      <title>20 Astral Keys to Gates of Universal Consciousness</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/b827b58e-e2ee-442d-bb62-0fede4108426</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Carl Gustav Jung (1875–1961) was a Swiss psychiatrist who developed the field of analytical psychology and introduced the concept of archetypes of consciousness being "innate universal psychic dispositions that form the substrate from which the basic themes of human life emerge. Being universal and innate, their influence can be detected in the form of myths, symbols, rituals and instincts of human beings. Archetypes are components of the collective unconscious and serve to organize, direct and inform human thought and behaviour.  ...archetypes heavily influence the human life cycle, propelling a neurologically hard-wired sequence which he called the stages of life. Each stage is mediated through a new set of archetypal imperatives which seek fulfillment in action."[1]
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Centuries before Jung, the Maya introduced the very similar concept of Archetypes of Divine Consciousness. (According to the Maya, there are 20 of them.) Likewise, these Archetypes form the substrate from which individual Divine Consciousness emerges. Also being components of the collective unconscious, the Maya-identified Archetypes organize, direct and engender Divine thought and behavior in the human experience, in stages, over the course of days, months, years, ...millennia. Hard wired into the binary code of DNA and the human brain, these Archetypes are mediated through the permutations of an universal, binary, object oriented Code evident in and galactically broadcast by harmonic star cycles.  The Maya perceived the astral Nature of the Code and embodied It in a "lunar calendar." Regarded as their Sacred Calendar, they call it the "Tzolkin." The Tzolkin enables them to track the cycles, the individual stages of the cycles [i.e. days] and the progressive effects of those intermeshed stages in order to further enable them to live in conscious alignment and synchronicity with the 20 Archetypes. According to the Maya, living in such alignment and synchronicity activates the inherent Divine Consciousness latent within the individual consciousness. Thus activated, the Divine Unconscious within can be consciously harnessed and channeled for communlal and personal well being. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Being both harmonic and binary in Nature, the Tzolkin's Code has been digitized and expressed in sound. As the stuff of our bodies comes from starlight, the acoustic expressions (of the Code's objects relative to the individual Archetypes) directly facilitate an exclusively positive rewiring of the brain, aligning and synchronizing its synapses with the dynamics of the respective Archetypes, and having a sympathetic effect advancing the activation of analogous higher functions of DNA. (Rather than needing to track the individual harmonic stages of the Archetypes as they naturally occur staggered over the course of months and larger spans of Time, as Maya clerics have done for centuries, the Archetypes' entire harmonic sequences can be heard in seconds.)  Each of the Archetypes has been individually recorded (in great for meditation lengths) and embodied in "The Mayan Book of Wisdom" (a cognitive/consciousness enhancement software product from DarkMother.com).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;On this Summer Solstice weekend, in the interest of fostering the planetary increase of Light, you can download an abridged version of The Mayan Book of Wisdom containing 3:00.00 excerpts of the full length (13:00.00) expressions of the 20 Archetypes. They're for you - Download them, experience them, use them; enjoy them.

&lt;br/&gt;Tap into the raw creative energy of the Universe to transcend patterns &amp;amp; open ourselves up to access the wealth, love and power inherently possible in our lives.

      <title>Enemas for Health</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/bf5feeb6-f749-48ad-a3a6-48bf0ca1e6e7</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I'm gathering information about enemas for cleansing as well as for administering medicines.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'd like to know some enema recipes for replenishing EFA's.  I've heard that flax and hemp oil are good to put in an enema, but how much?
&lt;br/&gt;If you know about resources or somewhere I can be directed to for help I'd really appreciate it.
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>AyurJyothi Massage Stage 2009 India</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/2b0532bf-6625-4abe-97f1-542a6a43a77d</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;AyurJyothi Massage Stage 2009 India
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;AyurJyothi   massage is a special kind of massage or    healing method based on   ayurveda and yoga.  This method is a powerful way to     give an experience   to the people who are tired and depressed. It is also highly therapeutic   for people who are suffering   from muscular pain, insomnia, helps to come out from emotional imbalances etc, if the healer    is   really serious and devoted to his profession   can help his/her clients to feel   the deep silence   and peace inside themselves. It is   a    powerful method to come back to the self, which   help to have a peaceful   life.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This massage    helps   to balance the   vita (air) pita (fire) kappa (water) elements in    the human   body. According to ayurveda   balance of three elements   is the result of good health. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It also helps to generate more pranas the life force in our body and mind, helps to promote strong immunity and   spiritual awakenings. It needs an open mind with trust, more   sessions   and change of life style also necessary too.  This   method   often   helps people to change    their life. That is why this massage   is called    AyurJyothi massage: ayur means life, Jyothi means   light.   It is   the light of life. This   method helps us   to have a positive   transformation in our life.

      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/926e386f-adf8-4f7a-b4d7-517ebb147029</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Yesterday, while cutting back sugar cane, gashed open his arm with a machette. It is a very deep cut (you can see the muscle). 
&lt;br/&gt;I have been exploring the different threads on first aid remedies, but wasn't sure if the suggestions for cuts were for minor surface wounds. 
&lt;br/&gt;Does anyone have any experience with this?   (Other than going to the hospital for stitches.) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We trust that the body can heal itself, but if there are any supplements, or essential oils, or tinctures, or herbs that might aid it, we would love your help. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thank you for your time. 
&lt;br/&gt;Aloha, 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;NORA&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Massage Ther. training advice  - SF Bay area</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/7a8b3bcb-cb43-4761-8327-36bc3e3774ed</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hi there,
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'm looking to pursue training in massage therapy and am interested in hearing from more experienced folks about good programs in the SF Bay area.  I currently live in Marin county and am so far trying to decide between Alive &amp;amp; Well (Institute of Conscious Bodywork) and Diamond Light School of Healing and Massage, which are both located in Marin county.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Any thoughts about either of these two programs would be most appreciated...I'm also open to commuting to other programs in the Bay Area.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Many thanks!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Ticklish Therapy -Help!</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/a6064bee-60db-420b-bb20-372333e38a74</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;For the past few years I have had an awesome therapy done. I have had full body massage, reflexology, and a few other modalities performed, but nothing has compared to this. I actually heard about this from an interview with the actress, Drew Barrymore. I have had it done primarily for stress relief, but have found it has also helped with pain and allergies, I am guessing due to endorphine release and the stimulation of reflexes. 
&lt;br/&gt;My therapist worked strictly on the soles of the feet, using a variety of techniques from finger stroking, light scratching, feathers (both ends) etc. And yes, it completely overwhelmes the senses and is extremely intense. I laugh almost continuously which oddly puts me into a parasympathetic state. I am one of those people who cannot stop thinking, even during a full body massage, but this tickling technique blocks everything completely out but the sensation. When she is finished I am completely, COMPLETELY relaxed and have even fallen asleep during the five minute cool-down. It is the most awesome massage I have ever had. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I recently showed it to another massage therapist and she said over and over, "I would never have believed it!" and later told me how it got her through a following day or two of stress. She said it was the best foot massage experience she has ever had! Anyhow, this whole technique thoroughly fascinates me. Anyone else ever heard of it? If I can explain further, or clarify, I would be happy to do so.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I know it sounds unconveentional, but I have found historical references to it. It is a form of touch, stimulates the reflexes and nerves, causes a healthy amount of laughter, and releases endorphines into the body and for me caused a natural high. I did find the following quote on a now defunk website called "Sensitivity Mapping." 
&lt;br/&gt;"The wild, uninhibited laughter of a child, as opposed to the more cerebral laughter of an adult, can be attained by a prolonged and intense tickling of the soles of the feet. Considered torture by some, tickling itself can actually be a great way to relieve stress if the recipient can handle the stimulation and surrender to the sensation. This is easier said than done-tickling is confusing, a literal love/hate relationship, as the mind says, "yes" and the body screams, "No". Tickling can be perceived as both pleasure and pain, like an itch that cannot be scratched. It is this quandary that the body both craves and resists, sometimes simutaneously. Specifically, tickling the sensory-rich soles of the feet bring other stress relieving factors [reflexology/nerve stimulation] into play as well. Tickling and laughter are both mysterys that in years have received much deserved attention." 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am not saying this quote is a direct tie-in but it seems to lend evidence to the therapy. I am so curious to learn more but keep running into dead ends. Please HELP!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Quandry&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Codex Alimentarius - Control of all Food, Natural Products, etc Globally by 2009</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/ae3478cf-fc30-4af0-9b39-e7086a1b08d2</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Codex Alimentarius” means “food rules” in Latin. The organization was born in 1962 when the UN established the Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) as a “Trade Commission”. It was created to regulate, and thus control, every aspect of how food and nutritional supplements are produced and sold to the consumer. It is solely about trade and the profits of multi-national corporations. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The more natural health products people use, the fewer drugs they use. Millions are turning to natural health. Big Pharma fears this as it would diminish profits. Codex is designed to protect Big Pharma profits by eliminating natural health products and treatments. Health food stores and wellness companies would be hit hard. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Codex is unscientific because it classifies nutrients as toxins and uses “Risk Assessment” to set ultra low so-called “safe upper limits” for them. Risk Assessment is a branch of Toxicology, the science for assessing toxins. The proper science for assessing nutrients is Biochemistry. Codex does not use Biochemistry. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Codex is based on the Napoleonic Code, dating back to Bonaparte. Under this code, anything not explicitly permitted is automatically forbidden. Under Common Law (our system), something does not have to be explicitly permitted to be legal. The tyrannical Napoleonic Code allows the banning of natural health options by default. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Codex will go into global effect on December 31, 2009, unless we, the People, take action and avert it. Right now, we are like a frog boiled slowly, the heat raised gradually so we won’t jump out of the water. The media is used to make us believe that Codex is about “consumer protection”. Part of the media strategy is to tarnish the image of natural health options, through for-hire studies. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One-time defenders of supplements and nutritional products, such as the National Nutritional Foods Association (NNFA) and Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN), have fallen prey to new pharmaceutical members and are spreading disinformation saying that Codex is “consumer protection”. Their boards used to be run by health freedom fighters. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The U.S. has a powerful legal tool for health freedom: the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA), passed in 1994 after massive grass-roots action. DSHEA scientifically classifies nutritional supplements as food and prevents dosage restrictions; Codex unscientifically classifies them as toxins and sets ultra-low doses. The VMG violates U.S. law because it violates DSHEA. We must unite to protect DSHEA, our best legal defense against Codex. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The pharmaceutical industry works through irresponsible/corrupt politicians to do their bidding. The path to institute Codex in America is to “influence” Congress to pass laws friendly to drugs and unfriendly to nutritional supplements, so that slowly everyone comes to believe that nutrients are “dangerous”, and drugs are “proper medicine”. Susan Davis (D, CA) and other politicians are helping Big Pharma by supporting bills designed to destroy DSHEA. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) has two committees which impact nutrition.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;One of them, the “Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses” (CCNFSDU), is chaired by Dr. Rolf Grossklaus, a physician who believes that nutrition has no role in health. This is the “top-guy” for Codex nutritional policy, and he has stated that “nutrition is not relevant to health”.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As unbelievable as it may sound, Dr. Grossklaus actually declared nutrients to be toxins in 1994 and instituted the use of toxicology (Risk Assessment) to prevent nutrients from having any impact on humans who take supplements! It is worth mentioning that Dr. Grossklaus happens to own the Risk Assessment company advising CCNFSDU and Codex on this issue. This company makes money when its toxicology services are used for the “assessment” of nutrients. Here in the U.S. we call that a “conflict of interest”.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Codex is made up of thousands of standards and guidelines. One of them, the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline (VMG), is designed to permit only ultra low doses of vitamins and minerals (and make clinically effective nutrients illegal). How can the VMG restrict dosages of vitamins and minerals? By using Risk Assessment (toxicology) to assess nutrients.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;While Risk Assessment is a legitimate science (it is a branch of toxicology), it is the wrong science for assessing nutrients! In fact, in this context, it is actually junk science. Biochemistry, the science of life processes, is the correct science for assessing nutrients. Codex Alimentarius treats nutrients as toxins, which is literally insane.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Nutrients are not toxins - they are essential for life!!

      <title>Conspiracy History compilation DVDs torrents</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/82bb53fb-387d-4332-abb8-95247faf3f36</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;**************************************************
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Greetings to all my relations.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is the last step of our project History Watch. If History is
&lt;br/&gt;defined and known by the texts, we can now add to this definition the
&lt;br/&gt;recorded events of the filmed archives. Animated images are harder to
&lt;br/&gt;deny than printed words. Our objective is to spread out freely some of
&lt;br/&gt;the little broadcast, even hidden informations about our collective
&lt;br/&gt;History.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We put online a collection of 391 documentaries and other selected and
&lt;br/&gt;recut videos, to offer to a wide public the best of the infos
&lt;br/&gt;available on the net in english and in french. If you are interested,
&lt;br/&gt;you have the time, the right equipment and connection, all you have to
&lt;br/&gt;do is open the joint document and decompress it if needed (but normaly
&lt;br/&gt;your system should do it automaticaly). You'll find therein nine links
&lt;br/&gt;that will open the torrents for the nine DVDs we compiled (around 4.6
&lt;br/&gt;Gig each, for a total of a little over 41 G, being over 100 hours of
&lt;br/&gt;videos).
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Otherwise, you can go directly to btjunkie.com and search for these titles.
&lt;br/&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Secret services - cover up - covert ops
&lt;br/&gt;Secret weapons - UFO
&lt;br/&gt;Terrorism Theories propaganda
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Torrents are a system of peer to peer data transfer. The more people
&lt;br/&gt;download a torrent, the faster it spreads and the longer it stays on
&lt;br/&gt;the net. If you don't have a bittorrent software, we suggest that you
&lt;br/&gt;download uTorrent on utorrent.com. If you want to participate in
&lt;br/&gt;facilitating the diffusion of these infos about our collective
&lt;br/&gt;History, download these torrents on as many computers as possible,
&lt;br/&gt;whether it is in cybercafes. It takes one or two minutes to open up
&lt;br/&gt;the links and the downloading will keep proceeding on its own.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Please spread this out, take part in this action for social education
&lt;br/&gt;on a planetary scale. Thanks.

      <title>Hot Stone Chakra Cleanse</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/3796c508-5673-4db9-b693-f35355eadc8d</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Looking to raise money for my state Massage License. I am offering a $45 Hr. Hot Stone Chakra Cleanse. The idea is to place the warm stones on individual chakras while using Reiki to channel the energy deeper. A Tibetan Singing Bowl is also used for sound therapy tool and to cleanse your energy field. A lot of time is spent on the Crown Chakra to awaken your Kundalini energy and to balance the spinal fluid giving you more physical balance. Aromatherapy Oils can also be used to further the "sense" experience. I believe through the use of all these tools we become more in tune with mother nature, the universe, and our true being. I recently did this for a client who left feeling so grounded and had magnificient color in her face and bounce in her step. I live somewhere between Central and Western Mass. You can drop me a line if you're interested.&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;br/&gt;Healing Arts Practitioners 
&lt;br/&gt;Transform your Practice - a 3 hour Workshop 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Learning how to thrive as a healing arts practitioner requires considering 
&lt;br/&gt;both your passion and your economic well-being. Balancing these needs can 
&lt;br/&gt;be as integral to your personal and spiritual path as your practice itself. 
&lt;br/&gt;Because in order to help people, first we need to reach them and communicate 
&lt;br/&gt;what we can do for them. 
&lt;br/&gt;We offer an approach to marketing the Healing Arts that helps practitioners 
&lt;br/&gt;overcome their blocks and negative feelings about marketing, define their 
&lt;br/&gt;ideal vision of their work life, and work within a supportive community to 
&lt;br/&gt;grow their business from their most authentic place. We call this approach 
&lt;br/&gt;Transformative Marketing. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;In our introductory class, On your Mark, you will: 
&lt;br/&gt;- Envision your ideal practice and get it on paper 
&lt;br/&gt;- Develop awareness of your blocks to achieving your vision 
&lt;br/&gt;- Master tools for working through blocks that limit your progress 
&lt;br/&gt;- Create a niche to jump-start your ideal business 
&lt;br/&gt;

      <title>Energy loss! Need help!</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/40425215-c96e-4794-97b4-5062e02ecbc3</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I am expieriencing something new reciently! I am having very low vibrational, physical, &amp;amp; mental energy fluctuations. 
&lt;br/&gt;This is strange to me because I am a very out-going social highly energetic person. I have friends that love me &amp;amp; even my intimacy needs are being met. 
&lt;br/&gt;However I feel Alone &amp;amp; un-loved quite often &amp;amp; my energy gets so low I begin to feel depressed. For someone with such a high energy field this is perplexing! 
&lt;br/&gt;Maybe we are not ment to hold such a high energy field all the time, but why the sudden drop off I wonder! 
&lt;br/&gt;Any thoughts or advice would be greatly apriciated! 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Seeking advice- 
&lt;br/&gt;River~ &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Healthy Cells, Healthy Body</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/6e6a241e-fcb0-444f-80c5-7779d89346c2</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The body has many defenses against bacteria and viruses.  The mucous membranes in the nose and lungs are one of the first.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If invading organisms manage to infiltrate these, and if not intercepted by the immune system at this point, those which reproduce in intracellular fluid head straight for weak cells, break-in and if the pH is also disturbed, use the cell as a place to clone themselves by the thousands.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As they multiply, they use nutrients and oxygen meant for the cells, and produce waste substances that are harmful to body tissues. Once inside the body, invading organisms take over cells that have been weakened by lack of electrolytes.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Lowered osmotic pressure and altered pH of these cells makes it easy for a virus to “break in” and reproduce.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As the viral organisms increase the cell burst and they escape to invade and multiply in other weak cells.When cells are healthy—we are healthy.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This is the keep to health and longevity and protection against cancer, viruses, pollutants, chemical and all forms of radiation.  Keeping the cells, immune system, organs, elimination and the body’s production of antioxidant nutrients at maximum capacity will enable us to survive under the assault of whatever the twentieth century throws at us.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Electrolytes are the primary factors for cell and immune system health.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;They keep cell membranes strong, raise their osmotic pressure, so that no virus or bacteria can enter, and maintain correct pH in intracellular fluid so that no virus or bacteria can enter, and maintain correct pH in intracellular fluid so that invading organisms cannot survive.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Healthy cells are kept round by osmotic pressure or osmotic equilibrium—an opposing fluid pressure between the minerals on the inside of the cell and the mineral on the outside of the cell.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is a critical balance and protects the autoimmune system in two specific ways:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;1.      Bacteria or viruses cannot enter a healthy cell as the walls are strong and impenetrable.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;2.      Trace minerals ensure that the pH of the cell is unfriendly to invading micro-organisms.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The body must receive and adequate mineral supple to maintain in each cell, what is know as osmotic equilibrium.  Approximately 5 percent of each cell should consist of minerals.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;According to Dr. Jerry Olarsch, “As we become deficient in trace minerals, the cell walls weaken and become irregular in shape, and their pH is upset. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As the cell wall pressure breaks down, a virus can attack the weak spot and break in. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If the cell’s pH is unbalanced it becomes host to the virus. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Bacteria and so on, and this is the beginning of disease, whether it is a cold or cancer. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Electrolyte balance is the critical factor. There is nothing else in nature which keeps cells round and strong.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The body’s pH and cell health, in addition to immune system strength, is the ultimate weapon against disease.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This can only come through mineralization of the body.  We have overlooked the most basic thing in our diet and as a result are running after a million cures. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We can’t see the forest for the trees.  When electrolyte balance is re-established in the body the cells become round and impenetrable.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Reestablishing electrolyte balance has significant and enormous potential to prevent and eliminate disease.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Dr. Bernard Jensen writes, “It is time for scientists to realize that there is something deeper in a man that has to be cared for.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;We cannot heal a person through symptomatic relief..  We must go to the root of the problem—to the cell itself—where electrolytes are at work giving life.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It is here that real healing can begin.”
&lt;br/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/158a0b78-a2c9-41b4-888c-dff902a8bae6</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Ok...so Im about to go INSANE! Ive been stressed living where I am temporarily in upstate ny, and thus not eating as healthy or getting as much exercise. decent organic produce is hard to come by AND expensive and Im working a part time job that now after the holidays has been cut to like 12 hours a week. Its only minimum wage at 7.25 an hour and after the govt rapes my paycheck thats not much. SO....I got a cold...caught it from a bad date I had. It started with horrible post nasal drop. UNENDING. but my nose was clear...
&lt;br/&gt;then the nose clogged. I used a neti pot to unclog it. And drank lots of herbal tea for the throat and took chlorella and other super green foods and some emergenc packets. and grapefruit seed extract. still f*cking post nasal drip! coughing all night.....fun times. so i broke down and bought mucinex and an antihistamine (DUH....stupid...taking an expectorant AND a cough suppressant...dumb. but i was livid and going crazy.) So I stopped those (also realzed the stupid mucinex, while containing a natural ingredient ALSO had a cough suppressant as well.
&lt;br/&gt;So yeah...i stopped all those. at the time i was having chills AND fevers (and an allergic reaction to the stupid meds i can beleive i took) So Im off them....I feel ok now energywise....still taking the natural stuff. no chills, no fever, no nightsweats like before...BUT Ive got this deep f*cking chest congestion. It WONT go away. Ive nearly lost my voice too and the post nasal drip WONT stop. I had to call in sick to work yesterday (and probably today if I cant talk) my cell phone bill is due next week and my gym membership (which i might as well just cancel) I cant even see massage clients on the side, because i cant talk...
&lt;br/&gt;So I dont know what to do. I feel like I should at least see a doctor for diagnosis if anything. Im using a vaporizer too...with essential oils. Drinking TONS of water....etc....
&lt;br/&gt;I just cant get this $hit outta my lungs! Im gonna go insane! i try coughing it up...i get a dry heave instead and if anything comes out its from my nose not my chest. Id LOVE to see a naturopath or acupuncturist but ive got like 15 bucks to my name. I dont know what to do. I can handle getting sick...feeling like crap and all that...but heavy chest congestion with a dry cough and NO F*CKING WAY TO GET IT OUT I CANT HANDLE.
&lt;br/&gt;Oh...and Im also taking goldenseal. and gargling with salt water. Anyone know ANYTHING that would help?
&lt;br/&gt;Im nearly driven to go to the sliding scale clinic, not that i can even afford that unless it only costs me 10 bucks....
&lt;br/&gt;no free clinics in Syracuse, NY and of course theyre probably just prescribe antibiotic (which i wont take since im already on grapefruitseed and goldenseal) and a decongestant (which doeesnt seem to do $hit!
&lt;br/&gt;UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Help for bone tumor on thumb</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/c064dda1-11b1-4d25-949b-aed68572f601</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;To cut a long story short, late last year I was diagnosed with an osteoid osteoma, which is a benign bone tumor, and it was on the side of my left thumb. I am only 23, and it is very rare for someone my age to be diagnosed with this type of tumor. I am generally very healthy and well, I am a reiki practitioner and very interested in holistic and natural healing and wellness.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Western medicine has helped me to diagnose and *fix* the problem physically, but I understand that things that manifest as illness in teh physical must be caused by something higher up the vibrational ladder i.e. an emotional, mental, spiritual cause. and that this higher level must also be healed for the symptoms to fully heal. Anyway, through my own research I found out that the area of my thumb that the tumor was in is in the "brain zone" for reflexology... it is also on the lung meridian. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Can anyone suggest things that may assist me in the healing process/finding out the root cause of this symptom? Because it was an awful thing to go through and I do NOT want it to come back... I am committed to healing myself.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For more details on my thumb, the following blog entries should help:

      <description>&lt;div&gt;I have just acquired a new space for massage and bodywork...this week. Needs TLC to get operational but has great potential. Located adjacent to an upcoming dance studio. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I am a massage therapist looking to share the space with another like-minded individual willing to put some elbow greese into getting the space going. No Washer/Dryer yet....but I will be looking into it. With a good make-over the possibilities are endless. Please email with inquires and we can go from there.

      <title>Experience An India Yoga Odyssey</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/5f9b81b1-ea78-461d-b40e-02cff306e92b</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Experience a Transforming India YOGA Odyssey 
&lt;br/&gt;                            		(February 21 to March 6, 2008)
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Just imagine your airplane touching down at the India airport of your choice – Mumbai or Ahmadabad – on Thursday, February 21, 2008.  Awaiting you at the airport is your guide, who will escort you by rail or taxi to your hotel accommodations in Surat City, Gujarat State.  You will have arrived just in time to take in the World Yoga Championships, either as a participant or as a spectator. If anyone wishes to participate in the Championships the necessary registration forms can be downloaded at www.lifemission.org.   The Championships run from February 22 though February 24.  (The Championships were primarily founded as a means for encouraging youth worldwide to engage themselves in the ageless science of yoga for the betterment of body, mind and spiritual development in similar fashion that society worldwide encourages youth to participate in common sporting events.)
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Following the Championships, you will be escorted to Malav Ashram for a five night stay, which includes three days of “hands on” yogic training under the expert guidance of Acharya Yogendradev, who has taught in North America, Taiwan, and India 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;And now – the Tours – you will tour the historic spiritual pilgrimage site of Kayavarohan and visit the Brahmeshwar Temple of Lord Lakulish (the 28th incarnation of Lord Shiva).  You will spend 5 nights at a beautiful oceanside resort near the city of Div, overlooking the Indian Ocean with its miles of sandy beaches, and visit surrounding points of interest including the renowned Somnath Temple; a lion wildlife reserve, an ayurvedic clinic of a renowned ayurvedic physician where you will be able to observe the natural preparation of ayurvedic medicines and receive a free medical check-up.  You will also have the opportunity to visit the temple complex at Rajrajeshwardham, where Lord Lakulish materialized in his divine body on January 29, 2007.  Then – another great grace awaits you  – you will have the rare opportunity of having darshan with the highly advanced yogi, Swami Rajarshi Muni.*
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Now your yoga trip is reaching its end – on March 6, you will be escorted by your guide to your departure airport for your trip home – to reflect on and absorb your many yoga experiences of the past 2 weeks; the multitudes of wondrous Indian sites you've seen; the unmatched hospitality of its people and the many lasting new friendships you've made.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;The cost per participant is $ 695.00 USD.  This price does not include your transportation costs to and from India, which is entirely your responsibility, as are any required passports, visas etc.   This price does include designated tour accommodations and meals in India, and all ground transportation to the Championships and touring sites in India, as well as ground transportation to and from airports at Mumbai or Ahmedabad.  Any profits after all costs have been met will be directed to projects for the poor, including schools and hospitals.   For further information, go to www.lifemission.org, or email: Acharya Yogendradev,  ggvaghela@yahoo.com; or Dennis Konchak, lifema@telus.net; or  Hans Splinter, Hsplinter@cogeco.ca. 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;* Swami Rajarshi Muni is the author of a vast library of nearly 100 titles in four different languages, including ten books in English.  Some of the English titles are: Classical Hatha Yoga, Divine Body Through Yoga; Tenets for the Spiritual Life; Infinite Grace (The Story of My Spiritual Lineage),  Awakening the Life Force, and Light from Guru to Disciple.  For more information, check the Life Mission website www.lifemission.org and www.amazon.com under Rajarshi Muni

      <title>Drikung Kagyu Global Resources / Tantric Buddhism and Mahamudra Book References / Vajrasattva Retreat in North Carolina</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/77307d72-8286-485a-ba72-64ccc3a0e24c</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Title: Drikung Kagyu Global Resources / Tantric Buddhism and Mahamudra Book References / 
&lt;br/&gt;Vajrasattva Retreat in North Carolina  -- Repost from "Tribe : Teaching Yoga"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Keywords:  Deity Yoga, global resources for Kagyu lineage Tantric Buddhism and Mahamudra practice, book: "Pearl Rosary The Path of Purification", inner healing yoga, interfaith retreat center, North Carolina, Southern Dharma Retreat Center, Drikung Kagyu lineage, Vajrasattva empowerment and retreat January 2008.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;NAMO GURU SRI HASYAVAJRAYE
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Homage to Mila Joyous Vajra, King of the Mountain Yogis.  For the ordeals you endured, for the sweetness of this profound transmission, and for "a few cotton threads" we thank you from our innermost hearts.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;"Knots of the right and left channels [ of the human energy body ] are loosened to their natural state
&lt;br/&gt;By Vajrasattva mantra which draws currents in and out of the central channel.
&lt;br/&gt;Don't rely on any mental support other than Vajrasattva mantra repetition."
&lt;br/&gt;               Milarepa to Rechungpa, 
&lt;br/&gt;			   quoted in "Drinking the Mountain Stream: New Stories and Songs by Milarepa"
&lt;br/&gt;			  
&lt;br/&gt;A vast amount of effective Buddhist / yogic teaching is available through the web site for Vajra Publications, specifically for Kagyu lineage tantric Buddhism and Mahamudra practice. See the web site at
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.vajrapub.org/
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Drikung lineage is not yet well known in the West( and that WILL change, I promise you ), but it is powerful and available in different parts of the world.  See
&lt;br/&gt;http://www.dkinstitute.org/
&lt;br/&gt;This lineage offers a serious and direct path to inner yogic discipline and primordial awareness yoga ( i.e. Mahamudra ).  The Drikung lineage descends from great yogic masters such as Tilopa and Naropa of India, and Marpa and Milarepa of Tibet. 	
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The Drikung lineage is, I will state from personal and professional experience as a yogi and vajrayana guru, entirely authentic, classical, and effective:  I personally received two major rounds of empowerment from His Holiness Chetsang Tulku Rinbochay, once in Seattle and again in Hawaii ( Big Island ).  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;During one of these, a Heruka Vajrasattva in 1987, I experienced energy pouring down through my crown center as though a gallon of milk was literally being poured through the top of my head.  How many yoga teachers do you know that can do that?  ( I was outwardly and inwardly sick and exhausted at the time from several years of severe difficulty, so that was very much a necessary healing for my magnetic field.  Reason enough to receive Vajrasattva empowerment and do the 100,000 recitations, although of course your mileage may vary. ) 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Understand therefore that HH Chetsang Tulku is a New School guru and a Kagyu guru of the first rank, someone to be respected as much as Vajradhara Kalu Rinbochay and Kyabgon Khentin Tai Situpa ( these being some of my other Kagyu teachers ).  He is a very gentle, quiet, generous man, very warm and approachable. I would certainly trust anyone he names vajrayana guru.
&lt;br/&gt;    
&lt;br/&gt;I have many primary practice texts of the Drikung Kagyu, which are excellent, and indeed these were among the first key practice texts for Kagyu devayoga sadhana to be published.  Since they keep producing more great study and practice materials, I needs must make more ( debit card ) offerings to receive the precious dharma ( although my dharma and yoga book stacks are more than overflowing ).  It must be emphasized that these practice texts are generically useful for all New School tantric Buddhists, where New School refers to the Kagyu, Sakya, and Gelugpa Orders of Tibetan Buddhism. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Beyond this, be aware that the Drikung school, like the Karma Kagyu school of vajrayana, incorporates a substantial amount of Old School ( Nyingma and Great Perfection ) teaching and practice.  For example, their Phowa ( Consciousness Transference At Time Of Death ) does not derive from the Kagyu lineage Six Yogas of Naropa, but rather from an Old School Treasure Teaching ( terma ).    
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;As this letter goes out to a diverse and broad set of audiences, I will say a few words on the Kagyu lineage, on deity yoga, and Mahamudra.  In short, here are some truly wonderful books for you:
&lt;br/&gt;Book 1) "Drinking the Mountain Stream: New Stories and Songs by Milarepa", by Lama Kunga Rimpoche and Brian Cutillo. This book is extraodinarily good as an introduction and in providing key teaching/ precept songs which are both poetic and intuitive.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Book 2) "The Garland of Mahamudra Practices", by Khenpo Konchog Gyaltsen and Katherine Rogers.  This is a short summary of Cakrasamvara / Vajrayogini deity yoga and Mahamudra awareness yoga translated by a Drikung abbot from the writings of Kunga Rinchen, the Fifteen Lineage Holder of the Drikung Kagyu transmission.  It is remarkably clear teaching on the essentials of New School vajrayana practice.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Book 3) "Clarifying the Natural State", by Dakpo Tashi Namgyal ( translation by the priceless western scholar Eric Pema Kunsang ).  This practice summary for the primordial awareness yoga of Mahamudra is held to be "preeminent" and "indispensible" by the great modern scholar-yogi Khenchen Thrangu Rinbochay. 'Nuff said.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Book 4) "Becoming Vajrasattva; the Tantric Path of Purification", by [ Lama ] Thubten Yeshe, 2nd edition.  A remarkably useful retreat and teaching manual on Vajrasattva.  With this and Vajrasattva empowerment one can practice the indispensible deity of Purification, Vajrasattva / Diamond Being.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Now, there is going to be, in early January, a Vajrasattva empowerment and retreat to be given by a Drikung abbot ( Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin Rinpoche ) in North Carolina ( Southern Dharma Retreat Center ). Being given by an abbot, it could possibly be a major empowerment (i.e. a "four-banger", a four level catur-abhisekha empowerment ) for Vajrasattva, although I do not know.  Even a medium level "three banger" Vajrasattva empowerment is really quite good.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;If you live near there, farther from the world-class vajrayana empowerment venues, this is a truly great opportunity.  Vajrasattva is the ultimate swiss army knife of tantric practice.
&lt;br/&gt;- If you are a healer, or someone in need of deep healing, this is for you.
&lt;br/&gt;- If you are someone oriented towards "higher consciousness", you can take this as a primary practice.
&lt;br/&gt;- If you have chronic psychic or mental or environmental discord, then Vajrasattva and the included Vajrapani ( Thunderbolt Holder ) are ofgreat importance for inner cleansing. 
&lt;br/&gt;- If you are a western witch who wants to do goddess practice, you can take this transmission and thereby fully engage all the Twenty One Taras.      
&lt;br/&gt;- If you wish to practice any of the standard Buddhist deities, such as Manjusri, Avalokitesvara, Amitabha, Vajrapani and so forth, you can do so on the basis of this one empowerment and a compendium of deity yogas, which is 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Book 5) "Pearl Rosary The Path of Purification ( Sadhanas and Commentaries )" available from Vajra Publications. See
&lt;br/&gt;http://shop.vajrapub.org/product.sc?categoryId=1&amp;amp;productId=79
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;From that web page:
&lt;br/&gt;"Pearl Rosary The Path of Purification
&lt;br/&gt;"The content of this text is primarily meant for people who are far away and don’t have the opportunity to engage in Dharma practice in the presence of the teacher. The book itself is a representation of the teacher, and therefore is meant to help one’s Dharma practice. The text describes the methods of visualization and how to incorporate practice into our day to day life experience. .... The visualization of these deities is mainly concerned with the practices of tantrayana and mantrayana, which are the highest forms of practice. The path of visualization is very powerful and if properly engaged in, it is capable of transforming our life within a single moment.
&lt;br/&gt;"By engaging in this kind of practice, infinite clarity of mind is achieved, and through such power, we are able to purify our ordinary body and manifest the body of the deity. Likewise, we are able to purify ordinary speech, and manifest wisdom speech. Furthermore, we are able to purify the deluded ordinary mind, and realize the wisdom mind.
&lt;br/&gt;From the foreword by His Holiness Drikung Kyabgon Chetsang Rinpoche"
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The point is that it is much more direct and useful to take a single encompassing empowerment, such as the Vajrasattva, than to go here and there for smaller blessing empowerments.  The Vajrasattva is of crucial importance in all schools of Indo-Tibetan vajrayana, AND at all levels, up through and including Great Seal and Great Perfection practice.  I have therefore placed a short basic teaching ( under tribe member "k t" photo "Hundred Syllable mantra" ) for you. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;This practice is really pervasive.  You can get full Vajrasattva through many differently named transmissions, such as Cakrasamvara, Hevajra, Kalacakra, Padmasambhava, Tsik Sum Ne Dek/ Hitting The Three Essential Points, Vajrakilaya and so forth.  I myself have received sixty one full Vajrasattva empowerments, often through primary lineage holders, and have completed a quarter million of the long Vajrasattva mantra. . . and intend to do more, because of the great purifying and empowering effects of this mantra and sadhana.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;A story: some twelve years ago I was in Vancouver taking Native American yogic teachings from a Tsalagi ( Cherokee ) teacher named Ven. Dhyani Ywahoo. In addition to being a Tsalagi teacher of family lineage, she is also a Tibetan lama of the Nyingma lineage through HH Dudjom Rinbochay, and a Drikung Kagyu lama through HH Chetsang Tulku Rinbochay.  Her young son decided to run through the teaching hall, so she called out to him, "Hey, wouldn't you like to DO SOME VAJRASATTVA PRACTICE?  That was her way of telling him to settle down. So parents, this is a good practice for the kids. It's really one of the best gifts one could give a child or children, for their entire life.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I thank the Drikung lineage and Vajra Publications, HH Chetsang Tulku Rinbochay, Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin Rinpoche, and so forth.  With abiding gratitude I dedicate the merit of sharing this teaching on Kagyu dharma to the Drikung teachers, all the Kagyu teachers, and those who take up these quintessential liberating practices for the benefit of all our relations.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;May the Mahamudra transmission remain wide open like the sky!
&lt;br/&gt;May the Mahamudra transmission remain pervasive like the earth!
&lt;br/&gt;May the Mahamudra practitioners remain unshakeable like mountains!
&lt;br/&gt;May awareness remain shining like a flame!
&lt;br/&gt;May wakefulness remain lucid like a crystal!

&lt;br/&gt;*Retreat Description*
&lt;br/&gt;For four days of the retreat Khenpo Tsultrim Tenzin Rinpoche,
&lt;br/&gt;co-spiritual director of the Tibetan Meditation Center in Frederick,
&lt;br/&gt;MD will lead us in Vajrasattva meditation, a purification practice
&lt;br/&gt;from the Vajrayana path of Buddhism, as practiced in Tibet. The main
&lt;br/&gt;meditation practice in the Vajrayana path is deity yoga. With this
&lt;br/&gt;technique one first visualizes a being with a perfect form of a
&lt;br/&gt;deity. Then one creates a perfect auditory note, for example "OM,"
&lt;br/&gt;then one imagines a perfectly clear luminous mind. In the practice one
&lt;br/&gt;is empowered to first imagine all of these as a mentally "created"
&lt;br/&gt;being - outside oneself, then one merges with that being and imagines
&lt;br/&gt;oneself to have those physical qualities of perfection. Then one chants the
&lt;br/&gt;appropriate mantra and acquires "perfect speech." Finally one
&lt;br/&gt;dissolves the visualization into emptiness, thus realizing the
&lt;br/&gt;"perfect mind."
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;In doing this practice one comes to see that one's very nature is now
&lt;br/&gt;and always has been the same as the Buddha's - that is,
&lt;br/&gt;pure,uncontaminated - uncreated emptiness and luminosity. It has just
&lt;br/&gt;been tarnished by one's unskillful actions in the past. The
&lt;br/&gt;Vajrasattva practice can help to remove the tarnish so that our true
&lt;br/&gt;nature comes into focus. Khenpo Rinpoche will explain this further
&lt;br/&gt;during the first session on the evening of the 1st. On the following
&lt;br/&gt;morning he will give the empowerment that allows you to do this
&lt;br/&gt;practice on your own. For the rest of the retreat we will alternate
&lt;br/&gt;between doing the Vajrasattva practice, doing silent meditation and
&lt;br/&gt;receiving dharma talks about the Path to Enlightenment as embodied in
&lt;br/&gt;the Six Perfections or Paramitas.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;*Khenpo Rinpoche's Bio*
&lt;br/&gt;Khenpo Rinpoche was born in southeastern Tibet 1970. At the age of 14
&lt;br/&gt;he took his monk's vows and soon after began his Buddhist Studies at
&lt;br/&gt;Samye Monastery, the first monastery ever built in Tibet.
&lt;br/&gt;He was an outstanding student from the start and excelled in all of
&lt;br/&gt;his subjects. In 1987, he traveled to India to enroll in the Drikung
&lt;br/&gt;Kagyu Institute at Jangchub Ling in Dehra Dun.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;After finishing his course work he spent three years teaching lower
&lt;br/&gt;classes in the monastic college. He was awarded the title "Khenpo" in
&lt;br/&gt;1998 and then spent another three years teaching Buddhist philosophy
&lt;br/&gt;at the Institute. He has completed the Ngondro, Chakrasamvara and
&lt;br/&gt;other deity-yoga practices in retreat. Khenpo arrived at the Tibetan
&lt;br/&gt;Meditation Center in April 2001 to become one of the Spiritual
&lt;br/&gt;Co-directors of the Center. He also began his study of English at that
&lt;br/&gt;time and is now
&lt;br/&gt;quite fluent in it. He has been teaching at the Tibetan Meditation
&lt;br/&gt;Center, The Garchen Institute and at other Drikung Kagyu centers in
&lt;br/&gt;the US since then.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;*Southern Dharma Retreat Center*
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Southern Dharma Retreat Center is an interfaith retreat center which
&lt;br/&gt;hosts meditation retreats representing the world's various spiritual
&lt;br/&gt;traditions. Retreat teachers are experienced and recognized in their
&lt;br/&gt;own traditions. All retreats have meditation, contemplation, and
&lt;br/&gt;silence as underlying threads. Between teacher-led retreats,
&lt;br/&gt;individual private retreats may be arranged.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Located part way up one of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North
&lt;br/&gt;Carolina, isolated and forested, Southern Dharma provides a
&lt;br/&gt;comfortable, secluded gathering place removed from everyday
&lt;br/&gt;distractions. Retreats create an atmosphere of quiet reflection,
&lt;br/&gt;peace, and opening to the truths within the heart. 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Facilities  include the meditation hall, lodge, and tent platforms.
&lt;br/&gt;The lodge, which can accommodate twenty-three, has a dining room,
&lt;br/&gt;kitchen, small library, double bedrooms on the second floor, and a
&lt;br/&gt;dormitory room on the uppermost floor. All retreatants are housed on
&lt;br/&gt;the premises. Four tent platforms are located adjacent to a small
&lt;br/&gt;mountain stream with many waterfalls. Tent platforms may be reserved
&lt;br/&gt;but we are unable to take reservations for rooms in the lodge although
&lt;br/&gt;any preference indicated on the registration form will be taken into
&lt;br/&gt;consideration. Rooms are assigned first on the basis of gender, then
&lt;br/&gt;for any special medical reasons, and finally in the order of
&lt;br/&gt;registration. Only for retreats with small enrollment is a single room
&lt;br/&gt;available.
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;There are several trails -- along the stream, affording mountain
&lt;br/&gt;views, and one to the top of the mountain. 
&lt;br/&gt; 
&lt;br/&gt;Dana  is a Pali word (the language spoken in India during the time of
&lt;br/&gt;the Buddha about 400 BCE) meaning generosity. Teachers are
&lt;br/&gt;reimbursed by Southern Dharma only for their travel. At the end of a
&lt;br/&gt;retreat, retreatants are offered the opportunity to offer
&lt;br/&gt;contributions (anonymous if they prefer) to the teacher. Southern
&lt;br/&gt;Dharma Retreat Center also relies on financial support through
&lt;br/&gt;charitable contributions.

      <title>Supervision</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/1ef57002-c5cf-4692-a715-3a115ff1b71f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I just finished reading a book on ethics and massage and it talked a lot about supervision. It got me curious...
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Who here has had supervision outside of their training? 
&lt;br/&gt;Do you use supervision now? 
&lt;br/&gt;Have you in the past? 
&lt;br/&gt;Have you had it for specific incidents/issues? 
&lt;br/&gt;On going? 
&lt;br/&gt;Group? 
&lt;br/&gt;One on one? 
&lt;br/&gt;Peer?
&lt;br/&gt;Professional vs Casual? 
&lt;br/&gt;What's been your reasoning for having it? 
&lt;br/&gt;What's been your reason for not having it?
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I'd love to hear about people's experiences.
&lt;br/&gt;Thanks. &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Because we care 
&lt;br/&gt;Because we learn from each other 
&lt;br/&gt;Because there are wonderful visuals to look at 
&lt;br/&gt;Because we want to understand others 
&lt;br/&gt;Because we wish to connect 
&lt;br/&gt;Because we yearn for harmony 
&lt;br/&gt;Because we wish to integrate something new into our life 
&lt;br/&gt;Because of the creative process 
&lt;br/&gt;Because of the way people express themselves 
&lt;br/&gt;Because we want to share 
&lt;br/&gt;Because it is wondrous to meet people here which we never will meet in real life and actually care for them 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;It's a blessing to be invited that way! See your beauty your clarity and your challenges. 
&lt;br/&gt;Only good can come out of looking at all of you here on tribe. 
&lt;br/&gt;See the whole panoramic beauty is indeed almost intoxicating, in real life and here actually.
&lt;br/&gt;Our formless mind takes form and is indeed a beautiful gem stone, or perhaps a flower of a infinite garland of souls 
&lt;br/&gt;May we continue to see the beauty within and in one another and in this way distribute joy. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Peace! &lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Body Talk  Orlando!!</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/6bffe5b6-58f8-48a8-89cf-083fcd72a29b</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;Hello Dancers and Friends:
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;I just finished a 4 day conference learning about Body Talk and all of the systems in the human body. I would love to get certified in the holistic healing system, in which I have a verbal and written exam plus a full session on the teacher to pass.  I would love to have practiced on 50 human bodies before I take my exams.  I would like to offer free sessions to anyone that would joy learning more about their bodies. As a thank you for your time and help, you will receive a huge discount for more sessions to continue bringing your body into balance.  
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Thank you for your help - and be well!
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Cat
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;BodyTalk in Detail    www.bodytalksystem.com
&lt;br/&gt;The body is a complex and amazing mechanism, with each of its systems, cells and atoms in constant communication. Unfortunately, the stresses of everyday life can compromise these lines of communications or overload the energy circuits. To address this, the BodyTalk System provides a simple and effective form of therapy that allows the body’s systems to be re-synchronized so they can operate as nature intended – and effectively respond to injury and illness.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The BodyTalk System works by first identifying the weakened energy circuits within the body. The practitioner relies on the body’s inherent knowledge of itself to locate the energy circuits that need repair by using a form of biofeedback, which is a subtle muscle-testing technique. 
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;For every malfunctioning energy circuit found, the practitioner or client contacts the corresponding “points” with his or her hands. The practitioner then lightly taps the client on the top of the head, which stimulates the brain center and causes the brain to re-evaluate the state of the body’s health. The result is that the general energy balance of the body is greatly improved.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The practitioner then taps the client on the sternum to “announce” the corrected energy flows to the rest of the body. This is beneficial because the heart is responsible for communicating the state of the body’s health to the rest of the body. Stimulating the heart by tapping the sternum forces the heart to store the corrected energy patterns in the body’s cellular memory. This means that the body will remember these changes after the treatment.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;The BodyTalk treatment protocol is straightforward and requires no diagnoses. The practitioner relies on the guidance of the body’s natural wisdom to not only locate the weakened lines of communication but also to find the proper order in which they are to be addressed.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Just as the body heals a wound with a particular sequence of chemical reactions, the body wants to address all healing in a certain order. This concept is paramount in the balancing process to initiate the body’s ability to heal itself. The healing process usually follows rather quickly.&lt;/div&gt;

      <title>Love &amp;amp; Peace (music)</title>
      <link>http://HolisticTherapists.tribe.net/thread/eba54554-e7c2-4054-a703-7083b9d4ad9f</link>
      <description>&lt;div&gt;I just got a copy of Love &amp;amp; Peace by Lisa Lynne and George Tortorelli. It’s such a beautiful mixture of the celtic harp and the bamboo flute…very ancient sounding, but also peaceful and tranquil. Very healing music. Perfect for massage, yoga, reiki and just relaxin’ by the fire.  I’m enjoying it very much.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;Here are some samples (it looks like a blank page, but you have to scroll down a bit):

&lt;br/&gt;I didn’t know I loved the bamboo flute so much! &lt;/div&gt;

      <description>&lt;div&gt;Dear friends-
&lt;br/&gt;My situation is probably not unlike many of yours. My father became sick with cancer about 5 years ago (an aggressive type of sarcoma) as many of our family and friends have due to the life style's we have created over the past 100's of years.
&lt;br/&gt;
&lt;br/&gt;He is now to the point where his body is diminished and depleted although there is no longer living cancer detected in his body. He ails mostly from lack of movement and many many surgeri
