Artificial EMF’s are the cigarettes of the 1950s

Sixty years ago everyone smoked cigarettes and no one was talking about how bad it was for you. Even pregnant ladies smoked back then and barely got a side eye. I mean, people smoked in airplanes!?! Can you imagine this today? I am convinced that some time in the not very distant future that we will look back at the ubiquitous unprotected overuse of cell phones and laptops and be similarly appalled.

Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF’s) exist around all electrical objects and organisms, including the human body and even the earth. The earth has a frequency (Schumann Resonance) that humans have been tuned to for thousands of years. When we are in natural environments we can feel this pulsation – picture how you feel barefoot on the beach. Your body is connecting to the natural EMFs of the earth. Now think about how you feel after sitting in front of a computer all day. What I have realized is that computers and the smart phones put me in a trance like state that is so subtle and addictive that it’s taken me many years to even notice it. And why is it exhausting if we are just sitting there anyway?

CELL-PHONE

Artist Nickolay Lamm’s take on what the world would look like if cell phone tower radiation were visible!

The technology that has quite literally changed every part of our lives has happened SO FAST. Anyone over 30 will remember the times when the best way to be in touch on the go was with a pager and you didn’t even have an email address. Back then we were not sitting with laptops and cell phones all day (Not to mention all the cell towers and wifi..). It really wasn’t that long ago. It is starting to dawn on me – the toxic side of this new way of life. I have been so wrapped up in using this technology that I never really stopped to think about the side effects. The rise of personal computers and the internet has created a whole new economy and exchange of ideas that has really empowered people in so many ways. It’s effects are EVERYWHERE! There is so much good that we can’t just get rid of technology, we have to learn how to live and thrive with it.

There has to be a way to work with technology intelligently. We just need to know what we are dealing with and take appropriate measures. I feel like it is important to strengthen our own electromagnetic fields with Kundalini yoga and meditation so we can keep our circuits healthy and strong.  I do believe there is a way to be in harmony with our higher nature despite modern society. Our harmonious frequencies will co create a better world. We don’t all need to run out of the cities on to Luddite farms. This is a big subject with many facets. The next step for my husband and I is to get laptop radiation shields and more crystals and orgonite products. My next post on the subject will be to discuss which products seem worthwhile. In the mean time I am curious to know if you use any radiation protection devices and what they are.

Neuron Voltage: The Point of Yoga

“We’re in the business of increasing the voltage of the neurons”

Harijiwan , Kundalini Yoga Teacher Training 2013, Santa Monica, CA,  first day, weekend one.

“As human beings we have fiber, we have an electromagnetic field, we have emotions, we have feelings – it’s a circuitry of life. It’s a dance of ten trillion cells and the beauty of it is that we are dancing in such harmony. “

Yogi Bhajan

The point of all yoga is to increase awareness of your own power and merge with it. Kundalini yoga is known as “the yoga of awareness”. According to wikipedia, a “neuron is an electrically excitable cell that processes and transmits information through electrical and chemical signals.” Voltage is  the rate at which energy is drawn from a source that produces a flow of electricity in a circuit.  In this case, your body in relation to the entire cosmos is the circuit, and Kundalini yoga is the technology of becoming aware of this relationship.

If you took a random poll, most people would say the point of yoga in general is to relax or to be flexible. These are just nice side effects. Most people think yoga is all about stretching. SO boring!!  At least to me anyway.  I mean those are really nice things, being flexible and relaxed, everyone wants that.  The fact is that Kundalini yoga is a vast multi dimensional system that has been practiced for centuries in total secrecy by an elite few until 1968.  Stands to reason there is more to it than relaxation and flexibility.

If we have read any article on yoga – ever – we have surely heard that the word yoga itself means “union”. We walk around thinking we are separate from everything else. and that causes a lot of problems. Pretty much every problem I can think of but especially the big ones — like environmental destruction and wars. Through the practice of yoga we can remember and feel that we are actually all connected and that experience one by one changes lives, communities, cultures and planets.

So yoga as a whole — Kundalini yoga, hatha yoga, Ashtanga yoga, bhakti yoga, etc — all are opening the body mind spirit connection. They are all working on opening the Kundalini force within the human. The Kundalini is the usually dormant creative power of the soul contained within the body, near the base of the spine. Each type of yoga has a different way of going about this. Hatha and Ashtanga yoga are very physical routes that emphasize the perfection of postures over many years (I have heard it takes around 20 years of perfect practice to raise the Kundalini via this route). Eventually you open the energetic locks in the body and the Kundalini energy is raised. The nervous system of the body is an electrical system. That released Kundalini force causes an increase of your vibratory speed – the electrical voltage-  and a feeling of unity with every part of your world is the result. The increased voltage means you have more energy to work with in your life.

So let me just be clear. I teach Kundalini yoga so I am biased. Regardless, Kundalini yoga (as taught by Yogi Bhajan) is a complete system of yoga (many yoga systems out there are diluted FYI) and it works really fast to raise the frequency of the human system. You can probably guess as much from the name alone. It is KUNDALINI yoga after all. There are rumors that Kundalini yoga is dangerous because it’s so powerful. When practiced properly (which is not hard to do) Kundalini yoga is only dangerous to the control systems in place that are not interested in humans being empowered.

Kundalini yoga works fast to increase your neuron voltage. It is a scientific technology that is many thousands of years old.  I like it because it’s very practical and it works.  When you practice it the experience teaches you more than reading about it ever will. The postures, breath patterns, and sounds we do all work in harmony to open the energy locks allowing the soul force contained in the body to open. It’s a system that emphasizes experience over theory. You can feel the energy open in your body and mind in your very first class. The words “neuron voltage” take on a new , personal meaning. You have the energy to do what you came here to do. You are thinking faster, with more clarity because previously blocked energy is flowing. Every area of your life is effected. With each breath we learn how to increase the speed of our energy fields, so our very presence does the work.

Kundalini yoga is  a subject I look forward to going into depth with you on this blog as I have been a student and teacher of it since 2007.  I was changed for the better from my very first class but still I am just beginning to scratch the surface of whats possible and available to explore.
