Homage to Rudi on his Birthday

The day I met Rudi, he was standing quietly in the kitchen doorway. There was something different about this man. His eyes twinkled with intense energy, as if it wasn’t quite contained in his small, rotund body. We approached the door, and I remember clinging to the corner elbow of my husband’s jacket out of fear to meet someone so expansive, yet so humble. He was bigger than life, standing right before my eyes. He just said hello politely and invited us into the class. I was 23 years old. It was 1972. After the meditation class we had dinner…

The Inevitable Rise of Global Consciousness

We are living in strange times. Everything is shifting under our feet. With so many changes, who can we believe? What if our success is already written in the “Precession of the Equinoxes” cycle, and confirmed by Hindu “Yugas”? What is the Precession of the Equinoxes? NASA describes it as a cycle of 26,000 years as the Earth’s rotates through the zodiac, currently leaving the Age of Pisces, entering the Age of Aquarius. It’s interesting that many ancient cultures kept calendars which understood this larger cycle. According to Swami Sri Yukteswar (guru of Yogananda) in his book “The Holy Science”,…

AVOID: Top 3 Foods of Inflammation & Heart Disease

Shall we play a game? In a small bowl mix together a few teaspoons sugar, a handful of any flour, and a splash of vegetable oil. Add a bit of water and stir. Let your slurry sit in a warm place for a few hours. It will harden into the most perfect rubbery superglue. These three foods accumulate as sticky mucus in your digestion, especially if you’re stressed, creating a kind of auto-immune inflammation response in which your body tries to defend itself from YOU.

But when they turn off the Wifi before bed, immediately they enjoy refreshing deep sleep. Why? I suggest we just switch the Wifi OFF at night. Studies clearly show a medical link between Wifi, brain biorhythms, melatonin, poor sleep, and increased Alzheimer’s risk. WiFi doesn’t cause immediate diagnosable illness. The damage happens slowly. There are always multiple causes for any disease. Alzheimer’s many causes can include high blood sugar, toxic accumulation, heavy metals,…
