Do You Drink Enough Water? An Exercise to Increase Absorption

Your body needs water to live. All body functions require H2O. When you MOVE, the water is absorbed. When there’s no movement, there’s no nourishment, no release of toxins, no joy, and no life! It’s that simple. All your organs, circulation, energy flow to the cells, brain function, and thoughts rely on water. How much water do you drink per day? Start with 72 -80 ounces daily, and drinking just 6-8 ounces at a time. If you are older or less mobile, you must drink MORE water, as your body forgets how to absorb. And aging is synonymous to dehydration.…

What are the Stages of Global Awakening?

The world is in a process of awakening. I love that the internet is alive with questions. People are confused. Some are angry. Millions repeat the ancient pattern of fear. Some stuck in grief and disbelief. Some can forgive. My personal wish is to be resilient, adaptive and open. I wish to be whole, to pay my debts, to finish the cycle and be free. While each person’s individual process is unique, I believe there are specific stages on this journey. These stages are both personal and collective. When we finish each stage and let it go, we can move…

The Hindu Trimurti, Five Elements, and Fresh Duck Eggs!

Every place I look here in Bali I see a new thread to explore, a window into another time. This three-headed statue is the Hindu trinity or Trimurti. Each face represents an aspect of God in different forms: creation, protection, and destruction. The Trimurti was described in the Puranas, sacred memorized Sanskrit verses possibly 9,000 years old. Stones endure, and sometimes we can read the language of art even better than words or concepts. Our origins are old and sacred. Just wondering, how were people’s thoughts different in past centuries? Giant three-headed Shiva statues of Elefanta Caves near Mumbai are said to…

How much joy can you tolerate? So far, it’s a fun game. When I observe my thoughts, I see through my superficial reactions. This practice requires courage. Yes, I believe that COURAGE is…

I discover the real history of Bali, and make a video!

When I discovered the amazing story of Bali culture, I made a video about it. Bali is the remains of the ancient Majpahit Empire. Based in Java, this Hindu – Buddhist civilization ruled the Malay peninsula for centuries. When a Javanese king converted to Islam and required that all his people do the same, many Hindu upper class left Java for Bali, in order to maintain their old sacred ways of living. A major exodus of princes, priests, and royalty around 1527 CE established Bali as a safe haven for ancient Hinduism, and their traditions continue to this day. Who was Gajah Mada? Javanese…
