Hill Of BeansWhat do we really know about the spirit world that’s worth more than a hill of beans, and come to think of it, what exactly is a hill of beans worth? “Well now,” I hear you say “wouldn’t that depend on how big the hill was, and which type of beans you used”.? You are right of course, there are variables to consider, yet it can be quantified, which, according to all the experts is more than can be said for the world of spirit.? Or can it?

Someone once weighed a person just before, and then directly after their death, and found they were lighter by a few grams upon passing away.? Could this really have been the spirit as it left the body, or was some other factor involved, such as an exhalation of air for instance.? The debate if there is one will continue, and yet I am reminded that just about every religious and spiritual group around the world speaks of us having a soul or a spirit, and the goal is to attain some form of enlightenment, or to transcend this world of matter and take the form of spirit or light, either in this world or the next.

You can ask any physicist worth their salt and they will tell you that light has a mass and it can be weighed.? Does this mean that if we attain a spirit body made of light we will also have a mass however small,?and hence still be governed by either these or some other “physical” laws in the spirit world, for where there is mass is there not also matter, and does this also account for the phrase “as above, so below” that is often mentioned in spiritual circles?

We all know that “solid” matter isn’t really solid, but consists of atoms and molecules vibrating at a certain frequency.? If we could vibrate at the same rate as a wall for example, we would pass through it as though it wasn’t there.? Scientists are now realising that when you get beyond even the realm of the atoms there is just pure energy, a kind of matrix that binds everything together.? This energy could be the building blocks from which all that we see around us was created, and it could also be the barrier that separates this world from the next.

All esoteric traditions believe the spirit world to consist of various levels which get progressively finer in vibration until the Divine Spirit, or God is reached.? These levels have barriers which stop free flow in the direction of a coarser vibration to the next finer one, or in moving towards God, yet seems to allow movement the other way, towards us, which is possibly why we see ghosts or spirit entities, and could explain the belief in spirit “guides” and guardian angels.? So it would seem that if this is the case, then the spirit world also has certain laws in place which regulate the flow of energy, or the passing of a coarser vibration into a finer one, which would imply the presence of a mass, albeit one too small for our instruments to measure
.
We could also ask if God is bound by any rules: does this divine energy have levels beyond itself which culminate in a being which it also calls God or Creator (as above so below) and ad-infinitum.? Are we the creations of a being that is also the creation of something else, a part of something that is bigger than even God can imagine?? Scientists thought that when they discovered the atom that that was the final frontier, and nothing could possibly be beyond.? When we eventually become one with God, or enlightened, is that the end product or is it just the beginning of our next phase of development beyond into only that which God knows?? Is it possible that this creation and creator could be just one bean in a hill of beans?

Eastern philosophy and medicine, originating in ancient India and China, have traditionally regarded body structures and the life processes occurring within as inseparable. Their terminology resides halfway between structure and function and identifies certain entities in the human body, representing the flow of life energy and, in some sense, conduits for that flow that do not correspond to anatomical structures recognized by Western science and medicine. The chakras are the energy centers in a person?s biological field and are responsible for his or her physiological and psychological condition as well as certain groups of organs. All vital functions of the human body are determined by energy that spins in the chakras. These can be defined as ?whirlpools referred,? and in Indian, they are considered ?energy bursts? or ?wheels.?

The process of energy transformation happens exactly in these centers. Vital energy, along with blood, circulates around the meridians in the chakras and fuels all organs and systems in the human body. When the circulation in these meridians stagnates, the human body becomes susceptible to various disorders. An excellent preventative method, designed explicitly to battle such stagnation is Chi Gun, an ancient Chinese method for self-healing which activates the energy centers. Chi Gun teaches people to release the energy themselves by massaging specific areas corresponding to the different chakras.

There are 49 chakras mentioned in the Vedic Canons, seven of which are basic; 21 are in the second circle, and 21 in the third circle. According to the Vedis, there are multiple energy channels leading to different locations from the chakras. Three of these channels are basic. The first one, called ?shushumna,? is hollow and is concentrated in the spine. The other two energy pathways, ?ida? and ?pingala?, are located on either side of the spine. These two channels are the most active in most people, while ?shushumna? remains stagnant.

The seven basic chakras spin at high speeds in the body of healthy individuals but slow down in times of sickness or with advancing age. When the body is in a harmonious balance, the chakras remain partially open. Closed chakras are unable to receive energy, leading to various disorders.

The first basic chakra, ?Muladhara,? is located at the base of the spine in the tailbone area. Life energy, which is at the core of a strong and healthy immune system, is stored in this chakra. It is impossible for a person to become sick, old or even to die, before exhausting his or her reserves of this vital energy. The very will for life is controlled by Muladhara. It is also in charge of the bones and joints, the teeth, the nails, the urinogenital system and the large intestine. The first symptoms of a malfunctioning Muladhara are unreasonable fear, faintness, lack of security or faith in the future, leg and foot problems, and intestinal disorders.

The interrupted activity of the Muladhara chakra causes lack of energy, digestive problems, diseases of the bones and spine, and nervous tension among others.

The second chakra, ?Svadhistana,? is located at the level of the sacrum, three or four fingers below the belly button. This chakra regulates the pelvis, the kidneys and sexual functions. We also feel other peoples? emotions through this chakra. Symptoms of a malfunctioning ?Svadhistana? are kidney problems, cystitis and arthritis.

The third chakra, ?Manipura,? is found in the solar plexus area. This chakra is the center for storing and distributing energy produced by digestion and breathing. It is responsible for vision, the gastrointestinal system, the liver, the gall bladder, the pancreas and nervous system. Symptoms of a stagnant ?Manipura? are as follows: increased and constant worrying, as well as stomach, liver and nervous disorders.

The fourth chakra, ?Anahata,? also called the heart chakra, is located in the chest area. We generate and receive love through this chakra. It is in charge of the heart, the lungs, the bronchi, the hands and the arms. Symptoms of stagnation include depression and cardiovascular imbalances.

The fifth chakra, ?Vishudha,? is located at the throat level and is the center of analytical skills and logic. This chakra sustains the skin, organs of hearing, along with the trachea and lungs. Symptoms include a lack of emotional stability, discomfort in the cervical spine, soar throats, difficulties communicating, and esophagus and thyroid ailments.

The sixth chakra, ?Adjna,? is located between the eyebrows and is called the ?third eye.? Here is the throne for the human brain. ?Adjna? circulates energy to the head and pituitary gland and is also responsible for determining our harmonious development. If a person?s ?third eye? ceases to function properly, one might notice a decrease in intellectual ability, headaches and migraines, earaches, olfactory illnesses, and psychological disorders.

The seventh chakra, ?Sahasrara,? is found at the very top of the head and represents the apex where an individual?s energy vibrates with the highest frequency. It is considered a spiritual center and the entrance to the body for cosmic energy. A stagnant ?Sahasrara? can result in a decrease in or lack of inner wisdom, as well as a lack of basic intuition.

With this basic knowledge of the first seven chakras, we can address the question: ?How do we use this information to locate the causes of our troubles and problems, and with the help of Eastern Medicine, learn to control the functions of the chakras ourselves??.

From the perspective of Eastern Medicine, our health depends on the distribution of our energy-consciousness informational field. A shortage of energy inevitably causes ailments. According to Tibetan Medicine, the only difference between youth and old age, and between a sick and healthy individual, is the difference in the rotating speed of the whirlpool energy centers of the chakras. If these different speeds are balanced, old people will rejuvenate and sick people will heal. Therefore, the best way to preserve and keep our health, youth and vitality is to restore and maintain a balanced movement of the energy centers.

The easiest way to keep the chakras balanced is through a set of physical exercises. Yannis called these not simply exercises, but rituals. These rituals allow the human body to mold its energy centers to an ideal level of function. The seven rituals, one for each chakra, must be performed together every morning and when not possible, in the evening. Skipping rituals unbalances energy distribution, and so for the best results, no more than one day per week should be missed. The daily chakra rituals are necessary not only for revitalizing the body, but also for achieving success in every facet of life. ?Once you learn how to transform your energy, you will also become happier,? concluded Yannis.

For learning these rituals (which have transformed many peoples? lives throughout the world), seeing them in action is much more effective than trying to follow written descriptions or diagrams. A DVD, available from Helix 7, Inc. (www.FeelingOfHappiness.com), includes actual demonstrations of these rituals.

Another method of keeping the chakras balanced and in their optimal half-open state is meditation. Meditative methods are universal to the human experience; they have accumulated over the ages through many different cultures and have proven their value in attaining peace, clarity, equanimity and in transcending despair. People who meditate on a regular basis are usually calmer, more secure, more joyful and more productive human beings. They are more effective in their everyday lives because they use their mental and physical potential, abilities and skills to their fullest extent. All too often, we humans fail to realize the great latent powers which are, as yet, unawakened in our bodies. We must learn how to revive and utilize them. This can only be achieved through meditation. Eastern men of wisdom, who believed meditation to be a vital necessity, stumbled on this discovery more than 1000 years ago. They learned to influence their inner organs and control their metabolism with the power of their minds. Meditation is to the mind what exercise is to the body; mental strength can be built up just like physical strength. Just as in athletics, it is important for an individual to train his or her body, it is important for an individual to train his or her mind through meditation.

The best time for meditation is early morning, preferably at dawn. Do not meditate when you are sad, aggravated, desperate or sick, because these intense emotional and physiological distractions make an enlightened state of mind impossible. For an effective meditation session, it is preferable to arrange for the undistracted silence of a quiet, clean room with flowers, or the soothing sounds of Mother Nature - near a lake, river, waterfall, woods or fields. Many different mental practices, having their origin in historical traditions, fall under the general heading of “meditation.” These paths of mental development can involve emotional and intellectual facets and may also be coordinated with specific movements. Meditation can be structured or unstructured, Dr. Wayne W. Dyer writes in his book Real Magic, ?The process of meditation is nothing more than quietly going within and discovering that higher component of yourself ? Learning to meditate is learning how to live rather than talking about it??
