Yeshe Tsogyal (circa 757 or 777–817 CE) [1], also known as "Victorious Ocean of Knowledge," "Knowledge Lake Empress" (ཡེ་ཤེས་མཚོ་རྒྱལ), or by her Sanskrit name Jñānasāgarā "Knowledge Ocean," or her clan name "Lady Kharchen" [2], attained enlightenment in her lifetime and is considered the Mother of Tibetan Buddhism. She is the highest woman in the Nyingma Vajrayana lineage. Some sources say, as Princess of Karchen, she was either a wife or consort of the Emperor Tri Songdetsen of Tibet [3], when she began studying Vajrayana Buddhism with Padmasambhava, who became her main karmamudrā consort. Padmasambhava is a founder-figure of the Nyingma tradition of Tibetan Buddhism and is considered the second buddha of our era [4], an idea that is anathema to Theravada Buddhist accounts of what the historical Buddha taught.
(Tibetan Nuns) Esoteric Buddhism in Tibet takes from Bon shamanism (Himalayan sorcery), Hindu tantra and yoga, and Mahayana Buddhism to form a unique expression of the Dharma so far removed from the historical Buddha's doctrine (Teachings, Dharma) that one might mistake it for Vedic Hinduism with names changed from the traditional Hindu pantheon to Tibetan and Indian figures that rose to importance in history.
As above, so below. There are two stories to The Awareness Center, a Kundalini Yoga studio in Pasadena. Entering the room, participants spread out on borrowed yoga mats on the hardwood floor, most of the group was already on stage, waiting for Seven to make an entrance.
The large shamanic drum began to drone, the bowls came alive with their unique vibrations attuned to each of the chakras, and the rainstick began to pour.
Event details
The natural elements are for us, even fire.

Soothing vibrations restore balance, ease stress and strain, and bring back peace of mind. It's time for the recovery to start by resetting our own nervous systems. First, attend to the body, the mind will follow, and wholeness is in sight.

Is "Kill Bill" the greatest song of the year or a sucky piece of garbage, confection for the masses, a one-way ticket to stardom for a half-butt talent? Who knows? But we love it. It was the greatest pop hit for 2023.
What rivals it, other than Olivia Rodrigo's brilliant Guts? Better than Beyonce, greater than Taylor, it's all about crazy love and deadly about that feeling of being jilted. Whatcha gonna do? Blame it on Cupid. Blame the stars. Say there's something wrong with GOD's plan,
Hello, my name is Eros. I'm here to destroy you.
"GOD" (not to be confused with God or the gods, Maha Brahma and the devas) being the perfect arrangement of the reality behind the illusion known as Brahman in India. It's a killer track.
Who knows how SZA came up with it or who wrote it for it. Was it, as one TikTok suggests, her unconsciously remembering the killer guitar duo in Avenged Sevenfold's "Bat Country"? It sure sounds like it. Who owns a melody? Ask your friends. They'll all tell you the same thing: "Don't hate the Player. Hate the Game." What is a Dater to do?

This amazing experience features a Soundbath and Pranic Lifeforce Healing. Sound Healings are acoustic attunements, where laying down to relax the body, the body's natural healing systems are activated and the subconscious mind is cleared.
Prana Lifeforce Healing comes from Ayurveda. It uses our prana or "lifeforce" to heal bodily and mental imbalances.
Ayurvedic practitioners (prana-acharyas) guide our chi or lifeforce by holding palms a few inches over affected areas. This is an option with the soundbath everyone will experience.
There are ancients and immortals among us.
Bring a pillow or blanket to be as relaxed as possible in mind and body. Allow vibrations from instruments wash through and over and under the body to release and let go of anything that is no longer serving this life.
Instruments used include tuned crystal bowls, Tibetan singing bowls, a gong, and others. Leave feeling refreshed, renewed, and rejuvenated along with such benefits as:
relief of anxiety and stress
release of blocked emotions
reduced blood pressure
decreased depression
heightened clarity
deeper meditation
increased immune cell activity
relief of physical pain
release of emotional traumas

Hacking enlightenment: can ultrasound help us transcend [delusion to reach] reality?
(The Guardian) ARIZONA, USA - Can technology improve the way we meditate? At the University of Arizona, Dr. Jay Sanguinetti and Jewish-American Zen meditation master Shinzen Young are using ultrasound to find out.
They want to improve our ability to achieve mindfulness [being present and accepting the present moment without reacting with clinging to the pleasant, aversion to the unpleasant, or boredom with the neutral] -- as well as enhance our cognition and wellbeing. They believe it could revolutionize the way we treat those with depression and trauma. But as investors from Silicon Valley become interested in the technology, the pair are fighting to make sure the device is used in the right way and for the right reasons.
(Sounds True) Introduced by Tami Simon. Thay (Thich Nhat Hanh) offers practical teachings on how to bring love and mindful awareness into daily life. Kind, purposeful, and illuminating, here is a treasure of traditional teachings to unify meditation practice and life challenges (artofmindfulliving).
Letting go of our cages gives us freedom.
"Mindfulness is the opposite of forgetfulness." Come into the present with the breath. Awareness is enlightenment. These are simple teachings from Vietnamese Zen Master Thay.
Nobel Peace Prize Laureate Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had a great friend in this Zen Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh -- "Thay" as he is lovingly called at Deer Park Monastery in Southern California.
MLK Jr. nominated Thay for the same honor. They were unified by peace turning their back on war and any government that promotes aggression, which is condemned by both religions, activist Christianity and Engaged Buddhism. What is Thay's style of Zen and practice? Vegan snacks. FREE/by donation. RSVP:
This soundtrack cleanses the aura and space around us and removes all negative energy. It is 30 minutes of powerful Tibetan healing meditation music: calming music, peaceful music, relaxing music.

Our goal is to help people relax and meditate, to give rest from a somatically tense way of life that leads to harmony with oneself and nature. Namaste.
Video Advice, 10/4/19; Nikola Tesla; Dr. Royal Rife; Dr. Clark; TEXT: Editors, Wisdom Quarterly (Video Advice) Genius Nikola Tesla was right! "We've found the magic frequency" [to cure]!
We've found the magic frequency (This will revolutionize our future! Or it would except that the pharmaceutical companies known as "Big Pharma" and corruptible government officials and health industry regulators who accept financial "contributions," that is, bribes, will not allow any kind of technology to supersede allopathic drugs and enzyme-disrupting poisons, potions, and sorcery, in the biblical sense of potion-making, to take away their "bread and butter," that is, their means of making profits.
The government and AMA, FDA, ADA...stepped right in to stop it. The idea is simple: Learn the frequency of a harmful microbe, and put the opposing frequency into the body. The harmful, parasitic, protozoan "worms" will self-destruct, the body will go through a cleansing crisis, and the individual will be well and healed, cured of disease, easily.
Dr. Rife was destroyed by health care industry.
All physical ailments, however they begin -- psychologically, spiritually, by infection, or however else then attract these parasites. The parasites themselves alone are NOT the cause of disease, but rather it is a weakness -- an immunity issue -- that the parasites then exploit and take advantage of, stealing energy and resources from the host, making it sickly and hoping to only debilitate it not kill it, as that would end their parasitism.

[In mysticism and metaphysics, coherence can be defined as the presence of peace, grace, ease, and also acceptance, appreciation, allowing (versus resistance) or, to employ a concept found in Buddhism, "pure pervasive kindness toward everything" or "friendliness toward everyone," which engenders harmony and synchrony.]

Monthly Sound Meditations with McEwen
Can vibrations induce meditative states of serenity (samatha) and coherence (samadhi)?
.
Joanna McEwen trained with The College of Sound Healing, British Academy of Sound Therapy, and Don "The Gong" Conreaux. Her journey with sound began as a teenager when she would soothe her teenage angst with the baroque rhythms of Pachabel’s Cannon. While DJ-ing in her 20s she saw the power of music to move and shift people’s emotions and energies, and it was at this time she first came across the research of Fabian Maman on the ability of sound frequencies to explode cancer cells [similar to the banned-for-working Royal Rife (rife.org) and Hulda Regehr Clarkcures]. This led her to explore sound therapy with James D’Angelo...First Sunday of the month (Dec. 3, 2017), 7:30-8:30 pm at Unity Studios, 130a Lewes Rd, Brighton, BN2 3LG. More
