Why sex should be treated as a spiritual practice.

Mention the word sex and eyes widen and ears perk up. The strong reaction the subject arouses reflects the spicy nature of sexual energy. We may be at the gym feeling tired and depleted, but if someone we find attractive starts working out next to us, our energy level is suddenly boosted. That energetic intensification represents the activation of our Lower Dantian (energy center below the navel), which holds our sexual energy in reserve.

Pure sexual energy is as unstable as dynamite and just as explosive. It can transport us to sublime states of bliss and delight, or cast us into the darkest pits of anguish, terror, and depravity. The volatile and wild nature of sexual energy convinced some religious traditions to view it as an impediment to spiritual development, and to some degree this belief still continues to perpetuate in the popular imagination because of the confusion, heartache, and pain that sexual intimacy can cause.

To demonstrate this, rank the following three words from the most to the least spiritual: wisdom, love, sex. If we took a poll, the top position might be a tossup between wisdom and love, but without a doubt sex would rank last on the list. No one questions the connection between spirituality and love or spirituality and wisdom. But the link between spirituality and sexuality is a harder sell.

From the Qigong perspective, however, the notion that sexuality and spirituality are antithetical is misguided, because sexual energy forms one of the cornerstones of happiness. If we ever hope to secure long-lasting happiness in a loving relationship, we must heal our socially conditioned distortions about sexuality. We must erase the invisible line we draw with our minds around our beltlines, above which lies the greater part of human nature and below which lies the lesser. In essence, we must spiritualize sex.

But how do we redeem sexuality and elevate it to the spiritual status it deserves? How do we reconcile the square of sex with the circle of spirit when sexual pleasure is often responsible for so much shame, trauma, and pain? One place to begin searching for an answer to these questions lies in identifying the fundamental, seemingly irreconcilable differences between male and female sexuality. Those differences swiftly become apparent in the bedroom.

Stereotypically, male sexual energy flares up and is exhausted quickly, like a match, while female sexual energy boils slowly and remains hot for a long time, like a pot of boiling water. These different tempos are a source of shame for men who climax too fast and frustration for women who may not climax at all. This problem is then compounded by the notorious fact that when male sexual energy is activated men often become emotionally unavailable, and the other notorious fact that the female sexual experience is often laden with sentimentalism that men normally can’t relate to.

Obviously, we can’t alter our sexual instincts. What we can do, however, is use spiritual practice to overcome the limitations imposed by nature on our sexuality. In fact, we can transform the inherent mismatch between male and female sexuality into an incredible opportunity for spiritual growth.

Let’s begin by considering the way Qigong can help a man harness his sexual energy. When male sexual energy is aroused, it intensifies locally around the genitals and quickly flows out of the body. That is the natural pattern of male sexual energy. But men can learn to reverse that flow and direct their sexual essence upward, toward the Middle Dantian (energy center at located at the heart level). By doing so, a man accomplishes two goals. First, he diminishes the urge to ejaculate, and second, as sexual energy rises to his heart, passion blends with love and tenderness. A man who masters this skill is able to prolong intercourse indefinitely and deepen his emotional connection during lovemaking.

When female sexual energy is aroused, it naturally flows inward and upward from the genitals toward the heart. Stimulation of the breasts further activates the Middle Dantian (energy center at located at the heart level) and reinforces an emotional response. Unlike men, women don’t need to practice Qigong to integrate their sexual vitality with their love. These qualities mingle naturally, and in this respect, female sexuality is inherently more integrated.

But through spiritual practice both women and men can learn to integrate their sexual energy to even higher levels. Sexual vitality can be directed upward from the heart to the top of the head, where it becomes infused with the blissful quality of sacredness. And from there, sexual vitality can be circulated through the Central Meridian Meridian (the energy channel that unifies the three main energy centers — the Dantians) into the sky, where it is experienced as heavenly ecstasy.

Sexuality that centers on the genitals and the Lower Dantian (energy center below the navel) corresponds to passionate sex. Sexuality that integrates the sexual vitality of the Lower Dantian with the heart-centered energy of the Middle Dantian corresponds to intense lovemaking. Sexuality that integrates all three dantians corresponds to blissful sacred love. And sexuality that integrates the all three dantians and the Central Meridian corresponds to cosmic ecstasy.

Cosmic ecstasy is vastly more intense, pleasurable, and meaningful than even the most passionate sex. Comparing the two is like contrasting a bathtub with the ocean.

There is no surer way to bring long-lasting happiness into an intimate relationship than to ground it in enduring bliss.

Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine fraud

Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine fraud. Notes by Kat Sims-Rogge.

This is so scary, please read until the end…it’s so important that we know the truth.

HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS VACCINE FRAUD

By Dr. James Howenstine, MD.
November 3, 2008

For several years the pharmaceutical firm has made aggressive efforts to market the Gardasil human papilloma virus vaccine as a prevention for cervical cancer. The governor of the state of Texas made the administration of this vaccine to young girls mandatory.

What is the truth about this vaccine?

Natural News reporter Mike Adams has uncovered some interesting facts about this vaccine. The FDA has been aware since 2003 that Human Papillloma Virus [1] does not cause cervical cancer. The Gardasil vaccine is unable to eradicate HPV virus from women who have been exposed to HPV(nearly all sexually active women). This makes vaccinating all young women in Texas against HPV virus a very questionable decision.

To make matters even worse it has now been learned that vaccinating women with Gardasil may actually increase the risk that those women harboring a benign cervical HPV viral infection have a 44.6 percent increased risk of having their benign HPV infection converted into a precancerous state by the HPV vaccine administration. Thus women vaccinated with Gardasil not only receive no benefit those who were sexually active before the vaccine administration have become at increased risk for developing cervical cancer.

To summarize some of the facts about HPV and this vaccine:

• HPV vaccine increases the risk of developing a precancerous cervical lesion by 44.6% in women .previously infected with a HPV viral type found in the vaccine.
• HPV virus does not cause cervical cancer.
• HPV viral infections are self limiting and are not a health threat to healthy females.
• This valuable information about the etiology of HPV viral infections has been suppressed from public knowledge.
• Allowing untruths about Gardasil to be disseminated in public hearings and planting fear have been used to promote sales of this worthless vaccine.

The Evidence for the Gardasil Fraud

HiFi DNA Tech was involved in manufacturing a portable device for testing for HPV viral infection. This company, to improve sales, needed to have their product reclassified as Class II instead of Class III because Class III category products are not able to be sold to the public whereas Class II products can be sold to the public because they are deemed safe enough for public release.

For 20 years the FDA had classified the HPV test as a test for cervical cancer. In 2003 the FDA changed its position advising that HPV virus was not associated with cervical cancer. On Oct12, 2007 HiFi DNA Tech sued the FDA to get their testing device reclassified as Class II based on the knowledge that cervical cancer was not caused by HPV infection .and therefore did not need to be restricted from public sales. The fact that the FDA had already acknowledged in a policy statement on March 31, 2003 that “most infections by HPV are shortlived and not associated with cervical cancer. Most women who become infected with HPV are able to eradicate the virus and suffer no apparent long term consequences to their health.” It is not the HPV virus itself that causes cervical cancer but rather a persistent state of ill health on the part of the patient that makes her vulnerable to cervical cancer. Repeated transient HPV infections even when caused by high risk types of HPVs are characteristically not associated with an increased risk of developing squamous intraepithelial lesions, the precursor lesion of cervical cancer.

This was not revealed when the public hearings over the need for mandatory HPV vaccinations was pushed by manufacturer of Gardasil. The FDA had known for many years that HPV was unrelated to cervical cancer but to have this knowledge disseminated during the hearings would have instantly made the HPV vaccine worthless.

The main push from the drug company has been that we “must save these young girls from losing their lives to cervical cancers.” The FDA knew when these hearings were held that this argument was phony but said nothing.!!!

Does the HPV Vaccine Actually Increase the Risk of Cervical Cancer?

Gardasil vaccine actually increases the risk for a sexually active woman to develop cervical cancer (nearly all sexually active women have been exposed to HPV virus). Women who have already been exposed to HPV from sexual activity and have positive serologies for HPV viral types found in the HPV vaccine have a 44.6% increased risk [2] for developing high grade precancerous cervical lesions after they have received Gardasil vaccine injections. This means that young women carrying a harmless form of HPV viral infection often get converted after HPV vaccine, into a more dangerous precancerous cervical condition. that can lead to cervical cancer.

These patients were made worse by exposure to a vaccine that contained a virus that had already infected them. Thus this evidence reveals that Gardasil increases disease in 44.6 % of patients who already been exposed to the same serotype found in the vaccine. This strongly suggests that sexually active women can become more likely to develop cervical cancer after taking Gardasil vaccine.

This information puts the state of Texas in the position where theoretically the Gardasil should be given only to young females who are virgins (sexually active females have existing HPV infections that may become more dangerous if given the vaccine). Questioning these young women about sexual activity may lead to sexually active girls denying sexual activity in the presence of parents or physician thus leading to HPV viral administration to a female with previous HPV infection who does have an increased risk of developing pre-invasive cervical lesions because of exposure to the vaccine. Thus females denying sexual activity will have an increased risk of getting pre-cancerous cervical lesions which can lead to cervical cancer.

To make this situation even worse the health officials that will be involved in screening candidates for HPV vaccine are heavily involved in promoting vaccine administration (They almost certainly have no idea the vaccine is worthless and capable of causing precancerous cervical lesions). Therefore the truth about the danger of cervical cancer resulting from the vaccine given to sexually active girls will not be given to these young women. This will probably cause an unnecessary increase in cervical cancer.

The FDA Is A Badly Flawed Agency

The FDA is administered by 12 officials. Three of these 12 persons are automatic appointments given to the pharmaceutical industry. If there ever was a situation where the fox is in charge of the chicken house this is it. It is common knowledge among these 9 selected officials that if they play ball with the drug industry they will be moved up to high paying positions with drug companies for their final working years. Very few appointed officials will have the character, with these temptations placed in front of them, .to make honest decisions. One can be certain that no one who had a healthy skepticism about the pharmaceutical industry would ever get appointed to the FDA.

It needs to be understood by the general public that the FDA is an effective arm of the pharmaceutical industry and has nothing at all to do with public health. Anyone who doubts this statement need only look at the record of scams condoned by the FDA:

1 – The original director of the FDA, Dr.Harvey W. Wiley, resigned in disgust when he realized in 1912 that pressure from the food and pharmaceutical industries was preventing him from abolishing nutritionally worthless white flour.

2 – Flouride was added to the water in both Germany under Adolf Hitler and Russia under Josef Stalin to keep the populace “dumbed down and easy to control.” There is scientific evidence that fluoride actually increases cavity formation [3] so the cover story about the virtue of fluoride decreasing cavity formation is fraud. Most US cities place fluoride in their water and this does increase the incidence of cancer by 10% when compared to cities not using fluoride in their water. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has classified fluoride as more toxic than lead but less toxic than arsenic. U.S. Congressmen placed spring water in their offices when faced with the danger they might be forced to drink fluoride containing water.

3 – Aspartame excites and kills neurons along with causing seizures.. This toxic substance is now found in most packaged foods and beverages. Aspartame causes neurologic symptoms that mimic Multiple Sclerosis and brain tumors. These symptoms disappear when aspartame intake ceases. FDA approval for this dangerous substance was obtained despite some serious health concerns. by responsible health oriented experts.

4 – Monosodium glutamate MSG (Accent) is an excitogen that increases the appetite leading to repeat food sales and weight gain. This substance is added to a multitude of foods with no labeling. MSG causes Chinese Restaurant Syndrome, mimics neurologic diseases (M.S.,. A,L.S., Parkinson’s Disease, headaches, and seizures), hypoglycemia, learning disorders, hyperactivity, and Attention Deficit Disorder

5 – Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizer has made North American soil the poorest of all the seven continents. Poor quality foods grown from these depleted soils obviously damage the health and mental capability of the unfortunate citizens living in North America. This fertilizer was approved over strenuous objections by knowledgeable academic agricultural experts. Much US soil no longer contains the critical element selenium(cancer risk increases, infections spread).

6 – Genetically modified food has never before been consumed by humans. World famous geneticist Dr. Mae-Wan Ho states that “insertion of foreign genes into the human gene pool has long been known to have many harmful effects including cancer in the recipient organism” The results of safety testing on GMO foods have never been released to authorities and the FDA does not require GMO foods to be labeled so the public is unable to avoid eating these dangerous foods..

7 – Salk polio vaccine was given to 10,000,000 persons even though FDA leaders knew that the vaccine contained Simian Virus 40 and other dangerous viruses which can cause leukemia, lymphoma, HIV and other significant health problems. Sloppy animal isolation techniques .were the probable cause for this problem. The whistle blower was admonished for discovering this important contamination because “it was beyond the scope of her job description.”

8 – Federally mandated nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium fertilizer has resulted in making North American soil the most depleted soil of the 7 continents tested. The critical elements selenium and sulfur are now missing from large amounts of U.S. soil.

9 – Codex Alimentaris, now implemented in parts of Europe (Norway, Germany), will probably soon become law in the USA. This will change valuable nutrients like vitamin C, alpha lipoic acid, and CoQ 10 into drugs requiring prescriptions which will raise the cost of these valuable substances. This impending lack of less expensive supplements will damage the health of the American people. Supplement makers may be forced to sell .their companies to take it or leave it type pharmaceutical company offers.

10 – Vaccines cause major health problems(autism, 4000 deaths in children admitted in the first year of Hepatitis B vaccine{only 10 % of adverse reactions get reported. etc.}. Pharmaceutical firms have been exempted from lawsuits by Congress for vaccine damages which are common.

Health problems created by a malfunctioning FDA are wonderful for the pharmaceutical industry because they increase the sale of drugs.

The drug company involved in the sale of Gardasil is caught in a torrent of lawsuits caused by the failure to warn the public that a widely used arthritis drug they had marketed was known to commonly cause deaths from heart attacks. This company has a sordid history of price fixing, tax avoidance, biopiracy, collusion with the FDA on how to discredit critics, purchasing negative evidence for its drugs and other activities that could be considered criminal in nature. Their product Gardasil should obviously never be given to any woman.

Sustainable Green Buildings – Earthship Biotecture

Earthships are something very close to my heart. I have been passionately researching Earthships and passing on that information to anyone who would listen for years now. I think that if we all just told a few friends and they told a few friends, that we could seriously change the world! If we designed our homes this way and fed our families with food grown right there inside our home year round… How happy could life be? I mean, living in a living home! In my opinion there are 2 things that have the biggest impact on our health and they are equally important. Those 2 things are your belief systems (programs) and your fuel (food intake). What better way to be sure your food is chemical & GMO free. Pineapples, bananas, grapes, almost anything your heart desires and any where you wanna live. Now thats the ONLY way to go! 🙂 ENJOY AND PASS IT ON!!!!

Honey and cinnamon cures – do they really work? Here’s what you need to know

So excited to share articles on holistic health!

Honey and cinnamon cures – do they really work? Here’s what you need to know.
(NaturalNews) Hopeful newcomers to holistic health marvel at reports about honey and cinnamon as a miracle cure-all. On the other hand, alternative health skeptics scoff at the notion of cinnamon and honey as medicine, pointing out that the plethora of articles about the curative benefits of this food duo originated with a 1995 article in the tabloid newspaper Weekly World News. The truth is that cinnamon and honey have been used to promote health for centuries, but their efficacy depends largely on a lifestyle of energetic activity and whole foods.
