ZEN MEDITATION - THREE MINDS

ZEN MEDITATION – THREE MINDS
Hello divine people m posting a beautiful meditation techniques used by Zen ,this simple technique can do great change in ourselves, like seven chakra Zen uses three main points for consciousness.. called Tan tien point... if our consciousness goes towards this point then healing happens automatically.

Three Minds In-to One
The Three Minds correspond to the Three Tan Tiens or major energy centers within the body. They can store, transform and supply energy to and from each other, the spinal cord, sexual organs and other major organs. The Upper Tan Tien is located within the Upper Brain, the Middle Tan Tien is located in the heart and the Lower Tan Tien in the abdomen.

If the Upper Brain generates too much energy, it can subsequently transfer and store it in the organs; heart, lungs, liver, spleen, stomach, pancreas and kidneys). Excess sexual energy can also be stored in the organs and the Three Tan Tiens. The Taoists, understanding these principles, learn to generate, refine and store continually increasing amounts of energy within the body. As these energies multiply, it becomes necessary to practice growing the virtuous energy which provides for true alchemy, exchange with heaven, earth and universal energies and all those whom we share our lives with.

By storing Chi within the body and not emptying oneself outward, there is no subsequent drainage of energy. Sitting and emptying the mind is good, but very little energy is actually generated. The Taoist turns the self inwards to the universe within, the microcosmic reflection of the macrocosm without.

With the simple practice of smiling to all the organs, we can integrate our bodies, minds and spirits. They are no longer separate. The goal of the Three Minds is to combine the faculties of observation, consciousness and awareness and connect them with the forces from the six directions - above, below, left, right, front and back, drawing and fusing a sublimation of all of these external energies into the body. Eventually, with practice one can draw upon many different energies and use them as needed, thereby giving form to the formless energy that is abundant in Nature.
By combining Three Minds into One, one is able to use minimum effort to achieve maximum effect.

Three Tan Tiens
In the Tao practice; we store energy in the Three Tan Tiens. The Three Tan Tiens correspond to the Three Minds, Upper, Middle and Lower.
The Upper Tan Tien is in the Upper Brain (the crystal room, third ventrical).
When it is full of energy, the capacity of the brain increases. It is the Upper Mind and is associated with observation. We store our spiritual intelligence, the mind here. All the Tan Tiens have both yin and yang within them. In nature, the yin and yang are present in all things.
Day (yang) turns into the sunset, which turns to night (yin). It is very important to feel the qualities of yin within yang and yang with yin (sunrise/sunset). One quality does not exist without the other. They are inseparable qualities of the same force.

The Heart Center between the two nipples, is the Middle Tan Tien. It is the Middle Mind and is associated with consciousness. The heart is associated with fire and is the site of original spirit (Shen).

The abdominal region surrounding the navel is like an empty universe, or ocean. It is the Lower Tan Tien. It contains the Lower Mind and is associated with feeling and awareness. Within this universe or ocean, there is a fire, like a volcano under the ocean; ‘fire under water’.
The Three Tan Tiens refer to the three reservoirs and sources of energy within the body. The meridians are rivers of energy fed by these reservoirs. The goal of opening the Three Tan Tiens is to continually fill and replenish the energy that is consumed and exchanged by the Three Minds and the rest of the body.

When you are not using the Upper Brain sink it down into the Lower one.

Tan Tien Consciousness: Second Brain

We have used terms like Upper Mind or Observation Mind, Feeling and Awareness Mind or Middle Mind. In addition to its importance as the control center for the mechanics of the physical structure of the body, the Lower Tan Tien also houses a treasure of even more far-reaching significance; it is the site of our Second Brain.

Most of us who have had Taoist training in Chi Kung, Tai Chi, various Chi meditations or healing practices have often heard the reminder, ‘Be aware of your Tan Tien.’

Being aware of your Tan Tien can be seen as being a way to train consciousness and awareness, like educating the brain in the abdominal area.

2. Cross-section of the neurons in the Large Intestine
You can rest, relax the brain in the head by using the ‘brain in the gut.’ This is the first step. Learn to forgive and let go. When we keep on remembering past negative emotions, we stop seeing the truth. To let go of the past is to empty the mind and use the abdominal mind, the awareness and consciousness mind. In the way of the Tao, the gut brain can do a lot of simple functions that are similar to the functions of the brain in the head.

This is a feeling and awareness type of functioning similar to many of our ‘right brain’ functions.

However, we need to use the brain in the head in order to perform complex functions such as reasoning, making plans and making complex calculations. For rational functions, we need to use the brain in the head for the ‘left brain’ functions. Such functions can be simplified and enhanced when we learn to combine the 'Three Minds Into One', and use them together as a unit.

For our daily life of consciousness, awareness and feeling, we can use either the brain in the gut or the brain in the head. When we use the Upper Brain less, it will become charged with more energy and its power will be increased. More power will be available to the body. That is why we say in Taoism, that we have to train the brain in the gut, so that we can use it when the brain in the head is resting. When the head brain is resting, it can be recharged: brain repair and maintenance occurs. It will also be able to grow new brain cells. With more energy we have more power for creativity. If we like, we can use this energy to develop our higher spiritual nature.

Whenever you smile down, the brain waves go lower and lower very quickly and the transformed energy from the Tan Tien and organs charges up the brain in the head. Just by flexing the facial muscles with a genuine smile, we can affect the Upper and Lower Brains, nervous system and the rest of the body.

We can actually make ourselves relaxed and happy by taking advantage of this built-in human mechanism. It’s natural. Just do it! Learning to smile down to the abdominal area and maintain the awareness of the relaxed, smiling sensation in the Tan Tien is the first step in training the Second Brain. Pure awareness and consciousness can change attitudes and emotions carried in the DNA.

Practice
Number 1: “Empty your mind down to the Lower Tan Tien, and fill the Tan Tien with Chi.” An axiom in the Tao is, where the mind goes the Chi follows.
Number 2: “When your mind is empty, it will be filled.” This means that when the organs have extra energy, the extra organ energy will rise up and fill the brain with Chi.

Medical science has also discovered the consciousness in the heart. They found that the heart can record a whole event, and it has its own brain, the Third Brain. Dr. Paul Pearsall has written a new book, called The Heart’s Code 3.They have found that people who have a heart transplant can actually experience the emotions of the donor.

One of the published cases is that of a girl who was brutally killed. The police didn’t know who had killed her. Her heart was subsequently transplanted into another girl. The recipient of this transplant started to get nightmares and described somebody killing her. She described the killer’s physical appearance. Finally, the mother took the girl to a psychiatrist, who then contacted the police. The girl gave the police an exact description of the 'man from her nightmares' and a police artist drew a reconstruction of the killer. With this new information the police were able to go and arrest the man.

Afterwards, when confronted with clear details of the crime, the man confessed that he was indeed guilty of this crime. So, from that experience, medical science came to realize that the heart can record all of an event and remember it.

3. Practice - Three Minds Into One
Smile down to the inner universe. Activate the heart's consciousness and empty the mind and heart down to the Lower Tan Tien, the Abdominal Brain. Gather the ‘Yi’ (mind-eye-heart power), combining Three Minds into One. Fill the Tan Tien with this Chi. Start to spiral the energy. You are then ready to connect to the higher forces of Universal and Heavenly Chi. The Three Minds are the Upper, Middle and Lower, or Three Tan Tiens.

1. Smile to the Inner Universe
Place your palms together in salutation, in front of your heart. Feel the Laogong points in your hands connect, creating an energy loop running from your heart through your arms and hands and back again.
Activate the heart’s compassion
Laogong Point (pericardium 8)

2. Activate the Heart's Compassion Energy
Smile to the heart and feel it softening. Feel love, joy, compassion and happiness. Smile down and empty the mind to the Lower Tan Tien, the Abdominal Brain. Fill the Tan Tien with Chi and start to spiral the energy.
When the abdomen is warm, it is full of Chi. The Chi can then charge up to the Upper Brain.

3. Combine the Three Minds into One
1. Lower the Upper Mind (observation mind) down to the Lower Tan Tien.
2. Lower the Middle Mind (consciousness mind) down to Lower Tan Tien.
3. Combine Three Minds Into One Mind at the Lower Tan Tien (the Yi).
4. Manifest your intent out at the mid-eyebrow.

Remember - what you send out, you will in some way, receive back. It may not always be what you expected but it will always be for your greater good. In the Tao we also learn to cease expectations and that there are no promises or guarantees.

UNDERSTANDING THE SELF

Soul Sign:- Soul is essentially unconditional love, the energy that connects all things and all beings in the Oneness of life.

Reflection:- An enemy mentality blocks soul and destroys connection. Many people think that enemies really exist and do not believe that we humans are all brothers and sisters, or even more than that, that we are one another... that other people are just aspects of ourselves. When you have an enemy mentality you either focus on destroying the enemy or try to defend yourself against the enemy. If you do this you then live in fear which is self destructive. When you have an enemy mentality you cannot fulfill your purpose for your life. You will act against your own purpose, thus diminishing yourself.

What can you do today to be more accepting of others without diminishing yourself?

Institute of Health Sciences, 819 N. L.L.C. Charles StreetBaltimore , MD 1201.

Just cut 2-3 thin slices of lemon and put it in a cup containing driking water. The water will become "alkaline water". Drink for the whole day, just by adding more water. Take it as drinking water everyday. It is good for health.

This is the latest in medicine, effective for cancer!

Read carefully & you be the judge.

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells. It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy Why do we not know about that? Because there are laboratories interested in making a synthetic version that will bring them huge profits.

You can now help a friend in need by letting him/her know that lemon juice is beneficial in preventing the disease. Its taste is pleasant and it does not produce the horrific effects of chemotherapy. How many people will die while this closely guarded secret is kept, so as not to jeopardize the beneficial multimillionaires largecorporations?

As you know, the lemon tree is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. You can eat the fruit in different ways: you can eat the pulp, juice press, prepare drinks, sorbets, pastries, etc... It is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting isthe effect it produces on cysts and tumors.

This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types. Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer . It is considered also as ananti microbialspectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure which is too high and anantidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders. The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that It destroys the malignant cells in 12 cancers including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas

The compounds of this tree showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells. And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract only destroys malignant cancer cells and it does not affect healthy cells.

Mental Health & Causes of Imbalances

Mental Health & Causes Of Imbalances

A questionnaire prepared by Dr. William C Menninger – President of the Menninger Foundation, Topeka, Kansas. U.S.A.

Mental health is not just absence of psychological diseases but the balanced development of an individual’s personality and emotional attitudes, which enable him to live harmoniously with his fellow beings. A mentally healthy person is able to maintain stability of mind in the midst of adverse conditions.

1. Are you always worrying?
2. Are you unable to concentrate because of unrecognised reasons?
3. Are you continually unhappy without justified cause?
4. Do you lose your temper easily and often?
5. Do you have wide fluctuations in your mood? From depression to elation, back to depression, which incapacitate you? 6. Are you troubled by regular insomnia?
7. Do you continually dislike being with people?
8. Are you upset if the routine of your life is disturbed?
9. Do your children consistently get on your nerves?
10. Are you browned off and constantly bitter?
11. Are you afraid without real cause?
12. Are you always right and the other person always wrong?
13. Do you have numerous aches and pains for which no doctor can find a physical cause?

The conditions charted above are the major warning signals of poor mental health and severe imbalance, which could be termed as a mental dis-ease in one degree or another. It is an indicator that the person is definitely in need of help. The primary action to reverse the above situations is:

• To realize one’s mistakes and make a firm decision to take corrective steps.
• To understand the fundamental truths of life. On this basis one’s belief system also becomes positive.
• To make sincere and tireless efforts until the objectives of one’s life are achieved. • To fulfill the social and family responsibilities like a trustee and, at the same time, to remain free from unhealthy habits.

Natural and Energy Therapeutics like Quantum Touch, Craniosacral and Reiki can effectively rebalance the mental health of any person without medication; just by regulating the natural energy flow as and when required with convenience it calms the mind and bringing total relaxation and stress release. One is filled with a sensation of peace, vitality & joy resulting in mental balance of each individual in a personal way. Natural Therapies are not intended to replace orthodox medicine, but always compliments it. But in situations where medicines fail to produce the desired results, natural remedies at times work miracles. Its time people make their choices and preferences openly.

Reiki's Role in Natural Healing

REIKI’s role in NATURAL HEALING

The philosophical roots of Natural Healing dates back to thousands of years. Drawing from the healing wisdom of many cultures including Indian (Ayurveda), Chinese (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Native American, and Greek (Hippocratic), natural medicine is a medical system based on six time-based principles:

a)    The Healing power of nature: The body has considerable power to heal itself, and the role of the healer is to facilitate this natural process with the aid of natural, nontoxic therapies.

b)    Treat the cause rather the effect: Natural healers and physicians seek the underlying cause of disease rather than simply suppressing the symptoms. They avoid the natural healing wisdom of the body, such as fever and inflammation. Symptoms are viewed as expressions of the body’s natural attempt to heal while the causes can spring from the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual levels.

c)    Cause no harm: By employing safe and effective natural therapies, natural healers are committed to the principle of causing no harm to the patient.

d)    Treat the whole person: The individual is viewed as a whole, composed of complex interaction of physical, mental/emotional, and spiritual, social, environmental and other factors. This approach results in a therapeutic approach in which no disease is automatically seen as incurable.

e)    The physician is the teacher: Natural and spiritual healers are first and foremost teachers who educate, empower and motivate the patient to assume more personal responsibility for his or her health by adopting a healthy attitude, lifestyle and diet.

f)    Prevention is the best cure: Natural healing physicians are preventive medicine specialists. Prevention of disease is accomplished through education and a lifestyle that supports health.

In the natural system of medicine, disease is seen as a manifestation of the natural causes by which the body heals itself. For example, fever and inflammation are viewed as the body’s way of dealing with an imbalance that is undermining the healthy functioning of the body. However, if the cause of the imbalance is not removed, the inflammatory responses will continue, either at a lower level of intensity or intermittently. This can be the origin of chronic disease. Healing a chronic disease required removal of the underlying cause. This usually culminates in a return of an acute episode, called healing crises or reaction, a keynote of natural medical theory. Following this the condition improves.

The natural healer/physician emphasizes therapeutic choice based on individual interest and experience and maintains a consistent philosophy. All have been trained in the basic tools of natural therapeutics, and most work with diet and nutrition while specializing in one or more other therapeutic methods.

Natural medicine can be applied in any health care situation, but its strongest area is in the treatment of chronic and degenerative disease. For severe, acute traumas such as serious automobile accident, emergencies in childbirth, or orthopedic problems requiring corrective surgery, this is not recommended, although it can contribute to such cases, especially in recovery process.

In other acute cases, such as ear infections and common illnesses with fever, these are assessed and the underlying causes such as diet, life stresses and occupational hazards are considered before prescribing a few means to deal with the problem.

On the other hand in chronic cases, the procedure is different. A thorough case history has to be taken an all the symptoms and complaints with his lifestyle is to be considered for final evaluation and if necessary laboratory tests may be done to determine the central problem. As an example, many symptoms can be tied to the effects of toxemia on the different systems of the body such as the immune system, nervous system or circulatory system. While others diseases or illnesses may be due to emotional factors, such as chronic urinary infection when there is history of sexual abuse.

What ever the diagnoses may be, it is handled in the most appropriate natural way with the aim of bringing relief and cure to the effected patient.
