Quote of the Week

What is old age? Old is shallow breath. People who take deep breath never feel old. They can be old, but they never feel old, technically speaking. Is your breath of life conscious and deep? You can absolutely not be old in energy.

Simran: The Flow of the Meditative Mind

Yogic science says that there are specific lengths of time needed for certain desired effects during meditation. Most meditations are done for 11 or 31 minutes.

3 minutes of meditation affect the electromagnetic field, the circulation and stability of blood.

11 minutes of meditation begins to change the nerves and the glandular system.

22 minutes of meditation balances the three minds, and they begin to work together.

31 minutes of meditation allows the glands, breath, and concentration to affect all the cells and rhythms of the body. It lets the psyche of the meditation affect the 3 gunas, all the 31 tattvas, and all the layers of the mind's projections.

62 minutes changes the gray matter in the brain. The subconscious "shadow mind" and the outer projections are integrated.

2½ hours changes the psyche in its co-relation with the surrounding magnetic field so that the subconscious mind is held firmly in the new pattern by the surrounding universal mind.

Sat Nam,

I just returned from another inspiring visit at the Guru Ram Das Ashram in Española. While I was there, I visited my mother, attended the early morning group sadhana, and a vegetarian potluck Thanksgiving dinner with my spiritual family. I did White Tantric Yoga with my partner, Adelaide, this was her first time. On Tantric day, just before the meditations started, I began to feel butterflies in my stomach. Luckily, at the Thanksgiving potluck a couple of days prior, someone told me that this was a very sweet and easy Tantric. With that in mind, I wasn't worried about having to hold my arms up for 62 minutes or having to do some other really strenuous kriya. In the end, White Tantric Yoga turned out to be very sweet and very profound, as was my entire stay in Española.

Thank you for being a part of our 3HO family.
