5 ESSENTIALS FOR LIFE
When mind/body/spirit are out of balance we become ill ...
dis-eased. How can we rebalance our energy and live
life to the full ? The ability to really relax is of utmost
importance in our quest for health as when we are calm
and relaxed we are free from stress. It then becomes much
easier to concentrate, focus and achieve our goals. If we
liberate our natural talents and go with the flow, we will
have unlimited energy. A simple path to health must
be found and the 5 essentials for life will give YOU
the tools necessary to completely change your life forever.
Air - Through the air we
breathe we gain vital life force, so we must breathe
more deeply and put our attention on the QUALITY of the air.
One of the most beneficial methods of breathing is
deep rhythmical inhalation and exhalation through the nose.
10 - 15 minutes of deep breathing upon arising and before
retiring will be most beneficial. Any time throughout the
day, practise of this technique will help reduce stress
and tension and so aid the healing process.
Action ....... Breathe deeply
Water - Most of the planet
is covered with water and the human body is 75% water, so it
is easy to see how vital pure water is for life. Its
generally accepted by those who have studied the subject that
the abundant use of filtered, bottled or distilled water will
help keep the body cells free from accumulated waste products.
Water is a marvelous blood purifier that preserves
health and longevity.
Action ....... Drink Pure Water
Nutrition - What we eat is
directly related to how we think, feel and act - We are
what we eat ! One of the secrets to boost our energy levels
is to gradually introduce raw organic fruit and
vegetables to our diet. It is recommended that all intake of
food be organically grown. Include quality supplements to
achieve real health. Put the pure nutrition in or bear
the ....... difficult consequences !
Action ....... Eat Organic Fruit and Vegetables
Exercise - Everyone should
take some exercise on a daily basis as part of a healthy
lifestyle to increase vigour, strength and vitality. Good
forms of exercise are : walking, swimming, aikido, yoga,
chi kung, tai chi, martial arts, etc. depending on your
particular preference. Stretch and relax ... ....... use it or lose it !
Action ....... Stretch and Relax
Sleep and Relaxation - Most of
us counteract the benefits of sleep and relaxation - soft
mattresses, television, eating before retiring etc. If we are
using energy for digestion or processing thoughts, we
are not using it to repair and recharge our vital life force.
If you cannot sleep do not worry, breathe deeply, rest and
relax. It is likely that during the sleep you do get, your
brain fulfills its dreaming requirements.
Action ....... Relax the Mind - Just Let Go

5 PATHS TO HEALTH
You can balance your life energy and improve your health
easily and simply. If you liberate your natural talents and
go with the flow, you will have unlimited energy. When you
are calm and relaxed, it becomes easier to focus, concentrate
and achieve your goals. Most therapies, the main aim is to
encourage relaxation so that healing can take place.
Acupressure - can help restore
a sense of perspective by examining a method of self-help
rooted in universal principles of balanced and natural health.
The nature of vital life force is to flow smoothly and
harmoniously throughout the body. An infinite number of
situations can occur in which this energy is blocked. The
acupressure points when stimulated can help to adjust the
vital life force to once again flow freely.
Action ....... Acupressure Point Stimulation
Reflexology - can be found in
the healing methods of many ancient cultures. It is a
holistic therapy based on the idea that all dis-ease and
illness are caused by our thoughts and lifestyle. Massage
using reflexology simply stimulates the body's natural ability
to heal itself. Our feet connect us to the earth
and the energies of the universe. An effective method of
massage is to walk barefoot over rough terrain which will
stimulate the reflexes and improve the circulation
throughout the body.
Action ....... Walk Barefoot in Nature
Energy Balancing - Kinesiology
and touch for health are a natural path to balanced health
and well-being. Through a series of muscle testing techniques,
it is possible to find in which organ your energy is blocked.
Corrections are made by a variety of stimulation and holding
techniques to re-balance the energy flow. Emotional stress
release is an excellent method to let go of past worries and
move on with your life. A sound, strong, healthy body is
necessary for you to do your best work and study. Yoga will
balance and boost your energy levels.
Action ....... A Simple Yoga routine
Sound Healing - Healing in the
21st century will make use of light and sound, working
with the vibratory rates of elements, cells, organs, organisms
and states of consciousness. Music, sound healing, mantras and
chants have very ancient origins. Within the mysteries
of sound healing is vibrational motion. You can gain
and direct this energy for healing, inspiration and path-ways
that lead to harmony on all levels.
Action ....... Chant A - O - U
Contact Healing - Running down
both sides of the spine are energy centres through which
the creative energy flows. We can either choose a lifestyle in
which this creative energy flows freely or choose to block it !
Healing will come when the vital life force is balanced and
strengthened by vitalising the blood stream and sending
positive or negative vibrations directly to the weak part of
the body. We can increase our positive energy vibrations
by putting more oxygen into the bloodstream. We can
increase our negative energy vibrations by putting more
nutrients in.
Action ....... Pure Oxygen and Nutrients

5 LEVEL OF BEING
As human beings we operate on many different levels of
existence at the same time. This is why we can't quite
understand our complex lives, it all becomes most
confusing and we are what we think about. If we look
at each of the main levels it becomes more clear that
we must control ourselves or be controlled by forces outside of ourselves.
Physical - The 5 physical senses
are our connection to the physical world, and the nervous
system spreads throughout every part of the body. Impulses
are carried from the sense organs to the brain and other nerve
centres. If we are to make the most of our lives, we need to
keep ourselves healthy and fit in order to experience a life
of harmony and balance. The best method is to develop good
habits ... eat a balanced diet, take regular exercise and
manage stress. Deep breathing in an outdoor environment for
extra positive energy ; Drinking plenty of pure water and
eating organic foods (backed up by supplements) for extra
negative energy. It is important to balance the power of
these opposing vibrations to experience health and harmony.
Action ....... Pure Air, Water, Food, Exercise, Sleep
Emotional - feelings are the
sensations of the subconscious mind and the urges of the
instincts set them into action. Emotion is the spark to action,
an automatic response to certain situations, causing biological
reactions in the body. It can sometimes spring up from no-where,
we can love, be happy, sad, fearful, angry etc. Under stress
the blood flow to the left and right hemisphere's of the brain
can become unbalanced and lose harmony. Laughter can solve many
problems and even help cure ill-ness and dis-ease. When you
take control of your emotions you will begin to experience more
energy. When emotion strikes, breathe deeply, relax and let it go.
Action ....... relax, Laugh and Let Go
Causal - body of human beings,
known as the seed body is a place where memories of past lives
and karmic patterns are stored. A reader of past lives looks here
by reading the Akashic records on the causal plane of the path to
God. This will explain some of our current personality and
character traits. It is possible to travel to higher states of
consciousness and become more aware of our true path. If we are
intending to look inwards for the answers to life's problems
then it is essential that we have support. Search for the right
inner path for you, and with discipline, perseverance and the
guidance of a master, a whole new fascinating world will open up
as you approach wisdom, power, freedom.
Action ....... Look Inwards for Answers
Mental - habits become so
grooved after a few repetitions that they become the major
ruling part of life. The lower mind is interested in making
money, eating, drinking and self-indulgence in the 5 passions.
The higher mind is engaged in thought activity like philosophy,
ethics, morals, creative arts, literature, music and painting.
A bright, cheerful and happy attitude will reflect itself in
your state of health. While depressed mental states, gloom,
worry, fear, hate, jealousy and anger all react upon the body
and produce physical tension which leads to illness and
dis-ease. A mental attitude of calmness, peace, strength and
absolute fearlessness will aid your development and make the
changes you want in your life.
Action ....... Control the Mind with Discipline
Spiritual - energy and Soul
uses the mind as a tool, but should not be guided by it
as the mind cannot understand the nature of divine essence
which can only be experienced. Learning to recognise,
understand and work with the light and sound of God is one
of the most unique and exciting paths to enlightenment. The
divine essence - God, exists at the heart of the spiritual
worlds beyond matter, energy, space and time. The word
vibration flows from the centre, through all planes of
existence to the physical plane and we must separate
illusion from truth to recognise ourselves as a channel
for God's vibrational energy. The answers can only be
found if we enquire within !
Action ....... Find Your True Path and Live It
Think Right Now - I am Healed
harmony of mind/body/spirit
5 PASSIONS TO DISCIPLINE
Discipline is allowing spirit to control the mind and
disregard the 5 deadly passions : Lust, Anger, Greed,
Attachment and Vanity, and by careful observation we can
see how these destructive mental activities work in human
beings. Emotions are automatic responses to situations we
are in, and they cause biological reactions in the body.
Either we must consciously form good habits, or we
unconsciously form bad ones. Common habits are fear,
self-pity, defeat, anxiety, despair, resignation etc.
We first form habits, and then habits form us !
Lust - is any normal function
that has been allowed to grow into an abnormal demand, which
makes it destructive and degrading. Abnormal sexual desires,
drugs, alcohol, tobacco, foods etc. Lust pulls us down to
common animal appetite's and holds us there, this is degrading.
This passion is never satisfied and the more we feed it the
more it want's, until it has full control of us. We grow to
become that upon which we contemplate, so whatever mind
concentrates upon ... it becomes. We can spend our time
productively, and ... change for the better.
Action ....... Focus on Positive Virtues
Anger - is a reaction designed
to protect our integrity when we feel our personal boundaries
have been crossed, when we feel invaded. The physical signs of
repressed anger can be seen everywhere : clenched fists, tense
jaws, stiff backs, raised voices, staring eyes ... people tend
to be on the edge. Anger destroys peace, neutralizes love,
engenders hatred and turns friends into enemies. On the path
to truth, it is important to express our anger and not leave
it buried within us. When we express our anger positively we
will feel a release and feel compassion, as we can now
understand what drove the individual to cross our boundaries.
Action ..... Breathe Deeply, Relax and Let it Go
Greed - enslaves us to the
material things in life, and clouds the mind from the higher
goals of spirit. It makes us worship money, gold, diamonds,
gemstones and other valuables. Greed clouds our minds to
seek wealth instead of spirituality, resulting in slavery.
It hardens the consciousness, makes us thick skinned,
selfish and becomes the most relentless slave driver. We
must become more detached and ask ourselves 'what is the
difference between What do I really wan't and What do I
really need' ... there the answer may be found !
Action ....... Give Time to Others
Attachment - holds us down,
while we wait for our lives to improve, waiting for
something to happen to release us from the burdens of life
and is part of our mental baggage, it aims to enslave us and
set a false value on our surroundings, associations and
relationships. After we become absorbed in attachment, we
have no time for anything else. When we take responsibility,
we see that we had almost given up on our dreams, desires
and life goals. We can look closely at how we live and become
more detached, in a compassionate way. If life doesn't go
exactly how we wan't it to, then, ... because we are more
detached, it won't crush us.
Action ....... Meditate on Truth
Vanity - blocks us from
taking the path of truth, as it deceives us and makes us
self-satisfied. Vanity builds organisations, establishes
creeds and dogmas and then assumes itself as the only way.
It lives upon its own exagerations and has thousands of ways
to tell the mind to hold itself in high esteem. The vain human
being is arrogant and puffed up with the vanity of his own
imagination. Vanity is extremely sensitive, but sees no
weakness within itself, a paradox. We can be free of vanity
if we are prepared to make a careful study of our own motives
and actions, drop the negative and use the positive.
Action ....... Drop Negative Illusions
You can Conquer Anxiety

5 NATURAL POWERS
The elements of Heaven, Earth, Fire, Water and Air are the
building blocks of our planet, we could not exist without
them. For thousands of years people lived much closer to
nature than we do, and they believed that the elements were
the key to the universe and all of its mysteries.
Heaven - Humankind has a soul
which is the real self and the body is the earthly temple.
We are here for the purpose of gaining knowledge and
experience, developing virtues which we lack and advancing
towards the perfection of our nature. To truly live at the
peak of existence, we must raise our positive energy
vibrations to bring harmony and balance in our lives.
Universal law is pure energy. It accepts whatever thoughts,
feelings and actions we project and reflects them back at us,
in the form of events experienced day to day. Spiritual
power is nourished in the hara (centre of gravity) and seen
as light in the third eye.
Action ....... Relax with Mind on Hara
Earth - Everything that
happens on and around the earth is controlled by the forces
of nature, the seasons, night and day, birth, growth and death
effect all living things - plants, animals and humans.
Physical energy is powerful and vibrant and the source of
this power is the living earth and the natural laws. The best
method of experiencing this power is to walk barefoot on the
planet. This will give you many of the essentials for
achieving harmony and good health : deep breathing, exercise,
peace and calm, time to unwind from your stress. Add ; pure
water and top nutrition, then you are on the road to success !
Action ....... Walk Barefoot in Nature
Fire - The flame of a candle
is said to symbolise our soul and fire plays an important
part in our rituals of life and death. It is often used to
purify people as many prefer to be cremated when they die.
Fire gives us energy, as heat and light and is said to ward
off evil, but can be very dangerous if it gets out of control.
We all have access to powerful energy vibrations from the sun
which is the source of heat and light on the planet, but
please remember balance and harmony - too much of anything
is bad for your well-being. The physical attribute symbolised
by fire is bravery with a strong heart and circulation.
Action ....... Contemplate a Candle Flame
Water - Nothing in the world
can be compared to water for its weak and yielding nature
that is, cleansing, purifying, and healing, but has great
power and can do harm. Water is essential for life, it
transports nutrients and oxygen around our body and we need
it to build tissue and turn food into energy. Water refreshes
the body, revitalises our vital organs and raises energy
levels. It is essential to drink plenty of pure water each
day. Consider the ebb and flow of the tide, as the waves
strike the shore creating sound. We can time our breathing
with this rhythm, absorbing the entire universe in our belly
with each inhalation. This practise will energise and
vitalise our whole being.
Action ....... Drink, Swim, Listen to Water
Air - is vital to our
existence. The moment we cease to breathe, the physical body
begins to decay. Breathing is the basic root of existence,
and as such must have prime consideration in any problem of
health. We are generally aware that mountain or sea air
makes us feel good and can even promote healing. It is
surprising that we do not give more attention to the
quality of the air we breathe. Air carries with it an energy
that is in and around our bodies and we have the ability to
TAP into this energy source. We can consciously use air to
give us vital life force to benefit our health and well-being.
Action ....... Contemplate Your Breathing
