he Hidden Wisdom of Reflexology and Acupressure

Have you ever considered that your feet might hold the key to understanding your overall health? In holistic healing, the feet are more than just a foundation for movement—they are a map to your body’s well-being. Through reflexology and acupressure, we can decode the messages hidden within our feet, uncovering stress points, energy blockages, and even emotional imbalances.

In my last blog I wrote about the divine channel of light called the shushumna. It has a double pulse of light that flows up and down the spinal column through the lenses of the seven chakras.

The ida and the pingala are the twin serpents that weave through the center of the chakras and the shushumna up and down the spine. You are probably most familiar with the way they are illustrated in the medical professions’ caduceus. 

Like the shushumna, they are very much part of the human aura or biofield as it's called nowaday and combined with the seven chakras are the totality of the human biofield that hold our physical nature in space and time

When we pray, meditate, do yoga, we are stimulating the ida/pingala through the chakras that help us awaken spiritually.

The Divine Channel of Light

Perhaps by now you've heard of the chakras, the seven centers of consciousness that are lined up more or less with the column of the spine. They are representations of the consciousness that flows between the physical and non physical dimensions.

There is a column of light that passes through the lenses of all 7 chakras and it is called the shushumna.  This amazing column of light has a pulse that flows in both directions up and down the spine and helps to balance all 7 chakras and the entire bio field.

There are exercises to help strengthen and tone this column of light that have existed in eastern philosophies and practices for centuries. A breathing exercise called the Circulation of Light is one that I use daily.  The circulation of light exercise is also called shoshuten breathing or the Microcosmic Orbital Breathing exercise.  You can practice helping balance and tone all 7 chakras through the shushumna by doing seven breaths (cycles) or more, as you wish.

Every Moment Counts

 We are very used to the idea of time in fact when you really think about it everything has a timer. The traffic light, your wake-up alarm, the amount of time you spend on a certain program in your computer, and so on it seems we are all so very conditioned to this concept of time itself and with that the anticipation of times to come. This is all very well and good but it's really important to emphasize what is it that you're doing right now in this moment?

 I've been teaching in the field of non-duality and metaphysics for over 30 years and one of the things I've come to understand is that we live in this oneness, where there is no separation and that everything is connected. We see this now in studies based on synchronicity and that there really are no accidents but rather that we live in a synchronized universe.

To you and I the reference really is that our true power only exists in the moment, not in the past nor in the future and yet we spend a lot of our days thinking about what has passed and what is to come.  Read the blog for a deeper explanation

Summer Solstice

It is the time of the summer solstice when our sun makes its northernmost journey this time of year to our northern hemisphere; A time when the most photons are illuminating the northern part of our earth and the least on the southern part.

We are wise to study our ancient cultures in why they would embrace the seasons of the year so fully that they would create stone circles and edifices that would measure these rhythms and cycles. Most notably, the two equinoxes when the sun is directly over the equator and the two solstices, summer and winter. 

We are very much a part of nature as anything else on this planet. Many make the mistake of saying that we are in nature but it's more accurate to say we are nature. After all every molecule in our bodies came out of this planet at some point.

Take some time during the solstice to admire and acknowledge the intricate synchrony of the workings of nature and how you have the capacity to tune into these rhythms and to be in a flow that is much more conducive to the workings of all things.

Wisdom to Realization

 For many years I've taught practitioners a form of subtle energy medicine that addresses the whole human being at the level of the chakras. For many of the characters were brain mystery in that they are called centers of energy but more correctly centers of consciousness in that these centers are conduits that flow consciousness between the physical, astral and causal bodies.

 Center of the chakra is said to be where everything and nothing exists in the same moment and these conduits can serve to awaken an individual to higher levels of awareness.

 So the teachings are that information can become knowledge, knowledge can become wisdom, but wisdom can only become higher levels of realization through awareness and that means spiritual awareness as the chakras flour and awaken.

 That is why it is so important to move beyond wisdom itself even though gained by experience to cultivate your spiritual practices that stimulates and awakens the chakras providing that higher level of awareness towards realization.

Everything is on a timer…

Purity and Love

Contrary to popular belief, manifestation is not creation. As I wrote in my last blog creation means to bring something from nothing and is more related to the second chakra. Manifestation means to be able to alchemically transform from one thing into another and is more related to the third chakra.

 That is, an example of manifestation would be if you work for 10 hours and then your number of hours of work is transformed into money. That is the alchemical aspect of what manifestation is. Another example is to be able to manifest something in the astral dimension into the physical dimension.

The power that makes this so is the intuitive ability in the third chakra called incisiveness which means to see things as they are and to get to the root of the thing thus constituted. So, if you really want to manifest something in your life you cannot just only will it to be so but have to be willing to accept the truth of what you desire in its highest and greatest form for your well-being. 

Something from Nothing                 

Bringing something from nothing as a reference to the second chakra which is located just below the navel; that is in my over 30 years of spiritual counseling and research I have found that each chakra has unique intuitive faculties that are working full time all the time.

In particular, the power of the second chakra is what I call the energy of the Mystic. It means to be able to intuitively perceive how something could be as whole and complete. The mystery is that one must have faith that the outcome is even greater than one could imagine and the magic elixir to make this occur is the ferocious employment of that interfaith.

It doesn't turn out always the way you want but it does turn out the way that is needed. And in this way, you truly can bring something from nothing if you're willing to let your inner true spiritual needs fruit through faith. 

What Your Feet Say About Your Health

By tapping into the body's natural healing mechanisms, these therapies unlock the potential for a healthier, more harmonious life.

Spring Equinox                                  

Where we are located here at the Bamboo Garden Wellness Center in Encinitas is right next to the boundary between Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe where a little bridge covers the stream. And I noticed just this week the din of countless numbers of frogs emerging, singing their ritual of awakening to the coming of spring.

 Because our human biology is very attuned to the cycles, rhythms and seasons of earth it is important, as our ancestors did, to honor these seasons and what they represent. That is, spring is a time of renewal, of coming forth, and of bringing forth the latent energies that have been stored up during the winter months.

This does not just apply to regions that experience a from a region that experiences a true cold winter and hot summer but to all parts of our planet.

Therefore, let us use this time wisely to give some thought as to what energy we are bringing forth, what has been stored up and what is time to renew in our lives with vigor and for us to truly thrive.

Integral health means body, mind and spirit. Take a moment and offer yourself the opportunity to fertilize all three and to bask in the coming sun of further inner illumination.

Being as Topos

In my almost 35 years of energy medicine, I've observed that more than 95% of all communication is not verbal or physical but rather energy. We radiate not just the energy of our biofields but our consciousness as well. It is like a brilliant light that radiates from the center of our being ceaselessly.

“Being as Topos” is just simply a way of saying that we are the energy that we represent or the level of awareness that we have achieved. This is why so often we are attracted to men and women who have achieved a high state of spiritual awareness because they are radiating that quality 24/7.

In fact, whether we know it or not we all take a psychic relationship to each other long before the mind ever thinks a single thought. And we always bring people into our lives who represent the possibility of our own inner further growth.

So one way of raising the quality of your path is by associating and aligning yourself with those who represent that achievement or level (Being as Topos) and therefore you are affected by their state of vibration.
