Life is flowing…
Moment to moment…
Flow with it,
And be sheltered from the hassles
Of time and space.
Life is full of power…
Live it…
From breath…
To breath!

Awareness of Death
There was once a dervish who embarked upon a sea journey. As the other passengers in the ship came aboard one by one, they saw him and – as is the custom – asked him for a piece of advice. What he advised was: ‘Try to be aware of death, until you know what death is.’ Few of the travelers felt particularly attracted to this admonition.
While at sea a terrible storm blew up. The crew and the passengers alike fell upon their knees, imploring God to save the ship. They alternately screamed in terror, gave themselves up for lost, hoped wildly for deliverance. The dervish sat quietly, reflective, not reacting.
Eventually the buffeting stopped, the sea and sky were calm, and the passengers remembered how serene the dervish had been throughout the episode. One of them asked him: ‘ Did you not realize that during this frightful tempest that there was nothing more solid than a plank between us all and death?’
‘Oh, yes, indeed,’ answered the dervish. ‘I knew that it is like that at sea. I also realize, however, that in living day to day there is even less between us and death. In that moment of dread you were aware of death because you thought it was immanent. Will you hold that awareness as you live this day?

Pranayama(3 minutes): breath of the dog’s breath
Eyes: the tip of the nose
Mudra: open and close with powerful fists, twisting wrists from outside
inside:
“Open your mouth and look at this breath (start breathing quickly in and
out through the mouth) the breath of the dog, as dogs do. You do not
have to go to a doctor tonight, you should care for yourself. Eyes at the
tip of the nose. This is the reason why dogs never get sick. Breathe fast
and powerful, with all your strength. If you have cancer, do it, see what
happens. You can, use the power. Pull your fingers in hard. Keep your
mouth like an “O”. When you are in a hospital and you feel miserable, that one ‘becomes’ O’ and when you feel even more miserable, it becomes “Q”, your tongue comes out, remember? So, only “O”.
Finally breathe and tighten and squeeze, squeeze, the whole body like steel. Like a cannon, exhale. 3 times.
Pranayama (3 minutes) : breath of the dog’s mouth to O
Eyes: closed
Mudra: Push to turn your arms forward with the palms flat facing
outwards. (When an arm is to go as fast as strength to push off with
your blocks. Others instead returns to his chest and back). This
exercise and very unique, and a bit ‘difficult because will work on your
block and you know we’re all stuck. Same “O”. the breath begins in the
same way the previous one. Quick, quick alternately push out his arms.
Push, Push the dirt off of you hit strong, strong, swim, swim go push,
stronger stronger, whatever you release will be gone for good, you will
not have any new sense around you, stronger than most strong push, push, the hair will grow, push, push, push, push, push all that there is’ killing, push, stronger, with the “O” breath.
continue ……. Finally Breathe? Stay where you are …….. stretch, shake your body shake your whole body…shake … exhale. (3 times by changing the position of the hands) If you do these exercises, you can not have bleeding, you can not have an attack (cardiac), because you are a stress test, this is a stress test.
Pranayama (3 minutes): breathing dog’s mouth in an O
Eyes: the tip of the nose
Mudra: hands open as shown and rotate the palms of your hands
quickly. You see now look, there is an absolute angle of the hand, look
at this. You have to do it exactly that way because the prana must
pass, and and this. (Start breathing of the dog), you see I’m dancing,
the whole thing moves
Come on, come on, move people, you should be at least 20 cm. above
the floor with every move, move, move.
Finally inspired!, And stick out your tongue, and squeeze, squeeze, tongue out, do it like iron and hammer. Squeeze your entire body, exhale. 3 times
Put the tape (Punjabi drum music) and dance with your hands above your head (3 minutes)
Get up and continue dancing with arms up (3 minutes).
Musashi’s Nine Principles of Strategy
1. Do not think dishonestly
2. The way is in the training
3. Become acquainted with every art.
4. Know the ways of all professions.
5. Distinguish between gain and loss in worldly matters.
6. Develop intuitive judgement and understanding for everything.
7. Perceive those things which cannot be seen.
8. Pay attention even to trifles.
9. Do nothing which is of no use.
— Miyamoto Musashi
The Book of Five Rings
Timing in Strategy
There is timing in everything. Timing in strategy cannot be mastered without a great deal of practice.
Timing is important in dancing and pipe and string music, for they are in rhythm only if timing is good. Timing and rhythm are also involved in the military arts, shooting bows and guns, and riding horses. In all skills and abilities there is timing.
There is also timing in the Void.
There is timing in the whole life of the warrior, in his thriving and declining, in his harmony and discord. Similarly, there is timing in the Ways of the merchant, in the rise and fall of capital. All things entail rising and falling timing. You must be able to discern this. In strategy there are various timing considerations. From the outset you must know the applicable timing and the inapplicable timing. and from among the large and small things and the fast and slow timings find the relevant timing, first seeing the distance timing and the background timing. This is the main thing in strategy. It is especially important to know the background timing, otherwise your strategy will become uncertain.
You will win battles with the timing in the Void born of the timing of cunning by knowing the enemies’ timing, and thus using a timing which the enemy does not expect.
–Miyamoto Musashi

I wish to express my gratitude to my teacher of many years in the Art of Aikido, Bobby Ishibashi, who explained to me the most important aspects of relating with an attacker: distance and blending. — HNS

1. Recognize that the other person is you.
2. There is a way through every block.

5. Vibrate the Cosmos. Cosmos shall clear the path.

In the Name of the Cosmos
You Didn’t Build That
Nasrudin (during his age, there was no car) has been looking for a parking place for twenty minutes already. He turns around, he waits, he drives a bit further, but finds nothing.
He has an important business meeting and he’s going to be late, but nothing, no parking space. Filled with despair he raises his eyes up to the sky and says:
“My God, if you get me a parking space in five minutes, I promise to you that I’ll eat kosher (halal) food for the rest of my life…”
And suddenly – O miracle! – right next to him a car drives away leaving an ideal parking spot.
So Nasrudin turns his eyes to the sky and says: “God, stop searching, I found one!”
Nasrudin Tells a Lie
One day Nasrudin and his friends decided to play a joke on the people in a village. So Nasrudin drew a crowd, and lied to them about a gold mine in a certain place. When everybody ran to get their hands on the gold, Nasruddin started running with them. When asked by his friends why he was following them, he said “So many people believed it, that I think it may be true!”

Meditation: Breath to Conquer Time Space and Destiny
Breath to Conquer Time, Space and Destiny
“Practice this kriya with and empty stomach. This is a special meditation through which a juman has the power to halt time and space an destiny. Do you understand to what vastness you can reach if you want? One who loves God can twist around even God. That is why we say love is God. The organization of God is timeless, but one who loves God has the power to bring this timelessness into time and space.
“This kriya neutralizes the energy and gives a wider horizon to anyone of limited nature. It is very simple, highly psychological, vey healing and most powerful. It neutralizes the energy and gives a wider horizon to an individual. Left side of the body (Ida) represents time, right side of the body (Pingala) represents space, and the central self (Shushmana) is infinity.
“It is not very complicated, but it does a very computerized , complicated job for any human mind and body. Previously, it was only taught to those who were gifted in the spiritual world. Old Christian mystics used to do it to gain Crist consciousness.
How to do Reverse Prayer Pose Mudra
Roll your shoulders inward toward your chest, stretching your shoulder blades apart. Bring your hands into traditional Prayer Pose and then roll you r wrists so that your palms face your chest. Continue rolling your wrists until the backs of your hands are touching from the wrists to the tips of the fingers (be sure that backs of your Jupiter (index) fingers are touching each other with the same amount of pressure as the backs of the other fingers are touching each other).
This puts a great deal of pressure on meridian points in the shoulders. Maintain the stretch in the shoulder area so that you do not put too much pressure on the wrists. The angle of the forearm is sixty degrees from elbow to wrist.
This mudra puts pressure on the area that controls the secretion of the pancreas. It blocks the sugar flow in the blood stream and gives powerful alertness to the mind. When our mind is alert, it can defend our spirit and we can live spiritually amid the challenges of life.
1. Sit in Easy Pose with a straight spine, chin in, and chest lifted. Balance your weight on your sit bones. Your eyes are nine-tenths closed. Bring your hands into Reverse Prayer Pose in the center of your chest. Hold the posture for 2 1⁄2 minutes to let your aura adjust. Then inhale in four slow. Powerful strokes through the nose and exhale all the breath our with a continuous whistle. 8 1⁄2 minutes (11 minutes total time)
2. Inhale, exhale, and stretch your arms straight up, spreading the fingers wide apart. Stretch all the way up. 30 seconds.
3. Come back into Reverse Prayer Pose and calmly begin long deep breathing. Inhale, mentally chanting “Wha-hay”. Exhale mentally chanting “Guroo”.
9 1⁄2 minutes
4. Stay in position and continue long, deep breathing. Slow the breath down to 30 seconds for the inhalation and 30 seconds for the exhalation (one breath a minute, or as slowly as you comfortably can, up to on breath a minute). Mentally vibrate Wha-hay Guroo with your heartbeat (75-80 times per minute). 13 1⁄2 minutes.
5. Inhale, stretch the hands upward briefly, exhale, and relax.
“This exercise can be given in cases where there is a breakdown in a drug hallucination and the patient doesn’t want to control himself any way other than be controlling his own system, This can save a lot of suffering.”

That Meditation changes the chemistry of the brain. It separates the functions of the pituitary and the pineal glands, which has an effect of giving you deep intuition.
Okay. Let’s put our intuition to work. Let’s do something that we haven’t done for quite a long time. Let’s try to heal something from the past. The past is a relative thing. Sometimes something that happened that seemed that it was in the past is still with us; right? Especially a traumatic event or something you just don’t get over: It feels present. Well, let’s work on healing something like that in the past.
We’re going to place our awareness in a particular aspect. We’re going to access our memory. As the healer we’re not going to remember anything; however, we’re going to access our memory as though we are remembering something. We all do it. When you try to remember something, you go to where your memory is. We’re going to go to where our memory is. We’re going to open the space, and we’re going to sit in that place where we remember. We don’t usually do it without a purpose, object, or focus; however, we’re not going to have any object or focus here, except to heal.
You’ll relate with your partner to heal. We’re going to heal through that aspect of our awareness. We’d like to heal something in our partner’s past.
Okay. Let’s try it.
Round One : Open the space. Feel the sounds as they manifest inside you. Merge with that experience of the sounds inside you. Be aware of what is being produced by your mind. Just observe it. Watch the flow. Now go to that place in your mind where you can remember, as though you’re trying to remember something. Don’t try to remember anything in particular. Just go to where your memory is. Relate with your partner from that place of memory where you remember, with the intention of healing something that is recalled by your partner in your partner’s memory. Find some place in the memory that’s a point of irritation. Give space to those memories, and release their attachment. Come to conclusion.
What seems to be the nature of the attachment to a memory that keeps it present? In general it’s emotional.
Okay. Switch.
Round Two : Open the space. Feel the sounds as they’re expressed inside you. Be aware of how the sounds are stimulating the thoughts. Observe the thoughts as they flow. Continue to feel the sounds as they’re expressed inside you. Observe the flow in the mind. Go to that place in your mind where you remember just in general. Don’t try to remember anything in particular, just where you go when you remember something. Only go to that place where you remember. Still feel the sounds inside you, and how they affect your experience of that place where you remember. From this place relate with your partner in this space of remembering with the intention of healing something that’s present in your partner’s memory. Feel how it’s affecting you. Give space to that. Don’t resist the thoughts. Give space to them. As the resistances resolve, go further and deeper back into your partner’s memory. Go to the First Chakra. Memories are stored there. Relate with that. Go to the darkest place in the space, and dwell there. Heal the memories that come from the First Chakra. Release the resistance. Come to conclusion.
That was an interesting journey. That could be very effective to go to the deepest root of some things that just are bugging somebody that become compulsions, maybe some things that happened a long time ago — maybe an event or maybe not, some experience, something that affected the person’s patterns of thought, behavior, perception.
You can go through all these layers, very emotional at first. You go through all the emotions. Then the emotions start to settle down. Then you can go to the really tough stuff.
Most of the emotional baggage is fear-based in people, motivating them to do things in ways that are just expressions of their fear.
Anything else?
Darkness is a perception. Since we were already Dreaming, I thought we would go through that Gate that goes into the Earth.
That felt pretty good for the Tiny Pets. Yeah, it was pleasant. The space was really nice, free, easy, and open. There wasn’t a lot of conflict in in it. That’s a nice approach.
Okay then. We’ll finish.
Sat Nam. Sat Nam. Sat Nam. (silent prayer….)
A pretty major component of the subconscious is old pattens of memory of the Soul.
These are Warrior Days, too. There’s still a lot of violence perpetrated on people in very grotesque ways. It’s not always in a dungeon with physical instruments of torture; however, there are a lot of pressures that are put on people in a way that is like torture: psychological pressures, pressures of feeling helpless in fulfilling their Destiny. They can’t accomplish what they know they have to do. Just a regular person who has a family may have a lot of trouble providing for that family. That’s torture. Watching people hungry and exposed to the elements is violence. That’s violence.
We should try to heal anything that we can relate with, have an experience, and contain that. In some way we’ll have an experience of it. If we can contain that without imagining what we think that is, then it will have a big effect and an impact: maybe make the person stronger in the way that person needs to be stronger, or however it will work. We don’t have to understand the mechanics of how it will work necessarily. We may be given the knowledge of that at some point in doing that; however, we don’t start with that. Just contemplate it.
Very often when you deal with things that are really different, or dealing with people’s attitudes, or dealing with really ingrained patterns of behavior, it could feel very uncomfortable and feel wrong — that that’s not what this is that you’re experiencing; however, it is what you’re experiencing, without going to the imagination of what you think it is. Sometimes it gets very uncomfortable relating with conditions in healing. We just need to contain it though, no matter how uncomfortable it is, or even if we doubt it and think that it’s not right, that this couldn’t be it; however, it is it. Whatever the experience you’re having is it. Maybe it’s producing a lot of thoughts or a lot of doubts, or you want to reject it. That is what it is. We just allow that experience, however it manifests. Because we picked something that seems a little unusual and you wouldn’t really know how that could be fixed, it’s still okay. Go there. Relate with it. Contain it.
I’ve contemplated a lot on the positions that people take who are very firm, strident, unyielding, intractable, and they say, “I’m never going to change.” The things that brings up are those kinds of feelings: “This is impossible. How will this ever be different? How can this change?” As long as we ourselves don’t hold a position about it, a belief that it must be this or it must be that, then we’ll be okay. We’ll be able to heal something. We’ll be able to have an impact on it — just not taking a position and not holding any particular belief about it: “This is because of that. What these guys are doing is wrong.” That really isn’t a useful part of our healing process.
You can relate and see what happens. Maybe there will be some effect; however, we don’t need to expect any particular outcome, such as, “Oh, he’s finally going to change in a perceptible way, or in a way that we expect him to change.” That may not happen. I don’t think we should expect that. It doesn’t matter. If you’re healing, you’re just healing.
You have to see how you can be effective in any situation. If you find an opportunity where confronting him with it will shed light on it in some way that matters, then maybe that’s a good thing to do. Just confronting him and saying, “You’re bad” probably won’t work. There could be risks.
We don’t need to know the particular mechanics of how things resolve or what trajectory it’s going to take because it’s really complicated; so we contemplate. That’s the answer to everything. Just contemplate. Give it space. Try not to get too upset. Don’t react. Just be watchful for where there’s some opening. There has to be an opening for something to happen. That’s where you apply intensity.
Applying intensity, saying, “I saw you do that. You’re really bad,” you’re pushing directly against and opposite to the way this person is already pushing; and so that doesn’t have a big effect. The person pushes harder. “No. I’m not bad. You’re bad.” Then maybe they set you up to look really bad if they have a lot of power. If there’s an opening somewhere that goes in-between or perpendicular to what they’re doing and the direction they’re pushing, then maybe you can have some effect on something.
It’s how the U.S. Government put Al Capone in jail. They were trying to get him for all those people he had killed and all of the mayhem that he caused in his life. They could never do it because he was so protected and so insulated from the people who were doing all these things for him. They went sideways. They said, “Oh, yeah. Look at this, man, your books, your accounting.” It’s just as good. They got him on his accounting. It was just as valid at the time for whatever happened there to put this guy in jail for accounting fraud, manipulation, and bad reporting. That was how they got him to go to jail. They could never get him for the really bad stuff. That was an opening.
Sometimes that’s what being really clever is: just waiting, watching, and finding when there’s an opening to do something and be effective in something. They’ll change, or something will make them change, or there will be pressure on them that you’re not putting on them directly because they’ll just resist that.
When you’re healing and you find resistance, you don’t push the resistance. You expand that experience. We make it Silent. There’s no pushing. Then something can happen. That’s when you’re effective as a healer.
Okay then. We’re finished.
HNS Class Golden Bridge Hollywood – 2012-11-14 – Stillness and Peace
Tune-in. Ong Namo….
Let’s do this Meditation:
The right hand wraps around and holds the left thumb. The hands rest in the lap. Close the eyes. Focus your eyes downward to the tip of the chin. Silently recite to yourself, “Wa… he… Gu… ru….” Contemplate the space between each syllable: “Wa… he… Gu… ru….”
Time: 11 minutes
To Finish: Inhale deeply, and relax.
Okay. Take your partner.
Round 1: Open the space. Feel the sounds as they resonate inside you. Feel how the sounds are interacting with all of your perceptions. Find the Silence in your space, and expand your experience into the Silence. In your experience of the sounds find the emotional component. See what stimulates emotion. Use that emotional component of your experience to bring your awareness to your Third Chakra. Allow that emotional sensation to remind you to hold your awareness there in the Third Chakra. Go beyond the forms of your mind. Experience the Silence, beginning in the Third Chakra, and then let it expand. Research that relationship between the sounds and the emotions, and experience it in the Third Chakra. Let it expand. Now choose to relate with your partner. Relate with the Third Chakra of your partner with the intention of moving the awareness of your partner to the Third Chakra. Relate with the Third Chakra of your partner with the intention of clarifying the mind. Keep sitting in your Third Chakra. Observe the relationship between the sounds and the emotions. Relate with your partner in a way to clarify the mind with the awareness in the Third Chakra. Use the Silence to expand the experience. Keep going beyond the forms of the mind, and just allow it to clarify. Bring the entire space of the relation with the Third Chakra of your partner to neutral, observing the effect on the mind. Come to conclusion.
Comfortable?
Round Two : Open the space. Allow the sounds to begin to affect your entire Field of Perception, and to penetrate inside you. Feel the sounds inside you. Feel how the sounds are affecting the emotional component of your Field. Set the intention to move your awareness to your Third Chakra. Perceive the sounds, emotions, and everything in your Third Chakra. Choose to relate with your partner and your partner’s Third Chakra. You need to move your partner’s experience to the Third Chakra. Research how your relation in the space of your partner’s Third Chakra is affecting the mind and how it’s working. Find how you can relate with the space in the Third Chakra, in that Field, to clarify the mind. Expand the space in the Third Chakra. Use the Silence. Bring the space to neutral. Expand the space in the Third Chakra. Expand the space in the mind. If you think it’s too abstract, you can continue to be aware of the sounds and their effect on the emotions. Come to conclusion. Switch.
We’re not done.
Round Three : Open the space. Be aware of the sounds in the space. Feel the sounds inside you. Move your awareness to the Throat Chakra. Feel the sounds inside your Throat Chakra. Feel how the sounds affect the part of your Field that’s the emotions. Relate with your partner. Relate with your partner’s Throat Chakra. In the space of the relation with your partner’s Throat Chakra, modify that relation in a way that will adjust your partner’s spine. Adjust the neck. Adjust the cranium. Release the pressure in the vagus nerve. Release the pressure, beginning in the face. Release all the places where there’s pressure. Come to conclusion. Switch.
Round Four: Open the space. Open your Field. Relate with the sounds inside you. Relate with the sounds’ connecting with emotions. Observe your Perceptive Field in the Throat Chakra. Keep the connection with the sounds. Relate with your partner’s Throat Chakra. Relate with the Throat Chakra in a way that will adjust your partner’s spine, neck, and cranium. Release any pressure and swelling in the vagus nerve, and any irritation in the face, or wherever there’s any pressure. Come to conclusion. Switch.
Round Five : Healers, as you approach your partners, put yourselves into a position where you’ll be able to touch your partners’ heads with your right hands. Open the space. Relate with the Field of the Sound inside you. Put your hands into the Mahan Gyan Mudra. (The elbows are bent and into the sides. The left palm faces up to the ceiling, and the right palm faces down to the floor. On both hands the Jupiter fingers are straight, and the thumbs hold down the other fingers. The top section of the right Jupiter Finger sits on the top section of the left Jupiter Finger. The two Jupiter Fingers form a 90-degree angle.) Place your awareness in your Crown Chakra. Relate with your partner’s Crown Chakra. Don’t do anything. Just contemplate the relation. Feel the resistances. Feel everything that is movement away from Stillness. Go more deeply into Stillness. Continue to contemplate and feel the resistance, allowing the Stillness to amplify the perception. Bring your mind into Absolute Stillness. Don’t move from that Stillness; however, do move your right Jupiter Finger, and touch the top of your partner’s head. Release all resistance. Okay. Switch.
Round Six: Open the space. Feel the sounds inside you. Move your awareness to your Crown Chakra. Relate with your partner. Place your hands into the Maha Gyan Mudra. Relate with your partner’s Crown Chakra. Bring your mind to Stillness. Feel the resistances. Let the Stillness amplify the resistance. Don’t change anything. Stay in that Stillness. Don’t move from it; however, move your right Jupiter Finger, and touch the top of your partner’s head, releasing the resistance. Okay.
