How To Hypnotize Someone Secretly

Hypnotic trance… a term used by so a multitude of yet nobody a good deal knows for ensured how spot on it is. We can benefit from it, we can induce it but we don’t recognize WHAT it is. Almost any individual you ask will give you a slightly different definition. According to mindcodes, a hypnotic trance is “an amended state of awareness induced via hypnotism in that unconscious or dissociated responses to suggestion are enhanced in quality and increased in degree.” How To Hypnotize Someone Secretly

It’s a fairly good definition, however it doesn’t take an important component into account: the critical mind (a part of the conscious mind), which also has to be distracted in order for the enhanced responses to have a proper effect. For instance: If I were to take someone from the street and start talking to them about my product and get them all excited about it (= altered state), it wouldn’t guarantee a sale. He’d still say: “Yeah, an interesting product, but I have no need for it right now.”

If I replied: “No, you don’t understand, you DO need it. It’s a great product…”, his critical mind would reject my suggestions and I’d loose the sale. How To Hypnotize Someone Secretly

So, to get a desired response, we either need something else besides a trance in a person, or we need to redefine the word trance. For convenience of this article, we’ll just slightly redefine the word trance. “A trance is when a person’s activity of conscious mind’s critical faculty is severely reduced, his conscious mind is narrowly focused on our desired outcome and his unconscious or dissociated responses to suggestion are enhanced in quality and increased in degree.”How To Hypnotize Someone Secretly

For our purposes in covert hypnosis, this is a much better definition of a trance state because we deliberately induce a trance to get a desired outcome (which is in many cases more than just a momentary unconscious response). OK, now that we’ve established what a trance is, we can focus more on how to induce such a state in a person: Get anyone to do anything for you.

antly asked, what must I do after break up despite the fact that I’m still hot and heavy for my ex? My reaction has always been this, what do you wish to do? I can see that this is not the solution you’ve looked for but it’s weird that a man you used to make love to, the one you devoted all you had, turns out hurting you the most. As they say, ‘It is unachievable to love and be wise’ but you don’t want to get wounded.

You have no problem to say love is pain when you are not in pain but when you are in love with somebody who care for you it’s like been treated like nothing. Can you imagine all that touch… may be those Mustards flowers… all that ‘I care for you’… those chocolates and love stories, is dried up, that’s evil isn’t it?

Ratu Adil and Satria Piningit

Indonesia long awaits the saviors, Satria Piningit and Ratu Adil to show-up on the political stage to usher-in the Golden Age; and she secretly expects the saviors to “glorify” her before the other nations, just as other groups or some other nations egotistically long for the same thing. We would like to emphasize here that emissaries from God do not appear for the progress of a single group, sect, nation, etc.; the “angels” of God march on behalf of the spiritual unfoldment of humanity and the manifestation of God’s Will on Earth.

In this chapter we will discuss this subject of Ratu Adil and Satria Piningit in greater detail that has only been touched upon previously.

Ratu Adil

Ratu Adil, is the “Queen of Justice ” as translated into English. An improved rendering would be “Goddess of Justice.” The goddess is also called Satrio Wirang by some mystics. Many centuries ago her advent and influence was prophesied by Jayabaya, or those appropriating his name, such as Pangeran Wijil who wrote the book, “Jangka Jayabaya” in 1741.

Ever since the prediction was made there have been speculations as to the probable nature or even identity of the goddess, and also her associate, Satria Piningit. There are those that believe that when the time is ripe Ratu Adil would incarnate and live in the physical world as a human being and establish justice in a chaotic and anarchic world.

R. Ng Ranggawarsita, a poet of the “Kraton Surakarta” once wrote that a king would be born in Mecca with symbolic signs appearing such as the “Tujung Putih, Pudak Sinumpet,” or “White Lotus Flower, Hidden Bud.” The White Lotus Flower supposedly refers to Ratu Adil, whereas the Hidden Bud refers to Satria Piningit.

White lotus flowers have always signified spirituality or divinity to the ancient Egyptians, Hindus, and other cultures. The symbolic signs above could well mean that though she is unveiled, she is yet hidden; or in other words, her influence would be active in the physical world of men but she herself will remain unseen, the reason being that she resides in a different dimension. When mystics mention Mecca, what they are actually referring to is the Kabah, or House of God. In esoteric language, the Kabah symbolizes a high state of consciousness, or a lofty spiritual estate. Considering then, Mecca in conjunction with the other symbols we may reason Ratu Adil to be a divine, spiritual being, a goddess, functioning in a higher world unseen by the physical senses, but active in directing her representatives to work on behalf of Truth, Freedom and Justice.

Some believe that the coming of Ratu Adil simply means that at a future date justice would rule over our hearts and souls, and that our governments would implement Justice and Truth as the voice of their respective nation’s conscience. We concur with this belief; however, it might surprise some people to know that the Goddess of Justice, or Ratu Adil, does actually exist as a personal being and known to some students of esotericism. She is a cosmic entity far more advanced than any “perfect” human being, hence the title of “Goddess.” She is known among the members of the Spiritual Hierarchy and their unascended disciples as “Portia (Por-shia), the Goddess of Justice.”

According to notions here in Indonesia, Ratu Adil is somehow associated with Satria Piningit. Western occultism supports this concept. Ratu Adil and Satria Piningit are actually what is called “Twin-Flames,” or “Twin-Spirits.” To explain briefly what Twin-Souls are according to western occultism: the true identity of man is the Spirit, the divine spark of God within the microcosm. Theosophical students call this the “Monad”. When the main Divine Spark first emerged from the parent-flame, or God, it consisted of two polarities, one masculine and the other feminine. These two polarities later separated into lesser Sparks, or Spirits. Each human being is that evolving Spirit of a certain polarity of one of those billions of Divine Sparks, and each of us has a Twin-Spirit somewhere in the universe. Though most of us are presently separated from our Twin, we will unite with our “alter ego” when we have evolved to a certain stage and fulfilled certain spiritual tasks. Related to the principle of Twin-Flames are the Soul-mate and Karmic-mate concepts; however, they are irrelevant in this paper.

Portia, or Ratu Adil is one of the directors of the Karmic Board, and as such she is known as a “Lord of Karma.” The Karmic Board plays an important role in the evolution of humanity. The Board may be considered as the “higher law,” or God’s channel for executing divine justice, in contradistinction to the justice of mortal man who gleefully say that “justice is blind.”

We quote below from a glossary of the Summit Lighthouse the purpose of the Board of Karma and its members:

“The Lords of Karma dispense justice to this system of worlds, adjudicating karma, mercy, and judgment on behalf of every lifestream. All souls must pass before the Karmic Board before and after each incarnation on earth, receiving their assignment and karmic allotment for each lifetime beforehand and the review of their performance at its conclusion. Through the ‘Keeper of the Scrolls’ and the ‘Recording Angels,’ the Lords of Karma have access to the complete records of every lifestream’s incarnations on earth. They determine who shall embody, as well as when and where. They assign souls to families and communities, measuring out the weights of karma that must be balanced as the ‘jot and tittle’ of the law. The Karmic Board, acting in consonance with the individual I AM Presence and Christ Self, determines when the soul has earned the right to be free from the wheel of karma and the round of rebirth . . .”

There are presently eight members in the Karmic Board, each one representing a Spiritual Ray or power emanating from the spiritual counterpart of the Sun. All of them are lofty cosmic beings. To explain what these Spiritual Rays are is beyond the scope of this work. The Lords of Karma are:

First Ray

Great Divine Director

Second Ray

Goddess of Liberty

Third Ray

Lady Master Nada

Fourth Ray

Elohim Cyclopea

Fifth Ray

Pallas Athena, Goddess of Truth

Sixth Ray

Portia, Goddess of Justice

Seventh Ray

Kuan Yin, Goddess of Mercy

And recently a new member was installed representing the five secret rays–Vairochana–one of the Dhyani Buddhas.

Satria Piningit

As we said before, Christ, Ratu Adil, and Satria Piningit are members of the Spiritual Hierarchy and/or the Karmic Board. Satria Piningit is one of the “Lords of the Flame.” These Lords are called Chohans, meaning “Lord,” or “Master” in Tibetan. There are seven Lords functioning under the direction of the three departments of the spiritual government. Each of the Chohan represents and directs the Christ-Consciousness of a certain Divine Ray emanating from the Spiritual Sun; they also represent the qualities associated with that Ray. They assist the evolution of humanity in that field, or Ray-aspect with which they represent. The Lord of the Seventh Ray is a spiritual entity called Saint Germain; the name is a title, it means, “Holy Brother.” Saint Germain is Satria Piningit, the Knight Commander whose advent was predicted by Jayabaya. Saint Germain and Portia (Satria Piningit and Ratu Adil) are Devapi and Maru as mentioned in the Kalki Purana. “Devapi” literally means “God of Fire,” or in other words, “Lord of the Flame.” Aside from being a Chohan of the Seventh Ray, Saint Germain also holds the title of “God of Freedom.” This is the reason why whenever freedom is called for, the Knight Commander responds. In the past, St.Germain played an important role in the American Revolution.

It is our belief that he was active in the fight for freedom in Indonesia several decades ago as well, and also why his presence may be felt even now by our local “sensitives.” Economy, Organization, and Ceremony come under the direction of the office of the Lord of the Seventh Ray. Satria Piningit is also the great economist; and under his direction monetary and economic crisis may be solved but under certain strict conditions. St.Germain is likewise the “Initiator of Souls” in the science and ritual of transmutation through the violet flame of the Holy Spirit. Below we give the name of the Lords of the Rays, together with the colour Ray that they rule and their associated field of expertise:

[Please visit our website for the table]

According to Jayabaya, Satria Piningit will “appear” in an Age to come. Since Jayabaya made this prediction in the Age of Pisces, the “Age to come” refers to the Aquarian Age. It is not known exactly when the Aquarian Age would commence. Some give the date 2002 AD. to be the start of the New Age. The consensus among Indonesian psychics, several years ago, is that Satria Piningit would appear at the end of 1998. If they were referring to a physical presence and a public appearance then they may be mistaken, as so far, to this very day, there is no indication whatsoever to that effect–at least not in Indonesia.

Why was the advent of St.Germain said to be in the coming Age? According to certain sources, aside from being the Lord of the Seventh Ray, St. Germain, alias, Satria Piningit is also the Hierarch or the President-Director for the Aquarian Age. He rules the New Age as Hierarch together with his twin-flame Portia, the Goddess of Justice.

Another reason why the influence of Saint Germain is now growing in world affairs is that because now there is a great influx of the Violet Ray beaming upon our planet. Each of the Seven Rays has its cycle of influence in world affairs. Each cycle may run for centuries. The Violet Ray is now the predominant ray influencing humanity, with Satria Piningit as its Lord. It would be interesting to note that the symbol of St.Germain is the violet Maltese cross.

Knowing that the Knight Commander is the Lord of the Violet Ray it came to no surprise to us when we read in a local paranormal magazine (“Misteri” issue no.220) dealing with the supernatural, concerning Satria Piningit and the Violet Ray, as mentioned by “Eyang Prawiro.” According to Prawiro, the signs of the emergence of Satria Piningit are indicated by hailstorms–and from the South; after the abeyance of the storm, a certain refined violet light like a rainbow will shine upon a hill. And it is there that the one who is in spiritual retreat will be consecrated with the violet light that is called the “spirit of Satria Piningit.”

We would like to state here that there is an esoteric interpretation to the above description. Hills or mountains often symbolize the peak of consciousness while in intense meditation. They do not refer to a physical place. The one meditating may be any individual seeking for enlightenment. Hailstorms symbolizes psychological turmoil. In a spiritual-state during meditation, one may indeed contact the Knight Commander and be empowered by his Violet Ray and come under his spiritual influence should certain basic requirements be fulfilled. The above description, therefore, does not refer to any particular individual at all, but all those who align themselves with the ideals and principles embodied by St.Germain.

From the same source as the above, Eyang Prawiro says that Satria Piningit is not a human spirit. This substantiates our concept that the Knight Commander is a very evolved being, a god–using the term to mean a highly evolved entity that has transcended the human state of being. Below we quote Prawiro:

“Untuk Satrio Piningit, tokoh adil, kharismatik dan superpintar itu, dalam kontemplasi saya adalah roh yang supersuci dan bukan dari manusia, tapi dari roh halus, roh Malaikat pembantu Allah yang dipilih untuk menitis dalam bentuk wujud nyata manusia di dunia dan melakukan tindakan keadilan melawan kejahatan yang merajalela di Bumi.”

(“Regarding the Hidden Knight, a righteous, charismatic, and super-intelligent individual–in my contemplation is a very evolved spirit and not a human being, but a higher dimensional entity, a Guardian Angel of God that has been chosen to incarnate in this world in a human physical form and perform acts of justice against evil that is violently overpowering this world.”)

The “Guardian Angel of God” that Prawiro refers to is in accord with the teachings of western occultism that the Knight Commander is a Lord of the Flame, one of those high entities appointed to rule over a Spiritual Ray; however, it is not known whether Saint Germain actually is embodied, physically speaking. Many occult students believe that he is.

Prawiro also goes on to say that there are many Satria Piningits, and they will all appear to bring peace to the planet wherever and whenever they are needed. It should be evident from what we have revealed thus far, that Saint Germain has his representatives all over the planet, all of them being directed and inspired to work and act on behalf of Freedom, Justice, and Truth. Saint Germain contacts his knights telepathically and spiritually.

Prawiro also believes that one particular representative of Saint Germain will be chosen to be the leader of this nation, and that this said representative is still unknown. This could well be a possibility, but we would like to emphasize that there will be many who will represent the Knight Commander, and not just a single individual. They may not all be politicians.

Regarding the representative of St. Germain, or Indonesia’s future leader, Prawiro says that this individual chosen will be a Muslim, a follower of Islam, and not a devotee of one of the other religions. This may or may not be true, depending upon our perspective. The word Islam means, “surrender,”–surrender to God and to Cosmic law. It is also the surrender of the false ego, that the greater will of God may be implemented. In this sense all those who surrender themselves, no matter what religion they follow, may be considered as devotees of Islam, disregarding the “Syariat” aspect of the religion.

Prawiro goes on to say that the leader will be a man and not a woman. Does this refer to the physical body or to psychological traits? If it refers to psychological traits even entities in female bodies may be considered “male.” In reality, the soul is neither male nor female.

There is also a current belief that Satria Piningit or his representative is a Javanese. We would like to stress here that Saint Germain is not a Javanese, though his representatives are of many races; however, this is irrelevant. It is not the outer form that is important, but the inner quality of the soul. Nevertheless, we may interpret the word “Java-nese” to mean a “man of God.” In the Hebrew language, the Tetragramaton–the four-letter word, represents the name of God. The four letters are “Yod-He-Vau-He.” The real pronunciation of the word is known only to a few. The Tetragramaton is said to possess miraculous powers when enunciated correctly. Scholars and mystics of the past variably pronounce the Divine Name as, Jevo, Jao, Javo, Jave, Javeh, Jehovah, Jehva, Jahu, Yahweh, Java, etc. From this our readers may well understand how we infer “Javanese” to mean “Man of God.” Some may object that the Hebrew and Javanese languages have nothing in common; it should be known, however, that many languages do share a common root.

Many sources claim that St.Germain had many vital incarnations. He was, for instance, embodied as Samuel the Prophet (circa 1100 B.C.); as Joseph, the husband and protector of Mary and their child Jesus; as Proclus, Greek philosopher of the 5th century; as Merlin the Magician; as St.Alban who lived in the 8th century; as Roger Bacon (circa 1214-1294)–English philosopher and experimental scientist; as Christopher Columbus; as Francis Bacon (Shakespeare), Lord Chancellor of England–statesman, essayist, the “father of inductive science”; and as Prince Rakoczy–the Comte de Saint Germain, the “Wonderman of Europe”–he who was referred to by Voltaire in a letter to Frederick II as the “man who never dies.” As a “physical immortal” in that incarnation his worldly activities have been documented for more than a century (1710-1822). He was said to be still alive in the 20th century with many eye-witnesses, one being Charles Leadbeater, an eminent theosophical member.

Saint Germain as Francis Bacon engineered his own mock death and subsequently moved to Rakoczy Mansion in the Carpathian foothills of Translavania where he “ascended.” The Ascension is one of the advanced initiations offered to man; its spiritual level is much higher than Sainthood, or Masterhood.

The Solar Eclipse in Capricorn Speaks to your Soul!

With a Solar Eclipse right in front of our eyes, we do know something auspicious is going on and we might feel touched by the magnificence of the universe and its mysterious ways of working. I live on Maui and when I look up at the night sky I am actually able to see the stars. I love doing that! A girl friend of mine loves to travel with her husband to Solar Eclipses around the world; he actually proposed to her on one of their first trips! Is there something magical going on with Solar Eclipses? Why is it obviously touching our human soul and spirit?

When you imagine how much radiation we receive daily from the electromagnetic energy output from the Sun it is easy to understand that the interruption from that energy stream of radiation from the center of consciousness in our universe will have an impact onto our consciousness and lives. Twice a year, the Sun, Moon and Earth align exactly the way that the constant stream of radiation from the Sun is blocked and there is partial or total darkness. This is bound to have an impact on us.

Think about it. We are energy beings made of energy swirling around on sub atomic levels creating our physical bodies. It is not hard to realize the intricate and fragile balance our life as we know it, needs to continue. Of course every shift in the magnetic radiation through Sun Flares and Eclipses will have an impact.

Therefore it is said that the Solar Eclipses are altering our consciousness with fresh energy. It is like rebooting your computer after the electricity has been down. Solar Eclipses are therefore extremely powerful New Moons and this time it is all happening in Capricorn along with four other planets beside the Sun and Moon. The last time this Solar Eclipse has happened in Capricorn was nineteen years ago in January 1991. I do not remember anything specific happening for me so long back; my memory will not do that. But I am a different person now anyway and the surrounding astrological constellations are very different.

We had a quiet beginning the first two weeks of this year. But now the heavenly stars are making up for it with a big bang.  The year is gearing up to a new level of consciousness with the Solar Eclipse on January 14 – 15, 2010. This is accompanied by a close conjunction with Venus and two planets changing direction around this eclipse; Saturn is turning retrograde and Mercury direct.

For me astrology is an elegant way to become more conscious of myself in the magnificence of life in its ever changing cycles and rhythms. I feel embedded in the safe knowledge of accountability of the movements of the stars throughout the skies and have the reassuring feeling of participating in an orderly functioning and therefore secure universe. As an astrologer I know about the specifics and particularities of the planetary constellations and their meaning which helps me to align myself with the universal forces and use them to my benefit. It is easier to release struggles and resistance against the irresistible and it also puts a time frame onto hard times. Understanding and a higher state of consciousness always gives me more of a choice and thus a chance to influence and set the stage to my advantage.

You can read this article as the time sensitive post it was written or you can use it for deeper insight in general about the described astrological constellation whenever you happen to find the article in cyberspace.

The highlights of the plentiful activities in this week are:

Sun Conjunction Venus on January 13 Saturn Turning Retrograde January 13 New Moon/ Solar Eclipse in Capricorn in Conjunction with Venus on January 15 Mercury Turning Direct on January 15 Jupiter into Pisces on January 17

Sun Conjunction Venus on January 13

The Sun is reflecting our consciousness, our self identity and self image. It is one of the male representatives in astrology and thus can be seen as authority or father. Venus, the goddess of love and harmony, one of the female players softens the edges and brings kindness and compassion. This is a nice lead into the Eclipse for conscious alignment with greater kindheartedness and well intentions.

Saturn Turning Retrograde January 13

Saturn always had a bad reputation in astrology till astrologers like Liz Green shed new light and a different perspective onto the much needed qualities of Saturn. She was breaking new ground in looking at Saturn as a deepening and truly beneficiary actor in the chart. Saturn is playing a tremendously important role for us right now through February 2010 with the square to Pluto within 2 degrees.

The Outer World Reflects the Inner World!

When Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn turns retrograde we need to reassess the inner dimensions associated with Capricorn. We have to redefine our goals, coalitions, and roles to clarify our values and where we want to go. Usually we are easily ready to assign blame to outer structures; the failing economy, the corrupted government and the machinations of the corporate world. With Saturn retrograde till May 30 we are assigned to take a look into our own stuff inside. The outer world reflects the inner world! With that we have the responsibility to gain as much clarity (Saturn) as possible, mature and decide on new ways and implement them in our life. And that is a very powerful place. We can change the world, one step at a time within our reach.

New Moon/ Solar Eclipse in Capricorn in Conjunction with Venus on January 15

Again this Solar Eclipse is special because of the Venus conjunction and the two female players, Moon and Venus hand in hand. If the feminine principle in general is one of giving and nourishing life this Eclipse sets the tone of a very encouraging and soul enriching direction to embark on.

Mercury in Capricorn & Conjunction with Pluto is Turning Direct on January 15

With the short term Pluto conjunction squaring Saturn we have a jump start of true inquiry and inner realization. With the help of Mercury, the mythical messenger in his forward motion we have more skills in implementing insights and lay the groundwork for new and transformative real solutions. No more scapegoats and band-aid solutions are acceptable. We need true and honest assessments of what is and act accordingly for the greater good. You might ask yourself:

What does that mean for you?

What has ripened in the retrograde motion of Mercury for you to be exposed and acted on now?

Jupiter into Pisces on January 17

Jupiter moves into Pisces shortly after the Eclipse and will remain there till June 5. 2010. Jupiter rules Sagittarius and is the largest planet in our solar system. He represents the principle of expansion, the search for truth, wisdom, deeper meaning and understanding of the bigger picture. Pisces on the other hand is the twelfth sign of the zodiac and deals with the subtle, the non physical realm, the metaphysical, meditation, dreams, imagination, art and the oneness of our true nature.

Jupiter in Pisces can guide you into expansion in all these areas and enhance qualities as compassion, forgiveness, reconciliation and enhance your inner connection with the Divine. Out of that miracles are possible!

The Moon’s passage on Sunday over healing Chiron, then over Neptune is enhancing the potential of a new understanding with its brief conjunction with Jupiter in Pisces. All these discussed planetary constellations are somehow tied in with this Solar Eclipse and raise hope for another step in the right direction. True change and evolution happens in miniature steps invisible to the human eye. Astrology is just one way to gain the overview and a deeper understanding over the dynamic of the unfolding of events and history, but a very valid one.

This week’s astrological potential sets the tone for the coming year and ignites hope and a new light of consciousness for the truth of our oneness and divine origin.

I hope you enjoyed this little journey into the mysteries of the universe.

I discuss the actual astrological qualities of the moment and inspire you to use them wisely for a life full of success, joy and inner growth.

Aloha and many blessings, Shakti.

What used to pass as meditation CDs were often just gentle sounds of nature and music. Some may have used musical pieces by Bach and others that have been shown to alter brainwaves. Either of these were basically relaxing recordings which might have helped with meditation, but didn’t induce a meditative state very efficiently.

The newest meditation CDs used brainwave entrainment technologies. They have beats and sounds, usually masked in nice music or the sound of rain or other nature sounds, which directly entrain your brainwaves, causing them to slow. Depending on the frequencies used, they will put you into an alpha state of consciousness or deeper.

They make meditation easy. Put on the headphones, turn on the recording, and then just sit back and listen. Soon your mind is slowing down. In fact, many people will fall asleep within ten minutes when listening laying down. That get’s us to the point of this article. There are several ways to use this technology. Here are three.

Meditation

The primary use that most people have in mind when they think of Meditation CDs is exactly what you would think: They use them to meditate more easily. For this purpose you should get ones that last thirty minutes or more. Some programs have a series of recordings, that start at thirty minutes. Later CDs in the series last longer as well as bringing you down to a deeper state of consciousness.

Normally they are designed to be used with stereo headphones (almost all headphones are stereo now). Laying down may work for some, but if you

Another interesting way to use them is to listen outdoors. This works best if you put the recordings onto an MP3 player. Then you can sit in a nice park or wilderness area, or perhaps in front of a pond, lake or river. Some people also enjoy walking while listening. The meditative state may not be as deep while walking, but it’s a unique experience.

Meditation CDs as a Sleep Aid

As mentioned, listening while laying down often leads to sleep. This isn’t a problem if you choose to use brainwave entrainment for this purpose. If you have insomnia you can put on the headphones and listen to go to sleep at night. For a nice “power nap” you can use a ten or fifteen minute recording.

Meditation CDs For Creativity

Yet another use for these recordings is for stimulating creativity. There are a couple ways to use them for this purpose. First, you can define the problem you’re working on and then have a meditation session using the CD just before going to work on it. This will clear your mind and hopefully leave you open to more creative approaches.

Another technique is to listen to meditation CDs while brainstorming ideas. There is some evidence that we are at our most creative when in the “alpha state” (brainwaves at 8 to 24 hertz). The concentration of working on something may make it more difficult to reach this light meditative state, but it is worth a try.

A mantra is a combination of psychically potent sound syllables that are capable of influencing the human system. It works on different levels of being (from gross to the subtlest)

Mantras as it is defined, is that tool which liberates the mind from bondage, here bondage means ‘the state of identification of the gross mind’. Mind is always identified with the world of idea name, form and objects. At the energetic level the identification leads to dissipation of energy (vikshepa), mind is tied down to the plane of gross sensorial world creating the spectrum of experiences colored by the polar opposites of pains–pleasures, heat-cold, depression-elation etc. Here in these conditions mantras helps to tune the vibrations of mind to the subtler frequencies of mantras and hence helps to internalize it.

According to tantra this whole creation (including the body-mind complex) is the result of spandan (Vibration). When we analyze the structure and dynamics of mind we find that mind is the subtle instrument which is found with vrittis (modification of mind), kleshas (inherent causes of afflictions) and samskaras and vasanas (subtle impressions/tendencies). These subtle factors of the mind are responsible for determining the nature of the manifest contents of the mind, such as thought, feelings, emotions attitudes etc. Different thoughts, feelings and emotions which appear or disappear from the surface of the mind, are the expression of energy. The psychic energy when manifests as thoughts or feelings it could be felt or heard internally. In this light, i

In science we study that the energy and the matter are interconvertible and in the realm of quantum field of energy there is continuous interpermutations of energy particles. Since matter is also an expression of energy (which is gross form of energy or in other word as state of compressed energy), therefore it could be influenced by the other forms of energy, on this principle the phenomenon of mind over matter would be explained. Through mental energy mantras can affect the different levels of being. The sound vibration of mantra filters down the energies of mind and body, until they are completely shaped into the vibrational patterns of mantra and by altering the field of mental energy the gross body is affected.

Psychic dimension of mantra.

Mantras, we know are not the creation of the intellect rather they were experienced by the yogis in their higher state of consciousness. Experiences of the subtle vibrations in higher state were when chanted by them, created mantras, putting it another way the origin of mantras is divine or transcendental. The rishis only heard them as richas, sound frequencies in an organized form. Because they were the result of the experience of the higher consciousness, may transport any one; who practices them to the same space from which they originated. Therefore each mantra in tantra is considered as the embodiment of consciousness (Vigyana rupa) and when mantra is perfected it fully enlivens the samskaras, accumulated experiences of past lives in the form of subtle traces or patterns, and the meaning of the mantra appear to the mind in the form of experiences carried by the mantra.

Therefore, the purpose of mantra is to transcend the mind by purifying the mala, (impurities in the form of thoughts, desires and destructive emotion) and vitalize the thoughts and emotions with the positive energies of the mantra. Different mantras affect the energies of the body-mind complex differently. Each mantra affects a specific energetic centre of the body and through the corresponding centre the associated energy patterns are brought forth or awakened in the body. Once the mantra is awakened in the body, the vibrations generated by the mantra can cleanse the entire energetic network in the body by removing the blockages present in path of the energetic flow (nadi). The purification which takes place at the deeper energetic plane which is the substratum of the body-mind functioning, helps to enhance the efficiency of the different physiological systems and the mental processes. Mantra chanting makes the mind calm and tranquil. Mantra chanting along with the breath awareness develops the ability to control the emotions and develop one-pointed ness. The breath which flows with the vibrations of the mantra is charged with the positive energy of the mantra. The breath with the chanting becomes rhythmic and harmonious, as a result of which the functioning of the physical and the mental systems become harmonized. Emotionally one becomes stable and relaxed. The breath is considered as an important tool to mobilize the energies of the body, therefore when the feelings and the emotions move in the body, they change the patterns/nature of the breath and the converse is also true. From one mental and emotional state to other the patterns of breathing also change and this changes the nature of the flow of energies in the body.

Voice is another important aspect in the mantra chanting which plays an important role in altering the states of the feelings and the moods of the person. Voice is also associated with the state of the mind. The tone of the voice is affected by the mental state of the person. In one of the techniques of the psychotherapy (primal therapy) the individual is treated by releasing the tensions through the voice and the breath. While chanting a mantra, the emotions express themselves in the breath and the voice. Every time the breath is uneven it means the emotions are involved and we are out of balance. Chanting helps us to achieve this stillness by bringing the breath and the emotions under control. As the mantra is chanted moods will in time be brought under control and awareness in the here and will grow attention and therefore energy will be withdrawn from the old thought patterns which like tapes on a tape recorder play over and over. These mental background noises keep us tied to the past and future, to fearful imagining and senseless fantasies which cause self created suffering. This energy will now be channelized and mutated for the higher purposes.  

Components of mantra

Based on the immediate aims the different mantras may have different effects but all the different mantras have these important components.

1. Pronunciation 2. Melody, tune or modulation of voice, 3. Beats

Through these three aspects, mantra creates a definite pattern of the sound vibration. The presence of the above factors creates a suitable environment to alter the consciousness.

Different tones which are produced during the course of chanting utilize the different areas of the body hence affect the energies of the corresponding parts of the body. Specific tones in conjunction with certain tunes or modulations of sound mobilize the energies of specific region of the body. Although, the seat of sound is the vocal cord, but the different tones are produced in conjunction with abdominal, heart or upper parts of the body. The aim of mantra is to harmonize the energies of the body with the energies of the nature.

The practice of mantra chanting is a potent means to initiate the process of pratyahara, by withdrawing the mind from the sensorial dimension to the more subtle dimension of the internal environment and ultimately can lead to the state of transcendental consciousness through the stages of dharana and dhyana. In this state of consciousness, mind reverberates with the timeless or eternal vibrations of the soul. At the psychological level, the chanting of mantra results in diluting the force of attachment of the mind for the senses. It tunes the mind to the patterns of the sound vibrations of mantras as mentioned earlier, hence reducing the pulling tendency of the mind for the senses. Through the chanting, the mind could easily be programmed to become still and steady. The beat cycle which is inherent in the rhythmic pattern of mantra can change the state of consciousness. The beat cycle of mantra affects the state of emotions, mind and at the physical level the beat of heart and respiration. To work better, each mantra is chanted in a particular beat/rhythm. That is the reason why different forms of chanting, with specifically distinct beats and rhythm could affect the energies of the individual differently, inducing a specific mood, feeling or state of mind. Mantra chanting increases will power, the power of concentration and positive emotions. Because of the effects of mantra on creating a positive and uplifting field of energy within, it becomes a powerful fool to stop the dissipation of mental emotional energies and to make the mind one-pointed and relaxed.

I started yoga teaching 10 years ago after completing my Post Graduation in Yoga Psychology from Bihar Yoga Bharati (Deemed University). After completing the study there I started sharing my learning with yoga aspirants, in the same university as Lecturer in the Dept. Of Yoga Psychology. The field of yoga has been an awakening and life transforming experience for me. It opened a completely new perspective to see the reality and participate in the flow of life! And I do believe that every particle in the UNIVERSE is participating and contributing to the eternal flow of life..

Besides cancer and heart diseases, stroke is the third leading cause of death. Approximate 1/4 of all stroke victims die as a direct result of the stroke or it’s complications. According the National Institutes of Health, more than two million Americans suffer long-term disabilities from stroke, costing our society billions of dollar each year.

I. Introduction

1. What is conventional medicine

Conventional medicine is also known as Western medicine. It is a system of medical approach in which medical doctor and other health professionals such as nurses, medical technician, specialists and therapists, etc. use medication, radiation, medical equipments or surgery to treat symptoms of disease and diseases. Most of the times, there is one treatment for the same symptoms for all individuals.

2. What is traditional Chinese medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine also known as TCM, derives from the philosophy of Taoist, in which it beliefs that life and activity of each human beings have an inter-relationship with the environment on all levels. Major theories include those of Yin-yang, the Five elements, the human body meridian channels, Zang Fu organ theory, etc. It treat every individual as one unique entity and there is no one treatment for all, even the same symptoms.

3. Definition of stroke in convention medicine perspective

Stroke is defined as a condition of circulation of blood in any part of the body is blocked, causing oxygen not to be delivered to the brain, resulting in some cells in the brain to die off and

4. Definition of stroke in traditional Chinese medicine

Stroke is defined as a condition of out of whack of internal organs, leading to overwhelming of wind, fire, phlegm, and stasis. As those negative influences of wind evils arise, it upsets the healthy balance of the body. In ancient China, these types of disease were referred as “zhongfeng,” and in English they means “wind stroke.” According to Chinese medicine theory, Stroke not only causes the brain damage but affects the meridians and a number of organs of zang fu.

5. What is raw food diet

The raw food diet is defined as a type of diet of which at least 75% of the daily diet must be unprocessed and uncooked foods or foods can not be heating above 115 degree of Fahrenheit or 40 °C , including fresh fruit and vegetables and raw meats.

II. Types of stroke

A. In conventional medicine perspective

1. Hemorrhage

It is a condition of a artery bursts and bleeds into brain tissues, causing disruption of oxygen supply to cells in some parts of the brain. Because with no oxygen to nourish the cells, the cells die off.

2. Embolus

This is the condition caused by forming of a blood clot which develops due to damage of body tissues and migrates to the other part of the body then blocks the carotid arteries or arteries somewhere else in the body, leading to clots in the small vessels of the brain and disrupts the oxygen supply to certain region of brain causing cells in that region die off.

B. In traditional Chinese medicine perspective

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory divides stroke into two main types:

1. Flaccid type ( from an overall deficiency) is caused by collapse of yang

Yin can be in very excessive state with collapse of yang, causing the rise of extreme cold syndromes that stop the blood flow or allow only a little blood flow to the nervous system, due toheart blood stagnation, leading evil “wind” blocking the channels which are necessary to nourish the cells in the central system.

Depending to the degree of severity

a) In a mild case

Only channels are damaged, the stroke causes only localized paralysis the limbs and deviation of eye and mouth with no loss of consciousness and no coma.

b) In a severe case

In a severe case, large channels or meridians are damaged, the stroke causes generalized paralysis with loss of consciousness, coma and sometimes instant death.

2. Tense type is caused by collapse of yin

Depending to the degree of severity

a) In a mild case, only channels are damaged, the stroke causes only localized paralysis the limbs and deviation of eye and mouth with no loss of consciousness and no coma.

b) In severe case

In a severe case, large channels or meridians are damaged, the stroke causes generalized paralysis with loss of consciousness, coma and sometime instant death.

III. Causes of stroke

A. In conventional medicine perspective

Major causes of stoke include

1. Unhealthy diet

A diet high in saturated and trans fats causes bad cholesterol building up in the blood vessels in the brain, blocking oxygen deliver to the cells, thus increasing the risk of stroke. Also unhealthy diet causes high blood pressure making the heart work harder to pump blood to the body. High blood pressure also causes the blood vessels in your brain to harden and thin, that increases the risk of stroke.

2. Smoking

Smoking not only has a devastating effect on the health of the smoker but also to anyone that inhales its toxic fumes. Cigarettes contain high levels of cadmium that cause the blood to clot activity of cells in result of blocking blood flow and damaging the blood vessels in the brain.

3. Excessive drinking

Moderate drinking is good for your heart, but excessive drinking can raise levels of some fats in your blood causing cholesterol to build up in the arteries and blood vessels in the brain resulting in increase of the risk of stroke.

4. Diabetes

People with diabetes tend to develop heart disease or have strokes at an earlier age than other people. Diabetes with unhealthy diet causes high blood glucose levels that damage nerves and blood vessels, leading to complications such as heart disease and stroke, the leading causes of death among people with diabetes.

5. Obesity – a body mass index of 30 or higher

Study shows that even after adjusting for other stroke risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, smoking, cardiac diseases, moderate alcohol consumption, and physical activity; obesity is still associated with a greatest risk of stroke in men and women.

6. Use of birth control pills

Birth control pills contain estrogen and one of two other hormones, lynestrenol or norethisterone that increase the risk of blood clotting, which can lead to ischemic stroke especially in woman who smoke and who are older than 35.

B. In traditional Chinese medicine perspective

Major causes of stoke include

TCM realizes a stroke occurs and causes bodily damage are complicated and sometimes, it may take over 10 years before striking. There are 4 external and 6 internal factors have been identified

1. The 6 external factors

a) Hypo functioning

Hypo functioning is defined as a condition of that your internal system is no longer respond to the chain reaction function by each organ. It is may be caused by organs damage due to external or internal factors.

b) Over functioning

Over functioning is defined as a condition of which some of the organs in your body over respond to the chain reaction function by producing more essences than necessary. It is may be caused by medication taken or organs damage due to external or internal factors.

c) Improper diet

i) Dairy products

TCM also classifies dairy as damaging to the digestion because it creates dampness and phlegm. that interferes with the flow of energy through the body, leading to stagnation.

ii) Greasy or fried foods

Greasy or fried foods are excessive yang in nature. Overwhelming intake of those kinds of food not only cause fat to accumulated in the abdomen, but also contributes to the production of phlegm. If phlegm combined with liver heat and stagnation produce fire, leading to obstruction of qi flow in the chest.

iii) Refined sugar

Refined sugar is considered cold and dampness in TCM, overwhelming of refined sugar intake weakens the Spleen, slow digestion and depress the immune system.

iv) Alcohol

Prolong period of drinking alcohol damages the liver, leading to collapse of liver qi and blood that effect other organ in essence distribution.

v) Irregular eating habits

vi) Processed ingredient

Processed ingredient is defined as foods that something have been altered or removed. Adding them in our diet can increase the cold, constriction, decency and dampness, making qi flow sluggish and slowing down the stomach and spleen in food absorption.

vii) Cold foods and drinks

Cold foods and drinks cause the temperature in the body to drop and decrease the blood circulation. It may cause heart diseases if there is existence of high blood pressure as the heart has to work harder.

d) Emotional disturbance

Emotional disturbance decrease the heart and liver function in blood circulation and blood formation. Since liver is the primary organ responsible for smooth flow of qi for the entire body, emotional disturbance suppresses the qi flow gradually, over a prolong period of time it causes qi and blood stagnation, leading to abnormal blood flow, thus increasing the risk of stroke.

e) Aging

Aging is a natural and biological process, no one can stop it, bur we can delay it by paying attention to the food we eat and preventing any activity which may speed up the process. In TCM as we age

i) The Spleen and stomach no longer function normally in digesting and transporting the energy to our body, leading to nutrients deficiency in nourishing other organs.

ii) Kidney and liver

Deficiency of kidney and liver due to aging causes yin and yang imbalance that interferes with the function of blood formation and qi circulation, etc.

iii) Heart

Deficiency of heart yang causes heart fluid building up, leading spontaneous sweating.

heart qi deficiency causes blood deficiency and weakness of yang qi, that disrupts the blood circulation.

iv) Etc.

As we age. our body works just like a old car, it will never work like when it is new, no matter how much money we spend to maintain it.

f) Excessive sexual activity

TCM believes that a healthy, moderate amount of sex supports a good flow of Qi and excessive sexual activity depletes the qi, blood and kidney jing (essence).

2.The 6 internal factors

a) Yin and qi deficiency

Yin is responsible for moistening and cooling bodily organs and functions. Typical American diet depletes the body yins and generates heat caused by a lack of the moistening and cooling functions that are necessary to maintain a healthy balance.

Qi flows around your body in a series of meridian pathways. deficiency of yin, leading to heat interferes with qi flow along the series of meridian channels to transport energy that not only causes blood deficiency, but also increases the risk of rebellion wind attacking the body organs and tissues.

b) Liver-fire and heart-fire

Prolong deficiency of qi can weaken the lung qi, causing heart Qi deficiency, leading to stagnation of Qi, thus increasing the risk of heart fire.

Liver fire is caused by over intake of coffee, alcohol, sugar, hormone accumulated in the blood due to intake of hormone injection products, prolong period of sadness. etc., leading to liver qi stagnation, resulting in liver fire.

c) Wind evils

If the wind often combines with heat, it causes”wind-heat”due to symptoms of heat excesses. as a result of heart, liver, or kidneys qi imbalances, causing inner-wind injury” such as fainting, weakness, nervous spasms, blurry vision, etc.

d) Stagnant qi flow

Energy can’t not move freely due to excessive heat, causing heart and liver fire that contributes major health problems.

e) Blood stasis

Blood staganation is normal accompanied with qi stagnation. as qi is necessary for blood circulation, stagnation of qi can not move the blood freely, leading to the over hard working heart, resulting in hypertension.

f) Accumulation of phlegm

Phlegm is caused by fire heating up the internal moister, obstructing the flow of Qi and disturbing the ascent and descent of qi of zang fu organs.

IV. Symptoms of Stroke

A. In conventional medicine

Here are some symptoms of strokes:

1. Sudden trouble in standing

Sudden trouble in standing is an early symptom of stroke as a result of circulation of blood that carries oxygen to suddenly deplete caused by narrowing of arteries and high blood pressure.

2. Dizziness and loss of balance

The brain coordinates information from the eyes, the inner ear, and the body’s sense to maintain balance. If the cells of that part of the brain get damaged in result of depleted oxygen will cause dizziness and loss of balance.

3. Sudden confusion

A sudden onset of confusion means that something is potentially going wrong with the brain. Almost all conditions that affect the brain are life-threatening. It might be caused by a tumor or low levels of oxygen in the cells of the cerebral cortex in your brain that affect your ability to think with your usual speed or clarity. It might also be caused by lowered blood sugar, as is the case of diabetes.

4. Having trouble speaking and understanding

Having trouble speaking and understanding occurs when the brain cells in the area of the broca, wernicke and angular ayrus in the left hemisphere area begin to die because they stop getting the oxygen and nutrients they need to function.

6. Sudden severe headaches

Headache is a condition of pain in the head, sometimes neck or upper back pain may also be interpreted as a headache. It ranks amongst the most common local pain complaints and may be frequent for many people but sudden severe headaches may be caused by an early symptom of heart disease as we mentioned in previous articles, by rupturing a brain vessel or depletion of oxygen in some parts of the brain.

7. Sudden trouble seeing

This may be an early indication of stroke when the oxygen in the blood supply to the part of the brain is suddenly interrupted or when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, spilling blood into cells that control the vision area of the cerebral cortex in the brain.

B. In traditional Chinese medicine

The syndrome is caused by factors mentioned above

a) Bleeding

Bleeding is caused by heat and dryness due to yin deficiency and liver heat that causes breaking off the small vessel in the body.

b) Headache Slight or none Severe

Headache in this case is caused by deficiency of liver blood and heart’s inability to move move blood freely, leading to obstruction of blood flow to the central nervous system.

c) Nausea/Vomiting

Due to stomach and Spleen’s inability to digest food caused by overwhelming of heat in the body.

d) Stiff neck

Stiff neck is caused by a slowdown in the circulation (stagnation) of blood and energy in the area due to qi and blood stagnation as we mentioned in the causes of stroke.

e) Loss of Mental Capacity Slight, short period of time

Due to inadequate blood flow to the central nervous system in a very short period of time due to wing heat slow attacking the cells in the nervous system.

e) Paralysis One part of the body

In this case, it is caused by mild case of stroke.

f) Leg cramp during restful position

It is caused by not enough blood or blood is blocked by up ward tendency of wind heat.

d) Constipation

Due to dry up of fluid in the body as a result of kidney yin and spleen qi deficiency.

e) Rapid pulse

The heart has to harder that creates a tension in the blood vessel due to blood deficiency and blood heat.

g) Etc.

V. Diagnosis

A. In conventional medicine perspective

If you have a above symptoms, you should talk to your doctor immediately. Here are some diagnosis

1. Computerized tomography

A special x-ray test called a CT scan of the brain to check for any bleeding or masses within the brain. It can be completed within a few minutes.

2. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

the use of magnetic waves rather than x-rays to image the brain, it produces a much more detailed image than those of CT and takes more than an hour to complete.

3. MRA (magnetic resonance angiogram)

It is used to view the blood vessels without using tubes or injections.

4. Diffusion weighted imaging (DWI)

It is used to detect the area of abnormality minutes after the blood flow to a part of the brain has ceased.

5. Computerized tomography with angiography

By injecting dye into a vein in the arm, it produces a image of the blood vessels in the brain that provides your doctor with information of aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations and any abnormalities of brain blood flow in that area.

6. Conventional angiogram:

A long catheter tube with injecting dye inserts into an artery (through the groin area), the conventional angriogram delivers some of the most detailed images of the blood vessel anatomy.

7. Carotid Doppler ultrasound

A carotid Doppler ultrasound method uses sound waves to screen for narrowing and decreased blood flow in the carotid artery.

8. Heart tests

A microphone device places on the chest or puts down the esophagus to view the heart chambers. It is similar to a regular electrocardiogram (EKG), but the electrode stickers remain on the chest for 24 hours or more for identifying a faulty heart rhythm.

9. Blood tests

A blood test is used to check for potential infection, anemia, kidney function, and electrolyte abnormalities

B. In traditional Chinese medicine

In TCM, stroke is caused by a series of problem, the diagnosis is always follow the below procedures

a) Asking

You life style will be recorded through a series of question.

b) Observing

Your physical appearance will be observed carefully, including your face, eye, tongue, etc.

c) Smelling

Your breath, you body.

d) Listening

Your tone, the choices of word, volume of your voice, the sound of your breath, etc.

e) Feeling

Your pulse is read, your temperature is taken.

By combining all the information from above, your TCM practitioner will determine what is the causes of your problem? and treat it accordingly by restoring the disharmonization in your body. Most people suspect with stroke will likely to diagnosis with kidney and spleen deficiency, leading to deficiencies of qi, blood, and yin resulting in overwhelming of wind, phlegm, fire, and stagnation, including liver yang excessive and rising, stagnation of qi or blood, phlegm combining with fire, liver wind, or wind attacking meridians.

VI. What is a typical American diet

Below is the top 10 food groups contributing to energy intake in U.S. Population according to National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES).

10    Fruit, juice    3.9    74.2    10    Fats & oils    4.0    76.3

A. In conventional medicine perspective

1. Too many calories

We have eaten either calories or too much high calories’ foods that lead to overweight and promote all kinds of diseases including diabetes and heart diseases and stroke.

2. Too much unsaturated fat and trans fat

While unsaturated fat is considered so so as it inceases both LDL and HDL, trans fat increases bad cholesterol ( LDL) and decreases level of good cholesterol (HDL), leading to cholesterol and triglycerides accumulated in the arteries that block the blood transportation as well as increasing the plague build up on the arterial wall, thus elevating the risk of breaking off of the small vessel.

3. Sugar and Sweetener

Sugar and sweetener get into our blood stream quickly that increases the risk of fluctuation of insulin. Prolong period of eating them causes hormone imbalance and damages the the receptor sites and pancreas function in regulating the blood sugar.

4. Beverages and Alcohol

Beverage contains high amount of artificial sugar and ingredients that were proven to damage the pancreas in insulin regulation and interferes with our body in hormone secretion. Alcohol besides causing nervous tension and damaging the circulatory system, it may damage the liver, causing immune dysfunction and decreasing the liver in synthesis carbohydrate and fat and protein metabolism.

5. Low vegetables and fruits

Vegetables and fruits contains high amount of nutrients that are necessary for supporting our body daily activity. Deficiency causes wide range of health diseases.

6. Low essential nutrient

We eat too much junk foods that not only cause weigh gain, but also nutrient deficiency.

B. In Chinese medicine perspective

1. Too much Saturated at and trans fat

a) Oily and greasy food after entering the stomach, it divides into 2 parts, the food qi flows upward and absorbed by the Spleen and the pulp is digested by stomach and the essence also absorbed by the Spleen. Too much saturated and trans fat cause energy overflow and excess energy (yang) are deposited in the waist area, leading to weight gain and affect circulation of qi.

b) Saturated fat and trans fat are yang pathogen and hot in nature, prolong period intake of these kinds of food causes excessive yang in the body and digestive disorder, leading to a domino effects, causing disharmonization in the body ecosystem. It may cause stroke, depending where the evil wind strikes ?

2. Refined product, artificial ingredient and cold drinks

Refined product, artificial ingredient and cold drinks are yin pathogen and cold in nature. As the body is dried up due to excessive yang, cold foods cause heat building up in the body, leading to the development of wind, the deadly element for the stroke and other kinds of disease.

VII. How the typical American diet increases the risk of stroke

A. In conventional medicine perspective

As cholesterol and triglycerides building up in the bloodstream, obstructing the blood circulation, the hear has to work harder, causing high blood pressure if there is any disruption of blood caused blood to be blocked somewhere in the body or disruption of small vessel in the brain that obstructs the oxygen transportation to the brain cells and they die off, causing stroke.

B. In Chinese medicine perspective

Too much saturated fat, trans fat, beverages, alcohol, sugar and sweetener

In traditional Chinese medicine, Spleen is an organ in charge of the digestive function and energy absorption, too much fat and trans fat cause excess energy deposited in the waist area, leading to abnormal weight gain. Since fat and trans fat are considered are extreme yang pathogen and hot in nature, PROLONG PERIOD of EATING THEM will cause yin deficiency and dry heat.

They heat up the stomach after entering and dry up the moister that is necessary for food digestion, leading to heat accumulated in the stomach and intestines,causing thirst, abdominal fullness, distension and pain, constipation or hemorrhoids, etc. Excessive intake of hot food over prolong periods of time disturbs the balance of Spleen and stomach and affects conception and governing meridian in regulating the yin and yang energy in the body accordingly and subsequently the penetrating meridian. As the body no longer can adjust with the excessive yang combined with the damp cold (cold drinks, refined products and artificial ingredients) , it leads to development of wind, causing the stroke.

In some cases, stroke may be caused by an insufficiency of liver-yin due to the dryness of the blood as the heat move the wind upward that affects the meridians and obstructs orifices, leading to stagnation fof qi and blood, causing stroke.

In short, prolong period of time intake of hot and cool may dis-harmonize our body as our organs no long can adjust to excessive building up of yin and yang, that in turn obstructs the qi flow in the meridian and causes blood stagnation in the zang fu organs, depending what is diagnosed ? and what organ has been damage the most ?, it causes stroke, heart diseases or others.

VII. How raw food diet reduces the risk of heart diseases and stroke

A. In conventional medicine perspective

1. Nutrients and enzymes

Raw foods contain high levels of vitamins and minerals than cook foods, because heat causes the loss of nutrients and destroying enzymes.

2. Reducing cholesterol and triglycerides

raw foods contains high amount of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat that reduces the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides and increase the levels of good cholesterol (HLD), thereby reducing the risk of cholesterol building up in the blood stream.

3. Reducing blood pressure

As the blood vessels now clear up, our heart do no need to harder to pump blood, thereby decreasing the risk of high blood pressure and breaking off the small blood vein in the body.

4. Reduce cholesterol and triglycerides

raw foods contains high amount of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fat that reduces the levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides and increase the levels of good cholesterol (HDL), thereby reducing the risk of cholesterol building up in the blood stream.

5. Etc.

B. In traditional Chinese medicine

Since raw food is considered as yin pathogen and cool in nature. Although TCM has never recommended the uses of raw foods to treat people with yin deficiency or excessive yang present, introducing cool foods is always one of the treatment. As raw food continuously reduces the level of excessive yang due to typical American diet, it decreases the risk of development of wind, thus decreasing the risk of stroke. Believe it or not, one day raw food diet will bring the body back to harmonize (balance of yin and yang, it may take a long time). I believe that is the time you must forgo the intake of raw food and replace it by more balancing foods to prevent the excessive yin and yang deficiency symptoms.

Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness and may also be known as hypnotic suggestion or hypnotherapy. The hypnotic state of consciousness is very different from your day to day state of awareness and is typically achieved through the aid of a hypnotherapist. When one is under hypnosis, his attention tends to be more focused, he becomes more responsive to suggestions and becomes less critical and more open.
