by Manmohan Singh

Sacred Sexuality With A Divine Consort

by Rabbi Allen S. Maller

Solomon’s Song of Songs begins with: “Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is more delightful than wine.” (1:1-2) Who is this bold, assertive female? What does she desire from her lover? How and why is this book of love song poems, so unlike the Book of Psalms, in our Sacred Scriptures? (more…)

How does nature communicate with us?

By Sara Wiseman

We all know that the animal world communicates with us: we have either experienced this directly in our own lives, or seen it happening with others.

Sometimes, this level of communication is astounding: we have all heard the tale of a school of dolphins saving a person struggling in rough surf; the elephant that cries upon being rescued from chains; the dog who welcomes a family member home.

These are beautiful, heartwarming methods of communication with other mammals: our species, part of our extended family.

Sometimes, the way we communicate with animals is mystic: the wild deer or cougar or eagle who appears seemingly out of nowhere as totem, sent by the Universe to provide a clear and direct sign. Even the reptilian world shows up to give us Universal direction: the snake on the path in a region where there are no snakes.

But does the non-animal, non-reptilian world—by this I mean the sentient plant world—communicate directly with us? (more…)

Do you have a daily spiritual practice? Why it does—and doesn’t—matter

By Sara Wiseman

One of my favorite questions to ask people is this: Do you have a spiritual belief system?

Most people are happy to talk very clearly about their relationship to God/One/All/Divine/Universe, or whatever name they might use for the infinite ineffable.

It is lovely to hear profound, well-considered manifestos from people all over the globe.

 “I used to be this religion, now I follow my own path.”

“I believe in God, but not the way I learned it as a kid.”

“I know there are Divine being who help us.”

“I believe I am fully supported by the Universe.”

“I don’t know what I know, but I know there is more than me.”

“Everything is one infinite soul.”

And on and on. I love these statements of belief!

But my next question: Do you have a spiritual practice? often meets with a sort of head-hung, I’m-so-ashamed kind of response. (more…)

Yoga: The Best Activity to Bring Balance In Life

by Manmohan Singh

Summary: Learn more about the yoga poses to maintain balance and equilibrium in your life.

Have you ever thought of driving a car which has more air in the right tyre and less on the left? Definitely, no one would like to drive a car like this as it reduces efficiency and leads to wear and tear of the car. Similar is the case with our bodies. Work pressure, hectic lives, overexertion creates an imbalance in life.

When we favor one side of the body more and continue to utilize it more than the other, blood circulation and muscles adjust themselves to reinforce the way body works. This is the main cause of body aches and neck pains that several individuals experience in their daily life. Moreover, we experience endless emotions in a day from angry to a feeling of joy to a sudden feeling of frustration and the list goes on. A restless mind goes on an uncontrolled emotional ride which hampers our confidence, ability to perceive things and so much more. The nagging neck pain, wandering mind, and fluctuating emotions are signs of imbalance which can be corrected through the science of yoga. (more…)

Ayurveda and Yoga, Ancient Sister Sciences

by Manmohan Singh

Summary: Find out how Yoga and Ayurveda are integrally related disciplines and why following the principles of the two in consonance will bring you the best of mind-body benefits.

Revelation for Yoga practitioners interested in Ayurveda in one of their courses—the tattvas in yoga and the panchamahabhuta in Ayurveda are concepts that are one and the very same! This simply sums up the integral connection between these two great sciences of Vedic origin, doesn’t it?

Through the prism of Yoga-Ayurveda, the universe is a composite of the Five Elements, which are also Five Qualities and every individual is an upholder of these in varying proportions. In that regard, wellness through the vehicle of yoga-ayurveda is a system of checks and balances upon these elements present in a being, regulated mainly through one’s lifestyle choices. If you feel a problem, you are prescribed a slow but holistic lifestyle shift, one which is appropriate for your unique Ayurvedic constituency and this, in turn, must compliment your efforts in yoga.

The conjugal approach of Ayurveda and Yoga in healing and wellness therefore becomes a formula of ideal diet, mind-body exercise, and self-discipline— (more…)
