Discovering Your Home’s Brain Wave
AVE YOU C O N S I D -ERED the idea that your home is filled with living
energy? And that the energy of your home is either positive or negative? When you become aware of the energy of your home, you can begin to understand how the energy of your home is affecting your sleep, your relationships, your ability to focus, your ability to stay energized and even your ability to stay healthy.
ENERGY OF HOME CALLED BRAIN WAVE OF HOME The energy or vibration of your home creates what is called the “brain wave of the
home” and this vibrational field will affect everyone living in it. For example, when you spend time in nature, at a cathedral or temple, or any place where you felt absolute lightness, you left feeling renewed, refreshed and inspired. This happens in places that allow a great amount of light into the space and are ’ vibrating’ at a higher level. The places in nature vibrate at an alpha brain wave while many of the cathedrals and temples vibrate at a delta brain wave.
BRAIN WAVES ENTRAIN TO YOUR ENVIRON By spending time in these places, you are uplifted to a higher vibration and you
begin to feel different. The reason you feel different is because the brain waves or vibration of the place is having a positive impact on you. Your brain waves begin to resonate with the brain waves of the space you are in. By contrast, dark, dense places can have the exact opposite effect on us and these are usually the places we avoid because they ‘feel creepy.’ These places are not connected to a higher vibra-tion and therefore, not much light enters these areas. If you stayed there long enough, you would eventually begin to feel dark and heavy. Feelings of depression and hopelessness would begin to set in. These are not the places we ever want to spend time in!

Perhaps your home doesn’t have these extreme vibrations, but different rooms within your home may have different vibrations. Perhaps you have a room where everyone loves to be, or a chair or sofa that everyone fights to sit in.
On the other hand, perhaps you have a room that feels dark and collects clutter. Each time you go into the room to clean it, you become tired, cranky and frustrated. Would you feel relieved to know that it’s the vibration of the room and not you?
What is creating these different spaces are various types of energy, either of the earth or from electricity, cell towers, etc.
DOWSING CLEARS STRESS LINES Through the technique of dowsing, stress lines can be cured and positive energy can be enhanced, raising the vibration of your home and creating a space where every room supports you and your family and their health and happiness.

Ganoderma Mushroom Is Nature’s Miracle
ANODERMA L U C I D U M is a rare m u s h r o o m with shiny red skin. It’s
known as the red reishi in Japan and lingzhi in China. For over 4,000 years it has been recog-nized by Chinese medical pro-fessionals as the highest ranked of all herbs found in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. It has many benefits because it works completely on the body. It enhances and promotes the strengthening of your natural immune system and balances the body and as a result is helpful for a wide range of health issues. Cardiovascular benefits include the inhibition of platelet aggregation and reduction of blood pressure.
Blood sugar balance is thought to occur because of its ability to elevate plasma insulin levels, enhancement of periph-eral tissue utilization of blood sugar and the enhancement of the liver’s metabolism of blood sugar. Research also demonstrates that it prevents tissue degen-eration and in turn avoids the occurrence of various diseases. It also has anti-aging properties and is believed to aid in longev-ity. It aids in the improvement of blood circulation which then promotes healing. It is useful in detoxification of the body and rejuvenation of cells and this may result in weight loss. It is packed with over 150 all-natu-ral antioxidants that fight free radicals.
THREE FORMS OF GANODERMA Ganoderma Mycelium is a product of the reishi mushroom when it is root form. In this stage it has positive effects on the human brain and is also an immune system enhancer. Ganoderma Lucidum is a product of reishi mushroom when it is in its mature state. There is a long list of benefits associated with the mushroom in this form including anti-allergen, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It also balances pH levels in the body and has a regenerating effect on the skin. Ganoderma Spores are like the “seed” of the mushroom in this form it is 17 times more powerful than Ganoderma

Lucidum. Once again, there is a long list of health benefits in this form including balancing blood sugar, improving pan-creatic function, protection against degeneration of skin cells, reduction of fatigue and increase in vitality, improved digestion, reduction of choles-terol and fat, as well as would healing. The way Ganoderma in all three forms is grown and har-vested is essential for a quality product that you can gain benefit from. It can be grown in plastic bags in a controlled lab environment or it can be grown on logs, the way it grows in its
natural environment. Since plastic bags are an unnatural way to grow the mushroom, it is unable to produce spores so when purchasing Ganoderma it is important to make sure it was grown in its natural form on logs. Ganoderma Mycelium, Lucidum and Spores are avail-able in capsules, coffee or tea.

N S H A M A N I C P R A C T I C E , summer is the season of growth and expan-sion. Spring seeds have germinated into plants
that soak up the heat of the sun, the moisture of the rain, and the raw materials of life from the earth. Some varieties mature quickly for numerous harvests while others may take weeks to reach fulfillment. There is a natural flow to the energy of growth and we are all a part of it, even if only subconsciously.
SHAMANISM ADAPTS TO THE MODERN LIFESTYLEThe same takes place in our own lives as we constantly adjust to the stresses of living in our civi-
lized society. Mind you, the old times were plenty stressful too! Simpler maybe, but no less stressed. We are all individu-als who have different needs, wants, demands and desires and we are all looking for that magic method that will help us expand and grow. Oh yes, and we want it now! It’s a good thing that there is a spiritual practice called shamanism that takes this all into account. Shamanism is the oldest spiritual practice known to humankind, so it is pretty amazing that it adapts so well to our ‘modern’ ways. The flow of shamanism is all about balance and harmony. Nomadic tribes knew every intimate detail of their envi-ronment but deferred to the Shaman, who was able to access
knowledge from the spirits to ensure survival and prosperity. Now, in our global commu-nity, you can be surrounded by the complex speed of data and communication yet still be very aware of the vital energy of the lives around you. Modern shamanic practice is a way of connecting with the spirit in all things and honoring our ancient ties to each other and our environment. The techniques of the shamanic journey, once the sole domain of the tribal Shaman, have been quickly learned and adopted by contemporary men and women seeking the guidance and advice of their own helping spirits. These techniques show that

the core shamanic experience is really simple, timeless, and uni-versal.
SHAMANISM IS PRACTICAL It is also practical! In sha-manism, the concept of empow-erment is giving an individual the means to access their own spiritual guidance with the aid of compassionate, helping spirits. Whatever it is you seek, whether information, healing, problem-solving, or the devel-opment of your own spirituality, the practice of shamanism gives you the power to fulfill that need for yourself. But empower-ment also implies the responsi-bility to act on the guidance you are given from the spirits. They are here to help, but only you can effect change and growth in your life by taking back your power and applying it.
As a shamanic practitioner and Avatar Master, Mary Stof-fel works with both people and their animal companions to help restore spiritual balance and personal power. Her 12-month Shamanic Practice Training Program starts in September. She also teaches shamanic journeying based on her book “The Practical Power of Shamanism: Heal Your Life, Loves and Losses.” Contact Mary 763-444-8146; ml s to f f e l@innovatord . com; w w w . h u m a n i m a l . c o m ; www.practicalshamanism.com

HAD THE oppor-tunity to do a Five Tibetans Workshop at a yoga studio in North Carolina. As we gathered in the
building’s foyer, a man entered, looked around, and asked where the “five Tibetans” were. It became something of a joke as the afternoon went along. He had, perhaps, expected to find five monastic monks in their robes and regalia ready to teach him yoga. Instead he found me: A middle-aged woman in black stretch pants and a T-shirt. This story serves to introduce The
Five Tibetans, not a “who” they are but a “what.” The Five Tibetans are leg-endary yoga-like postures reportedly part of the daily practice of monastic monks in Tibet, who performed the five exercises to balance the energy of the chakras and to enhance vigor and vitality. The history of the Five Tibetans is as much lore as it is truth. In 1939, an American by the name of Peter Kelder pub-lished a small book called “The Eye of Revelation” in which he gave accounts of his experi-ences with a retired British army
Colonel Bradford. As the story goes, Colonel Bradford had been a physically debilitated man in his 60s when he had dis-appeared with his walking cane into the wilds of Tibet searching for what he had been told was the ancient fountain of youth. The colonel’s discovery turned out to be a set of exercises he called “The Rites of Rejuvena-tion,” five exercises that on a daily basis can, quite literally, set back the aging process.

THE FIVE TIBETANS AND HATHA YOGA The Five Tibetans do not have names; they are simply called First, Second, and so on. The Five Tibetans differ from Hatha yoga in that rather than holding a pose for an extended time, Tibetans Two to Five are performed as a series of rhythmic repetitions. The First Tibetan is an outlier of sorts but is still executed as a set of rep-etitions. Newcomers generally begin with three repetitions of each of the poses and add rep-etitions until reaching the sug-gested number of 21. The length of time a pose is held depends on personal goals. In each repetition of a Five Tibetan posture, you inhale as you “fold” and exhale as you relax back into the start position.
This pattern of breathing is opposite to that of Hatha yoga, where the exhalation occurs on the “fold.”
NOT AN EXERCISE PROGRAM Do not approach the Five Tibetans as an exercise program. I ask that, because I, as a former gym enthusiast, understand that exercise programs may have a different focus and culture than seem fitting for the Five Tibetans. Exercise programs can spur feelings of competitiveness and self-aggrandizement. When you take on a daily practice of the Five Tibetans, you are not in competition with yourself or anyone else. The practice is not meant to be about seeing how many repetitions can be done in how little time.
Performing the Five Tibetans, as with any yoga, is about a balance of mind and body and spirit. I consider my daily experience with the poses to be sacred. My mat, then, is a sacred space where I treat the Five Tibetans like my closest friends and confidants. They have been with me during dif-ficult and growth-producing times. I guarantee if you stick with them, you will feel your body increase in strength and stamina. And I encourage you to allow the process to proceed gently, from a place of spirit and balance and love.
