 Chakras Colours And Chakras In The Human Body By Diwakar Vashist. Yoga is probably the only system that uses the physical body as a vehicle to reach the highest stage of spiritual consciousness. Yoga believes it is the spinal column that holds the secret path to knowledge and liberation. This is supposed to contain three nadis or channels called Ida, Pingala and Sushumna.
In an ordinary human being, the Sushumna is closed and only the Ida and Pingala, which correspond to the left and right nostrils, operate. He spinal cord has the following chakras or wheels situated over its length.
Modern physics the established that every colour has a certain frequency wavelength and energy associated with it. Therefore, the colour we absorb affects our nervous and endocrine system, and eventually the release of hormones and other organic substances within the human body. |

 It's Capitalism! Conscious Capitalism - Another View By Susan Boskey. Conscious capitalism has been touted as a moral transformation of capitalism, going beyond the social responsibility of capitalism to increase shareholder profit. According to Patricia Aburdene, author of Megatrends 2010: The Rise of Conscious Capitalism:
"We've now become conscious of the uncalculated social, economic, and environmental costs of that kind of ‘unconscious' capitalism. And many are beginning to practice a form of ‘conscious capitalism,' which involves integrity and higher standards, and in which companies are responsible not just to shareholders, but also to employees, consumers, suppliers, and communities. Some call it "stakeholder capitalism." |

 Organic Food Organic Food vs. Genetic Engineering By Denise Palmer. It's always helpful to step back and take a look at things from an objective perspective, especially when we are personally involved.
Creating and sustaining an organic lifestyle means we are in the "center" of that activity, daily. Among all the other things going on in our daily lives, as moms, we are also trying to develop new habits for our family in regards to their health and well being.
So I thought it would be helpful for us all, myself included, to just take a step or two back and revisit the basic questions and reasons why we are pursuing an organic lifestyle to begin with. |
