Ayurvedic Health Advice to Suit You The world is as we are ...
T
he human mind has the ability to perceive life from the most subtle level of the Unified field to the seemingly non-changing level of everyday life. How we experience the world depends on how refined our machinery of perception is. Last month I spent a month meditating with a group of about 800 people, in Iowa in the midwest of the USA that was established for the purpose of creating peace for America and the world. The Vedic technology of transcending allows the awareness to go beyond all the superficial levels of life to experience the underlying unity present at the depths of creation. Regular experience of this state enlivens the inner strength of consciousness, waking up the awareness of our connectedness to everything else in the universe and beyond. By contacting the source of creation the individual experiences more support from their surroudings. It is a way of reminding yourself that everything is just an aspect of you and why wouldn’t I be helpful to myself instead of creating obstacles. This experience also structures the awareness that everyone is also an aspect of myself and the more this is Wendy Rosenfeldt
enlivened in collective consciousness the greater the impossibility of conflict is because why would I hurt myself. From the bubble of peace in Iowa I went to the bright lights of Las Vegas. From people having celestial experiences by going within I encountered a place where you can be excited or agitated through every sense. Characterised by bright lights and sensory overload, Las Vegas offers a totally different kind of freedom. You can gamble everywhere including the service stations and the airport, buy guns, attend strip shows and, as advertised everywhere, get bail or a half price lawyer if you get into trouble. What we put our attention on grows. When we go inward we wake up our connectedness to the universe and foster the sense of inner fulfilment. In contrast when we live a life dominated by sensory pleasure we become disconnected from the source of life. We chase happiness in the material world with little control over our circumstances devoid of understanding our part in the creation of our reality. An agitated individual is like a wave on the ocean in a storm, crashing against all the other waves. For a wave to experience its source it has to settle down and then it becomes one with the ocean. For the mind to experience its unity with creation it also has to settle down.

Are you feeling fat and fatigued...?
FEELING OVERWEIGHT as well as a general sense of mental and physical fatigue is a common health problem but is easily corrected if you can identify the causes of this unwellness. In fact a tired body combined with one that is storing fat is a sure sign of imbalances in your carbohydrate and fat metabolism. Specifically, this will often relate to certain carbohydrate intolerances. Ask yourself do you have symptoms of Carbohydrate Intolerance such as • sleepiness after meals • bloating after meals • cravings for sweets or caffeine • hungry a lot • stress easily • feel depressed (non motivated) • feel moody (irritable a lot) • feel unfit. If you find that you fit into this picture, and especially if
you are struggling with your weight, you’d be wise to get to the cause of the problems. These are what I find to be the most common causes of the above problems but these have to be diagnosed • toxic liver and gut • blood sugar problems • an overall acidic system • insulin imbalances that set up weight gain and fat storage • nutritional imbalances • hormonal imbalances. Get these causes fixed and your health improves. You start to feel and look great, you lose some weight, and you feel better about yourself. With a bit of work you can’t lose on this investment.

SHOWER OR TWO arrived in the first couple of days of October from a surface trough. This brought a welcome relief to some of the shallow rooted plants showing signs of stress; especially after a dry September. Thick fog covered the Ranges on the first day of the month; with smoke over the following few days. This was slow to dissipate due to a temperature inversion covering the Ranges. Mid-month there was a dramatic week of weather change with hot and cold days and gale force winds. The hottest
day was on Wednesday with 28.4°C. Saturday was the coolest when the temperature dropped to 7°C on Saturday 13th. On Wednesday gale force winds were gusting to over 60kph. Thunder clouds rolled in on Thursday with a storm cell overhead at 1.20pm precipitating 22mm. The final two weeks of the month was mostly dry with total rainfall of 43mm. representing 63mm below average. Maximum temperatures in the penultimate week of the month were four degrees above average; peaking with32.6°C on Monday 22nd.
