<br>
In &quot;The Book of Secrets,&quot; Deepak Chopra updates the Vedic spiritual paths in a way which aligns these paths with the modern Western lifestyle.
<br>
<br>
According to the Vedic tradition, each person can choose from four paths to unity consciousness. The word &#39;yoga&#39; is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning
&quot;union with God.&quot; The four paths, or yogas, seek unity through thinking, feeling, acting and being.

Deep in each human heart is a memory, a simple and powerful one. It is the memory of sanity. We are each the product of millions of years of evolution. We
carry inside of us, many ancient knowings and understandings.

The remembrance of the Goddess is held in the hearts of humanity. She has begun to re-emerge.

Our comfort zones are sure to get rattled during the facedown between Saturn and Pluto -- this month and beyond. Beginning right now, in November 2009, this
powerful influence will act as the Cosmic Boot -- it may kick you off the foundation you&#39;re standing on, if that foundation doesn&#39;t support your

<br>
An energy field surrounds everything. Energy pulses out from objects, interacting with and absorbing other energies. A person&#39;s energy field, commonly
called an aura, is generated inside the body and extends outward to surround it. Understanding the electrical and magnetic nature of energy is important to
understanding healing.

The energy field you generate is created by your beliefs and thoughts. Like a radio tower,... ]]></description>

<br>
Coming on the heels of the James Arthur Ray/Sedona fiasco, I noticed that there&#39;s a lot of outrage about the fact that Ray was charging almost $10,000 a
pop for people to attend his sweatlodge retreat. That&#39;s a lot of money, especially considering that there were 64 participants -- you don&#39;t have to be
a genius to do the math on this one.

<br>
Dance is certainly an ancient ritual practice. It&#39;s also a magical act, for physical movement releases energy from the body, the same energy used in magic.
This &quot;secret&quot; was discovered early, and so dance was incorporated into magick and ritual to raise energy, to alter consciousness or simply to honor
the Goddess and God with ritual performances.

Group dances such as the spiral dance, are often performed in coven... ]]></description>
