Join us on Facebook: Morya FederationINVITATION Letter
Dear Students of the Ageless Wisdom and Servers of Humanity,
It is with great joy and a sense of keen spiritual expectation that we inform you of the Morya Federation of Esoteric Schools of Meditation. Morya Federation is an international, Internet-based esoteric school.
The Federation's main course of study is the comprehensive curriculum given by the Tibetan Master, Djwhal Khul, in a chapter on the Future Schools, in His book, Letters on Occult Meditation. He predicts the future appearance of fourteen schools of meditation (seven preparatory and seven advanced schools) in certain specific countries. These schools will offer humanity a notable portion of the illumination which Hierarchy is seeking to bestow during the Aquarian Age. While these schools of meditation cannot yet be established precisely according to Master DK's lofty standards and specifications, a significant beginning can be made in the attempt to approach the program of meditation He suggests.
It is clear to those who ponder what the Master has said in LOM that in such future schools, not only must meditation be deep, skillful and prolonged, but study must be profound, and service to humanity expressed wisely and with a loving-heart. Thus, are the three aspects of divinity expressed in the ideal school program.
Sensing the pressing opportunity arising at this critical period in the history of humanity, a number of experienced students of the Trans-Himalayan Wisdom have combined forces, creating the Morya Federation to offer sincere and self-disciplining students of the Ageless Wisdom the opportunity to deepen their understanding of the Master DK's voluminous writings and to relate them to the great works of other theosophically inspired authors such as Helena Blavatsky (HPB), author of The Secret Doctrine; Helena Roerich, amanuensis for the Agni Yoga Books inspired by Master Morya, and, other significant authors in the field of philosophical esotericism. As well, we welcome newer students who may not have a background in this line of teaching but who are drawn to a synthetic program of esoteric study and meditation. The goal—to help create soul-illumined servers of humanity—servers inspired by love, will and spiritual intelligence.
The Morya Federation and Emerging Esoteric Colleges and Academies
The keynotes of the Morya Federation are depth, comprehensiveness and synthesis (both in meditation and study) and our practical emphasis is upon service to our fellow human beings. The Morya Federation is called a "Federation", because a number of emerging and existent esoteric schools and colleges are affiliated with it, and it with them. Among these, the Christ College of Himalayan Wisdom in New Zealand; the Northern Light Mystery School in Finland; the DK Academy of Trans-Himalayan Wisdom (growing out of the DK College and serving students in Northern and Central Europe); the KH-College-UK, to emerge in Great Britain; the KH-College-Americas to emerge in North and South America and Canada; and the KH-College-Australia.
Master Morya as the Head of All Esoteric Schools and Organizations
The time for the development of these esoteric seed-schools (bridging towards the full expression of the destined preparatory and advanced schools) is now at hand. The inauguration of the Morya Federation represents an international, spiritual impulsion meant to feed, inspire and promote emerging regional esoteric schools. Eventually, there will be fourteen schools in all. Master Morya is the Head of all esoteric schools and organizations and is the Chohan in Shamballa Who is responsible for gradually bringing the Light of the One Fundamental School of Occultism to humanity—as humanity is able to assimilate that liberated Light (the Light of "unfettered enlightenment").
Beginning the Morya Federation Program at the December Solstice.
The Morya Federation opens its doors to students at the December Solstice. At the Winter Solstice in the North, the Sun is always in zero degrees of Capricorn.
Demanding Work Is Necessary for Group Approach to the Inner Ashram
The school work will necessarily be demanding (but will have its spiritual compensations). As Master DK tells us with characteristic understatement: "The Path of Discipleship is not an easy one but its compensations are adequate". There really can be no escape from a strenuous program—but, hopefully, a joyful one! The Morya Federation is, minimally, a school for discipleship training. It is not a school for those who seek to avoid the hard work of training the personality to become an instrument of the soul. Such well-meaning people, the enthusiastic but inconstant aspirants of the world, are emotionally focussed and too dependent on how they 'feel', thus guaranteeing instability. In fact, the true future preparatory schools of meditation, which the Morya Federation and affiliated schools seek to anticipate, will be fundamentally for those students who are treading the Path of Probationary Initiation (and later, when the advanced schools are truly established, the Path of Initiation itself—the Path leading to the third degree).
It is not possible to offer this type of advanced training until a Master stands behind every such school, but progress can now be made in training students to be ready to enter such schools when they appear—whether that entry occurs in this incarnation or, even more likely, in the next and succeeding ones. The true esoteric schools supervised by Hierarchy will not be "built in a day", but neither were the great universities like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Oxford or Cambridge. One day, these hierarchically-sanctioned esoteric schools will rival and surpass their more conventional counterparts.
The Duration and Rhythm of the Morya Federation Curriculum
The Morya Federation Curriculum, will attempt to approximate the curriculum presented by Master DK in Letter on Occult Meditation. Most of the wide range of subjects there detailed (LOM 325-331) will each find place over the intended five-year period of study. While the archetypal model of the school is structured as a five year program, some students (equipped with more extensive experience and the will to push forward) may complete the program in less time while some may prefer to take longer—perhaps up to ten years if that much time is required for the necessary absorption and expression of light, love and spiritual will. Advancement occurs through the fulfillment of meditative, academic and service requirements along with evidence of a subtle improvement in the quality of consciousness. While Morya Federation works from a fixed schedule based upon the natural rhythms and cycles, there is also room for individual flexibility and self-pacing.
Working Under the Spirit of Synthesis
The spirit of synthesis animates all we do in the Morya Federation and students will be expected to study a number of diverse courses simultaneously. This will feed the gathering sense of wholeness and interrelatedness leading, eventually, to the development of "pure reason", the true intuition. Our approach will not, however, be entirely simultaneous, nor entirely linear. A mixture of Saturnian and Uranian virtues will be sought—sequential activity within a field of perceived simultaneity. Though the program will be challenging, you need not fear being overburdened. You can be assured that the Faculty and Mentors (those who work more closely with you spiritually and psychologically) will be on the look-out for any difficulties you may be experiencing and will always be ready to offer you a helping hand.
The Duration of Courses and the Rhythm of Work
Longer courses will last six months and shorter ones, two months. Just as Master DK recommended, the first six months, from the December Solstice to the June Solstice, will be a vigorous approach to the accumulation of new knowledge. We call this the "Light Half of the Year" or the LHY. (We realize that for those in the Southern Hemisphere it is reversed, but the Trans-Himalayan Esoteric Tradition designates the North Pole as allied to the head center of the "planetary atom". This is significant. We follow the northern rhythm because the One Fundamental School of Occultism in Shamballa from which this Teaching emanates, is intimately related to the planetary head center.)
During the DHY ("Dark Half of the Year", from the June Solstice to the December Solstice), all knowledge that has been accumulated during the LHY is systematized, perfected and assimilated so that the students' creativity may be released through the production of books, essays, articles and through a variety of other creative or artistic modalities expressive of the knowledge absorbed. There are many ways to express assimilated knowledge and the Morya Federation Faculty encourages not only the traditional written forms of expression but artistic, ceremonial and other creative forms as well.
Courses Offered During Year 1 or Level 1
Course content is formally presented during the six months of the LHY. Students work upon what they have absorbed during the four and a half months of the DHY (there is a six week-vacation). Only the courses in Meditation continue to present new content throughout the entire academic year. The first year offers the following courses.
Introductory Survey to the Ageless Wisdom (two months)
The Esoteric History of Humanity upon our Planet (two months)
The Science of Occultism (two months)
Treading the Probationary Path (in three two-month sections)
The Language of Energy (in three two-month sections)
The Art and Science of Meditation (in five two-month sections extending into the DHY)
Solutions for Humanity (in three two-month sections)
You should not be daunted by the fact that a number of these courses are offered simultaneously (four courses simultaneously, plus the work in meditation). This is how things are done in any good college or university. Further, students of the Masters must learn to handle many streams of energy at the same time. The Masters are 'adept' at multi-tasking, and so we must become. A synthetic approach is pursued from the outset.
Summary of Courses Offered From Year 2 to Year 5
Descriptions of courses to be offered from Year 2 through Year 5 will be shared in detail with those who fill out an Application. Looking briefly at offerings beyond the first year, such courses, consistently advancing in depth and comprehensiveness, include—
two years of Esoteric Psychology
three years of Esoteric Healing
three years of White Magic
one year focusing on the Path of Discipleship
one year on the Path of Initiation using the Fourteen Rules for Applicants to Initiation
two years on the Path of Group Initiation focusing on the Fourteen Advanced Rules for Disciples and Initiates and on the Hints, Points of Revelation and Formulas for Initiation found in DINA II
studies in Esoteric Symbology and Numerology
studies concerning Deva Evolution
studies in Cosmology and Cosmogony
progressive studies in Science and Occultism
studies in Practical Occultism and Ceremonial Magic
studies in lower and higher Psychism
continuing research into Solutions for Humanity based on humanity's pressing problems
and, paramountly, deepening study and practice of occult meditation, both individual and group meditation.
Accompanying all meditation and study will be a continuing emphasis upon practical service, expressed according to the nature, inclinations and abilities of each student and the need to be met.
The Morya Federation's Live On-Line Virtual Campus
All school work is undertaken on our Morya Federation Online Campus. The Campus includes a Student Union Forum, as well as individual Course Forums, where students are encouraged to informally interact with others about their studies.
Students will post monthly MSS Reports (Meditation, Study and Service) throughout the year, as well as literary and creative work during the DHY so faculty can gauge their comprehension of the subjects.
All students will be assigned an Individual Mentor, and will have access to the Teaching Teams assigned to the supervision of the various courses of study in which they will be participating. Mentors will respond to students' meditation work and related questions. The Teaching Teams will respond to students' academic work and related questions.
Individual and group meditation is performed throughout the year (even during the six week summer break when it is recommended that intensive study be suspended to give the mind and brain a rest from cognitive labor).
Following in the Footsteps of the Masters:
A Step Forward for the Group
Compared to our own spiritual achievement, the achievement of the Masters is very great. Yet, even They, had to begin somewhere. They, too, were subject to the same limitations which we now experience, yet they emerged into the full flower of Their spiritual potential—and this They did through great labor! No one ever became a Master by "meandering feebly down the years", protecting the right to personality-leisure and, thus, guaranteeing futility. The God of Opportunity is none other than Saturn, and we all know what this Great Deity brings—hard labor as the root cause of noteworthy achievement. So, if we wish one day to be like the Masters of the Wisdom, we have to study as They have studied, meditate as They have meditated and, above all, serve as They have served. The opportunity is here for a significant step forward as a group. Hopefully, those who feel the magnetic 'call' will rise to the challenge. As Master Morya has repeatedly stated: "It is a joy to do the Master's Work!"
Reaffirming the Goal
In all simplicity, the goal of all this meditation and study is to produce the esoterically well-rounded, server of humanity possessed of an illumined mind and a loving heart and animated by an undeflectable spiritual will—to become an individual who can skillfully apply all he or she has learnt to the upliftment of the human race.
Entry into the Morya Federation School of Meditation
The Application and Initial Requirements
Entry into the school is only possible for those who have meditatively, thoughtfully and satisfactorily completed an extensive, soul-searching Application. At the beginning of every worthy spiritual enterprise, a period of deep reflection about the road ahead is required, and the Application we have prepared will offer this opportunity, if prospective student members of the Federation approach it in the right spirit.
The Application is long and thorough. It must be if it is to offer you, as a potential applicant, the opportunity to reflect deeply upon many important aspects of your psychological and spiritual life. The Application (and an in-person or telephone interview, when possible) is the MF Faculty's way of assessing whether you are ready for the training program. If you are not ready at first, your responses to the Application will suggest what additional preparatory work might be recommended. So, if you follow through and request an Application, face it optimistically in the light, love and strength of your own soul. Filling out the Application is the first test of the spiritual hardiness and fiery aspiration which a true Candidate for the Mysteries must display when knocking at the Door of the Temple.
After careful consideration of this introductory letter, if you feel drawn or 'called' to become a student in the synthetic program offered, please download and complete the application. Once you have submitted your Application, it will be carefully considered by the Admissions Committee; an in-person, telephone or Skype interview will be arranged if possible; and you will receive notification concerning your admission about two weeks after your Application has been received.
What You May Do
Please consider the contents of this letter carefully. Meditate upon it. Think imaginatively and yet realistically of your life-purpose and of your present circumstances, and then decide whether you (in the company of other spiritually-minded Brothers and Sisters) would like to take a step closer to the center of your own life through deep, comprehensive, synthetic esoteric meditation and study expressed in definite service. If this is the case, please email us to receive the Morya Federation Application and get ready to go through a demanding yet, almost certainly, illuminating meditative and reflective process. As you fill out your Application, you will be thinking in depth about your life-as-lived in this incarnation (and perhaps in former incarnations). You will be looking back and, more importantly, looking forward to the fulfillment of your higher spiritual possibilities. You will be making an important spiritual decision, and some of you will move forward towards definite commitment (which will require a self-devised oath to your own soul, the Master and the Hierarchy that you will persist in the program of meditation, study and service you have undertaken—except for illness or true incapacity).
Not for the Faint of Heart
This approach to synthetic, spiritual occultism is not for the spiritually faint of heart. We are reminded of the advertisement put forth by the intrepid explorer Ernest Shackleton as he attempted to gather adventurers for his Antarctic expedition:
As you read the following, think in esoteric terms and also realize that (as regards esoteric groups in today's world) the majority of students are women rather than men, for it is women, says Master Morya, who are bringing in the New Age.
"Men Wanted: For hazardous journey. Small wages, bitter cold, long months of complete darkness, constant danger, safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in case of success."
There is something inspiring about Shackleton's call, is there not? It does not speak to our often timid personality but rather to our Spirit, to that part of ourselves which can never fail.
Friends of the Ageless Wisdom and Humanity, we look forward to hearing from you. We are on the verge of a purposeful experiment—the attempt to approach the Ashram as a group even as we approach humanity in service—again, as a group. We do not know what the future will hold, even those of us who have spent most of our life studying astrology! We only know, humanity is in a crisis situation and needs all the spiritual help it can get.
The Avatar, the World Teacher, the Christ, is on His way. His descent will break down all the bad old ways, and many old forms will be destroyed. With the need for intelligent and cooperative acceptance by humanity of that descent, we must help, That long-awaited and blessed descent will summon evil from its lairs. "Perfection calls imperfection to the surface." During this trying time, humanity will need to be guided by strong hands in the dark—the hands of servers who are carrying the Light, who know the meaning of liberating destruction and that "joy commeth in the morning".
You may wonder whether you are equal to the task or whether you really desire to make such an effort to approach the Great Light. At such a time, one must meditatively find the Inner Sage, the One Who is already Wise and Who seeks expression through the personality of humanity and through the personality of every one of us. We are far stronger than we know, and far more capable than we realize outwardly. The joy of achievement belongs to those who dare to do what they did not think they could do, and persist until they succeed.
The 'liberated Light', the "unfettered Enlightenment" of the One Fundamental School of Occultism in Shamballa is seeking ways to descend in order to illumine the benighted consciousness of the human race. Schools are needed, light-bearing disciples are needed, vessels for the Greatest Light are needed. See then, if your heart and mind respond to this 'Call for Light' and see if your will is of sufficient strength to hold you steady as you persist in the labor required of those who would penetrate into the Light of Hierarchy and yet, because of their love of humanity, revolve upon the pedestal of light, determined to serve.
"He who faces the light and stands within its radiance is blinded to the issues of the world of men; he passes on the lighted way to the great Centre of Absorption. But he who feels the urge to pass that way, yet loves his brother on the darkened path, revolves upon the pedestal of light and turns the other way.
"He faces towards the dark and then the seven points of light within himself transmit the outward streaming light, and lo! the face of those upon the darkened way receives that light. For them, the way is not so dark. Behind the warriors—twixt the light and dark—blazes the light of Hierarchy." (DINA I 15)

As a Millennial and professional who works in the digital social impact space, I've gulped the 'do-gooding' Kool-Aid and see the benefits of leveraging social media for social good. But I wondered exactly how digital marketing is influencing how everyday people take social action.
I turned to Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest to see what compelling examples of social action are out there. And I found one.
This in-your-face message caught my attention, and not only for its use of a hashtag!
I came across the image on a site called DragonflyEffect.com. (Entirely coincidental is the fact that I just finished reading the site's namesake, The Dragonfly Effect. It's a great read. Highly recommend.) Below the potent statement, in very small letters, you can see the t-shirt is an advertisement for HopeMob.
HopeMob? What in the world is that? A mob of hope? I was intrigued.
HopeMob describes itself as:
"[The name] is exactly what it sounds like – a mob of people bringing hope. Just as Flash Mobs dance and bring spontaneous joy and laughter, HopeMob will bring caring strangers together to create sudden, yet organized relief and hope all over the world! We see a need and swarm it! Together…we are POWERFUL!"
Cool concept, huh?
Why HopeMob appeals to the masses.
Do gooders. Strangers uniting over cause is not a new phenomenon. Whether it be creating safer products for babies or seeking justice for hate crimes, the internet has created a platform for anyone anywhere to contribute to cause.
HopeMob capitalizes on that idea, by giving people the benefit of the doubt, and viewing everyone as a do-gooder. The concept of social proof is at use here—when people see others participating, they want to take part themselves. Using the word "mob" is an interesting choice. While flash mobs have gained in popularity, "mob" by itself doesn't connote a happy thing. By juxtaposing the two words, HopeMob adds a smile to the unexpected.
Compelling causes. The whole concept of HopeMob is digital storytelling created by the masses. There's not a HopeMob team determining what stories get featured and what do not—it's entirely democratic! This digital platform allows incredibly personal causes—stories are entirely user-generated—influence where the mob goes next. As long as you're a registered user (which is free and super easy), you can submit a story, vote on stories by giving them a "boost", and deal in the story points currency. The more boosts a story receives, the higher it moves on the featured list.
Healthy competition. I once heard a story on NPR about how if you don't like competition, you're un-American. While I don't entirely share that sentiment, I do agree that Americans love ranking things. Through the boost system, stories compete against one another, injecting a healthy dose of competition into the mix.
Tangible results. More than the catchy terminology, cute buttons, or heartfelt causes, the thing I love most about HopeMob is its measurable results. Every day only one story is featured online, you can only donate to that cause and that cause only, and that story will stay featured until the pre-determined goal is met. It's brilliant because it highlights important stories, attaches a dollar amount, and doesn't give up hope in the middle of a campaign.
HopeMob seamlessly pairs digital engagement with storytelling. The concept is smart, savvy, and, dare I say, fun! Watch this trend—I imagine it will fundamentally alter the way we engage with causes, which can only be good news.

Two soldiers were killed in that attack, the officials said. Two more soldiers were killed by snipers on Saturday morning, they said.
That was followed Saturday by the abduction of four soldiers from near a military base near Falluja, the officials said. The four, who were in civilian clothing, were on their way home for a short vacation when they were kidnapped, they said.
Al-Maliki on Friday said the violence in Falluja doesn't surprise his administration. He cited "conspiracies" plotted by regional intelligence services, vestiges of the old regime, al Qaeda and those with sectarian agendas.
The government, he said, has warned before about "those who have hostile agendas against Iraq, its political process and its democracy." He said dangers are "increasing day after day in an attempt to blow up the security situation in the country and drag the armed forces into confrontations."
The protest in Falluja was the latest in a series held in predominantly Sunni regions of Iraq. They have been countered by mostly Shiite, pro-government demonstrations, raising fears that the sectarian division could bring violence in the streets.
The protests have grown in recent weeks. They began in late December when Sunni demonstrators took to the streets in Anbar province, which borders Jordan and Syria, to protest al-Maliki's order to arrest the bodyguards of Finance Minister Rafaie al-Esawi, a Sunni.
The arrest of al-Esawi's bodyguards came just hours after President Jalal Talabani, a Kurd who is widely viewed as a stabilizing political force in Iraq, left the country about two weeks after suffering a stroke.
The protesters also are demanding the release of detainees they said are held without charges, calling the government corrupt and accusing it of unfairly targeting Iraq's Sunni people.
Iraq's Arab Sunnis and Kurds have accused al-Maliki and his Shiite political party of working to consolidate power in Iraq by cutting them out of the political process, an allegation that comes as U.S. lawmakers raise concerns about Iraq strengthening its ties with Shiite-dominated Iran.
Sunnis make up about 20% of Iraq's estimated population of more than 27 million, whereas about 60% to 65% are Shiite.
Since the fall of Saddam Hussein's Sunni-dominated regime in 2003, Sunnis in Iraq have been largely disaffected. The gulf was widened in 2005 when Sunnis boycotted the country's election, opening the way to a heavily dominated Shiite government.
The sectarian divisions translated into violence in the streets in 2006 and 2007, with fighting that nearly ripped the country apart.

Jobs – Stress Relief
Sunday, August 7th, 2011 | Our Best Advice | Comments Off
For an easy one-to-five-minute exercise, sit up in your chair with your feet flat on the floor and hands on top of your knees. Close your eyes and Breathe In and Out, slowly and deeply, concentrating on your lungs as they expand fully in your chest. While shallow breathing causes stress, deep breathing oxygenates your blood, clears your mind, and helps center your body to opening up tension blocks (or research expert health advice and more local TIPS online in your area). Do this one with a colleague at work and they'll love it too – watch your energy build.
Tuck those buds into your ears and cel phone and listen to music. For even five minutes a cello master like Yo-Yo Ma may do the trick (another favorite is Andre Segovia guitar) but if classical isn't your thing, try listening to ocean or nature sounds or other zen relaxing effects of musical sounds. We do it when getting massages at spas, but don't think about it when needing to remove a stressful situation out of focus during our day. Taking a break listening to relaxing music generates calm that has a positive effect on our brain and body, lowers blood pressure if the right music (as clinical studies have shown), as well as reduces cortisol, a hormone related to stress and weight gain.
Call A Friend, Therapist, Life Coach
I once heard from a PA we placed on a JOB that one of their favorite ways of staying clear is having a therapist or life coach on call when things get too pressured and they need a five minute mentoring session. If you're feeling overwhelmed by challenges at hand, do this, or you can also simply take a break to call a friend and talk out your problems. Positive relationships with friends and loved-ones are part of a healthy lifestyle, but there's no time that this is more useful than when you're under a lot of stress. A reassuring voice, even for a minute, can put everything in perspective. Don't tuff it out if it's an issue that could cost you your job. Reach out. If it's a JOB in the domestic help field you're doing and you need to unload and get some expert advise, call our office. We'd love to help, listen, and talk it out.
Be your own best friend every day. Sometimes calling a friend is not an option or you're sworn to confidentiality and cannot share your issue. For general stress relief simply talking ourselves through it works wonders. And don't worry about seeming crazy to yourself or even someone else who can hear your "self talk", talking to a pet, an ant, a bird, works great (Really, try it). Just tell yourself why you're feeling stressed out, don't concentrate on blame focus, just what you have to do to complete the task at hand, and most importantly, that everything will be okay. Trust it, your issue will be resolved given time, if not immediately.
Stress and diet are closely related so make sure yours is working for you optimally. Many people are triggered by hidden food allergies they're unaware of causing anxiety that isn't attributed to food. I'm consistently seeing people who are stressed out and it's worn on their body despite their best efforts to hide it. Don't. Take food and drink and your self care, seriously. Drinking tons of water alone won't do it. People rely much too much on water to carry them throughout the day. Not enough to do the job.
Seriously (drama and comedy are paired Historically), let it wash over you and make light of whatever is troubling you. Laughing works, even if you don't mean it at first. Remember lying on someone's stomach and someone else laid on yours and you all started laughing, and pretty soon you'd all be in tears hysterical? Laughing really does change our nervous system into making us happy. If you have access, watch a quick YouTube classic like Monty Python "The Ministry of Silly Walks." Brits are hilarious when they're being silly, you'll soon be cracking up (rather than cracking up with tortured worry).
Exercise is fantastic for a quick dose of throwing off nervous energy and you don't need to be at the gym or training. Go outside and take a quick short speed walk around the block or run in place, or simply standing do a long stretch during a break at work. This can offer immediate relief in a stressful situation, and you can also always excuse yourself for ten minutes just to goof off. Getting your blood moving releases endorphins and improves your mood fast.

TIP: Stay with the expertise of having healthy practices. Don't pull all nighters and rely on your stamina alone. Health Professionals agree you're playing havoc with work performance, and accidents happen when we're tired at the wheel. Arrange for relief and let us help you find your dream job.
9:00 – 11:00 pm: This is the time range when our body is done detoxifying the lymph nodes. The antibody system kicks in to work in harmony when we're in a relaxed state.
1. Enter your relaxation time before actually going to sleep. Do that foot massage you love on yourself or exchange with your partner, gently ease those tired muscles out.
2. Take a TIP from Old School and curl up with a good book instead of watching TV. Reading tires the eyes to sleep.
3. Do some deep breathing and let out your breath gently, slowly. This ancient technique is brilliantly helpful.
4. Don't drink water before bedtime to avoid having to get up in the middle of the night. Cut out caffeine, alcohol, and sugar several hours before sleep (or stop them all together as many people have determined is best for them).
11:00 pm – 01:00 am: This time range is for detoxification your liver, which works to keep us going (or we die from overburdened exhaustion and toxicity.)
1. Remove all electronic devices from your bedroom, they're known to interfere with deep sleep. Your bedroom should be your sanctuary.
2. Make sure all windows are covered in light-blocking shades to give you a cocoon space. Street lights/light pollution interferes with your sleep cycle. We need the dark.
12:00 am – 04:00 am: We're in deep sleep now (hopefully!), a the time for bone marrow to produce blood.
1. Give your body the perfect sleep that can help this process by staying asleep. Melatonin is a hormone produced in the brain that regulates sleep cycles. Support it naturally rather then synthetically.
2. If you find yourself waking up during the wee hours try meditation, but don't get out of bed unless you've absolutely got to. Many people eventually drift back off.
01:00 – 03:00 am: The hours of detoxification of your bile, this fluid produced by the liver needs to be cleansed by good quality sleep.
03:00 – 05:00 am: This is time when the detoxification of our lungs cleansing process kicks in.
1. People with lungs or respiration problems may be coughing or struggling with breathing in these hours. Check out food allergies. Alterations to our natural food supply has created huge sensitivity for adults and children as never seen before.
2. Have your doctor check you for sleep apnea (a breathing condition), which restricts getting sufficient oxygen. This is a common issue few know about.
3. Do Yogic breathing which helps cure many things, strengthens the lungs, and assists with detoxing them. Breath, breath, breath!
4. If you're awake do some day dreaming of lovely places in the world and press on acupressure sleep points (but don't exceed five minutes). Acupressure may relieve insomnia and provides deep relaxation.
1. The Hand: With your palm facing up, find the juncture where the wrist meets the hand with the thumb of your other hand; rub just below the first crease of the wrist.
2. The Face: Using the tips of your index and third fingers apply pressure to the spot between your eyebrows, at the juncture of the bridge of your nose and your forehead.
3. The Back of Your Head: Gently massage the pressure points at the indentation at the base of the skull on the back of the head; move outward an inch on both sides of the skull at the hairline.
05:00 – 07:00 am: Many of us are up at these hours to begin our day, which moves us into detoxification of the colon.
1. This why it's important not wake up too late every day.
07:00 – 09:00 am: Time to give your small intestine some nutrients.
1. Some experts believe that a hearty Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you feel that's true for your metabolic system find what works best for yours, don't just eat randomly.
2. Others believe maintaining a semi-fast is best for continuing detoxing. Breakfast around 6:30am of light fruit and raw nuts and seeds is a great light beginning.

The GoAround 'Restating The Question' Album Review
October 23rd, 2012 | Published in Feature
A Vivoscene Feature Review by Brian Miller
Vivoscene rating 8.0
Life has a way of molding us until we are something far different than what we may have originally intended – it's what we choose to do with these changes and curve balls that defines us. Pop/alt-rock group The GoAround is a living, breathing, rocking example of this. The band has weathered many changes since their inception in 2006, but after a myriad of member switches the band now revolves around two core members, Alexander and Anthony Saddic. The East coast band is still based in their hometown of West Chester, Pennsylvania and has garnered a local fan base by playing shows with other well-known local acts – a fan base that they're hoping to expand to a national level in the coming months.
Their debut album, entitled Restating The Question, was released August 10th and its straightforward rock instrumentals paired with raw, versatile vocals create a sound that feels incredibly honest. "[Our] songs lyrically serve to motivate people to analyze what they stand for… Everybody is essentially chasing the same things: Love, acceptance and happiness. That to me is the common thread that unifies all of mankind… and that is the point that we are trying to make."
This is a polished piece of work that belies the relative youth of the Saddic brothers. The album was mastered by Grammy-winning producer Nathan Dantzler (Audio Adrenaline) at the Hit Lab studios in Los Angeles, but the Saddics produced and engineered Restating the Question themselves and recorded it all in their basement. Using different sounds from older inspirations such as Smokey Robinson, Led Zeppelin and Eric Clapton (or more recently, Matchbox Twenty, Foo Fighters, and Dido), they have scored bigtime with this debut.
The two truly outstanding tracks on the album are "Her Love Is Like Glass", and the absolutely superb blues-rocker "When I Hit The Bottom". While the former is a sympathetic updated portrait in the lyrical vein of Dylan's "Just Like A Woman" that might have come from the catalogue of many an indie folk/rock band, the instrumental dynamics make it something special. But the Saddic brothers, aged just 21 and 19, really hit their stride with the straight-ahead blues-rock format of "When I Hit The Bottom". If this tune doesn't take them to the top of the charts, there's something awry in listener-land, because the song sounds like an instant smash. The vocal work is outstanding, and the composition makes The GoAround a very promising band. Pop with substance. They need to write more songs like this. Here's a brief clip of the tune:
Catchy ? – oh yeah. As well as it's recorded though, the studio version almost pales in comparison to the truly exciting acoustic live performance you can witness by scrolling down and watching the video below. What I love about the vid is the demonstrable proof that live music is simply better. The group is young, ambitious, and capable of achieving rock and roll greatness – maybe not just yet, but definitely in the future. The inclusion of the cello is masterful. And the lead vocal, well, it's what we music fans live for: palpable emotion, in control and almost out of control with the depth of the singer's feeling.
The band has multiple music videos in the works (starting with their singles, the catchy "Her Love Is Like Glass" and the bluesy rock "When I Hit The Bottom") in support of their new album. They are definitely a pair to watch.
You can check out their website here.

Those silver guitar picks make me wish I had actually learnt to play the guitar I was given for xmas when I was 14 (half my life ago… eeek!!) I could really do with a pair of fingerless mitts too, not because I am finally going to learn to play that guitar, but because i always have icy cold fingers at work – and I need my fingers free for my keyboard.

Very nice. I am a violist in a professional symphony and those fingerless gloves are a favorite in the string section. A really easy way to make them if you don't have a sweater to cut up is to sew a tube of fleece that will fit your arm and then cut a slit for your thumb. I just made myself a pair that way but I lined them with cotton knit so that they would breath better. I think these would also be great for kids in cold climates to wear under their gloves to avoid that cold gap between the glove and the coat sleeve.
Erin responds:
I love the IPOD nano case – so fun! It could be used for a ton of other things as well. I hope I win the Lily top!

Art Works Downtown in San Rafael, CA has installed a new piece of public art in downtown San Rafael to honor 9-11 victims. The steel sculpture is called "On the Rise: a 9-11 Tribute" by sculptor, Matt Rapalyea. Rapalyea is very active in the Santa Rosa Public Art community. Rapalyea writes, "I find deep pleasure in creating and sharing a response with my art." Rapalyea has been featured in several 2nd Fridays Art Walks at the MFA Art Space at Marin Fencing Academy located at the east end, at 827 Fourth Street, San Rafael, CA. The installation was coordinated by AWD Program Director, Stan Gibbs. Stan works with the City of San Rafael and the BID to coordinate programs for the betterment of the community. The AWD Public Art program began with founder, Phyllis Thelen, and was passed on to Gibbs to carry on the co-ordination of this program that provides art for public discourse and enjoyment. To learn more about the AWD Public Art program, visit here > To send a letter of inquiry, become involved with our Public Sculpture program, donate funds, or send a thank you for Public Art efforts, contact us > If you go...

A very large work, more than 5 feet in diameter is a ceramic world of mountainous peaks, valleys and nooks filled with live succulents and water that trickles throughout the piece. Andino-Stevenson has included her new ceramic whistles, which are characters who could certainly live in this earthy, clayscape, but they stand alone as impressive and highly detailed ceramic collectibles.
A must see! The Library staff shared this week that many have been snapping photos daily with their iPhones and small cameras. They noted that this is really a unique type of exhibit for the Library and that it should be seen to be enjoyed. San Rafael photographer, Margot Duane, of Margot Duane Images, had the opportunity to visit the exhibit this week and has provided photos.

MACOMB, Ill. - Western Illinois opened fall practice at Hanson Field, the site of the Leathernecks' season-opener in less than four weeks, with a morning workout on Friday (Aug. 3). The Leathernecks have another practice session to work through (Saturday morning) before the team is able to wear shoulder pads.
Keeping with their normal practice plan, the Leathernecks worked out in their position groups, 7-on-7 pass skelly and some 11-on-11. Western also installed schemes for PAT/field goal in addition to the punt game.
"Practice No. 1 for the 2012 Leathernecks was a success. A lot of enthusiasm, a lot of energy. This team is hungry; we have a lot of things we want to accomplish. We know the only way to do that is working hard," said head coach Mark Hendrickson, entering his third full year in charge. "We'll learn as much as we can this afternoon and tonight then come out ready tomorrow morning for practice two."
The Leathernecks are scheduled to begin Saturday's practice
at 8:30 a.m.
RETURN: Seniors Max Dancer and Keith Enderlein along with junior Nate Bowman return this year after
missing the 2011 season. Dancer and Enderlein both started games during their
career while Bowman was one of the top special teams performers in 2010, and
could challenge for the starting job at fullback. Dancer was a preseason
All-MVFC pick in 2010 and has played in 22 career games. Enderlein made 35
tackles with seven pass break-ups in 12 games two years ago. Bowman played in
all 13 games and recorded 14 tackles on special teams.
BACKFIELD ADDITIONS: Head
coach Mark Hendrickson announced that running backs Caulton Ray and Bryce
Flowers have been reinstated to the team and both practiced on Friday. They
were suspended at the end of spring practice for a violation of team rules.
NEWS AND NOTES: With
the addition of late signees and walk-ons joining the team, Western brought in
32 true-freshmen to fall camp. They join 20 seniors this fall... Kevin Kintzel changed his number from
26 to 17... Fullback Mike Harmon, who had battled injuries last season and all of
spring drills, decided not to return for his senior year. He will remain with
Leatherneck Athletics, assisting in the strength and conditioning department.
Harmon was a Second Team Academic All-MVFC selection last year... Western will
take its team picture on Monday morning then welcome the media to Hanson Field
for the annual media day event.
AUGUST 12: Western Illinois Athletics
will hold its annual 'Leatherneck Fan Day' on Sunday, August 12th at 5 p.m. The
event takes place at Hanson Field and is free to the public. The Leatherneck
football team will sponsor a clinic for children ages 12 and under on Hanson
Field, starting at 5. Coaches and student-athletes from men's and women's
soccer, volleyball, men's and women's cross country, along with football, will
be on hand to sign autographs for all fans during the event. There will be free
prizes, food and Coca-Cola products for those in attendance. Fans can also
purchase tickets for the upcoming 2012 football season during the event. For

Which edition of Acrobat
Hi, y'all. I've just started at a new company, outside the graphic arts (gasp!), where we don't yet have publishing tools inhouse. We'll be getting Acrobat, but I'm not sure which edition to get.
I know about the official comparison matrix http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/matrix.html, but I've heard of a useful feature I don't see listed: the ability to reach into a PDF and extract a content object, e.g. an embedded graphic. What do I need, to do that? (Maybe only Illustrator can do that.) I'm also leery of a new version, specifically the not yet released version 8. I've been using 6. Aside from the bloat factor, I was very disappointed when Find was "improved" in 6. I use Find a *lot*. It used to be that Find would just hop to the first occurrence, but now it seems I have to wait while Acrobat generously searches the whole flippin' PDF. (Am I overlooking a switch to stop that behavior?) To me that wasn't a wise product decision, so as I say, I'm leery of what other "improvements" might be lurking in 8, never mind 7. (Bitch bitch bitch.) I'm open to third-party PDF tools, too, but I don't want them to be cheap junk stripped-down "works pretty good, most of the time" stuff, so I'm inclined to stick with the Adobe product. Thoughts? |
