Posted on January 14th, 2008 in Spiritual Blogging by Anmol Mehta

Welcome to the January 14, 2008 edition of the Meditation, Yoga and Spiritual Growth Carnival.

Lots of great article and great variety again in the submissions below.  The carnival includes articles on diet, happiness, meditation, miracles, lucid dreaming and much, much more.

I ask the authors to please link back to this carnival from your Blog, as well as submit the carnival to your favorite social bookmarking sites (Stumble Upon is preferred).  More link love the better for everyone :-).  Authors that submitted multiple articles, I selected the one I thought would be best to include.



Kundalini Yoga Chair Pose for Sexual Health

Posted on January 13th, 2008 in Kundalini Yoga,Tantra & Sex,Yoga Illustrations by Anmol Mehta

Kundalini Yoga Exercise for Improving Sexual Vitality

Hatha Yoga Posture for Toning Thighs & Buttocks

Chair pose is not chair yoga (which you will now find here – Chair Yoga for Energy and Stress Relief).  Not that I have anything against chair yoga, I am (as you must have guessed by now :-) a fan of all types of yoga, but chair pose, unlike the easier postures of chair yoga, is instead a tough little yoga pose.  It is for toning your leg muscles, building lower body strength and improving your overall sexual health.

Greetings Everyone! 

This weekend (January 12-13) I am going to be moving www.AnmolMehta.com to a new high performance hosting service.  This is prompted by the recent increase in traffic, and to prepare for future growth and new features.  To accomplish this smoothly, I am temporarily turning off comments and pingbacks/trackbacks, so that there are minimum changes to the website during the move.

The comments should be back on in 6-12 hours, depending on how long the process takes to complete (DNS push). [Update: Comments are back on now].

Interesting Osho Quote on Enlightenment

Posted on January 8th, 2008 in Spiritual Enlightenment,Spiritual Giants by Anmol Mehta

Summary: Continuing with the series on how various teachings and masters of meditation view enlightenment, this article looks at how Mystic Master Osho (Rajneesh) brilliantly defines what enlightenment is.  You will find the first entry of this series here, Zen Definition of Enlightenment.

Osho Quote on Spiritual Enlightenment

What is Enlightenment?

There are many different definitions of Enlightenment.  Such as, seeing the oneness of everything, seeing yourself and God as one, seeing the false nature of a separate self, encountering your blissful nature, spontaneous action, etc, etc.  These definitions are all good, but there is one that I think is more helpful than these.  It is a particular way that the great mystic master Osho (Rajneesh) describes it and below I would like to discuss this perspective with you.
