Best Online Meditation Certification Program

The Meditation Teacher Training and Certification Program has now been online for a little over a year and over this time I have received a ton of incredible feedback regarding the course from the graduating students.  This feedback and the reviews have been one of the most rewarding aspects of running this program, and was a key element in inspiring me to create the Online Yoga Teacher’s Training program as well.

Inducing Altered States Naturally

Higher Consciousness

From time to time I share my experiences of altered states of consciousness and encounters with higher consciousness, as I hope these are a source of inspiration and insight for you.  More often than not, such shifts in consciousness occur late at night and my experiences from yesterday, which are detailed below, were no exception.

For those who wonder if married life obstructs one’s spiritual growth, they should take heart from these accounts of altered states of consciousness as I am like Al Bundy, married with children .  In fact, last evening I cuddled up with my two boys to help put them to sleep before retiring and getting some alone time to spend with my thoughts and Higher Consciousness.

Improving Memory with Yoga

Yoga for Memory

Just last week I had published recent research which showed that Meditation was excellent for improving those areas of the brain associated with Memory and Learning.  You can read that article here – How to Improve Your Memory and Mind.  And then, just this week I have come across some more interesting research on memory improvement, which I think is worth discussing and sharing with you all as well.  It looked at the benefits of walking for improving memory, as compared to other low impact aerobic exercises such as yoga.
