Join us for our 8th annual Summer Retreat in beautiful Mitake Mountain. This year we explore the path of Yoga utilizing the tools and teachings of Taoism. By observing the qualities of yin and yang in our practice, we can discover profound strength, grace, and equanimity in ourselves and in our lives.
御岳山でのサマーリトリートも今年で8回目を迎えることになりました。今年はタオイズムの練習と教えを用いて、ヨガの歩みを探求します。陰と陽の質を観察しながら練習を行うことで、私たちは自分自身と日々の暮らしの中に深く、強さとしなやかさ、そして静けさを見出すことができるでしょう。

Taoist practices are a kind of internal martial arts, perfectly balancing life’s polarities so we can experience the oneness of all things. The yang element strengthens our life-force so we can transmute negative energies that potentially deter our development. It expands our electromagnetic field, fortifying our subtle defense system to protect ourselves from harmful situations. The yin element awakens our sensitivity and receptivity to nature so we can flow gracefully with our surroundings. It opens our hearts and stills the mind so we can be meditative and equanimous in all activities.
タオイストの修練は内なる武道とも言われ、人生における両極性のバランスを取ることに大変長けています。ですから、練習を通じてあらゆる物事における「ワンネス(一つであること、一体性、調和)」を経験することができるのです。陽の要素は生命力エネルギーを高め、私たちの成長を阻む恐れのある、ネガティブなエネルギーを変容させます。そして電磁場を広げ、目に見えない防御システムを強化することで、有害な状況から私たちを守ってくれます。陰の要素は自然界に対する繊細さと受容性を目覚めさせます。これによって私たちは、自分を取り巻く環境において、しなやかに流れていくことができるでしょう。心は開かれ、思考は静かになり、どんな活動にも瞑想的に落ち着いて向き合うことができるのです。

This program unites the ancient wisdom of the Tao with the contemporary movements of yoga. The posture series brings awareness to and awakens the energy meridians and myofascial pathways running throughout the body. We restore the major organ groups and balance related emotions through healing breaths and sounds. The wisdom of the Heart Sutra guides us to discover our inherent Buddha nature which lies within. And we experience our power and vitality as energy in the navel cavity which radiates as light throughout the body, unbound by form.
本コースでは、タオという古の叡智とヨガの現代的な動きを融合させます。アーサナのシリーズでは経絡と筋筋膜経線に注目し、これを活性化します。また、音を用いた癒しの呼吸法によって、主要な臓器を健康に保ち、各臓器に関連する感情を整えます。般若心経の叡智は、私たちの内に宿る仏性への気づきに役立つことでしょう。また、丹田に宿る力と活力を、肉体の枠にとらわれない光のようなエネルギーとして体験してみましょう。

Summer Retreat is back once again! Join us for an immersive weekend of movement, meditation and healing in the beautiful setting of Mitake Mountain. For this year’s retreat we will explore the path of Yoga and see how at its end, at its peak, begins the path of Tantra.
マイルズ・マエダ先生の御岳山リトリートが2年振りに開催されます!東京のオアシス、パワースポットとしても人気の御岳山で過ごすヨガと瞑想、癒しの週末をお見逃しなく!今年のコースでは、ヨガの歩みを探求します。ヨガの道をきわめる時、それは同時にタントラの歩みが始まることを意味しています。

In Yoga we cultivate what is positive and avoid what is negative. In Tantra we live in full acceptance, embracing our aversions, for within every negative lies its positive; the possibility for transformation becomes available in every situation. By simply being relaxed, open, and aware, ignorance can turn into wisdom, fear into freedom, discipline into naturalness. We skillfully navigate our experiences, the non-dual mind stabilizes, and we abide effortlessly in our center.
私たちはヨガを通じて、ポジティブな側面を培い、ネガティブな物事を避ける術を学びます。一方、タントラの学びはすべてを受け入れます。嫌悪の対象ですら、受け入れることを学ぶのです。なぜなら、ネガティブな物事には必ずポジティブな側面が潜んでいると考えるからです。つまり、どんな状況でも、そこには変容のチャンスがあるとタントラは説くのです。心身が安らいで開かれ、意識づけが出来ていれば、無知を叡智に、恐れを自由に変えることができます。また、力みのない鍛錬が可能になるでしょう。自分の体験を方向付けることで、二元論に縛られない思考を保ち、私たちは自分の中心に安らいでいることが出来るのです。

In this retreat we will utilize Yoga and Tantra techniques to access the opportunities for transformation that are available in our day-to-day lives. Modern Hatha Yoga helps us explore new movement patterns and opens new pathways to our spiritual and worldly goals; Yin Yoga supports deep surrender and cultivates patience and compassion toward ourselves; and partner Kundalini Yoga/Venus Kriyas encourages openness and skillfulness in the way we relate to others. We will also practice pranayama, mantra and meditation to further gain support in unraveling the conditioned mind so we may stabilize in our natural state.
本コースでは、ヨガとタントラの手法を使い、日常にある変容のチャンスを活かす方法について学びます。モダン・ハタヨガの練習では、新しい動きを通じて、スピリチュアルな目標と人生の目標を達成するための道を開いていきましょう。陰ヨガの練習では、深く委ねることを学び、自分に対する忍耐力と思いやりを養うことが出来るでしょう。パートナーと行うクンダリーニヨガ(ヴィーナス・クリヤ)は、オープンな人間関係を可能にする上でも役に立つ練習です。他にもプラーナーヤーマ(呼吸法)、マントラ、瞑想の練習を行い、条件づけに捕らわれる思考からの解放、本来あるべき状態を保つ方法を学んでいきます。

– Modern Yoga Movement
– Yin Yoga
– Venus Kriyas

Path of Tantra / March 23-29, 2018 @ Liberty Advance, Boulevard CA

Rudra Yoga 4: The Path of Tantra
“Embracing Life & Increasing Concentration”

to register – rudrayogainfo@gmail.com

Our human life is precious, each and every moment is new and full of possibility. But we often perceive reality as solid and fixed, our mind is bound by old conditioning and beliefs. Thus we limit our potential, deny ourselves what we truly want, settle for commonly shared mediocrity. This relates to our work, our relationships, our entire lives. We fall into comfortable habits of avoiding what we fear and attaching ourselves to what pleases us. On the path of spiritual growth, this keeps us stuck; opportunities to experience our fullest human potential are left unrealized.

Tantra is an esoteric path of transformation. Through it we see reality as fluid, our minds and behavior flexible. Unlike other spiritual paths which are about denying negative influences, tantra says to embrace them, but with awareness, which loosens the constricting knots of tension in our bodies and mind. This is the secret of transformation, opening the pathways of our creative life-force energies to allow for their expression and manifestation. Tantra means ‘continuity’, so instead of having ‘either/or’ mind one has ‘both/and’ mind. It means experiencing all dimensions of life in complete fullness, freeing ourselves from our bondage and rigidity, remaining relaxed, open and flowing, residing naturally in the middle, in our center. We live in full acceptance instead of critical denial.

In this Rudra Yoga retreat we will be introduced to the teachings and practices of various traditions coming from Tibet, India and America to discover how to balance our spiritual life in a world full of distractions. This will encompass yoga for the body, working skillfully with others; meditation with Tibetan deities to transform our attachments; and teachings about life and love to see a bigger picture of how to truly fulfill our wants and needs. By bringing increased awareness to our thoughts and actions, we release fear and confusion and develop unconditional love and wisdom.

Retreat Content:
Hatha & Kundalini Yoga
Tantra Philosophy
Deity Practice, Mantra & Meditation
Partner Yoga & Venus Kriyas
Intentional Living & The Truth About Love
Hawaiian Energetics & Healing Clinic

Costs include course instruction, accommodations, vegetarian meals (w/ meat-option), and healing sessions.

Join us for this rich and unique yoga program. It is intended for all levels of students, beginning and experienced alike. Bring yourself, bring a friend. With full alertness and clear awareness we can truly live a life of fulfillment and wholeness. There is no duality, only totality. There is no age to start practicing yoga or any exercise, there are programs to get in shape at 50 or 60 years old, click here to read more. Likewise, remember that the benefits of Yoga can be mental and physical such as weight loss and you can help yourself from using the best weight loss pills ; it also increases your muscle strength, it would only depend on the exercise focus, even you can get a Pelvic Floor Strong.

Modern Hatha Yoga 30-Hr Teacher Training @ UTL Yoyogi, Tokyo

30-Hour Teacher Training – Modern Hatha Yoga

Modern Hatha Yoga Training brings together techniques from various yogic/movement traditions to help students explore new and dynamic approaches to yoga asana, deepen one’s awareness and connection to the body and breath, and experience a sense of joy and freedom in one’s practice and in life. This course introduces a variety of techniques from the Gyrokinesis and Pilates systems as well as Kundalini, Taoist and Tibetan Yogas to integrate into a Hatha Yoga asana practice. These tools help to increase strength, stability and coordination in one’s body; allow ease of movement and tension release through breath and energy work; and provide tools to bring more creativity to one’s personal practice and in teaching classes.

This 5-day training will cover:
accessing core muscle groups for strength and stability in asanas
applying spinal movements for healthy posture and back
breathwork to awaken our core energies and clear obstacles
integration through both beginning and intermediate/advanced yoga sequences
hands-on adjustments and prop usage
constructing and teaching original sequences

Practices include:
Awakening the Senses
Taoist, Kundalini, & Tibetan Pranayama
Gyrokinesis principles & applications
Basic spinal anatomy & movements
Pilates principles & applications
Core muscle anatomy & basic Pilates mat sequence
Level I and Level II/III vinyasa set
Yoga sequencing

The first half of the course will be centered around applying the various movement/yogic techniques in a Level I vinyasa set. The second half will progress into a Level II/III intermediate/advanced asana set. Both help the student to integrate and embody the various elements both in one’s personal practice and in teaching classes.

This training is a continuing education course for yoga teachers and experienced students alike. Those wishing to receive supplementary practice and technique are invited to take the 12-hour workshop series for arm balancing & jumping transitions. The 4-day series is designed to support this 30-hr Teacher Training.

Arm Balancing & Jumping Transitions Workshop @ UTL Yoyogi, Tokyo

12-Hour Workshop Series – Arm Balancing & Jumping Transitions

This 4-day series is a cumulative yoga program for providing a knowledgable foundation, practical techniques, and a focused course of study for two of the more challenging yoga asana techniques—arm balancing and jumping in vinyasa. We will discover how the practice of one supports the other, and how practicing intelligently and safely one can experience a flow and overall harmony in these physically demanding movements. There’s no promise that one will become proficient with these techniques right away! So the elements of the series combine to create a comprehensive practice for one to integrate the course materials. And with steady, diligent practice one can experience the results of beautifully controlled arm balancing and gracefully effortless jumping transitions.

This 4-day series will cover:

  • developing strength and coordination for arm balancing/hand stands
  • anatomy of core muscles, pelvic & shoulder girdles
  • breathwork for awakening the bandhas
  • Pilates and Gyrokinesis exercises for stability and control
  • applying arm balancing in jumping back/jumping through
  • all four training days combine to create a supportive yoga program you can practice at home

Practices include:
Exercises to activate the core muscles
Pranayama
Pilates & Gyrokinesis applications
Wrist & shoulder opening
Exercises for strength & stability in handstands
Lolasana, chatturanga & jumping back safely
Arm Balancing & Jumping Transitions yoga set

The first two days introduce practices to support arm strength and core muscle stability, including application of Pilates and Gyrokinesis techniques, which prepare one for hand standing. The last two days will integrate that strength and stability to experience the lightness and control necessary for jumping back and jumping through in vinyasa. These workshops are designed to be experienced as a whole but may be taken individually.

This yoga workshop series is for all levels of students. Those wishing further instruction are invited to take the 30-hour Modern Hatha Yoga course. The 5-day teacher training is a continuing education course for both yoga teachers and experienced students alike.

Summer Yoga Retreat / July 16-18, 2016 @ Mt. Mitake, Tokyo

2016 Mitake Yoga Retreat

Summer Retreat with Miles Maeda
The Heart of the Beloved – Let the Beauty We Love Be What We Do
マイルズ・マエダ サマー・リトリート
愛の真髄 – 愛すべきものを体現する

Saturday July 16 – Monday July 18, 2016
at Nobori Shukubo, Mitake, Tokyo
2016年7月16日(土)〜7月18日(月)
御岳山 宿坊「能保利」(東京・青梅)

There are paths of yoga for the intellect, paths of yoga for being of service, and paths of yoga for disciplined practice. Most are familiar with the latter when practicing yoga asana. But alongside these is a spiritual path of love and devotion, of ecstasy and unity, of celebration and community—it is the path of the heart. This is the way of connecting with and honoring the love, harmony, and beauty in the world and expressing it in all the things that we do.
ヨガの歩みには様々な道があります。知的探求の道、奉仕の道、そして自己鍛錬の道。ヨガのアーサナを練習する方の多くは、自己鍛錬の道に馴染みがあるかも知れません。しかし、これらの他にもスピリチュアルな歩みがあります。それは、愛と献身、法悦と融合、祝祭とコミュニティの、ハートの道です。これこそ、この世の愛と調和、そして美とつながり、これを尊び、私たちの行うこと全てにおいて、その素晴らしさを体現する歩みなのです。

The Sufi path has deep roots coming from seeds planted by early mystics and esoteric schools of the Middle East. At its center is the heart, the path of love; its guide, the one holy book, is nature itself. It views all religions as one religion, and recognizes all prophets, saints, and buddhas as messengers of God the Beloved. And just like in yoga, the goal is unity, oneness. We turn on our inner light allowing it to shine forth through our actions, making our lives the beautiful expression of what we love.
「スーフィ」の道のルーツとなる種は、古く中東の神秘主義者たちと奥義的な教えによってまかれました。その真髄はハートであり、これは愛の道と言っても良いでしょう。その歩みを導くもの、そのバイブルは大いなる自然に他なりません。全ての宗教は一つであると考え、あらゆる預言者、聖人、覚者を「愛する神」の使者とみなします。そして、ヨガの教えと同じく、その目指すものは融合であり、ワンネスなのです。私たちもこの学びによって内なる光を灯し、行いをもってその輝きを増し、愛するものが持つ美しさに従って人生を歩みましょう。

Come join us for our sixth annual Summer Retreat where we’ll honor life and celebrate love through diverse and dynamic yoga practices. The day begins with a blend of Hatha and Kundalini Yoga, the afternoons with Vinyasa and Gyrokinesis movement. We will bathe in the sounds of the sacred chants, teachings, and poetry of the mystics. And the days will end with one of our favorite practices, Sufi Dancing! This retreat will also give everyone more free time to be with nature and explore the power spots in the Mitake Mountains.
毎年恒例のサマー・リトリートも6年目となりました。今年は、様々なヨガのプラクティスで身体を動かしながら、いのちを尊び、愛を称えるプログラムです。ハタとクンダリーニ・ヨガをブレンドしたアーサナクラスから一日が始まり、午後のクラスではヴィンヤサとジャイロキネシスを練習します。また、神秘主義の聖なるチャンティング、その教えと詩にも触れましょう。そして一日の締めくくりは、毎年のリトリートでも恒例のスーフィ・ダンスで!自由時間はパワー・スポットとしても人気の高い御岳山の見どころを是非散策してみて下さい。

Posture Clinic / June 18, 2016 – UTL, Yoyogi

Miles Maeda

Posture Clinic w/ Miles Maeda – applying dynamic movement principles in yoga

Workshop with Miles Maeda
Saturday, June 18, 9am-11am
at UTL, Yoyogi
Cost: 3,500yen

Some people practice yoga as a way to exercise, be healthy, and find peace of mind. Others relate to it as a spiritual path, a lifestyle with a goal of experiencing an enlightened state. Regardless of the reason, working with our body, breath and energy gives great benefit to each of us and the way we function in the world. The more expanded the facilities of our bodies and mind, the greater the results in our health, creativity, relationships and well-being.

The contemporary form of Indian Yoga we know today (Ashtanga, Iyengar, etc.) borrows from a variety of traditions including Indian wrestling and British gymnastics. And its continued evolution has grown as we understand the human body through massage/body work, physical therapy, high-performance training, even martial arts and dance. But no matter which yoga system we subscribe to, we can evolve and grow our personal practice by integrating this valuable knowledge we are discovering about the human body.

In this workshop we will explore a unique approach to refining our asana, examining techniques from the GYROKINESIS® system which integrates core strength, full range of motion, and energetic awareness. We will learn three key elements to dynamic movement, learn how to integrate these techniques in our yoga practice, and use practical hands-on techniques to support a deeper experience of the asana. This approach can greatly expand the scope of our practice, help us find our greatest movement potential, and breathe creativity and new life into our personal practice and classes. This posture clinic style workshop can help us refine our own asana practice as well as help teachers in giving adjustments to their own students. Class is open to beginning and experienced students alike.

バランスのとれたエクササイズとして、あるいは健康的で調和のとれたマインドを保つためにヨガの練習を取り入れる人も多いでしょう。その理由や信念にかかわらず、身体と呼吸、エネルギーを動かすことで、生命に活力を得、この世の中で自分を活かせるようになるのです。身体や心と健康、そして富や創造性を増幅させ、よりよい人間関係などの成果を得るでしょう。

多くのスタジオで行われている現代のインド由来のヨガ(アシュタンガ、アイアンガー)はインド式のレスリングや西洋の体操競技などの様々な伝統を借用した形となっています。そしてその身体への理解はマッサージ/ボディワーク、身体的セラピー、高性能トレーニング、武術やダンスといったものさえも含めた様々な形を通して急速に進化しつづけています。しかし取り入れるヨガの流派にかかわらず、多様な知識と経験を統合することで、個人的な練習を進化、発展させ、身体について新たな発見をし続けるのです。

このワークショップでは、コアの強さと幅広い動き、そしてエネルギーにあふれた気づきを統合させるジャイロキネシスを取り入れることにより、自身のアーサナを洗練させる新しいアプローチを探究します。ダイナミックな動きや練習を深めるための3つの大切な要素と、ヨガの練習にこれら3つのテクニックを取り入れる方法と、ヨガのアーサナをより深めるための実用的かつ実践的なテクニックの使い方を学びます。このようなアプローチにより練習の幅を広げ、最大限に動きの可能性を引き出し、生活に創造性と新しい息吹を吹き込みます。このアーサナクリニックワークショップは、自身のアーサナをより洗練させるとともに、指導者にとっては生徒にアジャストメントを行う際の手助けとなるでしょう。ヨガを始めたばかりの方にも経験豊富な練習生にもおすすめのワークショップです。

Detox Yoga Workshop / Saturday April 16, 2016 – UTL Yoga School, Yoyogi

Preparing to Detox

spring cleaning for the mind, body and soul
Saturday April 16, 2016 9:00-11:00
¥3,500

When we begin our journey with yoga, it’s like preparing the soil for a garden to produce an abundance of fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices. As we deepen our practice, we plant the seeds that we choose
to cultivate. And if we want the best possible result with our garden, we create the best possible environment to nurture these seedlings. So similarly in our yoga practice, it is an important step to cleanse the body and mind to properly cultivate the ‘seed’ or light of our true nature which yoga reveals.

Spring is the perfect time of year to cleanse. It is when new growth appears in nature. It is when new blood is produced in the body and naturally we shed old, unused material. And by doing specific dietary cleanses in combination with asana, healing breaths and meditation, we create the optimal environment for our work with yoga to bear fruit.

In this workshop, we will introduce yoga asana designed specifically to heal the digestive system which, if not working properly, is the cause of many illnesses and diseases. We will look at healthy daily habits that will support you in preparing to detox. Plus we will look at a few suggested yogic cleanses which will aid in our body’s natural desire and ability to repair and heal itself. If we simply lighten the load we place on our bodies and minds, our yoga practice will bear the fruit that will nourish us deep within and eternally without.

【春のデトックスワークショップ】

春に行うマインド、身体、精神の浄化
4月16日(土)9:00−11:00
¥3,500

ヨガの旅を始めるということは、果物、野菜、ハーブやスパイスをたくさん育てようとする時に庭の土を準備するようなものです。練習が深まってくると、わたしたちは育てようとしている植物の「種」を蒔くのです。できるだけ多くの実りがあるようにと、最高の環境を与え、「種」に養分がいくようにします。これはヨガの練習にもあてはまります。身体とマインドの浄化は、ヨガによって明らかになる「種」もしくは「わたしたちが本来持っている性質からの光」を正しく培っていくための大切なステップなのです。

春は一年のうちで浄化を行うのに最も適しています。自然界では、新しい生命が芽吹きます。体内で新しい血液が作られ、古くなり使われなかった体内物質が自然に体外に排出されます。アサナ、ヒーリングの呼吸、瞑想に加えて、特別なデトックス食事療法を実践すると体内で最高の環境が作り出され、わたしたちのヨガの練習が実を結びます。

このワークショップでは、特に消化器系の臓器の調子を整えるアサナをとりあげます。この臓器がきちんと機能しなければ、さまざまな疾患、病気を引き起こす原因となります。重要な臓器を癒す呼吸や瞑想の方法を学び、心身の負担となっている考えやネガティヴな感情を解放していきます。最後に、身体に備わっている自己修復、治癒機能を助けるヨガの浄化法をいくつか取りあげます。身体やマインドにかかっている負荷を軽くするだけで、ヨガの練習は、わたしたちの奥深くにあるもの、そしてわたしたちという枠を超え、絶え間なく存在しているものの滋養となる果実を実らせてくれるのです。

Fasting & Recipes

Fasting ファスティング(断食)

from Foods for Health & Healing, Yogi Bhajan
ヨギ・バジャン著 Foods for Health & Healing より

Fasting is more than just the absence of food. It is a very powerful tool for healing and strengthening the body. Very seldom is it recommended to fast on water only. It is a good thing to fast on water once a week, but rarely is it wise to do an extended water fast. Most of the time, it is better to go on a mono diet of those foods which possess the healing properties which the body needs. It is safer, and often more effective.
断食は、ただ単に食べないという事ではありません。これは身体を癒し、強くするための非常にパワフルな手段です。水しか飲まないという方法はまずお勧めしません。週に1回、水だけで過ごすというのなら良いのですが、水のみの断食法を長く続けるのはあまり賢明とは言えないでしょう。たいていの場合は、身体に必要な癒しの特性を含む食品を用いた単一食品ダイエットを行う方が良いでしょう。安全ですし、この方がより効果的です。

As with any tool, it’s important to know the proper use of fasting before starting it. Don’t just go on a fast indiscriminately, because you can actually do yourself more harm than good. You should prepare yourself for the fast and make sure you have the capacity to go through with it. Preparing for a fast begins with modifying your diet. Eliminate junk foods or nonfoods, and begin eating lighter meals composed of mostly vegetables or fruits. Then try fasting for a meal or two, then for a whole day. When you feel comfortable with light eating and occasional one-day fasting, then you’re probably ready to try a fast of three to five days. It is always best to be under the supervision of a heath practitioner, especially on your first fast, or any time you fast for more than seven to ten days. The key words are preparation, moderation and supervision.
どの方法をとるにしても、始める前に断食の正しいやり方を知っておく事が重要です。見境なく行わない事です。なぜなら、かえって害になってしまう事もあるからです。断食に入る準備をし、断食を行えるコンディションにあるかどうかを確かめておきましょう。断食の準備は、食生活を変える所から始めます。ジャンクフードや非食品(ノンフード)を避け、野菜や果物中心の軽い食事に切り替えて行きます。それから、1日のうち1食あるいは2食分を断食してみて、その後1日断食をしてみます。軽い食事や、時々1日断食する事に問題がないと感じたら、3~5日程度の断食をしてみても良いでしょう。常に医療関係者、健康管理医の指導のもとに行うことが望ましく、特に初めて断食をする場合、また7~10日以上の断食を行う時はそうする事が最善です。キーワードは、準備・適度・指導です。

Although anytime is appropriate for starting a fast, springtime is best. The exact time of spring varies from region to region, but it is the time when the climate is changing from cold to warm and nature is reawakening. In the body, it is the time when the blood starts changing. This makes it a perfect time to cleanse and rebuild the system. The other time it is important to start a fast is when you need to heal a particular ailment. Again, this is best done under the guidance of an experienced health practitioner.
断食を始める時期はいつでも良いのですが、春が最適です。地域によって厳密な時期は異なりますが、一般に春は気候が暖かく変わり始め、自然が再び目を覚ます季節です。そして体内の血液が入れ替わる時期なのです。ですから、浄化して体内組織を修復するのには最適な季節なのです。他に断食を始める重要な時期としては、特定の疾患を治す必要性を感じた時です。もう一度言いますが、経験を積んだ健康管理の専門家の指導のもとに行うのが最善です。

People who fast for the first time are often surprised to find that sticking to their diets is only half the challenge of fasting. Often the physical cleansing of a fast is accompanied by a mental cleansing as well. The discipline of the fast can bring out a lot of anger and negativity. If a person has used food to quell emotional appetites, then a fast may uncover these unfulfilled needs as well. The best way to deal with inner cleansing is just to stand back and let it happen. Try to view your negativity impartially as an observer. Every negative thought has a positive thought as its hidden twin. Simply watching a negative thought may cause its positive twin to appear. Then, by substituting the positive thought for the negative, you can change your consciousness from minus to plus.
初めて断食を行う人は、食事法をきちんと守る事は断食において越えなければならない壁の半分に過ぎないと知って驚くことが多いようです。断食をすると肉体的な浄化と共に、精神面の浄化も同時に起こるというのは良くあることです。断食によって、多くの怒りやネガティブさが引き出される事があります。感情的な欲求を鎮めるために食べる習慣があった人なら、断食によって満たされない欲求があらわになるかも知れません。内面の浄化に対処する一番良い方法は、一歩下がって浄化が起きるにまかせる事です。自分のネガティブな部分を、観察者の目で公平に見るようにするのです。ネガティブな思考には、対の要素としてポジティブな思考が必ず隠されています。ネガティブな思考を単純に見つめる事で、対になるポジティブが現れてくるでしょう。そして、ネガティブな思考をポジティブな思考に置き換えることで、私たちは意識をマイナスからプラスへと転じる事が出来るのです。

How you break a fast is very important. Fasting cleanses the body, but it also makes it very sensitive. If you eat nothing but steamed greens for a month and then break your fast with a pizza and a soda, your body is likely to have some rather unpleasant things to say to you! It’s become unused to handling heavy foods and stimulants. For this reason, you should break a fast slowly. Begin with lemon water and honey, or with fruit. Then gradually add light dairy products or vegetables. Save the more slow-to-digest foods – nuts, grains and hard cheese – for last.
どのように断食を終えるかはとても重要です。断食は身体を浄化しますが、同時に非常に繊細で過敏にもなります。1ヶ月間、蒸した青野菜だけで過ごした直後にピザと炭酸飲料を採ったら、身体は不快だというメッセージを送って来るかもしれません!身体は重い食べ物や刺激物を受け入れにくくなってしまっているでしょう。ですから、断食を終わる時はゆっくりと戻して行く必要があります。まずは、レモン入りの水とはちみつ、あるいは果物などから始めましょう。それから徐々に軽い乳製品や野菜を加えて行きます。消化に時間がかかるナッツや穀類、ハードチーズなどは最後にします。

One more word of warning. If you’ve been eating junk food for a long time, or in other ways abusing your body, don’t expect to entirely cleanse your system overnight. Go slowly and steadily, making modest dietary changes at first. You will see gradual improvements. Once you have effectively cleansed your system, don’t expect to go back on junk foods without paying for it. Your body, having become accustomed to a higher-grade fuel, will not tolerate the heavy stimulants and nonfoods you once loved. Go back to eating junk foods if you like, but be prepared for your body to protest.
もう一つ注意しておきます。ジャンクフードを長いこと食べていたり、その他の身体に悪い物を採り続けていた場合には、一朝一夕に体内組織が浄化される事は期待できません。ゆっくり、徐々に、まずは少しずつ食生活を変える所から始めます。だんだんと良くなって行くのが分かると思います。そして、効果的に体内組織を浄化できたら、お金を払わずにジャンクフードを食べようとは思わないように。あなたの身体はより上質な食物に慣れてしまったので、以前は大好きだった重たい刺激物や非食品には耐えられなくなっているでしょう。ジャンクフードを食べる生活に戻りたければそうしても良いですが、身体が抵抗する恐れがある事は肝に銘じておきましょう。

It is important to recap that if for any reason the fasting affects or you feel that it affects your health, you should stop at any time and start seeing a doctor. Here we will always recommend the best in clinical treatments, that is why at UK Meds you will see a wide range of products that, at an adequate price, will be useful to you.

Tongue Brushing

from Yogi Bhajan

First thing in the morning, brush the teeth, the gums and the tongue to pull out toxins from the mouth. The best toothpowder has 2 parts potassium alum and 1 part salt. It draws out the mucus and the bacteria that has accumulated. Brush the root of the tongue until you gag and choke and your eyes water. The watering of the eyes is said to prevent cataracts. When you brush the back of the tongue and gag, two balls of mucus will come up from the “monkey glands”. These glands are responsible for collecting toxins that have drained from the system overnight. This should be done a few times. This mucus has to come out, otherwise it will go back into the body when you swallow, and pollute your system.
朝起きたらまず、歯と歯茎、舌のブラッシングをして口の中の毒素を外に出しましょう。歯磨き粉には、カリウムミョウバンと塩を2:1で混ぜたものが最適です。この歯磨き粉が蓄積した粘液やバクテリアを取り除いてくれます。えずいたりむせたりして涙が出るくらいまで、舌の付け根の方をブラッシングします。涙は白内障の予防になると言われています。舌の奥をブラッシングしてえずくと、粘液の玉が2つ、「モンキー・グランド」と呼ばれる舌の奥の方にある2つの粘液腺から上がってきます。これらの腺は体内組織から一晩かけて流れてきた毒素を集める役割を担っています。このようにブラッシングを数回行います。この粘液は体外に出さなくてはいけません。そうしないと、飲み込むのと一緒に体内へ戻ってしまい、組織を汚染します。
