Hello and good day to all,

I would like to ask something about the square breath pattern. In the different dimensions (elements) of the heart. We use different points of inhalation and exhalation. How about in the Square Breath? Do we use only the nose for both inhalation/exhalation, or we follow what is in the companion cd of EYH to breathe in and out both from the nose and mouth together? Is there any benefit if we use the square breath pattern for each of the dimensions (elements) instead of just using the swing breath pattern?
Live long and prosper,
Christopher Go

Hi,
Four months ago I went to a Gypsy psychic near where I live for advice, she ended up talking me into getting a spiritual cleansing for my family and I. After 2 days of the start of the cleansing I started feeling extremely sped up and wound up, and started getting pressure headaches, dizziness, shakiness all over the body, tinnitus (which is ringing in the ears), and even my blood vessels and muscles feel very tight and constricted constantly. It’s very uncomfortable to feel like this, and at this point I fear what being like this for so long is doing to my health. I’ve tried everything I can think of energy and reiki healings, prayer, meditation, hatha yoga (which actually just made it worse) sea salt baths nothing has helped. Someone just told me she might have awakened the Kundalini energy in me. Can anyone tell me, is this true? I’m desperate to find a solution to this.

Dear friends,

This week we’re at the “Council Grove Conference on Consciousness”, a small conference of luminaries in the field of consciousness and biofeedback research. This is a conference which goes back to the late 60s, sponsored by the Menninger Foundation, and now by the Life Science Institute. We’re excited to participate in this conference, and to bring greater awareness of the heart into the field. We’ll give you an update on it next week!

love,

Puran and Susanna

Dear friends,

Easter is a time of great inspiration for all of us as the great celebration of rebirth and renewal.

How can you be reborn and renewed and make rebirth and renewal happen in your life? That is, how can you make real change in yourself that is aligned with your soul, removes the distortions and pain in your being and takes you on the next step toward your purpose? And could this happen not just once and not just on Easter, but continually?

The answer is so simple that people just dismiss it - “It couldn’t be that easy.”

It doesn’t require membership in any organization and it’s not limited to any tradition. No matter what else you believe about spirit, life and the material world, you can still make it work for yourself.

It even works if you don’t believe it will work. But it works better if you understand how it works.

We strive to see in each person the greatness of their heart. Everyone has a heart, and each heart is big enough and grand enough to hold the whole of creation.In politics, the tendency to deride those with views different from our own is so strong, we may find ourselves asking, does this person have a heart? But of course they do! A person can’t live without a heart. Let’s be big enough to celebrate the greatness of people who we feel are wrong, even politically dangerous. So let’s look at the candidates for the Presidency in this incredibly exciting nomination race. We don’t want to comment on policy pros and cons, or even on the character of the candidates; we just want recognize the greatness of the hearts we see. 
In Barack Obama, we feel the height of the heart. His book is called The Audacity of Hope. His vision is optimistic, idealistic, and hopeful. This is the feeling in the heart which lifts you up out of despondency and keeps you reaching for the vision of how things could be. We all have this feeling, yet some of us have forgotten it, or no longer believe in it. We’ve been hurt before by following our dreams. We don’t want to be hurt again. Yet something in us keeps on believing. Dennis Kucinich also has the height of the heart, as seen in his visionary ideas for change (Kucinich is no longer in the race). 
In Hillary Rodham Clinton, we feel the forward dimension of the heart; that which keeps you going straight to your heart’s desire. We admire her tenacity, toughness, and discipline in pursuit of her goal. She works incredibly hard, and she puts everything she has into it. She persists even when her campaign has hits obstacles, such as 11 straight losses to Obama. 
In John Edwards, we feel the depth of the heart. The depth of the heart is the depth of all feeling, and it is often touched upon by grief. Edwards’ really projected the despair of the working class and middle class anxieties. This was an effective strategy, for the emotion he accessed is very powerful and completely universal. During Edwards’ speeches, it was said that you could hear a pin drop. It is a complete contrast to the energy of an Obama or Clinton event. However, the feeling of the depth of emotion does not inspire action, it does not uplift. So it is difficult to use this energy to create change or inspire millions of people.
In John McCain, like Hillary Clinton, we feel a strong forward dimension. His campaign has also faced and overcome incredible obstacles, going from a distant third in early contests to achieve the Republican nomination. McCain also has a strong width of the heart; he is a moderate Republican at a time when the party has attempted to purge all its moderate members, with conservative activists disparaging them as ‘Republicans in Name Only’. He has worked with Democratic Senator Russ Feingold on campaign finance legislation.
It takes great width of the heart to work with political adversaries on a common cause. In looking at a human heart, we are looking at the face of God. So let us see the greatness of the hearts around us; the greatness of the heart is so much bigger than the flaws.Puran and Susanna
