David, Frank and a few graduate students are pioneering a sustainable Yoga community on the island of Palawan in the Philippines. The location is in a tropical jungle not far from the beach, with several cascading waterfalls runing through it. For a view of the area and the land being prepared go to Palawan Samadhi Project

A foundation run by Donna Karan, creator of the "Seven Easy Pieces" philosophy of women's wardrobes and founder of the much imitated DKNY line of clothing, has donated $850,000 for a yearlong experiment combining yoga, meditation and aromatherapy as methods to enhanceregimens of chemotherapy and radiation.

The scientific world has been re-discovering the effects of Mind over Matter in physics and in cellular biology for a while now. In both fields it has become quite apparent that there is a strong mental (energetic) connection between our observing perception and the energy particles or cells that we are perceiving.

Author Bruce Lipton explains this very well in his book "Biology of Belief":

We all somehow "know" that the mind/body connection is key to real health. Are you tired of trying to find the words that describe how the mind and body are related, and why their relationships are important for proper health? A renaissance in Cell Biology now provides the cutting edge science - real science - to prove how holistic health therapies work! Research scientist Bruce Lipton, Ph.D., introduces a long-awaited paradigm shift in the biomedical sciences. Learn More...

Huge pyramids have recently been discovered -- considerably larger than those in Egypt . Bosnia is the place, and the height of the biggest pyramid is one third taller than the largest Giza pyramid, and once again there are three of them. Total height is 722 feet (that is a small mountain), while it was never noticed because of being buried in dirt. It was probably not intentionally buried, so we must ask ourselves how long does it take for drifting soil and dust to pile up that high. Perhaps there were volcanoes in the area and ash residues added to the pileup. . .

Neuroscientists find God in mushrooms Wednesday July 12, 2006

LONDON - A universal mystical experience with life-changing effects can be produced by the hallucinogen contained in magic mushrooms, scientists claimed yesterday. Forty years after Timothy Leary, the apostle of drug-induced mysticism, urged his 1960s hippie followers to "tune in, turn on, and drop out", researchers at Johns Hopkins University in the US have for the first time demonstrated that mystical experiences can be produced safely in the laboratory.
