Studies now support the added benefits of meditation to our health and our lifespan.

One Nobel Prize-winner is finding the scientific in the spiritual

Just like the ends of a rope or string, the tip-like telomeres within our DNA begin to fray over time, especially under stress. 

Damaged telomeres are linked to many diseases of aging - such as diabetes, cancer, depression, anxiety, etc. Thankfully, telomere damage can be slowed down and even reversed. 

Recent findings equate it this way: If your genes are the piano keys, and your lifestyles choices are the pianist, then meditation may just be Mozart. 

We owe it to ourselves to create as much harmony and balance in our lives. In however way we can, no matter how challenged we are. 

OM shanti indeed. 

2019 revelation

Last year I posted about the age of Kali Yuga on my Change Warrior blog. In 2017 I was fierce yet more hopeful.

If as most believe we are smack in the throes of Kali Yuga until at least 2025 - what then do we do in the meantime?

The general consensus is that Kali Yuga or the iron age already ended on the 21st of December 2012 with the end of the Mayan calendar.

It will take approximately 15 years for the new cycle to begin. We are now in that transition period between 2012 and 2027. The next cycle, Dwapara Yuga, starts in or around 2027.

Why is there such a difference of opinion among various Masters and Gurus or theorists and historians about these dates and their cycles?

According to sacred scripture and historical research much has to do with two main aspects:

[1] Spiritual teachings are often interpreted or presented in different ways throughout the ages - according to the needs of its seekers or audience.

[2] The speed at which humanity experiences these cycles can be affected either way by our conscious awareness at the time these events are unfolding.

In truth, it all boils down to which path or teacher we personally choose to follow, whether we accept the teachings of that path, and how wholeheartedly we apply it in our lives.

Popular belief today encourages us with the practice of kriyas and meditations designed to raise complete body awareness. To prepare the physiological body, nervous system, and intellectual mind to handle the energy of Kundalini rising within us.

Whatever your culture, tradition or belief it would be wise to pay attention and heed your body's needs. May the road to wellness unfold well for each of us.
