Ong namo guru dev namo yoga journal7/31/2023 ![]() ![]() In some indigenous cultures, when a person is ill, the tribal doctor asks them, “When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing and telling your story?” The body is MEANT for movement and sound. This can be accomplished by using rhythmic music to accompany poses, simply playing music in the background during relaxation, or having the class chant and sing at the end of class. So put your hands together, acknowledge another person, say “ sat nam “or “namaste,” and spark a change in consciousness at a glandular level through your upper palate and pituitary.īy incorporating sacred music and chanting into their classes, yoga teachers can be on the cutting edge of the health and wellness movement, providing students unspeakable benefits by bringing them back to the infinite pulse of the universe and this restores their prana (energy). Even a small amount of sound current can be uplifting: it brings us back to our seed self and it allows the pituitary to feel a light and bright vibration and creates subtle changes over time that are cumulative and beneficial. The tongue strikes the upper palate and repeats these phrases that were first stated by wise sages in the throes of ecstasy or enlightenment. “Namaste,” “om shanti,” “ong namo guru dev namo,” all of these beautiful mantras are like yoga for your mouth and tongue. So when you chant out loud or say sacred words like “namaste” or “ namo,” you are part of what Yogi Bhajan called the “Actionary Revolution” of the glands. We are truly spiritual beings having hormonal experiences. This symphony of hormonal flow influences your every emotion and desire. This sweet spot is the place where as an embryo, the same tissue creating your soon-to-be-mouth and upper palate gently separated and formed the pituitary, the master gland, which directs all your hormonal activity. ![]() As your tongue strikes your upper palate, a spark is ignited at the upper palate. If you say just one word in greeting, for example, the sacred mantra “ Namaste,” you are using sound current to create change and awaken consciousness. As yoga teachers and practitioners, how do we explain and justify the profound changes that occur through chanting? Let’s explore some key anatomy structures and how they are shifted by sound. My love of anatomy and yoga forces me to question how this sound current serves and helps create changes in my consciousness. Skip forward a few years to my first Kundalini yoga class, where my teacher, Shiva Singh Khalsa, had us chanting mantras accompanied by his guitar, and I was permanently hooked by the incredible feelings of health and joy that came from chanting.įast-forward another 20 years, and the sacred sound current of Indian music pervades my entire practice. Just dipping my feet in and completely innocent of yoga and the sounds of Eastern music, I was giggling at the “weirdness” of it all. In my first yoga class, in Chicago, circa 1995, my best friend and I had to hide our nervous laughter as the instructor chanted “Om” at the beginning of class. It’s one thing for doctors to tell us to exercise to get healthy, but doctors of the future will tell us to sing, chant, and listen to vibrational, expansive music to be truly well. This instrument needs to be played to be healthy and stay in touch with its infinite pulse and beat. Our heart is a constant drumbeat, our voice is a beautiful violin, and our face is the concert hall. ![]() The design of the body is so exquisite that it is a beautiful musical instrument with its own percussion, string section, and acoustic cavities. ![]()

Terminal.app vs iterm2 for mac7/31/2023 ![]() ![]() For Mac users, who wish to get iTerm2 installed on their Macs, note that your Mac’s operating system must be 10.14 (macOS Mojave) or newer. If you are a Windows or a Linux user, there are other tools that can help improve the functionality of your base command-line tools. ITerm2 is specifically designed to serve as a Terminal replacement, which is why it’s not available on other operating systems. iTerm2 can only be installed on Macs that run on macOS 10.14 or later – the tool can be downloaded for free from its official site. ITerm2 is only available for Mac systems – it cannot be used on Windows or Linux systems. The app tool is very easy to install and can be downloaded for free, so if you tend to spend a lot of time working with the Terminal of your Mac, we highly recommend getting iTerm2 to make your work easier, faster, more efficient, and more effective. The features we’ve mentioned thus far are only a small portion of all the great improvements that iTerm2 brings to your base Terminal command line. With Instant Replay, you can revisit past moments of a given Terminal window and thus recover any text you’ve deleted but now want to restore. There is a huge variety of ways you can customize and configure the iTerm2 Terminal so that it best suits your needs and preferences. This feature allows you to use keyboard combinations to edit the text in a Terminal window. The algorithm of this feature seems to be quite effective, as it usually manages to correctly guess what you are trying to type by putting that word/phrase on the top of the suggestions list. AutocompleteĪ window with suggestions pops open every time you start typing a word that has already appeared in the current Terminal window. There’s even the option to export that history to a file on your drive. This feature does exactly what its name suggests – with iTerm2, you have the option to see the history of text you’ve recently copied and/or pasted in iTerm2. You can even specify which iTerm2 window will open with which keyboard shortcut. You can set a designated keyboard shortcut for iTerm2 that lets you summon an iTerm2 window with the press of that keyboard combination, no matter what app you are using at the moment. The Search tool quickly highlights all matching phrases in a given panel and has regular expression support. ITerm2 also has a nifty search too, that always stays on top of all other windows, so that it’s never obscured by the iTerm2 UI. This feature lets you separate any given tab into several panels, each of them with a different session shown in it – perfect for multitaskers and people who are working on large projects with many different moving parts Search Here is a quick overlook of some of the many benefits and additional features that come with installing iTerm2: Split panels If you need to use the Terminal command line of your Mac on a regular basis, installing iTerm2 on your Mac can be very helpful. ITerm2 on Mac is a powerful tool that replaces the built-in Mac Terminal, introducing to it a variety of improvements. We will have a quick look at some of those features below, and then we will tell you something about installing and setting up iTerm2. This app basically enhances the base Terminal functionality and adds an array of new and really helpful features that can help make your work easier, more effective, and more efficient. One of those ways is to install iTerm2 on your Mac. The default Terminal app that Macs have by default in their Utilities folder gets the job done, but if you are someone who needs to frequently work with a command line, then there are ways to make your work more efficient. iTerm2 on Mac is supposed to add new features to the default Terminal app and make it easier to use and work with. ITerm2 for Mac is a command-line tool that replaces the default Terminal command line once installed on the computer. ![]() Secret prey book7/31/2023 ![]() ![]() He had felt this way not long before, sensed the curling of an indefinable evil, and not only had it nearly gotten him killed, it had lost him his fiancee, who'd never been able to recover from the violence of the encounter.

'By far the best Prey' The Associated Press 'Don't start if you don't plan to finish it in one sitting' Richmond Times-Dispatch John Sandford has written extraordinary thrillers before, but nothing to top the startling twists and unrelenting suspense of Secret Prey. Sometime soon, unless he could stop it, there would be another death, and then still another, and Davenport couldn't help but wonder if maybe this time, the final death might not be his own. He had felt this way not long before, sensed the curling of an indefinable evil, and not only had it nearly gotten him killed, it had lost him the woman he loves.

Dominion Fertility: Medicated FET IVF Treatmentsĭominion Fertility has been a nationwide leader in making IVF treatments safe, affordable, and successful. The advantages of NC-FET are its simplicity with no injections (besides the HCG trigger shot) and minimal additional medications. However, medicated FETs do help patients circumvent the setbacks of Natural-Cycle FETs listed above. Pregnancy rates have not been shown to differ significantly between NC-FET and medicated FET. IVF Overview: Natural-Cycle vs Medicated FETs Women who have a progesterone allergy can use progesterone suppositories instead. Many clinics prescribe progesterone-in-oil injections to prepare the lining for embryo transfer. The choice of estrogen protocol is clinic-specific and should be discussed with your reproductive endocrinologist. Some clinics prescribe oral estrogens other clinics administer intramuscular estrogen shots twice a week, and still other clinics use transdermal estrogen patches twice a week. The choice of estrogen supplementation varies somewhat between clinics. The use of Lupron reduces the chances of cycle cancellation owing to unexpected ovulation to near zero. ![]() Some clinics prescribe GnRH agonists (such as Lupron) to their patients the month prior to a medicated FET cycle so as to reduce the chances of spontaneous ovulation. Three days prior to embryo transfer, the woman begins taking progesterone to modify the endometrial lining so that it will be receptive when the embryos are placed. In this type of FET, estrogen pills, shots, or patches are used to prepare the endometrium for embryo implantation. Medicated FET IVF TreatmentĪ medicated FET allows the couple to avoid some of the pitfalls associated with an NC-FET. As such, we only offer medicated FET services at this time. In these cases, patients can often pay much more for a Natural-Cycle FET pregnancy.ĭominion Fertility strives to support the most successful possible treatment options for our patients. While the advantage of fewer medications is often associated with cost savings for Natural-Cycle FET, it can take 3-4 attempts to achieve the same results as a medicated FET.If a cycle is suboptimal in terms of the estrogen level and endometrial development, then the embryos will not be thawed and the cycle will be canceled. NC-FET demands frequent patient monitoring around the time of ovulation.As such, it can be impossible to guarantee patients that they will have access to the most optimal transfer window. The optimal time for implantation may fall at a challenging time for patient and laboratory schedules. Unlike medicated FET, Natural-Cycle FET offers less control-allowing for very little planning or scheduling.However, this comes at the cost of several additional challenges and setbacks for patients: The primary benefit of Natural-Cycle FET is its minimal additional medications. Benefits and Challenges of Natural-Cycle FET In this way, the embryos can be replaced at approximately the time when they would normally be arriving in the uterus. Once the precise date of ovulation is set, then the uterine lining should be receptive to embryo transfer 5 days later (for embryos frozen on day 5 in a previous IVF cycle). Alternatively, ovulation can be induced with the administration of an HCG injection. ![]() In patients with predictable menstrual cycles, doctors can carefully monitor the cycle to determine the precise timing of ovulation. Natural Cycle FET is an option for women with regular ovulation and monthly menstrual cycles. The professionals at Dominion Fertility are here to provide some insight on these options and the differences between NC-FET and medicated FET. There are two possible options for performing a frozen embryo transfer (FET): Natural-Cycle FET (NC-FET) and medicated FET. ![]() ![]() If you do not understand what is causing this behavior, please contact us here.

On the back side, there’s a soft ambient light that can be programmed to gently wake you up along with your alarm. The display also shows the day and date, and can be dimmed extra-low, so as not to disturb light sleepers who require near-total darkness. Plus, reviewers have reported that the “sound quality is incredible,” and that it provides “decent bass and overall accurate tone,” making this a good pick if you’re planning to use your speaker often to stream music.

You may also want to consider one with an ambient light that can be programmed to soften before bed to help you relax, and slowly brighten in the morning to wake you gradually, so you can start your day calm and refreshed. You can’t go wrong with a classic buzzer, however, if waking up this way startles you or makes you feel groggy, you may want an alarm clock with multiple - and gentler - alarm tones, or one that allows you to wake up to your favorite song. The best Bluetooth alarm clocks do so much more than just wake you up - beyond performing as speakers for playing music and podcasts, some double as sound machines, device chargers, or ambient lights that mimic the sunrise or sunset.Īrguably the most important thing to consider in a Bluetooth alarm clock is the alarm itself. ![]() It can be hard to roll out of bed and get your day started, but a good Bluetooth alarm clock can help make it much more pleasant. ![]() AuthorWrite something about yourself.
