Yoga nidra accomplishes this through the powerful, ancient technique of focusing on what is known as the third eye, the area just between and above the eyebrows. This activates the pineal gland, causing it to secret more melatonin, a hormone that is known to induce restful sleep; reduce blood pressure; increase immune function; and prevent premature aging.

"The tradition of wrapping tree trunks or adorning branches of special trees is a visual statement that says, “We honor this tree and respect its vital presence.” It is often done with fiber rope, natural ribbon, or fabric and it is used to highlight unusual trees, as a supplication and/or protective measure. Tree wrapping has been practiced for thousands of years in countries across the world. In Japan, it has been elevated to an art form and derives from the Japanese Shinto belief that all natural forms are imbued with spirit. "

In this podcast, Dr. Amit Goswami discusses with Merryn Jose, how his childhood influenced his work, upward and downward causation, non-local consciousness, the law of attraction,  death, the soul, and the afterlife, and much more!   Amit Goswami, Ph. D. is a professor emeritus of physics (retired) at the University of Oregon, Eugene, OR where he has served since 1968. He is a pioneer of the new paradigm of science called ‘science within consciousness’, an idea he explicated in his seminal book, The Self- Aware Universe. He was featured in the film "What the Bleep Do We Know?” and its sequel “Down the rabbit hole” as well as his award winning documentary “The Quantum Activist.”

Adi-guru Das has been attracted to incense from a very young age and eventually as a monk with the Krishna movement, "I was able to travel in India and seek out better and better incenses.  I was later given charge of supplying incense for our London temples and other temples in Europe. What is so special about incense and food that is offered to Krishna is that the commercial element is removed as no-one really wants to offer something to God and cut corners! Therefore you will find that this temple grade incense is of a remarkable quality."

Goswami guides us through his theories with humor and illustrative stories (math phobics will be reassured as there is no math at all) and leads us to the same conclusion that every great religion has been saying for centuries -- that we are all connected. Once we realize that than global change becomes possible. As "The Quantum Activist" illuminates, when we realize that we are all one, then violence becomes unthinkable. If we are all connected to each other and to the earth, than stealing land or resources, or squandering them becomes impossible. We are only damaging ourselves when we damage the earth.
