Fluoride: The Definitive Truth & Your Water Supply | Merilyn Haines #015

  Listen on iTunes / Apple Podcast App Listen on Andriod FLUORIDE: One of the most pernicious toxins! But people don’t quite fully understand it and thus are confused which results in people not averting the dangers of fluoride. Learn the cold hard facts and science and understand the situation occurring in one of your life basics, your water supply! Fluoride is a sensitive and controversial topic, but it is also confusing for people because they hear so many different things. That is why we need to get definitive. And by the end of this episode, I hope you are definitive about your view on fluoride. We are not going to tell you what to do, what water to use. We are going to give you the cold hard science and the cold hard facts. You have a right to know about the industrial systems that are providing society. Then, you can go ahead and make an INFORMED decision on what you, your community, your children, your animals – drink and bathe in.   ABOUT MERILYN HAINES Merilyn is a co-founder of Queenslanders for Safe Water, a group which holds concerns about adverse health effects of water fluoridation and the issue that it is unethical mass medication. Merilyn is now retired, but worked for over 30 years as a medical laboratory scientist in both the government and private sectors. She first became concerned about water fluoridation many years ago when a close relative health suffered from water fluoridation. Merilyn has played a major role in removing fluoride in water supplies across the state of Queensland by educating governments on the issue so that they themselves formally reject fluoridation. Queensland Interventions: When mandatory fluoridation was being introduced to Queensland in 2008, Queenslanders for Safe Water regularly contacted each Queensland MP and sent them many scientific publications and articles on fluoridation. When state-mandated fluoridation was overturned end of 2012, Queenslanders for Safe Water then started contacting every Councillor in every Qld Council with information.   Merilyn, along with a medical colleague gave presentations to a number of Qld Councils. There are now 29 Qld Councils which have formally rejected fluoridation. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: What got Merilyn into being an activist My sister suffered severe and distressing dermatitis when she moved to fluoridated Townsville – then one of the few fluoridated towns in Qld. Being such a controversial and heated topic, and I thank you for being on the front line here, What Hurdles or friction have you suffered? Defamation and verbal abuse – mostly from a very senior Qld Health Dentist who is the Qld govt appointed lobbyist for forced fluoridation. At public meetings I have both inferred I am a liar, or outright called a liar by this dentist. On radio and he has claimed that I make up statistics. In newspaper articles, I and other activists opposed to fluoridation are referred to as nutters, flat earthers, conspiracy theorists, extreme fringe groups and anti-vaxxers.   Types of Fluoride It’s not just one chemical. It’s not just a simple yes or no. It’s not B&W. Calcium Fluoride occurs in nature and naturally found in the body. However, high levels in water cause devastating dental and skeletal fluorosis and other damage in a number of countries. We do point that the most common fluoride chemicals deliberately added to drinking water do not even occur in nature (Sodium Silicofluoride and Hydrofluorosilicic Acid) but are created from the fluoride waste captured in the smokestacks of phosphate fertiliser plants. Silicofluorides have never been tested. They don’t clean them up, they have heavy metals in them. These chemicals have never properly tested for safety: “Fluorosilicates have never been tested for safety in humans.” ~ Dr. Hardy Limeback, BSc, DDS, PhD Liquid Hydrofluorosilicic Acid used in NSW or Victoria comes from the Incitec Pivot fertiliser plant in Geelong. In West Australia it comes from the Wesfarmers owned CSBP fertiliser plant. Hydrofluorosilicic Acid is extremely dangerous and extremely corrosive and has to be tankered in special rubber lined tankers. It comes directly from the fertiliser plants to water treatment plants.Videos show it burning through concrete at a concentrated level. And at a diluted level, what do you think it’s doing on a cellular level? Sodium fluoride is usually added to water in smaller rural towns because it comes in smaller bags. Sodium fluoride was the first chemical to be used to fluoridate water, it was originally from the waste fluoride left over from Aluminium smelting – but then they moved mostly to the Silicofluoridesfrom phosphate fertilisers. Sulfuryl Fluoride– another kettle of fish that most have never heard of. It is a termite fumigant allowed to be used in America and Australia. In Australia, its use is allowed with certain foods – all whole grains, all whole nuts, all dried fruits. Much higher levels in food allowed than in water, but no follow up testing is done to see how much fluoride is in foods. – The fluoride added to toothpaste pharmaceutical grade; water fluoridation chemicals are industrial grade and are allowed to contain small amounts of heavy metals such as arsenic, lead, cadmium and mercury. Why was Fluoride Initially Added to Water and Why Does it Continue to Be? – Most countries in the world DO NOT fluoridate! Fluoridation is an American idea that started in the US in the 1940s when World War 2 was still raging. In the 1920s in America a dentist was working for an aluminum company called ALCOA in Colorado investigating whether Aluminium in water was causing ugly brown stains on teeth. At the time aluminum saucepans were suspected of causing cancer. It was discovered that it was actually fluoride in water that caused the bad stains (now known as dental fluorosis). Some years later there was an association made with higher fluoride levels in water and less tooth decay. It was not investigated whether higher levels of calcium or other minerals in the water were responsible for less decay. An executive of ALCO resigned his position and went

The Enlightened Jesus with Dr. Kenneth Chandler #012

  Listen on iTunes / Apple Podcast App Listen on Andriod Uplifting Christianity to the high dignity and essence of Jesus’ own and true teachings. See and experience the deeper and true meaning of these scriptures and teachings which are based on pure consciousness, enlightenment and transcendence. ABOUT KENNETH CHANDLER Through careful scholarly detective work, Kenneth has showed the essence of Jesus’ teachings. Dr. Kenneth Chandler received a Ph.D. from the University of Texas where he specialised in philosophy of science and theory of knowledge. He taught philosophy and the humanities for twenty years and has lectured at leading universities in Europe, Asia and North America on awakening the full potential of human consciousness. Most recently he was a scholar in residence at the University of Chicago. Dr. Chandler was raised in a strong Christian family. The skills of careful critical thinking he acquired in his academic career did not cause him to deny his Christian upbringing but led instead to the discover of the deeper meaning of Jesus’ own teaching. He found that Jesus described a kind of experience that is universally valid and that is the true foundation of Christianity. Dr. Chandler’s discerning scholarly detective work brings to light an aspect of Jesus’ teaching that has been hidden for nearly two thousand years. He found that the true ground of validity of Jesus’ teaching is the universal experience of eternal pure consciousness Jesus gave his disciples. Paul helped bring faith to millions of people by focusing on the “sign and miracle” of the risen Christ: but the true meaning and power of Jesus’ teaching is that we too can experience the eternal consciousness that ever knows itself and the Kingdom of Heaven within. Dr. Chandler’s research has uncovered the universal experience of pure consciousness that is described by the greatest minds of the East and West. This experience is the same across all cultures and is a foundation of well-grounded knowledge. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: Kens Project: The Experience of Pure Consciousness Collecting exact expressions of pure consciousness from the greatest thinkers of the main steam from the east and west. This includes the Veda of course, but also western intellectual cultural spiritual heritage such as the Greeks, Roman, Dekardt and went right through History of Philosophy right through to the 21st century. Jesus is just one of them. The Sources of Jesus’ Teaching of Enlightenment Which is expressed in two basic sources: The Bible – The teaching of enlightenment is included there. But if you don’t have a clear paradigm of what enlightenment is you don’t see it. 7-14 gospels written down by his disciples and then lost. What is exciting is that these teachings are currently now being revealed. These scriptures such as the lost gospels have only recently been discovered, mostly in the twentieth century.  Jesus’ Teaching of Enlightenment The experience of Transcending. Described in all traditions. Transcending and Experiencing Pure Consciousness  What is transcending? Deep settling of the activity of the mind which causes our attention to go deeper, subtler and quieter until we remain awake with clear restful alertness to experience pure consciousness which is unbounded, unchangeable, blissful and infinite. The eternal Light of God – what Jesus called the all-pervading pure consciousness.  What is Enlightenment? A natural result of developing the full potential of human consciousness. The potential to attain enlightenment is a universal human capability inherent in the human nervous system. Thus, every human being has this capacity to attain enlightenment.  Enlightenment is a state of consciousness that is far more knowing, more vital and more blissful than ordinary waking state.  It provides an ability to act more effectively in the word and achieve excellence in all endeavours. As consciousness develops, one gains a kind of direct knowledge and expanded knowledge of the universal consciousness – the foundation of all life. An Experience Based Approach vs Faith: This needs to dominate in religion, then people of all religions will rise above conflict and dogma and live the supreme enlightenment Jesus taught is possible. When established in the inner light, we know the inner Divine life of Jesus in our own experience. Paul teachings was a faith approach. The “Lost” or “Original” Gospels that have now been found. Approximately 14 lost gospels record Jesus’ true teachings. Transcending and pure consciousness. These were written by Jesus’ own disciples, while Jesus was alive. Some of them are: The Gospel of Mary – “how to rest in silence.” The Gospel of Thomas The (Secret) Gospel of Mark John – “The great unbounded one.” Judas The Saviour. Gospel of Mathew Common aspects and some of the exact same phrases of Jesus’ teachings from these gospels that are also in Vedic texts. A major difference between the teaching of Jesus and the teaching of Paul (todays Christianity): Heaven is On Earth. It is not something one acquires after dropping their body and leaving this earth. “The kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” Enhancing the collective consciousness with the ability to bring heavenly light and coherence to everyone to eliminate all negative thinking, war, crime, corruption, sickness and all the problems of the modern man. Jesus’ teaching of Yoga: “Take my yoke upon you… and ye shall find rest to your souls.” ~ Jesus. Mathew, 11:29 Yoke from the Greek yugos, which is closely related to the Sanskrit word yoga. Jesus mentioning “AUM”: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God.” John 1: 1-4 Aum is the primordial sound of creation. The (Secret) Gospel of Mark St. Clement was well aware that the Secret Gospel of Mark was kept at the Church in Alexandria. Clement commanded in his letter to Alexandria that the priests there: “deny even under oath [that Mark had written a secret gospel] for one does not have to speak the whole truth to everyone.” However, Clement privately encouraged people to be initiated in the Mysteries

Himalayan Herbs & The Future of Ayurvedic Products with Dr. Ketan Joshi #011

  Listen on iTunes / Apple Podcast App Listen on Andriod Medicinal Plants: from Himalayan Villages to the western marketplace. Astoundingly incorporating Ayurvedic herbs in common food and cosmetic products that you would have never imagined (ice-cream, chewing gum, cosmetics). ABOUT DR. KETAN JOSHI Dr. Ketan Joshi is a highly experieced food and drink scientist based in England with a PhD in sugar. After years of creating products for corporates, he wanted to do something different. After identifying one of the current global trends “Go Back to Nature,” Dr. Joshi set out on a mission to the Himalayas: to bring organic Ayurvedic recipes to the masses. Dr. Joshi spent years researching the local people’s way of life and came to know them very well. They shared ancient recipes with him, that had been passed down through their families over generations, which they credited for their long life and vitality despite virtually no wealth. Ketan  analysed these herbs at a scientific level and then created the Wise Herb Company. Ketan has established an impressive Sustainable Initiative for Local Himalayan Families, employing over 1400 small farming families within a 25-30km radius to growing Ayurvedic herbs as well as sponsoring young girls to get educated. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: Ketan’s journey from being a Food Scientist and working with big corporates to creating Ayurvedic herbal formulas. “Back to Nature” – One of the 12 global current trends of the word which Ketan is pursuing. Where in the world people are still living with nature. There are only 3 or 4 places. The crisis of the younger generation of mountain farmers uninterested and leaving for the cities. Processed food and water and our modern lifestyle that has triggered societies desire to “go back to nature.” Ketan’s Sustainable Initiative for Local Himalayan Families: He has employed over 1400 small farming families within a 25-30km radius to start growing herbs for him, rather than them growing foods and selling them to the “Himalayan mafia” for next to nothing. Sponsoring young girls from Himayalan villages to get educated rather than being forced into marriage in their early teenage years.   Wild-Grown – many levels above “organic.” The purity of the Himalayan farms and lack of pesticides. The creation process of herbal formulas: Hand cutting vs. Machine cutting and why Ketan does not use machines to produce his herbal products. Heat and certain blade fibres from machines kill volatile oils in the plants. Sattva (purity) and micro-biome are healthier in hand-cut herbs. The stress levels of plants. Harvesting particular herbs at particular times of the day. The Wise Herb Company’s Herbal Tea Infusions based on Ketan’s observations in the mountains. How 80-year-old women carry very heavy sacks up mountains at high altitudes. How truck drivers drive 30-40 tonne trucks through the windy roads of the Himalayas every day for long hours with optimal mental energy. How 80-year-old men plough fields with oxen all day from 6 am to till the evening. How 70-year-old men pulled Ketan and his crew out of rivers. Turmeric – How to increase its bio-availability and absorb the benefits. Turmeric varies in taste, curcumin level and colour according to where it is grown. How to tell if the herbs or tea you are buying is legitimate quality: Triangular tea bags with extra space for stronger infusion of herbs. A simple at-home test to see if your herbal teas are 100% natural or if it has artificial colours and flavours: The herbs should expand and swell. The uncertainty of India, and why Ketan does all his herbal processing himself in England. Why Ayurvedic herbs are not going to remain a niche industry. Big corporates are requesting and enquiring Ketan’s help to implement Ayurvedic herbs into confectionary, chewing gum, chocolate, hair gels, sunscreen – common products! They are watching. This is all because there is a need of the time to go back to nature. SUPPORT THE SHOW SUBSCRIBE RATE AND REVIEW ON ITUNES Please leave me a comment below (I love to read every single one).

The Sun as a Divine Healer for Optimal Health | Dylan Smith and Laura Poole #010

  Listen on iTunes / Apple Podcast App Listen on Andriod Throughout evolution, exposure to sunlight and the photosynthesis of vitamin D has been critically important for the evolution of land vertebrates. But all of a sudden in the past few decades, we have been burying the Sun from our lives while simultaneously increasing our exposure to artificial light. Could this be a foundational mistake for our health? Has the status quo’s fear of the sun been blown out of proportion?  Circadian medicine won the most recent Nobel Peace Prize saying that a resolution towards chronic disease is to live in-tune with our natural circadian rhythms. Simply, ‘go back to nature’ is now the prescription for healing. Dylan and Laura will share how to work with the Sun to optimise your health and immune system, so you can re-establish this important and foundational human-Sun relationship. This recording is from a talk where Laura interviewed Dylan in Melbourne in September 2018. ABOUT LAURA POOLE Laura Poole is a Vedic meditation teacher, speaker, writer and community builder. She has trained intensively over the past decade with great masters in Australia, India and the United States. Based in Melbourne, Laura shares the wisdom of Vedic meditation, Vedanta and Ayurveda, making it relevant for living in today’s world. She is a truly dedicated leader and entrepreneur in the Melbourne meditation space, inspiring people to take care of their mental and physical health while encouraging them to make a real difference in the world. Laura is the founder of Mahasoma – a movement that is creating a new cultural narrative through the embodiment of wisdom and practice. She was also an original co-founder/co-creator of 1 Giant Mind Australia and its free ‘Learn to Meditate’ app. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: How Dylan became fascinated and in love with the sun. Forming a relationship with the sun. Like any sentient being, we are in a reciprocal relationship. We need to reciprocally give our attention and energy in order to obtain the benefits that the sun offers. Practices to form a relationship with the sun for a mutual exchange of attention, awareness and admiration. Surya Namaskar: Sun Salutation, a devotional practice to Surya (sun). Circadian Medicine – What the latest Nobel prize was won for. Circadian Rhythms: living in tune with natures cycles and your own biological cycles. This is Ayurveda 101. This had the Ayurvedic community laughing but also provided well over-due relief. The Nobel prize was won for such fundamental natural law (Veda) because the prescription for healing the epidemic of chronic disease is to live in tune with nature. The Vedic worldview. The sun as a sentient being and one of the supreme forms of nature. The Personality of the Sun: Very consistent: always on time, unconditionally showing up. Fiery, Heat Energy Power Generous – Gives life unconditionally to everyone. Central – everything is moving around it. Illuminating – allows us to see. Gives us the capability to illuminate ideas within our own mind. The Lighting Crisis: Burying the sun from our lives and replacing this with artificial blue light. The sun providing the body with energy by generating DC electric current and activating mitochondria function. Receiving an Altered Spectrum of Light The problem with sunscreen, windows and glasses – you are blocking particular spectrums of light, so the light hitting you is an altered spectrum of light that is not holistic and causes damage. The eyes as a seat of pitta (fire/metaboliser). The importance of melatonin: “The king of hormones.” Our Mistaken Fear of the Sun Especially in Australia. Breaking free of social conditioning, questioning science and thinking clinically. Why the Sun Rarely Causes Skin Cancer Dermatologists can’t explain the growth in melanoma because while melanoma is increasing, our exposure to the sun is reducing.  The difference between morning and evening light spectrums. Under Active Thyroid – A common problem. Thyroid hormones are created by the pituitary gland which is turned on by light. The Vital Time for Sleep: 10pm-2am Absorbing micro-nutrients from food, regulating hormones. The Influence of LED Lights (Screens, Lights) and Light Temperatures on our Hormones Hacking our Computer and Phone Screens to Reduce Light Temperature for Hormonal Health Phone: Change your light temperature on your phone setting to “most warm” and have it one 24/7.  Computer: Iris software as a shield for your computer screen. The Epidemic of Eye Diseases: Pre mature-blindness, macular degeneration, dry eyes. Practices to mitigate these issues. Nasya (Nasal Drops) – Medicated Oil to sniff up into the brain to lubricate the whole head, neck and throat.  Detoxifies and rejuvenates the pineal gland. Learn more.

UFOs and Sentient Beings | Colonel Leeds III #008

  Listen on iTunes Are humans really the only highly evolved beings on this planet today? Perhaps consider broadening your horizon into more subtle realms and study history a bit deeper than what the norm has taught with their limited chronological compilations. In this episode we touch on a BUNCH of various events, conspiracies, esoteric ideas, all considering sentient beings other than our human selves, and of course, other than the plants and animals we love, recognise as sentient beings and care about, o so much. But it’s not just other sentient beings. We also explore history and historical events with a more holistic approach and with a wider lens than the close minded status quo ideology that we were taught in history class. By the way what we talk about is all very vedic. Veda is the knowledge governing the unity of the laws of nature and human consciousness of which yoga, mediation and Ayurveda come from. We touch on a lot of parallels with the Veda and since we only touch on this, I urge you to check out the show notes on where I write about these aspects in more detail. Bill has a lot to say, so this episode is really a forspisher of many ideas for you to consider, and if you want to dive deeper, you can study these further yourself and check out the show notes. ABOUT COLONEL WILLIAM LEEDS III After law school Bill entered into the army around 24 years old and was active in service and reserves for approximately 24 years, including being a colonel for 6 years, which is the second highest rank after a general. Being in the US military meant Bill could travel anywhere for free on any aeroplane. So, he found a love for travelling but then he learnt Transcendental Meditation in 1976 and learnt to travel inside. As his consciousness expanded as he evolved, he was exposed to government’s interactions with aliens and other sentient beings. Since then, he has extensively researched the topic along with other military and government colleagues from USA and other countries. Now Bill is 78 years old, retired and enjoys meditating and panchakarma, while still keeping up to date, researching and sharing his library and knowledge about conspiracy phenomenons. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: The Roswell UFO incident, 1947Reported in the book “Crash at Corona” (1992) by Stanton Friedman.A saucer crashed at Roswell, New Mexico, and several alien bodies were recovered.Bill was appointed to interview the first man who saw the crash. Paul Hellyer – former defence minister of Canada.The current big speaker who know a great deal as he was the minister of defence for Canada. Alien Races:Paul Hellyer used to count there was 51, now he counts over 81, including: The Greys – most common race of aliens. Anunnaki – helping our civilisation grow. Did DNA work with us to help us mine gold. Reptilians Some of the Aliens were in contact with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. He taught them how to know themselves. Human Qualities in AliensSome of the races, particularly “The Greys,” have emotions and have trouble laughing. They approached Maharishi Mahesh Yogi to help with this. They reproduced through cloning and used human females to produce hybrids. They used various communication methods, mostly by telepathy. They have been here for hundreds of thousands of years. They are friendly. They don’t eat us. Secret US Alien Executive Agreement President Dwight Eisenhower signed an executive agreement with the Aliens in 1958. You can obtain the agreement documents from Stanton Friedman. It was released by the Freedom Information Act. A treaty force between the republican of United States of America AND [the rest is blocked out]. It was a treaty not with a country, but with something else, like the aliens. He gave authorisation for them to uses certain bases on land and under the sea in the continent of the United States without interference. Also perhaps Antartica. The Reasons Aliens are Here: They are here to help us. They don’t want us to destroy the planet. Nuclear warfare destroyed Mars hundreds of thousands of years ago. The Aliens don’t want that to happen here on earth. The Atlantean Root Race – one of the root races as a stage in human evolution in esoteric cosmology. Root races existed mainly on now-lost continents millions of years ago. Hanumans or Adams bridge – A bridge between India and Sri Lanka. Dated 18,400 years ago, this was proof of an ability to build advanced technology. Why other sentient beings are interested in and care about planet earth and humans. Evolution process: Akasha (space) – mineral – atoms – molecules – plants – animals – humans. It all starts with consciousness. We are going through that process in meditation like Vedic Meditation and Transcendental Meditation and advanced development techniques like Siddhis (a sequence of creating a perfected human with paranormal powers the way nature intended a human to be constructed and manifested). The sentients beings intervene with human civilisation to maintain peace on earth. They have done this by: Turning off nuclear systems and delivery methods. Four times in Russia they stopped the firing of nuclear weapons. Aliens will shut down the current nuclear button of Kim Jong-un, North Korea’s supreme ruler. He wouldn’t be able to do it. The main countries of the world know the aliens have been here since the 50s and 60s. Flying Saucers Vimanas According to the Vedas, a Vimana is any self-moving aerial car sometimes serving as a seat or throne to the Gods, sometimes self-moving and carrying its occupant through the air. It can be a temple or palace flying in the sky. RigVeda, verses 1.164.47-48 are evidence for the idea of “mechanical birds”: kṛṣṇáṃ niyânaṃ hárayaḥ suparṇâ / apó vásānā dívam út patantitá âvavṛtran sádanād ṛtásyâd / íd ghṛténa pṛthivî vy ùdyatedvâdaśa pradháyaś cakrám ékaṃ / trîṇi nábhyāni ká u tác ciketatásmin sākáṃ triśatâ ná śaṅkávo / ‘rpitâḥ ṣaṣṭír ná calācalâsaḥ “Dark the descent: the birds are golden-coloured; up to the heaven they fly robed in the waters.Again descend they

Alchemising the Essence of Traditional Medicine | Dr. Jimi Wollumbin #007

  Listen on iTunes Lets not only explore some of the gems, techniques and knowledge from a range of traditional medicine but let’s cultivate capabilities to relate with the essence of these ancient lineages in order to heal using a more direct, holistic and powerful approach. Set at the feet of Mt Wollumbin (Mt Warning) in the Northern Rivers of NSW at Jimi’s healing sanctuary, this interview explores traditional healing gems and techniques derived from a diverse catalogue of ancient lineages. That is what Dr. Jimi has uniquely cultivated. An ability to cross-pollinate medical traditions then apply that in his clinic and teachings while maintaining professional sovereignty. Jimi sheds insight into the root causes of disease by exploring deep and subtle primary wounds. His approach is understanding and communing with the essence of a herb, a medical device, a body system, disease or a patient, in order to heal holistically. This is what makes a physician at the top of their game. This interview is basically me picking Jimi’s brain on all cool things traditional medicine while he shares his philosophical views and approach. I also enquire about his journey of moving from tradition to tradition to cultivate his own flavour of healing while maintaining respect and authentic identity. ABOUT DR. JIMI WOLLUMBIN Whether he is presenting at the UN or at a village health co-operative in rural India, Jimi is always a highly engaging speaker, writer and educator. With 19 years clinical experience and almost as much in community development, Jimi combines his deep knowledge of holistic medicine with a passion for social causes and world health. As the social entrepreneur that founded One Health Organisation in 2005, he has since steered it to become the largest holistic and integrative healthcare NGO in the world – having distributed roughly 9 metric tonnes of medicine to hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged communities across the globe. Jimi’s private clients value his obvious passion for traditional medical practices and the way in which he combines aspects of the traditions of India, China, Tibet and Persia that continue to inspire him. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: How Jimi got the name Wollumbin – the indigenous name of the mountain where Jimi lives. Mt Wollumbin as the “Ajna” (third eye) of Australia. (6:10) Cross-pollinating medical modalities and reviving living traditions. (8:30) Jimi’s personal journey and experience with medicine. (13:30) Jimi’s journey with Ayurveda. The common grammar that underlies Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine. (16:30) Ayurveda and herbal medicine is a labour of love. (22:34) Jimi’s platform of practice – alternative to the alternatives. (23:10) Accessing deep and subtle primary wounds as root causes of disease. “What really needs to be healed here?” (24:30) Pulse diagnosis: deep intimacy of sentients touching sentients. (35:35) Starting to learn Pulse Diagnosis. How to approach it. “Feel” the pulse. (39:35) Leech Therapy: Raktamokshana (Blood liberation). (44:05) Used in 30 hospitals alone in NSW. Why in the European tradition they used to call physicians “leeches.” (47:50) Pan-Indo European Culture: Root culture of Europe encompassing 450 languages. (48:18) Understanding the essence of a medical instrument or herb. Understanding the basic gestalt of the pattern, principle, idea, notion or spirit of a herb or medical device (such as a leech) in order to know how to apply that to the basic gestalt, pattern and principle of a disease. (50:23) The qualities and nature of a leech: dark, night, yin, cool, feminine, water, flowing. (52:25) Uses of leech therapy: Use for something that is hot and not flowing. The most potent anticoagulant known to man (hirudin). All conditions of the blood and excess heat. “Just as the swan drinks only the milk from a diluted milk, similarly the leeches drink only the bad blood first from the pool of (vitiated) blood.” ~ Vaghbata. Other body treatments Jimi utilises: Svedana, Bastis, Shirodhara. (59:46) Healing response of Kati Basti: Warm oil penetrates drives deep down into the tissues and doshas which allows vata (the primary vital force and subtle winds of the body) to flow and for blood to move. 3 Modes of Ayurvedic Blood Letting and Cupping: (01:01:43) Historically used to suck the disease-causing spirits out of the body. Now used to suck the wind out. Move stagnant blood without opening the vein (a mild form of venesection). Toning through taking blood out. Taking a little blood out of a weak person to stimulate the marrow for strength. Treat “hot” infections. Why anaemic people can die from getting fed iron supplements. Disease is a spiritual phenomenon. Ayurveda is old as nature actually. (01:03:14) Disease manifesting due to violation of natural law. Excess iron causing immunological problems, liver strain and cardiac risk. Especially in men who don’t have a chance to shed iron need iron clearance. (01:08:15) Causes of excessive iron: (01:09:40) Iron age. To much arien arterial energy and not enough venus like yin energy. We have stopped blood letting. Earth pollution and heavy metals interacting with iron. Jimi’s favourite herbs: (01:12:28) Angelica: Finland’s sacred and most revered herb. Shamans would use in a range of shamanic practices. Gained its fame during the plague. It was revered by angels and it was an angel that told suffering humanity that angelica would assist in fighting off the plague. Pungent taste (Katu rasa) helps with phlegmatic, kapha, leukkoria, phlegm on lungs – bronchial infection. Low agni and invisible phlegm. Useful for phlegmatic psychologically and physiologically issues (similar to Kapha). Immune booster. Gentle enough for children to use. Adrenal boosters that are stimulants in disguise vs. adaptogens. (01:15:18) – Ginseng, rhodiola, cordyceps – high doses makes them stimulates, exhausting and healing. In low doses they won’t be. Adaptogens have deep tonic properties are Qi tonics and kidney tonics that form ojas faster. Ashwagandha – an adaptogen whose root literally smells like a horse. Balances vata and the nervous system. The “sleepy nightshade.” (01:18:50) Today’s most common health issues Jimi sees in practice: Endocrine disharmony and hormonal problems that have adrenal fatigue at their root due to flight or fight constantly turned on. (01:21:32) Parasympathetic nervous system: “Rest and digest.”

Immunising your Baby Effectively and Naturally | Dr. A.V. Raju #006

  Listen on iTunes Immunising baby or child. I’m not talking about vaccinations, but practical innate interventions to not only strengthen your baby, prevent disease and infection, but for them to be the most radiant, healthy baby of the lot! Ayurvedic master, Dr. A.V. (Krishna) Raju will talk about the importance of Ayurvedic oil massage (Abhyanga) for a baby. Then Dylan Smith will share other ways to immunise your baby through balancing the mother’s health, herbs for the baby, diet, and other specific regimen. ABOUT DR. VAIDYA A.V. KRISHNA RAJU The Raju Family are internationally renowned leading experts in authentic Ayurveda (the science of health and longevity). Practicing for over 13 generations, their speciality is a most refined, accurate and comprehensive patient evaluation through Pulse Diagnosis. They also specialise in creating very effective and individualised treatments using precise knowledge and application of rare and powerful herbal formulas. Vaidya Krishna Raju is the director and head doctor at his family clinic in Hyderabad, India, where they treat thousands of people who travel from all over the world for their expert treatment and advice for everything from prevention to the seemingly incurable. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: The two most important factors for baby are bath and abhyanga (oil massage), daily. Preventing Disease – With Abhyanga we can satisfy vata very easily. There are many vata diseases, much more than the other doshas. So we pacify vata from the childhood, we can prevent so many diseases. Detoxifies – That is why it is important to bathe the baby after, to wash off the toxins the massage “pulled out” via lipophilic action. Improves muscle and bone growth. “Sramapaha” – reduces exertion. Improves sleep – by pacifying the nervous system. Abhyanga is like exercise to a baby. Sesame Oil – Improves calcium levels, bone and hair growth. Regimen – After delivery give massage every day except for next 11 days. Head is the most important area to massage – Strengthens the skull, prevents headaches and enhances sensory health. Oils to use for massage – Ideally medicated oils, otherwise cold-pressed extra-virgin coconut oil, cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil. Beware with sesame oil as it may cause a skin reaction or allergy depending on the baby. Other methods of Ayurvedic Immunisation: (12:55) Balance mum’s physiology – post-natal herbs, garlic, ghee, ojas increasing foods. Just giving baby-abhyanga will increase oxytocin in the mother. Ensure proper breastfeeding. Herbs for baby – swarna prasa, shiva drops, pusya drops, swasakastank yog. (15:02) 40 days of intimacy between mum and baby. Diet – timely food, proper food introduction. Sattvic (pure) environment in the home. Bath – give after abhyanga. Lukewarm baths daily. RESOURCES Ayurvedic Post Natal Care Plan.

Fluctuating Between a Celibate Monk and Successful Businessman While Exploring the World’s Saints, Healers and Mystics | Conan Mischer #005

  Listen on iTunes What is the most evolutionary thing you can be doing right now?The need of the time must be attended to in this world. Are you a worthy candidate that will respond to this call from the universe? How much of your energy and time can you give to servicing the community, economy and society at large? Or is it best for you to recluse and live like a monk? Go live in a cave in the Himalayas or a Sanskrit only speaking village and meditate full time. Go seeking amongst holy places like India to visit sacred sites, meet holy saints and receive unique healings from extraordinarily gifted people. Conan Mischer has been infatuated with such experiences throughout his journey of life. I was so astounded and loved hearing his stories that I had to share them with you. ABOUT CONAN MISCHER Conan has been an advanced meditator for decades. He has met and mingled with astonishing people which provided profound life experiences. At the same time, he has been successful in university and business. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: Book that changed Conans life – Andrew Weil – holistic health and meditation. (6:00) Perfect Health by Deepak Chopra – a life-changing book that is a great introduction to Ayurveda. (06:20). Indulging to much in the absolute state of Being can cause lack of integration in the always changing, relative world. (11:10) Householder vs. the Recluse (Sanyasi) – How relevant is it in today’s time for westerners to live a recluse lifestyle such as meditating full time in the mountains? (13:30) The vedic saying that sums of the whole Veda quite well: “Established in Being, perform action.” (“Yogasta kuru karmani.”) ~ Bhagavad Gita, chapter 2, verse 48. What technique are you using to become established in Being? It will differ for each individual. Then how will you readjust to the relative, every changing world. (16:30) New Mavericks – Vedic business consulting. (17:55) Vedic Vibration Technology. Subtle therapy consisting of blowing primordial sounds into the body. (20:26) Healing on the subtle level – Vedic Pulse Vibration, Raju family of Vaidyas, Banana Treatment for Women’s Health. (21:28) Working at the atomic level (subtle) is so much more powerful than working at the molecular level (gross). Atomic energy vs. chemical energy. (23:17) Sanskrit – An onomatopoetic language, not a symbolic language. The first child of the language of nature. (23:48) Nadi Palm Leaf Readers – Based on a thumbprint, they investigate your past and predict your future. (24:15). Brahmasthan of India – A village in the geographical centre of India which encompasses a concentrate of full time vedic ceremonies and chantings. (27:00) Yoga Asanas (posture) as a tool to integrate and bridge the gap between the transcendent and the relative. Especially for those who are “up in the clouds,” “airy fairy,” or ungrounded. (28:53) The true meaning of Yoga and the difference between Yoga and exercise. An effortless, transcending yoga practice that provides the benefits of blood circulation, flexibility and strength. (29:47) Himalayas – Jyotirmath – seat and home of the Shankarcharya King of the Yogis. Badrinath (Vishnu temple) in Uttrakandh. (31:35) Tiruvanamalai – A mountain in south India that itself is a Shiva Lingam (form of Lord Shiva, the destruction operator in nature). (37:05) Experiences with Amma Mata Amritanandamayi (The hugging the saint), an Avatar of the mother divine. Stepping into a spiritual jacuzzi whenever Conan got near her. (40:00) The course of miracles – community. (43:00) Jesus Christ was a Vedic master. Christ suffered is a faulty conclusion. It doesn’t tell you about his consciousness. A wincing body does not mean the consciousness is suffering. It is rather attributing the consciousness of the person making the claim. (48:55) Mother Meera – A female saint who gives you “Darshan” – simply by looking at you, she lures you to her high state of consciousness, giving you a taste of the euphoria and blissful consciousness that you have potential to move into and Be in, all the time. (52:51) Phillipino Psychic Surgeons – Opening up peoples bodies and removing foreign and detrimental objects and tissues. All with their bare hands. All with the patient feeling mostly nothing, anesthetic-free. And “patching” back up the patient straight away, as if nothing just happened. Read Conans full recount about his Psychic Surgery experience here. (56:09) Panchakarma – Ayurvedic detox and rejuvenation program. (59:28) Conan’s pearl of wisdom – What is the value of these experiences of visiting healers, saints, holy places, doing panchakarma etc.? The main value is to give us a glimpse of our true state of Being. A tangible reminder of our natural essence through experience. This inspires to strive for that state. Ayurvedic Self Pulse Diagnosis – immediately connecting mind and physiology for healing and gaining greater awareness of the body. Learn self-pulse here. (1:06:50) RESOURCES Transcendental Meditation.

The Epidemic of Chronic Disease Calls Ayurveda to the Rescue #004

Listen on iTunes Epidemics of chronic diseases are exponentially growing alongside our modern lifestyle. Ayurveda has never been so relevant to humanity than right now. And what the 2017 Nobel Prize for Medicine was won for supports this, because it was won for “Circadian Medicine,” which is basically “Ayurveda 101” (living in tune with nature’s circadian rhythms).

Jyotish: Vedic Astrology | Anand Mehrotra #003

Listen on iTunes Jyotish, a profound mathematical sophisticated form of astrology. It describes how planetary patterns at the time of our birth give valuable clues in helping us understand our life’s journey. Through careful analysis of these cosmic influences, Jyotish can help us realistically evaluate our strengths and weaknesses in order to optimise our full potential. Join expert visionary master teacher and Jyotishi, Anand Mehrotra, as we dispel dogmas, myths and inaccurate perceptions about Jyotish and other aspects of the veda. Anand reveals to us a great introduction and general overview about Jyotish – “the light of the self.” He recommends specific regimes for you to do during new moon, full moon and eclipses. Anand beautifully expresses the qualities of the core seven planets by relating them with their signifying chakras and deity expressions. ABOUT ANAND MEHROTRA Anand is a visionary master teacher, community and thought leader, conscious entrepreneur and Jyotishi (vedic astrologer). Anand was born, raised and still resides in Rishikesh, a holy town by the Ganga river at the foot hills of the Himlayas in North India. He is the founder and master teacher of Sattva Yoga, a radically holistic, ever-evolving practice that is currently growing rapidly. He teaches around the world to give wisdom talks, host gatherings, satsangs, meditations, provides Vedic astrology readings, leads Sattva Yoga journeys, retreats and trainings. Anand leads two non for profit organisations, The Khushi Charitable Society and Sattva Foundation, and has launched several businesses based on sustainable practices and supporting local communities. IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: The role of Jyotish in expanding holistic, all inclusive knowledge. What is Jyotish – the “eye of the veda.” The light of self. “A physician who doesn’t know astrology should not call himself a physician.” ~ Hippocrates. (5:00) The study of the movement and flow of Jeeva (individuality) in time. How to utilise our journey in this time bound expression in the highest manner possible. (8:05) “The Entry” – time and place of birth is a karmic footprint which will provide the information of ones karma. The difference between Jyotish and Western Astrology. (12:55) Rahu and Ketu – Two shadow planets that cause eclipses and balance kundalini. (15:05) Rahu – north lunar node – dragons head. Mind. Creative, expansive. Psychosis. Higher level – Impact, expansion, self actualisation. External. Further – fearlessness, which gives rise to kundalini (infinite potential). Fear constricts us from our infinite potential. Rahu plays on your fears. Ketu – south lunar node – dragons tail. Body. Withdrawing, depressive, chronic illnesses. Higher level – liberation, inner realisation. Internal. Past. Rahu was a chandala. The god split his head but because of his high state of consciousness he was immortal. So the head become Rahu. Tail became Ketu. Snakes are Karayaka (physical expression of energy) for Rahu and Ketu. (18:48) Multiple levels of dreaming. (19:25) When Rahu and Ketu (Ida and Pingala) merge in a balanced state along the spine the sushumna opens. Associated with Kundaliuni Shakti. Potential to awaken your kundalini, your infinite potential. (19:55) Regimen for Eclipses – Optimal uses of energy. Not a time to start business venture. Not creative energy. More of a meditative energy. (20:55) Regimen for No Moon: inward, meditative (23:09) Regimen for New Moon: initiatives, new beginnings, ventures, treatments. Regimen for Full Moon – healing, self-healing. Gathering, collective gatherings, agni-hotras, kirtan, yagya, rituals, pujas, ceremonies. Be with elements, be in nature, especially water element. (23:55) Freeing your bondage and transcending your personal karmic journey to live with the natural flow of time. (25:42) The 7 Grahas (Planets) and their signifying Chakras and Deity Expressions (30:37) Shani (Saturn) – Shiva – Muladhara (root) Chakra. – Seat of infinite potential. Fearlessness, exploring the great unknown, inwardness, meditative. Shani is the great teacher. Guru (Jupiter) – Ganesh – Second Chakra. – Playfulness, indulging in wordy pleasures. Mangal (Mars) – Hanuman and Kartikaya. – Navel Chakra. – Vitality, strength, warrior, strong agni. Shukra (Venus) – Laksmi and Krishna – Heart Chakra. – Art, creativity, beauty. The brightest start in the sky. Buddh (Mercury) – Saraswati and Buddha – Throat Chakra – Intellect, mind, wisdom, conceptual knowledge Surya (Sun) and Chandra (Moon) – Shiva and Skati – 3rd eye. No planet at Brahamsrara (crown chakra) as you are liberated by the burden of living (Jiva Mukta). You can still live in the human body, but you live in dharma free from bondage to karma. Sattisati: 7.5 year transit of Saturn over the moon (37:30) – Saturn is the great teacher which forces you to evolve, grow and expand. It may seem challenging at the time, but this is a purification. There are some which you can change, and you should fully change those. There is some things which you cannot change, which you must completely accept. Gemstones as a supplement to optimise a particular energy. (43:49) RESOURCES Sattva Yoga Retreat Centre Astrological Gem: The Power of Superior Jyotish stones.

Who is Dylan Smith and What is Veda #001

Listen on iTunes Welcome to the Vital Veda Podcast I am your host Dylan Smith, an Ayurvedic health practitioner based in Australia. Before the show really kicks off into the episodes I wanted to take the opportunity to introduce my self, get to know me and hear what the intention of this podcast is. I also want to give a brief short overview of one of the core topics of this podcast, Ayurveda and Vedic Wisdom. I wanna shout out to my friends who helped me produce the theme song, Ari Levy and Yoav Goldberg from Moose head studios in Sydney. I got into health and transformation when I went to India and learned yoga and was exposed to Ayurveda. Now I’m a Ayurvedic practitioner, teacher and speaker. I have a small clinic in Sydney where I consult from and offer a diverse range of body treatments. I also travel a bit around the world to offer these services. I have a passion to take the ancient, rich wisdom of Ayurveda and make it applicable, practical and relevant to todays day in age, where really right now Ayurveda is so relevant and needed more than ever. Part of this is using modern science to prove ancient wisdom. And it’s working. People who implement these practices and treatment protocols feel the benefits. The holistic process of ridding disease, which may become like a journey, is fulfilling. They experience the essence of health and actually thrive with vitality! Ayurveda is a Sanskrit word that translates to “The Science of Life.” It is a system of holistic medicine that encompasses the entire universe; nature, the body, mind and spirit. Really, Ayurveda has a say on everything. It is part of the Vedas, which is knowledge governing the unity of the laws of nature and human consciousness. Yoga, meditation, Ayurveda, sthapatya Veda which is Vedic architecture also known as Vastuu, Jyotish (Vedic astrology), all these sciences are derived from the Vedas. This ancient science guides us how to live in harmony with nature and when we live in tune with the cycles of nature, we tap into our own specific human nature. That is where perfect health lies. And by the way, it is absolutely in everyone. But you have to enliven it. From that place, you can live with minimal to no suffering and radiate life for all to enjoy. Ayurveda does this through a wide variety of holistic and preventative actions and treatments such as diet, herbs, lifestyle, body treatments and a variety of measures. What I love about Ayurveda is that is has been around for a very very long time. Ayurveda is actually as old as nature, but for the past 5000 odd years, it has consistently been practiced. And through all this time, nothing has changed. None of the knowledge, none of the parameters. Unlike a scientific study, a medical degree, a food fad! a health fad, a “bio-hack,” whatever it may be, Ayurveda doesn’t change. It doesn’t need to revise texts or updated editions. It is an eternal science. It is so closely correlated with natural law that it becomes applicable, useful and highly relevant to the whatever the need of the time may be, wherever on planet earth. This podcast will share how to bypass any of the obscure perpetuating fads of health and rather develop skills and a capability to tune into our own body and mind, awaken our instincts and flow downstream in our unique individual path of life rather than struggling to paddle upstream. Let’s approach health via that route. Engage in life in a frictionless flow. You’re not going to be talked at in this podcast, I rather intend you to be inspired, to resonate with me and whoever else is on the show. To take the information and conversation and make it relatable to your life. Inevitably, once you have the knowledge it’s going to be enlivened within you. But awaken and expand your capacity to be aware of that in your body. To invite, support and nourish these beautiful practices, notions whatever they may be. Don’t just take my word. Be empowered to experience this. I’m only interested to interview experts in their field who are authentic, pure and engaged in action that is going to be highly evolutionary. Plus, you deserve the best. So I’m going give you the best, and I am so fortunate and grateful to be able to interview these guests and learn all this wonderful knowledge my self. Please subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss out on any juicy knowledge and I would really appreciate if you could rate and review the show. I really value your feedback and love reading it.
