Sound consciousness in the context of sound healing meditation practices refers to the state of heightened awareness and deep relaxation that can be induced through the use of sound. This state of consciousness is characterized by a heightened sensitivity to sound, an increased ability to focus and concentrate, and a greater sense of presence and connection with the present moment. Sound healing practices often involve the use of various instruments such as singing bowls, gongs, chimes, and drums, as well as vocal techniques such as chanting and toning. These sounds are believed to have a therapeutic effect on the body and mind, helping to release tension and promote relaxation, as well as stimulate the body's natural healing processes. When a person enters a state of sound consciousness during a sound healing meditation, they may experience a range of sensations, including a sense of floating or weightlessness, a feeling of being deeply grounded, and a heightened sense of awarenes...

What would happen if an attempt was made to package an ocean in a box? Quite obviously the turbulent waters of the ocean would lash themselves against the walls of the container to break free. An onlooker may interpret this as a rebellion, and yet for the ocean it is a stark expression of its discontent; its bid to push away boundaries. How many of us have not been the scornful adult, appalled by the so called ‘unacceptable’ behaviour of a brazen adolescent? Yet, could it be possible that what our minds call rebellion is simply the seed ocean of evolution in the adolescent breast, trying to break the package of convention and conditioning that hems it in? 19-year-old Sanaya writes: We were born in a world of conditioning. A world of boxes, Of stereotypes Judgement Hierarchy Games Expectations And labels.   These boxes make us see skin as soul. These boxes try to push something very powerful into a very weak mould.  These boxes take us far away from ourselves.   And yoga t...

The human mind has difficulty imagining the possibility of an entirely new direction for evolutionary development, and tends to try to “read” the future by extrapolation from the present and the past. Thus, we see Nietzsche describing the “superman” as someone who has a higher mental functioning and vital force of effectuation, who then has the “right” and the “power” to disregard the strictures of the society’s structure because he has gone “beyond” them. The Third Reich envisioned a master race of men bred to be stronger and more ‘pure’ and more intelligent to rule over “inferior” races of the world. We see utopian and dystopian visions that extrapolate mental capacities and lines of development, particularly with application of advances in technology developed through the mind, which portray either a positive or a negative view of the future. In popular culture we see a proliferation of fantasies about “super-powered” individuals who either take on enhanced functions o...

Our world is a reflection of our search. This statement gives us a sense of the human urge to make sense of the world, gives us a sense of the aspiration to know, to grow, to look for things and ways that express our intention. It also reflects our inclination to align our will to that of the Divine, and our need to find a purpose higher than that of mere existence for the sake of our basic needs. But today this statement holds more true for the search history on our devices than our inner quest. We look for something and forget about it, but the browser makes sure that it reminds us constantly of what we were looking for, even if it was a passing search. What a way of engaging with the world!  The impact of technological advancement on our evolutionary journey is something which we have to not only examine at the individual level but also at the collective level. The fundamental purpose of any technological development is to make human living better. Relieving us of mechanical and...
