OUR BRAIN
We, yes, you and me, all of us, have a soul that has dropped into a body for a period of time called ,‘life’. At the top of this complex structure is a bony cage that houses what so far is the most fantastic super computer that we know of. Our brain is this mysterious handful of fat and neurons that is there for us to use. The first few years of life will give it it’s initial hard drive experience. Some will never clean the harddrive and run the same initial program for their entire lives; others will catch on to the fact that the hard drive needs to be cleaned, cleared and reprogrammed, over and over again until the brain operates with clean clear fuel. Most of us use only 10% of our brain consciously. That fact never fails to boggle me!
OUR MIND
In vedic thought the mind is considered to be pure vibrational energy. It conducts thought faster than the speed of light. It retains all experience. It can turn non physical dreams into material reality. It can project thoughts onto other brains and receive the same. It is the intersection between the mystical and the physical. It is our transmutation transformation, cosmic intersection between the collective and the personal. In vedic terms we take the cosmic substance, ‘prakrti’ to the gross elements, ‘mahabhutas’. According to the vedas our mind consists of 5 components:
- Chitta
- Manas
- Buddhi
- Ahamkara
- Paramatman -Atman-Purush-Prakriti-Brahma-Jivatman
There is an amazing explanation in this document for those who want to go really deep!!

MANAS
Manas is the lower mind which collects sense impressions. Manas is perception. Our manas is a combination of our past life poorva/puna. The state that our mind arrives in this lifetime becomes the starting point for us to manage our emotional/intellectual translation of our life experiences. How we perceive is how our life goes. A weak mind will have a much more difficult time turning lemons into lemonade. This is why understanding and studying our own vedic chart/ karmic blueprint is such an epic tool for finding peace/happiness in our life!
FEELING
The brain communicates the language of feeling. Learning to pay attention to your feelings for they are your GPS. They are like the clouds in the sky that are constantly moving and changing with the weather. If you can link your manas with your feelings and be rather non attached to trying to keep anything ‘fixed’ you will be in the flow.
FULL MOON IN SCORPIO
The reason I am going deep and intense is because this full moon is in that league. Those of you born with Moon in Scorpio know what I am talking about! The Moon is debilitated in this cosmic frequency. This full moon may bring up those deep dark emotions that you have been trying so hard to control. Scorpio is fixed water and ruled by Mars , so anger can be repressed and turned into dis ease. You may deal with others who you can clearly see have not been able to unleash their mind and are chained to the past programming. You can give love and then you can walk away and enjoy your own life. Do not spend too much time in the darkness of another. Unfortunately one of the realities of life is that we all have to fight our own demons, nobody can do it for us. The thing to remember is that if we are only seeing 10%, we know there is so much more to the picture. Don’t for a moment think you understand it all. If this is the case, understand that we all have to learn the same lessons. We all go through the same life lessons until we understand how to let go and trust. Commit to doing your self transformation. Commit to your growth.
MEDICINE
Our creator placed so many different forms of medicine for us to find a little help in seeing from a different perspective. They have their place for many of us. Once we are freed up in our mind, we are happy to rest in clarity. There is a huge movement with the youth currently to the Shamans to use the medicinal plants of South America. I believe we will see great benefits to society once this generation matures. Whatever your choice of intoxicants see if you can be like the vedic enlightened race of old and use your medicine and your time to honor your existence and move as deeply as you can into GRATITUDE.
LOVE ONLY…
