Contact with the sun should be much sought after, and the vitalization
that comes through its rays. The sun kills all germs and frees from
disease. (Letters on Occult Meditation p334)

The main centre for the reception of prana at present is a centre
between the shoulder blades. (Treatise on Cosmic Fire p98)

=================================================================

Prana

(1) Solar prana - this is that vital and magnetic fluid which radiates
from the sun, and which is transmitted to man's etheric body...It
is... emitted as powerful radiations, which are applied directly
through certain plexi in the uppermost part of the etheric body. ...

(2) Primarily the functions of the etheric body are three in number:
1. It is the receiver of prana. 2. It is the assimilator of prana. 3.
It is the transmitter of prana. (Treatise on Cosmic Fire p93)

(3) The pranic emanations of the sun are absorbed by the etheric body,
via certain centres which are found principally in the upper part of
the body, from whence they are directed downwards to the centre which
is called the etheric spleen. ... The main centre for the reception of
prana at present is a centre between the shoulder blades. (Treatise on
Cosmic Fire p98)

(4) The more refined and rarefied the form, the better a receiver of
prana it will be, and the less will be the resistance found to the
uprising of kundalini at the appointed time.(Treatise on Cosmic Fire
p103)

(5) The [human] race suffers from certain incapacities, which may be
described as follows:

-first: Inability to tap pranic currents, owing to the unhealthy lives
passed by so many.... The cure is apparent-the bringing about of
better living conditions, the employment of more appropriate clothing,
and the adoption of a freer and more salubrious mode of living. When
the pranic rays can find free access to the shoulders, and to the
diaphragm, the subnormal state of the average spleen will adjust
itself automatically.

-second: Over-ability to tap pranic currents.... The etheric body
receives prana or solar rays too rapidly, passes it through and out of
the system with too much force, and this leaves the victim a prey of
inertia and devitalisation. (Treatise on Cosmic Fire p106/7)

(6) Prana might be defined as the life-essence of every plane in the
sevenfold area which we call the cosmic plane... (Telepathy and the
Etheric Vehicle, p154)

Contact with the sun should be much sought after, and the vitalization
that comes through its rays. The sun kills all germs and frees from
disease. (Letters on Occult Meditation 334)

The Sun is "God's" most visible and powerful representative - don't
hide from the rays, take em in!

Sunny D

It's the great cancer cover-up. Panicked into avoiding sunlight by
health experts, we are now dying in our thousands from diseases linked
to deficiencies of vitamin D. But still the exaggerated warnings come.
Oliver Gillie reveals how sunbathing can save your life

----------------

How many times have you heard it: "There's no such thing as a healthy
tan." Second only to "smoking kills", avoiding the sun is the health
advice that has most permeated our conciousness. Young and old, rich
and poor, everyone knows that exposure to the sun puts us at risk of
skin cancer. But does it? What if the advice we've been given to avoid
the sun is wrong? What if hiding your skin from those seductive rays is
putting your health in danger?

While every summer cancer charities and skin experts launch their
annual campaign to persuade people, against their natural inclination,
to cover up and stay out of the sun, there is growing evidence that
lack of exposure to sunlight is responsible for a multitude of disease
from multiple sclerosis and diabetes to several types of cancer and
schizophrenia. And it's all down to a deficiency of vitamin D - some 90
per cent of which we get from sunlight.

Most medical researchers have been slow in recognising the potentially
lethal consequences of vitamin D deficiency. In part this is because
vitamin D is not the only trigger for these diseases. However in the
British Isles with our long winters and cloudy summers, it seems that
insufficient exposure to the sun can make the difference between
illness and health, between life and death.

Dr Peter Selby, lecturer in medicine at Manchester Royal Infirmary,
says: "Reducing exposure to solar radiation, far from preventing
cancer, may have the opposite effect." He points out that a 10 per cent
decrease in exposure to sunlight would not greatly reduce skin cancer
but could lead to a 6 per cent increase in certain other cancers. And
these extra cancer deaths, he points out, would exceed all the deaths
from skin cancer put together.

Oh yes! And who can turn down homemade sun-dried tomatoes!

First, pick your tomato. Roma or other plum tomatoes are good choices, since
they are the meatiest, least watery varieties. VictorySeeds.com offers Principe
Borghese, a traditional southern Italian drying tomato.

Now you'll need several days of hot sunshine, low humidity, and good air
circulation. Begin by halving the fruits and placing them skin-side down on a
clean plastic or nylon framed screen. Shepherd's suggests dipping the tomatoes
in a solution of half water and half vinegar, and emphasizes leaving room for
airflow between the pieces. Don't use metal screens as they may react with the
tomato acid.

Cover the trays with cheesecloth to keep off bugs and dust, bring the trays in
each night, and return them outdoors after the dew has dried and the sun is
bright. An electric food dryer/dehydrator set at 120F (48.8C) for 24 hours
yields similar results.

Valley Sun, a California producer of sun-dried tomatoes, offers a host of
recipes and serving suggestions. The marinated mozzarella salad seriously
whetted our appetites, and many other mouth-watering recipes turned up when we
searched the Recipe File at Epicurious.

Happy harvest...and bon appetit.

so doing yoga when the sun is at his highest peak is the best think you
can do? With 40 degrees celsius on a beach I don't think I can hold it.
I prefer doing yoga while the moon is sending me her strength and
relaxation. I don't like to sweat to much when doing yoga. A little
bit is fine. I don't know. The night gives me something special. It
relaxes my mind.

Howdy!

I also prefer "yoga in the night" as long as the outside temp. is
comfortable. (I'm a winter person.)

Pigs "have the cognitive ability to be quite sophisticated. Even more so than
dogs and certainly [more so than] three-year-olds," says Dr. Donald Broom,
Cambridge university professor and former scientific advisor to the Council of
Europe.(1) Pigs can play video games, and when offered a choice, they have
indicated environmental temperature preferences.

These facts are not surprising to anyone who has spent time around these social,
playful animals. Pigs, who have a great sense of smell and can live into their
teens, are very protective of their young and form bonds with other pigs.
Contrary to popular belief, pigs are clean animals, but they do not have sweat
glands, so they take to the mud to stay cool and ward off flies.
