News: Sticking needles in a bad back ‘eases pain better than drugs’
Posted by : skyhorse on Tuesday, September 25, 2007 - 03:11 PM : 1689 Reads

From The Times
September 25, 2007
Acupuncture works better than conventional treatments in reducing lower back pain, according to researchers in Germany.

But so does fake acupuncture, where the needles are inserted shallowly and in the wrong places. In a trial of more than 1,100 people, both were almost twice as effective as a combination of drugs, physiotherapy and exercise.

External authors: Kundalini: Frequently Asked Questions And Selected References
Posted by : skyhorse on Sunday, October 17, 2004 - 12:00 AM : 1758 Reads

Another interesting lost file about Kundalini and derivates.

In alt.meditation, alt.magick and other newsgroups there have been
recurrent discussions about kundalini, kundalini yoga, Siddha yoga and
other related topics. I personally find FAQ's and pointers to
references the most useful aspect of netnews so I hope some find some
use in this FAQ. Please feel free to post and send me feedback. I
especially enjoy additional tidbits on kundalini. If this FAQ is
successful I'll let loose a couple others on Siddha Mahayoga and
intentional forms of Kundalini Yoga.

Books: Tibetan Yoga And Secret Doctrines: Precepts of the Gurus
Posted by : Sanctus_Veritas on Wednesday, August 11, 2004 - 04:30 PM : 1710 Reads

Greetings,
I've been really enjoying this book which is one of 4 volumes by the same author (W.Y.Evans-Wentz ), with "Tibetan Book of the Dead" being the most popular and well known. The 4 volumes aim to translate directly into English the highest Eastern esoteric teachings. I highly it recommend this book (and the others in the series) to the Hermetic student. The parallels in the great work are uncanny and the insight into the Eastern mysteries is most excellent.

Today though, I just wanted to share one small portion of the book which has to do with some of the precepts of the Gurus. There are 28 sets of precepts in all, here are just 3 of them that struck a chord with me.
