Sound of Yoga: Mantra Monk Music
The music video clips below are of three diverse music genres, fused into one… Iron Monk Mantra Blues… chant/overtone voice with slide guitar, keyboard, and singing bowl. Iron Monk is the working title for the sound of the 1st video, which is new music for my Ambient Hypnosis Music label. I am working these sounds into […]
Do Yoga to avoid Bad Politics
The Universe, as “a field of intelligence”, with a Creation and Creator, easily becomes quite complicated and muddled in attempt to grasp exactly what it is, how it came about, and where it is going to. “In the gaze of Yoga” we can more easily understand life, philosophically, and find meaning or purpose: Yoga as […]

Buddha Nature & Yoga
The mind wants you to think about stuff, about what it wants. That thinking mind will dominate body and soul – the inner being. Connect with inner being and you will see who you really are, not what the mind wants you to think you are. Those words on “came”, so to speak, from my Buddha nature, […]
Rousing and Grounding, an Exodus Within
Life and God, God and life. God in life, Life in God. Whatever the meaning of all these type of statements may be, the religious aspect of life is nothing but a facade unless there is an inner practice. The inner practice itself is nothing but a crutch or a dependancy unless there is an […]
A Yoga Ambassador of One-ness
Paramahansa Yogananda brought a very different kind of yoga to the West (pre 2nd World War era) than the modern stretch, relax and oversize bendy stretch version of what is not really yoga.
