Open (More or Less) Post on Covid 74

[ecosophia]

As we proceed through the second year of these open posts, it's pretty clear that the official narrative is cracking as the toll of deaths and injuries from the Covid vaccines rises steadily and the vaccines themselves demonstrate their total uselessness at preventing Covid infection or transmission. It's still important to keep watch over the mis-, mal- and nonfeasance of our self-proclaimed health gruppenfuehrers, and the disastrous results of the Covid mania, but I think it's also time to begin thinking about what might be possible as the existing medical industry reels under the impact of its own self-inflicted injuries. 

So it's time for another open post. The rules are the same as before: 

1. If you plan on parroting the party line of the medical industry and its paid shills, please go away. This is a place for people to talk openly, honestly, and freely about their concerns that the party line in question is dangerously flawed and that actions being pushed by the medical industry et al. are causing injury and death. It is not a place for you to dismiss those concerns. Anyone who wants to hear the official story and the arguments in favor of it can find those on hundreds of thousands of websites.

2. If you plan on insisting that the current situation is the result of a deliberate plot by some villainous group of people or other, please go away. There are tens of thousands of websites currently rehashing various conspiracy theories about the Covid-19 outbreak and the vaccines. This is not one of them. What we're exploring is the likelihood that what's going on is the product of the same arrogance, incompetence, and corruption that the medical industry and its tame politicians have displayed so abundantly in recent decades. That possibility deserves a space of its own for discussion, and that's what we're doing here. 
 
3. If you plan on using rent-a-troll derailing or disruption tactics, please go away. I'm quite familiar with the standard tactics used by troll farms to disrupt online forums, and am ready, willing, and able -- and in fact quite eager -- to ban people permanently for engaging in them here. Oh, and I also lurk on other Covid-19 vaccine skeptic blogs, so I'm likely to notice when the same posts are showing up on more than one venue. 

4. If you don't believe in treating people with common courtesy, please go away. I have, and enforce, a strict courtesy policy on my blogs and online forums, and this is no exception. The sort of schoolyard bullying that takes place on so many other internet forums will get you deleted and banned here. Also, please don't drag in current quarrels about sex, race, religious, etc. No, I don't care if you disagree with that: my journal, my rules. 

With that said, the floor is open for discussion.

OP again

happypanda - do you recall if Sadhguru gave any suggestions on managing energy in practices as this unfolds?

"He gave that talk in late 2019"
So just around the time of the emergence of the covid experience

"whatever it is - times are going to get hard for the entire planet in a way it hadn't yet when he gave that satsang."

So if 2020/21 was the starter course (covid), 2022 saw drinks being brought to the table, 2023 sees the restaurant staff through the kitchen door preparing to bring out the first part of the main course. Great! /sarc

happypanda - Thank you for taking the time to find the original link, if you manage to find any further references to this business I'm fascinated to read more.

JMG - if this is veering too far off the focus theme of these open posts... maybe better suited to a Magic Monday?

Re: hypothesis and Sadhguru

[happypanda]

He does give practices one can do - including a specific Kriya that aids in revitalizing and keeping the Manipura center healthy - which when balanced and healthy helps ward off diseases like Covid. But it's better for Magic Monday than here. I am going to re-start my blog to begin discussions on practical ways one can navigate the coming years better. Also going to start offering divination readings. Speaking of which...I need lab rats (oops, I mean volunteers) to send me a question they'd like a reading for.

However, that's getting off-topic for this thread.

(Disclaimer, I was an active volunteer with Sadhguru's foundation for three years)

I've shared them last year here so I think it's okay share them again given that we've touched upon alternative health modalities and the topic came up. If not, well, deleted it is. I have seen people's health improve considerably with regular practice. I used to facilitate these exercises in public libraries before the pandemic for the foundation, most of them can be done by people all ages but there are modifications for people with health conditions, above 60 or for children so follow attentively. This set of practices has been designed for unmonitored teaching, but still care and commons sense needs to be taken, don't push yourself. They should be done at least an hour after a meal unless otherwise noted.

Here is a full set of practices that can be done individually or all together in this order but it's no biggie if you do a different set. Loose clothes and close to a window is best, a ghee lamp can be lit far enough that you won't knock it over or burn anything but relatively close, in order to create an ambiance. If you prefer outside, pick a place with no direct sunlight. Once you learn them it's best if you do them on your own and just check back occasionally to see if you haven't strayed. It should take about an hour to do the full set.

Upa Yoga - Joint and neck rotations to release energy blockages and tensions; deep squatting for strengthening the spine; a cleansing alternate nostril breathing with AUM chanting. A tip here for Yoga Namaskar(the deep sqaut) is that it's more important to keep proper posture than to reach all the way. Don't neglect if you need a cushion on the heels for support, that makes it easier for people that don't have flexible hips. Takes an hour and a half to learn and about 30 minutes to do once you know them.

Simha Kriya - Simple pranayama for increasing energy levels relating to health and the lungs. It generates a little heat in the system, that's the intention. Don't hold more than it's comfortable for you. If you have learned Simha Kriya in another program, use that, this is a simpler and safer version done online. 10 minutes to learn, 5 to practice.

Isha Kriya - Guided meditation 20 minutes to learn and about 10 to practice.

Yoga Yoga Yogeshwaraya chant - This also generates a little heat but it's more focused towards the immune system. What sitting in yoga mudra means is explained in the upa yoga video. Basically, cross-legged, with left foot closest to the body, heel touching or as close as posible to the perineum, right foot placed in front of it. Arms placed on the lap, loose like a rope, with the index and thumb of both hands touching at the tips, forming a circle. All fingers together, just as the video shows. This hand gesture should be tight up to the wrist but no more than that, the arm should be relaxed. Hold your spine comfortably erect. After you finish, take your time to open your eyes. About 5-7 minutes to learn and practice.

You can find all this at isha.sadhguru.org and for questions or concerns you can contact me or practice support at practicesupport@ishausa.org

Also, happypanda, I look forward to your blog! I enjoyed it a lot. And I didn't know he published a video on that, he does seem to be going all out.
