The rules of incarnation and your spiritual journey

You believe in incarnation or not, does not change things. You will recognise a lot of patterns that relate to your life that will be listed here. The Universe works in patterns and cycles. 
Regardless of your beliefs it is still happening to you, too. 
Being aware of these rules, cycles and patterns just makes your life easier. 


Once you read it, just find some time and contemplate on your past, present and future, how it all applies to you. 

  1. We all get a body. This body is new and single. Nobody else will get the same body as you.
  2. You get a brain. It is highly recommended to use it well but it is not a condition. 
  3. You get a heart. The best result in life can be achieved if you brain and heart operates in equilibrium. In perfect balance. 
  4. You get life lessons. Nobody else gets the same lessons and nobody can take it over from you. 
  5. You can do in life whatever you want. Everything you do to others returns to you. Good and bad, resulting from your actions. That's the Karma. 
  6. A lesson will return to you until you learnt and understood what you supposed to learn and understand from that lesson. It will return even through reincarnations, too. 
  7. This contract is valid to everyone, without exception. There are no privileges, even if some thinks or say so. Changes noted by hand are invalid. 
  8. You get a mirror or mirrors to learn. Many of these mirrors look like a body. They exist to show you what you are like and what qualities you possess. 
  9. When your body os destroyed or does not work, you get a new one. Occasionally, you have to wait for it. 
  10. The contract of your incarnation expires when you have learnt all the lessons and all your results are satisfactory. 
  11. What's satisfactory, that's up to you!
About Parenting:
  1. Having a child teaches you very special lessons. 
  2. Having more children means you have more lessons to learn.
  3. Not having a child means that it is not your time in that reincarnation. Possibly, you already went through those life lessons in a previous life so you get a chance to focus on other things. Remember that we get to reincarnate to a higher form of life. 

Useful tips and advice:
  1. It is not a goal to accumulate a fortune for the time you leave your body.
  2. To be famous and popular do not give you bonus points.
  3. Don't compare yourself to the mistakes of others.
  4. Rules are to be examined.
  5. What other think about goals can deter your attention and focus. 
  6. You can't make a mistake or fail. The worst case scenario is that it takes longer. 
  7. Your heart gives you access to all answers and solutions. 
  8. In your classroom (life) absolutely everything responds to the radiation of your heart. 
  9. Destroying your classroom leads to limitations. 
  10. Nobody can take over your responsibility. You, and you alone are responsible for you, your actions and your life. 
  11. Violence is never a solution.
  12. It is useful to take notice of repeated events and lessons. 
  13. If you feel you need help, ask for it. Every possible assistance is provided to you if you ask!
  14. Drugs, legal and illegal, alter the senses therefor the results of your lessons. 
  15. Just because everyone behaves and responds the same way, it does not mean they are right.
  16. Rarely there is only one solution.
  17. You can request forgiveness. 
  18. There is no special closure in your contract. 
  19. You are loved. Does not matter you come from or live in Bronx and Somalia. Everything else is an illusion. 
  20. The lessons are there to serve your growth, not to punish you. 
  21. To put body into someone else's hands has its risks. 
  22. To block others in their development has no benefits. 
  23. Particularly at late nights you have a chance to leave your body. Out of body experiences are not stored in the body or in your brain. 
  24. It is your own right to play with your body. However, if you want to do this with someone else's you need to seek permission. 
  25. There is no point cheating. 
  26. If someone else offer you life insurance, it's a scam. 
  27. It's not a race. There is no reward to be the first. 
  28. There is no point to try to look cool. 
  29. In your position nobody else would make a better impression than you.
Addition:
  1. Interruption or finishing your cycle of incarnation early on purpose attracts tedious bureaucracy and administration. 
  2. You are not alone doubting the rules and contract of incarnation.
  3. Because you gave your consent to this contact, there is no point of mourning that you are here. 
  4. The present contract can not be broken. Get on with it!

Quick! Meditate!


Meditation is the luxury of celebrities or those who have lots of time to waste,   a lot of people think. We know that monks do meditate and have been for centuries. Most people know that it is beneficial but they worry about the time it takes to shut out the world have a little "me" time. Is it really luxury? Is it really selfish to find 15-30 or even 60 minutes a day to meditate? 

Not until something forces you to do, like a serious health challenge. If you are lucky enough to meet someone who teaches you to meditate like I was when I was twenty something and participated in a yoga class or someone inspires you to go on a spiritual journey, you life will change forever.

What are the benefits of a few minutes daily meditation, you could ask.

  • It helps you to reduce stress
  • Slows down ageing
  • Adds more hours to your day. You become more efficient, more organised and focused. 
  • Helps you appreciate life and relationships more
  • Helps you to be more connected
  • Increases your attention span
  • Increases immunity and helps you fight diseases
  • Improves metabolism and helps you normalise your weight and to keep it like that
  • Helps you have a good night sleep
  • Improves functioning of the brain
  • Ideas, solutions, inspirations and visions might come to you during meditation
  • Emotional relief can happen, sometimes in a form of crying during meditation
  • Makes you and those around you happier
With meditation, the physiology undergoes a change and every cell in the body is filled with more Prana/Chi (energy). This results in joy, peace, enthusiasm as the level of Prana/Chi in the body increases.

On a physical level meditation
  • Lowers blood pressure
  • Lowers the levels of blood lactate, reducing anxiety attacks
  • Decreases any tension-related pain, such as, tension headaches, ulcers, insomnia, muscle and joint problems
  • Increases serotonin production that improves mood and behaviour
  • Improves the immune system
  • Increases the energy level, as you gain an inner source of energy
Meditation brings the brainwave pattern into an Alpha state that promotes healing. The mind becomes fresh, delicate and beautiful. 

With regular practice of meditation:
  • Anxiety decreases
  • Emotional stability improves
  • Creativity increases
  • Happiness increases
  • Intuition develops
  • Gain clarity and peace of mind
  • Problems become smaller
  • Meditation sharpens the mind by gaining focus and expands through relaxation
  • A sharp mind without expansion causes tension, anger and frustration
  • An expanded consciousness without sharpness can lead to lack of action/progress
  • The balance of a sharp mind and an expanded consciousness brings perfection
Meditation makes you aware - that your inner attitude determines your happiness.



Here I included a simple, short, 7 minutes morning meditation to put you on the path. 
Enjoy the Morning Meditation to set good intentions for the day!

    Improving lower back problems with Toe Tapping


    Most abdominal exercises, such as the standard floor crunch, work your abs through an active contraction -- the muscles contract, or shorten, to perform the movement. The toe tapping exercise that is a simple Chinese exercise and is part of Dahn Yoga, is a basic abdominal movement that works your abs isometrically, or statically. Your abdominal muscles are not the primary movers, but they do engage during the toe tap exercise.

    Toe tapping is an ancient practice that helps balance the energy between the body and head while it dramatically stimulates energy flow in the legs, allowing you to become connected to the larger energy field of the earth. Because of this, I found this exercise extremely helpful with lower back pain, back tensions and with serious case of stenosis. Don't get disheartened if when you try this simple exercise first time that every healthy person can do hundreds of them right away, you can't even move your feet, your lower back goes into spasm right away and can't move or your legs get so stiff when your try this simple repetitive movement that you only can do 2-3 of the tapping. Even that is just a pathetic effort of what you supposed to do... This is how I started! Just trying it again every other day. This is how I worked my way up to 150 taps within two weeks! So there is hope! Don't give up!

    Do not do this exercise if you have had a recent knee or hip replacement or if you are pregnant.

    Find a comfortable place on the floor.

    The legs rotate from the hips, like windshield wipers on a car. Lie flat on your back. Allow your hips and legs to rest easily, hips loose and feet apart. Rotate or rock your legs and feet, in and out from your hips, leaving your heels in one place on the floor. Roll your legs, first tapping your big toes together and then letting your legs and feet roll back out. Keep your legs straight.


    The faster you tap, the easier it will be to do this exercise, because you will be using momentum from the previous tap as well as the rotator muscles in your hips and thighs. Continue the tapping for five minutes at first, then work up to longer periods. The demonstration video I included later is fantastic, the music is great, very rhythmical and easy to work with! Once you stop, rest on your back. Notice how you feel and relax in this position for a moment.

    Watch and use this video to develop your daily routine of Toe Tapping

    How does Toe Tapping work:
    Your abdominal muscles do not actively contract, or shorten, during the toe tap movement. The iliopsoas, or hip flexor muscles, are the primary movers. These muscles connect your hip bone to your thigh bone and are responsible for pulling your thighs toward your hip. The rectus abdominis, your main ab muscle, isometrically contracts to stabilise your torso during the toe tap movement. Your ab muscles contract without a significant change in length.

    A variety of factors can impede the flow of energy, such as stress, lack of sleep and dehydration. As you tap your feet together, the Liver Meridian, Gall Bladder Meridian, Bladder Meridian, and Spleen Meridian as well as various acupressure points may be stimulated. These are part of an invisible network of pathways within the body through which Chi energy travels. Toe Tapping helps open these pathways to clear any blockages that may be affecting the balance and flow of energy in the body.

    According to Traditional Chinese Medicine we should have cool head, neutral heart, and a warm pelvis. And in our culture, we’re flipped: we often have a cool pelvis, neutral heart, and a hot head. As you tap your toes together, fire energy is drawn downward and your natural state of a cooler head will be restored. This desirable state is known as “Water Up, Fire Down.” This means that any tension and stress induced energy in the head area is directed down into lower parts of the body to help energise the circulation of both blood and energy throughout the whole body as it also strengthens the lower body. The tapping of the toes will stimulate some meridian points to bring energy up, and also it opens the hips.

    Dr Chiasson writes that "I can teach it to just about anybody, because people who can’t get out of bed can do it; I’ve even taught it to hospice patients. It also works extraordinarily well for some of the things that we’re not very good at, like restless leg syndrome, peripheral neuropathy. It’s very, very simple. And kids do it naturally. I was teaching it the other day to a group of older people, and they were laughing, some of them were saying, “Oh, I do this sometimes without even thinking about it.”

    Toe Tapping for Pain Relief
    Toe tapping also comes with a variety of physical benefits. It can relieve headaches and lower back pain in addition to easing irritation in the hip joint. This is particularly useful for people who spend much of their day at a desk and, in effect, suffer from stiffness and soreness in the back, neck, shoulders and other parts of the body.

    The exercises helps to relax the entire body and allows energy and blood to flow, thus raising the body temperature for optimal body function and healing, and offer new confidence for creating positive change in your life. Give it a try.

    Toe Tapping for prevention
    The tapping method was described by Ann Marie Chiasson, MD, of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine. For her own patients with high blood pressure, Dr. Chiasson has adapted a tapping technique that is part of the ancient Chinese practice called Qigong.

    Qigong involves simple movements, including tapping on the body’s meridians, or “highways” of energy movement. These meridians are the same as those used during acupuncture and acupressure treatments. According to a review of nine studies published in The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, qigong reduced systolic blood pressure (the top number) by an average of 17 points and diastolic blood pressure (the bottom number) by an average of 10 points. Those are big reductions! In fact, they are comparable to the reductions achieved with drugs—but the qigong had no unwanted side effects.

    Though Dr. Chiasson has not conducted a clinical trial on her tapping protocol, she has observed reductions in blood pressure among her patients who practice tapping. The technique she recommends also could conceivably benefit people who do not have high blood pressure if it reduces stress and thus helps lower the risk of developing high blood pressure.

    Conducting Toe Tapping Exercises at Work
    You can practice toe tapping while sitting at your desk to find relief from stress and pain associated with sitting at a desk. To conduct this Dahn Yoga exercise, follow these steps:
    Start in a seated position with your legs extended as much as possible while still keeping your feet on the ground.
    Put your heels together and keep them touching throughout the exercise.
    Tap the big toes together.
    Open your feet by rotating the heels until the little toes touch the ground. The motion should resemble a butterflies wings flapping.
    Repeat the movement as fast as you can 100 times. Use music if you prefer!

    The more you practice toe tapping, the more you'll notice the benefits of this Dahn Yoga exercise. You can increase the number of motions each time to enhance the benefits slowly. Toe tapping may be low-exertion, but it can help to improve circulation in your legs and relieve tension and soreness throughout the body. It even has the ability to calm your mind and provide a better night's sleep. This wide array of benefits can, in turn, work to improve your job performance, as you find yourself feeling more awake, aware and vibrant throughout the work day and ready to take on new and challenging tasks.
