Pictures of the brain's activity during Yoga Nidra / Bindu 11 / Issues of Bindu / Articles Article from Bindu no 11 by Robert Nilsson "We had not expected the meditators to be able to control their consciousness to such an extent."

Researchers have for the first time succeeded in taking pictures of the brain during a meditative deep-relaxation, with as short a scanning time as one minute per image. When they contacted us, they said they wanted to measure awareness! At first we proposed that people doing Kriya Yoga could be measured. We therefore agreed with the researchers to measure people practising Yoga Nidra from the CD Experience Yoga Nidra, guided by Swami Janakananda. We limited the research to those who practised Kriya Yoga regularly - they were to do Kriya Yoga in the morning, before going to the hospital to have brain scans.

The End of My Culturing Career Jicama if You’re Sicka-ma! A few years ago, I had a great plan to sell cultured veggies at a health food store and they were so good they sold out again and again. This all started when I was handing out samples at my cultured food class and people were raving about them. Then, I came home and told my husband about my big plan. Golden Beets, Jicama, Daikon, Cilantro I started making my special recipe of cultured veggies and took them to the store – and they kept selling out! I have a pattern in life that when I do things that I don’t really enjoy, things will not go well and this was no exception. When I contacted the health food store to tell them that I wasn’t going to make the veggies anymore because it was giving me grey hair, and sore fingers and toes, they laughed and were disappointed, but not for long. Mexican Potato-Jicama I am happy to say that my fingers and toes have healed and I feel so much better and I have used all the jars! I am not ending my culturing career.
