Sāmkhya and Yoga[edit] Nyāya[edit] EnergyFanatics.com - The Answers to Everything Lie Within the Substance of Energy. About Katinka Hesselink - All Considering. Who am I? That’s the question. It’s a basically spiritual question as well: and any answer I give is limited by the concepts introduced by the words in the answers. That said – I’m a daughter. I’m a sister. I’m a graduated teacher of math and chemistry who has moved on. I’ve studied world religion at Leiden University for several years, specializing in India, Buddhism and the psychology, sociology and anthropology of religion.

I also loved philosophy and history of religion. I got my start studying religion and spirituality as a member of the Theosophical Society in 1994. I write online for a living. You can contact me at: mail@katinkahesselink.net Here’s some of the places I’m active online. The picture of Katinka Hesselink on the right was made by Chris van der Blonk in 2011. Home. Cygnamusic. Blind men and an elephant. Blind Men Appraising an Elephant by Ohara Donshu, Edo Period (early 19th century), Brooklyn Museum The story of the blind men and an elephant originated in the Indian subcontinent from where it has widely diffused.

It is a story of a group of blind men (or men in the dark) who touch an elephant to learn what it is like. Each one feels a different part, but only one part, such as the side or the tusk. They then compare notes and learn that they are in complete disagreement. It is a parable that has crossed between many religious traditions and is part of Jain, Buddhist, Sufi, Hindu and Bahá’í lore.

The tale later became well known in Europe, with 19th century American poet John Godfrey Saxe creating his own version as a poem.[1] The story has been published in many books for adults and children, and interpreted in a variety of ways. The story[edit] In various versions of the tale, a group of blind men (or men in the dark) touch an elephant to learn what it is. Jain[edit] Buddhist[edit] Moral: Namaste.

Kensho | A glimpse of enlightenment. Crick Fixes: Asana Sequence for Neck Pain by Barbara Benagh. Neck Blanket Stretch Roll a blanket into a firm, even cylinder large enough to wedge between the base of your skull and the tops of your shoulder blades. Lie back over the roll so it gently stretches your neck; the roll should wedge just under the occipital ridge at the back of your skull and support your neck and your first few upper back vertebrae.

Keeping your knees bent, place both palms on your forehead, fingers pointing toward the crown of your head, and bring your elbows close to each other. Close your eyes and tune in to your breath, feeling how its rhythm creates subtle movement. Notice areas in your neck, shoulders, and upper back that seem dense, dull, and resistant to the breath’s wavelike action, and invite them to relax against the blanket roll.
