One of the challenges the church faces in this century is that of appealing to Gen Y, Gen X, and Millennials. Another challenge is that people simply are not congregating at church anymore. A recent study showed that the top three reasons these people don’t go to Church:

• I feel judged
• Don’t want to be lectured
• Your God is irrelevant in my life
• It’s boring

It seems to me that people are struggling to identify with the older generation’s church philosophy and rules. One way this can be fixed is by “experiencing the Mass” instead of “going to church.” My cousin is a Deacon, he taught me about this interesting philosophy.

The idea is that “going to church” is associated (not always but sometimes) with checking off a box, doing your duty as a “Good Christian” for the week. Merely “going to church” can be associated with going through the motions.

But Mass can be much more than an “obligation.” To me, it’s an invitation to be with our God, to be with Jesus Christ. And also to connect with others who wish to do the same. It’s also a spiritual opportunity, a time where we cannot be reached on the ever pervasive cell phones and computers, a time for stillness of the mind.

I understand that in many ways, the Church is archaic. The mundanity of going to church on a weekly basis can sap you of your spirituality…. The routine, the rules, the old English.

If you look closely, if you really observe, you will see that there are people reciting prayers with their mind far removed from the moment. They’re saying the prayer but they’re thinking of something else (i.e. What will I do after Church, I’m hungry, will this last 45 minutes or an hour, etc.)

I remember that this is what church used to be like for me until I started experiencing the Mass.

Experiencing the Mass is striving to bring spirituality into Mass. Striving to be present for each moment of the Mass. Saying each prayer intentionally, understanding the meaning of each prayer, making the Mass a meditation.

Some of my recommendations might seem odd at first, but give them a try and see if it works for you. Remember, an open mind is a beautiful mind 🙂

Here are 10 Ways to Experience the Mass:

1. Sit in Front

Growing up, I remember sitting in the last couple rows of the church. I felt so distant from the alter, from the priest, from the readings. Now I sit in the first couple rows. This simple change has been transformative. I am able to look the priest in the eyes and feel the message he is delivering. I am closer to the tabernacle as well. I’m also close to the area where everyone receives communion.

2. Practice Asana (yoga postures) immediately before attending Mass

Many believe that the ultimate goal of asana (the physical postures of yoga) is to prepare the mind for meditation, to prepare the mind for unity with the body and with God or the Universe. What better way to get closer to God than by preparing your body and mind beforehand?

3. Visualize

The process of turning the bread and wine into Jesus’ body and blood can be a boring ceremony that you’ve witnessed a thousand times or it can be a transformative spiritual experience, you decide.

Instead of letting your mind wander, focus intently on the ceremony and visualize what it must have been like that night behind closed doors at The Last Supper. Close your eyes and imagine sitting there with Jesus and his Disciples. You can experience the Last Supper every week if you so choose.

4. Take Notes in a Mass Journal

Remember that time the priest said something that truly resonated with you? Remember the Gospel reading you read that provided true comfort or inspiration? Do you remember it? If not, start bringing a notebook to Mass and taking notes on lessons you learn. Reread your Mass journal every month or whenever you need inspiration.

5. Do Not Kneel When Everyone Else Does

Kneeling causes our shoulders to slouch. It can be painful but more importantly, it blocks your heart. Stay seated with your spine straight and connect to God.

6. If You Don’t Understand or You Disagree with Something, You Don’t Have to Comply

There’s a line in the Catholic Communion ceremony that I disagree with. The congregation says, “Lord, I am not worthy to receive you but only say the word and I shall be healed.” Instead, I say “Lord, we are all worthy to receive you since you are within us.” Just a difference in philosophy. I interpret Jesus’ teachings differently from whichever Pope came up with this line. You don’t have to agree with everything that’s said in Mass in order to create an enriching experience.

Instead of blindly reciting a prayer, stop and say, “What does this actually mean?” If/when you come to fully understand the prayer, it will be 100x more meaningful when you recite it.

7. Bring a Friend

Remember that all are welcome at the Church. What better way to experience a Mass than by sharing this special privilege with a friend?

8. When Your Mind Wanders, Guide it Back to the Moment Gently

This is a yogic principle that can be applied to everyday life. Just because 99% of people are constantly thinking of the past or future, doesn’t mean you have to. If your mind wanders, don’t criticize yourself, don’t get upset. Instead, gently guide your mind back to the moment.

9. Welcome Everyone

The Church welcomes people of all religious denominations, all races, ethnicities, of all sorts of backgrounds. But it’s not always easy for newcomers or “outsiders” to feel welcomed. Extend a warm welcoming smile during Mass and/or approach people after Mass to welcome them 🙂 The Church isn’t about the clergy, the rules,   It’s our Church, if we want it to change for the better, if we want it to survive, we must strive to make

10. Get Creative and Do Your Own Thing

Remember the archaic (now defunct thankfully) rules the Church used to have? How do you think they were abolished? By the people using common sense and thinking of better ideas. Do whatever you can to connect to God and to the people in Mass. After all, that’s the reason we’re there 🙂

Arrive early so that you are not rushing & you can be in a relaxed state of mind.

There are so many amazing health benefits of Turmeric. In it’s most basic form, turmeric is a plant. It is grown in warmer climates, it’s root is the plant of the plant that is consumed. Turmeric is widely consumed in India, it is a component of almost every meal! This post will discuss the positive benefits of turmeric as well as provide a guideline on how to best consume it. Turmeric has been associated with the following positive benefits:

Decrease Inflammation

Yes, the kind of inflammation that causes joint and muscle pain. But also the kind of inflammation that serves as a fertile breeding within the body for the contraction of physical ailments and disease. Inflammation within the body leads to a state where disease can spread. The good news is that we can reduce inflammation naturally by exercising, decreasing stress, and by what we eat. Turmeric, more specifically the curcumin found within turmeric, is a critical agent in wading off inflammation.

Those suffering from arthritis and less severe joint pain have found relief (in many cases even more relief than their pharmaceutical drugs) from regular doses of turmeric.

Brain Health

Alzeimer’s is the most prevalent neurological brain disease in the US. It has no known cure. Researchers believe that Alzeimer’s can be caused by a buildup by certain proteins called Amyloid plaques. Studies show that curcumin can help clear and break up these plaques. Evidence is not conclusive but initial studies are promising.

Many of our readers have also shared that turmeric boosts their long and short term memories, helps them feel more alert and lucid. That’s a good thing 🙂

Ward off Depression

Turmeric has been proven to boost serotonin and dopamine, important nuerotransmitters linked to positive energy and happiness. 

A recent study (albeit small) on a group of 6o patients who were diagnosed with depressions showed that those who were given a tablespoon of turmeric each day reported as much improvement as those who were given Prozac. This is an encouraging development because the Western World has become too dependent on medication in the last two decades.

Natural Cancer Prevention

Turmeric is a strong antioxidant but it’s more than that. It’s anti inflammatory as well, this is what makes it such a special plant. Comprehensive studies are currently being conducted to determine the efficacy of turmeric consumption in preventing cancer but most scientists will agree that decreasing inflammation and increasing oxidation is wise.

Natural Cancer Treatment

here is some evidence that it may help prevent cancer from occurring in the first place, especially cancers of the digestive system (like colorectal cancer).

In one study in 44 men with lesions in the colon that sometimes turn cancerous, 4 grams of curcumin per day for 30 days reduced the number of lesions by 40%

Curcumin boosts levels of the brain hormone BDNF, which increases the growth of new neurons and fights various degenerative processes in the brain.In countries where turmeric is widely consumed, Alzeimer’s and many other diseases are not nearly as prevalent in countries where it is not consumed. Correlation or causation? Most studies say causation.

Best Ways to Consume Turmeric:

There are two schools of thought here. One is to buy the root and the powder and ingest turmeric as God and nature intended: as food. The other school of thought is that eating turmeric powder and turmeric root is unlikely to give you significant doses of cur cumin, thus you must consume the extract. Personally, I do both. My body and joints have been through a lot as years of weight lifting and 15 years of playing a strange sport where large man in helmets and shoulder pads have massive collisions on each play. 😉 

Food or capsule, which is “better” or which is “correct”? We’re not sure yet. There haven’t been enough studies on the long term effects of consuming mass dosages (this is exactly what the capsules are) for extended periods of time. 

• With Food (link to Joe)

You can buy the whole root at most natural grocery stores (i.e. Whole Foods, Fresh Market, etc.) or you can buy the ground powder at most grocery stores. If you’re going with the powder form, make sure to purchase a trusted brand as turmeric can lose its efficacy. General rule of thumb is that the longer it has been out of the ground, the less effective. That’s why I prefer buying the herb myself as opposed to the powder.

• Capsule Form

Be careful here. Above all, turmeric is food. Use it as such. As a society, we have a tendency to try to take the easy way out. If we can extract the healthy components of a food, put it in a pill and be done with it, we usually do. I do not recommend this. Use supplements as supplements — not as replacements. Eat. Real. Food. But if you go the capsule root…. Buy quality.

Buying poor quality turmeric capsules is like purchasing bulk discount brand Fish Oil at Costco — a complete waste of time and money. I take these capsules made by Gaiam. Turmeric’s bioavailability is increased by consuming it with black pepper. Black Pepper contains a compound called peprine which significantly enhances our ability to receive the benefits of curcumin. I also add ground turmeric to many of my meals. I recommend purchasing or growing the root. It is very inexpensive and has a shelf like of three months (use it as soon as possible as fresher is always better!).

I take one capsule in the morning with breakfast and one at night with dinner. Also, throughout some of my meals, I include turmeric powder and black pepper and I will

• Turmeric Tea

Grate it or slice it, then steep it in hot water with ginger, cinnamon, black pepper, squeezed lemon, and honey (real honey, be careful here) if you’d like it to taste sweeter. 

You can slice the turmeric and it in hot water to make tea.

5 Ways to Do Your Yoga Practice by Building Willpower

Many people understand that a daily yoga practice leads to a more enriching life. When we practice, we feel better. We are more in tuned with our senses, with our friends and family, and with the world at large.

The problem many of us have is actually having the willpower to wake up each morning and literally “Do our yoga practice.”

When we’re lying in bed in the morning, our minds have a funny, nagging way of convincing us that it is better to stay in bed and that “doing our practice” is not necessary. Our minds will come up with any sort of excuse. “You’re too tired, you need to clean your room, it’s too cold outside, it’s too hot outside, need to let the dog out, etc.”

Your mission is to transcend these excuses and hit the mat every day. Each time you succumb to excuses, you are losing a bit of willpower. Each time you do your practice, even if it is a short practice, you are making a deposits in the willpower bank.

1. Carpool with a friend

When a friend is coming to pick you up for yoga practice or when a friend is relying on you to pick them up for yoga practice, you are less likely to make up excuses and miss practice. When you’re only letting yourself down or lying to yourself, it is easier to succumb to excuses. If your friend has gone out of their way to pick you up for practice, are you going to lie in bed and make up excuses? Find a friend, rely on each other, and don’t let each other or yourselves down!

2. Set your yoga mat and yoga clothes near your door

A common excuse while lying in bed is, “Oh, I’m not going to get up because I need to get up and find clothes and gather my yoga mat. That’s too much effort, I’ll just continue sleeping.” Eliminate this obstacle by placing your yoga mat and a bag with yoga clothes next to your bed or door. This creates one less excuse for your mind to concoct.

If your asana practice is a home practice, lie your mat on the ground before you go to sleep the previous night. That way, you can literally roll out of bed and do your practice.

To take this a step further, if you practice with incense or music, have the incense in a ready position so that all you need to do is light it. Have your music cued the night before so all you need to do is press “Play.”

Seems like a small/obvious tip, but it really works!

3. Set small, attainable goals

It’s difficult to go from doing zero practice to full asana practice every day. A common mistake we make is trying to achieve too much in too short of a time frame. When we set lofty goals that are difficult to attain, we end up missing them and thus losing the all important willpower that we set out to achieve.

If you’re starting at zero practice, set a goal to practice 3 times a week for five minutes. Once you’ve achieved this successfully, slowly build up. Keep making deposits in the willpower bank 🙂

Rory wrote a great post here on lighting tapas.

4. Utilize an Accountability Partner

Ask a friend to text, call, or email you every day around 10am asking one simple question: “Did you practice today?” If you’re making up excuses having an accountability partner will make this more apparent. It’s important not to get frustrated by these messages, understand that your friend is helping you out of love, looking out for your best interests by forcing you to be honest with yourself.

5. For home practice, find a routine that works for you

While a YouTube yoga video is certainly not necessary, it is helpful for beginners or those who are having difficulty building willpower.

I have several “go to” routines. One is Pattabhi Jois’ Led Primary Series. The other is for when I have less time. When I have only 5~20 minutes, I put this short led yoga with Kirtan music on and do Sun As followed by Sun Bs, and keep flowing wherever my practice takes me. Always leave at least five minutes for Savasana.

Here are a few other yoga YouTube videos that I’ve enjoyed:

David Swenson’s short form Ashtanga 15 minutes

David Swenson’s short form Ashtanga 45 minutes

Pranidihi Varshney short form Ashtanga

The 5 Tibetan Rites by Raageshwari

It is important to be realistic and admit that sometimes you will not have time to do a full practice.

Remember that hitting the mat for even one minute each day is far better than not hitting it at all.

Bonus Idea:

Just get up and practice 🙂
There’s no substitution for looking yourself in the mirror and making a commitment. Tell yourself, even affirm out loud, “I am going to practice asana today. No excuses.” A few days of this and boom…. you’ve created a long lasting habit that sticks.

Remember, as the late Krishna Patabhi Jois rightly said, “Do you practice and all is coming.”

The Dalai Lama’s Views on Marriage in the West

Fifty percent of marriages end in divorce — that’s the statistic that’s frequently pointed to when discussing marriage in the US. However, this is a misleading statistic. For those living above the poverty line, the divorce rate is much lower. For those who are college educated, the divorce rate is much lower. For those who wait until at least their late 20s, the divorce rate is also much lower. Hopefully we can upend this skewed statistic that cynics (perhaps intentionally?) and common citizens (unknowingly) purport.

However, even though the divorce rate is probably overstated, it is true that divorce is on the rise in the West.

The Dalai Lama was recently interviewed, he said, “Too many people in the West have given up on marriage. Westerners do not understand that [marriage] is about developing a mutual admiration of someone, a deep respect, trust and awareness of another human’s needs,” he says. “The new easy-come, easy-go relationships give us more freedom, but less contentment.”

I’ve studied and meditated on the possible reasons for the high divorce rate. Could it be that we’re so absorbed in external distractions (i.e. careers, TV shows, constant advertising bombardments, etc.) that we’ve lost the ability to truly support, respect, and unconditionally love our partners?

Buddhists and Catholics are among the groups that have low divorce rates. But studies have also shown that atheists have lower than average divorce rates. Perhaps there’s not a connection with organized or labeled (a label does not make an explicit distinction between practicing and non practicing member of a religion) religion per se but is there a connection between spirituality, lucidity, consciousness? Does the married couple with more awareness of their connection to their inner being, to the universe and to their partner, have a better chance at “until death do us part”?

The Dalai Lama says, “These are times when destructive emotions like anger, fear and hatred are giving rise to devastating problems throughout the world. But I believe we have a valuable opportunity to make progress in dealing with them, through a collaboration between religion and science. When the two come together, the result is the cultivation of connection — of empathy and compassion.”

“At the heart of this approach is the Buddhist belief in the mutability of consciousness — the idea that we can, through certain practices, change our inner being. It means that the cultivation of loving-kindness can over a period diminish the force of hate in the mind.”

To me, the Dalai Lama’s view on this leads me to believe that cultivating awareness and utilizing practices to help reduce anger, fear, and hatred can help us to become better partners.

Forty percent of household waste comes from material that could have been composted. Overflowing landfills are a big problem. We are running out of room to put our waste. Landfills are negatively impacting the earth and taking up space that could have been otherwise used productively.

It’s amazing to think that four tenths of our household waste could have instead been turned into rich soil.

If we as a society composted more, the quality of our food would be better, landfills would be less prevalent, and the earth would be better off!

Here are seven reasons to compost:

1. Compost enriches the quality of soil by adding dense nutrients.

Compost has proven to turn infertile soil into amazing, rich soil.

2. Reduces the need for chemical fertilizer

Compost is a natural fertilizer. Using compost will cut down on your need for manufactured fertilizer. This saves money, resources, and is better for the earth, soil, and plants.

3. Reduces the amount of material in landfills

Composting instead of throwing fruit and vegetable peels and excess in the garbage prevents a valuable resource form being wasted.

4. Helps soil retain moisture

Adding compost to your soil helps the soil retain water. This is better for your plants and better for the earth since less water is needed.

5. Improves the quality your crops

Horticulturists say that the number one determinant in the quality of your food is the soil in which it is grown. A carrot grown in subpar soil is not the same as a carrot grown in nutrient dense, quality soil.

6. Increases the yields of your crops

Farmers will tell you that the quality of your soil is directly related to the yield of your plants. The better the soil, the better the yield!

7. Composting is fun!

It’s so gratifying to save up compost (banana peels, orange peels, uneaten veggies) and add them to your soil. Instead of sitting in a landfill, your vegetable byproduct is being productive and improving the quality of your soil and thus improving the quality of your crops. A beautiful cycle indeed 🙂

Check out a post we wrote in the past on Compost Tea to Supercharge your Garden.

What has your experience been in composting?

Astragalus is a little known herb in the West but it is used widely in Asia. Astragalus (its technical name is Astragalus Membranaceous) is a staple in Traditional Chinese Medicine. One of the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine is in taking preventative measures to prevent illness and disease.

Astragalus Root Tea can be consumed daily to increase overall vitality. Astragalus offers amazing health benefits for humans, so much so that biopharmaceutical companies are attempting to mimic the natural effects in new drugs.

How does Astragalus work?

Astragalus Root actually tells your body’s macrophages to multiply. Macrophages are large white blood cells. the primary function of these cells is to ingest foreign particles and infectious microorganisms. This can protect your body from disease.

Astragalus Root helps your body’s telomeres stay strong and viable. What are telomeres? Think of a chromosome as a shoelace. Telomeres are like the plastic part at the tip of a shoelace. Our chromosomes’ telomeres degrade and shorten as we age. Think of this as the tip of an old shoelace losing its plastic coating. If the telomere is shortened, chromosomes can split and fray.

This can lead to conditions in the body that are conducive to degenerative disease. A rule of thumb is that the shorter the telomere, the shorter the expected lifespan for the human.

Credit: University of Utah

The University of Utah is conducting interesting research around the fact that telomeres are one of the keys to aging and degenerative. Researchers believe that suspending the shortening and disappearance of telomeres can improve human life expectancy by 10 to 30 years. Richard Cawthon is particularly optimistic on the future of human life expectancy. He believes that by protecting telomeres and eliminating oxidative stress, we might one day reach 1,000 years of average life expectancy for humans. Imagine that…..

Benefits or Astragalus:

• Increased function of immune system
• Slowing of the aging process
• Protects the body from degenerative disease

Where to Get Astragalus:

I’ve had the benefit of having Danielle bring me astragalus root directly from China. Direct from Asia is best way to go but the most practical way is to  go to your local health food or herbs store. Can any readers recommend a reputable online resource that supplies high quality Chinese tea/herbs?

How much Astragalus Should You Consume?

• Take a pinch of Astragalus Root and put it in hot water. Drink this tea once or twice per day. It can be steeped multiple times.
• You can also consume Astragalus Extract through a capsule.
• You can also buy a powdered version of Astragalus. Frontier sells a bulk package on Amazon that I use 🙂

Astragalus Summary

Astragalus Root Tea is a perfect staple in your everyday routine. It’s also tasty — you can combine it with goji berries or honey if you prefer a sweeter taste. Astragalus isn’t sexy, the popular media has not yet heralded it as a Superfood. It’s not hyped and it has a “boring” English name but the benefits of taking Astragalus daily are truly amazing!

Bali, Indonesia is one of the most incredible places on Earth! Danners and I recently spent a couple weeks on this incredible island. More posts to come in the future but for now, here are a few things that we loved about the special island.

1. The People

►Pure positive energy. For the most part, the locals live simple lives. Each morning they wake up, make offerings to Gods, say a prayer of gratitude and then go about their day with a smile. The Balinese are very approachable, they like Americans and Europeans, they’re smiling, laughing, and a joy to be around. Without benefitting monetarily at all, everyone seemed so willing to go out of their way to help us, to get to know us.

It was refreshing to see kids playing outdoors, not on iPads and to see adults taking things slowly, enjoying each other’s company.

2. Fresh Fruit

►The tropical climate allows Bali to grow the best fresh fruit year round. Some of our favorite Balinese fruits were:

• MANGO!!! my favorite 😉
• Rambatan
• Coconut
• Banana (entirely different from banana imported from Central/South America, much richer in texture & substance)

3. Culture

►Balinese culture is perhaps the most interesting, unique culture in the world. I believe that the culture is primarily based upon their religion and their isolation from the world. An island the size of Delaware, most Balinese love living on the island and have no aspirations of ever leaving.

Even more interesting is Balinese Hinduism. Based off of animism and dynamism combined with traditional Hinduism, the Balinese believe that everything has power and energy. They pray to multiple Gods and also worship objects such as large trees, volcanoes, and boulders, believing that everything has energy and power.

Whether it is music, dance, chanting, prayer, incense, or the overall sense of joy, the Balinese culture is incredible 🙂

4. Low Cost

►Compared to the Western World, Bali is CHEAP! Not Cambodia/Burma cheap, but cheap nonetheless.

• Accommodations: Bali is also unique in the sense that if you wanted to, you could stay at a top notch resort for several hundred bucks a night. But at the same time, you can find accommodations for as little as $5 per night.
• Food: Fresh Fruit, street food, grocery store food are all very inexpensive. For example, for one mango, you’ll pay $.60, for a fresh, young coconut, you’ll pay $.75.
• Entertainment: It’s more or less free to visit beautiful beaches (some places charge around $.20 for parking)
• Transportation: You can hire a driver to drive you around the entire island (Bali is about the size of Delaware) for as little as $40 USD per day. There are no trains, mass transportation is almost nonexistent.

5. Weather

►Located right near the equator, it is HOT all the time. There are two seasons in Bali: Summer & Rainy. Rainy season is January through March and when it rains it pours. One would think that when 85 degree sunny weather proceeds a downpour, it would make for a hot, humid mess . However, in Bali, after the rain showers, there is hardly any humidity. Even during rainy season, there’s a good chance you’ll het some non rainy whether and there are far less tourists resulting in a more authentic Balinese experience.

Yoga and Meditation Music for a Spiritual Practice

Yoga and Meditation music can greatly enhance your practice.

In my personal practice, I aim to increase my awareness and to decrease the internal chatter within my mind. Yoga and meditation music helps me. Once I can quiet my “monkey mind,” I feel more connected to God and the Universe. This connection is one of the primary reasons I practice.

“Incessant thoughts of the past or future is a virtual reality. Aliveness is right here and now.”

I like to practice yoga with and without music. The sound of the breath or the sound of silence can be very powerful. When I do listen to music while practicing, I prefer spiritual music. This Lady Gaga song has been played in a couple of the classes I participated in. This song does not help me bring awareness internally or to the moment. I’m not criticizing people for listening to this type of yoga and meditation music during asana practice, it’s just not my preference 🙂

I prefer beautiful music with mantras and minimal English words. I prefer music that is calming yet strengthening. This helps me move inwards. Rather than trying to interpret lyrics, spiritual music without English words helps me stay lucid in the moment.

I’ve found these songs throughout the last six years from various sources. One of the best parts about traveling internationally is that you’re exposed to different culture, music, and teachers. I feel so grateful to have found such powerful yoga and meditation music. You’ll notice by the lack of YouTube views on some of these songs, these songs are relatively unknown. That’s why I’m so excited to share the following yoga and meditation music with you!

Some my favorite yoga and meditation music:

Baba Hanuman by Shantala

Om by Peruquois

I Will Surround You by Stars of the Lid

Now We Are Free by Hans Zimmer & Lisa Gerrard

Baba Hanuman by Krishna Das

Muladhara by Shiva Rea & Alex Theory

Gobinda Hare by Snatam Kaur

New Moon by Chinmaya Dunster

I hope this yoga and meditation music helps enhance your practice. Let us know what you think and feel free to share your own yoga and meditation music in the comments section below!
