Water from Thin Air! This is earth saving technology for real!

Hey! This is an incredible situation. Make sure everyone you know realizes that this is a real thing.


These are devices that generate perfect drinking water from the air itself!

This is the greatest news i have heard in a long time related to the environment and people living without clean drinking water in the world. This here is the answer, no question. Spread the word, hopefully the big charities will discover this technology for use world wide. We can use this in our homes also and get the benefit of not having to drink recycled tap water or bottled waters from mysterious sources.

Power Yoga and Injuries

Sometimes when we get injured in Yoga we are told to take time off and just wait for it to heal.
The truth is that we almost never want to take a day off of yoga per se, but we do want to take a few days off of aggravating the situation. Simply changing your yoga sequencing to emphasize other aspects of your practice more, will allow it to heal. The body does not heal unless it is exercising, generally speaking.

Modern Medicine would rather manage disease than cure it.

It is far more profitable for Medicine to manage a disease than it is to prevent it or cure it. This is why Cancer treatment has become what it is today. I don't like to infer negative plots but this one is clear as day. They string people along with the treatments that take a long time to kill but that cost a lot of money. While on chemotherapy they demand that people eat twinkies and other garbage food so that the body can not resist the chemotherapy. There is little logic in the approach but there sure are billions of dollars going into the medical establishments pockets. Prevention is always better than cure! There is a cure for cancer. Cancer can be cured with the perfect combination of fasting, eating perfectly, meditation, rest, and grace. People like Brian Clemens at the Hippocrates Institute have been doing it for years. May God bless them!
My book will also help... go to www.fredbusch.com and check it out.

Healing the Wrists in Yoga

Healing the wrists! The most important thing when doing healing sequencing for the wrists is to avoid the particular angle of your wrist that is painful. The angle of the writs in Downward Dog is acceptable. The angle of the wrist in Pushup Position or Plank Position is not. So we will be avoiding Pushup Position wrists as well as anything that puts the wrist in an overly flexed position. So wrists angle Downward Dog, correct. Wrist angle Plank Position, incorrect, meaning aggravating. Okay? So avoid pushups. If you need to do pushups with fists, you can. If you can do pushups with fists, it’s fine. You can also do Cobra Pose with your hands in front to create a gentle angle for your wrists. So avoid pushups, avoid Upper Plank, avoid Vassiestassen, avoid anything that puts your wrist in a 90 degree angle.

Sun Salutations in Yoga for Lower Back Pain

The lower back – The worst poses for lower back stuff is forward bending with legs straight either sitting or standing. Exception to this is wide leg forward bends, which are acceptable because the legs are wide. The relationship that you must recognize is between hamstrings, ischial tuberosity, pelvic tilt and sacroiliac ligaments. Thus, avoid all forward bending with straight legs.

In its place, deeply bend your knees while doing any forward bending. In order to lengthen your hamstrings, we will employ this pose where we lie on our back and pull on our straight leg. That’s the most effective way to lengthen hamstrings and it does so in a way that is absolutely and totally safe for lower backs. Also note if you have herniated discs, avoid almost all twists unless you are with a very competent teacher and you engage your belly. Please note, it’s very important that you bend your knees during the forward bending as a way to alleviate the stress in the sacroiliac joint, which is a ligament, not a tendon. Okay?

An example of Sun Salutation for lower backs is inhale, your arms above your head. Exhale, forward bend and deeply bend your knees. Inhale, look up, keep your knees bent. Exhale, step your feet back and lower yourself down. Inhale, cobra pose or upward dog. Exhale, Downward Dog.

Fred Busch Interview with Italian Press in 2008

Interviewer: So on June 25, 07. I just kind of got a little inspiration from your Web site and your book that you did brought. And I just wanted to know to start what is your background because this book show the miracle how you transform your life to food to lifestyle to job or to location and stuff. And I just wanna know first of all how did it happen, this change, and what inspire you to change? And when did it happen?

Fred Busch: Yeah. That was the main catalyst for me. I was spiritually aware when I was a kid. I don’t know how, but even when I was 15 and 14, I was reading Lao Tse and Zen Buddhism and things about enlightenment, Taoism. In high school, I was attracted to that stuff.

And then I went and I studied wildlife and all that, and I traveled around the world and kept learning as much as I could about how the world works and all that. And then I got deathly sick?

Interviewer: What it was age when you started to get sick?

Fred Busch: 22. 23. 1998. And that’s how I came very close to dying, and I got very lucky to be saved to speak, as fast as I was, so I basically got very lucky even though I got very sick. I had a very powerful realization about how valuable life is and how precious it is and how sacred it is, and I never forgot that vision because it’s burned into my brain, and I dreamed about being physically fit, and I dreamed about – this is while I was in bed, sweating and wondering whether I was going to survive or not.

I was dreaming about running through the grass; and I was dreaming about what it would be like to be healthy again. I could just feel how lucky I would be if I could get all that back. So although I was treated successfully in Africa, I came back to the States to recover.

And I was very weak, and that’s when I found yoga.

Interviewer: This was ’98 still?

Fred Busch: Yeah. Uh-huh. And as soon as I started doing yoga, I realized how valuable it was, and I started doing it basically every day right away. I wasn’t like a once a week kind of person for a couple of years. It never happened with me. Once I started, I started directly.

And then the yoga brought in the awareness of my body, which I went to a school for healing and massage therapy, and I studied all about the body and anatomy and the science behind the body. And I also studied food and nutrition and what is human food and what is not human food. And I studied all of that very extensively during this time in 98 and 99.

And I put it all into practice because everything I studied made sense to me, the idea of eating food that wasn’t cooked made a lot of sense to me, cause I studied wildlife, and I’ve seen how the world works out in the wild, so everything was common sense to eat food that wasn’t destroyed. So I ate well.

So for seven straight years, I did yoga every single day and ate 100% raw food. And basically, I used myself as the science experiment for what is this gonna do? And every single day I got stronger, and every single day I felt better. And to this day, I feel like I’m getting stronger every single day.

Interviewer: Are you still eating the raw food?

Fred Busch: No.

Interviewer: A little bit –

Fred Busch: Oh, a lot. I’m still eat –

Interviewer: Vegetarian.

Fred Busch: I still eat very very well by average standards, but compared to the 100% raw food, I’ve eased off that only because it was easier in my lifestyle to ease off of it. I can’t pretend that it wasn’t. It’s a little bit more fun to eat some toast once in a while.




Interviewer: But you still don’t touch animal, which is the most important.

Fred Busch: Oh no. No way. Nothing from an animal.

A Quote by Dr. Robert Snaidach of the Transformation Instititute

“By far the most important cause of ill health in man is his many and habitual dietetic errors of one kind or another, the immediate results of which are not felt and intelligently evaluated. It is the gradual erosion of health by the more or less constant bombardment by erroneous eating practices which, in most cases, is responsible for the destruction of health.” Dr. Robert Snaidach.

You are what you eat

It is impossible to over-emphasize the importance of a proper diet. You are your diet. The cliché ‘you are what you eat’ has, for the most part, lost its edge. Let me try to sharpen it again. YOU ARE MADE OUT OF WHAT YOU EAT. The food that you put into your mouth becomes you. The cells that make up the tissues in your eyes and lungs and blood are made from the food that you eat. Your body is making over a million cells a second and the material it uses is the food you eat. Think about that. Right now your body is using the food you ate this morning to create and maintain you. What did you eat for breakfast? Think of your body using something like a Pepsi or a sugary cereal to make up your blood. Think of making a weak cell.

Health is Beauty

Your health plays a larger role in impacting the various aspects of your life than anything else. Happiness, spirituality, your love life, levels of productivity and creativity - everything in your world is colored by your health. If you want to do anything from regulate your sleep patterns to improve your skin tone, the way to start is to get healthy. Being healthy and looking good are the same things so if you want to be more attractive, get healthy. What about depression, emotional problems or difficulty concentrating? The brain is no different than the other organs in your body. It is the emotion center and where your ideas originate, but it is still an organ and when your body suffers from any ailment, your brain is suffering. Your thoughts, your emotions are suffering. So if you want to feel better, get healthy.

Wrist Therapy to heal wrists

Duncan Wong's Wrist Therapy is the most formidable technique for preventing wrist issues or healing wrists. The wrists must be allowed to heal first then the wrist therapy is useful. To let the wrists heal in a yogic context means do not allow the wrist to bend to 90 degrees for a few weeks. Avoid Push-ups and Plank Poses and Vasistasana and anything like Crow that does that to the wrists. When the wrists feel better you can employ the wrist therapy which implies having the wrists point forward-forward, then turning them out to point back-back. This is the cure for what is known as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Greetings Ruckus Family,

This has been a busy spring and we have goodies for you to watch and experience with us! We hosted an amazing Tactics Summit, and supported community actions with Klamath River indigenous folks, anti-Chevron activists, and Palestinian solidarity youth.

Read "Skinny Bitch!"

Skinny Bitch is a relatively new book that i know everyone should read.  It is just like my book, A Clear and Definite Path, except that it is better in certain ways.  Skinny Bitch uses a wonderfully irreverent tone that works very well is presenting the blunt message of eating better to look beautiful, feel better, and save the planet.  The Authors use curse words that are funny and their attitude is excellent and summed up as "Learn this stuff, it is for your own good!"  I can not recommend it enough!

National Yoga Party Endorses Barack Obama

National Yoga Party Charter

National Yoga Party Charter

The National Yoga Party is an association of organized voters who practice Yoga and so share a common understanding of the world and the steps necessary to help make it a better place.
Our Charter is Simple. We seek to be organized and disciplined and ready to vote together.


1) We are loosely aligned Democrats who just want to be more clear about our positions regarding eating animals and not being conscious of our actions and how that effects the world.

2) We suggest the practice of Yoga Poses for great exercise and Yoga Meditation for peace of mind and heart, and the combination of both at the same time as a great practice. We are not affiliated with any religion at all. People of all Faiths can incorporate yoga (scientific) techniques for health and peace of mind.

3) We are environmentally oriented with a deep respect for the earth. We are interested in very concrete actions to mitigate climate change and loss of rainforest and nature everywhere.
We understand that humans try to live in balance with the earth.

4) We are opposed to the idea of biofuels as a solutions to the climate and energy situation as biofuels cause more carbon than they save to make and because they drive prices of staple foods higher where it can't be afforded.

5) We choose to when we can and prefer to not eat meat or fish because we know the multitude of reasons for limiting its intake.

6) We are supporters of the Unions and the people who organize to make a better life for themselves.

7) We believe Exercising Every Day and Eating Smart Help make us smarter and healthier.

8) We Believe that Peace is the highest state for human kind. Battles may have to be fought but peace is the jewel. Unnecessary war is to be stopped and peacekeeping forces increased to bring more peace on Earth.

9) We strongly disagree with all forms of hunting except for survival and whaling as presently practiced by the Japanese Government.

10) We believe that kindness and compassion can be a guiding principle in our dealings with our fellow human beings and have a reverence for life itself.

If you are interested in joining the National Yoga Party email us at nationalyogaparty@miamiyoga.com

Gratitude

The foundation of all spiritual sensations is gratitude. First things first. We take everything for granted all the time, until we have a near death experience and we wake up. I have heard it said, and i agree, that a near death experience that you survive is the greatest thing that can happen to a person. It certainly was for me. We have been given the greatest of all, human birth, and each breath is a profound gift. Each breath doesnt have to come to us... and that it does is incredible and mystical. Taking things for granted seems to be the human condition but if you establish yourself in gratitude even for a few moments at a time, a whole world of peace and enlightenment unfolds for you.
