How To Settle With The Best Tarot Cards Out There


By Patrick Barnes


Most of the time, we need to find a thing that would help us with what are the basic mechanics that we wanted to settle through it. We either focus on what we wish to achieve or seek through some points that would help us with anything.

Seeking for wonderful information should be a bit direct and would allow us to handle those details without having any problem or something of that sort. We surely to go about it whenever that is possible, but if we are presented with few things about what a good tarot card might be, then it would be best if you take advantage of those tips too.

The most vital part of selecting something is to compare the information that you have acquired or know already to the things that are showed to you. By doing that, you can easily identify who among them is really good. Of course, this kind of thing is only applicable if you are the kind of individual that already knows about this kind of tasks.

Looking for several things would surely help us with the important points that we wish to accomplish. It might change depending on what are the details that are necessary for us to do, but it is a critical point that we push ourselves into those notions that would at least help us with some important goals that are necessary for the job.

Seeking for features can also help. There are good quality ones out there that might be a bit expensive from the normal ones, but it provides great features that might somehow assist you in one way or another. Get to that point and ensure that you put up with the basic manners that we wanted to present to you whenever that is a possible thing to do.

When we are about to sell some sort of implications, we can seek through with enough details whenever that is a necessary aspect to help you with anything. While we are not too certain about it, we should check into the process and get to the idea of dealing with the whole process. It might not affect something, but it would always be fine.

Slowly, we are able to get some feedback with something we are not too certain about. As we get to the whole case, we should imply the notions that it would give us the proper way of handling the situation whenever that is quite necessary. So, handle that out and it would never be an issue anymore for us to get into.

We mostly go about the prices of things and it would never be an issue to gather those basic information to help you with what is being showed on your end. The problem that you might have right now should be a bit direct to consider them properly.

We seek into with the basic efforts we wish to accomplish more about. It might not always assist you with something, but it would be wonderful too.

There are Many Yoga Paths


by Nina
Travelers on a Mountain Path at Night by Hiroshima
“Yoga is a spectacularly multifaceted phenomenon, and as such it is very difficult to define because there exceptions to every conceivable rule.” 

“So when we speak of Yoga we speak of a multitude of yogic paths and orientations with contrasting theoretical frameworks and occasionally even divergent goals, though all are means to liberation.” — Georg Feuerstein

Although Ram has written an entire series on the eight-fold path of yoga (also called Raja Yoga) as described in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, it is important to understand that there are many other paths besides the eight-fold path to achieving the same yogic goals. I mentioned this in my post 8 Essential Yoga Concepts last week, when I discussed the essential yogic concept of “many paths.” 

Since then I’ve been doing some research on those paths. In 8 Essential Yoga Concepts I said that the Bhagavad Gita mentioned three different paths and that Vivekananda described four. At that time my intention was to describe the four paths that Vivekananda identified in more detail. And, in order to help you, my readers, to better understand each path, I also wanted to find a well-known yogi or two who traveled each one path (for example, Mohandas K. Ghandi is the considered by many as the ultimate practitioner of Karma Yoga.)

To learn more about these paths, I turned to The Yoga Tradition by Georg Feuerstein, my go-to resource on yoga history. When I read the following, I wasn’t completely surprised (I knew from having already read the book about the multitude of yogic paths and crazy twists and turns of yoga history), but I soon realized that my original plan wasn’t going to work:

“Within the realm of Hinduism, six major forms of Yoga have gained prominence. They are Raja-Yoga, Hatha-Yoga, Jnana-Yoga, Bhakti-Yoga, Karma-Yoga and Mantra-Yoga. To these must be added Laya-Yoga and Kundalini-Yoga, which are closely associated with Hatha-Yoga but are often mentioned as independent approaches. These two are also subsumed under Tantra-Yoga.”

In the same chapter, Feuerstein also mentioned Aurobindo’s Integral Yoga as a separate path from the “modern” era. Finally, he pointed out something I knew but wasn’t taking into consideration, which is that there are “Yogas” within the Jaina, Buddhist, and Sikhism traditions (something I will not be going into today).

I quickly realized that if I was to describe each of those paths and come up with a representative yogi for each one, I’d be writing a whole chapter! Instead, I’m just going to recommend that for those of you who are interested in learning more about all these paths and more that you read "Chapter 2: The Wheel of Yoga" in The Yoga Tradition yourself. I will, however, provide a very brief summary of the paths he described below.

But I was also left with several questions. Which of these paths am I on? Maybe Hatha-Yoga with some Raja-Yoga and Karma-Yoga mixed in? And does it matter if I mix it up like that? Do I have to follow only one path? Or any path at all?

According to Feuerstein, not only do I not “need” to become a convert to any path, but also I should not accept yogic ideas and practices without questioning them. 

“In our struggle for self-understanding and psycho-spiritual growth, we can benefit immensely from a liberal exposure to India’s spiritual legacy. We need not, of course, become converts to any path, or accept yogic ideas and practices without questioning. C.G. Jung’s warning that we should not attempt to transplant Eastern teachings into the West rings true at a certain level; mere imitation definitely does more harm than good. The reason is that if we adopt ideas and lifestyles without truly assimilating them emotionally and intellectually, we run the risk of living inauthentic lives.”

When I read the above quote, I felt very relieved! For one thing, yes, I guess it is okay for me to mix it up and not be committed to a single path. But also I realized that this is what my post about “many paths” should be about: just a sort of general statement that, as Feuerstein said, there is a “multitude of yogic paths.” And as you learn about these paths, you may find ideas and practices that are useful to you (or not). So keep an open mind, and don’t get stuck on one path or with one teacher’s interpretations of what “yoga” means just because it’s the one you started out with.

Some of the Yoga Paths (Summarized from The Yoga Tradition)

Raja-Yoga: The yoga system (eight-fold path) of Patanjali described in the “Yoga Sutras,” which emphasizes meditative introversion.

Hatha-Yoga: A psycho-spiritual technology intended to fortify the body to withstand transcendental realization. Unlike Raja-Yoga, Hatha-Yoga expresses the ideal of Tantra, which is to “live in the world out of the fullness of Self-realization rather than to withdraw from life in order to gain enlightenment.”

Jnana-Yoga: The path to Self-realization through wisdom, in which you learn to discern the Real from the unreal or illusory.

Bhakti-Yoga: Self-realization is achieved through devotion to God or the Divine, who can be worshiped in song, ritual action or meditation.

Karma-Yoga: The “yoga of action” described in the Bhagavad Gita, in which every action is turned into a “sacrifice,” where you surrender outcome of the your action to Divine.

Mantra-Yoga: The use of sacred utterances, numinous sounds, or sounds charged with psycho-spiritual power as rituals to achieve Self-realization. Has 16 limbs, including conduct, concentration, mediation, breath, and mudras, so more than just mantras are required.

Laya-Yoga: Self-realization or Samadhi is achieved through “absorption.” Central to this path is the concept of the kundalini-shakti (the serpent power).

Integral-Yoga: Developed by Sri Aurobindo, this form of yoga has the purpose of bringing “divine consciousness” back into the human body and into ordinary life. It has no prescribed techniques because the individual must simply open himself or herself to the higher Power.

When There Is Need For A Podiatric Surgeon Austin Should Be The Area To Visit


By Minnie Whitley


Podiatric surgeon is simply a podiatric specialist but with higher training and education. To reach the level of being called a surgeon in the field of podiatry requires extra training and several years of experience. Like ordinary podiatrists these surgeons specialize in carrying out surgeries on feet, ankles, and the lower extremity. They may also diagnose problems, prescribe medicines and medication procedures, and also treat such disorders.

These surgeons make the only medical specialists whose specialty lies in performing surgical procedures on ankles and feet. This gives them much use in the contemporary society hence when one needs an elegant podiatric surgeon Austin offers the best location to go to. The location is packed with highly qualified podiatrists with years of experience and high training. As such, they offer reliable and excellent services to their patients.

To become a professional in podiatry, early preparation is necessary to be properly prepared for the strict rules implemented in the professional. An undergraduate degree that takes four years in a university is one of the academic qualifications required. The undergraduate course should cover courses relevant to podiatry such as chemistry, physics, anatomy, and biology among others. A bachelor degree is important because some podiatric schools do not accept candidates without it.

After successful graduation from the four years of undergraduate work, the next step is the getting into a podiatric medical school for another four years. Admission into these schools gets tougher every year making merit the key factor considered when choosing candidates. An application is required from the and like other medical schools like orthopedic having extra qualifications may be useful. Having elegant co-curricular capabilities add an advantage to applications.

When the four years of studies in podiatric school are over, one is required to apply for hospital based surgical residency. Most residency programs last between three and four years even though some people may choose to extend the period. Completion of the residency program marks the start of one to practice as a podiatrist. In Austin practitioners are given licenses to practice their career legally. Some choose to get employed while others venture in private practice.

However, at this level the practitioner may not have the required training to perform surgeries on people. Their training is considered not sufficient yet. Extra classes and research in this field of medicine is required for one to become a surgeon of podiatry. The regulatory board concerned with podiatrists in USA determines when one gains the rank of surgeon in podiatry.

Among the conditions and disorders handled by these professionals include congenital deformities, heel pain, skin and nail disorders, nerve entrapments, structural deformities, and trauma-caused injuries among others. The level of training they have permits them to take care of joints, tendons, bones, and muscles in lower extremity. Their work encompasses all age groups and on animals sometimes.

Practitioners in different places have different working conditions. Some work with athletes and soccer players on fields whereas others work on battle zones with soldiers. In ordinary settings, they have an office but they spend most time theaters.

If they plan undergoing acupressure Pittsburgh residents need to have some knowledge on the procedure so as to make an informed decision. It is important to weigh the positives and the negatives before arriving at the final decision. The therapy, which a type of alternative medicine related to acupuncture, is based on what is known as life energy. Proponents of this theory suggest that life energy passes through specific body regions known as meridians. Disease is caused by blockage of the meridians. By applying some pressure on these meridians will relieve the symptoms.

Acupressure is about 5000 years old. It was mainly practiced within the Asian countries before it was extended to other countries outside the subcontinent. The main indication for this therapy is conditions that are induced by stress. It has also been found to be quite helpful in boosting the immune system. Specifically, it is said to reduce tension, to alleviate pain and to improve circulatory function. The main similarity of this therapy with puncture is the involvement of meridians. The difference is that fingers are used for acupressure and needles are used for acupuncture.

Stimulation of the pressure points and the meridians help in a number of areas include pain relief, sexual dysfunction, reproductive disorders, and relief of muscle tension. It has also been shown to detoxify the body. Balancing body energy greatly helps in maintaining good health. People who undergo this treatment gain resistance against a host of diseases and medical conditions. These conditions include, among others, mental stress, fibromyalgia, trauma, learning disorders and emotional disturbance.

The use of the therapy for beauty has been done for hundreds of years. It is still a fairly common procedure among the Chinese. The pressure helps in maintaining circulation and muscle tone in various parts of the body. Over time, it helps get rid of wrinkles and thus eliminates the need for drugs and surgery. Excessive toxins are removed from the underlying the connective tissue evenly spread.

It greatly increases sexual endurance and pleasure between couples especially when undertaken on a regular basis. The treatment is therefore recommended for couples who are struggling with issues such as infertility, impotence and sexual frustration.

The treatment has also been used in managing addictions. It is not always easy to break addictions. The main treatments are pharmacological and these have the disadvantage of leading to unwanted side effects. This therapy brings the addicted person back to reality. It boosts their morale and self-esteem. This is observed with different addictions including alcohol, cigarettes and narcotics.

There is not much that is involved in the preparation. The main precaution is for patients to avoid large meals before and after the procedure. Alcohol consumption and intense physical exercise should be avoided. After the procedure, it is advisable to have adequate rest and to be compliant to medication.

In using the treatment the patient is first taken through the process of history taking and physical examination in order first make the diagnosis. This is followed by the location of specific points to be used for pressure application.
