Radiation, Agriculture, & the 9-Bottled Wind Video
First a word about the terrible tsunami and nuclear power plant disaster in Japan. Yes, as predicted so many people downloaded my free “Radiation Detox” ebook, that I wrote years ago in case something like this (or worse) would ever happen, that my server crashed and bandwidth was used up. Therefore I moved it to my meditation site server which has lots of available bandwidth capacity. In case you still want the information, you can now download it and see the whole story behind its creation at
http://www.MeditationExpert.com/RadiationDetox/
Yes, you can pass around that link and post on Facebook, twitter it and so on. The server can handle it.
It is silly how many in the US are losing their heads over this problem and buying all sorts of emergency products when they are not at risk. The lack of common sense is astounding. I always say that it is had to teach the dharma to people who lack common sense in that if they get common sense things wrong, how can they understand higher spiritual matters. But alas, that is the fate of human beings.
This catastrophe is why I have to say once again that we need many more seed banks placed everywhere in the world. Yes, MULTIPLE SEED BANKS, one of my improtant issues.
The insufficient number of these is another MAJOR oversight by those who should be thinking of the future. If there is ever a major war it is seeds that the armies will want to grab and take home after all is over. After all, life has to return to normal and without agricultural capabilities you will be in trouble.
When the Russians entered Berlin at the end of WWII do you know what they went after with haste?
They went after the Gestapo files so that they could have the dirt on important people. That was a top priority. Invading armies always go after the secret police files first so they can find who was a collaborator, who did what, etc. and can then use that information in the future to blackmail important people (in the government and society) after all dust settles again.
You probably didn’t know that because you were not trained to think this way, and that’s why it escapes people that seeds would be ultra-important after a major nuclear disaster, such as war. The big prize would be non-contaminated, pristine non-GMO seeds, and so we need to sponsor many seed banks all over the world to protect from future catastrophes. Our politicians the world over like to think they are statesmen and spend mega-billions to keep each country at the military forefront (which definitely should be an objective) but hardly any of these individuals steps forward and demands that we spend $20-30 million on a few seed banks to preserve the future.
I don’t want people waking up to this after it’s too late, so once again I have to stand up and issue the warning yet again. I’m nobody, but I have to say it because maybe you’re a somebody who I can reach, so you need to think about these issues.
Do not leave our agricultural future of seed heritages in the hands of purely profit motivated firms like Monsanto because their actions will, as did the banks, end up leading to future agricultural disasters when the right perfect storm hits, and it will in time. Easy to see, easy to predict, easy to prevent but I doubt the statesmen will reign in what needs to be done.
In Buddhism there is something called “Right Livelihood,” or a virtuous work livelihood. A friend wrote me that he was making a presentation in Germany on right livelihood and needed a quote. I told him most people do not understand this. Soldiers fighting a war to protect their country, for instance, are practicing right livelihood even though most people hear “soldier” and think of the killing, and then think otherwise. Wrong, all countries need to be protected. A strong and capable military is not just necessary but an honorable calling.
Now consider case #2. A banker who starts initiating mortgage loans to the unqualified and starts selling those bad mortgage loans to others, justifying the lapse in high credit standards by saying to himself it will all wash out in the averages, is just cheating himself and not practicing right livelihood. You hear “banker” and immediately think “right livelihood,” but no – a man is defined by his actions, and the wrong motives and actions with foresight negate the label.
So similarly, decisions on the future of agriculture must be made on what is best for the people, and not what maximizes profits. It is now in the hands of people without foresight, and in the hands of “errant men of business” who have all sorts of excuses for their actions, but of whom 60 Minutes will have a field day and we will all suffer when a catastrophe strikes (such as the 5000 farmers in India who committed suicide due to the failure of their GMO seeds – this reminds me of the Nestle baby formula trajedy where thousands died because of unscrupulous marketing practices).
Yes, I know this sort of effort at agricultrual control is in league with national strategic hegemony plans, but they are playing it wrong. If this trend does not stop, the catastrophe from terminator seeds and the like will be bigger than the banking crisis. I kid you not. So, we need more seed banks and a rethink of who’s controlling our agricultural future and if the actions being allowed are in the best interests of the people. If not the results can be fatal for the public. But I digress.
Alright, enough of my “high on my horse” preaching … why the email? Because I wanted to send you another FREE gift. Someone sent me a 20+ year old video of Master Nan performing the 9-bottled wind on Youtube, so I’m sending you there so you can see the hand movements and body posture. I describe this practice in my books and articles, but you need a video to see it performed. This is the best overall pranayama technique I have ever found, and other pranayama experts tell me is the best they have tried, too.
Yes, I know the video is in Chinese language. Just ignore the Chinese language and WATCH for the posture and hand positions, and then go look up the descriptions which are too long for this email. The description of the practice is found in Twenty Five Doors and in many of our articles and publications. The video:

By the way, if you watch a lot of videos for work or fun, what I’m about to tell you will change your life. Go buy a copy of Enounce MYSpeed which can speed up video viewing viewing time by 3X and cut the amount of time you have to spend watching important lessons. This will transform your life. Absolutely. You can find it here.

Enjoy the Free Gifts, and remember that to succeed in cultivation you need to exercise your WISDOM. Spiritual cultivation is not about sitting in a cave somewhere meditating in solitude but also about stepping out and making efforts to do what is right for society, not what is profitable, and your efforts do matter

How to Practice the 9-Bottle Wind Pranayama Technique
I often tell people to practice the 9-bottled wind pranayama practice for health reasons, and to help prepare for better meditative states. You can find the instructions in many of my books, such as 25 Doors to Meditation, as well as on the website.
Someone sent me this video of Master Nan performing the 9-bottled wind practice. It’s in Chinese and probably over 20+ years old by the looks of it. However, I know you’re smart enough to just ignore the language difference and pay attention to how he holds his hands, elbows, etc. during the video as he goes through the motions of the practice and shows you how to do it in terms of posture. That’s what people always want to know.
Enjoy …

US Stocks, Japanese Stocks and Dogs of the Dow
We are getting near one of those important junctures in the market — QE2, the stimulus plan of the Federal government, will end in June. Cycles show that the market may turn in May in anticipation of this drop off of easy credit and low interest rates.
On top of this, the “Dogs of the Dow” strategy has an interesting cyclical profile, and Japanese stocks (EWJ) do too. Look for a contrarian low point in a few months.
Where can you find all these projections so you can make money or save money, specifically the value of your 401K? Just for this month only I’ve made my Dow forecast newsletter available for free. You can download it at

After the Tsunami …
The multiple reactor problems in Japan after the tsunami – the risk of a meltdown
and contaminants spreading everywhere – have prompted me to write. I once wrote a
book, “Help Support Your Body’s Healing After Intense Radioactive or Radiation
Exposure” for exactly this and other radiation type emergencies. It’s totally free,
I’ve never made any money off it, and is designed to review the information about
what people have done after severe radiation exposure or exposure to radioactive
contaminants. Basically, they go on special diets heavy in sea vegetables to bind
any contaminants they ingest.
The book is at http://www.meditationexpert.com/RadiationDetoxDraft.pdf .
You canreadthe whole story behind it at:
MeditationResearch.com/RadiationDetox/
Why this book? What’s in it?
It occured to me that in case of a nuclear power plant problem (which seems to
happen every few years), or dirty bomb or nuclear war or anything else, people
should know what to do to protect themselves after something happens. The countries
of the world spend hundreds of millions of dollars on nuclear weapons and deterrence every year, and have giant organizations organizd around these issues, but spend virtually nothing on research as to what the population should do if they are
exposed to these things. Strange with all the money available and size of personnel
involved in the overall apparatus.
There’s nothing substantial out there except the normal “take potassium iodide”
information. Nothing, zippo, nada except stuff like “stay away from the windows” and “stay indoors and keep the house sealed as much as possible. Drink bottled water, stay away from milk and garden produce.” What about exposure?
It’s sort of an oversight to spend this gargantuan amount of money on everything except what you need to know just in case all this stuff happens, which they spend millions to prevent, so I took it upon myself to make an offering by taking a few years to collect any and all public information I could find on what to do for most types of radiation exposures and put it together in a book for humanity. I’m a nobody in the world but there it is. Send it to who needs it. It’s best if you download it and send it because every time this happens the server breaks down because of bandwidth usage from so many downloads. So download it and send it yourself in your own email, and preserve my bandwidth so someone else who needs it can get the information.
Everyone knows that the government will tell them to take potassium iodide in the
case of a nuclear plant emergency, so I didn’t need to cover that. But what did
people exactly do in a case of a Chernobyl or Nagasaki?
Here are some tidbits from the book, which I never bothered to clean up and make
pretty …
At the time of the atomic bombing of Japan, Tatsuichiro Akizuki, M.D. was Director
of the Department of Internal Medicine at St. Francis’s Hospital in Nagasaki and fed
his staff and patients a strict diet of brown rice, miso and tamari soy soup,
wakame, kombu and other seaweed, Hokkaido pumpkin, and sea salt and prohibited the
consumption of sugar and sweets. Sugars and sweets were forbidden because they
suppress the immune system! Because of this diet — which was rich in sea vegetables
– he saved everyone in his hospital while many other survivors perished from the
radiation sickness. (Tatsuichiro Akuziki, M.D. Nagasaki 1945, London Quarter books,
1981).
So after the Nagasaki bombing, people who ate a strict macrobiotic diet — including
brown rice and miso soup with sea vegetables — did not suffer from radiation
poisoning even though they were within a mile of the explosion. The high iodine
content of their diet may have been extremely helpful on this account because if
proper amounts of natural “healthy” iodine already exist in the thyroid gland, then
it cannot absorb any other forms of iodine, such as the radioactive iodine
contaminant.
Also,…
In 1968 a group of Canadian researchers at McGill University of Montreal, headed by
Dr. Stanley Skoryna, studied the question as to whether seaweed could help rid the
body of radioactive toxins (Skoryna S.C. et al, “Intestinal Absorption of
Radioactive Strontium,” Canadian Medical Association Journal 191: 285-88, 1964). Dr.
Skoryna and his team were trying to devise a method to counteract the effects of
nuclear fallout and reported that sodium alginate from brown algae “permitted
calcium to be normally absorbed through the intestinal wall while binding most of
the strontium. The sodium alginate and strontium was subsequently excreted from the
body. The experiments were designed to devise a method to counteract the effects of
nuclear fallout and radiation.”
The key finding of this study was identifying that sea vegetables contained a
polysaccharide substance — called sodium alginate which is present in large
quantities in brown algae such as Laminarae (kelp), Fucus (bladderwrack) and
Ascophyllum (fertilizer seaweed) — that selectively bound radioactive strontium and
eliminated it from the body.
It turns out that in case after case, researchers ended up using heavy metal
chelators and sea vegetables, like kelp or algae, to bind the heavy radioactive
contaminants people ingested, and kept people on diets that did not suppress their
immune systems to see protection and recovery. An important function of the sea
vegetables in helping our bodies fight radiation poisoning is the fact that they
contain Iodine-127 which will be absorbed by our thyroid and thus prevent the uptake
of radioactive, toxic Iodine-131.
What is the best chelator for the heavy radioactive contaminants? Some will say
kelp, some chlorella, some spirulina and some will say “Modifilan” because of its
multiple benefits (Modifilan is the one I like best). In any case, you can read the
book. It’s nothing special except information you need to know in cases like this. I
simply wrote it as an offering therefore I have to write to let you know it’s there
and you can send it to those who are worried or might need the info.
