The Example of Potassium deficiencies are related with breathlessness, fatigue, insomnia and low blood sugar. Potassium is necessary for healthy heart muscles. Nuts and unrefined grains are good sources of potassium. Calcium is a natural sedative. Deficiencies can cause fatigue, nervousness and tension. Dairy products, eggs, almonds, and soybeans are rich sources of calcium. Magnesium is known as nature’s tranquillizer and is related with the avoidance of heart attack. Deficiencies may lead to excitability, irritability, anxiety and emotional disorders.

Magnesium is also essential for absorption of calcium and potassium and is founding many fruits, vegetables, seeds, dates and prunes.

The eye wasn’t made to be always focused on close objects. If your work requires that you stare at a computer screen all day long or if you watch a lot of television, stop from time to time to do a few eye exercises.

For example Ilchi Lee writes, roll your eyes in large circles in both directions; look over to each side as far as possible and then go from up to down; or scan an imaginary text on the wall from left to right; or look out the window as far as you can next the horizon then return to a point right in front of you and begin again.

In this way, you will avoid long-term eye problems; you will enlarge your inner space, and relax both your eyes and your mind.

Prof Ilchi Lee says investigate has shown that people whose diet is rich in potassium (vegetarians for example) are less likely than others to develop high blood pressure.

Calcium is also helpful. Fortunately, potassium and calcium are abundantly present in a large variety of foods. Fruits, vegetables, beans, fish, fowl and lean meats are full of potassium. Calcium is a little more restricted. Foods rich in calcium usually also contain large amounts of sodium and fat, which can boost blood pressure.

However, moderate amounts of milk are recommended, as well as yogurt, almonds, bananas, grapes, broccoli, potatoes, beans, tofu and sardines.

Ilchi Lee writes that without iron, there would be no hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin gives red corpuscles their color. And it is the hemoglobin that carries oxygen to all parts of the body.

If you lack iron, an insufficient supply of oxygen in your hemoglobin will produce sensations of fatigue, headaches and shortness of breath. Men don’t have to worry too much: most men have a reserve of iron stored in their body that could last 3 years! But women, because of the menstrual cycle, need twice as much iron as men.

And the amount is even higher for with child women. Vitamin C doubles the amount of iron the body absorbs: so it is a good idea to add a glass of tomato or orange or grapefruit juice to every meal. On the other hand, tea reduces the amount of iron absorbed by 50% and coffee by about 39%.

Ilchi Lee says did you know that sexual activity could keep you looking good as you age? Studies conducted in Sweden have shown that elderly people who have sexual partners have much more energy and a better memory than those who do not.

So don’t let your golden years deprive you of the pleasures of sex! Just forget about the obsession of having to “perform” – the final result is less significant than the inspiration itself.

Relaxed concentration is an absolute prerequisite to being able to feel the flow of Ki energy writes Ilchi Lee in his book. We usually tense up when we concentrate and let our thoughts wander without direction when we cease to concentrate. Therefore, relaxed concentration may sound like an oxymoron. However, only when we can direct our consciousness while maintaining a relaxed state of body and mind can we feel the flow of energy.

To feel the energy, we need to turn the focus of our consciousness inward. We must separate ourselves from our outer distractions, thoughts, and emotions. We call this process Ji-gam. The basic requirement for Ji-gam practice is determined concentration on the body here and now.

We begin Ji-gam training with our hands first because they are the most sensitive part of our body, allowing us to feel Ki energy most easily. When we are able to sense energy in our hands, it becomes easier to awaken this same sensitivity in other parts of the body, including the brain. Although the amount of time it takes to feel this energy for the first time varies from person to person, everyone will eventually succeed with enough practice.

These lines are copied from Ilchi Lee’s book. He writes that feel your eyes, ears, nose, and mouth attached to your head. Gently close your eyes. Your pupils will naturally point downward. Re>ax your eyelids. Feel the eyelids lightly covering your pupils, thin membranes like the wings of a dragonfly. Imagine there is another eye between your eyebrows. Imagine that this eye is open and looking at a light far off in the Distance.

Normally, we are not aware of our sensory organs. We rarely think of our senses as separate from ourselves. This is why we are tricked into thinking that the phenomena we perceive through our senses are the substance of reality. Try to feel your “sensory self.” Your “self,” with eyes, nose, ears, thoughts, and emotions, is sitting here like this. Who is this “I” sitting here?

We feel greater dignity and confidence as our sitting posture becomes stronger and more developed. One side of your body is placed firmly on the ground and the other side is opened toward heaven. Feel your own holiness when you body links Heaven and Earth as one, like a tree with solid roots sinking into the ground and a majestic trunk stretching toward the sky.

The Story of Tao Fellowship’s Sedona Mago Garden

Tao Fellowship mago garden

Tao Fellowship, a nonprofit organization dedicated to loving humanity and the Earth, has owned and operated the 160-acre Sedona Mago Garden since 1998. The land that Tao Fellowship – Mago Garden occupies has breathtaking natural beauty, healing energy from its 12 vortexes, and a harmonious Earth Village of facilities, staff and guests.
 
For the Native Americans tribes, the land in and around what is now called Sedona, Arizona, and Tao Fellowship – Mago Garden was considered to be sacred, full of ancient legends. These legends depict Sedona as a birthplace and center for a peaceful and harmonious culture for a new generation.

In accordance with the Native American vision for this land, Sedona is destined to be the origin of global-scale renaissance, as it initiates the 21st century spiritual culture. Thus is the extraordinary legacy of Tao Fellowship – Mago Garden.

In today’s world, an era of insatiable materialism has culminated in a deep sense of longing, as people are now seeking a “natural home,” where they can communicate with nature and feel the earth and the presence of her soul. Tao Fellowship – Mago Garden is such a place.

Because of the late Lester Levenson, a physicist and successful businessman, what is now Tao Fellowship – Mago Garden began its development in the 1960s. At age 42, he was diagnosed with a life-threatening disease and received a sentence of only three months to live. Instead of giving in to the fear of death, he accepted the challenge to overcome it. During three months of deep meditation, he let go of his inner limitations and found the answer to the question “Who am I?” Having realized the reality of existence beyond death and life, he lived to the age of 84.

Levenson shared his method called the Sedona Method with his many students. He would tell his students that this place, which is presently Tao Fellowship – Mago Garden, would one day be the hub of a global spiritual movement. He also told them that it would be used, as a precious place where a new era of earth-centered spiritual civilization would develop.

In 1996, two years after Lester Levenson’s death, Ilchi Lee, who came from South Korea, discovered this property during his search across the United States for a sacred site. While meditating on Bell Rock, he was visited several times by Lester Levenson and was told, “This land has been prepared to be a center for a global spiritual movement. So, carry out your mission on this land.” The result is the Tao Fellowship – Mago Garden.

For Lee, it was not an easy decision to purchase and manage a site surrounded by dessert. Yet, after one year, in 1997, despite many hardships, he purchased the land, and then donated it to Tao Fellowship. And so Tao Fellowship – Mago Garden was born.

As a place where people from all over the world can feel their connection to the earth, this land was named Mago, which means Mother Earth in many Asian cultures. Tao Fellowship – Mago Garden is the home of brain and health training courses, spiritual events, and renewing retreats.
