Oil pulling, Ayurveda, hamster wheels and testosterone.

March 11, 2010

I want to know who on earth ever said that life should be nothing more than a little puddle of stress and suffering. I want to know what his name was and where he is at! (I know that is not proper English, but it conveys the tone so well.)

People! Get off the hamster wheel, take a deep breath, close the eyes and enjoy what you find there. There IS something there.

When John Lennon sang "I'm just sittin' here, watching the wheels go round and round", was he talking about the hamster wheels that most of us are exhausting ourselves running on every day without ever arriving anywhere? That hamster wheel is action performed while not established in Being.

Oil pulling and Ayurveda

This morning I woke up, I meditated, and then I did something that is thoroughly pleasurable: while gently rebounding on my mini-trampoline, I swished Sesame Oil around in my mouth, back and forth between my teeth for about 15 minutes. This process of swishing oil around the mouth is called "oil pulling". Google it.But it just so happens that what we - in the West - call "oil pulling" is in fact an ancient health regimen belonging to Ayurveda, the Vedic science of health that dates back more than 5,000 years.

I was not born with strong gums and so I have to take special care of the health of my gums. Gum health is very important to the health of the entire body. Oil pulling is beneficial to the health of the gums and thus to the health of the body in general.

I dictated this entire page into my iPhone while laying on my side on the floor, while taking a coffee enema, which is done for the benefit of the liver, not the colon.

If you feel that this is "Too Much Information", you may be right. However I consider it my solemn duty in life to share every little bit of helpful advice I can muster!

Well, I would love to dictate some more into my iPhone, but right now I have to go. I'm super-excited because I'm having my deep cycle battery delivered to me today, as part of my vandwelling experiment.

I know. "Deep cycle batteries" is the sort of thing that only men get excited over. It's a testosterone thing.
