Download or read book The Yoga of Marijuana written by Joan Bello and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2014-11-18 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is being presented in three parts. Although each section stands alone, yet they are all inextricably intertwined. The intention of the author is to furnish those for whom Marijuana is The Perennial Teacher with a decipherable experience of spiritual fulfillment as it is implemented in The Marijuana Consciousness. The Yoga of Marijuana gives the basic philosophical and historical underpinnings of The Science of Yoga, including the intentionally hidden, ancient and originating connection to The Marijuana Consciousness. The reason that the obvious synchronicity between these two paths has always been denied by the establishment will be explained as well as how and why the primordial Practice of Marijuana as an esoteric discipline is re-emerging with such power at this moment in time in this materialistic period of civilization. The book explains the enhancement toward the uncovering of consciousness that is not only a possibility through the Yoga of Marijuana but is, in fact, an ongoing, although little known, abiding reality. In addition, the work will clarify how Marijuana serves as proactive and perennial guide on the Path to Enlightenment as reflected in and precedent to Classical Yoga as it comes down to us from the primordial and secret Tantra. It is the aim of this introductory section to spark the interest of those for whom the Marijuana Consciousness is of utmost importance and to prepare the way for recognition and reception of The Yoga of Marijuana. Part II, The Tantra of Marijuana will present the origin and profound philosophy of the utterly misunderstood Tantric Path as it evolved from the primeval purity of the aboriginal mind. While the comprehensive tolerance and refined practices of Eastern Thought are progressive, profound and far reaching, Tantra is unquestionably the crowning pinnacle of its legacy. Interestingly enough, this prehistoric teaching is considered the most suitable Path to Enlightenment for the distracted mind of the present era, while Shiva, Lord of Bhang fits into the mix as the symbol of conscious pulsation of the universe, in keeping with the most advanced contemporary science. Part III, Marijuana and Yoga Practice will reveal the integration of the specific Yogic training with the underlying principle behind each practice for health and heightened awareness, mirrored in and originating from the subtle Benefits of Marijuana. The hope is for the three sequential parts to coalesce over time in both the cognitive and intuitional faculties and be internalized holographically as a unified reality

Download or read book The Lotus and the Bud written by Christopher S. Kilham and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-12-29 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An in-depth guide to blending the practice of yoga with cannabis • Examines the physical, mental, spiritual, and energetic effects of cannabis and yoga, including their effects on the nervous system and chakras • Explains how yoga practice offers a way to tune the human nervous system and how, through the endocannabinoid system, cannabis harmonizes a multitude of functions, from respiration to pain control, in ways that enhance yoga • Offers an illustrated sequence of cannabis-yoga asanas (postures) developed to awaken kundalini, open energy channels, accelerate healing, and unlock access to unbounded states of consciousness In India, both yoga and cannabis are considered gifts from the Hindu god Shiva. They are seen as twin currents of wisdom and enlightenment, allies for healing and consciousness expansion. As ethnobotanist and yogi Chris Kilham explains, when wisely and thoughtfully combined, cannabis and yoga offer profound benefits for body, mind, and spirit. Kilham examines the history and lore of both cannabis and yoga, with a special focus on the role of cannabis in Indian and Himalayan yoga traditions where it has been used for thousands of years. He investigates cannabis and yoga’s effects on the chakras and energy body and how they assist in opening energy channels and awakening kundalini energy. He explains how yoga practice offers a way to tune the human nervous system and how, through the endocannabinoid system, cannabis harmonizes a multitude of functions, from respiration to pain control, in ways that enhance yoga. He looks at the effects of both THC and CBD as well as the different methods of consuming cannabis, with advice on selecting the right method for your yoga practice. In addition to instructions for breathwork and cannabis meditation practices, Kilham offers an illustrated guide to his own system of cannabis yoga, a sequence of asanas (postures) developed to arouse the kundalini, open up energy channels throughout your body, and unlock access to unbounded states of consciousness. Sharing his experiences combining yoga and cannabis around the world, the author shows that the fusion of cannabis and yoga dissolves the boundaries of the mind, accelerates healing, and imparts a greater understanding of the intrinsic unity of all things.

Download or read book Cannabis in Spiritual Practice written by Will Johnson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-08-14 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the use of cannabis as a sacrament in spiritual practice • Provides instructions for using marijuana for the spiritual practices of spontaneous movement, ecstatic dance, sitting meditation, and gazing meditation, allowing you to open the body’s energies more fully and get closer to the Divine or your higher self • Includes a new translation of the Five Moral Precepts of Buddhism, adapted to include energetic practices and the judicious use of entheogenic substances as a legitimate support for spiritual growth • Includes access to 9 audio meditations With the end of marijuana prohibition on the horizon, people are now openly seeking a spiritual path that embraces the benefits of cannabis. Drawing upon his decades of experience as a teacher of Buddhism, breathing, yoga, and embodied spirituality, Will Johnson examines Eastern spiritual perspectives on marijuana and offers specific guidelines and exercises for integrating cannabis into spiritual practice. The author explains how the great Hindu god Shiva enjoyed consuming bhang, a marijuana mixture that would cause his body to make spontaneous movements. From these cannabis-inspired movements, Shiva brought the body-focused practices of dance and yoga to the world. Examining the spiritual path of Shiva, including the Sadhu tradition, Johnson provides specific instructions and protocols for using marijuana as a sacrament as Shiva did. He explores how to embrace cannabis for the practices of spontaneous movement, ecstatic dance, sitting meditation, and gazing meditation. He reveals how the ecstatic surrender to the feeling energies of the body in these practices is enhanced through the ingestion of Shiva’s herb, allowing you to open the body’s energies more fully and get closer to the Divine or your higher self. Exploring the Buddhist practices of calming the mind and grounding yourself in sensory awareness, Johnson shows that, while traditional Buddhist teachings forbid the use of intoxicating substances, Buddhists who use cannabis are not committing a cardinal sin--in following our dharma, we must embrace what best supports our spiritual practice. He concludes with a new translation of the Five Moral Precepts of Buddhism--what he calls the Five Precepts of Embodied Responsibility--adapted to include energetic practices using breath, interaction with the energies of nature, sacred sex, and the judicious use of entheogenic substances, such as cannabis, as legitimate support for spiritual growth.

Download or read book Medical Marijuana written by Mikhail Kogan, M.D. and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2023-03-07 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential guide to understanding the health benefits of marijuana and CBD Marijuana has been used for thousands of years as a medicine, but pot has been illegal in the United States for most of our lives. Almost all states have now legalized its medical use, and many consumers and physicians are exploring it as an alternative to conventional treatments. There’s substantial evidence that marijuana (cannabis) is a safe and effective treatment for chronic pain, chemo side effects, sleep and mood disorders, MS, and Parkinson’s disease, among others. But there’s also misinformation about marijuana on social media. And most physicians have limited knowledge on the subject, while dispensary staff (aka “budtenders”) lack medical training. Mikhail Kogan, MD, a renowned expert on medical marijuana, has found that cannabinoids (THC, CBD, hemp, and other cannabis products) can often be more beneficial, have fewer side effects, and be safer than many conventional medications, including opioids and other painkillers. But different ailments require different strains, doses, and routes of delivery. Medical Marijuana demystifies marijuana and other forms of cannabis in a user-friendly guide that will help readers: • Understand how marijuana morphed from the days of “Reefer Madness” to being hailed as a wonder weed • Navigate the complex medical and legal world of marijuana • Understand the risks and benefits of THC, CBD, and other cannabis products • Evaluate the pros and cons of inhaled and other routes of delivery: edibles, topicals, and even suppositories • Find a doctor who can recommend medical cannabis • Choose a reliable dispensary • Learn how to evaluate labels on cannabis products • Discover cost-saving strategies since medical marijuana isn’t covered by health insurance With real-life patients’ stories woven throughout the book, simple explanatory graphics, and the most up-to-date information, this is the definitive guide to the wide-ranging benefits of medical marijuana and other forms of cannabis.

Book excerpt: This presentation integrates the beginnings of the global marijuana movement to its present state of medical acceptance and reveals the ancient, evolutionary potential of the Cannabis Sativa Plant. The irresistible magnetism of millions to the marijuana consciousness,despite all obstacles,is viewed as an innate, incessant yearning for the reality that reaches to the spirit. Introduction to The Yoga of Marijuana describes the evolutionary path that is sensed as a beckoning backward to a possible previous encounter that registers as timeless and is recognized as inexplicably recurrent. The mysterious attraction of so many world citizens to the experience of marijuana is actually a predictable and intuitive survival response to the imbalance of the culture. The knowledge is almost always intentionally hidden, but re-emerges onto the public sphere in times of great distress. The Yoga of Marijuana is an unbroken tradition, perennially passed down through the annals of recorded time. Although it is a practice that is older than antiquity and almost always concealed from the exoteric circle of superficial life, nevertheless, the undercurrent of meaning is and has always been there for those who are perpetually drawn to it. This is knowledge for everyone interested in understanding the momentum of the marijuana movement, the determination of its advocates and the significance of its promise. Introduction to the Yoga of Marijuana is just a peek into te extensive secret knowledge that will be unvieled with the completion of author's major work: The Yoga of Marijuana. The introduction stands on its own and is specifically presented to serve the seeker and curious alike in preparation for appreciating the full extent of the lost knowledge.

Book excerpt: In this book the author, an investigative journalist, traces the social history of marijuana from its origins to its emergence in the 1960s as a defining force in an ongoing culture war. He describes how the illicit marijuana subculture overcame government opposition and morphed into a multibillion-dollar industry. In 1996, Californians voted to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes. Similar laws have followed in several other states, but not without antagonistic responses from federal, state, and local law enforcement. The author draws attention to underreported scientific breakthroughs that are reshaping the therapeutic landscape: medical researchers have developed promising treatments for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, chronic pain, and many other conditions that are beyond the reach of conventional cures.

Book excerpt: A poignantly funny account of renowned writer and humorist Neal Pollack's years as a marijuana addict. Beginning innocently enough in his 20s, Neal Pollack discovers that pot makes everything—food, music, sex—better. Getting married, having a kid, and enjoying professional success do nothing to dampen Pollack's enthusiasm for getting high. As cannabis grows stronger and more widely available, the expansion and acceptance of marijuana Big Business shadows Pollack's dependence. By 2014, Neal is a correspondent for a national marijuana newspaper, mostly because it means free pot. Diving into the wild, wicked world of weed with both lungs, Pollack proceeds to smoke, vape, and eat his way to oblivion, leading to public meltdowns and other embarrassing behavior. After his mother dies in 2017, he spirals out of control, finally hitting bottom during a reckless two-day gambling and drug-filled binge, culminating in a public crack-up at the World Series in Dodger Stadium. Three weeks later, he quits. After joining a twelve-step program, Neal outs himself as a marijuana addict in a 2018 New York Times op-ed piece, leading to his decision to document his experience as a cautionary tale for the millions of recreational users in the hazy age of legalized weed.
