OC Weekly reports: Mental Physix Want to DJ Your Yoga Class


OC Weekly is ...  
putting Mental Physix 
on OC's spiritual energy radar!

OC Weekly: http://blogs.ocweekly.com/heardmentality/2013/05/mental_physix_yoga_djs.php



Mental Physix is balance. Mental and physical. Yin and yang. Deep beats and yoga. The place between the paradox.





Mental Physix are a DJ duo made up of Crisanto Santa Ana and Dru Ali. Their mission? To explore the fusion of music and yoga to "create a divine union of healing, through self-realization and sound." Both Santa Ana and Ali perform at yoga studios while Vinyasa classes are going on, and the experience -- with both the yogis and the DJs feeding off each other's energies -- is intensely spiritual. Last month, Mental Physix took their Technic1200s on the road and toured yoga studios around California, Nevada, Colorado and Utah.
On Saturday, Mental Physix will be performing at the One Consciousness of Love and Light Festival (www.1ConsLoveLight.com) in Anaheim. The festival will feature meditation, dance performances, lots of yoga and healthy, organic food served throughout the day.
Why play live music for yoga?
Santa AnaMusic for yoga is unique. Certain tones and frequencies can enhance your practice and bring you to a certain level of vibratory frequency. Music during yoga can create calmness or raise the intensity of a practice. Yoga is like a dance, and we provide the soundtrack. Doing music for yoga also allows us to assist teachers in creating an amazing playlist -- freeing up the teachers time to focus more on their flows. Having a DJ present in the studio adds another exciting element, allowing the DJs, teachers, and students to exchange and feed off one one another's energy.
AliMusic adds depth to the practice and can help take you on a journey with the flow of the class.
How have people reacted to your music during classes? 
Santa Ana:
 The reception to our music has been amazing so far. We've been receiving great feedback both from teachers and students. This overwhelming support has motivated us to further our movement. 
Ali: One of the craziest things we've heard was that someone felt like they had an outer body experience by the end of the class!

The Chakras


Below is details of the colours of the chakras and how they work and what they do. 

There are 7 main chakras in the body 
starting from the top of the head 
and ending right at the bottom of the spine.

Let your 8th chakra - Aura
radiate the beautiful soul that you are.

We are Atma (soul) born for a human experience; 
we are not a human born for spiritual experience. ~ Yogi Bhajan

Chakra (in Sanskrit) = Wheel / Disk

Chakras in the body are centers of exchange between the psychic and physical dimensions.  Like transformer, they change subtle prana (life energy / breathe) into physical energy flowing through a system of "nadis" (psychic channels like the meridian system of Oriental medicine).  Chakras are energy vortexes perceived as spinning discs of light situated along the spine. 

Traditionally, there are 7 Chakras and Yogi Bhajan designated the Aura (electro-magnetic field) as the 8th.  When the chakras are opened the particular talents of each are assimilated and consolidated into the character and behavior of the person.

The chakras correlate to levels of consciousness, archetypal elements, developmental stages of life, colours, sounds and body functions.

DETOUR....to the sacred Joshua Tree Retreat Center!

Sat nam (the truth is my identity).  

Magic surrounded the Joshua Tree Retreat Center 
for the Sat Nam Fest West Festival this past weekend!


Our hearts were opened as we chanted with Snatam Kaur, Mirabai Ceiba, The GuruGanesha Band, Gurunam Singh, Jai-Jagdeesh, Simrit Kaur, Aykanna and Nirinjan Kaur.  Our souls were nourished & our spirits moved with Kundalini Yoga kriyas taught by Gurmukh, Guru Singh, Harijiwan, Krishna Kaur, Sat Siri and Akasha.







You have never learned that if you give time to the spirit & soul you can be more excellent than all the professions in the world. Because as all rivers come to the ocean, every profession seeks spiritual guidance. ~Yogi Bhajan











We sought spiritual guidance
 to flow with the present time... 


And we were blessed with this loving & uplifting community 
in this perfect time & space!

Ambrosial Thought to Start Your Day: What is your Reality?


Our modern lifestyle is changing its sense of time and space, relatedness, and relevancy.  Today, there are no secrets!  We are flooded with information.  

Through the Rabbit Hole... Lewis Carrol’s
Alice ADVENTURES in Wonderland
Information is not enough. Neither is knowledge. We need wisdom.

We are exposed to and use more sophisticated devices and software faster and faster.  This increased electronic technologies only brings us more information, more choices, more contacts, and more complexity.  

How are you coping with this widespread and added stress... fighting against this modern lifestyle, withdrawing, or fantasizing more? Or are you over-using caffeine and other stimulants (sugary foods, alcohol, drugs, overworking, energy drinks, high octane sports, loud music, etc)?
"Oh dear! Oh dear!
I shall be too late!"
says the Rabbit

In our technology-filled world, each of our actions can now be tracked regardless of appearances... every one of our money exchange, statement and behavior leaves a trail.  We are known by our actions.  Each action we take must be considered ecologically, and globally, because each person does affect, directly or indirectly, vast networks of people, and other living beings and places.  There is no isolation. 

This is an age of paradox-more global and more individual. with fewer boundaries and more demand for political separations.  Everything is faster and we have less time.  We need far more love and unity, for we have more fear and tremendous insecurity.

Complexity is increasing as is our need to deal with it!  Our sense of personal identity and its foundation is shifting.  Change and learning is continuous and life-long. We must maintain mental. emotional. and physical flexibility.

"I wonder if I shall fall fight through the earth!
How funny it'll seem to come out
among the people that walk
with their heads downwards!" say Alice
Learning is not enough. We must learn how to learn.

Intellect is not enough. We need a new relationship to intuition, emotion and instinct.

Your real value comes from truth embodied in practical actions and in the internal caliber and qualities of your mind and heart! 

 Keep up and you will be kept up. ~Yogi Bhajan

Express & accept your wholeness
with each committed action.  

Let your actions demonstrate wisdom!

Connect with your community &
celebrate with Music, Zumba & Yoga.

Russell Brand reports Alignment with Higher Entity (Self) to BEAM like the sun

You cannot define yourself in reference to other external coordinates, You must define yourself internally with a relationship with a higher entity. Think of yourself as a manifestation of some higher “thing," Some higher frequency, this is the visible realization. And you know thatbecause you can’t see atoms can you? You certainly can’t see the forces that hold atoms together.There in the micro quantum world Richard, Lies the answers to everything. We cant understand it with our logical rational minds, But we feel it, Intuitively. Get yourself in alignment with that stuff and you BEAM like the sun. ~ Russell Brand

One & Only Bruce Lee: Mixed Martial Arts Warrior, Teacher, Moral Philosopher & Hero



Bruce Lee, mixed martial arts warrior, 
teacher, moral philosopher & hero, 
could perform one hand push-ups 
using only his thumb & index finger,
performing 50 reps of one arm chin-ups and
throwing a single grain of rice in the air
and catching it with chop sticks!



Be formless, shapeless like water. Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle. You put water into a teapot, it becomes a teapot. Now water can flow, or it can crash! Be water my water. ~ Bruce Lee


Long before Steven Segal, Van Damme or the UFC, there was Bruce Lee...  

Bruce Lee had such rare mental and physical training, martial qualities, attack, and strategy because he developed his own style for a complete fighter; drawing from multiple martial arts (boxing, Muy Thai, Judo and even rudimentary Jiu Jitsu).  

Gaining respect and popularity for his Jeet Kune Do ("the way of the intercepting fist") martial arts style, he was also admired for his sharp mind, clarity & open vision, sheer discipline and care that he took with his daily life.  This great man was an expert at blending the heart, mind, and body.



To know oneself is to study oneself in action with another person.
If you want to understand the truth in martial arts,
to see any opponent clearly, you must throw away
the notion of styles or schools, prejudices,
likes and dislikes, and so forth.
Then, your mind will cease all conflict and
come to rest.
In this silence, you will see totally and freshly.
 ~
 Bruce Lee





Bruce Lee sought continuous spiritual growth,
mental clarity and emotional stability,
as well as mastering his body movements. 

Find your true essence, inner peace,
& be a spiritual warrior like Bruce Lee.

Come & celebrate an
union of heart, mind, body 

& community through 

Yoga, Zumba & music at

The Times of India reports "US President Barack Obama throws weight behind yoga"

April 1, 2013


US President Barack Obama throws weight behind yoga

WASHINGTON: The White House has wholeheartedly embraced Yoga as a worthy physical activity at a time some schools in America are railing against the ancient Indian practice, saying it promotes Hinduism.


The White House announced last week that President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama will include a 'yoga garden' for children and their parents who attend the traditional Easter Egg Roll festivities on Monday. "Come enjoy a session of yoga from professional instructors," the White House exhorted thousands of workaday Americans parents and their kids from across the country who will troop into the Presidential lawns, reminding participants that the event's theme is 'Be Healthy, Be Active, Be You!'

It is not the first time that Obama's residence has hosted a yoga garden for Easter, but this year's event is significant because of an ongoing lawsuit in California challenging the teaching of yoga in schools. In fact, the case came up for hearing in a San Diego courtroom on Thursday with a mirthful opening.

In an indication of how deep-rooted mainstream yoga has become in the US, it turned out that the presiding judge himself is a yoga practitioner. "Does anybody have a problem with that?" San Diego Superior Court Judge John Meyer was reported asking at the start of the case.

Dean Broyles, representing parents suing the Encinitas Union School District in a lawsuit that has gained international attention, said he was fine with Meyer presiding over the case if the judge can keep an open mind about the plaintiff's argument regarding spiritual connections to yoga, according to reports in the local media.

At the heart of the case is the argument by some parents that yoga is inherently religious, a contention most Americans, including the judge, seem to disagree with. Judge Meyer is reported to be a practitioner of Bikram Yoga, likening it to simple stretching exercises. "If you think there's something spiritual about what I do, that's news to me," he was quoted as saying.

The White House meanwhile is stretching every muscle and sinew to get Americans, including children, to get more concerned about the decline in the nation's overall well-being and its soaring healthcare bill. The drive is led by Michelle Obama, a health and fitness, and herself a yoga enthusiast.

The yoga garden is conducted by Leah Cullis, a certified yoga teacher who the White House reached out to in 2009 as soon when the Obamas came to office. Cullis, whose husband, event producer John Liipfert, handled Obama's Presidential inauguration, selects yoga instructors from all over the US to put parents and children through basic yoga drills.

"The mission of the event is to share ways where families and children can use simple tools for an active lifestyle — tools that require no props and no money and which they can go home and do it themselves," Cullis told TOI, speaking of her association with the White House initiative.



In fact, the White House has taken its yoga drive one step — or one stretch — further. It has now initiated a Presidential Active Lifestyle Award (PALA), a Obama White House Challenge designed to motivate Americans to make physical activity and healthy eating part of their everyday life. In embracing the practice, the White House also dismissed any specific religious connotation sought to be attached to yoga.

"Yoga has become a universal language of spiritual exercise in the United States, crossing many lines of religion and cultures," the White House said without any reference to the ongoing controversies and lawsuit. "Every day, millions of people practice yoga to improve their health and overall well-being. That's why we're encouraging everyone to take part in PALA, so show your support for yoga and answer the challenge."

Among the invitees for the White House Easter Monday festivities is Ajai Dhadwal, an Indian-American field hockey player, who had represented the US.
