There are many places including towns and states that were named after Native American words or names. In fact, about 50% of the states were named using Native American words. Many of these places have names that we almost take for granted these days and most people are unaware of their Native American aboriginal origins. A partial list of some well known places in the United States and their Native American meanings are below. Alabama : from Choctaw word meaning "thicket clearers" or "vegetation gatherers" Alaska: from Aleut word meaning "great land" or "that which the sea breaks against" Chicago: from Algonquian word meaning "garlic field" Illinois: from Algonquian word meaning "tribe of superior...

There has been a bootleg recording circulating now for decades in yoga and meditation communities rumored to be of the Dalai Lama chanting for a dying friend. It came into my possession the way it comes to most people -- a yoga friend gave me a burned CD with the following written on it by hand: 'Dalai Lama's Chant to Heal All Illness: Please Distribute.' I immediately fell in love with this powerful chant, and the story that came with it was certainly compelling. Here's how it goes: The Dalai Lama had a friend who was dying, and His Holiness chanted this healing mantra at his bedside. His Holiness at first refused to allow it to be recorded, but then relented on the condition that it never be sold...

Many may have heard of the first resurrection, but do you really understand what it means. Do you realize that it is an honor to be apart of the first resurrection. Understand that the act of coming back to life after being dead is an resurrection. Lets see what the Bible says about the first resurrection. Look at the book of Daniel 12:2 it says Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and stars for ever and ever. But you, Daniel, close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge...

In a recent survey 30 percent of high school seniors reported that they had driven after heavy drinking (five or more drinks in a row) or knowingly rode in a vehicle with a friend who was drinking. What about the teens who had one, two, or three drinks? Certainly, those percentages are much higher. According to attorney Michael Monheit, Esq., "underage drinking and driving is a serious problem." "Of course, the media doesn't help when they exploit underage celebrities like Lindsay Lohan and her girlfriends who are out partying every night and smashing their Cadillac SUVs into poles and people," continues Monheit. Is Ms. Lohan an exception? Underage drinking is more common than you would think. What...

To rent or to sell? That is the question many homeowners face when contemplating the option of owning an income property. Before you decide to officially become a landlord, here are a few things to consider while you make your decision. The very first factor to evaluate is whether or not you can afford to own two properties. You may be able to refinance your old home or borrow against its equity in order to come up with a down payment on your new one.

Your spiritual growth is not a static event; it is an on-going process. Once you are locked into the process you begin to receive spirituality information through a variety of sources. Spirituality, as a concept, is not an external manifestation of our beliefs or an explanation of how we express ourselves in physical form. Spirituality is internal and eternal. Spirituality is our interconnectedness with all of life, the physical, the nonphysical and the metaphysical. It is an interconnectedness that begins by knowing who you really are and creating life from that point of awareness. Spirituality is life itself, revealing itself to you. Replace the word "life" in the last sentence with the word "God...

You've probably heard it before - the calming, tranquil sounds of New Age piano coming from a gift shop or stereo. There's something about music, especially New Age music that slows the heart rate down. Listening to this kind of music has many therapeutic effects, but did you know that you could also reduce stress by learning how to play in this style? It's true! And the good news is you don't need years of lessons to begin. All that is required is knowledge of a few chords and that's it! I've had students tell me that nothing relaxes them more than just sitting at the piano and playing what they feel. They aren't concerned with being perfect or "playing it right." They just want to relax, unwind...

In today's world, many people turn to the internet to find information about any subject that one may think about.

Over the past decade, the rise of the Internet has dramatically changed the availability and presentation of piano music. Free downloads of sheet music -- as well as audio recordings of piano performances -- are easy to find in abundance through a simple Web search.

As with a lot of technological change, this is neither a good thing nor a bad thing. It's just different. Today, conscientious adult piano players should have a basic understanding of the current state of sheet music publication, and where it is headed. After all, when we...

What do you get when you combine the popular Web 2.0 model of social networking (Facebook, Orkut, MySpace) with filmmaking? Social Filmmaking - The New Age Mashup.

Humans have been using hand tools since prehistoric times. The evolution from the primitive Stone Age tools to sophisticatedly engineered tools has changed the way we perform work today.

Even simple tools pose great hazards, and can cause severe injuries if not used or maintained properly. In order to reduce or eliminate these hazards, OSHA recommends that special attention should be paid toward hand and power tool safety. In this article, some basic precautions are discussed that can prevent common injuries...

When it comes to New Age piano music, I have a few favorites. In fact, there are really just 2 people that come to mind. And both of them have completely different styles. I'm speaking about George Winston and John Herberman. George Winston literally put New Age piano music on the map. Of course, there were other's before Winston who specialized in this genre (namely Steven Halpern) but it was Winston's album "December" that skyrocketed this style of piano playing into popular culture. To say that this music was and is different than what most people usually listen to is an understatement. And really, this kind of music shouldn't have been as popular as it was, but when this album came out in the...

Let's talk music! Let's talk podcasts! 1,000 songs, non-skip, digital quality, portability - the pencil thin iPod Nano is just the ticket. Jogging, walking or toughing it out on a treadmill life just got a whole lot easier with the addition of the rugged, little iPod that holds either 500 (2GB) or 1000 (4GB) songs. That's 14 hours of sounds that will go with you everywhere. So what do you do with all those sounds? I work two hours from home via the public bus and regional rail lines. I get up at 5:00AM, catch a 6:35AM train, after a jostling pushing bus-ride, coffee on the regional rails, then another jostling, jolting bus ride to get to work by 8AM. I couldn't do it without music - and I couldn't...

Patterns. That's an interesting word and one that applies well to music. There are patterns everywhere in music. Repeating patterns, note patterns, chord patterns etc. For New Age piano playing, a pattern that comes up frequently is a crossover technique for the left hand. The left plays a repeating pattern that uses more than an octave of the keyboard while the right plays melody notes, chords, etc. For example, in the lesson "Ocean Pacific," we have 4 chords to play with and the technique with which to play them - a repeating crossover pattern. Now, what's so great about this is that you have an aural background over which you may freely improvise your melodies. In essence, what is created is a...

We believe in a God, the Father of the universe, infinite and omnipotent. But if our soul at last becomes perfect, it also must become infinite. But there is no room for two infinite unconditional beings, and hence we believe in a Personal God, and we ourselves are He. These are the three stages which every religion has taken. First we see God in the far beyond,then we come nearer to Him and give Him omnipresence so that we live in Him; and at last we recognize that we are He. The idea of an objective God is not untrue -- in fact,every idea of God,and hence every religion, is true, as each is but a different stage in the journey, the aim of which is the perfect conception of the Vedas. Hence, too...
