Marianella Machado
College professor and composer

Julie, I would like you to know that your books, CD’s and handy-tips-to-use from the Wholesome Resources Newsletter have been extremely helpful to me.  Since I have no time to attend yoga sessions at the yoga schools in Kentucky, your books, Desktop Yoga and Yoga Meditations have been my only way to pr actice yoga.  I enjoy doing your yoga exercises because you present and explain them in a very clear and easy way to follow.

Your CD’s have also been very helpful to me. For example, Power of Presence CD has been a great way to control my physical stress as well as to enhance my meditation techniques.

Moreover, all of your handy-tips to use from the Wholesome Resources Newsletter are helping me to maintain an organized plan for improving my physical and mental health, because they make me focus my attention on what I need to do to feel better. I am looking forward to your new Mind-Body Wellness eBookCollection.

Dear Julie:  Thanks for sharing the DARE to Relax session with our staff.  I have received several positive comments about it, especially the “2- Hour Nap in 10-minutes” segment.

Our staff received several valuable tips on reducing stress and the consequences of stress at work and in our personal lives.  It was definitely time well spent.

Variety is the spice of life….and meditation, October 19, Milwaukee, WI

Yoga Meditations by Julie Lusk is a gem of a book – chock full of inspirational meditations for beginners as well as more seasoned practitioners. The variety here is nice   – everything from breathing meditations to chakra meditations. You don’t have to be a yoga student to utilize these as they are appropriate for anyone. As a yoga instructor, this book helps to bring more diversity to the meditations at the end of our classes. My students have been really enjoying them.

This book comes with a CD, which features some of the meditations in the book. It is a nice bonus.

Wonderful resource!, June 5, 2008

By Kathy Bingham (Los Angeles, California) –

Yoga Meditations is a wonderful book! I teach yoga and stress management at the college level and I use this book in both classes multiple times during the semester. The author Julie Lusk takes concepts that we as teachers study for years to understand (like the subtle anatomy or differing forms of meditation) and she explains them in a clear, concise and logical manner without oversimplifying them, but making the ideas accessible to teachers and students alike. She has invited other respected experts in mind-body techniques to contribute to the many guided exercises offered and the book also serves as a great resource guide.

Desktop Yoga ®

I’d give Desktop Yoga 6+ stars if I could!, October 23

Mandatory for office workers, July 23, 2003

Reviewer: A. Vegan (Ontario Canada) –

I think this book should be in every office drawer, especially for those of us who sit at computers all day long. This book really does what the title says, you can perform many yoga poses in your office no matter what you’re wearing. This short book covers breathing techniques, proper posture, quick yoga poses that can be done anywhere at any time. If you’re always feeling tired and stiff at work, pick up this book and try a few of the suggestions. I take a 10 minute “yoga time out” every hour and I find that I’m less sluggish and less stressed.

Desktop Yoga  is a God-send,
This is a wonderful resource that helps me get through every day at work. My headaches and neck aches are better since I started using the yoga stretches and breathing techniques. It has taught me how to powernap for relief  from feeling exhausted, and has given me lots of tips on how to cope with change, handle stress, and enjoy life more. A lot of helpful information is packed into the useful book. Thank you very much.

30 Scripts for Relaxation, Imagery & Inner Healing – Volumes One & Two

Volume 1

Finally! A comprehensive Imagery guide!, April 6

I use this book all the time., December 27
This is one of my favorite books because it is such a helpful resource to help me relax and benefit from guided visualization in incredible and powerful ways. Not only that, I use it all the time with my stress management, yoga and meditation clients. This book doesn’t get old.

Hurrah for Volume Two of 30 Scripts for Relaxation, Imagery
December 27, 2001
I am extremely pleased with this book and am now the proud owner of both volumes of this book. It is one of those books that I use all the time, which says a lot. It helps me personally and is a terrific resource when I teach stress management sessions.


Eye Exercises to Improve Vision

October 20, 2018 by Julie Lusk

Computer and device screens seem to torture your eyes causing them to become tired and dry in no time at all.  Poor lighting, glare, dry air, and constantly staring at the monitor all contribute to eye strain. yoga nidra's benefits
Chances are good that it’s hard to recognize how exhausted your eyes are until they feel tired and dry or your head aches. Here are a few preliminary steps you can take to avoid such strains:
  • If possible, adjust the screen colors so they aren’t too hard on your eyes; try soft colors for a nice change.
  • Avoid glare by choosing a place for your computer that doesn’t reflect windows or lights.  Remember to wipe your screen off regularly.
  • Remember to look away from your screen every fifteen minutes or so.  It’s too hard on your eyes to do such close work without a break.  Do it now!

Eye Movements

After a while, eye muscles tire out and it becomes harder to focus. To prevent this from happening, you can practice these eye movements. They will strengthen your eye muscles and eyesight and stimulate the brain.  Visual, auditory, and sensory perception can increase.  Do them sitting up, standing, or lying down.

Here’s How

  • Start doing the eye movements slowly and pick up the pace after you can do it smoothly without jerks.
  • Switch off by first paying more attention to the eye movements than to the visual effects.  Next, take a moment to focus on both ends of they eye stretch.
  • Remember to keep your head still as you do the eye movements.  Let your facial muscles relax as well.
First Variation:  Up and Down
  • With your head and neck evenly aligned and movement-free, look up as far as you can and try to see up and over your head.  Then look down as if you would like to see under your chin.  Keep doing this for about 15-20 times in a row.
  • Follow this by bringing your eyes back to center and blink them a couple of times.
  • Afterward, rest with your eyes closed and take several deep breaths.
  • Smile
Second Variation:   Side to Side 
  • This time look quickly to the right and try to see behind your ear, then rapidly look to the left and try to see behind your left ear.  Keep looking back and forth for 15-20 times.
  • When finished, bring your eyes back to center.
  • Blink a few times and rest them with your eyes closed.
  • Smile
Third Variation:   Eye Circles 
  • Keep your head still and look up.  Circle your eyes in a clockwise direction three times.
  • When finished, bring your eyes back to center and rest with closed eyes for a few breaths.
  • Circle your eyes in a counterclockwise direction three times.
  • Blink a few times and rest them with your eyes closed.
  • Smile
Palming will rest and relax your eyes, calm your nerves, and quiet your mind.  Your respiration will increase as long as you remember to breathe deeply and fully.
  • Rub your hands rapidly together with your palms and fingers touching.  Keep rubbing until you feel the generation of some heat and energy.
  • Next, rest your elbows on your desk.
  • Cup your hands and gently place them over your closed eyes (no glasses).  Let the warmth and darkness soothe your eyes.
  • Take several long and easy breaths as you imagine the tiredness being released with your out-breath, and energy and vitality returning with your in-breath.
  • Smile

Chidakasha: Quieting the Mind by Stilling the Eyes  Using the sense of sight is a very effective centering technique.  Doing so can have a beneficial effect on the brain as well.  Have you ever noticed that you can still see even with your eyes closed?  All that is needed is to try.  You might see it as darkness, designs, colors, spots, or a combination.  It does not matter.  What matters is passively focusing your attention on what is being seen and watching it as it changes.  Have fun watching whatever appears as it comes and goes on the inside screen of your closed eyelids.  This brings you into the moment and quickly settles down mental restlessness.  Yogis refer to watching this inner space of consciousness as Chidakasha.  ( Yoga Nidra for Complete Relaxation & Stress Relief, page 115)

Note: If somebody catches you doing this, be prepared to say something clever like, “Can’t a person even pray around here?” Your other option is to tell them what you’re doing and have them join in.
  • Notice the benefits and smile.
This one of the many exercises you can do while at your keyboard, in your car, or whenever you want to feel better.

How to do the Sa Ta Na Ma Meditation to Improve Memory

March 20, 2011 by Julie Lusk

Instructions on How to Do the Sa Ta Na Ma Meditation – Kirtan Kriya

  • Sit with a straight spine.
  • Mentally focus to the brow point.
  • Repeat Sa Ta Na Ma as follows with the finger movements pictured below
    • 2 minutes —  OUT LOUD
    • 2 minutes  —  WHISPER audibly
    • 4 minutes  —  SILENTLY.  Keep the hands moving
    • 2 minutes  —  WHISPER audibly
    • 2 minutes —  OUT LOUD
    • Sit quietly and listen inside for a few minutes.  Listen for the mantra internally and experience energy flowing in from the top of your head (crown chakra) and out through your brow (third eye chakra).
    • Either go about your day or go to sleep if it’s bed time.
    • Optional: 30 seconds: inhale deeply, raise the arms up in the air and vigorously shake the arms and fingers, involving the whole body and spine. Exhale.  Repeat 1 or 2 more time if you desire. This important part of the meditation helps move and release energy in the body.

Notes:

Why are mantras done out loud, whispering and silently and how does it help? When a mantra is spoken out loud, it primarily benefits the physical body.  When it’s whispered, it benefits our mental/emotional nature.  Our spiritual nature benefits from silent repetition.

If you experience memories of the past or thoughts about the future coming up in your mind. Simply notice them and release them with the mantra. This helps cleanse  the subconscious mind.

If emotions come up, you can also incorporate them in the chanting, i.e. if you feel frustration, then chant out the frustration.  Whatever you experience is okay. Don’t try to avoid, resist or control your experiences. Just notice what is happening and go through it. This is all part of the process.

SA – touch the thumbs to the index finger

Ta – touch the  thumbs to the middle finger

 

 

 

 

 

 

Na – touch the thumbs to the ring finger

Ma – touch the thumbs to the little fingers

 

 

 

 

 

 

Repeat the finger movements throughout the meditation.
