The Benefits of Inversion
Don’t just cover up symptoms; target the source of your ache! Teeter Inversion Tables have helped millions like you find natural relief in the convenience of their own homes, and takes only a few minutes a day!
RELIEVE BACK PAIN
Unlike surgery, mechanical traction, and other invasive forms of treatment, using a Teeter is a gentle, passive way to target pain at the source and care for all weight-bearing joints. This progressive form of traction allows each joint to be decompressed by the same weight that compresses it while upright.
To put it simply, inverted decompression creates an ideal stretch that improves spinal health and targets back pain by helping to:
1. Rehydrate discs
2. Reduce nerve pressure
3. Realign the spine
4. Relax tense muscles
The benefits extend beyond just spinal health and pain relief though, also helping to:
5. Ease stress
6. Improve joint health
7. Increase flexibility
8. Improve fitness & build core strength
Best of all, decompressing on a Teeter takes only a few minutes and feels great!
1) Rehydrate discs
Clinical studies show that when inverted the separation between the vertebrae increases, this allows for absorption of moisture into the soft tissue of the discs, increasing the nutrient content as well as plumping the discs for better shock absorption and flexibility.
When you are sitting, standing, exercising, or doing other weight-bearing activities, fluid is squeezed out of your discs and into adjacent soft tissue, just as moisture can be squeezed out of a sponge. As a result, your discs lose some of their height. To prove this fact, measure yourself in the morning and then again at night. You will lose half-an-inch to three-fourths-of-an-inch in height by the end of the day.
When you are lying down the compression in the spine is reduced enough to allow the discs to slowly reabsorb moisture and nutrition over the many hours you sleep. However, the discs may not always maintain their full height capacity, creating a total accumulation of height loss of up to two inches in a lifetime.
The Nachemson study provides some insight: A number of volunteers permitted a pressure sensor to be surgically implanted inside the third lumbar disc. The pressure inside the disc in the standing position was set at a baseline of 100% and all other body positions compared to it.
Interestingly one of the most compressive activities for the discs is sitting. The muscles in the stomach and back relax, but the pressure in the spine increases. If you are sitting in poor posture the pressure in the lumbar can climb as high as 250%. The real surprise occurred while lying down. The pressure inside the disc only lost 75% of standing body weight – it never went below 25%! This residual compression seems to be due to the hundreds of ligaments and muscles that encase the spine, holding it in compression like a mass of rubber bands.
This study further indicated that the amount of traction force required to overcome the compression was a large number, approximately 60% of your body weight. Inversion to an angle of about 60 degrees is the only practical way to offset that much gravity force while remaining relaxed.
2) Reduce nerve pressure
The height of the discs relates to the size of the passageway for the nerve roots to exit from the spinal column, so a plump hydrated disc creates maximum clearance, helping to alleviate pressure or pinching of the nerve root.
A bundle of nerves called the spinal cord run through the spinal column; these nerves control communication from the brain to the rest of the body. Nerve roots exit between the vertebrae along the length of the spine in the passageway created by the discs. Damage to the discs or de-hydration/degeneration of the discs can result in nerve root entrapment, or what is commonly called a pinched nerve.
Since the nerves extend into the body there can be pain that radiates to extremities. Through the increased hydration to the discs during inversion the discs plump in height, effectively increasing the separation between the vertebra and reducing the pressure and pinching on nerve roots.
3) Realign the spine
So many of our daily activities lend themselves to misalignment and possible permanent postural changes; sitting at the computer with rounded shoulders, carrying a heavy bag always on one shoulder, even wearing high heels.
Also, many of our most popular sports are one-sided and rotational, like golf, squash, tennis, which puts significant stress on the spine as well as develops muscles on a single side of the body.
Misalignment means that the body weight is no longer supported by an alignment of bones, and therefore the soft tissue of the body must resist gravity.
Misalignment is not always felt on the inside but left alone it can cause visual changes to your posture, and those changes can be degenerative. If you want to test this at home, take an empty aluminum can and place pressure on the top. The can will be able to maintain its shape even with great force applied because the sides are in alignment, but add a small dent to the can and it will crumble under half the amount of pressure.
When a vertebra is bumped out of alignment the ligaments and muscles that support the spine can hold it in misalignment through the compression that they generate. Since these ligaments and muscles are engaged even when lying down, creating pressure as much as 25% compared to 100% standing, it can be difficult for the spine to naturally come back into alignment.
When inverted to 60 degrees the pressure in the spine drops to zero, as shown in the Nachemson medical study, with the pressure off of the vertebrae and with some gentle stretching the vertebra has the opportunity to move back into alignment.
4) Relax tense muscles
Muscles are gently stretched as circulation is increased, helping to reduce tension.
A study conducted by physiotherapist L.J. Nosse found that EMG activity (a measure of muscle tension), declined over 35% within 10-seconds of inversion, the effect was found to start at the very shallow angle of 25 degrees.
It is suggested that the stretch to the muscles while inverted allowed the circulation to enter the sore muscle, bringing oxygen-rich blood inversion therapy also stimulated the lymph system to clear the muscle of the toxin build-up. The user, therefore, would feel a decrease in pain and the stiffness in the muscle would subside.
Want to learn more about Teeter Inversion Tables? Take this FREE guide with you!
Free Guide to Back Pain Relief
Why are so many people recommending inversion tables to relieve stubborn back pain? What does hanging upside down do for your body that other methods don't? If you haven't tried inversion therapy for yourself yet, then you probably have a lot of questions.
That's why we created this in-depth guide to give you all the information you need to feel confident in your decision to try an inversion table and experience life without back pain.
5) Ease Stress
Stress and tension can cause pain and muscle spasms in the back, neck, and shoulders, as well as headaches and other problems. Tense muscles can be attributed to misalignments of the spine, overstimulation of nerves, or poor removal of toxins by the lymphatic system and a lack of oxygen-rich circulation.
Dr. John E. Sarno, of the New York Institute for Rehabilitation Medicine, claims that in more than 90% of the patients that he sees for back pain either there is no structural abnormality or the ‘abnormal’ x-ray does not really explain the nature or location of the pain. He calls the disorder the ‘tension myositis syndrome’ and describes how the tension causes muscle pain in this way: The muscle tenses and this reduces blood flow in the muscles of the neck, shoulders, back, or the buttocks. This produces pain by allowing the accumulation of waste chemicals, much the same process that causes leg muscle fatigue after a long run because of lactic acid build up. When the muscles go into spasm in the lower back, it often leads you to believe (mistakenly) you have a disc problem.
Also, for centuries yoga practitioners have recognized the concept of turning the body upside down to find relaxation. The headstand position is a form of “postural exchange” (reversing the direction of gravity). Not everyone wants to do headstands, so inversion on Teeter equipment creates an easier alternative with the added benefit of joint decompression.
6) Improve Joint Health
Decompression aids in joint lubrication by altering the pressure and suction forces within the joint, helping to stimulate the synovial fluid that nourishes the cartilage and enhances shock absorption.
Mobilization and gentle loading of ligaments can help to increase the collagen content of the tissue, which results in increased ligament strength.
Strong ligaments and muscles are vital for proper joint support, and help to protect against injury. Even the Army has utilized Teeter EZ-Up Gravity Boots to mitigate joint fatigue injuries.
Just as you brush your teeth every day to maintain your dental health, you should attend to the health of your spine with a healthy routine. There is no miracle for back pain; pills to cover up pain do not address the issue, and surgery is a last resort option.
Teeter is an affordable, natural, and easy-to-use piece of equipment that is backed by medical studies and endorsed by millions of people just like you.
7) Increase Flexibility
Tight muscles or stiff joints can also cause imbalances, which can result in improper body mechanics and an increased likelihood of injury. Using a Teeter provides a natural stretch that gently elongates muscles and decompresses joints, enhancing muscle efficiency, and improving mobility and flexibility.
During a normal day, your joints and especially discs will lose fluid, resulting in the temporary height loss mentioned above. With the bones now closer together the range of movement is reduced. Inversion has shown to increase intervertebral separation as it reduces the pressure on the discs and helps them to re-hydrate to restore shock absorption and flexibility.
Muscles adapt to bad posture. For example, with slouching shoulders, the muscles in the chest shorten and those in the back lengthen. At some point, it feels strange to stand properly. Inversion helps realign the spine and stretch the shortened muscles, many users report that they stand ‘taller’ and straighter after just a short inversion session.
8) Improve fitness & build core strength
Strong abdominals, internal and external obliques, and lower back muscles are vital for proper support of the torso. Crunches or sit-ups on Teeter inversion tables is a challenging way to develop and define the core muscles.
Most training activities designed to build core strength must be performed with great technical accuracy or they can injure the back. Inverted exercises can target every core muscle without adding risky, compressive loads to the spine.
Inverted squats on the Teeter inversion tables provide a unique leg workout, strengthening the hamstrings and quads while sculpting the glutes.
Learn more about the benefits of using a Teeter Inversion Table to prepare the body for a workout, to renew and recover after a workout, and to improve overall health.
The Teeter is so easy to use…
- Set it to your height, secure your ankles and relax. Weight displacement caused by simple arm movements give you total control over the speed and degree of rotation. Optional use of EZ-Angle rotation control allows you to pre-set maximum angle of rotation.
- Benefits start at the gentle angle of 20 degrees. Over time, work up to at least 60 degrees, where the pressure is reduced to zero and decompression happens in just minutes.
- Invert regularly! It only takes a few minutes to decompress the spine, and the stretch feels great and relaxes tired muscles. Use the Teeter several times a day to achieve maximum results.

1.) Have a meeting with your relationship partner with no distractions and phones turned off or put away for at least a half hour.
2.) Both of you get a pen and pad and sit facing each other but far away from each other whereas you cannot see what each other is writing. 3.) From a scale from 1 - 10, 1 is toxic and you are breaking up and 10 is the ideal relationship. Both of you rate your relationship on paper with a number from 1 - 10 without either of you showing and / or verbalizing the number to your partner. 4.) Then both of you list all of the ways you and your partner can make your relationship a 10 again without either of you showing your partner what you are writing. 5.) Switch papers with your partner. Now the real discussion begins. In many instances it usually plays out like a bargaining situation like for example; if you stop, start, increase and / or decrease a particular activity, communication, etc. that I like or do not like what are you willing to do and / or not do in exchange to move the relationship closer to being a 10?

Creating powerful health part 1 & 2
Dr Richard Schulze helps people heal diseases and create powerful health naturally.
What should we expect out of most people to be healthy (basic standards to health)
What’s going in your mouth? Nutrition - builds the flesh, what we are made of. Fresh and organic vegan foods are best. Animal foods have been directly targeted with cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, heart disease, and cancer. Animal foods are 100% related to our highest death rate. The heart can’t handle thick blood. Brest cancer and prostate cancer is related to animal hormones + fat.
(Watermelons that are refrigerated in stores lose all their nutrition compared to fresh watermelons. Fruits and vegetables need to be fresh. Preferably not refrigerated and consumed fresh daily.
We need to stop taking in the things that destroy us and implement super foods that create powerful health. We need to keep our blood thin. Eat no meat, no seafood, no eggs and no diary therefore you will have no heart disease, no high blood pressure, no strokes and no cancer in the body.
“If you rest, you rust” we have to move our bodies more, we need circulation [exercise, deep breathing of fresh air, etc.] for optimal health.
Prevention is key. Use herbs, live vegan foods, fresh juices, smoothies and at least 64 ounces of pure water daily to prevent illness. -
We have to do natural healing ourselves, on ourselves. We need to heal ourselves. The first step to healing is taking on the responsibility of healing ourselves.
The skin is the largest elimination organ, when the kidneys, bowels or liver isn’t properly eliminating toxins/bacterial - the skin will be required to step in to better assist releasing toxins. This can most of the time create skin issues. Kidney and bladder detox needed.
Do not allow doctors to do any damage with their diagnosis.
There is nothing wrong with being selfish, self-centered and self-involved in a positive healthy manner. We need to take care of ourselves first before we can take care and love anyone else.
The most alkalizing thing you can do for your body is love yourself.
Do not expect divine energy to flow in your body if you don’t eat like it.

What should we expect out of most people to be healthy (basic standards to health)
What’s going in your mouth? Nutrition - builds the flesh, what we are made of. Fresh and organic vegan foods are best. Animal foods have been directly targeted with cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, heart disease, and cancer. Animal foods are 100% related to our highest death rate. The heart can’t handle thick blood. Brest cancer and prostate cancer is related to animal hormones + fat. Watermelons that are refrigerated in stores lose all their nutrition compared to fresh watermelons. Fruits and vegetables need to be fresh. Preferably not refrigerated and consumed fresh daily. We need to stop taking in the things that destroy us and implement super foods that create powerful health. We need to keep our blood thin. Eat no meat, no seafood, no eggs and no diary therefore you will have no heart disease, no high blood pressure, no strokes and no cancer in the body. “If you rest, you rust” we have to move our bodies more, we need circulation [exercise, deep breathing of fresh air, etc.] for optimal health. Prevention is key. Use herbs, live vegan foods, fresh juices, smoothies and at least 64 ounces of pure water daily to prevent illness. We have to do natural healing ourselves, on ourselves. We need to heal ourselves. The first step to healing is taking on the responsibility of healing ourselves. The skin is the largest elimination organ, when the kidneys, bowels or liver isn’t properly eliminating toxins/bacterial - the skin will be required to step in to better assist releasing toxins. This can most of the time create skin issues. Kidney and bladder detox needed. Do not allow doctors to do any damage with their diagnosis. There is nothing wrong with being selfish, self-centered and self-involved in a positive healthy manner. We need to take care of ourselves first before we can take care and love anyone else.The most alkalizing thing you can do for your body is love yourself.
Do not expect divine energy to flow in your body if you don’t eat like it.

Kwanzaa celebrated December 26 to January 1 Related to Pan-Africanism
Kwanzaa (/ˈkwɑːn.zə/) is an annual celebration of African-American culture that is held from December 26 to January 1, culminating in a communal feast called Karamu, usually held on the 6th day.[1] It was created by Maulana Karenga, based on African harvest festival traditions from various parts of Africa, including West and Southeast Africa. Kwanzaa was first celebrated in 1966.
History and etymology
American Maulana Karenga created Kwanzaa in 1966 during the aftermath of the Watts riots[2] as a specifically African-American holiday.[3][4] Karenga said his goal was to "give blacks an alternative to the existing holiday [of Christmas] and give blacks an opportunity to celebrate themselves and their history, rather than simply imitate the practice of the dominant society."[5] For Karenga, a major figure in the Black Power movement of the 1960s and 1970s, the creation of such holidays also underscored the essential premise that "you must have a cultural revolution before the violent revolution. The cultural revolution gives identity, purpose, and direction."
According to Karenga, the name Kwanzaa derives from the Swahili phrase matunda ya kwanza, meaning "first fruits". First fruits festivals exist in Southern Africa, celebrated in December/January with the southern solstice, and Karenga was partly inspired by an account he read of the Zulu festival Umkhosi Wokweshwama. It was decided to spell the holiday's name with an additional "a" so that it would have a symbolic seven letters.
Principles and symbols
Kwanzaa celebrates what its founder called the seven principles of Kwanzaa, or Nguzo Saba (originally Nguzu Saba – the seven principles of African Heritage). They were developed in 1965, a year before Kwanzaa itself. These seven principles comprise Kawaida, a Swahili word meaning "common". Each of the seven days of Kwanzaa is dedicated to one of the following principles, as follows:
Umoja (Unity): To strive for and to maintain unity in the family, community, nation, and race.
Kujichagulia (Self-Determination): To define and name ourselves, as well as to create and speak for ourselves.
Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility): To build and maintain our community together and make our brothers' and sisters' problems our problems and to solve them together.
Ujamaa (Cooperative economics): To build and maintain our own stores, shops, and other businesses and to profit from them together.
Nia (Purpose): To make our collective vocation the building and developing of our community in order to restore our people to their traditional greatness.
Kuumba (Creativity): To do always as much as we can, in the way we can, in order to leave our community more beautiful and beneficial than we inherited it.
Imani (Faith): To believe with all our hearts in our people, our parents, our teachers, our leaders, and the righteousness and victory of our struggle.
Kwanzaa celebratory symbols include a mat (Mkeka) on which other symbols are placed: a Kinara (candle holder for seven candlesticks), Mishumaa Saba (seven candles), mazao (crops), Mahindi (corn), a Kikombe cha Umoja (unity cup) for commemorating and giving shukrani (thanks) to African Ancestors, and Zawadi (gifts). Supplemental representations include a Nguzo Saba poster, the black, red, and green bendera (flag), and African books and artworks – all to represent values and concepts reflective of African culture and contribution to community building and reinforcement. Ears of corn represent the children celebrating and corn may be part of the holiday meal.
Observances
Families celebrating Kwanzaa decorate their households with objects of art, colorful African cloth such as kente, especially the wearing of kaftans by women, and fresh fruits that represent African idealism. It is customary to include children in Kwanzaa ceremonies and to give respect and gratitude to ancestors. Libations are shared, generally with a common chalice, Kikombe cha Umoja, passed around to all celebrants. Non-African Americans also celebrate Kwanzaa. The holiday greeting is "Joyous Kwanzaa".
A Kwanzaa ceremony may include drumming and musical selections, libations, a reading of the African Pledge and the Principles of Blackness, reflection on the Pan-African colors, a discussion of the African principle of the day or a chapter in African history, a candle-lighting ritual, artistic performance, and, finally, a feast of faith (Karamu Ya Imani). The greeting for each day of Kwanzaa is Habari Gani?, which is Swahili for "How are you?"
At first, observers of Kwanzaa avoided the mixing of the holiday or its symbols, values, and practice with other holidays, as doing so would violate the principle of kujichagulia (self-determination) and thus violate the integrity of the holiday, which is partially intended as a reclamation of important African values. Today, some African American families celebrate Kwanzaa along with Christmas and New Year.
Cultural exhibitions include the Spirit of Kwanzaa, an annual celebration held at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts featuring interpretive dance, African dance, song and poetry.

Christmas, Christian festival celebrating the birth of Jesus. The English term Christmas (“mass on Christ’s day”) is of fairly recent origin. The earlier term Yule may have derived from the Germanic jōl or the Anglo-Saxon geōl, which referred to the feast of the winter solstice. The corresponding terms in other languages—Navidad in Spanish, Natale in Italian, Noël in French—all probably denote nativity. The German word Weihnachten denotes “hallowed night.” Since the early 20th century, Christmas has also been a secular family holiday, observed by Christians and non-Christians alike, devoid of Christian elements, and marked by an increasingly elaborate exchange of gifts. In this secular Christmas celebration, a mythical figure named Santa Claus plays the pivotal role. Christmas is celebrated on Friday, December 25, 2020.

Origin And Development
The early Christian community distinguished between the identification of the date of Jesus’ birth and the liturgical celebration of that event. The actual observance of the day of Jesus’ birth was long in coming. In particular, during the first two centuries of Christianity there was strong opposition to recognizing birthdays of martyrs or, for that matter, of Jesus. Numerous Church Fathers offered sarcastic comments about the pagan custom of celebrating birthdays when, in fact, saints and martyrs should be honoured on the days of their martyrdom—their true “birthdays,” from the church’s perspective.

The precise origin of assigning December 25 as the birth date of Jesus is unclear. The New Testament provides no clues in this regard. December 25 was first identified as the date of Jesus’ birth by Sextus Julius Africanus in 221 and later became the universally accepted date. One widespread explanation of the origin of this date is that December 25 was the Christianizing of the dies solis invicti nati (“day of the birth of the unconquered sun”), a popular holiday in the Roman Empire that celebrated the winter solstice as a symbol of the resurgence of the sun, the casting away of winter and the heralding of the rebirth of spring and summer. Indeed, after December 25 had become widely accepted as the date of Jesus’ birth, Christian writers frequently made the connection between the rebirth of the sun and the birth of the Son. One of the difficulties with this view is that it suggests a nonchalant willingness on the part of the Christian church to appropriate a pagan festival when the early church was so intent on distinguishing itself categorically from pagan beliefs and practices.
A second view suggests that December 25 became the date of Jesus’ birth by a priori reasoning that identified the spring equinox as the date of the creation of the world and the fourth day of creation, when the light was created, as the day of Jesus’ conception (i.e., March 25). December 25, nine months later, then became the date of Jesus’ birth. For a long time the celebration of Jesus’ birth was observed in conjunction with his baptism, celebrated January 6.

Christmas began to be widely celebrated with a specific liturgy in the 9th century but did not attain the liturgical importance of either Good Friday or Easter, the other two major Christian holidays. Roman Catholic churches celebrate the first Christmas mass at midnight, and Protestant churches have increasingly held Christmas candlelight services late on the evening of December 24. A special service of “lessons and carols” intertwines Christmas carols with Scripture readings narrating salvation history from the Fall in the Garden of Eden to the coming of Christ. The service, inaugurated by E.W. Benson and adopted at the University of Cambridge, has become widely popular.

None of the contemporary Christmas customs have their origin in theological or liturgical affirmations, and most are of fairly recent date. The Renaissance humanist Sebastian Brant recorded, in Das Narrenschiff (1494; The Ship of Fools), the custom of placing branches of fir trees in houses. Even though there is some uncertainty about the precise date and origin of the tradition of the Christmas tree, it appears that fir trees decorated with apples were first known in Strasbourg in 1605. The first use of candles on such trees is recorded by a Silesian duchess in 1611. The Advent wreath—made of fir branches, with four candles denoting the four Sundays of the Advent season—is of even more recent origin, especially in North America. The custom, which began in the 19th century but had roots in the 16th, originally involved a fir wreath with 24 candles (the 24 days before Christmas, starting December 1), but the awkwardness of having so many candles on the wreath reduced the number to four. An analogous custom is the Advent calendar, which provides 24 openings, one to be opened each day beginning December 1. According to tradition, the calendar was created in the 19th century by a Munich housewife who tired of having to answer endlessly when Christmas would come. The first commercial calendars were printed in Germany in 1851. The intense preparation for Christmas that is part of the commercialization of the holiday has blurred the traditional liturgical distinction between Advent and the Christmas season, as can be seen by the placement of Christmas trees in sanctuaries well before December 25.

Toward the end of the 18th century the practice of giving gifts to family members became well established. Theologically, the feast day reminded Christians of God’s gift of Jesus to humankind even as the coming of the Wise Men, or Magi, to Bethlehem suggested that Christmas was somehow related to giving gifts. The practice of giving gifts, which goes back to the 15th century, contributed to the view that Christmas was a secular holiday focused on family and friends. This was one reason why Puritans in Old and New England opposed the celebration of Christmas and in both England and America succeeded in banning its observance.
The tradition of celebrating Christmas as a secular family holiday is splendidly illustrated by a number of English “Christmas” carols such as “Here We Come A-Wassailing” or “Deck the Halls.” It can also be seen in the practice of sending Christmas cards, which began in England in the 19th century. Moreover, in countries such as Austria and Germany, the connection between the Christian festival and the family holiday is made by identifying the Christ Child as the giver of gifts to the family. In some European countries, St. Nicholas appears on his feast day (December 6) bringing modest gifts of candy and other gifts to children. In North America the pre-Christmas role of the Christian saint Nicholas was transformed, under the influence of the poem “A Visit from St. Nicholas” (or “ ’Twas the Night Before Christmas”), into the increasingly central role of Santa Claus as the source of Christmas gifts for the family. While both name and attire—a version of the traditional dress of bishop—of Santa Claus reveal his Christian roots, and his role of querying children about their past behaviour replicates that of St. Nicholas, he is seen as a secular figure. In Australia, where people attend open-air concerts of Christmas carols and have their Christmas dinner on the beach, Santa Claus wears red swimming trunks as well as a white beard.

In most European countries, gifts are exchanged on Christmas Eve, December 24, in keeping with the notion that the baby Jesus was born on the night of the 24th. The morning of December 25, however, has become the time for the exchange of gifts in North America. In 17th- and 18th-century Europe the modest exchange of gifts took place in the early hours of the 25th when the family returned home from the Christmas mass. When the evening of the 24th became the time for the exchange of gifts, the Christmas mass was set into the late afternoon of that day. In North America the centrality of the morning of the 25th of December as the time for the family to open presents has led, with the exception of Catholic and some Lutheran and Episcopal churches, to the virtual end of holding church services on that day, a striking illustration of the way societal customs influence liturgical practices.
Given the importance of Christmas as one of the major Christian feast days, most European countries observe, under Christian influence, December 26 as a second Christmas holiday. This practice recalls the ancient Christian liturgical notion that the celebration of Christmas, as well as that of Easter and of Pentecost, should last the entire week. The weeklong observance, however, was successively reduced to Christmas day and a single additional holiday on December 26.
Contemporary Customs In Eastern And Oriental Orthodoxy
Eastern Orthodox churches honor Christmas on December 25. However, for those that continue to use the Julian calendar for their liturgical observances, this date corresponds to January 7 on the Gregorian calendar. The churches of the Oriental Orthodox communion celebrate Christmas variously. For example, in Armenia, the first country to adopt Christianity as its official religion, the church uses its own calendar; the Armenian Apostolic Church honours January 6 as Christmas. In Ethiopia, where Christianity has had a home ever since the 4th century, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church celebrates Christmas on January 7. Most of the churches of the Syriac Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East celebrate Christmas on December 25; at the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, however, the Syriac Orthodox celebrate Christmas on January 6 with the Armenian Apostolic Church. Congregations of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria follow the date of December 25 on the Julian calendar, which corresponds to Khiak 29 on the ancient Coptic calendar.
Contemporary Customs In Other Areas
With the spread of Christianity beyond Europe and North America, the celebration of Christmas was transferred to societies throughout the non-Western world. In many of these countries, Christians are not the majority population, and, therefore, the religious holiday has not become a cultural holiday. Christmas customs in these societies thus often echo Western traditions because the people were exposed to Christianity as a religion and cultural artifact of the West.
In South and Central America, unique religious and secular traditions mark the Christmas celebration. In Mexico, on days leading up to Christmas, the search of Mary and Joseph for a place to stay is reenacted, and children try to break a piñata filled with toys and candy. Christmas is a great summer festival in Brazil, including picnics, fireworks, and other festivities as well as a solemn procession of priests to the church to celebrate midnight mass.
In some parts of India the evergreen Christmas tree is replaced by the mango tree or the bamboo tree, and houses are decorated with mango leaves and paper stars. Christmas largely remains a Christian holiday and is otherwise not widely observed.
Japan serves as illustration of a different sort. In that predominantly Shintō and Buddhist country, the secular aspects of the holiday—Christmas trees and decorations, even the singing of Christmas songs such as “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” or “White Christmas”—are widely observed instead of the religious aspects

The distraction fit, lost in a shaft of sunlight,
The wild thyme unseen, or the winter lightning
Or the waterfall, or music heard so deeply
That it is not heard at all, but you are the music.
–T.S Elliot
For the past forty years, Westerners have been rediscovering the power of sound healing.
Sound has been a primary method of healing used by various cultures for thousands of years. In South America, we call sound healing “Icaros,” which is primarily done through songs and chants to dispel illness. In India, sacred Mantras are used to induce deep meditative states. In fact, the discovery that sound is a powerful healer was understood all the way back in Ancient Greece when Pythagoras uncovered the power of vibration to heal.
Tibetan singing bowls, tuning forks, crystal bowls, drumming and vocal “toning” are just some examples of sound being used to heal emotional and physical illness. Using sound has been proven over and over again to be a powerful way to restore harmony to the body.
A Short History of Sound Healing
The mythologies and ancient stories of many cultures illustrate that matter and life originally formed through sounds and words, e.g. from the Christian God’s utterance “Let there be light,” to the Celtic belief in the “Òran mór” or the “Great Melody of Life” which encapsulates everything in life.
When I chant songs and play instruments I know that sound serves as a funnel of “light” or a direction that guides the healing process through conscious awareness.
In Shamanism we use music and dance to set aside the ego, to become spacious so that Spirit may work through us. To create this open space, traditionally we must sing and dance for hours, to the point of exhaustion so that our “mental chatter” quietens down before we begin any journeying or healing work.
Using vibrations and frequencies through sound, we can help blocked energy from past experiences of soul loss move toward the energetic filtration system of each chakra, so that the stuck energy can be recycled back into our life force. The use of sound healing can provide positive results for a variety of issues including:
- Sleep disorders
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Stress management
- PTSD
- Pain management
How You Can Harness the Power of Sound Healing
There are a number of ways to start incorporating sound healing into your life.
You may wish to fill your life and sanctuary with the mysterious sounds of soul-stirring music. World, classical, and ambient music are all examples of musical genres that help us awaken to other worlds, unblock old wounds, and arouses deep emotions that help you to access your truth.
One of the deepest benefits you can gain from performing sound healing on yourself is something the Buddhists call “impermanence.”
Impermanence is the understanding and experience that life is constantly changing; nothing is “permanent” or stays static. Impermanence is really something that has to be experienced, in the moment, to be appreciated. When everything is understood as impermanent, greater wisdom, peace, and lovingkindness is unlocked within us.
Engaging with your own sound healing instruments each day also allows you to enter a state of “flow” in which you can truly absorb yourself into the moment. This absorption makes us aware of the absence of separation between ourselves and existence; the underlying silence beneath every sound, that eternal nothingness that is pregnant with the possibility, and that the only true constant in life is change.
Any instrument can help us to access meditative states of healing. However, the following sound healing instruments have been used throughout the ages to embody these teachings:
1. Himalayan Singing Bowls
Singing bowls are perhaps the most popular sound healing instrument out there. Singing bowls are most commonly used in yoga, personal rituals, sound therapy practices, and religious ceremonies. In the Buddhist tradition, they are played to signal the beginning and the end of silent meditation cycles; like a bridge back and forth between internal and external conscious realms.
You can purchase your own authentic singing bowl here.
2. Tibetan Tingsha Cymbals
These cymbals create a hauntingly beautiful sound, especially during chanting. Tibetan Buddhism has much of its history rooted in shamanism, and due to this, Tingsha cymbals are often used in ritual practice to establish harmony with the nature spirits of the environment. You will often hear Tingsha cymbals during tantric offering rituals as well.
You can get Tingsha Cymbals here.
3. Tibetan Meditation Gong
In Buddhism, the gong is sounded at the start and end of each day. In Chinese temples, gongs are struck 108 times because it’s believed that sentient beings have 108 types of worries. This practice is based on the philosophy that upon hearing the gong, a person’s worries will cease and wisdom will grow.
Nothing has the ability to transport one to another time and place like the powerful resonance of a gong. Gongs were traditionally sounded to chase away evil spirits, warn of invading armies, heal the sick and invoke the spirits of the dead.
These days, the gong’s deeply reverberating sound helps to awaken the mind and instill full-body peace.

4. Dorje Meditation Bell
The purpose of this bell is to awaken you to the present moment. You can hit the bell with a wooden mallet, or you can simply ring it. Appropriately, “Dorje” means thunderbolt in Tibetan because it’s like a shock of electricity that surges into your consciousness in order to quiet the mind.
This bell is also sometimes described as a diamond scepter and is a sacred symbol of wisdom. People use it in meditation, holding it in one hand in a mudra position. The bell and dorje together represent feminine (bell) and masculine (dorje).
You can get dorje bells phere.
5. Bell Wind Chimes
Although not technically an instrument, in Buddhism wind chimes and wind bells have played a significant role in various rituals and were thought to attract peaceful spirits while protecting against evil forces.
The chimes were hung in large numbers on temples, shrines, pagodas, and caves causing one to awaken to the beauty of the present moment during breezes. Wind chimes are one of my favorite ways to spontaneously feel a sense of connection to nature and life.
You can buy beautiful sounding wind chimes here.
Using Sound Healing Instruments
It can be hard to maintain a state of mindful awareness when our being is divided in concentration and our present moments are interrupted constantly by thoughts and worries.
A simple technique I would like to recommend is called “toning.”
Toning is when you vocalize a vowel (a, e, i, o, u) and hold the vibration of it. While sitting in silence and playing or listening to one of the above sound healing instruments, begin vocalizing a vowel and allow the sound of it to flow into next vowel while keeping the reverberation of the sound lingering on.
If you’ve ever heard the chanting of the familiar Om or Aum Mantras, you will know what I mean. You can even use one of those two Mantras if you prefer that to the vowel sounds.
Inner Child Journal:
Go on a journey through the mountains and caves of your heart. Befriend, heal, and nurture the broken child within. Go to the root of your pain and transform old patterns. This is intense and powerful work!
Try this toning exercise and observe how it affects your state of consciousness and physical well-being. By doing so you’re combing the healing of both light (of consciousness awareness) and sound (vibration).
***
Few people truly understand the power of that constitutes each and every Soul.
We think that when we feel the vibrations and harmonies of beautiful instruments like bowls, drums, bells, or flutes it is through our ears. The reality is that we hear the sounds with our ears, but we feel the music with our Souls.
