Need for meditation and yoga and other similar exercises
Most of us don't spend much time thinking about the material nature of human consciousness, but in any of above mentioned exercises consciousness is at the heart of the practice. According to insiders the so-called contents of our consciousness—perceptions, thoughts, emotions, memories, fantasies, even dreams—have a kind of material existence though naturally, the matter is a lot subtler than that of a tree or a rock. Furthermore, these contents are in constant fluctuation or constant whirling
While we can't physically touch these fluctuations of mind, we can easily experience them. Close your eyes and, for a few minutes, direct your awareness away from the outer world. If you're a contemplative person, you've probably done this many times before. It's possible to consciously step away from the contents of your mind and observe them more or less objectively at least briefly. Its like a movie.

Of course, even a trained mediator get swept up in the tumultuous movie again and again. That's because we don't simply have these fluctuations, we unconsciously identify ourselves with them—so closely that we become them and define ourselves through them. This is our big mistake. Because the contents of our consciousness are circumscribed in both time and space, we also believe ourselves to be cut off from all other creatures around us and from the world at large. This nagging inkling of impermanence, temporality, and alienation is a source of great existential sorrow, which taints everything we do. In fact, the contents of our minds are simply passing fancies, mere ripples on the surface of the ocean of our consciousness. Our thoughts and feelings are no more us than the waves are the ocean.

This raises a big question then, maybe the biggest: Who are we really? Ask yourself: In the little self-observation exercise above, who was observing the contents? According to different Gurus it's the true self, called the Seer , who is eternal, illimitable, unchanging, and perpetually joyful . The Seer or watcher is a light source, as it were, that shines on our world—including the contents of our mind, but is in no way affected by or attached to whatever happens in those worlds. It isn't hard to contact the watcher anytime you like. But maintaining this contact for more than a couple of minutes is a huge challenge, especially when going about your worldly business outside a formal meditation session.
But that's exactly what so many Gurus instruct us to do: permanently shift our identity orientation away from the contents and onto the Seer. the exercises we are offering help you to restrict the fluctuations of consciousness. Join us and try yourself

You may like Tai Chi
The Chinese Tai Chi Chuan stands for the 'Supreme Ultimate Force'. The notion of 'supreme ultimate' is often associated with the Chinese concept of yin-yang, the dynamic duality of male/female, active/passive, dark/light in all things. 'Force can be thought as the means or achieving this ying-yang, or 'supreme-ultimate' discipline.

Tai Chi can perhaps best be thought of as a moving form of yoga and meditation combined. There are a number of so- called forms which consist of a sequence of movements. Many of these movements are originally derived from the martial arts and more ancestrally than that, from the natural movements of animals and birds although the way they are performed is slowly, softly and gracefully with smooth and even transitions between them. For many practitioners the focus in doing them is not, first and foremost, martial, but as a meditative exercise for the body. For others the combat aspects of Tai Chi are of considerable interest. In Chinese philosophy and medicine there exists the concept of 'chi', a vital force that animates the body. One of the avowed aims is to foster the circulation of this 'chi' within the body, the belief being that by doing so the health and vitality of the person are enhanced. This 'chi' circulates in patterns that are close related to the nervous and vascular system and thus the notion is closely connected with that of the practice of acupuncture and other oriental healing arts.

Another aim of Tai Chi is to foster a calm and tranquil mind. Learning to do the exercises correctly provides a practical avenue for learning about such things as balance, alignment, fine-scale motor control, rhythm of movement, the genesis of movement from the body's vital center, and so on. Thus the practice of Tai Chi can in some measure contribute to being able to better stand, walk, move, run, etc. in other spheres of life as well. Many practitioners notice benefits in terms of correcting poor postural, alignment or movement patterns which can contribute to tension or injury. Furthermore the meditative nature of the exercises is calming and relaxing in and of itself.

In a two-person exercise called 'push-hands' Tai Chi principles are developed in terms of being sensitive to and responsive of another person's 'chi' or vital energy. It is also an opportunity to employ some of the martial aspects of Tai Chi in a kind of slow-tempo combat. Long-time practitioners of Tai Chi who are so-inclined can become very adept at martial arts. The emphasis in Tai Chi is on being able to channel potentially destructive energy away from one in a manner that will dissipate the energy or send it in a direction where it is no longer a danger.

The practical exercises of Tai Chi are also situated in a wider philosophical context of taoism. This is a reflective, mystical Chinese tradition first associated with the scholar and mystic Lao Tsu, an older contemporary of Confucius. He wrote and taught in the province of Honan in the 6th century B.C. and authored the seminal work of Taoism, the Tao Te Ching. As a philosophy, Taoism has many elements but fundamentally it espouses a calm, reflective and mystic view of the world steeped in the beauty and tranquillity of nature.

ETHICAL ISSUES FACED BY HOSPICE STAFF
Hospice is a team effort among a patient, family, significant others, physicians, and providers. In addition, there are a multitude of questions about how a person may die and the variety of treatments and technologies that are available. There is a great deal of room for ethical dilemmas as the hospice staff member interacts with the community surrounding the patient and deals with the needs and desires of a particular patient. In addition to patient-related concerns, a staff member may face ethical questions involving work-related circumstances.
Most questions arising are
Suicide, assisted suicide, and euthanasia
Working with patients who have been admitted without a do not save order
Whether or not to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on a patient who does not have a signed DNR order or an advance directive stating that the patient does not want CPR
Withdrawal or withholding of nutrition/hydration
Family decisions to “prolong dying” versus an incompetent patient’s previously expressed views
Patient autonomy versus patient safety and physical needs
The under diagnosing of potentially treatable problems
Confidentiality of AIDS patients versus safety of visitors and caregivers
Treating a patient on a ventilator
Removing a patient’s life support system
Conflicts with the patient’s family or significant others
Concern that the nursing home facility is not providing adequate care for the patient
Ethics of being judgmental or accepting
Religious objections regarding the treatment or lack of treatment given to a particular patient
Conflict over whether to follow a patient’s wish to be discharged from a hospice unit when the staff member feels that the primary caregiver is incompetent to take care of the patient
Family needs and nursing home placement
Pain medication—respiratory distress/consciousness—the question here being whether the pain is so great that it is necessary to adversely affect consciousness and cause some respiratory distress by the higher use of medications to suppress the pain. Is it better to control the pain or for the patient to be more alert?
Dealing with the request of a white patient to have no black staff caring for the patient at home
Deciding whether to honor a patient’s request for total palliative sedation for “existential” reasons (i.e., psychological distress or suffering rather than uncontrollable physical pain)
Suspecting that a patient or family caregiver is selling or sharing the medications provided by the hospice
Having to go into a neighborhood recognized as dangerous in order to provide home care for a patient
Being sexually harassed or sexually assaulted by a patient or family member
