The Ek Ong Kar Sat Gur Prasad mantra is a powerful and widely revered “Magic mantra.”

The mantra is said to contain the essence of the entire Sikh philosophy and is one of the most important mantras in the Sikh religion.

The first word, Ek, means “one” or “unity.” It represents the oneness of all things and the unity of the universe. This concept is central to Sikhism, which teaches that there is only one God and that all people are equal and connected.

The second word, Ong, is a primal sound that represents the divine creative energy. It is believed to be the sound that was present at the creation of the universe and is often used as a mantra in meditation practices.

The third word, Kar, means “creator” or “creation.” It represents the idea that the divine creative energy is constantly creating and sustaining the universe.

The fourth word, Sat, means “truth.” It represents the ultimate reality, which is beyond the limitations of the material world. It is the goal of spiritual seekers to realize this truth and merge with it.

The final word, Gur Prasad, means “by the grace of the guru.” It represents the idea that spiritual realization is only possible with the guidance and grace of a spiritual teacher or guru.

Together, the mantra can be translated as “There is one creative energy that creates all things. Truth is its name. It is by the grace of the guru that one can experience it.”

The mantra is composed of four distinct parts.

The first part of the mantra, “Ek Ong Kar,” is a reference to the One Universal Creator, which is believed to be present in all things. This part of the mantra is often referred to as the “Primal Sound” and is said to be the origin of all creation. Ek Ong Kar – I am one with all that is

The second part of the mantra, “Sat Gur,” refers to the true Guru, or spiritual teacher, who guides individuals on the path of spiritual awakening. The true Guru is believed to be the source of all knowledge and wisdom and is essential for spiritual growth and enlightenment. Sat Gur– True God

The third part of the mantra, “Prasad,” refers to the divine grace and blessings that come from living a life of spiritual purity and righteousness. It is believed that through the practice of meditation and the recitation of the mantra, individuals can attain a state of spiritual purity that will enable them to receive the blessings of the divine. Prasad– receive Divine Grace and Gifts/blessings

The fourth part of the mantra, “Jap,” is a call to action, urging individuals to recite the mantra and meditate on its meaning in order to achieve spiritual enlightenment and liberation.

This mantra is the only Kundalini mantra that comes with a warning.

Benefits of this powerful mantra:

 1) Enhances Concentration: The act of reciting the mantra and focusing on its meaning can help improve concentration and focus. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who struggle with distractions or have difficulty staying focused on a task.

K2 Helps with the mobilization of calcium in the body to the bones.

Why is this important?

Because when you have excess calcium in your arteries, joints, or other places can lead to serious problems. Vitamin K2, with the help of vitamin D3, could help extract this buildup of calcium and put it right into the bones to actually strengthen the bones.

Here are some of the many benefits of vitamin K2:

1. Improves insulin resistance
2. Increases insulin sensitivity
3. Suppresses inflammation
4. Decreases fat accumulation
5. Increases energy capacity (more energy before physical activity)
6. Increases testosterone
7. Help to Prevent Calcification
8. Helps Prevent Bone loss

• Cheese (gouda, munster, cream cheese
• Butter
• sour cream
• heavy cream
• Egg yolk
• liver (goose, chicken, beef)
• Pepperoni
• Salami
• Sausage
• Greens / Leafy Vegetables
• Fermented Foods like Natto or Sauerkraut

The reason why these are mostly animal products is that animals eat grass, which contains Vitamin K1 (which has to do with clotting), and then their body converts it into vitamin K2. The vitamin K2 that is found in natto and sauerkraut are formed by bacteria in the fermentation process.

Who Would Benefit from Vitamin K2?

• If you have a history of taking Antacids
• Antibiotics
• Statins
• Take D3 and/or Calcium
• Do You have GI Problems
• Menopause
• Heart Problems
• or are you Pregnant

Make sure to take K2 with fat. What I mean is if you want this supplement to work at its optimal level you need to have some sort of fat included.

Consuming with Eggs, Avocado, or MCT oil is fantastic.

An empty stomach is not good.

A full meal that includes fiber is not as good.

The key is you want to Either eat food high in K2 or take supplement K2 with a good source of fat.

K2 works well with D3

Hope this helps you understand a little better how your body uses Vitamin K.

Stop Worrying!
It is just negative visualization.

Some people think that they cannot visualize.

When I work with clients one of the biggest hurdles that they have to jump over is helping them understand that they can visualize.
They have just been visualizing the wrong things.
They’ve been visualizing everything that’s going wrong.
They have visualized a life they don’t want to have into existence.
The key of getting what you want is knowing what you want and focusing on that.
When you focus on what you don’t want that is what you’re going to get.
When you focus on what you do want that is what you’re going to get.

The way you know if you truly focused on what you want is because you will see the pictures in your head. They will manifest because you are telling yourself words which creates these pictures. Guess what, you are visualizing!

Is it the future you want or the future you don’t want?

It doesn’t matter you’ll get it either way.
So if you’re one who continually says that hypnosis, meditation, and affirmations, won’t work for you because you can’t visualize, I’m here to tell you you are wrong.

You have visualized the life that you are living right now!

The one of lack, the one of want, the one of not getting what you want.

AMPK or Adenosine Monophosphate-Activated Protein Kinase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in regulating metabolism and energy balance in the body. It acts as a sensor of cellular energy levels and is activated when energy levels are low, such as during exercise or fasting. The activation of AMPK leads to the inhibition of anabolic pathways, such as lipid and protein synthesis, and the stimulation of catabolic pathways, such as glucose uptake and fatty acid oxidation. In this blog, we will explore the connection between AMPK, metabolism, and insulin and discuss ways to activate AMPK.
