When asked what 3 things he
would like people to know about gratitude, top researcher, Robert
Emmons, said: “First, the practice of gratitude can increase
happiness levels by around 25%. Second, this is not hard to
achieve–a few hours writing a gratitude journal over 3 weeks can
create an effect that lasts 6 months if not more. Third, that
cultivating gratitude brings other health effects, such as longer
and better quality sleep time”.[1]
First, 25% happier? Who doesn’t want that? Second, we can see lasting results in only a few weeks? And third, we’ll not only be happier–we’ll be healthier
too? If this is true (and it is), then we would be crazy NOT to
practice gratitude! Hopefully these reasons, as well as those I outlined
in my recent post, “10 Benefits of Practicing Gratitude,” are enough to inspire you to give it a try!
Before You Get Started: What You Need to Know
Before you implement a gratitude practice, there are a few things you should know that might help:
1) Remember, the goal is to activelypractice gratitude, not just wait around to feel grateful (more on this in “10 Benefits of Practicing Gratitude”).
2) Studies show, the best way to make gratitude a habit is to spice
it up with different types of gratitude practice. Choose two, three, or
all of the exercises below to get you started. They’re all beneficial,
so choose those that most resonate with you, and feel free to “mix it
up”. The best gratitude practice for you is the one you will stick with!
3) It doesn’t matter exactly how often you practice
gratitude; what matters is that you do it routinely. Every day, once a
week, three times a week–whatever works for you, just stick with it and
keep it consistent. You can even set a goal for how long your
gratitude practice will continue. In 2008, I practiced gratitude for my
“yearly theme” (my alternative to New Year’s Resolutions). For one full
year, my focus was to simply be more grateful each and every day. It was
one of my favorite personal goals of all time, and most of the
practices I started during my “year of gratitude” I still practice
today!
Now that you have the three “rules,” check out the list of ideas below. Then, pick one and get started. Don’t delay–start today!
No
longer the sole province of the hemp-swathed sprouting enthusiast,
meditation’s popularity has exploded across our collective faces. Tech companies have embraced mindfulness meditation as
the ultimate productivity. Google has “mindful lunches,” complete with
prayer bells and hour-long vows of silence. And as legitimate meditation
researchers uncover more benefits to our brains, our bodies, and our
psyches, diehard rationalists have been forced to accept the scientific
merits of mindfulness.
My explanation for why interest in
meditation has grown is that it’s a replacement for the nature in which
we no longer reside. For hundreds of thousands of years, we spent our
days in natural settings where much of the mind chatter stops and we
exist in the present moment. The falling leaves sparkling overhead with
sunlight. The herky-jerk scamper of a startled lizard just off the
trail. The erratic brilliant butterfly fluttering through the scene that
you can’t help but stop to watch. That was life for most of human
history. It wasn’t special. It was home. It’s what we knew.
Meditation represents a return to that ancestral state of presence in the moment. And yet I get the sense that more people are talking about meditation than actually meditating on a regular basis. I’m one of them, quick to recommend meditation on MDA
because of the irrefutable benefits but unable to actually sit for a
productive session, let alone a regular meditation routine. It’s hard.
It’s unnatural. And it’s an artifice, albeit one made necessary by our
environment.
Meditation has been shown to provide remarkable benefits to those who manage to stick with it, including but not limited to:
If we simply don’t enjoy meditation or can’t make it work, what options do we have?
How can we get some of those attractive effects of meditation without
actually sitting in a room for 30 minutes a day, every day? Here are 15
alternatives:
Recently
we are experiencing an intensive amount of solar activity on the Sun
which is affecting both the Earth and Humans. Solar flares can affect
the Central Nervous System, all brain activity, along with human
behaviour and all psycho-physiological (mental-emotional-physical)
response.
A solar flare is a magnetic storm on the
Sun which appears to be a very bright spot and a gaseous surface
eruption such as in the above photograph. Solar flares release huge
amounts of high-energy particles and gases that are tremendously hot.
They are ejected thousands of miles from the surface of the Sun.
According
to Mitch Battros – Earth Changes Media, “One of the best known
prophecies/predictions of our Mayan elders is the message of a changing
paradigm of our era. In the words of the Maya, it is said that we are
now in a time of “change and conflict”. The change is coming from the
‘outside” in the way of weather, natural phenomena, celestial
disturbance (sun flares) and manmade self-inflicted trauma. The
conflict comes from the ‘inside’ in the way of personal challenge,
grief, bewilderment, depression, anxiety, and fear. It is said we are
“at the cross roads”. A time of choosing a new path, deciding on a new
self and community direction, venturing into the unknown, finding our
true identity of being. Others will choose to stay on the same road,
stay with the familiar, and place great effort to maintain
“predictability.”
A recent study published in the New
Scientist, indicates a direct connection between the Sun’s solar storms
and human biological effect. The conduit which facilitates the charged
particles from the Sun to human disturbance is the very same conduit
which steers Earth’s weather through the Magnetic Field on Earth, and
also through the magnetic fields around humans.
Geomagnetic Activity on the Sun Influences our Thoughts
Solar
flares can cause us to be nervous, anxiousness, worrisome, jittery,
dizzy, shaky, irritable, lethargic, exhausted, have short term memory
problems and heart palpitations, feel nauseous, queasy, and to have
prolonged head pressure and headaches. Do you have any of the above
lately?
The past weeks' incidents are clear evidence that the
light is permeating the collective consciousness as our world is seeing
the power of people who are unified in purpose. In Earth's field of
potential, the unstoppable momentum of this exhilarating energy is
hastening the day when our world is free from every form of suppression,
oppression and deprivation.
The solar flares and photon waves are
changing the fabric of our physical reality as they have a powerful
effect on our physical cellular level, causing our cellular memories to
awaken and clear. We often experience this as the body heating up in
the form of “hot flashes.” Our lower emotions are low frequency energy
stored in our cells from past experiences and traumas that we have
encountered and never processed —so they become stored as cellular
memories. Photon energy is a much higher frequency energy that pulls up
the lower emotional frequency so it can calibrate to the higher
frequency.... thus we find ourselves releasing these lower emotions of
sadness and grief without knowing why. These spells will last for
about twenty minutes and we are left wondering where these feelings came
from out of the blue. The elements of our blueprint are interfaced in
the cellular consciousness and when the blueprint is amplified through
photon energies various elements of the blueprint leak into your
consciousness and we begin to remember our soul’s purpose. We are pulled
to make changes in our life but we don’t really realize why.
The
solar flares, the galactic bursts of energy are surging through this
shield of hypnotizing electronic frequencies, activating certain aspects
of the DNA codes. These cosmic energy thrusts are a wake up call to
humanity. The earth's magnetic field holds the higher integrity of the
hologame in place. This is being overridden by the electronic fields.

Gratitude
changes you. It changes the cells in your body and makes you flexible
and young. It neutralizes anger. Most people aren't aware that
depression is the result of turning your anger inward; turning it upon
yourself. Most people also don't realize that much of their anger comes
from their sense of being denied something they insist upon having;
whether that is an object, a world view, someone's attention or their
right of way on the way to whatever it is that they want or wherever it
is they wish to be. Gratitude makes all of that unnecessary.

I have always preferred to think of myself as quick-witted. But, since I have spent the past couple of years taking a good look
at myself, I have to be honest and admit, what I really am, is snarky. I
love sarcasm. And those of us who do, do not often have the most
optimistic outlook on life. I know I will never be a complete Little Ms.
Sunshine, but I have been working on at least being a bit less dark.
So,
when I saw that many of my friends had created “Gratitude Jars” at the
start of the New Year, I joined in and created my own. What exactly is a
gratitude jar? Basically it’s a jar (or basket or container) that you
fill with notes, thoughts, and scribbles about something that you are
thankful or grateful for. Some people add something on a daily basis,
some do it randomly, and some add things when they are having an
especially hard time.
You can be as elaborate or as simple as you
want, going as far as decorating your own jar, to doing what I did and
re-purposing a jar that had been gifted to me filled with seed packets.
As for reviewing your gratitude s, this also is entirely up to you. Some
people do it at the end of the year, some involve their whole family
and read some at Thanksgiving, and others, like me, read them when they
are having a really tough day.

Grounding
is a new buzz word for many of us who have learned the importance of
connecting with Mother Earth. But have we thought much about the
importance of grounding to our companion dogs? In a new book entitled, PALEO DOG, Give Your Best Friend a Long Life, Healthy Weight and Freedom from Illness by Nurturing his Inner Wolf,
my writing partner Jean Hofve, DVM and I discuss the significance of
grounding behind what we might take for granted: the daily walking of
our dogs.
We all used to walk barefoot upon our Mother Earth every day. Both
humans and their animal companions were in constant contact with the
earth until they moved in with us and joined us in our modern twenty
first century way of living. Now most of us are missing that direct
contact and the wonders of the planet’s magnetic field. It is almost as
if we are living on the moon today, because our buildings, our shoes,
our cars, our furniture, everything keeps us separate from feeling the
dirt, grass, rocks, and sand beneath our toes and paws! Whether we know
it or not, we all have a powerful need for this contact, because we are
bioelectrical beings living on an electrical planet.
The relationship between inflammation and disease has finally been recognized and been brought to public attention. Free radicals, which cause and perpetuate inflammation,
are everywhere. The media, every health food store, pharmacy and
grocery store sells nature’s best free radical fighters in the form of
antioxidants along with natural forms of anti-inflammatories such as marine lipids.
Inflammation was previously considered to be the body’s urgent
response to injury and infection and acute, normal inflammation is
exactly that. But researchers today are concerned with chronic
inflammation, and/or oxidative stress, which is now known to be an
underlying cause of most common health disorders in both people and
their companion animals, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes,
and degenerative conditions like arthritis and cognitive decline
(senility). But what, besides providing specific supplements and feeding
a healthy diet, can we do about it for what my writing partner and I
refer to as our Paleo Dogs? The answer is not that difficult, because we
live right on the surface of what may be the biggest anti-inflammatory
device ever conceived: Mother Earth herself. It is the Earth’s surface
that provides the magnetic field that we were designed to walk upon.

“The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.” – Carl Jung
Pretend I’m an enlightened Yogi-Zen Master sitting high on a jagged,
wind-blasted, unforgiving mountain. You’ve traveled through hell and
brimstone to reach the top. The path was filled with a plethora of
trials and tribulations. You’re now exhausted, covered in sweat, and
seeking only one thing: wisdom.
Imagine me illuminated,
meditating, glowing like a fractal-Buddha. My wrinkles, my long gray
beard and my wise eyes staring down the improbable universe that
surrounds us. You are taken aback, astonished by my vibrant,
thunderously quiet energy. You’ve come for answers. And though you’re
skeptical, your curiosity trumps your doubt.
The stories you’ve
heard about me could no longer be ignored. And so you ascended the
mountain, and now you’re standing in front of me, nearly out of breath,
and you ask: “Oh wise master, how do I conquer fear, guilt, shame, and attachment?
I
look down at you from my precarious stone perch, eyes blazing with
thousand-year-old wisdom. Moments go by without a word. The silence is
deafening. Finally you can take it no longer, “What,” you plead, “what is the answer?”
I open my mouth as if to speak. More moments go by. Seconds pass as if in infinities. Then, finally, I say only four words: Let yourself be worthy.
That’s right! You want to conquer fear, guilt, shame, attachment? Let
yourself be worthy. You want to break mental paradigms and stretch
comfort zones? Let yourself be worthy.
You want to think outside
of boxes and hijack evolution into revealing its secrets? Let yourself
be worthy. You want to discover love and recondition preconditions? Let
yourself be worthy. You want to usurp thrones, burn down high-horses,
and change the world? Let yourself be worthy. The irony is that you just
climbed a MOUNTAIN! That very act was an act of self-worth. I mean, the
very act of climbing that mountain was an act of conquering fear, and
letting go of guilt, shame, and attachment.

Spiritual Reality - The Journey Within
Realidad espiritual - El camino al interior
Meditation is the journey of our consciousness towards our inner Self.
La
meditación es el camino de nuestra conciencia hacia el Sí mismo.
Sleep is unconscious Meditation and Meditation is conscious sleep.
El
sueño es inconsciente Meditación y Meditación es el sueño consciente.
In sleep we get limited energy in sleep we get abundant Energy with Meditation.
Recibimos
una cierta cantidad de energía cósmica en el sueño y en profundo
silencio. Recibimos la Energía Cósmica abundante en la Meditación.
In meditation we consciously travel from:
La meditación es el camino de nuestra conciencia desde:
Body to mind. Mind to intelect, Intelect to Self and beyond.
Cuerpo a la mente, la mente de intelecto, Intelecto a la auto ... y más allá.
If I could share 500 words to inspire, this is the important wisdom I'd want to pass along to others...
What does it take to be inspired today, when
stress is all around us due to the economy, environment, war and more?
To me, it is about being truly grateful on a daily basis and, sometimes a
minute-by-minute basis, on those days when you feel you just can’t take
one more step. Everywhere we turn, there is continued devastation.
Every minute, there is a child raped, a person murdered, a rainforest
dying, an iceberg melting.
But what if we looked at everything, good, bad, or indifferent, and
saw the magic? What if we saw things from a different perspective and
knew that every experience was a gift to help us reach nirvana in our
lifetime? What if we were able to see that, through the dark, we see the
light?
I know that most of us already live by these principles, but what
about when life is so overwhelming that we accidentally slip back into
old, negative ways of thinking and doing. It causes me to pause and
remember what we have in this precious life, is to usher in the light,
come together as a community, lift each other up and simply love one
another as unconditionally as humanly possible; so that we can share the
essence of our enlightenment.
To see at the end of a flood that devastates a water-front town,
there is a droplet of water on a leaf that sparkles in the sun and a
whole new universe is opened. Or at the end of a fire that destroys a
forest, there is a chance for a new forest to grow. Or, when Mother
Earth shakes so hard that a village crumbles to ground, it gives us the
opportunity to come together for those who have survived.
Planting
Peace is a progressive nonprofit organization founded by Aaron Jackson
and John Dieubon in 2004 for the purpose of spreading peace in a hurting
world. Although our organization operates on a global level, we
emphasize the power of one; the ability that each person possesses to
make a difference in the world.
We have a variety of projects
ranging from large-scale international efforts to more simple grassroots
initiatives. Some of these include but are not limited to our
multi-national deworming campaign, a human rights advocacy program ran
through the Equality House, a conservation effort in the rainforests of
Peru, as well as a network of orphanages and safe havens all around the
world.
I’m so excited to say that I was just recently encouraged to
write a short story about my journey into motherhood for possible
publication in a pro-life project benefiting a women’s health clinic
with the Gabriel Network, in Baltimore, Maryland. The project was
created to encourage young women to choose life for their child,
regardless of their circumstances. I’m so flattered to be even a small
part of such a meaningful endeavor. What could be more important than
encouraging the preservation of life.

My
submission is presently being considered for publication with
CausePub.com in Jillian Amodio’s book “New Life Within”. I say
“considered” because the final stories chosen will be determined by
votes. The more votes I get the better my chances of being published. So
if you are willing, I’d love it if you would read my story
and if you like it, I’d be honored if you would vote for my story and
ask a few of your friends to do so as well. And perhaps they’ll tell
two friends…and they’ll tell two friends…and so on and so on.
My husband and I were what everyone called “meant to be”. What started as
friendship developed into a beautiful love story and I married the love
of my life. That being said our life was far from perfect but it was
ours to go through together and here we are 17 years later. Two years
into our marriage we felt we were ready to start a family. Did I say
ready? Actually I was petrified but felt my clock ticking away.
I was 32 when I got pregnant with my first child. I was excited and
nervous all at once realizing that I was standing at the threshold of
motherhood. Was I ready? I had my doubts because although I was in my
thirties I still had moments when I felt like a kid myself. I had heard
so many horror stories about pregnancy and painful deliveries that I was
fearful of the unknown. As my pregnancy progressed I was constantly
sick to the point that instead of gaining weight I had actually lost 15
pounds. Forget morning sickness, I had all day sickness. You would think
that I was miserable but the truth is that I felt the complete
opposite. Yes my body was changing and nausea did take over but the
moment I felt that life that was growing inside me moving, kicking all I
could focus on was how amazing I felt. I hadn’t met her yet but had
already fallen completely in love with her. Being pregnant was the most
amazing feeling I had ever had. There was nothing to compare it to
because it was so unique. I loved being pregnant so much so that on a
particular night I started having contractions and had a bit of a panic
attack because I wasn’t ready to stop being pregnant. I didn’t want to
give up that beautiful feeling. I think that somewhere in my mind I felt
like I was doing something SO important, something that would make a
difference. I had never felt that important before. It turned out to be
Braxton Hicks and I was so happy to know that I could be pregnant for a
little bit longer.
A few weeks later contractions came again this
time I was ready and so eager to meet my baby. On December 18th 1998 my
beautiful daughter was born and I was never the same. How can you
describe a heart so full that it overflows? I was now in that club, you
know that one where you get to say “you’ll understand when you’re a
mom”. It’s so true! The minute I held her for the first time I
experienced an overwhelming flood of emotions that I had never
experienced before. There she was with her red puffy cheeks and sweet
trusting eyes and she was mine. True I had to share her with my husband
but she was mine. I was in heaven. What was it like? Well, I was
determined to breastfeed and therefore did not sleep. This little 6 lb
baby girl always wanted to feed. I didn’t know what I was doing but
trudged through until one morning I was pumping breast milk and wondered
why the milk was pink. My inexperience with latching on the baby was
showing. I’ll spare you the gory details so let’s just say that I was
raw and in so much pain but could not, would not give up. I was
devastated to think that I wouldn’t be able to nurse her if I started
giving her formula while I healed. God knows our limits and He knows our
needs. A few weeks later I was ready to try again and she latched on
like a pro. God is good and I felt the blessing. She nursed until she
was almost 9 months old.
As she grew her father and I enjoyed
every moment. She has always been our tender hearted warrior loving
everyone and always willing to serve others. She truly has a beautiful
heart. What a blessing she has been.
Fast forward four years later
as we decide that it’s time for another baby or at least time to start
talking about it. I am a planner and need time to get used to changes so
when we had just barely started considering another child and I
suspected that I may already be pregnant I panicked. I bought a
pregnancy test in order to remove any doubt. I remember that day as if
it were yesterday. As I waited for the results I prayed and asked God
for a false alarm. I didn’t feel like I could love another child as much
as I loved my daughter. I couldn’t fathom that idea. When the results
were ready I was afraid to look but mustered up the courage anyway. When
I saw the blue negative sign I dropped to my knees, put my head down
and cried a deep painful cry as if I had lost a child. At that very
moment I knew I was so wrong. I knew then and there that I wanted
another child and that there was so much more love to be given.
This
time around it was just not happening. We tried for a little over a
year and nothing. I started feeling as though it was my fault because I
put it off for so long or because back then I wasn’t sure if I wanted to
do it at all. I was stressing myself out in a big way. Once I finally
let go and relaxed that’s when at long last it happened. We were elated!
The pregnancy this time around was almost identical I lost another 15
pounds before I ever gained an ounce. That quickly changed after the
first 6 months. I enjoyed it just the same. This one was a “live one” I
thought to myself. I remember being in church as they played the worship
music and feeling my belly move to the beat. He’s been dancing ever
since. I can’t seem to keep that boy still. He’s a character and just
the thought of him makes me smile. My gorgeous boy was born on January
22, 2003. Everything was great at the hospital and luckily this time
around nursing was a cinch for a pro like me.

The
physicist and inventor Nikola Tesla was the first to carry out wireless
energy experiments at Colorado Springs, USA, which produced such
powerful electrical tensions that they resulted in the creation of
artificial lightning. These lightning flashes also produced radio waves.
Due to their extremely low frequency these waves could penetrate the
earth without resistance and thereby Tesla discovered the resonance
frequency of the earth. Unfortunately Tesla was before his time and his
discoveries were not taken seriously.
Confirmed in 1954 when
measurements by Schumann and König detected resonances at a main
frequency of 7.83 Hz. In the years following this discovery, several
investigators worldwide have researched "Schumann resonance" and a
number of properties and characteristics have now been established.
Schumann Resonance Properties
The
spherical earth-ionosphere cavity is created by the conductive surface
of the earth and the outer boundary of the ionosphere, separated by
non-conducting air. Electromagnetic impulses are generated by electrical
discharges such as lightning, the main excitation source, and spread
laterally into the cavity. Lightning discharges have a "high-frequency
component", involving frequencies between 1 kHz and 30 kHz, followed by a
"low-frequency component" consisting of waves and frequencies below 2
kHz and gradually increasing amplitude. This produces electromagnetic
waves in the very low frequency (VLF) and extremely low frequency (ELF)
ranges.
ELF waves at 3 Hz to 300 Hz are propagated as more or less
strongly attenuated waves in the space between the earth and the
ionosphere, which provides a waveguide for the signals. Certain
wavelengths circumnavigate the earth with little attenuation due to the
fact that standing waves are formed within the cavity, the circumference
of which is "approximately equal to the wavelength which an
electromagnetic wave with a frequency of about 7.8 Hz would have in free
space" (König, 1979, p34). It is the waves of this frequency and its
harmonics at 14, 20, 26, 33, 39 and 45 Hz that form Schumann Resonances.
Dr
König carried out further measurements of Schumann resonance and
eventually arrived at a frequency of exactly 7.83 Hz, which is even more
interesting, as this frequency is one which applies to mammals. For
instance, septal driving of the hippocampal rhythm in rats has been
found to have a minimum threshold at 7.7 Hz (Gray, 1982).
This
relationship has been explored by a number of investigators. For further
information see Natural electromagnetic fields research on the h.e.s.e.
project website.
YIN and YANG
During his research Dr Ludwig came
across the ancient Chinese teachings which state that Man needs two
environmental signals: the YANG (masculine) signal from above and the
YIN (feminine) signal from below. This description fits the relatively
strong signal of the Schumann wave surrounding our planet being YANG and
the weaker geomagnetic waves coming from below, from within the planet,
being the YIN signal
Research carried out by E.Jacobi at the
University of Duesseldorf showed that the one sided use of Schumann
(YANG) wave simulation without the geomagnetic (YIN) signal caused
serious health problems. On the other hand, the absence of Schumann
waves creates a similar situation.
Mankind depends on two subtle environmental signals, the Yin from below and the Yang from above.
