Thought for the Day

 "Don't trust the mind.

It's the ultimate Fake News.

 

But the heart. The heart knows.

 

And forgives the mind.

And blesses the mind.

And gives the mind

a place

at the table."

Why teens are kinder than you think – and how to inspire them to be kinder still

 Teenagers get a bad rap, but research suggests they go beyond expectations when it comes to showing kindness and empathy

Teenagers all too often get a bad rap. But recent research from the University of British Columbia in Canada suggests that teenagers “surpass expectations” when it comes to doing kind things for other people.

The pandemic has led to a surge in people, including teenagers, volunteering in their community, which doesn’t surprise Prof John-Tyler Binfet, the academic behind the study.

“The research is really challenging this notion that teenagers are self-serving,” he says. “I’m not downplaying bullying in schools, but my focus is to find out what they’re doing well, as a way of getting more of that out of them.”

Binfet adds that acts of kindness can result in a positive impact on others, not just the recipients. His findings show positive effects on the atmosphere in schools, as well as improved student-to-student relationships and student behavior. Acts of kindness also produce a ripple effect.

How to Attract Positive Relationships (& Drop the Negative Ones, Too!)

 

Do you know how to attract positive relationships into your life, or do you often feel surrounded and overwhelmed by negativity?

One thing I have heard from lots of people who are interested in the Law of Attraction is that they often struggle with the negative people in their lives.  When you want to live a more positive life, it can be especially frustrating to be surrounded by people who constantly complain, or who are rude or judgmental. 

I too had this experience for a long time, and I still deal with negative people from time to time.  However, I have found a few ways to improve the quality of the energy of the people who surround me.  With a little bit of tweaking, I’ve found myself surrounded by more positive folks, and the negative people in my life have either stepped back a bit or they have become more positive when I am around them.

If you would like to attract more positive people into your life, or if you would like for the negative people to make themselves scarce, here are a few things I recommend:

The Mind Can Control the Body: Body Sensations Found to Be Controlled by Psychological Stimuli More Often than Physical Stimuli

The old adage of “mind over matter” is true, according to the results of a Hungarian study. Their findings proposed that most attention-related body sensations take their cues from psychological stimuli from the central nervous system (CNS) rather than from the peripheral nervous system (PNS.)

The researchers reported that cognitive processes are responsible for body sensations such as numbness, pulse, tingling, and warmth. So, anything that adjusts one’s state of mind – such as meditative contemplation or mindful practices – can also alter these common sensations that were formerly attributed to autonomic processes.

Researchers from ELTE Eötvös Loránd University in Hungary conducted the groundbreaking study. They published their results in Physiology International in 2017. (Related: Don’t sweat the exam: Another study confirms mindfulness reduces stress.)

Are You Suffering from PAST LIFE Traumatic Stress Disorder?

Most of us know that unhealed emotional trauma can result in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and many of us have even experienced it. But, did you know that we can also carry unhealed emotional trauma from past lives? In fact, there’s a direct link between past life trauma and present day fears, phobias and panic attacks. If you’re experiencing any of these conditions, you could be suffering from Past Life Traumatic Stress Disorder!

Maybe you’re wondering, how can you carry unhealed emotional trauma from one life to the next?

Although you may live many lives and incarnate as very different characters, your soul remains with you from life to life, and even though you may not remember a thing, your soul maintains the memories from all lifetimes and keeps track of “unfinished business.” So, each time you reincarnate, you take it all with you, and this means that if you die with unhealed emotional wounds in one lifetime, you’re born with the same unhealed emotional wounds in another.

The List of Products and Foods That Have Tested Positive for Monsanto's Carcinogenic Glyphosate

Monsanto is receiving considerable global backlash after the agrochemical and seed giant was found guilty of malice and of covering the fact that their flagship product can cause cancer.

At issue is glyphosate, the active chemical ingredient in Monsanto’s Roundup and Ranger herbicides. For years, evidence has been mounting that glyphosate is carcinogenic, which is quite alarming considering that it is the most widely used (and overused) agricultural chemical ever.

“Americans have applied 1.8 million tons of glyphosate since its introduction in 1974. Worldwide, 9.4 million tons of the chemical have been sprayed onto fields. For comparison, that’s equivalent to the weight of water in more than 2,300 Olympic-size swimming pools. It’s also enough to spray nearly half a pound of Roundup on every cultivated acre of land in the world.” ~Newsweek

A Gift from the Trees How Maple Syrup Extract Fights Superbugs

Around the globe, experts are sounding the alarms about antibiotic resistance—that is, when antibiotics that used to save lives are no longer effective against the bacteria they once killed with ease since their lifesaving introduction in 1929. Antibiotic resistance results mainly from the overuse of antibiotics in humans and livestock, and it is expected to reach crisis proportions in 2017.

We’ve reported previously on various natural foods and supplements that work against bacteria and the illnesses they cause. Now, an exciting new study suggests that an extract from maple syrup may actually boost the effectiveness of antibiotics—including against superbugs—while minimizing their side effects.

5 Reasons Your Ancestors Didn’t Have Depression and Anxiety and You Do

By 2020, according to the World Health Organization, depression is set to be the second most disabling condition in the world after heart disease. This widespread illness affects people regardless of their background, nationality, sex or wealth. Statistics suggest 3.1% of the U.S. population were diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder in 2015. However, the true number of anxiety sufferers is expected to be much higher.

This has not always been the case. Take yourself back in time 70 years. In 1942, ten times less people were diagnosed with depression and anxiety.

So why are we so much more likely to get depression and anxiety than our ancestors? Is it simply a case that our ancestors did suffer with these conditions, but were less likely to be diagnosed?

Living Your Life with Passion and Purpose

Are you living a life in alignment with your passion and purpose or is every day a struggle? If you live with passion and purpose, you feel as if you are on fire for life, and it shows in your energy and enthusiasm.
When you are doing what you love to do, work does not seem like work. Passion and purpose help you sustain your energy and draw positive situations and people towards you. This balances out your life and makes you a much happier person.
If this doesn’t sound like you and you find yourself struggling, don’t despair. It is never too late to unearth those long-lost dreams.

THE ROAR OF TRUTH

So much is shifting and changing in our world currently. It sometimes feels like being on a never-ending rollercoaster as planet earth and her inhabitants expand and grow in consciousness. This very process brings to the surface all manner of hidden shadows and dark energies to be transmuted.

When we surrender to Divine forces we must remember there are times for us to be flexible and inflow but there are also times when we must hold strong to our principles and inner knowing, be at peace with our truth and stand our ground.

These inner truths must be honored in our lives in order that we may live authentically and maintain our integrity.

They are the truths of love, kindness and compassion, goodwill and the right of every human being to experience love, joy, peace and fulfillment.

Thought for the Day

"If you knew what I know about the power of giving,
you would not let a single meal pass
without sharing it in some way." ~ Buddha

You Will Be Always Loved

If you want to be loved then you have to kill your expectations because expectations are that one thing which prevent us to holding on to a relationship. Expect from your own self that what you can do and what you can give to your family, friends and to society. Without giving, you will get nothing. Make a habit of giving and sharing.

Believe me, giving love is the best feeling in the world. You feel like a complete person. Nowadays people are so upset because they give nothing and expect everything. This is wrong thinking. First put then receive. You have to love first then you will be loved. There is a lack of love around the world. People are so sad because everybody needs love and people don't know how to love? Stop searching for love, be a loving person so that everybody itself attracts to you. Spread love, if you want to be loved.

Living Your Life with Passion and Purpose

Are you living a life in alignment with your passion and purpose or is every day a struggle? If you live with passion and purpose, you feel as if you are on fire for life, and it shows in your energy and enthusiasm.

When you are doing what you love to do, work does not seem like work. Passion and purpose help you sustain your energy and draw positive situations and people towards you. This balances out your life and makes you a much happier person.

If this doesn’t sound like you and you find yourself struggling, don’t despair. It is never too late to unearth those long-lost dreams.

Antioxidants Reduce Allergies in Kids

Antioxidants are critical to our health for a number of reasons. One is that they directly reduce the risk of oxidative radicals. And oxidative radicals are the cause of many degenerative diseases.

But now we find that antioxidants also play an important role in immunity. Especially among children. Research from Sweden has found that children who consume more antioxidants have a reduced incidence of allergies.

If You Regularly Wake Up Between 3-5am It May Actually Be A Sign Of Spiritual Awakening

Having trouble sleeping is not a fun experience, especially when you wake up in the morning with a full list of things to do. Sleep is incredibly important to one’s health and mental well-being, so you want to make sure that you’re getting enough of it.

If you find yourself waking up at a certain time each night, it’s important to know that this could be a sign that the energies in your body have become stagnant. The different energy meridians throughout the body are activated at different times throughout the day, which makes it somewhat easy to pinpoint exactly what’s wrong.

Here are the different possible meanings behind waking up at the same time every night or morning:

Alcohol is a major toxin that contributes to cancer, stroke and neurodegenerative disease

Researchers and physicians have long known that chronic, excessive alcohol use can cause devastating effects on health. And, it’s becoming increasingly clear that those who consume large amounts of alcohol sharply increase their risk of certain cancers.

Disturbingly, some studies have shown that as few as one to two drinks a day can raise cancer risk – even as other studies show that alcohol, in small to moderate amounts, provides some protection against heart disease.

In light of this contradictory information about the effects of drinking, it’s good to know that certain nutrients and supplements exist that can help neutralize the damaging effects of alcohol – making them a wise choice if you choose to drink. {Keep reading – to discover the best ways to protect your health}
