Social Consciousness: Positive Thoughts, Affirmations Shown to Boost Overall Health in New Research Are the majority of your thoughts positive, or are they hampering your mood and subsequently bringing along negative health consequences? New research has found that savoring the moment and thinking positively can help to improve your health and help steer health-conscious decisions in the right direction. In particular, the findings found positive thoughts to be especially beneficial to those already suffering from diseases like coronary artery disease and high blood pressure. The research involved 3 different studies involving 756 participants, and was published online in the January 23 edition of the Archives of Internal Medicine. This research is the first of its kind to use large, randomized controlled trials to show that you can use positive thoughts and self-affirmations to create behavioral changes and true health transformation. One tip researchers offered was to consciously think of happy thoughts as soon as you wake up. Source: Anthony Gucciardi - Natural Society Related Posts

Give Up the Blame Game. Be Your Own HERO! When you blame, you become lame. Blaming keeps you stuck in the same game of repetitive patterns. You simply give your power away to that which you blame and allow it to control your freedom. Who or what are you blaming in your life? Parents.Government.Friends.Employer.Weather. Things do happen in life that are painful. This is true. But to hold onto the anger and resentment simply keeps you stuck in the past. Sometimes, we create a story about what happened or should have happened. When you blame, you choose to be a victim. When you blame, you dishonor yourself and how strong you really are. When you blame, you also dishonor those at whom you point the finger, forgetting who they really are and the lessons you are meant to learn. To continue blaming can be an excuse for actually doing something to change your current situation and yourself. You always have a choice in any given moment as to how to respond, and it’s those choices in your past that have created your current situation. Love.Now

This time we check out Suren’s masterful collection of animal eye close-ups. While this post and the one prior focus on Suren’s macro work, his talent spans to portraits, landscapes and other creative photo projects which you can see on his personal website and portfolio on Behance. In parallel to photography Suren has been teaching physics, mathematics, projective geometry and astronomy at the Yerevan Waldorf School for the last decade. And from 1997 to 2011, he served as a scientific researcher at the Institute for Physical Research of National Academy of Sciences. Suren received his PhD in Theoretical Physics from the Yerevan State University in 2001 where his research focused on Quantum Chaos. *As stated on Behance. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.

Sacred Frequencies Modern science is now beginning to recognizing what the ancient mystics and wise men have told us for centuries; that everything is in a constant state of vibration. The most elemental state of vibration is that of sound. Everything has an optimum range of vibration, and that rate is called resonance. The earliest conventions of Western music held that "Music on earth was a reflection of the greater 'music of the spheres', a harmony created by relative distances and rates of motions of the planets - a harmony that was constantly present, if only people were sufficiently sensitive to hear it" (Yudkin, Jeremy, Music in Medieval Europe, 1989). It is said that our planet beats from 7.82-8 cycles per second (7.82-8 hz, fundamental Schumann resonance), 8 hz is the alpha brain wave rhythm in which our parallel processors, or brain hemispheres, are synchronized to spin together equally. " Ordinary" awareness brain waves ranges from 14-40 hz. Dr. Enhance, Heal, & Rejuvenate What is DNA? Dr. Dr.

Binaural Beats | Mr Meditation This article is designed to give you some insight into the relatively new technology of Binaural Beats. Binaural Beats are specific frequencies that can bring you into a profoundly deep state of meditation within minutes using the latest innovations in sound technology. They utilize a specific audio mixing technique designed to alter the listener’s brain wave activity. By sitting or lying down in a quiet environment and wearing headphones these beats can be used to create Alpha, Theta and Delta brainwave patterns. When brainwave patterns change it has been documented that there is also a change in chemical reactions within the body which can have a profound effect on your entire physical structure. In effect these beats have the same impact and benefits of a deep meditative state akin to hypnologic trance or transcendental mediation. An added benefit of using such technology is that the states it creates allow you to access the subconscious parts of the mind. 1. However, it was Dr.
