The Power of Thank You

We've long maintained that things like Love, kindness and gratitude are what's needed to create a healthy and happy humanity. Not only in some vague, spiritual sense, but also in a very practical, tangible and easily observable sense. There is a wisdom in Love that goes beyond the mind's ability to rationalize. It's an inherent sense of right and wrong that transcends the old, religion-based moralistic systems that have failed to deliver on their promises.

Modern science has recently been discovering more and more to back this up as well. A recent study from the University of Georgia has found that "spousal expression of gratitude was the most consistent significant predictor of marital quality."

"It goes to show the power of ‘thank you,'" said the study's lead author Allen Barton, a former doctoral student in the College of Family and Consumer Sciences and current postdoctoral research associate at UGA's Center for Family Research. "Even if a couple is experiencing distress and difficulty in other areas, gratitude in the relationship can help promote positive marital outcomes."

Why Taking On Another Person’s Problem Is Bad For THEIR Health

By Lynn Newman
Guest Writer for Wake Up World

Confession time: I used to think it was my job to take on other people’s problems — especially in my closest relationships.

Quite honestly? I did it to feel better about myself. But every single time I tried to fix or help, I ended up pushing those I loved away rather than creating the closeness I craved.

They were like: “Hey, I’m a big boy/girl! I know how to take care of this myself!”

And then I was like: “You know what? You DO have you own inner resources to take care of you. WHY was I making this about myself?”

As a creative, empathetic, feeling and intuitive being, I can “feel” the people around me, especially those I care about and love the most. It’s hard for me not to get involved.

Fruits and Vegetables Reaching an Alarming State of Nutrient Depletion

Marco Torres, Prevent Disease
Waking Times

What if our food has been getting less and less nutritious? What if modern intensive farming methods — many of which solved malnutrition problems when they were first introduced — have affected the mineral and vitamin content of what we eat? Could having a constant supply of varied produce and introducing genetically modified foods be compromising nature’s goodness?

Whether it be vegan, low carb, paleo, or any other diet, the quest for the healthiest method of eating shows no sign of abating, yet all have considerable controversy. We know more than ever about what food does to the body and the importance of antioxidants, healthy fats and a low glycaemic index.

Things have changed so much since the wisdom of our ancestors was lost or ignored. Wild dandelions, once a springtime treat for Native Americans, have seven times more phytonutrients than spinach, which we consider a “superfood.” A purple potato native to Peru has 28 times more cancer-fighting anthocyanins than common russet potatoes. One species of apple has a staggering 100 times more phytonutrients than the Golden Delicious displayed in our supermarkets.

Scientists have monitored our Galaxy for five years, searching for objects with variable brightness, such as stars in front of which a planet is crossing or systems of stars that orbit and obscur each other. For this purpose the team has been observing the southern night sky on a nightly basis using the telescope at Bochum's University Observatory in the Atacama Desert in Chile. So far, over 50 000 bright variable objects have been detected during the project.

Iceland Sentences 26 Bankers To A Combined 74 Years In Prison

Source: www.usuncut.com | Original Post Date: October 21, 2015 –

Unlike the Obama administration, Iceland is focusing on prosecuting the CEOs rather than the low-level traders.

In a move that would make many capitalists’ head explode if it ever happened here, Iceland just sentenced their 26th banker to prison for their part in the 2008 financial collapse.

In two separate Icelandic Supreme Court and Reykjavik District Court rulings, five top bankers from Landsbankinn and Kaupping — the two largest banks in the country — were found guilty of market manipulation, embezzlement, and breach of fiduciary duties. Most of those convicted have been sentenced to prison for two to five years. The maximum penalty for financial crimes in Iceland is six years, although their Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments to consider expanding sentences beyond the six year maximum.

Chuck Norris Calls Out Monsanto For Poisoning The Food Supply

Source: www.trueactivist.com | Original Post Date: October 19, 2015 –

Chuck Norris is frustrated over the health risks caused by the world’s most popular weedkiller.

Earlier this year, the World Health Organization (WHO) deemed the chemical concoction glyphosate, which is the main ingredient in Monsanto’s #1 weedkiller Roundup, to be “probably carcinogenic.” 

While some countries scrambled to ban Monsanto’s herbicide shortly after the announcement, nations like the United States did nothing to prevent the further use and spread of the incredibly toxic concoction.

Daily Message ~ Thursday October 22, 2015

Dear Ones, as a human beings you will often have a tendency to overthink things, especially things that are important to you. Be aware that while being mindful is good and definitely recommended, overthinking can cause stress and stagnation.

If you are unsure of how to proceed in any situation, the simplest solution is to simply choose love. What is the most loving action you can take? Love is the solution, you see, because love is the flow, the expander, the healer, the connector, the leader, that you seek. ~Archangel Gabriel

Day 155: Take Chances, Make Changes

TAKE CHANCES, MAKE CHANGES   We cannot overemphasize the necessity of looking within and pulling out the thoughts that keep you from experiencing your dreams. Know beyond any doubt that you are loved and worthy of all the Earth has to offer. You did not come here to be in misery or to solve all the problems of the world. You did not come here to save the souls of others.

You came here to enjoy this realm and to be part of the solution, yet when you wallow in negative thinking, you create more problems. You have the ability to change your thoughts by focusing on things you desire. You have the ability to change your actions by doing the things you want. You have the ability to change your words by expressing your truth. You have the ability to change your attitude by focusing on gratitude.

Only you can make you happy. Do not give this power to others. Recognize that at all times, each of you is doing the best you can. Sometimes you may know what you are doing is harmful to others, yet fear and belief codes motivate you to continue.

Life on Earth Is Temporary; You Are Eternal

God said:

It takes courage to live on Earth. Every day you live, you have some awareness that it’s possible you won’t wake up the next morning. You could die without having a chance to say goodbye or one last kiss.

No one knows the moment when death will knock on his door. Death could be imminent, and then its arrival could be postponed. No one knows when the bells toll. Without notice, without warning, without a perused written or verbal contract, the life of your body can be whisked away in the blink of an eye. There is no insurance policy to prevent death of a body. An insurance policy would not be worth the paper it is written on. Sometimes so-called death has a quick-claim. Sometimes death reverses its decision.

Your body wears no armor. How much protection against death does skin give? No guarantee comes with your body. You have no certain lease on physical life. Uncertainty is your middle name. Uncertainty befits you.

You could have protested about life all your life-long, and, yet, at the moment of death’s arrival, you resist. You fight tooth and nail. Death seems to be like a bully and a trickster. Show-off death. You may not have wanted to keep your life that much, yet you sure don’t want to give it up now. Life was lovelier than you knew. Death has no right to take you away from this life. For all intents and purposes, this particular life is the only one you know. It is precious. Your life ought to have rights.

Once your sexuality is repressed, your creativity is repressed, because sex energy is your creative energy. It is God's way of helping you becoming creative. Sex is creativity.

The man who has repressed his sex will not be able to create anything; he will be stuck.

Studies Show That Creating Art Helps Cancer, Reduces Stress and Increases Brain Activity

We’re always hearing in the news about the profound effect that art can have on our well being.  Scientists have found various ways to utilize art in the medical fields and the world of the everyday.  For example, it has been shown that the creation of art can have positive effects in the treatment of cancer, and that perhaps taking your lunch break at an art museum can reduce work-related stress.

The newest word on the subject is a recent study published by the  Public Library of Science found that there was “a significant improvement in psychological resilience” among elderly participants in a class where they ‘did art,’ versus those who sat in on a verbal art class.

Runner’s High Is Essentially Like Smoking Weed!

feature_image_tasdfaemplate

When it comes to extreme and intense workouts, the high that comes afterwards is probably one of the most rewarding feelings that one can have after putting your body through endless activity. The reason behind this high is due to your body producing a neurotransmitter that allows your body to be relaxed. This neurotransmitter is essentially the likeness of smoking marijuana, according to this study that was published in PNAS.

Transformation triggers on over-drive!

Solar flares? Nope. Huge astrological alignments? Not really. Crazy, mega intense, huge, fast and furious energies around this week? Yes indeedy!!!

Heart palpitations, adrenalin racing, unexpected happenings and conversations coming out of left-field, feeling like a Mack truck is slamming into us repeatedly, albeit the "I'm doing this for your own good" kind, and wondering how on Earth it is only Tuesday night when it feels like SO much has changed since Monday morning? You are not alone.

I don't have any answers as to where this energy is coming from. It's not quite the usual 'Wave: Incoming!" feeling I get. You have to wonder if someone over at HAARP got a little trigger happy: "What would happen if I push this button on High??" Whatever the Source, the good news is that the energy feels to be abating significantly now. The other good news is, as uncomfortable as these past couple of days may have been for some of us, they have been some of THE most powerful days I can remember in terms of positive shifts and leaps forward.
