With evidence growing that training the mind or inducing specific modes of consciousness can have beneficial health effects, scientists have sought to understand how these practices physically affect the body. A new study by researchers in Wisconsin, Spain, and France reports the first evidence of specific molecular changes in the body following a period of intensive mindfulness practice.

The study investigated the effects of a day of intensive mindfulness practice in a group of experienced meditators, compared to a group of untrained control subjects who engaged in quiet non-meditative activities. After eight hours of mindfulness practice, the meditators showed a range of genetic and molecular differences, including altered levels of gene-regulating machinery and reduced levels of pro-inflammatory genes, which in turn correlated with faster physical recovery from a stressful situation.

Pollution isn’t only a concern when you’re outdoors—it’s a concern in your home as well. From the carpet on the floor to the cleaning products you might use, there are numerous contaminants that could be infiltrating your domicile. Ideally you would replace these toxic substances with less toxic counterparts, but that isn’t always practical. Fortunately, research has shown certain houseplants to have air-purifying effects that can make it easier to breathe while beautifying your surroundings.

Researcher Kamal Meattle is an environmental advocate and air quality innovator in his native India. There, he advocates for “massive banks of plants instead of massive banks of HVAC equipment” for cleaning the air. He and others interested in natural air-cleaning methods have identified several plants that are great for removing toxins, including carcinogens from the air.

Using other people’s successes or abundance to amplify your feelings of lack amounts to holding your breath because you can see other people breathing. There is more than enough for everyone, Dear Ones, and if success is around you it is because it is aligning with you, too. ~Archangel Gabriel

Sun in Libra moving forward in Venus’ airy sign forms a cardinal t-square with Uranus and Pluto this week, and Sun clashing with the two outer titans of change is only the beginning of the tense aspects in the heavens currently forming. Mars and Venus form tough squares to Saturn, and Mars-Venus and Jupiter also oppose the idealistic, illusory Neptune. The strain, effort, and work that the hard aspects (oppositions, squares) demand also suggest the greatest opportunities to productively move forward with various personal and professional goals.

Mars and Jupiter conjunct in Virgo this week, which is of interest in itself…and additionally the pair forms a strong trine to Mars’ overlord, Pluto, in Capricorn. Tangible, detail-oriented action describes Mars in Virgo, who receives a boost from his overlord, Pluto (energy flows well with raw power). Additionally, Jupiter expands the Mars-Pluto planetary pair. What a potent trio! Do all of the tense aspects in the heavens stand a chance of restraining the earthy force of Mars, Jupiter, and Pluto combined? Sharp perspectives and competitive activity help to push objectives forward this week, particularly useful in expanding interests in work and career.

The pre-dawn silence at the foot of the Uluguru mountains is disturbed only by the cries of drowsy birds, the whisper of boots through grass and an intermittent clicking sound that is irresistible to 60 pairs of tiny, almost translucent, ears.

When the sun finally rises over the blue peaks to flood the fields below, it illuminates one of the more unlikely scenes of human-animal cooperation.

Watched over by men and women clutching bananas and the small clickers used to train puppies, dozens of African giant pouched rats shuttle across taped-off alleyways trying to catch the lingering scent of TNT from some of the 1,500 deactivated landmines that have been sown in the red earth.

Most scamper back and forth with an apparent mix of delight and concentration, as if they know that each time they find a mine and communicate their discovery with a fit of scratching, they will be rewarded with a click and a mouthful of fruit.

RELEASE TIME CONSTRAINTS Many of you are feeling a quickening, as though there is no time to get things done, wondering where the hours went at the close of your day. There is a shattering of time as you begin to ascend to higher frequencies of vibration.

Time is relative to your interest in an activity, as well. All of you have experienced performing a chore that you disliked and it seemed to take forever. Yet, when you spent the same amount of time involved in a task that was of high interest, you exclaimed, “Where did the time go?” Each of you has within you the ability to warp time so it benefits you, without harming anyone else.

Many of you cannot wear watches, for they either stop or lose their ability to maintain correct time. When a person chooses to follow his intuition and allows himself to flow with what is happening around him, this belief code creates a higher frequency of love, which is the flow. What happens is that clocks and watches are jangled by this frequency and will not work properly. Have you noticed how those who live this way always seem to show up at places at the perfect time?
