“We are not our bodies, our possessions, or our career. Who we are is Divine Love and that is Infinite.” ~ Dr. Wayne W. Dyer ​(1940-2015)

There are people in this world who can touch our hearts in really profound and meaningful ways, and that’s exactly the impact Wayne Dyer had on me.

Wayne W. Dyer, you were one of the most beautiful, humble and authentic people who ever walked on this Earth. And I learned so much from you. You taught me how to be humble, how to live in love and truth, and how to always honor who I truly am underneath it all. You taught me how to be better than I used to be and I will always be thankful for this. Thank you for sharing your love, your knowledge and your wisdom with all of us.

The world was, is, and will be a better place just because you have lived. You will be greatly missed.

From slowing the decline in fatal brain disease, to generating a sense of oneness with one another and the universe, drumming’s physical and spiritual health benefits may be as old as time itself.

Drumming is as fundamental a form of human expression as speaking, and likely emerged long before humans even developed the capability of using the lips, tongue and vocal organs as instruments of communication.

To understand the transformative power of drumming you really must experience it, which is something I have had the great pleasure of doing now for twenty years. The below video is one of the circles I helped organize in Naples Florida back in 2008, which may give you a taste of how spontaneous and immensely creative a thing it is (I’m the long haired ‘hippie’ with the gray tank top drumming like a primate in the background).

Many people may not know it, but there are actually numerous health benefits of chocolate. The real, unadulterated form of chocolate, derived from the Theobroma cacao tree, is a heaven-sent super food that can keep us healthy even as we indulge in its delectable taste. Many overly processed chocolates are full of refined sugar and saturated fatty acids, but the real stuff is packed full of plant derived flavanols, full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatory constituents and health-boosting ingredients that do all sorts of amazing things for our bodies and minds.

Take for example, the following 10 benefits to heart:

• In a 9-year study conducted by the Swedes, it was found that people who consumed chocolate just 1 to 3 times per month had a 26% lower risk of developing heart failure. If you normally give your sweetheart chocolate, consider making it dark chocolate to provide an extra bit of love to the heart muscle.

“It is more important to know what sort of person has a disease than to know what sort of disease a person has.”

As a child, I remember walking in my grandmother’s backyard and one day noticed a litter of kittens near her garage in the alleyway. They were hissing, crying, and yelping with the hair sticking up on their backs as their frames were so thin you could see their skeletons.

“I want to pet them,” I told my grandmother.

“Oh no. They are not ready for that,” she insisted, “Someone must have dropped them off and they need food and water first.”

“Why not?” I asked, “Are they bad kittens?”

“Of course not, “ she laughed, “there is no such thing as bad or evil. There is only misguided love. These kittens were abandoned and they just need love. But they are also starving so we need to first feed them so they can refill what is missing.”

God said:

You do know that there is more to you than you can at present picture or acknowledge. At the same time, there are moments when you do get a glimpse of yourself as a special Being.

I am not speaking of egocentric moments or hours.

I am speaking of times when, to your delight and surprise, your heart may happily skip a beat. There is no proof, yet on occasion, you have an awareness that you have been somehow part of Greatness. You may not quite catch how or what or where, yet you sense you are now back from a remarkable journey, as if you had been absent from Earth even for a split second.

Sometimes you have a hint of something not consciously known. Of course, you are greater than you appear. In Truth, there is no ordinary when it comes to you. You have believed in the fullness of the illusion of ordinariness when there is only the extraordinary.

I am certainly not making this up. Nor are you. You are not inflating yourself. This is not an ego-inflation trip. You may even wonder at your daring to sanction yourself to what cannot be explained. Your perception may be foggy, yet you are perceiving nevertheless.

There is nothing in the world that is impossible to happen. No matter how you put yourself down, there is also nothing in the world that you cannot do. Every human being is more than simply human. You are also suprahuman. You may not have superman muscle, yet you are super just the same. C’mon, you are more than a little person running around harried on Earth.

HJ: You are unlimited. Anything you can dream can be created or achieved. However, you are SO powerful that whatever you believe your limits to be, become real. Therefore your perceived limits are just that. Perceptions and nothing else and they can be dissolved just as easily as they were formed.

Think big
By Tom Murcko

“The greater danger lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark.” – Michelangelo

Internal and external forces conspire to make us think small. Fear of failure. Fear of social disapproval. Lack of confidence, imagination, inspiration. A world filled with meandering, half-lived lives that shape our beliefs about what life can be. Colleagues, friends and family who discourage our boldness because it makes them look like cowards and failures, or because they don’t want us to change. An environment of abundant distractions where the trivial outnumber and steal our attention away from the significant. Institutions that steer us toward the frivolous and the trifling because big thinking threatens to disrupt and disempower them.
