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).

We encourage you to start to play with the concept of joyful creation. So many of your manifestation efforts are being attempted from a place of fear, lack, and disappointment. How can you create from such restrictive energies? Creation is meant to be fun, expansive and magical.

So we urge you to start over again. Ask the universe to bring you something that will make you laugh. Approach the world with the eyes of a child, and allow yourself to be delighted. As you start to see the magic that is all around you, you will embrace that expansive, co-creational flow and naturally stay in energies that can create profound change.

If you need extra support, why not invite your friends to join you in seeing the world with new eyes? Why not start a group to share The Magic That Happened To Me Today and before you know it you will all be focused on the richness, rather than lack, that exists all around you. Magic is always far more fun when shared, Dear Ones. ~Archangel Gabriel

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.

The CDC estimates around 5.3 million Americans are living with some form of Alzheimer’s disease, and that number is expected to double by 2050.^[1] Dementia, a generalized term used to describe neurodegeneration, is a disabling issue that have definitive roots in lifestyle and nutritional habits. While genetics may play a role in brain health, it’s lifestyle factors that are the driving force behind the progression of hereditary variables. A recent study is suggesting pomegranate, a red deciduous fruit rich in polyphenols, may be a potent protector against mental degeneration.

The Wonder Power of Pomegranate

“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.”

A group of architecture students living in Estonia decided to amplify the true sounds of nature by constructing giant megaphones and placing them in the wilderness. The megaphones are placed at the required distance and angles so that the sound will feed from all three directions .

The author of the idea is an interior architecture student Birgit Õigus who aimed to blend contemporary architectural space and wilderness. Privately funded, these megaphones are accessible for hikers and nature lovers for free.

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.
