Hawaii Just Banned Plastic Bags At Grocery Checkouts!

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Sun, 07/12/2015 - 18:47

Hawaii is the first US state to ban plastic bags from being distributed at grocery store checkouts.

Like France, the state of Hawaii (US) seems intent on leading the rest of the world into a sustainable era. Recently news was shared of its plans to transform old buses into homeless shelters, and now the Huffington Post has just released word of its latest plan to reduce pollution by banning plastic bags from being used at grocery stores. 

With between 500 billion and trillion plastic bags consumed worldwide each year, reducing their use is one way to ensure they no longer ‘sack’ the environment.

Your Sacred Power

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Sun, 07/12/2015 - 18:34

God said:

Here is a lesson in life. This is a great lesson for you to learn. It is a basic lesson. For a long time, you have not absorbed this lesson. You have flouted it, or ego has flouted it for you. Here is the message to uphold:

You don’t have to stick up for yourself.

In the world, as you imagine it, life demands that you stick up for yourself. It demands that you joust with words, for, as it seems to you, no one has the right to overlook you or insult you or demean you in any way.

You presuppose that what someone says or doesn’t say has the power to demean you. You may be quick to give away your own God-given power.

You may say to yourself: “This time I will stick up for myself.”

When you stick up for yourself, you think you are saying: “You must not affront me. You have no right to affront me.” Just so, you have given the seeming other the right. You just handed it to him as you say, “Look, you have affronted me.”

I don’t tell you to be a mouse. I am telling you that it is a mouse that squeaks. The seeming other does not have to get a rise out of you. You do not have to give away your sacred power. You do not have to give your sacred power over to anyone. Even if you are in prison, you can keep your Power to yourself in Silence.

Do you fear that being silent is acquiescing? Being silent holds a great deal of power. Or, you can respond, “Of course.” Okay means: “Okay, let’s go on with life.”

10 Lessons Learned From A 3 Year Old

I have a beautiful god-daughter who I think is one of the smartest, sweetest, most beautiful kids on the planet. After minding her I have a further appreciation of sleep and for all parents out there. Kids are wonderful teachers as they can see a world filled with joy and opportunities. I think we could all benefit from having such beliefs.

Below are some of things I have learned from her and other children, they are all adding light to an often dark and cynical world.

  1. The world is an amazing place. With fresh eyes we can appreciate so much more around us. Helicopters and airplanes are a marvel. Our imagination is an incredible tool that we rarely use for good. Every morning is a gift and we should all wake up as excited as a child because it means a new day full of possibility.

Why the Quantum World is Changing Everything

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Sun, 07/12/2015 - 09:35

By: Thais Gibson | Hack Your Passion 

Quantum physics is the new physics that is pointing to something far greater than the materialistic world that we once believed to be the basis of our existence. Not only is disproving our original perception of space and time, but it is opening the doors to possibility of time travel, telepathy and consciousness creating our reality. Below are some of the major properties of quantum mechanics and the implications they have on the world around us. You won’t be disappointed!

Quantum Entanglement: When two sub-atomic particles cross paths with one another, they become “entangled.”This means that their properties become linked with one another. When these entangled particles are separated (even millions of miles or light-years apart), what happens to one particle instantaneously happens to the other particle.

Why this is so phenomenal: This means that information is travelling far faster than the speed of light to be communicated in an instant way across vast distances.
This defies what we previously knew to be possible, and also hints at the notion of telepathy having the potential to be scientifically studied.

Treating Anxiety Naturally

Everyone experiences anxiety every once in a while. Some people are plagued with anxiety and suffer daily from the symptoms that come along with it.

Anxiety is an overwhelming feeling of worry that effects the body both mentally and physically. Symptoms of anxiety include: cloudy thoughts, heart palpitations, sweaty palms, muscle tension, dry mouth, nausea, insomnia, an inability to concentrate, regularly not wanting to get out of bed, nagging negative thoughts that the worst is going to happen.

For many people, these symptoms can be debilitating and hard to live with. Sometimes, when a person gets to this point, they seek medical attention and are prescribed pharmaceutical drugs that block the symptoms so the anxiety can be easier to live with. However, the anxiety medication may cause awful side effects sometimes worse than the anxiety itself. Medications become addictive while causing damage to the vital organs in your body like the liver and kidneys.

The Global Choir: How Technology Creates Fascinating Musical Projects

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Sun, 07/12/2015 - 09:05

Source: www.totalchoirresources.com | Original Post Date: April 6, 2015 –

For most of us, our experience of a choir comes from singing, conducting or being part of an audience.  With the amazing technological advances we enjoy today, the definition of what a choir is has been given some fascinating alternative angles with global music projects based on the internet.  I will be looking at two different examples for the purpose of this article – Eric Whitacre’s Virtual Choir and Playing for Change – but would love to hear from readers about any other such projects taking place.

Virtual Choir

Chances are you’ve probably heard of renowned composer Eric Whitacre.  His first album Light and Gold won him a Grammy award in 2012 as both composer and conductor with the Eric Whitacre Singers.  If you haven’t already listened to his music, it’s well worth taking the time to do so.  I was first introduced through singing Seal Lullaby in our Total Voice Chamber Choir which we performed at the Bournemouth Pavillion.  I thought it was so beautiful and really enjoyed the atmosphere the music created and the beautiful harmonies.

Scientific Study Reveals How To Literally Upgrade Your DNA

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Sun, 07/12/2015 - 09:00

Did you know that you can literally upgrade and activate your DNA in a way that is scientifically verifiable in a lab? There’s a lot of talk about “DNA activation”, which is usually dismissed as new age mumbo-jumbo with no real scientific basis.

But 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 mindfulness meditation.  It shows that you can literally switch on certain genes while meditating that previously were dormant, an idea that had previously only been thought of pseudoscience.

The study

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.
