HJ: Life is about balance and in that sense most of us need more stillness, peace and quiet.  The tendency in modern society is to be overstimulated, overextended, over everything… And so finding time for stillness and peace becomes extremely important.  It is nourishing at a deep level to the mind, body, spirit and soul.

ACCESSING THE SPACE WITHIN: A guided relaxation meditation to come to stillness

By Michelene Nader | Mindful Word

–

Through stillness, you can access what is unconscious and bring it to the surface. You can watch your mind with detachment and open and deepen your observation. You can make your state of relaxation a daily practice in the morning when you wake up, in the evening before you go to bed, or anytime ...

During intense energetic times, it is common for people to become aware of emotions coming up. They may feel frustration, anger, irritation, sadness, depression, anxiety. Dear Ones, do not let this make you feel you are not “spiritual”, are somehow broken, or have lost the progress of the work you have been doing diligently for so very long. It is simply another wave of energy leaving you, and your beloved planet, which is exactly what these energies are designed to do.

Rather than seeing them as a bad thing, we recommend treating it like a parade. If you become aware of an emotion that is not your norm, wave at it merrily as it passes you by, secure in the fact that it will not be staying. The releasing process can be joyful!

All that is happening is even more room is being made to receive the light codes that are flooding your planet, moving you ever upwards in the glorious enlightenment process you are all participating in. These are exciting times, indeed. ~Archangel Gabriel

Small things make your Earth plane existence worthwhile. Others may come but, they will never be the same as the one in the moment. Enjoy them as they present themselves. ~ Creator

From stress reduction to improved attention and memory, meditation is a practice that yields a large number of health benefits. Mediation has slowly been gaining in popularity in recent years, garnering a number of scientific studies to determine the specific effects the practice has on the body. It has been found that meditation and other forms of relaxation and mindfulness not only change the immediate state of mind, but also alter the actual structure of the brain.

Before diving into the details, it is important to outline exactly what meditation means. The practice can present itself in many forms, often times different for different people. Mindfulness meditation or focused attention is the most widely practiced form. During the course of the meditation session, practitioners focus on one thought and one thought alone. If a “stray” thought develops, it must be recognized quickly and then brought back to their original focus of attention.

Why would you go for seven per cent when you can get 50 to 100 per cent increases in yield without having to use genetically modified seeds?

The South Australian Agriculture Minister has just reported “amazing” results after trialing a new soil program. Minister Leon Bignell describes using technology that works with the soil and other organic matter. This type of innovation, that he calls an “evolution in science” abounds over genetic engineering, he said.

The results of the following trial experiment strengthened his view that a moratorium on GM technology should remain indefinitely as it proves that GMOs are not needed. Incidentally, this year’s government test run was called “New Horizons” and some of the trial sites boasted a 300% increase in yields.
