Have you ever noticed that people who are professional singers, or the people around you who enjoy singing, are always in a euphoric mood? This is due to the incredible health benefits that singing offers. Here are five reasons that will make you play your favorite song and sing as if nobody’s listening.

1. Improved Mood

When you sing you release the same hormones and chemicals that are released during sex, or when you eat chocolate – and you feel calm and relaxed. It releases endorphins which boost your energy and make you feel less lethargic.

2. Lung Workout

Singing for a few minutes is like a well deserved workout for your lungs. Singing activates your abdominal, intercostal muscles and the diaphragm, all of which stimulate good circulation practices. When you sing, you take deep breaths which allow you to inhale more oxygen and release the tension in your muscles.

Forget muesli, taking acid could be better for your health.

It may sound like a headline from satirical site The Onion, but psychedelics expert Dr James Fadiman Ph.D is deadly serious. The respected scientist claims a small dose of LSD with your morning cereal can help you be more productive, effective, happier and creative, among other things.

Fadiman started looking into LSD’s effects on creativity back in the early Sixties, before the government made psychedelics illegal and stopped funding for scientific research. He had a life-changing experience when his old Harvard professor Richard Alpert (now known as Ram Dass) fed him magic mushrooms in a Paris cafe. Fadiman saw psychedelic research as his calling, and worked hard for the next few years to demonstrate how LSD could help with a wide range of issues: from psychotherapy and addiction treatment to artistic ability, happiness and spiritual evolution. Fadiman is co-founder of and teacher at the Institute for Transpersonal Psychology and has taught at San Francisco State, Brandeis and Stanford.

HJ: Gratitude and appreciate connect you with your innate ability to create happiness and prosperity in your life. They shift you into a perceptual frame where you see the beauty, good and abundance in all things and therefore this must be reflected in your reality. When you come from a place of abundance you create more abundance. When you come from a place of happiness you create more happiness. And so it is.

12 Little Known Laws of Gratitude (That Will Change Your Life)

By Marc Chernoff | Marc and Angel

“Walk as if you are kissing the Earth with your feet.”
― Thích Nhất Hạnh

Gratitude leads to greatness. It can literally turn what you have into more than enough, jobs into joy, chaos into order, uncertainty into clarity, and bring peace to an otherwise chaotic day.

BREATH OF LIFE There are many forms of light, for it means many things to different people. The light we wish to talk about today comes from within; it is the eternal flame that comes from your Creator. Once upon a time, there were no individual lights, all of you were an integral part of the whole, similar to the light that shines forth from your sun. At one point, this light fragmented to allow for a variety of experiences. This light inside your heart is similar to one candle flame.

Each of you has this flame of God Essence within you. Even those that do the most horrendous deeds on Earth have this light within. Many of you have hidden this light so deeply that you cannot enjoy its flame. Yet no matter how deeply it is hidden, this flame can be brought forth to shine brightly. All it needs is a little oxygen. We call this oxygen “breath.”

Your breath is the most important element you need to exist on this Earth. Try not breathing for just a few minutes and you will understand what we say. In order for your light to shine brightly, it needs oxygen. Breathing consciously while setting intentions is very powerful. There are many techniques on how to use the breath to energize the body, mind and soul.

As the ugly realities of the control system become ever more apparent so does the dialogue increase about what can be done about it. ‘Non compliance’ features prominently as an important tool for counteracting the slide into slavish conformation with the powers that be.

In general, as I see it, there are two main strands of choice available to those who wake-up and feel impelled to take a stand: the outward focussed activist approach and the one that favours withdrawal from the system and ceasing to comply with the status quo: ‘non compliance’. Practising both at once is a pretty tall order, but not impossible.

“The method of repression is to not express. If you feel angry, you don’t express it. You suppress it, you don’t allow it to come out. My method is quite the contrary. If you are angry, express it.” ~ Osho

Powerful negative emotions, if not released, remain trapped in your body forever, and this in turn, leads to disharmony in the body, pain, malfunction and eventually disease. Catharsis is a powerful tool for accessing and releasing pent up emotions; a process of healing, cleansing and purification that affects us on both, emotional and cognitive level.

Originally, the term was used as a metaphor in Poetics by Aristotle to explain the impact of tragedy on the audiences. Catharsis was also used in psychotherapy practice – Freud & Breur described catharsis as an involuntary, instinctive body reaction for example crying.

Reenacting scenes from one’s past, dreams, or fantasies helps the person bring the unconscious conflicts into consciousness and eventually experience catharsis. With increased consciousness comes more relief and positive change (Moreno, 1946).

One thing will set you apart from all others; the ability to stop, quiet your mind, heart and body, to revel in your connection to the Universe. Be the calm in the storm of people running away, to or from. ~ Creator

We sacrifice our precious time as living mammals in order to receive money.  In doing so, we often compromise our health.  We then sacrifice our money in order to improve our health so that we can continue to sacrifice time for money.  The world tells us we need pieces of paper to be able to live, but what does this look like to an outsider?  How can we really know when we have no outsiders to this system left?

There are 7 billion human beings on this planet, which is essentially a rock hurtling through space on an orbit which just so happens to be the right distance from the sun to allow for liquid water.  Nature decided this, nature put us here and nature will indeed take us away.  Man did not decide any of these things, and money was never a factor in the making of these things, indeed money was not even a concept.
