5 Ways Meditation Affects Your Brain

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Thu, 03/19/2015 - 09:28

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.

A federal lawsuit has been filed against the chemical company Dupont by residents of West Virginia after being poisoned with a chemical called C8. The plaintiffs seek damages from Dupont for contaminating their drinking water.

DuPont has a habit of poisoning people – as many chemical companies do. The company has been sued hundreds of times for contamination both the environment and humankind. The chemical C8 is used to make the product Teflon, which can cause liver, prostate, and testicular cancer. Dupont was aware of this danger for a long time, but continued to use it in the manufacturing of products anyway.

MAVEN detects unexpected aurora and mysterious dust cloud around Mars

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Thu, 03/19/2015 - 08:14

Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft has observed two unexpected phenomena in the Martian atmosphere: an unexplained high-altitude dust cloud and aurora that reaches deep into the Martian atmosphere.

The presence of the dust at orbital altitudes from about 150 - 300 km (93 - 190 miles) above the surface was not predicted. Although the source and composition of the dust are unknown, there is no hazard to MAVEN and other spacecraft orbiting Mars, NASA said.

Laila Andersson of the University of Colorado's Laboratory for Atmospherics and Space Physics (CU LASP) in Boulder, Colorado said that if the dust originates from the atmosphere, this suggests we are missing some fundamental process in the Martian atmosphere.

Rainbow Reminders: Day 198, Etznab 3

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Wed, 03/18/2015 - 21:39

RAINBOW REMINDERS   In your myths, rainbows are symbolic of fortune, abundance and promise. We invite you to focus on these symbols whenever you see a rainbow. Stop what you are doing and tune into these energies, feeling gratitude for the blessings in your life. Visualize yourself receiving abundance in all things. Send blessings to all other Beings so they too, may allow themselves to receive abundance and to share their gifts.

Think of the leprechaun with his pot of gold, remembering to allow abundance to flow into your life. See the arch as a portal you can enter at any time to collect gifts within you that currently lie dormant. Receive the promise that you are loved and supported by Source, your Higher Self and Spirit Guides.

Each color in the rainbow has its own energy frequency. Allow these frequencies to enter your body, healing all aspects of your self. As you look at the beautiful water crystals glistening in the sun, which creates the rainbow, send blessings to all the waters of the Earth, including the water in your body. For the fun of it, get up, jiggle your booty and enjoy “a bun dance!” Be silly and have fun today. Selamet!  Etznab 3

To read this Message in its entirety, scroll to Day 198 at: https://mayanmessages.wordpress.com/days-196-208/   Please include this web address when posting and sharing with others.   Many blessings, Theresa Crabtree

High Intention

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Wed, 03/18/2015 - 21:38

Many of My conscientious children want to do everything right. This is truly a human desire. However, it is unlikely that you will attain what is considered perfection in the world.
 
Now I will tell you what is the best thing you can do in all situations. This is it:
 
To come from high intention. Come with a high intention to serve. This is something you can do. You have a much better chance to steer your life with high intention than you have a chance of being perfect. In fact, you can let go of the idea of being perfect, for in the world, you are not likely to succeed. Perfect to whom anyway? To yourself? To another? Perfection, like just about everything else in the world, comes down to a matter of opinion.
 
And, then, you may ask: “What is the Highest of any and all intentions? How do we struggling humans know the answer to that?”
 
What I think is that you come from the high intention to serve. Desire to come from the Highest Intention to serve God. It’s also very fine to serve your children and family with the highest intention to serve them. Or the highest intention to serve your employer. The highest intention to prepare delicious and healthy food. The highest intention to drive your car safely and considerately for all.

Cowabunga! 2015 Pisces New Moon Solar Eclipse

29 Pisces 27

2:36 AM PDT / 5:36 AM EDT / 9:36 AM GMT

The Pisces New Moon Solar Eclipse is an Alpha-and-Omega event. It’s bringing endings and beginnings of epic proportions, unifying and eliminating while yanking us out of hibernation in accelerated blossoming.

The year’s first eclipse is a force of nature, or rather, a paradoxical combination of forces.  Water and fire don’t normally coexist — water usually douses fire — but this time water is catalyzing and empowering the flames. (Thinking of fire as life force may make it easy to wrap your head around this.)

Unstoppable, emotional to the max and all-encompassing, the Pisces New Moon is unleashing a tsunami that washes away everything that doesn’t fit on our recently restructured platforms — and delivers that power right into the rebirth-of-fire-and-life that comes with the beginning of spring.
