Dear Ones, attempting to create the life of your dreams while holding back energetically is very much like expecting everyone to show up at a party that you have not invited anyone to. ~Archangel Gabriel
1. Who do you envy and why?
Gretchen says that when someone has something you want, that’s very useful information about who you want to be. Rather than focusing on the negative aspect of envy or the judgment you might put on yourself for feeling that way, focus on being grateful for this additional information about what you value and care about.
To those of you who do not seem to get enough rest, and you’ve tried everything, well, then, never mind about it. Drink your green tea, pinch yourself, be awake and have the idea that you are getting enough rest. No longer say: “Oh, I’m so tired. I don’t get enough sleep, etc.”
Give yourself some better propaganda.
Rest and appetite are not all they are cracked up to be. You can eat and eat when you have already had enough. You can crave sleep in the same way. Consider need for sleep as an appetite. You know very well that if you found out you won a big lottery today, you would be quite alert and wide wide awake!
What you tell yourself is important. Don’t turn yourself into an insomniac. Nothing is for you to make a big deal of.
You are well aware that I am all for your getting enough sleep. It is possible that you don’t really know what is enough for you at any given time. In any case, you don’t want to convince yourself that you are lacking anything. You have the resources within you to be fine. So be fine. Declare it. Own it. Let yourself know that you are doing well and rising above everything, even what the world might call not enough sleep.
Figures are arbitrary. They mean what you say they mean. With or without sleep, you are doing well. Remind yourself that you are not your body. You are ever so much more.
How this works is that our perceptions tend to break down into two main categories: problems as obstacles, and problems as opportunities. Let's explore both in detail and extract as much personal empowerment as possible, shall we?

“Enlightenment without action is hallucination.” ~ Unknown
The forests in most countries around the equator, such as the Brazilian Amazon, have suffered greatly. In the 1960’s they were cut down to make way for cattle ranching and crop cultivation. At that time, governments were quick to loosen their restrictions on protected lands to benefit from high beef prices, driven by the growing fast food industry and foreign agricultural interests. Thanks to funding from McDonald’s, Burger King and Wendy’s, governments were able to give subsidies to local farmers to burn down sections of the rainforest and make room for cattle pastures, as well as cultivate large quantities of crop such as soybean and African palm.

Over the past few decades a significant and noteworthy amount of scientific research has emerged contributing to the notion that human precognition could very well be real, and that we all might possess this potential -amongst various other extended human capacities. Thanks to the research by various scientists presented in this article, extended human capacities are beginning to exit the realm of superstitious thinking, delusion and irrationality and find their way into the world of confirmed phenomena. Claims of precognition or “future telling” have occurred “throughout human history in virtually every culture and period.”
HJ: Mindfulness is the art of detaching from your thoughts and therefore the suffering they invariably generate. By doing so you drop into a deeper state of consciousness which gives rise to higher states of emotional intelligence and awareness, such as peace, happiness, contentment, joy, compassion and so on. You begin to tap into and reveal your true self. Below you will find a great article by the always wise Ronald Alexander musing on some quick but powerful ways to drop into deeper levels of peace in your life through the power of mindfulness, based solidly on timeless noble truths from Buddhist philosophy.
