Welcome to the Community Exchange System Do These 5 Things Before Bed & Wake Up Happier. Wanna get happy? Just do this one thing. Noooooooooooo. Of course not. Happiness—or a consistent state of contentment—is very much something we can enjoy striving for. I believe that it is an achievable state, but there are absolutely no direct routes there. There’s something really lovely and fragile about knowing we can’t have instant happiness, that we get to wade into the many rides that our emotions take us on daily (even hourly), so that we can experience the fullness and richness of life. But there are some things we can do to encourage ourselves down the long and winding road toward happiness, and it’s often the little things, done with mindfulness and persistence, that accumulate and train or minds (and brains) to think happy. You know the drill: train the body to like running, and at first it will laugh and maybe spit at you—but eventually it will cave to your iron will, and a runner you (and your body) will be! Why should the brain and mind be any different? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
Research Mapping Human Emotions Shows Strong Mind Body Connection Inspired by an article written by Alex Pietrowski of Waking Times| Mapping out human emotions shows how strong the mind-body connection really is. Scientists from Finland have recently been able to use topographic methods to see what the effects different emotions have on body temperature and other sensations in the body. What’s interesting is that after five experiments and over 700 participants, there was an outstanding degree of accuracy between where people said they felt a certain emotion on their body and where that emotion showed up on their body using topography. According to the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences: Most basic emotions were associated with sensations of elevated activity in the upper chest area, likely corresponding to changes in breathing and heart rate (1). So when you experience love or pain in your heart, you are literally feeling it over the heart area of your body, and we would be able to prove that scientifically. (source: NPR) About the Author
The Effects Of Negative Emotions On Our Health Joe Martino, Collective Evolution, Guest | Humans experience an array of emotions, anything from happiness, to sadness to extreme joy and depression. Each one of these emotions creates a different feeling within the body. After all, our body releases different chemicals when we experience various things that make us happy and each chemical works to create a different environment within the body. For example if your brain releases serotonin, dopamine or oxytocin, you will feel good and happy. Convexly, if your body releases cortisol while you are stressed, you will have an entirely different feeling associated more with the body kicking into survival mode.

Some phenomena people point to for evidence of this include telepathic experiences and psychic abilities. We all know what it’s like to know what a friend is going to say right before they say it. But there is an entirely new field of evidence that exists which gives serious credence to the idea that our minds are connected at a much more intimate level than ever imagined. This may seem like a far out idea, but is it possible that our thoughts create fields of information that go into the Global Mind we share? There is a fascinating phenomenon in science known as the “multiples effect“. By 1922, there had been 148 major scientific breakthroughs identified to have been discovered in such a way. Here are some discoveries which are a little more recent in our times: - Sound film was in invented by two different people. – The jet engine was independently invented by three different people. The list goes on and on. Sources:

Does listening to pure gamma brainwave entrainment everyday help overcome depression and improve memory? by angelica I've been listening for about four days (for about an hour each day) to a pure gamma brainwave video which I downloaded from the internet a few days ago -- thinking that it would improve my memory and cure episodes of depression (as this is the only reason why I am into it right now). I intended to use the same everyday for four weeks... only to find out here (in one of the comments posted here) that listening to one type of brainwave is not advisable. Perhaps this is the reason why after listening to the video on the third and fourth days, I felt dizzy (or groggy) all throughout the day, and so I thought something must be wrong. So how do I do it then? I would be grateful if you would answer the following questions: 1. 2. 3. 4. Hello Angela, You would freak out if you continue listening to gamma or worse any one type of brainwave frequency range for an hour, daily interchangeably. They are developed with the full understanding that our brainwaves fluctuates in all states.
untitled How Can You Control Your Brainwave State? For many thousands of years spiritual sages, rishis, yogis, shamans, monks, whatever you would like to call them, have been perfecting the process of meditation to induce deep meditative states. They would have to spend many hours a day of quieting the mind and controlling their brainwave states. This is just not practical for most people to do in their hectic modern lifestyles. The old method of doing this was using specially embedded binaural beats. How Do Binaural Beats Work? When you play two separate frequencies in each ear, say 140 Hz and 149 Hz, the difference in frequency is 9 hz. Trypnaural meditations use the most effective and current of all brainwave entrainment technologies available today called "Isochronic Tones" How Do Isochronic Tones Work? These are by far the most powerful and effective brain trainers. This actually mimics the same methods used by the ancient tribesman who would beat their drums to a special rhythm.
Quantum Physics and Vedic Unified Consciousness Today, science and religion say that a single entity or force created the universe and is omnipresent, maintaining and governing the fundamental machinery of everything in this and other universes. In Hinduism, Brahman is the one supreme, universal Spirit that is the origin and support of the universe. The very first book of Hindus named Rig Veda proclaims, “Ekam Sat, Viprah Bahudha Vadanti,” which means “there is only one truth, only men describe it in different ways.” Recent scientific discoveries validate the concept of Brahman, the ultimate reality for the Hindus. Physicists and cosmologists call this divine source the Unified Field. In the Vedic language God and the realized individuals are described as “anor aniyan mahato mahiyan” (Katha Upanisad 1-2-20), meaning “God is smaller than the smallest and greater than the greatest.” Paradigm Shift The universe is and can be viewed as symbiotically and totally unbroken, interconnected, highly networked, integrated, and harmonized.
