Train Your Brain To Let Go Of Habits – 10 Methods For Creating New Neural Pathways When you understand how neural pathways are created in the brain, you get a front row seat for truly comprehending how to let go of habits. Neural pathways are like superhighways of nerve cells that transmit messages. You travel over the superhighway many times, and the pathway becomes more and more solid. You may go to a specific food or cigarettes for comfort over and over, and that forms a brain pathway. The hopeful fact, however, is that the brain is always changing and you can forge new pathways and create new habits. I used to drive with one foot on the brake and the other on the accelerator, and I wanted to train myself to drive with one foot only. Because of neuroplasticity, the brain’s ever-changing potentials, anything is possible. Whether you work with others on their habits or you work with your own (or both), you can apply these understandings to boost your success. Some Powerful Ways to Retrain the Brain 1. 2. 3.

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. What about when we are thinking negative thoughts all the time? Positive vs. Is there duality in our world?

5 Ways to Increase Your Spiritual Awareness Many of us seem to think that being spiritual means we have to be religious. Just because you aren’t directly affiliated with a specific religion doesn’t mean you shouldn’t strive to be more spiritual. The whole concept of spiritual awareness isn’t all about connecting with a higher divine power, but also connecting with nature and yourself. Once you have established this connection, you will see life from a whole different perspective. Here are five techniques that can help you increase your spiritual awareness: Technique #1: Learn to Communicate With Your Soul Your soul is an energy entity that holds part of your awareness and memories. To communicate to your soul, you need to first believe that you have one. Technique #2: Get Plenty of Sleep Create a schedule that makes it possible for you to get at least 6 to 8 hours of sleep every night. Technique #3: Spend Time With Nature The secrets of life are embedded in nature. Technique #4: Stay Positive and Laugh Often About the Author Pao L.
The Science Of Entanglement & The Illusion Of Separation – SAND 2014 With great gratitude I found myself with like-minded scientists and thought leaders at this year’s Science and Nonduality Conference (SAND) where a common ground was sought between neuroscientists, physicists and the consciousness community. This year’s theme was “Entanglement” and recognition that “when science drills down into the core of even the most solid-looking object, separateness dissolves, and all that remains are relationships extending throughout and possibly beyond, space and time.” What is so interesting about SAND is the confluence of the nondualists who simply attribute EVERYTHING to consciousness without a need for science, and those among us whose minds still seek “answers” and for whom a scientific “explanation” makes things land more deeply. What is also so extraordinary about this conference is the ability to exchange ideas with so many different scientific and nondual thinkers (the latter being a necessary contradiction) in a nourishing environment.

Can't Stand Meditation? This Technique is For You. A consistent meditation practice is a struggle for even the most experienced of meditators. For some reason it’s difficult to bring yourself to sit down and quiet the mind despite knowing that it’s the best thing for you. I was talking about this phenomenon with my good friend Phil Drolet of The Feel Good Lifestyle and he replied with a novel solution. “When you go to the gym, do you just do bench press the entire time?”Tweet I said “No, I do 5-7 different exercises depending on what muscles I’m working on.” “Exactly! The Method Instead of doing 20 solid minutes of meditation, Phil breaks it down into 5 4-minute intervals of different practices. 1-4 min — Breathing Focus 5-8 min — Your Favorite Mantra 9-12 min — Loving/Kindness 13-16 min — Gratitude 17-20 min — Intention Visualization This not only makes your session go by quickly, but also allows you to energize many different parts of your psyche and energy body. Is this a cop out? Yes and no. The Takeaway
body connection The Mind Body Connection is made through the Heart. The thoughts we think in our Mind, and the emotions we feel in the Heart, give form and substance to the physical reality we experience as life. Thoughts can and do remain as unmanifested forms in the Mind unless and until we give them substance with the power of feeling and emotion. The Human Body is an instrument used by the Mind to perceive its creations. Life is a series of images and feelings parading through the Mind in an ordered and coherent fashion. "Things" that we experience as physical reality are thoughtforms given substance by feeling in the Mind. Feelings in the Heart arise from only two emotions: Love, and fear. Fear is Love turned inside out and upside down by the Ego Mind to create Illusion of Separation and make physical life exprience possible. The Ego Mind, fear, and Illusion of Separation are all necessary steps in the creation of physical reality. How does the Mind Body Connection work? But don't panic! Dr.
How to Deprogram Yourself “We are caged by our cultural programming. Culture is a mass hallucination, and when you step outside the mass hallucination you see it for what it’s worth.” -Terence Mckenna Society has undergone a mass brainwashing and it is time for us to deprogram ourselves in order to be completely immersed in the evolution of consciousness. 1. If a UFO were to land in your backyard tonight, I promise the ET will not have either a bible or money. What religion does not teach us is that we are powerful, spiritual beings without them. In the next few months or years, we can look forward to religion’s next form of mind control as they admit to the presence of extraterrestrial beings. The real truth is that the bible is just a story to keep you living in subservience, control and conformity, the same template as every government. The Solution Ask lots of questions and go within for answers. 2. When you find religion, you find money as these two tenets in life are married to one another. 3. 5. 6. 7.
The Sacred Geometry Of Music The Sacred Geometry Of Music by Andrew Lorimer Music uses the laws of vibration to manifest aurally what exists at the center of everything. Into our reality springs a non-visual harmonic law that is universal. The notes and intervals of music speak directly to the chakra centers and causes them to vibrate in harmony to the vibration of a string or vocal chords, speakers moving through the air, or the sound of someone’s lips making a farting noise through a metal tube. Music uses the laws of physics and mathematics to bring out an emotional response in the listener. The music of the Western world uses a mathematical system based on Twelve. Clock Harmonisphere The mathematics of the harmonisphere are amazing. When we measure the same chords on the harmonisphere, the seven chords have the same mirrored combinations as the piano:
How to Respond to Negative People Without Being Negative “Don’t let the behavior of others destroy your inner peace.” ~Tenzin Gyatso, 14th Dalai Lama A woman with whom I once worked seemed to talk non-stop and loudly, interrupt incessantly, gossip about whomever wasn’t in the room, constantly complain, and live quite happily in martyrdom. It seemed nothing and no one escaped her negative spin. At first, my judgmental mind thought her behavior to be quite inappropriate. Her negativity was infectious. For a while, though, I listened to her whenever she followed me into the lunchroom or the ladies’ room. I’d excuse myself from the one-sided chit-chat as soon as possible, wanting to someday be honest enough to kindly tell her that I choose not to listen to gossip. And it was exhausting because whether I listened to her or not, or even managed to momentarily escape her altogether, I was still held captive by her negativity. I interacted with her only a handful of times a month, but her negative presence lingered on in my life. Photo credit: D.
