Your Lifestyle Has Already Been Designed (The Real Reason For The Forty-Hour Workweek) By David Cain / raptitude.com/ Oct 23, 2013 Well I’m in the working world again. I’ve found myself a well-paying gig in the engineering industry, and life finally feels like it’s returning to normal after my nine months of traveling. Because I had been living quite a different lifestyle while I was away, this sudden transition to 9-to-5 existence has exposed something about it that I overlooked before. Since the moment I was offered the job, I’ve been markedly more careless with my money. I’m not talking about big, extravagant purchases. In hindsight I think I’ve always done this when I’ve been well-employed — spending happily during the “flush times.” I suppose I do it because I feel I’ve regained a certain stature, now that I am again an amply-paid professional, which seems to entitle me to a certain level of wastefulness. What I’m doing isn’t unusual at all. It seems I got much more for my dollar when I was traveling. A Culture of Unnecessaries You may have heard of Parkinson’s Law.
How to Lose Your Mind and Create a New One By Katrin Geist Guest Writer for Wake Up World Breaking the habit of being yourself requires – dare I say it? – discipline. Daily discipline. So why not actively create your life, instead of mostly running in automatic-reactive-survival mode? Interacting with the quantum field Nobody is doomed by their genetic makeup or hard wired to live a specific way for the rest of their lives. Says Dr. “You… broadcast a distinct energy pattern or signature. In essence, we influence the quantum field through our Being-states (and not only through what we want). Vision and creative mode A brain region called the frontal lobe plays a key role in envisioning the life you desire. If you can hold a vision regardless of what’s going on around you, you are in creative mode, i.e. you refuse to respond to any triggers in your environment, and you KNOW with 100% certainty that your vision must come, as it already happened in the quantum field. This is exactly what we admire in great leaders: Gandhi, Dr.
Change Your Life in 60 Seconds With This Breathing Exercise Ever feel blocked? When we get hooked into our to-do lists and daily duties, we lose track of life flow. A big block is fear. Whenever fear arises, we get stopped in our tracks. Thoughts like, “I can’t,” or “there’s not enough” or “there’s no way” block us from creative ideas and the energy we need to move forward. Then fear leads us to overthink and start future tripping about negative outcomes. One of the greatest ways to bust through emotional blocks fast is through a breathing technique frequently used in Kundalini yoga called breath of fire. Breath of fire is a rhythmic breath in and out the nose. On the inhale, your diaphragm extends. Breath of fire newbies often emphasize the exhale. It's also common for the newcomer to feel shortness of breath. Remember that on the inhale, your diaphragm extends and on the exhale, it contracts. As you practice breath of fire, you'll release the tension in your diaphragm and in effect release yourself from many emotional blocks.
10 Painfully Obvious Truths Everyone Forgets Too Soon “The truth does not cease to exist when it is ignored.” You know how you can hear something a hundred times in a hundred different ways before it finally gets through to you? The ten truths listed below fall firmly into that category – life lessons that many of us likely learned years ago, and have been reminded of ever since, but for whatever reason, haven’t fully grasped. This, my friends, is my attempt at helping all of us, myself included, “get it” and “remember it” once and for all… 1. We know deep down that life is short, and that death will happen to all of us eventually, and yet we are infinitely surprised when it happens to someone we know. LIVE your life TODAY! 2. Your life is yours alone. Remember, it’s always better to be at the bottom of the ladder you want to climb than the top of the one you don’t. And if life only teaches you one thing, let it be that taking a passionate leap is always worth it. 3. Busyness isn’t a virtue, nor is it something to respect. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
The Powerful Practice Of Eye Gazing The very first time I experienced eye gazing I was floored by what I felt and saw. The connection you feel with another human being, the visualizations of past lives, future potentials and more, all can become very real while engaging in this exercise. Of course, there are many different intentions you can set before a session of eye gazing that can bring out an array of outcomes, but let’s jump into a rundown of how to go about an eye gazing session and from there we can explore what the benefits of such a practice might be. “When eye contact between two people is initiated and maintained, an invisible energetic circuit is established between the two participants, dissolving the barriers that ordinarily separate them from each other, drawing them ever closer into a shared awareness of union.” Will Johnson Right off the top it’s possible that some of us might think this is some “new-agey” or spiritual practice.

Things You Can Do To Get Smarter You might be under the impression that intelligence is a fixed quantity set when you are young and unchanging thereafter. But research shows that you're wrong. How we approach situations and the things we do to feed our brains can significantly improve our mental horsepower. That could mean going back to school or filling your bookshelves (or e-reader) with thick tomes on deep subjects, but getting smarter doesn't necessarily mean a huge commitment of time and energy, according to a recent thread on question-and-answer site Quora. When a questioner keen on self-improvement asked the community, "What would you do to be a little smarter every single day?" 1. Every online break doesn't have to be about checking social networks and fulfilling your daily ration of cute animal pics. 2. It doesn't have to be pretty or long, but taking a few minutes each day to reflect in writing about what you learned is sure to boost your brainpower. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10.
6 Characteristics of Self-Actualized People What exactly is self-actualization? Located at the peak of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy, he described this high-level need in the following way: “What a man can be, he must be. This need we may call self-actualization…It refers to the desire for self-fulfillment, namely, to the tendency for him to become actualized in what he is potentially. Characteristics of Self-Actualized People In addition to describing what is meant by self-actualization in his theory, Maslow also identified some of the key characteristics of self-actualized people: Acceptance and Realism: Self-actualized people have realistic perceptions of themselves, others and the world around them.Problem-centering: Self-actualized individuals are concerned with solving problems outside of themselves, including helping others and finding solutions to problems in the external world.

5 Strategies to Read People’s Emotional Energy Emotions are a stunning expression of our energy, the “vibe” we give off. We register these with intuition. Some people feel good to be around; they improve your mood and vitality. Emotional energy is contagious. When reading emotions, realize that what others say or how they appear frequently don‘t match their energy. Here, the surrender to focus on is saying “yes” to the messages your body sends. Strategies to read emotional energy Sense people’s presence - This is the overall energy we emit, not necessarily congruent with words or behaviour. As you read people notice: does their overall energy feel warm? Watch people’s eyes – We can make love or hate with our eyes. Take time to observe people‘s eyes. Notice the feel of a handshake, hug and touch – We share emotional energy through physical contact much like an electrical current. Listen for people’s tone of voice and laugh – The tone and volume of our voice can tell much about our emotions. Like this article? About the Author:
6 Ways To Become Incredibly Sexy Want to know the biggest secret about your authentic sex appeal? It's determined by you. That's right. When you find yourself attractive, luscious, gorgeous and appealing, then others will, too. But when you don't feel sexy, well … I hate to say it … then others won't see you that way, either. One of the biggest mistakes people make in relationships is that we expect another person to make us feel how we don't feel on our own. For example, you want a man to make you feel sexy (because you don't feel sexy), or you want a woman to make you feel hot (because you don't feel hot). Until you feel sexy, attractive and appealing as you are, then it's impossible for another person to make you feel this way for an extended period of time. While there's nothing wrong with wanting to be desired by another person — in fact, it's completely normal and beautiful to feel this way — it's important to understand that how others experience you is 100% related to how you experience yourself. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
10 Signs You Have Found Your Soulmate “Your soul mate makes you feel entirely intact, like no piece is missing from the puzzle. A life partner, on the other hand, can be a great supporter and long-time companion, but is limited in his or her capacity to enrich your spirit.” ~ Dr. Carmen Harra Soul Mates. Soul mates differ from life partners. You see, in life, we have no control over timing and sometimes less control of circumstance. Chances are if you are open, ready and blessed enough to meet a Soul Mate in this life time it will happen unanticipated and unexpected. There are no words or explanations that can clearly articulate such a connection. Actually, timing and way are quite often terrible. It is raw and it is so damn real you want to run away just to soak it up and take it in. When you finally settle into the WOW, you see the beauty, the rarity, and eventually the clarity. “Have you ever met someone for the first time, but in your heart you feel as if you have met them before?” Intimacy requires an open-heart. 1. 2.
Science Theory Shows We Can Reprogram Our DNA to Heal Ourselves with Vibration As though to confirm the hunch many of us had that our ‘junk’ DNA was anything but disposable, researchers from the Gene and Stem Cell Therapy Program at Sydney’s Centenary Institute have proven that 97 percent of human DNA programs or encodes proteins in our bodies. One of the researchers involved in this study said, “this discovery, involving what was previously referred to as “junk,” opens up a new level of gene expression control . . .” This also means there are multiple modalities that mainstream science has yet to give a nod to, which just might re-train or reprogram our DNA — even cells which have become cancerous or are mutilated by the onslaught of toxins in our environment and negative emotional baggage which has been proven to have an undesirable impact on health. Many people have compared human DNA to the Internet. Chaos theory states that chaotic appearances are just a very complex system affected by very subtle changes in an almost infinite array of varying possibilities.
Tapping into your Emotions at the Core One of the most important piece of the evolution of consciousness and re-intergration into our whole-selves is the reconnection to our emotional aura – our awareness of feeling both in ourselves and those around us. It is when we recognize emotions we can directly translate mental information into physical action, and physical action into mental information with an ease and clarity that was not apparent before. Understanding becomes easier because there is feeling connected to the thoughts and actions that run through your awareness. If we use the analogy that solid ground is “physical action” and the vast blue sky are your “mental thoughts”, then emotions are like the water that run through the rivers and float as clouds through the sky, and constantly flow between the two. Could you imagine a world without water? I sure can, but in its present state I wouldn’t want to live there. So how do we tap into our emotional body? 2 groups were asked about this. So what does this mean?

How to Remove Attachments to Past Relationships PROCEED WITH CAUTION: The only way this article will make sense to you is if you have had an encounter with a soul that was put in your path to help you dive deep into clearing past life soul Karma. About five years ago I was involved in the most manipulative and energetically parasitic relationship I could have ever imagined. I was tossed around, in and out of mind games and by the time I got out of this relationship I had felt like I had just gotten out of the heavy load cycle in the spiritual washing machine (whatever that is). I had to physically separate myself from this person, so I did. The most intense part was that even though I had separated my physical body from his, I could still feel him and his emotions even though we were hundreds of miles away from one another. And then it hit me after one day in meditation. We magnify this oneness energy when entering a relationship with someone. So how are energetic chakra cords even created in the first place? 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
