the healthy living manifesto we have a responsibility ... the four directions Are you an Empath? By Openhand Guest Writer for Wake Up World Unfolding the Higher Paradigm. Imagine being able to feel and sense everything, whether positive or negative around you, 24/7. An Empath can’t turn off empathy (unlike someone who is perhaps ‘empathising’). It is possibly one of the most challenging of psychic gifts to master. Empaths incarnate into this world without a manual. Everything is energy Everything is energy, pulsating particular vibrations. Empaths will feel the energy in the field, feel the energy of conversation, feel body language, feel words used (or not used) without intellectual interpretation. Because of the tendency for people to hide the full story, or try to control the situation, an empath will tend to feel a huge inner conflict or inability to process the enormity of the engagement. “Make it go away!!!” Most people who have this trait do not see it as a gift. In my early days I used to cry out to the universe “I don’t want to feel all this energy – it’s not mine”… Soul to Soul
A Disconnected Humanity: The Age of Pineal Suppression By Michael Roads Guest Writer for Wake Up World We live in an age of pineal suppression. We imbibe and ingest substances that tend to calcify the rice-grain-sized pineal gland, and on a global scale we have become subservient to the various systems of government. We are continually subjected to a number of controls all designed to disempower us. As we become less self-reliant so also our relationship with the world around us is reduced and diminished. We live in a world where over a hundred million people in the Western World take anti-depressants on a daily basis. The answer is simple: from a metaphysical viewpoint, our pineal is the interface between we humans and the greater world around us; the galaxy around us; and even the multiverse in which we live. We all know that if you disconnect an electrical appliance from electricity, it will not work. If you find the idea of a multiverse too challenging, then we will call it your connection with the greater reality in which you live.
Power robs the brain of empathy Researchers have some new insights into how power diminishes a person's capacity for empathy. According to scientists, a sense of power shuts down a part of the brain that helps us connect with others. For their study that builds on past information about how the brain operates, the researchers found that even the smallest bit of power - for instance from a job promotion or more money - can shut down our ability to empathize with others. Read more... The study authors write: "For example, with respect to action observation, neural circuits that are related to action execution become active when the person observes someone else making the same action; in other words, the observer’s brain resonates with the model’s motor behavior."

Why The Poses You Avoid Are The Ones You Need Most It's been said that yoga is the ultimate journey into the self. Practices like meditation, pranayama, and asana are simple mirrors into our relationships with ourselves. And like anything worth doing in life, yoga can be as challenging as it is uplifting. Here are some tips to help you withstand the difficulties that arise on your mat. Don’t get mad at the pose. The poses that frustrate me the most, the ones I quickly want to dismiss or avoid, are precisely the ones I need. Opening the heart wide in a deep backbend conjures up sensations surrounding vulnerability, control, and the unknown. Both are still works in progress, but the mat is so often a metaphor for life, and what I experience in my practice will inevitably be reflected outside of it as well. Your mind understands it before your body does. I see this so often. Without hastily throwing yourself in and out of a posture, allow one of your favorite teachers to intelligently guide you into it.
Psychedemia (movie) “Psychedemia” was the first academic conference funded by an American university to explicitly focus on the risks and benefits of psychedelic experience. Ph.D’s, M.D.’s, M.A’s, graduate students and lay folk from all walks of life convened at the University of Pennsylvania over the 27th-30th of September 2012 to present new research addressing the historical and potential influences of psychedelics on knowledge production, health, and creativity. The four day event brought together scientists, artists, journalists, historians and philosophers from more than 10 countries for an Ivy League convocation unprecedented not only in view of its controversial subject matter, but in its unparalleled inter-disciplinary scope. Psychedemia, the film, concisely presents the varied complexity of the emerging field of Psychedelic Studies in a way that is accessible, informative and inspiring.
