consciouslifenews--2020-03-17--What is FEAR and How To Overcome It –  a Covid-19 Perspective

In light of the Covid-19 pandemic which is causing many people to be fearful , anxious and panicky , I decided to repost this article that I wrote a couple of years ago to help people deal with the current situation .
In the article , I distinguish between fear due to immediate physical danger and fear as an emotional state due to imagining a possible negative situation in the future .
We are dealing with both here – the risk to our health and the consequences of this unprecedented global shutdown .
I believe that there is more to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this pandemic is cover for a much , much bigger plan that is unfolding that will completely transform our world .
We 'll have to wait and see , but in the meantime , we have to deal with the present circumstances .
There are several interpretations of the acronym FEAR , the most common being ‘ False Evidence Appearing Real ' .
Personally , I prefer ‘ False Expectations Appearing Real ' .
In most cases , our fears are not related to physical danger , they are internal fears – fear @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fear of judgment , fear of rejection , etc .
‘ Evidence ' implies that there is validity to your fear , that facts support it , but in most cases , there is no evidence ; the fear is in your mind , it is imaginary .
‘ Expectations ' are thoughts about what might happen in the future , which again are products of our imagination .
They are n't real .
Fear is a great tool to alert us to the of a negative outcome , but if we continue @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that negative outcome .
Fear can paralyze us and stop us from taking action to prevent the situation that we fear from occurring .
It 's the ‘ deer in the headlights ' response – which means you are so frightened or surprised that you can not move or think .
I saw a quote several years ago that I love – “ “ .
Working with horses taught me so much about fear because as prey animals horses are great examples of how to use fear to spring into action to escape @ @ @ @ @ @ @ fight or flight ' .
They do n't dwell on the source of their fear , they do whatever is necessary to avoid the danger .
I have always been led to work with horses that have fear and confidence issues .
My greatest teacher was my Andalusian ( Spanish ) horse who had an emotional breakdown and became extremely dangerous to ride .
I chose to rehabilitate him and by doing so I learned to not only deal with his fear issues but also with my own fear .
Horses communicate through @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my website www.energetichorsemanship.com ) .
Many times I was in real danger of physical injury because his fear made him extremely reactive and prone to rearing .
I learned that if I responded to his fear by becoming fearful myself I would just make the situation worse and risk serious injury .
So , the danger was real but I chose not to let fear overcome me .
Instead , I would focus on calmness , quieting my energy so that he became reassured and gained confidence from my response .
With practice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ attention in an instant from the danger to the outcome I wanted .
I would him being calm and under control , which calmed him down and prevented a disastrous outcome .
If I had let my imagination run wild with fearful thoughts of being injured or worse it is highly likely that would have been the outcome .
The example above relates to how you can respond to physical danger but it applies just as much to our internal fears .
Think about how you respond to fear .
Do you dwell @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your fear to alert you that you need to do something to prevent that fear from manifesting into reality ?
Whether it 's fear of failure , fear of success , fear of rejection or some other fear , learn to switch your thoughts to the positive outcome that you want .
Visualize the ideal scenario that you want to manifest .
Imagine what success will feel like to you .
Instead of focusing on rejection , imagine that you are appreciated and celebrated .
Practice this every time you have a fearful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in control of your thoughts and feelings and focus on solutions instead of problems you become a master of manifestation .

I hope you find this helpful.
Definition of FEAR
There are several interpretations of the acronym FEAR, the most common being ‘False Evidence Appearing Real'. Personally, I prefer ‘False Expectations Appearing Real'.
Let me explain…
In most cases, our fears are not related to physical danger, they are internal fears – fear of failure, fear of success, fear of judgment, fear of rejection, etc.
‘Evidence' implies that there is validity to your fear, that facts support it, but in most cases, there is no evidence; the fear is in your mind, it is imaginary.
‘Expectations' are thoughts about what might happen in the future, which again are products of our imagination. They aren't real.
Fear is a great tool to alert us to the possibility of a negative outcome, but if we continue to focus on the fear we often manifest that negative outcome. Fear can paralyze us and stop us from taking action to prevent the situation that we fear from occurring. It's the ‘deer in the headlights' response – which means you are so frightened or surprised that you cannot move or think.
I saw a quote several years ago that I love – “Danger is real, fear is a choice“.
Working with horses taught me so much about fear because as prey animals horses are great examples of how to use fear to spring into action to escape from danger. Their response is ‘fight or flight'. They don't dwell on the source of their fear, they do whatever is necessary to avoid the danger.
I have always been led to work with horses that have fear and confidence issues. My greatest teacher was my Andalusian (Spanish) horse who had an emotional breakdown and became extremely dangerous to ride. I chose to rehabilitate him and by doing so I learned to not only deal with his fear issues but also with my own fear.
Horses communicate through body language but also energetically (see my website www.energetichorsemanship.com).
Many times I was in real danger of physical injury because his fear made him extremely reactive and prone to rearing. I learned that if I responded to his fear by becoming fearful myself I would just make the situation worse and risk serious injury.
How to Overcome Fear
So, the danger was real but I chose not to let fear overcome me. Instead, I would focus on calmness, quieting my energy so that he became reassured and gained confidence from my response. With practice, I was able to switch my attention in an instant from the danger to the outcome I wanted. I would visualize him being calm and under control, which calmed him down and prevented a disastrous outcome. If I had let my imagination run wild with fearful thoughts of being injured or worse it is highly likely that would have been the outcome.
The example above relates to how you can respond to physical danger but it applies just as much to our internal fears.
Think about how you respond to fear. Do you dwell on your fears or do you use your fear to alert you that you need to do something to prevent that fear from manifesting into reality?
Whether it's fear of failure, fear of success, fear of rejection or some other fear, learn to switch your thoughts to the positive outcome that you want. Visualize the ideal scenario that you want to manifest. Imagine what success will feel like to you. Instead of focusing on rejection, imagine that you are appreciated and celebrated.
Practice this every time you have a fearful thought or feeling. When you are in control of your thoughts and feelings and focus on solutions instead of problems you become a master of manifestation.

The ACLU called on prisons and detention centers throughout the U.S. to release high-risk and elderly inmates on Monday and applauded an Ohio county court for ordering the release of hundreds of prisoners to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
After a special Saturday morning session, the Cuyahoga County Court in Ohio ordered the release of inmates from the county jail who were at risk for becoming very ill or dying if they contract COVID-19, the respiratory disease which has infected more than 4,100 people in the U.S. as of press time.
The court settled some cases with some people who had pled guilty to crimes and released others into the community on house arrest.
“The goal of this is to protect the community and the safety of the inmates,” Administrative Judge Brendan Sheehan told News Channel 11 in Ohio.
Calling mass incarceration “a clear public health risk,” the ACLU urged other states, counties, and cities to follow Ohio's lead.
Mass incarceration is a clear public health risk. We encourage other states to follow Ohio’s leadership. https://t.co/AYZVfYUdEb — ACLU (@ACLU) March 16, 2020
Earlier this month, Iranian officials released 70,000 inmates from prisons to prevent an outbreak of COVID-19 in the country's criminal justice system.
Advocates for the release of prison populations say that overcrowding in U.S. prisons and immigration detention centers, as well as the poor conditions in the facilities, make outbreaks increasingly likely, as the disease continues to spread.
On Monday, the ACLU joined with the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project (NWIRP) issuing
ICE on behalf of immigrations detained at Tacoma Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, Washington, near the epicenter of the first COVID-19 outbreak in the United States.
BREAKING: We’re suing a Seattle-area ICE detention center for the immediate release of individuals who face heightened risk of illness or death because of COVID-19. As public health experts have repeatedly warned, waiting to react once the virus takes hold will be too late. — ACLU (@ACLU) March 16, 2020
“Immigrant detention centers are institutions that uniquely heighten the danger of disease transmission,” Eunice Cho, senior staff attorney at the ACLU’s National Prison Project, said in a statement. “In normal circumstances, ICE has proven time and again that it is unable to protect the health and safety of detained people. These are not normal circumstances, and the heightened risk of serious harm to people in detention from COVID-19 is clear.” The agency must be proactive in releasing inmates who are most likely to become seriously ill if they contract the disease, the groups said, including those with compromised immune systems, heart disease, and lung disease. “If it waits to react to worst-case scenarios once they take hold,” Matt Adams, legal director for NWIRP, said of ICE, “it will already be too late.”

Everyone wants to be their boss. Nowadays, that’s more attainable than ever. Why be chained to a desk, taking orders for tasks you would prefer not to do when you have a whole business plan you could be putting into play in your own right? These thoughts could be consuming you at the moment. Perhaps you’re not currently working in a field that you’re passionate about, perhaps you know exactly what you want to be doing, but can’t seem to find the time or the right way to get started. No fear — we’ve got you.
While it may seem scary to jump out of your comfort zone and into a whole new way of living and working, we promise it’s worth it if you plan it right. Just make sure that you have all the resources you need to survive before your business blossoms, figure out the best ways in which you can make your business work, and ensure that you have the passion necessary to make that business a success.
Becoming a successful business owner is about more than just your overall plan or the development of your idea, you have to have many things in place before you are ready to start your business. Make sure that you do your research above all and have a reliable team behind you. While having your own business means that a lot of the responsibility falls on you, it also means that you can handpick the people you want to work with, and can be more in control of the support system around you.
In the screen-printing business and offshoot of the fashion industry (a notorious touch business), creativity, business savvy, support, and marketability should all be factors you take into account before you even start! Once you feel prepared to leap, you can quit your job and put all your energy into your new venture. You’ll then be on your way to an unforgettable test of will and business acumen.
This could be a problematic and exhilarating time for you, but don’t get too overwhelmed with the fear of failure. Nothing worth it comes easy! If now is the time to start your dream screen printing business, then don’t let fear prevent you from success.
Your Business Plan
Any entrepreneur will tell you that the business plan is the foundation of your business. This is the time when you will plan out what you want your business to be like, how it can work, and all the building blocks necessary to create the larger whole. A business plan is something worthy of talking through with another business owner or confidant who’s advice you trust. If you already know someone in the screen-printing business who is willing to give you information about how they got their start (like thrive screen printing ), then they might be the perfect person to talk to. While you won’t want to copy what they did exactly (they are your competition!), you will want to get a better understanding of how the specific industry you’re entering works.
The Specifics of Your Business Plan
Costs
These are the details you need to know before you can get your screen-printing business off the ground. For example: how much will it cost to get your business going? How much capital will you need to build the company you want? Will you need an investor or partner to attain your vision? Also, factor in how much you will need only to start your business, but also keep it going.
Who is Your Customer?
This is so important to know before you start your business. Who is your customer? You’ll want to know who is likely to buy your product, and why? How can you better cater to this customer through branding and marketing? How can you get to know your customer and keep them coming back? (Also, make sure they bring their friends with them). Commerce has dramatically changed in the last ten, if not five years. Will your business start online or brick and mortar? What level of exclusivity do you want in your brand? How important is exclusivity to your customer?
What is Your Brand’s Name?
It’s challenging to figure out what your brand will be named because it is one of the most critical factors in your business. This how your brand will become recognizable to potential customers. Make sure that it makes sense, is memorable and catchy. If it has some personal meaning for you, then that’s a good thing, too. After all, this is your business. An element of sentimentality will only be a good thing moving forward.
The Legal Part – Registering Your Business
After you’ve come up with your business plan, figured out how much money you will need to start and sustain the business (as well as how much you stand to make), identified your customer, and named your brand. You’re ready to put pen to paper and make your business official.
What you’ll first need to do is to register your business as an LLC. This ensures that you’re covered tax-wise and won’t have the IRS knocking on your door when they don’t need to be. This is also going to be an exciting time! Seeing your business registered makes the whole experience real.
Open a Business Account
You’ll want to keep your business and personal expenses separate, which will be all the better when it comes to doing taxes and configuring how much money you’ve made and stand to make. This will be critical in understanding how well (or not well) your business is doing financially. Your business finances should stay as far away from your ones as possible.
Get Your Business License
According to which state you live in or which state your business will primarily be operating out of, you’ll need to get a license for your business. This step is of the utmost importance. You’ll want to prevent any possibility of your business getting shut down just because you didn’t get a license. For your business to run, you’ll need this.
Get Insured
Another necessary legality is insurance. Just in case anything ever happens at your facility, you get robbed, or any other factor affects the financial aspect or property of your business, you’ll need to be covered by insurance. This can save you from unexpected occurrences or losses, and you’ll be glad you had it.
The Creative Part
This is the part when you get to have fun. After all the necessary legal aspects are taken care of, then you get to focus on creativity and branding. Starting with the original part, you’ll want to be as innovative as possible. You want your brand to look like any other, but at the same time, it should be marketable. What’s key here is thinking about and implementing your unique skills. What makes your vision one that people will connect to and want to wear?
What do you see for your designs? Are you more about creating the quintessential comfy or stylish tee (or both)? Are you trying to screenprint on anything that can be screen printed on? Are you trying to change the game? How big is your brand, and how can that be translated into marketability? These questions will help you figure out how to design for both you and your consumer. They want to see something they’ve never seen before. You want to implement your unique vision. How can those two perspectives merge into something beautiful and marketable? In the design stage, focus more on creativity than the business part. It might serve you well later. If this is your passion, then make sure that that passion comes through.
Make it Personal
Remember: clothing can be personal for consumers. With more of an emphasis on sustainability in recent years, how has consumerism changed? How can you make sure that your customer is not only happy with your product but also where your product came from? How can you be transparent about that journey?
Depending on the type of consumer you are trying to reach, you should be thinking about what kinds of brands they usually go for. What makes you within that window, and what makes you stand apart from it? These could be factors you take into consideration during the business planning phase as well. The better you know your customer, the more able you will be to produce the product they want and make a name for yourself because of it.
Marketing, Marketing, Marketing
Marketing is going to be one of the most essential factors in getting your designs to the masses. If you have a company or a particular staff member helping you out with this, then you’re in good shape. If it’s up to you, then you need to educate yourself on how to get your designs to the public (we recommend social media!).

I am not a doctor. I am not a researcher. I am not a happiness expert.
I am a human being who has (at the time of posting this) lived for less than thirty years and has accumulated thoughts about how life works. These are some of those thoughts. I hope that you get value from them.
Here are seven necessary rules that I believe you need to live by in order to experience a durable sense of authentic happiness.
1. Feel your feelings fully
Stress is simply the compounded unfelt feelings that live in your body. The more things you don’t feel, the more stressed you feel.
When you don’t feel your feelings, tension shows up in your body. You get sick easier. It’s harder to be happy about life.
Practice cathartic practices. Release anger. Relinquish jealousy. Cry fully.
Remember… life isn’t about feeling better, it’s about getting better at the feeling.
Regularly allow yourself the time and space to let it all out. You’ll be glad you did.
(For more help on how to feel your feelings fully, read this post.)
2. Give more
We all suffer to the degree that our mind/ego convinces us that we are alone. That we are isolated. That life is ours alone to suffer through.
Honoring your emotional states is necessary… but so is getting out of your head and back into the remembering that your life is ultimately about service to others.
When I feel stale, stuck, stagnant… I start chipping away at my service to humanity. I check in with a client who needs support. I write an article that will hopefully alleviate pain in the world. I send one of my best friends a message telling them how much I love them.

Give whatever you can. Give your gifts. Make art. Volunteer. Ask someone you care about how you can make their life even 1% better, and then deliver on that promise.
This will be part of your life’s mission… today, and forever.
3. Live simply
A cluttered life is as ineffective as an umbrella with a hundred tiny holes in it.
Cut down on the number of things that you allow to take space in your calendar.
Invest in a few deep friendships rather than spreading yourself thin with a hundred acquaintances.
Acknowledge that you wear 20% of your clothing the most, and donate the rest of your wardrobe to people who will actually wear what you ignore.
Work in your zone of genius more often than not, and let go of the dozens of things that you do that are taxing, time-wasting, and unfulfilling.
Live simply. Your heart will thank you for it.
4. Seek to understand others
Instead of expending endless energy trying to make yourself seen, known, and understood, seek to understand others.
How many months of your life will you save by avoiding petty jealousies, arguments, and ego-squabbles by seeking to understand the person across from you first?
Related Article: Let Go of Clutter and Live a More Simple Life
Do you have a judgment about someone? Learn from it. Own your projections.
Does someone trigger the fuck out of you? Is it hard for you to be around them without being in your head and quietly resenting them? Great. Another learning opportunity. Use it all. Your mind is your greatest teacher if you are willing to observe it without judgment.
Everyone you cross paths with is a teacher for you. Never forget this simple fact.
5. Engage in regular flow states
Crying, self-reflection, honoring your body… all good things. But it is also imperative that you are regularly filling your life with positive flow states.
Ever heard of flow? This guy wrote the bible on it.
In essence, flow is the state of being fully immersed in a specific activity. You can experience flow while dancing, gardening, cooking, having sex, or creative writing.
Whatever it is that you do that makes hours pass by in the blink of an eye, make sure you’re regularly scheduling these things into your calendar.

consciouslifenews--2020-03-18--The Surprising Benefits of Inclined Bed Therapy

Oftentimes the simplest strategies to pay great dividends .
Getting sensible sun exposure and grounding to the Earth are two examples .
Sleeping on an incline is another .
While few have heard of it and sleeping on a horizontal surface is a well-established norm , raising the head of your bed 6 to 8 inches so that your you ’ re sleeping on a 5-degree incline may have a number of benefits , including : • Easing symptoms associated with Alzheimer ’ s , diabetes , glaucoma , migraines , multiple sclerosis , sleep apnea , acid reflux , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bed therapy was developed two decades ago by Andrew K. Fletcher,1 a British mechanical engineer said to have “ an avid interest in how things work.
” 2 He stumbled upon the theory by studying the circulatory system of plants .
In trees , gravity pulls the denser sap from the top of the tree downward , which then forces the more diluted sap at the bottom to rise upward .
In other words , the interplay between gravity and the varying density of fluids is what causes the sap , which delivers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up and down in a perpetual loop .
He wondered if the same mechanism applied to the human body , and experimentation and further research convinced him that it does .
In the video above,3 Fletcher performs a simple kitchen demonstration to show how circulation is caused by density changes in fluids .
In private correspondence with Nexus Magazine writer Jenny Hawke , Fletcher explained:4 “ [ C ] irculation began long before the heart developed , and this primary circulation continues to assist the heart , providing we take the direction of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the principle that blood entering the capillary vessels in the lungs provides the water and carbon dioxide that we evaporate with each breath .
The blood , therefore , must become denser exiting the lungs , then passes through the heart and is injected back into the main artery , effectively adding denser blood to create a pulsatile flow predominantly down towards the kidneys… [ T ] he blood entering the venous return from the kidneys is always less dense than the arterial blood flowing to the kidneys .
This was a Eureka @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the scale for me and instantly gave birth to Inclined Bed Therapy.
” Similar experimentation was used to determine the ideal incline , which he concluded was about 6 inches , or 5 degrees .
In one experiment , varicose veins disappeared after four weeks of sleeping on a 6-inch incline , which he took as a sign that “ a positive change in circulation ” had been achieved .
Interestingly , archeological evidence suggests some Egyptians slept on inclined beds,5 and a Boston Museum curator confirmed that the incline on one of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ inches .
Now , it ’ s important to note that sleeping on an incline is not the same as sleeping on an adjustable bed that allows you to raise the head while the lower portion remains horizontal .
Fletcher stresses the importance of lying straight , but on an incline .
You ’ re not looking to sleep in a sitting position where only your torso is lifted .
The alignment of your body is important , as you want your blood to circulate freely throughout your whole body and avoid stress @ @ @ @ @ @ @ website , InclinedBedTherapy.com , Fletcher lists a number of methods for creating an inclined bed.6 For example , you can build your own wooden bed frame , or use leg risers or full-length foam wedges .
As you can see by the list above , people who have tried inclined bed therapy have reported improvements in a wide array of health problems .
When you consider the importance of blood circulation for the healing and regeneration of your body , this isn ’ t entirely surprising .
In her Nexus Magazine article , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and anecdotal evidence supporting the use of inclined bed therapy for conditions as varied as skin disorders and spinal cord injuries .
In a Micronesian study,7 inclined bed therapy was evaluated to see if it might benefit people with diabetes .
In conclusion , the researchers stated : “ [ S ] leeping on an inclined bed seems to help efficacy in reducing blood sugar levels with those who were dedicated to controlling their blood sugar levels .
Inclined bed therapy may not be effective alone … [ T ] o be successful @ @ @ @ @ @ @ need to incorporate sleeping on inclined beds with medication , taking some alternative remedies and changing lifestyles by eating a proper diet and doing enough exercise … ther problems including back pain , edema , difficulty sleeping , frequent night urination , snoring , morning light-headedness and pain in joints .
All participants claimed to have noticed an improvement in all these problems.
” Acid Reflux ?
Consider Raising the Head of Your Bed Acid reflux is another extremely common health problem that may be improved through inclined bed therapy .
Another term @ @ @ @ @ @ @ disease or GERD .
Two of the most common causes of acid reflux are having insufficient amounts of stomach acid and/or having a hiatal hernia — a condition in which a portion of your stomach passes through an opening in your diaphragm , which can cause complications in your esophagus .
It can also lead to GERD , a condition in which acid is coming out of your stomach , where it ’ s supposed to be .
There ’ s a valve between your stomach and your small intestine called the pyloric @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stomach refluxes over that valve , it causes symptoms that are very similar to that of acid reflux , heartburn being one of the primary ones .
Heartburn is a burning sensation that radiates up from your stomach to your chest and throat .
It occurs when food and stomach juices reflux up into your esophagus , which is the tube that leads from your throat to your stomach .
It ’ s typically most bothersome at night and tends to occur in connection with certain activities , such as eating a heavy @ @ @ @ @ @ @ heavy object , and lying down , especially when laying on your back .
While inclined bed therapy will not cure acid reflux , it may reduce the pain associated with lying down .
Among the success stories included in Hawke ’ s article is a man who , due to a spinal cord injury , had lost all control over his legs .
After incorporating inclined bed therapy with his other treatments , he was eventually able to walk between parallel bars .
Other success stories include a young girl with cerebral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ up for the first time after she ’ d used inclined bed therapy for eight months , and Terri , a woman with multiple sclerosis , who eventually improved to the point that she no longer needed drug therapy .
Hawke writes , “ In a 2015 radio interview , Terri reported that her neurologist had recently told her she would have no need for any further appointments as she was better .
He had never seen anyone in this situation get better.
” Interestingly , inclined bed therapy has even benefited people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the case of the latter , the woman reported “ instant relief ” after the first night .
According to Fletcher , results seem to suggest sleeping on an incline helps boost both metabolism and immune function , which could help explain some of these success stories .
Sleeping on an incline also affects intracranial pressure .
This was the conclusion of research done by medical anthropologist Sydney Singer .
Hawke writes:8 “ His research is based on a 10- to 30-degree elevation of the head , not the whole body , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effects of inclined sleeping on intracranial pressure , in particular research into sleep positions as a possible cause of migraines .
‘ To our amazement , we found that the majority of the migraineurs in our study experienced relief by this simple sleep position change !
Many had no new migraines , after being migraine sufferers for 30 or more years !
The results were very fast , within a few days .
And there were very interesting side effects , too .
Our volunteers woke up more alert .
Morning sinus congestion @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Some reported that they no longer had certain allergies.
’ ” According to Singer , sleeping on an incline may also benefit other brain conditions , including ADHD and Alzheimer ’ s .
Indeed , while not mentioned , it ’ s possible by altering the intracranial pressure you allow for improved glymphatic drainage .
It was long believed that the brain was unable to clean itself out , as the lymphatic system does not include the brain .
More recent research has proven this to be incorrect , showing the brain actually @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into your brain by piggybacking on blood vessels .
Amyloid-beta deposits and other toxins are cleaned out of your brain nightly during deep sleep .
This waste-removal system is now known as the glymphatic system .
By pumping cerebral spinal fluid through your brain 's tissues , your glymphatic system flushes waste from your brain back into your circulatory system and onto your liver for elimination .
Just about anything that hampers the efficient function of your glymphatic system will promote Alzheimer ’ s , by allowing waste to accumulate in your brain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ improving this brain detoxification would help prevent Alzheimer ’ s and other neurological dysfunction as well .
Are You Ready to Try Sleeping on an Incline ?
In addition to sleeping on my back with a pillow to support my neck ( opposed to my entire head ) , as recommended by chiropractor and exercise physiologist Dr. Peter Martone , I also changed my bedframe to one that allowed me to elevate the head of my bed to achieve a 5-degree incline .
While I have no health problems that would call for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ my sleep .
When you first start out , you may want to ease into it by raising the head of your bed just 3 inches .
Once you ’ re used to that , raise it to the recommended 6 inches .
Going up to 8 inches , which is the maximum recommended elevation , can be tricky , as you ’ ll start sliding quite a bit .
Also , be aware that in some cases you may experience muscle soreness and/or a stiff neck for the first week or two @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new position .

STORY AT-A-GLANCE
Raising the head of your bed 6 inches so that you’re sleeping on a 5-degree incline may improve your blood circulation, metabolism, respiratory, neurological and immune function
Inclined bed therapy may also ease symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s, diabetes, glaucoma, migraines, multiple sclerosis, sleep apnea, acid reflux, edema, varicose veins and more
In plants, the interplay between gravity and varying density of fluids is what causes the sap to circulate up and down in a perpetual loop. The same mechanism appears to apply to human biology as well, which is the basis for inclined bed therapy
Sleeping on an incline affects intracranial pressure. Research by a medical anthropologist showed people with migraines were able to eliminate their migraines within a short period of time by sleeping with their heads raised
Archeological evidence suggests some Egyptians slept on inclined beds, and the head on these beds was 6 inches higher than the foot end
Oftentimes the simplest strategies to pay great dividends. Getting sensible sun exposure and grounding to the Earth are two examples. Sleeping on an incline is another. While few have heard of it and sleeping on a horizontal surface is a well-established norm, raising the head of your bed 6 to 8 inches so that your you’re sleeping on a 5-degree incline may have a number of benefits, including:
Improving blood circulation
Boosting metabolism
Improving glymphatic drainage from the brain
Improving immune system function
Improving respiratory function
Easing symptoms associated with Alzheimer’s, diabetes, glaucoma, migraines, multiple sclerosis, sleep apnea, acid reflux, edema, varicose veins and more
The History of Inclined Bed Therapy
Inclined bed therapy was developed two decades ago by Andrew K. Fletcher,1 a British mechanical engineer said to have “an avid interest in how things work.”2 He stumbled upon the theory by studying the circulatory system of plants. In trees, gravity pulls the denser sap from the top of the tree downward, which then forces the more diluted sap at the bottom to rise upward.
In other words, the interplay between gravity and the varying density of fluids is what causes the sap, which delivers nutrients within the tree, to circulate up and down in a perpetual loop.
He wondered if the same mechanism applied to the human body, and experimentation and further research convinced him that it does. In the video above,3 Fletcher performs a simple kitchen demonstration to show how circulation is caused by density changes in fluids. In private correspondence with Nexus Magazine writer Jenny Hawke, Fletcher explained:4
“[C]irculation began long before the heart developed, and this primary circulation continues to assist the heart, providing we take the direction of gravity into account. It works on the principle that blood entering the capillary vessels in the lungs provides the water and carbon dioxide that we evaporate with each breath.
The blood, therefore, must become denser exiting the lungs, then passes through the heart and is injected back into the main artery, effectively adding denser blood to create a pulsatile flow predominantly down towards the kidneys… [T]he blood entering the venous return from the kidneys is always less dense than the arterial blood flowing to the kidneys. This was a Eureka moment of such magnitude it went off the scale for me and instantly gave birth to Inclined Bed Therapy.”
Proper Incline Position
Similar experimentation was used to determine the ideal incline, which he concluded was about 6 inches, or 5 degrees. In one experiment, varicose veins disappeared after four weeks of sleeping on a 6-inch incline, which he took as a sign that “a positive change in circulation” had been achieved. Interestingly, archeological evidence suggests some Egyptians slept on inclined beds,5 and a Boston Museum curator confirmed that the incline on one of these historical beds was in fact 6 inches.
Now, it’s important to note that sleeping on an incline is not the same as sleeping on an adjustable bed that allows you to raise the head while the lower portion remains horizontal. Fletcher stresses the importance of lying straight, but on an incline. You’re not looking to sleep in a sitting position where only your torso is lifted.
The alignment of your body is important, as you want your blood to circulate freely throughout your whole body and avoid stress on your hip joint. On his website, InclinedBedTherapy.com, Fletcher lists a number of methods for creating an inclined bed.6 For example, you can build your own wooden bed frame, or use leg risers or full-length foam wedges.
Inclined Bed Therapy for Diabetes
As you can see by the list above, people who have tried inclined bed therapy have reported improvements in a wide array of health problems. When you consider the importance of blood circulation for the healing and regeneration of your body, this isn’t entirely surprising. In her Nexus Magazine article, Hawke recounts a number of different tests and anecdotal evidence supporting the use of inclined bed therapy for conditions as varied as skin disorders and spinal cord injuries.
In a Micronesian study,7 inclined bed therapy was evaluated to see if it might benefit people with diabetes. In conclusion, the researchers stated:
“[S]leeping on an inclined bed seems to help efficacy in reducing blood sugar levels with those who were dedicated to controlling their blood sugar levels. Inclined bed therapy may not be effective alone … [T]o be successful … it is recommended that diabetic individuals need to incorporate sleeping on inclined beds with medication, taking some alternative remedies and changing lifestyles by eating a proper diet and doing enough exercise …
Interestingly, all participants listed other problems including back pain, edema, difficulty sleeping, frequent night urination, snoring, morning light-headedness and pain in joints. All participants claimed to have noticed an improvement in all these problems.”
Acid Reflux? Consider Raising the Head of Your Bed
Acid reflux is another extremely common health problem that may be improved through inclined bed therapy. Another term used for this condition is gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD. Two of the most common causes of acid reflux are having insufficient amounts of stomach acid and/or having a hiatal hernia — a condition in which a portion of your stomach passes through an opening in your diaphragm, which can cause complications in your esophagus.
It can also lead to GERD, a condition in which acid is coming out of your stomach, where it’s supposed to be. There’s a valve between your stomach and your small intestine called the pyloric valve. When the acid in your stomach refluxes over that valve, it causes symptoms that are very similar to that of acid reflux, heartburn being one of the primary ones. Heartburn is a burning sensation that radiates up from your stomach to your chest and throat.
It occurs when food and stomach juices reflux up into your esophagus, which is the tube that leads from your throat to your stomach. It’s typically most bothersome at night and tends to occur in connection with certain activities, such as eating a heavy meal, bending over or lifting a heavy object, and lying down, especially when laying on your back. While inclined bed therapy will not cure acid reflux, it may reduce the pain associated with lying down.
Success Stories
Among the success stories included in Hawke’s article is a man who, due to a spinal cord injury, had lost all control over his legs. After incorporating inclined bed therapy with his other treatments, he was eventually able to walk between parallel bars. Other success stories include a young girl with cerebral palsy who was also able to stand up for the first time after she’d used inclined bed therapy for eight months, and Terri, a woman with multiple sclerosis, who eventually improved to the point that she no longer needed drug therapy.
Hawke writes, “In a 2015 radio interview, Terri reported that her neurologist had recently told her she would have no need for any further appointments as she was better. He had never seen anyone in this situation get better.” Interestingly, inclined bed therapy has even benefited people with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. In the case of the latter, the woman reported “instant relief” after the first night.
According to Fletcher, results seem to suggest sleeping on an incline helps boost both metabolism and immune function, which could help explain some of these success stories. Sleeping on an incline also affects intracranial pressure. This was the conclusion of research done by medical anthropologist Sydney Singer. Hawke writes:8
“His research is based on a 10- to 30-degree elevation of the head, not the whole body, and some impressive results were found regarding the effects of inclined sleeping on intracranial pressure, in particular research into sleep positions as a possible cause of migraines.
‘To our amazement, we found that the majority of the migraineurs in our study experienced relief by this simple sleep position change! Many had no new migraines, after being migraine sufferers for 30 or more years! The results were very fast, within a few days. And there were very interesting side effects, too. Our volunteers woke up more alert. Morning sinus congestion was significantly reduced in most people. Some reported that they no longer had certain allergies.’”
Potential Brain Benefits
According to Singer, sleeping on an incline may also benefit other brain conditions, including ADHD and Alzheimer’s. Indeed, while not mentioned, it’s possible by altering the intracranial pressure you allow for improved glymphatic drainage. It was long believed that the brain was unable to clean itself out, as the lymphatic system does not include the brain.
More recent research has proven this to be incorrect, showing the brain actually has its own lymphatic system that gets into your brain by piggybacking on blood vessels. Amyloid-beta deposits and other toxins are cleaned out of your brain nightly during deep sleep. This waste-removal system is now known as the glymphatic system.
By pumping cerebral spinal fluid through your brain's tissues, your glymphatic system flushes waste from your brain back into your circulatory system and onto your liver for elimination. Just about anything that hampers the efficient function of your glymphatic system will promote Alzheimer’s, by allowing waste to accumulate in your brain, and it stands to reason that improving this brain detoxification would help prevent Alzheimer’s and other neurological dysfunction as well.
Are You Ready to Try Sleeping on an Incline?
In addition to sleeping on my back with a pillow to support my neck (opposed to my entire head), as recommended by chiropractor and exercise physiologist Dr. Peter Martone, I also changed my bedframe to one that allowed me to elevate the head of my bed to achieve a 5-degree incline. While I have no health problems that would call for this, I find it helps improve my sleep.
When you first start out, you may want to ease into it by raising the head of your bed just 3 inches. Once you’re used to that, raise it to the recommended 6 inches. Going up to 8 inches, which is the maximum recommended elevation, can be tricky, as you’ll start sliding quite a bit. Also, be aware that in some cases you may experience muscle soreness and/or a stiff neck for the first week or two until your body has adjusted to the new position.
Fletcher also recommends drinking more water than usual, as the elevation will decrease fluid retention and enhance urination. This also means your body’s waste removal will be enhanced, so more water is needed to help flush out toxins. Overall, I believe inclined bed therapy can be of all-around benefit for your health and is well worth a try.

(TMU) — As 60 million people in Italy face an unprecedented government-ordered quarantine in a bid to curb the spread of the coronavirus, people are struggling to keep their spirits high as they cope with what amounts to a house arrest affecting the entire nation.
Restaurants, cafes, bars, retail spaces, movie theaters, and museums remain shut down until at least March 25, with only grocery stores, pharmacies, and newsstands remaining accessible to the people of the Mediterranean nation.
Despite it all, residents of Italy’s cities have taken to their balconies, terraces, and windows to sing patriotic songs, the national anthem, and old folk tunes as a means to cope with the worst national emergency the country has faced since World War II.

Enjoy this channeling by Kryon from Reykjavik, Iceland on March 13, 2020. Kryon explains how the Coronavirus was created and how it is “the tip of the iceberg for planetary change… and a consciousness shift on the planet.”
Below is a partial transcript, starting at 13:40 into the video:
I want to tell you about a quotation from the prime minister or President or whatever you wish to call the one in charge of the country that had Chernobyl – it was the Soviet Union. Gorbachev made a statement. He said that Chernobyl was the catalyst for the fall of the Soviet Union, because when the people saw the deceit, when they saw that which is the lies and the fear, collectively, it could not sustain itself anymore. It was out of the bag. It was seen by millions.
I would like to tell you something about the virus right now which is causing so much trouble, so much fear, so much worry. There are viruses in nature, bacteria in nature, that stays with nature. The trees would have it, the animals would have it, and they don't apply to humans. Humans have their own set of viruses and bacterias that you work with. As humans on the planet,you deal with.
Gut occasionally, occasionally, there'll be a cross over from the animals to the humans, or sometimes even the plants to the humans. But it only happens because of human action. It never happens naturally. The virus you have did not happen naturally!
In the 1800's, you had the Black Death: the plague. Traced back of course to the fleas that were on the rats. And the rats which were living with the humans in unsanitary conditions with humans placed back to back with other humans. Even before you knew about washing your hands and germs, you know what happened.
Today is not the plague; today it's the flu. But it has the same attributes of having been caused by human action. What I'm going to say next is controversial. I will say a phrase many times: the virus is not political. The virus does what it does naturally.
And if you want to see a story that is told, all you have to do, carefully, is to see where the virus goes and where it came from. You are told that the virus occurred by itself. It did not! The virus comes from a bat that was studied in the most high-end, high-class, virology laboratory in China – Wuhan. It was there. They acknowledge it was there. It's part of the study; it's the derivative of SARS.
That is where the virus came from dear ones, and yet you're told that it didn't . Somehow it magically appeared in the area – not from the laboratory. But what happened next is so similar to Chernobyl. It's a hand burn that you should see and know about. Those who were affected in the area were in a civilization that lives together five, six in a room, who doesn't practice the same kind of health issues that you do in, the same ways that you do. And of course they were infected immediately, and they started dying because they did not have the protection that so many of you do in your societies.
And what the government said is: you're not dying. Pay no attention to the bodies that you see on the street. That didn't last long. That area lost as many human beings tragically, sorrowfully, as the United States lost in 9/11. And the government denied it, and they were afraid to admit it. And they said, well it didn't come from here and they kept dying and dying. Finally there was no way that they could halt that which was known by the news, by others who reported it, and it got out. And even today, the scientists will tell you and the government's will tell you well it did not come from the laboratory.
Pretend you have a city with a giant smokestack. One day you wake up and there's smoke everywhere. And you are told well there may be smoke here, but of course it didn't come from the smokestack. And that is exactly what they're saying. It came from the lab accidentally. It was released for some of the same reasons that the government that sponsored Chernobyl had flaws. And this will be known, and this will be seen. And history will show it. And so what is taking place today, with all of the finger-pointing, has to do with human action, carelessness, deceit, and fear.
Dear ones, it will be contained! It will be solved. The hand burning, if you want to say that, of this planet will be remembered.
Oh, but there's more. Follow the virus. There is a secret I am NOT going to reveal for the secret is to be revealed by the whistleblowers, by those who will know things in the years to come or sooner. It will cause a revelation. And when it does, dear ones, there are perhaps two governments that may fall or change dramatically because their people will see finally the repression, the fear, the lack of openness, and start to change those things on Earth that you thought would never be changed because of this virus.
There is a big secret. A hint for you is this a virus is not political, a virus doesn't lie. If you follow the infection schedule, at the very beginning, you will find that besides China there was one other country far far away that immediately was infected with hundreds, even the top echelon. Go find it.
Is there a connection. Is there a follow the dots. A virus is not political. That there is something bigger even than you think that was brewing here. And when it is revealed and the secrets are known, the government's who are responsible may very well not survive
This is the tip of the iceberg for planetary change and it has nothing to do with health, but everything to do with consciousness shift on the planet. You will get through this dear ones, and it will be contained dear ones. And you'll remember it and you'll never want this to happen again. And when you find out how it truly happened, that's when things will change…
Go from this place wiser, changed and aware that this planet is starting to work in your favor: two steps forward one step back. You're in the step back right now. It will get better! And so it is.
