Trees have a surprisingly complex range of electrical activity and rhythms. They clearly have circadian rhythms and other slower rhythms as well as other activity that changes faster. They are coupled in part to electrical potentials that we see waxing and waning with the sun and moon’s gravitational pull on the earth.

Another rather amazing observation has been that some of the longer-term trends in tree recordings seem to respond to the approach of earthquakes. NASA Ames scientist Friedemann Freund, with whom we are collaborating, has developed a theory that explains how rocks deep in the earth act as batteries when they are stressed by tectonic forces preceding earthquakes. The theory also explains how the electrical charge carriers that flow through the rocks appear to cause a response in the electrical activity of trees.
Amazingly, the tree potential changes occur well before the earthquakes actually happen. It may very well be that trees will end up playing the role of low-cost sensors that can help predict when larger earthquakes are about to occur. With additional funding, we hope to be able to expand this line of research and set up a network of tree-monitoring sites and create a website that provides the public with live data from a grove of redwood tress with which they can try to interact energetically anytime they like.

The Average Person Will Watch Over 78,000 Hours Of Television “Programming” Over The Course Of A Lifetime

If you want to waste your life , a great way to do that is to spend tens of thousands of hours watching television .
Today , it is so difficult to get people to leave their homes and get active in their communities , because most of us are absolutely glued to one screen or another .
After a long day at school or a hard day at work , most of us understandably want to relax , and from a very early age most of us have been trained to turn to the television as our main source @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is great danger in allowing anyone to pump thousands upon thousands of hours of “ programming ” into our minds .
More than 90 percent of the “ programming ” that we consume is controlled by just a handful of exceedingly powerful corporations , and those corporations are owned by the elite of the world .

But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of it ?

As I was doing some research the other day, a comment that someone posted on an Internet message board really struck a chord with me
As a kid life seems so amazing and you can dream of big things and have faith. The older you get it seems the world tries to take away your faith. I have had 8 jobs in my life starting in high school and I’m just sick of this ****. I’m lucky to make 100 a day . I know that’s poverty level. But I manage. But thinking ahead I have to do this every day for the next 30 years . How the hell do you guys and gals cope with reality. I’m on empty. I want out.
In just a few sentences, this individual summed up what millions upon millions of Americans are feeling.
The harsh realities of modern society have absolutely sucked the life out of so many people around us, and the vast majority of Americans are barely getting by and are living lives of quiet desperation.
If television allows them to forget about their troubles for a while, it is understandable why so many use it as a crutch.
But do we have to watch so much of it? One recent survey found that the average adult will watch more than 78,000 hours of television over the course of a lifetime…
Television has become such a common part of all of our lives that most don’t even think about just how much time they spend staring at their TV screen. Of course, all of those hours are undoubtedly adding up, and a recent survey of 2,000 British adults finds that the average TV viewer will watch an astounding 78,705 hours of programming (movies, sports, news, etc) in their lifetime. That’s a whole lot of screen time that may have been better spent on more productive endeavors. On a day-to-day basis, the average adult watches TV for three-and-a-half hours, amounting to 1,248 hours each year.
I know that some of my readers will point out that this was a British survey, but the truth is that Americans actually watch even more television. The following comes from Wikipedia…
In the US, there is an estimated 119.9 million TV households in the TV season 2018/19. In 2017 alone, an average U.S. consumer spent 238 minutes (3h 58min) daily watching TV.
Those numbers are absolutely staggering. And when you break them down further they become even more alarming. In the first survey that I mentioned above, the researchers actually discovered that the average person “will watch 11,278 different TV series”…
The survey, commissioned by LG Electronics, broke down those numbers even further and concluded that the average adult these days will watch 3,639 movies at home, and 31,507 episodes of TV during their lifespan. As far as different programs, the average person will watch 11,278 different TV series as well.
Are there really 11,278 television series worth watching?
I would think that you would have to go really deep into the well to watch that many, but apparently that is what many people are doing.
Of course I am not entirely against television. For example, I think that “Poldark” is an absolute masterpiece. But everything should be done in moderation.
The fact that we are endlessly watching so much television could help to explain why our society has become so “dumbed down”. Yesterday, I discussed a recent study that found that 15-year-old U.S. students are about four grade levels behind 15-year-old Chinese students in math.
I bet those Chinese students are spending a lot more time studying and a lot less time watching television.
At this point, America has truly become an “idiocracy”.
For example, have you heard what the hottest new toy for this holiday season is?
It is actually a “fart launcher” that allows children to blast foul smelling air at one another. The following comes from the New York Post…
Toy insiders and wincing parents tell The Post that the Buttheads Fart Launcher 3000 — a Nerf gun-like gadget that shoots farts instead of darts — is topping off kids’ wish lists this year. “This is my worst nightmare,” mom Angie Wong, the 42-year-old founder of the private Facebook group Brooklyn Moms, tells The Post. She recently caved and got the gas-blasting gizmo for her 5-year-old son, Will, and 7-year-old daughter, Maddie. “I can see that thing [being] used on my face one unsuspecting morning.”
Of course a “fart launcher” is not the end of the world, but as I document regularly in my articles, there are literally thousands of signs that the fabric of our society is coming apart all around us.
If our society continues to degenerate at this rate, there is only one way that our story can end.
Sadly, most people seem to think that everything is going to be just fine, because that is what their televisions are telling them to think.
Most of us are willingly plugging ourselves into “the matrix” for multiple hours every day, and so it shouldn’t be a surprise that most of us see the world the way that the elite want us to see it.
If you want to start making positive changes in your life, breaking free of your addictions is one of the most important things that you can do.
And at this point, for many Americans watching television is one of the most insidious addictions of all.

By Mike Walsh,
Throughout Russia and indeed a further 25 countries in the developed world, Monsanto produced arable foodstuffs have been contaminated by Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) contamination. The American-based Institute for Responsible Technology has published online 10 very sound reasons for avoiding (if you can) food products contaminated by GMO.
Typically: ‘The American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM) urges doctors to prescribe non-GMO diets for all patients. They cite animal studies showing organ damage, gastrointestinal and immune system disorders, accelerated ageing, and infertility.
Human studies show how genetically modified (GM) food can leave material behind inside us, possibly causing long-term problems. Genes inserted into GM soy, for example, can transfer into the DNA of bacteria living inside us, and that the toxic insecticide produced by GM corn was found in the blood of pregnant women and their unborn fetuses.
Numerous health problems increased after GMO were introduced in 1996. The percentage of Americans with three or more chronic illnesses jumped from 7% to 13% in just 9 years; food allergies skyrocketed, and disorders such as autism, reproductive disorders, digestive problems, and others are on the rise.
Although there is not sufficient research to confirm that GMOs are a contributing factor, doctors groups such as the AAEM tell us not to wait before we start protecting ourselves, and especially our children who are most at risk.
To protect its environment from the self-replicating pollution of GMO plants, Hungary has set fire to 500 hectares of GM corn, according to LaJos Bognar, Hungary’s Minister of Rural Development.
The planting of genetically modified crops is currently illegal in Hungary, and in 26 other countries around the world. Moreover, in at least 50 countries, GMO are required to be labelled.
Meanwhile, in America, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) disallowed GMO labelling and is promoting the continued commercialization of genetically modified crops. Monsanto has entrenched itself within the American political and legal systems, influencing politicians to sell out the environment for profit.
Most American farmers using GMO don’t even know what they are, or why people don’t want them in their food. All they hear from the biotech industries are lies about greater profits and greater yields. The truth is, GM crop yields have in fact fallen, while giving rise to super weeds that herbicides can’t touch. The soil has been rendered sterile with glyphosate, and farmers are left holding the short end of the stick.
Hungary’s actions in burning its GMO fields are necessary because of the sinister nature of GM crops. These plants do not just directly pose a threat to consumers of food products, the more dangerous part is that their altered genetic code is inherently self-replicating and could spread uncontrollably, infecting plants with altered DNA.
The artificial modifications in their genetic material have the potential to spread through the environment and become as uncontrollable as a plague of locusts, a threat that Monsanto has tried to understate.
The only way to permanently kill it is fire. Fire burns organic material, destroys the artificial DNA and prevents it from creeping into healthy, non-GMO plants. Would we ever see the day when a U.S. court orders a GMO corn field burned in America? Remember, if the courts and the legislature won’t listen, the people will one day find a way to get it done on their own.
The scientists who create engineered DNA may one day face a disaster they have not foreseen, because the arrogant and foolish corporations who hire them think they’re smarter than Mother Nature and God; a disaster that could very have been prevented, if only if GMO is universally outlawed as anti-environment and anti-human.

prepareforchange--2020-01-18--Google’s true origin partly lies in CIA and NSA research grants

Two decades ago , the US intelligence community worked closely with Silicon Valley in an effort to track citizens in cyberspace .
And Google is at the heart of that origin story .
Some of the research that led to Google ’ s ambitious creation was funded and coordinated by a research group established by the intelligence community to find ways to track individuals and groups online .
The intelligence community hoped that the nation ’ s leading computer scientists could take non-classified information and user data , combine it with what would become known as the internet , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to suit the needs of both the intelligence community and the public .
They hoped to direct the supercomputing revolution from the start in order to make sense of what millions of human beings did inside this digital information network .
That collaboration has made a comprehensive public-private mass surveillance state possible today .
The story of the deliberate creation of the modern mass-surveillance state includes elements of Google ’ s surprising , and largely unknown , origin .
It is a somewhat different creation story than the one the public has heard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Brin and Larry Page set out to build , and why .
But this isn ’ t just the origin story of Google : It ’ s the origin story of the mass-surveillance state , and the government money that funded it .
In the mid 1990s , the intelligence community in America began to realize that they had an opportunity .
The supercomputing community was just beginning to migrate from university settings into the private sector , led by investments from a place that would come to be known as Silicon Valley @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Silicon Valley ’ s efforts at their inception so they would be useful for homeland security purposes .
A digital revolution was underway : one that would transform the world of data gathering and how we make sense of massive amounts of information .
The intelligence community wanted to shape Silicon Valley ’ s supercomputing efforts at their inception so they would be useful for both military and homeland security purposes .
Could this supercomputing network , which would become capable of storing terabytes of information , make intelligent sense of the digital @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Answering this question was of great interest to the intelligence community .
Intelligence-gathering may have been their world , but the Central Intelligence Agency ( CIA ) and the National Security Agency ( NSA ) had come to realize that their future was likely to be profoundly shaped outside the government .
It was at a time when military and intelligence budgets within the Clinton administration were in jeopardy , and the private sector had vast resources at their disposal .
If the intelligence community wanted to conduct mass surveillance for national security @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the government and the emerging supercomputing companies .
To do this , they began reaching out to the scientists at American universities who were creating this supercomputing revolution .
These scientists were developing ways to do what no single group of human beings sitting at work stations in the NSA and the CIA could ever hope to do : gather huge amounts of data and make intelligent sense of it .
There was already a long history of collaboration between America ’ s best scientists and the intelligence community , from the creation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to efforts to put a man on the moon .
The internet itself was created because of an intelligence effort .
In fact , the internet itself was created because of an intelligence effort : In the 1970s , the agency responsible for developing emerging technologies for military , intelligence , and national security purposes—the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ( DARPA ) —linked four supercomputers to handle massive data transfers .
It handed the operations off to the National Science Foundation ( NSF ) a decade or so later , which proliferated @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , eventually , the public , thus creating the architecture and scaffolding of the World Wide Web .
Silicon Valley was no different .
By the mid 1990s , the intelligence community was seeding funding to the most promising supercomputing efforts across academia , guiding the creation of efforts to make massive amounts of information useful for both the private sector as well as the intelligence community .
They funded these computer scientists through an unclassified , highly compartmentalized program that was managed for the CIA and the NSA by large military and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Massive Digital Data Systems ( MDDS ) project .
MDDS was introduced to several dozen leading computer scientists at Stanford , CalTech , MIT , Carnegie Mellon , Harvard , and others in a white paper that described what the CIA , NSA , DARPA , and other agencies hoped to achieve .
The research would largely be funded and managed by unclassified science agencies like NSF , which would allow the architecture to be scaled up in the private sector if it managed to achieve what the intelligence community hoped for .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ complex , but changing demands require that the IC [ Intelligence Community ] process different types as well as larger volumes of data , ” the intelligence community said in its 1993 MDDS white paper .
“ Consequently , the IC is taking a proactive role in stimulating research in the efficient management of massive databases and ensuring that IC requirements can be incorporated or adapted into commercial products .

This process is perfectly suited for the purposes of counter-terrorism and homeland security efforts : Human beings and like-minded groups who might pose a threat to national security can be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
This explains why the intelligence community found Brin ’ s and Page ’ s research efforts so appealing ; prior to this time , the CIA largely used human intelligence efforts in the field to identify people and groups that might pose threats .

By Jeff Nesbit, Originally
Two decades ago, the US intelligence community worked closely with Silicon Valley in an effort to track citizens in cyberspace. And Google is at the heart of that origin story. Some of the research that led to Google’s ambitious creation was funded and coordinated by a research group established by the intelligence community to find ways to track individuals and groups online.
The intelligence community hoped that the nation’s leading computer scientists could take non-classified information and user data, combine it with what would become known as the internet, and begin to create for-profit, commercial enterprises to suit the needs of both the intelligence community and the public. They hoped to direct the supercomputing revolution from the start in order to make sense of what millions of human beings did inside this digital information network. That collaboration has made a comprehensive public-private mass surveillance state possible today.
The story of the deliberate creation of the modern mass-surveillance state includes elements of Google’s surprising, and largely unknown, origin. It is a somewhat different creation story than the one the public has heard, and explains what Google cofounders Sergey Brin and Larry Page set out to build, and why.
But this isn’t just the origin story of Google: It’s the origin story of the mass-surveillance state, and the government money that funded it.
Backstory: The intelligence community and Silicon Valley
In the mid 1990s, the intelligence community in America began to realize that they had an opportunity. The supercomputing community was just beginning to migrate from university settings into the private sector, led by investments from a place that would come to be known as Silicon Valley.
The intelligence community wanted to shape Silicon Valley’s efforts at their inception so they would be useful for homeland security purposes.
A digital revolution was underway: one that would transform the world of data gathering and how we make sense of massive amounts of information. The intelligence community wanted to shape Silicon Valley’s supercomputing efforts at their inception so they would be useful for both military and homeland security purposes. Could this supercomputing network, which would become capable of storing terabytes of information, make intelligent sense of the digital trail that human beings leave behind?
Answering this question was of great interest to the intelligence community.
Intelligence-gathering may have been their world, but the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the National Security Agency (NSA) had come to realize that their future was likely to be profoundly shaped outside the government. It was at a time when military and intelligence budgets within the Clinton administration were in jeopardy, and the private sector had vast resources at their disposal. If the intelligence community wanted to conduct mass surveillance for national security purposes, it would require cooperation between the government and the emerging supercomputing companies.
To do this, they began reaching out to the scientists at American universities who were creating this supercomputing revolution. These scientists were developing ways to do what no single group of human beings sitting at work stations in the NSA and the CIA could ever hope to do: gather huge amounts of data and make intelligent sense of it.
A rich history of the government’s science funding
There was already a long history of collaboration between America’s best scientists and the intelligence community, from the creation of the atomic bomb and satellite technology to efforts to put a man on the moon.
The internet itself was created because of an intelligence effort.
In fact, the internet itself was created because of an intelligence effort: In the 1970s, the agency responsible for developing emerging technologies for military, intelligence, and national security purposes—the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA)—linked four supercomputers to handle massive data transfers. It handed the operations off to the National Science Foundation (NSF) a decade or so later, which proliferated the network across thousands of universities and, eventually, the public, thus creating the architecture and scaffolding of the World Wide Web.
Silicon Valley was no different. By the mid 1990s, the intelligence community was seeding funding to the most promising supercomputing efforts across academia, guiding the creation of efforts to make massive amounts of information useful for both the private sector as well as the intelligence community.
They funded these computer scientists through an unclassified, highly compartmentalized program that was managed for the CIA and the NSA by large military and intelligence contractors. It was called the Massive Digital Data Systems (MDDS) project.
The Massive Digital Data Systems (MDDS) project
MDDS was introduced to several dozen leading computer scientists at Stanford, CalTech, MIT, Carnegie Mellon, Harvard, and others in a white paper that described what the CIA, NSA, DARPA, and other agencies hoped to achieve. The research would largely be funded and managed by unclassified science agencies like NSF, which would allow the architecture to be scaled up in the private sector if it managed to achieve what the intelligence community hoped for.
“Not only are activities becoming more complex, but changing demands require that the IC [Intelligence Community] process different types as well as larger volumes of data,” the intelligence community said in its 1993 MDDS white paper. “Consequently, the IC is taking a proactive role in stimulating research in the efficient management of massive databases and ensuring that IC requirements can be incorporated or adapted into commercial products. Because the challenges are not unique to any one agency, the Community Management Staff (CMS) has commissioned a Massive Digital Data Systems [MDDS] Working Group to address the needs and to identify and evaluate possible solutions.”
Over the next few years, the program’s stated aim was to provide more than a dozen grants of several million dollars each to advance this research concept. The grants were to be directed largely through the NSF so that the most promising, successful efforts could be captured as intellectual property and form the basis of companies attracting investments from Silicon Valley. This type of public-to-private innovation system helped launch powerful science and technology companies like Qualcomm, Symantec, Netscape, and others, and funded the pivotal research in areas like Doppler radar and fiber optics, which are central to large companies like AccuWeather, Verizon, and AT&T today. Today, the NSF provides nearly 90% of all federal funding for university-based computer-science research.
The CIA and NSA’s end goal
The research arms of the CIA and NSA hoped that the best computer-science minds in academia could identify what they called “birds of a feather:” Just as geese fly together in large V shapes, or flocks of sparrows make sudden movements together in harmony, they predicted that like-minded groups of humans would move together online. The intelligence community named their first unclassified briefing for scientists the “birds of a feather” briefing, and the “Birds of a Feather Session on the Intelligence Community Initiative in Massive Digital Data Systems” took place at the Fairmont Hotel in San Jose in the spring of 1995.

Could their queries be linked and ranked in order of importance? Could “birds of a feather” be identified inside this sea of information so that communities and groups could be tracked in an organized way?
By working with emerging commercial-data companies, their intent was to track like-minded groups of people across the internet and identify them from the digital fingerprints they left behind, much like forensic scientists use fingerprint smudges to identify criminals. Just as “birds of a feather flock together,” they predicted that potential terrorists would communicate with each other in this new global, connected world—and they could find them by identifying patterns in this massive amount of new information. Once these groups were identified, they could then follow their digital trails everywhere.
Sergey Brin and Larry Page, computer-science boy wonders

Brin didn’t work for the intelligence community—or for anyone else. Google had not yet been incorporated. He was just a Stanford researcher taking advantage of the grant provided by the NSA and CIA through the unclassified MDDS program.
Left out of Google’s story
The MDDS research effort has never been part of Google’s origin story, even though the principal investigator for the MDDS grant specifically named Google as directly resulting from their research: “Its core technology, which allows it to find pages far more accurately than other search engines, was partially supported by this grant,” he wrote. In a published research paper that includes some of Brin’s pivotal work, the authors also reference the NSF grant that was created by the MDDS program.

To understand this significance, you have to consider what the intelligence community was trying to achieve as it seeded grants to the best computer-science minds in academia: The CIA and NSA funded an unclassified, compartmentalized program designed from its inception to spur the development of something that looks almost exactly like Google. Brin’s breakthrough research on page ranking by tracking user queries and linking them to the many searches conducted—essentially identifying “birds of a feather”—was largely the aim of the intelligence community’s MDDS program. And Google succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.
The intelligence community’s enduring legacy within Silicon Valley
Digital privacy concerns over the intersection between the intelligence community and commercial technology giants have grown in recent years. But most people still don’t understand the degree to which the intelligence community relies on the world’s biggest science and tech companies for its counter-terrorism and national-security work.
Civil-liberty advocacy groups have aired their privacy concerns for years, especially as they now relate to the Patriot Act. “Hastily passed 45 days after 9/11 in the name of national security, the Patriot Act was the first of many changes to surveillance laws that made it easier for the government to spy on ordinary Americans by expanding the authority to monitor phone and email communications, collect bank and credit reporting records, and track the activity of innocent Americans on the Internet,” says the ACLU. “While most Americans think it was created to catch terrorists, the Patriot Act actually turns regular citizens into suspects.”

I Am Divine Love
I Am fixed design by me, the Soul”
Visualize your soul star chakra lights up with brilliant white light. Visualize this light in the form of a vortex spiraling down clearing your energy field.
Visualize a 5-pointed star being placed high in the sky about 9 miles above the areas affected by earthquakes at Puerto Rico. See this star glistening high above the chosen location, shining brilliant white light.
Now visualize the White Fire of AN emanating from the Galactic Central Sun, going through all points of light within our solar system and through the 5-pointed star, through the areas affected by earthquakes at Puerto Rico and deep into the center of the earth. Keep visualizing this pillar for a few minutes.
Visualize the tip of a brilliant vortex of white light spiraling down clockwise from the 5-pointed star, removing and transmuting all low vibrations, dark entities, and dark energies and carrying them up to the 5-pointed star for transmutation. Visualize this vortex of spinning white light for a few minutes.
Visualize this Buddhic Column fully linked to all Buddhic Columns on the planet, to the planetary network of Light below, above and on the surface of the planet, and any point of Light as guided by the Ascended Beings, all connected together with this Buddhic Column at the 5 pointed star in the network of brilliant white light.
Now, in the name of Source, in the name of I AM Presence of eternal light. We declare and command that the Buddhic Column at the areas affected by earthquakes at Puerto Rico is now complete on all planes as guided by Source.
If you feel guided, you may also include this in the Emergency Meditation daily at 2 PM UTC.

Any person who has giggled at a private joke with friends will understand the benefits of laughter. It can reduce stress, release endorphins, improve a person’s overall mood, and even act as a coping mechanism for daily functioning – all of this by merely laughing.
Mental Benefits Of Laughter
If you have ever doubled-over with laughter, you’ll probably agree that laughing has physical effects. The tightening of the abdominal muscles when laughing is similar to intentional exercising. However, laughter benefits us in not only a physical but also a mental capacity.
Reducing Stress Hormones
Researchers at Loma Linda University found that positive emotions and laughter lowers the level of cortisol, dopamine and epinephrine or adrenaline in the body. Reducing the levels of these hormones contributes to a stronger immune system, which means you’ll experience fewer effects of stress.
Releases Endorphins
One of the most well-known benefits of laughter is the release of endorphins. Commonly referred to as the “happy hormone”, endorphins can improve mood. An article published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences found that endorphin release is associated with physical activity; therefore, the release is triggered by the physical act of laughter. Researchers also wrote that laughter in subjects reduced pain thresholds, causing an increase in their ability to withstand pain.
Can Help Improve Uncomfortable Or Depressed Mood
In addition to the several short-term benefits of laughter, laughing can have many long-term effects such as improving a person’s mood. A person experiences depression when their levels of dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine – neurotransmitters in the brain – are reduced. However, laughter increases the levels of dopamine by secreting endorphins in the brain; therefore, improving a person’s overall mood. Psychologists refer to this as laughter therapy to reduce feelings of depression or anxiety. It is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that does not use medication and is non-invasive.
Laughter As A Coping Skill
Similar to crying, laughing is an innate or inborn skill for all people. If you consider children, they will laugh at almost anything, particularly as infants. Laughing at our embarrassing or stressful situations can be difficult; however, laughter can be a useful coping skill
Practicing Laughter
While laughing is a natural skill, not all people laugh each day. In fact, it is possible for people to exist for months without laughing. To ensure you reap the benefits of laughter, it is important to practice laughing regularly using different approaches. Using mind over matter, you can manifest laughter by merely thinking about a joyful event that brought happiness to your life. By visualizing this event in your mind’s eye, your spirit will be uplifted, and a smile (perhaps even laughter) can be experienced.
Another means of practicing laughter as a coping skill is by laughing at yourself. You may wonder why a person would laugh at themselves when having other people laugh at them can be stressful. Research found that people placed in uncomfortable situations experience high levels of stress. Laughter can reduce the release of stress hormones and improve a person’s overall mood, making them feel more relaxed in negative settings. To learn how to laugh in these situations, therapists encourage patients to practice laughing daily. This can be done by interacting with friends and family, watching entertaining television shows or reading a good book.
Laughter Yoga
Have you heard of the phrase: fake it until you make it? This is the core of laughter yoga. The primary premise is to laugh for no reason but to experience the benefits of laughter.
Laughter yoga was developed by Dr. Madan Kataria, a family physician from Mumbai, India, during the mid-1990s. He was searching for a coping mechanism to deal with the stress of living in an over-populated city and decided to attempt laughter therapy. Dr. Kataria gathered a group of people to share jokes and enjoy laughter; however, he found that people would laugh even if they did not find the jokes humorous. Realizing the laughter was contagious, Dr. Kataria developed laughter techniques implementing breathing exercises.
Unlike traditional yoga practices where breathing exercises are used through physical postures, laughter yoga promotes breathing exercises between laughter activities. The use of yogic breathing assists in relaxing the mind and body. As you deepen and steady your breathing, all tension is removed from your body. When the body relaxes, the mind mirrors the de-stressed state, and you become aware of your present situation. According to yoga theory, being aware of the present removes regrets of the past and any concerns of the future.
As well as relaxing the body and mind, laughter yoga offers physical and psychological health benefits. Using deep breathing exercises, a person’s lung capacity increases and oxygen is delivered to all parts of the body, specifically the brain. Laughter exercises increase the levels of endorphins; therefore, reducing feelings of depression. Laughter exercises also improve the blood supply to internal organs promoting the functioning of a person’s digestive tract.
Laughter Clubs
Laughter clubs involve gatherings of individuals with the aim of laughing to reduce feelings of stress. The first laughter club was formed in Mumbai, India by Dr. Kataria; however, these clubs can now be found across the globe in over 65 countries. Any person can join a laughter club, regardless of your age, fitness level or cognitive abilities. In fact, you don’t need to have a sense of humor, be happy or even be in a good mood to take part.

Mark Twain said that the human race has only one effective weapon, and that is laughter. By using this “weapon”, whether it is through a laughter club or recalling a pleasant memory, you can reap the benefits of laughter.

prepareforchange--2020-01-19--Absorb Vortex Energy Wherever You Go!

Absorb Vortex Energy Wherever You Go!

As spiritual seekers , Light workers , and healers , we have the added pleasure of tuning in for a few brief moments , wherever we are , and noticing the energy of a location .
What vibrations do we feel ?
What new or otherworldly sound frequencies are we being treated to ?
How is the nature energy different from the last place we breathed in ?
What colors do our eyes see and how is that Ray of Light changing our consciousness ?
Vortices are everywhere on our planet .
As we walk around , we can feel @ @ @ @ @ @ @ different areas – maybe a little dizzy in one place , maybe an immense wave of love comes to our heart chakra in another place , and so on .
How can we learn more about Vortex energy and the increased Source Love vibration we may be experiencing ?
In the book , “ New Cells , New Bodies , New Life !
” by Virginia Essene and a group of other master channelers , Chapter 8 is a channeled article by Norman titled “ Nova 8.
” Perhaps this brief summary of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ some wisdom insights about Vortex energy on our planet .
A Vortex is a spiraling stream of energy , a great arc of multicolored LIGHT patterns , that corkscrews back and forth along an interstellar pathway ( like a cosmic highway ) from our earth planet and back to Source again .
There are 13 major vortex spirals converging on Earth , and where they intersect with each other , we will find sacred sites created by intuitive humans in ancient times .
Each vortex contains a specific encoding of LIGHT – it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the evolution of Christ Consciousness on the planet .
Twelve of the vortices are individually different , carrying one full spectrum of expression from Source .
The thirteenth vortex carries all encodings of planetary cycles , past and present along with the activation codes for the ascension of our planet into the higher dimensions ( above 3D ) .
As previously mentioned , each vortex contains a set of codes – a blueprint – that is a specific expression of Source creativity and love on this planet .
Every soul is also encoded @ @ @ @ @ @ @ when that soul being walks into that same vortex energy , it is a lovely download of soul wisdom from that Light projection .
A person who walks in a place on terra firma that has the influx of one of the 13 Vortex energies will gain essential understandings of the blueprints for our planet .
If that person is drawn to a place that feels incredibly harmonious , it is possible that the person has discovered their resonant Vortex – the one that vibrates out the blueprint for one ’ s role @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for their own soul evolution .
Have you noticed that people seem to be moving from their homes , their long-time locations and re-planting themselves in all-new locations ?
Perhaps this is something you have recently done , or your are considering uprooting and resettling in an area that seems to be ‘ calling your heart.
’ People who are in harmony with their soul path ( even if that is on a deeply subconscious level ) will begin to find themselves magnetized to the area where the vortex energy flow is in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they arrive there , it becomes a time of increased life satisfaction and joy of being-ness on the planet .
As you travel , you have the option to choose to be conscious of the vibrations , frequencies , colors , and nature energies around you .
All of the vortex energies are supportive in different and amazing ways , and feeling those Light encodings will add to your inner soul journey .
As you pay attention to the subtle signals in each new place , you may find that you are energized @ @ @ @ @ @ @ specific location over other locations .
Who knows ?
That may be your resonating vortex Ray of Light !
Enjoy it and let it wash over you and through you – feel free to absorb as much of that Light frequency as you want .
It will only add to your ‘ peace ’ meter .

What colors do our eyes see and how is that Ray of Light changing our consciousness?
Vortex – Specific Ray of Light
Vortices are everywhere on our planet. As we walk around, we can feel changes in ourselves as we walk in different areas – maybe a little dizzy in one place, maybe an immense wave of love comes to our heart chakra in another place, and so on.
How can we learn more about Vortex energy and the increased Source Love vibration we may be experiencing? In the book, “New Cells, New Bodies, New Life!” by Virginia Essene and a group of other master channelers, Chapter 8 is a channeled article by Norman titled “Nova 8.” Perhaps this brief summary of Nova 8’s information will provide some wisdom insights about Vortex energy on our planet.
A Vortex is a spiraling stream of energy, a great arc of multicolored LIGHT patterns, that corkscrews back and forth along an interstellar pathway (like a cosmic highway) from our earth planet and back to Source again.
There are 13 major vortex spirals converging on Earth, and where they intersect with each other, we will find sacred sites created by intuitive humans in ancient times.
Each vortex contains a specific encoding of LIGHT – it has a specific purpose and role in the evolution of Christ Consciousness on the planet. Twelve of the vortices are individually different, carrying one full spectrum of expression from Source. The thirteenth vortex carries all encodings of planetary cycles, past and present along with the activation codes for the ascension of our planet into the higher dimensions (above 3D).
Each Soul matches a Ray of Light Vortex
As previously mentioned, each vortex contains a set of codes – a blueprint – that is a specific expression of Source creativity and love on this planet. Every soul is also encoded with one of these expressions, and when that soul being walks into that same vortex energy, it is a lovely download of soul wisdom from that Light projection.
A person who walks in a place on terra firma that has the influx of one of the 13 Vortex energies will gain essential understandings of the blueprints for our planet. If that person is drawn to a place that feels incredibly harmonious, it is possible that the person has discovered their resonant Vortex – the one that vibrates out the blueprint for one’s role in the planetary cycle of ascension and for their own soul evolution.
Have you noticed that people seem to be moving from their homes, their long-time locations and re-planting themselves in all-new locations? Perhaps this is something you have recently done, or your are considering uprooting and resettling in an area that seems to be ‘calling your heart.’
People who are in harmony with their soul path (even if that is on a deeply subconscious level) will begin to find themselves magnetized to the area where the vortex energy flow is in harmony with their soul expression. As they arrive there, it becomes a time of increased life satisfaction and joy of being-ness on the planet.
As you travel, you have the option to choose to be conscious of the vibrations, frequencies, colors, and nature energies around you.
All of the vortex energies are supportive in different and amazing ways, and feeling those Light encodings will add to your inner soul journey.
As you pay attention to the subtle signals in each new place, you may find that you are energized more, drawn more, to a specific location over other locations. Who knows? That may be your resonating vortex Ray of Light! Enjoy it and let it wash over you and through you – feel free to absorb as much of that Light frequency as you want. It will only add to your ‘peace’ meter.
