Meditation

The Spirit of SELFhood in the NOW is always a grand saying.

Live in the NOW.

Enjoy the NOW

Live in the Present

YOU are your yesterdays, todays and the tomorrows so it is

hard and not so hard to stay in the NOW>

Today this Blog will be visiting the book by Eckhart Tolle,

“Practicing “The Power of NOW” – and all of his enlighten on

of the subject of staying in the NOW.

“When your consciousness is directed outward, mind and world

arise.

When it is directed inward, it realizes its own Source and returns

home into the Unmanifested”

But, this website is about manifested mind and YOU and YOUR

source.

Tolle does speak of “end the delusion of time and that time and

mind is inseparable. Remove time from mind and it stops.

Which is true when you sit and meditate – YOU should be able to

feel that time has stopped. Tolle does say the more you are

focused on time – past and future – the more you miss the NOW,

the most precious thing there is.

I try to live in the NOW – on my own terms but I still enjoy what

Tolle has to say about the NOW in his books. That is why it is

Important to read and absorb others and reflect how it adds to

ones own life, you sort out what good would work into your own

theory on your own life and philosophy and leave out which will

not improve you to the next level on your journey.

NOW is the most important thing and the most precious thing

there is. Because it is the only thing, all there this. There was

ever a time when your life was not now. And the Now is the only

point that can take you beyond the limited confines of YOUR

mind.

This minute is the best minute – and the last minute was good

and were you in that minute as you are in this minute – and into

the next minute. That is how we live in the NOW – what this

minute brings from the history of you.

Tolle talks about breaking bad habits – which is really, really great

because we all have bad habits and we continually have to work

those bad habits or addictions. Therefore, from my life lesson on

forgiveness – of SELF and others is one of most beautiful ways to

break bad habits or addictions.

Tolle talks about: “Making it a habit to monitor your mental and

Emotional state through self-observation”

The question he said is “Am I at ease at this moment”? and that

Is a great question because I have found that I do not go

anywhere, say anything, or do anything where I am not at ease.

WE are the past, the present, and the future.

The past we forgive, remember, and have good thoughts.

The present can be loving, forgiving, and making good memories.

And Plan, stay on Mission, Learn, Read and have intentions of

what YOU will have in the future.

YOUR SPIRIT WILL FLY

Chronic stress increases the stress hormone cortisol and affects

many brain functions, putting you at risk for many mood disorders

and other mental issues.

Stress is an unavoidable part of modern life.

There are two main kinds of stress – acute stress and chronic

stress – and not all stress is bad for you.

Acute stress is the reaction to an immediate threat, commonly

known as the “fight or flight” response.

Once the threat has passed, your level of stress hormones

returns to normal with no long-lasting effects.

Some degree of acute stress is even considered desirable as it

primes your brain for peak performance.

But chronic stress – the kind most of us fact day in, day out – is a

killer.

90% of doctors’ visits are for stress-related health complaints.

We are here to help you know the signs and fix the stress in your

life-we cannot solve your stress but helping and giving help

indicators can.

Chronic stress makes you more vulnerable to everything from

cancer to cold.

The non-stop elevation of stress hormones not only makes your

body sick; it negatively impacts your brain as well.

When stress becomes chronic, it changes your brains’ function

and even its structure down to the level of your DNA.

Stress hormones include epinephrine(adrenaline) and

norepinephrine produced on an as needed basis in moments of

extreme excitement. They help you think and move fast in an

emergency. They can save your life in the right situation. The do

not linger in the body, dissipating as quickly as they were created.

Cortisol, on the other hand, streams through your system all day

long, and that is what makes it dangerous.

This stress hormone has been call the most dangerous of all

body, mind, and spirit. Can lead to healthy problems, including

weight gain, osteoporosis, digestive problems, hormone

imbalances, cancer, heart disease, and diabetes. And takes a toll

on your adrenal glands.

One of the things I do – I take lithium orates every day

Stress can kill brain cells.

Make you forgetful and emotional

Cycle of fear and anxiety

Halts production of new brain cells

depletes critical brain chemical causing depression

Greater risk for mental illnesses of all kinds

make bad decisions

shrinks your brain

lets toxins into your brain

increases risk of dementia and Alzheimer’s

causes brain cells to commit suicide

contributes to brain inflammation and depression

There are simple steps to help stop stress everyday practicing:

diet high in antioxidant-rich foods.

Physical exercise

meditation or prayer

try self-hypnosis

try herbal and spices have helped me.

I can tell you to:

Challenge SELF

Be Productive every day

Have a Mission every day

Stop putting any man-made products in your body.

Stop buying boxed, bagged, or canned foods.

YOU ARE UNIQUE SO WHAT WORKS FOR ME WILL NOT

EXACTLY WORK FOR YOU. YOU HAVE TO MAKE THE

DECISION AND DO WHAT IS BEST FOR YOUR MIND, BODY

AND SPIRIT.

THAT IS WHAT THIS WEBSITE WANTS FOR YOU – GIVES

YOU ALL THE INFORMAITON AND KNOWLEDGE TO KNOW

WHAT IS BEST FOR YOU

Do you know how much our Sun affects YOU?

In 1987 Dr. Ross Aidey, White House Chief of Staff for the

Reagan administration, published a scientific paper on

“Cell membranes, electromagnetic fields and intercellular

communication” announcing that about 20 % of pineal cells in

pigeons, guinea-pigs and rats respond to changes in both

direction and intensity of the earth’s magnetic field causing

variation in the peptide hormone melatonin, which powerfully

influences circadian rhythms.

The biological rhythm cycle had already been determined by others

as lasting 28 days in humans, which corresponds exactly the the

sun’s 28 – day period of rotation, as seen from earth. It became

clear that the sun’s radiation not only determined personality but

controlled behavior of human organism after the moment of birth;

the suns’ fields(Nicolson), which affects the endocrine system

directly(Aidey), causing the pineal gland to regulate the

production of the timing-hormone melatonin throughout the 28-

day period.

The hypothesis that the sun bio regulates behavior through

regulation of the endocrine system through variations in

melatonin.

We each need to understand how much the Sun has affected us

and many civilizations before us and what it looks like:

Professor H.J. Eysenck and D.K.B. Nias report on several studies

of interest about how the sun controls biorhythms:

In 1960, 2 German studies, carried out by R. Reiter, who

analyzed 362,000 industrial accidents over a two-year period,

found an increase of 20-25 % in accident rates on days of strong

electromagnetic radiation. And 21,000 traffic accidents, came to

the same conclusion. That on strong electromagnetic radiation of

extra-low frequency variety. Fewer accidents occurred on days

of high magnetic disturbance as against extra-low-frequency

disturbance.

I love all this research on how the sun and high frequency and

low frequency has affected us over centuries:

Russian historian A. L Chizhevsky collected data from 72

countries from 600 B.C. onwards, comparing the occurrence of

epidemics, wars and social unrest with the occurrence of

sunspot cycles. He found many correlations of significance,

including one showing the sun influenced behavior of populations,

leading to revolutions and social upheaval.

Russian researchers are the best and love their literature also.

Not that it has made their people any more free – but they do

have a different set of researchers than American does – and

their research may not be made available to their own people.

Exposure to high magnetic frequency from the sun is totally

different from EMF from the electronic equipment we all use daily

– which you need to try to keep far away from your sleeping area

as often as possible.

I will try to find a way to check daily Sun electromagnetic

frequency and add it

to this website and put it on the podcast weekly eventually. There

is are many issues about the sun that there is research on but we

have to keep writing about the most recent research.

Just be aware that the sun’s electromagnetic field does affect you

and your body every minute of every day. YOUR moods, your

Endocrinology system and your important pineal gland.

Chakras have been known and used by yoga masters for

thousands of years. Clairvoyants can see them and there is

growing scientific evidence that supports their existence. Your

chakras allow you to naturally open up to unconditional love,

personal power, and let go of the things that been holding you

back in your life.

Charka is a Sanskrit word and means wheel and spinning energy

vortices that interact with your auric field.

YOUR charka system has a direct connection to YOUR physical,

emotional and spiritual well being. Understanding its functions

can help us respond to life with awareness.

Each charka has its own personality. They each affect the

energy and the hertz of the body, mind and spirit – which, as you

Can see, everything goes together – it all goes together – YOUR

body, mind and spirit all go together.

There are many benefits of chakra healing and you need to learn

how to work with your chakras

Wear both stereo earplugs otherwise will not work properly. This is just another item that helps the energy , at the correct harmonics, flow throughout your body to help your WHOLE BODY

The more YOU learn the more YOUR Spirit will develop and grow

Consciousness is long recognized by ancient sages and scholars

and now validated in terms of modern science.

there are realms that lie dormant within YOU. This blog is going

to help you get to that realm.

Our mind is a “mental state” that consists of the development of

expanded state of consciousness and occurs in tandem with

reduced stress, better physical health and the emergence of life-

enhancing personal qualities.

Forever and forever over millions of years, there have been plants

and herbs that have expanded human’s consciousness. I am

very careful what I put into my body that affects my mind. I do not

believe in artificial mind expansions – like hiatus or marijuana or

anything that would expand my mind artificially. I will drink 1 -2

glasses of wine when I am out for dinner. I do not even like

drinking wine by myself in my own home and that is how careful

I am with my mind and protecting it. But, I do work on expanding

my mind and developing my Spirit to a high level as possible.

Here is a list of natural plants that people have used and are very

Additive and mind altering that artificially change and make life

Difficult in the long run:

Poppy-opium

Peyote

Salvia

Cannabis-marijuana

Ayahuasca

Betel nut

Tobacco

Jimsonweed

Coca-cocaine

Almost every family or person has been touched by additions of

some form for the last 100 years.

So we will continue on with YOUR spiritual mind and always

making it to the next level, naturally and with the mind we have

been given.

Researchers have measured people’s responses, both in

subjective reports and specific brain changes and have been able

to establish four signatures that signal consciousness.

Sages from many traditions from all over the world and in almost

every tribe have different states of consciousness –feelings of

Stillness, boundlessness, bliss, happiness, peace and all the

other good feelings and thinking’s we human’s feel. The brain

changes – the mind experiences different changes when

meditating, praying, or stillness.

There are 3 states of consciousness; waking, sleeping and

dreaming but there are a lot of variations within each of those 3

brain changes. Besides the 3 ordinary stages of consciousness,

other states have been observed by practitioners from different

cultures and by scientist alike.

YOU have to decide how and what works best for YOU. We just

try to let YOU know all variation of consciousness so that it works

best for YOU and YOUR spiritual life.

Modern meditation scholars have classified various forms of

meditation into three categories; focused attention, open

monitoring, and automatic self-transcending.

YOUR intent plays into this spiritual realm of YOU but also

Feelings and emotions also play a factor into YOUR spiritual

mind. YOU have to find YOUR groove in meditating or praying

that works best for YOU. It is always about what works best for

YOU.

This website talks about all the different parts of Mind, Body and

Spirit that makes the best YOU and so you can progress

throughout YOUR life.

YOU and YOUR Human Spirit

YOUR human spirit comes, again, from your yesterdays,

your family, your understanding, your learning and knowledge,

your developing into the person you are today BUT:

YOU have to keep developing, growing, learning and going

beyond where you are today.

YOU have to outgrow this SELF you are today.

I will give you a story that will make you see that you need to

outgrow where you are today.

My sister, I use her because I have learned a lot from her life

experiences on what I do not want to say at the end of my life.

So anyway, she was an alcoholic and did get sober 30 years

before

she died, but she mentally never developed beyond that getting

sober years because she accepted that she was sober and so

never went beyond that. So that was why she had tremendous

regret at the end of her life.

She went to a psychiatrist for 30 years but yet never developed.

If YOU or I go to group, therapy for over 3 years – please move

beyond that group or therapy because it can become stagnant

She never matured and developed mentally

She never matured and developed spiritually

She never matured and developed body

And since early 1980s I have been maturing and developing on a

daily basis.

I have a MISSION EVERY DAY.

I have a PLAN EVERYDAY

I have GRATITUDE EVERYDAY

I have JOY, HARMONY AND PEACE EVERYDAY

I learned at those early years:

To say and live the Serenity Prayer:

God grant the me the serenity

to accept the things, I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

What that prayers says to me and still speaks to me today is that

I cannot control anyone but myself. Stay out of other people’s

business, and do not try solving problems that are not yours.

Take only care of SELF. Everything else is someone else’s

business.

Live and breath the Serenity Prayer everyday because it will take

all YOUR stress away if you live and breath and believe it.

Acceptance is not laziness

Have courage to change ourselves

Hardship can be good for you

Surrendering requires courage, too

Happiness is attainable

Here are some wonderful quotes from people who have lived

them:

Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.

Arthur Ashe

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop

Confucius

A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the

Desire to beat others.

Ayn Rand

Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble

But reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be

Successful or happy.

Norman Vincent Peale

I have read Dr. Peale since the 1950 when we had his books in

Our home.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

Mark Twain

Accept the challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of

Victory.

George S. Patton

Another Confucius:

The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full

Potential… these are the keys that will unlock the door to

Personal excellence.

Another one of my favorite people is Wayne Dyer who said:

Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.

And another one of my favorite people is Bo Jackson, the great

football and baseball sports star and he is living by his words:

Set your goals high, and do not stop until you get there.

I have not had TV for almost 15 years – and do not miss it or want

it again

forgiveness. I practice it often: writing down one

of my children’s name or saying it out loud and

then praying: I am sorry, please forgive me, I love

you, thank you. I repeat it for at least 10-15 minutes

for that person. I pray it before I go on auto trip –

touching my car. I have prayed it in an airplane

when there has been turbulence.

It corrects, restores and maintains good

relationships among family members and their God

by getting to the causes and sources of trouble.

There was a Hawaiian psychiatrist that performed

this with inmates in prison for murder. The ones

he performed this on were released from prison

because they became good citizens.

Ho’oponopono in 4 simple steps

Repentance – I AM SORRY

Ask forgiveness – PLEASE FORGIVE ME

Gratitude – THANK YOU

Love – I LOVE YOU

I have used Ho’oponopono for years plus I meditate and

Pray also. I use all the tools I have in my Tool Box.

Deepen YOUR understanding of how the universe and especially

YOUR part of the universe

It is not always easy and can be very stressful on each of us

Individually but accept that we are the sum total of all past

thoughts, emotions, words, deeds and actions and that our

present lives and choices are colored or shaded by this memory

bank of the past, then we begin to ssee how a process of

correcting or setting aright can change our lives, our families and

our society.

The above is from Momah Nalamaku Simeona that founded the

Foundation of I, Inc.

How happy are you?

The following are some ways to make SELF happy:

Things cannot make you happy

People cannot make you happy

Only YOU can make YOU happy.

Do you want to be happy?

You may have to give up some of the negative thoughts

You may have to fill those spots with positive thoughts

As humans we are have childhood issues or life issues

No one can be happy 24/7 for life

What do you have to loose to be happy as much as you can?

Take control of YOUR time

Research has shown that people who are able to take

control of their day are happier than people who have no

sense that they can control their day

Stop right now and sit and smile and be happy for 20

seconds. That is controlling your time and smiling

YOU can control a lot of time throughout YOUR day

Smile

I made it a rule for myself that when I am walking into any

store that I smile at anyone passing me by.

We are all connected – all because of our energy and

because we all are here at the time we are supposed to be

here at this time and in this space.

Find work and activities that you are good at and that

will be meaningful to YOU, I have always done projects:

I have a 2,000 books library – love to read and do research.

I knit baby blankets, knitting my daughter a jacket, made the

boy’s blankets. I have taken oil painting and have a couple

of nice painting I have done. I write this blog and truly enjoy

sharing all my research with YOU.

I cannot stress enough but to turn OFF YOUR TV

Get off the phone or computer. Stop gossiping.

Take classes for anything you enjoy. I took an algebra class

When I was 65 and loved it and the teacher loved me.

Always learn more, always be happier, always smile.

YOUR peace and harmony as you age will help in

aging healthy and happy.

invest in shared things; vacations, family time, friends

time. It is sometimes hard not to collect stuff, but I have

accumulated my books, my fabric for sewing, my yard for

knitting, my research papers, so I try to get everything

organized and orderly. To someone else it is stuff but to

me it is my projects that I am working on.

Always have an exercise program you are working – not

Anything huge like a marathon – if you would like it – do it.

I have a rebounder (you have to order the good ones) and

A stationery bike for the winter months but I do swimming

In the summer to build up my leg muscles.

Have to have enough sleep – 6 – 8 hours a night.

If you have a “small” box – tear down the sides by learning

Something new or do a new project you have done before.

It will make more to your life in learning anything new;

a new thought or a new project.

Are you willing to grow beyond TODAY?

READ:

The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not “the

Thinker.”

The moment you start watching the thinker; a higher level of

consciousness becomes activated.

You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence

Beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that

Intelligence.

You also realize that all the things that truly matter—–

Beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace —

Arise from beyond the mind.

YOU BEGIN TO AWAKEN

YOUR mind has gone from 0 at birth to what it is today – but

Defining YOUR mind is not easy because it is YOUR mind-

And for the FREE mind to be defined it has to accept that

On a daily basis YOU define who you are;

NOT:

PROFESSORS

PARENTS

FRIENDS

MENTORS

They can be wonderful teachers but you are who you define.

Have a mission everyday, be in control of your day and not

your day controlling you.

Make it a habit to ask yourself:

What is going on inside of me at this very moment?

How am I feeling?

What am I thinking?

Know that you have a past and appreciate that past

And know that you have a future and be grateful for that future.

But in this moment in time; how are you feeling and what are

you thinking.

Remember that there are only 2 feelings:

Love and fear

I choose love

I choose forgiveness

I choose being proactive

I choose being in the NOW

I choose letting go

I choose to be the giant

Do not choose fear

Not forgiving brings disease, stress, and high blood pressure

And forgiving self MENTALLY first is beneficial to

a long and healthy life

Do not be reactive – always last one to the table

Do not hang onto yesterday’s issues.

Do not create a problem – because it creates pain.

Is there joy, ease, lightness, peace, and harmony in what

I am doing today?
See the picture I have posted in this blog?

Are you going into the fog or are you clearing a path as you go?

When you live in the moment, because you have let go of

any unhappiness from the past you begin to have JOY.

Never be concerned about the out come of what you are doing

because it will be JOY in the end with the practice of Love

Where ever you are being there totally – do not think of anything

else but where you are and what is going on that moment.

Breathing is so important to you living in the moment. Take

some time each week to just sit and breathe. Breath deeply

and you will know when you are breathing too shallow.

Shallow breathing is not healthy and your cells need the oxygen

That you are breathing in deeply. Count to 10-20 breathing in

And hold that breathe and then breath out slowly.

All these are so good mentally for YOU and the moment.

If one is sensitive to EMFs they may cause:

Nervous systems symptoms

Body and skin sensitivity

Foggy brain and depression

Infertility

There are a mired of symptoms coming from EMFs.

By keeping one’s body at as high PH level as possible it will help counter all these EMFs
