YOU and a new study reveals the surprising effects of Spirituality on the Brain

There is a growing body of research that has conclusively demonstrated the powerful, positive effects that meditation and mindfulness practices. That has on the brain and body, and a new collaborative study between professors at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute is now taking these findings one step further. In a summary of their findings, the report shows that they have found a direct correlation between the level of importance. That a person places on spirituality in their lives and the thickness of a certain region of their brains.

Ho’oponopono and YOUR Spirituality

The study found that people who expressed that spirituality or religion was important to them had significantly thicker cerebral cortices-a part of the brain rich in highly active neutral networks. These are responsible for sensory perception, language, and emotion processing than those who did not. This came from consciouslifestylinemag.com I have talked about this before:

Dr. Joseph Murphy’s books – all of them help in spirituality and the brain.

Ho’oponopona is a wonderful technique that I use constantly also. In my daily meditation, I use this technique a lot and have found it works for me spiritually. As does any of my meditations that I have been doing since in my 40s. All the meditations do for you is to heal you. And transmute their problems and become a more loving and peaceful person. They all help you connect with the Higher Power that is a creator of all things and that shows we are all connected and we never die. Just our physical being dies but our consciousness, our soul, and our spirit never die; our energy never dies because energy cannot die. We live in a universe made of energy and vibrations as we each are made of energy and vibrations.

Ho’oponopono and YOUR Spirituality

This comes from Mike’s website: naturalnews.com When a trend goes viral, millions of American “board that train” without giving it a second thought; however, come to find out, most of these massively popular trends are not trends at all, but rather propaganda-led health Ponzi schemes that have led millions of “sheeple”’ people who act like ignorant sheep) off their own health cliff. Long before the internet, and even before television, science demons (evil humans in while lab coasts) were hard at work inventing ways to slowly poison Americans chemical-based food and chemical-laced medicine, and the needed marketing experts to fool the public and catchy tag lines and slogans that could be plastered all over print media.

#1 If a healthy study is “peer-reviewed”, then it is evidence-

based, reliable and true. Did you know that as much as 90% of the

published medical information that doctors rely on is completely

wrong? True

#2 If a food additive, prescription drug or immunization is

approved by the FDA or the CDC, then scientists have tested it

thoroughly for “safety and efficacy” and you should consume it

without question. Never rely on anything approved by these

rogue “regulatory “agencies that are in the business of chronic

sick care, and have been since their inception.

#3 Cigarettes are good for digestion and recommended by more

than 20,000 doctors in America. Yes, they did do that

#4 the polio vaccine is a miraculous invention that eradicated the

polio pandemic that was sweeping the world. The infamous Dr.

Salk did not invent a vaccine that prevented polio, but rather the

mixed several strains of polio and helped spread the disease

around the world.

#5 artificial sweeteners contain no calories, so they help you lose

weight. Fake sugars are hundreds of times sweeter than sucrose,

fooling your body into ingesting them and making you crave sugar

even more.

#6 from Metabolic Healing, “Efforts to reduce the body’s

production of cholesterol and its adjacent lipoproteins, whether

through medical intervention or through nutritional intervention,

may have very serious repercussions for one’s health”.

#7 all saturated fat is unhealthy and causes cardiovascular

disease. Debunked

#8 Milk0t does a body good. Most processed dairy products

cause inflammation and excess mucus production

#9 GMOs are drought resistant, safe for human consumption,

increase yield for farmers and are totally sustainable. That

toxic pesticides have been infused into the genes of crops.

#10 chemotherapy is your best chance cor surviving cancer.

2.3% average success rate. Destroys your immune system

Health Hoaxes over the last 100 years

BEWARE

Know what you are putting into your body

READ the ingredients

the labels

the side effects

Throughout YOUR lifetime there have been ups and downs,

trauma, crisis, and grief. We, YOU and I, probably have not

always been as spiritual as we should be throughout those times.

That would be normal and ok because it is called LIFE. But,

when those ups and downs happen it brings about some blocks in

our spiritual life and here are some ways to overcome that period

that comes in all our lives, of course, if you are the exception and

never had any of those ups and downs that are great for YOU, but I

actually, do not believe life would ever be that smooth.

Do not stop believing. That this to shall pass and that you

will always remember the good memories and not the bad

memories. That YOU forgive YOURSELF, then Forgive

everyone else. YOU do not have to be around others with

negative energy or people who you do not like but forgive

everyone. It helps you move on towards your dreams and

makes your life work better.

Fix your financial problems. Live below your means, shop

less, do not buy STUFF. Read a good book from the library

or read a self-improvement book and find out “What Does

Life Expect from YOU?

Do not quit before the finish line. Keep moving forward,

keep being productive. Have a plan so when you retire you

are still productive – not just playing golf, going to the gym,

going to lunch with friends, or watching TV. Those things

are nice once in a while but that is not being productive.

Work through internal blocks and limiting beliefs. Energy-

sucking thought vampires come in all shapes and sizes.

Ask yourself questions every day make a plan for every day.

Make that plan work for you.

Listen to your gut! That is intuitive – we all have our own

internal guidance system built-in. become still, you can hear

the gentle guidance of our heart and soul.

Be adaptable. Change is the only thing constant in life. The

the only thing in YOUR control is YOU – everything else is out of

your control. Remember: YOU cannot control the cards

YOU are dealt but YOU can control the way YOU play the

hand.

YOU and Spirituality Blocks as YOU age

Be in alignment. When you listen to the calling of your heart

and soul and what you do in alignment with your truth,

amazing things start to happen naturally.

Always meditate, always exercise, always read a good non-fiction

book and always keep learning, always keep working at something.

YOU and Spirituality Blocks as YOU age

There is not just one thing you can depend on to keep disease

away from SELF. There is a lot you need to know and a lot you

need to learn. I have been learning since the late 1980’s on how

to keep my body, blood, cells, and organs all happy and disease

free. It has been a long journey because I love good fresh food, I

love carbs but do try to limit daily my intake of carbs, I love good,

fresh hamburgers, steaks but try to limit the beef thing because

too much is bad no matter what.

Carrot today is not the Carrot of 40 Years ago

I eat a lot of fresh salmon, organic and the North Sea salmon.

YOU need to know your blood type and what foods are good for

that particular blood type. I talk about that on my podcast “What

Does Life Expect from YOU? It is the lectins in the foods that can

be blood group specific, being able to agglutinate the red cells of

one type but not those of another. Dr. William Boyd of Boston

University School of Medicine discovered this. And went on to

say that lime bean lectin would agglutinate reds cells of human

blood type A but not those of O or B. So it has been researched

that this lectin from foods works better with one blood type and

not the other. So, take heed about blood types and foods that

make your body happy and healthy. It is necessary for your own

protection and happy and healthy aging. Know your blood type.

Carrot today is not the Carrot of 40 Years ago

Because of the environment of air, soil and anything else – I have

supplements that work well with my body. Find out which

supplements work better with your body or that you are lacking

in your overall daily foods. The soil is not as nutrient dense as it

used to be so a carrot today is not the carrot of 40 years ago.

Consciousness and Spirituality and Positive Thinking

YOUR Consciousness, and Spirituality

I believe the effects of meditation and mindfulness practices on the brain and body. Professors at Columbia University and the New York State Psychiatric Institute are studying these in-depth.

Dr. Joseph Murphy has been a very favorite of mine over the years. I believe his studies and research on sub-consciousness have been proven correct. I have tried to follow these practices for about 30 years.

Dr. Norman Vincent Peale has been another favorite for the belief that Prayer can bring about positive things in a person’s life. I will always believe this is also part of healthy aging.

I am a believer that we all have more spiritual power than some think. It is a thousand-year-old study. But we are more than just this body. And I am a believer in all this belief system

Consciousness and Spirituality and Positive Thinking

But the study found that the people who expressed that spirituality or religion was important to them had significantly thicker cerebral cortices-a part of the brain.

And our beliefs and moods are reflected in our brain. I will believe we can begin to see this. But the brain is an extraordinary organ.

But I believe the brain is an incredibly dynamic organ that responds to our mental patterns and habits.

And the study’s findings are in line with other similar research. I will believe showing a correlation between a person’s predominant state of mind, brain functioning and other physical reactions in the body.

Consciousness and Spirituality and Positive Thinking

I will talk about the recent study by Kaliman in 2014 found that intensive meditation positively affected people. And I believe that being positive is effective. But the expression of genes that are involved in inflammation. And being positive does affect a number of markers for overall health and wellbeing.

But I believe our state of mind is hugely important in our overall health and wellbeing. And adopting these time-honored spiritual practices help. And I believe meditation and mindfulness, and prayer is simple. I believe these are effective ways to realize your health benefits.

The good that Chard will do for YOUR body-a Great Green

YOU and how Chard can help you

The following is from foofacts.mercol.com

Swiss chard is not only a superstar in Mediterranean cooking but also one of the most nutritious vegetables around the day. It has

distinctly large, dark green leaves that are harvested at various

stages of maturity. The whole plant with tender, young leaves

can be used for salads, while the individual large-sized mature

leaves can be harvested for sautéing and cooking dishes.

I juice chard and then I can drink from the refrigerator for 3 days if

kept in a hermetic jar and I freeze it in small mason jars and then

add turmeric and olive oil to it for my juice drink. Of course, what

you have to remember is HOW good it is for your body while it

does not taste like a good fruit juice but is better for your body

then the fruit juice.

The good that Chard will do for YOUR body

Chard has an impressive phytonutrient profile, as easily

recognized in its vibrant colors, from dark greens to red, purple,

and a rainbow of colors in its stalks and veins. Phytonutrients

are a source of antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory and whole body?

benefits.

Source of vitamin K, omega 3 fats, vitamin A, and flavonoid

antioxidants such as beta carotene, alpha-carotene, lutein, and

zeaxanthin. It can also be count to provide B-vitamins such as

folate, niacin, vitamins B6, thiamin, and pantothenic acid, which

are all essential for cellular metabolism to function optimally.

The mineral content is copper, calcium, sodium, potassium, iron,

manganese, and phosphorus. Potassium is considered the “good

salt” and has made headlines for its role in helping lower blood

pressure, while the iron is required for cellular oxidation and the

formation of red blood cells.

The good that Chard will do for YOUR body-a Great Green

The following is from Dr. Axe.com

One of the primary flavonoid antioxidants found in the leaves of

chard is a flavonoid called syringic acid. Syringic acid is known for

regulating blood sugar levels, making it the object of much

research over recent years as diabetes diagnosis rates have

continued to increase. It has anti-aging antioxidants also help to prevent cancer,

heart disease, eye, and skin disorders, neurodegenerative

disorders, and much more.

Dr. Targ is a very special person-

The Spirituality of Dr. Russell Targ.

He is legally blind. His family is from Poland-and in 1937 his father went to Poland to bring them all back to America-and none of them would come and of course, they went through the Holocaust in the years that came to be. His father owned books stores, and was a publisher and was a person who knew a lot of the great authors of the era. He is an only child. His daughter became a physicist and died from a brain tumor at 40 years of age. He loved his daughter very much. He has 2 other successful boys.

The Spirituality of Dr. Russell Targ

Dr. Targ’s memoirs are a fantastic read-I hope you get a chance to read that book – plus the others he has written. He cannot see beyond about 2 feet in front of himself. I am amazed that he was able to do so much with his life. He has a remarkable spirit about him. He believes’ our business should be about our consciousness. Throughout the book, you realize he sees beyond what 95% of earthly people see. He initiated remote viewing programs for the US military. Of course, no one I know would agree with the use of some military programs are used but his brilliance is appreciated. Dr. Miller, also a physicist, quit being a physicist when he realized it was all going to the military-industrial industry. The book covers so much of the 20^th century because Dr. Targ lived most of the 20^th century is important to a lot that went on in the military and CIA. The book deals with both science and spirituality. And it is hard for us that are not physicists to understand how a person can be so spiritual, like Dr. Targ, come from an industry that sells WARS with the projects, they have worked on. Yet, he writes about Buddhism and then on quantum physics.

We should all try to understand how a man so spiritual and worked years in the CIA and different jobs

The researchers believe toxic chemo drugs switch on repair mechanisms in the body that allow tumors to grow back faster. Furthermore, Dr. George Karagiannis, l lead author of the study and his team found that two common chemo drugs increased the number of “doorways” on blood vessels which allowed cancer cells to spread to other parts of the body. The team also discovered that chemotherapy increased the number of cancer cells circulating the body and lungs of mice.

Though this study only investigated the effects of chemotherapy on breast cancer, the researchers are currently experimenting with other types of cancer to see if similar effects occur.

You’re Protocol if YOU get Cancer?

This is Linda speaking now:

My plan is never to have the disease called cancer but I have a protocol that I will follow if such a thing does pop up in my body:

I will stop eating or drink anything that is not organic and pure.

Juice 5 times a day

I will take turmeric 5 times a day

Only drink my distilled water or PH water filter I have

I will stop eating in restaurants

Take Carnivore, and whatever else Ty Bollinger has on his list.

What is your protocol if you get cancer or diabetes?

You’re Protocol if YOU get Cancer?

Your Blood Type Matters. Dr. D’Amato’s book will help you understand that the lectin in different foods will match with your blood type than other foods. I am 0 positive and he has a list of foods that match better with my blood type thank other foods. Blood type is just one of the many characteristics we each have. But, when you are trying to keep you healthy through the years take into those characteristics. Your pecking order, your birthday, your culture, and your environment, and especially your thinking. Sometimes throughout our lives, we go through down times but I am wishing for you that most you have good and happy times.

YOUR Blood Type Matters

In today’s environment of water, air, soil, and food YOU need to be aware at all times of what goes into your body. They have found plastic and round up in almost everything in our food. And whatever goes into your body certainly affects not only for today but for the long term. I look at everything in the long term. Since we all go out to eat more than we did 50 years ago, it is best to get a salad, soup or something that will not affect our health. The best place to keep your aging healthy is what you do in your own home. YOUR blood needs to be kept really nutritional. And doing this will really be helpful long term and for healthy aging.

Knowing your blood type really helps you get to what you want for aging healthy. There is a lot of information of what goes with the foods and your blood type. It is a starting point.
