The Cosmic Orgasm: Achieving Christ Consciousness, by Bill Donahue

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila1 Comment

If that title did not get your attention, I am not sure what will.

This is not a message I could present to a church, because it really does involve orgasm, and they do not talk about such things.

But the message that appears in ancient texts, once you go beyond the literal, speaks in a very adult way.  You can’t run from reality because it might offend you.

The Bible has Jesus saying this.

Matthew 7:23 I never knew you. Depart from me.

The Greek word for knew (oida), means sexual intercourse.

The Hebrew word for knew (yada) means sexual intercourse.

Here we have sexual intercourse being used as a symbol of the interaction between you and the Christ mind within you.

The Bible portrays Jesus as the bridegroom, and you as the bride.

Luke 5:34 Can the children of the bride chamber fast while the bridegroom is with them? But the time will come when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them.

The scripture portrays your touching the Christ within you as sexual intercourse. You must separate from thought, and come as a virgin mind to be penetrated by the Christ.

In other words you must know the Christ within you intimately.

And when you do, the orgasm will electrify your body, as it rises up the spine to the pineal gland of the brain.

Truly, what is called Kundalini, or the movement of energy through the seven seals of Revelation, is an orgasm.  An orgasm of energy that races through your entire body.

Then the child is born within you. The new mind is born within you.

It is not religion, or spirit.  It actually happens in an intercourse of great love within you.

It isn’t something you can pray about, sing about, or read about.

You have to do it.

Go, with the oil in your lamp, for the bridegroom is waiting.

They Brought Wolves To Yellowstone, But They Had No Idea This Would Be The Result

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

After a 70 year absence, wolves have finally been reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park in the United States.

The impact of their absence could not be fully realized until their return.

Nature is an impressive beast that should never be underestimated.

Aho! Mitakuye Ouyasin … To All My Friends and Relations … Dance and celebrate the return of our Wolf family members. Protect them for they maintain balance and restore harmony for all upon this Land. Aho!

Scientists Discover the First Biofluorescent Reptile, a ‘Glowing’ Hawksbill Sea Turtle

by Christopher Jobson

No this isn’t a clip from the latest Miyazaki anime, this is the first sighting of a real fluorescent turtle.

Marine biologist David Gruber of City University of New York, was recently in the Solomon Islands to film a variety of biofluorescent fish and coral, when suddenly a completey unexpected sight burst into the frame: a glowing yellow and red sea turtle. The creature is a critically endangered hawksbill sea turtle, and until this sighting last July, the phenomenon had never been documented in turtles, let alone any other reptile.

Biofluorescence is the ability for an organism to reflect blue light and re-emit it as a different color, not to be confused with bioluminescence, where organisms produce their own light.

Many undersea creatures like coral, sharks, and some shrimp have shown the ability to show single green, red, or orange colors under the right lighting conditions, but according to National Geographic, no organisms have shown the ability to emit two distinct colors like the hawksbill. As seen in the video, the coloring appears not only in mottled patterns on the turtle’s shell, but even extends within the cracks of its head and feet. Gruber mentions this could be a mixture of both glowing red glowing algae attached to the turtle, but the yellow fluorescence is undoubtedly part of the animal.

Watch the video above to see the moment of discovery and learn more on Nat Geo.

Yesterday, the New Moon Solar Eclipse opened the gateway to an astrologically supercharged window divinely designed for manifesting your deepest soul desires … But it gets better, amidst all this, comes a rare “8888” day on the 17th … a day that is between a New Moon Solar Eclipse and Supermoon Lunar Eclipse, and also the first day Mercury goes retrograde. BIG things are brewing …
Two powerful eclipses define September 2015, and this means it’s a month of tremendous shifts!
The entire world will experience sudden and profound change this month. Eclipses open up portals of transformation. They align the Sun, Moon and Earth, and this alignment happens twice within two weeks, so eclipses always RESTART us in some major way – like rebooting your computer and beginning with a fresh screen.
September’s two eclipses are definitely going to transform us even deeper than usual!
 
For one, a magnificent code of infinite resources and abundance is activated:
 
2015 is an 8 Universal Year
September is a 17/8 Universal Month
A double 8-8 is magnified throughout September
8 symbolizes eternity, leadership, prosperity and strength – and
8 is a visual reminder that the spiritual and mundane, the above and the below, are all one and not separate!
The first eclipse, a VIRGO Solar Eclipse occurs on Sunday, September 13.
13 symbolizes empowerment through life, death and rebirth.
During this New Moon Eclipse, the Sun and Moon are forming a harmonious trine to Pluto – a planet that ALSO governs life, death and rebirth!
And Pluto even lies at 13 degrees!
This amazing Eclipse code is followed by an equally magnificent day, September 17, when THREE astro-numerology events occur AT ONCE!
On September 17…
Jupiter forms an exact opposition to Neptune
Saturn finally moves from Scorpio into Sagittarius
Mercury goes retrograde
September’s 17 Month number is doubled up on the 17th.
The moments surrounding this first New Moon eclipse on September 13 and the events four days later on September 17 will bring the energy of the year to a climax.
(That radical shift will culminate with the big Full Moon Blood Moon Eclipse on September 27th and 28th.)
Have a wonderful, life-changing Eclipse weekend!

Hawaii Flips Switch on World’s Largest Ocean Harvesting Clean Energy Plant

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila1 Comment

Hawaii is definitely ahead of the curve when it comes to renewable energy. In June, the Aloha state became the first state to mandate that all of its electricity come from renewable sources no later than 2045. Along with other islands, its charging ahead with wind, solar and smart grid systems. But now, the state is home to the first fully closed-cycle Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plant in the U.S.

The thermal energy plant in Hawaii is the world's largest.
The ocean thermal energy plant in Hawaii is the first in the U.S. and the largest such plant in the world.
OTEC is “a process that can produce electricity by using the temperature difference between deep cold ocean water and warm tropical surface waters,” Makai Ocean Engineering, the company that built the plant, explains on its website. “OTEC plants pump large quantities of deep cold seawater and surface seawater to run a power cycle and produce electricity.” Makai touts OTEC as a constant, clean energy source that is “capable of providing massive levels of energy.”

Watch this short video for an explanation of how it works:

Makai staff explain in the video that the potential for OTEC is immense because the source of the energy is just sunlight.

“About 70 percent of the sunlight coming to Earth lands on the ocean. Most of that is captured in the surface layers of the ocean water in the form of heat,” says Duke Hartman, vice president of business development at Makai. “That’s beautiful because we can extract that energy 24/7 and use that power any time we want it, totally eliminating the need for an energy storage system.”

The 105-kilowatt demonstration plant on the Big Island, which cost about $5 million to build, only generates enough electricity to power 120 homes. But to date, it’s the largest such plant in the world. And it’s promising enough for the U.S. Navy to be investing in it. The Navy has a target for 50 percent of its shore-based energy to come from alternative sources in five years.

While the industry is still very much in its infancy, Makai believes it won’t be long until it takes off.

“The plant is dispatchable, meaning the power can be ramped up and down quickly to accommodate fluctuating demand and intermittent power surges from solar and wind farms,” Hartman told Bloomberg.

The company estimates that all of Hawaii’s electricity needs could be met by about 12 commercial-scale OTEC plants. They already have plans to construct a 1-megawatt facility in Japan, and Hartman says Brazil, Sri Lanka, the Maldives and West African nations all have potential.

“Anywhere tropical with deep water is ideal, especially if they import their fuel,” says Hartman.

The biggest challenge remains financing, explains Hartman. “We need a visionary investor to get us past the expensive pilot project into the large-scale commercial projects,” he said.

According to the company’s website, an offshore commercial-scale OTEC plant could prevent burning roughly 1.3 million barrels of oil each year, produce electricity at roughly $0.20 per kilowatt-hour and prevent more than half a million tons of carbon emissions per year.

The universe is full of mysteries that challenge our current knowledge. In “Beyond Science” Epoch Times collects stories about these strange phenomena to stimulate the imagination and open up previously undreamed of possibilities. Are they true? You decide.

Infinite Thinking

possibilities

Have you ever noticed that when you’re worried about something, all you can think about are your problems?

Then sometimes, out of the blue, someone comes in with a fresh perspective and your “unsolvable” problems suddenly have DOZENS of solutions.

The good news is this: you can be one of those “fresh perspective” people.

This may come as a surprise to some people but we get to choose what kind of world we want to live in!

You can focus on finding problems and live in the realm of “something is wrong,” OR you can focus on solutions and live in the realm of “infinite possibilities.”

People who live in Possibility-ville are known (and sought out) as problem solvers and visionaries.

They still have troubles like anyone else but they find their way out of those troubles a whole lot faster and can easily help others do the same.

The most fun part of focusing on possibilities is that they are truly infinite … so you have permission to get silly and play!

You can start throwing the most ridiculous, fantastic, “left-field” ideas on the table (using your childlike imagination), and one of them will inevitably spark a new idea that will give you the very answers you need.

3 Ways Intelligent Extraterrestrials Could Traverse The Universe In Seconds

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

“There is another way, whether it’s wormholes, or warping space, there’s got to be a way to generate energy so that you can pull it out of the vacuum, and the fact that they’re [extraterrestrials] here shows us that they found a way.”(source) – Jack Kasher, Ph.D, Professor Emeritus of Physics, University of Nebraska.

Thanks to the official disclosure of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs) by dozens of countries which details encounters with UFOs, more questions are being asked. It seems logical, how are people supposed to respond to the fact that these objects are commonly tracked on radar by military agencies, visually confirmed by the pilots sent out to investigate them, and perform maneuvers that defy our current understanding of physics? You can find out more about that and view some of those documents here. You can find more of our articles on the subject by visiting the exopolitics section of our website here.

It wasn’t too long ago that the existence of ‘UFOs’ was considered nonsense, but now that their existence again, has been ‘officially’ verified in the ‘mainstream,’ the question is now shifting to, “What are they?” As you can see from the quote above, Dr. Jack Kasher believes ‘they’ are extraterrestrial craft, and he is joined by hundreds of other scientists, academicians, high ranking military people, and politicians who share the same opinion.

“There is abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been monitoring us for a very long time.” (source) – Dr. Brian O’Leary, Former NASA Astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor

To view some more statements like the two above, click here.

Apart from wondering what and who exactly these beings are, people are also asking how they got here. Below are some possible explanations, but a civilization so advanced as to visit us probably has methods that we cannot yet comprehend.

THE ALCUBIERRE DRIVE

The idea behind the Alcubierre Drive is to basically place a craft within a space that is moving faster than the speed of light. Therefore the craft itself does not have to travel at the speed of light from its own type of propulsion system. It’s easier to understand if you think in terms of a flat escalator in an airport. The escalator moves faster than you are walking! In this case, the space encompassing the ship would be moving faster than the ship could fly, keeping all the matter of the ship intact. Therefore, we can move faster than light in a massless cloud of space-time.

The Alcubierre Drive is based on Einstein’s field equations, and it  suggests that a spacecraft could achieve faster-than-light travel. Rather than exceed the speed of light alone in a craft, a spacecraft would leap long distances by contracting space in front of it and expanding space behind it. This would result in faster than light travel(source). Physicist Miguel Alcubierre was the first (that we know of) to identify this possibility. He described it as remaining still on a flat piece of space-time inside a warp bubble that was made to move at “superluminal” (faster than light) velocity. We must not forget that space-time can be warped and distorted, it can be moved. But what about moving sections of space-time which are created by expanding space-time behind the ship, and by contracting space-time in front of the ship?

A similar concept was also recently illustrated by Mathematician James Hill and Barry Cox at the University of Adelaide. They published a paper in the journal proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical and Physical Sciences (source).

“By creating a ‘warp bubble’ that expands space on one side of a spaceship and contracts it on the other, the spaceship will be pushed away from the Earth and pulled towards a distant star by space-time itself.” – Dr. Alcubierre (source)

Quantum Entanglement: All Points In Space Are Connected

You can view a visual demonstration/basic explanation of quantum entanglementhere. Einstein himself could not wrap his head around it and referred to it as “spooky action at a distance.” The phenomenon was recently confirmed by the Griffith University’s Centre for Quantum Dynamics, you can read more about that story here.

Quantum entanglement suggests that space is just the construct that gives the illusion of seperation. As demonstrated in the vido linked above, if you take two particles and put one of them on the opposite side of the universe, the moment you do something to one of them the same reaction occurs instantaneously in the other one. This suggests that either the pieces of matter are “entangled” or connected, or that information is travelling much faster than the speed of light.

So, if all points in space are connected, perhaps this could provide some insight into travelling to what we perceive to be the far reaches of the universe.

Ben Rich, the second director of Lockheed Skunkwork’s from 1975-1991, also known as  the Father of Stealth, made several shocking open statements about the reality of UFOs and extraterrestrials and how they are getting here.

“We already have the means to travel among the stars, but these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do it. There are two types of UFOs, ones that we build and ones that ‘they’ build.”

When Rich was asked how UFO propulsion worked, he said, “Let me ask you. How does ESP work?” The questioner responded with, “All points in time and space are connected?” Rich then said, “That’s how it works!”  

You can find the source for the above quotes in THIS article, and this information deals with what’s known as the “black budget.” You can read more about the black budget here.

Another hard hitting statement related to this topic:

“It is ironic that the U.S. would begin a devastating war, allegedly in search of weapons of mass destruction when the most worrisome developments in this field are occurring in your own backyard.  It is ironic that the U.S. should be fighting monstrously expensive wars  allegedly to bring democracy to those countries, when it itself can no longer claim to be called a democracy when trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars have been spent on projects which both congress and the commander in chief know nothing about.”  (source) – Former Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer

Wormholes

wormWormholes are passages through space-time that would allow one to create ‘shortcuts’ through space in order to travel long distances. They are predicted by the general Theory of Relativity, and as of now still lie within the realm of theoretical physics. In 1935, Einstein referred to these as “bridges” through space-time, again, connecting two different points in space-time to create a shortcut. It’s also important to mention that the existence of these wormholes has been mathematically predicted, but are still considered theoretical.

A paper that was recently published in the Annals of physics offers mathematical evidence that a massive black hole in our galaxy is actually a wormhole. If this is true, it should be possible for humans to navigate it.

“Our result is very important because it confirms the possible existence of wormholes in most of the spiral galaxies.” (source)

If we are being visited, perhaps wormholes are one of many possible means by which it’s happening.

It’s important to note that the human race is still in its adolescence, perhaps there are new discoveries to be made for “those who can remove some of truth’s protective layers.” – Niel Armstrong (source)

That ‘Useless’ Liberal Arts Degree Has Become Tech’s Hottest Ticket

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila2 Comments

Forbes |  In less than two years Slack Technologies has become one of the most glistening of tech’s ten-digit “unicorn” startups, boasting 1.1 million users and a private market valuation of $2.8 billion. If you’ve used Slack’s team-based messaging software, you know that one of its catchiest innovations isSlackbot, a helpful little avatar that pops up periodically to provide tips so jaunty that it seems human.

Such creativity can’t be programmed. Instead, much of it is minted by one of Slack’s 180 employees, Anna Pickard, the 38-year-old editorial director. She earned a theater degree from Britain’s Manchester Metropolitan University before discovering that she hated the constant snubs of auditions that didn’t work out. After dabbling in blogging, videogame writing and cat impersonations, she found her way into tech, where she cooks up zany replies to users who type in “I love you, Slackbot.” It’s her mission, Pickard explains, “to provide users with extra bits of surprise and delight.” The pay is good; the stock options, even better.

What kind of boss hires a thwarted actress for a business-to-business software startup? Stewart Butterfield, Slack’s 42-year-old cofounder and CEO, whose estimated double-digit stake in the company could be worth $300 million or more. He’s the proud holder of an undergraduate degree in philosophy from Canada’s University of Victoria and a master’s degree from Cambridge in philosophy and the history of science.

“Studying philosophy taught me two things,” says Butterfield, sitting in his office in San Francisco’s South of Market district, a neighborhood almost entirely dedicated to the cult of coding. “I learned how to write really clearly. I learned how to follow an argument all the way down, which is invaluable in running meetings. And when I studied the history of science, I learned about the ways that everyone believes something is true–like the old notion of some kind of ether in the air propagating gravitational forces–until they realized that it wasn’t true.”

 

Slack’s core business benefits from the philosopher’s touch. Hard-core engineers have been trying to build knowledge-management software for at least 15 years. Most of their approaches are so cumbersome that corporate users can’t wait to quit. Slack makes everything simple. It bridges everything from Dropbox to Twitter, helping users organize documents, photos and data files into streamlined channels for easy browsing. Considering that Butterfield spent his early 20s trying to make sense of Wittgenstein’s writings, sorting out corporate knowledge might seem simple.

And he’s far from alone. Throughout the major U.S. tech hubs, whether Silicon Valley or Seattle, Boston or Austin, Tex., software companies are discovering that liberal arts thinking makes them stronger.  Engineers may still command the biggest salaries, but at disruptive juggernauts such as Facebook and Uber, the war for talent has moved to nontechnical jobs, particularly sales and marketing. The more that audacious coders dream of changing the world, the more they need to fill their companies with social alchemists who can connect with customers–and make progress seem pleasant.

Think of the ways the automobile revolution of the 1920s created enormous numbers of jobs for people who helped fit cars into everyday life: marketers, salesmen, driving instructors, road crews and so on. Something similar is afoot today. MIT professors Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee argue in a recent book, The Second Machine Age, that today’s tech wave will inspire a new style of work in which tech takes care of routine tasks so that people can concentrate on what mortals do best: generating creative ideas and actions in a data-rich world.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that by 2022 some 1 million more Americans will enter the workforce as educators. Another 1.1 million newcomers will earn a living in sales. Such opportunities won’t be confined to remedial teaching or department store cashiers. Each wave of tech will create fresh demand for high-paid trainers, coaches, workshop leaders and salespeople. By contrast, software engineers’ ranks will grow by 279,500, or barely 3% of overall job growth. Narrowly defined tech jobs, by themselves, aren’t going to be the answer for long-term employment growth, says Michael Chui, a partner at McKinsey Global Institute.

Paradigm Shift ~ Moving Overseas With Pets, by Dan Prescher

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Owl and Kitty

Pets are a big concern for many potential expats.

While the financial and personal advantages of retiring abroad are obvious, it’s not so obvious how to fit four-legged family members into the mix.

The mechanics and paperwork for getting Fido or Fluffy from your old home to your new overseas location aren’t overwhelming, but they differ from country to country…and even from season to season.

Also, some of the paperwork requirements, like a valid international health certificate, can be time-sensitive and need to be properly planned for in your relocation timeline.

In most cases, for the countries most expats consider, quarantines aren’t an issue. But like visa and other relocation issues, that can change, and current information is essential.

Another consideration is the cultural norms of the destination country. For example, throughout much of Latin America and Asia, dogs and cats aren’t viewed as the cherished family members they’ve become in North America. The treatment of stray animals and guard dogs can shock some North Americans who consider their own animals to be almost like children. Knowing beforehand how personal pets are viewed in a particular culture can be an important part of acclimating to that culture.

My wife, Suzan, and I traveled for years throughout Mexico, Panama, Ecuador, and Nicaragua with our dog, Jack. Not only did paperwork requirements and timelines change depending on what country we were leaving and going to, but they also changed over time, and varied between airlines.

But we were happy to tackle the learning curve of traveling the world with Jack, because leaving him behind was simply not an option. He was a rescue puppy who never, as long as he lived, forgot what Suzan did for him by adopting him from the pound. He lived to be close to Suzan, and he was only sad when she wasn’t around or he thought he’d disappointed her. He didn’t particularly enjoy travel…he topped out at about 90 pounds, so he rode in the cargo hold, and the look on his face when we brought out his travel kennel said it all. But he’d endure anything to stay close to Suzan. And we’d endure any amount of paperwork and travel logistics to make that happen.

He finally passed away while we were living in Merida, Mexico, and by that time he was better traveled than most of our human friends. He was a dog of the world, and he taught Suzan and I the ropes of living and traveling with a beloved pet.

Jack contributed greatly to what we included in the section on traveling and relocating with pets in The Dream Retirement Project. This is the place to find these tips and tricks, along with practical advice on every other aspect of choosing and moving to the best retirement destinations in the world.

Just For Today

Earth in handAt the dinner table today, recount a story of how compassion has touched your life.

We may imagine love to be quite utopian, but consider the alternatives. In not choosing love we are left with law and the prospect of global bureaucratic stagnation. In not choosing law we are left with force and the prospect of either global devastation or global domination. If we value our freedom and vitality as a species, we are obliged to do no less than learn to love one another as a human family. And it start with the stories we tell — because those stories shape our view of ourselves and the path we take through this time of collective awakening and global turning. To achieve authentic and lasting reconciliation as the foundation for our future, we can conscisouly choose narrative that require the power of love and compassion as a practical basis for organizing human affairs.

 

As I get older, I realize that the thing I value the most is good-heartedness.

Paradigm Shift — Create The Space For Faster Integration of 5D Consciousness

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Energy_Chi_Ball

However we have come together, thank you for being here just as you are. Perhaps you’re feeling excited and peaceful in knowing you are in the good company of so many other soul family members who see, feel, and experience the same things you do (the emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual “symptoms” of awakening). Or, maybe through these heart-centered teachings, you have a familiar feeling of being “home,” or a deep recognition that has awoken something that was once slumbering in you. However you are moving through these times, we share excitement with you for the flowering of consciousness that is taking place like no other time in human history.

As we encounter the various people, places, and things in our day-to-day reality:

May what moves us energetically-sensitive ones emotionally, serve to further awaken consciousness in action so we can contribute to the peaceful, loving planet we wish to live on.

May the appearance of opposing forces, and “light and dark” duality serve to only unify humanity and wake us up to new paradigm of heart-centered consciousness for the well-being of all.

May we love our own hearts and our own innocence deeper and more intimately than ever before, in this breath, and the next.

Integrating into the 5th dimension is where all the shifts, clearings, and inner work you’ve been doing over the past many years (and lifetimes) can synthesize higher frequencies of light into your cells, which brings to life a greater spiritual reality on an emotional and physical level. While so many of you have been frustrated by the amount of personal growth you’ve done, and wonder why it doesn’t seem to make a difference in your reactions and responses to the world around you, it is because the true freedom and relief you seek occurs throughout the integration process.

When integration occurs, you will transition from being exhausted by life, to then be inspired and energized by your new reality of heart-centered consciousness. During this stage of integration, a wellspring of passion and intuitive direction divinely guides you forward into the opportunities, environments, and relationships of a new spiritual paradigm. As you integrate, the physical body is able to maintain your expanded vibration to uplift others, instead of feeling pulled down by the unresolved energies of those around you.

Integration also moves you beyond many self-defeating and compulsive patterns you may have been surprised to revisit over the past few years, ushering in a renewed sense of health, harmony, balance, fulfillment, and vitality throughout your life. As you integrate, your point of attraction begins shifting in your favor to reveal the resources, synchronicities and abundance that you no longer have to work so hard to discover.

Paradigm Shift ~ Harvard Study Reveals What Meditation Literally Does To Gastrointestinal (Bowel) Disorders

The hits just keep on coming when it comes to the health benefits of meditation. Research is now emerging that would justify implementing this practice within hospitals and schools (some already do) as well as including it in treatment recommendations for various diseases.

Not long ago, an eight week study conducted by Harvard researchers at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) determined that meditation literally rebuilds the brains grey matter in just eight weeks. It was the very first study to document that meditation produces changes over time in the brain’s grey matter. Now, they’ve released another study showing that meditation can have a significant impact on clinical symptoms of gastrointestinal disorders, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).  The study showed that elicitation of the relaxation response (a physical state of deep rest that changes the physical and emotional responses to stress) is a very big help.

The study comes out of the Benson-Henry Institute for Mind Body Medicine at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC). This is the very first study where the use of the “relaxation response” was examined in these disorders, and the first to investigate the genomic effects of the relaxation response in individuals with any disorder. The report was published in the journal PLOS-ONE. (source)

Given the two studies cited above, and all of the other documented health benefits of meditation, this should open the door for more studies to examine the benefits of meditation for a wide range of diseases.

“Our results suggest exciting possibilities for further developing and implementing this treatment in a wider group of patients with gastrointestinal illness. Several studies have found that stress management techniques and other psychological interventions can help patients with IBS, at least in the short term; and while the evidence for IBD is less apparent, some studies have suggested potential benefits. What is novel about our study is demonstration of the impact of a mind/body intervention on the genes controlling inflammatory factors that are known to play a major role in IBD and possibly in IBS.” – Brandon Kuo of the gastrointestinal unit in the MGH Department of Medicine, co-lead author of the report.

Here’s a story about overcoming obstacles …

Like many people, Jane started meditating because she knew it would improve her life. When it was new and the enthusiasm was there, she found it easy.

Once the novelty wore off, however, Jane wasn’t that excited about meditation anymore.

It didn’t feel that great. She tired of it easily. She couldn’t stop wondering what was happening on Facebook.

She quickly found her meditations went from 30 minutes a day to 30 seconds. “I’m just not in the flow, today,” Jane would say as she pulled out the IPad to check her emails.

This approach of “I’ll do something when it’s going good but quit when it’s not going so well” is destroying people’s will power – whether they are trying to meditate, paint a portrait or get in shape.

That’s why I tell people to time their meditations. Set an alarm. Have a goal. This forces you to say to yourself: “It doesn’t matter if my meditation is good or bad… I’m just going to finish it.”

Whatever you want to do to improve your life — set a timer.

Take it a step further by keeping a log or journal – tracking your progress.

Now, once you overcome this barrier to your will power then an inner force (like a mental “virus” that tries to stop you from living a fulfilling life) will use another far more cunning tactic…

Let’s say Jane has committed to meditating five minutes each day whether she’s in the mood or not. It’s a little difficult at first, but after a few weeks she’s really enjoying it.

Then one day she’s experiencing a very deep meditation and doesn’t want to stop when the alarm goes off. So she keeps on meditating as long as she continues to feel this deep state of peace.

Sounds good, right? Not so fast…

Now, when will she actually stop her meditation since the alarm has already gone off? When her meditation starts going bad. That’s when.

So now Jane’s giving up. Again.

I recommend that you meditate for whatever time you know you can consistently commit to every day. Then if you’re having a great meditation one day and you want to meditate more, wait until the timer goes and set it again for another five minutes (or whatever time you decide).

The same goes for exercise. If you’re on a runner’s high after two miles then set another goal. Maybe aim for another mile. Or do the same route again. But don’t just keep on running until you don’t feel like it anymore.

Otherwise you’ll let the virus continue to dictate your actions and sabotage our life.

11 Signs You Need A Spiritual Detox & How To Make It Happen, by Rebecca Butler

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

MGB  |  I recently had a night where I just couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t blame it on the baby, though I was tempted to. I was up. Grinding my jaw. Worrying. Sleep would come mercifully here and there, but it was never deep and truly restful. I know what this means, I thought to myself. It’s time for a spiritual detox.

Just like the body, the soul needs occasional, mindful cleansing. We’re barraged by media of all kinds, and it’s all too easy to consume spiritual junk food.

Are you aware of when you might need a spiritual detox? In other words, are you aware of when you’re feeding your spirit too much junk for the soul to feel good?

Just in case you aren’t following, here are some spiritual junk food items that you can become addicted to:

  • Endless Facebooking
  • Constant patrolling of TMZ’s Twitter feed
  • Compulsive digging into the latest from Perez Hilton
  • Grand Theft Auto 5
  • Binge-watching Netflix

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with these “junk food” items in moderation, but it’s possible to go overboard. The result can be toxic to your soul.

Here are some signs you might need a spiritual detox:

  1. You find yourself scrolling through your newsfeed seeking negativity. Misery loves company.
  2. You open your mouth and spew sarcasm unintentionally. You try to be more mindful when you speak, but you can’t seem to help yourself.
  3. Your friends don’t want to be around you.
  4. Your heart hurts. Or worse, it doesn’t. You are numb.
  5. You find pleasure in other people’s misfortunes. (Again, misery loves company.)
  6. Happy people piss you off. You don’t even want to hear the word “joy.”
  7. You don’t sleep well. You’re having bad dreams and catch yourself grinding your jaw. A lot.
  8. You keep finding yourself in circumstances where you feel like the victim.
  9. You shy away from prayer, meditation, anything inspirational.
  10. You are bored — all the time.
  11. You can’t even remember the last time you took a walk, watched the sunset or sunrise, walked barefoot in the grass, or felt the summer breeze on your face.

Here are a few ways to engage in a spiritual detox. Remember, please do so with compassion. Above all else, be kind to yourself. We are all doing the best we can, and everyone wants to be happy and free from suffering.

1. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh and genuinely make you happy.

Laughter is good for your soul. Seek the company of those who make you feel light and buoyant. Don’t question why you enjoy someone. Just enjoy them.

2. Uplift others.

When you feel downtrodden, it can be helpful to find the things you enjoy about others and to offer that feedback liberally. It’s important to remember that the things we see in others are also reflections of ourselves. Find a way to connect with and uplift someone. Attend a yoga class, read a blog, take a spin class — reach out to your favorite wellness warrior and uplift them. You’ll feel better almost instantly.

3. Try shifting your addiction to kindness.

Kindness is a drug. When you extend, witness or receive an act of kindness, your body releases serotonin, an endorphin. As cliché as it may be, practice a random act of kindness. You’ll feel delicious in doing so.

4. Make time and space to develop a meditation practice.

Meditation soothes the soul. There are incredible sites and courses to lead you through meditations if you don’t already have a meditation practice. Turning inward is a beautiful way to clear away the muck of spiritual junk food. Listening to your internal wisdom is a quick path to shedding that which does not serve you.

5. Get in touch will all of your senses.

Go outside. Enjoy the summer weather. Move, sweat, breathe. This will bring you into a visceral experience of the magic of this life. And it is so worth it.

6. Seek something sacred.

Turn to joy. At our essence, our foundation, we are spiritual beings who share a human experience. Sometimes the heaviness of our human experience can weigh us down. It’s important to remember that you are more than this physical body. You are expansive consciousness incarnate. As such, you can find and experience joy even within difficult circumstances. You mindfully start training yourself to start looking for the gift in the moment. Like anything worth practicing, it can be difficult at first. Over time, it becomes simple and easy.

Perspectives ~ Money is a Lot Like Water ~ by Lynne Twist

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila1 Comment

 

We’ve allowed this culture of money to shut down our heart, close off access to our soul, and drive us such that we behave in ways that undermine and erode the very center and core of our most human values. I believe it’s possible to transform our relationship with money and the culture of money that we’ve created in a way that resources continue to flow, that prosperity continues to be available, and that all of us can be served, nurtured and empowered to more fully express who we are as the human family.

I learned a lot about money from a woman named Gertrude.

I met her in a church basement in Harlem. I was doing a small fundraising event for The Hunger Project. I had come from Minneapolis where I had met with an executive of a large food company. The food company had an image problem and felt that making a donation to The Hunger Project and being seen to support the end of hunger might help clean up its image. The executive I met with had given me a check for $50,000—but he gave me the donation basically to get me to go away, to assuage his guilt about some public mistakes the company had made and to have the company look good in the eyes of the public. I could tell in the interaction we had that he had no real interest in connecting with resource-poor people or in making any kind of a difference in the work to end world hunger. The money was given from guilt, and the guilt was passed along with the money. I now felt guilty receiving it. I had received the money and the guilt. And both he and I were unfulfilled.

I had the $50,000 check in my briefcase, which sat behind me on a table in the basement of the Harlem church. There were 75 people gathered before me. All of them were black. It was raining and there were leaks all over the room we were in. There were buckets strategically placed all around us catching the dripping water and there was a constant background noise of the rain outside and the dripping from the leaking walls and ceiling. I looked out at the audience and I knew that the people sitting there did not have much to give. I spoke to them about The Hunger Project’s work in Africa, as I thought it would be the most relevant to their own lives and their heritage. When it came time to ask for donations, my palms were sweating and I began to perspire all over wondering if it was the right thing to do. I went ahead and made the request, and the room was absolutely silent.

After what seemed like a long, long time, a woman named Gertrude stood up. She was sitting on the aisle in the second row from the back. She was in her late sixties or early seventies. She had gray hair and when she stood up she was tall, thin, erect and proud.

She said to me, “I ain’t got no checkbook. I ain’t got no credit cards. To me, money is a lot like water. For some folks it rushes through their life like a raging river, but the money comes through my life like a small trickle. But I want to pass it on in a way that does the best good for the most folks. I see that as my right and as my responsibility. It’s also my joy. I have $50 in my purse that I earned from doing a white woman’s wash and I want to give it to you.”

She walked up the aisle and gave me her precious $50 and at that moment I saw the power of money in a new way.

I knew that the $50 that I received from Gertrude would buy more for the end of hunger than the $50,000 check in my briefcase. I knew that that $50 was money that came from the soul and not from some bank account. I saw that the power of money can be seen in the way we use it and the integrity with which we direct it into the world. Gertrude taught me a great lesson and I never forgot it.

As Gertrude tells us, we can look at money like water. It flows all over the planet and everywhere it goes it’s useful, it makes things happen and it’s passed along. We could say that water doesn’t belong to any of us or it belongs to all of us. When water is flowing and moving it cleanses, it purifies, it makes things green, it creates growth, it nurtures. But when water starts to slow down, is held back and starts to be still, it can be toxic and stagnant to those who hold it. All of this can be true of money.

It’s possible to have money flow in a way that serves our highest ideals and commitments rather than accumulate it so that we can gain power, authority and special privileges over others. Money can bear the mark of he or she who passed it on and in many ways can be voice, expression and commitment.

Discussion Questions:

What does looking at money like water mean to you?

Can you share a personal experience of a time you felt money flow in a way that served your highest ideals?

What practice helps you engage with money in a mindful manner?

Paradigm Shift ~ For The Children

As wisdom and free will and the capacity to influence wield their ways … We are indeed living in exciting times, so let us watch how our choices play out on the planetary playing field …

And so to the most influential way to share this divine wisdom of the harmonic matrix is through story … The 13 steps below point to the unfolding of how this occurs:

1 Purpose – Free Will, Wisdom, Influence

2 Stabilise – Explore, Awaken, Expand

3 Activate – Receptivity, Enchant, Timelessness

4 Define – Vision, Create, Mind

5 Empower – Intelligence, Fearlessness, Quest-i-on

6 Balance – Evolve, Synchronicity, Navigate

7 Inspire – Reflect, Order, Endlessness

8 Integrate – Self-Generate, Catalyse, Energy

9 Realise – Enlighten, Shine, Universal Fire, Source

10 Manifest – Birth, Response-Ability, Nurture

11 Liberate – Spirit, Communicate, Breath, Channel

12 Co-operate – Dream, In-Tuition, Abundance

13 Presence – Target, Potential, Flowering, Awareness

1 There was once a child with a very strong will… There sat a deep sense of purpose in her bones, a sense of a strong destiny, wherein she was to influence many people… She felt the need to truly comprehend many things, so she listened deeply to her elders and felt the presence of the most wise ancestors from her bloodlines, guiding her on her path…

2 She loved to explore different cultures, to hear stories of how people lived and survived… She was specially interested in the elders, those that were still full of life force. She was especially drawn to those that did not seem to embody ‘old’, but were lively and spirited into their later years, as she tapped into her own wellspring of vitality…

3 The more receptive she became the more activated she became, as the spark of life force ignited a desire to receive… She became timeless, enchanted by a desire to reflect the patterns that revealed the greatest vitality and pure life… She watched herself from that still point, reflecting the truth of the moment, and the spark of longevity was ignited… So she came to feel that direct presence in the moment bonded an agility in people, activating strong and energised lives… She saw these choices ensuring the survival of the fittest, promising long life…

4 Creative visions began to form for her, of the lives that were possible to live, as she saw through the illusions and confines of the present mainstream thinking… She chose to trust those visions,  allowing her mind to create the most magical scenarios, with opportunities for the highest flowering for all beings… She began to understand what it was to choose ones creations, or to just toe the party line… She saw that peoples choices created their lives, and ensured that she would co-create the most divine life she could imagine for herself, while offering these same possibilities to all others… She began to understand the opportunities gifted through living a fully embodied and vital life in the present moment…

5 She came to fearlessly questioning all things as they were, choosing to follow a powerful guidance that revealed how beautiful creation could be… Those around her that were holding to limitation would get uncomfortable with her incessant prodding, yet she was not deterred, as her dreams revealed the power of her quest-i-ons… A powerful promise of a new time, where all could survive abundantly on this abundant planet… She deeply questioned greed and the limitation it brought on all levels, to all peoples…

6 Answers to her questions came through walking the Earth, listening to the subtle messages that pacha mama brought to her, clues and codes revealing synchronicities, coming thick and strong… She gained an awareness of Earths evolution, as she watched the flowers and the plants grow, bringing an awareness of her own bodies growth… Through listening she became acutely aware of the changes in the environment, and listened intently for the messages of Spirit blowing in the wind, with the promise of a growing potential of harmony to be present, for all beings…Her own body became her barometer, as she listened deeply and intently for its messages of cycles evolving…

7 She became inspired as she felt her hearts resonance, with those open and willing to reflect the bare truth of each moment… Reflecting truly the kinship occurring when the unreal drops away, the heart free to connect and care for others… The true heart-opening of a sense of family, inspiring the dreaming of new culture, unbound by age-old customs which no longer served the resonant truth of the moments reality…

8 Her dreams were guiding her towards change that was needed… Her mind became highly active as she connected telepathically with kin whose hearts she could feel, generating deeply integrated energy catalysing ideas towards real change… Thinking outside the box of the major paradigm became more and more illuminating…  Diving deep to uncover old shared thought forms, held captive in the collective unconscious, freed them up, and she became a catalyst to those around her, allowing all their minds to become illuminated with thoughts of sovereign independence… So she continued her practise of diving deep into inherited conditioning, transforming all into pure energy… Allowing the freedom to be a pure conduit for Spirits messages, expressed through physical form, unbound and free – Being the Divine Dance of Life!

9 She continued to question old structures, that did not encourage the light, uprooting them, helping her to realize her Sovereignty… Light pulsed through her, opening her life ever more strongly, she focused that energy towards birthing the flow of the new and pure… Her intelligence guided her to the Sun, the greatest light and it began to dawn on her, that all cultures that flourished were dedicated to Sun worship… She began to realise the patterns of the ages as she looked back through time, realizing the Sun as the Source of all Light… Seeing that the illumination of that light in her own being, gifted her with a strong will, that had been guiding her forward her whole life, pulsing her strongly towards fearlessly shining her own sovereign light… With this revelation she set the intention to fearlessly allow the light to birth the new through her, as co-creator with the higher will of the creator… She as co-creator connected to Source consciousness, enlightening and radiant …

10 With this revelation, she perfected herself through nurturing and purify her own body, as the vessel carrying the light… As she walked amongst the people, she responded in a deep caring, nurturing way, feeling a responsibility to share what she had learnt, the importance of purifying our bodies, that we may embody more light, and align our will with the will of the creator… By helping others to listen to their needs and purify their bodies, she became a mama to all, and people looked up to her with respect, as she shared her influence for the betterment of the people… She became a great leader of the people, as her deep caring was felt by all, as her first consideration was the caring and nurturing of the people… With this came the understanding of water as the food of life, and the cleansing of the waters became important… She came to emulate the waters, becoming fluid in her movements, able to respond in the moment to others needs… Sharing and caring… She influenced others, as her choices reflected caring, she walked her own way, yet with a deep sense of assisting others to also find their own way, to make their own choices to align with their own sovereign minds… Encouraging them to hop off the treadmill, to question evolutions timing in their own lives… And as the people recognised her fluid and caring nature and the great light she shined, so they were encouraged to question and illuminate…

11 She found liberation of the load she was carrying through aligning her will with the higher will, becoming Spirits messenger… Delivering messages direct from Spirits beckoning… Here came the freedom of choosing to align her own free will with the will of Spirit… As the messenger, she became a catalyst for change at very deep levels of the collective unconscious, Spirits words hitting the mark, fair and square every time, as she found release through serving the spiralling evolution…

12 She was shown far-reaching visions of abundance that lay dormant in the collective mind… By sharing those visions, she witnessed the unlocking of limitation, and the activation of creative mind… The more  she shared, the more people were able to access the greater vision of the planets hidden contract of ‘Abundance for all beings’… All were in wonder at the illusion of lack they had been living in, fuelled by greed and a sense of lack… The more the people questioned, the more the collective mind began to see and envision the abundance that lay underneath all fear… The people became fearlessly creative and began to co-operate, envisioning planetary community living, in the abundance created through sharing and caring…

13 And so the New Time of harmony and peace became more present, as the people saw themselves as co-creators with each other, consciousness and nature… So the seeds of the new culture based on listening to and honouring the Earths evolution, came to be, the old paradigm of greed and control fading away into obscurity… Thanks to our strong willed girl, who chose to question the culture of lack!!!

Recognize the currents as they flow through us … gradually allowing more and more of the fearless celebration of Time’s natural and graceful dance, to do us …

Are You An Empath, or Just Highly Sensitive?

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

empath-or-highly-sensitiveEmpath: A person who is capable of feeling the emotions or physical symptoms of others even if they themselves are not going through the same situation or events. 

Highly Sensitive: Used to describe a person who has high sensory awareness and often feels extremely emotional or in-tune with their surroundings. 

It is estimated that around 15-20 percent of the population is highly sensitive and another 2-3 percent of the population are empaths.

The term “empath” has been growing in popularity however, many are confused about what it actually means and mistaken it to describe someone who is highly sensitive.

Being an empath is really like having clairsentient abilities whereas being a highly sensitive individual is more about enhanced sensory awareness.

To put it simply- empaths pick on up energy whereas highly sensitive people pick up on sensory stimuli.

The difference is important because those who are highly sensitive can learn to protect their energy using various mindfulness tools however, empaths really need to learn how to harness their talents and channel them into something deeper.

So, what are the traits of an Empath?

  • People feel comfortable telling you their personal stories and often comment how good they feel after talking to you, but you usually feel worse after talking to them.
  • You experience aches and pains that are also being experienced by your loved ones or the people around you.
  • When you are around others, you can pick up on certain energies and emotions, however when you are on your own, you feel a sense of calm and normality.
  • You have trouble concentrating when others are around, or you feel overwhelmed easily when hanging around others, especially in crowded places.
  • Some people appear to be intimidated by you as they can feel that you can see right through them.
  • You understand or comprehend a lot of what others are going through and seem to know more than you were verbally told.
  • You can instantly detect and absorb the emotions of others and feel them on a physical level.
  • When you are around certain people you find yourself acting out of character or doing things you wouldn’t normally do.
  • You have a hard time navigating through your own feelings and emotions and working out why you feel a certain way.
  • You feel a certain way but have no idea why, only to find out that someone close to you is going through the same emotions.
  • In Astrology, empaths usually have their Moon in a water sign or another sensitive placement.

Compare this to the traits of a Highly Sensitive Person:

  • You feel your emotions or the emotions of others on a deeper level.
  • You have the tendency to be more reactive than normal in emotional situations. Many might accuse you of being overly dramatic or that you need to calm down.
  • You tend to take things very personally and are easily offended or disgruntled by other people’s thoughts and actions.
  • You prefer to do things on your own and avoid hanging out in groups.
  • You have a harder time making decisions because you are more aware of the possible outcomes.
  • You have the ability to notice the finer details in your surroundings are are often sensitive to noise, colors and other stimuli.
  • You have a hard time watching scary or violent movies and are easily moved by emotional scenes.
  • You have tendency to cry more often and can sometimes be triggered to cry when others are crying.
  • You are often more polite and conscientious than normal due to the fact that you are more aware of your surroundings.
  • Often there is a  propensity to developing anxiety, especially in social situations.
  • In Astrology, a highly sensitive person usually has many planets in water signs.

Whether you resonate with being an empath or a highly sensitive person (or a bit of both), there are ways you can calm your feelings such as learning somemindfulness tools, practicing meditation and setting firm boundaries with others.

As an empath however, you may find these practices a little more challenging. Instead, you may benefit from working on an energetic level rather than an emotional or psychological one.

Try cleansing your etheric body often using sage, carrying around a protective crystal, or perhaps even seek out different forms of energy healing. You can also channel your abilities into psychic awareness or development.

Being an empath or highly sensitive person is definitely something that you can use to your advantage and the more you begin to master your abilities, the easier they will be to manage.

At the end of the day, we are all effected by the emotions, thoughts and feelings of others whether we realize it or not. Our energy is not limited to the containers of our physical body and the more we tap into this idea and grow in awareness, the more we can use it towards realizing our potential.
