Speak Up! Be You! The Purpose Of The 5th Chakra

We have journeyed through the lowest three chakras of the body: the chakras that give us a sense of standing on solid ground, a sense of personal identity to live our life through. These first three chakras are the foundation on which we stand. There is a rule in writing that you have to know all the rules before you are allowed to break them. The first three chakras are the rules of life. 

Be Kind To Your Body

The human body is truly a wonderland. Our bones are one of the strongest substances known to man, along with granite and concrete. Our heart pumps one million gallons of blood in our lifetime and our largest artery is capable of building enough pressure during each heartbeat to shoot blood 30 feet into the air.

How To Be Your Own Best Friend

Imagine if you had a robot that you could program to be the perfect friend. What would that robot be programed to do? Maybe it would compliment your eyes on a daily basis. The friend robot might pick you up when you fall down and nurse your wound. Maybe this friend robot would cook you elaborate meals and give you a massage afterwards. Let your imagination go wild.

Have you created the perfect friend? 

That robot could be you! What if I told you that your perfect friend has been hiding inside of you this whole time? All you need to do is program yourself!

How Technology Can Help Seniors Be Independent

Most of us who are young (even if just at heart!) are pretty comfortable using technology.  From smart phones to tablets to driverless cars, we’re used to a world where technology facilitates our experience, saving us time or energy or allowing us to do things once thought impossible with the swipe of a finger.

Sagittarius Full Moon: Passionately Seeking Wisdom

Full Moon – Sagittarius 8°10′ - May 29, 2018

All Full Moons highlight the opposing polarities in our lives. They ask us to see and make choices so that we may know ourselves better.  

Enter the Eagle

Throughout history we’ve celebrated the return of those who left the village and travelled beyond the “known world.” Upon their return, the information they shared with us expanded our understanding of the world and ourselves. There was both excitement and comfort in seeing the bigger picture and our place within it.

Gratitude Economy: An Exploration

Gratitude as an Economic Model

Imagine a way of thinking that would allow you to create a good or provide a service, give it away with no expectation of return, and have the value of the eventual social return be far greater than any monetary value you might otherwise have asked. What if you could have an entire culture where the only currency is thank you, and your social status is based on how much you contribute to the health of the community as a whole. Well that sounds absurd to say the least. But is it?

Escaping The Illusion Of Isolation

 

Even with the vast social networks and instant communication we have available to us, many of us feel alone.

We feel separate and isolated from others. Our longing for deep and meaningful connection is tangled up in the facades that we carry and try to match to another’s. And we think we are alone in this.

The Benefits of Therapy Animals

If you’ve recently spent any times traveling on planes and through airports, you might have seen dogs lying at their owner’s feet, secured with little more than a leash and a vest reading “Therapy Animal.” Therapy Animals have become popular in recent years: pigs at the San Francisco International Airport

Ways to Stay Mentally Fit

Some of us wake up in the morning, ready to go for runs, hit the gym, or do an early morning exercise routine. For others, the afternoons are when we get in some physical activity. Many of us spend a great deal of time on trying to stay physically healthy. While physical fitness should be a priority, staying mentally healthy is equally as important.
