7 Studies That Show How Astonishingly Powerful Your Mind Can Be

Attitude

September 7, 2018

Your mind is more powerful than you can imagine. Every desire that you have can come into reality if you know how to use the true power of your mind.

If you don’t know how to operate with your mind properly, it also has the power to become your worst prison.

Your successes and failures are determined largely by the workings of your mind and the way you use it.

A lot of scientific studies have been done to prove that the human brain is the world’s most powerful and life changing force.

The following examples are just few of them that let you know the tremendous power of your mind.

7 Studies That Show How Astonishingly Powerful Your Mind Is:

1. Meditation dried the sheet.

Meditation, when done regularly and for longer hours, can produce amazing results.

The most notable one happened in one study when the Tibetan monks allowed doctors to cloak them in wet, cold sheets and placed them in a room with a temperature enough to cause hypothermia in a person.

Doing the meditative yoga technique called g Tum mo, the monks generated body heat, causing the sheets covering the monks to dry.

The sheets completely dried within an hour.

According to the monks, the heat they generated was a by product of the meditation.

2. Dreams caused real injuries.

Many people had claimed to get injuries in their dreams and woke up having a physical evidence of the injury. Other even show scars and scratch marks.

Psychiatrist Ian Stevenson reported a case of the Indian named Durga Jatav who was at the time suffering from typhoid fever.

Jatav vividly dreamed of having been a captive of the other realm where his captors cut off his legs to keep him from escaping.

His legs were already severed when his captors realized they had the wrong man. As he was about to be released, Jatav asked for his legs for he couldn’t leave without them. They were then reattached.

When he awakened, deep fissures were found around his knees that were never there before. But X ray photographs showed no abnormality under the skin’s surface.

This makes Jatav and his family believe the more that the marks came from his vivid dream experience.

3. The nocebo effect.

The nocebo effect is the total opposite of the placebo, which is associated with positive outcomes.

In nocebo, the effects are negative, like a person having rashes after touching an ordinary plant believing it was poison ivy.

A story that is often cited is the incident of an Alabama man who was told by a witch doctor that he will die soon. After a few weeks, the man fell ill and was close to death.

But doctors did not find anything wrong with him.

After hearing what happened to the man prior to his condition, Dr. Doherty fabricated a story telling the couple he had tracked down the witch doctor and had him admit of putting a lizard inside the man that ate him from the inside.

The doctor assured his patient that he had injected him with a substance that successfully extracted the green lizard from his body. The next day, the man awoke alert and soon recovered.

4. Meditation blocks out the pain.

The Dutch Jewish writer, Jack Schwartz, was among those forced into the Nazi concentration camp during the second world war. He received horrible torture like many others.

Without losing hope, Schwartz started to practice meditation and prayer, which later enabled him to block out the pain and stay sane while in that dreadful situation.

Schwartz continued the practice even after his release. With his mind over matter practice, Schwartz can pierce his skin with a needle without causing injury on it.

Researchers from the Menninger Foundation proved how his brain, which had different electrical activity compared to the other test subjects, could control many of his bodily processes.

Schwartz even claimed seeing people’s auras too.

5. Visualization has profound effects on sports.

While most athletes attributed their mastery of the game through mental practice, the bodily changes during visualizations may go deeper.

One instance is the case of Air Force Colonel George Hall who was held captive in North Vietnam. With nothing to do inside the small, dark room where he was imprisoned, he visualized playing golf every day.

He saw himself hit the ball off the tree, raked the sand straps, felt the wind, and finally tapped the ball into the hall.

Despite being weak and losing a lot of weight, he requested to play golf after he was released.

When he broke a 76, everybody thought it was a beginner’s luck. But the truth was he never stepped on a golf course for over 7 years. His imagination only did and his muscles cooperated.

6. Positive mindset can help the healing.

Several medical studies prove that cancer patients who are exposed to positive reinforcement have a great chance of survival than those who don’t.

David Seidler took positivity to a higher level. He claimed having eliminated his cancer through meditation and imagination.

For years, he battled with bladder cancer until he resolved of getting rid with it through the use of his imagination.

Two weeks before his scheduled surgery, he started envisioning his bladder to be clean, cream colored, and healthy.

No cancer cells were found during the pre surgery biopsy. For Seidler, it was the work of his visualizations.

7. A simple change in mindset can give weight loss.

Losing weight takes more than just diet and a physical activity regimen. While being the most important component, it is often overlooked. This is about having the right mindset.

To prove how the mind affects the body, psychologist Ellen Langer conducted an experiment that has predominantly overweight maids as test subjects. With the physical exertion in their work, they should have been thin.

A survey said 67% of the maids felt they didn’t do any type of exercise. Believing the women’s perception hampered in their weight loss, Langer took aside half of the women.

Their physical measurements were taken and they were also informed that they were living an active lifestyle through their cleaning work. No information was given to the other half of the maids.

After one month, those who were educated were found to have a decreased blood pressure and weight, while no changes were found with the other half.

Langer felt that a change in mindset triggered the change in the maids’ bodies.

Breakups Are Different For Men And Women And Here Is How

Psychology

Hearing someone tell you they no longer love you makes you feel like the whole world is crumbling down upon you.

Sometimes we wonder if men feel the same as women after a breakup. Even though we know everybody feels something, we want to know who is hurting the most?

Whether you’re a man or a woman, the pain is excruciating, especially when you have invested much in the relationship.

The person who was left behind is hurt the most, but the pain feels different for men and women according to a study.

There’s a study that researched exactly this question, the different effects a breakup has on men and women, and it discovered it actually has quite different effects on both sides.

How Are Breakups Different For Men And Women According To A Study:

There was a study conducted by the researchers from Binghamton University and University College London on how breakups affect men and women.

There were 5,705 participants from 96 countries who were asked to recall their last breakup and the emotional memories associated with it.

Then they were asked to rate their physical and emotional pain from 1 up to 10. They can rate 1 if they don’t feel any pain at all and 10 for the most horrible pain.

What the researchers found is that women feel the strongest effects of a breakup, having an average rating for emotional pain being 6.84 and for physical pain as 4.21.

For men, the average is 6.58 for emotional pain and 3.75 for the physical. It does hurt but not as quite as painful as that of the women.

This, researchers theorize, could mean women invested more in a relationship than men do in general.

Women invest more in a relationship.

In a press release, Craig Morris, a lead author and a research associate at Binghamton University explained for this difference:

“Put simply, women are evolved to invest far more in a relationship than a man. A brief romantic encounter could lead to nine months of pregnancy followed by many years of lactation for an ancestral woman, while the man may have ‘left the scene’ literally minutes after the encounter, with no further biological investment. It is this ‘risk’ of higher biological investment that, over evolutionary time, has made women choosier about selecting a high quality mate. Hence, the loss of a relationship with a high quality mate ‘hurts’ more for a woman.”

Men feel the pain longer and more deeply.

Surprisingly, while women are hurting the most, they can move on with the passage of time.

For men, it’s different. They may move on after the breakup, but the loss will ferment and linger. It will take a while longer for the loss to sink in and they may feel it more deeply.

Social dynamics may also play a role in how men deal with breakups. Getting over it is the acceptable norm but a rather harmful course of action to take.

The above differences do not just show the effects breakups have but may explain the difference in the way men and women approach each relationship.

The more serious they treat it, the more it hurts when things won’t work out the way they planned it to be.

Whatever the case, breakups hurt for both men and women. For women the pain might be stronger at the beginning but for men it lasts longer and feels deeper.

10 Tips How To Become The Best Person That You Can Be

Journey

September 5, 2018

We all have bigger potential within us than we think we have. We can be and do much, much more. We can influence the world on a much bigger scale.

Success in all areas of life depends largely on how you carry yourself. Whether you want to be the best lover or worker, you can’t become one without having to work for it.

You need to be the best that you can be before you can attract the best things and the best people to come your way.

You need to be aware, though, that becoming your best self doesn’t mean things will flow smoothly in your life. You may still encounter hardships along the way.

Yet, these things are easy to handle when you have become the best version of yourself. The suggestions below will help you become one.

10 Tips How To Become The Best Person:

1. Love yourself the way you want to be loved.

There is no one in the world who can provide you the love that you need except your own self. You alone know yourself inside out, including your strengths, weaknesses, failures, successes, and quirkiness.

If you can love yourself despite some of the things that you hate in yourself, then it would be easier for others to love you the same.

In the same way, you can’t love others for who they truly are if you can’t love yourself for who you really are. Make it a point to love yourself genuinely and be energetically vibrant.

2. Go deeper and discover the beauty within you.

As Aristotle pointed out, “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.” It’s because while growing up, we have been conditioned to believe we need to become someone else.

Seeing yourself other than who you really are may block you from seeing your true beauty.

You are a divine being destined to spark. But you can’t see yourself this way unless you connect to yourself much more deeply.

3. Accept your own uniqueness.

Avoid the pitfall of comparing yourselves with others. You have your own journey and have a different path to take.

Don’t be afraid to express your unique self because that is who you are. You don’t need approval or validation.

Follow your own unfolding and focus on your unique gifts. You alone carry the kind of gift you are intended to share with the world.

4. Forgive and heal yourself.

Carrying grudges decreases your life force. Forgive others even if they don’t ask for it. Forgive yourself too.

Healing begins with the act of forgiveness. When you forgive, you free yourself and heal yourself from all the pains that you may have accumulated for so long.

Once freed, you begin to gain access to your life force.

5. Be aware of your inner critic.

Most often, your inner critic is your worst critic, telling you to be more than what you can be. Don’t fight this inner critic because you will only waste your energy.

Instead, be more compassionate with yourself.

When this critic speaks tell yourself how much you love yourself for all that you are. Love conquers all, your inner critic included.

6. Follow your gut feeling.

Learn to honor your gut feeling or intuition.

Most often, it carries the answers to your questions and serves as a guide in making important decisions.

Your intuition is your inner knowing that only wants the best for you.

7. Practice meditation.

A regular practice of meditation goes a long way.

Meditating for at least 15 to 20 minutes a day is enough to calm your mind, free you from stress, and enhance your well being.

It’s also a great means of connecting with your inner being.

8. Honor your body.

Your body is your physical manifestation in this world. It’s how others connect to you on a physical level.

When it’s in good shape, your connections outside and inside can go smoothly.

Give it the self care that it needs. Feed it with nourishing food, get enough rest, and do physical exercises.

9. Design your best life.

You have in your capacity the full power to design your life the way that inspires you to wake up every morning with vigor and excitement.

You can create a unique living that suits your special needs.

It’s the kind of life that may not be the ideal one in the world’s standards, but one where love prospers and where you can be absolutely happy.

10. Strive to make a difference in your small part of the world.

Wherever you are, you can make a difference in your own unique way.

Your contribution may be small, but giving all your best to the world can create ripples that will ultimately touch the lives of more people than you could expect.

Even becoming the best person that you can be is enough to create a spark in the hearts of others that you may come into contact with.

Remember, the greatest person you are to meet in this world is still within you. Awaken that person and be the best that you can be.

The Speech From “The Great Dictator” Is What The Whole World Needs To Hear

“We want to live by each other’s happiness not by each other’s misery!” — The Great Dictator

It’s easy to think that the whole world is against you. It really is. If just one little thing doesn’t go your way you think that people conspire against you.

We all do this. You can just go outside and you can see it on other people’s faces. They walk down the street with a fazed out look, overthinking about things, miserable.

We were taught to believe that everyone wants to take advantage over us. News and media preach this agenda every day.

But the truth is that we don’t hate each other. In fact, we might love each other just a little too much.

But we don’t want to accept this fact because we think it would make us vulnerable. We think loving others is naive and foolish. Yet, this is all our nature.

We love each other. We don’t want to harm one another, we want to see each other happy. Why do you think smiling is addictive?

Laughter, happiness and positivity is attractive. It’s what we cheer for. And it’s not our laughter, it’s other people’s laughter, other people’s happiness and positivity.

Why do you think we feel good when we help other people? We get the real reward when we help because we feel so good.

It’s because we want each other to be happy. By default we are all on the same team until ego and false beliefs separate us in different teams and opposing sides.

But we are all in the same boat. We are all citizens of planet earth and carriers of humanity’s flame. We are all followers of a religion of love.

You can best realize this when you watch the video below. It’s one of the best speeches and it’s from the movie “The Great Dictator” with Charlie Chaplin.

One Of The Best Speeches In The World:

How To Become An Empowered Empath

Attitude

Nezel Padayhag

September 3, 2018

As sensitive souls, empaths are very susceptible to energies around them. Those who don’t know they’re one, end up feeling drained and grumpy.

They may believe something is wrong with them when the real cause of their worn out emotions are the energies they have picked up from the people or situations surrounding them. If you’ve been accustomed to feeling or sensing the emotions of others, chances are you could be an empath.

The main characteristics of an empath include people pleasing, feeling you’re responsible for other people’s mood, getting drained in crowded places, or feeling uncomfortable with some types of people and feeling at ease with others even if you just meet them for the first time.

But don’t feel that because other people’s energy drains you, you’re already a victim of circumstances. The truth is, as an empath, you are a powerful healer.

There is only one catch though, you need to heal yourself first before you can go out and heal others. You need to provide for your own needs first.

A lot of suggestions to heal as an empath include raising your vibration, spending time alone, being with nature, and giving time for self care. All of these are a big help. But if these things aren’t that effective, what you need may be the things that help you manage your energy and empower yourself.

You may try the following suggestions. When you have followed them through, you may discover how powerful you are as an empath.

3 Ways To Empower Yourself As An Empath:

1. Cleanse yourself of lower vibration energies.

In recent years, scientists have come to recognize that everything in the universe is made out of energy.

This means whether you are in a direct contact with a person or an object, they both vibrate on an energetic level.

And the energy they’re vibrating could either be in lower or higher levels.

The important thing is and where most of us get this thing wrong is believing that empaths can take on the energy of negative people, that’s why empaths should avoid them.

But the truth is, you can only take on the energy of others when you vibrate in the same frequency as theirs whether it be on lower or higher levels.

In order not to pick up the lower vibrations of others, you need to make sure that you’re vibrating at higher frequency levels.

Because you’re only human and couldn’t be positive all the time, when you’re feeling low, try to stay inside to avoid picking up low vibrating energies.

It’s also a wise idea to do rituals that keep your energy vibrating at its best.

2. Take responsibility for your energy.

While it may be true that external factors may play a big part in what you feel, surrendering to that fact makes you feel a victim.

Your mind is so powerful and the universe knows it. When you believe that you need to shield yourself because you’re susceptible to negative vibrations, the universe will go its way to prove to you that you indeed need a shield.

The situations that you have created in your mind will take place to let you know that you’re right in needing a protection or in becoming drained due to the negative energies around you.

As an empath, you’re not under attack.

Your energies are just strong enough to sense the energies around you.

Once you feel these energies, don’t judge them. See them as they are, energies, whether they’re higher or lower vibrations. See everything from a place of love and wholeness.

This doesn’t mean you need to disregard doing the things that raise your vibration. This only serves as a reminder for you to take responsibility for yourself because taking responsibility is empowering yourself in the process.

3. Do everything it takes to develop your love for self.

Self love doesn’t equate with selfishness. In a world where sacrifice for others is looked upon as a noble act, doing things for yourself is considered selfish.

True selfishness is doing things for others even when you no longer can’t just to avoid being labeled as selfish. This is disempowering.

There’s nothing wrong when you want to please people because you’re happy to see them happy. But when you do it often and do it to gain approval, you’re giving your power away.

You’re not loving yourself. You’re doing things out of fear of rejection. Loving yourself is creating healthy boundaries. It’s saying no when you need to.

All of us needs self love whether we’re empaths or not. It’s where our true power comes from.

The following 9 practices will help you in your journey to self love:

1. Let go of disempowering beliefs and listen closely to your gut feelings.

2. Give yourself healthy and nutritious food, which have their own frequencies too.

3. Surround yourself with people who love and support you.

4. Don’t feel responsible for other people’s emotions.

5. Find your own voice and express yourself.

6. Know that pleasing everyone is not your duty.

7. Do more of the things that you love doing and engage in inspiring hobbies and activities.

8. Let go of the victim mentality.

9. Own your power and share your gifts with the world.

On your journey to self love, many challenges may come your way. Repressed emotions and old patterns may surface for clearing and healing.

Howsoever tough the journey may seem, just keep going because, as an empath, you are here to channel your healing and loving energies to others.

This can only be fulfilled when you begin to love and empower yourself the way you’re created to be.

Astrology And Cosmic Update For September 2018: Here is What September is Bringing for Each Person

Journey

Dejan

September 3, 2018

The past couple of months were really intense in terms of energy. They demanded us to go deep within, to face our shadows.

These intense energies made us take a step back as a way of going further. And this month we are finally ready to start moving forward again.

This month is all about letting go of the old and starting the new. It’s about shedding the old skin and creating new identities.

It’s about starting new projects and completely changing our life to be the best we can imagine. It’s a start of a new chapter, one that we all have been waiting for so long.

But we needed to wait because we needed to really solve our inner stuff first, to really know what we would like to become.

It’s a month to clean up the baggage the intense energies purified us from and create a new improved model of who we would like to become.

Here Is What Astrologists Say September Has In Store For Each Person:

September is a month to plan, a month to take inventory, and a month to think about what new actions we wish to take.

In fact, motivation will be high in September with Mars and Mercury both moving direct and Saturn to follow on the 6th.

The New Moon happens to fall on the 9th and it is going to help us to get more grounded and allow us to see things clearly.

It is going to bring a lot of clarity and will help us to make sense of things that have been cloudy or uncertain.

This newfound clarity is going to allow us to feel awakened and more confident when it comes to the next phase of the cycle.

This clarity is also going to be extremely healing, and will help us to tune into the wisdom of our mind, body, and soul.

From September 16th to 18th, Uranus and Mars will finish off an intense dance they have been working on since May 2018.

Uranus is the planet of innovation, rebellion, and change, and Mars is the planet of motivation, action, and finding your inner warrior.

This final activation of Uranus and Mars energy is going to help motivate and inspire us to take action.

We may even see themes from earlier in the year reappear in order to be completed or finished off once and for all.

Mars and Uranus are a volatile combination, however since May they have provided us with a lot of growth and a lot of opportunities to tap into our authentic selves.

Then on September 24th we have the Full Moon which falls in the fire sign of Aries bringing a strong energetic momentum of action.

This potent Full Moon has a lot of strength behind it, and we are really going to be pushed by the Universe to take action.

Although most of 2018 has been sluggish, September offers the chance to make some leaps and to put plans into place that have been in the works for sometime.

September is a month to honor just how far you have come. It’s a month to use your imagination and decide where you will aim next.

Think of September as graduation month, a time where you can celebrate the lessons learnt and the journey you have traveled this year so far.

September holds the vibration of number 9. In numerology, number 9 represents the completion phase before a new cycle begins.

September is a month when new energies and possibilities will become available to use in order to become the best version of yourself you can be.

5 Bad Habits That Weaken Your Energy Field And Positive Habits To Replace Them With

Journey

Nezel Padayhag

September 2, 2018

Your energy field or the electromagnetic energy field that surrounds you depends much on your health and lifestyle.

It reflects your personal energy and affects your ability to connect with others. A healthy energy field is a good indicator of living the life you want.

If it’s weak, you will lack motivation and vitality for making your life better, personally and professionally. A weakened energy field also makes you more susceptible to negativity.

While there are scientific explanations behind the feelings of fatigue, in most cases it still comes down to one important thing, your energy has weakened because of bad habits.

These habits might vary, from wrong diets and bad sleeping patterns to stress, activities that harm your health, even not following your purpose.

Weakened energy field is the symptom of some underlying problem, it is an indicator that something in your lifestyle is draining your energy and disrupting your energy flow.

You fail to see the harm done because it happens gradually and on a daily basis. When you notice the difference your energy field has already weakened.

To protect your energy field you need to know the things that weaken it, as well as the ways to strengthen it.

It all comes down to how you structurize your lifestyle and what kind of habits you integrate in it. Here are some bad habits you should avoid and replace with positive ones.

5 Bad Habits That Weaken Your Energy And What To Do Instead:

1. Addiction to social media.

Even though there are good and inspirational things that you see on social media, it is still outnumbered by the negative ones. If you’re not aware, you’re likely to be influenced by the negativity that you get from there. The amount of time and energy spent in pointless internet browsing also diminishes your energy.

What to do instead: Spend more time with people who uplift your energy.

There are people who simply good for your energy. Instead of being sucked into social media feeds, meet up with someone who uplifts your energy. Speak with them, converse on topics both of you are passionate about, talk about things that inspire you.

2. Poor sleep habits.

Regardless of what you do in the wee hours of the night, not having enough sleep is not good for your body. Your mind and body need adequate rest to be able to function well for the next day. A good sleep is a wise investment to gain more for the following day.

What to do instead: Have an exercise regimen.

Get your body moving. Engaging in physical activities gets your blood circulating and your energy going. Create a habit where you engage yourself physically, like swimming, running, yoga, walking, or any other activities that can sweat you.

3. Staying indoors all the time.

Not getting enough sunshine and fresh air is not good for your energy. The sun, most especially, provides you with warmth and uplifts your energy levels. It promotes the production of vitamins in your body. Staying indoors might make you depressed.

What to do instead: Go for a walk.

Walking has been found to have lots of mental and physical benefits. Aside from improving your mood and getting fresh air, walking is also the best way to get sunshine on your skin. The sun’s energy not only gives you a dose of vitamin D but it also purifies your mood.

4. Poor eating habits.

Poor eating habits accompanied by an unhealthy lifestyle is probably the greatest drainer of your energy. Most processed foods make you feel tired and lethargic. Organic and naturally grown foods are packed with natural energy that replenishes what your body loses.

What to do instead: Follow a nutritious diet.

A nutritious diet simply consists of naturally grown food. If it’s possible, grow your own organic veggies and fruits. Eating raw food is also a great way of getting the sun’s energy into your body.

5. Overthinking and stress.

Stress is the biggest enemy of the modern times. We overthink and stress about things daily. This is an addiction we all suffer from. Overthinking and dealing with stressful people every single day is almost inevitable, however, almost. It can be significantly reduced.

What to do instead: Do deep breathing and meditation exercises.

Deep breathing is a quick saver, especially when you’re feeling exhausted. Simply close your eyes, then slowly inhale and exhale deeply. Doing this for at least 5 minutes will calm your mind. A regular meditation is healthy and keeps you connected to your inner being.

Your body is said to be the temple of your soul. When you take good care of it, your soul is likely to shine, and this raises your energy levels. These are simple strategies, but if done on daily basis they can strengthen your energy field and keep negative energies at bay.
