7 Early Warning Signs You Are Dealing With A Person Who Has An Evil Heart…

0

The world is a lovely place filled with loving people. At least, for us who make the extra effort to create a better world.

The hard truth is, your good deeds are oftentimes returned with untruthfulness by people who have difficulty finding their own light.

These people often appear really good in front of you but their actions are driven by an evil intent.

These are the people who are imprisoned by their own world thinking only of themselves and what they can get out of life.

What is an Evil Heart?

On the bigger picture, there is no such thing as good or evil in this Universe. Everything is just existing in a perfect cosmic balance.

However, on a much, much, much smaller scale, there is this planet Earth where humanity lives and inside this humanity there are some corrupted parts.

These corrupted parts are people who are so traumatized, or detached from the light inside their soul that all they obsess with is a personal agenda, no matter the cost.

These individuals have such neural formation in both, brain and heart, that their psyche is developed in a way that is truly evil from our human perspective.

They see past other people’s goodness because their mind is filled with schemes on how to destroy, harm or use others for their benefit.

They do not understand the concept of oneness but live in a way of them versus the world. They even hate the thought of seeing others happy.

In a way, the neural pathway that leads their self to peak a glimpse inside their soul is so twisted that they achieve this through bringing others pain and thriving on their negativity.

These people might already be present in your life now.

Spotting them and stopping them before they cause any harm is crucial.

Here is how to spot these Evil Hearts and immediately cut off your relationship with them before it’s too late:

1. They are great at distorting facts.

When these people get an information from you, they twist it into something that will make you appear bad. This is what they intend to do in the first place.

They make things appear different to make others doubt or lose their trust in you.

2. They will give you misleading information.

They don’t want you to see something as it truly is. Instead, they will mislead you to think the opposite.

They’re good at making mountains out of a molehill. And they find a delight in seeing how affected you could become.

3. They keep on lying to you and others.

Because they aren’t true to themselves and to you, these people will fabricate lies that harm you the most.

They will make something up to fill in the missing links, making the matter worse. They are the constant source of rumors, yet try to appear clean once things get messed up.

4. They are not owning up their mistakes.

They don’t take responsibility for their actions nor ask for an apology for every misdeed they commit.

When problems arise as a result of their own doings, they will blame you or others for it. Taking responsibility is a defeat for them. They hate to see themselves that way.

5. They don’t know how to feel guilty.

Though they are aware of the pain they may have caused you, they don’t feel bad about it. As long as they get something out of the situation they couldn’t care less.

If ruining your life is the only way to get what they want, they will do so without any second thoughts.

6. They withhold information intentionally.

People who have evil intent at you hate to see you being happy. As a result, they will withhold information that makes you happy and tell you only that which upsets you.

They choose to leave out part of something so that it appears awful, the way they want it to.

7. They won’t accept reality as it is.

They hate to see reality as it is because they only want to see what pleases them. All they want to see is the worst that could happen to you or others.

Thus, they will distort reality at all costs. They are great at evil schemes that they are most often successful in their evil plans.

Get Rid of Their Evil The Smart Way!

These type of people have no place in your life. No matter what you do, they will defy all your good intentions.

These people are the narcissists and psychopaths who disguised themselves as angels before you.

If you want to stay sane and protect yourself from any harm, take the courage to distance yourself away from these people. You don’t deserve the lies, much more to be used by them.

You are better than what they will ever think you are! So do the wise thing and get rid of them the smart way: cut them off from your life without any explanation!

Scientists Discover Biophotons In The Brain That Could Hint Our Consciousness is Directly Linked to Light!

0

Scientists found that neurons in mammalian brains were capable of producing photons of light, or “Biophotons”!

The photons, strangely enough, appear within the visible spectrum. They range from near-infrared through violet, or between 200 and 1,300 nanometers.

Scientists have an exciting suspicion that our brain’s neurons might be able to communicate through light. They suspect that our brain might have optical communication channels, but they have no idea what could be communicated.

our brain might have optical communication channels

Even more exciting, they claim that if there is an optical communication happening, the Biophotons our brains produce might be affected by quantum entanglement, meaning there can be a strong link between these photons, our consciousness and possibly what many cultures and religions refer to as Spirit.

In a couple of experiments scientist discovered that rat brains can pass just one biophoton per neuron a minute, but human brains could convey more than a billion biophotons per second.

This raises the question, could it be possible that the more light one can produce and communicate between neurons, the more conscious they are?

the more light one can produce

If there is any correlation between biophotons, light, and consciousness it can have strong implications that there is more to light than we are aware of.

Just think for a moment. Many texts and religions dating way back, since the dawn of human civilization have reported of saints, ascended beings and enlightened individuals having shining circles around their heads.

From Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome, to teachings of Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam and Christianity, among many other religions, sacred individuals were depicted with a shining circle in the form of a circular glow around their heads.

shining circle in the form of a circular glow around their heads

If they were as enlightened as they are described maybe this shining circle was just a result of the higher consciousness they operated with, hence a higher frequency and production of biophotons.

Maybe these individuals produced higher level of biophotons with stronger instensity because of their enlightenment, if there is any correlation between biophotons and consciousness.

Even the word enLIGHTenment suggests that this higher consciousness has something to do with light.

enLIGHTenment suggests that this higher consciousness has something to do with light

But one of the most exciting implications the discovery that our brains can produce light gives, is that maybe our consciousness and spirit are not contained within our bodies. This implication is completely overlooked by scientists.

Quantum entanglement says that 2 entangled photons react if one of the photons is affected no matter where the other photon is in The Universe without any delay.

Maybe there is a world that exists within light, and no matter where you are in The Universe photons can act as portals that enable communication between these 2 worlds. Maybe our spirit and consciousness communicate with our bodies through these biophotons. And the more light we produce the more we awaken and embody the wholeness of our consciousness.

Quantum Entanglement

This can explain the phenomenon of why the state of a photon is affected simply by consciously observing it, as it is proven in many quantum experiments.

Maybe our observation communicates something through our biophotons with the photon that is being observed, in a similar fashion as quantum entanglement, like light is just one unified substance that is scattered throughout our Universe and affected through each light particle.

Of course, nothing of this is even close to being a theory. But asking questions and shooting such metaphysical hypothesis might lead us closer to the truth and understanding of what consciousness is, where it comes from, and what are the mysteries that hide within light.

10 Ways You are Gaslighting Your Children and Its Consequences

0

It’s a tough world out there and you sure want your kids to be safe.

As parents, we discipline our children the best way we can. We want the best for them and we worry about every little detail.

However, most parents make the mistake of unintentionally gaslighting their children.

What is Gaslighting?

Gaslighting is a psychological concept of manipulation that makes someone question their own sanity.

Of course, you are not making your kid crazy. However, you might be making it to trust their own body, mind and emotions, less.

The definition of gaslighting is trying to convince someone that their experiences aren’t true. By discrediting our child’s emotions and feelings we are doing exactly this!

10 Common Situations Where We are Gaslighting Our Children:

Ways You are Gaslighting Your Children

– We are forcing them to finish their meals even when they’re full.

– We tell them they’re okay when they’re not.

– We convince them what they’re crying about isn’t worth their tears.

– We overexaggerate consequences like telling them they’ll get sick if they go out after showering.

– We invent things for them to fear so we can keep them under control.

– We discredit their childish passions by telling them there will be more important things once they grow up.

– We tell them the world is terrible and speaking to other people is not safe.

– We teach them not to question older people or authorities.

– We force them to believe in the same religion we do.

– We don’t take their emotions seriously, we don’t talk with them about their emotions or tell them not to feel a certain way.

By doing these, you are instilling in their minds that what they are experiencing isn’t real.

It is a harmful way of raising your children because it can have a negative impact on their mental health. It creates a false reality for them to live in until they find their own way.

Instead, you can help them see the world as it is and grow to be mentally strong. You should be their support and give them the freedom to choose their own constructs of reality through their own experiences.

As we said, nobody wants anything bad for their children and most of us do this gaslighting subconsciously and out of care.

If you find yourself unconsciously gaslighting your kids, it’s not yet too late. Here are the ways how you can stop from gaslighting them:

5 Ways to Stop Gaslighting Your Kids and Raise Them to Be Mentally Strong:

1. Don’t stop your child from throwing a tantrum.

When your child falls, never tell them to “brush it off! You’re okay,” or when they cry in the store for a chocolate they can’t have, never tell them to “stop crying or else I’ll give you enough reason to cry.”

Doing this to a child is inculcating in their young minds that life is hard and that they must learn the skills to handle such difficulty.

2. Allow your children to cry.

Never stop your children from crying. When you stop them, chances are they will find it hard to show their emotions when they are adults.

They might not be able to point out their anxiety, frustration or a deteriorating self-image because they never had the practice to learn their emotional language.

People cry to release excess stress brought about by an intense event. A child will cry over small things like a fall, a broken toy, or a wrong color cup.

Those things look small for adults, but for a child, they’re big things. When you address them of being needy, ungrateful, rude or whiny, you’re actually pushing them to feel as if something’s wrong with them.

By giving them the freedom to express very human emotions, we are giving them practice to have a mentally healthy life.

3. Allow your children to express human emotions.

Children are emotional beings because they are too young to express in words what they truly feel.

By allowing them to express their emotions, whether positive or negative, you’re giving them the practice needed to have a mentally healthy life.

4. Teach your children positive traits by being their model.

Teach them resilience, empathy, and compassion by showing these traits in yourself.

When you actually make your children feel these emotions, you no longer have to teach them. They already experience what they need to learn.

5. Never shut down your children’s emotions by changing your perspective.

Stop telling them to buck up. Stop telling them they’re too sensitive, overreacting or crying for no reason.

Instead of shutting down their emotions, try to understand what they are experiencing. Ask if they’re okay and empathize by saying, “I understand how you’re feeling. I would feel that way too if I were in your shoes.”

By validating their experiences, you are powerfully showing compassion and understanding.

Teaching a child how to be tough through gaslighting is not the best way to face a tough world. It could only make them question their own judgment, stop listening to their intuition or losing a sense of self-confidence.

When you manage to stop this gaslighting, you’re not only providing a positive impact for your children but for your grandchildren as well. By validating a child’s experiences, you stop future abuse and pave the way for a healthier and happier future generation.

Here is How to Easily Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind According to A Hindu Priest…

0

While some of us believe we are victims of our fate, others have tapped the hidden powers of reprogramming our minds to create the reality we wish to live.

The subconscious mind is compared to an unseen portion of an iceberg which remains underwater. This ‘underwater’ portion of the mind is always active, collecting and processing information even when we are asleep.

Your Subconsciousness is What You Call Fate!

The Freudian model of the unconscious states, the contents of the subregions of the mind are the primary guiding influence on a person’s behavior, habits, and urges.

While Carl Jung states that we have to pay attention to what’s going on in the lower parts of the mind, or else when we fail to bring to consciousness the unconscious, it will direct our life making us consider it as fate.

In truth, sages, monks, and those devoted to personal development have been reprogramming this subconscious part of the mind ever since.

They know how to reprogram this region of the mind with conscious intention using the process of affirmation and mantra.

Christina Sarich defines mantra as a specialized grouping of sounds and vibrations which affect the mental and physiological planes in a positive manner.

Mantras have been used by monks as a powerful means of creating desired positive outcomes in personality, habits, beliefs, and emotions.

How to Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind According to A Hindu Priest

The Hindu Priest, Dandapani, explains how this is achieved in an interview with Brian Rose of London Real:

– Using Mantra or affirmation beads to actually reprogram the subconscious.

– Chanting affirmations with each bead like “I am happy”, or “I am confident.”

– Repeating the same chant over and over with all the 108 beads.

Dandapani, however, emphasized that the key to being successful in using the mantras lies in the preparation. One must be skillful with the following key ingredients of the affirmation process:

3 Necessary Ingredients of The Affirmation ProcessHow to Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind According to A Hindu Priest

1. Concise choice of positive words.

One must choose words that are concise and positive like “I love apples.” It’s concise.

Yet, the mind recognizes the words “I” and “love,” but not apple. Simply because Apple represents a variety of choices that occur in the mind throughout the day.

There’s Washington Apples, crispy Apple, the Apple MacBook Pro Mac, the Apple iPad, iPhone, and many others. Here, words are not enough which leads us to the need for visualization.

2. Clear visualization

When you visualize red bright Apples, it’s when the mind recognizes it loves the red, bright apples. Only one particular type of Apple.

This shows how words and visualizations are important in the affirmation process.

3. Corresponding Feeling

Feeling is emotion, and emotion is energy.

The late Nikola Tesla encapsulates well the Hindu philosophy with these words, “To find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration.”

“Everything is made up of energy that’s vibrating at its own frequency. What we believe is that if your subconscious is filled with patterns that are vibrating at a certain frequency… and if you can go into your subconscious and create a pattern, infuse it with energy that’s vibrating at a certain frequency, you can attract things of a similar nature to it.

“So, if you go into your subconscious and repeat the concise positive words, clear visualization and infuse a feeling into it, what does it feel like, it starts to vibrate in the subconscious with that frequency. Now it attracts things with similar vibration or similar frequency to it.”

This is the main reason why people keep attracting the same person or events in their life.

Energy is just energy and doesn’t know what’s right or not right for you. That’s why feeling is the most important because it’s the actual energy that you attract.

When you know how the subconscious work, how to reprogram it, you can draw or bring into your life, anything that you want.

14 Signs You Are Too Hard On Yourself

0

Some people are too hard on themselves without being aware of it. They believe they are doing okay while constantly listening to the inner critic in their own heads.

A surefire sign that you are too hard on yourself is when asking help from other people isn’t an option for you. You tend to overthink things, you excessively feel bad over a mistake, or tend to worry a lot. All of these signs signal that you are over judging yourself.

While moderate self criticism might be constructive in some cases, this is too much. It may look okay to you, but it’ll bring you unwanted consequences in the long run.

Being constantly judged by your inner critic you are unable to openly be your true self who is sometimes flawed.

To know if you’re that hard on yourself, check out this list and find out if any of these signs are true for you:

14 Signs You Are Too Hard On YourselfSigns You Are Too Hard On Yourself

1. You’re your worst critic.

You try your best never to commit a mistake. Once you do, you feel like you don’t measure up and beat yourself up.

Like a broken record, you cannot keep yourself from replaying the scenarios in your head, thinking that things would have been different had you done it differently.

Instead of learning you are your own worst critic who shows no compassion if you commit the same mistake again.

2. You’re kind to others.

When your friend commits the same mistake that you’ve done, you’re not as tough.

Instead, you are very understanding and encouraging, giving them kind words to eliminate their worries.

Though you’re aware of this, you still cannot give the same kindness that you give others to yourself.

3. You keep on saying sorry.

Once you made a mistake, you quickly apologize for it. You even apologize for situations where you haven’t done any mistakes or nothing wrong happens.

Saying “sorry” seems to be a part of who you are because you keep saying it even when you’re already forgiven.

4. You overthink.

Overthinking is your way of life. Your thoughts keep on cycling over the things that took place and the things that may happen in the future.

You create different scenarios from past events, you think of the different outcomes and you worry about scenarios that most likely would never happen.

You keep on wondering whether you did the right thing, you’re doing the right thing, or if you’re able to do the right thing.

5. You don’t feel the need to ask for help.

You find it hard to ask for help from others. You want others to believe that you are competent and resourceful.

Asking for help is a sign of weakness for you because what you want others to see is that you are in control of everything.

6. You’re always eager to help others.

On the contrary, you’re quick to offer a helping hand when others need it. And you don’t even view them as weak or incompetent.

You simply understand that there are times when people need help. Only that you could not accept that fact in yourself.

7. You find difficulty in accepting criticism.

Whether true or not, you find it hard to take criticism. Criticisms consume you.

It’s because you hate making mistakes and are obsessed with doing the right thing only.

Most of the time you want everything you do to be perfect and some people would say you are a perfectionist.

8. You cannot take constructive criticism either.

Though you know constructive criticism can help you improve yourself, accepting it is a struggle for you.

But, despite that inner struggle, you still take those criticisms by heart. You still find it useful and apply it to make yourself better.

This is what tricks you to think that you are not too hard on yourself while you ignore the emotional aspect that those criticisms evoke in you.

9. You find difficulty in receiving compliments too.

While compliments make others happy, it makes you feel awkward.

When caught off guard, it will surprise you as if it is wrongly given to an undeserving person.

What’s more, even if you have a hard time receiving compliments, you’re eager to give it to others.

10. You hate making mistakes.

Once you commit a mistake, it is embedded in your brain and becomes a part of you. It’s really hard for you to let go of it even after you learn the lesson.

Though you know making mistakes is part of life, you hate making one.

It’s because once you do, you overthink of the consequences your mistakes have on others. This makes you guilty. And guilt gives additional reasons for your inner critic to judge you.

11. You guard your emotions.

You are very good in guarding your emotions. You don’t allow others in because you don’t want to be seen as delicate, vulnerable, or emotional.

You try as much as you can to maintain a strong personality, though inside you are tearing apart.

12. You’re always afraid of not measuring up.

You always find a flaw in yourself, your life, and your looks. It’s like the other person is always a better kind of a being.

Because you know your flaws enough, you constantly compare your worst side with the others’ best side.

You constantly worry of not measuring up, despite knowing that no one is ever perfect.

13. You want more from life.

You are hard on yourself because you desire greatness. Your goals revolve in perfection and ultimate success.

By this, anything that is less is unacceptable. You don’t give yourself a chance to be wrong and get better.

14. You work very, very hard.

You are a hard worker and do anything it takes to get the things done.

You don’t quit until the job is done or done it really, really well. And you don’t stop until you are sure that your work is impeccable and worthy.

Though you greatly desire for success, being hard on yourself can be negative for the quality of the life you live.

Stop being your own dictator!

Even though we need to have a small dose of self criticism to know what and where we need to improve, one needs to have an ample amount of self-love and self-esteem to be both truly successful and happy.

So stop being so hard on yourself. Show yourself love and kindness because you deserve it! You’ve been through a lot!

Nurture your heart and honor your emotions! Feel what you feel without explaining yourself why!

Don’t turn your back on yourself every time you make a mistake. That’s when you need your support the most!

In the end, how much you enjoyed your life is what matters the most!

10 Easy Steps to Train Your Brain to Let Go of Bad Habits

0

Letting go of bad habits comes easy once you understand how neural pathways are created in the brain.

Our nerve cells have superhighways called neural pathways that transmit messages. The more you travel over the superhighway, the more you solidify the pathway.

Activities like eating comfort foods for a longer period is forming a pathway in the brain.

The good news is our brain is constantly changing which makes it easier for us to forge new pathways and create new habits. This is due to our brain’s neuroplasticity which allows anything to be possible.

People who have previously suffered from strokes have the ability to retain their brains to keep functioning again by building new pathways. Anyone has the potential to learn new behaviors and attitudes that can transform their lives.

Whatever habits you wish to learn, as long as you have the will to do it, you’re able to build a new pathway and reprogram your brain. The following are the easy steps to do it:

10 Easy Steps to Train Your Brain to Let Go of Bad HabitsSteps to Train Your Brain to Let Go of Bad Habits

1. Recognize the habits you wish to change then set your intention.

Identify the old habits that no longer support you. Then set your intention for it.

The intention sets everything in motion. When your intention is high, you are bound to create new pathways in your brain.

2. Observe how your old habit or pathway affects you.

Lok at your emotions, your thoughts and the way your body responds to the habit. Then see the result that you desire to create.

Be aware of everything that’s going on inside of you. Be your own witness.

3. Consider where your focus is and shift it.

Shifting your focus is crucial in creating a new neural pathway. Normally, your focus falls on your old habits.

Take that focus off the old habits and let your focus fall on new ones. Stop paying attention to the comfort foods you used to crave and instead take your awareness to the wholesome foods that can make you healthy.

4. Strengthen your new habits with the use of your imagination.

If you find it difficult to replace old behaviors with new ones, use your imagination. Imagine the new behaviors over and over and over again.

Do this while taking a bath, walking the dog or while driving. The more you repeat the new behavior in your mind, the more you are likely to create new pathways.

5. Be aware of your thought patterns and interrupt it when old habits arise.

Building new pathways in your brain takes patience as you cannot instantly erase everything your brain learned.

When you notice that your falling in the old thought patterns, look at it and say “no” or “cancel.” Redirect your thoughts on the new behaviors you want to happen.

Keep doing that until you form the new habits.

6. Apply aversion therapy.

Aversion therapy does not work for everybody. But if you think it’ll work for you then use it.

For example, you’re addicted to candies, chocolates and everything sweet. It’s this old habit that you wish to change.

Every time you see this stuff and are about to be tempted to get one, tell yourself: “It’s junk and will definitely make my body sick.”

7. Specify what you want to do and create a plan.

Getting specific is making the new neural pathways official. Design a plan on what to do and how to do it.

You can choose to exercise instead of eating or eat fruit instead of candy.

If you feel affirmations and anchors can reinforce you in this endeavor, then feel free to do it. You may use, “I’m free” or “I’m in control.”

8. Take advantage of the obstacles.

When obstacles get in the way, take advantage of them and transform them into something useful. Look at the old habits from a different angle and see what you can get out of them.

Handle your stress in a manner that’s advantageous to you. Look for all the possibilities.

Incorporate the new ways of looking at your emotions and thoughts in the new pathway in your mind.

9. Seek inspiration and support from your Higher Source.

Look for your inner guidance. Once you feel the power within you, you feel powerful enough to do your mind work.

Meditation is said to create new pathways and brain changes. Studies had been conducted on monks’ brains to show how meditation affects the neural circuits of the brain.

10. Transform and make the shift.

Once you are ready to take the shift, it’s easier for you to transform and create new brain pathways. Just keep on believing that you can do it and you’ll eventually let go of the bad habits and embrace the new.

As our world is starting to take a spiritual shift, flow with it and do what you can to make yourself better able to cope with this shift, as well as guide others in their own journey of creating new neural pathways.
