People Are Having Strokes At Hair Salons And THIS Is Why…

In January 2014, Elizabeth Smith, a mother of two, had a stroke caused by a visit to the hair salon.

A CT scan revealed that an artery in her neck had been damaged by this shampoo chair and sink at Blowbunny: Blow Dry & Hair Extension Bar in San Diego, according to court documents.

In the medical world, they actually have a term for this: beauty parlor stroke.

While someone’s hair is getting shampooed, the arteries in their neck can get cut or torn due to hyperextension or any whiplash-type motions that happen during a salon visit.

“When one of those cervical arteries is damaged in some sort of way, you can get what’s called a dissection, which is damage of the inside of the blood vessel, leading to abnormal flow and clotting, and then those clots can shoot north into the brain and cause a stroke,” said Steven R. Zeiler, M.D., Ph.D., head of stroke research at Johns Hopkins.

“I was a bit skeptical when she first came in and said she had a stroke two weeks after she had gone in there, and there was no ostensible traumatic event there that seemed like it could be medical causation,” said personal injury attorney Spencer Busby. “When we got into it and saw what the doctors wrote, it was independent, reputable doctors who tied it into this event.”

“I asked every friend I had to check with their stylist, and it came back about 80% [of stylists] knew — not about the mechanism, but knew you could have a stroke getting your hair washed. So I thought, If they all know, this isn’t right,” said Smith.

To prevent future beauty parlor strokes, look for a chair where the neck is adjustable and there’s adequate neck support.

And if you’re ever concerned you’ve had a stroke, go straight to an emergency room.

“Common symptoms are loss of a use of a limb; all of a sudden you get weak on one side of the body; your face begins to droop; you begin to speak like you’re drunk; you might lose vision; the world is spinning around you horizontally or vertically; double vision,” said Zeiler.

This is all too familiar to me connecting the dots after reading Elizabeth’s case.

I lost my mother when I was 6 years old due to a stroke.

But I remember that the time she had the stroke was a couple of hours after she went to the hair salon.

After she washed her hair she actually reported feeling a little bit nauseous, I remember my family speaking about this.

And a couple of hours later she had the stroke.

This idea of the sink probably being the cause for the stroke always lingered in my mind. However, after reading this buzzfeed’s article and the story of Elizabeth it may actually be true.

I know that no one meant or intended for something bad to happen to my mother.

However, a bigger awareness about this so called “beauty parlor stroke” can save lives.

“To put it into perspective, driving your car is probably more dangerous than going to a beauty salon. It’s a very rare thing.” said Zeiler.

But as you can see, it can happen!

The next time you go to your hair salon please be careful!

Put a towel if you need to, so what if you get a little wet…

“They’re teaching techniques so that some people have their hair washed in a different way as opposed to having the neck lay back,” said Busby.

“That makes Elizabeth very happy. One of the things she’s focusing on here is that they’re aware of this danger and take some precautions in the future of it not happening again.”

THIS is How to Know if You Have a GUARDIAN ANGEL?! Just Look at Your Hand…

Palmistry is an ancient art that many people traced back to India. From there, it spread to China, Egypt, Greece, and Europe. Although most believe palmistry to be superstition, others consider it an ancient science.

“Many doctors and psychologists who have investigated its science have shown from their conclusions that hands have the potential to reveal a person’s character, health and psychological states.” (source)

Guardian angel lines are rare, but also very powerful!

These lines are formed, on the left hand, when a family member or close friend dies. The line signifies that they are now traveling alongside you as a spirit guide or guardian angel.

A Letter Albert Einstein Wrote for a Time-Capsule in 1939 PERFECTLY Describes The Reality We Live In Today!

A Letter Albert Einstein Wrote for a Time-Capsule in 1939 PERFECTLY Describes The Reality We Live In Today!

“…The development of this world of thought is in a certain sense a continuous flight from wonder.

A wonder of this kind I experienced as a child of four or five years when my father showed me a compass. That this needle behaved in such a determined way did not at all fit in the kind of occurrences that could find a place in the unconscious world of concepts (efficacy produced by direct “touch”). I can still remember — or at least believe I can remember — that this experience made a deep and lasting impression upon me. Something deeply hidden had to be behind things.”

Albert Einstein describes his first touch with the immerseful mystery which is all around us. He describes his first urge to dive into the unknown forces of The Universe and explore, discover and invent.

Each of us has been introduced to this urge.

That’s how the world advances, that’s how we develop new technologies and master sciences.

However, for many of us this forward acceleration into new inventions is scary.

We live in fear of our self doubt and the global doubt of humanity.

And Einstein clearly explains why is that in this letter he wrote for the 1939 World’s Fair time-capsule, (March 14, 1879–April 18, 1955)

“Our time is rich in inventive minds, the inventions of which could facilitate our lives considerably. We are crossing the seas by power and utilize power also in order to relieve humanity from all tiring muscular work. We have learned to fly and we are able to send messages and news without any difficulty over the entire world through electric waves.

However, the production and distribution of commodities is entirely unorganized so that everybody must live in fear of being eliminated from the economic cycle, in this way suffering for the want of everything. Furthermore, people living in different countries kill each other at irregular time intervals, so that also for this reason anyone who thinks about the future must live in fear and terror. This is due to the fact that the intelligence and character of the masses are incomparably lower than the intelligence and character of the few who produce something valuable for the community.

I trust that posterity will read these statements with a feeling of proud and justified superiority.” – Albert Einstein

A BREATHTAKING Love Letter Written by Albert Einstein will Change The Way You See Him FOREVER!

A BREATHTAKING Love Letter Written by Albert Einstein will Change The Way You See Him FOREVER!

Probably the ONE thing that very few people know about Albert Einstein is his love towards Mileva, the girl who will later become his wife and mother of his two children.

There are numerous letters collected which are written by Albert Einstein for his soulmate.

They are pretty interesting and fun to read as they give you a picture of another Albert, one full of romance, boldness, heart, and a… smooth flirter?

“Dear little sweetheart,”

Albert Einstein starts the letter.

“Once again I’ve let a few lazy days slip by without accomplishing anything. You know, the kind of days when you sleep late because there’s nothing important to do, then go out until the room has been made up, and then study until fatigue sets in. Then you loaf around for a while and half-heartedly look forward to dinner, listlessly contemplating highly philosophical questions while whistling a little… How was I able to live alone before, my little everything? Without you I lack self-confidence, passion for work, and enjoyment of life — in short, without you, my life is no life.”

…

“Don’t study too hard when your books come; rest instead, so you can become my old street urchin again. There is only one thing I ask of you, and that is to take care of yourself — if not, then I’ll spank you…” – The smooth lover Albert Einstein writes to his soulmate.

“With best wishes and tender kisses, the last especially, from your

Albert” – Albert finishes the letter.

After a while, Albert and his family go on a vacation.

He then, writes another letter to his loved Mileva about how his parents do not approve of his love towards her:

“My parents are very worried about my love for you. Mama often cries bitterly and I don’t have a single moment of peace here. My parents weep for me almost as if I had died. Again and again they complain that I have brought misfortune upon myself by my devotion to you… Oh Dollie, it’s enough to drive one mad! … If only they knew you! But it’s as if they’re under a spell, thinking all the while that I am…

I’ll only be able to recover from this vacation gradually, by being in your arms — there are worse things in life than exams. Now I know. This is worse than any external problem.

My only diversion is studying, which I am pursuing with redoubled effort, and my only hope is you, my dear, faithful soul. Without the thought of you I would no longer want to live among this sorry herd of humans. But having you makes me proud, and your love makes me happy I will be doubly happy when I can press you close to my heart once again and see those loving eyes which shine for me alone, and kiss your sweet mouth which trembles blissfully for me alone…

Kissing you from the bottom of my heart, your

Sweetheart” Albert finishes the letter.

Two weeks later, he writes:

“No matter what happens, we’ll have the most wonderful life in the world. Pleasant work and being together — and what’s more, we now answer to no one, can stand on our own feet, and enjoy our youth to the utmost. Who could have it any better? When we have scraped together enough money, we can buy bicycles and take a bike tour every couple of weeks.” – Albert finishes the letter reminding all of us about the most important things in life.

You see, no matter who you are and the quotient of your intellect, no matter if you unlock the secrets of The Universe there are things that are of immeasurable importance to all of us.

Even though for the grander scheme these things may not be seen as important, but riding a bike on a sunny day with your loved one, listening to music, being embraced in their hug on a starry night, dancing and laughing to silly jokes is what gives meaning and real importance to our lives.

At the end of the day, life is about these things, not about how big of a brain you have.

Scientists Have Figured Out How To Delete And Edit Memories, But Are We Ready?

Scientists Have Figured Out How To Delete And Edit Memories, But Are We Ready?

Probably the most interesting subject for me to talk about is “Memory”.

It’s what makes us who we are, or more accurately, who we think we are.

But what is memory? Does it have a shape? Is it stored somewhere?

Memory is more of a process, a sequence of actions than a single object to be observed.

Scientists have proven that each memory is a sequence of electrical impulses firing through certain neurons.

Imagine something like this: Your memory of the last time you ate a chocolate icecream is a sequence of 1-2-1-2-1-3 where each number is a specific neuron. And your memory of the last time you kissed your partner is a sequence of 5-1-3-4-5-6-12

And this, let’s say .ZIP information of the certain sequence that needs to be fired for a certain memory is actually what your mind is constructed from.

What Type of Memories are There?

Short term memories do not have a big impact on your neurons and their position. However, long term memories reshape the way your neurons are positioned. New memories create new pathways between neurons and the more this pathway is repeated the stronger the memory becomes.

Core memories and memories you have created while you were young are more impactful than most of your adult memories because you have built many memories upon them baring their context and information.

Entering your subconscious and unconscious is actually entering your mind on a deep level to access these childhood memories that impact us all.

Is There Something Even Deeper than Core Memories?

However, psychologists have reported that when in hypnosis, if a patient is led too deep into the subconscious and unconscious the patient starts recalling memories that have not happened to them, or not at least in this lifetime.

By this we can assume that the deepest form of memories are stored in our soul.

And another more interesting correlation between facts is the discovery that the heart contains neurons of its own and the fact that the heart is the first organ to develop in an embryo.

Could it be possible that our soul develops the neural activity in our hearts as soon as we start developing in our mother’s belly? And, by this logic, our soul enters through our hearts, which is a place most of us naturally point when speaking about our soul.

Alright, We Went a Little Bit Off The Topic Here!

Memory is the glue that binds our mental lives. No doubt about that.

Without it, we’d be prisoners of the present, unable to use the lessons of the past to change our future. From our first kiss to where we put our keys, memory represents who we are and how we learn and navigate the world.

Unlike we have thought till now, researchers are discovering that memory is far more malleable, always being written and rewritten, not just by us but by others.

Neuroscientists using cutting-edge techniques are exploring the precise molecular mechanisms of memory. By studying a range of individuals ranging—from an 11-year-old whiz-kid who remembers every detail of his life to a woman who had memories implanted—scientists have uncovered a provocative idea:

What if we can EDIT our memories?

If you’re thinking about how these studies might relate to the movie Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, you’re not far off. Among the subjects the film studies, the research of Karim Nader is explored. Nader discovered that the human memory may not be permanent but may, instead, be vulnerable to alteration each time a memory is recalled.

Did you know that each time you are recalling something, you are not remembering the actual situation, but the last time you recalled that thing?!

Yes. And with time, this is how many of our memories get distorted and some may even tell a different truth than what actually happened.

This is a new discovery that experimental methods like implanting a false memory use.

Professor Julia Shaw, who is a researcher that the film follows as well, is an expert on false memory and the implantation of memories. Her research, which has a 70% success rate for convincing people that they committed a crime that they actually were not involved in, reveals the flaws in the criminal justice system and prisoners who were convicted purely based on eyewitness testimony that was likely faulty.

What if scientists have really discovered a way we can edit, upload and delete memories?

But most importantly,

Are we really ready for a discovery like this? Is the collective consciousness ready to wield a discovery like this?

THIS is How The Sad Moments of Your Life Can KILL The Kid In You! And How to Prevent that!

THIS is How The Sad Moments of Your Life Can KILL The Kid In You! And How to Prevent that!

All of us have dark times in our life. Sad moments. There are times in which all you want to do is run! Run away as far away as you can!

Times when you feel like not a single soul in the world understands what you try to say. Times you feel alone, left and forgotten.

But none of those moments is as dark as every happy moment you miss because you’re trying to run away from accepting all the bad poopoo that happened in your life.

Let me explain.

We are all born and we grow up with a childlike wonder and hope.

We run around without worry, we hope without worry, we love without worry.

But as we grow up things which are outside of our control strike, things not in harmony with our truth. We lose a loved one, we are ridiculed, misunderstood, blamed, scared, hurt, and taught things about the world which are FAR from our truth. We call these moments dark moments.

Most of us suppress these moments, wait for a little time to pass so we can get back on the everyday regular track of life, living our truth.

But we are changed!

We are not playing without worry, we are not hoping without worry, we are not loving without worry anymore.

Why?

Because as much as we don’t want to admit and accept those “dark” moments that happened in our life, they did, and as much as we want to suppress them a part of us knows about them.

So we go through our life worried and scared. We are not filled with wonder anymore but fear.

We call this being a grown up. But it’s not. It’s a result of not accepting the darkness.

You see, it is funny, because we do not accept the darkness we cannot fully be the light.

I realized something today.

As I spoke to a dear friend of mine, as I whined about my “dark” moments, I realized that there were also good times. Great times!

There were times I forgot about because I was too busy running away from the “dark” moments that happened. Times I missed enjoying while they were happening because I was too worried.

But once I expressed my “dark” times, once I accepted that there were some sad moments in my life I remembered.

I remembered that even though there are some sad moments, most of our lives are filled with happy ones.

If we are busy running away from the sadness we will miss on most of the happiness.

I was liberated!

I was scared that my life is filled with sad moments and I ran away from accepting that sad things happened to me.

I was scared that they will kill the kid in me.

But exactly this “running away” made me scared because I was unable to see the reality.

That’s what was killing the kid in me!

Once I accepted the sadness that happened in my life I was able to see the happiness.

And I wasn’t scared anymore. I wasn’t worried anymore.

I started playing, hoping and loving without worrying again. I was filled with childlike wonder again.

To Conclude

Life is a series of sad moments and a lot more happy moments. That’s all so completely normal.

There are not dark moments or light moments! There are only moments.

In some of them you are sad in some you are happy. That’s what being a human means. That’s what gives depth to life.
And your truth is the same in all of them. You are YOU in all of them.

Running away of what happened always distorts reality and introduces monsters that do not exist. It makes you think that you are not enough for the world.

But the reality is that you are always enough. You can be fooled that you are not, but you are!

Children do not worry, or even think at all, about not being enough. They are just who they are. And by accepting the world as it is you are free to be as you are.

That’s how you gain back your childlike essence, play, hope, love, wonder.

The Dalai Lama Says More Hard Hitting Words About The Mass Brainwashing Of Society

The Dalai Lama Says More Hard Hitting Words About The Mass Brainwashing Of Society

The 14th Dalai Lama of Tibet is always garnering a lot of attention, and for good reason.

Most recently, he told the world that simply praying is not the answer for the incident that occurred in Paris, as well as other similar atrocities that seem to happen all over the globe.

He stated that humans have created this problem, and now we are asking God to solve it, which makes no sense. If we created this mess, we should be the ones to solve it, not God. His comments went viral, resonating with many people around the world who realize that action on a mass scale is required at this time to change the direction in which our planet seems to be headed.

Intertwined with the Paris attacks are the realities of war, and there is a great piece written on the Dalai Lama’s website regarding the mass brainwashing of human beings.

This is something we touch upon regularly on our website, especially when it comes to incidents of terrorism and war, along with the creation of these groups who are carrying out these attacks all over the world. He writes:

Of course, war and the large military establishments are the greatest sources of violence in the world. Whether their purpose is defensive or offensive, these vast powerful organizations exist solely to kill human beings. We should think carefully about the reality of war. Most of us have been conditioned to regard military combat as exciting and glamorous – an opportunity for men to prove their competence and courage. Since armies are legal, we feel that war is acceptable; in general, nobody feels that war is criminal or that accepting it is criminal attitude. In fact, we have been brainwashed. War is neither glamorous nor attractive. It is monstrous. Its very nature is one of tragedy and suffering. (source)

This statement really hits home. If you think about it, these vast and powerful organizations, and the military in general, “exist solely to kill human beings.”

As the Dalai Lama touches upon, we are conditioned and made to believe that military service is something to be proud of. Sure, these men and women may be entering into the service in order to serve their country, with a tremendous amount of bravery and good hearted intentions going into that decision, but what they do not know is that this global war on terrorism is a complete fabrication.

The enemy they are made to believe they’re defending their country from is actually a product of their own country. As Dr. Michel Choissudovsky, University of Ottawa’s Emeritus Professor of Economics, tells us, the global war on terrorism is completely fake and based on fake premises. Soldiers have been brainwashed into thinking that they are going after an enemy and defending their own country when that same enemy is fully supported and financed by the Western military alliance. As the Dalai Lama argues, this is exactly why “we feel that war is acceptable,” because we are made to believe it’s a necessary course of action.

He then goes on to state that:

Modern warfare waged primarily with different forms of fire, but we are so conditioned to see it as thrilling that we talk about this or that marvelous weapon as a remarkable piece of technology without remembering that, if it is actually used, it will burn living people. War also strongly resembles a fire in the way it spreads. If one area gets weak, the commanding officer sends in reinforcements. This is throwing live people onto a fire. But because we have been brainwashed to think this way, we do not consider the suffering of individual soldiers. No soldiers want to be wounded or die. None of his loved ones wants any harm to come to him. If one soldier is killed, or maimed for life, at least another five or ten people – his relatives and friends – suffer as well. We should all be horrified by the extent of this tragedy, but we are too confused.(source)

The extent of this brainwashing is quite massive, and if we are going to stop the murder of other human beings and war in general, it is that ‘brainwashed’ soldier that needs to wake up.

It is a human being pulling the trigger, it is a human being giving the orders to do so, and it is a human being thinking that they are doing something good.

We are the reason war exists in the first place; we created it, we participate in it, and we prolong it. Just imagine what would happen if every human being on the planet refused to participate in war? This is why we say change needs to come from within, and as more soldiers wake up to what’s really happening here, more of them will simply refuse to go to war.

“No matter how malevolent or evil are the many murderous dictators who can currently oppress their nations and cause international problems, it is obvious that they cannot harm others or destroy countless human lives if they don’t have a military organization accepted and condoned by society.”(source)

The Dalai Lama then goes on to speak about how expensive war is. This is something many people think about – the fact that the money pumped into the military and the Department of Defense in the United States could completely alleviate poverty and hunger on our planet. That being said, money is made out of thin air, typed up on a computer screen and printed at will by the controlling elite.

We are talking about, as ex Canadian Defense Minister Paul Hellyer points out, “trillions, and I mean thousands of billions of dollars” that “have been spent on projects which both Congress and the Commander in Chief know nothing about.” Welcome to what president Eisenhower called the military industrial complex where, as he warned us, the rise for misplaced power exists and will persist. What would he say about what’s happened today?

The point is, if we are going to use money as a tool, why not take that many and allocate it to provide food, shelter and clothing for everybody on the planet? The defense expenditures of a couple of countries alone could do this no problem.

“We should feel fed up with the violence and killing going on around us. If a human being is killed by an animal, it’s sad, but if a human being is killed by another human being it’s unthinkable. We have to make a special effort to think of each other as fellow human beings, as our brothers and sisters.” – Dalai Lama (source)

Thank you Dalai Lama for having the courage to share such an important message with the world.
