I got from About.com today an email informing me about a person that suffered a stroke and discovered so “Nirvana” she perceived herself and the rest of creation as “all part of the same magnificent field of shimmering energy.
I past that to you because it fits right into the themes that we handle here on my Blog and because it demonstrates that I am here not talking about some unreal and esoteric things. There is also a video on YouTube that I place here too where you can listen to that woman.
In 1996, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor had a stroke and found Nirvana. Leslie Kaufman writes in the New York Times (”A Superhighway to Bliss“) that as the parts of the neuroscientist’s brain failed, she perceived herself and the rest of creation as “all part of the same magnificent field of shimmering energy.”A burst blood vessel caused Dr. Bolte’s left temporal lob to stop working.
Your personality affects your health and ability to bounce back from illness. Here’s how personality traits such as hostility affect your body and immune system.
Your personality affects your health more than you may realize. Your personality traits not only affect your body and immune system, they can also speed up or slow down how quickly you recover from illness.
Does Personality Cause Cancer? Your personality affects your health because your personality traits dictate how you handle stress. If you are a “nice” person who doesn’t express anger or frustration appropriately, you could damage your health. Some doctors call this the “cancer personality” because personality affects cancer cells. If you’re too nice, you may be repressing negative emotions, which affects your health negatively. Heart disease or even cancer can develop from a suppressed immune system, which can be caused by not making waves and being polite at all costs. Certain personalities are more prone to certain diseases.
Men Versus Women
Researchers at Duke University Medical Center found that negative personality traits increase the risk of coronary heart disease. These negative personality traits include anxiety, hostility, anger, and bouts of depression. The traditional risk factors of heart disease are high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol levels, and extra weight. Each negative personality trait by itself is associated with heart disease; together the traits are the best predictor of your risk for developing heart disease. These researchers encourage doctors to diminish negative personality traits in an attempt to promote long-term health. Being aware of how your personality affects your health can add a few years to your life.
Interestingly – here’s a twist – this Duke study included males only. Studies of women have found that long-term hostility does not make women more vulnerable to heart disease. Women can be equally as hostile as men, but their heart health isn’t affected. Perhaps because women express feelings more openly? Hostile men are twice as likely to have poor heart health, higher cholesterol, and heavier BMI’s than men with low hostility. Women’s health affects personality differently than men’s health does.
Stress Levels
Both men and women who are easily stressed, moody, and nervous tend to have less protective immune systems. Your personality affects your health negatively if you take life too seriously - and you’ll report more symptoms of disease, too. People who are more vulnerable to stressful situations are also more vulnerable to various illnesses; this makes it clear how important it is to deal with stress! If you don’t deal with stress effectively, your personality will affect your health negatively.
The Mind-Body Connection
Harvard University Psychologist Ellen Langer found that many exercise benefits are due to the placebo effect. She studied 84 female housekeepers from seven hotels; approximately half the women were told that their work was enough to meet the requirements for a healthy, active lifestyle while the other half weren’t told anything. After a month, the first group lost an average of two pounds, lowered their blood pressure, and were significantly healthier as indicated by their body-mass index (BMI) than the second group. Langer concluded that health is significantly affected by mind set. So, your personality affects your health negatively or positively depending on your mindset.
Express Yourself
Expressing your emotions and releasing toxic energy is important in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and dodging disease. Expressing yourself appropriately includes pinpointing feelings, communicating honestly, and being physically active to release tension. Your personality affects your health, and it also dictates your energy levels and activities. To get healthy you may already know what relaxes and energizes you, or you may need to experiment a bit!

Most people are more comfortable with old problems than with new solutions.
– Anonymous
Comfort and Security:
It’s something that we all attempt to provide a sense of knowing - a feeling of safety. Familiarity brings with it a certain sense of control, a safe space where our fear of the unacknowledged is less domineering.
Comfort has its downside however. Have you ever stuck in a situation that was familiar, although you knew it wasn’t making you authentically happy? Have you ever thought of trying something, only to stop yourself without accepting a risk? Our attachment to comfortableness can be costly. It can cause us to resist change, which is necessary for growth.
One of life’s greatest lessons is learning to know comfort through constant change.
In order to attain a sense of peace and still reach our fullest potential, we must seek comfort through developing higher levels of trust and faith. When we can find comfort even in times of upheaval and change it is a sign of tremendous spiritual growth.
Reflect on comfort zones and what they mean to you in your life. Have you limited yourself by staying in familiar situations/conditions? How has this effected your level of joy, self-confidence, sense of purpose? What are some ways you can build the faith necessary to make changes and/or take chances?
Changing Habits to Improve your Personal Life
Habits, oh those nasty habits. Habits are developed from training, influences, observation, and practice. We develop many habits throughout our life, which some are good and others are bad. Good habits we can keep, but if one wants to improve their life the bad habits has to take a hike.
Getting rid of bad habits however is not easy, especially if an addiction is involved. For this reason, we can take a few steps to learning how you can change your habits.
Making excuses:
People wander through life making excuses. Anytime a person sees something complicated, they will often make excuses why they cannot deal with the problem. “This is just the way I am.” This is a common problem in the world, which we’ve all heard billions of times. If you are out to improve your life however, you need to say, “This is something that hinders me from achievement and I have the power to change it.
The first key to success is stop making excuses. Learn how to tell the truth. The truth is the only answer that leads you to improve your personal life. Once you learn to tell the truth, you will need to commit self to learning new behaviors and habits.
You can commit by choosing a new habit.
Today I am going to stop judging others and myself. This is a common mistake people make in the world. They spend time judging others and themselves. This gets them nowhere but in a world of chaos.
Do you think negative? I can’t change this. My life is full of nonsense, I can’t swing it anymore. Why me? Who put a tag on my head, saying persecute me. If you spend your life thinking negative and saying negative connotations, try changing your ways today. For instance, say, I can change something and I am going to. Instead of saying life is full of nonsense, accept it as truth yet move ahead to make your life better. Why me is a common question, which no one knows why, yet we have to accept it, make better decisions and move ahead. If you feel persecuted, ask you what you are doing that makes you feel this way. Do you have friends or family members weighing you down? If so, then kick their butt down the road and make new friends. No one in life is worth you suffering ongoing.
You have the power to make changes, yet you do not have the power to change other people.
When you start to make changes to improve your life, start small. Instead of jumping the gun, take baby steps to success. Too many times people try to change overnight. This only leads to frustration.
When you are working to change your life and habits make sure you seek support and feedback. You do not have to walk the road to success alone. Feedback is found at your library, the Internet, at colleges, and so on. You will find support along these channels as well. Ask someone you trust to support you and give you feedback when needed also.
Search also inside yourself for feedback by meditation, inside yourself you can find a nucleos that’ll give you the strength you need to make changes and improve your life.

The discipline can help to blossom new loves and strengthen existing ones.
Clarifying wrongly relationship
Years ago, for an interview, I asked the Buddhist teacher Namkhai Norbu why, according to him, in the West many couples end up with divorce, why is it so difficult to have a serene life as couple. I expect, from this important Lama reincarnate from the tradition Bon, a response highly spiritual, which had to do with values and ideals. He, however, wise, replied: “Because the people arrive at evening as if they were cards curled up, so stressed from work, by economics, from management of the many commitments that they have no more availability to listen to the other “.
Remove stress, facilitate the dialogue
The first way in which yoga can help the lives of couples is just that, because the practice has the ability to alleviate the burden of excessive stress, to put fatigue and irritation away, bringing calm and listening skills. “When my wife went to the gym - tells a manager for 40 years - she returned tired and irritable. Now, she frequents a yoga course, comes back more serene and our everyday life benefits it. “The sharing of the practice - says Andrea, a Venetian teacher of yoga boyfriend of a student he met during a spiritual retire - has created immediate strong meeting points.
Even our moments of conflict become a moment to put into practice yoga. When we have some confrontation, she tells me: “calm, let’s get into a higher plane.” Referring to the five “plans” (kosha) of the “Upanishads”, she suggests: “let us set into vijna kosha (the cover of conscience-consciousness).” Then we work a little ‘on the breath, we reconcile and then we can talk calmly. I think it is an added value to have a companion who practices yoga.
Reciprocal respect, Giorgio and Elizabeth, fellow yoga and life companions since 40 years, found (November’69) the Yoga Academy in Rome, where they teach still. “Yoga - explains Giorgio - offers the couples high benefits. In the spiritual journey, is said: “if you want to change the world begin by yourself.” In a couple who practice in mutual respect, everyone can see in the other their master. This creates a situation of greater consciousness that awaken the proper capacity. This proceeding together creates enormous benefits and multiplies the individual forces, together one is much stronger. Yoga is also a form of energetically enrichment for the couple, through the rituals of sexual union Tantra (maithuna) and the recitation of mantra. Thanks to these techniques can the partners enter the same spiritual wavelength. A family founded on these bases will be blessed by harmony, joy, beauty and happiness at all levels, and the children will be bearer of vibrations of very high love. For yoga we are not consist solely of physical body, we have many bodies, also a body made of happiness: ananda Mayan kosha. “After so many years of Wedding - confided a teacher married for thirty years could occur a fair wear of the gestures of love, but the emotional, spiritual and physical opening that yoga gives to sexuality permits to live it with renewed creativity, in an almost mystical dimension.
Assist the Eros
The Hatha Yoga improves the erotic life, because it increases the sensitivity of the body, and the ability to perceive and give pleasure. This is the second major advantage that Yoga can give a couple. Years ago, Carla the Turin teacher, writer and journalist, a person of deep sensitivity, told me the case of a pair of her students that however estimate and love one the other were unhappy because unsatisfied sexually. However, with the constancy to practice, gradually alleviate from the frustration. Their bodies became less rigid, more secure, more open, and lighter and with the passing of months increased the small gestures of mutual affection until, one evening, and she saw them leave hand in hand with a smile in the face so open as not to leave no doubt that their old problems had been overcome.
Common Aspirations
There is also third aspect that is very important for the life of the couples: the sharing of spiritual values. “If none of us two would practice - says Roberta, 30 years of Piedmont, a student of yoga who is in love of his teacher and married him - I am convinced that we would have meet the same and that our relationship would work equally well. It’s not just yoga that unites us, but especially the love for each other. Thanks to the practice of this ancient discipline, however, we live in a larger size, more airy, we feel to be part of something bigger of us, to share values that support us and give us strength. Renate and Moiz, founders of the Raja Yoga association of Milan, have just published the first part of their remarks to “Yoga Sutras” of Patañjali, as testimony of thirty years of teaching in common. As couple, they have been together for forty years. We are approached to yoga through a parallel path. The same basic sensitivity brought them, individually and together, to recognize in the same masters. “For us was it critical - they say - that in yoga they has been able to express themselves and flourish an aspiration, a research for both.
When it becomes obstacle Roberto, a doctor specialized in neurology and psychiatry, teacher in yoga training courses for teachers of the school of Yoga Ratna of Gabriella, asked the students, most already yoga teachers, to bring their experience. “It emerged - he told - that if only one member of the couple is dedicated to yoga arise difficulties. During practice, one of the two isolates and this can create doubts and apprehensions in the partners.
In addition, yoga involves different ways to consider the time, which may create misunderstandings. When, instead, yoga is shared all is good ‘. In Indian culture a married woman cannot receive a personal mantra by a teacher, because the spiritual bonds that are created between teacher and student can engrave fairly subtle on the psyche, causing changes that could bring away from her husband and shared common values. “Yoga will change you, it’s an evolutionary path” said to us students Gabriella, reminding us how sometimes to go forward one must leave what he has passed. Yoga as a means of knowledge helps and strengthens the couples with a good basic affinity, based on love, trust and confidence, while putting in question the wrong reports, not evolutionary. Brings to recognize where can manifest and deploy our profound nature, our kind of love.
In the myth
The first couple: Shiva and Parvati
In Indian mythology, even the highest icon of yoga, Shiva, the mighty god, the great ascetic, the perfect yogi, does not resist to love, particularly in courting the beautiful Parvati, the daughter of the mountain. He, covered with ash on the slopes of the Himalaya, spent his days immersed in deepest meditation, not even noticed that wonderful girl who was crazy for him. Therefore, she, but to make him fall in love, devoted to austere practices of yoga and transforms the fire of passion into the fire of spiritual research. Shiva, admired and seduced, assigns, grants and even they bride.

It Could Kill Faster than Smoking
All over the last years the personal effects of electromagnetism induces its cost though attributable to its invisibleness, it represents a thief with no face. Folks from around the world is monished to avoid holding their telephones to their ears as the radiation is sufficient to cook an egg and, that microwave ovens destruct the nutrients in our food, although we are behaving with trust to recognize whenever this is truthful or not.
A more touching fact are the effects that it is costing to certain animals that rely on navigation by applying specific frequency bandwidths correspondent to those applied from cell phone, conglomerates such as the bees whose almost disappearance constitutes more than a coincidence. This has happened in numerous continents simultaneously and it is acknowledged among investigators that the bees are not moribund; they’re departing their beehives presumptively as they cannot ascertain their way home.
The employment of frequencies causes an even more minacious frontlet if one looks at its employment as a military weapon system. The work of Nikola Tesla, the engineer who afforded us the electric current, was corralled and applied to develop HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research) Program www.haarp.alaska.edu/ which is capable of modifying climates, instigating Earthquakes and modifying human behavior because after all we are electromagnetic beings. See: The Military’s Pandora’s Box www.haarp.net/
Any cell located under a microscope constitutes ninety-nine percent pure spaces that means that we are constituted from pure energy which once combined with that what Tesla names the ‘Original Medium’, that is, cosmic, photonic energy, matter, what is expressed and sustained until energy is no longer present or an entity weakens it through entropy and cannot sustain the prevailing energy.
Health hazards from mobile phone by the radio waves emitted are absorbed by the human head wikipedia.org. The radio waves uttered by a GSM wikipedia.org can cause a apex power wikipedia.org of 2 watts wikipedia.org, and a US analogue phone featured a maximum transmit power of 3.6 watts . wikipedia.org
Accounted specific absorbed radiation (SAR) dispersion in an anatomical model of head next to a 125 mW dipole antenna. Peak SAR is 9.5 W/kg over 1 mg. (USAF/AFRL). image wikipedia.org
Beware the mobile phone? That’s a bit alike stating that phones are more compelling than biointelligent light energy existences. A cellphone can induce disorder through repeated exposure, but I post this not to validate but instead to call into question the too simplified assumption that far too many people might take to heart. And by talking of the heart, check into the Heartmath Institute that has demonstrated that our hearts fine-tune to the absolute frequency of the Earth called the Shumann Resonance, affirming an infrangibly relationship between this place we call home.
Do not forget where you come from and don’t let anyone convince you that we are anything less than the divine expression of infinite energies from this universe. It’s all interlaced. We are part of the unity and there is extraordinary peace of mind and great power in acknowledging this.
