It's ALL GOOD News

We all could use a dose of Good News - it's like medicine for the soul. Never before has there been a better time to restore our faith in humanity.

Meanwhile, I know I'm not the only one that complains about and boycotts the news media. It's pretty obvious there's a heck of a lot of fearmongering happening and sadly "if it bleeds, it leads" is the motto of news stations and news papers everywhere. I refuse to be manipulated that way, lose hope, or buy into it.

Who hasn't thought, "why can't there a good news channel?" Well I just found one - it's a wonderful website that had the same idea. Check it out: http://optimistworld.com/News.aspx Why not write & upload your own good news stories. Woohoo - it's Genius.

Gregg Braden at the “YOU CAN HEAL YOUR LIFE” CONFERENCE –San Jose, CA Sept. 12, 2009

GREGG BRADEN was humble and lighthearted as he shared about major discoveries that merges modern science with ancient wisdoms from across the planet. Below are my notes from his lecture. Later I will share notes from the other speakers.

ABOUT EARTH CHANGES: There is an energy source at the center of our Milky Way that affects life on earth. And there are vast cycles of how our planet physically moves in relation to this energy source/the center of our galaxy. And where our planet is in those moving cycles of time and space location determines how we are influenced.

Right now we are at the end of the 5^th of 5 World Age cycles that make up one cycle of 25,626 years, called the Great Cycle. This 5^th cycle that is coming to an end began in August 3114 BC and ends Dec. 2012.

The extreme global changes( reflected in climate change, species extinctions, wars, economic structural changes, health crises etc) are occurring because we are living during the end of a 5,125 year World Age cycle AND the ending of at 25,626 year planet procession or Great Cycle. This places our planets position in direct alignment with the galactic core and the electromagnetic energy that pulses from therein. This energy affects everything in its path, including us physically, right to our core. So while he spoke about the great endings we are living through he reminds us it not an end but a major beginning of new cycles, and thus evolution and dramatic shifts.

LONGEVITY In his global travels one of the many things he would research was longevity in the various cultures. He spoke of the wisdom coming from studying people over 120 years old. The core teaching is about how we handle our emotions and our environment. If one can develop a heart centered life, that is, to be loving and compassionate in spite of all the pain/suffering/loss that is inherent in life, and to cultivate happiness. He gave examples of generating happiness within the family unit/grandchildren and friendships, especially spiritual friendships. Hurts from loss can limit your life because how long can your heart bear unresolved grief and hurt? In this way, how we feel about our world controls our longevity and health.

POWER OF OUR HEART Science has proven that the physical heart organ (and thus what we feel energetically in our heartspace) is 100 times more powerful electrically than the brain organ (and corresponding thoughts). The heart organ is 5,000 times more magnetically powerful than our brain as well. This supports the importance of understanding the true value and power of our own heart center to create health and happiness versus thinking our way into those desired states[1]. And also it underscores the importance of knowing how to clear out suffering in our heartspace to achieve long life and happiness.

9/11 & POWER IN NUMBERS Gregg spoke about 2 satellites[2], one each hovering 22,000 miles ABOVE both the north & south poles that exist to measure the earth’s geo-magnetic fields. Both of these satellites recorded massive spikes in the geomagnetic field on 9/11/01 in the time following the World Trade Center disaster. Science has accepted the conclusion that the intense emotions felt by humanity affected the geomagnetic fields of the earth as reflected by the measurements captured by the satellites. It is easy to understand here the power of the hearts emotions that were unleashed that day when focused on this tragedy and how it was felt/registered at least 22,000 miles away from our planet. There are many groups that are working to harness the power the collective heart to bring about positive changes in this world and my favorite is Global Coherence Initiative[3] and Event Temples. They both coordinate people across the planet to unite online in a heartcentered way to bring about positive changes. There is power in numbers and the internet allows us to connect in an unprecedented way to unite and make a difference.

FOR YOUR EXCELLENT HEALTH

Howdy all – I’ve been getting a lot of good information on health from some great sources, have had good results already. Just thought I should share about 3 items in particular, especially vitamin D3. Long Healthy Happpy Life to you all - Antara

About Vitamin D3: – “There is hope for the Swine Flu – Vitamin D3 has been found in clinic research to be effective for both the prevention and treatment of influenza.”From fludaily.com

I started taking it a week ago because I heard from several sources its an excellent prevention for flu of all types including swine, and to replace the need for a vaccine (no no no). Since then I have researched other amazing benefits – prevention of plaque buildup (especially important for the heart and the brain/alzheimers prevention) and the list goes on and on, one of which is for your teeth & gums preventing loose teeth and gingivitis. take between 2000 to 4000 IU of it daily. IF you come down with flu, then read this article about how to increase the dose and other items to take. (it’s by a holistic MD)

My D3 story: I did not catch Vanessa’s flu while caretaking her for 2 days. That’s big. Also, My gums no longer bleed at all. I’m taking 4000iu daily.

Norma’s D3 story: D3 cleared up her intense body pains she had for weeks, and she found that not having sun created the pain (D3/sunlight deficiency).

Tumeric -- Using the seasoning Tumeric (active ingredient is Curcurmin) has amazing health benefits especially for the heart, see this article which discusses a long list of other benefits and also about taking the D3 and Curcumin combo.

Activator X --Finally, the 3^rd important item I wanted to share about was something called Activator X. Here’s an expert discussing it -- it’s fascinating research and is what is missing in modern diets. Basically its vitamin K2 that is found in certain oils/fatty substances and needs to be mixed with Vitamin A & Vitamin D to work its magic. You can google on where to purchase & other source info.

Praying for Peace

I am creating a video about prayer and world peace and making it through the "rainy" times that move through our lives. These are a few examples of the photos I'll be using. The music is by an amazing singer, check her out here: http://www.snatamkaur.com/web.html

Watch These TV specials

Today I am amazed at the specials on Nat Geographic TV channel -- "The Human Family Tree" --"The Genographic Project" -- "9/11 Science & Conspiracy" -- "Decoding the Dead Sea Scrolls"-- "CIA & Mind Control". I will skip the last one after seeing the chilling trailer but admitting these atrocities is a step forward.

The 9/11 one gives the conspiracy "truthers" a voice but as usual the debunkers are emphasized. What was interesting to me is the guy from Rolling Stone magazine who had a theory about people who believe in conspiracies. It's all good food for thought as I hold all theories out for examination.

The Human Family Tree show had several points which struck me -- ALL people, if you go back 70,000 years, originate in Africa. The fact that all humanity is literally RELATED underlines my belief in oneness. The visuals are fantastic and there is one that shows you floating in a massive stream of ancestors that is really staying with me. The Genographic Project is impressive in its scope, collecting DNA samples worldwide to trace the movements of our genetic heritage over time. Yet I cannot help but question if there is an underlying reason for collecting all these DNA samples, and why is IBM involved. Curiouser & curiouser.

All these shows do repeat on the NG channel or are available as DVDs I believe.

Medicine Buddha Festival June 2009

This past weekend I attended a festival honoring the Medicine Buddha. There was a long slow parade up a steep hill accompanied by gamelan gongs and bells and brightly colored umbrellas. There were monks & nuns and holy lamas in maroon and saffron robes from afar who held sticks of incense in honor of the blue skinned Medicine Buddha. A 24 foot tall gorgeous Tibetan Thangka of Buddha was carried uphill then unfurled above vast waterbowl, food, and flower offerings.

Meanwhile, humming in the lower quadrant of the Land of Medicine Buddha, was the radiating bliss-energy emanating from relics from Buddhas and Lamas. The relics included those of Shakyamuni Buddha, all of which were visiting and on display. Much honor and reverance was paid here by the festival goers. We even had the opportunity to have relics of Shakyamuni Buddha placed upon our heads and special prayers said for us. This was an opportunity I wasnt going to miss. Especially during these changing times, all blessings and light from the holy ones are welcome. There are more photos here: http://picasaweb.google.com/antara1111/LMBMay3009
