These practices didn't stay lodged in the 1970s like a macramé plant holder, however. Several structured mindfulness programs have since been developed and are being implemented in clinical practice. One of these is mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), pioneered by Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, MPH, founding executive director of the Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, as reported in the Journal of American Medical Association.
From the quantum living viewpoint, this is a no-brainer. When we keep our attention fully in the present moment, with allowance of everything that is there, all the information about anything is available. This includes communications from the body. The body is constantly reporting to you on its condition--we call that "symptoms". Most of us have been trained to ignore or get rid of symptoms without getting to the cause of them. In order to find out the cause of symptoms in the body, a mindfulness practice is essential. Be there with the symptom(s). Ask them what they are, and what you can do to make the body more comfortable of pain free. This takes some practice, but after a while, you'll be getting very clear action point messages. Then the key, of course, is to respond and carry out any tasks indicated.
QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: Talk to your body. It's alive, it's conscious. In fact, talk to your plants, certainly your animals, and believe it or not, communicate with other inanimate objects in your life, such as your car, your clothes, your computer, your furniture. You will be surprised at what comes up! Use our Cosmic Eye gem elixir to amplify your intuition and sensitivity to subtle energies.
Acupressure point hooks you up to higher power
To treat the point, simply put your fingers behind both ears and thumbs pressing in on the top of the ear (see pic). Massage gently, while taking 3-5 deep, slow breaths. Do this once or twice a day (or more if you're having a bad one), and especially before bedtime.
The point is called the "Heavenly Gate" because it opens the body to higher spiritual energies, connecting the body to its source energy. Shen Men is a profound, marvelous point for heightening your body's overall wellness, and is a great "hack" for health over the long term.
QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: Our E-4 Ionic Mineral subtle energy formula connects the upper and lower energy centers of the body, and is a wonderful supplement for the immune system and nervous system. Taken in conjunction with using the Shen Men acupressure point technique, both are amplified and given a quantum leap in potency.
DNA discovered to be a carrier of memories
According to the Telegraph, Dr Brian Dias, from the department of psychiatry at Emory University, said: "From a translational perspective, our results allow us to appreciate how the experiences of a parent, before even conceiving offspring, markedly influence both structure and function in the nervous system of subsequent generations. Such a phenomenon may contribute to... disorders such as phobias, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder."
This suggests that experiences are somehow transferred from the brain into the genome, allowing them to be passed on to later generations. The researchers now hope to carry out further work to understand how the information comes to be stored on the DNA in the first place. They also want to explore whether similar effects can be seen in the genes of humans.
Professor Marcus Pembrey, a pediatric geneticist at University College London, said the work provided "compelling evidence" for the biological transmission of memory.
He added: "[This research] addresses the controversial subject of transmission of the 'memory' of ancestral experience down the generations. It is high time public health researchers took human transgenerational responses seriously."
QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: From a quantum perspective, this research and more broadly the science of epigenetics, is supported by the phenomena of quantum entanglement--where two quantum particles become "entangled" or share identical information without physical connection. Our intrepid quantum researcher, Dr. Yury Kronn, uses this very mechanism to infuse quantum information from one source into another. This is particularly interesting with our Trinity Gem Elixirs.

NEW from Pure Energy Rx: Subtle Energy Infused Himalayan Salt Lamps
This new application of subtle energy infusion into a Himalayan Salt Lamp has catapulted the natural benefits of salt lamps to a whole new level. We have infused the lamps with harmonizing, stabilizing subtle energies that greatly heighten the similar existing properties of the lamps, making the experience of the lamps a palpable and impressive one. Put one in the office or TV room to neutralize EMF, or "electro-smog". Put one in the bedroom for a soothing night light and negative ions for a restful sleep.
These lamps are approximately 12 inches tall, direct from Nepal, include an off-on rocker switch on an A/C cord, 4-watt light bulb, and a wooden base, $39.95. (MORE INFO)
Ayurvedic Bath Salts from Candice Covington
The ancient healing system of Ayurvedic Medicine observed that there were three basic types of energies ("doshas") in and around the human body: Air, Fire and Earth. All imbalances could be addressed by observing how the body responded and expressed these three energy states. When the body was fully balanced it was considered "tri-doshic". Our brilliant aromatherapist, Candice Covington, has developed bath salts that balance the various doshas. These wonderfully aromatic and energetic salts will melt away your stress and invigorate your energy. Oooooo...nice! (MORE INFO)

The Choice Trap
Our most powerful tool, choice, is also our most abused and unused. This basic mechanism of consciousness is the direct demonstration to ourselves of our power and powerlessness. Are we choosing the best life? Are we choosing to destroy it? Are we not making choices because we're afraid? Are we afraid of any choices at all?
There are a couple of "choosing hacks" I like to use to keep me mindful of the choices I'm making moment to moment. One is, "light or heavy". Say you've narrowed your choices down to two. Ask the question, "is this light or heavy"? One of the choices will seem lighter than the other one, or if they both seem heavy, there is another unacknowledged possibility you aren't considering. If they are both feeling light, well, then, have fun! Always favor lightness. It will serve as your North Star for navigating through your day.
Consciousness. It is the force that makes us tick, the cogent drive that makes you "you." It is our state of consciousness that bestows us with awareness and sensitivity to our surroundings, the ability to think for the future and remember the past, the ability to acknowledge one another as intelligent individuals, and much more. But what exactly is consciousness? MIT Physicist, Max Tegmark, believes he has found the answer to this question.
Dr. Emma Mardlin, a psychotherapist and practitioner of mind body medicine at the Pinnacle Practice in West Bridgford, says, "As the mind generally thinks in pictures, using good strong imagery can have a magnificent effect in terms of engraving positive messages deep in our neurology to effect desired physical change.
As a skeptic herself, Dr. Lissa Rankin makes an irrefutable case, documenting with cold, hard science that the medical establishment has been proving that the mind can heal the body for over 50 years.

Two Tools
There are two tools in 
TOOL NUMBER TWO: Interesting point of view. This is a very useful way to snap out of negativity of any kind, or to "reset" yourself when you realize you're being judgmental or making a bunch of conclusions not supported by evidence. Just say, "Interesting point of view I have that point of view." The self-observation that your behavior was the result of a specific point of view allows you to shift outside of it, and in so doing neutralizing the energy with that point of view. For example, I have late bedtime and late rising hours, and this morning someone was hammering on something next door. After waking up three or four times all grumpy about it, I remembered Interesting P.O.V. I made the statement a few times and lo and behold, I wasn't grumpy anymore, and was able to go back to sleep and not be awakened again by the noise. This is a good one for driving in traffic, too, or in any social gatherings or events. It keeps you light and in present-time awareness. Much more fun!
