A recent article in Science Daily describes fascinating research to understand the mechanism by which deep breathing helps wellbeing. Breathing directly affects the levels of a natural chemical messenger in the brain called noradrenaline. When produced at the right levels, it acts like a brain fertilizer to help the brain grow new connections. The way we breathe, in other words, directly affects the chemistry of our brains in a way that can enhance our attention and improve our brain health. When stressed, we produce too much of this chemical and when tired, too little. "By focusing on and regulating your breathing you can optimize your attention level and likewise, by focusing on your attention level, your breathing becomes more synchronized," says the lead researcher. Another article on the science of breathing describes the anatomy of a breath cycle. Recent peer-reviewed research also shows that Pranayama (conscious breathing) improves quality of life for cancer patients and is an effective intervention in reducing stress and pain among advance stage patients of breast cancer.
You can benefit by making very small changes in your daily habits. If you pause for just two minutes four times a day to focus on your breath and do simple deep breathing, that's a full hour of deep breathing every week. Integrating 20 minutes of Pranayama in your daily routine will result in perceptible improvement in your physical, mental and emotional well-being.
"Breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness, which unites your body to your thoughts," says Thích Nh?t H?nh, the Vietnamese Buddhist monk and peace activist, "feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor."
QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: Use the Clean Sweep Clearing Spray when you do conscious breathing. Clean Sweep sets up a stress-releving energy field that allows for much deeper breathing and relaxation. Just a couple of spritzes around your space, and breath in the calm.
Information Overload is Changing How Humans Think
Mathematicians have confirmed that humanity's collective attention span is getting shorter. And it's not just social media that's to blame. They analysed historical book and movie ticket sales as well as Twitter data to show that people move on faster than ever before because increasing production and consumption of content leads to more rapid exhaustion of limited attention resources.
"It seems that the allocated attention in our collective minds has a certain size, but that the cultural items competing for that attention have become more densely packed," says Sune Lehmann, from the Technical University of Denmark (DTU). This would support the claim that it has indeed become more difficult to keep up to date on the news cycle, for example."
Researchers studied Twitter data from 2013 to 2016, books sales going back 100 years, movie ticket sales over 40 years, citations of scientific publications from the last 25 years, and data from Google Trends (2010-2018), Reddit (2010-2015) and Wikipedia (2012-2017). They found that from 2013 to 2016 "cultural items" had steeper attention curves, both ascending and descending. In other words, things became popular more quickly than before, but lost their popularity more quickly as well.
"Picturing topics as species that feed on human attention, we designed a mathematical model with three basic ingredients: 'hotness', ageing and the thirst for something new," says Philipp Hövel, from UCC. This model offers an interpretation of their observations. When more content is produced in less time, it exhausts the collective attention earlier. The shortened peak of public interest for one topic is directly followed by the next topic, because of the fierce competition for novelty.
"The one parameter in the model that was key in replicating the empirical findings was the input rate – the abundance of information," says Philipp Lorenz-Spreen, from the Max Planck Institute. "The world has become increasingly well connected in the past decades. This means that content is increasing in volume, which exhausts our attention and our urge for 'newness' causes us to collectively switch between topics more rapidly."
QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: There is a tendency to attempt to speed up, or force our attention when it comes to trying to "keep up with" information coming in. This causes stress, and ultimately is unproductive, because we hear what we need to hear no matter where we are or what we're doing. To more easily adopt this frame of mind, use our Zen Meditation Elixir while on the computer. It helps allow more selective focus, and more ease in following meaningful thought threads. Very useful!
Three Ways to Stop Self-Sabotage
While we all have our fair share of obstacles to overcome in life, in many cases, we are the biggest obstacles standing in our way. Thankfully, there are things we can all do to cut back on self-sabotaging behaviour.
1. Overthinking - One second we are excited about a new idea, and within hours, or sometimes minutes, we've concretely established three worst case scenarios, two of which have a 0.001% likelihood of ever occurring, and we've sold ourselves on the conclusion that we shouldn't even bother. Sound familiar?
Take any time out of your day to allow your mind to metaphorically dump by writing down the thoughts can be life-changing. Let yourself write literally anything and everything that comes to mind. It may feel counterproductive at first, but you'd be surprised at how often writing things out can make your thoughts feel heard, allowing you to more easily assess the healthy from the unhealthy and move past those that would have previously sabotaged your creativity.
2. Comparing Your Life to Others' Lives - With a couple of swipes and scrolls we can easily compare ourselves to hundreds of other people, most of which are portraying themselves and their lives inaccurately. If comparison is your "Achilles heel", there are two things you can do: 1) cut back on how much time you spend on social media, and 2) actively challenge yourself to celebrate rather than compare yourself to the accomplishments of others.
3. Following Any Distraction - Common ways that we do this include picking up our phones and checking social media, or using our fatigue to justify sitting on the couch and watching some TV, both of which always provide more than enough content for us to avoid or deny what it is we know would be hetter for us.
If distraction is your self-sabotage speciality, consider setting aside set periods each day where you do not allow yourself to engage with any form of technology. Whether you opt to read a book, meditate or spend some time out in nature, give your mind the daily opportunity to reacclimatize to what that experience feels like, and you may be pleasantly surprised by what it leads to.
QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: We always recommend the Vital Force Crystal, Inner Peace, for issues with self-sabotage. Inner Peace creates an energy field of allowance and self-love that goes deep into the core of what self-sabotage is all about.
Regardless of your writing ability, the process of writing down one's thoughts is an age-old, tried and true way of self inquiry. Often, you'll find yourself revealing a deep truth about life, a sub-conscious pattern or other conundrum by simply writing about it. Many proponents of this method insist that the best way to write is by hand with a pen or pencil--believing that the physical motions in some way amplify the psychological powers engaged in attempting to language our thoughts. I do not hold this belief myself, and prefer to type, and sometimes read what I typed out loud, even recording it a la podcast, and listening to it back. The mechanism at work here is "mirroring". By mirroring our thoughts "out in the physical world", it allows us to perceive our awarenesses and conclusions from a different angle, or perspective, thus giving us insights we would not necessarily have otherwise. Journaling is especially effective when there is a confusion of energies, or there is something about what you are experiencing that is a problem, conundrum or conflict. Write all about the different aspects of your feelings about the subject, and you are sure to come to some new awarenesses about the situation. You can then apply more tools as needed to clear any stuck energies. From 25 No Cost Health & Healing Hacks by Boyd Martin)

Vital Force Technology (VFT) lab has created Vital360 CBD formula that combines several energy patterns based on different extracts of the Cannabis plant and infused them into the full spectrum cannabinoid extract (Elixinol Hemp Oil). This differs from other hemp oils on the market in that more healing constituents of the cannabis plant are represented energetically within the oil, using a proprietary process developed by Russian physicist, Dr. Yury Kronn. This process increases the healing potential of the oil up to several orders of magnitude. Numerous studies confirm the importance of the endocannabinoid signaling system in decreasing acute and chronic pain, especially from inflammation. VitalForce360 Hemp Oil improves the body's homeostasis mechanism by supporting the human endocannabinoids system; improves overall wellness; is calming and soothing to the senses; helps replenish and sustain the body during stress; and improves poor concentration and overall weakness. Available in two levels of CBD concentrations. MORE INFO

"All policemen in training should be required to watch the entire series of 'Andy of Mayberry'," declared my younger brother out of the blue today during one of our marathon talking sessions. I've come to appreciate these talks because he's, first of all, a kook like me, and second of all we both increasingly have come to see human life as a spectator sport.
The point I'm laboring to make is that the more we become aware of the darkness, the more important it is to embrace the light. Embracing the light is not the arduous task the perpetrators of the dark side would have you believe, because we ARE ALREADY LIGHT. Consciousness IS light. So it's just a matter of being what you ARE, as you face what you are not. Yes, we all have that popular "dark side", and we've stored a lot of power in there in the form of unconscious energies we've purposely created or agreed to. But that doesn't mean we have to automatically be victimized by our own dark choices.
Seventy-nine participants wore a recording device over four days and were periodically recorded as they went about their lives. Out of more than 20,000 recordings, researchers identified the conversations as trivial small talk or substantive discussions.
The eye itself, which is continually exposed to ambient powerful photons that pass through various ocular tissues, emit spontaneous and visible light-induced ultraweak photon emissions. It has even been hypothesized that visible light induces delayed bioluminescence within the exposed eye tissue, providing an explanation for the origin of the negative afterimage. These light emissions have also been correlated with cerebral energy metabolism and oxidative stress within the mammalian brain.
"The longer the trip, the more healing occurs," says the geologist Peter Winn, who has been leading expeditions down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon since the 1960s. "Healing happens for people almost without exception."
In the ancient arts of Taoism, there are many "light meditations" to use in any number of ways. I recommend reading the works of Mantak Chia, a Taoist and QiGong master. One of the most basic uses of light, is to simply send it via the imagination to whatever needs healing in the body, whether it be a slight discomfort or an unwanted chronic condition. The body responds to light with its own healing powers, which are considerable. Imagine the light infusing and becoming the part of the body needing it. You'll find that by consistently using this method, healing will speed up, and the condition addressed will not "get worse" or have "complications". The light can be various colors, shapes, motions and intensities. The key is to KNOW this light is performing a valuable service to the body. Recent research on biophotons in the body backs up this ancient practice (see article above). From

I woke up suddenly the other night--it might have been the thunder of a Kansas spring, or a nearby train whistle in this railroad town--with a distinct voice in my head. Actually, a loud voice in my head: "There is no 'out there'!", it seemed to rant, then a short pause, and, "External, internal--it's all eternal."
