Playing Music Has Drastic Effects on the Brain
Science has shown that musical training can change brain structure and function for the better. Furthermore, musicians tend to be more mentally alert, according to new research from a University of Montreal study.
"The more we know about the impact of music on really basic sensory processes, the more we can apply musical training to individuals who might have slower reaction times," said lead researcher Simon Landry. "As people get older, for example, we know their reaction times get slower," said Landry. "So if we know that playing a musical instrument increases reaction times, then maybe playing an instrument will be helpful for them."
Landry found that musicians have faster auditory, tactile, and audio-tactile reaction times. Musicians also have an altered statistical use of multisensory information. This means that they're better at integrating the inputs from various senses.
"Music probably does something unique," explains neuropsychologist Catherine Loveday of the University of Westminster. "It stimulates the brain in a very powerful way because of our emotional connection with it."
Interestingly, even brief periods of musical training can have long-lasting benefits. A 2013 study found that even those with moderate musical training preserved sharp processing of speech sounds. It was also able to increase resilience to any age-related decline in hearing.
Researchers also believe that playing music helps speech processing and learning in children with dyslexia. Furthermore, learning to play an instrument as a child can protect the brain against dementia. "Music reaches parts of the brain that other things can't," says Loveday. "It's a strong cognitive stimulus that grows the brain in a way that nothing else does, and the evidence that musical training enhances things like working memory and language is very robust."

Trees Are Your Friends
We all know that a walk in nature can help slow the maddening pace of modern life and bring us back into the moment, but a recent study tells us just how many trees are necessary to keep us calm. Researchers put people in stressful situations and then showed them 3-D videos of various cityscapes, each with different densities of tree cover. The thicker the tree-cover, the lower the subjects’ stress levels dropped.The researchers, from the University of Illinois and the University of Hong Kong, subjected 160 participants to various stressful scenarios, including having them prepare to deliver a speech, or perform a math test, in front of judges and cameras. Once the participants were fully stressed out, they viewed one of 10 six-minute videos of city streets that changed only in the amount of tree coverage, ranging from 0 to 70 percent.
What they found was the higher the density of trees, the lower the levels of stress the subjects reported. Inversely, the lower the density of trees, the less helpful the video was in helping the subject recover from stress. While this study, published in Environment and Behavior, was based on self-reported questionnaires, an earlier 2016 study, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, measured reduced physiological markers of stress in subjects simply looking at images of nature.
“The findings suggest that keeping a few snapshots of greenery around your work desk might not be a bad idea. When participants viewed the natural images in the experiment, their stress levels lowered, thanks to the activation of their parasympathetic nervous system--which controls certain rest functions,” Science Alert reports.
QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: In the absence of trees, use our E-1 Stress Relief formula. It stimulates the para-sympathetic nervous system, lowers blood pressure, creates subjective calm, and neutralizes the flight or fight response.
You Can't Handle the Truth, So Nature Steps In
Your skin feels warm on a summer day because the sun exists. That apple you just tasted sweet and that left juices on your fingers, it must have existed. Our senses tell us that reality is there, and we use reason to fill in the blanks — that is, we know the sun doesn't cease to exist at night even if we can't see it. But cognitive psychologist Donald Hoffman says we're misunderstanding our relationship with objective reality. In fact, he argues that evolution has cloaked us in a perceptional virtual reality. For our own good.The idea that we can't perceive objective reality in totality isn't new. We know everyone comes installed with cognitive biases and ego defense mechanisms. Our senses can be tricked by mirages and magicians. And for every person who sees a duck, another sees a rabbit. But Hoffman's hypothesis, which he wrote about in a recent issue of New Scientist, takes it a step further. He argues our perceptions don't contain the slightest approximation of reality; rather, they evolved to feed us a collective delusion to improve our fitness.
Using evolutionary game theory, Hoffman and his collaborators created computer simulations to observe how "truth strategies" (which see objective reality as is) compared with "pay-off strategies" (which focus on survival value). The simulations put organisms in an environment with a resource necessary to survival, but only in Goldilocks proportions. Consider water. Too much water, the organism drowns. Too little, it dies of thirst. Between these extremes, the organism slakes its thirst and lives on to breed another day.
Truth-strategy organisms who see the water level on a color scale--from red for low to green for high--see the reality of the water level. However, they don't know whether the water level is high enough to kill them. Pay-off-strategy organisms, conversely, simply see red when water levels would kill them and green for levels that won't. They are better equipped to survive.
"Evolution ruthlessly selects against truth strategies and for pay-off strategies," writes Hoffman. "An organism that sees objective reality is always less fit than an organism of equal complexity that sees fitness pay-offs. Seeing objective reality will make you extinct." Since humans aren't extinct, the simulation suggests we see an approximation of reality that shows us what we need to see, not how things really are.
QUANTUM HEALTH TIP: Human health can also be said to exist only in an ordered, non-chaotic, environment. When energies become chaotic, health and well-being suffer. Use Clean Sweep Clearing Spray to change your perceived chaos back into the Goldilocks Zone.
Health & Healing Hack of the Week
Take It AwayThis is another "energy shifting" practice. This works best by dropping your attention down to your heart center, and then address the discomfort or distress, saying "Take This Away". I believe this works because most pain and discomfort is a result of a "standing wave" of energy that can be broken up or collapsed by a simple request, calling upon Universal Grace to grant relief from a forgiving, smiling space. 1) Make the pain-discomfort-fear-worry or unwanted emotion smile. 2) See the condition as a shape. It has a form--it can be a blob, a structure, any shape. 3) Now, calmly smiling, gently say to yourself, "Take it away." 4) Observe it leaving. From 25 No Cost Health & Healing Hacks by Boyd Martin)

Some researchers believe data revealing the truth about our origins and about our connection to alien life can in fact be found by searching within. They posit that human beings were created as biological mirror images of our progenitors, a superior extraterrestrial civilization that paved the way for our existence millions of years ago.
A theory called "Many Interacting Worlds" is a spinoff of the many-worlds interpretation in quantum mechanics--an idea that posits that all possible alternative histories and futures are real, each representing an actual, though parallel, world. One problem with the many-worlds interpretation, however, has been that it is fundamentally untestable, since observations can only be made in our world. Happenings in these proposed "parallel" worlds can thus only be imagined.
Originally, two-pointing was delineated by Dr. Richard Bartlett as part of his body of work called "Matrix Energetics", and covered at length in his book by the same name. Two Pointing is a way to collapse an energy blockage by using two index fingers touching two points around an injured or painful area of the body. Do this using several different points. By putting the attention on two points simultaneously, it collapses the "standing wave" that is blocking or inhibiting energy flows across the painful area. Great first aid!

According to a new controversial theory, everything around us is intricately planned, and each and everyone's destiny has already been decided. The new theory suggests that time does not PASS and that everything is ever-present. In fact, time is not linear as we have been thinking all along, and everything around us is ever present. The researchers indicates that time should be regarded as a dimension of spacetime, as relativity theory holds--so it does not pass by us in some way, because spacetime doesn't. Instead, time is part of the uniform larger fabric of the universe, not something moving around inside it. According to a scientist, everything that has happened, and everything that will happen is in fact occurring at this very moment as time is positioned in space.
In the 1960s, historian and philosopher of science Thomas Kuhn published a book titled, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, which became very influential in both academic and popular circles. In this book, Kuhn proposed that paradigms—theoretical frameworks of scientific disciplines within which theories are formulated and experiments performed—can and should change because sooner or later, they fail to explain observed phenomena. According to Kuhn, when anomalies—experimental observations or other empirical evidence which violates the widely accepted theoretical framework—that the paradigm cannot accommodate accumulate, and persistent efforts by scientists fail to elucidate these anomalies, the scientific community begins to lose confidence in the dominant paradigm and a crisis period ensues. A new paradigm, competing with the old for supremacy, can now be entertained. This new paradigm is not just an extension of the old paradigm, but a completely different worldview.
When working by ourselves, the Zen koan, "What, in this present moment, is lacking?" can be helpful to ponder. Indeed, it is impossible to truly be in the present moment and actually object to something that is present–all things of that moment are accepted and taken as part of the perfection of that moment. To feel the harmony of all things that make up that moment is to be one with the moment. A sense of peace is an inevitable consequence.
There's a great mindfulness drill I learned about from Gary Douglas of Access Consciousness, and it is fun to do and very revealing of our motivations and true desires. There are different ways to do it, but a good starting one is to first determine a short path you are going to physically walk--say through your garden, or a short stretch of ground in a park--say, maybe 100 feet or so. Now, start walking, step by step, very slowly. As you slowly move, take in every bit of the five senses (or more). Observe the tendency to get bored, or hurry, or do something else with your mind. Instead, retrieve your attention back to the Walk. Observe the earth, the trees, the flowers, the grass, any flora and fauna, your breath, heart beat, pulses and other sensations. I've done this over a 100 foot stretch in a garden, taking 45 minutes to traverse the distance. At the end, I felt not only intimately connected with my surroundings, but also much more connected with Nature at large. The other version of this is to walk at a normal pace, but keeping your attention on everything you are sensing, and observing what the mind does. Refrain from following any particular thought sequence, such as thinking about future events, or plans, or past experiences. Keep it all in the NOW. Soon, you'll experience a deep, relaxing connection to Life and your place in the world. (From 
Welcome to the unfolding now as it reveals itself to this newly hatched, freshly awake Self. If anyone ever told me I'd experience self-realization in a spontaneous awakening at age 49, I'd have said something like, "yeah right, at what cost?" Because the catch is, the ego believes it's going to lose big time if it lets Awareness have a say. The truth is way more fun–the egoic self gets to take a backseat journey on the ride of a lifetime, a ride filled with delight and curiousity, peace and bliss. Join me on the adventures of One Self expressing through this one form called Lori Ann. An Awakened Soul Journey session with me provides a plunge into who you really are. Rather than spend an enormous amount of time, money and energy releasing the false or fictional self, this session is engineered to allow for a powerful transformative shift into the real you. To assist us in this discovery together, we will be working with my direct perception of your soul's unique imprint and path in this life. I will also be using my newly-created Awakened Dreamer Journey cards to provide you with an inspired visual map of your next steps in your awakening process. I am a translator for your soul and as such, I can't predict whether your soul has "goals" to set or not. Every session is different. But you can trust that when your soul has an agenda, it's amazingly magical and full of dazzle. 
EMF, or electro-magnetic fields, are pretty much everywhere within reach of a cell tower broadcast. This "electro-smog" has deleterious effects on the human bio-energetic system, directly interfering with the mitochondria and their electrical communications throughout the body. EMF's have been researched intensely over the past 30 years, and their adverse affects on the human immune system, reproductive system, and nervous systems, is well-documented. This situation is soon to ramp up considerably with the roll-out of widespread delivery of the 5-G broadcast for smartphones and other devices. Due to the higher frequency and power of the 5G signal, it reaches into the realm of frequencies that directly affect human cognition and other brain functions. Our Vital Force Transformers create a field around devices where they are placed that neutralizes the harmful component of an EMF broadcast, transforming the energy into beneficial frequencies for living things. This breakthrough technology has been extensively tested in laboratories by scientists. The transformers have been able to neutralize Gamma Rays--some of the most lethal of radiations--under laboratory conditions. The EMF "strips" are thin enough to mount under any smartphone case, and come in two sizes--one for specifically to fit smartphones, and a larger one for such devices as routers, TVs, microwaves, etc. Use discount code FACEBK20 for 20% off any Vital Force Transformer. 
The E-3 Revitalizing and Repair Lotion has been a mainstay for pain relief and first aid for over 20 years, helping thousands get to the root of their pain and resolving it. E-3 is based on quantum physics research, and works like "liquid acupuncture", re-establishing energy flows across the injured or painful area, which is the primary case of pain. E-3 immediately goes to work, speeding healing and bringing relief. E-3 is also excellent for wounds, insect bites--even acne, shown to cut healing time in half. E-3 works wonderfully on swellings, localized inflammation, and acute aches and pains. Although E-3 shines as first aid (and any household should have it), chronic pains and injuries benefit from long-term use. Apply E-3 on the palms and soles of the feet for whole-body benefits of increased energy connection. Use E-3 on the breastbone, over the thymus, to normalize the immune system. The subtle energy signature in E-3 is carried by a hypoallergenic non-greasy organic cream, that in itself is excellent for the skin.
