1. Savor The Delights Of The day

Let Me Introduce You To MICRO-MOMENTS!

Hey, I saw this title for a study paper news release and started to yawn! [Savoring Happy Moments Helps Build Emotional Strength] It’s so OBVIOUS I thought, “Why are they wasting college funds studying something so boring and silly?”

But then… wait a minute! Barbara Fredrickson, a professor of psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, introduced this new word concept “micro-moment”.

I love it!

Frederickson had 86 volunteers provided daily "emotion reports" over a one-month period, instead of answering the usual general questions such as how much joy they felt over the last few months.

Getting those daily reports helped gather more accurate recollections of feelings and allowed us to capture emotional ups and downs.

"This study shows that if happiness is something you want out of life, then focusing daily on the small moments and cultivating positive emotions is the way to go," Frederickson said. "Those small moments let positive emotions blossom, and that helps you become more open. That openness then helps us build resources that can help us rebound better from adversity and stress, ward off depression and continue to grow."

Fredrickson also found that the levels of positive emotions that produced good benefits didn’t have to be sensational! Positive emotional growth could thrive, even in days that included negative emotions.

What all this comes down to is the importance of the need to to focus on small positive moments, or "micro-moments". These can produce good feelings.

To quote Frederickson, "A lot of times we get so wrapped up in thinking about the future and the past that we are blind to the goodness we are steeped in already, whether it's the beauty outside the window or the kind things that people are doing for you.”

The lesson is clear: it’s better to be open and flexible, to be appreciative of whatever good you do find in your daily circumstances, rather than focusing on bigger questions.

In that sense self-development books and seminars may do harm: focusing the person majorly on distant goals that can seem so remote, they do not contribute anything to the present, other than a sense of direction.

If we drive from San Francisco to Seattle, it would be a shame to think only of Seattle and ignore the scenery outside of the window: Mount Shasta, Oregon, The Columbia divide…

Same with delights of the day. Get it?

The Frederickson study was published in the June 2009 issue of the journal Emotion.

2. The Child That Never Was

Mothers behave differently after a stillbirth. Actually, MedicineNet.com reported this misleadingly as "no problem" and then quoted the actual study, which was that mothers who had experienced the loss of stillbirth seemed more neurotic and anxious about the subsequent child.

The children, incidentally, were described as "unaffected".

This particular study followed 52 first-time mothers whose previous pregnancy had ended in stillbirth and 51 first-time mothers who hadn't experienced stillbirth. The mothers were followed from pregnancy until their children were 6 to 8 years old.

The researchers found no significant differences between the children in the two groups. However, mothers who had suffered a stillbirth were more critical of their children and reported more child difficulties, in particular problems with their peers.

The study was published July 8 in The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry.

This returns us to the experiment I engaged in last year, looking at deep psychic issues of stillbirth, abortion and miscarriage. You can read this very controversial experiment here:

3. What Age Group Gets Most Injuries In The Bathtub?

Intuition (bad science, intuition!) tells me that the majority of injuries in the bathtub from slipping are suffered by aged adults.

Wrong! It’s kids under 4 who account for 54.3% of bathtub injuries, with a peak at 2 years of age.

More than 40,000 children are injured in slips and falls in bathtubs each year in the United States, according to a report published in the July 13, 2009 online edition of Pediatrics. Earlier studies of bathtub injuries concentrated on burns from hot water and drowning and near-drowning, not slips and injuries.

It happens a lot: about 120 kids a day are injured by slips and falls in bathtubs and showers and that number is constant over the 18 years the researchers looked at.

So whether you are a parent, or a grandparent, you need to look at this data. It’s important to use slip-resistant mats in and outside of bathtubs. Make sure there are minimum suds, because soap foam increases the risk of slipping considerably.

The researchers looked at some 791,200 bathtub- and shower-related injuries in children aged 18 and younger treated in emergency departments.

The most common injuries were cuts, which accounted for 59.5% of the injuries. Fall, slips and trips were the most common reason for injuries, accounting for 81% of all injuries, according to the report.

Most injuries were to the face (48%), followed by the head and neck (15%). Less than 3% of the children needed admitting to hospital. But that adds up to a staggering 43,000 children injured badly enough each year in bath and shower tumbles to warrant a trip to the emergency room.

Don’t wait; be pro-active.

4. More Nicolai Levashov...

Hi Doctor Keith,

I forwarded your email with the link to Nicolai Levashov video to a friend in Oregon. She is experiencing major healing effect from the videos. She is very sensitive to energy and felt the energy working mainly in head area from video one.

She also has had a long history of not being able to sleep and after watching the video she sleeps, all night sound as a rock, and needs to set the alarm now to wake up. Once she gets up she is still groggy until noon or one in the afternoon and this was more so with the first 7 viewing of the video. She says she feel like she has had psychic brain surgery. She has had one major migraine head ache but she was getting those before the videos.

Any uncomfortable effect she looks at as part of the healing that is going on. When she watched the second video she felt the energy being different and felt it in the head area at first but then felt the energy move down each chakra down all the way to the base or core chakra. I believe she is on about the 3rd viewing of the second video and reported a burn feeling in her arm today and also sleeping lots and being groggy.

She has had remote healing done before and says this feels different but for sure that something is being sent via the videos. I'm in total amazement with the effect she is having from the videos. I with have my second viewing of the 2nd video tonight, but have not really felt anything.

You can "tune in" the Nicolai and see if it works for you here: http://www.levashov.info/Video/video-en.html

Another good report, this time a male:

I've been "doing" the Nicolai Levashov "test". I've completed the 1st seance (10 times) & am now half through the 2nd seance. Being male I'm probably a little less sensitive than the ladies. However I feel I sense something. My intellect asks me if it is the placebo effect. I don't know & it might be just as good anyway. I would be more comfortable with the whole presentation if it were not so jazzed up with the blue or purple aura the film maker has put around him (tasteless shades of Hollywood). The entire presentation is quite glitzy.

I worked for a professional psychic in the San Francisco area back in the early 70's. I gave up a very well paying job to accept the small paying job with her. My education certainly began then. As I went to meet her I expected crescent moons, stars etc. Instead I found a normal off white office with very ordinary normal people & a very "grounded" psychic who laughed easily. She crossed over in 02 of a stroke & I still value her wisdom very highly.

As an example; I asked about the 2nd coming of the Christ. For clarification she asked "the Christ within or the Christ without?" I walked away dumbfounded. As I pondered this it dawned on me; if the Christ within doesn't come - it doesn't matter.

Betty, how can I ever repay you? You don't repay kindness "Hon" - you pass it on. And much much more.

Anyway - In answer to your question & my observations.
Thank you

Very sincerely,
Roy

Room for just one more:

After watching the video on Nicolai Levashov and reading much fascinating material on his web site, I chose to try the healing process discussed.

At first turn I did not feel anything while watching. Just went to sleep, trusted the process and watched again the following day. After about 3-4 days I noticed I was feel ing quite clear and very grounded. With each passing day I feel my spiritual growth if you will, grounded ness and clarity intensifying. Some day's I felt it better not to watch as my movement was so fast "I" could not catch up...

I have begun the 2nd level and am having the same experience.
The "quickening" is so rapid, I have to sometimes skip several day's to let myself adjust.

Just reading some of his materials on the web site moves me in a similar way!
I have shared the work of Nicolai with several others including my daughter and so far they are all continuing to watch the healing video's and feel very drawn to his work.

Thank you for sharing this amazing opening with us.

5. Are You PeeTotal!

Will recycling urine into drinking water solve the problem of water scarcity?

On May 20, three astronauts held up silver pouches containing a special new beverage available onboard the International Space Station: water recycled from their own urine.

Shades of Arrachis! (Frank Herbert's novel “Dune”, 1970s, in case you don’t know) In this science fiction classic those who lived on the arid world of Dune wore “still suits” (as in distill) which trapped their own sweat, urine etc and recycled the precious water.

The day may come when we find ourselves wearing still suits here on Earth. That would be the ultimate human irony: to turn the “water planet”, three fourths covered by oceans, into a dry, unproductive world due to mismanagement of our environment.

As droughts reach record levels worldwide, no one is asking the tough question: What happens when there is not enough water to go around?

Over the last decade, 15 to 20 percent decreases in precipitation have been recorded. These water losses have been accompanied by record temperatures and increasing wildfires in areas where populations have been growing rapidly. A fierce drought has settled in, of the hundred-year variety.

Perhaps it’s wrong to talk any more of “drought”; it’s climate change, pure and simple. Countries all over the world are experiencing dramatically less precipitation. As I discussed only this morning with Vivien on our walkaround, where is the rain going? I’ve heard of widespread loss of rainfall but never heard of any country which is getting it instead, have you?

I think rain and fresh water is just… well, disappearing! It could become a thing of the past.

Check out this piece in the NY Times: “The Future Is Drying Up”.

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/21/magazine/21water-t.html?_r=1

By the way, cars can run on urine. Well, at least urine is a ready source of hydrogen (urea contains a lot of hydrogen and it’s easily available).

Think of the advantages: if you run out of fuel on a lonely backroad, just pee into the tank!

6. Raymond Royal Rife Revisited (Rife machines).

Last week (July 23rd) we had a great teleclass about the advances in Rife technology. Few people know that his discoveries have become mainstream medicine. Oncologists are now using frequency generators as part of their work.

It began about 20 years ago as what is called "electrochemotherapy". That was using electromagnetic frequency generators to lightly damage cells, enough to make them porous and so absorb chemotherapy drugs. It meant that less of the toxic chemo would have the same effect.

Pretty good!

But then it went further and doctors began to ask "What if we drop the chemo and just blast the cells with frequency radiation?" It was found to work; Rife had already proved it. But modern scientists do not quote Rife, they call the process "irreversible electroporation". Poration just means to make the cells leak. If they are made irreversibly leaky, cells die, hence " irreversible electroporation".

Hey Presto! If you Google irreversible electroporation, you find hundreds of references to it. The US government database of medical studies (PubMed) has many articles listed.

To commemorate this shift of emphasis--and to train enthusiasts to think differently and use different terms such as these--I have drawn up a useful eBook on the subject of "Irreversible Electroporation". It's free to everyone, you can download it here:

What's In A Word?

Fecund.

This is a word I love. It means fertile, fruitful. It comes from the Latin: fecundus.

It's a bit like seminal: fruitful, related to the word semen. But fecund has more delicious intellectual overtones. According to Webster's fertile implies abundant production of offspring or fruit; fecund also implies abundant offspring or fruit, but also figuratively, abundant creations of the mind! (like Abba, Shakespeare, Hokusai, Mozart and Charles Dickens).

This Week's Quote:

Science initiated a successful dialogue with Nature. On the other hand, the first outcome of this dialogue was the discovery of a silent world. This is the paradox of classical science. It revealed to men a dead, passive Nature, a Nature that behaves as an automaton which, once programmed, continued to follow the rules inscribed in the program. In this sense the dialogue with Nature isolated man from Nature instead of bringing him closer to it. A triumph of human reason turned into a sad truth. It seemed that science debased everything it touched.

Ilya Prigogine and Isabelle Stengers "Order Out Of Chaos"

So, that's all for this week!

Be well; find the sacred in all you do, otherwise don't do it!
