A new, slightly strange studies shows that drinking champagne one to three times per week, can help to counteract memory loss, delay the onset of degenerative brain disorders and improve spatial memory.

The study carried out by scientists at the University of Reading suggests that phenolic acids found in champagne help to modulate the signals in the hippocampus and cortex which control learning and memory. Over time, proteins linked to the storage memories of the brain begin to break down resulting in atypical brain aging.

According to the study, phenolic compounds found in grapes pinot noir and pinot meunier, work to alter and improve the number of proteins, thereby increasing cognitive memory.

The research was conducted on two groups of aged lab rats. The first group were subjected to intaking a champagne supplement for six weeks, while the control group were fed alcohol supplements. The findings illustrated that the control group of rats exhibited no measurable changes, while the champagne supplemented rats exhibited improvements in spacial memory.

“These exciting results illustrate for the first time that the moderate consumption of champagne has the potential to influence cognitive functioning, such as memory. ” Professor Jeremy Spencer, Department of Food and Nutritional Sciences

Testing has yet to be carried out on humans but Dr David Vauzour, a researcher on the study, hopes to move forward with his research providing the following statement:

“In the near future we will be looking to translate these findings into humans. This has been achieved successfully with other polyphenol-rich foods, such as blueberry and cocoa, and we predict similar outcomes for moderate champagne intake on cognition in humans.” (source)

Phenolic acids are also present (in large quantities) in tea, coffee, red wine, plums, kiwis, cherries, citrus fruit, wheat, as well as other plants.

Breatharianism, or “pranic feeding” is known as the ability to sustain oneself without food and minimal, (if not any) water. Instead, all energy required to sustain the body is absorbed by conscious breath and collecting life force energy from the sun, known as prana or qi.

Pranic feeding is a practice that has been cultivated for thousands of years and is most commonly found in eastern traditions such as Hinduism and Buddhism.

Breatharianism however, is a topic that has not seen much attention in terms of its legitimacy in the field of scientific discovery, and while occasional fasting can be beneficial for overall health and well-being, it is a well-known fact that the human body cannot survive without food for more than an estimated 2-3 weeks or without water for more than 2-3 days.

Yet, doesn’t there always seem to be an exception to the rule?

In 2003, Prahlad Jani, a Yogi from India underwent vigorous testing after he made the outrageous claim that he had been living without food or water for 60 years. Due to his extraordinary story, a panel of 21 doctors decided to examine Jani, including a cardiologist, a neurologist, an endocrinologist and diabetologist, among others, to determine the accuracy of his claim.

Sexual energy is the energy of life itself. It is the source of all creation and the essence of the universe. It has always been a quest for humanity, to harness this sexual energy and use it to transform higher states of consciousness.

The desire for sexual expression is by far the strongest and most impelling of all the human emotions, and for this very reason this desire, when harnessed and transmuted into action, other than that of physical expression, may raise one to the status of a genius”- Napoleon Hill

According to Napoleon, the term ‘genius’ can be characterized simply by ones ability to “increase the vibrations of thought to the point where one can freely communicate with sources of knowledge not available through the ordinary rate of vibration of thought”.

1. Set Your Focus

We all require some type of external stimuli, whether this is just a memory or visualization in your head, we all need something to focus on. Instead of your usual fantasy, set your intention on something more creative and incorporate the law of attraction into your practice.

For example, you’d love that promotion at work, or you liked how you created with another person or several people and everything just seemed to flow. Anything, get creative! Set your goal of what you want to achieve… and “birth it into creation” so to speak. Continue reading →

“The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.”- Eckhart Tolle

12. Regrets

Whether it’s a missed opportunity, a bad relationship, a choice we should have made or simply something that made us feel dumb, dwelling in regret consumes a large amount of our time and energy. It has been thought, that the reason we regret so many things is because we have an idealized version of ourselves that we wish to live up to at all times.

To put it into perspective, we all think that we are 100% good people and when we do things that don’t reflect the most positive aspects of ourselves, we deem that we’ve fallen short in some way. But, when we can let go of these ideals and embrace the gravity and reality of life, we then free ourselves from the illusion of “perfection”.

So embrace your dark side, it is where your creativity flows from, accept yourself both “good and evil” and find balance between the two.

11.Blaming other people for your problems

Each person in your life is a teacher. Each experience in your life is a lesson. Living is like looking into a mirror– every teacher is you. Every event and ever relationship reflects yourself. Although we do not consciously perceive this, at some level we all know that life shows us what we need to learn.

Learn the lesson and move on. If you didn’t learn the lesson the first time, it comes back around as a new experience a new person and a new circumstance. It comes right back and lands in your lap again, and says, “here… deal with it”- Excerpt from Ether Into the Nemesis Continue reading →

Imagine for a moment, that you could choose anyone in your life, for a specific task. Someone whom you would agree while you were here in this incarnation…. to completely destroy you.

Who would it be?

Choose one or a few whom you would allow the power in your life to serve you the greatest lesson you will ever learn. Choose who you would pick to serve you up harshest blow to your heart. To deliver you into utter humiliation and the complete destruction of everything you hold near and dear to you.

Who would you choose?

The good news is, if you already know… then you’ve already found your tribe. If you haven’t a clue who you would choose and are wondering why I would pose such a preposterous question– be on the look out, your soul group is out there!!

Soul groups incarnate together with a specific task, a mission to uphold and when we connect with each of them, we collect a piece of the puzzle.

Soul groups incarnate with the purpose of helping each other wake up, to break through the veil and release the illusion of separateness and each soul group works together to achieve this.

It is up to each member to uphold their duty to serve each other. So when you find a member of your soul group… just know that your life is about to go through some radical changes, and major transformations that serve your higher good.

Here are the strongest signs that you should pay attention to:

10. They strengthen your intuition. 

When you spend time with someone from your soul group, your heart chakra begins to activate due to the harmonious subtle energy exchange. No matter the words spoken, you will feel what they are thinking from the heart. Words become obsolete, as if you don’t even need to speak as most communication is on the energetic intuitive level.

9. Immediate Connection

A member of your soul group will resonate with you immediately, you will feel comfortable and secure and will recognize their energy signature. Continue reading →
