3 People Over 90 That Are In Better Shape Than You

Picture yourself at 90 years old. Where do you think you will be when that time comes? What shape do you think your body will be in? As some people say, ‘Age is only a number’. We’ve all heard that expression before.

Sometimes it can be very surprising to learn a person’s age because they don’t look or act the age you thought they were. Sometimes if someone is unwell or has long term addictions, they can seem older than they actually are. On occasions you may even meet people who are considerably older than you, yet can still look the same age as you or even younger. What do you think their secret is?

Well, it wasn’t hard to find a few amazing people who are in their 90’s (or even older) that are still in excellent health. Not only that, they’re probably in better health than most of the people reading this. Lets start with Tao Porchon-Lynch as the perfect example.

Tao Porchon-Lynch

Tao Porchon-Lynch is in the Guinness Book of World Records as the World’s Oldest Yoga Teacher.  At 97 years old (she will be 98 on August 13th) Tao is probably one of the most impressive older ladies you will ever meet.

Most of her life she was an actress and a model. She is also a celebrated ballroom dancer and has been a yoga teacher for the past 56 years. Although she has had 3 hip replacement surgeries and a metal rod inserted in her leg, she still manages to kick butt at yoga on a daily basis, and is able to keep up with students several decades younger than her. When asked about her secrets to longevity, she had three things to say: Continue reading

5 Surefire Ways To Increase Your Energetic Vibrational Frequency

 “If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”

-Nikola Tesla

I love this quote from Tesla as it describes the entire universe in one sentence. More importantly, it describes you and me in our natural form which is energy!

As you go through your daily life, each moment, action, interaction, and reaction impacts your overall energy level and state of wellbeing.

shutterstock_155349410Every choice you make will either help you raise or lower your vibration. And because we are vibrational beings, every day we are in a constant state of change as energy never stays the same.

When we are blessed with good days, then our vibrational energy is leaning more towards the positive side, but what about the days where nothing seems to be heading in the right direction.

Don’t you worry!

From my own research and studying the subject of vibration, I have learned that lower vibrational frequencies are most likely associated with negative emotions, fear, stagnation, lethargy, health challenges, and even depression.

So to experience increased health, happiness, and wellness, I am going to share with you not one but 5 ways to increase your vibration in 5 minutes or less!

 

1. Focus on the present moment

Living in the present moment is the source of your power and energy!shutterstock_422129731

If you are constantly living in a state of anxiousness about the future or re-living the past, then you’re wasting the energy available to you at the present moment.

So practice forgiveness towards yourself and other, and let go of the past and cut your ties from these lower vibrational energies. Continue reading

Are We Living At The Dawn of Augmented Intelligence?

How would your life be affected if you could chose to increase your intelligence by a few notches? What changes would it bring? It very much depends on what you define as intelligence to start with.
In popular culture we mostly associate intelligence with sharp wits or as someone who has scored high in the Mensa IQ test, the latter being a 20th century attempt to conventionally measure intelligence. Of course intelligence is both more basic and broader than that.

 

Development, Age and Intelligence

In the cognitive sciences and developmental Psychology, intelligence is pretty much tied to cognitive development of a human as he or she ages. Learning is seen as depending upon attention, memory and conceptualizing the world around us. How well or how poorly we perform these three tasks is reflected in our learning abilities and partially our intelligence.

In Neuroscience, for instance, intelligence and learning are understood in terms of how the billions of neural connections in our brain interact, cluster and regenerate. For some time it has been believed or theorized that neurons die as we age, meaning that our mental faculties are disparaged with age.shutterstock_326869622

This assumption has been corrected and revised and now we know that neuron cells do not die or decrease in number as we age. What happens is that the synapses (connections between individual cells) and the neurotransmitters, the chemicals used to send messages along the neural ‘learning pathways’, change as we get older.

16 Fascating Extreme Close Ups Of The Human Eye

Why do we say eyes are the windows to the soul? Well, because they are! We can read people, see what their thinking and feeling just through their eye movements.

Eyes look like mini universes, exploding from our pupils. These extremely close images remind us just how much detail is actually in this world. These surreal pictures are beautiful and almost haunting in their intense detail.

What do these pictures make you think of?

Studies Show Not Being Able To See The Milky Way Is Drastically Affecting Our Health

Being able to see the milky way is not as common worldwide as it used to be. Half way through the 20th century the majestic view of the stars started to fade away in more and more places around the world. Today, about 60 percent of Europe and 80 percent of North America can’t see the milky way anymore. The reason for this is called light pollution.

With water and air pollution, the elements that are being polluted are, well, air and water.  With light pollution it is the opposite, since light is the polluter itself. The darkness at night is being reduced by over-illumination.

Light pollution is caused by excessive and misdirected artificial lights that shine upwards instead of downwards, which is where it’s meant to shine.

This results are called sky glow, the excess of electric light scatter and reflect in the atmosphere during the night. In urban areas, the highest levels of light pollution are now being measured.

According to Falchi, an Italian scientist who leads a group that investigates worldwide light pollution, Singapore is the most light-polluted country. The entire population lives under a sky so bright that their eyes cannot fully dark-adapt to night vision.

The consequences of light pollution reach further than the interference with astronomical observations. It interferes with our circadian rhythm and is being seen as a cause for multiple health issues. Light pollution also has a major effect on the ecosystem, especially the nocturnal life.

When living in an over-illuminated area, our circadian rhythm, which includes our sleep cycle, hunger pattern, activity levels, hormone production and some other physiological processes, are being disrupted. Continue reading

The History of Ouija Boards: 3 of The Most Bizarre Stories

The Ghosts of Flight 401

John G. Fuller was a American author who passed away in 1990. He wrote a few books and would write in news paper articles, mostly focusing on the topic of E.T’s and supernatural events. In 1972, an Eastern Air Lines Flight 401 crashed into the Florida shutterstock_825732everglades.

It was known as one of America’s worst aircraft disaster.  97 of 163 passengers didn’t make it off the plane, though many did survive as well.

This story is interesting because of the strange incidences that happened after. Employees of the airline started seeing ghostly figures of the pilot and co-pilot of the plane.

They would also see some of the 10 deceased flight attendants on another flight. The eerie theory is that parts of the plane from flight 401 were salvaged and reused to make another plane called the Lockheed L-1011.  John G. Fuller had used ouija boards to contact different spirits of people who were on that plane to create his book The Ghosts of Flight 401. If you’re interested, give it a read and see what you think.

In 1912 a woman named Pearl Curran and her friend Emily Grant Hutchings used an ouija board, only to have a relative of Mrs. Hutchings to come through. She bought her own ouija board and brought it to Mrs. Currans house with the intention of continuing the communication. Continue reading
