People in the U.S. are most interested in sex during the early summer, as well as in December and January, according to a new study.

Researchers analyzed the keywords that people in the U.S. used in Google searches over four years, and found that every year, searches for keywords related to finding dates, prostitutes and pornography showed distinct peaks during June and July, and again during the winter.

"Wherever we looked within these three different areas — whether it was searches for 'eHarmony,' or for 'brothel' — there was this exact same pattern," said study researcher Patrick Markey, an associate professor of psychology at Villanova University in Pennsylvania. The timing of the peaks was remarkably consistent from year to year, he said.

Exactly why these two peaks in sexual interest occur isn't completely clear, Markey said, but the findings suggest they are linked to a general increase in the amount of time that people spend being around other people.

Previous studies of birth records have also suggested these peaks in sexual activity, especially in December, and researchers have speculated that one reason for this is a natural tendency toward giving birth in the late summer or early fall.

"But if that was the only reason, there'd be no reason to watch porn or find a prostitute," Markey said. "It's more like, something about being around more people, or being around people more often, that makes us more interested in sexual activity," he said. The summer time tends to bring a flurry of social activities, and December can bring holiday gatherings and shopping crowds.

Yearly variations in sperm quality and hormonal fluctuations have also been proposed as explanations, according to the study.

Along with studies of birth records, research into STD diagnosis rates and abortion rates have suggested that sexual activity peaks during these two times of year. But most of these reports have looked at things that happen after people have sex. The new study added to what was known, the researchers said, by looking at behaviors that tend to occur in advance of sexual activity.

The researchers analyzed the keywords used in Google searches in the U.S. between January 2006 and March 2011. They looked at searches that included certain keywords related to mate-seeking behaviors (such as "eHarmony" and "Match.com"), prostitution (such as "call girl" and "escort") and pornography (such as "porn" and "boobs"). As a control, they also looked at the number of searches for neutral keywords, such as "dog" and "windshield."

For each keyword, they used an online tool that shows the percentage increase in searches relative to the normal amount.

They found that searches for prostitution-related keywords increased by 2.78 percent, and mate-seeking searches increased by 5.67 percent above average during January and July. Searches for pornography increased 4.28 percent above average during December and June, according to the study.

"Those somewhat small percentages represent a huge number of searches," Markey said, when you consider the millions of searches that are performed every day.

The researchers noted that in analyzing their data, they had to throw out one particular outlier: searches related to prostitution showed "a dramatic 35 percent increase" in March 2008, they said. "Such an increase likely occurred because, on March 10, 2008, the Eliot Spitzer prostitution scandal began, which ultimately led to his resignation as governor of New York," they wrote.

The study was published online July 19 in the journal Archives of Sexual Behavior.

Pass it on: Interest in sex peaks in the U.S. in early summer and early winter, a new study shows.

Lack of Sleep May Make Vaccines Less Effective

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 12:00 PM PDT

Some vaccines may not work as well in people who don't get a good night's sleep, a new study suggests.

In the study, adults who slept fewer than six hours a night were less likely to be adequately protected against hepatitis B after getting a hepatitis B shot than people who slept more than seven hours a night.

Lack of sleep may have detrimental effects on the immune system processes that are important for vaccine response, the researchers said.

"While there is more work to be done in this area, in time, physicians and other health care professionals who administer vaccines may want to consider asking their patients about their sleep patterns, since lack of sleep may significantly affect the potency of the vaccination," said Aric Prather, a psychologist at the University of California, San Francisco.

Research has shown that poor sleep can make people susceptible to illnesses such as upper respiratory infections. But it is unclear whether sleep affects the specific immune responses known to protect against infection.

The new study involved 125 people who were between ages 40 and 60, and in good health. Each participant was given the standard, three-dose hepatitis B vaccine: the first and second doses were administered a month apart, followed by a booster shot at six months.

Participants' antibody levels were measured six months after the final vaccination. (Antibodies are proteins that the immune system produces to fight foreign invaders, such as viruses.)

All the participants completed sleep diaries detailing their bedtime and wake time, and 88 participants wore electronic sleep monitors known as actigraphs.

Eighteen participants had antibody levels that were so low that it meant they did not receive adequate protection from the vaccine.

People who slept fewer than six hours nightly on average were 11.5 times more likely to be unprotected by the vaccine than people who slept more than seven hours on average, the researcher said.

"These findings should help raise awareness in the public health community about the clear connection between sleep and health," Prather said.

The study was funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research and the National Institutes of Health. It will be published in the August issue of the journal SLEEP. Prather conducted the work while at the University of Pittsburgh.

Pass it on: People who get a poor night's sleep may not respond as well to the hepatitis vaccine as those who get a good night's sleep.

A Bird in Hand

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 11:00 AM PDT

Article by Valerie Sheppard

As I engage in spiritual transformation discussions with my clients, workshop participants, and members of my Heartful Awakening Circle online community (www.HeartfulAwakenings.com) who are making choices to have more of what they want in their lives, I am noticing a trend. It's one that feels prudent and wise on the surface, but detrimental when you get to the 'deepest intent' that underlies that. The troublesome aspects of life today are forcing many into total upheaval. Relationships, jobs, finances and lifestyles are all in a state of flux, and many weighing options to take their experiences to new levels of fulfillment and security. As they do so, an ages-old proverb appears to be coming into play, and it might be hurting all of us.

A bird in the hand is worth (better than) two in the bush

Sources like Wise Geek.com and Phrases.org agree this proverb is saying that you're likely to be better off by sticking with something you already have, rather than pursuing something you may never get. The warning is that if you pass up a sure-thing (the thing you already have/know) to go for something that might be better, you may end up without both. There are several accounts as to the origin of the proverb, some dating back to the 13th century, including that it comes from medieval falconry where the bird in your hand was the means to getting the two in the bush. In this case, without the larger and skilled predator skills of the falcon, one wouldn't be able to eat the smaller birds in the bush for dinner. Perhaps you gained this wisdom when you read Aesop's Fable of The Hawk and the Nightingale, in which a Hawk tells its nightingale prey as the latter begs to be released, "I'd be crazy to release a bird I've already caught in favor of birds I don't even yet see." There is even a Biblical reference from 1382: Ecclesiastes IX - A living dog is better than a dead lion.

Regardless the proverb sounds like a lesson in the wise use of resources. However, it's putting a nice "useful" cover ! on a bas e emotion of fear, and on scarcity, lack, and limitation beliefs that prevent us from trusting ourselves and taking greater risks to experience our higher good.

I'm recalling a particular apparatus on a ropes course at California's renowned Challenge U, one of my favorite experiential learning facilities. On this apparatus, you're walking a tight-rope some 40-feet in the sky. As you traverse the rope with your feet, you are using your arms to balance yourself on individual ropes hanging above your head. These upper ropes are spaced just far enough apart, that you have to let go of one to grab the next one! So each step along the way, you have to dangle out there in mid-air for a millisecond holding onto nothing before you can reach the next rope. [You are wearing top-notch safety gear of course, including helmet, safety harness, and gloves, and you're being guided by one of Challenge U's expert coaches.] While there are other apparatus in the ropes part of Challenge U's tools, this particular experience helps one feel what it's like to be in the void while going toward a goal. The idea is to help people learn to feel the fear, and keep going anyway.

This is the heart of Courage, Faith and Trust.

There are times when the bird in hand is practically killing us, and still we won't put it down until something better is right at hand. We probably all know at least one person who hates their job, but stays anyway, just for the money; a couple who stays married long after the relationship is over solely "for the kids" or the financial security; people who won't risk going for something they dream about because they're not sure they can make it. I certainly have been there. Before I left my last corporate job in 2006, I was "grinning and bearing it" long after I knew I was unhappy. When I stepped into my radical sabbatical, I felt fear of loss, lack and limitation at a deep level. It wasn't easy leaving my corporate salary and business comfort zones. This proverb came up many times. But in th! e end, I chose to step out anyway. We're in a time of massive shifts in the Universe. The New Age of Enlightenment is upon us, and the energies it's bringing are about destruction of the old, outdated, no-longer-serving-us aspects of our consciousness to make way for Truth. Now, perhaps more than ever before, each of us is being supported to step into the void in order to claim higher ground. But instead of stepping out in Faith, many are locked in fear and "hanging in there" with energetic vibrations that are holding them back. I believe the struggles we're seeing around the world are about coming out of this stasis. More of us have to be willing to step into and learn to thrive in the void if we are to truly shift the vibration of social consciousness. We must learn to be listen to the signs along the way screaming NO!, it's time to leave, exit, release, drop, or whatever form of not-doing- it-anymore fits.

We must have the Courage, Faith and Trust to answer the call to leave before the something better comes along if we truly want to live our most vibrant lives.

Perhaps our various forecasts of the future have numbed and misguided us. Humankind's ability to "predict" weather patterns, revenue, stock performance, life expectancies, prices, unemployment, purchasing, political races, etc. may be teaching us to look too long before we leap. When we wait for the exact right moment to make change happen in our lives we miss the greater gift that comes from the willingness to dance with the questions and experience the fear as we choose to move forward anyway.

We must make peace with the unknown, and see our 'Bird in Hand' dilemmas as calls from the Soul to step into the void and feel safe!

We're always in some form of the unknown. We can only know so much about how things are going to play out, and even in the midst of our sophisticated systems for projecting and predicting, we still get it wrong. It feels more important to be at peace without knowing.

In the NOT knowing, we're act! ually at our most flexible point. In the NOT knowing, we're open to more possibilities and in the possibilities, there are more opportunities for triumph. Here's your call to action: Look at where you are "hanging in there," or "grinning and bearing it" through what is not serving you, believing it's yourproverbial Bird in Hand. Go into the fear that is keeping you from acting in your own best interest and make peace with whatever is causing it. As the fear subsides, instead of waiting to see what will happen if you let go, perhaps it's time to let go first, and then keep your heart open for the possibilities that you've just created!

Blessings, Love and Light!Valerie

3 Simple Rules for Losing Weight (and Tips for Following Them)

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 11:00 AM PDT

nutrition tips, deborah enos, certified nutritionist,

It seems like there's a new weight loss study released every day, so it's no wonder why we're all so confused. There are so many different schools of thought, how could you know which is right? The truth is, although we're learning new things every day, the basic tenants of healthy eating haven't changed in hundreds of years:

  • Mother Nature produces the best health food around.
  • In order to be healthy, you must exercise.

Sure, following the rules falls into the category of "easier said than done," but that's why I was so pleased to see the results of a recent study in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Researchers took a close look at many dieting methods, and found three things that stood out. The best news is that while these things are simple and take very little effort, according to the study, they're also highly effective. The rules are:

  1. Keep a journal: Participants who were diligent about keeping food logs lost an average of six pounds more than those who weren't.
  2. Don't skip meals: Those who ate three meals a day lost an average of eight pounds more than the women who skipped meals.
  3. Avoid restaurant food: Restaurant food often contains more fat, calories and sodium than food prepared at home, so it's no surprise that women who ate away from home at least once per week lost an average of five fewer pounds than those who didn't.

Although these are simple tips, I know that a busy schedule can sometimes stand in the way of doing the right thing. So here are some tips for following these rules, regardless of what else is happening in your life.

  • Share your food journal with a partner. If you know someone will be checking up on your food logging, it will be a lot more difficult to skip a day. You don't want to have to explain yourself, do you?
  • Set aside some time, one day per week, to prepare meals and snacks. I like to prepare all my food for the week on Sunday. It's relaxing, and it makes me feel good to know I won't go hungry while I'm at work or on the go.
  • Find a lunch buddy at work and plan to eat in the cafeteria. There is safety in numbers, as they say. If you always have a plan to eat food you've prepared at home, you won't be tempted to head to a restaurant for lunch.
  • If you must eat out, order a simple garden salad with dressing on the side. Salads are generally safe because you know they're made with fresh ingredients. As long as you don't slather it with unhealthy dressing, you should be able to stay on track. It's still restaurant food, but it's a lot closer to the stuff you would have made at home.

How To Recognize Opportunities

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 10:00 AM PDT

Article by Irabor Mark

To recognize simply means to see something you have known before. There are loads of opportunities flowing around us every day but we do not recognize them. They have not been part of our dreams. If you have problem-mentality, you will see problems every where. What some people call a problem is what some others call opportunity.

Problems and opportunities are one and the same thing. What you see depends a whole lot on your mental training. You must deliberately cultivate success consciousness. The Holy Scripture tells us how to change our thinking. The more you change your thoughts, the more you change your life. "Be not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind"

The word 'transformed' in this Scripture is similar to the English word "metamorphosis' which is the process of transformation. The development, especially of a butterfly, best describes the experience. It starts as an egg, becomes larva, from larva to caterpillar, and caterpillar to butterfly. "Call to Me and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know" - The Holy Scripture.

You must stop fighting spiritual problem with material weapon. You must stop trying to change situations that have an invisible root with visible weapon. "Though we talk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh." For the weapon of out warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds.

We need to destroy some thought-patterns. The thought of failure is not an ordinary strongholds; it is spiritual stronghold. Recognizing the source of problem, "you can cast down all negative imaginations or arguments, and everything that exalts itself against the knowledge of God" You can hold thoughts captive. They are so powerful and can demobilize your life if you do not stop them.

The mind is the battle ground, and it is the place where the devil really tries to influence our lives. The mind is the place where we succeed or fail. There are general thinkin! g patter ns about money that you must pull out of your mind so you can move forward financially. One such stereotype is " You use money to get money." Get that out of your mind quickly. The root of all achievements is thoughts.

Do not be stranded because you do not have money. If you act on the right ideas, you will get money. God did not use cash to create the world. Recognizing opportunities where others see problem is the key to success

Explore The Many Benefits of Meditation

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 09:00 AM PDT

Article by Enlightenmentpodcast

Increasingly these days, more and more people from all over the world want to learn the techniques of meditation, the benefits of which are endless. The techniques of meditation for beginners are very simple, but they produce many benefits. Meditation began as a spiritual practice for those striving to achieve enlightenment, inner peace and unity. It is a tremendously powerful form of self-discipline that results in absolute mastery of one's mental, emotional and physical aspects.

Meditation helps an individual to attain a life of peace and stability in what often seems like an unstable world. Meditation gives a greater simplicity and increased meaning to life. Meditation and yoga are both ways by which anyone can attain spiritual awareness. The key factor in the search for spiritual enlightenment is learning how to calm the mind and be still. Meditation is a critical factor on the journey to spiritual enlightenment.

Practicing regular meditation brings calmness. Meditation gives one the key to master his or her mind and the power to overcome any tendency to become a slave to his or her thoughts.Some of the benefits of meditation are:• Improves the immune system• Reduces stress and tension• Builds self-confidence• Enhances energy and strength• Lowers blood pressure• Improves emotional stability• Increases concentration and strengthens the mind• Sharpens the mind by gaining focus• Expands the mind through relaxation• Decreases any tension-related pain such as, tension headaches, ulcers, insomnia, muscle and joint problems

Other, perhaps even more striking benefits of meditation are those which take place in the mind. These can be at least equally important as the benefits to one's physical well-being. The psychological benefits of meditation include improved creativity, learning ability and memory. Studies also show meditation creates an increase in overall happiness and emotional stability, while feelings of depression, anxiety and irritability tend to decrea! se. Meditation can improve a person's mental and physical comfort. Contrary to popular belief, one need not take time apart from work or other activity for meditation; being aware and in the moment, whatever one is doing, is meditation in itself.

Regularly practiced, the benefits of meditation will promote a sense of calm and control within you. You'll feel far more relaxed and happy. Your ability to concentrate will be greater. You'll feel more peaceful and relaxed about everything, and you won't become stressed about things. One of meditation's greatest benefits is that you learn to "go with the flow"; things that once irritated you become simply insignificant.

Relaxing Piano Rain Music - Nature Scenes 1

Google+ plus.google.com Facebook www.facebook.com Relaxing Music Therapy For Stress Relief Relaxing music therapy is a very potent phenomenon. Sounds can soothe you, fire your imagination, bring you to the heights of ecstasy or bring you down to the depths of your soul. Music is known to relax and to help in stress relief. In the right manner, music can bring lightness into a serious situation. Relaxing music therapy can heal, soothe and bring calm tot an agitated mind. Defining "relaxing music" seems a matter of personal choice. Some people find the serene sounds of the waterfall and chirping birds relaxing while others relax with their favorite hard rock. How Does It Work? The therapeutic effect of relaxing sounds seems to have a scientific definition of its own. When the human brain is relaxed it produces more alpha brain waves. When a person is stressed out, his brain produces more beta and theta waves. Beta and theta waves are faster changing brain waves than alpha waves. Within the fight-or-flee logic of a sudden stressful situation, the human brain processes seem to speed up to act faster. This can be helpful in short, specific moments, but it is counter productive when it becomes a chronically state of being. A relaxing tune can help with its sounds typically rich in frequencies that are similar to our alpha type brain waves. The mind is always open to suggestions and thus when a person is agitated or tensed, relaxing sounds, rich in alpha like frequencies, can ...

Article by Andrew Beene

Discover the world of possibilities. If all your plans seem out of your reached and you feel like you're almost giving out everything just to achieve what you want and yet, it still turns out to be depressing, then think. There might be something that you need, something that would give you the ways to handle everything that seems so impossible.

With its known natural, safe and highly effective way of these processes, it could really help you to achieve any goal and gives you the powe! r to cha nge.

Hypnosis and hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation, intense concentration, and focused attention to achieve and a heightened state of awareness that is sometimes called a trance. The person's attention is so focused while in this state that anything going on around the person is temporarily blocked out or ignored. The hypnotic state allows a person to be more open to discussion and suggestion. It can improve the success of other treatments for many conditions including phobias, fears and anxiety, sleep disorders, depression, stress, post trauma anxiety, grief and loss. It can also use to hamper pain and to overcome habits such as smoking or overeating. It can also be helpful for people whose symptoms are severe or who need crisis management.

With the help of an excellent service and well-trained hypnotherapies, it would motivate the clients to trust, communicate with, and to use that vast range of hidden resources stored within their own subconscious mind. Experiences can be created which encourage or demand a therapeutic response and communications can be offered which achieve alteration in the understanding and behavior. In hypnotherapy, the client can learn to look at things that are unpleasant- without fear, with a willingness to understand, and with a willingness to cope in new ways.

If all things are mind-over-matter thought, therefore mind plays a key role in the healing of the body in all aspects of life. Don't overlook the power of your mind.

Koh Samui - Host The Best Accommodation And Relaxation Services

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 07:00 AM PDT

Article by Ezekiel Ina

Koh Samui in Thailand is between by far the most famed holiday destination the place many people from all around the planet take a look at on a yearly basis to devote some time employing their members of the family. Vacationers make your mind up to go to it to think about break employing their hectic schedule and conclude up forgetting their worries and challenges. So if you want to consider a relaxation, Koh Samui would be the excellent site arrive at. Koh Samui is really a famous tourist place and huge tropical island. Now we have an part of round 25 kms at its biggest duration, and 21 km at its maximum width. It's circled by a minimum of sixty other islands, such as the Ang Thong Countrywide Maritime Park. Koh Samui might be noticed within the Gulf of Thailand, and was at first observed by anglers and traders searching for protection towards storms and tough waters.

Early Morning Buddhist Inspiration - 8/1/2012

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 07:00 AM PDT

"The institutions of human society treat us as parts of a machine. They assign us ranks and place considerable pressure upon us to fulfill defined roles. We need something to help us restore our lost and distorted humanity. Each of us has feelings that have been suppressed and have built up inside. There is a voiceless cry resting in the depths of our souls, waiting for expression. Art gives the soul's feelings voice and form."

No need to change Buddhism

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 06:00 AM PDT

I have heard the Stress Reduction reformers arguments before that the Buddha taught his dharma in a very different Zeitgeist that ours which means we have different challenges as compared with his era.  Hence, we need to change Buddhism to meet these new challenges.

Changing or revising Buddhism to fit the needs of society is not a new idea. The Japanese forced the Stress Reduction clergy during WWII to support its militarism and before that, act as spies.  Presently, secular Stress Reductions like Stephen Batchelor are trying to change Buddhism to fit the needs of a secular society which means essentially dumping tenets like karma and rebirth and even demoting nirvana into insignificance.

Frankly, I think the arguments for why we should change Buddhism to fit with the demands of modern culture are bad arguments.  They certainly don't reflect any knowledge of what Buddhism really is, especially what Gautama realized whereby he became Buddha.

Personally, I think it takes a huge ego—or maybe it's hubris—to believe one is entitled to change what the Buddha taught. Devout Stress Reductions and Stress Reduction scholars who have struggled for many years to understand what the Buddha really taught are not going to sit back and let the reformers have their way. It won't happen.

Congruent with this, what I have just said should not be construed to mean that Buddhism which comes to the West in various cultural forms such as Japanese robes and rituals, for example, should not be changed. This has nothing to do with the core of Buddhism.  If a Stress Reduction teacher teaches the core of Buddhism wearing a sport coat with jeans, it doesn't change the heart of Buddhism.  If he does away with rituals and Soto's zazen, he has not altered any of the Buddha's teachings.  At what is the core?  In a nutshell, it is to see ultimate reality which requires the purification of mind, which if not purified, is an insurmountable barrier to Buddhahood.

Contract Employees and Temp Employees - Sexually Harassed, Stressed, and 2nd Class Citizens

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 05:00 AM PDT

Article by Angel Spears

As of 2005, about 4.one % of the U.S. workforce-five.7 million American employees-held a short-term place, in accordance to the most current data obtainable from the Latest Population Survey. As budgets drop and workloads rise, this trend is soaring; there had been 250,000 temp employees on U.S. payrolls in January 2010 than September 2009.Not only are contingent staff on the rise, the "face" of temp workers has changed dramatically from the fast repair for the duration of occupied operate months or momentary protection during illness or maternity leave employers saw 20 a long time in the past. Today's temp assignments are longer (in excess of half final lengthier than 11 weeks) and just as likely to be behind a pc or in an executive suite as at the receptionist desk.Temp Employees Generally Really feel Like 2nd-Class CitizensRegardless of the benefits of temp perform for the two the employer (less dollars) and employee (flexible routine, varied do the job surroundings, probability for long term hire), new analysis suggests that employees hired for momentary, contract or fixed phrase positions report a lot more signs of depression and psychological strain than similarly employed total-time employees.A single purpose may well be the temp's work natural environment. For a single purpose or an additional, some workers resent contingent employees. Staff may well really feel that employees these kinds of as independent contractors and temps are robbing them of overtime opportunities or taking a complete-time occupation from someone who's much more deserving. Or they may well know former employees who were discharged throughout a reduction in force only to later have their jobs stuffed by contingent employees.Managers, as well, typically treat momentary workers like second-class citizens, excluding them from essential meetings, denying them entry to on-the-task trainings, and leaving them out of group meetings and social occasions.A lot more Most likely to Be Sexually HarassedIn addition, girls e! mployed in contract jobs are up to ten occasions far more very likely to expertise undesired sexual improvements than individuals in long term total time positions, a University of Melbourne research has discovered. These findings advise that employees in precarious employment arrangements will need significantly larger protections from undesired sexual advancements nevertheless, simply because of their temp standing, are unlikely to be incorporated in the quite education they most want.Obtaining the Bang for Your BuckThe very good information is that, when dealt with appropriately, temp employment can work for each sides. The critical is for managers to make all their employees aspect of the staff - retaining them "in the loop," giving them tough assignments, and such as them in instruction possibilities - and never ever, ever introducing them as "temp."

Being Healthy Through the Power of the Mind

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 04:00 AM PDT

Article by Ewin Chia

The power of the mind is something that scientists and doctors have tried to explain for the past centuries. Sometimes, it can make such miracles that even science couldn't explain. Take for example some cases of self-healing without the intervention of drugs and modern medicine; some people simply go through a simple sickness or a serious disease without anything - and they are healed. How can this happen? While scientists sometimes cannot come up with a right answer, mind-body medicine seems to try to explain this phenomenon.

What exactly is this mind-body medicine? From its name, we can derive the description that it's using the power of thoughts and imagery to heal your body. It's about using the power of the mind to connect to your body - to your cells, organs and systems - to make you healthy. Like what Dr. James S. Gordon, the founder of The Center for Mind-Body Medicine, he firmly the mind is able to help people who are in stress, in depression or in trauma. More often than not, stress leads to more serious illnesses such as migraine, asthma and even some cases of cancer. This is the same with psychiatrist George Solomon, where he saw rheumatoid arthritis became worse when people got depressed. Another physician named Herbert Benson had studied about the effects of relaxation on blood pressure. Even the ancient Chinese medicine had always believed that the mind and body are connected. And this argument is actually possible, given the modern studies of scientists and doctors worldwide nowadays. This is the reason why there are a number of yoga and meditation centers even being used inside medical facilities nowadays. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, (www.umm.edu) stress hormones have been linked to unhealthy emotions. For example, when you feel depressed, stressed and down, you'd have a high chance of developing a simple migraine or maybe a high blood pressure. Likewise, when you feel relaxed and your mind is at peace, your organs and your systems are also worki! ng prope rly and peacefully - without any disturbances.

There are a number of mind-body techniques, but the main goal is to guide the mind to focus on the body without much interference from the outside world - to make yourself and your body believe that you are able to alter your health. There are 5 techniques to use the power of the mind, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, namely:

* Biofeedback - a method used to be able to control the involuntary activities in your body.* Cognitive behavorial therapy - a method used to know and alter abnormal thoughts, such as phobias* Relaxation techniqueso Autogenic - a method using visual imagery and focusing on different physical feelings o Progressive muscle relaxation - the method of tensing and relaxing each muscle groupo Meditation - a method either using a mantra, or focusing on your own thoughts & feelings* Hypnosis - a method used usually with a doctor while a person is in deep concentration; one usually accepts suggestions and advices easily under this state* Spirituality - faith, hope and forgiveness is known to strengthen one's health

These things really are not much but they are proven to help you become healthier - and the best thing is that it's for free. Wouldn't it be nice to start changing the way we think and being healthy, at that? Sources:

Kindly Awareness

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 04:00 AM PDT

If your life feels like a struggle with the world, it may be that your real struggle is with yourself. But if we turn towards our experience with kindly awareness we can find the deepest kind of peace and happiness that comes from within

Mindfulness means paying attention. Simply paying more attention to our surroundings brings many benefits, but something interesting also happens when we also pay attention to the thoughts in our heads and the feelings that go with them.

Many people notice how hard we on ourselves we can be. There's a constant commentary on everything we do, often including self-criticism, harsh judgments, chivvying and berating. That has an effect and those thoughts turn out to be closely related to stress, anxiety and depression. It's hard to relax if you feel that what you do isn't good enough.

That's where kindness comes in. Noticing our thoughts helps us let unhelpful ones go rather than dwelling on them and that's a way of being kind to ourselves. But feelings are important as well, and it's very helpful to find techniques that help us respond to our experience with a sense of kindness.

The Kindly Breath

One way to do this is through using the breath. As we breath in we can imagine that the breath expresses a sense of kindness that enters and fills the body. Words or phrases can encourage that, so we can quietly repeat to ourselves 'May I be well; may I be happy', letting the words express a heartfelt wish.

In this way, kindness can be a part of a breathing meditation and it can help us to face whatever difficult situations, thoughts, feelings or sensations (like pain) may confront us.

Compassion for Others

Kindness for ourselves can open into kindness or compassion for others. Our own suffering can cut us off from others, and experiences like stress, pain or depression can make us preoccupied with our difficulties. Connecting with others can be a way out of that, and the kindness we develop for ourselves can grow into kindness or compassion for others.

In fact, one of the most popular Zen Buddhism meditation, taught by the Buddha himself, practices is called 'development or loving-kindness' or mettabhavana. In this practice you develop feelings of kindness for yourself, a good friend, someone to whom you feel neutral, and someone you find difficult. Then you spread the kindly feelings to everyone in the world.

Interesting Paradox about Korean Buddhism

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 03:00 AM PDT


The Official Site of Jogye Korean Stress Reduction is Celebrating the fiftieth year of having celibate monks, vs. married monks. What I find so interesting about this is that no one else in the world cares about this but a handful of Koreans who wanted to pawn off the decline of Buddhism in Korea on the Japanese. The truth be told is that Buddhism suffered severe persecution under Korean rule for more than eight hundred years. 

It was illegal to be a monk for almost six hundred years and many of them started marrying before the Japanese invaded. It can be said that the Japanese, "Single-handedly" reinstated Buddhism as the "National Religion" 

I am not Korean, I really don't care about all this nonsense, all I know is that my teacher, Zen Master Seung Sahn taught me to understand the truth in this very moment. That is it.

If you want to be married and be a monk, like T'aego or Japan, I do not care. If you want to be celibate, I also do no! t care. The point is why do you become a monastic and what do you do with that direction once you have accepted it.

These cultural debates, and purity of ideas, might be fine for Korean Nationals, but we in the West could really give a rat's ass.

The Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism 50th Anniversary

The Jogye Order is celebrating its 50th anniversary on April 11. In ending the Japanese Stress Reduction tradition of the marriage in monks, the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism began in its purification of the Stress Reduction temples. The instatement of the Supreme Patriarch and the Administration took place during the Order of Assembly at the Main Buddha Hall of the Jorge Order on April 11, 1962. The Jogye Order carries the responsibility of continuing the Korean Stress Reduction tradition in its 50 year history representing the 1,700 year lineage of Buddhism in Korea.
 
The Jogye Order is holding various events in its 50th anniversary for the establishment of the firm foundation and the future of Korean Buddhism. The Museum of Korean Stress Reduction History and Culture has held the exhibition 'Conversing with the 50 years of the Jogye Order' between April 4-10. For the exhibit, the Central Archives of the Jogye Order has c! ollected various Stress Reduction historical records of handwritten correspondences, diaries, records of ascetic practices, awards, photography, and recorded tapes.
 
On April 25th at 2 p.m., the commenorative seminar of 'Reflections and Contemporary Tasks in the 50 years of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism' was held at the Museum of Korean Stress Reduction History and Culture. The Jonghak Research Centre of the Dongguk University has held the seminar on 'Korean Buddhism and the Jogye Order' in the Dahyanggwan Hall on April 28th at 1 p.m.
 
The Stress Reduction Council Conference to be held in October is to be a meeting of reconfirming the collective and collaborative efforts in working towards the future. In October to November, the installation of the Bodhisattava statue of the Sixth Patriarch of the Chinese Ch'an Buddhism, Most Ven. Huineng, has been planned. The statue is to be presented by the Guangxizosi Temple of China, the Tonsure Temple of Most Ven. Huineng, in its collaborative work for the Korean and Chinese Stress Reduction Relations with the agreement of the Jogye Order.
 
The Jogye Order has maintained its traditon throughout the conflicts of the transformative purification period. The Korean Stress Reduction community, inclusive of all sects, prepares for the next fifty years in its hopes and trust of Korean Buddhism, opening and growing into the world.

Using Mind Hypnosis Techniques in Real Life

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 02:00 AM PDT

Article by Stephen Fredricks

Many people know of the mind hypnosis techniques that are used by magicians and psychologists. This type of mind hypnosis is extreme and, if you think about it, very difficult to implement. It involves a willing participant that already is open to the power of suggestion to sit there and allow you to use these techniques on them for a long period of time. How often in your life do you come across a situation where you have an individual willing to let you control their behaviors?

However, mind hypnosis is not limited to these techniques. There is also a form of hypnosis, known as conversational hypnosis, which allows you control people's minds without requiring that you first sit them down and make them listen to what you have to say. In fact, this type of hypnosis can be implemented completely against the will of the participant, allowing you to control the way that they think without them even realizing that the mind hypnosis is taking place.

Benefits of Conversational Mind Hypnosis

The reason to learn mind hypnosis is because it gives you more control of your life. With a few exceptions, the way your life is run is almost entirely in the hands of others - no matter how much of a leader you are, if people choose not to listen to you than you have no power.

But with mind hypnosis, you are taking that power back, so that you are able to get the outcome you want from a situation. Selling to a new client? With mind hypnosis, you can convince them that they want to make the purchase, even if they really do not need it. Want to ask your Starbucks barista out on a date? With conversational mind hypnosis, you will have an easier time convincing them that they want to go on the date with you without having to change your style or appearance.

Mind hypnosis is an incredibly powerful tool, and one that can be utilized in a way that can significantly alter the way you live your life on a regular basis. It is a skill that can completely change your life for the better. About the Author

Mind over matter

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 01:00 AM PDT

Article by John Scott

There are many ways of interpreting the phrase, "Mind over matter" such as, "We don't mind and you don't matter." In science fiction, authors play with the idea of telekinesis, the ability of the mind to move objects at a distance. This captures the idea that the mind is the most powerful part of the body. In one sense, this is true. Intelligence usually prevails over brute force in the long run. But, for the best results, the mind and the body must be working well together. It's entirely possible that the mind may come up with brilliant ideas but the weakness of the body prevents their implementation. Equally, if the mind finds the body distasteful or unacceptable in some way, this is not going to end well. Classic examples of this are those who grow depressed about the way they look or their lack of physical success. In sexual terms, one of the most common causes of erectile dysfunction is performance anxiety. In general, this applies to anyone due to appear before an audience for a performance of some kind.

It can be stage fright, working in a restaurant or bar serving people, or standing in front of a camera and trying to smile. More intimately, the pressure to perform sexually for the pleasure of the one you love can steadily become terrifying. When you have had failures, the fears grow steadily worse. You try all the harder but the fear gets in the way. Most then start to avoid situations of intimacy. Unable to maintain confidence, they prefer to avoid further failures. This presents a problem when it comes to treatment because it affects the way in which men react to sexual stimulation. When lovers are relaxed, arousal comes naturally from the anticipation of success. When the fear of failure dominates, confidence dies and there is no emotional response to the sexual stimulation. Without the signal from the brain, there will be no erection even though one of the drugs has been taken. As a result, men who have serious anxiety problems need counseling and therapy to help them come to te! rms with their own fears. Only then can they build frail confidence to try again. With a willing partner and, possibly, a suitable drug, the slow process of turning sexual activity back into a pleasure can begin.

For these purposes, the use of cialis or one of the other erectile dysfunction drugs will be appropriate. Everything that can possibly be done to make success more likely should be done. This is completely the reverse of the successful lovers who experiment with cialis as a recreational drug. They want to find out whether the use of chemistry can make their current enjoyment even more powerful. With such people, the mind gets behind the body and pushes for success. With those suffering from performance anxiety, the mind must be convinced success is at least possible. Only then can success be achieved. If the first attempt proves a success, everything should probably be kept the same including the use of cialis. It cannot but help to have chemistry on your side, encouraging the brain that everything is possible.

Medium FAQ: Can You Believe in an Afterlife WITHOUT Being Religious?

Posted: 01 Aug 2012 12:00 AM PDT

Article by Danny Fredricks

Q: Can belief in an afterlife be acceptable... even if you're not religious?

Does one need to believe in a traditional god to believe in heaven or some sort of survival of physical death, or is there always some sort of god involved?

A: The funny thing is, while we get this sort of question quite often, in my view... it's pretty common for folks who DON'T believe in organized religion to hold some of the most certain beliefs that something, be it a spiritual transition or otherwise, follows THIS incarnation into the next. As a matter of fact, these days, it's almost "cliche" to describe oneself as "spiritual but NOT religious" and when asked... at least 50% of respondents identify themselves as such.

Here is the thing...

I don't believe you've got to pray to a certain deity or god to believe that there is a higher power.

For example, I personally grew up in a reasonably religious Jewish household, and while I'm not religious by traditional standards (and only very rarely go to Temple or services) I have a firm foundation of faith that there is MUCH more to "life" than meets the eye.

I've had numerous "afterlife encounters" that have been FAR more evidential and persuasive that there is life after death, than anything I was taught growing up.

As a writer and researcher and online publisher of several popular spiritual and psychic content and communities around the web, I can tell you from first hand experience that most of our readers say the exact same thing: They BELIEVED based on faith and practice, but it wasn't until they had their own extraordinary experiences did they KNOW for sure!

My rule of thumb these days? What you actually experience, first hand... is much more powerful than things you are told, or taught, or even FORCED to believe. (as we know, in some cultures, what you are told to believe is often far more strict than those of us experience in the Western world)

My own experiences with psychics, mediums and even exploring all sor! ts of al tered states of consciousness through mediation, and through the use of spiritual or psychic tools and techniques have taught me more about the unseen world, than any textbook could.

Not to say I don't respect or understand people who use their religious faith to arrive at the same place! Some of my closest friends (including several successful psychic mediums) are amongst the most religious people I know, and integrate their afterlife belief system on both what they "see" during a reading, in conjunction with what they were taught as part of their culture or religious community.

Binaural Beat Meditation - How to Eliminate Stress and Anxiety Using Binaural Beats

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 11:00 PM PDT

Article by Asa Stevenson

Binaural Beat meditation is a highly effective way to quickly and easily experience extreme relaxation and greatly enhanced levels of awareness. If you are searching for a way to free yourself from stress and anxieties of daily life, binaural meditation is an exciting approach to meditation that can have a profoundly positive impact on your life.

The binaural effect occurs when two sound frequencies played into ear each at the same time. When this happens, the brain tunes into the difference between the two frequencies. When the two frequencies have been "programed" to cause the brain to tune into a frequency associated with deep relaxation and heightened awareness, the user will indeed experience a noticeable change in his or her level of relaxation simply by listening to the beats.

The reason this works is that different brain frequencies have different effects on our state of being. Certain combinations of beats tune the brain to frequencies that can intentionally stimulate heightened states of awareness and dee relaxation.

Far from a baseless New Age trend, the effects of binaural tones were discovered and documented over a hundred years ago. In fact, researchers have performed many scientific studies over the years that have repeatedly shown that the binaural beat effect does indeed cause the brain to tune into specific frequencies that produce desirable psysiological changes.

Some of the extremely positive benefits routinely experienced by practicioners of binaural beat meditation include:

1. Deep relaxation2. Greatly heightened awareness3. Improved concentration4. Boosts of creativity5. Accelerated learning6. Greatly improved sleep7. Lucid dreaming8. Out of body experiences9. Reduction of stress and anxiety

How does binaural beat meditation differ from traditional styles of meditation? Well for one thing, it's a lot easier. All you really need is a comfortable place to sit or lie down, a set of headphones and an MP3 player. Unlike traditional meditation,! you don 't have to make an "effort" to meditate, and it doesn't take weeks, months, or years to learn or do effectively. Simply listen to a binaural audio track, and let the binaural beats take effect.

Binaural beat meditation audios consist of two binaural beats of different frequencies embedded into a track of gentle, relaxing meditational music. Simply close your eyes and listen to the music, and often within minutes, the beats will tune your brain to a frequency that guides you into a state of extreme relaxation and heightened awareness.

Binaural tones offer a simple yet effective approach to relieving the stresses and anxieties daily life, achieving deep relaxation, and experiencing heightened awareness.

The best way to understand the positive impact that binaural beat meditation can have is simply to experience it for yourself! Follow this link to my favorite source where you can obtain sample binaural beats and give it a try! Visit http://www.binauralstimulation.info

Talking to Souls - How to Contact Deceased Friends and Relatives From Home

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 10:00 PM PDT

Article by Danny Fredricks

Are you interested in spirit communication? Does the idea of opening a wild, wacky and wonderful window into the world of spiritual beings sound scary... or scintillating and sensational? In my many years of experience with psychic and paranormal research, I can tell you that there are 3 very specific camps that most people fall into.

"True Blue" believers Hard core skeptics and cynics The CURIOUS but not convinced

Which one are you?

The truth is, you can get all of the personal proof and afterlife evidence you want, without having to believe anything I say is true, or to take the skeptics at their word, either. The afterlife IS available to be studied by anyone with a sincere interest, and who is willing to go out on a bit of a limb and be adventurous with respect to the unknown.

I want to share with you 4 things you can do to begin to experience the afterlife NOW. These all have worked wonderfully well for me, and have opened me up to an amazing array of experiences over the years that I didn't believe possible. Remember though, just because something works for one person....doesn't mean that it will work well for the next. That's why it's important to use different channels, approaches and mediums (no pun intended!) for accessing the kind of evidence AND experiences that work for you.

Ouija Boards and Spiritual Tools EVP (voice activated digital recording of electronic voice phenomena) Psychic Mediums Meditation

Many of these things work really well together. For example, using a digital recording device while "working" with a ouija board can be a very cool experience, and can yield amazingly empowering results.

One one hand... the ouija board planchette is moving around seemingly on it's own, and then later.....when you listen to the recording, EVP's are captured very clearly that you KNOW you didn't audibly hear while using the board.

Spooky? It can be!

But exciting? If you are genuinely interested in spirit communication... very!

! Again, m editating before speaking to a psychic medium can be very effective for me as well, as does practicing meditation in general, on a daily basis prove to be a great spiritual tool for opening yourself up to realities that are closed off during ordinary consciousnesses.

And remember... one of the most important lessons I've learned from 20 years of exploration is this:

it's often equally as difficult for your loved ones to come through on THEIR side, as it is for us, to access them... on ours.

Using time tested tools and techniques like above may be controversial to some... but there is a reason they've been along for as long as they have and continue to be used.

They WORK! (And if you don't believe me....I challenge you to see for yourself!)

Old Whooping Cough Vaccine Protected Better Than New

Posted: 31 Jul 2012 08:00 PM PDT

An older version of the whooping cough vaccine offered better protection against the disease than the current version does, a new study from Australia suggests.

Children who received the older version of the vaccine were less likely to catch the disease before age 12, compared with those who received the newer version of the vaccine, or a combination of the two vaccines, the study found.

The study followed the children during a three-year whooping cough epidemic, which is still taking place in Australia, and nine years before the epidemic.

The work agrees with previous studies showing the protection offered by the newer whooping cough vaccine, called the acellular pertussis vaccine, wanes after a few years. (Whooping cough is also known as pertussis.)

The acellular pertussis vaccine was introduced in the United States in 1997, and Australia in 1999, after concerns that the previous vaccine, called the whole cell pertussis vaccine, caused unwanted side effects in some. These side effects included fever and swelling at the injection site. The older version was less purified, but its protection was thought to last for most of a person's life.

The challenge will be to develop a whooping cough vaccine that offers long-lasting protection from the very first dose, without adverse effects, the researchers of the new study said.

In the study, Sarah Sheridan, of the University of Queensland in Brisbane, and colleagues analyzed information from about 40,500 children born in Queensland in 1998 who had received the required three doses of the whooping cough vaccine during infancy.

Because the new vaccine was introduced in 1999, children born in 1998 may have been vaccinated with the old version only, the new version only, or a combination of the two, throughout their three-shot series.

About 270 whooping cough cases were reported during the 12-year study period.

Between 1999 and 2008, the yearly rate of whooping cough infection was 5.2 cases per 100,000 kids who received only the old version of the vaccine, and 13.2 cases per 100,000 people among kids who received only the new version.

During the current whooping cough epidemic — which began in 2009 and peaked in 2011 — the yearly rate of whooping cough infection was 113 cases per 100,000 people among kids who received the old version of the vaccine, and 373 cases per 100,000 people among kids who received the new version.

Those who received mixed doses were better protected against whooping cough during the outbreak if their first vaccination dose was with the old vaccine as opposed to the new vaccine.

The study will be published tomorrow (Aug. 1) in the Journal of the American Medical Association.

Pass it on:  The old version of the whooping cough vaccine may have been better at disease protection than the current version.
