Please if you don’t mind sending me a message on my page so we can be friends. when i saw your profile and said to myself that knowing you would be great and that if I ever had the chance to chat or talk with you I would make sure you enjoyed every bit of our conversations, you don’t know me and i don’t know you either, how do we get to know each other? i guess it is by giving each other a fair chance to know ourselves better Waiting to hear from you soon.Thanks.

This song popped up this morning and it’s absolutely perfect, given the state of affairs they wish us to believe .
I’ve heard reference to a revolution coming 3 times , and I so hope it’s a matter of evolution and with no blood shed .
” They ” want us to war over things especially each other.
I truest believe we can and we will reveal our power to gain the changes we need in each and every life on this path of liberation of the soul . To love and be loved , to live in balance and harmony with the world and each other .
We are so close and we can handle what is pathetic , and distorted leaders and money mongers .
Too many Sundays have been darkened by the dreaded presence of Monday, looming in like a storm cloud of anxiety and fear. Sunday is your gift, your day to recharge, your freedom. Be protective of that time. Monday has its space enough, do not let it overstep its mark. Make your plans, prepare, then push Monday back into its box and let Sunday shine forth like the jewel it is. You deserve this day of soul rest. You work tirelessly my friends. Life is not a chore to be dealt with, it’s to be lived. You’re here to live. And Sunday is a day for doing exactly what your heart desires.

(This was the poem I gladly read out on radio 2 today)
Einstein spoke of the religion of the future that would be a combination of science and religion and that would be called Buddhism.
The debate does exist that Buddhism has been around longer than Christianity , but I see it as love and peace energy and both are equally power . It’s our belief , and faith and union within that practice .. I don’t practice with others though I have tried to get a leader to bring it to my rural town .
I incorporate, the love of a God of love , I accept my Native American heritage and spirit , as I do my Buddha nature ..I keep polishing my heart ❤️ and I am told I am worthy …despite harsh challenges I stay centered .
In the beginning , as I began to chant , I had a clearing and calmness in my brain that was like a light bulb and having asked for support and facts , I was rewarded with many gifts that really freed me up and true healing began .
In my awareness , with Dad digressing in health , I surrendered his impending death exit , and I prepared for this as I began having heartfelt conversations with him, deeply emotional, without tears , or holding on to him , I understood the gift in being centered and calm for him.. it wasn’t perfect , again there were challenges , and my tears were private . It was a beautiful experience where before I’d have been a shit show , LOL . Dad got the jest of this and did some surrendering himself .
While we believe in peace, harmony and love , we know the warriors has to arise occasionally and as long as I’ve been at this, “Soul exhaustion ” is a reality , that I’m recovering from with loving support .
Change for yourself and the world responds accordingly.
Cause and Effect.. Quantum Energy , helps us in mass and that has power . My awareness increased and trust in myself which allowed trust out there . Inner state of happiness despite what’s going on out there .
I am just coming to this podcaster , and after watching several, and listening to this one , impressed me …I enjoy the reality of these topics and understanding modern man/ woman, dynamics
Touch and Tenderness are so vital.. When our sons were small, was the only time, I got hugged , on a regular basic
The Importance of Being Held~~ The average length of a hug between two people is 3 seconds. But the researchers have discovered something fantastic. When a hug lasts 20 seconds, there is a therapeutic effect on the body and mind. The reason is that a sincere embrace produces a hormone called “oxytocin”, also known as the love hormone. This substance has many benefits in our physical and mental health, helps us, among other things, to relax, to feel safe and calm our fears and anxiety. This wonderful tranquilizer is offered free of charge every time we have a person in our arms, who cradled a child, who cherish a dog or a cat, that we are dancing with our partner, the closer we get to someone or simply hold the Shoulders of a friend.
A famous quote by psychotherapist Virginia Satir goes, “We need 4 hugs a day for survival. We need 8 hugs a day for maintenance. We need 12 hugs a day for growth.” Whether those exact numbers have been scientifically proven remains to be seen, but there is a great deal of scientific evidence related to the importance of hugs and physical contact. Here are some reasons why we should hug::
STIMULATES OXYTOCIN
Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter that acts on the limbic system, the brain’s emotional centre, promoting feelings of contentment, reducing anxiety and stress, and even making mammals monogamous. It is the hormone responsible for us all being here today. You see this little gem is released during childbirth, making our mothers forget about all of the excruciating pain they endured expelling us from their bodies and making them want to still love and spend time with us. New research from the University of California suggests that it has a similarly civilising effect on human males, making them more affectionate and better at forming relationships and social bonding. And it dramatically increased the libido and sexual performance of test subjects. When we hug someone, oxytocin is released into our bodies by our pituitary gland, lowering both our heart rates and our cortisol levels. Cortisol is the hormone responsible for stress, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
CULTIVATES PATIENCE
Connections are fostered when people take the time to appreciate and acknowledge one another. A hug is one of the easiest ways to show appreciation and acknowledgement of another person. The world is a busy, hustle-bustle place and we’re constantly rushing to the next task. By slowing down and taking a moment to offer sincere hugs throughout the day, we’re benefiting ourselves, others, and cultivating better patience within ourselves.
PREVENTS DISEASE
Affection also has a direct response on the reduction of stress which prevents many diseases. The Touch Research Institute at the University of Miami School of Medicine says it has carried out more than 100 studies into touch and found evidence of significant effects, including faster growth in premature babies, reduced pain, decreased autoimmune disease symptoms, lowered glucose levels in children with diabetes, and improved immune systems in people with cancer.
STIMULATES THYMUS GLAND
Hugs strengthen the immune system. The gentle pressure on the sternum and the emotional charge this creates activates the Solar Plexus Chakra. This stimulates the thymus gland, which regulates and balances the body’s production of white blood cells, which keep you healthy and disease free.
COMMUNICATION WITHOUT SAYING A WORD
Almost 70 percent of communication is nonverbal. The interpretation of body language can be based on a single gesture and hugging is an excellent method of expressing yourself nonverbally to another human being or animal. Not only can they feel the love and care in your embrace, but they can actually be receptive enough to pay it forward to others based on your initiative alone.
SELF-ESTEEM
Hugging boosts self-esteem, especially in children. The tactile sense is all-important in infants. A baby recognizes its parents initially by touch. From the time we’re born our family’s touch shows us that we’re loved and special. The associations of self-worth and tactile sensations from our early years are still imbedded in our nervous system as adults. The cuddles we received from our Mom and Dad while growing up remain imprinted at a cellular level, and hugs remind us at a somatic level of that. Hugs, therefore, connect us to our ability to self love.
STIMULATES DOPAMINE
Everything everyone does involves protecting and triggering dopamine flow. Low dopamine levels play a role in the neurodegenerative disease Parkinson’s as well as mood disorders such as depression. Dopamine is responsible for giving us that feel-good feeling, and it’s also responsible for motivation! Hugs stimulate brains to release dopamine, the pleasure hormone. Dopamine sensors are the areas that many stimulating drugs such as cocaine and methamphetamine target. The presence of a certain kinds of dopamine receptors are also associated with sensation-seeking.
STIMULATES SEROTONIN
Reaching out and hugging releases endorphins and serotonin into the blood vessels and the released endorphins and serotonin cause pleasure and negate pain and sadness and decrease the chances of getting heart problems, helps fight excess weight and prolongs life. Even the cuddling of pets has a soothing effect that reduces the stress levels. Hugging for an extended time lifts one’s serotonin levels, elevating mood and creating happiness.
PARASYMPATHETIC BALANCE
Hugs balance out the nervous system. The skin contains a network of tiny, egg-shaped pressure centres called Pacinian corpuscles that can sense touch and which are in contact with the brain through the vagus nerve. The galvanic skin response of someone receiving and giving a hug shows a change in skin conductance. The effect in moisture and electricity in the skin suggests a more balanced state in the nervous system – parasympathetic. Embrace, embrace with your heart.~~
