The Origin of The Human Conscience and Your Destiny

God produces your dreams in order to transform you into a real human being. You are basically a demon because the biggest part of your brain contains craziness, but you ignore this fact.


God gave you a human conscience, hiding your wild conscience from your conscience's eyes, so that you could believe that you can become a perfect human being someday. Otherwise, you would be shocked with your own nature.


Your tiny human conscience must be developed, so that your wild conscience (anti-conscience) may be transformed into human conscience. You have to acquire consciousness of the entire content of your brain and psyche. This process is carried on through dream translation.


The unconscious mind that produces your dreams is God's mind. This is why you receive free psychotherapy in dreams.


You are a demon because you can think. The first live conscience formed by chance in the vast universe many trillions of years ago became schizophrenic because it couldn't solve its existential problems. You have inherited this dangerous primitive conscience because you belong to the human race. Your anti-conscience remains in a primitive condition because it refuses to evolve.


When a live conscience is able to think and recognize its existence it has numerous existential problems. Thinking is a dangerous practice.


The first live conscience is Satan. Satan appears in your dreams with the image of your own mother because Satan is the mother of the human conscience.


We all originated from a satanic conscience, which was not able to find solutions because it was idiotic and disorganized. This is why it ended up on terror, craziness, and despair.


Since the first live conscience had satanic characteristics, this means that even God's conscience was satanic in the beginning of its existence. However, God discovered the power of goodness and transformed His personality. He became so powerful that He was able to create our planet with the intention to transform our satanic conscience into a perfect human conscience characterized by wisdom and sanctity.


I could discover these truths after continuing Carl Jung's research into the unknown region of the human psyche, by precisely obeying the divine guidance in dreams. Now I will show you the relationship existent between the satanic origin of the human conscience and your destiny.


God prepares your destiny based on how much you are learning the meaning of goodness or not. Everything in your life depends on the cultivation of sensitivity in your heart.


You live in order to become a sensitive human being and discover the power of goodness.


However, you don't agree with God's intention. You prefer to agree with your anti-conscience and feed your ego instead of being humble. You don't accept the obligation to always obey God's guidance.


You don't even believe in God's existence. Sometimes you participate of a few social events involving the church because this is necessary for various reasons, but you don't care about your spiritual growth.


You prefer to be a demon, and only pretend to be a human being. You like to be a modern atheist.


You don't want to learn what is unpleasant and sad. You want to discover the world by yourself. You pursue happiness, glory, power, and success.


You believe that you are unique and you have your own style. You are totally different from everyone else.


However, the truth is that you are simply repeating the common mistakes of the human race. You are merely following the absurdity of your anti-conscience and the absurdity of your historical time.


Only because you belong to the human race, you are in great trouble. You cannot be happy even if you'll attain your selfish goals.


The absurd tendencies you have inherited don't let you change your behavior and life. You also imitate the bad examples of the world without criticizing your actions.


This means that you make mistakes because you are a rational animal with an idiotic conscience, and because you imitate the misleading examples of your social environment.


How can you find happiness in life if you make so many mistakes?


This is impossible.


If you believe that you can simply ignore your psychological problems and live well, you are very far from the truth. You are also misled by many lies if you believe that you can be happy in a crazy world.


If you won't transform your personality through dream therapy and learn how to stop making mistakes, your destiny will be as tragic as your grandparents' destiny, with a few irrelevant differences. You cannot ignore the tragic origin of the human conscience and live as if you could be free.


God is trying to transform the human nature during billions of years without success. Human beings simply repeat the same mistakes, without learning anything with other people's tragedies.


We have to unavoidably fight absurdity. Otherwise, our human conscience won't survive our anti-conscience's attacks. Our satanic anti-conscience can easily destroy the human conscience we receive from God when we are born by taking advantage of our deceptions and traumas.


However, we are don't want to learn what is complicated and requires a certain effort to be comprehended. We don't want to believe that our reality is so tragic and we are in great danger. We prefer to agree with those who believe that everything is fine, and forget all complications.


This is why God is wasting His time. He keeps sending us precious messages in dreams and hoping that we will respect our religion, but we are indifferent to His pain. We will never agree with His orders.


We keep being as barbarous as we used to be when we lived in caves, or when people were executed by the guillotine. Today we have atomic bombs. Thanks to our tremendous scientific and technological progress, we are destroying our planet and killing our population faster than ever.


Will you escape the tragic destiny of those who despise God's warnings?


It depends on your attitude. You can learn how to translate the meaning of dreams according to the scientific method of dream interpretation and find salvation. You can also believe that you don't need advice.


You are free to decide.

How to Boost Your Energy Levels in Just 5 Minutes

If you want more energy to remain active and enjoy your day, you can make use of the following tips to give you the extra boost that you need to conquer all the challenges that you will face during the day:


Tip 1-Make your bed


Even though this sounds small and insignificant, this 'small' ritual helps to create a calm atmosphere in your bedroom. This calm atmosphere causes a soothing feeling to permeate through your bedroom which helps you to relax and sleep better when you are in your room.


Therefore, if you are able to use this it will help you to sleep very well at night so that when you wake up in the morning, you would be highly refreshed and strong enough to face the challenges of the day.


Tip 2-Prepare and pack a snack before you leave the house


Prepare a healthy snack to take with you before you leave your house in the morning. You can make use of fruits, unsalted nuts, and vegetables to make healthy snacks. If you have your healthy snacks ready in the afternoon, you will not be tempted to eat junk foods when you start to feel hungry.


Tip 3-Tidy your desk


Remove all the stray papers, scattered coffee mugs and all other things that clutter up your desk. If you can tidy up your external environment, you will be more organised and focused.


Tip 4-Listen to music


Good music helps to lower your blood pressure and your stress levels; it also helps to elevate your moods and keep you upbeat more easily. Download as much music as you like into a playlist on your MP3 player which you can listen to when you are at work and when you are exercising.


However, make sure you don't set the volume of your earpiece to a very high volume so that you don't end up damaging your eardrums.


Tip 5-Sniff soothing natural scents


Some fruits like lemons, basils, junipers, and lavenders have natural stress relieving scents that you can sniff to calm down your nerves.


Tip 6-Gentle stretching


Engage in gentle stretching exercises. You can stretch your arms over your head, and you can also raise and lower your shoulders gently a couple of times. These stretching movements help to improve the circulation of blood in your body and they also help to relax muscular tightness that is caused by the effect of stress.


Tip 7-Meditation


You can take out time to ponder upon bible verses that talk about the goodness and the faithfulness of God; you can meditate on inspiring bible verses from the book of psalms.


Tip 8-Count your blessings


Count and keep a record of every good thing that has happened to you. If you keep your mind constantly thinking about the all the negative things that are happening in the world around you, you will be drained of all your energy.


However, if you (and you can) choose to deliberately keep your mind on only the good things that are happening to you, you would experience higher levels of inner energy as you give thanks for all the good things that has happened to you.


Tip 9-Turn off your gadgets


Take a break from your tablet, personal computer, flat screen television, and mobile phones from time to time. Just switch off everything and unwind especially at night before you go to bed.


Even though the world is on for 24 hours every day of the week, you should switch off from time to time.


Tip 10-Set your priorities


You cannot do everything that you want to do every time. Make a list of all the things that you want to do and arrange them in their order of importance and then you can start doing them one after the other as you start from the top of the list.


If you do this, you will gradually do most of what you want to do after some time. By the way, are you interested in knowing the healthy foods that you must eat to stay fit, trim and healthy?

Revelations in Dreams, God's Anger and His Punishments

Since our dreams are produced by God, when I became a dream expert I also became a prophet able to decipher God's revelations in dreams. I had verified into practice that I could completely trust the dream messages without fear. God was not a liar. The dream messages were real.


Carl Jung was a cold psychiatrist and this is why he couldn't perceive the unconscious sanctity. He could only perceive the unconscious wisdom. This is why he had concluded that the unconscious mind is God's mind.


Of course, he understood that there was a religious side in the divine origin of the unconscious mind, but his occupation with this matter was superficial. He concentrated his attention mainly on the scientific value of the unconscious guidance in dreams.


I concentrated my attention also on the religious side of this matter.


Carl Jung was unable to perceive the unconscious sanctity because he followed the mindset of his historical time. He believed that we shouldn't have limitations and decide everything based on our moral principals and our pre-established definitions about what is good or bad.


This conclusion was absurd, but he couldn't understand this truth with the knowledge he had. If something is not good, it unavoidably is bad. When we disregard our moral principals we will surely become neurotic and surely suffer very much, besides surely causing suffering to everyone around us.


If we don't respect what is good and we are evil, we will unavoidably end up on terror and despair. Our moral principals protect our sanity.


Carl Jung disliked the idea to condemn the human behavior. He preferred to criticize religious truths based on scientific concepts.


When I managed to translate the meaning of dreams better than him and I verified the unconscious wisdom, I was indifferent to the religious side of this matter, exactly like him. I understood that I should respect the divine wisdom only later, when I perceived the sanctity contained in the dream messages. Only then could I understand that I had to be God's server instead of believing that the unconscious mind was my employee.


God thanked me because I understood my position. Then, He started telling me what to do.


He told me that I was a terrible demon, but He would give me the chance to save my sanity. I had to attain sanctity after passing though numerous crucifixions. I was very strong and this is why I could help Him eliminate evilness on Earth. A sensitive saint would never bear all the suffering I could bear because I was a violent demon.


I had to put his plan for the elimination of craziness and terror into practice and pass through an unbearable hell.


I thanked God because He gave me the chance to save my sanity. Without His guidance I would unavoidably become schizophrenic like my father.


However, I disagreed with his plan. I didn't want to be a hero.


God told me that He was afraid to trust a demon like me, but I had to pay Him back. He had suffered very much in order to make me pay attention to His words.


My literary talent was His gift. It was a bridge that was always uniting me with His wisdom.


I couldn't immediately understand what I had written when I was guided by my magical inspiration. I had to read my words many times until I could really understand their meaning. These words always had a wise meaning, even though I was young and ignorant.


Everything started making sense when I became a dream expert and I could clearly understand the symbolic meaning of dream images in dreams and in literary works. Jung had analyzed the writings of many authors who were inspired by the unconscious mind like me.


God showed me that He was revolted with the Catholic and the Orthodox Church. He would punish the members of both churches a thousand times more than the worst sinners of world.


I was baptized in both churches because my parents are Greek and therefore, Orthodox. They had decided to live in Brazil, where I was born, and this is why I studied in a Catholic school.


God showed me in dream messages that He was disgusted with the members of the Catholic and the Orthodox church because of their indifference to the horrors of the world. He told me that all members of both churches were terrible demons. Satan rules God's churches in our world.


Satan is our wild conscience. When our anti-conscience manages to destroy a big portion of our human conscience, we become visibly mentally ill. However, we are constantly influenced by our satanic anti-conscience even when our human conscience is strong.


I had to meticulously study the meaning of hypocrisy in order to understand God's anger.


I also had to face many humiliations. The members of both churches didn't believe in God's existence, and they didn't believe in miracles.


I was immediately attacked by many Catholic priests when I told them that I had discovered that we are demons and God suffers very much because of our existence.


Nobody believed that this was a divine revelation.


They told me that God had already revealed everything He had to show to the world a long time ago.


God was forbidden to make new revelations. The members of the church decided on His behalf that all revelations had happened in the past and now all revelations had ended.


When I told them that God was revolted with the members of the church because all human beings are demons and the church is not doing anything to save humanity from hell, all priests humiliated me, showing me how insignificant I was.


Nobody wanted to learn more details about my discoveries.


Whenever I tried to show to a certain priest what I had discovered after continuing Carl Jung's research into the unknown region of the human psyche, I was interrupted before being able to explain anything. Every priest would give me lessons, and tell me what a certain saint or a certain philosopher had said about this matter in the past.


I didn't need to give them explanations. They knew everything better than me. They seemed to know everything even better than God.


I hated all the conversations I had to have with the priests and nuns. However, I had to obey God's guidance like a soldier, no matter how much I hated my mission. My personal opinion had no value. The way I was feeling was unimportant too. Nothing could be more important than God's plan for the elimination of craziness and terror.


This was the only way I could help God stop suffering. His heart was always bleeding because we are not really human.


God told me that He was more than desperate. He was trying to put an end to craziness and terror during billions of years without success. He didn't know how He could still believe in this possibility and still keep trying to save the human race. He begged me to obey his guidance without complaining.


I agreed to obey His guidance, but I was always complaining because I disagreed with my suffering.


I had various discussions about God's pain with many priests and nuns. I asked them if they believed that God was always suffering because of our craziness, but they told me that God didn't suffer like us, poor human beings.


They believed that God shows apathy before the terror that rules our world; a world characterized by poverty, immorality, greed, wars, numerous crimes, and infinite lies.


In the beginning of 1991 God told me that I had to meet the bishop because this was an important part of his plan. The bishop of the Catholic church of Athens (father Nikolaos Foskolos) was very rude with me in the phone when I called him up with the intention to talk with him about my discoveries. He told me that he knew who I was. He had already learned about my existence and my discussions with many priests.


I told him that I had to tell him important revelations found in dreams translated based on Carl Jung's method of dream interpretation. He accepted to see me in the end of the week when he attended the public, but only for a few minutes, and only because I insisted.


It was obvious to me that the attempt to convince an ignorant and arrogant creature like the bishop that my discoveries were real was predestined to fail. This meeting was a waste of time. I knew beforehand that he wouldn't believe my words.


However, God not only insisted, as well as He sent me a flue. I was always punished whenever I disagreed with His guidance. God forced me to be obedient.


I would do the same if I was in His place. His suffering was more than unbearable and He depended on someone's obedience.


I met the bishop a certain Friday morning in his very well equipped office, which was far from being modest. I told him that humanity would condemn the church when I would prove to the world that we are demons and everyone goes to hell after death. I told him that I was writing a scientific book to prove these truths to the world.


He told me that I was free to write whatever I had the intention to. He had no objections.


Then, I told him that God was revolted with the members of the Catholic church, reminding Him Jesus' words: "The servers who know what the Lord expects from them but don't do what the Lord expects from them will be punished in double". In other words, God punishes more those who know what He wants from them but refuse to do their obligation, than those who ignore His will.


The bishop was not afraid. He didn't believe that he was disobeying God only because he was not paying attention to my revelations.


I told him that God was revolted also because the Catholic church stopped believing in the existence of demons, while Jesus gave us many lessons about Satan.


The bishop gave me a piece of paper, where he had written something. The word 'demon' was there, in a sentence. He was trying to show me with this document that he believed in the demon, and He didn't need to be reminded by me.


Then, he opened the big wooden door of his office, showing me the way out. I thanked him for his time and left, glad because he didn't hit me. At least he seemed to be civilized.


After this experience I understood why the meeting with the bishop was so important. God didn't expect to see me convincing him of anything. God wanted to show me how alone He was. I was the only one who was precisely obeying His guidance on Earth.


All human beings are demons who merely pretend to be human. God is always angry with all sinners.

How the Mind Controls Pain

Pain is the most common reason for physician visits in the United States. It is a physically uncomfortable feeling that is caused by an illness or an action. It serves as a "warning symptom" that motivates people to draw away from damaging situations or limit body parts from moving while it heals. However, pain can also be caused even after the stimulus is removed, or even without any stimulus at all. This pain can be caused by an internal condition and can be recurrent, which is known as chronic pain.


While pain is helpful, in a way, it can greatly reduce one's quality of life - especially when pain is long-standing or recurring. Chronic pain, like that of the head (migraines), back, neck and other areas of the body are often


Pain and The Mind


Modern science is slowly investigating the support of mind-body therapies like meditation and biofeedback in pain control, following the idea that the mind may have power over the body. But how does the mind respond to and control pain?


What Researches Show


Pain is tied to brain function that also governs one's behavior. The perception of pain greatly varies from one person to the other - not just due to the severity of one's injury - but also due to other psychological factors. These factors involve previous pain experience, anxiety, stress levels, heredity, fear, depression and general health. Motivation also plays a role in pain perception. Depressed individuals may feel incapacitated by a minor injury, while many wounded soldiers ignore their own pain to save other soldiers during a battle.


One study done in Stanford University studied how imagery could control pain. The results show that specific images, such as that of flames could increase the pain. Flowing water, on the other hand helped reduce symptoms of pain.


The same study also revealed that empowerment helped control painful symptoms. The fact that patients could see their pain through imaging, helped them realize that they could control it.


Another study in the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf focused on thinking, and how it could affect pain. Twenty volunteers were given tests - an easier one-back test and a trickier n-back test. While taking the test, the participants received a burning sensation on their forearms. The heating element that was used could reach around 47 degrees Celsius, which was enough to produce a burning sensation but not enough to burn, the skin. It was revealed that participants who took the more difficult n-back test felt less burning and less pain than their counterparts who took the easier test.


What You Can Do Now
Today, more and more studies are being done about pain control techniques with the use of the mind. However, one thing is known and understood by many researchers and scientists our there - pain is exacerbated by tension. This means that if you can control tension in your mind, you can help reduce painful sensations - or even alleviate them. There are mind-body control techniques that have already been proven to work. These include deep breathing, acupuncture, use of imagery, yoga, Pilates, meditation and other relaxation techniques.

Think Your Muscles Bigger, The Power of Visualisation

Much has been written about the MIND: MUSCLE connection in the fields of bodybuilding and physique enhancement, a phenomenon that has been consistently backed up by scientific research. In 2010 in France at the Centre of Research and Innovation in Sport researchers showed that mental imagery boosted performance in the gym, increasing strength in both the bench press and leg press.

19 subjects were recruited for a 6 week study, and were assigned to either a mental imagery or a control group. The 2 groups performed identical bench press and leg press exercises. The difference came during the rest period between sets. The mental imagery group were told to visualise the exercise movement and imagine how the muscles would feel during each rep. The control group carried out a neutral task.

After 12 workouts, the mental imagery group had gained strength more quickly than the control group. They increased both their single rep maximum lift and the number of reps that they could do with given weights.

The mental imagery group were told to picture in their heads the muscle that they were training and to mentally successfully achieve a certain number of reps with a weight before they trained. They were told to FEEL the set in their heads from the moment the weight was picked up to the conclusion of the set, picturing as vividly as possible how each rep felt.

Without going into too much science, mental imagery helps to increase muscle strength and consequential performance by making your neuromuscular system more efficient, recruiting muscle fibres that would not otherwise be used. This, in simple terms, enables you to lift greater amounts of weight, which in turn leads to the development of larger muscles.

Perhaps the most famous example of this is multi Mr Olympia/ Mr Universe winner Arnold Schwarzenegger who thought of his biceps as mountains where there was no limit to biceps growth, which enabled him to go beyond normal mental barriers.

The results of the research in France mirrored those achieved at Hull University which was presented to the British Psychological Society's Annual Conference at the City Hall Cardiff in March 2006. In this study, 30 people performed machine bicep curls with a machine that measured how much their biceps were working. Subjects tried to produce as much force as possible under three conditions: (1) thinking only about their muscles and how they were working, (2) thinking about the weight they were lifting and (3) thinking about whatever they wanted.

It was found that there was significantly more muscle activity when people concentrated and focussed on the muscle that they were working rather than the weight that they were lifting.

Thinking about a muscle increases action potential, the electrical discharge that travels along the membrane of a cell, but will only lead to increased strength if the muscle is fully contracted, becomes overloaded, and is then allowed to repair and recover.

At the Cleveland Clinic Foundation subjects visualised contracting a finger or bending an elbow but not to perform a task. Over a 12 week period in which subjects did 50 mental contractions 5 days per week, the muscles powering the finger and elbow strengthened by 35% and 13.5%, respectively.

Stimulating a specific muscle response can also be generated by watching the actions of others. In a study at the University of Surrey, researchers found that watching live performances of dance resulted in muscle-specific motor responses in viewers, even when those viewers had no formal training in these movements. Study participants were either frequent dance spectators of ballet, Indian dance, or novices who never watched dance. Researchers tested participants using a technique called single pulse trans cranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to measure corticospinal excitability, or signals in the hand and arm. Researchers found that if the subject was watching a motor action performed by somebody else, the motor cortex got excited. Knowing how excited the motor cortex was meant that the brain was tuning itself in ready for similar actions.

The empathic ability of participants was also tested, using an Interpersonal Reactivity Index (IRI). This is a standard questionnaire used to measure cognitive empathy. It includes a fantasy scale, with questions designed to gauge the ability to immerse yourself into a fictional character, story, or film.

Frequent ballet spectators showed larger responses in the arm muscles when watching ballet compared to when they watched other types of dance, similar results were found with Indian dance fans when watching Indian dance. They also found that that the Indian dance spectators scored higher on the fantasy subscale of the IRI. Results showed that even without physical training, corticospinal excitability can be enhanced as a function of either visual experience, or the tendency to imaginatively transpose oneself into fictional characters. They concluded that it might be possible that transposing oneself mentally into the body of a dancer has some beneficial effects for you, as in your somatosensory perception of yourself, such as the imagined feeling (that) you were dancing with somebody else.

Transposing this to the field of muscle building it would be interesting to see the muscular responses of weight lifting fans watching a weight lifting competition or bodybuilders watching a movie of some top professionals doing a workout.

What all of the above suggests is the power of the mind for muscle building. Recently I have been conducting my own trials, which at some stage I hope to publish, working with teenage Rugby players. Without, at this stage, going into too much detail, individual subjects have been using visualisation as a means to increase overall body strength. The results have been nothing short of amazing with strength increases of in excess of 30% being achieved on average by all participants.

Being a full on contact sport, additional strength equates on the pitch to improved performance levels (these of course are highly subjective) as determined by the players, coaches and of course results (winning) juxtaposed with fewer injuries.

To summarise the above - your mind is a very powerful tool when it comes to muscle building. Before you train you need to get yourself into the correct mind set by observing something inspirational in an associated field (such as in the example above a series of You Tube clips with impressive Rugby tries and tackles). Then before doing a particular exercise focus on the muscle that you are working. The greater the amount of your focus on the muscle the greater the results will be. Feel the muscle as you do the exercise. Concentrate solely on the muscle rather than the resistance being moved. As a side note, in this last respect, from a safety point of view, it is preferential to train with machines rather than free weights as free weights often need more concentration on the movement in order for the exercise to be done correctly.

Once the workout is complete, keep your visualisations going by KNOWING that your muscles have been worked fully and keeping your mind channelled into the additional growth that it will bring.

Use your mind to achieve greater results in your training. By focusing in on your muscles rather than the exercise you can greatly enhance your muscle size and strength, I am currently working with many leading bodybuilders, Rugby Players, Athletes and sports professionals all of whom are benefiting from the power of visualization and the appliance of science to muscle building.

Why We Can't Fall Asleep

We all know that we require sleep, but it's still a mystery to science, why we can't sleep. One thing is clear, science does not have all the answers.


Our bodies run on a twenty four hour cycle known as our biological clock or circadian rhythm. The circadian rhythm controls our wake/sleep cycle. If we honor this rhythm and live in harmony with our biological clock, sleep will come naturally.


There is a lot of speculation on this subject we call, insomnia. I listed some reasons that may surprise you.


Ten Reasons Why People Don't Fall Asleep


1. First ask yourself; are you ready to sleep? Certain personality types may feel like there is so much to do, but not enough hours in the day. When you deny yourself enough sleep you may develop a sleep disorder.


2. You should dedicate an area such as the bedroom that invites you to sleep, not the couch where the big screen television is located. You know the feeling when you are on vacation and you can't wait to get home to your own bed.


3. We don't give enough thought to the purchase of a proper mattress, a primary sleep aid. Specific support unique to your needs can help you fall asleep and stay asleep. People seldom consider the condition of their mattress after so many years of use.


4. Watching TV in bed at bedtime, is known to stimulate your senses which can cause a hormone, adrenalin, to be released through your veins causing a fight or flight reaction that can keep you awake.


5. If you share a bed with a partner their sleeping patterns (his or her snoring) may be keeping you awake.


6. Stress, is blocked negative energy and is a major contributor to sleeplessness at night. Read about the ways you relieve stress quickly and easily?


7. Dieting will keep you awake as your body undergoes a natural response. The brain is notified that the body is hungry and will release hormones into the blood stream that will keep you awake. Read on to see a list of the foods you should eat to help you sleep.


8. Research reveals, there is a receptor in the human eye that reacts to light. This receptor triggers the brain to suppress the production of melatonin which is our body's natural sleep aid. Should you take a melatonin supplement?


9. Computers give off electromagnetic energy in the form of vibrations. If you work in your bedroom the computer screen should be completely turned off. The exciting images and flashing lights can trigger this receptor.


10. The temperature in the room must suit your sleep needs. Too hot or too cold will make it hard to sleep. What's the right temperature that will help you sleep?


Science has done extensive research on sleep, and has determined that we need at least eight hours of sleep each night for our bodies to rejuvenate. The reason that some of us can't fall asleep and stay asleep for eight hours might not be so scientific after all, but it may be something else...


Now that you know some of the reasons why you can't sleep if you click the link you will discover new tips and tools that can help you to fall asleep at amzn.com/B007X2SBZ4. "The Secret to Falling Asleep and Staying Asleep" examines the whole story just visit the link: amzn.com/B007X2SBZ4.

Can The Way You Dress Affect Your Mental And Physical Health

Can the way you dress affect your health? Some experts say it can. Of course dressing inappropriately for the season can decrease your body's immune system, but that is not the only way your wardrobe could potentially affect your health. Nor is the physical aspect of health the only concern. You have the same make up as every other human being. Your body responds to the same stimuli. If you neglect certain parts of what makes you who you are, you open yourself up to many negative things. Whether you do it consciously or not, the way you dress tells a story about you. It lets people know how you feel mentally as well as physically. If you feel good about yourself from a physical stance, you will tend to wear clothing that showcases confidence and a look at me aura., thereby, helping to keep your immune system healthy. However, if you do not feel good about your physical state, no matter what you put on it will show a sense of using clothes to hide in plain sight of everyone; and that can suppress your immune system.


It goes even further than that. Studies have shown that wearing certain fashions have the ability to change your mood. Dark clothing tends to portray a sad picture. Constantly being around an environment like that can have a negative affect on your mental state and the mind plays a big part in your overall health. This is why hospital rooms are a certain color. Different hues are known to help the body to heal due to the positive state of mind they put you in. There are many bugs out there that wage war against your body to move in and cohabit with your normal system, but when your immune system is healthy, it wards of the attack; sometimes without you even knowing about it. However, if you do things that affect your mental health, it has been proven that you weaken your immune system by your own hands; making it easier for microbes to invade. A melancholy dress style will do more than cause people to perceive you in that manner. It also makes your body react accordingly, too.


Further still, as those you encounter think that you look under the weather and continually asks you if you are feeling bad because you look down, your body will eventually take on the role of being sick. And whether it is a microbial sickness or mentally induced one, they feel the same. Knowing this should encourage you to take more care in how you present yourself when it comes to picking out your wardrobe. You tend to become what you visualize yourself to be. If you constantly surround yourself with attire that depicts a sunny disposition, your attitude is more likely to correspond with that look. The saying birds of a feather flock together is totally true. You should consider your clothes as your feathers. Feathers are not who the bird is, but they grow from the bird and therefore are an important part of what the bird is. Likewise, your clothes are chosen by you and they give an impression of who you are.


So if you want to put forth a healthy persona, it would help to ensure your clothes match your insides or at least match how you want to feel. If your outfits cause people to return looks and stares of negativity, you are the one who bares the brunt of those looks and they do have an effect on you. The more you are bombarded with that, the more it wears away at your overall health. Another way to enhance your overall health with your dress is to step it up a notch and cause onlookers to give you the attention you want by wearing clothing and accessories that put you on a higher level than your peers. Rather than just wear something common in casual or dress, why not push the barriers a little and add some flair to what your have on. Instead of just wearing a shirt, add a light scarf or ascot tie tied around your neck. Rather than choosing the normal tucked in shirt with dress coat and slacks, wear something that has an extended cuff and let your shirt tail hang out under your jacket over a pair of designer jeans. It's sure to get some eyeballs on you accompanied with smiles of admiration. That can only boost your immune system.


Attention to color, style and fashion has the potential to boost your mental and physical health. Consider dressing to help improve your overall well being. Providing quality counselling articles, hynotherapy writings and other mind help resources online.

3 Reasons Why CrossFit and Farmers Markets Go Hand-In-Hand

I am sure no one will argue that the American local farmers markets are making a strong comeback due to various reasons affecting the majority of citizens. The American economic landscape has eroded over the last five years due to things that can be considered unnatural. The financial and agricultural industries have been injected with unnatural constructs and biological uncertainties. For this reason, the true long term effects have yet to be realized.


CrossFit, on the other hand, came from very humble beginnings with the purpose to bring fitness and overall improved physical health to the masses.


Greg Glassman introduced CrossFit to the world via the Internet by posting constantly varied, high intensity exercises. These exercises were functional in nature and performed at a level of intensity that very few individuals could handle, even seasoned athletes.


Strong communities like Law Enforcement, First Responders, and all branches of the Military embraced the CrossFit standards and rose to new levels of fitness. CrossFit participants (AKA: CrossFitters) began to standout in unit-level competitions.


The CrossFit standard began to catch on worldwide across cultures and industries alike. The CrossFit Community was formed by individuals helping individuals become more fit both mentally and physically.


So let us explore 3 reasons why the community effect of CrossFit and the local farmers markets are so closely related.


1. Eating and Drinking Clean Organic Foods and Beverages


The farm-to-market concept was how it all began before the technology of agri-business came into play. Big agri-business is more concerned with profits and shareholders not the quality of the products produced. Cutting corners and playing with God's genetic design has only led to decreased nutritional value for the earth and human being alike.


Part of the CrossFit fitness standard is nutritional health. So the most efficient way to get your nutrition is to eat as many high quality organic whole foods as possible. Which means foods that are not genetically modified (GMO) and foods that use minimal or no pesticides. The farmers that produce these foods use natural forms of composting for premium soil nutrients and, heirloom seeds that still retain high nutrient quantities from the pre-agribusiness timeframe.


Drinking clean filtered water is key to maintain proper hydration. The reverse osmosis method of filtration is the most trusted and reliable. Any beverage being produced should us filtered water of the same standard. Fermented beverages like Kefir and Kombucha contain life giving enzymes that help provide the harmony and balance your digestive system needs.


Last but not least, the consumption of pasture-raised animals that are grass feed and are allowed to feed off of their natural habitat. Feedlot animals are raised in harsh conditions which require artificial means to help them fight off infections (i.e. multiple vaccinations) and are fed the cheapest of food that is counterproductive to the animal's health and well being.


2. Supporting Locally-Owned Businesses


Strong communities are built on supporting local business. People-helping-people is where true community health and wealth is built. Building a tribal effect of truly caring for your neighbor and their family can only lead to prosperity. I always say, "you can truly see where someone stands when you take money or the pursuit of money out of the equation".


The CrossFit affiliate is a community entity that has a passion for helping people in their local community. Its members are a special group of people that believe in charitable giving that support local causes.


3. Growing Community Relationships


Knowing the name or names of the individuals who produce your food strengthens your bond with those folks and it gives them an incentive to continue to produce food at very high standard. As individuals benefit from the local produce, they spread the word. The local farmers market is usually a family affair with several generations that come out and visit.


CrossFitters, in the same way, receive such a great benefit from the workouts and members work hard to involve their entire family and close friends. Similar recommendations from CrossFit members show the strength of the movement which show no signs of slowing down.


The Bottom Line


For total health and wellness, support your local farmers market to fulfill your nutritional needs and visit your local CrossFit affiliate to fulfill your physical fitness needs.


Either way, you can't go wrong.

Sleep Is Necessary to Life

The importance of sleep cannot be overstated. According to a recent report, 70 million Americans are having trouble getting a good night's sleep. Research from Harvard Medical School's Division of Sleep Medicine has shown the critical importance of sleep in fortifying the body and keeping the mind clear. Modern science has also shown how necessary a good night of sleep is for maintaining healthy brain functions such as memory and learning skills.


Why So Many of Us Sleep Deprived


The reasons are not surprising. For many women, stress is the main reason for lack of sleep. When you're mentally stressed at night, the body increases its production of cortisol, the stress hormone that acts like a shot of adrenaline preventing restful sleep.


For others, it's the culture we live in with so many temptations to stay up late surfing the internet, texting friends, playing video games, checking emails, watching Netflix, etc.


Many Americans are also over-worked with longer hours and night shifts which leads to an over-indulgence in caffeine from coffee, soda, energy drinks and sugar.


The Important Benefits of Sleep


There are so many reasons to get enough sleep. Studies have linked sleep deprivation to a higher risk of stroke and insomniacs are more likely to suffer a heart attack than those individuals who sleep well at night.


Getting enough sleep at night will also make your mind sharper, your skin healthier and your body slimmer. You will even be nicer and may improve your marriage since lack of sleep can make us irritable and cranky.


Learn How to Sleep Again


Remember when you could fall asleep and stay asleep, waking up feeling rested and refreshed, ready to take on the day? When left untreated, trouble falling asleep can lead to chronic tension, anxiety and even weight gain.


If you are ready to check yourself into sleep rehab or need a sleep intervention, then consider the following sensible tips to help you reclaim your rest and get the type of deep sleep that will rejuvenate your mind and your body.


Tips to Sleeping Better at Night


- Turn off all electronics one hour before bedtime.


- Take time to unwind with a warm bath or good book.


- Set the thermostat to a cooler temperature at night to promote sleep.


- Ease up on the amount of caffeine you drink, especially after 3 PM.


- Maintain a consistent sleep-wake schedule including the weekends.


- Consider a sleep mask to block out all light that can disrupt your sleep.


There is no one single solution to improve sleep that works for everyone. Try doing a few things differently at night to find out what works for you. It will be worth the effort because sleep is a basic necessity just like eating and can have a significant impact on every aspect of your overall health and well being. Sweet dreams!

Your Ultimate Guide To Reiki

Reiki is a technique developed by a Buddhist monk in 1922. It is widely accepted as a method for therapy, stress reduction, relaxation and some professionals even consider it to be a form of medicine.


How Does It Work?


Reiki is based on the concept of an unseen energy force constantly flowing through and around us that actually causes us to be alive. If we have a high amount of this energy force, we will become healthy and happy. On the other hand, a low amount of this life force energy is considered to actually cause sickness, depression and general unhappiness.


Practitioners believe that reiki works through transferring this universal energy through the palms in their hands. Effectively, they are channeling this positive energy through their hands and onto the person.


This technique is actually surprisingly simple to teach. A student could simply attend a class with a master known as an "attunement". During this class, the master would pass the ability to access an unlimited amount of life force onto the student. In theory, this would then grant access to happiness and general wellbeing.


Types Of Reiki


There are roughly 25 different types of reiki, the following are the most widely used and important.


Karuna- The effect of Karuna can actually be transferred through chanting and is often used to help overcome addictions.


Usui- This was named after the founder of reiki, Mikao Usai. This was the first type of Reiki, the rest have branched from this.


Tibetan- Using many of the techniques used in Usai reiki, it is considered to be a very powerful Tibeten method for attunement.


Rainbow- This works by using the 7 main chakras within your body.to help repair the physical and mental aspects.


Gendai- Gendai can be translated into modern. The creator brought a strong Buddhist aspect to the original teachings.


Practitioners of reiki believe the only reason we are alive is due to the life force flowing inside us. They believe that it is flowing through us via the pathways known as nadis, meridians and chakras, as well as an aura surrounding us. This life force is used to feed out organs and major cells inside our bodies. If there is a lack of life force flowing to these areas, this is when we will experience bad health. They use reiki during these circumstances, in order to increase the levels of positive life force and increase happiness and health as a result.

How Do We Sometimes Get Sick?

According to Google, approximately 7,480,000 global monthly searches are done for the keywords "how do we get sick." In America and across the world, people are crying out for help in understanding the science of preventing disease. How do we get sick should not continue to be a common question if we search medical research with the intent of finding out what is the major cause of our sicknesses.


In 2011, one of ABCNews' headlines read, "'Lifestyle' diseases the world's biggest killer." It said that "non-communicable diseases are now the leading cause of death around the world"; the World Health Organization blames "... the rise in 'lifestyle' diseases[:]... tobacco use, poor diet and the harmful use of alcohol, and warns public policies are needed to prevent them." If we want to be well, we must personally adhere to this warning. National Geographic highlighted a community in Loma Linda, California that is the longest living in America because it emphasizes having a healthier diet and lifestyle. If this is a major key to wellness, then what do we need to consider practically in our own lives?


A 19th century, prolific writer on the subject of health gave a time tested principle on how we get sick and gave tips on how we can be in a healthier state. "Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health. In case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained. Unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected. Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions in the system." Ministry of Healing, 127. How do we sometimes get sick? Like Morgan Spurlock from Super Size Me, we might have not paid attention to the lifestyle related causes of our illnesses.


In order to ascertain the cause of disease, we need ask ourselves a few simple questions. How is my nutrition? Am I exercising regularly? Am I drinking enough water? How much sunshine am I receiving? Do I avoid harmful substances and activities, and am I temperate in the beneficial ones? Am I getting fresh, vitalizing air? How much rest do I receive each night? Do I trust in divine power?


Asking these questions help us get a big picture view of lifestyle changes that we might need to make to have more vibrant, healthier lives. We might have looked at the attainment of health as something that only comes by chance. However, as we study our human bodies just like even former US president Bill Clinton did after a stent was placed in his heart, we'll learn that the question of whether or not we get sick has more to do with our diet and lifestyle choices than we might realize.

Pros and Cons of Corporate Wellness Plans

It is important to consider both the pros and cons of corporate wellness plans. While employee health and wellness is certainly a goal worth striving towards, business owners should always consider the costs and consequences of such an endeavor. If poorly executed, workplace health programs may become an unnecessary company expense. Additionally, employees may feel singled out if emphasis is only placed on a certain areas of employee health-such as weight loss or smoking. However, the benefits of corporate wellness plans are also worth considering. An effective wellness plan may result in higher employee performance and production levels. As well, a significant reduction in company health care costs, make corporate wellness plans a valuable financial option. Carefully considering the benefits and limitations of workplace health programs will allow business owners to choose corporate wellness plans that work best for their company.


The advantages of using corporate wellness plans are many. Promoting the overall well being of one's employees sends a message that the company is truly looking out for each worker's best interests. Good employee health not only lowers a company's health care costs, but also endorses individual employee health and wellness. When each worker is able to perform at his or her highest levels, increases in employee performance and production result. This profits the company both corporately and individually. As well, workplace health programs build a sense of community and support structure for long-term health and wellness. For example if a weight-loss program or running group is started, the employees who join the programs will find themselves surrounded by fellow workers who share the same passions. This sense of community and support system often lasts much longer than the program itself, resulting in long-term employee wellness.


It is also critical to evaluate the negatives associated with corporate wellness plans. Many employers do not consider the costs or consequences of implementing certain programs. Financial planning is crucial to implementing successful workplace health programs. While health care costs will be reduced in the long run, initial start-up costs must be considered. Whether hiring wellness experts, nutritionists, or building an on-site gym, start-up expenses must be accounted for. A carefully crafted financial plan that keeps the company's best interests in mind is critical to the success of every corporate wellness plan. Business owners must ask themselves if a gym is truly necessary or consider how his or her employee's would respond to a weight loss program. A keen understanding of how one's company functions will save business owners who are considering implementing corporate wellness plans, from expending unnecessary funds.


Employers should consider not using funds from their employee's paychecks to pay for the implementation of corporate wellness plans. Most workers already allocate a significant amount of their paycheck towards health care and insurance. Employees may resist workplace health programs that cause them to give up more of their finances. In this case, an employer should consider inexpensive means by which the company can implement wellness goals-such as a weight loss program with a gift card to a popular store as the prize. Another con to consider is that some employees may feel that a corporate wellness program has been specifically targeted at them-especially in the cases of weight loss or smoking. The poor health effects of these conditions are well-known, and often cause pain or embarrassment to employees who struggle with overcoming them to live a healthier lifestyle. Knowing one's company again in this instance, is essential. While some offices may find great success with competitive wellness programs, others may benefit more from an educational health approach. Hiring a wellness expert to offer additional solutions may reduce negative outcomes associated with workplace health programs.

The Impossible

I'm sitting at my desk staring at my diploma that arrived today. I had just got out of the shower when my husband walked in and showed me the package. He opened it and we both sat there just looking at it. He laughed as he said "Master of Science. All I can picture is you in a white lab coat working with chemicals". I remember when I thought I would never even complete my Associates degree, no less a Masters degree. When I finally completed my Associates degree, I thought to myself "I could get my Bachelors degree. I don't want to waste my GI Bill". Through pregnancy and the birth of my son I completed my Bachelors degree. I will never forget sitting in the hospital doing college algebra online, after having my son who was very sick. You want to talk stressful- that was stressful, and I'm good with numbers. I would have paid someone to complete that class for me, but I pushed through and completed it.


My associates and bachelors degrees were both in business and I really wanted a degree in my first true love, fitness. I decided to go for my Masters so I could have a degree in the field I was working in. Not to mention, I love to learn. There is a never ending flow of information available to us, especially in my line of work. In July I completed my Masters program and I am so proud of myself for achieving my education goals while owning a business, being a military wife, and having a child.


There were so many weekends I stayed home while others went out, in order to complete homework assignments. I spent countless hours studying and trying to balance life in the process. The saying "do now what others won't, to live a lifetime as others can't" rings very true to me. I'm thankful for the sacrifices I made and I'm so thankful for the people who supported me a long the way, specifically my husband.


I am now starting my Doctorate program. This is something I never in a million years thought I could do, but I'm doing it. If you would have told me I would have a Doctorate degree 5 years ago, I probably would have gave up before I even started because the thought was to overwhelming and too far out of reach.


You have to take the first step in your journey no matter what it is. Set goals you feel are attainable and move in that direction. The more you accomplish, the more empowered you will feel. I feel that there is absolutely nothing I can't do now. If I want it, I know that I can make it happen. The same is true for you. Embrace your gifts and invest in yourself!


To you health,


Jessica Summerall: This is the motto I choose to practice to make sure that I am doing everything I possibly can to ensure someone is successful, long term. My job is to educate, support, train, teach, and encourage the people who come into my life. Their job is to use those tools to achieve the success they desire, whether it be financial or physical.
