The Brain Rejects Negative Thoughts

By James Gallagher / Source: BBC News

One reason optimists retain a positive outlook even in the face of evidence to the contrary has been discovered, say researchers.

A study, published in Nature Neuroscience, suggests the brain is very good at processing good news about the future.

However, in some people, anything negative is practically ignored - with them retaining a positive world view.

The authors said optimism did have important health benefits.

The Price of Your Soul: How the Brain Decides Whether to Sell Out

A neuro-imaging study shows that personal values that people refuse to disavow, even when offered cash to do so, are processed differently in the brain than those values that are willingly sold.

"Our experiment found that the realm of the sacred -- whether it's a strong religious belief, a national identity or a code of ethics -- is a distinct cognitive process," says Gregory Berns, director of the Center for Neuropolicy at Emory University and lead author of the study. The results were published in Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.

Sacred values prompt greater activation of an area of the brain associated with rules-based, right-or-wrong thought processes, the study showed, as opposed to the regions linked to processing of costs-versus-benefits.

Is Yoga a Sex Cult?

By William J. Broad / Source: NY Times

The wholesome image of yoga took a hit in the past few weeks as a rising star of the discipline came tumbling back to earth. After accusations of sexual impropriety with female students, John Friend, the founder of Anusara, one of the world's fastest-growing styles, told followers that he was stepping down for an indefinite period of "self-reflection, therapy and personal retreat."

Mr. Friend preached a gospel of gentle poses mixed with openness aimed at fostering love and happiness. But Elena Brower, a former confidante, has said that insiders knew of his "penchant for women" and his love of "partying and fun."

Few had any idea about his sexual indiscretions, she added. The apparent hypocrisy has upset many followers.

"Those folks are devastated," Ms. Brower wrote in The Huffington Post. "They're understandably disappointed to hear that he cheated on his girlfriends repeatedly" and "lied to so many."

But this is hardly the first time that yoga's enlightened facade has been cracked by sexual scandal. Why does yoga produce so many philanderers? And why do the resulting uproars leave so many people shocked and distraught?

Can Dreams Predict the Future?

By Richard Wiseman, Author of Paranormality

Aberfan is a small village in South Wales. In the Sixties, many of those living there worked at a nearby colliery that had been built to exploit the large amount of high-quality coal in the area.

Although some of the waste from the mining operation had been stored underground, much of it had been piled on the steep hillsides surrounding the village.

Throughout October 1966, heavy rain lashed down on the area and seeped into the porous sandstone of the hills. Unfortunately, no one realised the water was then flowing into several hidden springs and slowly transforming the pit waste into soft slurry.

Just after nine o’clock on the morning of October 21, the side of the hill subsided and half a million tons of debris started to move rapidly towards the village.

Although some of the material came to a halt on the lower parts of the hill, much of it slid into Aberfan and smashed into the village school. A handful of children were pulled out alive during the first hour or so of the rescue effort, but no other survivors emerged.

In all, 116 schoolchildren and 28 adults lost their lives in the tragedy.

Psychiatrist John Barker visited the village the day after the landslide.

Barker had a long-standing interest in the paranormal and wondered whether the extreme nature of events in Aberfan might have caused large numbers of people to experience a premonition about the tragedy.

Eternal Youth Found in Timeless Civilization

By Chris D'Cruz, creator of The Ageless Secrets

Here's something amazing...

The fountain of youth has been discovered by a little known civilization over 2300 years ago!

And they still exist isolated from the world where they live to be 120 to 140 years old.

The people of this nation do not suffer from the ailments that prematurely kill the modern man.

Obesity, cancer, heart attacks, and other diseases are relatively unheard of in their society, because virtually none of them ever suffer from such diseases.

Men from this nation are straight, tall, broad-shouldered, deep-chested, slim-waist, heavy legged and have full heads of hair.

They remain virile well into their golden years, fathering children at age 100 or even older.

Top 10 Happiness Books to Improve Your Mood

The year is still young, and as we think of making and breaking those inevitable New Year's resolutions, we cannot help but ask: Why can't we just be happy?

It is the perfect time to look at new books on happiness and the psychology of happiness and see what developments have emerged in the last few years.

While the positive psychology movement began in the late 1990s with Martin E.P. Seligman as its recognized guru, self-help sections in bookstores have recently seen increased demand for books on happiness.

In 2009, Psychology Today described what it saw as a "happiness frenzy" with "4,000 books published in 2008 while a mere 50 books were published on the topic in 2000."

The books listed below should satisfy readers wanting to know how they can become happier right now. "Rather than pursue the state of happiness," write the authors ofThe Creativity Cure, "we believe in pursuing habits that give rise to happiness, thereby creating more opportunities for experiencing moments of joy, inspiration, purpose and meaning."

The Happiest Countries on Earth

By Francesca Levy/ Source: Forbes

In the wake of their World Cup loss, residents of the Netherlands may be feeling depressed. But there's reason to believe they won't be done in by the agony of defeat: According to a recent poll, the country is one of the happiest in the world.

Championship-winning Spain, on the other hand, was swept with euphoria and national pride, but that may have been an unfamiliar feeling. The country ranks No. 17 of 21 European countries in terms of happiness.

The fact is good times probably have more to do with the size of your wallet than the size of your trophy shelf. The five happiest countries in the world -- Denmark, Finland, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands -- are all clustered in the same region, and all enjoy high levels of prosperity.

Schoolgirl Exorcist Sisters: 'We're Not Like Normal Teenagers'

By Jeff Maysh / Source: Daily Mail UK

The five teenage girls might look like they're in a normal class, eagerly reading their textbooks and answering their teacher's questions diligently.

But the textbooks are Bibles and the girls all have crosses instead of protractors, as they train to become exorcists - real exorcists who fight demons, curses and evil spells.

'People do look a bit surprised when I arrive,' admits graduate exorcist Brynne Larson. 'When people call for an exorcist, they don't picture a 16-year-old high school girl.'

How to Use NLP to Exorcise Your Demons and Start Attracting Health, Love and Money

By Charles Steed, Author of Dark Persuasion Techniques

People are sponges for information. As we make our way through life we pick up all kinds of data. Some of it is useful and some not so useful. And some of the stuff we absorb is downright hazardous to our well being.

We're especially susceptible to internalizing non-supportive beliefs and ideas when we're very young. From the time we arrive home from the maternity ward we take in the majority of our impressions and beliefs from the people in our immediate environment, usually our parents.

So if our parents are well rounded, reasonable people, we tend to be well rounded and reasonable. I realize the word reasonable, or any other descriptive word is relative but please, follow along.

Psychic Cloudbusting

By Neil Slade

You have pre-existing circuits in your brain for psychic and telekinetic powers. They are in a dormant (currently unused) area of your brain. By learning how to click your amygdala forward, you can activate these areas easily and quickly. You can change clouds, maybe even the weather, with your mind.

This is something I learned to do myself twenty years ago, and was able to teach friends almost instantly. I know at least six people who can do this without any problem, and actually are rather nonchalant about it. You will be able to do this yourself and when you do, a part of your frontal lobes will be activated, and reality will never seem quite the same any more.

Why It's All Wonderfully Good

By Zen Gardner

If your eyes have been opened you'll see how simple this truth is. While it can be daunting seeing the beating about the head the world is getting in so many ways via vast lies and conspiracies, what is it ultimately showing you? And most of us probably would never have noticed had the world not been such an upside down, backwards conundrum.

All this serves a wonderful, magnificent purpose.

What we see around us is not reality. It's a vast manipulated illusion. It's virtually a trick to see who'll fall for it.

Anti-Virus For Your Mind

"Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right." -Henry Ford

So true are the words of Henry Ford as he describes the power of the mind and the thoughts we think...

Whether you think you can - or you think you can't - YOU'RE RIGHT!!!

But, let's be honest. We've been brought up to believe that the world isn't an easy place to navigate...

...and we've been taught that it's down right HARD to manifest wealth, health, and happiness. We think we CAN'T the majority of the time because... the biggest blockade to manifesting our desires is, well... the BLOCKADE of limiting beliefs we've downloaded from parents, schools, the media, etc.

The Earth is Alive

The Earth is alive, asserts a new scientific theory of life emerging from Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine. The trans-disciplinary theory demonstrates that purportedly inanimate, non-living objects — for example,planets, water, proteins, and DNA — are animate, that is, alive.

Erik Andrulis, PhD, assistant professor of molecular biology and microbiology, advanced his controversial framework in his manuscript "Theory of the Origin, Evolution, and Nature of Life," published in the peer-reviewed journal, Life. His theory explains not only the evolutionary emergence of life on Earth and in the Universe but also the structure and function of existing cells and biospheres.

In addition to resolving long-standing paradoxes and puzzles in chemistry and biology, Andrulis' theory unifies quantum and celestial mechanics. His unorthodox solution to this quintessential problem in physics differs from mainstream approaches, like string theory, as it is simple, non-mathematical, and experimentally and experientially verifiable.

The Universe Always Says Yes

By Aine Belton, Creator of Matrix Shift

Miracles are natural. When you awaken to the true nature of reality and discover it is not the solid world it appears to be and that you are its source not subject, you begin to experience life as the magical dream that it truly is.

The more you acknowledge yourself as the powerful co-creator that you are, the more you will step into a whole new way of living, creating and experiencing your life where synchronicities and serendipities abound and miracles no longer surprise you (in fact, you come to expect them!).

"There are two ways to live your life - one is as though nothing is a miracle, the other is as though everything is a miracle." —Albert Einstein

Your world is not separate from you; what's more it is malleable. Your heart and mind hold the keys to its mastery. What you believe to be real 'out there' are wavelengths of energy that correspond directly to your thoughts. It is you that determines what exists from the infinite field of possibility.
