10 Keys To Speed Up Your Manifesting Process

 

Every moment we are conscious, we are creating. Whether we accept it or not, we are always co-creating with the Universe. Our beliefs, attitudes, the actions we take, the lens through which we look at life—it is all part of the creation process. The movie The Secret made the word “manifesting” popular. Many people have achieved magnificent results by visualizing and using some of the techniques discussed in the movie. Yet, some express difficulty even visualizing a positive outcome from where they stand. I have been around both kinds of people. Shaped by my personal experiences and extensive research on manifesting, I was able to put together ten ideas that can help speed up your manifesting process. Plant these ideas in your mind and let them grow into giant trees of consciousness.

Here we go!

1. Give yourself permission to want what you want.

As far as I know, the Universe has not provided us with a rule book that dictates when we deserve to hope for a raise, to make more money or to have the relationship we want. I am pretty sure that such a rule book does not exist. We decide what we deserve. No one else does. So, if you want to open up a glass blowing studio in Costa Rica, don’t wait for someone to tell you that you deserve to want it. I don’t believe that we can be given such a huge capacity to feel and be told not to want. Desire is the reason we do anything. And that’s how we are designed to live.

2. Be really willing to receive.

You might think, “Duh! Of course I want to receive it. I am asking for it, aren’t I?” Truthfully, that does not mean that you are willing to receive it into your life, heart and body. Look for and challenge limiting beliefs that could prevent you from being open to receiving what you desire. One way to accomplish this is by taking your dream all the way to the end, watching a movie of its highest potential in your mind (visualizing yourself living/having it) and seeing how far you allow yourself go in your mind until you start feeling undeserving or uncomfortable. Then look into the “why” and work with that.

3. Be willing to doubt your doubts.

The truth is, the whole Universe is being managed while we are watching TV, shopping, making love and mowing the lawn. There are so many things in the Universe that work perfectly without us doing anything about it. We are not in charge of the weather, the sky, the oceans or earthquakes, yet we are gullible enough to not believe in miracles. The only limit is in our minds. Our conditioned, human minds. Just accepting this idea and reminding yourself of this fact will consistently help you wave away doubts.

4. Pick and choose who you share your dreams with.

There are people out there whose volunteer gig is dream-crushing. For whatever reason, they can’t go beyond their own conditioning of what can or cannot happen in life. If you are the kind of person who needs a lot of encouragement and gets easily affected by others’ negative comments, be very discretionary about who you share your goals, dreams and aspirations with, especially when they are in the gestation period. Protect the soil where you planted the seed for your dreams. Don’t let others’ hang ups about what is possible in life contaminate your vision.

5. Do your best to keep your vibration up.

Here is what’s real about life: we don’t feel happy all the time. Our emotional (vibrational) barometer doesn’t always point to Optimistic. Thankfully, there are many ways to raise your energy.

Giving ourselves and others compliments is a sure way to increase our vibration. If you are feeling low on happiness juice, compliment a mother for her baby’s cute outfit at the grocery store or visualize and appreciate a pet you adore. Develop a practice of stating good things that are true about you to yourself (even out loud), such as, “I love my toes. People love homemade lasagna. I am a good friend,” etc.

What if it is a rough day and everything seems to be going wrong? Then accept it! Allow yourself to feel as crappy as you already do. Really. The energy of acceptance is much higher than the energy of resistance.

6. Take inspired action.

When it comes to “doing something” to move your dream along, the golden rule is to take inspired (in-spirit-ed) action. Meaning, staying open and alert to messages you receive from the Universe and following that fluttery feeling towards action that feels right. That inspired action sometimes comes as an unexpected nudge to call up a friend from college, who used to be very active in fundraising for nonprofits (if you are looking to start a nonprofit organization, for example). It is nice to have a plan and by any means, utilize plans in any way you can. Just don’t rely solely on your mind to manifest goodness in your life. Your intuitive guidance, when you are open to hearing it, will move you faster than you might imagine.

7. Strive to rise above jealousy.

Feeling jealous of someone’s awesome relationship, promotion or their new beautiful home is natural and human, but the quicker you move past that, the better it is for your manifestation process. When we feel jealous, our energy is invested in the scarcity side of the abundance continuum. It is a lower energy to try to manifest with. If you can, think about how their happiness effects the positive vibration in the Universe. Find some good aspects of them having it. If it seems like they are doing your thing, see that person as someone paving the way for you while making their own mistakes. Learn from them; don’t hate them.

8. Use a mantra to deal with your current less-than-ideal situation.

Remember that the small apartment, the dysfunctional relationship or the physical ailment that might be active in your life right now have helped you give birth to new desires.  Now, while you are in it, use mantras to open up your consciousness to possibilities.  For instance, if you are at a job where you feel under-appreciated and inadequately compensated, instead of saying “I hate this job,” say, “I prefer to work at a job where my skills are verbally and financially rewarded.” This way, you get to acknowledge the discomfort, but build a more hopeful and open language around it.

9. Trust your soul’s path.

You are free to want what you want, and it does not make you less or more spiritual. Everyone’s goal is to be happy on their journey here. Is someone’s happy you’re happy? Some people want to have five kids and devote their life to their family. They are perfectly happy and fulfilled that way. Some people are destined to make a name for themselves by sharing who they are. We don’t know what anyone’s soul plan is and what they are here to learn.  Consider and even make peace with the idea that marrying a doctor or buying a summer house in the Hamptons may not be in your soul’s plan. Keep this in mind and still want what you want. Wanting something and being attached to it are not the same thing. Practice trusting the bigger plan.

10. Do your inner work.

Our core beliefs are like the gateway to our experience of life. Many beliefs are formed when we are too young to have the experience base to know or judge if those beliefs are facts. We didn’t have a choice in the matter as we were growing up. But now as adults, we have the power to upgrade our belief system, and thus, change our lives for the better. Look for outdated, limiting beliefs in an area of life where you could use an upgrade. Pay attention to your judgments. Especially about things like happy couples, rich people, skinny women, etc. Your awareness of your judgments will lead you to what your subconscious is holding. Challenge and clear up these outdated beliefs that you find.

We all deserve to feel good and manifest good things that make our path easier, smoother and more enjoyable. We are here to co-create with the Universe. We cannot control everything, but we can develop new perspectives that help the process to move along faster.

Happy manifesting!

You probably already know that the Law of Attraction holds a lot of power. Your intentions and core beliefs play a vital role in determining the outcomes of your life. If you want to achieve success now, you can!

When you concentrate on the positive, your life will be positive. It sounds simple enough, but many times people let negative emotions get the better of them.
You have the power within you to break those negative habits. Once the negativity is gone, you can speed up the whole process of dream achievement.
Try using the following ways to speed up your Law of Attraction results:
1. Feel strong emotions in your visualizations.When you visualize the results you want, put your whole heart into the process. If you go after something half-heartedly, whether physically or through visualizations, your results are half-hearted also.
Feel the happiness in living the life you dream, the pride in your achievements that got you there, and the pure joy of success.
2. Focus on the present.See yourself successful in the present rather than the future. If you keep thinking about the good things that are coming tomorrow, they’ll never be here today! Take full advantage of today to do what you can to achieve your dreams. Even small steps add up to big achievements.
3. Use vision boards effectively.Whenever you see these pictures, let the positive emotions of your meditations sweep over you. Thoroughly enjoy them in the present moment. Take time to feel your emotions without holding anything back.
4. Exhibit the qualities of your dream life.Determine the qualities of your dream life and exemplify them today. For example, in your dreams, you may be confident and generous toward others. Show confidence and generosity now instead of waiting until after you’re successful, because showing them will, in fact, make them arrive sooner.
5. Keep your thoughts positive.Thinking positively allows you to bring on a mindset of gratitude and abundance. Recognize when your mind starts to shift to negative thoughts and do whatever it takes to correct the problem.
Focus on positive affirmations or self-talk to replace the negative thoughts as soon as they occur.
6. Avoid dwelling on any negative situation.The power of thought can alter any situation. Focusing on the negative attracts more negative back to you. Alternatively, focusing on the positive is more likely to result in positive outcomes. So whenever a challenge arises, seek a solution and take action to overcome it rather than wallowing in self-pity.
7. Be as clear as you can.Strive for the utmost clarity when focusing on your dreams, as every detail makes it more real to you. This will allow you to give all of your positive energy to your thoughts as you visualize.
8. Believe in the process.Your belief in the process of the Law of Attraction is vital to your success. You might strive for complete positivity, but if you have doubts about the outcome deep down, then you’ll still allow negative thoughts to influence you. You have to believe in the process because anything that’s possible can happen for you with the right mindset.
9. Be open to receive.Are you ready to receive the results you desire? For example, if you wish for a new love, do you have room for them in your life? If you remain open to the universe, it will send back what you desire most in the world.
The Law of Attraction entails a lot more than just sitting around thinking about what you want. The key element isinspired action. When you believe you can achieve, you’ll naturally take action to get what you want. And this is where it all comes together. When your mind and your actions are in harmony, nothing can stop you!

16 IDEAS FOR RAISING YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS

Some days feel quite ordinary. Other days become lifelong memories because they are truly extraordinary. What is the difference between the ordinary and the extraordinary? For many people, it is the ability to raise their consciousness to higher levels.

Here’s some good news: you can raise your consciousness to experience extraordinary days every day. With these steps, the ordinary, boring days will fade away and become no more.

1. FIND A LITTLE TIME TO BEGIN MEDITATION.

 

When you meditate, you’re creating an environment where you must raise your consciousness. At the start, this can be an uncomfortable experience because there are a lot of factors that will fight you. Your ego may get in the way or the worries of the day may try to flood your mind. Don’t get frustrated. Just allow these thoughts and feelings to ebb and flow like river rapids and pretty soon you’ll come out on the other side.

2. GIVE YOURSELF A PLAN TO FOLLOW.

One of the biggest reasons why 3 out of 4 New Year’s Resolutions fail within 30 days is because there is no plan to follow. The same could be said about the intention to raise your own consciousness. To give yourself a true chance to achieve the extraordinary, outline the plans you intend to take to achieve your goal. The desire to change is good. The outline that will help you achieve change is better.

3. CONNECT YOUR DREAMS TO YOUR REALITY.

Lucid dreaming is one of the most important tools that is in your toolbox to raise your consciousness. By taking control of a dream, you can begin to process those thoughts that hold you back from achieving a true level of higher consciousness. It may take some time and practice to achieve such a dream, but stick with it. The benefits are truly worth it.

4. EXERCISE YOUR MIND DAILY.

Your brain might be considered an organ, but many of its functions are similar to your muscle tissues. In particular, if you exercise your mind daily by trying to solve complex problems or play challenging games, then the responses of your mind become quicker. Your willpower becomes stronger. Your consciousness? It becomes higher.

5. TAKE A PERSONAL INVENTORY.

If you don’t know what it is that is holding you back during an ordinary day, then all of the good intentions to change that currently exist are worthless. You must be able to identify what has got you stuck in a rut and the only way that can happen is by taking a personal inventory. What do you like about yourself? What do you think is holding you back? Make a list of pros and cons and then start shoring up the weaknesses on that cons list.

6. PERFECTLY PRACTICE ACHIEVING A HIGHER LEVEL OF CONSCIOUSNESS EVERY DAY.

Simple practice is not enough to help you raise your consciousness. You need a perfect level of practice to bring your consciousness up from the ordinary levels that you wish to change. How can you achieve perfect practice? By implementing an increased awareness in every facet of your life. Even when you’re paying the bills, you can ask questions about your usage patterns of electricity to encourage a stronger consciousness foundation.

7. STOP LOOKING IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR.

The biggest mistake that we all tend to make is allowing the choices of the past to define us. We keep living in constant misery because we look at the choices and consequences of the past and allow those negative experiences to create an internal trigger. That trigger weighs on the soul and causes it to never seek out anything extraordinary. Change your focus by looking forward. Make choices that will lead you forward another step. Even on those backward steps, don’t turn around. Keep focused on the prize of raising your consciousness and your journey will lead you home.

8. KEEP AN OPEN MIND.

Some of the biggest obstacles that we all face in achieving a higher level of consciousness are the ones that we place in our own way. Without an open mind to the ability to shift a focus and change, the ordinary days will stick around and make life sail by and feel like it has no meaning. Allow yourself to explore new things, become someone new, or even just stay in a positive mindset. If you don’t allow this, then you won’t achieve a raised level of consciousness. It really is that simple. 

9. ACT WITH COMPASSION INSTEAD OF PRACTICING COMPASSION.

Some of the finest moments in life occur when one person takes a risk and puts the needs of someone else first. It doesn’t have to be a viral story of compassion to help you raise your consciousness. It can be a simple act of kindness. It’s why I always carry a little cash with me wherever I go. You never know who you might encounter that may need that money to meet simple, basic needs. Take action to do so. Intending to be compassionate is just practice and ultimately doesn’t amount to anything.

10. FOLLOW THE CONCEPTS OF ACTIVE LISTENING.

How many times have you anticipated being able to share a fact or personal opinion that it caused you to stop listening? Maybe you interrupted the person who was speaking because you had to share your thought first? A higher level of consciousness doesn’t come from the forming of a personal opinion. It comes from hearing what the experiences and opinions of others are, finding the good in those, and then choosing to incorporate the best of what you’ve just heard into your own life. In order to do that, you must actively listen by hearing first and speaking second.

11. ELIMINATE THE NEGATIVE WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

Certain negative experiences cause us to stay safe. Burning your hand on a hot saucepan handle, for example, will cause you to hopefully remember to use a hot pad or a towel the next time you grab that handle. It might seem like this is a higher level of consciousness in action, but it is just self-preservation in action. Negative thoughts keep lives ordinary. Finding the positive in all things and rejoicing in those good things? That’s where extraordinary days begin.

12. KEEP A HIGH ENERGY LEVEL WHENEVER POSSIBLE.

High energy levels allow for a greater level of focus. That’s why we all tend to get more work done in the morning than in the afternoon. If you can pace yourself to maintain a high energy level throughout the day, without the use of stimulants like the caffeine in coffee, then you’ll be taking those extra steps that will allow you to raise your consciousness and maintain your focus in anything.

13. STAY AWAY FROM THE JUNK FOOD.

Having a snack isn’t a bad thing, especially when you’re hungry. When you’re constantly choosing to eat high caloric foods that don’t really fill you up, however, then your fuel is not going to be consistent with the output that you’re requiring. If you are feeling bogged down during the day, then try choosing healthier snacks that can boost your brain power. Nothing creates more boredom than the desire to just get through a day because you’re feeling miserable.

14. DON’T BE AFRAID TO STEP IN SO THAT YOU CAN RESOLVE A CONFLICT BEFORE IT EXPLODES.

We often think of mediation as the ability to find a compromise between two people on opposite ends of a subject spectrum. We don’t often think of mediation that happens within the confines of our own minds, but it is an important skill to have. Many conflicts can occur because of spirituality preferences, professional requirements, and personal responsibilities. Step into that fray and find a resolution that will satisfy all of your needs as quickly as possible and you’ll have crossed another hurdle toward achieving a higher level of consciousness.

15. EXPLORE THE CONCEPTS OF MINDFULNESS THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

When was the last time you actually savored a meal that was placed before you? If the sun was shining this morning, did you pause a moment or two to enjoy the feeling of warmth on your face? What about the touch of the wall that is closest to you right now? Being aware of the fine details of your surroundings by engaging all of your senses is one of the easiest ways to raise your consciousness.

16. STOP GOING SO FAST.

The demands of the modern lifestyle require most of us to be rather busy. It’s fine to be busy, but there is no purpose to that busyness if there isn’t a willingness to slow down when it is appropriate. Do you really need to get to the grocery store 45 seconds sooner than the person driving 5 mph slower than the speed limit? Or could you take that slower speed, invest 45 seconds, and appreciate something that is going on around you? When the tunnel vision of speed is removed from life, the pictures that are seen are truly amazing.

Raising your consciousness isn’t always easy, but these 16 steps will give you a good start on the process. Take the first step of your journey today and you will not be disappointed with the results that you will see over the coming days.

The Secret Behind The Numbers 3, 6, and 9 Is Finally REVEALED!

Nikola Tesla did countless mysterious experiments, but he was a whole other mystery on his own. Almost all genius minds have a certain obsession. Nikola Tesla had a pretty big one! 

He was walking around a block repeatedly for three times before entering a building, he would clean his plates with 18 napkins, he lived in hotel rooms only with a number devisable by 3. He would make calculations about things in his immediate environment to make sure the result is devisable by 3 and base his choices upon the results. He would do everything in sets of 3.

 

Some say he had OCD, some say he was very superstitious. 

However, the truth is a lot deeper.

“If you knew the magnificence of the three, six and nine, you would have a key to the universe.” – Nikola Tesla

His obsession was not simply with numbers, but especially with these numbers: 3, 6, 9!

He did have an extreme case of OCD and he was superstitious, however, he chose those numbers for a reason.

Tesla claimed that these numbers were extremely important. Nobody listened.

He even calculated nodal points around the planet linked to the numbers three, six and nine!

But why these numbers?

WHAT DID NIKOLA TESLA TRIED TO MAKE THE WORLD UNDERSTAND?

NOTE: Things will get a lot stranger below!

First, we must understand that we didn’t create math, we discovered it. It’s The Universal language and law. No matter where you are in The Universe 1 + 2 will always equal to 3! Everything in The Universe obeys this law!

There are patterns that naturally occur in The Universe, patterns we’ve discovered in life, galaxies, star formations, evolution, and almost all natural systems. Some of these patterns are The Golden Ratio and Sacred Geometry.

One really important system that nature seems to obey is “The Powers of 2 Binary System” in which the pattern start from one and continues by doubling the numbers. Cells and embryos develop following this sacred pattern: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256…

 

Some call these patterns The Blueprint of God.

Math, by this analogy, would be God’s Thumbprint. (leaving all religion aside!)

In vortex math (the science of torus anatomy) there is a pattern that repeats itself: 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, and 5, and so on 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1, 2, 4…

As you can see 3, 6, and 9 are not in this pattern. Scientist Marko Rodin believes these numbers represent a vector from the third to fourth dimension which he calls a “flux field.”  This field is supposed to be a higher dimensional energy that influences the energy circuit of the other six points.

Randy Powell, a student of Marko Rodin says that this is the secret key to free energy, something which we all know Tesla mastered.

 

LET ME EXPLAIN!

Let’s start from 1, doubled it is 2; 2 doubled is 4; 4 doubled is 8; 8 doubled is 16 which means 1 + 6 and that equals to 7; 16 doubled is 32 resulting in 3 + 2 equals 5 (you can do 7 doubled if you want to which you would get 14 resulting in 5); 32 doubled is 64 (5 doubled is 10) resulting in total of 1; If we continue we will keep following the same pattern: 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1, 2…

If we start from 1 in reverse we will still get the same pattern only in reverse: Half of one is 0.5 (0+5) equaling 5. Half of 5 is 2.5 (2+5) equaling 7, and so on.

As you can see there is no mention of 3, 6, and 9! It’s like they are beyond this pattern, free from it.

However, there is something strange once you start doubling them. 3 doubled is 6; 6 doubled is 12 which would result in 3; in this pattern there is no mention of 9! It’s like 9 is beyond, completely free from both patterns.

But if you start doubling 9 it will always result in 9: 18, 36, 72, 144, 288, 576…

THIS IS CALLED THE SYMBOL OF ENLIGHTENMENT!

If we go to the Great Pyramid of Giza, not only are there the three larger pyramids at Giza, all side by side, mirroring the positions of the stars in Orion’s Belt, but we also see a group of three smaller pyramids immediately away from the three larger pyramids.

 

We find lots of evidence that nature uses threefold and sixfold symmetry, including the hexagonal tile shape of the common honeycomb.

These shapes are in nature, and the ancients emulated these shapes in the building of their sacred architecture.

Is it possible that there is something special about the mysterious number three? is it possible that Tesla uncovered this profound secret and used this knowledge to push the boundaries of science and technology?

THE MAGNIFICENCE OF 9!

 

 

Let’s say there are 2 opposites, call them light and dark if you want to. They are like the North and the South poles of a magnet.

One side is 1, 2, and 4; the other side is 8, 7 and 5; Just like electricity, everything in The Universe is a stream between these 2 polar sides, like a swinging pendulum: 1, 2, 4, 8, 7, 5, 1, 2… (and if you imagine the movement it’s something like the symbol for infinity)

However, these 2 sides are governed by 3 and 6; 3 governs 1, 2, and 4 while 6 governs 8, 7, and 5; and if you look the pattern closely it gets even more mindboggling: 1 and 2 equals 3; 2 and 4 equals 6; 4 and 8 equals 3; 8 and 7 equals 6; 7 and 5 equals 3; 5 and 1 equals 6; 1 and 2 equals 3…

The same pattern on a higher scale is actually 3, 6, 3, 6, 3, 6…

But even these two sides, 3 and 6 are governed by 9 which shows something spectacular.

Looking closely at the pattern of 3 and 6 you realize that 3 and 6 equals 9, 6 and 3 equals 9, all the numbers together equal 9, both ways excluding and including 3 and 6!

So 9 means unity of the both sides. 9 is The Universe itself!

The vibration, the energy and the frequency!

3,6 and 9!

 

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

There is a deeper philosophical truth in this!

Just imagine what we can accomplish if we apply this sacred knowledge in everyday science…

“The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.” ― Nikola Tesla

No disease including cancer can exist in an alkaline Enviroment

Your Body is Acidic. Here is What You Need to Do (The Real Truth behind Cancer that You Will Never Hear from Your Doctor):

The real cause of cancer has been found long ago, by the Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Otto Warburg. Namely, he has discovered that the major reason for the incidence of all cancer types is, in fact, oxygen insufficiency.

This means that if the body lacks oxygen, the organism will become acidic and this will speed up the development of cancer.

Nobel prize Winner Dr. Otto H Warburg, who discovered the real cause of cancer, has found that the root cause of cancer is oxygen deficiency. Oxygen deficiency leads to an acidic state in the human body. Dr. Warburg also found that cancer cells are anaerobic (do not breathe oxygen) and cannot survive in the presence of high levels of oxygen, as found in an alkaline state.

“All normal cells have an absolute requirement for oxygen, but cancer cells can live without oxygen – a rule without exception. Deprive a cell 35% of its oxygen for 48 hours and it may become cancerous.”

Our diet plays a vital role in maintaining proper pH levels in the body. PH balance is the balance of acid and alkaline in all fluids and cells throughout your body. Your body must balance the blood’s pH levels at a slightly alkaline level of 7.365 in order to survive. Unfortunately, the typical American diet consists primarily of toxic and acid-forming foods like processed sugars, refined grains, genetically modified organisms, and etc. This leads to unhealthy acidic pH.

An imbalanced pH can interrupt cellular activities and functions. Excessively acidic pH can lead to many serious health problems such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and heartburn.

Moreover, it the levels of the pH slope to the acidic side, they will lead t numerous health issues, ailments, and diseases, from heartburn and osteoporosis to diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer. Furthermore, if this state of the body lasts for a longer period of time, it will accelerate the aging process as well.

In his book “The pH Miracle”,   Robert O. Young also claims that the main culprit for the incidence of numerous diseases is, in fact, the acidic state of the body.

Namely, all kinds of dangerous organisms that destroy our health, such as bad bacteria, viruses, parasites, or Candida survive and multiply in an acidic state, but cannot thrive in an alkaline environment.

Therefore, in order to prevent health issues and preserve your health, you need to take some measures and maintain the alkaline state of your body and the balance of pH levels.

Today, we will offer you a fantastic natural remedy for acidity that will help you eliminate all health threats:

 

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons of organic apple cider vinegar or lemon juice
• 1/3 teaspoon baking soda

Method of preparation:

You need to mix the ingredients until the mixture begins to fizz. Keep adding baking soda until the fizzing stops. Next, pour the mixture into a glass of water. (8oz.)

Use:

Drink the prepared remedy all at once. You will immediately feel its beneficial effect, especially in the case of a stomach acid or acidosis.

This incredibly effective natural remedy will create an alkaline state of your body by neutralization of the pH levels, and will thus help you prevent all kinds of diseases, including cancer.

Doers and Dreamers

"Failure's hard, but success is far more dangerous. If you're successful at the wrong thing, the mix of praise and money and opportunity can lock you in forever." Po Bronson

How often do we find ourselves sacrificing and putting off our own dreams to make others’ possible? Why must our passions remain hobbies while others’ are dustless and well-oiled realities? These thoughts I entertain often, for I am a dreamer. I, certainly, do not subscribe to the group who says there are two types of people, however. These two groups, of course, are made up of doers and dreamers. Dreamers would not be dreamers without doers and so forth. But who’s to say where to draw the line, that is, if one must create yet another construct, classification, or division.

My siding (there we go again) is that many often dream while doing and do while dreaming. This, of course, would include the many individuals who have “fallen into” something or feel they have otherwise “settled,” at least that is how they feel inside—a dialogue with their repression, angst, and denial. Self is important in this respect but not to the extent where we are unable to step outside ourselves to consider the reality we may, or may not, feel a part of. Many focus on asking themselves, “What about me?” instead of promoting the search for self and identity in questioning, “Who am I?”

 

In any case, if one group was to consider the other group as, say, “dreamers” than would that group be labeled, by default, the doers? And, would these dreamers be considered selfish because they feel they are more in tune with their self and identity? Are doers, then, worried about themselves and thereby take certain paths of actions that enable them to do instead of dream? Who knows where the sure route leads. Who’s to say that one is correct and the other flawed.

Peering into contemporary times with a careful perspective, I would not necessarily assert that celebrities and media sensations have replaced the bards, artists, and thespians of the past. Nor would I assume that the gladiators of great Roman times are now the professional athletes of today’s stadiums. But, if either were true, it would not be hard to see that the doers of history were very much dreamers. They say that the annals of history rarely record the lives and works of so-called dreamers and those who chose to stand-by—but I wouldn’t be too sure of that.

Why I can't sleep?

He looks to his pocket
to quench his malnourished blood
and what little pride is left,
after hours of panhandling change
with an empty coffee cup.

Looking to his pocket

he finds only a hole

and remembers the day
at CVS when he shoved

some marker
into his pocket with haste
as not to be seen
and didn't realize

he ripped its seam.

All of this absent

on the cardboard sign

he wears that reads "EXIT"

without the word.

 

Why I can't sleep

I think it's just because
I want and need to be
with you, my friend.
You're all I think about,
see, feel and hope to hold and touch.
Such a large part of my life,
you've become,
that my body has come to need
you
to be sufficient.
You simply make me
who I am
and have tremendously aided
me
to become the person
I am,
which will in turn,
somehow,
enable me to be
this person
I've never been in a hurry
to become.
I'm finally here
and things are going well;
so I'm excited, anxious and overwhelmed,
for once,
about the positive possibilities,
about our lives, together--
my life with you.
So when you tell me to
spray lavender,
drink chamomile tea
or warm milk
(forget counting sheep)--
know that it's with
only you
that I
can soundly
rest,
if not sleep
to dream,
to wake beside,
to watch us grow,
to believe and read
our two stories
in one
together.

P.S. You're the reason I smile.

Sasa ni marufuku wanafunzi kupigwa viboko Zimbabwe

Mahakama ya Zimbabwe imepiga marufuku adhabu ya kuwachapa watoto shuleni na hata nyumbani .

Uamuzi huo unajiri baada ya mzazi mmoja kulalamika kwamba mwanawe katika darasa la kwanza alikuwa na majeraha mabaya baada ya kuchapwa na mwalimu.
Linah Pfungwah alisema kuwa mwanawe aliadhibiwa kwa kushindwa kutoa kitabu chake kwa wazazi kutiwa saini kama thibitisho la kwamba alifanya kazi yake ya shule.
Mahakama ya katiba inatarajiwa kuthibitisha uamuzi huo.


Mwandishi wa BBC Shingai Nyoka katika mji mkuu wa Harare anasema kuwa iwapo uamuzi huo utathibitishwa utabadilisha vile wazazi wanavyowaadhibu wanawao kwa karne kadhaa katika taifa hilo la Afrika ya kusini.

Utafiti: Ndovu ndio mnyama anayelala kwa muda mfupi zaidi duniani

 

Wanasayansi waliowafuatilia ndovu wawili nchini Botswana wamebaini kuwa wanyama hao hulala muda mfupi zaidi ya mnyama mwengine yeyote duniani.

Ndovu hulala kwa saa mbili pekee hususan nyakati za usiku.
Wakiwa katika hifadhi, ndovu hulala kati ya masaa manne hadi sita kwa siku.
Ndovu hao wote wakiwa viongozi wa familia zao mara nyengine husalia macho kwa siku kadhaa na huonekana wakifunga macho ama kuota mara moja kila siku tatu ama hata nne.
Haijulikani kwa nini wanyama hao walio na uwezo mkubwa wa kukumbuka vitu wanaweza kuishi kwa kulala kwa muda mfupi licha ya usingizi kuwa na muhimu mkubwa katika ubongo .

Je, wajua kuwa usingizi husababisha ugonjwa wa kunenepa?

Kulala kwa masaa mengi au kwa muda mfupi vinaweza kuchangia mtu kunenepa kupita kiasi

Utafiti umegundua kuwa usingizi usio mzuri unaweka mtu kwenye hatari ya kunenepa kupita kiasi kwa watu walio na maumbile ya kunenepa.
Hali hiyo ilishuhudiwa licha ya mtu kupata mankuli yanayostahili na kuwa na afya nzuri.
Watafiti waliangalia athari za kulala chini ya saa 7 kwa usiku na kulala masaa mengi zaidi, kama masaa tisa na hata kulala saa za mchana.
Waligundua kuwa watu wenye miili ya kunenepa , kulala kwa muda mfupi au masaa mengi, vyote vinachangia mtu kunenepa, ikilinganishwa na watu wanaolala muda unaotakikana wa kati ya masaa saba na nane.
Wanaolala masaa mengi na walio na miili ya kunenepa wanaweza kuwa na uzito wa kilo 4 zaidi, huku wale wanaolala muda mfupi wakipata uzito wa kilo 2 zaidi.
Takwimu hizo zilionyesha kuwa walio na jeni za kunenepa na wanaolala saa chache au saa nyingi, ambao hulala mchana na wakati wa mapumziko kazini, walionekana kuwa na athari kwa uzito wa miili yao.
