21.01.2022 Such a helpful reminder for this day and EVERY day :-) "I started stumbling upon more and more studies that were pointing in a very different direction, that actually diet and exercise are not as important and there are other things, the so-called 'soft drivers' of longevity, so empathy, kindness, relationships, that may matter even more than nutrition and exercise to how healthy we are. So I got really intrigued and I started investigating this more, and so after reading ov...er 600 research papers and talking to dozens of scientists, I did completely change my outlook on what is the most important thing to stay healthy, and now I know it's not necessarily the way we approach diet and exercise, but actually exactly social relationships and how we live our life emotionally and socially."

18.01.2022 The academic merit to mantra and chanting! It increases your telomere length, preventing the ageing process, reversing the effects of long term stress. According to Bessel Van Der Kolk, singing, moving and dancing together can create a sense of safety and belonging that make it possible for people to confront their trauma.... The Boston Trauma Center director also believes in the healing power of community, rhythm and touch, a realisation he came to while working with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission in South Africa. The whole issue of self-regulation, calming your brain down and helping your brain to be focused in the present is central,’ he says. Mantra meditation moves us in mysterious ways.

15.01.2022 It has been 5 weeks since I dis-engaged from the daily humdrum of the computer and social media. I switched off my phone almost daily and respected long periods of quiet, still awareness. We travelled along the East Coast and snorkeled with Turtles, saw Starfish, Manta Ray’s and a plethora of reef fish, amidst the most beautiful ocean waters I have ever seen. Shockingly, on the most beautiful and secluded beaches we saw along the way, we found huge amounts of plastic debri...s and waste. It was troubling, to say the least. As humans, we are the greatest predator to turtles with our plastic bags and waste. Unfortunately, it is estimated that only 1 in 1,000 young turtles will survive to adulthood. Not even our beautiful National Parks are immune to this waste, and without our help cannot sustain the pristine environment our wildlife deserves. Quietly together, we spent time collecting a variety of plastic: bottle caps, bags, old shoes, thongs, boat debris and even a broom. It felt fulfilling, knowing we left the beach better than we found it. It occurred to me how wonderful it would be one day to run a silent meditation retreat on our secluded coastlines, silent and mindfully picking up plastic, and appreciating some of the most beautiful beaches on the planet, The Dadirri Way!

Bound to be brilliant Undergraduate or postgraduate training Learn more: https://biyome.com.au/course-pages/200kytt/... You Are The Medicine.... Cure yourself, with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds. Heal yourself, with the mint and mint leaves, with neem and eucalyptus. Sweeten yourself with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile. Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a touch of cinnamon. Put love in tea instead of sugar and take it looking at the stars. Heal yourself, with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain. Get strong with bare feet on the ground and with everything that is born from it. Get smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with the eye of your forehead. Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier. Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember you are the medicine. ~Maria Sabina Mexican curandera and poet.

07.01.2022 Flaxseeds or Linseeds can change your biome! And could be a better alternative to fish oil... I soak them overnight and blend into a smoothie in the morning. Then you get the #Omegas, the #fibre, and that sprouted back to life feeling Dr George Jelinek that mentions flax oil and flaxseed (ground!) as a better alternative to fish oil in his interview here on the GP show... https://thegpshow.libsyn.com/overcoming-multiple-sclerosis-... More on Flaxseeds/Linseeds: *Flaxseeds are high in polyphenols which effect mood positively (like cloves, star anise, dark chocolate, even coffee!) *Specific plant fibres such as flaxseeds can act as a prebiotic, which promote healthy changes to your microbiome. *The fibre in flaxseeds promotes healthy gut bacteria, promotes regular bowel movements.
