ARTArticlePay AttentionFrom moment to moment, the flows of thoughts and feelings, sensations and desires, and conscious and unconscious processes sculpt your nervous system like water, gradually carving furrows and eventually gullies on a hillside. Your brain is continually changing its structure. The only question is: Is it for better or worse?ARTArticlePet the LizardI've always liked lizards. Growing up in the outskirts of Los Angeles, I played in the foothills near our home. Sometimes I'd catch a lizard and stroke its belly, so it would relax in my hands, seeming to feel at ease.ARTArticleReceive Faces[Note: this practice involves our visual system, which for many people is impaired. If this is the case for you, you could adapt my suggestions to focus on the voices of others or a sense of their “energy.”]ARTArticleRelax, You've ArrivedWe spend so much of our time trying to get somewhere. Part of this comes from our biological nature. To survive, animals – including us – have to be goal-directed, leaning into the future. It’s certainly healthy to pursue wholesome aims, like paying the rent on time, raising children well, healing old pain, or improving education. But it’s also important to see how this focus on the future – on endless striving, on getting the next task done, on climbing the next mountain – can get confused and stressful. It’s confusing because of the brain:ARTArticleRemember the Big ThingsIn every life, reminders arrive about what's really important. I’ve received some myself, as I’m sure you have, too. Perhaps it was news of a potentially serious health problem, the death of a loved one, or an accident that could have turned fatal. These are uncomfortably concrete messages that, sooner or later, something will catch up with each one of us.ARTArticleRestThis practice is definitely a case of teaching what you need to learn: I've been working through a big bucket of tasks lately with little chance to rest. (I console myself knowing that the bucket is emptying a lot faster than it's filling with new tasks.)ARTArticleRest Your Weary HeadThe traditional saying that's this week's practice has been sinking in for me lately. Thoughts have been swirling around like a sandstorm about work, things I've been reading, household tasks, finances, conce s about people, a yard that needs mowing, loose ends, projects, etc. etc. The other day I told my wife: "I'm thinking about too many things." Know the feeling?ARTArticleSee Beings Not BodiesWhen we encounter someone, usually the mind automatically slots the person into a category: older, younger, your friend Tom, the kid next door, etc. Watch this happen in your own mind as you meet or talk with a co-worker, sales clerk, or family member. In effect, the mind summarizes and simplifies tons of details into a single thing - a human thing, to be sure, but one with an umbrella label that makes it easy to know how to act. For example: "Oh, that's my boss (or mother-in-law, or boyfriend, or traffic cop, or waiter) . . . and now I know what to do. Good."ARTArticleSee Your PartIn situations or relationships with any kind of difficulty – tension, feeling hurt, conflicts, mismatches of wants . . . the usual crud – it’s natural to focus on what others have done that’s problematic. This could be useful for a while: it can energize you, highlight what you most care about, and help you see more clearly what you’d like others to change.ARTArticleStep Into the CloudI had a lightbulb moment recently: I was feeling stressed about all the stuff I had to do (you probably know the feeling). After this went on for a while, I stepped back and kind of watched my mind, and could see that I was thinking of these various tasks as things, like big rocks that were rolling down a hill toward me and which needed to be handled, lifted, moved, fended off, or broken into pebbles.ARTArticleUnderstanding Self-Harm & Tips for Talking to Someone About Self-HarmThe sensations surged up from deep inside, like a geyser about to blow: a mix of sadness, anxiety, and shame that would overwhelm anyone, especially teenagers. “I took out the blade from a pencil sharpener and cut myself”, a secondary school student told me. “I didn’t know if it would help. I just knew that it was something people did at my school. I remember feeling out of control and this gave me the control back.” She felt relief as the behaviour served to dissolve her emotional distress. “I would do it for 5 to 10 minutes and afterwards feel calm and relaxed.”ARTArticleMoving past anger and anxiety based life stylesWhen I was a younger person, anger and anxiety were my "best friends". I never went anywhere without them. I did not like how they felt but I also did not like the feeling of being without them because they had become so familiar. It was almost like a void if they weren't present. My nervous sytem is very sensitive, so it was constantly in a state of overdrive. I lost my temper easily and could not function very well in a situation that required focus.ARTArticleSays ThanksWhat do you feel when someone thanks you for something? For a comment in a meeting, a task done at home, an extra step taken, or an encouraging word. You probably feel seen, and appreciated, and that you matter to the other person. Maybe a little startled, maybe wondering if you really deserve it, but also glad. Personally, this is how it is for me.ARTArticleSee the Person Behind the EyesMost of us wear a kind of mask, a persona that hides our deepest thoughts and feelings and presents a polished, controlled face to the world. To be sure, a persona is a good thing to have. For example, meetings at work, holidays with the in-laws, or a first date are usually not the best time to spill your guts. Just because you're selective about what you reveal to the world does not mean you're insincere; phoniness is only when we lie about what's really going on inside.ARTArticleLove What Is RealBecause this practice could seem so abstract or so obvious that it’s not worth doing, I am going to take longer than usual to explain why it’s so important.ARTArticle***Values in Recovery - Part 1Understanding the Role of Values Values are intended to help you lay a solid foundation for permanent change. This three part series is focused on the single most important aspect of your recovery: your values. Specifically, your ability to recognize, develop and use your values in practical ways. Values: What Are They?ARTArticleBreath & Love: A Different Kind of IntoxicationThe word intoxication often gets associated with substance use. Even though some people do experience a physical high through drinking or drug use, such behaviors have nothing to do with the real desire of the soul for elevation. There is a different kind of intoxication that comes from certain body-mind practices. Such practice draws breath and love together with the intention of a journey into the heart, which is into an inner place you can call “home.”ARTArticleDaughters In The LoveI feel it is an honor and a privilege to have a daughter or more. The more the better (within reason) to adore! As a mother of two daughters, I recollect and reflect on happiness. I try not to think about having to clean their rooms from an unkept mess. Fond is the memory of each one’s birth as their toes were counted from one to ten. Visitors were ward off from coming too close, like an anxious mother hen. Long were the nights kept rocking and nursing at regular intervals, too. Try not to remember those sleepless nights that made us blue.ARTArticleEnjoy Four Kinds of Peace“Peace” can sound merely sentimental or clichéd (“visualize whirled peas”). But deep down, it’s what most of us long for. Consider the proverb: The highest happiness is peace. Not a peace inside that ignores pain in oneself or others or is acquired by shutting down. This is a durable peace, a peace you can come home to even if it’s been covered over by fear, frustration, or heartache.ARTArticleFederal Judge Asked to Order Medical Apparel Maker Figs to Stop False Marketing, According to RivalFederal Judge Asked to Order Medical Apparel Maker Figs to Stop False Marketing, According to Rivalr Medical apparel maker Figs is using false marketing claims to spark sales and should be halted from misleading the public with those efforts, a rival claimed. The rival has asked a federal judge in Los Angeles to order Figs to stop making the claims – and alert the public that they are false. The alleged marketing snafu is the second time in two months Figs’ marketing efforts have been attacked.r ARTArticleLiving Aligned to Your Personal Values, Creates Intentional Decisions & an Abundance of Inner WealthA couple of days ago, a friend got in touch for some advice, and we met up. He stated to me, “I’m not sure what to do about a new career, because what I’m currently doing just isn’t working for me anymore, I’m not getting anything from it!” To which I replied, “If you’re not getting anything from it anymore, then what is it that you do want?” He looked at me bemused and said, “I’m not sure, I suppose I want that sense of achievement, satisfaction and success again”. To which I then replied, “How do you define success?”ARTArticleMeditateMeditation is to the mind what aerobic exercise is to the body. Like exercise, there are many good ways to do it, and you can find the one that suits you best.ARTArticleWater Your Fruit TreeMy wife and kids tease me that the title of this practice is corny - and it is. Still, I like it. If you don't nourish the things that nourish you, they wither away like a plant in dry stony ground. Looking to the year ahead for you - a year that can begin whenever you want - what's one key thing that will bear lots of fruit for you if you take care of it?ARTArticleWhy Cleanroom Solutions for Medical Facilities?If you are just wondering as to why one needs medical cleanroom solutions, this is the guide that will have the best coverage of the context in the most proficient manner. Therefore, the question is – Are you right now working in the medical facility? Do you have just to deal with the medicinal processes and equipment to fine-line and well-tone the optimization of medicine productions?

To ensure that these objectives are achieved, it is important to evaluate emerging technologies in a timely manner and apply them in the work environment so that the required investments deliver optimal returns and competitive advantage.ARTArticle10 female inventors that you should definitely knowWe've all heard of famous inventors such as Galileo (the telescope), Karl Benz (the automobile), Alexander Graham Bell (the phone) and Benjamin Franklin (bifocal glasses), but do you also know who Grace Hopper and Stephanie Kwolek were?ARTArticle10 Inventions by Women Who Have Changed Your LifeYou owe the following ten inventions, which have changed the world on a small or large scale, to a woman. Some of these 'female finds' will no doubt surprise you. Did you know that a woman invented the wiper? And the bulletproof vest? Also, the basis for wireless internet, with which you may be reading this article at the moment, was laid by a woman. 1. The circular saw .ARTArticle5 important women in the history of technologyWhen you say technology, IT, and inventions, the first person you think of is probably a man. While this is justified, it doesn't mean that our long history has not known some of the female inventors who turned the world upside down.ARTArticle5 LIFE-CHANGING HEALTH BENEFITS OF CBD FOR SENIORSAs we age, our body deteriorates as well. When you reach the age of 60, it can be hard staying on top of our health. That’s why seniors are prescribed more medications than younger people. In fact, 54 per cent of adults aged 65 and above take at least four prescription drugs. However, our body’s organs also deteriorate in terms of functionality. Consequently, this makes it hard for the body to break down the medications, causing some of them to stay in the body longer. In turn, this can cause adverse effects.ARTArticle5 sustainable inventions that are going to change the worldWill there soon be enough energy, water and food for everyone? More and more people are joining in and the earth is warming up. How can we do that? Perhaps with these 5 fantastic, sustainable inventions. 1. Vertical agriculture The earth becomes fuller and fuller. All those people have to eat, but do we still have enough agricultural land for that in the future? One of the solutions for lack of space is 'vertical farming'. A kind of apartment building but for fruit and vegetables. 2. Sunroof tiles
