DNA
I found this wonderful video about DNA and health that I encourage you to watch. It is very well done, and needless to say I agree with everything in it.
Enjoy

#Expectations
We need to find the balance between using our mind to create our reality and living in denial. The first requires that we assess a situation with objectivity and take steps to transform it to our liking; the second causes us to ignore reality and invariably be struck by disappointment.
Uncertainty is a description of reality, and yet, we have expectations about most everything we do. We would be happier and healthier if we dealt with life and the world the way it is rather than some fantasy we have about it. We can dream of a better world and take steps to participate in its transformation, but we cannot expect our reality to change until we take steps to change ourselves and our behaviors.
The key is to be positive in your outlook, do not hide behind your fear, face reality, see it as it is, it will allow you to be objective and take appropriate action. Wishes are not enough. For them to become reality, they need to be propelled by the strength of your desire and the power of your actions.

#Levels of consciousness
Most of us have learned in childhood that we live on earth and God lives in heaven, and that the two are always separated. In reality heaven and earth exist simultaneously, in the same location, they are simply of different vibrational frequencies.
When we practice meditation we eventually connect with our Higher Self, or our higher mind, also called our wise mind. As we open ourselves to our higher Self we receive the guidance and assistance we need (even though it might not always be what we want). The connection with our Higher self allows for the unification of intuitive levels at our lower, concrete or logical mind. This is the first step toward soul connection, our Divine Self.
In our present time we have the possibility to develop our mind more than ever before. It opens us not only to intuition but to the possibility of illumination. This is reaching heaven.

#Trust
Trust requires an assessment of the harmful or helpful intentions of other people, or in the case of spirituality, of one’s soul. A lot of people have difficulty trusting their soul, or God if we consider souls to be a part of divinity, because they do not know its intention. Logically we should know that our own soul would not purposely harm us, yet because of fear we try to control which kind of help we receive and how it should come
We cannot always control the outcome of situations, and entering into a power struggle with our soul will only create pain. Not only will what we resist persist, but when we push in a direction that presents signs of difficulties, we are clearly outside the path of our soul. Remember at its level, the soul has access to the past, present and future. What seems good from the limited view of our ego might have a very different outlook from the perspective of the soul.
The starting point is to build a greater trust in ourselves. We project on others what we are. If our mind is suspicious and fearful we cannot trust others and we will not be capable of trusting divinity, when our best ally and benefactor is our Divine Self.

Planetary transformation
When we think about planetary changes we often wonder how these changes are happening and why. The purpose of energetic transformation is mostly for spiritual stimulation. These new energies, coming from different sources, affect the mental and etheric body of all entities dwelling on this planet. We all experience multiple stimuli from these energies and respond to them differently.
You might at times find yourself disoriented, going to a room and for a brief moment wondering where you are or what you went there for. Those moments happen as part of the reorganization of your mental body. It might also produce times of discord, or of intense reorganization in your life.
These levels of transformation are now taking place and will continue for years to come. If you have read my book you know that I foresee these transformations taking place until 2025. These changes will bring significant improvement in our consciousness, so even if the transition is difficult at times, it is beneficial for all of us and for our planet.

#Alignment
There are many signs that show us when we are out of alignment, we just need to be attentive to the messages we receive. For example your body will tell you it is out of balance through pain or discomfort, yet, instead of paying attention to the message and trying to trace the source of the pain that often comes from an emotional source, we take medication to suppress it. In doing so, not only do we not listen to the message but we create more damage because of the drugs side effects.
In the same way when we encounter difficulties in our work or in following our goals we often blame circumstances rather than examining our thought process. Which kind of messages are you really sending out? Are you clear in your resolve or do you have conflicting desires and thoughts? You may think with real determination that you want to be successful and on top of your game, yet, another part of you may think it is too much work, it takes too much time, or it is not worth it. If your desires are not in alignment with your thoughts you cannot manifest what you want.
So take the time to go within and examine the cross currents of your mind and emotions that may be responsible for your pain or lack of satisfaction in your life, as those are clear signs of misalignment. Be aware of your real desires and bring yourself back into the flow of creation.

#Mercury retrograde
Tomorrow Sunday 24th will be full moon. The energy upon the earth will be intensified, and many people will respond to it with strong emotional impulses. Do not let your emotions force you to make irrational decision or drive you into a hole of darkness. If you experience this, It is just the full moon energy, it will pass and you will have a clearer mind by Monday. In between bring the light and clear your energy.
We also are starting a Mercury retrograde cycle that will last until March 17th, refrain to make any new important decision during that period, as you might regret it later. It is a time to reflect on past issues and tight up loose ends. You might do well backing up your computers, as Mercury, the planet of communication, is well-known to create communication and electronic problems when in retrograde.
It is a great time to finish up what you have already started rather than starting new things and gather the fruit of all your efforts.

#A Great Lesson
I love this story, it is so relevant and applicable to most everyone, I wanted to share it with you as it is a great description of stress.
A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and explaining stress management to an audience with a raised glass of water. Everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or half full?'... She fooled them all .... "How heavy is this glass of water?" she inquired with a smile.
Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.

#Will power
Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4
Even though you may think you do not have the discipline or the strength to exercise will power, most likely you use it more than you think. There are two major ways we use our will, one is to resist temptation, the other is to go after what we want, finding the strength to reach our goal.
Will power also helps us to regulate our impulses and cooperate with others, to control our temper, for example. We also use will power to help us refocus when we meditate. Will power is a strength we can train. If you want to resist doing something you do not want to do, take some deep breaths, and then refocus your attention to your goal, this will bring back balance in your body. It will also have the advantage of releasing the stress in your body.
Being in a state of will power requires that you are rested. Physical exercise increases our ability to express will power, as it reduces stress, creating a better balance in the brain that in turn allows us to make better decisions. Studies show, however, that when we stop exercising our brain deteriorates again and all our good choices start falling away.
Do not forget that you can also exercise your will power to help others by resisting gossip, judging others, or being prejudiced.

#Stress
Our brain is designed to have short bursts of stress followed by long periods of recovery. If we do not have these long enough periods of relaxation we do not recover from stress. Our nervous system becomes overloaded, it weakens our immune system and damages our organ functions.
When you feel overwhelmed or filled with anxiety bring yourself back in the present, and reset your brain by noticing how safe or well you are in the moment. Breathe deeply 4 or 5 times and establish a sense of peace. Our neuro-biology is responsible for our reactions, so do not take everything so personally.
Gratitude is always the best tool to re-code the neurons in your brain. Every evening look for one new thing you have experienced during the day that you can be grateful for. You will soon find yourself going through your day looking for the thing to reflect upon in the evening. It will help your mind to retrain itself.
