Meditation seems to improve our empathy for strangers A surprisingly simple gaze-based meditation helps strangers feel deeply connected https://www.psypost.org/a-surprisingly-simple-gaze-based-meditation-helps-strangers-feel-deeply-connected/#:~:text=A%20brief%20meditative%20practice%20that,new%20research%20published%20in%20Mindfulness. A brief meditative practice that involves gazing at another person while silently contemplating shared human experiences can increase feelings of closeness and prosocial behavior—even between strangers, according to new research published in Mindfulness. The study found that a two-minute exercise known as the “Just-Like-Me” meditation not only boosted perceived warmth and connection but also synchronized participants’ smiles and heart rates, suggesting that subtle forms of emotional alignment may help explain the practice’s interpersonal effects. The study was led by Vera U. Ludwig and colleagues at the University of Pennsylvania and other institut...

Great article. I always talk with cashiers and servers... People who always make small talk with cashiers and servers usually have these 5 traits, according to psychology There's something beautifully simple about acknowledging the humans who help us navigate our days. https://vegoutmag.com/lifestyle/m-people-who-always-make-small-talk-with-cashiers-and-servers-usually-have-these-5-traits-according-to-psychology/ Last week, I was sitting in my local café, wrestling with a stubborn case of writer's block, when I started people-watching instead of staring at my blank screen. That's when I noticed something interesting. Some customers would breeze through their coffee orders with barely a word – a quick "large flat white" and they're scrolling their phones, avoiding eye contact. But others? They'd ask the barista how their day was going, comment on the weather, or crack a joke about needing their caffeine fix. It got me thinking: what separates the chatters ...
From the book SAINT GERMAIN ON ALCHEMY Formulas for Self-Transformation recorded by Mark L. Prophet and Elizabeth Clare Prophet Another development of the coming age will be a camera so sensitized that it will make possible the photographing of the human aura. This will enable physicians to discover the fundamental causes of many physical diseases as well as the solution to psychiatric problems related to the emotions and subconscious records of past experiences, even in previous lives unknown to the patients themselves. The wave patterns caused by criminal tendencies and crimes recorded in the etheric body will also be "photographed," or recorded by sensitive instruments in graphic form similar to the process now used to record brain waves and impulses of the nervous system. Evidence of guilt or innocence will thereby be afforded those administrators of justice who formerly relied on incomplete knowledge of events in the penalizing of delinquent individuals. * F...
Human connection to nature has declined 60% in 200 years, study finds Prof Miles Richardson says people risk ‘extinction of experience’ in the natural world without new policies https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/aug/09/human-connection-to-nature-has-declined-60-in-200-years-study-finds People’s connection to nature has declined by more than 60% since 1800, almost exactly mirroring the disappearance of nature words such as river, moss and blossom from books, according to a study. Computer modelling predicts that levels of nature connectedness will continue to decline unless there are far-reaching policy and societal changes – with introducing children to nature at a young age and radically greening urban environments the most effective interventions. The modelling predicts an ongoing “extinction of experience” with future generations continuing to lose an awareness of nature because it is not present in increasingly built-up neighbourhoods, while parents no longer pass o...
Saint Germain Light Codes Saint Germain ascended master light codes are energetic "programs" or frequencies associated with the ascended master Saint Germain, which are believed to activate latent crystalline DNA within individuals, promoting spiritual awakening and transformation. These light codes are often connected to the Violet Flame, a purifying energy Saint Germain is said to have brought to Earth, and are invoked through meditations, invocations, and the use of related crystals like amethyst to help release negative energies and foster a higher spiritual consciousness. What Are Saint Germain Light Codes? Energetic Frequencies: The light codes are described as frequencies or "tapestries" of crystalline coded genes that are part of your biological DNA, but often dormant. Activation and Awakening: By connecting with Saint Germain's energy, these codes are said to come to life, activating dormant divine qualities and liberating a higher, more Christ-like...
Valo tulee Pohjolasta ryhmäläiset ovat taas kerran suoranaisella pelleilyllä saattaneet itsensä häpeään: Ryhmässä Vastuulliset henkiset palvelut: Missy Mallorca kirjoitti · Valo tulee Pohjolasta messut järjestetään 13.9 Mietoisten maamiesseurantalolls uudelleen!

Jos on saavuttanut pienintäkään aitoa henkistä avautumista niin huomaa että kaikki ovat tasavertaisia ja ei ole toisia parempia tai huippu puhujia.

THIS Self cannot be attained by study of the Scriptures, nor by intellectual perception, nor by frequent hearing (of It); He whom the Self chooses, by him alone is It attained. To him the Self reveals Its true nature. We may imagine that by much study we can find out God; but merely hearing about a thing and gaining an intellectual comprehension of it does not mean attaining true knowledge of it. Knowledge only comes through direct perception, and direct perception of God is possible for those alone who are pure in heart and spiritually awakened. Although He is alike to all beings and His mercy is on all, yet the impure and worldy-minded do not get the blessing, because they do not know how to open their hearts to it. He who longs for God, him the Lord chooses; because to him alone can He reveal His true nature. ~ Katha Upanishad
