We had a very strange day yesterday with the threat of thunder always in the air. Rain is near us but maybe will be kept at bay by the mountains. We never mind a drop or two of rain over the reservoirs in the mountains, do we? Today is a rather cloudy and dullish day with the sun trying to break through. Here's the forecast.
...and another thing
Mozart never had a top 40 hit, but he suddenly became very popular in the early 90s after a study showed that kids who listened to his music had better spatial abilities than kids who didn't.
Spatial ability involves aptitude for analyzing and comprehending, which plays into recognition of patterns and critical problem solving.
In short, advanced spatial ability equals smarts.
So for years, parents, day-care centers, pediatricians, etc., have been pumping Don Giovanni and other Mozart favorites into little ears, certain the little brains were getting sharp.
Turns out they weren't.
Psychologists from the University of Vienna reviewed dozens of studies that addressed the Mozart/spatial ability question. Their conclusion: Kids might learn to love (or maybe hate) classical music, but if they bring home straight As, it won't be because of the maestro.
If you want to make kids smarter, minimize their intake of sugar, television, video games, and the Internet. Then maximize their intake of nutrients that we KNOW support cognitive function--vitamin D, vitamin B-12, and omega-3 fatty acids for starters.
Then put on some tunes you like and dance around with your brainy kids.
To Your Good Health,
Jenny Thompson

I like to get hold of inspirational and motivational material and there's a website to visit in the next piece. It is up to you, of course, to decide to what depth you will accept such material but as I am in sharing mode here comes the material...........
1. Daily meditation
Meditating daily has numerous benefits, from improved health, reduced stress and anti-aging benefits to the gifts of clearing and raising energy, inner peace and centring, connecting to your Higher Being, and receiving divine inspiration.
Even just 5 minutes once a day will be beneficial. You can extend that to 2
(or 3) times a day, and move from 5 minutes to 10, then 20 minutes.
Guided meditation recordings, such as the Earth Light and Inner Realm meditations of the Intuition Zone make your meditation experience easy
and elegant.
You can just sit back, relax, and allow the meditative experience.
The Manifesting Blueprint Meditation (part of the Miracle Mind Manifesting
Program at this link) is also a great one for combining meditation with visualization for manifesting your dreams, and includes a healing light
meditation to clear blockages to success.
Both of these are approximately 20 minutes long and allow you to dip into
theta states for longer periods, opening you to higher states of awareness,
connecting you to your inner light and raising your consciousness.
Even simply breath awareness or mindfulness meditation, where you focus
on your body and breathing, and any sounds in your environment, to become
very present and still, allowing thoughts and feelings to come and go without
attaching to them, allows you to become centered and clear, detached from
your linear thinking mind, more grounded and in your heart.
The Intuition Zone has 4 meditations specifically designed for various uses.
See the website for details.
