Introducing My New Radio Show!
1987 was a momentous year that marked the beginning of humanity’s ascension, rebirth and shift into the Fourth Dimension. 1987’s Harmonic Convergence also marked the beginning of our sun’s direct alignment with the center of our Milky Way Galaxy. This very rare cosmic event has been exposing our whole solar system to intense rounds of “torsion wave” energy. Many believe this newly discovered energy source emanating from Galactic Center is activating our DNA and setting in motion The Great Shift long prophesied by many indigenous traditions, including the Mayan, Incan, Hopi and Vedic.
Mayan timekeepers records indicate that 2012 marks the close of several large cycles of time: a 26,000 year Mayan Calendar cycle, a 78,000 year Earth cycle, a 26 million year Earth cycle and the 225 million Galactic Year. The simultaneous close of these cycles in 2012 is like the odometer turning over for the entire history of our galaxy, and perhaps the whole cosmos. It is a moment when humanity, Planet Earth, the Milky Way Galaxy and perhaps all of creation is expected to take a simultaneous leap in evolution.
I’ve been researching the prophesies of ancient peoples. The first place I found evidence of The Shift was in books about 2012 from those such as Jose Arguelles, Carl Calleman and John Major Jenkins who have studied the prophesies of the Mayans, Incans and Hopis .
Their research into these ancient prophesies revealed very similar predictions of a great shift in consciousness as we approach 2012. The Mayan’s, who have been keeping time on Earth for 5000 years, created codices or cosmic calendars such as this one to track the timing of humanity’s passage through a great metamorphosis.
According to the Long Count Calendar they use to measure long cycles of time, 2012 marks the close of several cycles of time.
According to the Mayans, the close of the first cycle is the completion of the Galactic Year. It takes 225 million Earth years for the Milky Way Galaxy to make one complete rotation in the sky.
2012 also marks the end of:
a 26 million year Earth cycle
a 78,000 year Earth cycle
the close of the 26,000 year Mayan Calendar
According to the prophesies of many groups of indigenous people, 2012 appears to be the time when the odometer turns over for the entire history of humans, Earth, our galaxy, and perhaps, all of creation–-the moment when all life experiences a leap that is similar to that of caterpillars becoming butterflies.
The Mayans believe that human evolution unfolds as a result of these long cycles of time. Their mystery plays myths, spiritual rites and practices re-enacted the cosmic drama created by the alignment of Earth’s sun with Galactic Center in 2012.
They described this alignment as a kind of cosmic intercourse between Father Sun and the Great Mother of Galactic Center that will birth all of creation into a new reality. Pregnancy, birth and embryogenesis were central concepts in their tradition.
The Tzolkin calendar, one kind of Mayan calendar, is based on the 260-day term of human gestation. It is a harmonic representation of the 26,000-year Mayan calendar. 260 x 100 = 26,000. It appears that the Mayans used the Tzolkin Calendar to track both the evolution of an individual human and the 26,000-year Mayan calendar as a way of monitoring the evolution of the human species.
From a Mayan perspective, the time preceding December 21, 2012 Earth is making its shift into Christ Consciousness and transforming humanity into Christed Beings.
This process of transformation of humans, which compares to the transformation of a caterpillar into a Monarch butterfly, is known as Ascension. While the term ASCENSION is typically used to describe human transformation, Jose Arguelles also wrote about it from a planetary perspective in his book, Earth Ascending.
From an astrological perspective, we are transitioning from the Age of Pisces to the Age of Aquarius. When we look in one direction, we see the breakdown of Piscean structures based on competition and scarcity. And, when we look in the other, we see the sprouting of new Aquarian structures based on partnership principles and the sharing of resources.
While this transition can cause confusion and anxiety, it represents a unique window of opportunity for us to evolve.
Scientists who are studying evolution from a celestial perspective believe that there are four kinds of celestial events and cosmic forces that might be triggering The Shift:
• Galactic Cycles
• Solar Cycles
• Solar Events
• Supernovas
There is a tremendous amount of evidence in these four areas indicating that we are deep into the Great Shifting of the Ages. So let’s look at the first: galactic cycles.
They are created by the rotation of our galaxy through evenly-spaced zones of energy that are not visible to the naked eye. It takes approximately 26 million years to pass through one of these zones and it appears that we are now moving into one that is more highly charged. Moving through this accelerated energy is changing our DNA, our consciousness and triggering our metamorphosis.
Our Milky Way Galaxy is about 100,000 light years across, 30,000 light years away, belongs to a group of three large and 30+ small galaxies, and is the second largest after the Andromeda Galaxy. Our solar system lies out on the edge of the Orion spiral arm.
The Hubble Telescope, launched by NASA in late 1995, has been opening the stars to us, revealing a once-secret world of celestial events and activities. Many of these images go beyond amazing —they actually appear to be a window into the world of creation and evolution. Here are some of them (left animation).
This image (click image right), known as the Hour Glass Nebula has generated a lot of interest.
The crop circle below appeared in England during June 2005. Some refer to it as the All-seeing Eye of God.
An eye specialist who examined the image above (click it), indicated that it is structured like a human eye.
The key to the restart date of the Maya calendar is the astronomy that will unfold in the sky directly over the Maya. This is shown in the above screenshot. Here we see that the sun will be in the middle of the dark rift, the Maya birth canal, on the day of the winter solstice. In my essays, I go over why this day can be said to contain the triple rebirth of the sun, which is a marker for the rebirth of the great year, the 26,000 precessional cycle.
We also see that there are four planets forming the horizontal crossbar of the sacred tree and the sun is virtually exactly in the middle of these planets. This is also quite significant as to why the Maya picked this exact day to restart their calendar.
Please note:
1) If the Maya intentionally pinpointed the exact day of the winter solstice in 2012 from over 2,100 years ago, they would have needed to know the length of the year to within 40 seconds!
2) Five cycles of their Long Count calendar add up to the length of the earth's precessional cycle to within one-half of one percent and the Maya often talk about all five cycles! Also these cycles are mention in most studies and share five elements The most frequently occurring theory of classical elements, held by the Hindu, Japanese, and Greek systems of thought, is that there are five elements, namely Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and a fifth element known variously as space, Idea, Void "quintessence" or Aether (the term "quintessence" derives from "quint" meaning "fifth").
The poetic beauty is breathtaking; the actual astronomy is profoundly precise!
Many native tribes in Mexico and South America believe that Galactic Center or Tula emits a frequency or tone known as Ge, and that this tone not only heals the body and mind but brings immortality. The spiral Ge shown here represents the frequency being transmitted from Tula or Galactic Center.
I believe that as our Sun, Earth and us move towards the big conjunction of 2012, that this frequency is getting much stronger.
It’s vibration is activating our DNA and metamorphosizing us from being humans. Russian scientists have discovered that the 97% empty space in our DNA isn’t empty. They believe it is filled with something called torsion wave energy. I believe that this energy could also be called love or even the tone of Ge.
Scientists now believe that torsion wave energy not only exists before the DNA, that it actually tells the DNA what to do. Our DNA is a hard drive. Torsion energy/LOVE/tone of Ge interacts with our soul and heart.
The energy from our soul and heart organizes the torsion wave energy and tells the DNA how to arrange itself. This creates not only our physical body but our whole REALITY. I believe that the ancient Mayans and other indigenous people knew and understood this.
One of the easiest ways to activate your DNA and accelerate your Ascension as Earth moves into the galaxy’s high-energy zone is to declare yourself a Master using the following vow.
...What should I say and to whom? Like so many other things we've spoken of, the answer is far easier than you might think. You need to be alone. Then, with pure intent, come before the family [Spirit] and state your case. Whatever you say is then the beginning of the rewrite [to the Akashic record related to your past incarnations], since the energies of Earth respond to Human free will.
Speak it out loud so your cells can hear it, too, in the air. State that you drop the old vows and then give a new one. Perhaps you'll now take the vow of masterhood? Perhaps you'll pledge yourself to the benefit of all humanity?
...A vow of masterhood gives permission for the energies to change within you, for the tool box to be opened and for Human Beings who have always thought of themselves ordinary to begin to activate the ascension layer of their DNA. The door to a peaceful planet begins to open and only a few will walk through at first, then more and more should they choose to see.
(Kryon/Carroll, Sedona Journal of Emergence, February, 2004:19).
A vow of masterhood should not be taken lightly. By doing so, you will activate the third strand of your DNA.
The SOHO satellite, placed in orbit between Earth and the sun in late 1995, has been capturing images of the sun’s surface and monitoring its activity. It monitors solar storms generated by the Sun, which spews electromagnetically charged particles that spread across Earth and all other planets in our solar system.
These images show the sun at the minimum and maximum in its energetic activity.
The Sun’s magnetic poles shift every 11.2 years and are believed to strongly influence Earth’s magnetic poles. You may recall from a little earlier that it takes Galactic Center 11 minutes to make a complete revolution. These kinds of mathematical harmonics are another factor indicating that the universe was created by an intelligent force.
If you’ve been watching the space news recently, Earth has been bombarded with energy from round after round of sunspots and solar flares that have been creating intense electromagnetic storms. During late October and early November of 2003, for example, ten powerful solar flares kicked up extreme doses of X-rays and other radiation, along with slower-moving storms of charged particles. These gigantic eruptions were the largest ever recorded in our history. The magnetic clouds of plasma become 30 million miles wide by the time it reaches earth.
These flares create solar winds that distorts the Earth’s magnetosphere, causing magnetic storms that can disrupt communications and navigational equipment, damage satellites, and even cause blackouts.
These solar winds distend the magnetosphere of the Earth (image right) and everything living on it. Some of this energy slammed squarely into Earth, hampering radio communications, forcing the FAA to divert airline traffic away from polar routes, which are exposed to higher radiation doses, and crippling two Japanese satellites. Astronauts aboard the International Space Station were forced to take cover multiple times in protected areas.
In below image, you can see the eruption, the solar winds that it generates, where they hit Earth’s atmosphere and how it distorts Earth’s electromagnetic atmosphere.
The image below with the Sun blocked out shows the two primary kinds of solar eruptions. Solar Pominences, the loop-like images at the top and the pointed Coronal Mass Ejections, which are more commonly known as sunspots.
On June 8th 2004, Venus crossed the path of the sun, marking the beginning of an 8-year Venus cycle that ends on June 6th of 2012, just before the end of the Mayan Calendar and the Great Galactic Year.
This transit released very powerful energies to harmonize the masculine or patriarchal forces of the Sun with the heartful, loving energies associated with Venus. Many indigenous people, consider the eight years between these two dates as an evolutionary doorway or gestational period for the release of new ideas and world change
Let’s look next at the science related to supernovas—the fourth celestial phenomenon with a role in the shift. Supernovas are stars that explode and distribute oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, calcium and iron out into space to enrich clouds of hydrogen and helium to help birth new stars (image left - crab nebula).
They also help create gold, silver, lead, uranium and heavy elements and distribute them into the universe. Their remnants project cosmic dust that that travels out into a solar system, causing mutation and evolution in living cells.
In 1987, scientists observed the explosion of a supernova in Ophiucus which is located near Galactic Center. This is one of the first images of it taken in 1990 by the European Space Agency's Camera.
This supernova erupted when fast moving debris from an immense stellar explosion collided with the gas ring that circles it (image right). Scientists believe the ring is made up of old gas that was ejected by the star some 20,000 years ago, long before it exploded.
The intense burst of light from the 1987 explosion heated the ring, revealing its presence. This coincides, if you remember, with the beginning of the Harmonic Convergence and the rise in the Schumann resonance, also known as Earth’s Heartbeat.
Then the ring began slowly fading until 1997, when one of the knots in it ignited as it was impacted by the immense shockwave. Since 1996, NASA has been monitoring changes in Supernova 1987a with the Hubble Telescope. This supernova’s explosion is now causing the gases in the ring to glow as they are heated to millions of degrees and compressed by the sledgehammer blow of a 40 million mile-per-hour blast wave.
An article in the Hubble Space Telescope News in the late 1980’s, talked about Supernova 1987a. It predicted that the inner ring of the formation would collide with the debris from the 1987 stellar explosion as early as 2000 and that this would cause the outer ring to ignite.
The article also predicted that the gases of this formation would fully ignite this ring, like the burner on a gas stove. In this 2004 image (click image right), you can see that the ring has been following NASA’s predictions and that ignition is virtually complete.
The final burst of light, expected to glow at thousands of degrees, is expected to create an incredible burst of light that scientists anticipate will be visible on Earth in 2005.
One of Nostradamus’ quatrains may correlate the final burst of light this supernova with the change of Popes:
The great star will burn for seven days
The cloud will make double sun appear
The large mastiff will howl all night
When the great pontiff changes his abode
There are many places in this country that have brilliant scientists conducting secret research. Some of the most prominent are:
• Area 51 near Reno, Nevada
• Wright-Patterson AF Base in Ohio
• Nellis AFB near Las Vegas
• Los Alamos National Laboratory – Los Alamos, New Mexico
• Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque
The research of this scientist who has worked at Area 51 for 19 years has been gradually released to the world because he believes that we need to know it. He believes that humanity is approaching a critical juncture in its evolution in the next few years and he wants us to be able to make informed choices when we are faced with options that have tremendous impact on the human species.
Much of what Dr. Burisch learned came from very specialized research with beings from a star system known as Zeta Reticulum. On the left is a sketch of the being known as J-Rod with whom he worked for a year in 1992-93. The sketch on the right shows what a normal looking being from the Zeta Reticulum star system looks like.
The one on the left suffered from some kind of genetic problem that caused him to be crippled and deformed.
Both of these beings worked with researchers at both Area 51 and the Los Alamos National Laboratory, helping them advance the technologies for aircraft and other defense projects. According to Burisch, the collaboration between these beings from the Zeta Reticulum star system and Earthlings is part of an exchange project contracted between their civilization and a secret group of people, mostly Americans, known as the Majestic 12.
Dr. Burisch’s story about J-Rod and his neurological problem sounded like pure science when I first stumbled onto it. J-Rod and Dr. Burisch were able to communicate telepathically during the time that they spent together and here is what Dan learned. According to J-Rod, the universe has several timelines, realities or dimensions, which is quite different from our own belief that ours is the ONLY reality.
J-Rod told Burisch that he was from another timeline in which 2012 had already happened. Just prior to their civilization’s 2012, Earth went through catastrophic changes. J-Rod believed that these changes were caused by things that were preventable such as the explosion of nuclear bombs. As a result of this catastrophe, humanity split into two groups. The spiritual group went to the Orion star system, while the technological group went first to Mars and then on to Zeta Reticulum.
J-Rod was from the technological group who went to Mars and then on to Zeta Reticulum and suffered genetic damage from the catastrophic changes. His civilization has mastered time, and he volunteered to travel back in time prior to the events of our 2012. He hoped to change the events of our 2012 and prevent the catastrophic changes his civilization went through during their 2012. He also hoped that his research with Dan Burisch would help cure his civilization’s genetic neuropathic problems.
J-Rod indicated that the photos below from the surface of Mars are human-made structures.
This building (left), this glass tube (click right image), the pyramidal structure known as the Face onMars (click image),
and this structure known as Inca City(click below image) are all remnants of his civilization after it left Earth and went to Mars.
The Majestic 12 is allowing Burisch to release information about parts of his research with J-Rod because the terms of their treaty with J-Rods’ civilization required that their presence on Earth be released in 2005.
Burisch is also being assisted in the disclosure process by William Hamilton III, a physicist and researcher who I heard speak in Atlanta in June 2005 and also spent several hours speaking with him privately about his work.
The real questions are “What are the implications for Earth and for me? Let’s look at Earth first, Earth—particularly her electromagnetic structure. The astrological conjunction of 2012 is also expected to involve a shift in Earth’s magnetic poles.
The two colors in this image represent the energy of the North and South Poles. For some time, scientists have been closely monitoring two parts of Earth’s electromagnetic structure:
It is interesting that the largest increase ever recorded in the Schumann frequency occurred in 1987 and coincided with the eruption of Supernova 1987a and the Harmonic Convergence, when millions of people gathered at sacred sites around the world to pray and meditate together. If you remember, this is the time when Russell Boulding believes that the Shift might have really begun.
The Schumann resonance, also known as Earth’s heartbeat, has increased from its normal 7.8 hz. and is hovering around the 9 – 11 hz. level. It is expected to move to 13 hz, the frequency of unconditonal love.Gregg Braden, a geologist who has been studying this, calls this place where the Schumann or magnetic frequency and the electric frequency intersect ZERO POINT.
It appears that this magnetic reversal is connected to galactic and solar cycles.
Some, like Braden, believe that the electromagnetic poles of Earth will shift as Zero Point approaches. Geological surveys of the mid-Atlantic ridge indicate that this has happened something like 171 times before in the history of Earth. Here is another image of Earth’s electromagnetic field. You can see how orange spots are now appearing in the blue at the top and that blue spots are visible in the orange at the bottom.
Many scientists who are tracking these changes believe that the pole shift is now happening. This image shows what it might look like if we were able to be off the planet and viewing it. In March of this year, for example, computer scientists working with geophysicists and astrophysicists in India released a computer model predicting a geomagnetic reversal in 2012.
As Earth goes through these changes we all want to know: “How will this affect me?" Let’s address this question by looking at this image.
It shows how you, Earth and the Sun are connected and operate as a relay system.
This image illustrates two things. First, is the relationship between you, Earth and our Sun. The second is how they interact and operate as a relay system. The circle at the bottom represents you.
It shows how your brain has right and left You can also see that it has right and left or dark and light hemispheres. You can see that there is also a circular pattern of resonance and energetic interaction between you and Earth.
The circle at the top represents the Sun. You can see that it also has right and left or dark and light hemispheres. And that there is a circular pattern of resonance and energetic interaction between Earth and the Sun. Understanding that you are connected to the cosmos is really important. Why? Because YOU emit energy that affect Earth’s vibration. Earth relays this energy to the sun, the sun relays it to Galactic Center, where it goes out to celestial bodies.
CONVERSELY, celestial bodies transmit to Galactic Center, which transmits to the Sun, the Sun transmits it to Earth and Earth transmits to YOU. So, everything in the cosmos is connected.
We can add other levels of complexity to this image that show similar resonant relationships between our Sun, Galactic Center and celestial bodies such as supernovas. Once we understand that we are connected to everything in the universe, we can become conscious, active participants in it.
This means that this Shift is not happening TO us, we are helping to create it and our future... Not only in our galaxy but perhaps in the whole universe. And many us are experiencing symptoms of The Shift that indicate their body is being transformed, such as headaches, fatigue, electrical sensations in limbs & spine, flu-like symptoms, increased sensitivity & intuition, intense dreams
Our DNA is being reprogrammed to trigger our metamorphosis and activate our light body. Time is speeding up because of Earth’s changing electromagnetic forces. Some believe that our 24 hour day has been condensed into a 16 hour day.
It has become very clear about Earth’s place in our solar system and how we are a part of Her. When she is affected by increases in energy coming from Galactic Center, so are we. She is a living being undergoing her own process of growth and transformation. Our development mirrors hers.
We and Earth are raising our vibrational frequencies, which is slowly birthing us both into a dimension or reality
What to Do?
While the background about The Shift is complex and can be mind-blowing, there are several simple things that we can do to become a conscious participant in it. We all know that the only place where we have any real power and control is inside ourselves. And this is where we have to go, because it is our consciousness that will determine how we and all of humanity travel through 2012 and The Shift.
Paying attention to our emotions is critical. Getting caught up in hate, anger, worry, resentment, fear and jealousy lowers our frequency and provides energy for the forces of chaos and those who feed off it.
There are two points I want to make about this.
1. I’m not saying we shouldn’t have these kinds of feelings, because they are normal human emotions. We need to be able to move through them and not get stuck in them.
2. If you remember, the ET J-Rod stressed to Dan Burisch the importance of humanity not dividing or splitting during the shift of 2012.
Perhaps you’re already seen evidence of an impending split between what might be called the forces of Light and the forces of Dark. I think what we are really seeing is a struggle between two spiritual paths: Service to Self and Service to Other.
The path of Service to Self only recently opened to humans, perhaps around the time of Atlantis. Its followers are known as the “Sons of Darkness". This path involves being self-centered more than 51% of the time. Extremists who are taking this path to its limit have been seeking control of Earth. Some of them are so extreme that they are willing to destroy Earth if they cannot be in control.
Followers of the path of Service to Others practice the principles of the Law of One. This path involves serving the needs of the whole or others more than 51% of the time. Many incarnated on this path are now ready to move from the current 3D density to the next level of experience known as the 4th Density. Many of the new children being born are 100% on this path and are helping to raise Earth’s frequency for The Shift.
Any time we have a judgment about someone and make them bad, we lower our frequency and feed those on the path of Service to Self.
Positive emotions such as appreciation, compassion, understanding, forgiveness, kindness, joy, ecstasy, happiness and excitement create energy that feeds the forces of Light. Serving the needs of others without becoming co-dependent is the best way to increase our frequency. The challenge here is to balance your own needs for basic self care so that you do not become depleted while also focusing on the needs of the whole.
When you master the polarities of Self Needs and Other Needs, your brain shifts out of duality and “all/nothing” thinking into “both/and” thinking. This shifts consciousness and perception dramatically and opens the soul to multidimensional awareness.
Every generation has mythologized the struggle between the paths of Service to Self and Services as a kind of “War in Heaven”— in the Star Wars series the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, the Matrix Trilogy and the Harry Potter series. The struggle between the paths of Service to Self and Service to Other moves towards its climax in 2012, the battle seems to be accelerating. While the battle is more visible in the world outside of us, what we see “out there” is really a reflection of the battle between the dark and light forces inside of us.
Our challenge is to embrace the darkness in ourselves and others by using simple tools such as these to keep your heart open, even when things seem to be going badly.
The most important thing is that we each continue raising our vibration. Each day we have a constant stream of opportunities to raise or lower our frequency. The choices we make impact all of creation, if you remember how you are part of the relay system between you and Galactic Center.
Because the challenges of navigating The Shift can push us to our edges, we sometimes need help. The problem is that we forget it is available and sometimes we just get so stressed that we forget to ask for it. Well, here’s some good news. All humans are given two “guardian angels” prior to incarnating. Russell Boulding’s research revealed that we can now all ask for an additional four angels to help us get ready for The Shift.
If you decided to do this, just get very quiet and centered and ask for more angels. You don’t have to ask for all four at once. Once you’ve called them in, sit down and make a list of how you want them to help you. Put them to work!
What else can you do to prepare for Ascension?
From what I can determine, both your body and our consciousness are already being transformed. Consciousness and matter are both forms of energy. When we use our minds to think, we create movements of electrical impulses in the brain. When electrical energy moves, it precipitates aetheric energy and creates our material reality. The same thing happens with our bodies. How we view ourselves physically creates what we see and believe.
So we have to be conscious of everything we think and feel. If we’ve been heavily influenced by the negative energy around us—on the TV, in movies, by local/national/international events—then we need to retrain our minds and our behavior using Inner Work and Outer Work tools.
Inner Work First, let’s look at the Inner Work part of preparing for The Shift. Lynn Grabhorn created an inner work tool for retraining our perception that she calls Flip Switching. It makes us aware how we are transmitting and receiving energy. She describes this process in musical terms, with the C note as the middle of the scale.
When we emit uplifting energy, we raise not only our own frequency but that of those around us. When we emit downer energy, we lower our frequency. So, here’s Lynn Grabhorn’s take on Flip Switching. It’s a kind of “inner work” to look for and find ways to feel better. It’s a kind of “Inner Work” that makes us aware of the energy we are transmitting.
Flip Switching is based on the musical concept of Middle C.
Uplifting energy raises us above C, while downer energy lowers our frequency. Here’s how Flip Switching works. Feel what it is like to cuddle a little puppy, kitty or baby and then send a wave of this energy to inanimate things around you such as the pencil on your desk, a doorknob, red traffic lights, blue cars, plants, drivers in the car next to you, your toothbrush, your computer, birds or your bathroom towel. The goal is to find ways every day, no matter how you are feeling in the moment, to send out some uplifting vibrations.
Outer Work Kindness is an “outer work” tool you can do to help you prepare for 2012 and the coming dimensional shift. I call it Outer Work because it involves conscious acts of doing. This tool is doing conscious acts of kindness for yourself, others and your environment. Here are things to do:
For Yourself:
• Going to bed early
• Not answering the phone at night
• Turning off the TV and reading inspiring books instead
• Meditating
• Taking soaking baths
• Watching inspiring videos from the Spiritual Cinema Club
For Others:
• Offer to baby-sit for a neighbor's children so they can take a break from parenting.
• Hide love notes in your children’s lunches or your partner’s pockets.
• Send a letter to a teacher or minister letting them know what a difference their acts of kindness made in your life.
• Make an anonymous donation to a person or local charity
• Start a fund-raising drive for a worthy cause (Ryan’s Well)
• Organize your friends or work mates to gather used clothing and give it to homeless shelters.
• Ask your children to go through their toys and donate some of them to children who are less fortunate.
• When someone new moves into your neighborhood, bake some cookies and go over and welcome them to the neighborhood.
For your Environment:
• As you walk through your neighborhood, pick up any trash on the sidewalk or gutter.
• Put your shopping cart back in its appointed space in the parking lot.
• Plant flowers and trees to beautify where you live
• Recycle your trash
• Practice “use it up, wear it out, make it do”
Here is what kindness is NOT:
• Doing something for others and expecting something in return, including praise and recognition
• Doing something for others that gives the message they are weak, helpless or incompetent
• Rescuing people from getting the consequences of their behavior and prevents them from learning about cause-and-effect (like running your kids homework to school for them or taking them to school when they’ve missed the bus)
• Giving unsolicited advice
Kindness isn’t just a fluffy, feel-good or warm-fuzzy concept. What it does for you is the real issue. It creates a powerful, energetic wave that transforms both the giver and recipient at such deep levels that it can actually change your DNA. It works miracles that have been scientifically validated in biology, physiology, psychoneuroimmuniology and physics.
When we open our hearts and reach out to others in kindness, our brain releases endorphins—the morphine-like chemicals that produce the feelings of exhilaration known as the “runner’s high.” Acts of kindness, according to researcher Paul Persall, also cause your brain to release “Substance P,” a neurotransmitter chemical that blocks pain.
These two powerful physiological processes have an immense influence on our body/mind/spirit and the way that we experience life.
A steady flow of endorphins and Substance P through our bodies strengthens our immune system, keeps us feeling happy, joyful, optimistic and energized. This heightens our sense of well being so that we feel calmer, more centered and focused no matter what kind of stressful events might be happening around us.
Physiologically, these brain chemicals improve circulation, reduce blood pressure, increase body warmth and improve weight control. Kindness helps us relax so that we can connect with others and with our own good feelings.
The reverse is also true. When we are angry with others, it stops the flow of these “feel-good” chemicals. They are replaced by cortisol and other forms of adrenaline that create fight, flight and freeze behaviors associated with trauma and stress.
When they are flowing through our bodies, we have a “short fuse” that makes us feel irritable, hostile, helpless and depressed.
Long-term exposure to these chemicals depletes the body’s organs, lowers the function of the immune system and leads to dis-ease and illness. Stress and negative emotion cause our DNA to contract, which stops our evolution.
We choose to transmit energy that is above Middle C or Below Middle C. Our choice creates our reality . . . We not only get what we expect, we get what we TRANSMIT!
So, take the LOVEvolution Challenge. Practice acts of kindness and flip-switching for one week and see what happens. The love you send out from your heart is the most powerful force there is.
When you do this, you’ll find your self surrounded by the force of unconditional love and transformed, along with Earth.
