The Key to Success – The Present Moment

BY SCIENCEOFSPIRIT ON FEBRUARY 22, 2013

“The greatest discovery is that a human being can alter his life by altering the attitudes of his mind” – William James

We all desire that one quick key to success.  The key to happiness, bliss, financial prosperity, successful relationships, and the alleviation of suffering.  What if I told you, there was no key?  Throw away that thought.  There is nothing you have to obtain for any of these things.  The solution to all your problems is already within you now and can be accessed through the practice of one simple exercise: meditation.

Bringing the body, mind and spirit together in harmony allows you to tap into a world of infinite potential, giving you a glimpse into your own true nature of perfect peace. 

We often forget our true nature due to the activity of the mind, but it is nevertheless there waiting to be discovered by you in the present moment.  As we all know from personal experience, the vast majority of our internal suffering is generated by our thoughts.

Take a moment to quiet everything down.  Meditation allows consciousness to marinate in itself by bringing to attention the present moment, the only time that actually exists.  This is where success ultimately lies.  Success can only be understood in terms of what is happening, and the only thing that is happening is the present moment.

Often times, we cause ourselves stress, anxiety, and panic over stuff that may occur in the future or events that have taken place in the past.  The past only exists as a thought, and the future only exists as potential.  Does it make sense to stress ourselves out and react to something which we know to be non-existent?  To be anxious, fearful, or stressed out over something which does not exist is known as insanity or schizophrenia in the medical community.  Bring the attention back to the present moment, and in this awareness true success be obtained.  But what kinds of success can meditation lead to?

Finding peace and stillness within yourself is crucial to your body’s health. 90% of all diseases and illnesses are either caused or aggravated by stress, and meditation is a great way to restore balance in your body.

A new study from the American Heart Association shows that regular meditation was correlated with a 48% reduced risk of heart attack and stroke and even a trend towards reduced smoking.

“It appears that Transcendental Meditation is a technique that turns on the body’s own pharmacy – to repair and maintain itself.” said lead researcher Dr. Robert Schneider.  “The research on Transcendental Meditation and cardiovascular disease is established well enough that doctors may safely and routinely prescribe stress reduction for their patients with this easy to implement, standardized and practical programme.” The study proved meditating 20 minutes twice a day can cut your chances of heart attack, and stroke in half immediately.

What man-mad pill can do that?  Meditation has also been proven to cultivate healthy habits that lead to weight loss, lower blood pressure, improve digestion, decrease physical pain, boost your immune system, reduce your chance of cardiovascular disease, treat headaches, and even improve your sex-life just to name a few.

The mental benefits of meditation are even more striking.  A study from Harvard in 2006 found that meditation actually increases the size of your brain.  It also is scientifically proven to boost your creativity, increase brain wave coherence, increase your IQ, and improve mental focus, attention, memory and concentration.  In other words, you don’t need to spend money on ADHD medication for yourself of your children.

Meditation also trains us to be compassionate by increasing the activity of the insula in the brain, the part of your brain responsible for processing empathy and perceiving the emotional states of others. This study from the University of Wisconsin-Madison proves that meditation actually trains your brain to be kind to other people and understand them compassionately.

“To varying degrees, meditation has been shown to benefit patients with hypertension, chronic pain, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, cancer, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse.”  – Aditi Nerurkar, M.D., Harvard.  Which would you chose, meditation or medication?  Simply put, meditation is something that can dramatically alter your life for the better.  It can replace your medications, improve your relationships with the people around, and bring you to a state of inner peace and tranquility.

Not only will you gain all of this, but you will also lose anger, anxiety, panic, depression, sickness and fear.   THIS is success.  Panic to Freedom is a fantastic program put together by Jordan, Ray, and Brian to walk you through breathing exercises, present moment awareness, and meditation to help you become the peaceful, blissful, and liberated individual you already are.  If you want to be successful, there is nothing more successful than a successful present moment.  In fact, this is the only kind of success there is, and all you have to do is nothing.

So what are you waiting for?  Don’t just do something, sit there!

Transform yourself into the peaceful person you really are, and be truly successful in this moment.  You deserve it.

Nature’s Fruity Statin Helps Clean Out Arteries

Research continues to mount showing how a piece of fruit can naturally unclog your arteries in no time.

Without side effects.

In one study, researchers found that drinking this fruit juice reduced arterial plaque by up to 30 percent.1

For the study, Israeli scientists followed 19 subjects for three years. Patients were between the ages of 65 and 75. They were all non-smokers but had severe arterial buildup. So severe that their blood flowed at only 10 to 30 percent capacity.

Researchers gave 10 subjects this juice to drink daily. The other nine received a placebo. At baseline all subjects had similar levels for glucose, cholesterol, and blood pressure.

Diet and lifestyle practices remained constant throughout the test.

After just three months scientists noticed a difference. Thickness in the juice drinkers’ arteries decreased by 13 percent. And even better… After a year, plaque decreased by 30 percent. But in the placebo group, plaque increased by nine percent.

What is this artery-cleaning elixir?

Pomegranate juice.

In another Israeli study, researchers tested pomegranate juice on mice.2 The mice also had severely clogged arteries. Researchers split the mice into groups. One group had pomegranate juice added to their water. Researchers compared the pomegranate mice to a placebo and control group.

Once again, the pomegranate juice worked. In just two months, the mice that consumed the juice had improved arteries. The fruit reduced arterial lesion size by 17 percent.

Healthier arteries in just two months… you don’t get those types of results with drugs.

Statins and other high blood pressure medication are usually prescribed to treat hardening of the arteries – also known as atherosclerosis. We’ve told you the dangers of statins more than once. We’ve even told you how they actually cause arterial calcification.3

But now we’re finding that pomegranates are nature’s statin. Those little seeds found inside the wonder fruit are proving to do the job without the harmful side effects.

You can buy the fruit whole and crack it open and eat the seeds fresh. Or you can buy pomegranate juice. Just make sure you buy organic and naturally sweetened juice.

Don’t wait until the plaque builds up. Add pomegranates to your diet now as a preventative measure. They won’t just perk up your taste buds… they’ll get your blood flowing too.

Menurunkan Tekanan Darah Tinggi dengan DIET: Faktor K

Definisi tekanan darah tinggi (hypertension):

Tekanan darah sistolik > 140 mmHg dan/atau tekanan darah diastolik > 90 mmHg (CPG: Malaysian Guidelines 2008)

Klasifikasi (CPG: Malaysian Guidelines 2008) :

Kebanyakan pesakit darah tinggi dinasihatkan supaya mengurangkan pengambilan garam (Sodium,Na+) dalam makanan, ini memang benar, tetapi pernahkah anda dinasihatkan juga supaya meningkatkan pengambilan POTASIUM (K+) dalam diet?

Antara tugas Sodium yang yang penting adalah mengawal volume cecair dalam badan anda. Sodium membantu untuk 'menarik' air supaya kekal di dalam darah anda.

Pengambilan Sodium secara berlebihan menyebabkan lebihnya volume air terkumpul dalam badan dan sukar untuk disingkirkan (melalui buah pinggang)

Di sinilah letaknya fungsi POTASIUM yang mempunyai fungsi yang berlawanan dengan Sodium, dimana ion Potasium akan bertukar dengan ion potasium pada reseptor sel dan ini akan membantu penyingkiran air dari badan

Kajian mendapati secara purata, penduduk A.S memakan sebanyak 3300 mg sodium sehari, sedangkan pakar pemakanan hanya mengesyorkan limitnya sebanyak 2300 mg sehari).

Manakala jumlah pengambilan Potasium yang disyorkan adalah 4700 mg sehari, manakala secara purata, penduduk AS hanya mengambil sebanyak 2000-2500 mg sahaja.

Tidak menghairankan 1 dalam 3 penduduk AS mendapat tekanan darah tinggi!


Apa itu faktor K?

Richard D. Moore, MD, PhD adalah seorang pakar yang telah sekian lama mengkaji hubungan antara Potasium dengan darah tinggi.

Dalam bukunya "The High Blood Pressure Solution: Natural Prevention and Cure with the K factor",

Dr Moore telah menunjukkan bagaimana dengan makan menurut Faktor K, iaitu didefinisikan sebagai nisbah Sodium:Potasium sekurang-kurangnya 1:4 boleh mencegah penyakit darah tinggi, stroke dan kematian pra-matang

Dengan memakan makanan yang tinggi Potasium, rendah Sodium juga dapat mencegah penyakit buah pinggang dan jantung yang disebabkan oleh darah tinggi.

Bagaimana Meningkatkan Faktor K?

-Memakan sayuran, kekacang (legumes), biji-bijirin dan buah-buahan
-Makanan-makanan semulajadi (tanpa diproses) ini membekalkan nisbah Sodium-Potasium sekurang-kurangnya 1:50.  Pisang, nisbahnya sangat tinggi (1: 440), begitu juga oren (1: 260)

Sumber-Sumber Potasium Yang Tinggi:

-Buahan sitrus seperti oren dan grapefruits. 1 cawan oren membekalkan 500 mg
-Ikan seperti tuna, halibut (400 mg+  setiap hidangan)
-Pisang (450 mg)
-Tomato (440 mg)
-Epal (182 mg)
-Honeydew

Tips Pengambilan Diet Untuk Pesakit darah Tinggi

1) Kurangkan pengambilan makanan berproses/makan di restoren
-1 Big Mac mengandungi 1070 mg sodium
-Semangkuk sup mengandungi 800 mg sodium

2) Makan dengan Nisbah Sodium-Potasium sekurang-kurangnya 1:4
-Jika contohnya anda makan makanan yang mempunyai sodium 1000 mg, anda kena 'balance' dengan makanan yang mengandung Potasium 4000 mg

3) Makan Makanan Potasium Tinggi (seperti contoh-contoh di atas)

Negative-calorie Foods

For those wishing to lose weight easier, faster and smarter!

Hope this article about negative-calorie foods by Mike Adams, Editor at NaturalNews.com will give you valuable insights!

Negative-calorie health foods - burn fat while making you feel full

How do you eat more while losing more weight at the same time? One of the best answers is to eat "negative-calorie" foods, meaning that these foods actually take more energy to digest than they deliver to your body. While these foods may be an important source of phytonutrients, they are not sources of fat-packing calories.

Because of their surprising lack of calories, these foods can essentially be consumed in unlimited quantities without you gaining weight (body fat). That works because your stomach senses when it is physically full, and it will trigger your brain to stop eating when you can't handle more food. You know that "I feel stuffed" feeling? That's your stomach (which has its own complex nervous system, by the way), telling your brain to tell you to stop eating.

This is why, believe it or not, the simple act of drinking a glass of water before each meal is a proven weight loss strategy. It fills your belly with water, thereby reducing the amount of space left for other foods. So your stomach gets full more quickly, triggering the "stop eating" signals in your brain.

Eating an apple before each meal also works in much the same way. This is true even though apples are not negative-calorie foods. But they are rich in water, and water takes up space in your stomach.

In fact, that's the common property among all negative-calorie foods: They all contain a lot of water locked in a fibrous matrix. Apples are essentially "water fruits," as are grapes and watermelons (hence the name). Many vegetables are also "water vegetables," meaning that they're loaded with water. Celery, for example, is the classic example of a water-rich negative-calorie food (see below).

As you read this list, remember that all foods contain calories, and that the term "negative-calorie food" is a bit of a misnomer. It refers to the effective net calories subtracted from your body through the preparation, eating, digestion and elimination of these foods. In other words, you expend more calories eating them than they deliver to your body.

The upshot is that the more water you consume in your foods, the more quickly you'll feel full and stop eating. Water, it turns out, is the most effective appetite control substance in the world.

So here's the list of the five best negative-calorie foods that you can enjoy every day as part of a healthy weight loss diet:

#1) Celery

One cup of celery (120g) contains only 19 calories. It takes far more than 19 calories to prepare, eat, digest and eliminate this one cup of celery, and that's what qualifies it as a negative-calorie food. You can eat as much celery as you want, and you won't gain body fat.

Even though celery contains effectively no contributing calories, it does contain powerful medicine. Celery juice is a powerful anti-inflammatory medicine (http://www.naturalnews.com/024135_celery_cancer_inflammation.html), and one of the active constituents in celery -- apigenin -- slashes the risk of ovarian cancer, too. (http://www.naturalnews.com/027449_cancer_ovarian_flavonoids.html)

#2) Lettuce, onions and greens

Lettuce is basically just structured water locked into a vegetable matrix. One cup of typical iceberg lettuce contains just 8 calories, meaning you can munch on this to your heart's delight and you'll never gain an ounce of body fat.

Much the same is true with onions, which contain only 64 calories per cup and yet deliver an amazing assortment of anti-cancer nutrients and immune-boosting medicine. (http://www.naturalnews.com/022364_pancreatic_cancer_onions.html).

Virtually all salad greens are "negative-calorie" foods, meaning you can eat as many of them as you want. But be careful:

Slopping on 300 calories worth of oily salad dressing changes the entire equation. While lettuce by itself is a negative-calorie food, salad dressing is mostly definitely NOT. In fact, salad dressings are often loaded with cheap soybean oils and even MSG (monosodium glutamate), a chemical taste enhancer linked to neurological damage and obesity. MSG is almost always found in "Ranch" flavor dressings, in particular.

#3) Grapefruit

Grapefruit technically isn't a negative-calorie food, but it deserves mention for another reason as you'll soon see. For starters, it's still fairly low in calories, delivering only 74 calories per cup.

But the best part is that grapefruit contains naringenin, an antioxidant derived from the bitter flavor of grapefruits, which triggers the liver to break down fat. So as part of a fat-loss strategy, grapefruit is truly essential to your daily diet!

Fascinating research about the fat-reducing properties of grapefruit was just published in the online journal PLoS ONE (http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0012399). It shows that naringenin activates two kinds of PPARs (dubbed PPAR-alpha and PPARy) and blocks LXR-alpha -- resulting in fasting-type benefits to the body (http://www.naturalnews.com/029684_naringenin_grapefruit.html).

"It is a process which is similar to the Atkins diet, without many of the side effects," Martin L. Yarmush, MD, PhD, director of the MGH Center for Engineering in Medicine and one of the paper's authors, said in a media statement. "The liver behaves as if fasting, breaking down fatty acids instead of carbohydrates."
