Memory Enhancement

Memory is one of the most important qualities that one must possess. Memory is purely dependent on the state of the human mind. One suffers from memory loss in many cases when one is too stressed or physically exhausted. The mind and body should be in a very clear and relaxed state for perfect memory powers.

However, there are a lot of medications available today to enhance memory. We offer various kinds of software to increase the power and concentration of the human mind. The human mind is compared to a monkey in most cases. The reason behind this comparison is because, like a monkey, the human mind also keeps on jumping from one thought to another. If memory has to be enhanced, then it is imperative that the brain should first learn to concentrate.

There are a lot of medications available in the market today for memory increase. However they come with a lot of disadvantages. The first demerit is that, they offer only temporary results. The second and the most important demerit is that, there are a lot of side effects associated with these pills. Hence it is strongly recommended to avoid these temporary medications and opt for something permanent which acts on the brain directly.

The memory enhancing software explained in this website is one such permanent relief for memory loss. A wide range of frequency waves are formed and fed into the ears. This then sends signal to the brain, as a result of which, the brain comes to a subconscious state. It is this state that is very important, because the brain is at its maximum potential in this stage. This potential is tapped to a great extent by these waves and all the blockages to the brain are cleared. Clearing these blockages help the brain to think better, deeper and for longer periods of time. The concentration power automatically increases, and the storage capacity of the brain increases, so that it can remember more number of things at a time. This kind of memory enhancing technique is very helpful as it gives a soothing effect to the brain and clears out all unnecessary elements that were hindering the memory potential.

There are scientific studies to prove that these memory enhancing techniques were really helpful in patients suffering from dyslexia. Dyslexia is a kind of ailment where the children face problems like formation of words, spelling etc. They lag behind their peers in terms of grasping lessons in the class and their handwriting has major flaws. This technique was then introduced to a group of these children. The focus capacity of the brain was increased, thereby increasing the grasping power. The children were able to understand their teachers better. Also, their spelling picked up phenomenally and over a period of time, these children were able to come close to their peers. Memory enhancing software like this is not only helpful in providing permanent relief, but it also devoid of any side effects. It is worth trying this, as the cost of downloading is very reasonable.

Our Telepathic Ways

Telepathy

I hope all of you are aware of the concept called "telepathy". However, for people who are new to this term here is a brief description of this concept. Telepathy is the process when one is able to understand the other’s thought process even without verbal communication. There are people who are able to understand what other people think, without directly communicating with them. The scientific reason behind this is that these people might unknowingly share the same frequency levels and hence the thoughts flow through these frequencies in the air.

It does help to know one’s thought process without communication, doesn’t it? It is at this time, that the telepathy software advertised in this site comes to our rescue. It gives various tips and tricks as to how to keep one’s mind clear and peaceful. Telepathy works only in situations where the mind is really relaxed. This software is very easy to download and it come at a very reasonable price.


The ability of telepathy is there in almost all human beings, it is just that we should learn to tap this potential. The mind should be really clear first to catch the thought processes. This software is very helpful to train the human mind and give it a very relaxed state. The telepathy abilities work well in certain frequency ranges only. Hence this software gives a list of steps to help the brain think effectively in these frequency ranges.


There are various recording beats in this software which helps to stimulate the brain to these conditions and relaxes it completely. The brain then becomes oblivious to the external circumstances and focuses only on those beats at the particular frequency ranges. This increases the telepathy abilities of the brain to a great extent. It is always good to keep the brain in a very relaxed state, so that it is able to absorb the frequency signals correctly.


Telepathy works wonders in improving relationships. Just imagine a situation like this. The husband understands what his wife thinks, even without the wife directly saying that to him. He behaves exactly the way his wife wants and gets her exactly what she wanted. Will you not envy this lucky wife who has got a husband who just loves her so much that he knows what goes through in her mind even without communication? That is the power of telepathy. If one wants to improve relationships, focus more on other commitments, bring stability to life and have a relaxed mindset always, one has to improve his powers of telepathy. Nobody is a specialist in telepathy. Some call it instincts, some call it intuition, however, the concept remains the same. With proper training, anybody can become an expert in telepathy.


The Brain Entrainment website points out some different kinds of software which helps the brain to enhance its abilities. There are a lot of techniques available on this website, which comes at reasonable prices and are easy to download. One such technique is telepathy. This is explained in detail at the Brain Entrainment website. You will also learn more about ways in which you can benefit from "exposing" your subconscious mind.

Developing Your Intuition

Exercises to Develop Your Intuition
By Irene Martina

Intuition is the space between your thoughts, when the mind lets go and surrenders to the present moment. There are 7 steps that you can use to strengthen and exercise your intuition.

1. Your intellect! Thoughts are the starting point as everything begins with thought. Pay attention and listen to what you are saying and thinking.

2. Imagination. Imagination plays a key role in nearly everything we do. It is the ability to picture things in our head, things that are not visible around us. Visual symbols and shapes are vital to stimulating inner growth. Imagination is the gateway to awareness.

3. Trusting your gut. Have you noticed that our culture does not value intuition? They value logic and reasoning and so we loose our connection to intuition and a very young age. We have been conditioned to look outside for the answers. Do you realize that you give away your power to people you think have all the answers. For example, doctors and healers may have all the information you need and it may be right but we should be open to taking it in and ask if this feels right for us. Nobody knows what's true for you as well as you know in your soul.

4. Awareness - This simply means living your life consciously. When we do this and give full attention to each and every moment in our life, we begin to glow in our own light and truth.

5. Meditation- This is when the body can reduce stress and concentration becomes easier and more effective. Your ability to learn expands and you enhance your creative powers. You also achieve an overall feeling of well being. Remember to really hear your inner voice you have to learn to be silent.

6. Dreams- They are your greatest source of self help. They can express and teach creativity, reinforce learning, work on problems, and open the door to deeper spirituality. Dreams are therapeutic and healing.

7. Practice- Practice-Practice... Think of intuition as a muscle that must be used to gain strength. So let's do some exercises!

Exercise 1

Take a look at what you are wearing right now. Do you know what your clothes may be telling you? As I mentioned in article two, your clothes, especially the colors will always tell you something about the energy that you may need at this time in your life.

• Are you listless and tired?

• Are your clothes and colors reflecting that?

• What color do you think you could put on to change your energy to something different?

• What is your intuition telling you about how you look and feel right now? Are you willing to listen to it?

• Is there someone close by? If so, look at what they are wearing and ask your intuitive self to give you some feedback on what you see.

Part 2. Think of a question that you want an answer to. For ex: Will it rain in your city before the next snowfall? Pretend that the color of the blouse/shirt you are wearing is the answer to the question OR any other object you want to use.

• Describe the color, any memories you may have associated with it, what the color means to you in this moment and how your perception of the color has changed during this exercise.

• Simply allow yourself to notice images, symbols and other impressions. Do you feel the color would mean a yes or a no to you right now?

Pretending and being able to make things up are very important skills to work on in gaining control of your intuition. Intuition is really just information gathering. Don't try to figure everything out.

Exercise 2

Do you ever notice animals or birds when driving or sitting outside? Did you ever stop and ask yourself why they suddenly came into your line of vision & what they could mean?

Here are some common meanings that you may want to consider next time an animal comes into your line of vision or space. What is the first word that comes into your mind when you read the words below? Do they fit with the ones I have given or did your word feel better to you?

Dogs- friendship, loyalty, unconditional love

Cats- independence, freedom, march to your own drums

Rabbits- timid, shy, fertility, abundance, growth

Crows- Spiritual laws, intelligence

Horses- Power, freedom, inner strength

Butterfly- Transformation

Are you starting to realize that when we use our intuition we are really operating without a safety net? There is no logic, common sense to this. Know that what you sense, feel, perceive and dream has some meaning. There is always a reason we notice what we do and that we don't notice everything else.

The same object viewed by two people can mean two very different things. Just allow your meanings of the symbols to come to you, and this may take time. It also takes an open mind, even if at first you have to pretend that the symbols are significant. Allow things to be meaningful and they become meaningful.

Exercise 3

Start an intuition notebook and write your experiences in a book. Write on how some daily or other impressions you had may have answered your question.

• Practice on things like; who is on the other line when the phone rings?

• Which elevator will arrive first?

• Will the next traffic light be green, red or yellow?

• Focus on a call you would like to receive from someone and you will suddenly hear from them!

• If the doorbell rings and you're not expecting anyone, who do you think it is?

You'll be amazed at how accurate your "guesses " can be.

As little children we had no trouble pretending. Pretending often precedes faith and before we know it, we no longer need to pretend.

If we insist on our experience of the world making sense, we will deprive ourselves of valuable intuitive data. You must be willing to make mistakes. When you follow your intuition you will gain a feeling of power and energy and more importantly a wonderful spiritual connectedness to all things in your life.

Carl Jung's Dream Theories
By Christina Sponias

Jung believed that the human psyche was divided in two parts-the conscious and the unconscious mind.

According to Jung, the center of the human psyche should not be considered the person's ego. Instead the center is the Self, which contains more than the conscious content. The Self is the completion of the human psyche, after someone has developed all of his or her psychological functions.

The unconscious mind is divided in personal and collective distinctions. The personal part contains someone's individual experiences, while the collective part has general content existent in all human beings. The collective part is represented in dreams by the archetypes, which are symbols that appear in everyone's dreams, in all historical times and civilizations.

The main dream symbols that appear in everyone's dreams according to Jung's statements are:

1. The Persona-This is the image that the individual presents to the world, like a social mask. The persona would reflect the person's social position, profession, and status quo.

2. The Shadow-This is the part of the human psyche that is not developed yet. The shadow contains positive and negative characteristics, depending on someone's personal evolution.

3. The Animus or Anima-This is the image of the ideal type of man for a woman, or the ideal type of woman for a man. The animus, or anima, is an idol, but could represent a real person of the person's environment.

Carl Jung concluded that each dreamer who decides to discover the content existent in his or her own psyche through the interpretation of dreams would make a trip to the Self.

Jung managed to prove to the world that our dreams follow a sequence, helping everyone evolve as they learn more about the content of their psyche. This is how people are transformed and start to accept other aspects of life, which they were not able to absorb before the dream analysis.

We have four psychological functions-thoughts, feelings, sensations, and intuition. The more developed of the functions in someone's psyche will determine his or her psychological type.

In addition to the four functions, everyone has a certain attitude that will characterize them as extroverted or introverted. The extroverted psychological types will always agree with the general opinion about reality, while the introverted psychological types will always have their personal opinion, which will usually be totally different from the general consensus.

Continuing Jung's research in the unknown region of the human psyche, I can verify that his theories are correct with the exception of his belief that the unconscious mind contains negative aspects. Instead, it is another part of the human psyche, the primitive side of the human conscience, which concentrates all the negative characteristics of someone's personality. Therefore, Jung's theory concerning the negative segments of our mind is absurd because the primitive side was not developed like the human part of our conscience and provokes all existent mental illnesses to the human side of our conscience. The unconscious part of our being is only wise.

Everyone can transform the negative and dangerous part of their psyche in a positive part of their human side by translating their dreams according to the scientific method, and following the directions of the wise unconscious mind that produces our dreams.

Christina Sponias continued Carl Jung's research into the human psyche, discovering the cure for all mental illnesses, and simplifying the scientific method of dream interpretation that teaches you how to exactly translate the meaning of your dreams, so that you can find health, wisdom and happiness.

Hypnosis: Fact or Fiction?

Hypnosis Fact and Fiction

Author: Veda Kalidas

There are many misconceptions of what hypnosis is. Most of these misconceptions are perpetuated by the popular media. The truth is, hypnosis has been used throughout history and continues to be used today, both legitimately and fraudulently. I decided to write this article to clarify just what hypnosis is exactly and what it is not for inquiring minds and to help those that could truly benefit from the true, legitimate practice of hypnosis.

I will start by addressing the misconceptions of hypnosis and tell you WHAT HYPNOSIS IS NOT. Hypnosis is not a form of mind control despite its portrayal in movies as such… you know, the guy dressed in the black tuxedo with big, bushy eyebrows that can swing his pocket watch as a pendulum before people’s eyes to make them cluck like chickens upon the snap of his fingers… No, hypnosis is not capable of taking over another’s free will. Hypnosis is not brainwashing and is not capable of controlling a person’s behavior and judgment. Hypnosis is not caused by the hypnotist’s “power”, as this would allude to the possibility of “mind control” of which there is no hard scientific evidence.

It is also a big misconception that hypnosis is possible only upon weak-minded individuals. In actuality the ability to enter a hypnotic state has nothing to do with one’s intelligence. The hypnotic state can be reached by any individual through self-hypnosis techniques however the ability to be hypnotized by an outside party (hypnotist) is dependent more upon genetic factors. Neither is hypnosis dependent upon individuals with vivid and overactive imaginations.

Hypnosis as a process is not necessarily time-consuming nor does it require the subject to be completely relaxed. And although named for the god of sleep, hypnosis is not sleep. According to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, hypnosis is “a trancelike state that resembles sleep but is induced by a person whose suggestions are readily accepted by the subject”.

Now I will delve into what hypnosis is and real world applications of hypnosis. There is a plethora of ways in which hypnosis has been and still is used today in treating mental, physical and social problems.

Hypnosis is used to treat obesity, anxiety, depression, phobias, fears and habits such as quitting smoking. Hypnosis is used to alleviate the pain associated with cancer and other chronic illnesses. Hypnosis is also used in dentistry (hypnodontia) to decrease anxieties and make patients feel more comfortable with the dental experience. Hypnosis is used to treat skin diseases through a practice known as hypnodermatology.

Mental health applications of hypnosis include the treatment of dissociative disorders, depression and PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder). Hypnosis is used in the educational field to increase memory and learning capacity as well as focus and energy. Hypnosis is also used to improve self-esteem and confidence.

Altered states of consciousness such as relaxation, meditation and sleep have been achieved through hypnosis. Self-hypnosis with binaural beat audio is used to achieve states allowing for astral projection, remote viewing, past life regression, ESP and telepathy. Of interesting note, binaural beats have been used by top secret members of the US government to utilize remote viewing tactics.

Hypnosis has been used in the past to suppress pain during medical procedures before the advent of chemical pain killers and anesthesia. And let us not forget a very important use of hypnosis… entertainment. Unfortunately entertainment is one of the prime sources leading to the many misconceptions involved with hypnosis.

Despite the misconceptions of hypnosis perpetuated through popular culture and the entertainment industry, hypnosis remains a powerful tool that continues to be used today in the medical, mental health and self-help fields to help people to live better, live longer and enhance their lives.

If you are interested in learning more about using hypnosis to achieve altered states quickly and easily to enhance your life, you may want to look into brainwave entrainment. Brainwave entrainment is the process of using audio frequencies, called binaural beats, to achieve altered states of consciousness. Binaural beats can achieve almost any state of consciousness in about 5-10 minutes. Binaural beats are available for relaxation, meditation, sleep, astral projection, ESP, telepathy, remote viewing, past life regression as well as quitting smoking, losing weight, increasing energy and confidence and enhancing healing power.

The Simple Truth About Hypnosis

Just What Is The Simple Truth About Hypnosis?

Author: Alan Densky

Thanks to stage and television, most people have a lot of misconceptions about hypnosis. That's too bad because hypnotherapy is a modality that can help many people to make the changes that they've been struggling with. So I'm going to clarify just what the simple truths are about hypnosis.

The Definition Of Self Hypnosis:
Hypnotism is a state of hyper-suggestibility where the conscious mind and the subconscious dissociate. It is a state of consciousness where the hypnotized client is more likely to agree to the Hypnotist's suggestions.

You have been in hypnosis many times in your life without even realizing it. If you've ever watched a sad television show and reacted with a tear in your eye, you have been in the hypnotic state. You entered a state of amplified suggestibility where you uncritically accepted the suggestion of gloom on the TV screen and reacted with a sad emotion, your tear. In other words, your ability to reason, which is controlled by your conscious mind, was bypassed. You did not reason that the show was just a play; you accepted the action as being genuine. So you reacted with real passion and shed a tear.

Who Can Be Placed In Hypnosis?
Hypnotherapists have found that all normal people are hypnotizable to a greater or lesser extent. Subjects with less than a 70 I.Q. generally can't be hypnotized. People who are actively psychotic by and large cannot be hypnotized. Most senile people are difficult to hypnotize. I have found in my own hypnotherapy practice dealing with a large number of retired people up to 85 years of age, that self hypnosis is a potent and beneficial technique for most people. A person's motivation is the key to his or her success.

Do I Have To Be A "Deep" Subject For Success?
For the curative applications of self hypnosis we most often deal with, hypnotic depth of any kind is not required. You can be the lightest possible subject and still obtain all of the benefits from self hypnosis that the deepest subjects will obtain. I believe that over the years, far too much importance has been placed on how deep a subject is. If the hypnotic subject is deep, it could be of benefit. This however, may not necessarily be the case. In fact, with the latest hypnotic methods like Ericksonian self hypnosis and state of the art "NLP" (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), hypnotic depth is one of the least imperative aspects, which contribute to success.

Are There Any Dangers In Self Hypnosis?
There are on the whole no dangers to the practice of self hypnosis. It is impossible to "get stuck" in self hypnosis. The most awful thing that could possibly happen while a patient is in the hypnotic state is that she might fall into a natural state of sleep for 20 or 30 minutes. She would wake up rested and no longer in a state of self-hypnosis.

Misconceptions About The Hypnotic State:
There are many misnomers about self hypnosis. Most of them can be attributed to stage and television shows. As luck would have it, it's on account of the fact that the television can hypnotize you that these misnomers are so strongly ingrained in people's minds.

Is Self Hypnosis A State Of Sleep?
The largest misconception about self hypnosis is that it's a state of sleep. Not anything could be further from the truth. If you are asleep, you are unconscious. If you are unconscious, you cannot hear anything. If you cannot hear anything, then the hypnotist cannot help you. Hypnosis is a state of keen awareness. The subject is wide-awake and aware of everything around her. This misconception comes from the stage Hypnotist's use of the word "sleep" as equivalent to a state of hypnosis. When the old time hypnotist swung a pocket watch in front of his subject's face, he told his subject that she was getting "sleepy." Then he told his subject to "go to sleep." What he meant was to go into a hypnotic sleep, not a natural sleep.

Is There A Hypnotized Feeling?
The second largest misconception is that there is a hypnotized feeling. There is no hypnotized feeling. I repeat there is no hypnotized feeling. Most people feel very relaxed when in the hypnotic state, as relaxation seems to be the essence of hypnosis. Some people feel heavy. Some people feel light. Some people have other sensations and feelings. Other people have absolutely no feeling that they are in a state of hypnosis, and believe they haven't been hypnotized when they most definitely have.

Can The Hypnotherapist Control Me?
NO! The hypnotist cannot make you do anything against your will. There is always an observing ego state. Should the therapist make an offensive suggestion; this ego state would reject that suggestion. Additionally, you will probably come out of the hypnotic state if the hypnotherapist makes an offensive suggestion.

Can The Therapist Force Me To Divulge My Secrets?
You will not give up any secrets while in a state of hypnosis unless you want to do so. The hypnotist does not have any control over the subject. Quite the contrary, the subject has more control over herself since at this time she can directly communicate with her own subconscious. The subject can easily decline any suggestion the hypnotist makes, no matter how simple or complicated the suggestion might be. The subject can open her eyes, exit from the state of self hypnosis, and walk out of the room at any time she chooses.

Must People Tell The Truth When In The Hypnotic State?
No! People can lie when in a state of self hypnosis.

Do Hypnotists Have Special Powers?
This is a common misnomer. The hypnotist does not have any special powers, nor does he have any special vibrations with which to hypnotize you into the state of hypnosis. Actually, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. The hypnotist leads the subject into a state of hypnotism. In other words, the ability of self hypnosis is within the subject.

Why Do People Fail To Reach Their Goals When Using Hypnosis?
Perhaps the largest reason for the failure to reach one's goals through self-hypnosis is an inadequate amount of practice where self-hypnosis is concerned.

The largest reason for the return of a symptom or "relapse" is the early discontinuance of self hypnosis with the Hypnotherapist or recorded program. While self-hypnosis is important, it is generally the hetero-hypnosis with the hypnotist or hypnosis recording which has the greatest impact upon the subconscious.

This is because of the training and experience that the hypnotist has vs. the lack of training and experience of the client. Some people are penny wise and pound-foolish. They mentally set an amount of time that they are willing to spend for help. And then they prematurely cut off their sessions because; "I didn't lose 50 Lbs. in two days, so it isn't working."

If a therapeutic method is really helping one to make their desired changes, then it is priceless and it should be continued. It is for this reason that it is wise to have follow up self hypnosis sessions, even after a symptom seems to have disappeared completely. Self-hypnosis should be an ongoing affair on a daily basis. Ultimately, YOUR SUCCESS IS UP TO YOU!

Will I Be Better Off Hiring A Hypnotist, Or Will Purchasing A Recorded Program Work Better?
That is a wonderful question. Normally I would recommend that you employ the services of a reputable hypnotist. The reason is that by meeting with you, a good hypnotist / NLP'er will be able to customize his approach to your personality and your favored representational system -- the way you favor taking in information through your senses to make sense out of it and react to it.

In my opinion, ninety-nine percent of the recorded self hypnosis CDs available at this time are based on Traditional Hypnosis, and consist of only one or maybe two sessions of it at that. Traditional Hypnosis is nothing more than a set of direct commands: "If you eat a brownie you'll barf." "You won't have cravings and urges," etc.. This technology has an exceptionally poor track record of success because the people in our generation have been trained to question everything. That's why you, your friends, and your kids usually do the opposite of what they are told to do. This is called a polarity response.

That being said, having sessions with any hypnotist / NLP'er who has enough experience to be able to actually help you can cost a great deal of money. There are some hypnotic programs available on the Internet based on Ericksonian Hypnosis and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) that have overcome those shortcomings. They've managed this by utilizing a mix of Ericksonian Hypnosis, NLP, Traditional Hypnosis, and the highly regarded Video Hypnosis technology.

These are all methods that are designed to do away with the resistance factor. In fact, Video Hypnosis and the NLP technology that it's based on do not utilize suggestion at all. These technologies rely on using the thought processes that have created a problem, to eliminate it!

Look for vendors who offer these technologies in multi-session products. These are programs that generally have six to eight different hypnosis or NLP sessions, so the subject is exposed to a broad range of technologies. It takes a lot of work to make this type of program, but the high success rates achieved are well worth the effort.

Stay away from the "one size fits all" -- "do-or-die" self hypnosis CDs and downloads. Many are attracted to these programs because they are inexpensive, usually under ten dollars. But is it cheap if it just wastes your valuable time and doesn't work?

If you order a program and it doesn't work, then you get guarded and start to expect the next approach to fail. And you get what you expect. Do you really think that the same exact commands will work for everyone? Do you think that they will work for you? Do you typically do exactly as you are told to do? Or do you usually feel a desire to do the opposite of what you are told to do?

"The Active Brain..."

The Active Brain (T.A.B.): Cognitive Activities For Your Mind
By Dr. Kheti A. Sahure, D.D., Msc.D.

ABSTRACT: With all of the stressors weighing upon so many people within everyday life along with the daily and mindless mundane factors pinging at all of us in today’s world, there is no wonder why so many human beings are at their wits end. You have your work environment, your children, your family, your in-laws, your friends, you co-workers, your bosses at work (and at home and during your so-called off-time from work or just plain old personal time at home or wherever), and colleagues pinging at you constantly at you for your attention all of the time—and in no certain order, this just happens. What a balancing act! What a daily, nonstop balancing act for the single parent both male and female let alone two or more parent household. For the average adult female or male, this IS NOT your fault entirely. Yes, this essay is about American society of today and what you can do in order to help soothe your Active Brain or what the Antiquus Research Group has termed—“The Active Brain” or "T.A.B."

In order to help and keep your mental faculties and neuro synapses (i.e., brain cell connectivity and networking) healthy and attuned within your physical body or framework, you will want to include mental activities and exercises which will complement your current daily physical, mental, and or spiritual exercises. If you have not started any of these—no problem. It is never too late to begin this process slowly and at your own pace within you level of comfort or comfort zone. The purpose here IS NOT to beat up anyone ever about her or his stage of their own personal Life Cycle. This essay is all about helping you to on your own level to bring about the best in you based upon YOUR OWN abilities. This essay is not about rewarding mediocrity let alone judging folks from their prenatal through their elderhood rites or stages of passages because everyone’s experiences are valid! Lastly, there is nothing to sell you…or for you to pay for.

Let us begin here.

Since many people throughout history do not or have not had the opportunity to use their God or Goddess given brain matter "ever" or at least for themselves, everyone should consider keeping their brain active. The mental stimuli you receive from your external and internal environments are an eclectic mixture of positive, negative, and pure chaotic madness for many people daily. You get a chance to go to bed and then, hopefully, get some rest from the machinations of the mundane world. Most of us do not get an adequate number of hours of rest and this does include our children. There is no real scientific evidence that any human can "catch up" on the loss of significant "REM Sleep" (i.e., Deep Sleep¹) during the weekends or during our time off from the work schedule. Yes, there are studies which have been conducted on humans but nothing has prevailed from theses studies as being conclusive. Sleep research does cost a great deal of money to conduct as any modality of research.

Please take a very close look at who was selected to participate in any research study. And you will agree that it is very challenging to obtain a very serious cross-section of people for any type of research study. But for some reason in the United States of America, the judicial system does not seem to have this problem of finding "a jury of one’s own peers"…. Taking nothing away from the Doctors of Jurisprudence (i.e., J.D. degree), these folks are just doing their job or it’s just "legal" business as usual within the chaotic judicial system of America.

Not to go off on a geometric tangent either. The above contribute to our topic about the "The Active Brain".

Here are at least twelve ways you may be able to help your brain continue and increase its Active Memory Capacity let alone help your brain continue to be very active toward your later years of your Life Cycle. Since this is very personal for everyone, you will be the one who decides or defines what you are interested in learning and what you will want to do in order to keep your brain cells actively growing as your move onward during your life:

1. Continuous learning.
2. Everyday learning including musical and fine art endeavors.
3. Learn a new language (e.g., a foreign language and or a computer language).
4. Work with challenging to very difficult puzzles.
5. Exercise you mind with mathematics (e.g., from simple math through calculus).
6. Teach yourself how-to do something new that you have always wanted to learn.
7. Go to or back to school.
8. Engage in or play challenging sports and games.
9. Participate in activities with your family and friends outdoor.
10. Travel locally often (i.e., even if it is to a park near your home).
11. Daily meditation.
12. Bring your own form of "spirituality" into whatever you do daily.

The above are not in any particular order so that you can begin at any point or create your own path to actively engage your brain.

Your brain does require a positive blood supply (flow) which includes a very adequate amount of oxygen in order for it to function properly. The Active Brain must continue to create active connections between neighboring brain cells. Brain cells are a network of neurons and neural activities. The more you increase brain activity, the more you develop new brain cells and increase the usage of neighboring brains cells that are less used. Think about Shamanism, Divination, Astral Projection, Cosmology, Astrology, etc. You can increase your brain power and memory by attuning and then exercising your four types of brainwaves: Alpha, Beta, Theta, and Delta in conjunction with your Chakras (all 88,000 of them—most folks work with the seven main or chakras or "energy centers" of the human body). Please do not forget about or ignore the energy centers of your animals and or pets because you can work with them in order to heal yourself as well as them (e.g., Reiki).

Stimulate your mind (brain) with open-mindedness and positive influences (such as, images) and challenging materials daily. Investing in your own mental enhancement will, hopefully, bring about increased cognitive vitality and many excellent cumulative effects throughout you life experiential within our planet Earth.

Prayer Request Volunteers Needed

Greetings everyone,

The Temple of Kemetic Wicca needs LEGALLY ORDAINED CLERGY who are willing to volunteer their time and spiritual gifts for free in an effort to support the Temple's Prayer Requests that come in often at the Temple's Prayer and Blessing request page:

http://www.templeofkemeticwicca.org/prayer_request.html

During the last several holiday seasons (Samhain and Yule), there were a lot of requests for prayers and blessings during this time from people who are not connected with us. I have never asked anyone on any of my eGroups for money and, hopefully, never will. I have serious issues with charging money for spiritual services. Yes, the Temple does have a donation schedule web page (http://www.templeofkemeticwicca.org/donation_schedule.html) because there are people out there who are just TAKERS (not givers) and who just enjoy usurping anything they think and can get for free; the donation schedule is more of a deterrent for those who are not serious. We all have studied and practiced our Crafts long and hard over many years--and this ought to be respected! Everyone's time, spiritual energies, and gifts from the Divinities are highly valuable. And this MUST be respected! JUST BECAUSE WE DO NOT FOLLOW THE MAINSTREAM religious theologies, we are still CLERGY (priests, priestesses, ministers, shamans, and so forth). We are well-educated, well-read, well-practiced, and very learned enough to offer this service to our Pagan communities globally.

Moreover, I feel that we all must nurture our Alternative Spiritual communities as many other faiths do. Yes, I mean PAGAN communities because we are village dwellers who take care of our own! I ask for legally ordained clergy because of the severe religious intolerance issues within the USA that prevail and that we all face whether anyone wishes to come out of their denial phase or not that this exists.

As everyone should know by now, the Temple DOES NOT allow SPELL BEGGING! If someone needs a spell or ritual request, then they need to visit a source that will happily perform random spells for the general public. I just do not want the KARMA or NEGATIVE energy from performing public spells and rituals associated with the Temple or our eGroup! This is not to say that I will not help someone who is truly in dire straits either.

As a Hereditary Witch, myself, I know that being legally ordained is truly a crock of doo-doo. But there are governing bodies within the USA and these agencies are always looking for all Pagans to mess up.

For those who do not know where to contact the Temple of Kemetic Wicca to sign up for this spiritual endeavor:

All in all, you may perform your prayer and/or blessing request from any Alternative Spiritual path that you wish. However, I do prefer that you do not accept any donations. I will outline the Temple's guidelines for those individuals who apply.

Thank you in advance for your help!

Em hotep & Blesséd Be,
