This is not a commercial or anything, but I have a recommendation–a little unsolicited advice, perhaps.

. . . . . . . . . .

I paid for Netflix for mostly no reason for a lot of years. It figured out that I’m not in the USA, so almost everything I tried to watch gave me back a message that this isn’t available in my area. And yes, VPNs, but I never managed to succeed at that. So I discontinued Netflix and subscribed to Gaia.  Best move ever.  I’m not saying you will love it as much as I do, but…you might.  Costs about the same as Netflix.  And it will trip you out and not fill you with mental junk food. 

Recommending you try it.  Start with the movie called Secret of Water.  Then move along to the Divine Science series, or the one called Rewired.  Or Missing Links.  If you like alien life forms and such, there is plenty there for you on that, too, although that’s not my area of greatest interest.  I’m a more Here and Now kind of girl.

Here are a few take-aways to ponder:

Turns out happiness is good for you.  And if you can’t be happy right now, that’s ok.  Pretend you are.  Your brain doesn’t distinguish between what you imagine and “real life,” so you can start reaping some of the happy-people benefits even if you’re actually sad or grumpy.  Isn’t that awesome?

And there’s another thing.  It’s about Time.  We draw timelines to express time, but I’ve always felt certain that time doesn’t really go in a line.  And what do you know—it doesn’t.  In fact, “time” is basically a function of us being stuck on a spinning planet with a sun and all.  If you go away from Earth out into the rest of the universe, seconds and minutes and weeks and years cease to have any meaning.  You don’t even have to go into outer space.  Get on a transatlantic flight and see what happens to your timeline.  Ha.

And plants.  This is another one I’ve “known” without knowing.  Just because something doesn’t have a brain doesn’t mean it has no awareness.  Scientists hooked a plant up to a machine that reads electromagnetic signals the way a lie detector does.  They played different types of music to the plant to see how it responded.  As it responded differently to different types of music, the experimenter thought, “Gee I wonder what would happen if I took my lighter and burned one of the leaves.”  And the plant flipped out.  It sent out electromagnetic stress signals the way you do when you tell lies.  The guy didn’t even do anything—he just thought about it.  Huh.  

Or this one.  Your heart has neurons and it can “think.”  We all know that our heart and brain don’t agree sometimes—turns out this is no metaphor, it’s the literal truth.  Who knew?  Not only that, but your heart knows things before they even happen.  It’s like it hears the thunder before the rain starts falling.  They (scientists, not the Gaia people) did an experiment where they hooked people up to machines that monitored their hearts and brains, and they flashed random images on a screen.  Some images were boring, some funny, some disturbing.  And the human heart reacted to the disturbing images not only before the brain, but in the seconds before the actual image appeared on the screen.

Again:  huh. 

Curious yet?  Seriously.  Watch Secret of Water.

I’m hoping I’ll be a better blogger.  That said, I suppose I could not be worse than I have been for the last while.

I had a psychic reading recently, and he told me I should write because my stories are good and people like them.  Hahahaha.  And that I give good advice and can help people to heal.  Lovely things to be told, and I hope all of them are or will be true. 

I’m leaving for a trip to Italy in a few days.  I’m also about to start building a house.  So there will certainly be stories to tell.
