Biology, Happiness, Oracio and Nostalgia

I am working on an article for the February issue of the Happiness Newsletter. As I am dealing with a bit of clutter in my office space. I went out to the garden for some fresh air and practiced my breathing exercises;

Inhale slowly and deeply the mindful energy of CALM. Hold it. Exhale slowly through your mouth the energy of clutter and allow anything else that your mind and heart are ready to let go of, to come out, to reveal itself to you. Use your diaphragm muscles to push air out slowly and through your mouth. Once more inhale slowly and deeply the mindful energy of SPACE and BALANCE. Hold it. Exhale slowly through your mouth tension and any other negative emotions that you are feeling in your body. I practiced these breathing exercises for about two minutes, each one of them, and twice. I then looked up to the sky and began to use my imagination to visualize memories of the happiest moments in my life, I closed my eyes and allowed each of these memories to fill me up until I began to feel good, then I felt a little more optimistic, then free and joyful and then very happy. By the time that I achieved this state of happiness I opened my eyes and felt stronger and my energy has shifted considerably. I have then connected the heart to the mind and my mind had achieved a state of clarity.

Now I am better ready to write a wonderful article. I returned to the office feeling this amazing state of happiness that helped me to achieved clarity of thought and a sense of freedom. Pain is resistance and my breathing cultivation helped me to release negative emotion, tension and to shift my focus of attention.

Hello everyone, I want to introduce you to my dear friend Oracio. This morning I saw Oracio in the kitchen and I was observing how Oracio made a left turn or a right turn while exploring the kitchen counter. I noticed that he paused and waited, sort of like problem solving, and that there was some cuing involved sensing the environment around. The environment is our extended body. Oracio was paying attention to vibrations, heat or light (energy), to smell, to hear, to proceed or to stop. I then had the most wonderful realization, Oracio can make CHOICES and those are like an impulse that moves Oracio to want to, to better and more. The impulse is an unstoppable freedom that came from within Oracio, the very happy and curious ant in my kitchen. Ants are symbols of cooperation, determination, patience, perseverance, order, team work, unity and expansion. Oracio happens to have the divine gift of creativity so all light beings too. How grateful I am because Oracio is in my life. Oracio brings a smile to my face and it uplifts my vibration, too.

I want to elaborate further on the concept of "the environment as our extended body" and on how important is to be mindful of the energy that we live in, that surrounds us, our space, our relationships and the energy of our HOME. We live in our body, our home is our body. The THOUGHTS that we CHOOSE to think are energy that influences our body and generate brain chemicals "neurotransmitters" that travel throughout our body firing up chemical messages and those are the EMOTIONS that we feel. We first think a thought and then we feel an EMOTION. This is very good to know because this means that when we choose happy memories or happy thoughts, when we intentionally choose our self-talk, we can influence our health and well being at a cell level.  In a sense we are more electrical beings than what we think or know about and the thoughts that we think and the emotions that we feel influence our human biology, our immune system and generative biology or computational biology which stimulate cell behavior. Our CHOICES of THOUGHTS affect our generative shape model and this is covered by the science of Evolutionary Biology. How good it is to know that we can create ourselves, that we can master to focus thoughts, energy and to perfume the cells of our body choosing thoughts and emotions intentionally. Each Spiritual Human Being is a community of 50 trillion living cells. There is not one function in the human body that is not already present in every single cell.

Over the years in my work with elders and their caregivers, in Geriatrics and Gerontology, I have designed and implemented therapeutic interventions to craft better health and a better quality of life into being. The free choices of happiness, optimism, positive expectation and positive emotions to shift focus-of-attention from the-lack-of or from the present circumstances of resistance, dis-ease or negative emotion have been instrumental boosting human bodies' capacity for healing, well being, for strength and vitality. 

Positive emotions like happiness and love are too vibrations, subtle bio-energy that flows through the life force that is also known as Chi, Qi. In 2011 I completed my studies in Chinese Energy Medicine focusing on Medical QiGong and Taoist Meditation. Every light form, vibrates. Qi or life force can be measured in Hertz as electromagnetic vibrational frequencies. Each atom and molecule in the Universe, in all forms of life has specific vibratory motions. Each periodic motion has a frequency, a number of oscillations per second that can be measured in Hertz. In Medical QiGong we craft and use intentional energy to move, transform and evolve energy as a way of healing all aspects of health; emotional, physical, mental social, vocational and spiritual which encompasses All There Is. 

Love is the strongest form of vibration that exists and the average vibrational frequency of love is 528 Hertz, this is central to the “musical mathematical matrix of creation.” LOVE frequency resonates at the heart of every light form that exist, visible or invisible to the human eye. All forms of life are interconnected. All Spiritual Human beings can choose, like Oracio, to live IN love, to give birth to love, to craft love into being with the choices of their thoughts, their emotions, their speech, their actions, their life style. We can also choose love as a way of self-talk practicing self-appreciation.  Our “intent” must be deeply, personally and sincerely engaged, where pure positive energy of "the heart", LOVE, is felt and expressed by our creative life force, Qi, perfuming our whole template of energy at a cell level. We can say that to live IN love, to love ourselves, to take-actions-IN-love, to allow our thoughts and emotions to be born in the premise of love is the most important form of healing and well-being for humanity and for our planet Earth. To choose happiness is an act of self-love. :)  To choose love is to craft happiness into being.

This month of February fall-in-love with YOU. Let's us activate the crafting of happiness and love as a form of self-love and love for others, to live intentionally nurturing our environment, our dear planet Earth and evolving our spiritual humanity, mindfully.

Love gives birth to life.
Love is never IN danger.
Love is freedom and happiness.
Love never cease to call us forward.
Love loves.

Here we go again... more clutter. I am yearning, craving for marshmallows. I think that I am having an episode of Type III Cravings, the most severe form of craving. It is known as "associative cravings" and it is my mind explaining itself to me... "you did it." :) Associative cravings are the most difficult to deal with because it is uncertain about whether they're beneficial or not and the will power surrenders completely. This is a case of Biology and Nostalgia. I have enjoyed writing this article for all of you immensely. :)

May you be blessed again,
Katherine :)
