In United Nations today, official asks researcher to help fight hunger

Phil — Mon, 30 Jul 2012 20:18:09 +0000

At the United Nations today, diplomats and foreign policy experts know that everything in life must be balanced (a principle we emphasize in guided meditation). People of all countries need to be nourished in mind and in spirit, but also, quite critically, in body. That is why an official at the UN is asking scientists to help mitigate poverty and hunger in developing countries.

"One of the great challenges we have today is to use academic knowledge to understand and improve the life of rural populations throughout the world," said Graziano da Silva, director-general of the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization. "To do so, we need to look at the reality outside of university walls," he added.

In an address to the World Congress of Rural Sociology, delivered in Lisbon, Portugal, da Silva pointed to several factors that health scientists may consider when trying to revitalize food production worldwide. These included the security of foodstuffs, nutritional insufficiencies, the safety of certain products and the unfair advantage enjoyed by large farming groups over small or solo farms.

Clearly, the world needs help attaining not only peace of mind, but also nourishment of the body. The UN is asking scientists to help, while Eastern philosophers and meditation experts are doing their part to help humanity reconnect mind and body.

Consider consciousness raising activities this summer vacation

Phil — Fri, 29 Jun 2012 15:28:34 +0000

For most people summer vacation means activity. They try to cram many different activities – possibly even extensive travelling – into their one week off. However, individuals may want to think this summer about spending some time trying to reach a higher consciousness.

It can be very difficult to find the time during everyday life to meditate or practice yoga. There are always family responsibilities and of course more work to be done. These things not only take up time, but they also rob people of their mental vigor and vitality. Even if it is possible to find a few minutes at the end of each day to meditate, most people simply don't have the energy.

That is why people should consider taking advantage of their time off to engage in these types of consciousness raising activities. Spending portions of each day meditating for an entire week may help individuals develop habits that continue past the vacation.

Everyday life does not typically accommodate consciousness raising activities. This is why individuals need to take advantage of the opportunities that come up to make the most of their own minds.

A higher consciousness may help you battle high blood pressure

In certain cases, an individual's high blood pressure has less to do with physiological factors than it does mental issues. For instance, constant worriers may find that they have elevated readings, even if they have a normal body weight.

While it's always important for individuals with cardiovascular problems to consult with a physician, there are some things you can do on your own to help obtain a normal blood pressure reading.

Through meditation, many people have found a higher consciousness that allows them to worry less and focus more on positive thoughts and memories. This kind of mind-strengthening can have a spill-over effect and potentially lead to a healthier body as well.

Moreover, consciousness raising requires relatively simple actions, such as focusing on the present moment, continuing education, avoiding negative thoughts and being aware of the thoughts and feelings of others.

It may not work for everyone, but meditation comes without side effects, so it may be worth a try to see if this holistic healing method works for you.

Peace of mind can be achieved through good living

Phil — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 17:46:33 +0000

Perhaps the most intuitive way to reach peace of mind is by ridding yourself of negative thoughts, and this can be easy to do if you make a conscious effort each day to do right by yourself and others.

Treating yourself well means getting plenty of exercise, eating regular, balanced meals and practicing mind-body exercises like yoga and meditation. All of these efforts combined are powerful at strengthening a person's overall well-being.

Being good to those around you can entail simply listening to others, as well as more significant efforts, like helping out an elderly neighbor with yard work or delivering meals to struggling friends and loved ones.

Finding peace may be as easy as living a life in which you promote your own wellness and are caring about other people's health and happiness.

Author and philosopher Ilchi Lee has written many books on the subject of finding peace and reaching enlightenment through good health and universal love. Additionally, the trailblazer believes that mind-body practices like yoga and meditation can assist people in their journeys toward personal growth.

Many books and resources can contribute to consciousness raising

Phil — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:34:12 +0000

There are many things people can do to encourage a change in global consciousness. Getting people to think more about loving their fellow man, living a healthy lifestyle and taking care of the planet can be as easy as striking up a conversation.

Moreover, today's technology-driven world allows individuals to take to the blogosphere to spread their ideas of love and harmony to potentially millions of people all over the world.

Joining peace groups can also help in this effort, as these organizations have made significant strides in encouraging love and unity while shunning negative movements.

One way people can contribute to a wide-scale consciousness shift is by reading the teachings of intuitives and philosophers – like Dahn Yoga founder Ilchi Lee – and discussing these ideas with others.

Lee's latest book, The Call of Sedona: Journey of the Heart, was recently named one of the New York Times' Best Sellers, meaning that Lee's message has already reached a huge audience.

Individuals who want to make the world a better place are already helping to do so just by thinking positive thoughts, but a more united planet will also take action.

Peace of mind is within reach

Phil — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:22:35 +0000

For many people, happiness is a just barely unattainable goal because they are unable to clear their mind of negative ideas and worries. Moreover, these ideas can cause stress in the body, which, over time, can lead to heart problems, slowed cognition and unexplained pains.

As such, peace of mind is a worthy goal for all people, especially those who find that their heads are usually clouded with negativity. So, how does one achieve a higher consciousness?

There are several ways in which individuals can expand their minds and clear their heads of distracting thoughts. One such avenue is through meditation, a technique in which practitioners strive to slow their thought process and focus on their breath.

Meditation has been touted for centuries as a way to develop a higher consciousness, improve physical and mental well-being and connect with one's own body.

Individuals may also want to consider reading books aimed at gaining peace of mind. Author and philosopher Ilchi Lee has penned literature that has helped many people attain a stronger sense of self and a clear head.

A higher consciousness is possible through meditation

Phil — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:07:55 +0000

You may find that it's all too easy to occupy your thoughts with the worries of yesterday or tomorrow. This is unfortunate for many reasons, not least of which is that it leads to a somewhat shallow consciousness.

When you're only thinking about events or details that cannot contribute to your growth, your scope of thinking has little opportunity to expand. However, many believe that reaching a higher consciousness is the result of years of meditation.

During meditation, the practitioner attempts to push aside the constant stream of thoughts going through their head. It may be difficult for beginners to achieve, so it's a good idea to aim to simply slow the thought process. Advanced meditators are able to achieve a completely calm mind.

It may take patience, as all good things do, but when you are able to find peace within your own head, you will find that it affects your entire being – mentally, physically and spiritually.

Author and philosopher Ilchi Lee has a number of books and instructional videos aimed at helping people get the most out of their meditation practice.

Finding peace requires a thorough search

Phil — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 18:41:25 +0000

There are lucky times when people stumble upon good fortune – whether it be finding a dollar on the sidewalk or narrowly avoiding catastrophe. However, finding peace is not so simple.

Attaining a more peaceful existence requires a consciousness shift, a change in the way one views themselves as well as those around them.

For example, many individuals have the instinct to view situations or other people in terms of flaws or conflicts that need to be corrected. While this kind of thinking may lead to problem-solving in certain instances, it can also overwhelm a person with negativity.

Finding peace is a matter of making a conscious effort to view everything you see in a positive light, no matter how glaring its negative aspects may be. This kind of mindset takes time and effort to fully attain, but once the benefits of hopeful living set in, you will see the true value of a peaceful mind.

Author and philosopher Ilchi Lee encourages all people to shift their consciousness toward positivity in an effort to make the planet a more unified place to live.

Higher consciousness may lead to peace on Earth

Reaching a higher consciousness can have many benefits. It can enable a person to view the aspects of their life more realistically and help make life's responsibilities a little easier to handle. However, it may also lead to a more peaceful planet.

Author and philosopher Ilchi Lee says that the only way to achieve peace on Earth is for everyone to realize that they are actually citizens of the planet and to put this allegiance ahead of their racial, religious or national identities. In order to reach this point many people around the world will have to develop new understandings of many things.

This type of advancement in thinking does not happen automatically. Individuals must work to raise their consciousness. Only then will it become clear that violence and conflict are actually extremely counterproductive, and peace is the only viable option.

The vast majority of wars and other types of conflicts are caused by people failing to realize how related they are to their fellow man. Only when populations across the globe reach the level of consciousness necessary to realize their interrelations can peace on Earth be achieved.

A global consciousness is needed to produce peace

Phil — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 16:30:00 +0000

In order for the nations of the world to end their conflicts and allow people to live in peace, there will need to be higher levels of cooperation between people from all walks of life. A global consciousness is needed to help people understand how to live in harmony.

This idea is the essence of author and philosopher Ilchi Lee's Earth Citizen idea. He says that the only way for the world to fully realize its potential for peace is for people to put aside their religious, national and ethnic identities. In place of these ideals, individuals should grasp the notion that we are all citizens of Earth, first and foremost.

When more people recognize this fact, there is a chance for peace on Earth. However, individuals will need to radically change the way they look at things. To accomplish this, a different type of awareness is needed. The people of the world will need to develop a global consciousness.

In pursuit of this ultimate goal, people should begin to give greater consideration to how their actions affect others. The more people adopt this type of attitude, the more it will spread throughout the society.
