Ovaries and Mammalian Longevity Again
Manipulating, removing, or transplanting ovaries has been shown to influence longevity in mammals - quite dramatically in the case of mice. Here are more examples, this time in dogs and humans: "The researchers collected and analyzed lifetime medical histories, ages and causes of death for 119 canine 'centenarians' - exceptionally long-lived Rottweiler dogs [and compared them] to a group of 186 Rottweilers that had usual longevity ... Like women, female dogs in our study had a distinct survival advantage over males. But taking away ovaries during the first four years of life completely erased the female survival advantage. We found that female Rottweilers that kept their ovaries for at least six years were four times more likely to reach exceptional longevity compared to females who had the shortest lifetime ovary exposure. ... The pet dog research [mirrors] the findings of the Nurses' Health Study published this summer by Dr. William Parker ... Parker's group studied more than 29,000 women who underwent a hysterectomy for benign uterine disease. The findings showed that the upside of ovary removal - protection against ovarian, uterine and breast cancer - was outweighed by increased mortality from other causes. As a result, longevity was cut short in women who lost their ovaries before the age of 50 compared with those who kept their ovaries for at least 50 years."

All About Sarah
Sarah arrives with long, straight blonde hair, but you can style her hair in a lot of different ways!
First things first: hair care for your doll will be easier with the proper tools!
We recommend using a round-tipped wire brush.
You will also need a small spray bottle filled with water. The best kind to use will be able to spray a very fine mist (instead of a strong jet).
Second, make sure to avoid heat and styling products on your doll's hair (and body)! Heated styling tools like hair dryers or straighteners and products like gels or mousses can permanently damage your doll.
Important Tips
OG dolls are always ready for fun and adventure. Just remember, the BEST kind of adventure for your OG Doll is in your imagination!
Your Our Generation doll has a cuddly, soft body that should not get wet. Pretend swimming is ok! But please do not submerse your doll in water.
OG dolls love pretending to play on the beach, but please make sure not to let your doll sit in the sun for too long. Exposure to heat of any kind can cause serious harm to your doll!
We know you will do everything you can to keep your doll happy and healthy.

Amit Aggarwal On The His Indian Couture Week 2018 Debut And More!
This designer tames fabrics to make sharp silhouettes, recycles plastic and industrial materials for his collections and introduces innovative weaves almost every season. Amit Aggarwal is redefining the modern bride, and is now all set to make his debut at The Indian Couture Week 2018. He will be presenting the Crystalis ( an amalgamation of crystal and Chrysalis) collection on the third day of fashion week.
His eponymous label is definitely one of the most forward-thinking brands in the country. He weaves magic as he transforms architecture, structure and fantasy into fashion. We caught up with Amit Aggarwal to have a conversation behind the scenes as he went about his fittings, tying up loose ends and knee deep in prep for his debut at India Couture Week. Keep scrolling to see what he had to say.
1. Tell us about the collection you will be presenting at ICW 2018?
Our 'Crystalis" Couture 2018 collection that we are presenting at the India Couture Week is deeply influenced by nature's awe-inspiring crystal formation phenomenon. We've highlighted bio-mimicked forms with jewel-toned embellishments that reflect the core inspiration. We collaborated with textile designer Tanira Sethi to create one-of-a-kind, engineered and embellished cashmere laces, meticulously knitted in France.
Sasha and Kabia Grewal of Outhouse have designed jewellery inspired by various complex crystalline structures and intricate organic forms such as that of the metallic chrysalis cocoon. All the jewellery pieces have been crafted using materials and metallic colours that blend effortlessly with our collection's colour palette.
2. This is your first time presenting at ICW. How is the experience any different from any other fashion shows?
With every show, I like to give an experience to the people who come and watch it. Every show resonates with the collection that we have to create and our 'Crystalis' Couture 2018 collection reflects a lot of opulence and grandeur which will be seen through the show.
3. Any pre-show rituals?
Breathe in and breathe out!
4. What inspired your collection?
It has been inspired by two wondrous natural phenomena, the formation of crystals at a molecular level and the enveloping of the metallic chrysalis around a butterfly cocoon. Both phenomena greatly resonate with our design process, one that's centred on forging unique materials together to create singular design units, and then repeating them to create complex patterns, textiles and intricate embroideries.
5. What research went behind these pieces?
We intensively studied crystal forms, and went into extensively detailing, down to microscopic forms, the textures of the crystals.
6. What are the key pieces of your collection?
The crystal-shaped laces with intricate glass beading, the new age-structured sarees are some of the key looks of the collection.
7. Tell us about the fabrics developed for this collection?
We have extensively fabricated all of our textiles at our studio through modern and traditional techniques in this collection. We also engineered and embellished cashmere draped pieces in collaboration with textile designer Tanira Sethi for our Couture 2018 collection.
8. Tell us about the textiles and crafts used in the clothes?
Experimental textiles, created using modern industrial materials applied through traditional Zardozi and Ari hand techniques, have been a hallmark of our couture designs in this collection.
9. How would you define your design aesthetic?
Our brand has an established tradition of creating designs by defining natural forms and articulating them through unique silhouettes and textiles. By weaving these contrasting forms, tactile qualities and patterns into distinctive silhouettes that are a mix of modern craftsmanship and sustainability, we have fabricated a unique design aesthetic.
10. Trends you think are going to be hit with brides this upcoming wedding season?
The new age-structured sarees.
11. Who are the women you love to dress?
Strong, independent, self-made women who are bold in their choices, and are ready to take risks.
12. Who according to you are the biggest style influencers?
Women I meet on a daily basis, they inspire me with their courage and their compassion.
13. Favourite colour for the season?
Metallic pink.
14. What is the one thing, you feel, can instantly make you look glamorous?
15. What is the best fashion secret you ever learned?
Binge and keep it black!
16. If you had to wear one thing for the rest of your life what would it be?
A black jockey t-shirt and a pair of black skinny denim.
17. What is next for you?
Meeting brides and interacting with the women that will be wearing this couture collection.

RSS Real Simple Syndication
Easiest way to get your head around RSS and feeds is to think in terms of traditional radio #smgps (1)
RSS makes your central content point (website, blog etc) like a radio station, with RSS broadcasting a virtual signal (aka a feed) 2 #smgps
People can then tune in to this RSS data signal and receive your RSS broadcast - often 'subscribing' to it for regular updates 3 #smgps
The RSS receiver is software - either a standalone 'Feed Reader' like Google Reader or built into something like a blog or Facebook 4 #smgps
RSS signal is received wherever the 'listener' chooses – allowing content to be easily syndicated + picked up in multiple locations 5 #smgps
RSS is therefore technological backbone of social media, allowing people to consume content wherever they want, whenever they want 6 #smgps
RSS enables marketers to easily distribute content to multiple locations - Facebook Fan Pages, Twitter, other sites, email etc 7 #smgps
People want to receive /share things. Marketers can use RSS to syndicate messages into different platforms and environments 8 #smgps
Highlight the RSS feed with the standard orange RSS graphic and make it easy for people to subscribe - and promote the feed!!! 9 #smgps
SM strategy suits lots of little rather than one big hit – take content to the consumer but use RSS to tie it all together 10 #smgps

So, I have a gtx 480, which is naturally a hot card, it idles at around 50 degrees Celsius, and the core clock idles at 50.6mhz, although when I happen to watch a Youtube video, my GPU cranks the core clock to 700.1mhz, which is the max, and the gpu idles at 74~ degrees. The GPU then clocks itself back down to idle and the temps fall back to 50~ degrees after the video is finished, I'm looking at my temperatures right now, and its been about 5 minutes after the end of a video and the temps are at 65 degrees and the core clock is at idle, it takes about 10 minutes for it to fall back to 50 degrees. The weird thing is that when I play a game, the temps arent even this bad, I just played a game, and the average temps were around 65-70 degrees. Anyone know what could be causing this? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
EDIT: Sorry about the spelling mistake in the title. I cant find a way to edit it.

A teenage dad has poisoned his son after a paternity row with the mother. The dad, aged 17, fed a tobacco pesticide into his son's mouth with a syringe and instantly killed him.
Manicaland deputy police spokesperson Assistant Inspector Luxson Chananda confirmed the death of the child and subsequent arrest of the father.
"I confirm that the child was (allegedly) poisoned on October 31, 2019 at home by his father," he said. The father appeared before Rusape magistrate Mr Obedience Matare on Saturday facing murder charges.
The Manica Post reports that the accused and his wife had a protracted dispute over the paternity of the child and were no longer sharing the same bedroom as husband and wife.
"When the wife returned from the river, she was informed that her son was producing froth from the mouth and vomiting by a neighbour. She rushed into the bedroom and noticed that her son was vomiting and frothing.
"There was a foul smell. The child passed away while she was holding him. She then alerted other neighbours, who informed police around 8am,'' said the prosecutor.
The father was not asked to plead and was remanded in custody to November 18, 2019 for remand.

There's an unspoken assumption in our culture that if you're a motivated and driven professional who is serious about your career, you'll want to move up the corporate ladder. As a result, articles abound on how to ask for a promotion, how to prove yourself after being promoted, and how to cope if you are passed over for one.
Given this prevailing expectation, what do you do if you have no desire to broaden your responsibilities? Maybe you're a primary caregiver who wants to focus more time and energy at home. Maybe you prefer the creativity of being an individual contributor, rather than a manager. Whatever your own personal reason, you're completely content where you are. How do you communicate those wishes to your boss, without being perceived negatively?
As an executive coach, I've worked with many talented individuals who had the potential to be promoted, but were uninterested in taking on more. Sharing this desire with their bosses often felt threatening, particularly because they were seen as talented, and often, as possible successors. Striking the balance between advocating for their own wishes without seeming ungrateful or unambitious was a challenge. The key, therefore, was to convey that although they were fulfilled where they were, they were still interested in growing in their careers.
If you're in a similar situation, here are some tips to navigate this discussion effectively:
Before you conclude that you have no desire for a promotion, you'll want to thoroughly explore the reasons why you aren't interested in moving up. Although some reasons are constructive, others may warrant a bit of further self-reflection.
Are you afraid you might not succeed? Do you have a fixed mindset that's causing you to shy away from a challenge? Could you be selling yourself short?
If your reasons for wanting to stay in your current role are primarily fear-based, you might want to start by soliciting feedback from others. Ask them how they perceive you in terms of your strengths and developmental opportunities. Do they see you as being ready to take on more? What do they think you would need to work on to be successful at the next level? In addition to helping you gain deeper insights about yourself, these conversations can also enable you to see how objective your own self-assessments are.
If you discover that others are confident in your ability to thrive in a bigger role, and that you've been underestimating yourself, then you might consider putting together an action plan to develop your skills. After all, contrary to what some people believe, most bosses expect that there will be a learning curve when you are promoted into a new role. Further, if you find yourself dismissing the positive feedback that others are giving you, then you may want to dig deeper into whether you're dealing with imposter syndrome. By working with a coach or a trusted mentor, you can develop greater confidence in yourself, and prevent yourself from stifling your own growth due to misplaced fears.
On the other hand, you might determine that the reasons you're happy to continue doing what you're doing have nothing to do with fear. Perhaps the timing isn't right, given your personal situation. Or, perhaps you have no desire to take on the increased level of responsibility and stress required if you were to move up to the next level. Perhaps you simply love what you're doing, and know that another job wouldn't be as fulfilling for you. In these instances, you'll want to have a transparent discussion with your boss about your current mindset.
When the time is right (like during a discussion about your career path, or perhaps during an annual review), talk with your boss about your desire to continue doing what you're doing.
The bottom line? There is no one career path that is right for everyone. Based on your definition of success, you'll be able to decide whether moving up or staying put is right for you.

Over 2500 Burundian refugees yesterday crossed from Kamanyola refugee camp in the Democratic Republic of Congo to Rwanda, an official said, local online website, the New Times reports.
The refugees who had lived in DR Congo since 2015, majority of them women and children entered in the country through the Rwanda-DR Congo border, claiming to have fled insecurity, Jean Claude Rwahama, the director of refugees affairs said.
According to Rwahama, the ministry is yet to ascertain their exact figure with the estimated number based on the refugees reported.
"We have not got reliable figures yet but refugee leaders told us that at least 2579 of them came."
The refugees were temporarily sheltered at Bugarama being catered for by the ministry and its partners pending their transfer to Nyarushishi transit camp in Rusizi on Thursday, according to Rwahama.
Rwanda already hosted more than 50,000 Burundian refugees at Mahama Refugees Camp in Kirehe District.
The refugees have accused the Congolese government of forcefully repatriating them back to Burundi before it's secure for them.
More than 285,000 refugees have fled Burundi, according to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, and more than 400 people have been killed, although that number could be as high as 1000 since the 2015 political instability.

The Zandaam, Netherlands-based retail conglomerate reported net sales of €15.8 billion ($19.3 billion), up 1.6 percent at constant exchange rates; net income of €744 million ($908.7 million), a 318.0 percent increase (377.9 percent at constant exchange rates); pro forma net sales of €15.8 billion ($19.3 billion), up 2.5 percent at constant exchange rates; and a pro forma net consumer online sales increase of 23.2 percent at constant exchange rates.
"We delivered synergies ahead of schedule and continued to show underlying operating margin expansion, with stable or increasing market share in our major markets," noted Boer, adding: "In a dynamic environment, our great local brands delivered strong results, tapping into changing consumer behavior."
During the period, Ahold Delhaize grew online consumer sales by more than 20 percent, with already €1.2 billion ($1.5 billion) sales in food online. In 2017, it realized €2.8 billion ($3.4 billion) online consumer sales and is "well on track" to realizing nearly €5 billion ($6.1 billion) by 2020.
Ahold Delhaize is expanding digital capabilities in all its brands and rolling out successful customer loyalty programs. In 2017, it sent out close to 2.5 billion personalized offers, which it expects to increase significantly in 2018.
"We are investing to make shopping more convenient, introducing new technologies to improve the customer experience and further ease the checkout process, as we live up to our promise to be a better place to shop," Boer noted. "We also are stepping up our focus on fresh inspiration as customers are increasingly looking for healthier options, organic products and locally grown produce, which will help us to reach our target of 50 percent healthy products in own-brand sales by 2020."
U.S. Q4 Performance
In the United States, "[b]oth Ahold USA and Delhaize America reported strong underlying operating margins, driven by synergies," noted Boer. "Inflation remained at low levels, and volumes at Food Lion continued to benefit from the implementation of its Easy, Fresh and Affordable program that has now been rolled out to more than half of its store base. Hannaford reported its 15th consecutive quarter with positive comparable-sales growth."
Further, he observed: "We are making good progress deploying our Better Together strategy and are on track implementing our brand-centric organization at Ahold Delhaize USA, which we expect to be completed by the end of the first quarter of 2018. The synergy delivery is ahead of schedule, with €268 million net synergies realized for the year."
Boer also observed that a strong free-cash flow enabled the company "to continue to invest" in its store network, grow its omnichannel offering and further develop its digital capabilities, providing customers with a unique and competitively priced offer.
Ahold USA's Q4 pro forma net sales increased 1.1 percent at constant exchange rates to €5,566 million ($6,798 million). Sales growth excluding gasoline was 0.6 percent, and comparable sales excluding gas edged up 0.6 percent, slightly higher after adjusting for weather and holiday shifts versus the previous quarter. Price inflation was 1.1 percent, broadly in line with the previous quarter.
During the quarter, Giant Carlisle opened eight new in-store Beer & Wine Eatery locations, operating 54 of these establishments by year end. Online grocer Peapod upped its customer satisfaction score by improving key drivers such as on-time delivery, available delivery slots, in-stock items, value perception and the user-friendliness of its website. Strong synergy savings and "save for our customers" programs were partly offset by lower pharmacy margins, produce cost pressures and higher promotional spend, however.
Going forward, in early 2018, Stop & Shop will begin the pilot of its Scan it and Go payment solution, which will allow customers to make automatic bank withdrawals at checkout.
Meanwhile, at Delhaize America, Q4 pro forma net sales rose 1.4 percent to €3,683 million ($4,498 million) at constant exchange rates, and comparable sales increased 1.5 percent, with both Food Lion and Hannaford posting positive comps growth, and market share expected to rise from last year. Food Lion continued to benefit from the rollout of the Easy, Fresh and Affordable store remodel program in the Charlotte, N.C., market last year and the Richmond, Va., and Greensboro, N.C., areas this year. Price inflation, at 0.7 percent, was broadly similar to the previous quarter.
Food Lion also successfully completed the pilot of its Shop & Earn digital loyalty program, which offers customers personalized savings on their preferred products and categories. The program will roll out to all markets in the first quarter of 2018. At Hannaford, the My Hannaford Rewards loyalty program launched at more stores during the quarter, becoming available chain-wide in January 2018. The banner also further expanded its Hannaford To Go click-and-collect service. Strong synergy savings and "save for our customers" programs were partly offset by wage hikes and higher depreciation expenses mainly related to Food Lion's Easy, Fresh and Affordable investments.
In 2018, Ahold USA and Delhaize America segments will be combined in financial reports, reflecting governance structure.

How can I make money online fast in 2018?
A lot of people here are talking about FBA, drop shipping, and affiliate marketing. I've tried all of these methods, but none of them were really for me. So I tried something most people haven't heard of - re-skinning apps. This is the fastest method to make money online that I've found so far.The basic process of re-skinning apps is buying/creating a template, editing the templates graphics, and then selling the app. Typically the process takes 1 to 3 hours depending on how experienced you are. I've found that the average app sells for between $100 and $300, however, I've had apps sell for as much as $2,000. If you continue re-investing the money you earn into more template, you can really make this into a decent income. In 2017 I was able to make over $15,000 working just 1 hour per week and in January of 2018 I was able to make $6,199 working just 2–3 hours per week.If you're interested in starting, I would first take a look at Chupamobile because they sell decent app templates for between $50 and $250. I would recommend a marketplace app to start. After you purchase your first app, all you have to do is edit the name, graphics, screenshots, etc. Once this is finished you can sell your app on Flippa, a marketplace for selling websites and apps.It might sound like a lot of information, but once you get through the process once, it becomes really easy. If you want more information, check out my YouTube Channelfor in-depth tutorials on re-skinning. You should also join my Facebook Group for app re-skinners so we can all discuss strategies and successes together! Good luck making money online!
How can you make money online fast?
It depends on how much money you want to make and how you want to make it. There's an old saying "it takes money to make money". This is true if you want to make money fast on the internet. You can run an advertising campaign for a range of digital affiliate products and make money through the sales.This usually takes a while even if you're using paid marketing strategies. If you've never run an advertising campaign or sold an affiliate product, this could still take several months to do.If you just want a 'quick buck' try using eBay to buy something and then sell it for a profit. You can do this using a misspell search and buying something for much less than it's worth.See How To Start A Profitable Ebay BusinessThe best advice is to focus on learning marketing. Get a Ready Made Sales Funnel and start sending targeted traffic into it. This will require you learning online marketing strategies and testing advertising and measuring the outcomes. Once you find a profitable campaign, you can just increase your daily budget and sell more products from that same advert.Many affiliates start down this path and quit before they get to the profitable stage. It's worth hanging in their though because once you've cracked it, you can just leave your campaign running and create many more, building multiple streams of traffic into your sales funnel.Still, at best and even with a large marketing budget, you're looking at at least a years worth of work before you can see a tangible profit.How Long Does It Take To Make Money With Affiliate Marketing?

While we are alive and conscious, this is the time to live life to the fullest in each and every moment. When we can dissolve thoughts and
feelings of fear and limitation and focus on the beauty around us, life starts to become more precious and enjoyable. True freedom starts coming into grasp.
In my work with clients, the conversation often arises around: what nourishes you or depletes you? When you are in any
given scenario where you must choose which food to eat, which activity to engage in, or which social movement to
participate in, pause, drop inward for a moment and feel: will this substance or activity nourish or deplete me? In a flash,
you will know. This is your inner knowing. It is not a place of political correctness. It is not to please others.
It is to honor your deep wisdom and act from that place. This is true nourishment. Your birthright. I honour you and your choices.
Some of the areas we give attention to include: optimal digestion, sleep, immunity, hormones, emotions,
and life path / dharma. Some examples of suggestions may include: specific foods, spices, teas, herbal supplements,
yoga poses, breath practices, skin care, massage, cleansing and shifting certain paradigms / attitude / old belief systems.
It's all about getting to the heart of what you are here to do and how you are going to care
for yourself along the way. Make a shift now, it is timely!

of our karma and KETU the most dangerous, as it is the most unbounded of the planetary influences. Both nodes operate in everyone's
life and to have an understanding as to how these shadowy grahas operate, can provide great benefit and navigation tools.
They are more potent when unrealized and psychologically unexplored, as they bring the most dramatic karma into manifestation.
This karma can be mitigated thru the practise of mantra, yantra and tantra,
which will be offered in the form of astral remedies during the workshop. RAHU/KETU have already significantly
re-designed our lives and global reality in 2020. They will continue to impact both our personal lives, as well trigger global events.
RAHU and KETU in their new position astrologically in the Zodiac will be transiting TAURUS and SCORPIO for a long one and a
half years starting September 23rd, 2020 - and are worthy of our attention. Learn how they will affect you and the world.

Comprehensive instruction in the mantra, yantra and tantra studies of the Sanatan path of planetary Yoga. This five day intensive is based on the premise that the planets are relay stations for the reception and transmission of celestial energies that affect our every thought and deed. The nine Luminaries bring the forces of the galaxy alive in us and direct our path of evolution. Each planet contains a portion of the cosmic rainbow ray, upholding its vibration in our solar system. Our karmas, in accordance with our birth chart, and how they ripen in this lifetime will determine the state of our consciousness, our gains and losses, our successes and trials. Most of our relationships are according to planetary affinities. Most of our actions are governed by the nature of the planet that dominates our celestial blue print and karmic template. Once we understand the meaning and nature of the planetary attributes we can make more intelligent choices participating in the cosmic leela and comprehend the possibilities of this precious human life.
Numerology and astrology within the context of healing and practices will be studied in depth. The course is balanced between theory and practice of the Vedic tradition. Ayurveda, Upayas and Self help remedials are offered to assist the student to revitalize his/her life and be a clear agent of support and knowledge for others.

Health does not merely mean the state of not having a disease. Ayurveda considers health to be a balanced state of constitution (dosha), metabolic fire (agni), bodily tissues (dhatu), and waste processes (mala). Health is where soul (atma), all senses (indriya), and mind (manasa) remain connected in an excellent state of happiness.
Kindly enquire for more information, an application form and all logistical details.
Registration deadline, July 24th 2020 to guarantee your room.
A Time for Healing
In everyone's life span comes a time of crisis and with it a time for healing. The crisis is rarely decided upon, although many omens
leading up to same are oftentimes ignored until the actual shock hits. Pain, loss, grief and sadness appear suddenly and with it the
choice and options to constructively yield to the inevitable. A time for healing however is a focused intent. It is a mindful choice to
connect with ones higher purpose to embrace the soul's journey, salute the spirit in ones existence with wisdom and compassion. It
is time to become sensitive to the hidden aspects of oneself and the larger human community. To realize ones mortality and become
acutely aware of the human condition we all share here in earth school. To accept and transcend the dramas of everyday life and
instead more fully embrace the dance of the great mystery of human life.
It is time to release the patterns of the past and not fret about the future. To slow down sufficiently to re-connect with ones breath,
the earth, her seasons and cycles, to find beauty in small treasures. To put ones mind in ones feet and walk more caringly on the
earthmother and draw healing from the very matrix of the universe. To enhance ones spiritual perception, become open to magic
and small pleasures and to re-assess ones practical needs. To celebrate the soul's awakening in a more creatively expressive way,
to claim ones autonomy and be taught by ones ancient inner knowing.
This can happen in many ways. A healing time is a time of profound personal empowerment. To decidedly commit to be living from
within a sacred space at all times and attuned to ones soul purpose. "Everything that lives wants attention, and the human soul is no
exception - it thrives when it knows itself perceived with compassion and reverence." When I work with a person, I attempt to look at
their soul self and observe the direction it wishes to move in. Then I look at the self-created obstructions in the body-mind dynamics
that block the soul's free movement. If the person is willing to transform and able to commit to a healing journey, I support them in
recognizing their soul's desire and via various immune enhancing tools guide them into the perceptual shape shifting needed to come
to the next level of beingness in their evolutionary cycle. To open to personal alchemy. To grow beyond what they know themselves
to be thus far.
Thought this process is essentially simple, it is sometimes challenging and sometimes great, depending on the rigidity and clinging
of the person's mental pattern and their subsequent emotional entanglements. In my work as a healer my biggest task is to encourage
the person to invite themselves into a healing time. To cross over the bridges of fear, worry, disease and confusions that prevent them
from living full, happy and healthy lives. To understand the necessity for beauty, play, ceremony, retreats and healing holidays. To
not see this as a luxury or as frivolous, not as selfish, not as crazy. So many times I am confronted with clients agreeing that my
suggestions of perhaps taking a vision quest, of moving to a brighter home, of enrolling in an art course of their choice, of committing
to ongoing therapy for a while, of taking the trip to the Caribbean they always dreamed of, are a good idea, but for reasons connected
with old worn out patterns of self limitation they are unable to jump into the abyss of the unknown and risk facing their new self. It
is almost tragic. Time and time again I witness people stuck in judgement, constriction and non-trust of the universal resources,
when they are within an inch of opening to a healing time for themselves. Perhaps for the first time and perhaps for the best time in
their lives. Inner work bears fruit when spiritual perception is brought into the everyday activities and during a healing time a person's
soul has a rare and wonderfully unique opportunity to become attuned to their true destiny and be more fully human. A healing time
is a turning point in a human life span. In my work with people suffering from all kinds of immune disorders, I have learned that
the immune system is strongly affected by feelings and that taking certain kinds of action, such as entering a committed healing time,
can affect the immune system positively.
There are now multiple options to awaken the possible human. To enter a discovery process about wholeness and the journey of
healing. For many, it is as simple as to just keep laughing in the face of their perceived obstacles, to discover the fire in the belly and
the spirit of soul in their eyes and the eyes of the world. To insist on hope and recovery. To creatively engage the imagination so it
may revitalize the body. For others it may take the form of a meditation retreat, of time in the wilderness, of moving to an urban
area, of simplifying their lifestyle or letting go of people and places one has outgrown a long time ago. For some a dream vacation
to a place of empowerment may serve as the catalyst for a healing time, and for most it is just sufficient to break out of the mold of
their perceived persona and release the mind mesh that entraps them. A healing time is a time of purification, a time of rebirth, a
time of coming into the grace of ones place in creation. It is available to us all.

Valentine's Update
Hi !
Hi !
In the past few weeks we talked about getting back to the deepest part of ourselves. We talked about coming back to a playful way to live life and sing and we talked about some exercises to get you there. Today I want to talk a little about what calls you to sing.
This day in age we seem to want a magic pill, class or lesson to "learn" to do everything. Maybe to sing, all we need is ourselves. Throughout time, people have sung in celebration because it felt good. They have sung when they have been frustrated and looking for solution because it felt good. They sang to God in troubled times because it gave them hope and it felt good. Do you sing because it feels good?
Today I am going to ask you to sing your day thru. Sing when you are happy. Sing when you're mad. Sing when you're frustrated. Most people I talk to say they like to sing, but they only sing in their shower or alone in their car. If you feel called to sing, make your life a musical. Sing while making dinner, while cleaning, while walking down the hall, etc.
Oh yeah, what will people think? Hmmm. There is a quote from the character Phil on Modern Family: "the minute I stopped caring what others thought was the minute I started having fun." This has been very true in my life. If you would like to become a better singer, then you have to sing more often and let go of what the peanut gallery thinks.
Freedom awaits you with every song you sing. Freedom in singing and freedom in your life.
Blog #5 WHOLE SINGING: Take the Time and Make the Room
There are lots of ways to play as an adult. Sometimes, it looks like child's play. For example, giving yourself permission to run thru the fall leaves. However, playing as an adult doesn't always have to look like frolic. It may look like solitude, walks, time with ruins or tarot. It may look like crafting or a retreat. What I am getting at is, somehow, as adults we need to give our attention to a side of ourselves that is mystical, cosmic and spiritual –our higher selves.
It is important we take the time and make the room for this quality of ourselves to flow thru us easefully if we want to sing openly and confidently. Here is an activity you can do to make room for this quality I am talking about. Take a moment to think of a "heart word;" meaning a positive feeling word, for example: Love. Then put the phrase "I am " in front of it. Sit for 5-20 minutes saying this simple phrase to yourself. Notice if there is a shift in how you feel in your emotions and in your body. There is a big possibility that you will feel hopeful, loved, loving, content, peaceful etc. Simple activities like the above activity can get you on your way to taking the time and making room for your higher self to take over for a little while. This is what I refer to as Whole Singing.
So take the time to do an exercise like this before you sing and take note of the quality of the sound and the openness from which you are singing. It will put a big smile on your face!
BLOG#4 Learning to PLAY again; Whole Singing
So last week I talked about remembering your playful self as a child. Well this week I met someone that wasn't very playful as a child. After the age of 5 she had to become very responsible and life became serious. I have a feeling this may be the case for many others as we have been in the age of technology, latch-key kids, afterschool activities and Academics. What I mean by that is many of us may have grown up with well intentioned parents who thought that play was a waste of time or who needed to work so enrolled us in afterschool activities or who thought that learning to read by age 6 was more important then growing your imagination. Play IS the most important "work" a child can do for her development.
When children play they are creating a bridge to the world of their imagination and to the world of spirit. If this bridge is not established in childhood, then as adults we can really suffer and shut down a lot of our potential. There is a saying: " we are spirits, having a human experience". Through play we allow spirit to inspire our human experience. This creates trust, creativity and a knowingness. This also creates the ability to flow easefully through life; it creates clarity and a sense of wholeness and oneness.
Now what if you had these components intact in your life right now? Do you think singing would come a bit easier? When I have talked to people who have a challenge with finding their authentic voice and sharing it in front of others, they shared with me that they have anxiety of being in front of others, that they don't trust their body to let out the right sound and that they have a fear of not being accepted. When anxiety, fear and distrust rule our lives, not only may we have a challenging time singing but we may have challenges in many other areas of our lives. My solution: learn how to play.
So if you find yourself not having a memory of what it felt like to play as a child. If you feel like your "bridge" may not have been fully built. I encourage you, actually I plead for you to take time to play. Go build a leaf pile, giggle and jump on in. See where that takes you. Find a child you know and surrender to her world for a little while. Start to feel your connection to life's greater forces again. When you start to feel this, allow yourself to play while your singing by making up a fun melody to sing, sing kid's songs you remember, or put on your favorite Pandora station to sing and dance along to! I promise this will begin to strengthen your "bridge" and your singing.
Blog #3 Whole singing Series – our Playful conversation with Music.
I think we can all remember a time in our childhood, when we were overtaken with the flow of our own play and imagination. Being a twin, my sister and I had many moments like that. Our world of play was effortless and seamless. Looking back I can see now how that world of play my sister and I engaged in was so very important to the work we both do as adults. It was that practice of flowing with my imagination and the practice of allowing creativity that lended itself to my conversation with Music.
There is a wonderful book, "The Music Lesson: a spiritual search for growth through music" by Victor l. Wooten. In this book he encourages us to look at our relationship and conversation with music. I immediately related it back to my childhood and my conversation with play. Imagination and music seem to have the same source- our higher self, Great Spirit, life force…God. My understanding is that it is all the same thing and when we trust and allow that force to come thru, then we play, we pray, we converse with music. We sing!
In our modern society of separating all the parts to make a whole we have done ourselves a disservice. We have become perfectionists and become very self-conscious. We have become fearful. We have taken on the attitude of "I must be taught; I must have a class if I am to know anything." This is very interesting because if you look through history, it is the greatest out-of-the-box thinkers who have evolved our world the most. They had to trust what was coming through them. Thankfully, many of the greatest spiritual teachers, scientific minds and musicians were brave enough to stand by themselves and share their insights. That was not learned from a book or a class.
My question to myself and to you reading this is, are we brave enough? Are we brave enough to go back in time and remember the feeling we had as a child of that easeful play? Are we willing to bring that feeling and flow into our conversation with music and allow and trust what comes. My challenge for you is to go PLAY an instrument or go sing. Do not go PRACTICE. Go Play. In your play as a child did you judge it did you analyze it. I think the answer would be no. But for some of us this ease of play is very hard to tap into. Therefore, make sure you do this on a regular basis. Give yourself permission to have a playful conversation with music for say 20 minutes a day. See what comes. What sounds, what words.
Once you have become familiar with your relationship with play, the music follows and so may your singing. The feeling you will feel when you come from this place while singing is that of the easefulness of childhood play. It is a wonderful feeling. This is what I have come to know as Whole Singing.
The conversation you have with yourself in your own head is extremely important. Just like Baskin Robins ice cream, there are many flavors we can choose to talk to ourselves in. Start to tune in to see what flavor you are choosing each day. While your driving to work, while your doing laundry or cooking; while you are on a run or working out or while you are bathing your children etc. Thoughts are constantly coming to our minds. When we deliberately tune in and take a conscious peak of what "self talk" we are engaging in and what flavor we are doing it in, we are developing a side of ourselves called the "witness". When our witness becomes strong then we are able to make choices that serve our lives better and empower us to do things we have always wanted to do …like SINGING! Some self talk that we may start to notice does nothing to build us up. In fact, we may start to notice that we are our biggest rival rather then our biggest cheerleader! These negative habits or "flavors " of talking to ourselves create a domino effect that go from the mind to the physical body, causing contraction around expressing ourselves freely. When self talk is habitually negative we develop beliefs about our selves and our environment that trap us in a safe box. This box is our contracted body and mind that are doing its best to SURVIVE… However, we may be at a moment in our lives that we want more out of life then simply surviving. We want to THRIVE! WE WANT TO SING ! So the next step to WHOLE SINGING I have found in my personal journey, is to develop a witness. Begin with noticing or maybe even journaling each day what "self talk" you witness and what "flavor" you are noticing. Just bringing an awareness to your thoughts can start to ease the contraction ( tightness & fear ) in your body and your mind. Once you have gotten good at witnessing or noticing your thoughts then you can start infusing a more positive flavor. When you lesson the physical and mental contraction in your body and your mind thru allowing more positive self thoughts, habits and perceptions then you are on the road to freer singing! …..NEXT TIME WE'LL TALK ABOUT HAVING A CONVERSATION WITH MUSIC
One of the most easeful ways to feel ecstasy in my life is through singing. I feel so good when I am singing. For years I compared it to what I thought flying might feel like. Then yesterday, I found a quote that said just that, "If I can not fly, then let me sing" -Sephen Sondheim.
After doing some research I realize that many people feel this same ecstatic feeling as I do when singing. However, thru the years I have also come across people that really wish and yearn to be "able" to sing but feel they cannot. My reply is, WHY? The sad truth is that many people's voices, and breath for that matter, are locked up inside them.
I can't think of a more uncomfortable feeling then to be trapped in our own body and mind, yearning to do something, yet unable. Singing with ease took time for me. The experience of unlocking my voice is one I do know well. While some of my fears still trap me in other areas of my life, I have no more reserve with singing and performing. This is what I would love to share with you. My journey to ecstasy through singing. With any journey, there are mountains to climb and beautiful sites to see. There is perseverance and joy. There are tears and doubts. There is growth. There are road blocks and new directions and so on.
To get on the map for this journey, start here-
What is your reaction to this comment: "If you can breath, if you can talk, then you can SING."
Use your reactions, inspirations, excuses, doubts and defenses that come up with this quote; list each one. Really sit with your list; are there some negative beliefs in there that are defining you or that are caging you in?
The next quote : " What ever you can imagine, you can do."
Now do the same process. Usually our reactions to these two quotes will reveal a lot. The journey has begun. Now go SING! I'll fill you in on some more tips next week. Until then, enjoy YOU.

Today I was reminded of lyrics from " Rosalie", one of the songs on my new CD. I received a call from a friend distraught about a family encounter. As we got into our phone call I remembered the words, "….brave enough not to care". Singing part of the song to him, I realize that this takes tremendous trust, detachment and courage.
When we are hooked into a very familiar negative pattern of "caring " for our family, which includes giving our advise when it hasn't been asked for, we are blinded by our habitual nature and believe we are helping when in fact we are sabotaging our own joy and disempowering and angering the other. While it is hard to break old habits and beliefs, it's worth it to start to see, really see, and then to let go of being hooked in. In essence, we must become brave enough not to care, trusting the flow of other people's lives, allowing the relationships they are experiencing and releasing the control we want to have. In doing this, I think it will free up a lot of energy for our own self-care and joy, and as a result we are available to really be there when someone is actually asking for help.
Just a thought from my always-thinking mind… "Rosalie" can be heard on Reverbnation or Cd baby, or here at https://rebeccaabraxas.com/?page_id=35.
There is a time in our lives when we have to assess, what's working and what's not. For me it became very clear recently. I am lucky b/c I have a great barometer: my children. It became very clear this summer that something was not working when my children were out of sorts and being difficult and having tantrums (even at 8). So …. time to slow down and go with the flow. Since i have slowed down and switched my priorities I have found that life is less stressful and I have time for the little things that make life rich, such as a pool day with my kids or finding the time to decorate the way i want or even really to stop and smell a rose …really. So lately when i take something on, i feel into my body, and ask the question "does this feel stressful in my body, does it feel flowing in my body or does my body tighten up " This has been an amazing realization to me tuning into the somatic response of my body to see if i am 'going with the flow ' or if i am going against the current. This realization has also helped me put into perspective where i am with my music career, how i am mothering, how i am showing up as a wife and how i am tending to myself. Are you going with the flow …. have fun tuning in and feeling the difference between your body liking an idea of action or not liking it … it has really turned my life around (along with meditating every morning for 20min) …. happy August
Here is the Music Player. You need to installl flash player to show this cool thing!

Tonight Glee will be having its Rocky Horror Picture Show episode and I already have my CD. Can't wait to get home from school and watch it. Oh yes, I'm still taking classes. Tonight I start four weeks of Dreamweaver (please don't sing that song I hate it).
Perfect weather for an at-home, indoor staycation. It's gloomy and wet and "brisk" outside so it's nice to be in here playing on my computer, cleaning my closets, and, well, napping. Hey — it's my vacation I can do whatever I want.
So you enjoy your day — whatever you may be doing.
