Turkey’s central region of Cappadocia is internationally renowned for its deep valleys and soaring rock formations dotted with homes, chapels, tombs, temples and entire subterranean cities harmoniously carved into the natural landforms. Yep, underground metropolises are under the inconspicuously picturesque hills. The Turkey’s Housing Development Administration had sunk 90 million liras into new housing development when the construction teams were about to get started. They had stumbled the world’s largest underground city.

In the hills of Cappadocia there are more than 200 underground villages and tunnel towns complete with hidden passages, secret rooms and ancient temples and a remarkably storied history of each new civilization building on the work of the last...

We all have days that we feel down and depressed. When we are in this state, it can be hard to stay positive.

It’s easy to get trapped in lower vibrational energy, but there are a few easy tricks you can use to pull yourself out of a funk. Next time you’re feeling down, try a few of them out!

Activities to Pull Yourself Out of a Funk:

1. Use motion to improve your mood:

Motion is a higher vibrational state than sitting or lying down is. This is one of the reasons why roller coasters and skateboarding can be so much fun. If you’re feeling down, do something that involves motion to improve your mood. You can go for a drive, go bike riding, or even go roller skating. The faster the momentum, the higher your vibration will go.

As a former teacher who spent 7 years in the system, one of the things that really bugs me about today’s schools is the undercurrent of fear and control-based social conditioning that they subject our children to. Yes, our children do learn valuable skills and information, but often at the cost of their overall health and prosperity. Our schools, while they do indeed try, ultimately fail to fully harness the power of today’s young minds because they emphasize routine, discipline and testing over exploration, compassion and innovation.

Another problem today in education is that we simply aren’t teaching kids what they really need to know to be successful in life. While it is important to learn basic math, science, and reading to survive in today’s world, it is also important to teach kids how to thrive.

With some slight adjustments, we could quickly start to improve education by adding a few new subjects aimed at helping kids become healthy and successful adults. By teaching students information that will truly benefit them, we could start to transform education (and the world!) in a positive way.

Are you trying to raise your vibration? Most people are, whether they know it or not. At the end of the day, we all just want to enjoy life and for things to go smoothly, and a high vibration is the one thing that will make that all possible.

Take a moment to review these 15 signs of a high vibration. You will probably find that some of these are true for you and some of them aren’t, and that’s ok. Our vibrations fluctuate with time, so where you are right now is not necessarily where you’ll be a year from now, or even a minute from now!

After reviewing this list, try out the exercise at the end of the article to make your vibration higher, no matter where it is today.

1. You are happy, excited or simply content
2. Things are easily falling into place for you
