Dark Chocolate Relieves Stress and Lowers Blood Pressure

Ask most women and they’ll tell you that a good dose of chocolate really takes the edge off.  It’s not a joke.  Science confirms that eating dark chocolate helps relieve emotional stress and also lowers blood pressure.

A study published in the Journal of Proteome Research found that consuming 40 grams (about 1.4 ounces) of dark chocolate daily for a period of two weeks reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol and catecholamines, the fight-or-flight hormones.

The authors also concluded that their study “provides strong evidence that a daily consumption of 40 g of dark chocolate during a period of 2 weeks is sufficient to modify the metabolism of … healthy human subjects.”

Other studies had already suggested that chocolate relieved stress but this study provided evidence of the biochemical mechanism at work in relieving stress.

As the Moon is about to begin a new cycle, she’s pausing in her sacred space of receptivity and full potentiality. This is an opportune time to tune in to our heart’s deepest truth and vision. Take the time to dream up the possibilities….

Here is the astrological NEW MOON report from the most insightful interpreters of the planetary movements. First from the always spot on Dipali Desai and her Celestial Space Astrology Blog:

“There is an electric humming in the air as we prepare for the New Moon in Libra at 22 degrees on October 15th, 2012. The New Moon in Libra represents a time of experiencing grace and harmony both within and in relationships with others, including all of life.”

"1953 - Paris, France, Eiffel Tower. Double discs are seen passing over Eiffel Tower at 3:45 AM, in 1953 as M. Paulin took this picture.

The photograph is from the Michael Mann collection and was published in TRUE Magazine at the time.

A very interesting photograph, and not a bad one considering the time period, and the distance from camera to object. Look at the original image to see the two objects over the Tower."

Each Individual Impacts the Field Environment

Each Individual Impacts the Field Environment

 

Each individual’s thoughts, attitudes and emotions emit energetic fields. These individual field environments not only affect you, your health and perspective on life, they also can influence your relationships and experiences in your social field environments as you interact with people, or even if you are merely in the same room with other people. Can we change our individual, social, and even planetary environments and create the one in which we choose to live? We can. 

Attitudes of coherent genuine love, appreciation, care and compassion change a field environment – both locally – say in a meeting you are in – and throughout the world. Coherence is a highly efficient state in which all of the body’s systems work together in harmony. Increasing personal coherence creates an alignment of mind, body, emotions and spirit through the power of the heart. Heart coherence serves as a facilitator, adding strength and effectiveness to your care, compassion, intentions and actions to help the world. 

The electromagnetic field generated by the heart is the most powerful rhythmic energy field produced by the body. Studies conducted in IHM’s laboratory have shown that the heart’s electromagnetic field can be detected by other individuals and can produce measurable effects in a person 5 feet away. Our data show that the heart’s electromagnetic field becomes more organized during positive emotional – heart-coherent – states.

Oil sheen still plagues Gulf two and a half years later.

NEW ORLEANS — Federal scientists and BP say oil appears to have leaked last month from the drilling wreckage lying at the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico near where a BP well blew out in 2010, causing the nation's worst offshore spill.

A probe started after a sheen was discovered Sept. 16 in the waters near the site indicates the oil may have seeped from a mile-long metal tube, called the riser, which connected the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig to the Macondo well.

Balsamic Moon Phase - Moon in Virgo/Libra

Friday's energy centers around expectations - what we expect of ourselves and what others expect of us.  It is important to remain true to your own individuality and not let others project their own issues onto us.  If conflicts or difficulties arise, ask yourself whose expectation is really the concern.  Is someone's motive or level of commitment being revealed?  We will need to remain true to ourselves and not be pulled from our path.

Saturday's energy allows things to easily get carried away and out of control.  There's almost a hysteria with people's emotions.  People are inclined to be manipulative, trying to sway others to their desires.  To maintain a state of equilibrium, use the technique of being the wise old owl deep inside the tree, peering out and observing what is happening without becoming involved.

On Sunday, we will need to nourish ourselves and refresh our hopes, wishes, and dreams.  It's the last day before the New Moon and the best time to clear out anything that remains unresolved from the past (especially the past month).  The energy is about nourishing through simplicity and acts of kindness (especially kindness to ourselves).

The next lunar month (which begins Monday) is a powerful one.  It heralds a vast new beginning and the month is going to bring many opportunities.  More on this Monday and what we can expect from the New Moon opposing Eris.

A group of pranksters calling themselves The Intruders crashed the Investment Banking Awards

Footage has emerged of the activists striking at the Investment Banking Awards at the Sheraton Hotel in Mayfair, which they describe as the "Oscars of the financial world".

"Some of the world's richest bankers have gathered to congratulate each other on devising ever more creative ways to make themselves obscene sums of money," reads the narrator in the video of the stunt released this morning.
