Endorphins
Endorphins
by Samsaran
Endorphins are among the brain chemicals known as neurotransmitters. At least 20 types of endorphins have been demonstrated in humans. Endorphins can be found in the pituitary gland, in other parts of the brain, or distributed throughout the nervous system.
Stress and pain are the two most common factors leading to the release of endorphins. Endorphins interact with the opiate receptors in the brain to reduce our perception of pain and act similarly to drugs such as morphine and codeine. In contrast to the opiate drugs, however, activation of the opiate receptors by the body’s endorphins does not lead to addiction or dependence.
In addition to decreased feelings of pain, secretion of endorphins leads to feelings of euphoria, modulation of appetite, release of sex hormones, and enhancement of the immune response. With high endorphin levels, we feel less pain and fewer negative effects of stress.
Here are some generally accepted ways to generate Endorphins:
Exercise: Exercising the body is a great way to health and generates endorphins. One of the effects is the so called “runner’s high”
Deep Consciousness Bodywork: Practices such as yoga, Tai Chi, and walking meditation work wonders for the production of endorphins.
Music & Dance: Moving the body in rhythmic motion such as dancing to music is a great way to activate endorphins. Singing and playing a musical instrument also release endorphins.
Laughter: Humor is a great way to induce production of endorphins.
Aromatherapy: Aromatherapy is great at activating endorphins. Try taking a hot bath with candles and natural oils. Also, incense and natural flowers have a relaxing effect.
Foods: Healthy, tasty and stimulating food like raw chocolate is a great way to stimulate endorphins.
Massage: A good massage will generally release bottled up energy and activate those feel good endorphins.
Sexual Intimacy: being intimate with your partner (and yourself) is a wonderful way to divine union that activates endorphins in the process.
Acts of Compassion: Helping others in even small ways boosts our endorphin levels.

Life is available only in the present moment.

Don't leave anything for later. Later, the coffee gets cold. Later, you lose interest. Later, the day turns into night. Later, people grow up. Later, people grow old. Later, life goes by. Later, you regret not doing something... When you had the chance. Life is a fleeting dance, a delicate balance of moments that unfold before us, never to return in quite the same way again. Regret is a bitter pill to swallow, a weight that bears down upon the soul with the burden of missed chances and unspoken words. So, let us not leave anything for later. Let us seize the moments as they come, with hearts open and arms outstretched to embrace the possibilities that lie before us. For in the end, it is not the things we did that we regret, but the things we left undone, the words left unspoken, the dreams left unfulfilled.

Merkabah, also spelled Merkaba, is the divine light vehicle allegedly used by ascended masters to connect with and reach those in tune with the higher realms. “Mer” means Light. “Ka” means Spirit. “Ba” means Body. Mer-Ka-Ba means the spirit/body surrounded by counter-rotating fields of light, (wheels within wheels), spirals of energy as in DNA, which transports spirit/body from one dimension to another.
