This photo has been doing
the rounds on Facebook. It is very heart warming to see these guys helping this
sheep. Wouldn't It be nice if more people were kind to animals.
Yes It's
Cool To Be Kind
The benefits of kindness
range from your emotional health, right down to your cardiovascular and nervous
systems. It was in 1979 that psychologists first coined the term called
"helpers' high" after a survey found that charity volunteers felt happier.
When a person performs an
act of kindness the brain produces dopamine. Secondly, the brain has its own
natural versions of morphine and heroine: endogenous opioids, such as
endorphins. It is believed that when a person does a kind act they feel good on
a chemical level thanks to the production of these endogenous opioids.
Why not set yourself a challenge, practice one act of random kindness everyday. Pay someone a compliment, be helpful or thoughtful. Try to do something you wouldn't usually do, but which will make a difference. Don't limit yourself to humans, try to help animals also.
There's a very worthy cause circulating virally right now called Meatless Monday, if you are an animal lover or even if you're not, you might like to consider taking part. Studies have shown a vegetarian / vegan lifestyle choice has very beneficial effects on the environment, it's an opportunity for you and your family to get creative, investigate healthy wholesome food options, vege recipes, or introduce more fruit and smoothies into your diet. The humble Smoothie has taken the world by storm (more on that later). We hope you will give this idea some thought, you have nothing to loose and heaps to gain, you can improve your health and the health of your family while contributing to saving the environment.
The great thing about practicing Yoga mantra
meditation is that this meditation technique quickly brings about a profound
and noticeable softening of the heart. Qualities like compassion, patience,
tolerance, respect, love and care towards all living beings become second
nature to a sincere practitioner.
The science and philosophy
which forms the heart of this practice is based on Truth and knowledge (Vedas)
This is a very ancient and timeless practice, the beneficial effects are as
potent today, in this modern era as they have always been since the
beginning of time. All sentient beings benefit from this extraordinary, simple
and enjoyable practice.
You will perceive a change
for sure. Not only will you notice an increase in good qualities and the
falling away of not so good qualities, you will gradually over time find that
your world view begins to change. How you percieve life and other living
beings begins to shift. This simple little practice is pretty awesome and truly
has the power to transform a persons life.
