"Do not educate your child to be rich. Educate him to be happy so when he grows up, he’ll know the value of things, not the price."
(via disimba)
"The joy of a psychedelic is when you have the balls to go into the darkness and all of a sudden you realize that darkness was a complete illusion. All the darkness and negativity and spooky shit and guilt and fear and crap you thought was inside you, and all the bad things you thought you’ve done, and all the things you feel terrible about secretly…you realize that’s nothing. İt’s an illusion. The universe loves you, you are completely embraced by the entire universe. You are an incremental part of the functioning of the cosmos. You are an incredible, wonderful, perfect fucking thing. And when you get a glimpse of that, it’s the greatest feeling ever. Because you’re healed. Because that’s what true healing is, man. True healing is realizing you were never sick in the first place. True healing is realizing you just had a little bit of dust on the windshield man…you brush it off you know..that’s all, man."

First Solar Eclipse Photograph

Berkowski made the first solar eclipse photograph on July 28, 1851, also using the daguerrotype process, at the Royal Observatory in Königsberg, Prussia (now Kalinigrad in Russia). Berkowski, a local daguerrotypist whose first name was never published, observed at the Royal Observatory. A small 6-cm refracting telescope was attached to the 15.8-cm Fraunhofer heliometer and a 84-second exposure was taken shortly after the beginning of totality.

Natural Architecture; an emerging art movement that is exploring mankind’s desire to reconnect to the earth, through the built environment. It aims to create a new, more harmonious, relationship between man and nature by exploring what it means to design with nature in mind.

You are the entire ocean in a drop."

This technique is called Pran Mudra
Purpose:
This is called the Mudra of Life as it improves our vital life force and empowers our life from the inside out.
Practice:
Bend the ring finger and the little finger and touch the tip of the thumb with their tips keeping the remaining two fingers stretched upward and together. Do this with both hands placing them comfortably by your side or on your lap while relaxing the shoulders.  
Taking deep and complete breaths begin observing the sensations in your body.  If you are feeling you need more energy, focus on extending your inhale twice the duration of your complete exhale.  If you are feeling at all anxious or nervous, try elongating your exhale twice as long as your deep inhale.  
Can you feel the energy between your fingertips?  Do you notice some softening in any tight areas?  What colors and textures does your mind’s eye see?  Notice any thoughts that arise while trying not to follow any specific line of thought.  Just keep returning to your Body Current™ by focusing your awareness on your breath and the sensations in your body.
You can do this anywhere, anytime for however long you wish! There are no contraindications and the side effects are great :0) ! Enjoy this simple and accessible technique whenever you need a bit more balance and ease.  
Benefits:
*Balances the adrenals and nervous system
*Balances the right and left hemispheres of the brain
*Calms the limbic system 
*Improves fatigue
Happy Balancing to you!
