Many people think success, money, and sex are contradicting spirituality and religion. It is even so that Religion became a business to extract money from the faithful people. Money and sex became evil so that Religion could exploit the people, for instance, the Catholic church is the biggest real estate owner in the world. &#13;
I believe Religion is based on trueness and faith in God. Sex and money have actually nothing to do with religion. In previous time we could not afford to focus full-hearted on religion when we had a family with kids… And then the concept was celibacy. Today we know that this concept promotes cancer for the prostrate and breast. We have to live a full life and should not forget God. After the Vedanta the world is desire, and we should live our desires to gain understanding, and after some time we will get peace with ourselves. &#13;
I lived 10 years in celibacy, was 12 years in Meditation retreats and had quite a lot of girlfriends. My spirituality went through the roof through a tantric love to a woman, and then I went on meditation retreats. &#13;

Lewis on Prayer&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After the Pope's speech, I was drawn to a video by C.S. Lewis – "How to Talk to God the Right Way."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;His message cut through:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;God is not impressed by polished speeches or prayers. He rather ignores them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you pray out of need, or let your words flow from humility – God hears you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But polished words?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They are born from arrogance or pride.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Both the Bible and the Quran warn:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"God does not like the proud."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Pride comes before the fall."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why I Can't Repeat Prayers&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Honestly?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I never repeat prayers – because they feel useless to me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I need to connect with God.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Without that connection, I feel devastated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then these religions come along, offering a formula to pray "the right way."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;They are so proud of their stupid prayers – but they never work for most people.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How I Actually Pray&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I speak to God as my friend and helper.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I want to make God happy – with the things I do, or simply with how I live.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My work is my prayer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Do your best – because you do it for God.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Do everything to please Him.

And I asked myself:Is he really connected – to his heart, to God – when he speaks? Honestly? I don't think so.So I can't believe what he says. The Problem with Polished WordsThere's an old sales saying: "Emotions sell, and data tells." When you sing, speak, or sell – you want to make an impact.And if your words come from real emotion, you connect with people. But a polished speech?Nobody is interested – not even God. C.S. Lewis on PrayerAfter the Pope's speech, I was drawn to a video by C.S. Lewis – "How to Talk to God the Right Way." His message cut through: God is not impressed by polished speeches or prayers. He rather ignores them. If you pray out of need, or let your words flow from humility – God hears you. But polished words?They are born from arrogance or pride. Both the Bible and the Quran warn: "God does not like the proud.""Pride comes before the fall." Why I Can't Repeat PrayersHonestly?I never repeat prayers – because they feel useless to me. I need to connect with God.Without that connection, I feel devastated. And then these religions come along, offering a formula to pray "the right way."They are so proud of their stupid prayers – but they never work for most people. How I Actually PrayI speak to God as my friend and helper. I want to make God happy – with the things I do, or simply with how I live. My work is my prayer.Do your best – because you do it for God.Do everything to please Him. That should be our goal. The Heart of Prayer – C.S. Lewis's Definition"Our heart should be in our prayer. Without praying out of our heart, the prayer is useless." Prayer is not to impress God.It is to reveal yourself to Him. Crafted prayers don't work.But when we pour our heart out to God – raw, real, vulnerable – He responds. Jesus in the GardenThink of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Don't be emotionally affected. Don't go into your emotions. You see it absolutely wrong."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The message is clear: Suppress your emotions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Instead, we should let the child cry or express its emotions fully.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Just be there.

She got severely sick twice.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Can you imagine? We went from 45°C heat to freezing snowstorms at 5,400 meters altitude in Ladakh, and then back to 45°C in Delhi and Varanasi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;She couldn't eat the Indian food.

We think our emotions are our enemy.We like to be together with happy people, with no drama. And so we consume a lot of drugs, or we become addicted to social media and our mobile phones. Look at today's health reports: 60% of children are chronically ill. 10% are autistic. Suicide rates are at an all-time high. Depression has never been at such a high level. Wars are raging like crazy.The suicide rate of U.S. Army servicemen is five times higher than the death rate on the battlefield.

You think that will never happen?It will happen—it just needs time.And please, don't scroll on your mobile phone while doing it. A Personal Story: IndiaWe decided to go to India. Our journey was very challenging—so many things went wrong.She wanted to go home. I said: "Go. I will continue." But she stayed.She could express all of her emotions, her doubts, her anxiety. She got severely sick twice. Can you imagine? We went from 45°C heat to freezing snowstorms at 5,400 meters altitude in Ladakh, and then back to 45°C in Delhi and Varanasi. She couldn't eat the Indian food. She had never experienced freezing temperatures as a Thai person. There was no heating. The internet didn't work. Shocking or not?For me, it wasn't—because I'm used to it. At the end of the trip, she asked me: "Where should we go next time?" I said: "Africa." She said: "OK." Why?Because she could express all her emotions and never got abandoned or punished. That is what a true relationship looks like. What Happens When We Suppress Negative Feelings?Suppressed negative emotions will: Make us sick. Influence our decisions negatively. Increase our fear level significantly. Make us addicted to consumption, shopping, distraction, social media, drugs, etc. Isolate us—because we can't express our emotions, we can't build true relationships. Suppress our positive emotions as well. Reduce our vulnerability, sensitivity, and love. Suppress our spontaneity and creativity. Close our heart. Cause choleric reactions—sudden outbursts of anger over minor problems, punishing innocent people. Lead to projections—blaming others for our own wrongdoing. Turn us into robots. The Beauty of Expressing EmotionsWatch a three-year-old child.They don't suppress their emotions.They change their mood within five minutes.When they are happy, they beam with joy.When they are sad, they cry. That is the beauty of expressing emotions. The Solution: MindfulnessMindfulness is not about stopping your thoughts and feelings.It is about learning to observe thoughts and feelings without judgment or attachment. What Is True Adulthood?True adulthood is mindfulness—accepting our own thoughts and emotions, and accepting all emotions from other people without resenting them. How to Learn This?Attend encounter groups and bioenergetic groups—until you learn to express your emotions fully and accept the emotions of other people. Just do it.

was good.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But then I discovered something far more powerful:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Applying castor oil to the entire abdomen – the area between your chest and pelvis, where there are no ribs or bones.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That changes everything.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why the Abdomen?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;During the night, your body enters its natural redemption cycle – a time of deep cleaning, repair, and rejuvenation.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Castor oil applied to the abdomen amplifies this process in ways that surprised even me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What It Does for Your Gut&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Castor oil mobilizes your colon and gut through peristaltic waves – the natural contractions that move waste through your system.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It breaks down the fermented biofilm coating on your intestinal walls.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That sticky, stinky film?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It gets dissolved and eliminated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And in the morning?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You see the difference.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Personal Experience – 14 Days&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I've been doing this for 14 days – and the results are astonishing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The First Few Days&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When I went to the toilet in the morning, it looked much worse at first.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lots of gas.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Soft poop, shattered in small pieces.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But I let it work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After 3 Days&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My stomach started flattening.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Digestion improved visibly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After 14 Days&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My poop became perfect – a clear sign of a healthy gut.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Additional Benefits – Beyond the Gut&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This simple nightly practice delivers a cascade of

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Deeper sleep&lt;span style="white-space: pre;"&gt;	&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calms the nervous system&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why This Works&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your gut is called your "second brain" for a reason.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When your colon is clean:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Toxins are eliminated&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Inflammation drops&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sleep improves&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Skin glows&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mental clarity sharpens&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Castor oil applied externally to the abdomen supports this internal cleansing process – gently, naturally, and effectively.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How to Do It – Simple Protocol&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Take a small amount of high-quality, cold-pressed castor oil.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Apply generously to your entire abdomen (from below the chest to above the pelvis).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Massage gently in clockwise circles for 2–3 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cover with an old cloth or wear an old T-shirt (oil can stain).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Sleep through the night – and let your body do its work.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Morning After&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When you wake up:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Notice your toilet routine – it will improve over time&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Observe your stomach – flatter and less bloated&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Feel your energy – clearer and lighter&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br

But then I discovered something far more powerful: Applying castor oil to the entire abdomen – the area between your chest and pelvis, where there are no ribs or bones. That changes everything. Why the Abdomen?During the night, your body enters its natural redemption cycle – a time of deep cleaning, repair, and rejuvenation. Castor oil applied to the abdomen amplifies this process in ways that surprised even me. What It Does for Your GutCastor oil mobilizes your colon and gut through peristaltic waves – the natural contractions that move waste through your system. It breaks down the fermented biofilm coating on your intestinal walls. That sticky, stinky film?It gets dissolved and eliminated. And in the morning?You see the difference. My Personal Experience – 14 DaysI've been doing this for 14 days – and the results are astonishing. The First Few DaysWhen I went to the toilet in the morning, it looked much worse at first. Lots of gas. Soft poop, shattered in small pieces. But I let it work. After 3 DaysMy stomach started flattening. Digestion improved visibly. After 14 DaysMy poop became perfect – a clear sign of a healthy gut. Additional Benefits – Beyond the GutThis simple nightly practice delivers a cascade of benefits: Benefit How It Works Flatter stomach Reduced bloating and gut inflammation Lymphatic flush 60% more lymphocytes&amp;nbsp;– immune boost Deeper sleep Calms the nervous system Reduced inflammation Systemic anti-inflammatory effect Natural Botox Improved skin elasticity and tone Clearer mind A clean colon = a clean mind Why This WorksYour gut is called your "second brain" for a reason. When your colon is clean: Toxins are eliminated Inflammation drops Sleep improves Skin glows Mental clarity sharpens Castor oil applied externally to the abdomen supports this internal cleansing process – gently, naturally, and effectively. How to Do It – Simple ProtocolTake a small amount of high-quality, cold-pressed castor oil. Apply generously to your entire abdomen (from below the chest to above the pelvis). Massage gently in clockwise circles for 2–3 minutes. Cover with an old cloth or wear an old T-shirt (oil can stain). Sleep through the night – and let your body do its work. Morning AfterWhen you wake up: Notice your toilet routine – it will improve over time Observe your stomach – flatter and less bloated Feel your energy – clearer and lighter Final Thought"A clean colon is a clean mind."

Reduction in cognitive load&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Constantly fighting urges or intrusive grief thoughts exhausts mental resources. Belief in a higher power allows the brain to offload the monitoring and control to an external entity, freeing up prefrontal capacity.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Activation of parasympathetic (calming) systems&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Prayer, meditation, or surrender triggers the vagus nerve, lowering cortisol and heart rate.

Increased social and group effect&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;In an Anonymous Alcoholic (AA) or group therapy, the “higher power” is often channeled through the group’s shared belief.

Meaning-making and narrative reconstruction&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;After immense loss (e.g., a child’s death), the brain’s default mode network generates rumination and despair. A higher power reframes the loss as part of a larger story—reducing the “shattered assumptions” effect that causes prolonged grief disorder.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The&amp;nbsp; two-path framing&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Path 1: Trauma-release therapy (Humaniversity’s 14-day intensive, EMDR, somatic experiencing)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Works when the addiction is primarily driven by unprocessed trauma. Success rate can be high (80–90% in that specific model) because it “resets the emotional charge” behind the craving.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Path 2: Spiritual surrender (AA, religious faith, higher power)&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Works especially when:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Trauma therapy alone didn’t stick, or&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The loss is so profound that no “technique” can touch it (e.g., losing a child), or&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The person has failed repeatedly at self-control.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Science cannot “prove” God, but it can prove that “the act of believing and surrendering” changes brain function in ways that enable recovery.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Practical steps for someone facing addiction or immense loss&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For addiction (alcohol, drugs):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1.

If that fails or is unavailable, go to AA/12-step.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. In AA: pick a “higher power” you can accept (it does not need to be a deity—could be nature, the group itself, love, or simply “reality”).&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4. When urge hits: pause, say aloud “I cannot do this alone,” and ask that higher power for 10 minutes of relief. That pause often resets the craving circuit.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For immense loss (e.g., child’s death):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- Talk therapy alone often cannot touch this level of grief—it’s not pathological, it’s existential.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- Surrender practice: “I will never make sense of this. I cannot carry this alone. I give this weight to [God/life/the universe].”&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- Ritualize it: light a candle each morning, and mentally place the child’s memory and your pain into the higher power’s hands.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- Over weeks, brain activity shifts from hypervigilant grief (amygdala) to reflective remembrance (prefrontal-hippocampal integration).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;Scientific bottom line&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yes, a higher power works as a neurocognitive leverage point&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;—not because the higher power is empirically verified, but because the *act of surrender* bypasses the exhausted willpower system and recruits brain circuits of trust, safety, and social connection.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you or someone you know is struggling, combining both paths (trauma therapy + spiritual surrender) is often optimal, so I did.

The territory was clear: matter, energy, cause and effect. God was a fairy tale, a psychological crutch, an explanatory ghost fading before the dawn of science. I believed in the map. It was logical, defensible, and safe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, through the quiet archaeology of meditation and the alchemy of conscious Tantra, I began to feel the ground beneath the map. It wasn't an idea. It was a presence. A current. A kind of intelligence in the fabric of things that responded—not to prayers, but to the quality of my attention, the openness of my heart, the surrender of my identity. God wasn't a theory to be believed in; it was a reality to be encountered, intimately and relentlessly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then the storm came. My constructed world—relationships, security, identity—was washed away. In that total ruin, where every concept drowned, something else rose. Kundalini. Not a metaphor, but a physiological, spiritual, and psychological earthquake that rewired my very being. It was the demolition of the observer and the fusion with the observed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In that crucible, "faith" became a laughably small word. You don't have faith in the sun. You open your eyes and it is there. You don't have faith in gravity. You let go and you fall. Connection replaced belief. God ceased to be a separate noun and became the verb of existence itself—the conscious, loving, fierce, and incomprehensible intelligence singing the atoms, dreaming the galaxies, and beating in the cage of my own ribs.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So when I read the debates—the "fine-tuning" arguments, the philosophical quibbles, the "proofs" for and against—it feels like watching brilliant scholars argue over the chemical composition of ink while missing the poem it writes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;To the doubter, with respect:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I am not here to convince you. Your doubt is sacred. It protects you from cheap answers. Cling to it. But understand its jurisdiction.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Science is the magnificent study of the waveform. It measures frequency, amplitude, and interaction. But God is the ocean. You cannot catch the ocean in a net built for waves.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your logic is a flashlight in a room of objects. It is impeccable for that task. But what happens when you turn the flashlight on itself? On the one who holds it? On the space between objects? The light falls short. This isn't a failure of logic. It's a definition of its domain. "Wisdom is born when logic dies" doesn't mean we become foolish. It means we switch instruments—from the microscope to the musical ear, from the calculator to the heart.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The mysteries you rightly point to—synchronicity, NDEs, the inexplicable knowing of love, the butterfly effect—are not gaps in knowledge. They are hints. They are the ocean leaking through the seams of the waveform. They are the territory whispering that it is alive, aware, and meaningfully patterned in ways that transcend linear causality.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Fine-tuning isn't a proof; it's a vibe. The universe doesn't just allow life; it gushes with life, consciousness, and breathtaking beauty at every scale. The atheist sees a stunning accident. I have felt the Stunner.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You ask if life is predetermined. From here, the question melts. It's like a river asking if its path is predetermined. The riverbank (the laws, the planets, your genetics) sets certain parameters. But the water (consciousness, God) is always free, always flowing, always finding its way. Astrology and fate are attempts to read the riverbank. God is the experience of being the water and the flow.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So I write this not to win a debate, but to issue an invitation from beyond the battlefield:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Perhaps God is not a being to be proven, but a dimension of being to be experienced. It is not the conclusion of an argument, but the ground from which all arguments arise.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My experience is my evidence. But it is not transferable. I can only say: the maps I once held are now ashes. The territory is holy. The doubt that once protected me from dogma now seems like a diligent guard outside a door I’ve walked through.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The door is not marked "Religion." It is marked "Total Vulnerability, Shattering, and Direct Perception."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You may never walk through it. You may not need to. But know this: on the other side of your impeccable, honorable doubt, there is not superstition. There is not belief.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There is recognition.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And it feels like coming home to a home you never knew you'd left.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; Exist God or not?&amp;nbsp; https://youtu.be/8NwknOliaRI&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Exist-God-or-not.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/Exist-God-or-not.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/8NwknOliaRI/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;When the Map is Not the Territory: A Letter from the Other Side of Doubt.I was raised on the clean, bright maps of atheism.

It was the demolition of the observer and the fusion with the observed. In that crucible, "faith" became a laughably small word. You don't have faith in the sun. You open your eyes and it is there. You don't have faith in gravity. You let go and you fall. Connection replaced belief. God ceased to be a separate noun and became the verb of existence itself—the conscious, loving, fierce, and incomprehensible intelligence singing the atoms, dreaming the galaxies, and beating in the cage of my own ribs. So when I read the debates—the "fine-tuning" arguments, the philosophical quibbles, the "proofs" for and against—it feels like watching brilliant scholars argue over the chemical composition of ink while missing the poem it writes. To the doubter, with respect: I am not here to convince you. Your doubt is sacred. It protects you from cheap answers. Cling to it. But understand its jurisdiction. Science is the magnificent study of the waveform. It measures frequency, amplitude, and interaction. But God is the ocean. You cannot catch the ocean in a net built for waves. Your logic is a flashlight in a room of objects. It is impeccable for that task. But what happens when you turn the flashlight on itself? On the one who holds it? On the space between objects? The light falls short. This isn't a failure of logic. It's a definition of its domain. "Wisdom is born when logic dies" doesn't mean we become foolish. It means we switch instruments—from the microscope to the musical ear, from the calculator to the heart. The mysteries you rightly point to—synchronicity, NDEs, the inexplicable knowing of love, the butterfly effect—are not gaps in knowledge. They are hints. They are the ocean leaking through the seams of the waveform. They are the territory whispering that it is alive, aware, and meaningfully patterned in ways that transcend linear causality. Fine-tuning isn't a proof; it's a vibe. The universe doesn't just allow life; it gushes with life, consciousness, and breathtaking beauty at every scale. The atheist sees a stunning accident. I have felt the Stunner. You ask if life is predetermined. From here, the question melts. It's like a river asking if its path is predetermined. The riverbank (the laws, the planets, your genetics) sets certain parameters. But the water (consciousness, God) is always free, always flowing, always finding its way. Astrology and fate are attempts to read the riverbank. God is the experience of being the water and the flow. So I write this not to win a debate, but to issue an invitation from beyond the battlefield: Perhaps God is not a being to be proven, but a dimension of being to be experienced. It is not the conclusion of an argument, but the ground from which all arguments arise. My experience is my evidence. But it is not transferable. I can only say: the maps I once held are now ashes. The territory is holy. The doubt that once protected me from dogma now seems like a diligent guard outside a door I’ve walked through. The door is not marked "Religion." It is marked "Total Vulnerability, Shattering, and Direct Perception." You may never walk through it. You may not need to. But know this: on the other side of your impeccable, honorable doubt, there is not superstition. There is not belief. There is recognition. And it feels like coming home to a home you never knew you'd left.

This is a fundamental principle of many bodywork modalities like the Alexander Technique, Feldenkrais, and Somatics.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In the beginning you need maybe 10 to 15 minutes to do this exercise, later you can do it in 5 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Exercise: A Step-by-Step Guide&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What you'll need: A comfortable space on the floor with a mat or carpet, and a small pillow or towel (optional, for under your head).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 1: The Setup (The "Constructive Rest" Position)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Lie on your back on the floor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Place a small pillow or folded towel under your head if needed, so your neck is comfortable and your chin is slightly tucked, not jutting up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Position your feet so they are hip-width apart or shoulder-width, parallel to each other.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Adjust your feet so they are far enough away from your buttocks that your knees are pointing directly up towards the ceiling. Your thighs and calves should form roughly a 90-degree angle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let your arms rest comfortably at your sides, palms down or up, whatever feels natural.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 2: The Active Release (Letting the Knees "Talk")&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Close your eyes and bring your attention to your pelvis and lower back. Take a few deep, calming breaths.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, begin to very slowly and gently allow your knees to fall or drop towards each other. Don't use your strong outer thigh muscles to force them. Instead, imagine you are just allowing them to go inward, releasing the muscles that would normally hold them apart.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Let them fall only as far as they want to. You might feel a slight shaking or tremor—this is a great sign! It means muscles are starting to unlock.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then, just as slowly and patiently, allow your knees to drift back apart to their starting position. Again, don't force them. Imagine they are floating open on their own.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is the key: The movement should be initiated by a feeling of release, not muscular effort. You are basically asking the question: "What happens if I stop holding my legs apart?" and then "What happens if I stop holding them together?"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Repeat this gentle, rocking motion. As you continue, you might notice that the movement starts to feel more rhythmic and autonomous. The knees may start to knock together and fall apart by themselves, as you described.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 3: The "Somatic" Response (Letting the Body Take Over)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;After several minutes of this patient, gentle rocking, you may begin to feel a new sensation. The movement may become less about your knees and more about your lower back and pelvis.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You might feel your lower back gently pressing into the floor and then releasing. You might feel your pelvic floor muscles subtly contracting and relaxing. Your stomach muscles may start to quiver or engage involuntarily.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is the "somatic" response. Your brain is reconnecting with chronically tight muscles and teaching them how to let go. The body is now moving by itself, unwinding the deep-seated tension patterns.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Simply observe this process. Don't try to control it or make it bigger. Just be a curious witness to the gentle, spontaneous movements of your own body.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Why This Exercise Is So Effective (The Science of Release)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It Targets the Psoas Muscle: The psoas (so-as) is a deep core muscle that connects your spine to your legs. It is the body's primary postural muscle and is intimately connected to our fight-or-flight response. When we are stressed, anxious, or have experienced trauma, the psoas chronically tightens, shortening and pulling on the lower back. This exercise puts the psoas in a position where it can finally be "asked" to lengthen and release.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It Engages the Parasympathetic Nervous System: The constructive rest position itself is calming. By adding this gentle, non-demanding movement, you are signaling to your nervous system that it is safe to let go of the protective bracing patterns held in the pelvis and lower back.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's a Form of Pandiculation: This is a fancy word for the natural way that cats and dogs stretch.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A pandiculation involves three steps:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1) consciously contracting a muscle,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2) slowly and consciously releasing it, and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3) relaxing completely.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This exercise does this by allowing the muscles to contract (as the knees fall together and the back engages) and then slowly release (as the knees drift apart). This neurological process is the most effective way to reset a muscle's resting length and erase chronic tension.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;It's a powerful tool for self-care.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your patience and gentle approach are the true secrets to its success.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; How to release your tension in the lower back and pelvic area? https://youtu.be/HtnG68-MFA8&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-release-your-tension-in-the-lower-back-and-pelvic-area.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-release-your-tension-in-the-lower-back-and-pelvic-area.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/HtnG68-MFA8/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; This type of exercise is brilliant because it doesn't force the muscles to relax, but rather creates the conditions for the nervous system to let go of chronic tension on its own.

The Exercise: A Step-by-Step Guide What you'll need: A comfortable space on the floor with a mat or carpet, and a small pillow or towel (optional, for under your head). Step 1: The Setup (The "Constructive Rest" Position) Lie on your back on the floor. Place a small pillow or folded towel under your head if needed, so your neck is comfortable and your chin is slightly tucked, not jutting up. Bend your knees and place your feet flat on the floor. Position your feet so they are hip-width apart or shoulder-width, parallel to each other. Adjust your feet so they are far enough away from your buttocks that your knees are pointing directly up towards the ceiling. Your thighs and calves should form roughly a 90-degree angle.

The internet promised me reduced inflammation, better recovery, and all-around wellness magic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Honestly? It did nothing for me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I kept waiting for the benefits everyone raved about—the energy, the anti-inflammatory wonders, the glow. Instead, I got… well, nothing noticeable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Turns out, the science explains why.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Turmeric Problem&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Recent studies reveal that even when combined with black pepper (which helps absorption) and taken with fat, turmeric's active compounds are only absorbed at **20-30%** . And here's the kicker: within **2-3 hours**, it's virtually gone from your bloodstream.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So unless you're timing your turmeric intake with military precision around every meal, you're probably not getting much from it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Enter Black Ginger: Thailand's Ancient Secret&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For centuries, Thai traditional medicine has relied on a powerful root called Black Ginger (*Kaempferia parviflora*). And now? Modern science is finally catching up to what herbalists have known all along.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The verdict: Black Ginger is approximately **20 times more potent** than turmeric, absorbs effectively without needing fat, and offers a wider range of scientifically-validated benefits.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What Makes Black Ginger So Powerful?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The magic lies in compounds called **polymethoxyflavones**—potent antioxidants that your body can absorb efficiently and put to work immediately.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here's what the research shows:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Physical Performance &amp;amp; Energy&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Black Ginger has been traditionally used by Thai boxers—and for good reason. A 2024 study found that mice given black ginger extract for 8 weeks showed **significantly enhanced endurance**. Human research suggests it may improve energy metabolism, helping your body burn fat for fuel more effectively.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Male Reproductive Health&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Traditionally valued as an aphrodisiac, studies indicate black ginger may support healthy testosterone levels, increase sperm density, and improve blood flow.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Antioxidant &amp;amp; Anti-inflammatory Power&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The polymethoxyflavones in black ginger combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation throughout the body. Bonus: research suggests it may even help heal and prevent stomach ulcers.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Weight Management&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;By influencing how your body stores and uses fat, black ginger may support healthy weight management—especially when combined with an active lifestyle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Cardiovascular &amp;amp; Cellular Health&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Early research points to protective effects for heart health, while other studies suggest it may support skin health by promoting collagen and elastin production.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Relaxation Paradox&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here's what fascinates me most: Thai monks have traditionally used black ginger for relaxation. At first glance, that seems contradictory—a herb that boosts energy *and* promotes calm?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Modern brain wave studies explain why. Research shows that black ginger increases **alpha brain waves** (associated with relaxation and calm focus) while decreasing **beta waves** (linked to stress and anxiety). It also appears to support healthy dopamine levels.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So rather than stimulating or sedating, black ginger seems to *balance*—creating a state of calm energy that ancient traditions have understood for centuries.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;How to Use Black Ginger&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Traditional and clinical doses typically range from **1.2g to 1.35g daily**. Unlike turmeric, you don't need to carefully combine it with fat or pepper for absorption—your body can utilize it effectively on its own.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;**A quick word of caution:** As with any supplement, consult your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or take medications.

The internet promised me reduced inflammation, better recovery, and all-around wellness magic. Honestly? It did nothing for me. I kept waiting for the benefits everyone raved about—the energy, the anti-inflammatory wonders, the glow. Instead, I got… well, nothing noticeable. Turns out, the science explains why. The Turmeric Problem Recent studies reveal that even when combined with black pepper (which helps absorption) and taken with fat, turmeric's active compounds are only absorbed at **20-30%** . And here's the kicker: within **2-3 hours**, it's virtually gone from your bloodstream. So unless you're timing your turmeric intake with military precision around every meal, you're probably not getting much from it. Enter Black Ginger: Thailand's Ancient Secret For centuries, Thai traditional medicine has relied on a powerful root called Black Ginger (*Kaempferia parviflora*). And now? Modern science is finally catching up to what herbalists have known all along. The verdict: Black Ginger is approximately **20 times more potent** than turmeric, absorbs effectively without needing fat, and offers a wider range of scientifically-validated benefits. What Makes Black Ginger So Powerful? The magic lies in compounds called **polymethoxyflavones**—potent antioxidants that your body can absorb efficiently and put to work immediately. Here's what the research shows: Physical Performance &amp;amp; EnergyBlack Ginger has been traditionally used by Thai boxers—and for good reason. A 2024 study found that mice given black ginger extract for 8 weeks showed **significantly enhanced endurance**. Human research suggests it may improve energy metabolism, helping your body burn fat for fuel more effectively. Male Reproductive HealthTraditionally valued as an aphrodisiac, studies indicate black ginger may support healthy testosterone levels, increase sperm density, and improve blood flow. Antioxidant &amp;amp; Anti-inflammatory PowerThe polymethoxyflavones in black ginger combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation throughout the body. Bonus: research suggests it may even help heal and prevent stomach ulcers. Weight ManagementBy influencing how your body stores and uses fat, black ginger may support healthy weight management—especially when combined with an active lifestyle. Cardiovascular &amp;amp; Cellular HealthEarly research points to protective effects for heart health, while other studies suggest it may support skin health by promoting collagen and elastin production. The Relaxation Paradox Here's what fascinates me most: Thai monks have traditionally used black ginger for relaxation. At first glance, that seems contradictory—a herb that boosts energy *and* promotes calm? Modern brain wave studies explain why. Research shows that black ginger increases **alpha brain waves** (associated with relaxation and calm focus) while decreasing **beta waves** (linked to stress and anxiety). It also appears to support healthy dopamine levels. So rather than stimulating or sedating, black ginger seems to *balance*—creating a state of calm energy that ancient traditions have understood for centuries. How to Use Black Ginger Traditional and clinical doses typically range from **1.2g to 1.35g daily**. Unlike turmeric, you don't need to carefully combine it with fat or pepper for absorption—your body can utilize it effectively on its own. **A quick word of caution:** As with any supplement, consult your healthcare provider before starting, especially if you're pregnant, nursing, have a medical condition, or take medications. Long-term safety studies are still emerging. ## The Bottom Line Turmeric has had its moment in the wellness spotlight—and for many people, it genuinely works.

This is the version that tells everyone, "I'm doing great."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The other version is who you are in private. No show. No performance. This is the version with all the bad habits, the anxieties, the fears. And buried beneath it all, there is often a small voice that just wants to be authentic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;But then the fear creeps in:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What if other people discover my private self?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That fear—that exposure—is shame.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And when those two versions inevitably don't match, you feel a low-grade tension that never fully goes away. A constant, quiet unease.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Guilt vs. Shame&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;People often use "guilt" and "shame" interchangeably, but they are not the same thing.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Guilt is: "I did something bad."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Shame is: "I am bad."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Shame is the belief that if people really knew you, they would reject you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And so you hide. You construct another version of yourself—a persona—because somewhere along the way, you decided that the real you wasn't acceptable.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Problem with the Persona&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The problem with operating from a place of persona is that you can never actually receive love.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Even when people give you love, attention, or approval, there is always a voice in the back of your mind whispering:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;"Yeah, but they don't know the real me. They like the version I'm presenting—not who I actually am."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The love goes to the persona. And you are standing right behind it, wondering if any of it was ever really meant for you.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Self-Help Trap&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If you're not careful, self-improvement becomes another mask.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You build an idealized version of yourself in your head. The version that runs 50 habits at once, never takes an off day, and somehow wakes up motivated every morning. Everywhere you turn, the message is the same: "If you're not growing, you're dying."&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then you do something completely human: you sleep in, you skip the workout, you procrastinate, you have a low-energy week.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And instead of adjusting like it's no big deal, you use it as evidence to beat yourself up.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is the trap: We can use self-improvement to fuel self-hate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The very thing that is supposed to make you better ends up making you fragile—because your worth becomes tied to your performance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And underneath all of it? Shame.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The belief that who you are right now isn't okay. That you have to constantly be becoming someone else just to deserve love, success, or happiness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Real Solution&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The solution to all of this isn't more self-improvement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It's more self-acceptance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Where to Start&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. Trace the Roots&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Grab a journal and go somewhere quiet. Write down the messages you received as a kid that made you feel like it wasn't okay to be who you were—just as you were.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don't overthink it. Just let it flow. Try to trace back where some of this shame actually came from. It didn't appear out of nowhere. It has roots.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;You might discover:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your fear of being "too much" came from being told to quiet down as a child.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your need to always have a joke ready came from learning that humor kept the peace.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your perfectionism came from feeling that love was conditional on achievement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;One important thing: Name it, don't blame it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The goal isn't to trap yourself in victim mode or figure out whose fault everything was. You're simply trying to identify the messages so you can start questioning them.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. Experience Real Connection&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When you participate in authentic self-discovery groups—like Encounter, Bioenergetics, or Primal therapy—you realize something profound:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Nobody is perfect. In fact, many people are dealing with things far heavier than you ever imagined.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And the solution, you discover, is simple: Be as authentic as you can, in as many settings as you can.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The beautiful thing is that when you stop performing, you give others permission to stop performing too. Your spouse, your friends, your family—they can also be authentic.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And then, for the first time, two real entities can meet—without pretense, without masks.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;That is the foundation of true love.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; What Is Shame? https://youtu.be/twumEjZR0eM&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/What-Is-Shame.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/What-Is-Shame.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/twumEjZR0eM/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; If you have two versions of yourself, you feel embarrassed when you don't live up to your own standards. You want to improve, so you create a "better" version of yourself. One version is how you want to be seen in public—on social media, at work, among friends. This is the version that tells everyone, "I'm doing great." The other version is who you are in private. No show. No performance. This is the version with all the bad habits, the anxieties, the fears. And buried beneath it all, there is often a small voice that just wants to be authentic. But then the fear creeps in: What if other people discover my private self? That fear—that exposure—is shame. And when those two versions inevitably don't match, you feel a low-grade tension that never fully goes away. A constant, quiet unease. Guilt vs. Shame People often use "guilt" and "shame" interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. Guilt is: "I did something bad." Shame is: "I am bad." Shame is the belief that if people really knew you, they would reject you. And so you hide. You construct another version of yourself—a persona—because somewhere along the way, you decided that the real you wasn't acceptable. The Problem with the Persona The problem with operating from a place of persona is that you can never actually receive love. Even when people give you love, attention, or approval, there is always a voice in the back of your mind whispering: "Yeah, but they don't know the real me. They like the version I'm presenting—not who I actually am." The love goes to the persona. And you are standing right behind it, wondering if any of it was ever really meant for you. The Self-Help Trap If you're not careful, self-improvement becomes another mask. You build an idealized version of yourself in your head. The version that runs 50 habits at once, never takes an off day, and somehow wakes up motivated every morning. Everywhere you turn, the message is the same: "If you're not growing, you're dying." And then you do something completely human: you sleep in, you skip the workout, you procrastinate, you have a low-energy week. And instead of adjusting like it's no big deal, you use it as evidence to beat yourself up. This is the trap: We can use self-improvement to fuel self-hate. The very thing that is supposed to make you better ends up making you fragile—because your worth becomes tied to your performance. And underneath all of it? Shame. The belief that who you are right now isn't okay. That you have to constantly be becoming someone else just to deserve love, success, or happiness. The Real Solution The solution to all of this isn't more self-improvement. It's more self-acceptance. Where to Start 1. Trace the Roots Grab a journal and go somewhere quiet. Write down the messages you received as a kid that made you feel like it wasn't okay to be who you were—just as you were. Don't overthink it. Just let it flow. Try to trace back where some of this shame actually came from. It didn't appear out of nowhere. It has roots. You might discover: Your fear of being "too much" came from being told to quiet down as a child. Your need to always have a joke ready came from learning that humor kept the peace. Your perfectionism came from feeling that love was conditional on achievement. One important thing: Name it, don't blame it. The goal isn't to trap yourself in victim mode or figure out whose fault everything was. You're simply trying to identify the messages so you can start questioning them. 2. Experience Real Connection When you participate in authentic self-discovery groups—like Encounter, Bioenergetics, or Primal therapy—you realize something profound: Nobody is perfect. In fact, many people are dealing with things far heavier than you ever imagined. And the solution, you discover, is simple: Be as authentic as you can, in as many settings as you can. The beautiful thing is that when you stop performing, you give others permission to stop performing too. Your spouse, your friends, your family—they can also be authentic. And then, for the first time, two real entities can meet—without pretense, without masks. That is the foundation of true love.

You want to improve, so you create a "better" version of yourself. One version is how you want to be seen in public—on social media, at work, among friends. This is the version that tells everyone, "I'm doing great." The other version is who you are in private. No show. No performance. This is the version with all the bad habits, the anxieties, the fears. And buried beneath it all, there is often a small voice that just wants to be authentic. But then the fear creeps in: What if other people discover my private self? That fear—that exposure—is shame. And when those two versions inevitably don't match, you feel a low-grade tension that never fully goes away. A constant, quiet unease. Guilt vs. Shame People often use "guilt" and "shame" interchangeably, but they are not the same thing. Guilt is: "I did something bad." Shame is: "I am bad." Shame is the belief that if people really knew you, they would reject you. And so you hide. You construct another version of yourself—a persona—because somewhere along the way, you decided that the real you wasn't acceptable. The Problem with the Persona The problem with operating from a place of persona is that you can never actually receive love. Even when people give you love, attention, or approval, there is always a voice in the back of your mind whispering: "Yeah, but they don't know the real me. They like the version I'm presenting—not who I actually am." The love goes to the persona. And you are standing right behind it, wondering if any of it was ever really meant for you. The Self-Help Trap If you're not careful, self-improvement becomes another mask. You build an idealized version of yourself in your head. The version that runs 50 habits at once, never takes an off day, and somehow wakes up motivated every morning. Everywhere you turn, the message is the same: "If you're not growing, you're dying." And then you do something completely human: you sleep in, you skip the workout, you procrastinate, you have a low-energy week. And instead of adjusting like it's no big deal, you use it as evidence to beat yourself up. This is the trap: We can use self-improvement to fuel self-hate. The very thing that is supposed to make you better ends up making you fragile—because your worth becomes tied to your performance. And underneath all of it? Shame. The belief that who you are right now isn't okay. That you have to constantly be becoming someone else just to deserve love, success, or happiness. The Real Solution The solution to all of this isn't more self-improvement. It's more self-acceptance. Where to Start 1. Trace the Roots Grab a journal and go somewhere quiet.

You need more focus.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By definition, cleaning your house is productive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But who cares if you’re being productive on the wrong things?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Jeff Bezos has said that he gets paid to make about three good decisions a day. That’s it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He simply knows what matters and ignores everything else.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you learn new things, you have to apply them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here’s the trick: if you work or learn for just half an hour, then rest, then work for another half hour, you are much more productive. And once the work is done, you need to actually enjoy your free time. Otherwise, you won’t stay productive for long.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The best productivity advice I’ve ever gotten can be summed up in two words: do less.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do less of the stuff that doesn’t matter so you can focus on the one to three things that actually do.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why you feel busy but still stuck&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James Clear explains the difference between motion and action.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Motion = planning and learning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Action = what actually produces a result.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Both are necessary, but here’s the catch:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Why do we stay stuck in motion?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Because it protects us. It gives us a feeling of pseudo-productivity that feels much more comfortable than risking failure.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Next time you feel stuck, ask yourself: Is this motion or action?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Less Time = More Output&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When we set a clear deadline, we stop procrastinating.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And after working, we also need to set aside time to enjoy ourselves.

That’s because your brain bounces to two other tasks before returning to the original one.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Check your phone a few times during a deep work session, and you’ve lost hours just trying to get back to where you were.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;So, run your errands on one day instead of three. Check email twice a day instead of all day. And do what I do: film all my videos on the same day to save over an hour of setup time per session.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Group the small stuff and protect the deep stuff.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How to be creative: Be empty first&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you’re not feeling creative, brainstorm until you’re empty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I never force myself to be creative under pressure—it never works.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I feel most creative in the morning and at night.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In the morning, my mind is fresh and empty.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;At night, I let myself think through all the random, "stupid" stuff, and by the end, I feel empty again.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Here’s a one-liner to beat your inner perfectionist into submission:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Done is better than perfect, because perfect never gets done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Do the hard thing first&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;When you tackle the hardest task first, everything else feels easy.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The rest of the day could be chaos, and it wouldn’t bother me, because the thing that actually mattered is already done.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And if I can’t figure out the hard thing, I do the easy things instead.

The best productivity advice I’ve ever gotten can be summed up in two words: do less. Do less of the stuff that doesn’t matter so you can focus on the one to three things that actually do. Why you feel busy but still stuck James Clear explains the difference between motion and action. Motion = planning and learning. Action = what actually produces a result. Both are necessary, but here’s the catch: Why do we stay stuck in motion? Because it protects us. It gives us a feeling of pseudo-productivity that feels much more comfortable than risking failure. Next time you feel stuck, ask yourself: Is this motion or action? Less Time = More Output When we set a clear deadline, we stop procrastinating. And after working, we also need to set aside time to enjoy ourselves. Otherwise, our inner child will rebel and we’ll procrastinate even more. You’re not unproductive because you don’t have enough time. You’re unproductive because you have too much of it. Pay attention to when you feel most productive and creative. Everyone has a 2- to 3-hour window each day when they are roughly three times sharper than at any other time. Find your window and protect it. What if you get interrupted? Here’s a simple rule to become four times more productive: If something takes less than two minutes, do it now. Wash the dish. Reply to the text. Pay the bill. Confirm the plans. Every small task you put off adds invisible weight to your brain. By 2 p.m., you’re mentally exhausted without having done anything that really matters.

How to be creative: Be empty first If you’re not feeling creative, brainstorm until you’re empty. I never force myself to be creative under pressure—it never works. I feel most creative in the morning and at night. In the morning, my mind is fresh and empty. At night, I let myself think through all the random, "stupid" stuff, and by the end, I feel empty again. Here’s a one-liner to beat your inner perfectionist into submission: Done is better than perfect, because perfect never gets done. Do the hard thing first When you tackle the hardest task first, everything else feels easy. The rest of the day could be chaos, and it wouldn’t bother me, because the thing that actually mattered is already done. And if I can’t figure out the hard thing, I do the easy things instead.

But I could not heal it, and it became chronic within a year. Whenever I strained my arm, it started again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now, I have healed it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Massage&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Massage the entire arm with this castor oil blend:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- 60–70% castor oil&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- 20–30% DMSO&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- 10% black seed oil or clove oil&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Do this 3 to 5 times per day. Focus on the area of pain or the problem while you massage, but be gentle.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Stretching&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Always stretch your arm when you have pain. Stretch the arm with the help of your other arm. Bend your hand 90 degrees upward and stretch your straight arm, then bend your hand 90 degrees downward and stretch your straight arm again.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pain is gone.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now comes the magic!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Take 1 teaspoon of moringa powder with your food, 3 to 5 times per day. Moringa powder heals bone and joint inflammation and is used for that in Ayurveda.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Take 2 black seed oil capsules per day—best is 1000mg from Now. Never ever trust unbranded or unknown herb capsules. I only take herbs from Now or Double Swords.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- The first capsule you take on an empty stomach in the morning, and you don't eat anything for 30 minutes.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;- The second capsule you take at night, 2 hours after your dinner, and you don't eat anything afterward. You can drink moringa with water, black ginger, lemon, and honey.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Black ginger is also very good. It heals inflammation and is also an aphrodisiac, but it is hard to get. It tastes and smells like bitter medicine, yet it feels so good in the stomach.

I tried to heal it with ice, frequencies (Rife generator), stretching, and massage. But I could not heal it, and it became chronic within a year. Whenever I strained my arm, it started again. Now, I have healed it. MassageMassage the entire arm with this castor oil blend:- 60–70% castor oil- 20–30% DMSO- 10% black seed oil or clove oil Do this 3 to 5 times per day. Focus on the area of pain or the problem while you massage, but be gentle. StretchingAlways stretch your arm when you have pain. Stretch the arm with the help of your other arm. Bend your hand 90 degrees upward and stretch your straight arm, then bend your hand 90 degrees downward and stretch your straight arm again. Pain is gone. Now comes the magic!!! Take 1 teaspoon of moringa powder with your food, 3 to 5 times per day. Moringa powder heals bone and joint inflammation and is used for that in Ayurveda. Take 2 black seed oil capsules per day—best is 1000mg from Now. Never ever trust unbranded or unknown herb capsules. I only take herbs from Now or Double Swords. - The first capsule you take on an empty stomach in the morning, and you don't eat anything for 30 minutes.- The second capsule you take at night, 2 hours after your dinner, and you don't eat anything afterward. You can drink moringa with water, black ginger, lemon, and honey. Black ginger is also very good. It heals inflammation and is also an aphrodisiac, but it is hard to get. It tastes and smells like bitter medicine, yet it feels so good in the stomach. Just 1–2 grams of black ginger with lemon and honey. It heals inflammation and has been used for centuries in Thai and Chinese medicine. Have patience—it takes time to heal. But you will feel the difference in days. Always consult a doctor and check your tendinitis.

From the beginning, I stayed the first three months in quarantine… With my childhood, I was the worst case in every therapy group.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;---&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. Awareness&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;First, you need awareness when something is going wrong. Without awareness, you can’t solve any problem.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We all have blind spots. Invite a friend (or friends) or let them listen through your cell phone when you have an argument.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Then ask your friend what went wrong. You want an honest answer that can help you stop repeating the same issue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;All relationship problems are connected to your childhood — there is no exception.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Get a therapist to release the traumas that are driving your relationship problems.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;---&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. No rigid “rights”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;From the beginning, it was — and still is — absolutely ridiculous to me to demand your rights.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“If I do the housework, you do the garden work…” This will never ever work out.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For people like me, I don’t care if I have to work more. For lazy people, it’s a big issue to empty the garbage.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In our Ashram, we learned — and everybody should learn — to do every work without complaints. Finish. You got it.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;---&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. No ego trip&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What is your ego trip? Or your life standards that don’t fit your partner?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In every situation, ask yourself: “Is this an ego trip?” Or: “Does my behavior serve my relationship?”&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If not, adapt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Your task should be to serve, instead of to demand.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;---&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;4. Patience&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Have patience with yourself and with your spouse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; How to Solve All Relationship Problems? https://youtu.be/fhlmn978z88&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-Solve-All-Relationship-Problems.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/How-to-Solve-All-Relationship-Problems.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/fhlmn978z88/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; What kind of relationship problems do we face?

My intelligence is instinct.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Don't care what people say. Don't give a damn about their laws.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As far as I'm concerned, love means fighting, big fat lies, and a couple of slaps across the face.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I always thought my days spent in darkness [as a child she had cataracts and was unable to see for nearly four years] gave me a very special sensitivity.

Reduces Inflammation&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Chronic inflammation is at the root of many diseases, including cancer and heart disease. Moringa fights inflammation at the source.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In India, Moringa is traditionally used for arthritis, osteoarthritis, and bone pain.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3.

You can also apply Moringa oil directly to the skin for healing and protection.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;6. Protects Brain Health&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Moringa contains tryptophan (an amino acid) and vitamin B6, which help produce serotonin—the neurotransmitter responsible for mood, libido, and sleep. This makes it helpful for:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Depression&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Low libido&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Mood swings&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Insomnia&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;7.

Improves Sexual Drive&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Moringa can help increase testosterone levels while lowering cortisol (the stress hormone). This combination supports vitality and libido.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;10. Supports Women During Menopause&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Moringa helps regulate sexual hormones in women going through menopause, easing symptoms and supporting overall balance.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Moringa for Better Sleep&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Science has proven that taking 1 teaspoon of Moringa before bed promotes restful sleep.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;During sleep, your body rejuvenates—and Moringa provides many of the specific components your body needs for deep, restorative rest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Summary of Benefits&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Balances blood sugar&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Calms inflammation&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Boosts the immune system&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Supports liver detoxification&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Enhances digestion&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Improves heart health&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Enhances cognitive function&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Supports healthy skin regeneration&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Who Should NOT Consume Moringa Powder?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Always consult your physician before adding Moringa to your routine, especially if you have any of the following conditions:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pregnant women (Moringa may stimulate uterine contractions)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;People on blood-thinning medication (Moringa can slow clotting)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Those with low blood pressure (Moringa can lower it further)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Individuals with thyroid disorders (Moringa may affect thyroid function)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;People with kidney stones (Moringa contains oxalates)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Breastfeeding mothers (safety not well studied)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Diabetics on medication (Moringa may lower blood sugar too much—monitor closely)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video:&amp;nbsp; The Newly Discovered Super Herb: Moringa https://youtu.be/w9KkrOiJXNM&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/The-Newly-Discovered-Super-Herb-Moringa.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/The-Newly-Discovered-Super-Herb-Moringa.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/w9KkrOiJXNM/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; Moringa has been used for over 1,000 years.

Why? Because God is beyond all description. Our limited minds cannot comprehend God, so we limit God to an image we can more easily worship.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;A Startling Prediction&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Jordan Maxwell once knew someone—for many years—who had the gift of predicting exactly what would happen to him in six months or a year.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This person would tell him, in detail: the exact date, the time of day, where he would be, which person he would be with, and even what he would say.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Now here is the point.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When someone can forecast such things with that level of precision, the conclusion is unsettling: Our life is already lived.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Hindu Perspective&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;If we compare that conclusion with Hindu philosophy, we find a striking parallel.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Hindus suggest that we are like someone sitting in a cinema, fixed to our chair with ropes, watching our life unfold on the screen. We cannot interfere because we are only the witness.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When we watch an exciting movie, we identify with the main character—the one who endures all the problems. We lose the ability to differentiate between reality and the movie.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And that, they say, is exactly our life.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In reality, we are only the witness or watcher—not the persona, not the body, not the actions, not the emotions, not the thoughts.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This is real meditation: just watching what happens, without identification.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Is It All Written?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Have you ever tried astrology based on your birth horoscope? Look at how accurate it can be. Coincidence?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And consider this: Thousands of fish or birds change course instantly, as if the whole school or flock were a single body. Who—or what—is controlling them?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The Matrix Question&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Have you seen the movie The Matrix?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It makes us wonder: Do we really live in a Matrix?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We often notice that many events happen synchronously, even when they have nothing directly to do with each other. Carl Jung wrote extensively about this.

He argues that our wrong translations of the Bible lead to wrong understanding—and wrong assumptions. But does trueness matter? Think about it: How many Hindus or Germans were killed because of their faith in many gods? The Problem with Translation Jordan Maxwell, an independent researcher, discovered that in the original Old Testament, the meaning of "God" is different from what we read in today's Bibles. In fact, you can read about gods (plural) in the Old Testament and Genesis: The Jews chose, from among several gods, one God for Israel—and worshiped Him as their national deity. The description of God differs between Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. But here is the key: All of these Gods are representatives of the Almighty God—the ultimate, unknowable Source. This is exactly the same as in the Hindu religion. In Hinduism, you can choose anything as a representative of the Almighty God. Why? Because God is beyond all description. Our limited minds cannot comprehend God, so we limit God to an image we can more easily worship. A Startling Prediction Jordan Maxwell once knew someone—for many years—who had the gift of predicting exactly what would happen to him in six months or a year. This person would tell him, in detail: the exact date, the time of day, where he would be, which person he would be with, and even what he would say. Now here is the point. When someone can forecast such things with that level of precision, the conclusion is unsettling: Our life is already lived. The Hindu Perspective If we compare that conclusion with Hindu philosophy, we find a striking parallel. The Hindus suggest that we are like someone sitting in a cinema, fixed to our chair with ropes, watching our life unfold on the screen. We cannot interfere because we are only the witness. When we watch an exciting movie, we identify with the main character—the one who endures all the problems. We lose the ability to differentiate between reality and the movie. And that, they say, is exactly our life. In reality, we are only the witness or watcher—not the persona, not the body, not the actions, not the emotions, not the thoughts. This is real meditation: just watching what happens, without identification. Is It All Written? Have you ever tried astrology based on your birth horoscope? Look at how accurate it can be. Coincidence? And consider this: Thousands of fish or birds change course instantly, as if the whole school or flock were a single body. Who—or what—is controlling them?

If taking it later in the day, take it at least 2 hours after a meal, or 30 minutes before a meal. If you take medication, space this mixture at least 2 hours apart from your medicine. First, consult your doctor before taking black seed oil, especially if you are on medication. 1.

Chronic Digestion Problems, IBS, and Gut Issues When your gut is inflamed, everything suffers. This remedy improves digestion, mood, energy, immunity, and mental clarity.

After all, the closer you are, the more likely ruptures are to happen, and how you handle them matters.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Here are three things emotionally intelligent couples do differently when they are in conflict.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;1. They don’t assume the worst about their partner’s intent&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We’ve all been there. One sharp comment can seem like an attack on your character. For example, you forget to text back and it is interpreted as not caring. A request for space could be misconstrued as abandonment.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Instead of assuming the worst, the most emotionally intelligent couples will ask questions like:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“Can you help me understand what was happening for you?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“What did you hear me say?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“What part of this feels hardest?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“What’s been on your mind lately that I haven’t asked about?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;“What’s something you want more of right now?”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The strongest, most emotionally intelligent couples genuinely see who their partner is becoming, not who they want them to be or who they once were.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;2. They take responsibility for their emotions and plan how to regulate them together&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Emotionally intelligent couples don’t expect their partner to fix their feelings, but they also don’t shut each other out. A partner’s presence can help them stay regulated and connected, even in anger or frustration.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Pausing during conflict is one of the hardest skills. It’s hardest when you’re triggered and least able to access your tools. I often encourage couples to plan ahead with a “clean pause” script, like: “I need 20 minutes so I don’t say something I’ll regret. I’ll come back.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;3. They stay curious, even during major conflicts&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;When people feel threatened, the brain loves shortcuts. Emotionally intelligent couples slow this process down and become, in effect, investigators of each other’s inner worlds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Curiosity has been associated with greater closeness and intimacy in conversations, especially during moments of disagreement.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Part of why curiosity disappears whether it’s one, 10, or 20 years in is because we start living off our assumptions. We tell ourselves we already know what our partner meant, what they felt, and why they did it because the person across from you is so familiar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;The problem is that once you think you already know the story, you stop learning about your partner’s actual experience. Conflict then becomes two competing narratives instead of a shared inquiry into what’s really happening, even when you disagree.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Video: The best relationships stay connected regardless of what. https://youtu.be/t3G0YEVtmhI&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My Audio: https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/The-best-relationships-stay-connected-regardless-of-what.mp3&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><enclosure length="0" type="audio/mpeg" url="https://divinesuccess.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/Podcast5/The-best-relationships-stay-connected-regardless-of-what.mp3"/><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" height="72" url="https://img.youtube.com/vi/t3G0YEVtmhI/default.jpg" width="72"/><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">0</thr:total><author>rudi.zimmerer@gmail.com (take pictures)</author><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>&amp;nbsp; What sets emotionally intelligent couples apart is their ability to stay connected, even when disagreements arise.
