		<description><![CDATA[&#160; This BBC documentary explores the scientific research done by Dr. Mosley in the United Kingdom into high intensity interval training, which is characterized by short bursts of intense exercise followed by periods of rest. The latest scientific research is finding that high intensity interval training (HIIT) not only vastly outperforms conventional aerobic endurance exercise, it also provides health benefits you simply can&#8217;t get from regular exercise. The difference is that these high intensity exercise regimes have been shown to provide a huge boost in production of human growth hormone (HGH), which has been dubbed the &#8220;fitness hormone&#8221; because of its profound health and anti-aging benefits. Instead of having to spent hours at the gym, you can do high intensity interval training workouts at home or outside that can be completed in minutes, not hours. The last part of the documentary also reveals some fascinating scientific research that examines the impact of sitting all day and the negative health effects of the modern sedentary lifestyle. In a nutshell, if you&#8217;re sitting all day at an office job, it won&#8217;t be enough to counter the negative effects to your health and well-being of being sedentary (even if you&#8217;re going to the gym at night). What you need to do is change your lifestyle so you get up and move each hour. Watch this fascinating documentary to learn more about the science behind high intensity interval training. You&#8217;ll be surprised and shocked at what you learn.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Catchy music with great beats is the ultimate way to increase your energy and motivation when you&#8217;re exercising outside or working out indoors. I created this Beat Energizer mix to put together a sequence of tracks that gets me motivated.

		<description><![CDATA[There’s a big shift happening, and technology is largely the reason. What&#8217;s happening is we are entering a post-industrial era where mundane repetitive tasks are performed by machines and software, while people are left to do creative work. This is what author Daniel Pink calls the emerging conceptual age that will be ruled by artistry, empathy and emotion. He says that because of this change, such things as empathy, creativity, and finding and creating meaning are going to be the most important skills to build for the future. We already have computers that attach to our bodies and perform tasks that have been previously reserved for doctors. The emergence of the last 5 years of the Quantified Self movement has resulted in all kinds of novel ways to record and measure of our physical and mental performance so that we can diagnose problems, understand our unique patterns and improve upon ourselves. But the idea of Quantified Self has spark a lot of debate. Critics have called it navel-gazing and overly egocentric. They are probably imagining some alpha nerd who obsessively records everything to see how he measures up against other people. This is not the way I see Quantified Self. The last thing we need in our culture is feed our egocentric narcissism and become even more absorbed and our smartphones. What we really need is freedom from this false self and a deeper sense of empathy and compassion for others. The idea being propositioned is the ability to track our own data to make ourselves better &#8212; but should we only be concentrating on the ‘self’ when we could use it to look at and help everyone? Digital Empathy The idea of Quantified Us is not new, but I believe it’s the one to focus on. By using this self-tracking technology to not only understand ourselves (of course it is still good for that), but to also gain more insight into those people around us, will help to foster empathy and compassion. Being able to experience our own feelings, and see what they look like as a set of data, may allow us to “feel” the experiences of others when we see their data. A digital form of empathy, where we vicariously feel the emotions of others by understanding what it’s like to have a similar heart rate, body temperature, or even activity in similar brain regions as them when we&#8217;re in engaged in a creative activity or at play.  Welcome To The Club Then there’s also the feeling of being part of the community. This is what is really missing in the world today. When our data is mapped onto the collective well-being of our society, we become part of something much bigger than ourselves. We become part of a digital entity, where we can form a bond with the whole group and hopefully use technology to then reach out and build real-world relationships. This type of community will allow anyone with a screen to see the collective health of the city, country, the world, and develop a better sense of the issues relating not only to themselves and their personal interests. It could also promote behaviour changes across society. Being part of a group places an added form of motivation and accountability in our lives, and this could result in better health conscious decisions being made so as to improve the health of everyone in our communities. Sometimes we feel a greater desire to help someone else than we do for ourselves, we are compassionate beings. Quantified Us could not only help us help each other, but it would be achieved more accurately and easily with the insights provided by our technology. As Daniel Pink stated in his excellent book A Whole New Brain: “Empathy is much more than a vocational skill necessary for surviving 21st century labor markets. It’s an ethic for living. It’s a means of understanding other human beings. Empathy makes us human and is an essential part of living a life of meaning.” With that in mind, I hope we can use your technology mindfully to build a more empathetic society. What do you think, can technology increase empathy?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The term Quantified Self was coined by Silicon Valley pioneers Gary Wolf and Kevin Kelly and they describe it as a way to gain &#8220;self-knowledge through numbers&#8221;. Basically, it involves tracking your performance using self-tracking technology and it has evolved into the biohacking, quantified health and wearable technology industries. From my experience, I have found that quantified self tools are ideal &#8220;training wheels&#8221; for building new habits and using the data to optimize my health, productivity and overall performance. With clear goals and an action plan in place, these self-tracking tools provide me with valuable feedback that I am pushing my limits and consistently improving over time. I also find them valuable when I get sidetracked from goals because they enable me to identify the habit patterns and mental obstacles that are disrupting my ability to focus and stay motivated. In the video below, Jason Silva talks about how quantified self technologies will allow us to better understand ourselves and how it could be the beginning of &#8220;human 2.0&#8221;.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This post is from Will at Galactic Free Press. I really like the clarity with which he approaches the problem of the compulsively thinking mind and I wanted to share it with you. Where does fear exist? Does it have any physical existence, can you hold it in your hand? Same with judgment, where does that exist? How about hatred, jealousy, all the negative emotions? Where do all these things &#8220;exist&#8221;? Are not all these things the cause of enormous pain and suffering for people? It seems understanding the nature of their existence is extremely important. The answer is obvious, they exist in the mind, and they have no existence outside of the mind. You may see things like violence happening around you, which is an expression of anger, but violence isn&#8217;t anger itself. You may see the expressions of negative emotions happening in the world, but the negative emotions themselves are only in the mind. The Compulsively Thinking Mind Is The Problem The mind is the source of all problems, you may believe that someone losing the use of their legs is a physical problem, but the reality is that the problem is still in the mind. There&#8217;s people with physical disabilities who curse each day they&#8217;re alive, and there&#8217;s people with the same disabilities who have learned to live with them and are much happier because of it. Physically, it&#8217;s the same situation, yet mentally it&#8217;s vastly different. It&#8217;s the difference between happiness and misery, simply because of a mental attitude. The way things are is the way things are, it&#8217;s the mind that judges that as being a problem or not. Since suffering only exists in the mind, it seems obvious that the mind is the source of suffering. In fact the mind is what creates all the problems, the whole idea of a &#8220;problem&#8221; is a concept within the mind. None of these things should be too difficult to accept, at least mentally, but it seems application of this knowledge is something people struggle with. I say this because most people are still trying to solve their problems using the very thing that created the problems, their mind. How often have you heard that you can&#8217;t solve a problem using the same kind of thinking that created the problem? Yet all day long, every single day, people attempt to do precisely that. That kind of unconscious creation makes life very difficult, you can easily create two more problems for every problem that is &#8220;solved&#8221;. The mind is what creates the problems, it cannot transcend them. Institutions Value Social Control, Not Your Liberation All of the religious and spiritual systems, all of the political, economic, scientific, and psychological systems, all of those things the whole world is run with, are based upon using the mind to solve the problems the mind created. It&#8217;s not going to work, yet people foolishly put their hope into such an impossibility. It inevitably results in more mental suffering, and I recommend realizing this as soon as possible. Unless people collectively come to this realization, the same patterns will continue to occur. I have no doubt that many of the people reading this right now, probably most of the people reading this, are looking for mental understandings. That&#8217;s simply the nature of the paradigm most people are living from, and it&#8217;s why people have so much difficultly transcending illusion. People want to use an illusion to try and escape from an illusion. This is why so much of spirituality, especially the new age stuff, is nothing more than fantasy. If you try to use the mind to see beyond the illusion, you&#8217;re just going to create more illusions. If you cannot solve the problem of the mind with the mind, what then? Since most people live almost entirely from their minds, this seems like a paradox. We have all these spiritual practices that are supposed to solve this issue, but spiritual practices, and in fact all spiritual knowledge, is still mind-based. It may help some, but it doesn&#8217;t solve the root problem. It&#8217;s inherently limited because it&#8217;s still part of the mind. Finding A Balance Between Your Heart and Mind This is why it&#8217;s often repeated to get out of the mind, and into the Heart. The Heart doesn&#8217;t have judgment, so the Heart doesn&#8217;t have any problems. You may believe that the Heart suffers, but it&#8217;s not really the Heart that suffers, it&#8217;s the mind&#8217;s unfulfilled desires that create suffering. It&#8217;s the mind that creates the illusion of separation, and it&#8217;s the mind that mourns a perceived loss, which is really the mind feeling sorry for itself. The mind can create the illusion of healing, in fact this is what&#8217;s known as the placebo effect. Since the mind created the suffering it has enormous control over the suffering. If you really believe in your mind that something will make you feel better, chances are it will appear to end the suffering. If you don&#8217;t understand that the mind is what created the suffering in the first place, this might lead you to believe the mind has enormous healing  powers. Of course, the patterns that originally created the problem are still there, and chances are the suffering will return in one form or another. The more you get out of the mind, the closer you get to God. This is the whole point of meditation, yet this is often missed and people get all caught up in meditation techniques and systems, more mental creations. Simply Being Present is the most effective meditation, yet that&#8217;s too simple for the mind. The mind needs to complicate things, as complicating reality is how the mind exists in the first place. The Mind Is A Valuable Tool (With Limitations) You don&#8217;t need to get rid of the mind entirely, that will happen sooner or later anyway. The key is to stop associating your self with your mind. You awareness doesn&#8217;t originate from your mind, your mind is only one [&#8230;]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Quantified Self movement is gaining steam, but to truly flourish there needs to be some adjustments. Having greater insight into yourself and how you operate is and will continue to be very beneficial. But to get the most of your quantified health data you&#8217;ll likely want to know how you stack up to others, something that isn&#8217;t implied in quantified &#8220;self&#8221;. I&#8217;m not talking about competing with others, although that&#8217;s definitely a possibility. What I&#8217;m referring to is that, to really know if you&#8217;re healthy, you need to know what healthy is, especially in regard to your age, height, body type, and other factors. It&#8217;s no good comparing your health to other people if they&#8217;re nothing like you are. A healthy and fit body exists in different forms for different people, so what you need is to compare yourself to others that share your features. We should move from quantified self to quantified us. The health industry will likely be the biggest benefactor of all this new quantified health data, but to make the most out of it, we need to pool our data together, to get insights not only from ourselves, but all the other people around the world that share similar bodies. This sort of power will help us know exactly what is good for us, and it will also allow more accurate diagnoses of health problems. IBM&#8217;s Watson is supposedly better than doctors at spotting cancer, it can churn through the 160 hours worth of reading new medical studies each week, and recently its processing speed increased by 240 percent. And it can be accessed inexpensively through the cloud from anywhere. This means that doctors can rent time with this quantified health juggernaut to get insights and recommendations from a pool of data larger that grows larger every day &#8212; inside a computer that, even two years ago, had &#8220;&#8216;learned&#8217; the same amount of knowledge as the average second-year medical student.&#8221; Imagine a future where this type of computer can synthesize more medical information than is possible for a human, combine it with your unique data, and give you personalized information and recommendations about your own health and well-being &#8212; in real-time and without leaving the house. What&#8217;s Standing in the Way? A recent article on Wired talked about the &#8216;degrees of meaning&#8217; in the quantified self movement. They pointed out that &#8220;our gadgets will have to move beyond the novelty of gratuitous behavioral data, which we might call a ‘first degree of meaning.’ They’ll have to address a second degree of meaning, where self-tracking helps motivate people toward self-improvement, and a third degree of meaning, where people can use data to make better choices in the moments when a decision is actually being made.&#8221; We&#8217;ve been at stage one for a while &#8212; we can track most of the functions and fluctuations of our bodies, from our brain waves to changes in our heart rate or even our DNA &#8212; but we need to go beyond simply recording it. It needs to motivate us, and allow us to make better choices. I believe motivation will come not from having a pool of information at our fingertips but from being able to see how we fare against our previous milestones and against others, especially other people we have a lot common with and are part of the same communities. Making better decisions will come too. While we&#8217;ll be able to see how healthy we are for our body type, we&#8217;ll also have access to real-time and personal information from the likes of Watson &#8212; we&#8217;ll know exactly what works for us the moment we need to.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This documentary shines a light on what love really means in the deepest sense of the word. Rather than merely being an emotional state, this film explores how love is more a state of consciousness with different levels that we must learn to access on the spectrum of our awareness and being. The argument here is that love is about learning to see reality more objectively &#8212; as it actually is &#8211; rather than as we hope, wish or want it be. This applies just as much to our relationship to ourselves as it does to others and the outer world we exist in. Most fundamentally, this profound documentary challenges our cultural disposition toward a self-centered view of love, reality and the Universe. This quote from the film really struck a chord with me: &#8220;We seem to mistake many things for love and we even judge the intellect as bad, mistaking it for the monkey predator mind. Many suggest that we should think with our heart and do what we feel like doing. This mostly results in mere self-deception and a lack of critical thinking. It&#8217;s more about aligning the heart with the intellect, intuition with logic and mysticism with science.&#8221; Enjoy this documentary, I hope it challenges you &#8212; as it did for me &#8212; to think differently about love.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today we live so much of our lives in the abstract world of the compulsively thinking mind. The result is an obsession with happiness, success and finding ourselves. In this profound talk on Educating The Mind Through Meditation, Alan Watts discuss how this approach just leads to more abstraction and rumination, rather than the deep sense of connection we are instinctively looking for. When we stop talking to ourselves and trying to make sense of the world and come to stillness in meditation, a whole new richer world of experience becomes possible. &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our deepest, most intractable problems can&#8217;t be solved by merely thinking alone. We need to learn see, feel and directly experience the world in a profound new way. The first glimpse of this new higher state of conscious intelligence is discovered in the &#8220;felt presence&#8221; of observing without judgement. Meditation is the gateway to our higher intelligence that we cultivate through the intentional expansion of consciousness. The highest form of human intelligence is to observe yourself without judgement. &#8211; Jiddu Krishnamurti]]></description>
