If You Always Have Relationship Problems, This May Be Why…

May 30, 2016 by Power of Positivity

Do you ever feel that you have unhealthy relationships with others? That you just can’t seem to let go of codependent tendencies, or the opposite – feeling totally numb to your emotions and distant from others. You also feel like your creativity can’t blossom as it should, and that you feel stuck in one particular feeling or emotion.

You don’t feel that you relate to yourself well, and therefore, you can’t possibly relate to the world around you. If this sounds like you, you might have a blocked sacral chakra. The sacral chakra, or the second chakra, is located three inches below the navel, right in the center of your lower abdomen. This chakra governs the emotional body, creativity, sensuality, and pleasure.

Below, let’s talk a bit more about the sacral chakra, and what you can do to get it unblocked.

IF YOU ALWAYS HAVE RELATIONSHIP PROBLEMS, THIS MAY BE WHY…

The Sanskrit name for the Sacral chakra is “Svadhisthana”, meaning “your own place”. We can infer from this that by balancing your Sacral chakra, you will feel more at home, and know your place in the world. This chakra is represented by the color orange most commonly.

Characteristics of the Sacral chakra:

Emotions and feelings
Relationships with yourself, others, and the world around you
How you express your sexuality and sensual pleasures
Meshing the outer and inner worlds
Creativity
The fantasy world

Ultimately, the sacral chakra represents our ability to relate to ourselves and the world around us. It helps us to express and understand our emotions, when properly balanced. It’s the chakra of pleasure, allowing us to enjoy life through our senses, and encourages us to remain flexible in our feelings and emotions.

A second function of the throat chakra deals with expanding our creativity, and really diving into our innermost worlds to understand what brings us passion in life. The sacral chakra also helps us to express our sexuality, and not feel ashamed or embarrassed by it. A balanced sacral chakra will allow you to feel comfortable with your emotions, sexuality, and creativity. Opening the sacral chakra means letting go of negativity surrounding your feelings, expression of sexuality, and the way you spread your creative gifts with the world.

SIGNS OF A BLOCKED SACRAL CHAKRA:

A blocked sacral chakra can make you feel out of touch with yourself and those around you. It can also make you feel trapped in your emotions, and unable to express them clearly. You also will likely feel insecure about your sexuality. However, an overactive sacral chakra can lead to sexual addiction, overreacting, emotional attachment and neediness in relationships, as well as stomach pains and muscle aches.

The following are symptoms of an imbalanced sacral chakra:

Codependency and emotional attachment
Feeling trapped in your emotions
The opposite: Feeling apathetic toward your emotions
Sexual addiction and obsession
Or the opposite: Low sex drive, feeling distant from others
Overreacting
Fear of true happiness
Low levels of creativity

A blocked sacral chakra can affect your relationships with others, as well as your zest for life. A sacral chakra blockage can also make it difficult to express your emotions clearly, and can make you prone to either overreacting or stifling your feelings. Upon opening this chakra, you will find it easy to express yourself sexually and creatively, and will feel close and connected to others.

Some common physical symptoms of blockage include:

premenstrual syndrome
anemia
hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
lower back pain
joint problems
spleen and kidney issues
low energy
low libido
muscle aches
stomach cramps

EMOTIONAL SIGNS OF SACRAL CHAKRA BLOCKAGE

depression
lack of boundaries
overly sensitive, standoffish, or indulgent
fear and/or anxiety
detachment
co-dependency
manipulation
panic attacks

An imbalanced sacral chakra can lead to two extremes; either total detachment from others, or total dependency on others. You might feel as though your emotions have a mind of their own, and you cannot control them. If you feel that you have a blocked sacral chakra, read on to find out how to clear this blockage so you can live authentically and freely.

WHAT TO DO ABOUT A BLOCKED SACRAL CHAKRA

Clearing the sacral chakra involves a lot of tuning into your higher self, and giving your mind and body what they need to thrive.

A few beginner steps to clear the sacral chakra include:

Letting go of past emotional pain. One reason why you might feel either unable to open up, or trapped by your emotions, is that you carry so much of your past around with you. This can greatly dampen our emotional spirit, so make sure you talk with someone regularly about your emotions, journal, or even sing songs that reflect your feelings.
Practice hip opening yoga poses. This chakra deals with experiencing pleasure, both sexually and non-sexually. Opening your hips can help you to experience more of the good things in life. Some ideas of yoga poses to try include:
- Open angle pose ( Upavistha Konasana)
- Cow face pose (Gomukhasana)
- One-legged king pigeon pose (Eka Pada Rajakapotasana)
- Reclining bound angle pose (Supta Baddha Konasana)
- Half frog pose (Ardha Bhekasana)
- Fire log pose (Agnistambhasana)
Incorporate orange colors into your life to help boost this chakra’s energy. Wear orange clothing, eat more orange foods, such as oranges, orange bell peppers, carrots, cantaloupe, and even cinnamon, and place orange items around your home.
Meditate on this chakra. Imagine the orange lotus flower near your belly button, and hold this image in your mind. Remember to breathe deeply, and practice positive affirmations as well.
Use essential oils, such as the following:
- Patchouli
- Ylang-Ylang
- Bergamot
- Sandalwood
- Clary Sage
- Jasmine
- Orange
- Rose
Finally, practice energy healing with stones and crystals that correspond to the sacral chakra, such as these:
- Citrine
- Carnelian
- Orange calcite
- Moonstone

NASA Has Just Discovered Over 1,000 New Planets

May 28, 2016 by Power of Positivity

On May 10, 2016, NASA confirmed the presence of more than 1,200 new planets in our galaxy, discovered by the Kepler mission. This makes the largest collection of planets ever discovered at one time.

“This announcement more than doubles the number of confirmed planets from Kepler,” said Ellen Stofan, chief scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “This gives us hope that somewhere out there, around a star much like ours, we can eventually discover another Earth.”

Analysis performed on the Kepler space telescope’s July 2015 planet candidate catalog identified 4,302 potential planets, of which 1,284 have greater than 99% probability of being a planet. This is the minimum percentage required in order to receive the status of a planet. Kepler searches in particular for planets in the “habitable zone,” or the planets in close enough proximity to a star for water to pool on the surface.

“Before the Kepler space telescope launched, we did not know whether exoplanets were rare or common in the galaxy. Thanks to Kepler and the research community, we now know there could be more planets than stars,” said Paul Hertz, Astrophysics Division director at NASA Headquarters. “This knowledge informs the future missions that are needed to take us ever-closer to finding out whether we are alone in the universe.”

Kepler captures planets by detecting the slight decreases in brightness that occur when planets pass in front of their stars, comparable to the May 9 Mercury transit of the sun. Since space missions first discovered planets outside our solar system two decades ago, scientists have committed to the tedious process of verifying new planets one at a time.

“Planet candidates can be thought of like bread crumbs,” said Morton. “If you drop a few large crumbs on the floor, you can pick them up one by one. But, if you spill a whole bag of tiny crumbs, you’re going to need a broom. This statistical analysis is our broom.”

Among the newly confirmed planets, almost 550 could resemble rocky planets like Earth, according to their size. In addition, nine of these orbit in their sun’s habitable zone, meaning they have the perfect temperature for water to pool on the surface of the planet. With the addition of these nine, that makes a total of 21 exoplanets that have the same size and orbit as the Earth to the sun.

“They say not to count our chickens before they’re hatched, but that’s exactly what these results allow us to do based on probabilities that each egg (candidate) will hatch into a chick (bona fide planet),” said Natalie Batalha, co-author of the paper and the Kepler mission scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, California. “This work will help Kepler reach its full potential by yielding a deeper understanding of the number of stars that harbor potentially habitable, Earth-size planets — a number that’s needed to design future missions to search for habitable environments and living worlds.”

Out of the nearly 5,000 possible planets found out there, more than 3,200 have been confirmed, and Kepler discovered 2,325 of these. Launched in March 2009, Kepler is the first NASA space mission to discover Earth-sized, habitable planets. Kepler found the new planets in a small portion of the night sky, between the constellations of Lyra and Cygnus.

For four years, Kepler monitored 150,000 stars in this single patch of sky, measuring the slight decreases in brightness when the planets transit their stars. In 2018, NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite will use the same method to monitor 200,000 bright stars close by, focusing on Earth-sized and Super Earth-sized planets.

“Everything is looking good for the spacecraft,” said Charlie Sobeck, Kepler’s mission manager, who speculates that the spacecraft has “something over two more years of fuel” left to keep searching for new planets.

6 Behaviors of Socially Awkward People (And How To Avoid Them)

May 28, 2016 by Power of Positivity

Tripping over your words, feeling anxious, and struggling to find the right words to say are common behaviors of socially awkward people. Lacking social skills can be overcome with some courage and practice, as well as some positive thoughts about your ability to be a conversational genius.

Humans are social beings. Much of what we need to survive we get by relying on others. Our ability to communicate well with others in social settings is important to our total well-being.

There are some traits of social awkwardness which, when taken to more severe levels, are the traits of adults with low-support autism or Asperger’s syndrome. Researchers created an Awkward Moments Test, which is a series of video clips of characters experiencing socially uncomfortable moments. The researchers then ask people to watch the videos and describe the emotional state of the person in the video.

Human communication includes many subtle styles that can be hard to detect. Pretending, being ironic, joking, telling a white lie, using a figure of speech, or persuading someone are all situations where we might misunderstand what is being said and have a socially awkward situation.

Let’s look at 6 behaviors of socially awkward people and how to avoid them so you can stop avoiding social situations.

6 Behaviors of Socially Awkward People (and how to avoid them)

1. Getting anxious around other people

Fear of judgment, fear of crowds, fear of saying the wrong thing. As a matter of fact, fear is one thing that can keep people away from situations where they have to interact with others. Fear is a feeling in your body that something isn’t right. The good news is that you can talk yourself out of it.

Feeling a moment of fear is a way for your social awkwardness to help you recognize that you need to take action. Associate professor of psychology, Joshua Clegg says that social awkwardness is like an early warning system. For example, you feel the moment of awkwardness when someone tells an insulting joke. Use the feeling to act by excusing yourself to go refresh a drink.

2. Missing non-verbal social cues

Missing the cues that tell us when someone is no longer interested in talking can be one thing that makes your social encounters awkward. Look for the following signs that your conversation is over.

Non-verbal cues that someone is finished speaking or ready to move on to a new topic:

Feet pointed away from you
Torso or head pointed away from you
Starts doing another activity
No longer making eye contact
Fidgeting
Moving further away

Look for the non-verbal cues that someone is ready to end a conversation and let them exit gracefully. Say ‘Did you need to get going?’ or ‘Well (name) it was great to see you again’ to start wrapping up the conversation in a pleasant way.

Verbal cues that someone is finished speaking or ready to move on to a new topic:

Changing the topic
No longer asking questions
Speaking only in short phrases like ‘Um hmm’ or ‘Yes/No’

When you catch on to these verbal cues, wrap up your own speaking and ask the other person a question.

3. Talking too much or too little

A good conversation has a flow of giving and take, talking and listening. Socially awkward people can tend to talk so much that they monopolize the conversation. If this is your awkward conversational style, try to slow your rate of speaking and limit yourself to 4 sentences, then pause to let your partner speak.

Sometimes though, they aren’t sure what to say, so they stand there quietly, wondering if, or when, they should speak. When you aren’t sure what to say, try small talk. Small talk is the art of talking about nothing much really.

Small talk topics can include the weather, your outfit, TV shows, good restaurants to try, etc. Basically these are everyday things that we can discuss that do not usually arouse negative emotions in people.

4. Talking about awkward or touchy subjects

Most people know that talking about politics, sex, or religion are very sensitive subjects. Socially awkward people may have missed the lesson on this because they tend to be the ones to make you cringe when they bring up controversial topics in conversation.

Topics that people feel passionately about should be avoided rather than bringing up feelings of anger when one person’s view is different than another person’s.

Avoid talking about touchy subjects, but take your cue from the person you are speaking with. If they bring up a sensitive topic, try saying ‘Well we might be getting into a sensitive area here but if you’d like to know my opinion I will tell you.’

5. Being too honest

Mastering the social graces usually requires some small form of lying, or at least withholding what you really feel about someone. We call these white lies. In other words, you should not tell a person that you really hate the clothes they are wearing.

Social norms are the rules that most people agree define what is acceptable behavior for people in groups. Generally speaking, interrupting and insulting others are two behaviors that we know are frowned upon, so avoiding these behaviors will help you be less socially awkward.

6. Being unable to detect or express emotions

Your friends may think you are socially awkward when you are unable to express empathy after they describe a significant loss that affected them. The same is true if you are unable to express joy for them when they are happy about a promotion or some other joyful event.

Similarly, not being able to detect emotional signals from the body language or facial expressions of another person is connected to more frequent incidents of social awkwardness.

6 Ways To Turn Off Your Weight Gain Hormones

May 27, 2016 by Chris Butler

Seven different hormones can cause weight gain. Once you understand how they work in your body, you can turn off their power to make you overweight.

We gain weight often can seem to be due to what is happening in our lives that cause us stress. Sometimes, even though we watch what we eat and exercise, we feel like our weight gain is out of control.

Let’s look further at how you can work with your body to turn off your weight gain hormones and have the body you desire.

6 Ways to Turn Off Your Weight Gain Hormones

Here are proactive steps you can take to jumpstart weight loss.

1. Eat plenty of protein to balance your hormones

Ghrelin is made in the digestive system, and it is called the hunger hormone because it increases your appetite when your body needs the energy to use. Being able to suppress ghrelin’s effects would help us turn off this weight gain hormone.

Research published in the American Diabetes Association found that ‘Ghrelin administration stimulates GH secretion and causes weight gain by increasing food intake and reducing fat utilization in rodents.’

The researchers looked at lean and obese people’s levels of this weight hormone. They found that ghrelin was found in lower concentrations in obese people than thin people.

To turn off your ghrelin hormone so you won’t gain weight, eat a diet high in protein and avoid high-fat foods. Protein helps suppress ghrelin production in the digestive system to keep you from eating more and gaining weight.

2. Remove sugar from your diet

Sugar is sneaky because it shows up in many forms in many foods. Getting rid of it entirely can be a challenge in label reading. However, it may be the best thing you can do to turn off your weight gain hormone insulin.

Insulin is most closely associated with diabetes, which affects millions of people worldwide. The pancreas produces insulin to help digest sugars that you eat. High insulin levels in your blood can affect your likelihood of weight gain.

Insulin helps glucose to be absorbed by the cells and stored as energy, which is why you can gain weight when you have more sugar in your diet. Storing energy in fat cells is not what you need to turn off weight gain.

3. Eat less dairy (hormone free dairy might not do the trick)

Hormone-free dairy products aren’t necessarily a safe means of avoiding extra hormones that cause weight gain.

The dairy industry has responded to public pressure to provide hormone-free dairy products to consumers. Research shows that eating animal hormones may trigger early development in teenage girls and boys.

Nutritional and medical experts have realized that the milk that cows and other animals provide is meant to grow and raise their own young, not humans. Avoid these non-human hormones that can mess with your own.

4. Avoid soy products that can cause imbalanced hormones

Women undergoing menopause experience a natural decrease in the estrogen that their body produces now that they can no longer bear children. As a result of the decreased estrogen, body fat increases. Soy products contain phytoestrogen, which can block the normal human estrogen in the body.

Estrogen has a role in the production of leptin. Leptin is one of the most important hormones to reduce weight gain because it regulates satiety. Satiety is how satisfied we feel when we eat. If we don’t feel satisfied or sated, we will continue to eat, even if we don’t need to eat.

Researchers studying the role that estrogen has on leptin levels found that ‘In humans, serum leptin concentration was higher in premenopausal women than in men, and in postmenopausal women, it was lower than in premenopausal women but still higher than in men.’

The same researchers found that in premenopausal women, serum leptin levels were significantly higher in the luteal phase or the later part of their menstrual cycles.

This research suggests that increasing estrogen levels through dietary changes could help increase leptin production, which can help turn off weight gain.

5. Improve hormone health by reducing stress and caffeine intake

The stress hormone cortisol is released when frustrated, overwhelmed, or feeling stuck. Stress eating is natural, and people who binge, especially on so-called ‘comfort foods,’ are likely to engage in a destructive behavior pattern that will lead to weight gain.

Rather than allowing your stress to dictate when you eat, seek to reduce sources of stress in your life to reduce cortisol levels in your body.

If work is overwhelming, delegate parts that someone else can handle. If your home life is stressful, sit outside in nature for 5 minutes while breathing deeply to relax and recharge.

Caffeine levels can also increase the level of cortisol that releases into your body. Turn off the weight gain by reducing your caffeine intake, and the hormone cortisol will be reduced as well.

6. Eliminate grains

Grain consumption links to thyroid hormone production that slows down. Reducing your intake of grains in your diet can help regulate your thyroid hormone levels and turn off weight gain.

The thyroid is one of the most important factors to consider when examining weight gain. Check with your medical professional to have your thyroid levels checked if you suspect that a low-functioning thyroid gland causes your weight gain.

Nine Other Lifestyle Changes To Help Regulate Hormones

What can you do for better hormone health besides changing your nutrition? Try these things.

1. Regular meal times

Eating your calories in smaller, more frequent meals helps regulate your body’s glucose levels that affect the secretion of insulin and cortisol. These hormones stabilize your appetite, so you don’t overeat. Staying in tune with your body and eating when you’re hungry gives your body a break. It relieves your digestion hormones, so they don’t get overworked, leading to weight gain. Create good eating habits, such as:

Sit down at the table to eat-Avoid walking around or eating in your car.
Chew slowly-Take appropriate bites and chew your food slowly. Enjoy the experience of eating.
Schedule your meals-Try to eat at the same time every day.
Be mindful of flavors-Enjoy the flavor and texture of your food.
Don’t add condiments until you taste the food-Taste your food before adding salt or other seasonings.

2. Exercise helps boost hormones

Exercise regulates adrenaline and cortisol, two stress hormones. It also helps stimulate the production of endorphins, peptide hormones that relieve pain and give you a feeling of general well-being.

3. Get enough sleep

Not getting enough sleep upsets your hormones levels. Lack of sleep releases stress hormones causing you to overeat, increasing your blood pressure, and making you feel exhausted.

4. Reduce your stress

When you’re stressed, your body releases adrenaline and cortisol into your bloodstream. These fight-or-flight hormones speed up your heart rate and increase your blood pressure. Living with constant stress upsets the balance of these hormones causing

Anxiety
Weight gain
Depression
Loss of focus
Decreased immunity
Auto-immune disorders

5. Stop smoking

You know the fact. Smoking isn’t healthy. Not only does it cause cancer and other diseases, but smoking upsets your body’s estrogen and testosterone levels. This imbalance can decrease fertility in women.

6. Stay hydrated

When dehydrated, toxins aren’t properly filtered out of your body. This puts stress on your body and throws off your hormonal balance. Drinking plenty of water helps your body deliver hormones via your bloodstream to your organs. This flushes out the toxins in your body and keeps your cells working properly.

7. Avoid certain foods

Skip sugary or processed foods. These foods are full of useless calories that affect the production and secretion of hormones in your gut and nervous system. Processed and fast foods have a lot of salt, fat, and sugar. Research shows that eating these foods can

Shorten your life
Age your body quicker
Put your brain at risk
Cause you to gain weight

8. Getting enough light exposure

Exposure to light affects your hormones. Getting enough light helps your body regulate the circadian rhythm function, which allows your sleep and waking cycles. Being exposed to sunlight helps you sleep better at night. You wake up with more energy since you’re well-rested. Being exposed to blue light from your electronics, especially at night, can suppress natural melatonin secretion, so you can’t sleep.

9. Makeup (surprisingly) can impact hormones

Did you know that some makeup contains harmful substances that affect your estrogen levels? These hormone disruptors, Xenoestrogens, block estrogen production, so they can’t work as they should. Chemicals called phthalates also disrupt your hormones. These are in hairsprays, nail polish, and hair straighteners.

6 Things That Happen When You Fall In Love

May 27, 2016 by Power of Positivity

People say that love is a drug, and your body might agree when you understand what happens to your body when you fall in love. There are a lot of physiological changes in your mind and body that are normal for someone who is falling in love, but it can feel like you are going through puberty again with all of the chemical and hormonal changes that your body is experiencing.

This Is What Happens When You Fall In Love

You release pheromones

Pheromones are chemicals that have a faintly detectable scent. As a person falling in love, you often feel sexually attracted before you feel true, deep love. That initial spark of attraction is likely due to your inhalation of your partner’s pheromones.

Adrenaline

When you fall in love, your body releases a spike in adrenaline. The adrenaline rush gives you that feeling of butterflies in your stomach. This is a similar feeling you get when something ‘just doesn’t feel right.’ That gut feeling is a way for your body to tell you to pay close attention because something important is happening.

Obviously, falling in love and getting a gut instinct that something is wrong are very different emotionally. One is a happy emotion and the other one is a fear response. The tingling in your belly is a way for your body to tell you that something is about to change your life, either for the good or the bad.

Hormone level changes

Researchers studied the hormone levels of people who had fallen in love within the last 6 months and compared them to the hormones of people in long-term relationships or those who were single. They found ‘Cortisol levels were significantly higher amongst those subjects who had recently fallen in love, as compared with those who had not. FSH [follicle-stimulating hormone] and testosterone levels were lower in men in love, while women of the same group presented higher testosterone levels.’

The scientists explain that the research on the biological chemistry of falling in love is limited, and that they are unsure why the reverse levels of testosterone happen for men and women falling in love.

You increase serotonin

Your body and your brain undergo chemical changes that cement the new bond of love that you are forming with your partner. These changes happen when you fall in love as an evolutionary tool to help us to reproduce and sustain the population of our human species.

A joint study between the University of Pisa, Italy and the University of California at San Diego looked at the neurotransmitter serotonin and the brains of people who were falling in love. They found that the levels of a serotonin transporter were as high as they were in the brains of patients with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.

No wonder you can’t quit your partner. 5-HT is the serotonin transmitter that you makes you obsessed about your partner. The scientists say that the increase in 5-HT ‘might mediate more enduring and ‘romantic’ forms of love, characterized by ‘obsessive’ pre-occupations about the partner and, consequently, a greater likelihood of bonding and faithfulness to the relationship.’

You increase your levels of other neurotransmitters

Dopamine and oxytocin are two other neurotransmitters that make you feel good. Oxytocin is such a strong naturally-produced pain-killer that it is given to women during childbirth. Increased levels of oxytocin is one thing that happens to your body when you fall in love. Oxytocin is often called the ‘cuddle hormone’ because it is also produced during intimate snuggle time.

Dopamine levels also increase when you fall in love. Dopamine is like a happy drug for your brain and it makes you want more of the good stuff. To get more dopamine, you want more love from your partner.

Your heart rate and breathing synchronizes to your partner’s

Does your heart beat only for your true love? That’s entirely possible because researchers at the University of California at Davis say couples who were connected to monitors measuring their heart rates and rates of respiration had heart rates that were in sync. The research also revealed that the couples breathed in and out at the same intervals.

The scientists found that women tended to adjust their heart rate and breathing to match that of their male partners, rather than the other way around. The researchers explain this as similar to the tendency of women to adapt to their partners’ preferences in a relationship and their tendency to have a higher capacity for emotional empathy as well.

The couples were a few feet away from each other and did not touch each other or speak. When couples who are in love have been separated from each other, their heart rates spike when they see each other again.
