<p><strong>Can Our <a href="http://www.karmasecrets.com" title="Karma Secrets Academy  helping your inner growth" target="_blank">Karma Work</a>, One Day, Prove To Help Lengthen Telomeres?</strong></p>
<p>Elizabeth Blackburn: Elizabeth H. Blackburn, who shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in medicine, talks about her work on telomeres, and when she knew she wanted to be a scientist.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/09/science/elizabeth-blackburn-molecular-biologist-charts-her-own-course.html?smid=pl-share" title="Can Karma Secrets Meditation, One Day Be Proven to Help Lengthen Telomeres?" target="_blank">Here is The Full New York Times Article </a></p>
<p>SAN FRANCISCO — Scientists are trained to be skeptics, and Elizabeth H. Blackburn considers herself one of the biggest. Show her the data, and be ready to defend it.</p>
<p>Dr. Blackburn, 64, a professor of biology and physiology at the University of California, San Francisco, says she has been convinced by a decade of data from her own team and others, linking short telomeres to heart disease, diabetes, cancer and other diseases, and to chronic stress and post-traumatic stress disorder. With studies that explore the connections among emotional stress, health and telomeres, she has delved into questions that she would have shied away from earlier in her career, as a woman trying to establish herself in science.</p>
<p>Telomeres are often compared to the plastic tips that keep the ends of shoelaces from fraying. Scientists had long suspected that telomeres protected the ends of chromosomes, but no one knew how. Each time a cell divides, its telomeres shorten, and if they get too short, the cell cannot divide any more. But somehow, in healthy cells, the telomeres were being rebuilt.</p>
<p>A little more than 10 years ago she began to collaborate with Elissa Epel, a psychologist at the university who studies chronic stress. One of their first projects involved mothers who were the main caregivers for children with chronic diseases.</p>
<p>“It really resonated with me as a mother,” Dr. Blackburn said. “I just sort of felt for these women so much. A very nonscientific reason, if you will, but isn’t that an interesting question?”</p>
<p>Compared with the mothers of healthy children, those with sick ones had shorter telomeres and less telomerase, and the longer they had been caring for the children, the shorter their telomeres were. The findings were similar in people taking care of spouses with dementia. Other studies have suggested that traumatic events early in life may have effects on telomeres and health that persist for decades.</p>
<p>These studies, Dr. Blackburn said, have taken her far from her early days as a lab rat, to issues and segments of society that she considers neglected.</p>
<p>She has also become curious about the physical and mental effects of meditation, learning one of the techniques herself. And she has wondered whether it does anything to telomeres.</p>

<p>In today&#8217;s world, where we may still be blinded by fame or fortune, where ancient wisdom sounding from the mouth of an accepted gurus, may contain you&#8230;</p>
<p>It is all well and good,  but they are the ideas of the individual, who may have never been heard of before, of a teacher, of a student, of a child, of the beggar on the street corner, which you  need to embrace, attend, seek importance in, to help make not a splash but a shift, and contribute to your transformation, making that big difference in your life you are after.</p>
<p>We are not at the time of the big ideas that could change our life but of the hidden every day truths which in their simplicity will transform our mind.</p>
<p>These ideas must be reciprocal, you have as much need to hear others as to be sharing yours.</p>
<p><strong>But why is that so? </strong></p>
<p>Why would the opinion, idea of a maybe a less known, less experienced, maybe even a less influential individual could be the one reason for your shift and the unique cause of your transformation?</p>
<p>Well, it may be not about them nor what they will say at all, sure it will have the value but it would be your exceptance of their ideas, inspire of the perseption of their position which will magically transform every thing else you have ever heard, learned, thought and experienced&#8230;</p>
<p>So finding that elegant trigger in the most of unexpected places, from the most of less  influential people, helps you realizing your individual value, not only in what you may know or say, but in your existence in their physical reality, now you  becoming that same trigger for others&#8230;</p>

<p>Super Nanny is a TV show that helps desperate parents to deal with badly behaved children. They had to promote its new season to parents. So they created a fictitious line of toys that featured absurd ways to discipline children and put them in a place where we were sure to find our target – toy stores. By taking a closer look at the boxes, they’d find the message “There are better ways to discipline your child. Watch Super Nanny.”</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you hear of the &#8220;God Particle&#8221;?</p>
<p><strong>What is the one important change you feel this discovery will make?</strong></p>
<p>As you may know, after over 40 years July 4th,<br />
there was and announcement made on the discovery of &#8220;The God Particle&#8221;</p>
<p>Here is a good 2 minute overview from CNN</p>
<p><iframe width="584" height="329" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rbu6IodYAa0?fs=1&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>I was recently asked of my opinion regarding this important discovery,<br />
which is regarded by many &#8220;the greatest discovery of this century&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>I strongly feel that now, when we are uniting the dark matter with the physical reality<br />
we will have some of the greatest minds in physics, math and even medical research,<br />
allow themselves to openly, spend time and effort on the &#8220;non physical&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<p>The &#8220;God Particle&#8221; may become a gateway to many new discoveries&#8230;</p>
<p>I also feel, that more than the discovery itself,<br />
we could be opening the doors to a new momentum in science and medical research!</p>
<p>In September 2008, when this experiment became very public<br />
we had a course, supporting a <a href="http://www.varietyontario.ca/" title="Variety Village" target="_blank">children&#8217;s charity</a> and dedicated to that energy&#8230;</p>
<p><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/HUutcD4grbI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>It may also be interesting for you to revisit the videos from 2008 introducing that subject</p>
<p>You can watch the short 4 minute intro here in <a href="http://www.karmasecrets.com/gods-particle-presentation-september-10th-2008-the-big-bang-experiment/" title="The God Particle" target="_blank">Karma Secrets Academy</a></p>
<p>and if you want to understand the connection between this discovery and Karma, we just made the two part one hour video introduction (from 2008) available at <a href="http://www.karmasecrets.com/the-god-particle-with-erik-valdman-the-big-bang-experiment/" title="The Higgs Bosson" target="_blank">Karma Secrets Academy</a></p>
<p><strong>So, what do YOU feel, will the &#8220;God Particle&#8221; discovery will make?<br />
</strong><br />
would love to hear your opinion</p>

When 2 euros are donated directly on the billboard, the various MISEREOR aid projects visually come to life. A built-in camera takes a photo of the donor, which he can post on Facebook and then share information about the promotion. This enabled MISEREOR to start up a dialogue with people online too.</p>

<p>“Everyone in school either has a prescription or has a friend who does,” the boy said.</p>
<p>At high schools across the United States, pressure over grades and competition for college admissions are encouraging students to abuse prescription stimulants, according to interviews with students, parents and doctors. Pills that have been a staple in some college and graduate school circles are going from rare to routine in many academically competitive high schools, where teenagers say they get them from friends, buy them from student dealers or fake symptoms to their parents and doctors to get prescriptions.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently I was inspired by the speech of Mark  Zuckerberg about the social growth of sharing information.</p>
<p><script src="http://player.ooyala.com/player.js?height=344&#038;video_pcode=11amo6qGw2oucN78pR-BYbDpCESk&#038;width=620&#038;embedCode=dxMW5sMjqGPTKcas9oNcSoJok8NiKL95&#038;deepLinkEmbedCode=dxMW5sMjqGPTKcas9oNcSoJok8NiKL95"></script></p>
<p>I see this kind of social sharing, or being &#8216;more social&#8217; and doubling every year, as the first signs of the growing recognition of &#8216;personal uniqueness&#8217; &#8216;self value&#8217;. But not in a selfish way, as to be able to express yourself you need to be equally excepting the value of others. Now both the ability to express yourself and the willingness to except others, world wide, is nothing short of &#8216;spiritual awakening&#8217;.</p>
<p>Are you being social? or are you resisting it in the name of privacy, who cares what you did this morning&#8230;I know that I was?</p>
<p><strong>Inner growth and social growth in Facebook, Twitter, Blogging, Picture and Video Sharing</strong></p>
<p>Mark was giving an example: if we could fold over a plain paper fifty times, how high would it reach? Well, it can take us to the moon and back one hundred and fifty times!</p>
<p>Our physical growth, rejuvenation of cells works on this doubling formula, we call it division of cells.</p>
<p>Here we can recognized that the more natural something may be the more it would likely to resemble a &#8216;compound growth&#8217; than a &#8216;linear growth&#8217;.</p>
<p>But all is initiated by energy. Einstein proved that Energy can not be created nor destroyed and it has a direct relation to physical mass, so this quantum change must be related to compounding.</p>
<p>Then the question of momentum came to mind&#8230;it must have the power of the same compound growth&#8230;inner growth.</p>
<p>Just like the cells are doubling in the power of the second chakra every chakra must contribute to this exponential growth. What we control is when it may happen in us.</p>
<p>But Compounding seems to be extremely difficult for the human mind to grasp.</p>
<p>There must be very little logic in compound exponential growth&#8230;maybe even some magic.</p>
<p>So what are you doing to support your social sharing abilities from within?</p>
<p>I meditate.</p>
