Treadmill University!

A Good Place To Learn Is On A Walk Or On The Treadmill

We all know what the “University on Wheels” is: getting educated by listening to audios, while you drive the car. Bad idea.

Much better is to jog or workout while you listen. “University on the Treadmill” is better!

Put your learning into podcast format, plug in your ear buds and get walking or jogging on the treadmill. You’ll learn more; nearly 15% more, in fact. It’s proven science.

This comes from an interesting study in Charleston, S.C., where students took part in a program that incorporated physical activity and classroom lessons for 40 minutes a day, five days a week. Before the study, the students had 40 minutes of physical education classes a week.

Physical effort to the form of learned movement skills, such as hopping through ladders while naming colors on each rung.

Others used exercise equipment with TV monitors. For example, a monitor on a treadmill would feature geography lessons while a student “ran” through the scene.

The researchers compared results from standardized tests taken by the students before and after the program, and found that the percentage of students who reached their goal on the state tests increased from 55% to 68.5%.

That’s a pretty significant statistical increase in retention. Learn from it!

It would be a good idea to put my Thought Structures and mind enhancement materials from New Thought Horizons into your iPod or other MP3 player and go work out!

You’ll not only get fit in body, you’ll get superbly capable in mind!

Change Your Playlist, Change Your Life

Playlist is a neologism (new word) from the era of mp3 electronic music players. It refers to a sequence of tracks selected from amongst available music, that are grouped together as a listener choice. This is not the same as an album, where the associated tracks are chosen by the music publisher or the artist concerned.

Thus a personal playlist can include Beatles, along with Beethoven, if desired. There are no restrictions. Imagination and taste is the only guide.

Now a new book has pointed out that by choosing your playlist tracks carefully, your music can have an enormous benefit on your moods, efficiency and energy.

The book is called Your Playlist Can Change Your Life by Galina Mindlin, MD, assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Columbia University, and founder of Brain Music Therapy; Don DuRousseau, founder of Human Bionics; and Joseph Cardillo, a top-selling author in holistic psychology and mind-body medicine.

The authors argue that music’s benefits hold for everyone and that if we queue up our tunes with care they’ll lift our mood, reduce anxiety, raise motivation, help us work out better and even fight off depression and insomnia.

Like sex, drugs or really good food, music causes the brain to release dopamine, a brain feel-good chemical. Choose your tracks carefully and you really can control your mood. Continue reading →

Live In Exhilaration

Live life with a furious joy and fearless, bloody-minded determination!

Nothing can hurt you but that you let yourself believe it can. It is possible to live life in this exalted state of energy and thrill, without needing a sense of frenzy or excess, profligacy or lack of control.

There are no “disasters”. There are spills a-plenty. We cannot live the perfect life but we can live with near-perfect willingness to experience it all!

A downhill skier experiences acceleration and exhilaration. I myself don’t ski. But in scree running on mountains, diving and thrusting, I have tasted that same sense of exhilaration, beyond any sensation that ordinary living can provide.

Truly, inspiration + acceleration = exhilaration.

Remember the sweet epithet that goes round and round…

Sing as if no-one was listening,

Dance as if no-one was watching,

Love as if it could never hurt.

That’s the true meaning of life!

Dr. Keith talking about past lives

I was interviewed this morning for a radio show in Marbella (Spain) by journalist and photographer, Rosalind Scott-Gibb.

I was talking about past lives and reality, as part of the Science of Being and Consciousness teleclass series I’m hosting.

It occurred to me during the broadcast, I could share it with you all. It’s a bit rough because we used skype. Not that it isn’t very clear but there was a big contrast between the two voice levels. I’ve evened them out as much as possible. I think you’ll enjoy this OK. It’s about 45 minutes.

Here’s the player. Click the arrowhead and it will open further.

You can also download the MP3 for podcasting (r-click and save).

Are you a plus 1 or a minus 3?

Professor Gary Schwartz, leading researcher into the sphere of consciousness and survival after death, started out as a skeptic.

He defined a scale from minus 3, total DISBELIEF in anything spiritual, to plus 3, unshakeable BELIEF in all matters spiritual and beyond the physical realm.

Where do you fit? If you are a minus 3, are you being open minded enough? Or plus 3, are you just simple-minded and gullible?

We all fit somewhere on this scale. Gary Schwartz, the first speaker in my guest teleseminar series discussing the Science of Being and Consciousness, reveals in his book THE SACRED PROMISE that he considered it his professional duty to start out as a minus 3 and insist on being moved along by proof.

Most people I suppose come in between minus 1 and plus 1. But where is the evidence to justify being a plus 3? Continue reading →

Proclamation

Ladies and gentlemen, discarnate as well as incarnate beings who may be listening and watching, Ascended Masters, you angels and you mystics extreme! Hear me!

In this teleclass series we are gathered here today to investigate an amazing, almost unbelievable, phenomenon – the fact that we are here!

The very fact that we have consciousness, we are here and—even more amazingly—we KNOW we are here, is the greatest of all miracles of existence.

We are here but we do not know WHAT IT MEANS TO BE. We do not understand the phenomenon of TO BE. Yet we all have it.

This is like a knife which cannot cut itself. Being cannot, at this time, quite see itself. It can be. We can see ourselves being ourselves. But it remains the most amazing, appalling, mystery in all human knowledge.

We can build cars, televisions, computers, smart phones, rocket ships… but we cannot make ourselves. Continue reading →
