meditation near me

Mettā (Pali) or maitrī (Sanskrit) means benevolence, loving-kindness, friendliness, amity, goodwill, and active interest in others. It is the first of the four sublime states (Brahmaviharas) and one of the ten pāramīs of the Theravāda school of Buddhism. The cultivation of benevolence (mettā bhāvanā) is a popular form of Buddhist meditation. It is a part of the four immeasurables in Brahmavihara (divine abidings) meditation. Metta as ‘compassion meditation’ is often practiced in Asia by broadcast chanting, wherein monks chant for the laity. The compassion and universal loving-kindness concept of Metta are discussed in the Metta Sutta of Buddhism and is also found in the ancient and medieval texts of Hinduism and Jainism as Metta or Maitri. Small sample studies on the potential of loving-kindness meditation approach on patients suggest potential benefits. However, peer reviews question the quality and sample size of these studies, then suggest caution. see more at Wikipedia Check More at https://engageshops.com/novelty_inc

Stress, either physiological or biological, is an organism’s response to a stressor such as an environmental condition. Stress is the body’s method of reacting to a condition such as a threat, challenge or physical and psychological barrier. Stimuli that alter an organism’s environment are responded to by multiple systems in the body. In humans and most mammals, the autonomic nervous system and the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis are the two major systems that respond to stress. The sympathoadrenal medullary (SAM) axis may activate the fight-or-flight response through the sympathetic nervous system, which dedicates energy to more relevant bodily systems to the acute adaptation to stress, while the parasympathetic nervous system returns the body to homeostasis. The second major physiological stress, the HPA axis regulates the release of cortisol, which influences many bodily functions such as metabolic, psychological and immunological functions. The SAM and HPA axes are regulated by several brain regions, including the limbic system, prefrontal cortex, amygdala, hypothalamus, and stria terminals. Through these mechanisms, stress can alter memory functions, reward, immune function, metabolism and susceptibility to diseases. Definitions of stress differ. One system suggests there are five types of stress labeled “acute time-limited stressors”, “brief naturalistic stressors”, “stressful event sequences”, “chronic stressors”, and “distant stressors”. An acute time-limited stressor involves a short-term challenge, while a brief natural stressor involves an event that is normal but nevertheless challenging. A stressful event sequence is a stressor that occurs and then continues to yield stress into the immediate future. A chronic stressor involves exposure to a long-term stressor, and a distant stressor is a stressor that is not immediate. see more at Wikipedia Check More at https://engageshops.com/novelty_inc

Louis Farrakhan’s ‘Wheel’ has nothing to do with Pat Sajak … Or does it?

http://twitter.com/#!/LouisFarrakhan/status/423605926373773312

If you’re like the vast majority of human beings on this planet, you haven’t closely followed the preaching of minister Louis Farrakhan, former calypso music artist, extremist Islamist, black supremacist, and all around anti-Semite. Well, it’s time you caught up on all the craziness … and Twitchy is here to help!

In short, it’s all about The Wheel. No, we’re not talking about the Wheel of Fortune. That’s Pat Sajak — different minister. It’s some kind of mothership from outer space that follows Farrakhan around. At some point, when he’s good and ready, he will climb on board to fly away from planet Earth and, for good measure, maybe kill off all of our planet’s blue-eyed devils.

Here’s some Twitter background about The Wheel:

The wheels follow #Farrakhan wherever he goes. Take it or let it alone! He knows! #TheTime noi.org/thetime— Ilia Rashad Muhammad (@iliarashad) December 29, 2013

That’s because UFOs weigh heavily in the gospel of Louie.

And they’re probably gonna destroy America. Because blue-eyed devils.

In one of his latest videos, Farrakhan says The Wheel, the great mother plane, sits 40 miles above Earth, just above America, ready to deal vengeance upon our racist-y ways.

The honorable Elijah Muhammad, who is widely believed to have died in 1975, is actually still alive! That’s right. He has been broadcasting to Farrakhan from one of the UFO wheels. Never trust Wikipedia!

There’s also a board game! Like Monopoly, but you don’t get rich at the end. You become a god. Or something.

But not if you’re a Jew, because you won’t let Kanye West listen to Farrakhan:

Jews! Always causing trouble.

We should also mention that there’s a new economic system just for members of the Nation of Islam.

http://twitter.com/#!/LouisFarrakhan/status/416285388773134336

Maybe it’s time for the Nation of Islam to create its own currency, sort of like Bitcoin except racist. Farrakhoin?

So there you have it. Ready to sign up to the Nation of Islam now? Because if you aren’t, you’re probably a racist Zionist who doesn’t even have the good sense to fear The Wheel.

Minister Farrakhan has been posting weekly addresses for about a year, each one an hour long. The first video has more than 124,000 views. He seemed well on his way to YouTube stardom. Alas, a year later, each video is garnering only about 20,000 views each. He’s probably hoping the mothership comes soon before his viewership dwindles down to nothing.

Wait, wait. Oh no. We think he converted Pat Sajak!

Enjoy the mothership, brother.
