What do you do that affects others?

When quantum particles were studied, it was discovered that we could know where they were OR how fast they were going, but not both at the same time. This is known as the Uncertainty Principle. It means that we can’t know everything in the universe. So much for the know-it-alls!

Einstein discovered that light is a particle. However, when we shine light through a prism, the light waves are separated into rainbow colors. Each color is a frequency of the light wave. So light and other quantum particles are both a particle and a wave!

Einstein could not accept this particle/wave duality of quantum particles so he devised a thought experiment to disprove it. This led to the discovery of “entanglement” which says you can’t talk about some particles without reference to another particle. When you touch one particle it immediately affects the other entangled particle. So what you do affects more than you know! What do you do that affects others?

The New Paradigm

In the old paradigm, the universe acts like a big clock. If we want to understand the clock we have to take it apart and look at the pieces. In the new paradigm we look at the whole clock and how it works and only then can we understand the pieces. So practice seeing the whole to understand the pieces!

We are All Connected

You may think quantum physics has nothing to do with your daily life—but it does. Many of us have heard of the “new paradigm”, but what does this really mean? The old paradigm views the universe as a machine that can be taken apart. Ironically, the continued dissection of matter into parts led to the discovery of quantum particles. These particles, which make up everything in the universe, do not act like a machine and cannot be taken apart. This forms the basis of the new paradigm; that the universe and everything in it is a connected whole. Are you living the new paradigm? Consider for a moment: how are you connected to the rainforest in Brazil?

Change your behavior, Change your brain: Part 3

Our brains and other organs are pattern recognizers! What we experience through our five senses is compared to existing memories and patterns wired into our brain. Familiar experiences are recognized and unfamiliar ones are discarded. We can expand our ability to take in the world by continuously exposing ourselves to new experiences. Change your filter by expanding your experiences!

Most of us know the saying about seeing the world through rose-colored glasses. Did you know that our brains are giant filters? These filters are unique to us and are defined by the wiring paths we create through our thoughts and feelings as well as by our life experiences. This means that each of us see the world through our own “particular shade” of rose colored glasses! Make your shade one that makes you happy!

TIP: Did you know that your brain wiring is elastic and can change all your life? Tasks that you practice create new wiring paths in your brain. Repetitive feelings also create new wiring paths. So create some healthy wiring paths by practicing feeling good!

What Does My HRV Tell Me (in Simple Terms)?

9 Replies

HRV is a “view” into what your nervous system is doing. There are two branches of the nervous system that work together to stay balanced. When you are stressed, one branch of your nervous system, the “fight or flight” branch, becomes very active. When this happens, HRV goes down and represents imbalance between the two branches. When the stressful situation passes, HRV goes up as the nervous system returns to normal.

High HRV is a sign of calm and low HRV is a sign of stress. The good news is that there are many simple solutions, such as deep breathing, that helps restore calm and increase HRV.
