Loafing

I am a huge fan of loafing and have no problem with loafing and not feeling guilty about it. I try to loaf at least 10min everyday.
My favorite place to loaf is at the hot springs. When I'm not soaking in the water, I lay a towel or a yoga matt on the ground and just do nothing. I find it deeply healing. My monkey mind tends to slow down and I get clarity on the thoughts that do pop in my head. I gain even more awareness of my body, what is tense and what I need to relax. Which allows me to sink deeper into my puddle of nothingness and peace.
My second favorite loafing spot is deep in the forest. I try to find a nice spot near a stream, river or in a tree. Lately, I hike to an amazing oak tree deep in the redwoods. It's the perfect climbing tree and at the very top of this tree is almost like a hand palm, perfect for laying in. I sometimes spend an hour up in the tree just staring at the leaves, listening to nature and getting clarity within myself. This act of doing nothing but being in the forest is the most effective way of healing my energetic self.

Even just simply loafing on the couch or in my backyard for 10min at a time...I always feel like a little more weight is taken off my shoulders. I find the act of doing nothing is extremely beneficial for the mind body and spirit. I also feel I tend to be more efficient and productive after my loafing.

    I really enjoyed your introduction to this topic " I am a huge fan." It is great to read about how you are able to take time for yourself and feel productive after even 10 minutes of resting.

Week 2- Quantum Mechanics

1. Blog Assignments for Week 2:  Your reflections on Uncertainty:       This principle tells us that there is a limit to what we humans can know and understand about quantum particles. There are things that are too small that cannot be measured. Which is where the Uncertainty principle comes in. From what I understand, it is to difficult to get exact measurements of energy and time. We also cannot precisely measure the position and the momentum of a particle  SImply the act of observing or witnessing something occur directly affects what occurred. An example of this is Schrodinger's cat. This cat is chambered up with radioactive substances. When the observer opens the chamber after an hour the cat being alive or dead could be directly influenced by the observer. maybe the cat died only when the observer opened the chamber. This principle says any external influence to something can possibly influence what is happening.  I feel like this pr...

Midterm Paper- Time: East vs West

Each culture in the world views time differently. In western culture, time is perceived to be more linear. In America time is valuable on a financial level. Anyone in the western business world typically believes that time is money. Also in the western business world, they believe that making quick decisions is important. If a decision isn’t made right away then time is being wasted and so is their money. Westerns are not as careful with considering how it may affect the future and what mistakes have been made in the past. For the westerns its efficiency they value. Time is closely related to life, money, and efficiency. Westerns don’t view the lessons of the past like the Chinese do, they determine how the past lessons were by how the present situation is. The west very much values the present. While in the Eastern world time is viewed not linear but cyclic. Time is precious and the world has an abundance of it, with this abundance allows them to wait for the perfect time. Every d...

Week 9- Sacred Geometry and Fibonacci

Ø   Are there connections you can make between Sacred Geometry and Physics? There are many links between Sacred Geometry and Physics.  Such as quantum entanglement. In Sacred Geometry measurement is very important and so is the calculation. One degree of difference in design will change and influence the rest of the of geometry. Just like a ripple/butterfly effect which occurs. It sharts with something small, but over great distances, it can have a huge influence. Such as seeds, pine cones, protons, pineapples, cauliflower...etc. It's easy to find common reoccurring patterns all around us in nature. In Chinese medicine, this is often seen and considered when we work with feng shui. Physicists often create mathematical patterns which represent the universe and many of these drawings come out as sacred geometry. One example is the flower of life. Which is a shadow of a Metatron cube. Which represents the entire universe and how everything is interconnected.  Sacr...
