Here again is momo from the momo zone, this time with a 20-minute master course on manifestation. Here, he discusses the real meaning of manifestation and what it ultimately can bring you and through you, the world at large. He goes big, he goes wide, he goes deep.

everybody’s free (to wear sunscreen)

May 4, 2007

This is possibly the best address to a graduating class in history, and maybe one of the best speeches, period. It originally appeared as a Mary Schmich column in the Chicago Tribune called Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young. This dazzling video is what adding a little Baz Luhrman to that text […]

This is inevitable, but exhausting and unproductive as well as rather dull. Suzanne C. Segerstrom PhD of the University of Kentucky, Lexington, suggests that every […]

affirmations for health

April 24, 2007

Let’s be honest: affirmations are foofy, West Coast mantras that make people nervous. But they just might work. Give them a go and see if they work for you, foofy or not. After all, your bathroom mirror won’t tell on you. Recite the affirmation that you prefer to yourself in the mirror each morning, before you’ve […]
