Learning To Be Grateful

Jim Colajuta

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), mental health is a condition of well-being. Individuals recognize their own strengths, cope with daily challenges, work well, and contribute to their community.Gratitude has long been recognized as a desirable attribute that can improve one's well-being, from ancient religious texts to modern scientific evidence-based study. According to the evidence, the advantages of gratitude practice can be grouped into the following categories: increased happiness and life satisfaction; successful dealing with hardship; strengthened social relationships; improved health; and broadening civic, moral, and spiritual dimensions. On the other hand, gratitude is not an innate response to life conditions. It must be intentionally nurtured through gratitude-inducing activities.It's simple to see why focusing on what you have rather than what you don't is a good idea. Developing an appreciation for all of life's great qualities that you may have neglected allows you to focus on feelings of fulfillment, happiness, and abundance rather than longing, frustration, and bitterness. People who constantly reflect on their blessings are happier, better equipped to make decisions to improve their condition, and less prone to depression. People who start keeping a thankfulness journal regularly generally notice an improvement in their attitude. It's because gratitude lists are so popular. After all, they're a simple act that involves minimal effort yet yields tremendous effects.Most of us understand the importance of thanking those who assist us or simply acknowledging what we are grateful for in life. Gratitude has been connected to various benefits, including enhancing your immune system and sleep patterns, feeling more hopeful and experiencing more joy and pleasure, being more helpful and generous, and feeling less lonely and alienated, according to research. Gratitude is a means for people to appreciate what they already have rather than con

Northern Indian Invaders -...

Rolf Hedger

Northern India has long been a battleground for powerful invaders who established vast empires, shaping the region’s culture, politics, and economy. Among these, the Kushan Empire, the Delhi Sultanate, and the Mughal Empire stood out for their foreign origins and lasting influence on Indian civilization.  
The Kushans, originally from Central Asia, played a vital role in connecting India with the Silk Road, fostering trade and spreading Buddhism across the subcontinent.  
The Delhi Sultanate, founded by Turkic and Afghan rulers, introduced Islamic governance, transforming India's political landscape through military conquests and administrative innovations.  
Later, the Mughal Empire, with its Timurid roots, brought about a golden age of Indo-Islamic culture, marked by architectural marvels like the Taj Mahal, advancements in art, and economic prosperity.  
These empires, though foreign in origin, became deeply intertwined with India's history, leaving behind a complex yet enduring legacy of conquest, governance, and cultural exchange.

The Healing Tree - Botanicals...

Stephanie Rose Bird

“A beautiful blend of folklore, botanical science, acquired wisdom, and spiritual guidance.” —from the foreword by Luisah Teish   “If you want to learn about the reciprocal spiritual connection between humans and trees, you’re going to love this beautiful book.” —Tess Whitehurst, author of The Magic of Trees   Reclaiming traditional botanical and herbal practices has never been more important than it is today. So much of our future depends on our ability to use ancient earth knowledge. In this crucially important book, author Stephanie Rose Bird recounts the story of the sacred wood: how to live in it, learn from it, and derive spiritual enrichment from it, as well as how to preserve and protect it. The Healing Tree offers functional, accessible recipes, remedies, and rituals derived from a variety of African and African American traditions to serve mind, body, soul, and spirit.The Healing Tree celebrates the forest: its powers, spirits, magic, medicine, and mysteries. Bird shares how trees have provided her with personal healing, then allows us to share in that process for our own benefit. Bird’s book follows her own personal journey, but Africa is always her touchstone—the persistent and tenacious ancestral mother wisdom and spiritual foundation that refuses to fade away. The Healing Tree preserves this knowledge, presenting it as relevant and viable and demonstrating in intimate detail how vestiges of that knowledge took root in the Western Hemisphere, in African American culture, and more broadly in American culture in general.   Previously published as A Healing Grove, this updated edition includes a new preface by the author and a source guide for the botanicals discussed within.
