The Movie - Mother Teresa of Calcutta

I have watched the movie "Mother Teresa of Calcutta". A very touching film that showed Mother Teresa who chose to live among the poorest of the poor, taking care of the poor, sick, orphaned and dying. She had taught us the true meaning of compassion and charity which transcend all boundaries.

Mother Teresa quotes :

"It is not how much we do, but how much love we put in the doing. It is not how much we give, but how much love we put in the giving. - Mother Teresa"

Sending Love and Gratitude to Water

Dr Emoto's experiments with water show that the formation of beautiful water crystals is influenced by words, music and human intentions etc. Here are some interesting links :

In 3rd August 2008, Dr Emoto conducted a ceremony of sending Love and Gratitude to the waters in Lake Baikal, Siberia, Russia. A huge and beautiful double rainbow was sighted after the ceremony :

Heart Matters

Recently I came across articles about the 'Heart'.

* In 1980s, Harvard psychologist Dr David McClelland conducted an experiment whereby he showed a group of students a video about Mother Teresa (an embodiment of care and compassion). He compared the students' immune system before and after watching the video by measuring their IgA, or secretory immunoglobulin A levels (IgA is an important measurement of immune system). He discovered that the students' IgA levels increased after watching the video. Other researchers went on to conduct similar experiments using self-induced care and anger. They discovered that generating the feeling of care and compassion greatly increased the test subjects' IgA levels while experiencing the feeling of anger greatly reduced the IgA levels (IgA levels still not back to normal even after six hours!)

Reference link : http://www.heartmath.com/solutions-immune-system-2/ ( Take note of the words which say : Key findings: Heart-focused, sincere, positive feeling states boost the immune system, while negative emotions... )

* Other facts discovered and researched at HeartMath Institute show that the Heart generates the strongest electromagnetic field in the body, influencing the brain and the rest of the body. It sends more signal to the brain then the brain sends to it. Moreover, the Heart is also the strongest biological oscillator in the human body. The other physical organs are also oscillators. (Using the example of a pendulum clock which is also an oscillator with its rhythmic tick-tocks. If you have a room with many pendulum clocks, the biggest oscillator is going to synchronize the other tick-tocks in the room to its own tick-tock rhythm). As a result, the Heart is constantly affecting the rest of the body system with is rhythms. Scientists realized that if you influence the Heart, the while body is automatically influenced. Positive Emotions such as appreciation, compassion, love and other good qualities of the Heart translates to better brain function and immunity.
