Does evolution explain who we are?
I took an advanced placement course in developmental psychology, during my senior year of high school. Although, at the time, I was a long way from having children of my own, I was fascinated with how the human psyche is shaped over time. We studied various views on personality and behavior, including the long-standing debate […]

It is all a beautiful expression of life illuminated by Grace. There is a divine quality in everything and everyone beyond the material world. Beyond the mind and judgment. Beyond duality and interpretation. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Day to day life may appear ordinary, but as we fully open ourselves to the sacredness beneath the surface, we stand in awe of its power.

The sound of rain while drinking a warm cup of tea or coffee, the calming feeling of a deep breath of air, the warm sunshine on your face as you step outside, the sound of birds singing in the distance are all opportunities to tune in. When we mindfully bring our attention into the moment, even the everyday activities of life become infused with magic. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But how do we step out of the constant mental chatter to recognize these moments? Gentle reminders, practices, rituals, and introspection do wonders to nurture this perspective. It can even become a new habit.

Others may find that state while surfing or cooking or spending time in nature. You can enjoy experimenting for yourself! If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. Love, Ansley
Acne (Pimples) Acne are an disease of the skin caused by changes in the pilosebaceous units (skin structures consisting of a hair follicle and its associated). Acne lesions are commonly referred to as, spots, or zits. Have you spent a fortune on various products and medications which affirm to give you a perfect skin - only to realize that your condition becomes worse and worse? From age 10 to 40 and beyond, Acne is a condition that apprehends almost everyone at some time in their lives. Acne also known as Pimples is the expression for plugged pores that crop up on the face, neck, chest, back, shoulders and even the upper arms. Acne can lead to perpetual scarring causing significant impact on a person's outlook on life which could lead to lack of self-confidence, anxiety and depression. Acne Vulgaris surfaces in various shapes, size and different colors: Whiteheads: These appear when a pore is entirely blocked, trapping oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells causing a white appearance on the surface. Blackheads: These materialize when a pore is only partially blocked, allowing the trapped oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells to slowly drain to the surface. The black color is not caused by dirt, but it a reaction of the skin’s own pigment, melanin reacting with the oxygen in the air. Papules: These are small, inflamed, red, tender bumps with no head and are tender to touch. Pustules: This is similar to a whitehead, but is red-looking with white or yellow pus in the center. Nodules: This is a severe kind of Acne, in which the lesions are much larger, more painful, lodged deep within the skin and sometimes lasts for months, leaving scars. Cysts: This is also a severe kind of Acne and appears similar to a nodule, but larger than a pustule; the lesions are deep, pus filled, very painful and leave scars. Acne Rosacea: This occurs in women over 30 years of age. It appears as a bumpy, red rash on the cheeks, nose, forehead and chin. Acne Conglobata: This is the most severe form of Acne which occurs in numerous large lesions more common in males between the age of 18 and 30 years. It can cause severe damage to the skin and is seen on the face, chest, back, buttocks, upper arms and thighs. Acne Fulminans: This is an ulcerating form of Acne affecting young men. It can cause awful scarring, with fever and joint aches. Gram-Negative Folliculitis: This kind of Acne is in the form of pustules and cysts caused by a bacterial infection. It can possibly occur as a complication resulting from long term antibiotic treatment of Acne Vulgaris. Pyoderma Faciale: This is an extremely severe type of facial Acne with large nodules, pustules and sores leaving scars affecting only females between the ages of 20 and 40 years. Cause of Acne: · Cause may be unidentified. · An increase of male sex hormone termed androgen in both boys and girls during puberty. · Hormonal changes related to birth control pills, before a menstrual period, during pregnancy. · Vitamin deficiency. · Oily cosmetics. · Pressure from sports helmet, backpacks, tight collars, etc. · Environmental irritants. · Hard scrubbing of the skin. · Chronic constipation. · Acne can run in families. · Stress does not cause acne but can make it worse. Symptoms- 1.The most common form of acne is known as "acne vulgaris", meaning "common acne." Many teenagers get this type of acne. Excessive secretion of oils from the sebaceous glands accompanies the plugging of the pores with naturally occurring dead skin cells( corneocytes) blocking hair follicles 2.The accumulation of these corneocytes in the duct appears to be due to a failure of the normal keratinization process in the skin which usually leads to shedding of skin cells lining the pores. Oil secretions are said to build Propionibacterium acnes and the lipophilic yeast Malassezia 3.In response to the bacterial and yeast populations, the skin inflames , producing the visible lesion. 4.The face chest,back shoulders and upper arms are especially affected. 5.The typical acne lesions are: comedones pustules nodules and inflammatory cysts known as cystic acne, one of the more severe forms.These are more inflamed and pus-filled or reddish bumps, that can easily lead to scarring or serious infections. 6. Non-inflamed 'sebaceous cysts more properly called epidermoid cysts, occur either in association with acne or alone but are not a constant feature. Complications- 1.Acne scars Severe acne often leaves small scars where the skin gets a "volcanic" shape. Acne scars are difficult and expensive to treatAcne scars are unsightly, and it is for this reason they can be psychologically and emotionally distressing. Aside from scarring, its main effects are psychological, such as reduced self-esteem. Acne usually appears during adolescence, when people already tend to be most socially insecure. Early and aggressive treatment is therefore advocated to lessen the overall impact to individuals. 2. Pigmentation Pigmented scars is a slightly misleading term, suggesting a change in the skin's pigmentation, and that they are true scars. Neither is true. Pigmented scars are usually the result of nodular or cystic acne (the painful 'bumps' lying under the skin). They often leave behind an inflamed red mark. Often, the pigmentation scars can be avoided simply by avoiding aggravation of the nodule or cyst. When sufferers try to 'pop' cysts or nodules, pigmentation scarring becomes significantly worse, and may even bruise the affected area. Homeopathic approach to Acne: Homeopathy considers Acne as an expression of the internal hormonal process, which justifies treatment at the inner level rather than treating it at the skin surface by local applications. Homeopathy offers splendid treatment in cases of Acne, which is effective, harmless and without any side-effects. A constitutional Homeopathic treatment will stimulate the body’s own natural healing ability which will help remove toxins, rebalance skin PH, will improve circulation of nutrients to the skin and finally soothe and moisturize the skin for a spotless glow. In addition to healing existing lesions, it will forbid new lesions from forming, prevent scarring and also minimize the psychological stress caused by Acne Remedies- 1.Sulphur [Sulph] Is perhaps the remedy most often indicated in this affection, especially if chronic. The skin is rough and hard and the acne is associated with comedones and constipation; great aggravation from water is the characteristic leading to Sulphur in skin affections. The acne punctata is the variety corresponding most nearly to Sulphur. Simple forms yield to Belladonna or Pulsatilla. Acne rosacea yields to Arsenicum iodatum or Sulphur iodide. 2. Sanguinaria [Sang] Is another useful remedy in acne, especially in women with scanty menses and irregular circulation of blood. Other remedies for acne dependent on sexual disturbances of women are Calcarea carbonica. 3. Kali bromatum [Kali.br] produces an acne on the face, neck and shoulders. We frequently find acne in Epileptics who have been maltreated by bromides. This remedy is especially adapted to the acne simplex and the acne indurata, especially in hyperaesthetic, nervous females. Since Kali bromatum has been found a useful remedy in sexual excesses it will be especially a remedy in acne due to that cause. 4. Thuja is one of our best remedies for acne facialis. 5. Calcarea picrata is also a useful remedy for acne; clinically it has been found one of the good remedies. 6. Calcarea sulphurica is indicated where the pimples suppurate. 7. Antimonium crudum [Ant.c] Small red pimples on face, acne in drunkards with gastric derangements, thirst and white-coated tongue. 8. Antimonium tartaricum. Obstinate cases, with tendency to pustulation, are curable with this remedy. 9. Berberis aquifolium is useful where the skin is rough and the acne persistent. 10. Natrum muriaticum acts especially on the sebaceous glands, and is a very helpful remedy in acne. In this affection attention must be directed especially to the patient's type, temperament and tendencies and the general symptoms are far mores important than the local ones.

Bring calm, focus and social emotional learning support into your in-person or distance learning classroom using these effective 48 Mindfulness Brain Breaks. Now in both printable and Google Slides™ digital formats with pre-recorded narration and music. TRY A FREE SAMPLE HERE! What is Mindfulness? Mindfulness is the practice of paying attention to the here and now without judgement. It can be practiced where ever we find ourselves, in whatever we are doing. The first step into the present moment is breathing with awareness. By simply zooming our focus on breathing-in and breathing-out, we can quiet our minds, reduce felt sensations of stress, and cultivate compassion for self and others. How Mindfulness Helps: As educators (and parents), we often expect, tell, even demand that young people focus and pay attention. Yet many times we fail to model, guide, and teach them how to do this. By integrating more mindful moments into our own lives, and bringing simple, but very powerful, practices into our schools (and homes), we can help young people nurture the seeds of awareness, reflection, executive functioning, and emotional regulation. What the Research Says: Research shows that practicing mindfulness is an effective coping strategy for anxiety, anger, depression, trauma and other social emotional challenges. It builds neurological pathways that promote presence, attention, and self-regulation. And in the context of school, mindfulness can help students to refocus on the task in front of them and bring calmness during transition times. Mindfulness improves both social-emotional and academic learning. Plus, the very nature of mindfulness exercises are experiential, which we know is one of the most impactful ways to cultivate not only learning but also the JOY of learning. ❤️ Creating a Trauma Sensitive Classroom ❤️ More and more children and adolescents are coming to school in a heightened state of protectiveness and on-guardedness, as an adaptive strategy to survive the challenging experiences in their lives. These brain break activities are especially useful for cultivating a mindful, trauma-informed classroom. Practicing mindfulness not only creates a more peaceful, quiet environment in the classroom, mindfulness helps to create peace within, helping young people to feel more grounded, safe, and ready to learn and interact with others in healthy ways.

Experiment when you and/or your students are feeling relaxed and calm too. The more we practice when we are in a relaxed state, the easier it will be to remember to use these mindfulness tools when we really need them! ☀️ Before inviting young people to try out different mindfulness activities, invite yourself to practice too. As it goes, we can only teach and guide what we know. Experiment with different mindful activities, noticing the ones that resonate and the ones that don't. Then share these different exercises with the young people you support. And then just notice what happens.

Just over a month ago, a random conversation with another startup founder over lunch turned into a full-blown research project. “You and I are both first-born children,” I mused to my friend, “I wonder if that had any influence on why we chose to start businesses.” I theorized that first borns were often given more responsibility growing up, and wondered if this role served as training wheels for building startups. I also wondered if our upbringing had an influence on things like when we start, what we start, or how much money we raise — and ultimately, how successful we are with our businesses.
