therapy for your brain

If you have trouble sleeping or suffer from certain disorders such as anxiety, you might want to consider Brain Music Therapy. Dr Galina Mindlin has developed a technique that translates the activity of brain waves and translates them into a musical composition. This is played back as therapy and apparently promotes healing and relaxation in the body.

You can find out more about Brain Music Therapy here.

as if we need futher proof that we're all one

Of course we're all one! But mathematics can help us realize this for a fact.. There's an interesting article going around that shows how we all, everyone on this earth, share a common ancestor. This person lived between 2000 - 5000 years ago. Fascinating! Although surely there are some remote tribes in existence that would mean we'd have to go further back? At any rate, some good food for thought. read it at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/13621729/

my past interest in numismatics

I used to be interested in numismatics, that is, coin collecting. I think I still have quite a big collection at home that I haven't looked at in many years! Anyway, I saw with interest that the US government is issuing a new gold minted coin, officially a $50 piece, but with a collection value of much more. This is the first time they've issued a pure gold coin for investing and for collecting. It may make a good investment! More at http://www.usmint.gov

I'm currently reading Michael Cunningham's latest book, Specimen Days. You can see more at http://literati.net/Cunningham/CunninghamBooks.htm

 

I'm enjoying it. It makes me want to know more about Walt Whitman.
