Moris Beracha.- Practicing mindfulness throughout the day is one of the first habits you must work on, because it will bring positive effects in all areas of your life. By being aware, you enjoy more day to day, you are more in tune with your own needs and, most importantly, you will begin to enjoy the present. The fundamental thing is to create opportunities throughout the day to be mindful and get your attention back to the moment. Concentrate on breathing It is not about taking thousands of breaths throughout the day, but taking deep, purifying and soothing breaths. It is beneficial to start the day by taking some deep breath, holding it and exhaling slowly. It is also good to do it throughout the day, to stay calm. After this breathing, there is a physical reaction when you consciously slow down your breathing. This happens because more oxygen is entering the brain and the heart rate is lowered. This is the simplest and most powerful tool that needs to be added into ...

Moris Beracha.- The goal of Mindfulness is to increase self-awareness, connecting body and mind to create a sense of calmness. This practice has proven benefits to relieve and reduce stress. If you want to start and give Mindfulness a chance, there are several ideal exercises to start with. Universia includes some very simple activities. Find a candle, light it and sit in front of it. Observe the flame for one minute, think only of the light. You can use an alarm to indicate when the time is over. It is normal that in tense situations our breathing is brief, superficial and centered in the chest. If you want to lower the revolutions, just focus on the present and pay attention to the way you breathe. When a situation overwhelms you or you feel you are not paying enough attention, stop for a moment and breathe. It is good to wonder what is happening or why that situation is upsetting you.  Understanding what we find challenging is the best way to get your mind adapte...

Moris Beracha. - Currently, there is evidence that the immune system can be improved through stress reduction, or the so-called mind-body medicine. You can use techniques that, after a long-period practice, produce soothing and anti-inflammatory effects for mind and spirit. The brain under polar circumstances (i.e., calm and happiness versus stress and depression) produces a dramatically different set of chemical mediators, including cortisol, one of the master switches of inflammatory responses. In addition, the brain transmits nerve signals consisting of two alternative parts: the sympathetic system, designed to accelerate acutely, but at a chronic cost; and the parasympathetic system, designed to calm. Experiments have shown that it is associated with anti-inflammatory properties. The hint is to learn how to control them to achieve optimal immune health. However, although these exercises are available to everyone, they require diligence and hard work to achieve lasting resu...

It is a cryptocurrency that could be (and it is already) the new way of doing business when become digital money and, most importantly, universal. However, in recent months another cryptocurrency has gained upside momentum: Ethereum. This digital token has become the second most valuable currency breaking the $1,000 barrier per coin ($ 1,023.51). The price increase multiplied investments in this currency, with positive estimates for the year. "Ethereum is a new infrastructure on which anything can be put (...) while Bitcoin is the on-ramp into the crypto world," Lex Sokolin, Autonomous Research’s director of fintech strategy, told Business Insider. The biggest difference, and that may be important in the future, is that the number of Bitcoin is not expected to exceed 21,000,000. Ethereum does not have any coins limit. Ethereum’s conception is based on smart contracts where ag...

According to figures from Morgan Stanley and Alex de Vries, an economist who tracks the use of energy in the industry, the computer power needed to create each digital token consumes at least as much electricity as the average American household burns through in two years. On the other hand, the entire network supporting Ethereum gobbles up another country’s worth of electricity each day. Also, De Vries estimated that each bitcoin transaction currently requires 80,000 times more electricity to process than each Visa credit card transaction. Vitalik Buterin, the creator of Ethereum, is not indifferent to this "investment". The Russian programmer is leading an experiment with a more energy-efficient way to create tokens. "I would personally feel very unhappy if my main contribution to t...
