This is one of those remarkable not-to-be-missed videos, which illustrates how a simple act of kindness can infuse another person’s life with joy. You’ll witness the miraculous transformation of a despondent, withdrawn elderly man to one full of love, joy, and life through the use of simple modern technology and the power of music. The process demonstrates again that the brain can change when given the right “medicine.”
Enjoy and please share!
“Premature babies who survive are tiny miracles of modern medicine. Kyrie (red dot) and Brielle Jackson are also examples of a far more primitive science, that of the loving touch. Born 12 weeks early, the twins were whisked into separate incubators.
Kyrie, the larger at two pounds three ounces, slept peacefully. But Brielle had breathing and heart-rate problems, didn’t gain weight and fussed when anyone tried to comfort her. Finally, a nurse tried a technique called ‘double bedding’ and put the sisters together for the first time since they shared a womb.
‘Brielle snuggled up to Kyrie,’ reports mom Heidi Jackson, ‘and she calmed right down.’
With her sister near, Brielle began to thrive. Sooner then expected, the girls went home…”
-Life Magazine, June 1996
The power of love, the power of kindness, the power of touch lies within your heart right now. Let it free! You never know… It might just save someone’s life.

Inspiration:
“An effortless compassion can arise for all beings who have not realized their true nature. So limitless is it that if tears could express it, you would cry without end. Not only compassion, but tremendous skillful means can be born when you realize the nature of mind. Also you are naturally liberated from all suffering and fear, such as the fear of birth, death and the intermediate state. Then if you were to speak of the joy and bliss that arise from this realization, it is said by the buddhas that if you were to gather all the glory, enjoyment, pleasure and happiness of the world and put it all together, it would not approach one tiny fraction of the bliss that you experience upon realizing the nature of mind.”

Albert Einstein (March 14, 1879 – April 18, 1955), the famous theoretical physicist, developed the theory of relativity and is considered the father of modern physics. The nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer shared his impressions of Einstein by saying, “He was almost wholly without sophistication and wholly without worldliness . . . There was always with him a wonderful purity at once childlike and profoundly stubborn.”
Due to his brilliance Einstein was often called upon to offer opinions on topics beyond the realm of physics; thus the wide range of inspired quotations.
“Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.”
“Everything should be as simple as it is, but not simpler.”
“Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.”

To heal and transform this world into a dynamic, peaceful realm where unity and happiness abides – it is possible – we need to activate “The Girl Effect” that resides within each and every one of us.
It doesn’t matter if you are a girl, a boy, a woman, or a man. Each of us is mix of the masculine and feminine principles. Neither is better or worse. We need both.
But we need the masculine and feminine in balance.
The masculine paradigm has been on overkill in our world, literally and figuratively, for far too long. It’s far past time to balance it out with feminine qualities like:
Don’t get me wrong. The feminine isn’t just soft. She can strike with alarming clarity and enormous power.
