Head pressure, medically referred to as intracranial pressure, is pressure between the skull and the brain. Too much pressure in the head can restrict blood flow to the brain and press on structures in the brain. It is a serious medical condition that has the potential to cause severe damage to the brain or spinal cord. Contact your doctor if you experience pressure in the head. Symptoms of abnormal head pressure include lethargy, behavior changes, headache, seizures and vomiting.Even though it is tempting to think of our energy body as a sort of plumbing system with tubes and vents, the reality is completely different. Our energy system is more like clouds of gases that merge and mingle and sometimes cramp up. Or even better, you can imagine it as different coloured streams of water that weave and intermingle and sometimes freeze into ice. These different coloured water streams are our thoughts and emotions and when we try to suppress these thoughts and emotions they “freeze“ and we experience them as “blocks“ in our mind and body.he head chakras (forehead and crown) have to do with the mental part of our being which consists of our thoughts, concepts and beliefs on the intellectual and spiritual levels. When we experience head pressure we are literally suppressing certain thoughts that we do not want to think. It is this suppression that we experience as the head pressure and it happens completely unconsciously. People without kundalini also often unconsciously suppress certain thoughts but due to their greater unawareness they do not feel the pain of this suppression – they are more numb.In the kundalini process, a thirst awakens in us for expanded consciousness and more spirituality. However, there may be still parts of our old ego alive that do not want to have certain spiritual insights and defend themselves by rigorously suppressing ideas that challenge the old ego. So, this is the inner conflict that plays itself out in our head chakras – the fight for spiritual insights and authenticity on the one hand and the resistance of our old ego that is not yet ready to accept some humbling insights on the other.
Before I tell you what kind of thoughts people typically suppress, I need to give you a little warning. If you are a person with head pressure you will probably not like what I am about to tell you for the very reason that you have repressed these kinds of insights in the first place. But everything in this article is based on my work with hundreds of clients who had kundalini syndrome. All the clients who could take the following advice on board now have much less head pressure or none at all.
In my experience, most people with head pressure suppress self-critical thoughts. These people describe themselves as laid-back, easy going and even loving towards themselves. They do not criticise themselves and when others criticise them, they either completely ignore it or they get angry. However, in order to be a spiritually mature person, it is important that we clearly see our many flaws (without beating ourselves up about them) and then get to work to eliminate these flaws.
For people with low self-esteem, this is not difficult to do as they are usually too self-critical to start with. But it is those people who like themselves and have a high opinion of themselves who are most prone to pressure in the head chakras during the kundalini process. (If you do not like this insight, remember that I warned you!

Kundalini awakening symptoms include strange body sensations like shaking, tingling or the feeling of moving energy. On the psychologically level we often experience greatly intensified emotions and a general over-sensitivity to ‘everything’. And on the spiritual level we may experience a great increase of spiritual interest but also a lot of confusion.
The first thing that I explain to all my kundalini clients is that a kundalini awakening and its symptoms can be compared with the awakening of our sexual drive during puberty. Both processes have a lot in common.
First of all, both processes are irreversible. No matter, how much we yearn to go back to the carefree innocence of our childhood, puberty endows us with strong sexual urges that cannot be ignored. In the same way there is no going back once kundalini has made its presence known in our body and mind.
In both processes, puberty as well as kundalini awakening, we are endowed with a lot more power than we previously had. In puberty we develop the awesome power to create a new human being and during a kundalini awakening we receive powers like clairvoyance, supernatural abilities and ultimately the ability to manifest ourselves as a divine being.
But until we are able to harvest the full rewards of these newly awakened powers we have to change radically. As we all know, the transition from being a child to a happy parent usually entails many years of difficulties until we learn to channel our sex drive into loving relationships. Everything has to change during these years – our self-image, our relationships, our ability to take responsibility for our actions and generally our entire outlook on life.
In order to manage this process it is paramount to live as peacefully, lovingly and healthily as possible. Anything that could upset ourselves further like taking drugs, having promiscuous sex or experimenting on our mind with meditation without the help of an experienced kundalini teacher should be avoided.
It is good to have a spiritual outlook on life and develop trust in a divine power. But it is important not to overdo spiritual practices as they make the kundalini stronger. If you feel inclined to meditate daily it is paramount only to do this under the guidance of an experienced meditation teacher who has gone through a kundalini experience themselves.
Do ask your local meditation teacher if they have gone through this but do not be surprised if they haven’t because real kundalini awakenings are still very rare. Luckily, in the age of the internet you can also try to find a teacher online and build a trusting relationship in order to get guidance about how to meditate.
It is particularly important to avoid any form of energy healing like reiki or acupuncture. These forms of healing are devised for people who are not in a kundalini process and often do a very good job. But once we have become over-sensitive during a kundalini process these healing modalities can aggravate us severely.
A comparison with puberty can explain why this is. Imagine being upset about your emerging sexual needs and you go to an energy healer to get rid of them. It is obvious that this is doomed to fail. Our libido, as well as the kundalini, is far stronger than these approaches and we will only end up in even more suffering if we try to remove of either of them.
Another thing to avoid is breathing exercises like re-birthing or yogic breathing. Both are powerful ways to alter our body and brain chemistry and can have disastrous consequences if used even slightly in the wrong way. Breathing exercises can be compared with prescription drugs. They should only be used when administered by a skilful physician and certainly not to someone who is seriously challenged by a kundalini process.
I have had many kundalini clients who read all sorts of horror stories on the internet and were very afraid. It is this fear that makes kundalini symptoms far worse than they need be. Just think of how a teenage girl would feel who is repeatedly told that there is the risk of being murdered by her own husband. While this may be true in extremely rare cases, it is not helpful to frighten young people in this way.
The same can be said about kundalini. In rare cases people may deal with it so badly that they end up in a very painful place. But in order for this to happen a lot of negative factors have come together and it is not useful to frighten yourself with these ideas on top of the challenges that kundalini entails anyway. So I strongly advise people to stay away from reading any frightening material about kundalini.
A kundalini awakening is a very individual and personal process, just like the development of a satisfying sexuality after puberty is a very personal process. People usually benefit a great deal from personal guidance in both processes.
For a kundalini awakening, you need an experienced spiritual teacher who has gone through this process themselves – just like all youths need guidance about sexuality and relationships from someone who has mastered these areas themselves.
People also benefit from guidance about how to deal with their budding clairvoyance, which can be very confusing and frightening for the unprepared mind. However, the biggest challenge is always the very personal material that emerges from one’s unconscious mind during this process, requiring personal advice.
Finally, it is paramount to adjust your spiritual practices to accommodate the kundalini so that it flows calmly and steadily and does not erupt in fits and starts. In order to do this, you need a personal relationship to a kundalini teacher who can guide you in this way.

Looks as if you could buy almost anything from this shop and bar in Ballybunion, Co. Kerry at the corner of Main Street and Cliff Road. It's a pub now.
Our thanks to 3.1415926535 for this and this contemporary view of Shortis's pub as it is now.
Thanks to DannyM8 for doing some digging on the Shortis family in the 1901 and 1911 census.
This was the Shortis family in 1901, with father and mother William and Annie, both aged 32 and described as General Merchant and Publican and Wife of a Merchant respectively.
Matters took a sad turn for the Shortis family in 1905 however. DannyM8 reports:
"Annie Died in Childbirth 1905
William Shortis, Born: 1869, From Carrick on Suir, Co Tipperary, Married to Annie Browne Died: 1905, 'Died of 'Broken heart', leaving 5 children with no parents. Occupation: Manager of Lartigue railway. Exported Cashen salmon to Harrods in London, England. Reference: He built Shortis's bar and lodge in Ballybunnion, Co Kerry."
The Census of 1911 sees William and Annie Shortis replaced by Norah and Mary Brown, sisters and Aunts to the Shortis children.
DannyM8 also found out that Patrick Shortis, aged 8 in 1901, was at All Hallows, Drumcondra, Dublin in 1911 aged 18, and described as a Student of Theology Undergraduate (aka a priest in training?), and provides a follow-up to Patrick Shortis's story:
"Patrick Shortis and Daniel Scanlon both lost their lives in the fight for independence and were honoured by the North Kerry branch of Republican Sinn Fein.
Patrick Shortis fought at the GPO in 1916 and was killed with the O'Rahilly on an assault on the Rotunda while Daniel Scanlon lost his life in Ballybunion in 1917 while on active duty against occupied forces."
stephen Kelleghan added further Shortis family information:
"There was also a Dr. Liam Shortis from Ballybunion was in Tintown during the Civil war as a Republican prisoner, hes mentioned in Mossie Harnetts book called "Victory & Woe" page 156, he was a brother of Patrick Shortis, he was released in 1924 became a eye specialist and passed away in the 50s."
Really delighted that slimdandy was inspired to apply his artistic skills to this photo. He said:
"This is what Heaven is to me. A dry goods store (because I can't take anything with me when I go), with a Bar in the back and a nice room upstairs. All needs met."

As always, a right mix of aged stuff outside the depot in Camborne, a tradition that was evident in 2004.
Seen here are a former Yorkshire Rider B10M with Plaxton Derwent body 66556 G456JYG, a pair of old Mercs in 51147 L647VCV and 50843 K343OAF, and a 20 year old Olympian in 34751 A751VAF.
Pride of place are the pair of Duple 425s, still wearing SWT livery in ACY178A and another possibly F134DEP. Think they were a short term loan for RR duties.
As you can see from this not really inspired picture, we're more than ready for a holiday. So Buba and the pack will be spending the next week in our beloved cabin in the woods (Buba is already longingly looking in the general direction of course ;))

As an Allied attack on Europe loomed, the local French Resistance increased its activities in order to disrupt local German forces and hinder communications. 2nd SS Panzer Division Das Reich was ordered to make its way across the country to the fighting in Normandy. Along the way it killed many French citizens and, in turn, came under attack and sabotage from the French Resistance.
Early on the morning of June 10, 1944, Sturmbannführer Adolf Diekmann, commanding the I. battalion of the 4th Waffen-SS ("Der Führer") panzer-grenadier regiment, informed Sturmbannführer Otto Weidinger at regimental headquarters that he had been approached by two French civilians who claimed that a German officer was being held by the French Resistance in Oradour-sur-Vayres, a nearby town. The captured German was alleged to be Sturmbannführer Helmut Kämpfe, commander of the 2nd SS Panzer reconnaissance battalion, who may have been captured by the maquis the day before.
On June 10 Diekmann's battalion sealed off the town of Oradour-sur-Glane, having confused it with nearby Oradour-sur-Vayres, and ordered all the townspeople – and anyone who happened to be in or nearby the town – to assemble in the village square, ostensibly to have their papers examined. In addition to the residents of the village the SS also apprehended six people who did not live there but had the misfortune of riding their bikes through town when they arrived.
All the women and children were then taken to and locked in the church while the village itself was looted. Meanwhile, the men were led to six barns and sheds where machine-gun nests were already in place. According to the account of a survivor, the soldiers began shooting at them, aiming for their legs so that they would die more slowly. Once the victims were no longer able to move, the soldiers covered their bodies with kindling and set the barns on fire. Only five men escaped; 190 men died.
The soldiers then proceeded to the church and put an incendiary device in place there. After it was ignited, women and children tried to flee from the doors and windows of the church but were met with machine-gun fire. 247 women and 205 children died in the mayhem. Only one woman survived, 47-year-old local housewife Marguerite Rouffanche. She had managed to slide out of a small window at the back of the church, and hid in the bushes overnight until the Germans had moved on. Another small group of about twenty villagers had fled Oradour as soon as the soldiers appeared. That night, the remainder of the village was razed.
A few days later survivors were allowed to bury the dead. 642 inhabitants of Oradour-sur-Glane had been brutally murdered in a matter of hours.

Every day, as soon as the sun showed up, he would be all set to serve ‘chai’ (tea) and biscuit. He’d rise before everyone, so that tea was ready by the time everybody woke up. Smoke from moist coal at 4 am before lighting his chullha, would curl up and each corners of the dark alleys of north Kolkata, and old residents would realize that the day has begun. He’d been doing this for years now. His ‘chai’ tastes the same too, one that’d motivate people for the long day ahead. His stall, wasn’t like cafes that this generation is used to, but it is a witness to friendship that lasts till now, as grandfathers in spotless white dhoti and supporting stick would meet to talk politics and economy. He would go on filling the glasses for countless times with so much love and care. Life is fast out there, and each day drowns too soon, but here at his tea stall, life halted, as he’d smile, nod and for a while though, as the tea would sink, you’d realize how important his little contribution is, to your daily, really busy life.
As some of you know, I really don't like heights. This was taken at one of the stop offs on our bus tour, at Cabo Girao. This platform was constructed in October 2012, and stands 580 metres above sea level. Far, far too high for me. This was the nearest I got to it, and to be honest, this was a step too far.......

The Port Charlotte Town Center originally opened in August 1989, as the first (and currently only) major enclosed shopping mall in Charlotte County. Built and opened by the DeBartolo Corporation, the mall opened with Sears, JCPenney, and Belk-Lindsey as original anchors, with space available for three more. Maas Brothers was originally planned to open as a fourth anchor in 1990, but these plans later fell through, due to the financial troubles that parent company Federated was going through at the time.
Dillard's and Montgomery Ward were added as fourth and fifth anchors in 1992. Around the same time, Belk-Lindsey closed at the mall and was replaced by Burdines in 1994. A 16-screen Regal Cinemas multiplex was added on to the mall in 1999 as its final newly-built anchor, replacing an older 8-screen cinema at the corner of US-41 and Cochran Boulevard (now occupied by a post office and Edgewater Church). Montgomery Ward closed in 2000-01 with the bankruptcy of the chain, and was replaced by Bealls in 2002. Burdines was renamed to Burdines-Macy’s in 2003, before becoming Macy’s in 2005.
Junior anchors of the mall include Old Navy (opened in 1999) and DSW Shoe Warehouse.

As a street photographer, for me, this is the look that I strive to get.
I went out and spent an afternoon shooting and if this is the only shot
worth printing and posting I can say it was a reawarding day out on the street.
Hope you like it as well.

Wow, over 19.000 views on this photo.
Unnur, we've been friends since we were six years old :]]
We took this at work, it was 8 o'clock in the morning and there were no costumers so .. we decided to use lovely places in the building.
We were both soo tired, we both had like .. one - two hours of sleep.
She looked amazing apart from that, and i'm very satisfied with the pictures. No one could have done that specific photoshoot better than Unnur did.
Doesn't she look absolutely amazing?
