According to scientists, there may actually be consciousness after death

Your consciousness is your current state of being.

It’s your awareness of what’s around you, it’s the understanding that you’re alive, breathing, functioning, living, growing, and existing.

But when you die, that consciousness does not simply disappear.

After all, the Law of the Conservation of Energy states that energy is neither created or destroyed in a closed system.

Essentially, when you die–you simply change form.

A new understanding of consciousness is changing the way we previously thought about life and death.

According to Dr. Robert Lanza:

If the body generates consciousness, then consciousness dies when the body dies. But if the body receives consciousness in the same way that a cable box receives satellite signals, then of course consciousness does not end at the death of the physical vehicle.

That means that consciousness moves on past death, and continues, just like a TV signal doesn’t end at your TV set, it goes to other TV sets and even radiates into space.

Quantum theorists have a deeper perspective of just what consciousness is and what happens to it when you pass on:

Consciousness resides, according to Stuart and British physicist Sir Roger Penrose, in the microtubules of the brain cells, which are the primary sites of quantum processing. Upon death, this information is released from your body, meaning that your consciousness goes with it. They have argued that our experience of consciousness is the result of quantum gravity effects in these microtubules, a theory which they dubbed orchestrated objective reduction (Orch-OR).

Isn’t that incredible?

Your body is just a temporary owner of your consciousness. It simply…rents it.

Does this prove that there’s life after death?

Not necessarily.

But it does show that there’s definitely something we cannot understand–yet.

Chasing away a night owl’s fears

Being a night owl seems like a chore more than a blessing, especially for those of us with 9 to 5 jobs.

Your mornings feel like they should be downtime, and if not spent asleep, then at least in bed or in a calm and relaxed state.

Here are some strategies to overcome the challenge of being a night owl in the morning.

When you’re approaching work, “if you need that early boost to get you through the day, tackle the hard stuff first.”

That way, you don’t face the continual anxiety of having to do the “hard work” during the day.

But before you even get to work, start your day off the right way at home.

Coffee is a beloved drink not just for its effects, but for its ritual:

part of the reason I love coffee so much isn’t just because it tastes good and it’s caffeinated, but also because the process of brewing a nice cup of coffee is meditative for me; it’s a ritual I can indulge in first thing each day. Grinding the beans, weighing, timing the extraction, they’re all fun and relaxing, and the reward I get when I’m finished helps me get out of bed in the morning.

Waking up early and hitting the ground running simply comes easier to some than it does to others. I am not a morning person and I find myself most creative, spiritual, and focused at night.

But I find that consistency is the key to waking up early. Setting a wake up time, having morning rituals, and having something to look forward to in the morning is my way of overcoming the downsides of being a night owl.

Lizzie Velazquez suffers from a rare genetic disorder where her body has trouble storing fat.
