In Historic Ruling, Pair of Chimpanzees Recognized as ‘Legal Persons’

Chimpanzees are too intelligent to be held captive, argues the Nonhuman Rights Project
‘For the first time in U.S. history, a judge has effectively recognized two chimpanzees as
legal persons, in an order Monday which will allow a pair of research primates—Hercules
and Leo—to seek relief from unlawful imprisonment.
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Barbara Jaffe on Monday granted the chimps a writ of
habeas corpus that will require Stony Brook University, where they are being kept for
biomedical experiments, to appear in court and explain why the school has “unlawfully
detained” Leo and Hercules. That hearing is set for May 6.’
Jaffe's decision comes in response to a petition filed by the Nonhuman Rights Project
(NhRP). Steven Wise, one of the lawyers on the case, told the Guardian after the
ruling, "This is one step in a long, long struggle."
As NhRP stated in a press release Monday: "Under the law of New York State, only
a 'legal person' may have an order to show cause and writ of habeas corpus issued in
his or her behalf. The Court has therefore implicitly determined that Hercules and Leo
are 'persons.'"
"That's the first time that has happened," Wise said.
If Leo and Hercules are found to be unlawfully detained, they will be transferred to Save
the Chimps, a sanctuary in Ft. Pierce, Florida which currently holds 250 other primates
on 13 artificial islands.
"This is a big step forward to getting what we are ultimately seeking: the right to bodily
liberty for chimpanzees and other cognitively complex animals," NhRP executive director
Natalie Prosin told Science. "We got our foot in the door. And no matter what happens,
that door can never be completely shut again."
NhRP initially filed the suit in December 2013 on behalf of Leo, Hercules, and two other
chimps being held on private property, arguing that the primates were too intelligent
and emotionally complex to be kept in captivity. However, the case was dismissed by a
justice of the Supreme Court of Suffolk County. The organization refiled its petition last March.
"It feels great. We knew it was going to happen sometime," Wise said on Monday.
Prosin added, "It strengthens our argument that these nonhuman animals are not property."

9 Ways to Protect Yourself from Negative Energies

Waking Times
Do you find it exhausting to be around stressed out or negative people? Have you ever
left a dramatic situation feeling drained, even if you weren’t personally involved? For
most people, the answer is yes. This is because we are constantly absorbing the
energies of objects and people around us. Thoughts, emotions and words of other
people can have a profound impact on our psyche and physical well-being. Just as
spending time in nature or working in a garden can lessen stress and improve our
mood, when you’re in a crowded place you will draw in the energies of the people
around you, whether you feel it or not.
Here are some tools that to help you clear away negative energy and create a “shield”
to maintain your personal energy and keep your psyche clear from the impact of other
people and negative situations.
1. Crystals
It is common for people to be skeptical about the healing power of crystals, but one
should just turn to science and technology to find proof that crystals are objects of
measurable effect. Crystals are used in many objects we use every day including silicon,
which is used in all computers and mobile phones and LCD’s, and quartz, a silicate
material used in watches and clocks to regulate time. When you consider all of these
applications, the effect of crystals on outside energies is undeniable.
Many crystals, especially darker colored ones such as black onyx, obsidian, amethyst,
fluorite and tigers eye, repel negative energies and will cleanse your aura. The presence
of crystals can also alleviate stress, boost creativity, and contribute to healing and raise
levels of consciousness. It is important to remember that working with crystals has
much to do with your intentions and your openness to allowing the crystal to work.
2. Smudging Sage
The North American native tradition of smudging by burning white sage bundles has
been used for generations to clear out stale and negative energy out of the body and
spirit. With the right intent and respect, the smudging process can help you clean your
energy field, even if you are unaware of any problems. Smudging may help you clear
residual feelings regarding a situation that has past, negative emotions such as anger
and fear that linger after an event or interaction, tension and stress felt psychologically
or physically, as well as the harmful energies of other people that have latched
themselves to your psyche. Smudging is a relaxing way to regain composure and
recenter your awareness after experiencing distress.
3. Essential Oils
Using the natural healing properties of essential oils has become more popular as
people realize the limitations and detrimental side effects of some modern healing
modalities. Essential oils such as sandalwood, niaouli and myrrh all have very power
cleansing properties, and smell great. The olfactory sense is more closely linked to our
emotional system than any of our other senses, and by using essential oils a link is
created between healthy psychic states and the physical presence of the now.
When using essential oils it is important to inhale only the aroma of the oil, either
directly or using and oil diffuser (which can be very useful when cleansing and
protecting a larger space or several persons). Additionally, you can place a drop of oil in
a few specific spots around the head, such as back of the neck, crown of the head and
middle of the eyebrows.
4. Incense
Similar to sage smoke and diffused essential oils, incense is known for its purifying and
cleansing properties. Incense may not be the best option if you need to ward of psychic
attacks when in public, but it is a great tool to use when gathering with others and to
cleanse away negative and stale energies around your living spaces. Ensure you use
natural essential oil incense, such as Nag Champa and Tibetan Incense Sticks, that does
not have any toxic or artificial perfumes.
5. Using White Light Meditation
Science continues to prove that meditation is a powerful healing practice. You can use a
very easy and short meditation to protect yourself from psychic attacks. During such a
meditation, close your eyes, calm the breath, and then image in the mind’s eye a bright
white light forming a protective shield all around your body and any other person or
object that you want to safeguard. It is up to you how long you keep your eyes closed
and how bright your light will grow, and as you open your eyes continue with the
meditation by trusting that your white light will continue to surround, protect and
comfort you.
6. Cleansing Shower or Bath
The physical action of taking a shower or bath, with the right intention set in your mind,
can help wash away negative energy. Similar to the white light meditation, image all of
the negative energy lifting off each part of your body as you submerge into your bath or
as shower water hits your skin. Baths also allow for the use of essential oils, Epsom salt,
crystals and flower petals, for additional healing.
After you’ve completed your cleansing in the water, apply essential oils to dried skin.
You can use some of the oils mentioned above, or other calming oils that benefit the
skin such as lavender or ylang ylang. Mixing a few drops of essential oil into your
favorite lotion or with fractionated coconut oil is also a nice option.
7. Mantras
Words, even if only spoken in your mind, have a powerful effect in creating your reality.
When spoken out-loud, words and sounds can have an even more profound effect
because they create vibrations that interact with your energetic body, helping it to fall
into harmony or disharmony.
Chanting the following mantras repeatedly may help cleanse you of negative energy:
KRIM (pronounced “kreem”) – Used to stimulate the lower chakras of the body and
begin purifying the body.
HUM (pronounced “hoom”) – Used to break down negativity and spread positivity and
vitality through the body.
LAM (pronounced “lam”) – Used to cleanse impurities that have collected in your body
and clearing any energy blockages preventing your prana from flowing freely through all
your energy channels.
You can also create your own mantra with phrases and words that resonate with you
and help you shed all negativity. Another option is practicing a spoken Metta loving
kindness meditation which will release a wave of positivity that can be extremely
healing. See the example below.

8. Sounds
Similar to chanting mantras, sounds of chimes, bells and gongs have been used in
practices such as yoga to dispel negative spirits. In the modern world, wind chimes are
known for their relaxing effect on a person. The vibrations created by sounds of chimes
and bells resonate through the air breaking up stagnant and negative energies. They
also vibrate your energetic body and attune you to different frequencies, strengthening
your psyche and spiritual power.
9. Amulets
Amulets, trinkets and talismans, with the specific purpose of protecting the human
spirit, are most common in religious traditions, including items such as the Christian
cross and rosary and the Muslim hamsa. These types of symbols are believed to hold
great power, but similar to crystals, they react o your intentions. If you believe an item
is worthless, then it will offer you no protection.
