In any situation you are presented with, the best thing you can do is to first ensure that you are in your highest alignment and balance. From there, the way to proceed will become very apparent to you, and any decisions will be made from a place of mindfulness, love, and empowerment for all. Balance and love are always the great stabilizers. ~Archangel Gabriel

As softly as a mother kisses her sleeping child, as sweetly as a lover touches their beloved……so should you be kind to yourself. If you do not treat yourself well, how will you truly know what it feels like when it comes to you? ~ Creator

If you’re looking for a detailed channeled book that addresses nearly every key aspect of our ongoing shift into a higher consciousness, look no further than The Ascension Manual – A Lightworker’s Guide to Living in the Fifth Dimension – Part 1 from Caroline Oceana Ryan.

I started reading it with the intention of offering my perspective on what it had to say, and I ended up so captivated that I eagerly drank in all the advice that was offered, much of which was extremely relevant to my recent questions and experiences.

If you enjoy channeled material that offers a grounded perspective on a wide array of issues that have to do with our physical/spiritual ascension and the things we can do right now to make this process easier on ourselves, this guide could help you.

The AP charges that Taylor Energy Company ‘has downplayed the leak’s extent and environmental impact’

While Gulf Coast residents and environmental groups focus on the upcoming five-year anniversary of the Deepwater Horizon disaster, a damning Associated Press investigation has exposed the lingering impacts of a separate 2004 leak in the Gulf of Mexico—one that few people know about, and one that is far worse than the industry wants to admit.

Taylor Energy Company, which formerly operated the oil platform that collapsed during Hurricane Ivan, “has downplayed the leak’s extent and environmental impact, likening it to scores of minor spills and natural seeps the Gulf routinely absorbs,” according to AP journalists Michael Kunzelman and Jeff Donn.

“They want to silence us … but nevertheless, here we are,” declares NoSomosDelito (We Are Not Crime), a grassroots activist group formed as a protest against Spain’s new draconian anti-free speech law.

Seemingly just another bid for liberty that’s so commonplace in today’s volatile political arena, this group has an exceptionally unique feature: the protestors out on the street aren’t real, they’re holograms.

Silencing Freedom

Under the Protection of Citizens’ Security Bill, as well as the Penal Code Reform and Anti-Terror Pact in Spain, protesters are criminalized and the freedom of average citizens has become severely restricted.

Scientists have calculated that the amount of force at work when you crack your knuckles has enough energy to cause damage to hard surfaces, yet studies show that the habit does not appear to cause long-term harm. By defining the process underlying joint cracking, scientists seek to discover its therapeutic benefits, or possible harms, their study published last week in PLOS ONE found.

Scientists in Canada have taken a step closer to an answer by discovering what exactly happens when a knuckle is cracked that causes the distinctive popping sounds.

Through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) video, the University of Alberta researchers observed that the cause is a cavity forming rapidly inside the joint.
