Many of us have heard about grounding, and the health benefits of walking around barefooted, but could it be that walking on the soil is only the first step in creating a deep and powerful bond with the earth?  Have you ever wondered if, in order to aid in our natural balance of emotional, mental and physical health, we need to connect more deeply with the four elements of nature?

We are unique expressions of source and because of that uniqueness we have a unique relationships with the world around us.  Currently, in modern society, we have filled our world with synthetic materials.  Plastics, artificial light, artificial heat, processed food, and sidewalks perpetuate the disconnect between nature and ourselves.  We are getting to the point where it is easier to be disconnected then it is to take the time and energy to reconnect with nature.

Red pill blue pill. Truth pill deception pill. Lion pill sheep pill. Pain pill comfort pill. Swallowing the red pill is no walk in the park. The rabbit hole is a long, twisted tunnel through the red and blue guts of God. But it also weaves a labyrinth through the human heart that not even God can track.

Indeed, the Rabbit hole, like the red pill, doesn’t lead us into Wonderland –it leads us out of it. With this spirit of adventure, please allow me to take you on a journey out of the matrix of Plato’s Cave (codependence), into the cocoon (independence), and into the Cosmic Commune (interdependence). It will be a bumpy ride, but just as the pain gained from wisdom is infinitely more rewarding than the bliss gained from ignorance, it will be worth it. Let the journey begin.

HJ: Your life can become effortless.  In fact, the path of least resistance is the default state of all life in the universe.  It is only us as humans, with our higher mental functions, who can choose a path other than effortlessness and flow.  Which means we can create struggle and suffering.  But it also means we can choose to create contentment and peace.  This article is all about switching between those two realities in the direction of flow, contentment and peace.  Enjoy.

On Contentment and Ambition: A Food and Hunger Analogy

By Manal Ghosain | One With Now

“Contentment is an inexhaustible treasure.” ~ Arabic proverb

Contentment is all we need to live a rich and peaceful life...

Enjoy the blessed moment (for it is only a moment) that you are human and all of the things that go with it. You may choose never to come this way again. ~ Creator

The days where you can flow into what brings you the most joy are always the best days for you. This is why you enjoy your weekends and vacations so much. You can enter into the flow at the start of the day, and navigate it strictly by what will be fun or satisfying for you, by whatever it is you may like to experience, which supports you in staying fully present, happy, and grateful for your circumstances.

This is why we encourage you to follow your passions, to choose only career paths that bring you joy – because it will allow you to stay in the flow of what you love, leading to far greater satisfaction with your life. Finding and following your purpose will shift you from living a day to day existence of resistance and wishing your life away to get to the next day off, to fully embracing all of your days, and that is what we wish for you, always. ~Archangel Gabriel

How do we stop worrying?

We’ve all been there…lying in bed awake, staring at the ceiling and worrying about things we can’t change (especially in the middle of the night). Fleeting thoughts cloud your brain and wrench your heart, “If only I said this, or have done that…”

Second-guessing actions, decisions, thoughts, words and deeds burns the counterproductive emotion of worry deep into your mind and soul. We have become a society that equates worry with love. We believe that if we worry about people, places or things then we are being helpful.

Neh Neh!

Worrying isn’t the solution, it’s the problem! Ever take an exam, participate in an athletic event or give a speech while, worried? What happened? Did you get good results or not so good results? Turns out, the MORE you worry the LESS you accomplish. Yet… we still worry, why?

It’s safe to say that sleep and the ability to retain new information or learn new skills is intertwined. Imagine, the day before a big exam and we study all night losing out on precious sleep, possibly resulting in lower test results than we had hoped for because there was no other choice than to pull an “all-nighter.”

If there’s one thing I hear people say the most, it’s that everyone has difficulty falling sleep. With our minds occupied on what we did today or what we need to do tomorrow, technological gadgets, and external distractions it’s no wonder our capacity to relax is depleted, especially before bed.

In the medical community and our personal lives it is well-known that restful sleep is significant in maintaining a sound mind and able body, yet plenty of people are affected from a lack of it, in fact about 50-70 million Americans according to the National Institutes of Health. How do we complete our tasks for the day? We simply push through somehow and we’re missing out in ways.
