There will be times where you will see your child, a partner, a sibling or loved one making a decision that you feel is an incorrect one.  You will squirm and fuss, you will question their decision, become angry and attempt to convince them that what they are doing is not right for them in the long run.
Even though it may be painful for you to watch, please remember, it is their path and their existence.  The advice you give them, regardless of how wonderful you feel it is, is just advice.  Take the time to realize that the only thing they need is your love and support.  Each of you was created with an infinite number of options…..give yourself and others the chance to explore them. ~ Creator

Sleeping problems are on the rise in the United States. I know I for one don’t get enough. But did you know that there are 6 superfoods that can help improve your nights sleep? I’m going to have to try some of these!

Almonds

This is one of those foods I eat anyway! Awesome. Almonds help relax your muscles and contain magnesium and tryptophan.

Warm milk

Warm milk contains the amino acid tryptophan, which has a calming effect.

Chamomile Tea

Chamomile has a relaxing effect and helps with any kind of digestive cramp too. It helps calm agitated nerves and can get rid of insomnia.

Honey

Honey helps with anxiety, which can help you sleep if that’s what’s been keeping you up. Sugar helps keep you awake, but honey glucose has the opposite effect...

Sometimes it may seem that life is rigged, that it’s a set up, that you are given the idea that you have free will, yet everything is already in place. Sometimes you feel that life is all destiny and not your free will at all, only you are the last one to know. That’s just it. Free will means free. It doesn’t mean Free Control. This is another way to say that free will doesn’t have to mean getting your way.
 
How do you know what is actually your free will. In the world, you have been indoctrinated, even seemingly hypnotized. Maybe the myth of the Sirens is actually true, and you got swept up and chose your own waywardness, or chose it long ago and forgot. Maybe you are a rebel even to your own present-day causes. Maybe you stole yourself away and chose a disguise the way a spy might.
 
Maybe you don’t really know who you are even on the overt level of life. To be sure, you don’t know the extent of your Vastness in the Heavens. Now I am speaking of yourself as you perceive yourself in the world. Perhaps you are a charlatan, and you have fooled yourself. You may consciously vote one way while you betray yourself and choose situations and events that belie who you thought you were. You weep to have free will freely while you secretly choose what befalls even as it seems to be foisted on you. Maybe you are your own betrayer. Maybe you yourself tethered your free will to cinder blocks.
 

Why do you want to live off the grid? Everyone, I think, has their own reasons and ideas for wanting to move off the grid. Boiling it down, these are the top 5.

Self Sufficiency

Living off the grid in a self sufficient manner brings with it a certain independence which cannot be found in modern living. Modern living (i.e. city living) is a dependent system. Each block or “grid” square of a city depends on the next for support.

If there were a collapse of the financial system -which is the most likely “doomsday” scenario- then the grocery stores...

HJ: The only limitations that exist for us are the ones that we falsely believe are true.  Limitation only exist in the mind and therefore it can be erased.  It is absolutely an illusion, which is the most beautiful thing, because it is not real.  This article is designed to help you permanently see through the illusion and begin to live in an unlimited, abundant way.

Break Through the Illusion of Limitation

By Guy Finley | Trans4Mind | Guy Finley

Here’s a strange paradox of the upward path that runs through Real Life: the more conscious we become of what limits us, the more limitless becomes our reality! So, take as long as you need to understand the following special lesson; it sheds much needed light on ...

The Buddha was sitting under a tree talking to his disciples when a man came and spat in his face. He wiped it off, and he asked the man, “What next? What do you want to say next?” The man was a little puzzled because he himself never expected that when you spit on somebody’s face, he will ask, “What next?” He had no such experience in his past. He had insulted people and they had become angry and they had reacted. Or if they were cowards and weaklings, they had smiled, trying to bribe the man. But Buddha was like neither, he was not angry nor in any way offended, nor in any way cowardly. But just matter-of-factly he said, “What next?” There was no reaction on his part.

But Buddha’s disciples became angry, and they reacted. His closest disciple, Ananda, said, “This is too much. We cannot tolerate it. He has to be punished for it, otherwise everybody will start doing things like this!”

Buddha said, “You keep silent. He has not offended me, but you are offending me...

An amazing thing starts to happen when you choose to encourage others. Not only do you help others move beyond fear and doubt into their authentic power, but you also create a shift for yourself by focusing on the wonderful qualities you see in others, which supports your authenticity, as well. Further, by choosing to pay attention to the beautiful traits of others, you will naturally draw more of the same to your experience, and will be further amplifying those traits within yourself. Do you see? It supports the highest alignment of everyone involved, and that, Dear Ones, is upliftment. ~Archangel Gabriel
