Health is kind of trending right now in our culture.  People are becoming more concerned about what is in the foods they eat and the medications they take.  People go to great lengths to try to improve the health of their bodies, which is why health and wellness has become a multi-billion dollar industry.  We all want to be healthier individuals, especially when it takes very little effort to do so.  Scientists have recently discovered the amazing health benefits of “earthing”, and some are even calling it the most important health discovery in modern times.  It takes absolutely no effort, and it’s absolutely free.

So what is earthing?  “Earthing”, also known as grounding, simply means to physically reconnect with the earth. Walking barefoot, laying in the grass, and hugging a tree are all examples of earthing, and these practices have...

American scientists studied the effects of mindfulness meditation on stress levels and came to the conclusion that just three consecutive days of 25-minute meditation can significantly alleviate stress.

The technique of mindfulness meditation has helped many people to improve the overall state of their mind and body. However, until now, most studies have been mainly focused only on the therapeutic effects of the long-term meditation practice.

In a record breaking low for the amount of trust that Americans place in the government, a new poll from CNN/ORC shows that only 13 percent now trust the government to do the right thing. This is the lowest number registered since polling began, even lower than directly after Nixon’s Watergate scandal when trust was at 36 percent.

The distrust is not isolated to one branch of government or to one of the corporate political parties, but shared between them all. The reasons for this drop in public opinion are likely tied to the middle class’ destruction since 2008, perpetual wars, banker bailouts, endless political scandals, unreprese...

Juicing cannabis usually involves blending or pressing fresh plant material instead of buds that have been dried or aged. Some believe that raw cannabis should be treated as a dietary staple. Cannabis is one of the most versatile plants with few others matching its medicinal powers. Separating the myths from the facts still remains a challenge. Here are the top reasons to juice cannabis rather than smoke it.

1. Anti-Inflammatory Properties

Cannabis – whether Sativa, Indica, Ruderalis, male, female, hermaphrodite, wild, bred for fiber, seeds or medicinal resin – is a vegetable with every dietary essential we can’t synthesize: Essential Amino Acids, Essential Fatty Acids, Essential Cannabinoid acids and hundreds of anti-Cancer compounds. Juicing better allows the body to interact with cannabinoids through the gut, small intestine and ent...

“Crazy wisdom is the philosophical worldview that recommends swimming against the tide, cheerfully seizing the short end of the stick, embracing insecurity, honoring paradox, courting the unexpected, celebrating the unfamiliar, shunning orthodoxy, volunteering for tasks nobody else wants or dares to do, and breaking taboos in order to destroy their power. It’s the wisdom of those who turn the tables on despair by lampooning it, and who neither seek authority nor submit to it. To enlarge the soul, light up the brain, and liberate the spirit.” –Tom Robbins

Do you ever feel like the little rebel inside you is being suppressed. Or that your inner revolutionary has been fooled into thinking that there’s no need for revolution...

“We meet ourselves time and time again in a thousand disguises on the path of life” –Carl Jung

If we take any random person then pick five people in their life and interview them about said person we are bound to hear five different perceptions about them. One person may perceive them as funny, kind and warm-hearted while another person may see them as irresponsible, immature, and unintelligent. So whose perception is the correct one?

One of the biggest key in the path of self-awareness is the knowledge that our perception of others has nothing to do with them and everything to do with us. We literally concoct our own perception about people that we meet based on our own relationship with ourselves and our own personality traits. The ego, fearing attention being brought to it, tends to always look outside of ...
