Have you heard of Kratom?

Why are people across the U.S. chewing on the small, glossy leaves of the Southeast Asian Kratom tree? It’s an ancient plant medicine related to coffee, and it produces a high that’s both euphoric and legal. Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) has long been used in Thailand and Malaysia to relieve pain, settle the stomach and reduce opiate dependence. Now it’s taking off in the West.

According to SageWisdom.org, Kratom leaves can be chewed fresh or dry, powdered, or brewed into a tea. It is not usually smoked, b...

Can you imagine waking up one morning to discover that all compasses are pointing south instead of north? The effect could cause geomagnetic health problems in up to 15% of the population of the planet.

It’s not as bizarre as it sounds. Earth’s magnetic field has flipped — though not overnight — many times throughout the planet’s history. Its dipole magnetic field, like that of a bar magnet, remains about the same intensity for thousands to millions of years, but for incompletely known reasons it occasionally weakens and, presumably over a...

Hello Angel lovers! May we all embrace our angels along with this beautiful season of autumn.

My Wingmen are Archangel Michael and Archangel Raphael, the two angels that I keep near and dear to my heart. Of course there are many other angels, some I am aware of and others I may not know but I can still enjoy their presence. It is perfectly fine for me not to know their names, sometimes I will simply shout, “Angels lets have a great day, guide my efforts to a joyous outcome!” I just love that feature about them, meaning that some of them are content in staying anonymous. I never look at them individually as special, but I will tell you that there are so many angels and each one of them has their very own specific talent. In the world of angels, there is no one angel that is thought to be better than another. The angels that show up for you are there because they have heard you and they know the solution that will heal your concern. Sometimes I will ask Archangel Michael...

Good news if you’re a shark! Or if you’re someone who cares about sharks at all. WildAid, which is a nonprofit organization dedicated to reducing the demand for wildlife products says that the shark fin market in China has been steadily declining for the last two decades.

Shark fin soup, which sounds pretty disgusting honestly, is a delicacy in China, costing as much as $100 a bowl. The practice of harvesting a shark’s fin has led more than one species of shark in the direction of extinction, and some 73 million sharks are killed for their fins every year. The most disgusting part is they’re only harvest for their fins...

HJ: There are 7 core areas of your life that contribute to and ultimately determine your level of happiness and fulfillment.  When you begin to gain mastery, or rather, you begin to harmonize and balance them, your life begins to get better and rapidly at that.  Most people believe if they just had enough money everything would work itself out, but that is not the case.  Money can be helpful, but money cannot buy you a spiritual connection, money cannot change your attitudes and beliefs.  Money can facilitate a journey towards health, but it in and of itself cannot buy you health.

And that’s a big part of the beauty of these 7 keys — money is not required.  It is more about your relationship with yourself and you willingness and ability to look within and heal those parts of yourself that need it.  And doing so will provide you with the richest rewards and splendors — a deeply fulfilling life that you wake up everyday loving wholeheartedly.

The Seven Keys to Creating Your Best Year (and Life)

Creating a deepy fulfilling life is easie...

Imagine the first time you look into your (a) newborn child’s face. The purity and hope of The Universe in his/her eyes shines back at you with a brilliance that is very rarely matched. THAT is unconditional love. You know not why you love, you just do. Each and every one of you still possesses that quality. See it in each other! ~ Creator

Frustration comes from a belief that things are wrong or unfolding (or not unfolding) in a way that is contrary to what you think they should. Yet, the universe is always conspiring to assist you and to move you into your next highest experience the fastest and most efficient way possible.

Dear Ones, the universe works with the energies of in and out, ebb and flow, action and rest. It is necessary to create balance for you and your planet. Trust! Know that a long lull will always be followed by a period of action, just as intense movement will always be followed by rest. Have faith and trust in the wisdom of the system, and know that energies will always move according to exactly what you need at any given moment.

Simply put, if you are in a rest period, you are in energetic preparation for action, and if you are in an action phase, you are accomplishing much before it is time to rest. Make peace with a lull by remembering a time when you were so busy you were exhausted and how good it felt to finally get time off to rest. Embrace an action period, not by being overwhelmed by activity, but by remembering how good it feels to move after a long period of inactivity.
