All human beings love eating food, but most of us are unaware of how to eat in a healthy way so we can get the most out of our eating. In fact, the majority of people have forgotten to listen to their body’s wisdom and they have developed habits that are quite detrimental to their health. For this reason, you’ll read here about 3 “food rules” that you should follow if you want to eat well, lose weight, and stay healthy.

1. Eat nutritious food.

In order to be eat well and stay healthy, our body needs to eat real, nutritious food — a “food rule” that most of us don’t seem to follow...

A question that many people ask is, “How do I release old belief systems?” The answer is very simple, Dear Ones. You replace the old one that does not honour you, with a new one that more closely matches who you are today. Let us give you an example.

As a child you may have thought there were monsters under your bed. That belief would have seemed very real to you at the time, and would have been resulted in you feeling very fearful and disempowered.

As you grew older, you gradually realized that there weren’t monsters under your bed after all. You didn’t need elaborate healing ceremonies to release that belief. You didn’t need to do anything at all. You simply replaced the old disempowered belief with one that matched your new level of growth and understanding.

Do you see? Any belief system that you still carry that promotes fear or feeling disempowered in any way is outmoded and ripe for release. Connect with who you are today, examine whether beliefs are a match to your level of growth, empowerment and truth, or whether you are continuing them due to habit and conditioning. Then replace anything that does not honour and support you, with what does. It does not need to be any more complicated than that. ~Archangel Gabriel

In the world we live in, the fostering of mental well-being is often put on the back burner, placing low on our list of priorities, if it makes it there at all. Partly, it is pushed aside because most people are taught from a young age not to show “weakness” in mentality, implicitly teaching us that the expression of emotions beyond a certain range and, in short, openly displaying that you are human, is weak. As a result, many individuals who are suffering mental anguish to an unhealthy degree remain silent out of fear of appearing weak. So, they tell themselves what they are feeling is no big deal and they need to get over it, burying negative thoughts and feelings deep within, where they fester and inevitably impact various areas of a person’s life. Many people who do end up seeking help in improving their mental well-being do so by visiting their primary care physician or a psychiatrist, whose solutions to such ‘problems’ are psychiatric medications with side effects that all too commonly result in a worsening of mental health.

God said:

When a deed is done, do you stew about it, or do you move on? You well know that the thing to do is to move on, yet this is easier said than done.

A wrong was done to you thirty years ago, let’s say, and you may well not have let go of it yet. You may have handcuffed yourself to this old offense, and you keep it warm. It is a slow burn.

Whether it is something wonderful that happened to you once upon a time, and now it is no more, or, if it is a cruel blow that happened, you can’t keep reheating it. If you have a wound, you don’t keep picking at it. You may be absolutely right that what happened to you never should have happened to you. The thing is it did happen, and now you must let it go and move right along. The past is nothing to keep vibrating within you. Let it go.

The way you step out of the ocean on a wonderful summer day, this is the way to step out of the past. You step out just like that. You dry yourself off, and then you go home or perhaps out to eat. Certainly, you don’t keep repeating stepping out of the ocean as though it were a chant or a football replay.

If there is a part of your life that isn’t happy for you to think about, why keep mulling it over? And if there were a very beautiful part of your life and it is no more, why hold onto what is no longer? Why relive it to make yourself sad? Why do you want to be sad?

Back home after an awesome 3 months based in Mexico and the US!

Travel is always so transformative, a kind of world between worlds, a pause between life chapters.

Being in a different environment, and this can happen in trips just days long, gifts you with the opportunity to remove yourself from your usual life. Stripped of much of your daily routine and surrounds, you get to BE anew.

This pause is often the circuit breaker that has people coming home to realise parts of their old life no longer fit, while new pathways and expressions of self beckon.

The accelerated energies of our present times being what they are, our 3 months felt like a year. Creatively, spiritually and physically it feels like we've gone through an inner systems re-boot, and I know many of you are feeling the same way.

The Buddhists tell us that ‘being born as a human is highly unusual.’ It is, they say, a tremendous privilege and a most precious gift, this human life. One of the reasons it is so precious is that within all of us lies the potential for Buddhahood – or enlightenment. That is, the unobscured awareness of the true nature of this reality and this life.

Dharma, or the Buddhist path is a practice of removing the obstacles that cloud our awareness of this true nature. Can we find this path, walk this path – if we are not Buddhist or practitioners of any particular spiritual system?

Yes, it is my understanding and belief that we can find our own Dharma, walk our own path to enlightenment – which means freedom from suffering. And the way to begin is simply to pay attention!

Attention – to what? To life.

A family in Texas, including a four-year old, her parents and her grandfather, were severely burned when their water well ignited into a massive fireball after methane from nearby fracked wells contaminated their water supply, a newly filed lawsuit against EOG Resources and several related companies alleges.

Cody Murray, a 38-year old who previously worked in the oil and gas industry, suffered burns to his face, arms, neck and back that were so severe that he was left permanently disabled, no longer able to drive because the nerve damage has left him unable to grip steering wheels or other objects. Cody’s young daughter, who was over 20 feet away from the pump house when it ignited, suffered first and second degree burns, as did Jim Murray, Cody’s father.
