400 published scientific papers have proven the old adage that “music is medicine.” Neurochemical benefits of music can improve the body’s immune system, reduce anxiety levels and help regulate mood in ways that drugs have difficulty competing.

“We’ve found compelling evidence that musical interventions can play a health care role in settings ranging from operating rooms to family clinics,” says Prof. Levitin of McGill University’s Psychology Department. “But even more importantly, we were able to document the neurochemical mechanisms by which music has an effect in four domains: management of mood, stress, immunity and as an aid to social bonding.”

The Top 8 Cooling Spices for Summer

Guest Writer for Wake Up World

To keep the body cool during the summer months, ancient Indian medicine (Ayurveda) recommends consuming spices that promote cooling. Spices are one of the most potent plant foods in terms of antioxidants and bioactive compounds, and according to Ayruveda’s 5,000 year old food philosophy, there are plenty of everyday spices that can even help cool the body when outside temperatures become unbearable.

Here are the top 8 cooling spices, according to Ayruveda, to include in your diet to feel fresh and comfortable during the summer heat.

1. Organic Mint

Mint is more than just a remedy for bad breath; in fact, this perennial herb is an excellent cooling spice. Picked fresh, mint makes an excellent heat-busting addition to a summer lemonade or fresh fruit salad. Growing mint in the backyard garden is easy to do; however, mint can become invasive, so it’s always best to plant in containers to avoid competition with neighboring plants.

15 Year Old Treats Chrohn’s Disease With Cannabis & Gets His Life Back

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Tue, 08/11/2015 - 08:43

Coltyn Turner, a 15 year old boy who, as a result of his battle with Chrohn’s disease (a severe type of inflammatory bowel disease), was so ill that he had to be confined to a wheelchair, recently testified before the Colorado State Legislature that he’d “rather be illegally alive than legally dead.”

This is because he used cannabis to treat his disease, which is illegal in his home state of Illinois. Simply in order to treat their son with cannabis, his family was forced to re-locate to Colorado.

“He’s a prisoner in the state of Colorado because of medication. Coltyn can’t go, he can’t go back home, he can’t go see his friends, he can’t go see his family, he is stuck in the state of Colorado… He can’t live a normal life in the place where he grew up and the place where he has six generations of family. It’s just tough.” (source)

10 Signs of Spiritual Bypassing and How to Reverse It

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Tue, 08/11/2015 - 08:40

If you haven’t heard the term before, a spiritual bypasser is someone who prematurely jumps to the spiritual side of things in order to avoid dealing with their own unresolved emotions, memories and healing.

A spiritual bypasser is someone who hasn’t done the inner work to make their outside their inside and because of this, that persons spirituality manifests itself only externally preventing internal, personal, and authentic growth — such as unconditional love and tolerance for others.

Bypassers can also be viewed as “fanatics”. These are people who fall in love with the idea of spirituality, or the idea of religion without doing any of the real work themselves.

Families Of 9/11 Victims On Verge Of Proving Government Cover Up In Court

(ANTIMEDIA) For many years, rumors have circulated regarding the U.S. government’s involvement in an active cover-up of a sinister connection between Saudi Arabia and the terrorist attacks of 9/11. In fact, 28 redacted pages from a congressional intelligence report  are said to contain damning information that implicates the Saudis in the 2001 mass murder of American citizens. Despite a bipartisan effort to release the information, the now notorious 28 pages are still being withheld from the public under the predictable guise of “national security.”

Now, thanks to a federal lawsuit in a Manhattan court, there may be a light at the end of the tunnel.

As you connect more and more to who you really are, to your truth and authenticity, you connect with your inner knowingness and require far less contrast to self define. You start to navigate your life with a quiet confidence, always choosing what feels right to you as the qualified expert of your own path. You begin to walk your highest path of self expression because it is led by your own inner spark of divinity and grace. ~Archangel Gabriel

Perseid meteor shower: year's greatest meteor show peaks on August 12 and 13

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Mon, 08/10/2015 - 22:01

The peak of this year's Perseid meteor shower is just around the corner, forecasted during the overnight hours of August 12 and 13 in the absence of any or much moonlight.

Perseids originate in Comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle, which was discovered in 1862 by Lewis Swift and Horace Tuttle. This is a large comet with estimated size of nucleus about 26 km (16 miles).

This is one of the most plentiful showers, with 50 - 100 shooting stars seen per hour, visible from all over the northern hemisphere.

This meteor shower is known for its very fast and bright meteors which leave long wakes of light and color as they streak through the atmosphere. Fireballs, larger explosions of light and color that can persist longer than an average meteor streak, are also associated with this shower and you can expect an increase in fireball events around its peak.

Magnesium – The Missing Link To Better Health?

Submitted by Galactic Free Press on Mon, 08/10/2015 - 18:46

Our body cannot produce magnesium, so we must intake it through food on a daily basis. Studies, however, indicate that we don’t consume it in sufficient amounts.

Magnesium is a mineral that is extremely important for the normal functioning of the human body. It is the fourth most present mineral in the body, and second most present in our cells. About 65% of magnesium in the body is found in the bones, 34% in the soft tissues and 1% in the extracellular fluid. It is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It maintains normal nerve and muscle function, regulates heart rhythm, maintains a healthy immune system and, together with calcium, keeps our bones strong.
