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.

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)

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.

(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

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.

Angels seem to have become out of fashion on the account of other metaphysical realm entities such as ghouls, nature spirits, ghosts and other non-biological beings getting the majority of the attention. I would like to bring them back on the table.

There is always a choice to be made: whether to describe their realms theoretically or as an experienced metaphysical reality.

Since I said in a recent post: ´We need a lived spirituality´, I will go for the experienced, then into describing the realms,  but first some overall remarks. I basically use free flow consciousness to describe this, and it has its own way of straying.

Often, relating to these metaphysical realms and having different entities in one’s life is a question of seeing them.

BEFRIENDNG YOUR DRAGONS There are several layers of emotions that need to be peeled in order to release the patterns and behaviors associated with deep-seated hurts. The goal is to free yourself from fears, habits and belief codes that no longer serve you and keep you locked away from a life filled with joy and peace. The following are some layers to address in order to change belief codes and heal wounds from past experiences. Forgive your perpetrators.

Know that all persons are operating to the best of their ability, even though they may be choosing things that are not for the highest good for themselves and all concerned. Allow all persons to be who they are, whether or not you are in agreement with their behaviors. Release all judgment of people, places and events. Release any feelings of victimhood. Recognize the blessings in all situations, no matter how horrendous.

Change all negative thoughts aimed at yourself and others. Stop re-telling stories that keep your unresolved issues alive. Face buried fears and emotions and replace them with love. Today’s Message offers one method that will allow you to begin working on problems you are ready to resolve. Like the dragon, you will become empowered, and react more gracefully so you can live a life full of love and harmony.
