Americans have been warned for years about the dangers of eating too much fat or salt, but the media has been relatively silent about sugar, in spite of the country’s rising rates of obesity and failing health.

Copious research have been published about the many ways excess sugar can damage your health, yet industry continues to defend it—science be damned.

They want you to continue believing the outdated myth that saturated fat is to blame, instead of sugar. Nevertheless, the wheels of progress continue to turn.

An influential group of medical researchers has been relentless in spreading the word about the strong associations between sugar consumption and the rising rates of obesity and major diseases, such as cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s.

BE IN JOY!  Enjoy!   Are you ready to embark on a journey towards everlasting joy? Take several long breaths. As you exhale, let out the worries of the day. Consciously pay attention to each muscle in your body, starting at the top of your head. Note the muscles in your jaws, tighten them for a second and then allow them to relax. Move down to the shoulders, arms, fingers, etc. tightening then relaxing each set of muscles, down to your toes. Breathe in as you tighten the muscles; breathe out as you relax the muscles. This is a good exercise to practice whenever you find yourself out of balance or wish to relax or meditate.

How do you find balance in all things? How can you stay centered no matter what event is occurring in your life? How can you find and experience joy even in times of extreme chaos? Start by simply telling yourself it is so, that you are balanced in this moment. That may seem overly simplistic, but it is the bottom line. With practice, it will become easier until it becomes second nature. Where to begin? In this moment.

Joy and laughter are high vibrating energies that shift you into a higher vibrational space which allows for healing, release and the transmuting of lower vibrational energies. This is why we urge you to start to become joy detectives!

Look for the things that bring you joy in your life. If you aren’t quite sure, become a joy detective and discover what does. As you begin to place your focus on finding joy, you will begin to find it, and will start infusing your life with laugher and delight.

As you start to spend more and more time in laughter and delight, you will be shifting not only your own energy, you will be supporting the energy of your environment, the grids, and the planet. You will be consciously setting your internal GPS to the discovery of even more joy in your life and creating endless new possibilities and potentials for your future, as well.

Make no mistake about it. Laughter is a profound and multi-faceted healing tool for your past, present and future. ~Archangel Gabriel

Before you arrived, each of you agreed to the things you would learn and the length of time you would be on your Earth plane.  Occasionally, the experience of linear time makes the challenging drag on ‘forever’ and the happy seem too short.  Regardless of how you are moving through them, please remember these moments are the reason you chose to be here now.
The true beauty of the situation is this; you never have to experience any of it ever again unless you want to and, in the grand scheme of things, your life happens in just a blink of the Universal eye.  Make the most of it! ~ Creator

Love is the most powerful energy in the Universe. It reaches beyond our physical reality. It has flow and frequency. Love is the continual energy that flows throughout all life, with the power to heal, restore, and rejuvenate. When we increase the loving energy we send out to the world, everything positive in our lives increases – our wealth, our health, our wisdom and our connections to others.

It is important to consciously let love flow in our lives even when we feel pain, disappointment and frustration, for all these things come from a place of fear. These emotions can easily evolve into hatred, bitterness, jealousy and despair. By loving, in addition to accepting ourselves and others, we immediately begin to open our heart and raise our love vibration. This allows love to flow in our lives. It is simple. When we increase its flow in our lives, the increase in positive energy gives us access to our creativity, wisdom and inner guidance. This increase also allows us to view life’s challenges from a different perspective. With the perspective of love, we can detach from the situation allowing us to ride out the rest of the storm from a smoother vantage point.

God said:

Perhaps you are over-conscientious. Could it be that there is something in you that wants to give more and more and more to be in the image of a giver? You have to remember that you personally are not needed. You have felt you are needed. Who is needed? I AM.

Be careful that you do not aggrandize your position in life. You are worth a lot. You are worth gold, yet you do not decrease your own value in order to serve others and increase their perceived value.

Never do I want you to diminish yourself. This is not humility. Sometimes you overstate your value by giving too much of yourself away. Do you understand Me?

You are needed and welcome, yet you are not needed by everyone. You also need yourself and your life. You exist for the good of yourself as well as for the good of others. You are not to erase yourself. Humility does not mean ignoring yourself and your needs to the degree that you may. Giving too much leaves you in an awkward place. I do not ask you to be down on your knees to anyone. You cannot wash everyone’s floors. If you tried, you wouldn’t be able to wash your own floor. You know I am speaking of what may be your over-giving. Over-giving isn’t good for you or for the others. Over-giving is not to be your ideal. No one really likes you to over-give. It may be a burden on them.

HJ: The past and the future are illusions. Everything exists in an ever-evolving, ever-shifting present moment and the more you can align your life and awareness with that fact, the better it will get.

Choosing This Moment

By Manal Ghosain | One With Now

“Whatever the present moment contains, accept it as if you had chosen it.” ~Eckhart Tolle

Imagine if you went about your day experiencing each moment as if you’d chosen it—good or bad, wanted or unwanted, fun or painful. What would happen? How would your life be any different?

Let’s keep this thought in mind as we look into what we normally do.

We mostly live in anticipation of what we want, or in fear of what we don’t want. We either look forward to something, or want to avoid something at all costs.

So we spend the present moment living in the future. Or we go back to the past and reminisce about what was, or wallow in regret.

The truth is only toxic to some. Namely those it exposes. It sure can knock just about anyone for a loop, but it shouldn’t be discouraging.

I’m seeing somewhat desperate reactions more and more lately via comments, correspondence and internet postings and it’s a concern worth addressing. People really do need to get a handle on what’s going on both externally and even more importantly internally. This has been addressed many times and we’ve been warning this challenge was coming and going to continue to grow, so now it’s time to put what we know to be true into action.

It’s not a time to withdraw, whatever we do. We have to face this head on and not pull back into a bunker mentality, although wise personal preparations are certainly in order. I agree it’s lousy “out there” and it gets all of us down at times, but we can’t stay there. The longer we do the more it envelops and disempowers us.

The idea of a world view has two inherent meanings. First it is a personal view of how the world is or should be, and secondly it is a view that is shared or consented to by others not just ourselves. So a world view is both how we personally see the world but at the same time it is something that is based on consensual reality – there is a social dimension to it. In fact, most of what we call world views are not created by any one person but rather a person chooses to adopt a world view that was already supported by others in society. Perhaps this is because he or she feels emotionally inclined to do so or since it fits comfortably with his/her own existing set of beliefs. Allegiance and support for one political party or ideology is a clear example of this since the individual chooses a political view that fits in with his own ‘moral’ beliefs and values.
