Life is a like a tree with leaves. The angle from which you look at the leaves makes a difference. The way the sunlight falls on the leaves makes a difference. The time of day. The mood you’re in. Trees are multi-dimensioned.

When you climb a tree and look at each leaf with a microscope, you will have microscopic view of leaves. This is what you may often do with your personal life. It is not always to your advantage to view your life as intently as you do. It could make you nearsighted.

Life is to be lived, not examined under a microscope, nor is life to be pushed aside or swept under the carpet or overlooked altogether.

I hesitate to say that life doesn’t need an inspection at all. Insights can arise spontaneously. If I say you will do well to take a long view of life, you may interpret that as just taking a glance, or you may interpret a long view as holding on to the past.

Let the past go and enter the present. You don’t shuffle life along, nor do you race through it. Take the position that life is what it is and that it is also what you make of it. Don’t make too much of life. Well, don’t be in the position of not seeing the forest for the trees.

Tears Along The Way

O my God, what irony it is

That we are at the bottom of hell,

And yet are afraid of immortality.

Introduction

Recently I had a conversation with a colleague about why there isn’t much offered in the spiritual literature...

Sometimes, when the darkness comes to call, the last thing you will want to do is look at, work on and move through it.  You will dodge and do anything possible to get away from the pain and anguish.  Those are the exact moments when The Universe is asking you to be the brave and advanced soul you truly are.  Yes, it will be challenging.  Yes, it will test every fiber of your being, but it is what you came to do.  Do not be afraid, my love, I am with you and there will always be light on the other side. ~ Creator

There are 7 energy centers or chakras in the body that help to align us and keep our body, mind and spirit balanced.

When our chakras are out of balance we can become susceptible to physical, mental and spiritual dis-eases however, this can often be cleared with some energy work or herbs.

Herbs have been used for healing since the beginning of time and carry a powerful vibration that connect us back to the earth and our source energy.

Using herbs to help stimulate or heal your chakras is particularly beneficial, as herbs are able to touch us on an energetic level as well as a physical level to clear out psychic debris and increase oxygen and detoxification pathways.

Healing the Chakras:

Root Chakra: This chakra is responsible for making us feel grounded both emotionally and physically.

Dear Ones, if you would simply replace the words “have to” with “get to” when thinking of your daily chores, you would instantly shift yourself from resistance and resentment to a deep appreciation of your current reality. It is such an easy tool to shift your focus and return to a satisfying flow for your day. ~Archangel Gabriel

Have you ever heard about Epigenetic gene control?

It literally means for one to be ‘Above genetics’, which could be fractaled down to being in control or “above” your thoughts, actions and in turn, your DNA.

There are these interesting little tags in the DNA structures called Epigenetic genes. These genes are responsible for everything we have/are/and will experience in our lives, a big something I like to refer to as Gene Alchemy.

Being ‘above’ something is for one to be able to see the pattern in what ever it is one is wanting to change/master. Seeing it from the outside looking in, or vice versa.

I feel there is grand importance in learning how we create our own reality and lives; how our thoughts and the food/chemicals we take into our body impact our life styles and Neural programming in ways that  trickle down to our Grandchildren’s future, and even on from there.

He’s been the head of the Council for Responsible Genetics for more than 30 years, and he is no fan of GMOs. Sheldon Krimsky writes extensively on the fraud that has been committed against an unsuspecting public when it comes to GMOs with his book of essays titled, “The GMO Deception.”

Among his many critiques of the biotech’s poison crops, he states that one negative finding regarding risks of GMOs weighs ten times more than any positive study since most of the studies ‘proving GMO safety’ are funded by the industry itself. The professor of Tufts University states that he isn’t FOR or AGAINST GMOs, but thinks that the agricultural industry has been negligent in telling the truth about the way they create our food. GMO Deception is just the latest of 13 other books about science, food, and society.
