It looks like medicinal marijuana isn’t such a new idea after all?

In 1903, the remains of a 25 year old woman were found by Natalia Polosmak, a Russian scientist. This mummy became known as the Ukok Princess. With modern technology, we have been able to learn much more about her life. An MRI has revealed to us that the young woman suffered breast cancer and a bone marrow infection at her time of death. The scientists also believe that she used marijuana to treat the pain.

What if the simple act of doing yoga could heal your diseased heart? 

A new study titled, “Effects of Yoga in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure: A Meta-Analysis,” reveals that this ancient practice, ever-increasing in popularity in the West, has profound benefits to those who are suffering from cardiovascular disease.

Previous to this study, the idea that yoga could heal a diseased heart was considered strictly theoretical, which is what motivated a team of Portuguese researchers to put the concept to the test...

Earlier today, I remarked to a friend of mine that if it’s something you make, you can probably make it out of hemp. I wasn’t thinking airplanes, but as it turns out, Ontario-based company Hempearth has signed a contract with Velocity Inc., a Florida-based plane manufacturer to build the world’s first airplane made of hemp.

Holy awesome!

Derek Kesek, owner of Hempearth, says the plane will be constructed from at least 75% hemp, which includes the wings, seats, pillows, and outer shell. The plane will be the color of natural hemp fiber too, and will in all likeliness run on hemp biofuel...

Fungi have a lot of different uses for humanity. They can clean up the soil and oceans, act as building materials, and you can even be buried in a suit of fungi to break down your body after you die. Creepy!

This mushroom, the “big wood conk” is the world’s longest living mushroom and has been used by native people to address a variety of ailments, like coughing, asthma, arthritis, bleeding and some infections. The Greeks believed that it could treat Tuberculosis and serve as an elixir for a long life.

According to the Cornell University mycology blog:

The key pharmaceutically-active compound found in Fomitopsis officinalis is Agaricin (or agaric acid), a white, water-soluble powder that can be administered both orally and topically. Agaricin is an anhidrotic, anti-inflammatory, and parasympatholytic agent, and is now produced synthetically by many pharmaceutical companies.

Interestingly, the medicinal properties of Fomitopsis officinalis are believed to have been discovered independently by the i...

To truly uplift another does not mean to feed their ego by pumping them up with illusions of grandeur, or to elevate them to a place that separates them from from others. It means to help them connect with their divinity, their authentic power, their truth, when they are forgetting who they really are. When you operate from the highest alignment and divine truth, inclusion, growth, expansion and authenticity are always supported. ~Archangel Gabriel

There will be times where you will see your child, a partner, a sibling or loved one making a decision that you feel is an incorrect one.  You will squirm and fuss, you will question their decision, become angry and attempt to convince them that what they are doing is not right for them in the long run.
Even though it may be painful for you to watch, please remember, it is their path and their existence.  The advice you give them, regardless of how wonderful you feel it is, is just advice.  Take the time to realize that the only thing they need is your love and support.  Each of you was created with an infinite number of options…..give yourself and others the chance to explore them. ~ Creator

Sleeping problems are on the rise in the United States. I know I for one don’t get enough. But did you know that there are 6 superfoods that can help improve your nights sleep? I’m going to have to try some of these!

Almonds

This is one of those foods I eat anyway! Awesome. Almonds help relax your muscles and contain magnesium and tryptophan.

Warm milk

Warm milk contains the amino acid tryptophan, which has a calming effect.

Chamomile Tea

Chamomile has a relaxing effect and helps with any kind of digestive cramp too. It helps calm agitated nerves and can get rid of insomnia.

Honey

Honey helps with anxiety, which can help you sleep if that’s what’s been keeping you up. Sugar helps keep you awake, but honey glucose has the opposite effect...

Sometimes it may seem that life is rigged, that it’s a set up, that you are given the idea that you have free will, yet everything is already in place. Sometimes you feel that life is all destiny and not your free will at all, only you are the last one to know. That’s just it. Free will means free. It doesn’t mean Free Control. This is another way to say that free will doesn’t have to mean getting your way.
 
How do you know what is actually your free will. In the world, you have been indoctrinated, even seemingly hypnotized. Maybe the myth of the Sirens is actually true, and you got swept up and chose your own waywardness, or chose it long ago and forgot. Maybe you are a rebel even to your own present-day causes. Maybe you stole yourself away and chose a disguise the way a spy might.
 
Maybe you don’t really know who you are even on the overt level of life. To be sure, you don’t know the extent of your Vastness in the Heavens. Now I am speaking of yourself as you perceive yourself in the world. Perhaps you are a charlatan, and you have fooled yourself. You may consciously vote one way while you betray yourself and choose situations and events that belie who you thought you were. You weep to have free will freely while you secretly choose what befalls even as it seems to be foisted on you. Maybe you are your own betrayer. Maybe you yourself tethered your free will to cinder blocks.
