A study published by Mayo Clinic found that almost 70% of Americans are on at least one pharmaceutical; antibiotics top the list, followed by antidepressants, and opioid pain killers. This is a problem in of itself, as it the United States has transformed into a pill-popping, medication-dependent nation. What’s worse is that antibiotics in particular are doled out in copious, unnecessary amounts, so much so that bacteria are developing major resistance to this ...

Is the same thing that’s destroying the bees also crippling our farmers?

When Ginnie Peters’ farmer husband took his own life after a sudden mood shift, she really hit the nail on the head when she said:

These chemicals that farmers use, look what they do to an insect. It ruins their nervous system. What is it doing to the farmer?

No one can deny that farming is drastically different than it was in the 1950s, and today it requires extra demand, complete expertise and the stress of uncertainty. Most farmers don’t go into it for high profits.

The EPA, however, has long denied that the pesticide exposure they experience is directly tied to psychological sy...

Some people have a tendency to rush things when they enter into a new relationship. They do so because they are anxious to assure themselves the relationship will be everything they want it to be. Ironically, the way to ensure a relationship becomes everything you want it to be is to give it the time and the space it needs to create its own foundation and define itself. To do so will allow it to expand and grow and become its full potential. Just as you cannot rush the growth of a new sprout breaking ground, you cannot rush a relationship into its highest potential. Humans are often so driven to hurry up and “get there”, not understanding that they are already “there” because the magic is in the unfoldment of things, one delicious fully present moment at a time. ~Archangel Gabriel

THE SHADOWS WITHIN   In this world, it is your interactions with others that allows you to have a human experience. Think on this for a moment. What if there were no other people on Earth? How would you be able to experience forgiveness, sharing or any multitude of events? The world would be a lonely place.

If you believe in the premise that man was placed on this Earth to experience its bounty and to share with one another, then how far is it for you to stretch your mind that perhaps this world is also a place to experience the “negative” side, as well?

Currently, you live in a world of separation. There is so much judgment placed on insignificant things such as body design, race, religion, job choice, etc. that you have created walls around yourselves to keep the “wolves” out. Yet, with each condemning thought you think and word you utter, you push the wolves away and judge them with the same words you use against others.

Looking at the shadow self is not an easy task. We understand this. We also know that hiding in a castle with walls and a moat filled with alligators can be very lonely. It is you that built those walls and moat and it is you who can tear them down and let love shine within.

Seek guidance from your Angels and from those whom you know who have overcome obstacles in their lives. There are many paths you can take. Having assistance from those who have been where you are can be of tremendous value to you.

HJ: Inner wisdom and strength are your guides down the twisting and turning path of life.  The more you cultivate these skills, the better your life will become.  However, quality guidance in this area is sparse at best.  Below you will find an article by Rick Hanson based on a lifetime of experience and study that is filled with gems and wisdom to help you grow and expand in this area.
