“Don’t own so much clutter that you will be relieved to see your house catch fire.” ~ Wendell Berry

You know what I recently noticed? That I am no longer attached to material things like I used to be.

There was a time when, because I was attached to every little thing that I possessed, I would get so mad whenever someone would take my things, use t...

The act of surrender ensures you are moving with whatever energies you are experiencing as efficiently as possible. If you are not in a time of tangible movement, surrender will keep you out of resistance and ready to go the moment the energies support movement. If you are in a period of accelerated flow, surrender helps you move with those energies and emerge much less battered and worn than if you were in resistance the entire time. You might think of surrender as being the grease that allows you to move with the flow, whatever it is doing, with far […]

Evidence continues to emerge, both scientific and historical, suggesting that the way in which the majority of us currently sleep may not actually be good for us.

In 2001, historian Roger Ekirch of Virginia Tech published a paper that included over 15 years of research. It revealed an overwhelming amount of historical evidence that humans used to in fact sleep in two different chunks. (1)

In 2005, he published a book titled “At Day’s Close: Night in Times Past,” that included more than ...

Balancing the old world and the new, the Kuna people keep their heritage intact

Jesús Smith is sitting at his old wooden desk facing the entrance to his house. He’s hunched over, shirtless, and wearing his chunky reading glasses while writing copious notes by hand — a favorite pastime. When he sees the profile of one of his students, Julio, walking past his doorway, he yells, “Hey! I’ll see you in class tomorrow!”

At 85 years old, Don Jesús is finally realizing one of his lifelong dreams: to formally teach Kuna, also known as Guna*, traditions to the next generation of boys and girls. Every week, he illustrates and jots down definitions of dozens of artifacts, plants, and customs that have bee...

A BUN DANCE Do you want an abundant life filled with joy, happiness and all the creature comforts? Well, let’s make it happen! Here’s how it works. First step is to believe that you can have whatever you want. Second step is to identify what you want. You can be general in wanting things such as good health, wealth, loving relationships and joy.

Then you can choose specific things such as a new car, lover, dream vacation or health cure for a loved one. Third step is to begin the visualization process of how to get these things to materialize for you. First, clearly intend what you want by making a written list, making an oral statement to others or your Spirit Helpers, creating a vision board, joining others in a prayer circle, etc.

Next, visualize what you want, using all your physical senses. The fourth step is to set the creation process into motion. There are myriads of Angels and Beings on the “Other Side” that are happy to serve you and provide your dreams for you. But, you must ask and really desire what you want.

They will lead you to your goals, however, you must notice the steps. Your fear and disbelief can instantly shut off the quickest route. Through diligent paying attention to coincidences and synchronicities, you will reach your goal. The fifth step of “a bun dance” is motion.

The Powerful Self

Would you rather feel powerful or be powerful?

By Steven Stosny, Ph.D. | Psychology Today

–

To function at their highest level with maximum well being over time, people need to feel both empowered and valuable. Most of my posts over the past three years have been about value, specifically what happens when we fail to create it or when we violate the values we create. This post is about personal power....

The one thing all these foods have in common is that you should be eating them anyway, but if you’ve been especially hard on your body, it might be time to add some of these to your diet. Your liver works hard, day in and day out, to clean our blood of the nasty-business we sometimes put into our bodies. It’s a natural detoxification system, but sometimes, even your filters need a cleaning.

A majority of these foods have glutathione, which is a protein that helps clean your body of toxic junk. In general, do your best to eat these foods raw.

1. Brussels Sprouts: Did you hate eating these as a kid? Well buck up, cause they’re good for you and you should eat a serving or two a day.
2. Garlic: Do you have any garlic in the house? Add some wh...

Know how beautiful you truly are, and you will know happiness every day of your life. Any dissatisfaction you have in life is based on your appraisal of yourself. Yes, matters in the world take place and irritate, yet your irritation is with yourself and not so much with life and others as you like to believe. You are quick to pounce on someone or something else as the source of your irritation when someone or something else reminds you of your own mis-perceived inadequacy.
 
Something or another in the relative world is awry at one time or another, no doubt about that. Someone or something will offend you or drive you to distraction. Nevertheless, if you were not so hard on yourself, you wouldn’t take life as seriously as you do. You would not take it seriously at all.
 
You have a wounded picture of yourself. When someone else makes a mistake, their mistake is like salt on your wound. With your irritation with others, you are really saying:
 
“Don’t remind me ever again, not even once more, of my human frailty. For this reason, I pounce on you and can’t tolerate your inability to be perfect. I cannot tolerate my own errors, and, therefore, I absolutely can’t tolerate yours. I cannot tolerate anyone’s errors. It is automatic for me to want perfection from you, and I respond automatically when you reveal any dimension of imperfection. The more imperfect I perceive myself, the angrier I become with you. I like to believe that it is you who causes me grief when I am the cause, the one and only.
 

A Mexican judge in the state of Yucatan has recalled a permit from Monsanto, the biotech giant, forbidding the company from planting Roundup-ready GMO soybeans. His decision was based on scientific evidence that lead GMO soybeans to declines in be populations.

As The Guardian reports, the permit originally allowed Monsanto to plant 625,000 acres of GMO soybeans in seven states. Local Mayan farmers and beekeepers protested in the thousands against the move, but were largely ignored. Which is ridiculous when you consider that honeybees are crucial to the Mexican economy, where 25,000 families depend on honey production for income.

The Mexican government was accused of not taking the issue seriously and that there was a conflict of interest. More cases...
