Huh. That’s something else. Archaeologists working in the Hindu Kush mountain range have unearthed 120,000 year old evidence that early man used cannabis. The team from Quad-i-Azam University in Pakistan discovered the cave, which contained Indica seeds and various other objects.

They also discovered resin inside of a jar, indicating that these people may not have been too different from us. We like hotboxing cars or small rooms, and they were all about hot boxing their caves apparently.

This is the oldest known instance of humans using cannabis to get high, but hemp has been used for thousands of years. Archaeologists have discover...

It’s something that’s always confused me a little bit. Every time I visit someone in the hospital, it seems like they’re being served the Standard American Diet (SAD) instead of good, healthy food. It was Hippocrates who said “let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food,” and we couldn’t agree more.

We’ve written before about the clear benefits of organic produce and why it’s so important to avoid pesticides, and one hospital in Pennsylvania is on board with helping cure folks with good, organic food.

St. Luke’s University Health Network has launched a farm to hospital program. St. Luke’s has 300 acres of farm land, which historically was used for mon...

One of the old, out-moded habits human beings most like to cling to is worrying. Worrying is like quicksand. It is very much immersing yourself in the energies of what you do not want. For every time you worry, you sink yourself a little deeper into the quicksand of the unwanted. We understand that you see worrying as being prudent, as making sure you are not unpleasantly surprised, as being prepared, just in case. But sadly, by choosing to stay steeped in the energy of what you do not want, you only ensure more of that very energy in your […]

Learning how to meditate is the most important thing that we can do while we are alive. It is our greatest asset on the road to self-realization, inner peace, personal and spiritual mastery, and embodying our highest potential. As a great Indian Sage once said, “That is real which never changes.” By learning how to meditate, we learn how to access this never-changing, infinite, and eternal aspect to who we are.

In this guide on how to meditate I will answer all of the basic questions of how to meditate, what meditation is, why it’s important, the benefits of meditation, and a basic exploration of the process itself (what we are doing when we meditate). This is the absolute basics of how to meditate, so if you need a more detailed and comp...

What you have been searching for all your lives is the love in your own heart. You have veered a little off course. You thought it was love from others you were seeking. You thought you needed the world to love you when, all the while, it was your own love that you were seeking so desperately.

What standards of love do you impose upon yourself? You are good enough for Me. Cannot you be good enough for yourself? No longer find yourself wanting. You don’t have to be other than you are. You are My beloved right now. It doesn’t matter what you look like. It doesn’t matter how perfect or imperfect you are. It matters that you love yourself. Love yourself regardless, and then you will be able to love others regardless.

You are not born to Earth to find fault. You are here on Earth to engender love. That’s it. Life without giving love is a dry desert. Let your love be like living under the sun, and you are like the morning dew. It is for you to be the pause that refreshes. Be you the giver of My love.

If you are a bus driver, know you are more than one who drives a bus. You welcome everyone who boards the bus you drive, and you bless everyone who gets off. This is in the job description I give you. You open your heart so that others may open their hearts. You are personable, yet you are impersonal in your love. It is My love that you give. It is My love in your heart. That is the love that is yours to share. You are twice-blessed.

What did you think you were on Earth for? To amass or to give?

It appears things change more than we think – way more, and in more ways. Even when we’re aware of the underlying reality of constant change, we reference new changes by our memory and perception of old changes. And those were based on previous reference points.

We seem to often judge change by points of previous attachment, even though they continually shift. That cannot be very accurate no matter how real they were at the time. Things have shifted. And will continue to do so.

While assessing a particular situation, as my mind wandered backward to find context, I was surprised to re...

“The dream is a little hidden door in the innermost and most secret recesses of the soul, opening into that cosmic night which was psyche long before there was any ego- consciousness, and which will remain psyche no matter how far our ego-consciousness extends.” ~ Carl Jung

Dreams give us an opportunity to look into our subconscious mind and may allow for a deeper understanding of personal psychological transformation during waking life. Much of the scientific study about the interpretation of the messages that we are given in our dreams has been based on the work of Carl Jung, a well-respected psychologist and psychiatrist, who believed that dreams are filled with symbols that stem from the unconscious.

Interpreting your ...

There will always be people who have misconceptions about you.  Please keep in mind that each one of you have had your thoughts and feelings colored by your experiences.  It is not ‘good’ or ‘bad’, it just is.  The only time it becomes an issue is when you let another’s misconceptions dictate how you choose to live.  Allow yourself the time to realize that, regardless of what others think of you, you are and have always been exactly who you need to be in any given moment.  And that, my beautiful child, is enough. ~ Creator

HJ: We exist on multiple planes: the physical, the mental and the etheric/spiritual — and it is this third realm in which the Chakras become very important.  Although, they do affect the the mental and physical planes as well.  That is because the Chakras are ‘fundamental’ — since all originates from the etheric/spiritual planes, an imbalance in the chakras will automatically have effects on the physical and mental planes as well.

This can show up as imbalance or tendencies in the body and mind such as disease, depression and so on in the negative and happiness, health, peace of mind and centeredness in the positive.  And when highly developed, can result in the opening up of higher psychic abilities.

The guide below will give you some powerful tools to begin working with, balancing and healing your energy centers, also known as chakras.
