Sapodilla or sapota (chikoo) is a popular delicious tropical fruit in line with mango and kiwi. It has now joined the list of fruits that have proven anticancer properties.

Originated in the central American rain forests, probably in Mexico and Belize, today it has spread all over the tropical belt and is being grown as a major commercial crop in India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and Malaysia. The tree is fast growing, wind and drought resistant, and suitable for dry arid regions receiving scanty rains.

Sapota fruit is brown in color with sandy “kiwifruit like” outer surface but without the fuzziness....

HJ: Life happens in the present moment and the present moment is where you will find peace, happiness, joy and contentment.  Living in the past or the future creates frustration, regret and unhappiness as we ignore the abundance and beauty of what we already have.  Being past or future focused keeps us trapped in wishing and wanting instead of having and being.

The present moment brings gratitude and liberation — freedom and tranquility.  It forces us to let go of expectations and appreciate things for what they are.  Most of us are so used to living in the past and future that it takes a little practice to get centered in the present moment, but once you do, it becomes easier and easier until it becomes your permanent state, at which point you are very much closer to that state of enlightenment that we are all driven to seek.

Below you will find a powerful technique, broken up into 5 steps that will help you achieve just that — a life lived in the present moment.

- Truth

You may think you are being true to yourself when you state your opinion. Your opinion is only your opinion. Do you have an oversized opinion of your opinion? When were your opinions worth idolizing?
 
If someone asks you for your opinion, this is another story. Otherwise, what do you think your opinion is worth to another? What is your business to opine on, and what is not? Did someone ask you?
 
What is the value of your opinion and what is the value of expressing it? When in the past have you been sure about matters that have not yet come to pass and you saw did not come to pass whatever you had thought about it? You yourself may have made choices that you deem unwise after the fact. Do you really think you are to offer your unasked opinions to someone now? What do you think you are saving someone from?
 
If someone asks you your opinion, you have been asked, and this is a go ahead. Go ahead. The more you truly value yourself, the less certain of yourself you have to be. Your opinion could be off-base. You could be a false prophet. You could be a detractor. Hello!
 
If you predict against the establishment of a happy marriage, according to the practices in the world, the odds are in your favor, yet the less-favored horse does not always lose, nor does the favored horse always win. If you really know how to predict, you might have won the lottery several times over by now.

Since the Wheat Belly revolution, people all over the world have reported amazing results: being able to reverse type 2 diabetes, shedding layers of dangerous visceral body fat that encases the organs and revving up to super-charged energy levels. But we started to wonder … how does ditching wheat—and all grains for that matter—impact the brain? We turned to William Davis, MD, best-selling author of Wheat B...

HJ: Success does not just happen randomly, it is created by a very precise set of qualities you can cultivate in your life.  When it seems like success just came out of nowhere for somebody, in truth, at some level they had been embracing one or more of the qualities listed in this article AND their system of beliefs allowed for it, which is an important distinction.  And to be even more concise, it is not enough to just believe that something is possible.  You must also not hold any CONFLICTING beliefs as well, as these can ‘cancel out’ any positive, expansive beliefs you may hold and end up keeping you stuck where you are at or moving forward slowly.  this is why many people get frustrated thinking they are doing everything right but nothing is happening.  In truth, they are holding conflicting beliefs as well at a deep subconscious level.

You can think of it like those old scales where there are two plates on each side of a beam balanced on a tower.  One plate is your expansive/positive beliefs.  The other is you self-limiting/negative beliefs.  If your positive plate outw...

Dear Ones, remember that staying in the Now moment and practicing good self care is vital, especially during times when you may be experiencing more intense energy. Give yourself permission to put your comfort first. Stay grounded. Spend time doing what ever feels good and supportive to you. Nurture yourself with foods you feel drawn to. Water is always vital to any energetic shift, so make sure you are drinking plenty to keep yourself well hydrated. Immersing yourself in salt water is incredibly helpful, as well. Remember, times of increased intensity don’t last long, and bring many benefits with them. […]

Imagine; you are a graceful dancer, moving to music written by, and on a stage, created by you.  The choice of style, audience and hall are all your creation.  The tenor, whether joyful or somber, is set by you.  You are the ultimate creative force……..this is what your life is meant to be. ~ Creator

It is not a question that all will be well. All is well right now. You may feel this is not so. You may tremble, yet, across the board, despite your anxiety, all is well now. I speak of Reality and not your perception. Nothing can happen that is dire. You are under My care. Under My care, death cannot touch you. Under My care, there is no death.
 
You may be the most frightened person in the world, and yet fear cannot touch you. You can tremble and shake, yet fear cannot touch you. You can imagine direness, yet nothing can interrupt your life. Life is a continuum. There are no breaks from life.
 
The world says differently. You say differently.
 
You have embarked on a voyage, and there is no going back. You have set sail for this experience of life, and experience you do. You may feel land-locked even as you sail on the Open Sea. What you feel and what are may well be two different things. You make a contrast.
 
Despite your perception, there is no tragedy in life. Death is not a tragedy, nor is life a tragedy. Tragedy exists only in the mind, and the mind is often wayward. The mind has a life of its own. Sometimes your mind is simply blithering. There is much in life and in death that transcends the limits of your mind. Your mind can carry on all it wants, yet that does not make your mind correct in its pronouncements. You can scream and rail about nothing that is true, only true-seeming to you.
 

HJ: Gratitude is one of the most powerful keys to happiness and abundance in your life.  Those who master the practice with authenticity and feeling often discover transformation beyond their wildest dreams.  Combined with inner work, specifically emotional releasing/clearing and the removal of limiting beliefs, you literally become unstoppable.  This triad — healed emotions, expansive beliefs and a solid gratitude practice — is perhaps the most powerful force for positive change in your life.

But of these three things, gratitude has the power to transform the other two.   It creates a powerful feedback loop — helping you to heal emotionally and remove limiting beliefs, replacing them with expansive ones.  As such, your gratitude becomes more authent...
