Why is it so difficult to heal emotional trauma? Maybe it is because we do not understand what our emotional wounds really are. We tend to think of an emotional wound as the original traumatic experience – as the “thing” that happened to us. But the wound is actually the dis-empowering belief that we developed as a result of the traumatic experience. In order to heal, it is important to uncover the core traumatic beliefs that wound created. 

Despite fluoridated water and countless dental products, tooth decay remains the most common chronic disease among children with approximately 60 % affected. Yet there are cultures today that have impressively healthy teeth and gums, never visit a dentist and hardly ever brush their teeth! How? The following natural options are certainly worth the consideration, especially since scientific studies are proving that they are just as effective as their chemical counterparts.

Challenging the IMF/World Bank's stranglehold over the global financial architecture, a stunning development took place at the 6th BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) Summit in Fortaleza, Brazil last month: the creation of a New Development Bank (NDB) to compete with the World Bank in providing funds for infrastructure development to developing nations, and a Contingency Reserve Arrangement (CRA) to compete with the IMF in providing countries liquidity protection.

Should we talk about science before we even think about what our science is for? That is precisely what we are doing. Even after witnessing total nuclear horror, scientists today still continue with nuclear development, working as hostages to the military, the military to the governments, the governments to the corporations – and the individuals who elect their governments to their own fears. How can we, as citizens for a peaceful world, passively accept such insanity?

A staggering 70% of Americans are taking some sort of prescription medication at this time. As a society, we too heavily rely on medications that mask symptoms, have become desensitized to the FDA’s endless list of possible side effects and, in turn, have diminished not only our health but our comprehension of what we’re actually suffering from (or even consuming). Thankfully, there are a number of other ways.

As seekers of enlightenment, our reward comes in the form of a greater perception. If we distract ourselves with things we know don’t serve our spiritual evolution, we misuse any greater creative opportunities Source could otherwise bestow onto us. We can’t receive the greater power and insight of enlightenment that we aren’t ready or willing to properly integrate and use in our lives. It isn’t given to us just because we ask for it – we have to seek it, and earn it.

My body was paralyzed. I could not move even a finger or open my mouth or eyes. I had lost saliva and was only able to breathe through my nose. I had been stung by scorpions, with more than enough venom to kill me. I am unable to convey the feeling of Peyote's ecstasy mixed with the agony of the scorpion venom – two opposite forces experienced at their peak and at the same time in my body. But I knew that as long as Peyote was active in me, I would be able to fight for my life. 

When contemplating the nature of our relationships, it helps to take a deeper look into the nature of the archetypes Mars and Venus in our astrological natal charts. As a mirror to our inner world, these universal symbols can reveal a great deal of information about our relationships to ourselves and others, as well as the karmic patterns that we create and recreate within those relationships. 

Your respiratory system is constantly working. It is the vehicle for oxygen to enter your body. Unfortunately, it can also be an entry point for pollutants, irritants, dust, mould, fungus, harmful organisms, and other toxins. Fortunately, nature has provided a number of herbs and botanicals that provide deep nutrition for the respiratory system.
