A common question about the recent wave of psychedelic research is, “how do these mind-altering substances work in the brain to produce a rapid reduction of symptoms and long-lasting improvements for a variety of mental health disorders?” Beyond some scientifically well-founded hypotheses and pure speculation, we haven’t had enough experimental evidence on psychedelics to draw from to make any large claims about the mechanisms responsible for therapeutic response. MDMA and psilocybin, both showing promising results in clinical trials, are two very different drugs, in terms of how they make people feel and how they act in the brain. Is it possible there is a common mechanism in the brain underlying the therapeutic effects of all psychedelics? New findings published by Ly et al. in the […] Read More

1. Every moment is fleeting. Nobody is keeping a detailed list of your most embarrassing mistakes or the most trivial of missteps. Nobody will remember the worst things you’ve said or the trembling of your hands when you said them. On the other hand, you won’t fully enjoy the good, simple, and magical moments of today if your mind is always on the hypothetical fearful events of the future or how others evaluate your worth based on what you have failed to do. 2. The more you exert your own willpower to pursue the external measures of someone else’s definition of success, the more you will be pushed back to where you started. The more you chase things out of lack, the more resistance you will face […] Read More
Anxiety — that feeling of dread, fear, worry and panic — is certainly nothing new. Hippocrates wrote about it in the fourth century BCE. As did Søren Kierkegaard in the 1860s. And Sigmund Freud addressed the disorder in 1926. However, jump to the present and we’re seeing a significant uptick — especially with youth. Pharmaceutical drugs tend to be the classic treatment for treating anxiety (as well as the biggest money maker). Cognitive therapy is a common approach as well. Those with a holistic bent often turn to meditation, yoga, massage and other relaxation techniques. Music therapy has also been used with some success. But now neuroscientists in the U.K. have zeroed in on a single song that results in a dramatic 65 percent reduction […] Read More
One of the most common issues today is the Fibromyalgia, and it is affecting from 3 to 5 million people, or to be more precise, 1 in every 5 people are dealing with it. This is a syndrome that is followed by debilitating pain in the whole body. Besides that, if you are having chronic muscle pain, that doesn’t mean you are dealing with fibromyalgia, because this issue has other symptoms too. However, if you are constantly dealing with muscle pain, you need to take a look at the list of symptoms of this issue below, and see if you have some of the other symptoms. In that case you will need to find a treatment or simply visit a specialist. Symptoms of Fibromyalgia: Digestion […] Read More
Our thoughts are powerful. So powerful in fact that often just thinking about someone can send a small stream of energy their way. We are all energetic beings and we all have energy that flows from within and around us. When we start to become aware of this energy and its potential, we can use it to send healing, good thoughts and wishes to people we care about all over the world. We all have the ability to do this as long as we are open and confident in who we want to send loving, healing energy to. Here is how to send distant healing energy to another person, animal or plant: 1. Set Up Your Space Find a quiet place where you won’t be […] Read More
NaturalNewsBlogs| Parasites are organisms that depend on a host for survival. Parasites can have one of three relationships with their host. First there’s mutualism where both the host and the parasite benefit from the relationship. The mutualistic relationship is demonstrated in the vagina where lactobacilli are provided with a warm environment and nutrition in exchange for production of lactic acid, which protects the vagina from overproduction of yeast and colonization of other potentially harmful microbes. The second type of relationship is known as commensalism where there is no apparent harm to the host’s health. For example, there are certain types of staph present on skin that do not cause any harm to health, but are responsible for various body odors. The third type of relationship, […] Read More
Vibrating energy is what makes up the existence of everything in life and is commonly referred to as waves of energy flowing through the universe. Everyone gives out certain vibrational frequencies, which is what attracts the many events that occur in your day-to-day life. Psychic vampires have learned to give out and control these frequencies which allow them to remain in the form they are in. Energy comes in many different colors and forms and every emotion that is created gives out a specific type of energy that differentiates itself from the other types created. Let’s talk about energy that is created by positive actions. For instance, creating a positive emotion in someone by doing something nice for the person is a way to get […] Read More
The way you breathe is the way you live. Breathing is absolutely essential to life, but it’s often overlooked as a necessity for good health. Full, free breathing is one of the most powerful keys to enhancing physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. Breathing fully and freely is our birthright. If you watch a baby breathe, you will see the beauty and simplicity of flow in the body. With each inhale, the baby’s belly fills with air like a balloon, the pelvis rocks, the legs open, the chest rises and then falls, like swells across the ocean. This is natural, oceanic full-body breathing. It is the way we were meant to breathe. Breathing effortlessly, a baby lives fully and freely in the now, in the expansiveness […] Read More
The Move that Changed the Health and Wellbeing Industry I am now 68 and over the years I have relied upon alternative medical solutions for almost all my health problems. A change in diet, herbs, vitamins, minerals and lots of exercise ended up being almost all the medicine I ever needed! In 2010, when I was 61, I cured myself of arthritis with vitamins and minerals alone. I had suffered since I was in my 20s. My doctors said arthritis was not curable, but Western medicine was wrong about arthritis. After that simple cure, I quit suffering, became skeptical, and started to research the history of medicine in North America. What I discovered is astonishing! From a young age, I was fascinated by medical technology. […] Read More
People who use aromatherapy know that essential oils are an important part because they improve our mood and brain function. Also, these oils purify the air, give off a beautiful smell, and breathing in their vapors provides great health benefits. Spreading out essential oils makes you inhale their molecules, and the nerves send signals to the brain to stimulate specific systems in the body. The nerves that send signals are located in the nasal cavity, so breathing in the essential oils is the best way to gain their benefits. Below we offer you a list of reasons why you should use essential oils in your home. 1. They Purify the Air When you use essential oils in your home, you purify the air because they […] Read More
