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

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.

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
People who use aromatherapy know that essential oils are an important part because they improve our mood and brain function.

As the incidence of kidney problems has soared to epidemic levels over the last ten years, the need for a strong, dedicated formula for doing a regular kidney detox has become paramount. Even though a number of herbs (chanca piedra, juniper berry, uva ursi, parsley root, dandelion root, and horsetail) are common to both kidney and liver maintenance, a few additional ingredients are necessary for long-term kidney health. Such a kidney detox formula should also play a major role in eliminating gallstones and, amazingly, even helping with arthritis.

The world of medicine is changing and with it, the way we are going to be diagnosing people’s conditions. The first step toward helping ourselves and our children recover from disease and reaching our highest states of health is getting a clear diagnosis you can trust when we get sick. A few months ago, I developed a video course about the basic ways everyone can see themselves, not in terms of conceptual diagnosis but the actual physiological processes that underlie all diseases. It is one thing to give a disease a name, i.e. Cancer or Alzheimer’s and thousands of other official diagnostic labels and another thing to look at each person’s breathing rate, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, oxidative stress levels, body temperature, pH levels […] Read More
