Jamye Price ~ Weekly LightBlast - Allowing the New

By: Jamye Price, 12/19/2013

What are the clues of this solstice for you?  Half of the world is experiencing the darkest night, the other half the brightest day – yet both are teeming with Love!  You have passed through the gauntlet of 2013, some bruised, some emblazoned; yet all are transformed, as is the nature of time.  In many ways 2013 called for you to look inward and backward, as the future was awaiting your newly fortified choice.

 

The solstice is a time marker.  It is a reminder to celebrate change, for each season has its valuable gift to Life.  It signals the New, it heralds time moving and shows you where your best effort creates.  Your best effort is your internal ease with what is.  From this place of peace, your inspiration flows to action pertinent to the time.  Allow the season of this solstice to speak to your heart of how the rejuvenation of the dark night or the play of the bright day serves you.  Allow the new season to flavor your life.

 

Is your smartphone keeping you awake at night?

(NaturalNews) If you have trouble falling asleep - or staying asleep - you can stop attributing it to stress, caffeine or a Type A personality. Your smart phone may be the culprit, by robbing you of your natural sleep-inducing hormone, melatonin. We've always known that exposure to a light source is bad for sleep. Cavemen knew it, babies know it and even plants need the lights turned off periodically. But shining a bright LCD light directly into your eyes with a cellphone, laptop or tablet just before bedtime sends your brain the "wakey, wakey" message.

California doctors revolt against Obamacare; 70 percent say they will boycott

An estimated seven out of every 10 physicians in deep-blue California are rebelling against the state's Obamacare health insurance exchange and won't participate, the head of the state's largest medical association said. "It doesn't surprise me that there's a high rate of nonparticipation," said Dr. Richard Thorp, president of the California Medical Association.

 

Thorp has been practicing primary care medicine for nearly four decades in a small town 90 minutes north of Sacramento. The group he heads up represents about one-third - 38,000 - of the roughly 104,000 doctors in the state. "We need some recognition that we're doing a service to the community. But we can't do it for free. And we can't do it at a loss. No other business would do that," he said.

Aisha North ~ A short update on the energies

By: Aisha North, 12/18/2013

As these energies keep burrowing deeper and deeper into your very being, you may feel yourself at a loss to explain what is going on, but you will literally feel it in your very bones that something deeply transformative is indeed going down now. For you are changing dear ones, beyond recognition, for as you open yourself fully up to this influx of light, you will be as newborn again when this whole process is over and done with. Yes, there is indeed an end to this transformation process, and even if that end may seem far, far off at the moment, know that there will come a day in the not too distant future when you will draw a deep breath and just know that “this is it, now I am the one I came here to be”. And then, you will finally be able to look back over your shoulder and contemplate the whole arduous journey you have taken to get you to that final and full version of you.

 

Ten Reasons To Buy Local Food

Food grown in your own community is usually picked within the past day or two. It’s crisp, sweet, and loaded with flavor. Produce flown or trucked in from Florida, Chile, Mexico, or Holland is, quite understandably, much older. Several studies have shown that the average distance food travels from farm to plate is 1,500 miles. In a weeklong delay from harvest to dinner plate, sugars turn to starches, plant cells shrink, and produce loses its vitality. Studies showed that fresh produce loses nutrients quickly. Locally grown food, purchased soon after harvest, retains its nutrients.

Following Big Oil's narrow victory over a grassroots initiative designed to block the construction of a tar sands export terminal, residents of South Portland, Maine are attempting to overrule that vote with a bid to outlaw the flow and processing of tar sands within city borders. On Wednesday evening, members of the South Portland City Council voted unanimously to create a Draft Ordinance Committee with the explicit purpose of creating a new land-use rule to "prevent the flow and processing of unrefined tar sands in South Portland,” local media reports. “It’s very pleasing to see all of us this evening take a stand that we do not want tar sands in our community and that we will not let it happen,” said Councilor Tom Blake.

How Big Pharma Markets to and Profits from a 'Can't-Pay-Attention Nation'

Common Dreams, By: Jon Queally, 12/16/2013

What came first: the disorder, the cure, or the marketing campaign to sell both? In the case of medicating a generation of children who were said to be "unusually hyperactive," the answer to that question is addressed by an in-depth investigation by the New York Times on Monday showing that the meteoric rise of diagnoses of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (A.D.H.D.)—a trend that spawned a pharmaceutical gold rush over the last twenty years—was, in fact, fueled by an industry-led marketing campaign that targeted struggling children, worried parents, and an army of doctors willing to diagnose and prescribe. And what's worse? The deep-pocketed, pill-pushers are now looking to expand.

Fucoidan ocean 263x164 100s of Studies Prove this One Plant Compound Kills Cancer, Protects Against Radiation

For years scientists couldn’t really figure out why people on a small island off of Japan hardly ever suffered from cancer – until they stumbled onto a curious fetish the Okinawans had for a seaweed delicacy called Kombu. (Okinawans use various longevity secrets to live to be 100 and older). Although it would be difficult to find Kombu now that isn’t tainted with Fukushima radiation, at least in or near Japan, there is a long chain carbohydrate in the seaweed called Fucoidan that has proven to fight cancer again and again.
