In this day of new age, new thought and new spirituality, we are inundated with a variety of holistic healing modalities. True enough many of them work wonders in helping us release the issues from our body, clear our minds, and open our hearts. And all too often we work within our physical body’s lower seven chakras (spinning wheels of light/energy – or portals). These seven chakras are the main ones to work with indeed; however, did you know that we are really in need of going beyond these seven chakras?

Is the same thing that’s destroying the bees also crippling our farmers?

When Ginnie Peters’ farmer husband took his own life after a sudden mood shift, she really hit the nail on the head when she said:

These chemicals that farmers use, look what they do to an insect. It ruins their nervous system. What is it doing to the farmer?

No one can deny that farming is drastically different than it was in the 1950s, and today it requires extra demand, complete expertise and the stress of uncertainty. Most farmers don’t go into it for high profits.

The EPA, however, has long denied that the pesticide exposure they experience is directly tied to psychological sy...

When are we going to stop thinking in terms of religion, country, tribe, town, neighborhood, planet, business and I. When will we begin to think in terms of humanity and helping all people reach higher? Yes. It is natural to think about self, but when are we going to start thinking about and helping others? Feeding the hungry; giving care to the sick and dying; helping the young child to fight hopelessness; learning to use their abilities to help self and others.

Yes. We are all creatures of selfishness and selflessness. Again I ask: when will the day arrive when we think of our ne...

Brainwave entertainment is a way to train the brain to sync to a certain frequency, such as gamma, beta, deta, theta and alpha. Each frequency matches a certain state of consciousness. For example, deta is the brainwave dominant while in an unconscious state such as sleeping; while theta and alpha inspire relaxation and help get away from our beta state of consciousness that, at a higher frequency, promotes stress and anxiety. Listening to lower frequencies such as deta and theta is beneficial during meditation and could help reach a higher mental state.

What Are Gamma Brain Waves?

Gamma waves are present during the waking process and REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. They are the fastest documented brainwave frequency range. They o...
