Is meeting every person, experience and situation in your life from a place of Love really possible? Or is this amazing experience available only to enlightened masters, or those meditating many hours a day, living separate from the world?

When we truly realize and trust that we are created from the fabric of Love, and thus this frequency lives in us, activating it feels not only possible, but inevitable. Love is in our DNA; our Blueprint. Even if we are not feeling it coursing through us at the moment, it is still waiting to be realized. And the more we put our focus on awakening the Love within us, the more it shows up. Often in surprising ways.

Love can take our breath away. Move us to tears. Push us to do things we never could have imagined. It is the most powerful catalyst in the Universe. So, how do we activate this LOVE within us so profoundly that it becomes our dominant reality with all people and situations?

So many of you are reaching for a state of perfection to gain some sort of approval. But what you are not realizing is that you have had our unconditional love and approval all along! If you can settle into an acceptance of that truth, you will start to relax and BE, and express yourself from the place of your own divinity, which will make all the difference in how you treat yourself, and others. Get off the merry-go-round of looking for the approval you have always had, and start to live according to your own beautiful, loving, giving, accepting, tender soul, and you will find the sense of joy, satisfaction and peace you’ve been looking for. ~Archangel Gabriel

"Take note of all the shades of green on the plants. Listen to the melodious call of birds, watch the gentle waves on the surface of the river. Submit fully to the beauty of nature! Watch for the graceful, gentle and wonderful plants and animals –they are alive, they exist, just like you.

The singing birds, the trees whispering in the wind, the wildflowers in the meadow all celebrate the beauty and miracle of life. They do not think, do not speculate, they radiate their beauty with dignity and live in the endless moment of the Now. Once you have submerged into that miracle, your thoughts will subdue and no longer keep you in captivity, so you will be able to open up with admiration to receive the Presence.

Be a smiling spectator, because when you smile, you will open up, the muscles of your head will be relaxed, you will be cheerful, and you accept the completeness of the Present. Smile, whether you have a reason or not, because when you smile, Life smiles back to you.

You will be open, receptive, a part of the flow of the life, and you will feel that you are alive, you live in the Present." Ervin K. Kery

Waking Times

A group of centenarians in a Chinese village seem to have stumbled upon a veritable fountain of youth in the form of a well-known seed. Revered for their life expectancy of 100+ years, inhabitants of Bama Yao live in one of the few longevity hotspots of the world. Sharing similar characteristics with other long-lived people, residents of Bama Yao thrive on a nutrient-rich diet and enjoy a pristine environment. The secret to their exceptional life span, however, appears to be their high intake of hempseed.

Not surprisingly, hempseed is a nutritional powerhouse that is rich in many disease-fighting nutrients. Contained within this small seed are a range of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and healthy fats...
