Children in New Jersey may soon have access to medical marijuana after Governor Chris Christie announced that he has agreed to sign, under two stipulations, a bill that will allow families to determine their own health care.

New Jersey constituents have pressed Christie to sign the bill, which would allow medical cannabis dispensaries to grow more than three strains of marijuana and provide edible forms of the drug. Digestible methods are better suited to children because the process maintains the medical properties while removing many of the ‘high-like’ aspects popular among recreational smokers.

How many of us can actually say that we take regular cold showers? If you’re from a colder climate, the number is likely to be even less. However, cold showers and baths have a long history in many cultures, and for good reason. Vincenz Priessnitz, a farmer in the 1920s, developed and marketed a medical treatment he called hydrotherapy. He sold the concept of using cold water to cure a long list of aliments, and achieved almost instant success. As the 20th century moved along however, the popularity of hydrotherapy began to decline and falter when medical professionals began to rely more on drugs to treat illnesses and the luxury of hot showers began to increase. However, the use of hydrotherapy as a viable medical treatment never completely stopped. Here are 10 of the many reasons why:

Namaste and aloha! Like me, I know you are looking for ways to find more joy and inner peace for yourself and the world around you. Like every soul, I know you are seeking a deeper connection. It is my intention to create ways of seeing and feeling to help you realize how interconnected we all are no matter what form, color, sex, age or area of the world we live in. No matter where we came from or where we are going. No matter if we are made of air, fire, water or earth... two-legged, four-legged, winged or in a shell. None of that really matters to your spirit. All that matters is the knowing that you are an expression of life and can find that deep connection by quieting down and breathing into the stillness. Here are a dozen more ways to oneness:

Anxiety, worry and angst are a state that people in today’s world experience on daily basis. This fearful state is a bodily symptom caused when a persistent negative thought pattern is being maintained. On average we think about 1 thought per 1.2 seconds. However, the thoughts we pay attention to will become more prominent and will eventually form a habit or a pattern of thinking. In other words, the more we focus on a particular train of thought, the more repetitive it becomes as a bodily experience. 

When you are being present (in the now) you can observe how each thought is directly connected to the body and has a bodily sensation associated with it (either pleasant or unpleasant). It is impossible to have a thought without a sensation. Negative thoughts will create unpleasant sensations while positive thoughts will produce pleasant sensations.
