If you’re one of the millions of people who are suffering from sinus problems, you know all too well how dreadful headaches and nasal pressure can be. In our search for relief, many of us may turn to over the counter sinus medication, which only mask the symptoms.
Fortunately, there is a non-invasive, natural method that can be used instead. In the last five to ten years, many sinus sufferers have turned to an age old tradition to help relieve some of the discomfort. The Neti Pot has been reintroduced into our culture as a means to keep our nasal cavities clear through saline irrigation – a therapy that specifically uses salt and water to flush out nasal passages. Today, there are several ways in which one can irrigate their nasal cavities; however, using the Neti Pot seems to be the most practical method.

Love or Fear – What Are You Afraid of?

When we narrow it down to all the emotions we can experience, the good news is there are only two choices, which makes our decision-making process simple. There’s love, which is our deepest desire, and then there’s that thing we call fear, which we find intolerable. In the long run, love is really everything, and fear is truly nothing.
It’s as important to know how to become unbound as it is bound, and that old cliché, ‘turn and face the music,’ seems appropriate here because we always choose one experience at the expense of the other.
Until we can pinpoint the underlying cause of all fear, we’re going to struggle with the unrest it causes in our psyche, and diminish the awareness of our own perfect peace and joy, which are our natural inheritance.
Fear and conflict are interchangeable, and certainly nothing we want in our lives. Most of us will find our own fear listed here, or a variation on the same theme. After reading through some examples, we’ll get into ways to release those fears so we can be happy and at peace. Let’s assume for the moment that fear is a decision, which can be overcome by belief, faith, and an inner knowing that everyone would like to achieve.

Could it be that cancer rates are so rampant because people are simply not eating the right foods. While there are many factors that play into the development of cancer, diet and smoking habits make up nearly 60 percent of cancer cases. The food news is that with dietary and lifestyle changes, cancer rates can drop dramatically. One of the easiest ways to protect yourself against cancer is to consume many cancer fighting foods – here are 4 of them you should never forget about.
Cancer Fighting Foods – Turmeric (Curcumin)
Among the most currently researched of cancer fighting foods, turmeric has repeatedly been shown to be an effective cancer-fighter and even block cancer growth. Previously found to reduce tumors by an astounding 81%, the naturally occurring compound found in turmeric, curcumin, exhibits numerous anticancer properties. Researchers at UCLA found that curcumin is the component harnessing the ability to actually block cancer growth. Not surprisingly, the cancer-fighting ability that turmeric make up only a single facet of the many benefits of turmeric.

We’ve been receiving many questions of late concerning the subject of soul mates. It seems many are out to find their “ideal” partner in life.
So what’s it all about?
Do we meet on a dreamy white cloud and sail off into an eternal sunset whilst cherubims play their sweet soul music?
Or is there a bit more to it than that?
Both Trinity (my partner) and myself are soul mates who have joined in union in this incarnation to help one another. We felt compelled to write this joint article which you might like to read if the subject interests you…
The Twin Flame
The subject of soul mate would be totally incomplete with out first addressing the phenomenon of the “twin flame” because the former arises from the later. Please allow us to share…

Alongside good food, we often value relationships and communication as essential elements for the nourishment of our mental health and well-being. Undoubtedly, these are important facets in our continued drive for optimal wellness – after all, we are social beings.
On the other hand, they are not the only components we should apply in the realm of communication. We currently live in a time were communication is ever-increasing; tools such as the internet and social networking programs have revolutionized the way we interact. Without a doubt, this new age of communiqué has brought people together from many reaches of the world; however, as we have increased the use of such tools, other communication elements have withered.

The L.A. Times published an article by Rosie Mestel (4/9/12) questioning whether or not fish oil was good for us. This article was based on findings reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine, from a team of scientists from S. Korea. Here’s the article link.
The findings of the study show that, “taking omega-3 fatty acid supplements won’t protect against repeat heart attacks, strokes or other cardiovascular problems.” The lead researcher, Dr. Seung-Kwon Myung, chief of the carcinogenesis branch of the National Cancer Center, Republic of Korea, said that, “It is effective against cardiovascular disease to eat fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids, not supplements.”

What are Antioxidants and Why Should the Prepper Care?

Buddha (c. 563 BC to 483 BC) is credited with saying:
“To keep the body in good health is a duty, otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.”
Now it seems to me that if the world were to drastically change in a TEOTWAWKI situation, having a strong and clear mind would be paramount to survival. And yet, as we plan for such an event, how much of our effort is spent on the matter of good health in the here and now? Not as much as we could and should I say.
The reasons are simple. It is just easy to continue to do things the way we always have. Some chips with our burger, a nice piece of pie for desert, and oh yeah, what about the can of soda to wash it down?
I have always been interested in diet and nutrition, most likely because I was an overweight child and have struggled to maintain trim my entire life. For the most part I have won the battle but now I also face the dreaded prospect of aging, and am acutely aware that what goes in can materially affect both how I look and how I feel as I get older.

Who would have thought that nutrition and eating habits could help to maintain your health?
Showcasing just one of the countless ways you can begin beating cancer with nutrition, research has shown that turmeric can slow down the spread of breast cancer.

Natural Remedies for Food Poisoning

Hardly anyone ever expects to get food poisoning, since the food or drink itself may look, smell and taste perfectly fine at the time. It’s only a few hours or days after ingesting the contaminated item that the worst of the symptoms may appear. These can include vomiting, severe headache, diarrhea, fatigue, digestion distress, etc. It is vitally important to treat symptoms of food poisoning as soon as they appear.
Our first instinct might be to run to the doctor to get antibiotics for a ‘quick fix’, but antibiotics can wipe out all of the beneficial bacteria in our system. This bacterium is necessary to help balance the “bad” bacteria that we have consumed. We can also develop immunity to antibiotics, so it is only a short lived remedy at best. Are there natural, less harsh remedies we can make and use at home?
Dare to be Free. Free to be Me. How Much is Your Life Shaped by What you ‘Should’ do?

How much does life’s conditioning, expectation, sense of responsibility and obligation subtlely control what you end up doing? For most, even when we’re awake, it’s a good deal. I remember guiding a firewalk once and saying to the group, dare to feel it, dare to be you, dare to express yourself. At which point, one lady stripped off all her clothes and walked naked across the fire. For the whole group, it was a breath-taking, inspirational expression of total freedom…
There’s a YOU inside all of this
There is a YOU inside all of this. There is a YOU that is totally free. At a soul level, we are not governed by taboos of what we should and shouldn’t be. Laws, regulations, contracts and popular opinion, are all constructs of thought forms solidified like flowing water long since frozen.
Are You Unintentionally Poisoning Your Food?

While you and your family may be eating high quality organic foods on a routine basis, a simple food preparation mistake may actually be poisoning the food you eat. What’s more, you may even be told it is safe by some medical and government leaders who are completely unaware of the research on this toxic substance.
Are You Unintentionally Poisoning Your Food with Sodium Fluoride?
The toxic substance I am speaking of is sodium fluoride, added to citizens’ water supplies worldwide and used in food preparation in many homes. Even if you’re eating organic soup, for example, the fluoridated water being used to heat and cook the soup can have serious consequences when it comes to the health of you and your family — particularly young ones.

The Number ONE

“When Heaven and Earth are united sweet dew of love comes down”— Free after Lao Zu
1
The Number 1 vibrates to the Sun. It represents creativity, protection and benevolence. 1 is the number of original action, the basis of all other numbers. The following words, composed by Percy Bysshe Shelley in his “Hymn to Intellectual Beauty” written about two hundred years ago, are likely the best introduction to the description of this powerful number with first attention to its more beautiful and ‘higher purpose’ side of what the Cosmos has in store for us all with this positive vibration but what we increasingly seem to lose sight of and contact with.
Spirit of Beauty that dost consecrate
With thine own hues all thou dost shine upon
Of human thought or form, where art thou gone?
Why dost thou pass away, and leave our state,
This dim vast vale of tears, vacant and desolate?
Shelley’s words clearly came from the heart and are indicative of the most representative of the ‘1’, the ‘19’, called “The Prince of Heaven”, the Sun, as well whereas the rather difficult ‘earthly counterpart’ the ‘28’, called “a number of frustrating and puzzling contradictions”!
