The Amazing Healing Properties of Fermented Foods
Apr 8th
By Sayer Ji - Wake Up World
Between the hard and fast dichotomies of cooked and raw, dead and alive, is this beautiful thing called fermented. A place where many of the digestive challenges associated with raw foods (e.g. enzyme inhibitors, antinutrients, lectins) are overcome in favor of not just preserving their benefits (e.g. enzyme activity, vitamin content, life energy), but amplifying them. Also overcome are the adverse consequences of cooking, e.g. enzyme destruction, vitamin activity degradation, oxidized fats, denatured proteins, etc., while still benefiting from the enhanced digestibility and assimilation that certain cooking applications offer. Fermented food is in many ways the complementary union of cooked and raw, as well as their transcendence – an image, not unlike the Tai Chi, comes to mind.

Healing the Wounded Dragon

Accessing the purity of primal power.
I’d say we’re all pretty conscious of the need for healing of the divine feminine. It’s an energy that has been subjugated and mis-treated within society for eons. However, little seems to be said also about the need to heal the divine masculine. And by that, I don’t mean to neuter him! I mean to go deeply into the primal male power, to explore the distortions of it, peel them away, to harness the sleeping dragon and unleash it within our lives. It’s an awesome energy that’s intimately entwined within the DNA of everyone of us. And I’m not just speaking for the guys here, I mean unleashing the primal woman too. When correctly harnessed, the coiled potential resting deep within, can help blaze the trail of our evolutionary journey.

We’ve all been running around in circles, trying to find the golden key that unlocks the door and releases our permanent happiness, reminds us of who and what we are, and reveals what our purpose in life is. In a nutshell, our real purpose is to bring peace to the world by bringing peace to our own mind. In order to accomplish this miracle, each of us will need to focus on one goal: The Mastery of Forgiveness. Over the course of time, there will be some arm wrestling over the true meaning of what it means to forgive, but any way we slice it, every time we forgive, we have just increased our happiness.

What the Pharmaceutical Industry Does NOT Want You to Know About Healing

Western medicine has made numerous advances in healthcare – especially in areas such as diagnosis, trauma care and surgery. At the same time, there are many other areas where it is limited to simply treating illness with drugs. These medications can be very effective . . . though sometimes they cause more problems than they resolve. In fact, prescription drugs claim over 750,000 lives every year. (1) This does not even include all the negative but non-lethal side-effects.
Drug commercials list potential side-effects by the dozen in an effort to stem legal responsibility. Yet these same advertisements brainwash many people into believing that drugs are the absolute best approach to treating illness. The pharmaceutical industry, which reaps over $600 billion in annual revenues worldwide, propagates this belief with a vast marketing machine. (2) As a result, the general public is woefully unaware of the bigger picture….
Science is now beginning to recognize that living things are not just structures made of molecules; they are composed of a vibrating energy field that exchanges information within and around the body. This field regulates all biological functions and is what defines “life.” When the living energy field is harmonized, the entity is healthy. If some aspect is unbalanced, then illness occurs.
Energy healing addresses health on the level of quantum physics where energy changes states from waves to particles, and the reverse. Virtually every ancient culture acknowledged the energy body as the source of health. This led to the development of healing treatments such as acupuncture and Ayurveda, which tap into the power of the energy field which they call “chi” or “prana.”
As our society’s consciousness is gradually awakening, more and more people in the west are turning to various types of energy therapy – often termed “alternative, holistic or complementary.” But navigating the landscape of energetic healing can be a long and difficult process for many. Not all methods of energy healing, and not all healers, are created equal. There are plenty of charlatans ready to take money from the unsuspecting. Fortunately, there are a few excellent healers out there… and arguably the very best of them perform energy therapy as an altruistic effort.
In Europe, one man developed a method of energy healing that obtains results with illnesses considered “incurable” by other standards. His name is Zdenko Domancic (Doe-MAAN-cheech). His clinic in Slovenia has seen over one million patients over the past thirty five years. People sign-up on a six-month waiting list and travel from across the globe to be treated there. Using only energy from the therapist’s hands, the Domancic Method often achieves results with treatments of just fifteen minutes per day over four consecutive days.
