Tea dates back centuries where it was used on a daily basis in China and other Asian territories. Through the course of time, it quickly became a mainstay in households, restaurants and coffee shops across the whole world, and it will likely stay popular for some time to come. One of the main reasons for its popularity is all the benefits it brings to the table. Green and black tea, for example, are rich in these compounds called flavonoids. According to the Harvard Medical School, flavonoids help reduce the risk for cardiovascular disease.

But here’s where the news gets even better. By adding CBD to tea, you end up with a synergistic effect. Simply put, two plus two no longer equals four. It equals five or six.
The bottom line is, this combination is very worth your while to explore. Here is a bit more detailed information on this centuries-old concoction.

Why You Should Drink CBD Tea
Here’s an interesting little piece of data for you. CBD tea is also known as hemp tea. This is because the CBD used often derives from hemp plants. The cannabis plant is in the same family as hemp, but this is the one that contains high levels of the mind-altering substance known as THC. That being said, the main reason why you would want to drink CBD tea is that it is a natural, legal and safe means of treating conditions in your body. CBD is not pot! It will not get you high.

CBD Tea Health Benefits
Now that you know that CBD and tea alone are good for the body, you should get a better handle on just what the specific benefits are. Here are several of them for you to consider.

CBD Tea Treats Headaches
There’s nothing quite like a headache to put a major damper on your day, or stop you dead in your tracks when you’re trying to concentrate on a work problem. They can be short-term and last only a few hours or they can be severe enough that you are reduced to lying on your back with your eyes closed for an entire day.
Headache disorders are also quite common. In fact, according to the World Health Organization, they are THE most common nervous system disorders. They are characterized by tension headaches, cluster headaches, and migraines that happen on a reoccurring basis. The good news is, you do not need to suffer your way through life, dealing with these headache issues. CBD tea has been known to relax the brain and reduce the pain associated with headaches.

CBD Tea Relieves Anxiety
Dealing with anxiety is much like dealing with depression. It’s very unsettling and uncomfortable, and it can make days arduous and nights sleepless. According to the Mayo Clinic, a full-on anxiety disorder can affect everything from school work to job performance to personal relationships. If you should happen to have any form of anxiety or depression for that matter, just know that CBD tea can help alleviate it.

CBD Tea Helps With Insomnia
According to the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, insomnia is a sleep disorder where you have trouble falling asleep, staying asleep or a combination of the two.
This makes it hard to focus and concentrate during the day. Plus, you tend to feel drowsy, yet can’t fall asleep. That’s a major problem. But there is light at the end of the tunnel. Drinking CBD tea can relax you and help you get to sleep. And if you infused your CBD with a tea that’s already designed for sleep problems, you’ll do yourself even more justice.

CBD Tea Alleviates Inflammation
Everything from the brain to the heart to the joints is subject to inflammation. Obviously, the last thing you ever want to happen is contract inflammation in your heart, as this can quickly bring your life to a close. Well, you already know that tea has been proven beneficial for heart health. When combined with CBD, tea can also ease and prevent inflammation. And this can be seen through the entire body.

CBD and Metabolism
Research shows that CBD has a direct effect on our metabolism. During 2016, Korean researchers published a study on the topic in the scientific journal Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry. After carefully monitoring CBD and its effects on immature fat cells, aka preadipocytes, astonishingly, they found that the cannabinoid has not one, but three ways of effecting "fat browning".

Researchers not only discovered that CBD stimulates the proteins and genes that play a role in increasing the breakdown of fat, but also that CBD can boost the number and activity of mitochondria, magnifying the body's power to burn calories. Interestingly enough, they found that CBD reduces the expression of proteins involved in creating new fat cells within the body as well.

White fat can increase the risk of diabetes, heart disease, but brown fat, on the other hand, can potentially promote weight loss by burning energy. Once the study was complete, researchers agreed that CBD has the ability to induce "fat browning", or in other words, turn white fat into brown fat.

CBD Tea Treats Nausea
People going through cancer treatment often have to deal with a battery of unwanted side effects. Hair loss is one of the main things. But they can also have a loss of appetite, or nausea when they are going through chemotherapy. Sipping tea with CBD infused can help null these effects.

CBD Tea Helps You To Feel Calm And Happy!
The best case scenario in your life is that you are for the most part calm and happy. That can make every aspect of your life so much more enjoyable.Remember, every tea has different effects. If you are specifically looking to ease inflammation, then our CBD Tumeric Ginger tea that’s designed for that will be a good option. But if you want to relax and take the edge off your anxiety, our CBD Chamomile Lemon Balm Lavender tea will be a better  fit. CBD Matcha Green Tea with potent antioxidant properties, known to reduce the presence of free radicals in the body, is a delicious addition to your anti-aging regime. The health benefits of CBD Peppermint Tea include the obvious--digestive issues: nausea; gas & bloating; possibly IBS. As an antispasmodic, peppermint, along with water-soluble CBD, has assisted with respiratory issues. Finally, with the calming, cooling aromatherapy aspect of peppermint, combined with our water-soluble CBD, this blend promises to provide a relaxing cup of tea, day or night.

You can also fuse a CBD tea with an Adaptogen or the Chakra Blend that’s going to be most valuable for your situation. Natural remedies are always the best way to go. And CBD tea is right atop of that list. Not only can it help reduce the symptoms you might be dealing with, but it can also boost your immune function and possibly do a lot more.

In India and China, soldiers have used adaptogens for centuries to handle the stress of combat, recover faster, and increase their energy. Today, you can use adaptogens for – you guessed it – their adaptogenic properties: they help your body adapt to biological and psychological stress by making it easier for you to balance your hormonal systems. What does that mean, exactly? Adaptogens help you cope with common symptoms of living in the modern world, including fatigue, impotence, and infertility. In other words, adaptogens make you more resilient in all facets of life, giving you energy, focus, strength and a better overall mood.

Even though these adaptogenic herbs have worked for thousands of years, scientific research is only beginning to reveal to the West the potential that adaptogens have to upgrade your stress response and energy levels.

What are adaptogens?
Adaptogens are unique plants or herbs that support your adrenal system. They help balance your hormones, so you can manage your stress response on a day to day basis. They adapt to what your body needs and have the ability to regulate your system up or down depending on the need in the moment.

How do adaptogens work?
Think of it like this. If you’ve ever driven a sports car, when you step on the gas, it very quickly moves forward, and when you let off, it slows down quickly. In contrast, in your grandmother’s car, you can pin the accelerator to the floor, but you have to wait two seconds for the car to lurch forward. When you release the gas, it kind of coasts.
Your adrenals are the same way. You want them to make stress hormones quickly when needed, then to stop making the hormones as soon as you’re done. That’s what adaptogens do – they make your adrenals react more quickly, so you spend less time and energy making stress hormones.

Different adaptogens work for different people. That’s why we have functional medicine docs, Ayurveda, herbalists, and even shamanic practitioners who work with herbs.

1. Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha, one of the most common adaptogens, translates to ‘smell of horse,’ — it is used in Ayurvedic practices for all kinds of things, most notably for reducing stress. (Remember that stress comes from exercise, diet, infection, fear of stuff, and even your mother-in-law…and your body doesn’t care about the source.)

Benefits of Ashwagandha
Decreases anxiety and stress: Several human studies show that ashwagandha decreases anxiety, stress, c-reactive protein and cortisol. The decrease in cortisol is worth talking about, especially when you compare the effects of ashwagandha to those of other stress-reducing supplements. Studies show ashwagandha decreased stress 14.5-27.9% in healthy but stressed people.

Improves memory: Another cool thing about ashwagandha is that it shows promise in improving memory formation. This could be important in research for treating Alzheimer’s patients. More large human studies are needed to show how and why this adaptogen might be effective, but there is research to suggest that ashwagandha could reverse the effects of neurological toxins associated with neurodegenerative diseases.

Ashwagandha is best for

• reducing stress and anxiety
• decreasing c-reactive protein levels
• lowering the stress-hormone cortisol
• improving memory formation
• aiding with neurodegenerative diseases

2. Astragalus
Astragalus is a fundamental adaptogenic herb used in Traditional Chinese Medicine and is primarily used for longevity, to fight inflammation, and for kidney support. It can also reduce levels of c-reactive protein, one of the inflammation markers that you can drive down. Astragalus has 126 useful components, mostly flavonoids, saponins and polysaccharides.

Benefits of Astragalus
Lengthens telomeres (and lifespan): Astragalus is particularly interesting in that it’s the only natural substance that contains cycloastragenol, a molecule that can lengthen telomeres by activating telomerase production by 2-3x. Telomeres are structures on the end of chromosomes that, the shorter they become, the closer that cell is to dying. By lengthening telomeres, you could essentially delay cell death and slow down aging. The length of your telomeres is related to your lifespan, which is why protecting your telomeres may be key to aging gracefully.

Boosts immune system: Astragalus also has immune-boosting properties and can activate T-cells even more than echinacea.

Astragalus is best for

• reducing inflammatory-causing c-reactive protein
• possible longevity effects
• lengthening your telomeres
• boosting your immune system

3. Chaga
Chaga mushrooms can be found growing in the forest on birch trees resembling a large clump of dirt. But the benefits of this fungus are astounding. Those who live in Russia and Siberia have used this adaptogenic mushroom for thousands of years. Known as a folk medicine in the past, it is now being recognized in research and has shown its power in supporting cellular health. Well-sourced, high-quality medicinal mushrooms  serve a purpose as supplement.

Benefits of Chaga
Suppresses tumor growth: Chaga is rich in antioxidants and has shown to support apoptosis (cell death). A study performed on mice in 2016 showed that using an extract of Chaga reduced tumor size by 60%. It also showed a decrease in temperature after implantation of the tumor. The decreased temperature could explain the reason Chaga suppresses cancer growth by regulating energy metabolism. Multiple studies performed on mice have shown that Chaga suppresses tumor growth in liver cancer,  lung cancer and breast cancer. It can even support the immune system during chemotherapy.

Reduces blood sugar levels: Many mice studies have observed a positive effect of Chaga on diabetes. Not only does Chaga lower blood glucose levels, but also cholesterol and triglycerides.

Prevents DNA damage: Stress causes a substantial amount of harm to the body leading to many different diseases. Chaga has been shown to reduce oxidative stress by almost 55%. Not only is it believed to support digestive issues, it could be a beneficial supplement to reduce oxidative stress in general.

Chaga is best for

• Supporting cancer cell apoptosis
• Lowering blood glucose levels
• Reducing oxidative stress
• Boosting your immune system

• Combating fatigue
• Enhancing memory
• Supporting brain function
• Fighting free radical damage
• Increasing endurance and exercise performance

4. Holy Basil
Holy basil, or Tulsi, is an herb used in Ayurvedic medicine and is traditionally used as an adaptogen, aphrodisiac, and liver supporter. It’s also used for longevity!

Benefits of Holy Basil
Protects liver: Studies show that this herb can be an effective liver protector, and is especially potent when paired with milk thistle, another liver supporter.

Lowers stress and anxiety: Other practices include using holy basil as a stress reducer, antioxidant, and anti-anxiety supplement.

Increases muscle mass: Holy basil is high in ursolic acid, a compound also found in apple peels, that may affect body composition by increasing muscle mass and decreasing body fat.

Boosts libido: Holy basil is also known to be both an anti-fertility agent and libido enhancer, so this could be a fun herb for couples not ready to conceive. Holy basil is one of the only aphrodisiac and testosterone boosting-supplements, while also being reducing fertility in men, and researchers aren’t entirely sure why. Some animal studies suggest that it could also be tied to its high ursolic acid content. The ursolic acid could prevent spermatogenesis.

Holy basil is best for

• Reducing stress and anxiety
• Supporting your liver
• Lowering inflammation
• Building muscle mass and lowering body fat
• Lowering men’s fertility*
• Boosting your (or your partner’s) libido

5. Maca
Maca is a Peruvian root that grows in the Andes and is becoming known for its abilities to support sex drive and boost fertility, which can go down in times of stress.

Benefits of Maca
Boosts libido: In multiple studies with men and women, Maca has been shown to increase libido and the desire for sex. From antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction to erectile dysfunction, Maca can boost the libido and get you in the mood.

Increases fertility: Maca has also been shown to increase fertility in both men and women. For men, Maca improves sperm count and motility (their ability to move through the woman’s reproductive system). For women, Maca encourages overall hormone balance, which can support regulation of the woman’s cycle.

Maca is best for

• Boosting libido
• Increasing fertility
• Balancing hormones

6. Ginseng
Traditional healers have used Siberian ginseng to fight fatigue, maximize physical performance, and improve overall immunity and longevity. Research backs their practices.

Benefits of Ginseng
Improves brain power and focus: Studies show that ginseng is effective when used to improve cognition and focus. The improvement in cognition is most likely a result of a decrease in fatigue (kind of like coffee). In studies where individuals were not already experiencing fatigue, they did not see an increase in cognition.

Increases sense of well-being: There’s conflicting evidence when it comes to using ginseng as a mood-booster, with ginseng having the same effects on mood as the placebo. Other studies, however, do show that in healthy people, ginseng does have a mood-boosting effect and can increase calm and improve memory and performance.

Boosts libido and sexual performance: Research shows that taking ginseng improves the quality of erections in men suffering from erectile dysfunction  It also stimulates sexual behavior in animal studies. Other research in post-menopausal women found that Korean red ginseng improved their sexual arousal.

Lowers blood sugar: There’s also some evidence that ginseng can lower blood glucose levels, although it doesn’t appear to have any effect on people that don’t have an existing condition like diabetes or hypertension, for example. Large human studies are lacking though and there’s conflicting results in the studies that do exist.

Ginseng is best for

• Fighting fatigue
• Improving endurance in strenuous activity
• Increasing cognitive and physical performance
• Boosting your immune system
• Balances blood glucose levels
• Boosting libido and sexual arousal
• Boosting your mood

7. Reishi
Reishi mushroom has been used for over 2,000 years in China with documented scripts of their many benefits. From boosting the immune system and reducing blood sugar to supporting the liver and fighting cancer, this mushroom is one to keep on hand, assuming you’re using high-quality, medicinal-grade mushrooms — and not taking it every day.

Benefits of Reishi
Boosts the immune system: Reishi contains antioxidants which protect cells from oxidative damage. With this protection comes the ability to be more resilient and respond to threats properly.

Detoxes your system: A study of 300 one-day-old male broiler chickens fed a contaminated diet of aflatoxin (poisonous carcinogens produced by mold) showed that when Reishi was introduced to the diet, it counteracted the negative effects of the aflatoxin. This suggests that reishi is protective of the immune function and helps detox the system – especially useful when you’ve been exposed to allergens or toxins.

Fights cancer: Studies on different types of cancer show the possibilities of Reishi as an antitumor and cancer preventative. Human prostate cancer cell lines were used to observe the effect on prostate cancer. Results showed that the cells were sensitive to Reishi, causing a 45% to 55% decrease in cells. A study of reishi on inflammatory breast cancer also showed anticancer properties with a reduced tumor growth and weight.

Reishi is best for

• Boosting immunity
• Supporting apoptoisis
• Protecting the liver
• Balancing blood sugar

What is CBD?
CBD comes from the Cannabis sativa plant, which is also used to produce hemp and marijuana. It’s extracted from the resin of cannabis buds and flowers and usually diluted with another oil, like MCT.

The major difference between CBD and marijuana is that it does not contain THC, the psychoactive compound that probably comes to mind when you think of marijuana. That means you won’t get high from using CBD.

How does CBD affect the body?
Marijuana and CBD work by acting on the body’s endocannabinoid system. This system’s main job is to maintain homeostasis and help the body adapt to outside stressors.

There are two main types of cannabinoids—endo (produced naturally within the body) and phyto (produced from a plant). CBD is one type of phytocannabinoid. Phytocannabinoids mimic endocannabinoids, so they can act like a supplement, giving you a boost beyond what your body can produce.

Receptors for cannabinoids are found in the digestive, reproductive, nervous, and immune systems. Because cannabinoids interact with almost every system in our bodies, they’re often touted as a cure-all. While they’re not truly able to heal everything, they do regulate neurotransmitter function, inflammation, mitochondrial function, and metabolism.

Health Benefits

Improves mood disorders.
CBD works directly on the brain receptors 5HT1A (serotonin) and GABA (an inhibitory neurotransmitter). Lower levels of these can contribute to anxiety and depression.

Lowers inflammation.
Suppresses cytokine production and induces T-regulatory cells to protect the body from attacking itself, which can help autoimmune conditions.

Decreases chronic pain.
Inhibits transmission of neuronal signalling through pain pathways.

Aids gut health.
Helps heal the leaky tight junctions that contribute to intestinal permeability and decreases spasmodic activity common in irritable bowel syndrome.

Feel more energized, lower cortisol levels, and balance your hormones...

While there are many emerging studies showing signs of CBD’s health benefits, research is limited on its long-term effects. If you try a CBD oil and start to see unpleasant side effects, stop taking it and see your doctor immediately. At the end of the day, CBD oil is a supplement and should be used as part of an overall healthy lifestyle.

Everything happens for a reason and we never meet anyone by mere coincidence. We must always remember this.

No matter what you are going through it has meaning and it will push you to where you need to be. Synchronicities for those who do not know are essentially ‘meaningful coincidences.’ They are people coming into our lives to show us things and even having things happen that begin a chain reaction. Synchronistic connections come in many forms.

Everyone who comes into our lives has something to teach us. We all learn from one another on some level whether you notice it or not. Some people come into our lives to tear us apart and others are merely here to grow with us. Below you will find the 6 most common kinds of people you will come in contact with in life. These are all synchronistic connections.

1. Those who come to remind you
These people come into our lives to remind us of something important. They evoke knowledge from within us and help us to understand it. These people can and will remain marked on your soul for eternity whether they are permanently a part of your life or not.

2. Those who make you grow
These people are the teachers of our souls. They come into our lives to help us become better versions of ourselves. They are there for us in our time of need and because of them, we are able to better understand who we are and who we are meant to be.

3. Those who are here to stay
These are the people who remain a part of our life forever. They are your support system and they come in when you need them most. You will have far too many to count experiences with these people and your bond will be far stronger than anything you could have ever imagined.

4. Those who come to awaken you
These people come into our lives to shake our reality. They are often those who we wish we had never met but learned a lot from. Not everyone you encounter is positive. Negativity is important when it comes to growing as well. The Universe knows what you can and cannot handle far better than you do.

5. Those who hold space for you
These are the people who come into our lives for a mere moment. They are people who pass you by and yet still are able to make you feel less alone in the world. You may only share a few words with them or even just a glance. These people make an impact when you need one the most.

6. Those who are meant to leave
These people were never going to be there for long. They are sent to you so that you can learn from them and as I mentioned above not every learning experience has to be a positive one. These are the people who come into your life and make you fall in love only to break your hear wide open!

Giving thanks to All our ancestors,
those that have brought us here, NOW, we honor the carriers of the lineage of the Codes of Love.  We witness the patterns of creation, and feel the Great-Full-Ness of
Life.  We see we are Source Coded to thrive.

So, in Gratitude we go and grow,
remembering we are carriers of Love,
designed to facilitate the continuance of Life, while Birthing New Reality with grace and ease.

Blooming Humans are WE!

In choosing to Activate, nurture, tender, cultivate and harvest our Dream Seeds, we are offering sustenance for ALL to thrive.

We are Source Coded to Thrive, and our Dream Seeds are growing into a Garden of Illuminated Hearts.

Blessed Be!

Once upon a time,
Once upon a time, the tribe of humanity embarked upon a long journey called Separation. It was not a blunder as some - seeing its ravages upon the planet - might think. Nor was it a fall, nor an expression of some innate evil peculiar to the human species. It was a journey with a purpose: to experience the extremes of Separation, to develop the gifts that come in response to it, and to integrate all of that in a new age of Reunion.

But we knew at the outset that there was danger in this journey: that we might become lost in Separation and never come back. We might become so alienated from nature that we would destroy the very basis of life; we might become so separated from each other that our poor egos, left naked and terrified, would become incapable of rejoining the community of all being. In other words, we foresaw the crisis we face today.


That is why, thousands of years ago, we planted three seeds that would sprout at the time that our journey of Separation reached its extreme. Three seeds, three transmissions from the past to the future, three ways of preserving and transmitting the truth of the world, the self, and how to be human.

Imagine you were alive thirty thousand years ago, and had a vision of all that was to come: symbolic language, naming and labeling the world; agriculture, the domestication of the wild, dominion over other species and the land; the Machine, the mastery of natural forces; the forgetting of how beautiful and perfect the world is; the atomization of society; a world where humans fear even to drink of the streams and rivers, where we live among strangers and don't know the people next door, where we kill across the planet with the touch of a button, where the seas turn black and the air burns our lungs, where we are so broken that we dare not remember that it isn't supposed to be this way.

Imagine you saw it all coming. How would you help people thirty thousand years thence? How would you send information, knowledge, aid over such a vast gulf of time? You see, this actually happened. That is how we came up with the three seeds.

The first seed was the wisdom lineages: lines of transmission going back thousands of years that have preserved and protected essential knowledge. From adept to disciple, in every part of the world, various wisdom traditions have passed down teachings in secret. Wisdom keepers, Sufis, Taoist wizards, Zen masters, mystics, gurus, and many others, hiding within each religion, kept the knowledge safe until the time when the world would be ready to reclaim it. That time is now, and they have done their job well.

The time of secrets is over. Released too early, the knowledge was co-opted, abused, or usually just ignored. When we still had not covered the territory of Separation, when we still aspired to widening our conquest of nature, when the story of humanity's Ascent was not yet complete, we weren't ready to hear about union, connectedness, interdependency, inter-being-ness. We thought the answer was more control, more technology, more logic, a better-engineered society of rational ethics, more control over matter, nature, and human nature. But now the old paradigms are failing, and human consciousness has reached a degree of receptivity that allows this seed to spread across the earth. It has been released, and it is growing inside of us en masse.

The second seed was the sacred stories: myths, legends, fairy tales, folklore, and the perennial themes that keep reappearing in various guises throughout history. They have always been with us, so that however far we have wandered into the Labyrinth of Separation, we have always had a lifeline, however tenuous and tangled, to the truth. The stories nurture that tiny spark of memory within us that knows our origin and our destination. The ancients, knowing that the truth would be co-opted and distorted if left in explicit form, encoded it into stories.

When we hear or read one of these stories, even if we cannot decode the symbolism, we are affected on an unconscious level. Myths and fairy tales represent a very sophisticated psychic technology. Each generation of storytellers, without consciously intending to, transmits the covert wisdom that it learned, unconsciously, from the stories told it.
 
Without directly contradicting the paradigms of separation and ascent, our myths and stories have smuggled in a very different understanding of reality. Under the cover of, "It's just a story," they convey emotional, poetic, and spiritual truth that contradicts linear logic, reductionism, determinism, and objectivity. I am not talking here about moralistic stories. Most of those carry little truth. To transmit the second seed, we must humble ourselves to our stories, and not try to use them for our own moralistic ends. They were created by beings far wiser than our modern selves.

If you tell or transmit stories, be very respectful of their original form and don't change them unless you feel a poetic upwelling. Pay attention to which children's literature has the feel of a true story. Most recent kids' literature does not. You can recognize a true story by the way its images linger in your mind. It imprints itself on the psyche. You get the feeling that something else has been transmitted alongside the plot, something invisible. Usually, such stories bear rich symbolism often unknown even to their authors. A comparison of two 20th-century children's books illustrates my point: compare a Berenstain Bears story with How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Only the latter has a psychic staying power, revealing the spirit of a true story, and it is rich with archetypal symbolism.

The third seed was the indigenous tribes, the people who at some stage opted out of the journey of separation. Imagine that at the outset of the journey, the Council of Humanity gathered and certain members volunteered to retreat to remote locations and forgo separation, which meant refusing to enter into an adversarial, controlling relationship to nature, and therefore refusing the process that leads to the development of high technology. It also meant that when they were discovered by the humans who had gone deeply into Separation, they would meet with the most atrocious suffering. That was unavoidable.

These people of the third seed have nearly completed their mission today. Their mission was simply to survive long enough to provide living examples of how to be human. Each tribe carried a different piece, sometimes many pieces, of this knowledge. Many of them show us how to see and relate to the land, animals, and plants. Others show us how to work with dreams and the unseen. Some have preserved natural ways of raising children, now spreading through such books as The Continuum Concept. Some show us how to communicate without words - tribes such as the Hazda and the Piraha communicate mostly in song. Some show us how to free ourselves from the mentality of linear time. All of them exemplify a way of being that we intuitively recognize and long for. They stir a memory in our hearts, and awaken our desire to return.

The Lakota Aloysius Weasel Bear once asked his grandfather, "Grandpa, the White Man is destroying everything, shouldn't we try to stop him?" His grandfather replied, "No, it isn't necessary. We will stand by. He will outsmart himself." The grandfather recognized two things in this reply: (1) That Separation carries the seeds of its own demise, and (2) That his people's role is to be themselves. But I don't think that this is an attitude of callousness that leaves the White Man to his just desserts; it is an attitude of compassion and helping that understands the tremendous importance of simply being who they are. They are keeping alive something that the planet and the community of all being needs.

By the same token, our culture's fascination with all things indigenous is not merely the latest form of cultural imperialism and exploitation. True, the final stage of cultural domination would be to turn Native ways into a brand, a marketing image. And certainly there are some in my culture who, sundered from community and from a real identity, adopt Native pseudo-identities and pride themselves on their connections to Native culture, spirituality, people, and so forth.

Underneath that, however, we recognize that the surviving First Peoples have something important to teach us. We are drawn to their gift, to the seed that they have preserved until the present time. To receive this seed, it is not necessary to participate in their rituals, take an animal name, or claim a Native ancestor, but only to humbly see what they have preserved, so that memory may awaken. Until recently, such seeing was impossible for us, blinkered by our cultural superiority complex, our arrogance, our apparent success in mastering the universe. Now that converging ecological and social crises reveal the bankruptcy of our ways, we have the eyes to see the ways of others.

The seeds of Reunion are sprouting everywhere. That which was hidden for millennia is coming to light. Soon, fertilized by the detritus of our decaying civilization, the sprouts will mature, bloom, and bear fruit. Our job is first to receive them, then to spread them everywhere and to guard and foster them with every ounce of our love. 

May you be blessed!

What is Vibrational Frequency? Everything in the universe vibrates at a different frequency – the sun, plants, you, and even the chair or bed you’re sitting on. This frequency is measured in hertz (Hz). A healthy body frequency is 62 – 72 Mhz. Fresh foods are 20 – 27 or higher if grown organically and eaten freshly picked while dried foods are 15 – 22 and processed foods come in at a whopping 0 Hz.

Scientists have found that certain frequencies can prevent the development of illness in our bodies. There’s actually an instrument that can measure the electrical frequency of our cells, which has shown that bodies that are ill have a lower vibrational frequency. Not only is your body healthier at a higher vibrational frequency but your mental and emotional health increases as well. In addition, as your vibrational frequency rises, your spiritual growth and ability to feel that “woman’s intuition” is heightened. It is completely possible to have it all – health, wealth, happiness, and a connection to God (whatever that is for you and your personal beliefs) through high levels of vibration.

Keep in mind this isn’t a new concept. It’s been practiced successfully all over the world for thousands of years, but only recently found a place in western society when we discovered how to actually measure this phenomenon and utilize it to optimize health. The first step in raising your vibrational frequency is to remove things from your body and life that we know lower it. Things like refined sugars, processed foods, artificial sweeteners, coffee, toxins, chemicals, and preservatives are all known culprits. Extreme stress and negative feelings can have a negative impact on your level of vibration as well.

The good news is that raising your vibrational frequency is not that difficult. Here are 20 ways in which you can increase your vibrational frequency!

Alter Your Diet
Focus on consuming cleaning, high vibrational foods such as:

• Fresh, ripe fruit and vegetables (preferably local, organic, and in season)
• Whole, organic grains
• Organic beans, lentils, and legumes
• Organic nuts and seeds
• Spring water from the source
• Himalayan salt, Celtic Sea salt, or other mineralized salts
• Herbal tea
• Green smoothies

Reconnect with Nature
Try walking barefoot to reconnect with the energy in the earth.

Get Rid of Negative Energy
Write it down, scream, jump, or punch a pillow – find a way to discharge it!

Change Your Thoughts
Positive thoughts have a high vibrational frequency while negative thoughts have a low vibrational frequency. Make a choice to stay positive! Book a session to release unhealthy agreements, contracts, relationship issues, and energy patterns

Participate in Joyful Movement
Joyful movement stimulates the release of endorphins, which help to increase your vibrational frequency.

Do what Makes You Feel Good
Pick an activity that brings you joy, and do it on a regular basis. This can include snuggling, painting, or just simply being with someone special in your life.

Listen to Music
Music has an extremely high vibrational frequency and crosses all boundaries. Make sure you’re listening to something you enjoy!

Dance
Moving your body in a way that makes you feel good helps increase your vibrational frequency. Turn up some tunes and shake it!

Spend time with Animals
Animals have high vibrational frequencies, so when you reconnect with them, your frequency increases.

Experience Aromatherapy
Essential oils start at 52 Hz and go as high as 320 Hz, which is the frequency of rose oil. Clinical research shows that therapeutically grade essential oils have the highest frequency of any natural substance known to man, creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, viruses, and fungi cannot live.

Laugh and Smile
Anything that brings you joy will help increase your vibrational frequency! Make a point to do something that makes you laugh (or at least smile) every day.

Show Gratitude
You can make neurobiological changes with a shift in your focus on gratitude. Start with the basics of being alive, having at least one friend, etc.

Meditate
Meditation has been shown to increase your vibrational frequency while calming the mind so you’re in a heightened state of consciousness.

Stop Complaining and Gossiping
Are the things you’re talking about bringing you more of what you want or bringing you down a path that lowers your vibrational frequency instead?

Practice Yoga
Yoga means “union” and helps to connect the body and mind to raise your vibrational frequency.

Hug Someone
Human contact has been shown to significantly raise vibrational frequency. It is also known to be healing and soothing.

Get a Massage
Again, human contact is a fast and effective way to increase that frequency. Plus, talk about getting rid of negative energy!

Breathe
Bringing in this basic force of life and flooding the body with oxygen is a great way to increase your vibrational frequency. Focus on taking time to breathe deeply and slowly.

Sing
Whether it’s in the shower or a crowd of hundreds, singing is a great way to bring in new energy and increase your vibrational frequency.

Love
Love is the single most powerful thing you can do to raise your vibrational frequency quickly and for long periods of time!

To Wrap it Up
Your vibrational frequency matters when it comes to your health and happiness, and ultimately, it’s up to you how high it is! At Oshun Spirit we understand the power of personalization and encourage you to do what works for you and your needs! Take measures into your own hands, and make a point to do a least a few items on this list every day.

Since ancient times spiritual bathing has been a part of just about every spiritual tradition to cleanse away negativity, for new beginnings, and to attract blessings.

To take a spiritual bath start with a physically clean space and body. This means cleaning up you bathroom and taking your regular shower first. Next you need to energetically cleanse your space by burning Sage, Palo Santo, Copal or whichever cleansing herb or resin you have on hand but these are ideal.

Create an ambiance of sacredness with music and illuminate your space by lighting candles. Draw your bath, and soak with intention for 20 minutes or longer.

Breathe.

Focus on your overall goal, visualize, and relax. Rinse off afterwards if desired and dry off as you normally would. Know that all is well.

Devoted to your growth and greatness, I’m here to empower you to make positive changes in your life that will facilitate the manifestation of your desired outcomes. In our time together, I will help you to really define your desired outcome, explore the current energies that surround you and understand the likely outcomes if you were to follow certain paths.

I’m dedicated to helping you deepen your intuition and your connection with the divine in everyday life, to help you connect with a deeper, more expansive part of yourself... the part of you that knows there are no limits, there’s always more than enough, and anything you want is possible. You will feel empowered to make independent decisions about what may best lead to your desired outcome.

A great intuitive session always makes room for your own intuition and wisdom to fully guide you as you walk your path in life. I invite you to think of what comes up in our time together as a map of the possibilities that surround you in this moment. You are the one who decides which road to take. I can uncover insight into what’s likely to happen based on your present circumstances, reflect your options back to you, and help you create the life you want to live and the person you want to become.

My process is designed to show you what your higher self wants you to know, clear any old or unhealthy energy that’s in your space, and teach you how to allow yourself to be fully supported on your soul’s journey. You’ll feel more peaceful, more connected, and freer to create a life that aligns with your soul’s deepest knowing.

Using an integrated understanding of modern quantum energy modalities and ancient traditions, I am also able to uncover and clear energetic blocks that are keeping you from your desires. With this new found freedom, you’ll be able to let go of old patterns and beliefs that no longer serve you, and leave your session with more clarity about your situation feeling deeply hopeful for what lies ahead.

I promise you that you’ll feel known, seen, and understood… and so much more. I look forward to our time together!
