Phoenix is saying to you, “Get rid of the past and start afresh!”

The spirit of the Phoenix is very powerful.  This mythical animal is able to burn entirely and resurrect from its own ashes.  But, it can lead to very drastic and positive changes by erasing all burdens from the past and beginning anew.  You may go through a similar process right now or in the near future.  Even if it may sound like a bumpy ride, your soul is certainly calling for it.  The Phoenix is a bold, indestructible being, just as you are.  Those who use this ally are strong enough to create rapid transformation in their lives, quickly letting go of dead energies and accessing a whole new set of opportunities.  Thanks to this daring approach, many doors may open at once.  Don’t get overwhelmed by all those potentials and take a bit of time to study all your options.  But the only way is forward — full steam ahead!

Look for a new opportunity … look for inspiration everywhere today.  This Ace is a seed to be nurtured.  Be ready to write down notes so you don’t forget the ideas that pop into your head.  These are new bright ideas, bursts of creative energy, sources of inspiration.  Excitement, enthusiasm and energy for something new are available now.  Even if something seems impossible or way too big, write it down.  You never know.  Now is your chance to be courageous.

Meditation

“Any Bodhisattva who undertakes the practice of meditation should cherish one thought only: ‘When I attain perfect wisdom, I will liberate all sentient beings in every realm of the universe, and allow them to pass into the eternal peace of Nirvana.’ And yet, when vast, uncountable, unthinkable myriads of beings have been liberated, truly no being has been liberated. Why? Because no Bodhisattva who is a true Bodhisattva entertains such concepts as ‘self’ and ‘other’. Thus there are no sentient beings to be liberated and no self to attain perfect wisdom…The Buddha has no doctrine to convey. The truth is ungraspable and inexpressible. It neither is nor is not … All Bodhisattvas should develop a pure, lucid mind that doesn’t depend on sight, sound, touch, flavor, smell or any thought that arises in it. A Bodhisattva should develop a mind that alights nowhere. The mind should be kept independent of any thoughts that arise within it. If the mind depends upon anything, it has no sure haven…When I attained Absolute, Perfect Enlightenment, I attained absolutely nothing. That is why it is called Absolute, Perfect Enlightenment.”

~ Diamond Sutra

Can you use electricity to trick your brain into not feeling pain? – The Verge

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Can you trick your brain into not feeling pain — without medication? We’ve used electricity to do that for centuries, but this method is newly popular again. Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, or TENS, has become far more accessible since it was approved as an over-the-counter treatment by the US Food and Drug Administration about two years ago. Now, with the country in the midst of an opioid epidemic, doctors and patients and medical-device manufacturers are paying more attention to this form of natural pain management. Think of the machines as “using electricity to rub away pain,” says Mark Johnson, a professor of analgesia at Leeds Beckett University in the United Kingdom. TENS devices are portable machines with electrodes. You put the electrodes wherever you have muscle pain, turn on the device, and feel a tingling sensation. The machine sends electrical pulses through your skin and nerves. The electrical pulses do two things: first, it distracts the brain to prevent the pain signals from reaching the brain. Second, it encourages your body to produce more of its own natural painkillers.

The Numerology of today, well It just looks nice. Like a code, some kind of Fibonacci sequence?

The significance of 17 in 2017, The Number 17 in the TAROT is THE STAR

“I am always growing with wisdom and spiritual knowledge.”

The Romantic Victorian Tarot deck

This is a traditional but non-traditional take on the Star. The card is a symbol of joy and hope. Literally wishing on the stars. The star is always VENUS, the wishing star so bright at her Western elongation now in Pisces. Most people think the STAR is a water related card but it is not. It symbolizes AQUARIUS. The Goddess pouring water symbolizes cosmic consciousness. Water is the emotions, the karmic element.

AQUARIUS is a detached air sign of higher consciousness. It is also a symbol of revolution, bucking the system. Anonymous, hackers, freedom fighters. This card signifies seeing beyond the minutiae in your physical…

Shamanic Totem Appearance – Grandmother Spider

“You are the Architect of your life. Express yourself!”

The Spider symbolizes Creativity.  Mother Spider is a very powerful spirit.  Far from the ugly critter image we usually use to depict Her, She is a masterful creator.  The Spider is certainly one of the most talented architects in Nature, and symbolizes art and creativity.  Today, Grandmother Spider is encouraging you to express yourself in a creative form.  It is also reminding you that you are the creator of your life.  We all constantly weave complex mental, emotional and social patterns.  How does your web look?  Clean and structured?  Rough and messy?  Maybe it is time to use your creative power to bring harmony back into your life and focus again on what is important.  As the creator of your reality, you have the power to consciously weave the life of your dreams.  Ask Spider to guide you in this creative process.  As a side note, spiders are also wonderful loving parents.  Some species don’t hesitate to offer their own body so their babies can feed.  This is certainly the ultimate sacrifice a mother could make for her children!  So please, next time you see a spider in your house, don’t kill it.  Thank it for its creative message, and if you don’t want to have it as your guest, then put it gently outside.

It’s time to pull upon your deep inner strength.  It may be that you have pushed away your wild, animalistic desires and impulses for the sake of logic and spirituality.  Strength is urging you to work with that wild part of yourself.  Find a balance between your basic drives and higher aspirations.  You may be surprised to find that getting into your body, whether through exercise, feasting, or sex, actually opens up new spiritual doorways for you and increases your personal power.  If there is conflict in your situation, Strength may be advising you to face your adversary with love and compassion.  Don’t worry:  you’re not giving up, only taming the beast.

Deprogram Yourself: Marijuana’s Long Term Effects On The Brain Finally Revealed!

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

The scientist helped dispel the dying misconception that marijuana usage lowers IQ, and actually offers more evidence to marijuana’s potential role in battling Alzheimer’s. The research study exposed that earlier onset of regular cannabis use causes higher structural and functional connectivity in the brain. The most substantial boosts in connection appear as a specific starts utilizing cannabis, with outcomes showing that the intensity of use is straight associated to greater connectivity.

Although these results will have to be verified with a bigger sample (this was based upon roughly 100 individuals), the initial results do appear promising. More research will need to be done in order to see if these differences are caused by, or merely connected with, long term marijuana usage. They also found decreased gray matter in the OFC (orbitofrontalcortex) in long-term users (which is a brain region connected with addiction). It is unclear whether this area is just smaller sized in routine users (describing their routine use) or if the usage really contributed to structural brain changes. These outcomes will also need to be contrasted with other research showing that cannabinoids in fact promote brain cell development (neurogensis) even in adults.
