Atītaṃ nānusocanti,
nappajappanti nāgataṃ,
paccuppannena yāpenti,
tena vaṇṇo pasīdati.
They do not lament over the past,
they yearn not for what is to come,
they maintain themselves in the present,
thus their complexion is serene.

Discover how to hack your nervous system and de-stress your life.
IMPORTANT: Our Health is the most important part of our life as we discover when we are without it and in any sort of physical pain. Pain is very real and it feels very bad. We all agree we don’t like pain. Our bodies heal themselves. Good Idea to have a body that heals itself. Vagus nerve is the system to learn to heal your body with your mind and your other mind. You will see when you look at the larger body and learn to rest so time will allow your body to restore.

I’ve made some rather strange and unexpected decisions that fall outside of the social and economic norms of our 21st century. The American Dream, at least for me, is dead… and in a way, I may be loosely following the Cynic dream instead. I say loosely because the Cynics of Ancient Greece were a very radical group. […]

The biggest problem with intuition is recognizing it, when you have it, and ultimately learning to trust it. Many people hear that little voice talking to them, but go ahead and proceed with their plans without heeding it. This gives way to the famous saying that “Hindsight is 20/20”, but it never really does you much good to acknowledge those gut feelings after the fact, while smacking yourself in the head and yelling “I knew It!”
Currently, the Sun, Neptune, and Mercury are all in the intuitive sign of Pisces, but Mercury which rules thinking is in its shadow phase and preparing to retrograde in four days. Bear in mind Pisces is also known for dreaming and wishful thinking and fantasizing, all well and good, if you can keep your reality sorted. In other words, do not try to convince yourself of something which is really your dream, rather than…

Lyrics:
people tell me sell me potions, notions, or success and fortune
who are they to tell me?
who are they to tell me?
i could fake it just to make it
give a promise just to break it
who are they to tell me?
maybe if i only gave away the part of me, heart of me
just enough to start something
ain’t nothing keep judging
i wont compromise (i wont)
i wont say goodbye (i wont)
to dreams i had since i was five
you could never make me
i wont compromise (i wont)
i wont apologize
i don’t care if you’re satisfied
never gonna change me
they all roll their eyes and try shut me, cut me down to size
but trust me they don’t even know me
they don’t even know me
i don’t need to justify the way i live my life is mine
so who are you to tell me?
who are you to tell me?
i owe you the part of me, heart of me
just enough to start something
ain’t nothing keep judging
i wont compromise (i wont)
i wont say goodbye (i wont)
to dreams i had since i was five
you could never make me
i wont compromise (i wont)
i wont apologize
i don’t care if you’re satisfied
never gonna change me
never gonna change me
never gonna change me
never gonna change me
no no no no no
oh you’re never gonna change me
never gonna change me
i wont compromise, no
i wont compromise
i wont compromise, no
hey ya (i wont) alright (i wont) i wont compromise, no
i wont compromise ( i wont)
i wont say goodbye (i wont)
to dreams i had since i was five
you could never make me
i wont compromise (i wont)
i wont apologize (i wont)
i don’t care if you’re satisfied
never gonna change me
never gonna change me
never gonna change me
never gonna change me
no no no no no
oh you’re never gonna change me
you’re never gonna change me
i wont compromise, no

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, debilitating joint condition characterized by degeneration of cartilage. The early stages of OA feature synovial inflammation caused by sustained high levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which can be triggered by mechanical strain or age-related oxidative stress. Treatment options aim to reduce pain and improve function but do not affect disease progression. Some pharmacologic therapies, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, can cause side effects, and their long-term use poses safety concerns. LI73014F2 is a synergistic formulation of the extracts of chebulic myrobalan (Terminalia chebula, Combretaceae) fruit, turmeric (Curcuma longa, Zingiberaceae) rhizome, and boswellia (Boswellia serrata, Burseraceae) gum resin, which are used to treat inflammatory disorders in Ayurvedic medicine, in a 2:1:2 ratio. These authors conducted a placebo-controlled, double-blind trial to assess the clinical efficacy of two different doses of LI73014F2 on pain, joint stiffness, and mobility in patients with OA.
LI73014F2 was…

A person with good eyes,
encountering a treacherous, uneven place,

A wise person, in the world of life,
should avoid evil deeds.

Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Mercury retrograde begins on 5 March. Use these days before that event to tie up loose ends, check suppliers for projects, and verify whatever you are instinctively drawn to review.
Nothing says “fun” quite as well as homemade marshmallows. These fluffy treats are easy to make, and a hit with kids both big and small. And, if you’re a s’mores lover, homemade marshmallows yield sort of a crème brulee texture when toasted.
Homemade Marshmallows
3 packages Knox unflavored gelatin
12 oz. granulated sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
¼ teaspoon Kosher salt
1 cup water, divided (use bottled water if your tap water is poor quality)
Confectioners’ sugar for dusting (warning: there is a lot of dusting)
Using a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil, lightly oil the inside of a 9×13 Pyrex pan and dust well with confectioners’ sugar on all sides. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine ½ cup water and gelatin. Mix together until well incorporated.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine ½ cup water, sugar, corn syrup and salt…

Ah! ‘Tis the season…Mercury retrograde season that is. We are only six days away from Mercury beginning its first retrograde of 2019. The little trickster signals the end of our retrograde-free zone which began back on January 7. And, with its retrograde and shadow periods, many of you have that barrage of people from your past who seem to show up like a bad stalker. Of course, I am partly kidding, it can often herald the return of people you miss.
When we see the 6 of Cups it can bring up fond memories of childhood and bygone days. Why not spend your Hump Day catching up with an old acquaintance over lunch or coffee. If weather permits, take off your shoes, go wiggle them in the grass, and take time out to stop and smell the roses.
See you here tomorrow!

Our King of Swords today possesses the mental clarity to go forth and cut right through all of the bs, in order to get the job done. This is a very organizational mode, and great for clearing away any cluttered areas of your life. Rather than being ruled by emotional attachments, the King of Swords relies upon his intellect to help him see his projects through to fruition.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, this guy can be one of the most vile people you have ever met, the narcissist, the bully, always demeaning and critical of everything. If there is such a person in your midst, do not give him, or her, the time of day. Trying to prove them wrong only feeds their ego. Block and delete; do not engage. If you do not entertain their nonsense, they will move on and find someone else to bother.

When feeling lost, it is not as much an absence of direction, but an inability to be soothed and made secure by our known ideas, beliefs, and viewpoints. To be lost is about losing our way. This doesn’t mean we’ve strayed off course, but veered into the direction of a grander plan. When rooted in ego, there is a tendency to feel as if we’ve gone astray in our journey whenever heading in a direction that may differ from our personal desires. It’s not as if such desires won’t be fulfilled, but the journey required to become the one who is worthy and able to receive the grace of our desires may initially look like a path steering us away from it.
With fires, mud slides, hurricanes and harsh weather clearing away outdated paradigms, many are feeling the despair of bewilderment, as known reference points get shaken up to create space for new realities, perspectives, and miracles to surface. Just as there are cycles of grief when mourning the loss of our closest friends and relatives, in our own unique way, each of us are purging the losses of our known realities, as we courageously step forward into exciting new frontiers. It doesn’t mean the things we desire are long gone, or that any degree of hope must be laid to rest. Instead, the fading away of the old is an opportunity to release the way in which the outcomes we desire most find their way to us. Whenever overwhelmed by loss, feeling unsafe without the comfort of known ideas, or unable to foresee how things can positively play out, please repeat the following mantra, either silently or out loud: “I accept I will always get everything I desire, no matter how my journey unfolds.”
Such a mantra instills us with the vibrations of faith, harmony, and patience to allow the Universe to be the cosmic storyteller of our life’s journey, instead of narrated by the insufferable criticisms and projections of ego. May we allow the old realities that are dissolving to be offered heartfelt farewells; grateful for all the gifts they provided as building blocks for an emerging 5D reality.
May we nurture the innocence in our hearts that may require more time and space to release the old, while stepping forward in service to assist those displaced by the fierce grace of our ever-changing environment. May we allow any degree of fear to be transformed into vibrations of passion and enthusiasm by remembering, “I will always get everything I desire, no matter how my journey unfolds.”
Ultimately, we come to realize the inner and outer fires that burn away outdated creations to make space for brand new realities are the light of our eternal consciousness. At whatever pace we are destined to see it, may we realize ourselves to be the light of consciousness and not the things any circumstance can change. This is one of the most potent reasons why we suffer as a result of the changes in our ongoing evolution. To be melted by the heat of each adversity is a way of softening the edges of our harshest viewpoints, so we come to see, “I am the fire, not the things being burnt by it.” You can burn objects within a fire, but the fire cannot be burned, just as waves can topple anything in the ocean except the ocean itself.
Dear beloved soul family, now is the time to become the metaphorical fire of change burning away outdated paradigms through the courageous choices we dare to make. Be the ocean that cannot be drowned by the impact of any wave by bringing our inner depth of wisdom to the forefront of each daily interaction. When life seems dark, we accept the invitation to dive deeper into our greatness than ever before — only to come out the other end as the dream come true reality we were born to be.
Please enjoy this deeply-healing newsletter as we dare to remember — no matter the circumstances in view, the Universe always has a plan for each and every one of us.
