Aloha Ke 'Ākua! Māhālo nūi lōa for visiting Nā Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila! We established our Sanctuary for the exploration and awakening of consciousness, the unfolding of our collective creative and healing potential and realisation of our essential Unity. Our teachings arise out of direct experience of awakened awareness and emanates the untamable fragrance of freedom whilst radically embracing the mystery and mess of human existence. Our invitation is for you to open to the fullness of life, to say YES to the totality of your experience and to meet reality with radical compassion. Our doors are an open invitation to all who seek authentic freedom and are willing to meet heart to heart in honest and open inquiry. We were taught that the goal of life is to move through life walking up the mountain of experiences with your Aloha, your Bowl of Light. Life is filled with lessons to learn and teaching moments along the way. When you become angry or jealous, you drop those stones into your bowl of light and those rocks cause leaks in your Mana-sacred power. When your bowl becomes filled with stones, you become a stone that cannot grow. No Aloha! The solution is that at any moment, you can turn your bowl upside down emptying these stones out of your bowl to naturally refill it with YOUR golden light -- your natural Aware and Awakened state of Aloha, your natural state of Divinity. This is the power of Pure Aloha: an Awakened Heart Awakens the Mind. Awakening hinges on your genuine desire for the discovery of your true nature. If it is to flower in you, you must truly want liberation from everything that is false in you, you must want to give yourself totally to the inquiry into what is true beyond all inherited concepts, ideas and beliefs. The purpose of our teachings is to ignite this wanting in you. When the flame of this desire becomes an untamable fire, it flips a switch inside of you and the direction of your destiny is irrevocably altered. It’s like turning on the light only to discover that you are this light. This in itself is extra-ordinary: even though you may have heard the words a thousand times, nothing can prepare you for the naked reality that is revealed. And yet the living experience of this revelation is very ordinary: you have simply re-discovered the innocent wholeness of your essential nature. It’s the you that never was and never will be separate from anything at all. This discovery is the end of suffering and the beginning of freedom. But awakening is just the beginning. The adventure begins, not in the rarified atmosphere of transcendence, but in the midst of the chaos of life. And living the truth of awakening has perhaps never been more of an imperative than in today’s rapidly changing world. The invitation is for you to awaken to the pristine perfection of your inner light and then to fully embody and express this light amidst the mystery and mess of human existence. Come join us!

Recipe ~ Double Chocolate Nutella Toffee Skillet Brownies

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Nutella Skillet Brownies
Yield: 1 10″ Brownie
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Total Time: 40 Minutes

Ingredients:

1/2 cup Butter, melted and cooled
3/4 cup Nutella, or chocolate hazelnut spread
1/2 cup Brown Sugar or Coconut Sugar
1/2 cup Sugar
2 Eggs
1 tsp Vanilla
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Salt
2 cups Flour
2 Tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
1/2 cup Toffee Pieces, like Heath Bits o’ Toffee

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl with a whisk or spatula, butter, Nutella, brown and white sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the flour, salt and baking soda until a batter forms.
Stir in 3/4 of the chocolate chips and 1/4 cup of the toffee pieces.
Spoon the batter into a oven proof skillet, cast iron or stainless steel that has been sprayed with non-stick spray. Even the batter out and press to within 1/2″ of the edges of the skillet – the brownie will spread out, but leave the room between the batter and the sides of the skillet so the edges don’t over cook.
Top with remaining chocolate chips and toffee bits. Place in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are set and a toothpick placed in the middle of the brownie comes out clean.
Let the brownie cool on a wire rack in the skillet until just warm – about 45 minutes. It will still be very soft in the middle, but as it cools, the brownie will set entirely.
Drizzle with additional softened Nutella if desired, or ice cream!

Recipe ~ Vegan Macaroni & Cheese

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila1 Comment

vegan mac cheese

Ingredients

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup earth balance vegan butter (or regular butter)
  • 1/4 cup flour, I used spelt
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • squeeze of lemon
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (not regular baking yeast)
  • 2 tablespoons dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons turmeric
  • 1/4 to 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (to taste), plus a little more on top
  • 8-12 oz elbow pasta, I used this brown rice brand
  • 1 to 1-2 cups pasta water, use a little at a time
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • salt & pepper
crusty topping:
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup chopped pine nuts
  • pinch of cayenne & smoked paprika
  • drizzle of olive oil on top before baking
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat butter in a medium pot over medium heat. Add onions, a few pinches of salt, and simmer until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add flour and whisk to thicken. Add garlic and cook for a few more minutes on medium-low.
  2. Add a good squeeze of lemon and stir to make sure nothing is sticking to the bottom of the pan. Add coconut milk, nutritional yeast, mustard, tomato paste, turmeric, paprika, and a few more pinches of salt. Let simmer, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, cook your pasta.
  3. Optional step – vitamix the sauce together to make the sauce really creamy.
  4. Taste and adjust seasonings. In a large bowl stir together the cooked pasta, some of the sauce, and peas. Stir in pasta water as needed to thin the sauce. You can stop here and serve this now if you like, or continue on to bake it.
  5. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Place everything in a baking dish, add more pasta water and possibly more sauce. This will dry out a little while baking so make sure it’s really creamy first. Add the breadcrumbs, panko, a little more salt, cayenne, and paprika on top. Drizzle with a little bit of olive oil and bake for 8-10 minutes, just until the crust starts to become golden brown. Serve with extra sauce.

Recipe ~ Sweet Pepper Panzanella

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

sweet pepper panzanellaPanzanella: it’s your excuse to eat bread and call it salad!

Ingredients

2-3 sweet peppers (red and/or yellow)
olive oil
sherry vinegar (or balsamic or white wine vinegar)
pinch of sweet or smoked paprika
toasted stale bread, rubbed w/ olive oil & garlic
1 cup cherry tomatoes
1-2 leaves of kale, torn
1/2 cup little mozzarella balls
1/4 cup chunky pickled onions (see below)
handful of torn basil
salt & pepper
pickled onions:
1 small red onion, sliced into thick strips
white wine vinegar (enough to fill the jar of onions)
a few pinches of cane sugar and salt

Instructions

For the pickled onions: (make in advance) pickle your onions by shaking all ingredients together in a jar. Chill until for at least an hour, or up to days (or weeks, really) in advance.


Slice cherry tomatoes and toss them with a splash of olive oil, a splash of sherry vinegar, salt, pepper.


Drizzle olive oil on your stale bread and toast (or grill) it until golden. While it’s still warm, rub it with a sliced clove of garlic, then slice it into bite sized pieces.


De-seed and slice your peppers into thick strips. Sautée them in a pan with olive oil until soft and lightly blistered. (you could also do this on a grill). Remove from heat, drizzle with a little sherry vinegar and a pinch of paprika.


Toss all salad ingredients together so that the juices from the tomatoes and the peppers create a light dressing. Drizzle with a little more olive oil. Taste, and add more salt and pepper to your liking. Let it sit for at least 10 minutes or so for the bread to soak up the juices. Serve at room temp.

Notes

Instead of pickled onions, you can also cook onions with your peppers. Use a yellow onion instead of a red one.

Vegan option:  skip the cheese

Yield: serves 3-4 as a side

Resonance/Cymatics ~ The Six Tones of Creation

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

small waterfall

Sleep or meditate with these frequencies playing.  These Solfeggio frequencies make up the sacred Solfeggio scale:

UT — 396 Hz
Intent: turning grief into joy, liberating guilt & fear

This frequency liberates the energy and has beneficial effects on feelings of guilt. It cleanses the feeling of guilt, which often represents one of the basic obstacles to realization, enabling achievement of goals in the most direct way. The ‘Ut’ tone releases you from the feeling of guilt and fear by bringing down the defense mechanisms. 396 Hz frequency searches out hidden blockages, subconscious negative beliefs, and ideas that have led to your present situations.

RE — 417 Hz
Intent: undoing situations and facilitating change

The next main tone from the Solfeggio scale produces energy to bring about change. This frequency cleanses traumatic experiences and clears destructive influences of past events. When speaking of cellular processes, tone ‘Re’ encourages the cell and its functions in an optimal way. 417 Hz frequency puts you in touch with an inexhaustible source of energy that allows you to change your life.

MI — 528 Hz
Intent: transformation and miracles (DNA repair)

Tone ‘Mi’ is used to return human DNA to its original, perfect state. This frequency brings transformation and miracles into your life. The process of DNA reparation is followed by beneficial effects — increased amount of life energy, clarity of mind, awareness, awakened or activated creativity, ecstatic states like deep inner peace, dance and celebration. Tone ‘Mi’ activates your imagination, intention and intuition to operate for your highest and best purpose.

FA — 639 Hz
Intent: re-connecting and balancing, relationships

Another frequency from the sacred Solfeggio scale. It enables creation of harmonious community and harmonious interpersonal relationships. Tone ‘Fa’ can be used for dealing with relationships problems — those in family, between partners, friends or social problems. When talking about cellular processes, 639 Hz frequency can be used to encourage the cell to communicate with its environment. This ancient Solfeggio frequency enhances communication, understanding, tolerance and love.

SOL — 741 Hz
Intent: solving problems, expressions/solutions

It cleans the cell (“Solve polluti”) from the toxins. Frequent use of 741 Hz leads to a healthier, simpler life, and also to changes in diet towards foods which are not poisoned by various kinds of toxins. Tone ‘Sol’ cleans the cell from different kinds of electromagnetic radiations. Another application of this sound frequency is solving problems of any nature. The fifth frequency of the Solfeggio scale will also lead you into the power of self-expression, which results in a pure and stable life.

Do you remember how wonderful it felt to be a child? Adventure was our only calling, and courage seemed never ending. And subsequently, we seemed to enjoy our life so much more. Incorporate your younger self back into the joy of your daily being.

Life is more fun if you play games!

 

YOGIC SECRETS OF MAGNETISM SERIES ~ JAI DEV SINGH

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

glistening roseThe chakra teachings are very profound…yet, they can also be very simple:

How your mind operates on a daily basis is largely determined by where your life-force is concentrated within your body.

When this pranic life-force is excessively concentrated in the lower centers of the psyche, the mind tends to be emotional and commotional. Regardless of your better intentions, you struggle to overcome old and destructive habits. Lower instincts dominate our behavior.

In this day and age, if we are left to our ‘default settings’, the prana tends to concentrate excessively in these lower centers. Thus, the vast majority of human beings are operating from an emotional/commotional energetic space, pulled by the tide of the status quo, mesmerized by the pleasures of normalcy.

On the other hand, if the prana is able to lift and distribute itself throughout your being, the mind is able to operate from intelligence, intuition and guidance. It is as if you’ve activated an internal GPS system of the soul.

You begin to project a brightness that carries you. The lower instincts are guided by an elevated intelligence. You organically move in the direction of your higher destiny and your organism is filled with a deep sense of somatic bliss.

When the pranic environment transforms, it’s as if you are viewing the world through an entirely new and vast lens.

Problems that used to seem enormous, are now simply insignificant. What used to throw you off your rocker no longer has the strength to bother you. Everything changes, and life becomes supremely enjoyable.

Click below to watch the second video in our training series, and begin to experience the realm of the heightened pranic environment.

Golden Dreams

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

dawn over egyptOur dream is to build a Spiritual retreat for those with nowhere else to go. Hundreds of acres with a place to eat, rest, to use the facilities, to shower and get clean clothes. Where judgment is not in the vocabulary and oneness abounds. A self sustaining, Spiritual Center with a restaurant, food kitchen; donation facility; classrooms to teach healing, wellness, yoga, meditation; an exercise room; a storm shelter; an orchard; an organic garden area; a park setting with secluded cottages for retreats. A form of “heaven on Earth” so to speak. And we would like to travel the world and start these places everywhere so no person ever goes hungry or without ever again.  One day it will happen!

Ayurveda ~ The Divine Projection

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment
woda-13
Everybody is projecting something to those around them. Everyone has a presence that communicates to their environment.

 

In each and every moment you are creating a unique projection, and therefore a unique attraction.

 

We now know that there are three magnetic powers of the human being that will either give you energy, radiance and bliss…or those same powers can produce anxiety, anger and depression.

 

Whatever is happening inside is what is ultimately projecting outside. Your beauty, your radiance and your prosperity can expand. It is completely within your capacity.

 

In the latest video of our series, I unpack the science of pranic projection, the heightened expression of the elements, and the profound gravity of the heart center.

Juicing Medicinal Raw Cannabis Healed This Woman!

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila1 Comment

At The Halau, we have been recommending juicing RAW CANNABIS to those individuals whose health conditions would benefit from cananbis treatment without the body “high”.  RAW cannabis is non-psychoactive, meaning it will not get you high because it has not been subjected to incendiary high heat.  Raw cannabis significantly assists the human body with immune modulation and provides anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-tumor/ anti-cancer, pain-relieving, anti-diabetic, antispasmodic, anti-anxiety relief and so much more!

Meditation on The Template ~ Original Innocence

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila1 Comment

The Ceremony of Original Innocence takes us back to our first choice, prior to our first breath, reminding us of our true identity – creators rather than victims.

The key to this shift in perception is forgiveness, the bedrock of the shamanic journey. To embrace forgiveness is to embody the living mandala of love, upon which is based the fundamental Human ethic, acknowledging your “response-ability” within the interconnectedness of all creation.

Although it is possible to be born with the Water Circuits connected they are almost always disrupted by guilt, regret and anger. Reconnecting these circuits clears these negative emotions, liberating relationships from destructive patterns.

The reconnection of the Thymus Circuit activates the T-cells of the immune system. This has a powerful effect on health.

With the reconnection of the Air Circuits, the pineal-hypothalamus-pituitary complex is revitalised, as the pineal is now enabled to receive the full spectrum of the geometric language of light.

Recipe ~ Nutella and Banana French Toast Roll-Ups

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi Lanakila1 Comment

nutella_and_banana_french_toast_rollups1These french toast roll ups are stuffed with one of the best flavor combinations out there – banana and nutella.  They’re just sweet enough to eat by themselves, but you can always sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar or drizzle some syrup over the top if you want to go over the top.

 ingredients:

  • white bread – 10 slices, crusts removed
  • nutella – about 1 cup
  • bananas – 2, cut into 10 strips
  • eggs – 1, large
  • milk – 2 tbsp
  • vanilla – 1/2 tsp
  • butter – 2 tbsp

how to:

  • Roll each slice of bread very thin with a rolling pin.  Spread each slice with a generous amount of Nutella – covering one side completely.  Place a strip of banana at one end and roll the bread up tightly.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk and vanilla until combined and set aside.
  • Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat.  Dredge each roll through the egg and milk mix, then cook on all sides in the hot butter until golden brown.
  • Serve while hot.

Ayurveda ~ Cultivating the Power of True Beauty

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment
buddha
The pathway to beauty, prosperity and vitality are interwoven paths.

 

Unfortunately, far too many people are depleting their vitality in an attempt to create a sense of beauty. True beauty, true magnetism and true prosperity require vitality.

 

However, this is not an ordinary type of vitality. It’s a vitality that draws out the strength of your character, it draws out your virtures, it draws out your radiance.

 

This attractive power is profound. The first person that will be attracted to you is YOU.

 

When you experience your own magnetic power, the entire creation starts to become attracted to you. Opportunities arise from every direction and a steady stream of prosperity flows into the ocean of your life.

 

Yesterday, we released a brand new free video training that unpacks the art and science of beauty, prosperity and radiance.  Follow the link below to get access. Enjoy the teachings.

Cosmology ~ Sirius Rising ~ July 22, 2014

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

constellations-siriusOn the morn of July 22, in the tradition of the ancients …

(or there about for different parts of the world go to  http://astro.unl.edu/classaction/animations/ancientastro/heliacalrisingsim.html  to calculate for your part of the world — e.g., in Dandridge Tennessee, Sirius rises on July 31,2014)

… the star Sirius rises before our sun, it is a helical rising issuing a declaration that the ‘ATLANTEAN, EGYPTIAN, and SIRIAN NEW YEAR’ has begun.

The heliacal rising of a star occurs when it first becomes visible above the eastern horizon, for a single moment just before sunrise. Each day after the heliacal rising, the star will rise slightly earlier and remain visible for longer before the light from the rising sun makes it disappear. The same star will reappear in the eastern sky at dawn approximately one year after its previous heliacal rising. Because the heliacal rising depends on the observation of the object, its exact timing can be dependent on weather conditions.

Sirius rising is a doorway of unparalleled opportunity to swim forward on the stellar surge of light that precedes the daylight. Sirius has been honored since ancient times. In Atlantis, the mysteries were created on information received from the Sirian Star Masters. After the third fall of Atlantis, the Sirian mysteries spread into ancient Egypt. As early as 3000 BC the Egyptians started celebrating the helical rising of the star Sirius declaring this the New Year as the Nile flooded its banks in the time of the great lion, in the month of Leo.

Sirius is the home of Cosmic Christ for this entire Galaxy. It has ‘always’ been a spiritual prototype for Earth. As the rays from Sirius arc onto earth via the sun, we have another opportunity to activate the Cosmic Christ seed within. The little solar jewels that are dormant DNA encodings, wait for stellar emanations to open sealed cellular files. When Sirius rises in your part of the world go out before dawn and look to the east. Whether cloudy or dark seen or unseen, the star Sirius will rise to meet you energetically. It is in the quiet times in-between words and thoughts that you will find the key that unlocks what has been unseen until now. Go outside, face east, and allow the pre-dawn energies to enter you. Ask to be released of all that no longer serves you and be filled in completion with that which serves your highest soul path and spiritual evolution.

Visualize the emanations and radiance of Sirius coming forth into your earth Heart from your star heart. Sirius gives you the gift of the ‘cycles of Time’, reconnecting all sacred spaces through time and space, on and off planet. The tone of creation sounds in every cell of your body on earth and cycles through all 144 levels of your light. Announcing to long lost parts of earth to arise from a deep sleep into full alertness. Without the help of humans, the light from deep space, far off galaxies and event horizons would just continue to travel endlessly without ever stopping. Light needs you as much as you need light; it is a symbiotic relationship, sacredly arranged.

GENERAL PLANETARY INFLUENCES 21-27.7.2014

Again quite a busy week with more planetary movement, as the Sun moves into Leo, at the end of the week Mars changes signs, and Saturn begins travelling direct again, so quite a lot going on.

The Sun finishes it’s journey through emotional, caring, sensitive Cancer. On Wednesday it moves into commanding, distinguished, extravagant, organized Leo, with a need to feel more in control of our lives.

The Moon starts the week in defensive, possessive, security conscious Taurus. On Tuesday it moves into talkative, impulsive, flirtatious Gemini. On Friday the Moon moves again into caring, emotional, defensive & sensitive Cancer. On Sunday it moves into domineering, exuberant, melodramatic Leo, finishing the week there.

Mercury remains in ingenious, intuitive, compassionate & responsive Cancer.

Meditation ~ How to Reprogram Your Subconscious Mind However You Wish

The conscious mind can effectively change the subconscious mind with persistence and as long as one does not fight the very changes they are trying to make.  When we try to make changes to our subconscious mind or our belief structure, we are usually doing so in direct opposition to the patterns and programming already instilled there.  Therefore our mind is still working from the old programming in a certain sense.  We must then overcome this inherent tendency.  This is where persistence comes in.  If you imagine that the subconscious mind and/or each belief is like a block of stone and you are a sculptor, every day, you chip away at the block of stone in the formation of your new reality/programming/beliefs.  After a while, the new statue is created, in stone (permanently), in your subconscious mind.  By spending time each day affirming our new beliefs/programming, we can successfully change our lives and our reality.

However, we must also get out of our own way during the practice.  We do this by 1) setting aside a set time (5-10 min max) to work on planting the seeds of our new programming/beliefs.  This is focused, meditative time where we repeat this new programming/belief/affirmation to ourselves at the deepest level.  2) Once this process is completed, we let go completely of all attachment to outcomes and desired results.  We then go about life simply letting it unfold as it may, letting our new programming/beliefs/affirmations filter into our subconscious mind.  In this way we do not over analyze the process and unconsciously fight any changes we are trying to make.  When we obsess over, doubt, or question the process we are engaged in, we end up neutralizing its effectiveness.

We have also found that certain affirmations are far more powerful than what is typically presented in books or about the internet, but this is the subject of another article.  In the meantime, we recommend following your intuitive guidance as you do this work, as this is our method of developing these more powerful affirmations.  Practicing these techniques regularly you will find a natural evolution of the new programming/beliefs/affirmations you are using.  Follow this, as it is leading you exactly where you need to go.

Energywork ~ Balancing and Fortifying Our Energy System

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

basics

Do you carry a general tiredness or get overwhelmed more quickly than ever before? Is it challenging to focus or to remain still? Are there abrupt mood changes, a sense of paranoia, disconnectedness, brain frazzle? Do you feel swollen, inflamed or with unexplained heating up?

We are all enduring immense cellular transformation that is speeding up our entire atomic structure.  This quickening is affecting every system in our body, being especially noticeable in the nerves, the hormonal pathways and the immune system. The body is working overtime to both clear releasing toxicities while transitioning the biological system to a brand new frequency attunement.

The signposts are indeed indicating greater levels of planetary upheaval, potentially causing more pressure upon our sensitive, changing bodies. The more that I talk with other light servers, I am discovering that many of us are with body pains, tiredness and rising conditions of all types and scale.

It is important to remember that our entire cellular structure is changing as new electromagnetic impulses are constantly entering. As we increase our vibration, we simultaneously detoxify from the old framework, no matter how advanced our conscious understandings are.

This purification deepens as we go and is a natural part of the experience. With this comes periods of fatigue as our body is constantly recalibrating, while making its gradual transition into a more efficient blueprint and upgraded frequency.

There is critical need to give the body our highest priority to bring as much ease as possible to our biological shift. We can greatly assist it along by paying very close attention to its changing requirements.

This includes new choices in food, different supplementation, always more rest, more play and simple beingness, which is a constant doorknocker for me as well.

There are really no hard and fast rules anymore as to what brings increased energy vibration. It’s happening to everyone and now, it’s merely a matter of keeping our physical vehicles healthy enough to keep up. So much depends upon the personal blueprint and our ability to listen to what the body wants.

For example, having been a vegetarian for years, recently my body wanted some crabmeat and dairy to supply it with certain amino acids and protein sequences. It’s been super strange for me psychologically, but my body is feeling in much greater vitality.

Take Precious Care of our Biological Upgrade

With a much greater amplitude of energy running through the body, the nervous system and its neurological activity have a tendency to get overloaded as these higher frequencies of light try to incorporate.

If proper integration is not taken to rest the body from the outer “hustle bustle”, neural circuitry can get majorly stressed and potentially fracture causing a cascade of internal challenges.

Just like a car, any weakening in the engine starts really subtle. The messages, however, are always there and it takes a constantly “tuning in” to our body partner.

Don’t forget too, the ego mind complex is disintegrating and our thoughts are adjusting to brand new perceptions of thinking. This can also cause subtle imbalances affecting the brain waves. It is important to keep ourselves in check, monitoring and adjusting as we go, so that the mind does not get stuck in looping feedback.

The endocrine system, which regulates our physiological functioning through hormones, is currently undergoing a huge upgrade as well. It may experience tremendous energy overloads as it constantly attempts to maintain a state of homeostasis in the body’s metamorphic processes.

Glandular activity can be erratic, causing various effects in body chemicals and triggering internal agitation. If we are not fully grounded in our body, this can result in adrenal and mental burn out, frazzled energy, mind confusion and a long list of reactive emotional states. (More belly laughing is a must.)

Build Immunity to Release new DNA

Un-integrated energy overload weakens the body’s entire system of immunity, which sets up an environment for increased infection and invading germs. This causes unneeded adversity such as more colds, feeling run down, viral conditions and inflammatory responses, to name just a few.  Strong immune systems help activate and release new DNA encodement.

Consider that the stem cells that form our blood are born and reach maturity in the bone marrow. Once these cells are mature, they are released into the blood stream where they travel throughout the body preventing infection and supplying needed oxygen and life force energy.

We house a lot of new DNA encodement inside these cells deep in the marrow. If we have healthy immune systems, we have healthy bone marrow and our blood is fortified with more light expanding programs to positively affect all other systems.

This is why it is absolutely crucial that we spend more time building and amplifying our entire system of immunity and to keep it invincibly strong.
