Living with discernment, one’s life is called best.

Health | The Cause of Alzheimer’s Could Be Coming From Inside Your Mouth

It’s not just a disease.

In recent years, a growing number of scientific studies have backed an alarming hypothesis: Alzheimer’s disease isn’t just a disease, it’s an infection.

While the exact mechanisms of this infection are something researchers are still trying to isolate, numerous studies suggest the deadly spread of Alzheimer’s goes way beyond what we used to think.  […]

Mother Mary’s message for you

I will support you in every way you need me to. Everything comes to life via the vitality that I provide. I am the love that fills your heart, so I always have room for you in my arms of compassion. Today, I strongly encourage you to establish a connection with the holy feminine. By doing so, you will discover that you have the ability to cure not just yourself but also everyone with whom you come into touch.

 

Look out for a new person or someone you already know who is very in touch with their feminine side. You see, they will help you improve both your emotional and your physical health in a complementary manner. During this time, you can count on me to be there for you just as I have always been in the past!

What you need to know

In order to unlock the full potential of your feminine energy, you must first learn how to tap into your feminine essence. Just bear in mind that there is no correlation between gender and the amount of male and female energy we possess inside ourselves.

 

A growing number of people are searching for ways to tap into the divine feminine energy that permeates all things, as our world has grown more and more male-dominated. You are protected and adored to the furthest extent, so it is okay to be yourself. Do not be frightened to express yourself and to let go of your inhibitions!

Prayer for healing

Visualise a stunning woman by your side. Look at her as you feel her peaceful, feminine power. This figure depicts a real-life person with whom you will have a conversation. Grasp on to the concept that you will soon be able to interact with them and discover all that you can about them.

 

When you’re fully prepared, say the following, “As much as I cherish my own internal radiance, I honour the fire in others. Please assist me to engage with the holy feminine as I pray that it lives inside me forever via the compassion of Our Lady. Let this happen now and forever!”

Daily Words of the Buddha for November 12, 2022

Sace labhetha nipakaṃ sahāyaṃ
saddhiṃ caraṃ sādhuvihāridhīraṃ,

If for company you find a wise and prudent friend
who leads a good life,
you should, overcoming all impediments,
keep their company joyously and mindfully.

What you need to know

Assure yourself that Our Lady’s blessing is only bestowed when you are ready to receive it. Do be prepared though to have moments when you question whether or not you are ready for what is being requested of you when the blessing begins its work.  Sometimes you might wonder whether or not you are capable of coping with whatever is going on without your world collapsing totally.

 

Have confidence that you will triumph, though, thanks to the love of Our Lady Of Blessing Bestowed. Of course,things won’t always be easy and that’s okay. Just have faith that if you feel that things are difficult, it’s an indication that you are maturing and moving on from a history that no longer serves your soul’s long-term interests.

Prayer for healing

The beauty of this specific blessing is that it comes at exactly the perfect time. And, it’s not at all necessary for you to even be aware that a blessing is taking place for it to do its purpose. Mother Mary works in mysterious ways that we don’t need to understand to gain her rewards.

 

An excellent prayer to offer up to her is, “I approach the grace and gifts that Our Lady bestows upon me with a heart that is completely open and prepared to be full to bursting with joy. As I proceed along the pathway of compassion, tolerance and love, I am bringing myself more into sync with the universe. As I show grace and affection to everybody I come into contact with, I am able to acknowledge the gifts that have been provided to me!”

Matt Kahn | All For Love

As the first winds and rains of the stormy Pacific Northwest autumn begin to roll in, I sat down to write this and connect with each of you. This is what wishes to be shared today…

I welcome you with love in honor of how brightly each of us is shining and for the incredible contribution of heart-centered consciousness you offer our world just by being the One that you are. As we assemble in unity, let us explore the importance of a specific spiritual practice that offers individual relief, while also expanding the power of transformation throughout our world on a collective level. Whether the following words feel like revisiting an old friend, or offer renewed depth and breadth to an existing spiritual practice, it is not a mistake or coincidence that the following insight has found its way to you. Perhaps in this moment this is the very wisdom you are meant to consider:

While humanity can appear to be divided on many topics and levels, there is no justification for abuse, mistreatment, intolerance, or cruelty. For those who are witnesses of personal or global atrocity, we can help reverse the karmic cycle by praying for the healing of those who hurt others, as well those who have been hurt instead of solely condemning the actions of the emotionally broken.

As we view through the eyes of One eternal heart, we come to see how condemning the insidious actions of perpetrators doesn’t help anyone, including their victims to heal. When we condemn, it acts as a trauma response attempting to soothe our most frightened parts by searching for some semblance of control, or “trying to make sense of things” during moments when life feels like it has been flipped upside down.

While anger can be used to justify the condemning of those who derive strength and power from disempowering others, it can equally be used to fuel each prayer with greater intention and magnified power. By praying for each victim and perpetrator, it supports the redemption of each victim, while helping to transform predatory behavior on a vibrational level.

Such a contribution of healing is never a replacement for the efforts of social change. Rather, it’s an added potent dose of energetic expansion in support of the community and global level groundwork continually being set in motion.

When engaged on a regular basis, the profound act of prayer helps move humanity forward to co-create a world beyond the veil of division; where we no longer require expressions of darkness to inspire our light to shine.

Whether you are able to pray for all sides, or resonate more with focusing on victims instead of including perpetrators, each and every prayer always counts and matters. As a way of embracing our role as anchors of unity consciousness, may we take this moment to say a prayer to manifest healing for all sentient beings:

“Dear Beloved Universe, thank you for healing unconscious patterning and memories of trauma so to transmute and resolve each cycle of abuse, predatory behavior, each layer of emotional pain, all levels of mental instability and unconsciousness for the greater good of Mother Earth. By the power of Source Energy, may all be transformed by the power of love, allowing each person to respect themselves and the sovereignty of every heart — in honor of the awakening Divine I AM. And so it is.

All for Love,
