Habitat: Marjoram is an aromatic herb in the mint family which originated in Egypt and Arabia. It is also widely referred to as Oregano. Today, it is commonly found in the Mediterranean region or grown in gardens around the world. Marjoram is often treated as an annual (even though it is a perennial) because it is so sensitive to freezing temperatures that can cause death or…
According to a new study, when women live in nature they live longer. The confirmed hypothesis of a research is that natural environments help reduce the stress and increase physical and social activity, which keeps people healthier. The main purpose of this study was to get insights on the relationship between “residential greenness and mortality.
The research was conducted on 108,630 women between 2000 and 2008. Of those women, 8,604 died during the study. Factors such as age, race, smoking, and socioeconomic status were taking into consideration during this study, and they found that women living with the most greenery in the 250m area near their homes “had a 12% lower rate of all-cause-non-accidental mortality”.
The conclusion of the research was that high levels of green vegetation have a contribution in decreasing mortality rates for women. These results are quite important in modern times since more and more people are living in urban areas. However, there is a question that still arises: why less greenery means less social activity?
One answer would be that nowadays people spend a lot of time in their car or behind a computer monitor. Less physical and social activity could potentially lead to depression. From now on, just think about this: how much time do you spend outside every day? If you wish to live a healthy and happy life, try to surround yourself with nature every day.

It is a common hardy plant that easily grows in cropland and fallow fields, lawns and gardens, areas adjacent to buildings, and in waste areas. It prefers partial to full sun, moist to mesic conditions, and moderately fertile loam or clay loam soils. It tolerates light shade and temporary flooding, and while it can be found to some extent in natural areas, it prefers areas that have been disturbed.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder found in women of childbearing age. The main underlying disordered metabolism issues in PCOS are insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism. Characteristic manifestations can include irregular or infrequent or no menses, infertility, hirsutism, hair loss, and weight gain. Underlying mechanisms can be addressed that can then dramatically alter the current issues as well as reduce the long term risks for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and uterine cancer. Many symptoms can be managed with lifestyle changes that include weight loss for those patients who are overweight or obese, and regular aerobic and strength training exercise, as well as conventional pharmaceuticals such as oral contraceptives, metformin effects, and spironolactone. The literature is now quite robust with natural agents that lower androgens in women with PCOS and improve insulin resistance. Chamomile (Matricaria recutita syn. M. chamomilla, Asteraceae) flowers are used to treat anxiety, insomnia, digestive ailments, hay fever, and painful menstruation. Chamomile…
Like the idea of growing your own medicinal plants? Look no further than your windowsill or patio garden for these four standbys of ours: lemon balm, sage thyme, and peppermint. These herbs are familiar to us from grandma’s recipes and as lyrics in songs, but they may be less familiar as medicine. Lemon balm, also known as “hearts delight” and the “gladdening” herb, has long been treasured for its ability to soothe the nerves and uplift the spirit. An old Arabian proverb says that “balm makes the heart merry and joyful.” From ancient times, though, sage was used for digestive troubles, heartburn, depression, and even dementia. Thyme is excellent for treating sore throats and bronchitis. Make thyme tea with honey to soothe those colds and coughs. And women listen up, for bloating and digestive issues associated with our monthly cycle thyme is an excellent soother and diuretic. Another great herb for digestion…
When you initially start out the practice of Forgiveness daily, at first you might think you will run out of people to forgive or to ask forgiveness from.
But it turns out that it is an ongoing process.
So here is the practice: close your eyes and visualize the person who wronged you or who you wronged. Ask for forgiveness and then forgive them.
Every time you do this you will experience heat and vibration right under your heart, near your stomach and it will feel like a Knot has been untied every time you forgive. These knots cause blockages of energy flow and of breath.
The more knots you untie the more freedom you will experience.
It takes psychic energy to hold a grudge.
Forgive everyone for everything.
These knots are not needed. Let the energy flow easily through you!
If you only knew where your current situation is taking you, you would be celebrating and saying thank you. Every single thing is working in your favor. Even the things that might disturb your peace is teaching you to come back to your center. All and any changes you’re experiencing is expanding and refining your spirit to trust more, to believe, to let go, to surrender, and also to welcome. You can forget this when you’re in the moment. You can forget that you are living what you thought, felt, and spoke into existence. You might not even realize on a subtle level why things are happening the way they are till you look back and smile to realize you needed that for your evolution. You needed that for your clarity and peace. You needed that to reach new heights. That’s all every situation is. The point is to keep reminding yourself when you are caught up in the midst of things that everything is working out for you. Pay attention to the pattens of your life. Look back to learn and see how the universe brought everything together even if the pieces are still coming together right now. Pay attention to the divine guidance happening in your favor right now. Smile about it and breathe. It’s all okay. Release the need to overthink and overwhelm yourself with worries. It’s all okay. Let this bring you inner peace a clarity right now that creates a positive shift within you. It’s all okay.
It’s now public record: $101M settlement for an infant that suffered permanent brain injury resulting from the measles vaccine. Sadly, all that money won’t begin to make up for this child’s cognitive loss. (That figure definitely exceeds MICRA limits for non-disclosure of the settlement … YES!)
Rest assured, Plaintiffs’ counsel thoroughly researched the damning evidence, so no need to continue saying “where’s your research”. The research is now a matter of public record. We The People have been defrauded by Merck, a/k/a Big Pharma … and Merck settled because it didn’t want all of its dirty laundry out for further public scrutiny.
It is truly an unfortunate commentary on American society that the present process for believing the truth behind the vaccine FRAUD had to go to this length to be heard, let alone accepted as fact, rather than political conjecture. Now, it remains to be seen whether the ridiculous stranglehold on a parent’s right to choose not to vax their child(ren), together with the overreaching demand that employees provide proof of vax for work purposes, will be lifted.
Anne Abbot of Ohio shares the story about her daughter’s vaccine injury that caused her to lose half her brain at 2 years old. Her daughter was completely healthy prior to receiving her vaccines.
In celebration of Mother’s Day, may we take the time to honor the Divine Mother in every heart.
Not just for the special woman who helped deliver you into this world, or even the person who helped give you the experience that your birth mother, perhaps, was unable to provide. When honoring the Divine Mother, it is a celebration of reverence for the life force energy that manifests as the flow of creativity, essence of love, and streams of intuitive inspiration flowing through all of us.
May each man, woman, and child be honored for those they will love, the light they shine, and all the creative ambitions they were created to bring to life.
Whether close with your birth mom, embracing the joy of a surrogate mother in the form of a close friend or relative, or honoring the inner wellspring of creativity that wants to express its art through you, I hereby honor the Divine Mother in all of us as a love that has no end.
To all mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, relatives, friends, neighbors, and even those we have yet to meet and love, I honor the Divine Mother in you, as the heart-centered consciousness transforming our beautiful planet.
Cancer cells are fond of sugar. So, mixing and warming up baking soda and honey (or maple syrup packed with sugar), ties up these two compounds and the maple syrup focuses on cancer cells craving for sugar (they use 15 times more glucose compared to healthy cells) and brings the baking soda inside the cells.

I want you to remember something. No matter what they do to you, no matter what they say or how they behave. No matter how alone you feel or unworthy. No matter how long the days are or how bumpy the road feels beneath your feet. I want you to breathe, deep and right to the bottom of your toes. I want you to reach down into the depths of you, into your very soul. I want you to know that you are worth it. You are worth more that all the diamonds on this planet, more priceless than gold. You are valued beyond all the riches, the treasures and the money. These are just things. You are worth more that their fleeting glances and spotty attention. You, you are a soul more beautiful than all of this combined. You are worth more than all of these times by a thousand. You are priceless. You were born worthy. Never forget that.

A physical wound is damage done to skin and mucous membranes. Emotional wounds are no different when we try to heal them. As it happens for a physical wound, when we work to heal an emotional trauma or shock without working with consciousness, we tend to pretend to forget or remove the experience.
Then we create a “forced closure” of a potential profound cut, which is the perfect environment to grow a colony of bacteria that can severely damage the entire body system in the long term.
If we want to work to effectively heal emotional wounds, we have to know and understand our talent first because this is the way to find healing from the inside.

As a celebration of springtime renewal, the month of May offers us a chance to renew our commitments to welcoming greater realities through the practice of intention. Often beginning with the words, “May I____”, each intention created for yourself invites higher vibrations into all aspects of your reality to help clear away the old and send out blessings to others around you.
To create your own springtime intention, simply fill in the blank space with an adjective best describing how you wish to feel more often. It might be “May I be loved.” “May I be abundant.” “May I be free.” Or even “May I be inspired and fulfilled.”
Once you’ve established the intention for that which you wish to feel more often, send these intentions out into the Universe as blessings in to the lives of those around you. Whether sending them to each car passing by in traffic, each person you walk by, or sending these blessings to each name in your smartphone address book or your Facebook feed …
…the Universe acknowledges your readiness for higher realities at the rate you bless others.
For instance, if your intention were “May I be loved”, you would send it out to the Universe by blessing others with the words, “May you be loved.” Such blessings can be either verbal, written, or silent — whichever feels the safest or most inspiring to your heart.
During this time of renewal, intention-setting and blessing, may you always remember your place in the cosmos as the missing piece that compels the puzzle of the Universe. May you know how deeply you are loved by the Source of all, no matter how characters seem to be. May you be in touch with love within you and in-tune with the light guiding your path. May you always remember the power of your breath through a willingness to love yourself more, not less. May you be as forgiving as you’re able to be, while always remaining authentic and faithful to where you are in your evolution.
You might be able to improve in the future, but the most important part today is to never get down on yourself for wherever you are right now. Even if you get down on yourself or have greater expectations than you can fulfill, may the one who “never gets it right” or feels “less than”, left out, invisible, unseen and unsupported be the one you fully embrace.
May you always remember your inner truth and embrace your life purpose of living as the unique you the entire Universe dreamt of being without any hesitations or regrets.
Moldavite is a green translucent gemstone that comes from a single meteorite which fell to earth nearly 15 million years ago and landed in the Czech Republic. It is considered the only gemstone of extra-terrestrial origin. Moldavites existence predates known history. The Neolithic peoples of Eastern Europe regarded the glassy crystal as a spiritual talisman more than 25,000 years ago. Moldavite was believed to bring good luck and harmony to marital relationships and for centuries was given as a wedding gift. In the 1960’s the Swiss government gave a gift of Moldavite to Queen Elizabeth II on the tenth anniversary of her coronation. It was a beautiful naturally sculpted raw stone set in platinum and surrounded by diamonds and black pearls. There was also a rosary of faceted Moldavite beads with a carved Madonna made for Pope John Paul II as a gift from the Czechoslovakian people.
Moldavite indeed fell from the heavens and scientists associate it with the meteoric collision which formed the Bohemian plateau and surrounding mountains. While scientists differ in theories regarding Moldavite’s origin, nearly all agree its formation coincides with the crash of a large meteorite approximately 14.8 million years ago. Legend has it moldavite was the green, emerald-like stone found inside the Holy Grail and said to be a talisman for the healing of the planet. Moldavite carries an intense frequency, a fusion of earthly and extraterrestrial energies that are instantly felt. Holding Moldavite for the first time usually produces a sensation of heat, then the heart chakra is activated, and emotional release from laughter to tears may occur. Moldavite’s frequency may take some getting used to, but its profound ability to accelerate one’s personal and spiritual evolution is worth it. A star-born catalyst of healing and wholeness, this is a sacred talisman of awakening opening the doors to our destiny. Moldavite is a catalyst for quickened inner evolution towards one’s highest good. The changes it brings can be intense and rapid. The healing can occur in the physical body, the chakra systems, one’s dream life and other aspects of the spiritual dimensions.
Moldavite is a valuable stone for star children and sensitive souls who find it difficult being on earth. Wearing Moldavite opens the heart and helps return that beautiful pink glow to your aura that is associated with unconditional love. Placed on the heart, Moldavite uncovers the reasons and purpose for why one is here, and eases the “homesickness” for the stars. Wearing, or simply holding, a piece of Moldavite can produce many interesting and instantaneous reactions. Its vibration are so high, too much exposure can be overwhelming. The fluttering most people feel in their chest while holding moldavite happens because moldavite opens the heart & thymus (spiritual heart) chakras. When kept close to the body, moldavite will remove energy blockages in all chakras. If you have had trouble opening your heart chakra and releasing bottled-up emotions, moldavite is the stone for you!
There are many benefits of this stone, and exposure to it including, activating the dream state when worn while sleeping, helping one to acclimate to the Earth plane. It aids in expansion of consciousness and rapid transformation, releasing of those things that do not serve one’s highest path. Moldavite is considered the only known gemstone of “extraterrestrial” origin. Moldavite is one of the most beneficial gemstones for accelerating psychic awakening and spiritual growth. While wearing or holding moldavite, solutions to problems will become clear. It’s not uncommon to have an epiphany or two while working with moldavite!
If you struggle with finding your purpose in this life, I recommend carrying or wearing a moldavite as it helps you to “remember” why you are here. Moldavite will often bring repressed emotions bubbling to the surface This helps to facilitate emotional healing and spiritual growth. Moldavite is a talisman, a cosmic sigil, sent to Earth. It has its own cosmic Over-soul. Moldavite has an ability to connect with the Ascended Masters and Angels of Light. It has the ability to ground Light for the healing of the Earth. Moldavite creates an energy of spiritual protection, preventing negative energies and entities from connecting or clinging to one’s energy field.
