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…

Intuition is the survival factor of humankind and is what has saved us from great dangers. This has been cultivated within all of us, especially within the womb and the deep feminine intuitive nature. This is also why pure intentions are so important, for us as individuals and as a collective to practice, so we can clear out negativity in the world. When we do something, we should always make clear to ourselves what the intention is. When we start some new project or meet someone new, clear intentions are important in order to grow what we truly want. Intentions that come from a pure place, always create more pure experiences. So what are your intentions, when you write that text, speak to someone, buy something, start something? What are your intentions when being around certain people and do certain things? One should have clear intentions, intentions of creating more love, unity, positive change and healing within oneself and others. This leads to true abundance.

Raise your Vibration with Pyramid Energy, reduce your stress and anxiety, feel more peaceful and relaxed, gain perceptual clarity, feel greater joy and confidence, increase your energy with a Meditation Pyramid.
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.
Since psyche and matter are contained in one and the same world, and moreover are in continuous contact with one another and ultimately rest on irrepresentable, transcendental factors, it is not only possible but fairly probable, even, that psyche and matter are two different aspects of one and the same thing.
The synchronicity phenomena point in this direction, for they show that the nonpsychic can behave like the psychic, and vice versa, without there being any causal connection between them.
Our present knowledge does not allow us to do much more than compare the relation of the psychic to the material world with two cones, whose apices, meeting in a point without extension—a real zero-point—touch and do not touch.
Psyche cannot be totally different from matter, for how otherwise could it move matter? And matter cannot be alien of psyche, for how else could matter produce psyche?
In archetypal conceptions and instinctual perceptions, spirit and matter confront one another on the psychic plane.
Matter and spirit both appear in the psychic realm as distinctive qualities of conscious contents.
The ultimate nature of both is transcendental, that is, irrepresentable, since the psyche and its contents are the only reality which is given to us without a medium.
May is a magical month around the world, filled with superstitions and omens and tales. I grew up being told some of these and may first was always the perfect time to go barefoot.

The first of May was all about security: securing your home, your luck, your fortune, and your future! […]

Walnut (Juglans regia, Juglandaceae) is a large deciduous tree native to Central Asia. It has been in cultivation across the Eurasian continent for thousands of years. While it is primarily grown for its exceptionally nutritious nut, it is also a source of dye, wood, and other products. In this double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, clinical trial, the researchers evaluated the effects of a walnut leaf extract on glycemic control and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Walnut leaves for this study were collected in the Dasht-e Naz agricultural area outside the city of Sari, Iran. They were positively identified and certified by a botanist, and a botanical quality voucher specimen was deposited at the Sari School of Pharmacy. The walnut leaf sample was air-dried at room temperature. One kilogram of the sample was ground and percolated, using three 2.5 L measures of 70% ethanol over 24…
