How to Make Amazing Non-Toxic, Long-Lasting, Organic Deodorant 

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Most of the commercial antiperspirants and deodorants we use are loaded with synthetic chemicals that enter the skin fast and might lead to irritations and hormonal imbalances. Julie Gabriel, The Green Beauty Guide, claims that many antiperspirants contain aluminum, added to dry out sweat by injecting aluminum ions in the cells that line the sweat […]

Womens History Month || Smithsonian Shines Light on Hawaiian Queens for Women’s History Month

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

The Smithsonian Asian Pacific American Center’s Learning Together program announced in an emailed statement last week that, as part of Women’s History Month, it will share teaching materials on two women who were critical to the history of the Hawaiian Kingdom.

The Center’s Learning Lab, an online resource for educators, includes a wide range of content focusing on Queen Kapi‘olani (1834-1899) and Queen Liliʻuokalani (1838-1917)—two of the most important leaders in a rich native culture that existed long before the establishment of the United States.

On Consciousness …

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

There is only one consciousness, and it permeates the fabric of the Universe and is within all things. Check out Mind Over Matter – Consciousness and the Nature of Reality to explore this idea more deeply. We are all individuated threads of universal consciousness — that’s why it is sometimes referred to as SOURCE consciousness.

This one consciousness created multiple focal points of awareness within itself birthing many selves. These many selves are all part of and within the One Self and one of them is YOU — that makes the One Self is your highest self!

You are WITHIN Source, and paradoxically Source is within you.

Lāʻau Lāpaʻau || Could Prescription Vegetables be the Future of Healthcare?

The authors of a new study conclude that healthful food prescriptions in Medicare and Medicaid would be more cost-effective after 5 years than preventive drug treatments.
Father and daughter shopping

As the cost of healthcare rises, could prescription vegetables save money?

Medicare and Medicaid are the two largest healthcare programs in the United States.

Approximately 57 million people received coverage from Medicare plans in 2016, while Medicaid had about 66 million enrollees in 2018.

Medicare is the federal health insurance program that supports certain groups of people, including those who are 65 years or older, those with permanent kidney failure, and some younger people with disabilities.

Medicaid is a federal and state program that helps people who have limited income and resources.

Medicare accounted for 15 percent of the federal budget in 2017. As the population ages and healthcare costs rise, experts estimate that healthcare spending will continue to grow. According to projections, Medicare spending will reach 18 percent by 2028.

All of us struggle with our identity. Maybe, we date someone we shouldn’t … maybe, we’re related to someone we wish we weren’t. Maybe, we need rules … maybe, we shun them. Maybe, we need to shake who we always thought we were and try on something new. Maybe, we should loosen up … maybe, we should take a leap … because when we do, maybe we just might surprise ourselves.

Cannabinoids for Chemotherapy-induced Nausea and Vomiting: Overview of Systematic Reviews

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting (CINV), one of the most distressing chemotherapy-related adverse events (AEs), affects about 75% of patients undergoing chemotherapy. Antiemetic drugs are considered first-line treatments, while cannabinoids are considered an option to be used if other antiemetics fail. The cannabinoids used for CINV include tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and analogs of THC. The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first synthetic cannabinoid as a prescription drug for the treatment of CINV in 1986. [Note: Dronabinol, synthetic THC (Marinol) was approved in 1986, not 1985 as the text states, as a schedule II drug. In 1999, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) transferred it from schedule II to schedule III. Non-synthetic THC (i.e., the kind in the plant) remains a DEA schedule I drug (no medical use).] In this overview, the authors summarize evidence from and critique the quality of published systematic reviews (SRs) of cannabinoids in CINV.

A Celebration of Lilacs

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

One of nature’s long-lived symbols of spring, lilacs bring fragrance, beauty, and nostalgia to every landscape they adorn.

Beloved by bees and butterflies, a quality cover for birds and wildlife, and one of the most cherished blooms in America, the common lilac (Syringa vulgaris) embodies everything we love about sweet, old-fashioned flowers. After all, is there any other fragrance that says “spring” as emphatically as the glorious scent of the lilac?

Lilacs are an intrinsic part of our collective horticultural heritage. The glory of their annual blooms may seem fleeting, but the longevity of the shrubs is what establishes them as a permanent fixture in our gardens and memories. These long-lived shrubs can survive for decades or even centuries, handed down through the generations. Thomas Jefferson, for instance, grew lilacs at Monticello beginning in 1771; a small group of these original lilacs is said to still grow on…

Lāʻau Lāpaʻau || Clinical Pharmacokinetics of Green Coffee Bean Extract

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Coffee (Coffea arabica, Rubiaceae) beans are used in many cultures across the globe to brew the popular caffeinated beverage. Caffeine and coffee have been linked with reduced incidence of metabolic syndrome and diabetes, lower serum triglycerides, better athletic performance, and improved memory and attention. Other than caffeine, antioxidant compounds such as chlorogenic acids (CGA) may underlie coffee’s benefits, as some studies report similar results for decaffeinated coffee. Among coffee CGAs, 5-CQA comprises about 35% of CGAs in roasted coffee and 56-62% in green coffee beans. One serving of coffee provides 20-675 mg CGAs, depending on the type of roast, preparation, serving size, and many other factors.

CGAs, like most polyphenolic compounds, are not well absorbed in the human body but are broken down or metabolized to smaller units in the gut. Coffee CGAs are differentially absorbed and/or metabolized in humans, with large individual variation. It has been suggested…

Music and Spirituality || John Coltrane Draws a Picture Illustrating the Mathematics of Music

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Physicist and saxophonist Stephon Alexander has argued in his many public lectures and his book The Jazz of Physics that Albert Einstein and John Coltrane had quite a lot in common. Alexander in particular draws our attention to the so-called “Coltrane circle,” which resembles what any musician will recognize as the “Circle of Fifths,” but incorporates Coltrane’s own innovations.   […]

EVERYTHING DOESN’T MATTER…Even though it does matter.

What is existence?…

Electrical impulses allow every Atomic cell in existence to communicate with one another.
These cells exchange information across an infinite spectrum of possibility.

Whatever information is collated amongst a faction of cells is known as a WEB of information.

These “webs” of information magnetically arrange themselves into electrical pulses of code & this code is what forms matter as we know it.

This electromagnetic universal web of code operates on a sine & wavelength amplitude and the highway for this amplitude is what we know as, light, sound & vibration or FREQUENCY.

At the core of all existence, this is all that really exists…
THIS IS THE SOURCE OF ALL CREATION – GOD

In every cell, every body, every web, every domain, every realm, every dimension, every universe, every multiverse, every thought, everything in existence is simply natural CODE subconsciously agreed on by the collective…

We humans in this realm use tools like the sciences, mathematics, language, art & music as aids to help us de-code the universal CODE as it exists within ourselves & in this realm.

Now, because everything in existence is code, that means there is an infinite number of possibilities to any given reality at any given time.

This is where the laws of existence come in…
UNIVERSAL & NATURAL laws…
Without these laws, there would be no order.
These laws give everything a time, place & structure.

In other words we can only create or destroy matter within the confines of universal & natural laws within any given space & time.

We humans of this time & place currently only use between 8% and 15% of our full DNA potential. Which means we are only able to decode 8 – 15% of space, time & matter in this reality.

This percentage of DNA potential is what we call consciousness.

The more DNA potential (consciousness) we unlock or awaken, the more clearer we begin to decode the WEB reality of this existence we call life on earth & even beyond.

In essence, everything in existence does not actually matter because matter is simply coded energy manifest in current space & time.

However, paradoxically, everything in existence also does matter because we, as conscious beings find ourselves here in this matrix web of space, time & matter.

We are all a part of this web.
We are in it (life) and we are on it (Earth)

In leymans terms, this web is simply a game.

The game of life is very much like playing hide & seek or snakes & ladders.

The aim of the game is for us to individually and collectively find ourselves.
The more we seek from what is hidden within, the more we unlock conscious DNA, from within.

Ultimately, the goal of the game is to find & unlock enough of yourself, so you can move on to YOUR next stage.

The more DNA we unlock the more options we give ourselves within the game.
We transmute from being played to becoming players.

We open new doors not just here & now but also beyond what our tiny 8 – 15% conscious understanding can fathom.

However, we must be cautious.
Not everyone who unlocks new cells of DNA will use this wisely.

Some will use this knowledge & power to control, destroy & conquer those who haven’t caught up with the game…

But…there are others will use this knowledge and power to empower, create & build themselves & those around them, not just here & now but also BEYOND.

With great knowledge comes great responsibility.

It’s time for us to open our eyes – ALL THREE eyes.

The eyes will only see when the pupil is ready.

Vision 2020 & beyond.

Ultimately, there is nothing to fear or be confused about because nothing matters.

But if it does matter to you, all the answers you NEED (not want) are coded everywhere around you & it’s FREE…

All you need to do is pay attention, open your mind, eyes & heart and be prepared to learn, unlearn & relearn.

If this makes no sense to you, it’s because this is not your space or time…ignore it & move on.

But, if this does make any sense to you…
Hi there🙂💫

Since i started studying herbalism 4 years ago, I have felt my in urge to get back on track with my spiritualism, Now i know that may sound strange to some. But 12 years ago, I was a reiki healer, tarot reader and spiritualist, but when my youngest was born 16 weeks premature, i turned it all off to focus on her, now again, i can hear you stay, but isn’t that the time you needed it the most, and yes you are probably right, but for me, i found my spiritualism distracted me from helping her, because i still had the demand from other people, and my head wasn’t in the game, and when i explained to one lady, that i couldn’t do her reading she got angry with me, so i thought NO, i cant do this, so i walked away from the whole thing, don’t get me…
