Affirmations …

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

The Self is always available, is always here.

There never was a time when the Self was not.

Do not make it complicated for yourself.

Simply return to what you were

by letting go of everything else.

By not reacting to the world.

By diving deep within, into the heart center

where the true reality awaits you.

You are a divine being, a spiritual being.

You are not the body or the mind.

Know yourself, be yourself!

Awaken to the Self!

Forget about reincarnation.

Reincarnation is not for you.

It is for the deluded ones.

You are free of all karma,

free of all samskaras,

free of playing games.

Feel your freedom.

All is Well.

– Robert Adams

New Study: Women Live Longer If They Live Surrounded By Nature

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

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.

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

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.

Lāʻau Lāpaʻau | Herbs for Your Windowsill

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

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…

Health | Resentment Causes Knots In Your Energy Field

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

We all hold grudges big and small.

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!

The Power of Gratitude

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

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.

Public Health | Lawfirm Announces $101 Million Measles Vaccine Settlement for Infant that Suffered Brain Injury

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

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.

Happy Mothers Day … ‘AUWE!!
