Human evolution has not stopped. We may still have a long way to go, in evolutionary terms. Although we are still evolving physically, we are evolving in others ways too, (i) as knowers, (ii) in consciousness, (iii) in intelligence, and (iv) in our capacity to do things without the aid of technology. In addition, we have the ability to influence the pace and direction of our evolution. This has far-reaching implications, given the state of the world today.

If you’ve ever needed an excuse for more hugging, let it be this: a 10-second hug a day can lead to biochemical and physiological reactions in your body that can significantly improve your health. Hugging also increases levels of the “love hormone” oxytocin which, in turn, may have beneficial effects on your heart health and more. Interestingly, past research has similarly found that positive emotions – including being happy, lively, and calm – also appear to play a role in immune function.

I am not a philosopher or a mystic. I am just a regular girl. But we live on a blue planet that circles around a ball of fire next to a moon, that moves the sea and you don’t believe in miracles? I have had a persistent voice in my head asking me to share my learnings, lessons from my favourite books and quotes that helped me believe in magic.

Do you love ginger ale? Ginger has been used for thousands of years to help relieve nausea and stomach issues as well as other inflammatory discomforts (and other amazing benefits.) But most of the popular store bought Ginger Ales have very little ginger and loads of sugar and corn syrup. Some are even artificially flavored and actually have no ginger! One day I thought to myself.. I can make a probiotic ginger ale that is good for my family, from all natural ingredients. This is so exciting to me and I want to share it with you so you can also make your own!

Peak water is the idea that, like peak oil, water is a limited resource that we are running out of. Artificial scarcity is an age-old trick used by merchants to suppress the supply of a resource or product in order to increase its price. This financial trick is especially noticeable in the oil industry; John D. Rockefeller propagated the peak oil myth at the Geneva Convention in 1892 by using his paid scientists to contend that, as oil is composed of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen, it must be a residue from living matter - a "fossil fuel"! But the whole thing is a scam; Russians discovered that oil was abiotic decades ago. Now, new information suggests we are looking at another fable – this time “peak water”. What’s the point of a water crisis hoax? Control water and you control life.

Many practitioners of alternative medicine are now encouraging the use of essential oils for minor ailments such as wounds, insect bites, nausea, headaches, digestive disorders and more.

When it comes to herbal aphrodisiac supplements, male sexual health products are often the most abundant in supply. Regardless of the high demand for male sexual health products, many herbs and libido-boosting supplements also exist to support female sexual health.

Increasingly people within spiritual circles are becoming aware of, and speaking out about, "energetic implants" in our energy fields. Implants are prevalent within most, if not all, human beings. They've been used as a tool by Opposing Consciousness in the 'dumbing-down' of humanity. So what are energetic implants? How do they work? Where did they come from? And most importantly, how do we remove them?
