What was one of the better kept secrets of the 21st century is now blown totally open.  The three corporations above are responsible for much of the world’s chocolate influx, 60% of which comes out of West Africa.

In 2000, it was revealed that the harvesting and processing of the cacao plant was left to children, often unpaid and living in slavery.  Imprisoned, forced to go to the bathroom on the roof or in a cup and malnourished, children would either be sold into it for $30 or be kidnapped, thinking they were applying for some sort of paying job.

The rules and regulations are so lax there that there is no government to step in and stop the atrocities.  This horrific state of child slavery is also the perfect cheap labor for candy companies that want to sell you chocolate for dirt cheap prices.  Why do you think it only costs $1 for a chocolate bar?

It’s all well and good to know about the Law of Attraction and the importance of having a high vibration.  But how do you know exactly where your vibration is? How can you tell if you are attracting a reality that you want or a reality you don’t want? Below are four quick ways you can test your vibration.

Test Your Vibration With These 4 Signs

1. Do a quick reality check: Look around your surroundings, what is going on? Is someone opening a door for you or is it slamming in your face? Is it a beautiful day outside or is the weather horrible?

You have created this reality with your vibration, so take a quick look around to see where you’re at! If you like what you see, your vibration is running high. 

If you are seeing lots of obstacles and frustrations, your vibration is running low.  If it’s half and half, or just kind of “blah” your vibration is relatively centered between high and low.  

2. Are you seeing repeating numbers? Most repeating numbers (1111, 111, 222, 333) and increasing numbers (1234) are all signs that you are moving at a high vibration.  Continue reading →

“Unexpressed emotion will never die. They are buried alive and will come forth later in uglier ways. ~Sigmund Freud~

When I decided to write about this topic I was conflicted because it was through my own emotional turmoil and trauma that I experienced spiritual awakening.

Taking my heart past the limit, I was so immersed in my emotional body that my heart couldn’t handle it. The pain and the inner turmoil were so intense that it felt like my chest was being ripped apart and it was on that day when I fell to my knees and surrendered to my pain, that I experienced spiritual awakening and enlightenment.

And so, I was conflicted, as I am living proof that if you take your heart to the limit and let it be your guide among st the trials and tribulations of the world, it will lead to you to the path you ultimately seek.

But then I realized, upon exploring the subject of emotional addiction, that no one should need to take the path, as I did. And that conscious evolution, and enlightenment will come much easier if we all had the proper teachings and tools.

And so, here are 3 Steps to Healing Emotional Addictions and Why it is So Important.

1. Do Away With Distractions

The television, the radio, the magazines and the social media sites (that aren’t teaching you anything). They are an emotional addiction and are there to keep your mind immersed in your body. These outlets want you to continue the cycle of thinking a certain way, causing you to feel a certain way, strung out in a feedback loop of negativity.

Think about your favorite song and how it makes you feel. Each song sparks an emotion within you, this emotion is triggered by a memory, the memory produces a thought and the thought generates a feeling. This all is the grand illusion that keeps you from the realization that you are a conscious creator. It keeps your mind immersed in your body of thinking and feeling and the cycle continues. This is the prime purpose of media. In fact, it is the number one sales strategy.

The more you engage in this cycle, the longer it will take to overcome your own emotional addiction to the pain and suffering in which you are experiencing. Continue reading →
