It’s not easy being a parent. It’s a full time job on top of everything else going on in your life, it is a life time commitment! Everyone has their own parenting style, but some seem to work better than others.

When your kid is crying about a little cut, spilling some ice cream or not being able to find their rubber ducky, it’s easy to have a “suck it up” kind of energy. You get tired, you want your kid to figure it out themselves; but is this really healthy for them? 

In a study of 33 preschoolers, researchers saw that children had more melt downs and intense emotional reactions when parents reacted harshly to their negative emotions.

When parents didn’t come to comfort them when they were upset, the research concluded that it was much more difficult for the child to behave in a socially competent manner. 

Children are naturally sensitive, emotional and absorbent beings. They soak up information, energy and emotion like a sponge that holds onto the experience as they grow up.  Continue reading →

Marriage isn’t really what it used to be. Today, many people are more open minded, feeling as if they don’t need a piece of paper to prove commitment. Out of all the people who get married, only 3 in 10 actually remain together.

During the 1970s, marriages started falling apart at very high rates. This urged social scientists to start observing their traits, worrying it would have an impact on children.

What are the specific traits that create happy, long lasting marriages?

Psychologist John Gottman was one of the people who wanted to figure this out.

He had a team of researchers hook couples up to a set of electrodes. They were all asked to talk about the dynamic of their relationship. How they met, large conflicts they face, and positive memories they share. As they shared their thoughts, they measured their blood flow, heart rates and the amount of sweat produced.

These couples were then contacted six years later to see how they were doing.

Gottman saw there was two main groups which he called the masters and the disasters. People who were masters were still happy after six years, and the disasters were broken up or fundamentally unhappy in their relationships.  Continue reading →

Still drinking milk? You might want to give this video a watch. Vox created an informative and comprehensive video on how exactly the government has tricked us into drinking so much milk.

During the first world war, milk started to be heavily produced to give nutrition to the soldiers around the world. Because of this, farmers starting focusing more on dairy and got rid of their other animals, predominantly making milk from cows. But as the war ended, there was way more milk than people to drink it.

This is why campaigns started to get people drinking more milk, instead of making less of it. Ever see those Got Milk ads? Those were created to try to keep selling all that milk.

This video breaks it down perfectly. At the end of the day, the FDA, who is in charge of creating these health regulations, also has a hand in the marketing for these massive companies.

You can eat dairy and have a healthy diet, but thinking that it’s essential is simply marketing.

Everything in this universe is fundamentally made of energy. The atoms that make up physicality, at the core, are vibrating geometries that are energetic structures.

So is it possible to detect electromagnetic fields around the Earth? This is an inherent ability animals like birds have, which help them navigate while flying.

They align themselves with the Earth’s magnetic field which allows them to understand the difference between north, south, east and west. If this ability is present in animals, why couldn’t it be in humans?

Well, it is! And we are finally creating scientific research to help us understand how it works.

The geophysicist Joe Kirschvink at the California Institute of Technology recently showed the results of this study. He believes that people do inherently possess the ability to detect magnetic fields.

He says he has produced clear evidence that humans do in fact have functioning magnetoreceptors.  Continue reading →

The more we come in tune with our true selves, the more we discover the infinite power we actually possess.

When we take away all the distractions created by this system, the media and several other big corporations that prefer to see us stupefied, we can reach a very powerful source within ourselves.

Whether it’s wealth, love, health or happiness, we can use the universe to give us everything we desire when we are aligned with our purpose. Imagine being able to manifest your wildest dreams, your deepest desires, your greatest wishes and change your life for the better with only the power of your mind.

So, what are you waiting for? Put it into practice!How can we use our mind to manifest a reality we desire?

Manifestation will only work when you keep love and respect for yourself, the world and those surrounding you as a priority with harmony as the main motivator.

1. We need to be able to control our mind.

Otherwise, it can work against us. Even our feelings can have a bigger impact than we think.

The best way to get all the right components in line is by taking our time, relax, calm down, get into a meditative state. Breath slowly and deeply in and out and center yourself. Continue reading →

We like to think of ourselves as individuals, don’t we? We’d prefer to be a flawed original, than a perfect copy.  Yet when it comes right down to it, we are simply living the life of a label.

We define ourselves as extroverts or introverts, vegan or vegetarian, hippie or hipster. But we are none of these things. We think we are creating a society of individuals, when all we are really doing is expanding our dictionary of personal descriptions.

Who are you, really?

Did you grow up with a family who was constantly trying to make ends meet, or were you even blessed enough to have a family?  Did that define who you became as an adult? No, of course not. You choose who you are, not your past, and not your labels.

“We inhabit a world in which we tend to put labels on each other and expect that we will then march through life wearing them like permanent sandwich boards.”
–Nick Webb

Nothing is permanent, not even the words in which you choose to define yourself, and others. As our society is ever-changing, so are our likes and dislikes, wants and needs, and personal aspirations. But you will always be you…

A human being, a beautiful soul, experiencing this life as only you know how to- one moment at a time. Labels don’t help bring us together as a community, they divide us into groups. Nothing great has ever come from separation; we must join together and realize we aren’t any of these labels. We are all the same. Continue reading →
