Oh, Pisces. I’m a Pisces so this will be fun to write. I’m actually a Pisces and Aquarius cusp, so it get’s a bit interesting.

Pisces is the 12th, and last astrological sign in the zodiac. This means, it is one of the oldest and most wise signs. People who are Pisces tend to be considered “old souls” and act much older than their age.

Growing up, I always had people assume I was much older than my actual age. I was much wiser than children my age, but for me that came out through frustration for the world.

I was born with a sense of purpose and an inner knowing that the system of society was inherently hurtful.

Pisces, as it is a fish, is of course a water sign. It is ruled by Jupiter as a primary planet, and Neptune as a secondary. Jupiter is the thinking planet. It is the abstract mind, the higher learning both intellectually and spiritually.

Neptune, on the other hand, is about fluidity and illusory nature. It is all about dreams and abstract thoughts, making a great combination with Jupiter. Combined, the two planets create the Yin Yang of male and female energy. Continue reading →

The Myofascial release (pronounced my-fash-a) technique involves applying gentle pressure on different spots of your body, to trigger blood flow and energy movement. This is essentially the opposite of a deep tissue massage, where you need to consciously touch the skin ever so slightly, and focus on your connection between you and the patient. It requires a great deal of focus, patience and sensitivity to energy.

As foreign objects collide with our body, there is a natural response time where our brain decides if it needs to fight or flight. This is a subconscious program that plays in our minds; usually when we are being touched we don’t consciously feel in danger. This is felt within the Myofascial tissue that connects everything in our body. This is a web of thin tissue that weaves in between every cell in our body, connecting our physical body to allow consciousness to flow through it. 

By moving parts of your body in slow, fluid like motions, you are activating and encouraging energy flow, or Qi, through your body. When you get a ‘knot’ in your neck or arms, or shoulders, that can be diagnosed as a ‘Myofascial trigger point’ which is essentially stress on the tissues.  

Myo- is a greek prefix meaning muscle.  Collagen- is greek for glue, and sheets of collagen constitute the different layers of fascia. The fascia is a dielectric connective tissue that holds and glues the body together and lets everything move smoothly. Keyword here is ‘dielectric’.

A dielectric is a material that can be polarized and store electric energy in the form of a static field. Such as plastics, ceramics and collagen. Just imagine rubbing a balloon against your hair, charging it, then placing it against the wall. Continue reading →

Do you feel like you’re being fooled every time you go to the grocery store now a days? As you walk down the isle passing organic canned food, organic plastic wrap pre-made meals, healthy food with “natural flavorings”, it can really make you start to wonder. 

It’s no secret that many companies in the food industry have money as a priority over the general public’s health. A lot of large and powerful brands like coca-Cola and Pepsi actually own a lot of companies that claim to be small and organic.  This makes it more and more difficult to navigate through grocery stores.

The word natural has lost all meaning, most food is genetically modified or is sprayed with pesticides. Food like corn and bananas have been so heavily modified, the idea of them being organic almost seems impossible now.

Many of these natural brands you find in the grocery store have their own section of expensive organic products. They are double, if not triple the price of all the other non-organic products, the problem is some of these food items are just as bad. Sure, compared to Lucky Charms, most of these are a better choice, but there are still many unnecessary chemicals in these products that are being sold to you for an extremely high price.

Some of these products include brands like:

Kashi

Unfortunately owned by Kellogg, the multi-billion dollar corporation responsible for Cornflakes and Rice Crispies. This company purposely paints a natural, family owned company picture on their merchandise. “Kellogg acquired the Kashi brand in 2000, but the Kashi website continues to paint a picture of being a small company: “We are a small (after 25 years, still fewer than 70 of us) band of passionate people.””

 Bear Naked 

Another supposedly small company that’s actually owned by Kellogg. Continue reading →

We are merely a reflection of the universe in so many ways. From our brains neural pathways and how our cells spilt, to literally being made up of the same fundamental energy; we are the universe experiencing itself. This video shows the growth and evolution of our universe, which is very similar to the growth of our brains!

It is mind blowing to imagine the size of entire galaxies within galaxies all colliding and merging together to create something that is alive. It grows, contracts; our universe literally breathes with life of all kinds.

This video is mesmerizing to watch, and to think, we’re all somewhere in that cosmic soup watching a simulation of it grow.

Over a decade ago, French underwater archaeologist Franck Goddio had discovered something amazing submerged in the River Nile. In 2000, they found massive structures making up the lost city of Heracleion, also known as Thonis. Over 1000 years after they were submerged in the Mediterranean sea, these incredible artifacts are now going to be revealed to the public in a British Museum exhibition.
