New research shows there might be health benefits to eating certain types of dark chocolate. Findings from two studies being presented today at the Experimental Biology 2018 annual meeting in San Diego show that consuming dark chocolate that has a high concentration of cacao (minimally 70% cacao, 30% organic cane sugar) has positive effects on stress levels, inflammation, mood, memory and immunity. While it is well known that cacao is a major source of flavonoids, this is the first time the effect has been studied in human subjects to determine how it can support cognitive, endocrine and cardiovascular health.

Lee S. Berk, DrPH, associate dean of research affairs, School of Allied Health Professions and a researcher in psychoneuroimmunology and food science from Loma Linda University, served as principal investigator on both studies.

“For years, we have looked at the influence of dark chocolate on neurological functions from the standpoint of sugar content — the more sugar, the happier we are,” Berk said. “This is the first time that we have looked at the impact of large amounts of cacao in doses as small as a regular-sized chocolate bar in humans over short or long periods of time, and are encouraged by the findings. These studies show us that the higher the concentration of cacao, the more positive the impact on cognition, memory, mood, immunity and other beneficial effects.”

The flavonoids found in cacao are extremely potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents, with known mechanisms beneficial for brain and cardiovascular health. The following results will be presented in live poster sessions during the Experimental Biology 2018 meeting:

Michelle Walling Video on Protecting Our Environment/Personal Space

 

editor’s note:  thank you Deborah for sending me on the search for this one. very much resonating.  i am in tune enough to know when an experience is of my own creation or when it’s a matrix attack.  this recent experience w/the debit card i knew – i felt it – was a damn attack.  no coincidence it happened 24 hours after i had that beautiful inner experience over money and complete gratitude for where i was/what i had.  today we had a neighborhood gathering.  i was rushing around getting things together and heard “take your protection stones”.  i dismissed it thinking “i’m just going to be around some neighbors and kids.”  yeah well…..i had an experience which suddenly again, i could feeeeeeeeeeel this, was an attack.  i could see something come over another – could see with that inner eye this grayish energy above the individual.  i protected myself – and thought “that’s why i was guided to take my stones”.  i gotta tell you – as she says, the volume has been turned up from the a.i. machine – and more than ever i want to be alone in my own space – candles – saging – resins burning – lovely music ~ creating my own peaceful divine space (bubble as the video references) during this “time”.  i too feel this energy event wave is what knocks out the matrix a.i. virus…..  i pulled myself out of my funk yesterday – shrugging it off.  ain’t nobody gonna break me down….ain’t nobody gonna slow me down, oh no, i’ve got to keep on moving….  (speaking of songs i just finished up the video – total synchronicity – she ends it by saying “just keep truckin…” – that song – grateful dead – has been on my mind for days – so much so earlier this week i pulled out the cd of it and played it while out and about.”)  [wp-svg-icons icon=”happy” wrap=”i”]

Trump signs ‘right to try’ drug bill

 

BY JESSIE HELLMANN – 05/30/18 01:16 PM EDT

President Trump signed a bill Wednesday allowing terminally ill patients access to experimental medical treatments not yet approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Dubbed “right to try,” the law’s passage was a major priority of Trump and Vice President Pence, as well as congressional Republicans.

Trump thanked lawmakers sitting in the audience who sponsored the bill, including Sen. Joe Donnelly, a vulnerable Democrat up for reelection in Indiana.

Despite calling Donnelly a “really incredible swamp person” earlier this month, Trump thanked the senator for his work on the bill.

Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), another vulnerable Democrat up for reelection, was the only other Democratic co-sponsor on the bill, but did not attend the ceremony because he is in West Virginia this week, his office said.

Congress is on recess this week for Memorial Day.

Today council showed me that in the Etheric/Energetic planes of existence, there exists a “ Universal Medicine Cabinet. “.
This is where all healing modalities , medicines , bandages exist , FREE of CHARGE.
So , today I had a huge sore throat. I was told to ask for Colloidal Silver, and to place it within my whole sinus cavity , letting it run down my throat.

A Vision for Touching

 

a favorite.  love this one.  a long-time desire/dream of mine…

The Vision Alignment Project

A Vision for Touching

The following Vision is reprinted from a recent Intenders Newsletter. We had so many appreciative responses from it that we decided to include it in The Vision Alignment Project. 

Tony here. I’ve had some truly amazing experiences in Intenders Circles over the years. Indeed, anywhere people gather in the name of the Highest Good, it calls forth our soul group, those with whom we’ve made agreements and arrangements long ago to reunite for the purpose bringing light unto the Earth and all Her people at this grand time in our evolution.

One such experience that happened in the Rohnert Park, CA Intenders Circle 10 years ago made a home in my heart and has stuck with me ever since. My friends, Garth and Dayadevi, hosted the Circle back then and we would regularly have 20 to 40 people encircling their living room. On the particular evening I’m referring to, Garth was saying his intentions when he paused, looked over at me, and said, “You know, Tony. there’s nothing I’d rather do in my life than to touch people with my hands and have them be healed right then and there.”

Looking back, I remember how the feeling in the room softened when he said it. Everyone was affected in one way or another. We all wanted to help and heal our fellow travelers, and we awaited the day when it would be a commonplace occurrence.

That day is coming. In fact, we can expect it at any moment. I see it ever so clearly. We are touching our friends and acquaintances with our hands, and they are instantly healed of all their health challenges. We are waving our arms in the air, and the polluted skies are cleared and cleansed. We are immersing our hands in the waters of our rivers, lakes and oceans, invoking the Love of God, and the waters are sweet and pure again. We are touching the Earth, and Her soils, Her plants, Her great trees, Her animals, Her creatures of all kinds are completely restored to their peak health and happiness. Everywhere you look, newly transformed, transcended Masters are bringing light into the dark simply by touching everyone and everything they see with their hands.

That is my Vision, and it is within reach now. I feel it. Once again, we, the people, are smiling and shining our highest lights for all to see. And, in response, the Earth Mother is smiling and shining Her light back upon us, as well – because we have done what we came here to do.

Throat Chakra Healing Foods And Exercises

 

editor’s note:  just bought a bunch of blueberries today…

******

The throat chakra is the first spiritual chakra in the list of seven chakras. It is present at the centre of the throat. This chakra makes you expressive of your thoughts and emotions.

The Sanskrit name for the throat chakra is Visuddha, and its associated colour is sky blue. This chakra is all about speaking truth.

Benefits of eating throat chakra healing foods:

We are what we eat. Eating a balanced and healthful diet not only makes us healthy and strong but also aligns our chakra in their correct position.

Have you noticed that certain types of food elevate your mood and make you feel good? It’s because they affect your chakra and balance them directly.

The throat chakra is connected with ears, lips, nose, tongue, larynx and pharynx.

The imbalanced throat chakra leads to swollen glands, hearing problems, sore throat, stiff neck, cough, and grinding teeth.

Speaking right is the best food for your throat chakra, but you can also eat other food items to improve the functioning of the throat chakra.

Throat chakra foods list

When you want to balance your throat chakra, use the following foods:

Blue Foods: Blue and black are the colours associated with the throat chakra, and eating foods of these colours will help you.

INFP Personality

 

i took this test in my mid 20’s and my results put me in the category of the INFP.  tests over the years, both brief and detailed, have continued to put me in this category.  most know i don’t like labels, but when something resonates, it serves a purpose.

******

INFP PERSONALITY (“THE MEDIATOR”)

INFP personalities are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, INFPs have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine. Comprising just 4% of the population, the risk of feeling misunderstood is unfortunately high for the INFP personality type – but when they find like-minded people to spend their time with, the harmony they feel will be a fountain of joy and inspiration.

INFP personality

Being a part of the Diplomat personality group, INFPs are guided by their principles, rather than by logic (Analysts), excitement (Explorers), or practicality (Sentinels). When deciding how to move forward, they will look to honor, beauty, morality and virtue – INFPs are led by the purity of their intent, not rewards and punishments. People who share the INFP personality type are proud of this quality, and rightly so, but not everyone understands the drive behind these feelings, and it can lead to isolation.

All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither; deep roots are not reached by the frost.

J. R. R. Tolkien

We Know What We Are, but Know Not What We May Be

At their best, these qualities enable INFPs to communicate deeply with others, easily speaking in metaphors and parables, and understanding and creating symbols to share their ideas. The strength of this intuitive communication style lends itself well to creative works, and it comes as no surprise that many famous INFPs are poets, writers and actors. Understanding themselves and their place in the world is important to INFPs, and they explore these ideas by projecting themselves into their work.

INFPs have a talent for self-expression, revealing their beauty and their secrets through metaphors and fictional characters.

INFPs’ ability with language doesn’t stop with their native tongue, either – as with most people who share the Diplomat personality types, they are considered gifted when it comes to learning a second (or third!) language. Their gift for communication also lends itself well to INFPs’ desire for harmony, a recurring theme with Diplomats, and helps them to move forward as they find their calling.

Listen to Many People, but Talk to Few

Unlike their Extraverted cousins though, INFPs will focus their attention on just a few people, a single worthy cause – spread too thinly, they’ll run out of energy, and even become dejected and overwhelmed by all the bad in the world that they can’t fix. This is a sad sight for INFPs’ friends, who will come to depend on their rosy outlook.

If they are not careful, INFPs can lose themselves in their quest for good and neglect the day-to-day upkeep that life demands. INFPs often drift into deep thought, enjoying contemplating the hypothetical and the philosophical more than any other personality type. Left unchecked, INFPs may start to lose touch, withdrawing into “hermit mode”, and it can take a great deal of energy from their friends or partner to bring them back to the real world.

Luckily, like the flowers in spring, INFP’s affection, creativity, altruism and idealism will always come back, rewarding them and those they love perhaps not with logic and utility, but with a world view that inspires compassion, kindness and beauty wherever they go.
