Is Barefoot Contact With the Earth Necessary For Health?
The civilized man has built a coach, but has lost the use of his feet. ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Feeling “grounded” is an increasingly uncommon experience in this day and age, and it should be, considering we no longer regularly touch the groundwith our bare feet, as nature intended.
It is no great mystery that the human foot was designed, over countless millenia, to be in direct contact with the Earth, the literal and symbolic ground of our being. And the Earth is no inert substance, but rather a living and breathing entity (of which we are but a mere part) capable of infusing us with its life, ‘singing the body electric,’ as Walt Whitman once mused.
Indeed, the Earth breathes life into us through a continual stream of free electrons…
“It is well established, though not widely known, that the surface of the earth possesses a 
— James L Oschman, Can electrons act as antioxidants? : A review and commentary
The effects of which James Oschman speaks are not simply theoretical. There are a wide range of measurable changes in the body associated with this “grounding” including changes in pulse rate, respiratory rate, blood oxygenation, perfusion index, and skin conductance which have been clinically studied.
Grounding has also been shown to reduce delayed onset muscle soreness, lowers and synchronizes cortisol levels during sleep, reduce inflammation, modulates neurological function, and reduce oxidative stress.
A new study published last month in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health covers this topic in greater depth, and is well worth the read.
I also encourage you to take a look at Juil.com, a relatively new range of earthing footwear. By including copper conductors within their footwear, Juil offers a natural conduit between your feet and the earth’s surface, helping to release built-up free radicals and supporting your health and wellbeing.

Medical Marijuana Remains Federally Illegal.. Yet Synthetic Marijuana Has Been Approved by DEA
I’m so sick of the hypocrasy!!! Why do we continue to roll over and accept this? What do we do? When will it end? How do we stop this? -The Oily Guru
PLEASE SHARE to promote awareness!!!!
Why the DEA Supports Synthetic Marijuana but Shuns Organic Marijuana
Ironically, the DEA has agreed to allow a manufacturer of fentanyl to produce synthetic marijuana that is supposedly more medicinally useful than genuine marijuana. What’s even more suspicious—or questionable—is that this company called Insys Therapeutics previously donated $500,000 to prevent marijuana from being legalized in Arizona. Nevertheless, the DEA has approved the manufacture and distribution (with prescription) of the drug Syndros: liquid synthetic THC, a schedule 2 controlled substance. Yet, genuine marijuana will remain classified as a schedule 1 controlled substance alongside drugs like heroine—drugs which are said to have zero medicinal value whatsoever.
Insys founder John Kapoor has already been arrested for bribing doctors and defrauding insurance companies regarding an extremely lucrative fentanyl nasal spray drug that has helped him maintain his billionaire status. Numerous states have lawsuits out against Kapoor and his company for directly causing America’s opioid crisis, which is likely to become the leading cause of death in the United States as a whole unless drastic action is taken to combat it—and its masterminds.
Kapoor’s fentanyl nasal spray is approximately 50 times more potent than heroin, and Kapoor is fully aware that even though marijuana is likely safer and more effective than his drug, acknowledging or accepting these facts would make his lucrative and dangerous drugs worthless.
Kapoor’s scheme worked perfectly: Arizona is the only state that had legalizing marijuana on the ballot in 2016 that didn’t end up with overwhelming support in favor of legalization. However, it’s certainly not the first time that heartless and soulless pharmaceutical companies have funded anti-marijuana propaganda: there’s a reason marijuana still hasn’t been legalized nationwide despite the fact that an overwhelming number of scientists and experts have argued that doing so could easily prevent unnumbered opioid addictions and deaths.
In fact, it’s now known that the CBD component in marijuana is efficient and effective at treating epilepsy. Additionally, it could potentially aid in treating Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s, anxiety, and depression. CBD has been shown to ease inflammation, provide antioxidants, and decrease pain and suffering. All-in-all, modern research argues that marijuana should not be scheduled as an illegal drug at all, let alone as a schedule 1 controlled substance.
Kapoor is out on $1 million bail; Insys President and CEO Saeed Motahari has been handling his PR. It turns out that the drug Syndros is similar to another synthetic THC called Marinol, which was previously approved by the FDA to treat anorexia brought on by AIDS or cancer. Unfortunately, since cannabis is organic and cannot be patented (in general—in some cases, specific strands could be patented), expensive and less-safe alternatives to marijuana will continue to be rammed down the throats and lungs of Americans who would prefer to ingest more healthier and organic alternatives.
Over half the states have already legalized some form of medicinal marijuana, but the FDA will continue to refuse to remove cannabis from the schedule 1 category until the public forces them to do so. If you do not agree with the following statements made on behalf of the DEA, please ensure that your voice and your viewpoint is heard: “two commenters expressed concern that pharmaceutical companies are making a profit from approved drugs containing marijuana constituents. The DEA notes that FDA-approved products of oral solutions containing dronabinol [THC] have an approved medical use, whereas marijuana does not have an approved medical use and therefore remains in Schedule I.”

The 7 Cs For Fulfilling Your New Year’s Resolutions
This is the time of year when setting a 2018 New Year’s resolution is a popular topic. Many are having a conversation about goal setting either with others or silently within. Whatever your goals or dreams might be for the forthcoming year, keeping these seven things in mind may just help you achieve a few wins for you.
Seven Things To Consider When Setting Your 2018 New Year’s Resolution:
1. Conviction: Your goal should be something that you believe is best for you. The plan for your colleague might fit them perfectly but for whatever reason is not well suited for your lifestyle. If you aren’t convinced this is the right goal for you, then chances are the doubt will eventually override your ability to achieve the goal.
2. Capacity: Make sure you have the capacity to accomplish the resolution and within a reasonable time frame. For example, if your goal is to run a marathon in eight weeks and you’ve never run a mile, then this might not be a realistic dream. Sure, there are always exceptions to any rule, but don’t set yourself up for failure either.
3. Courage: Choosing a new path, rather it be for personal or professional reasons, can be filled with fear and angst. It takes a fair amount of courage to set forth on this new journey. For example, it might getting up the courage to ask for help. Recognizing that role courage can play in manifesting your goals is important.
4. Clarity: Be clear about your goal. Sometimes resolutions don’t work because they are vague, such as, “I want to feel better.” Ask yourself, if you desire to make an improvement in your professional or personal life and then get even clearer about the results you want to see. Having a clear picture of the outcome you desire will help you focus your attention on something very specific.
5. Compassion: As you probably know, things often seldom go as planned. You may spend hours researching and developing an action plan to help you manifest your goal and then something unforeseen occurs. Show yourself some compassion along the way and be gentle with the messages you send yourself. You may need to tweak things and modify your goal, but walking away completely might not be the answer.
6. Connection: Whenever you are embarking on a new journey, it helps to connect with individuals who are either on the same journey or may have accomplished your goal. In reaching out to them, you may learn some valuable lessons that will help you meet your goal, and in connecting with others they may inspire you to stay focused when things get tough.
7. Commitment: While this might seem obvious, if you can’t put forth the effort and time it takes to stay committed to your goal, chances are you won’t be successful. Manifesting a desired outcome often takes a lot of sweat (both literally and figuratively) and time. Rarely, do things just magically appear so a commitment to your resolution is key to success.
This is your time to ask yourself what you desire for the upcoming year in your personal and professional life. Seeking a new direction takes courage so be compassionate with the messages you are sending yourself along the way and don’t be afraid to ask for help.

These 3 Zodiac Signs Have The Strongest Sense Of Intuition
Three of the twelve Zodiac signs have the strongest intuition of all – is your astrological sign on the list?
The Zodiac sign is a window into the soul and reveals the inner-most hidden traits of the person born under that sign. The power of the Zodiac reveals the people who are born with the strongest natural intuition. Three signs in particular are known for having the strongest intuition of all.
The inner voice of these three signs speaks to them so clearly that they can trust their gut in just about everything. Having a strong intuition is a wonderful gift. Does your astrological sign have the gift of intuition?
#1 Scorpio
You are so passionate that your gut is like a second brain constantly operating at full capacity. You have a great ability of being able to read other people and find out their true intentions. Your own ruthlessness causes you to be very cautious with new people.
However, you are such a good judge of character, your intuition often finds the best qualities in people. Your intuition is also good at identifying fake friends faster than the average person. You have a great sense of who someone really is and you can see right through people when they’re being fake.
You’re like a walking lie-detector test and people hardly ever manage to fool you.
#2 Sagittarius
The Sagittarius is intuitive when they are able to meditate and reflect upon their situation. You find that you may not make the best snap judgement but when you are left alone to meditate upon the decision you often find the right solution.
Many times you decide to sleep on a decision and wake up the next morning with a clear vision for the path ahead. Even though you have access to this amazing intuition, you don’t always use it and sometimes you throw caution to the wind simply due to your nature.
Sometimes your intuition just tells you that it’s best to play things by ear and that is more than okay for you.
#3 Pisces
As a Pisces, you are naturally very intuitive and intellectual. You are always very reflective, contemplative, and thoughtful. You feel like you have a spiritual connection to the people you meet in your day to day life.
This connection you feel with people tells you a lot about them. A Pisces is always open-minded and follows their heart. For a Pisces their intuition flows straight from the heart.
You know you can always trust your heart because your heart is your biggest strength.
