consciouslifenews--2020-11-29--True Freedom: None But Ourselves Can Free Our Minds

In a reality where the “ free ” world has been slowly dismantled and taken over by tyranny , it seemed appropriate to write about none other than “ freedom ” .
Now , freedom is a concept that can mean many different things to many different people .
One might consider freedom only in the context of nations , war , government , and politics .
Others might narrow it down a bit further to a personal level and say that freedom is in fact a state of mind and that true freedom involves taking full responsibility for the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Where does freedom come from ?
Is it given to us by our President and government officials ?
Do more freedoms “ get assigned ” to certain people over others based merely on the chance of where one incarnates onto the planet and/or what class our family happens to find itself in ?
( With the richest getting afforded the most freedoms , of course ) .
Or is freedom something we ’ re irremovably born with and because we are part of Source Creation , we can never be denied this truth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the All , we are thus rightly gifted with the freedom to be our authentic , co-Creator selves , living in full awareness of who and what we are , clear in our purpose , path , and power ?
Well , I believe both to be simultaneously true .
How so ?
Because I believe that in this world of duality that we live in , there are illusory freedoms and organic freedoms .
The illusory freedoms are the ones we are taught to believe are real via our parents , schools @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Hollywood , and cultures under various types of governments .
These are the status quo cogs that keep the wheels of the Matrix system of permits and licenses running .
On a more personal level , each and every thought we have is either a submission of consent to a current belief system , an outside opinion or influence , or is affected by new information/other thoughts and is therefore changed .
So , if you think about it , each and every thought you have can be a radical act of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Orwell ’ s 1984 : “ thought criminal ” .
And this is also how “ freedom ” on the purest level , truly is an inside job ; because no one can ever take away your soul ’ s essence ; your inner fire and spark that makes you , YOU .
, ( regardless of what is occurring “ out there ” on the outside , in your surroundings ) retain your power to choose one thought over another .
Will your next thought imprison you further into a negative belief @ @ @ @ @ @ @ possibility ?
The energy surrounding this obvious transformation of society is literally forcing us a species to acknowledge our individual power and to finally realize that the only thing that separates us is our own beliefs of separation .
That inner space where when you part the waves of thought creation and all is still , the place where connection to Source and zero-point occur…that is where you are most free ; because in that space there is no time .

consciouslifenews--2020-11-29--Two Eclipses + Great Conjunction: BIG December 2020 Energy Forecast

2020 has been a year to remember and it definitely isn ’ t over yet .
December is packing a real punch !
You can chalk it up to two eclipses and immensely powerful conjunction between Saturn and Jupiter that will officially kick off the Age of Aquarius .
But don ’ t fret .
This is good news .
I feel like this is a time when you can take all those hard-earned , experience-learned lessons of Covid year and cash them in .
This is why my main goal in this forecast is to summarize the key dates @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how to make the most of them .
But first , let me say that this forecast is part of a momentum that ’ s been building all fall .
So if you haven ’ t seen the previous three energy forecasts , please check them out : As usual , I ’ m going to share the month ’ s three biggest themes , plus four very important dates and two Goddess cards .
The first Goddess card informs the first half of the month and the second Goddess card influences the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ here are my themes for December : • Drawing Your Line in the Sand – It ’ s time for you to really stand for all that you believe in and all that you are ( watch the video to see why it ’ s important that you draw your line in the SAND , rather than something more immutable ) .
• Recognizing and Releasing Unconscious Fear Responses – Covid has given us lots of individual and collective practice in identifying our fears about material world woes .
Ironically , experiencing more @ @ @ @ @ @ @ us to have less .
Why ?
Because we lived through it .
We ’ ve can put things in a better perspective .
The limits of this year have ironically given us wider spiritual breadth .
• Huge Re-Set : Ushering in the New Age of Aquarius – in the video , I explain why Saturn and Jupiter ( conjunct in Aquarius December 21 ) kick off this a whole new momentous spiritual “ aira ” ( yes , that ’ s a play on Aquarius being an air sign ) .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ key dates this month because they ’ re super big and important .
I don ’ t want them to get lost in the minutia of lesser dates .
So here they are : NOVEMBER 30 at 1:30 am Pacific there ’ s a full moon in Gemini that ’ s also a partial lunar eclipse .
Gemini became our North Node May 5 of this year , so it ’ s the soul lesson/new learning we ’ re all moving into .
This full moon feels like the first wave of growth @ @ @ @ @ @ @ midterm test .
And the subject matter is our movement out of old , stuck ( especially unconscious ) Sagittarius beliefs into new more effective Gemini ideas and ways of communicating with ourselves and others .
How do we pass the test ?
Since full moons are culminating and letting go ( and an eclipse the effect ) , take a little time to examine your beliefs and the things you say to yourself really closely .
Become aware of which ones you inherited from your lineage , past lives or current culture @ @ @ @ @ @ @ In other words , look at the crusty , rusty beliefs that you ’ ve allowed to turn into assumptions .
The irony here is that they ’ re the hardest to find because they ’ re hiding right under our noses .
And the key here is to take on these ways of being .
If you come to a fork in the road , .
This Gemini full moon is the perfect time to cut loose from old habits and beliefs and forge a new way of being and doing things @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the stars are definitely on your side !
DECEMBER 14 at 8:16 am we have a new moon in Sagittarius and a full solar eclipse at 5:33 am .
New moons are a fresh start and solar eclipses magnify that greatly , so this marks a whole new beginning .
The sign of Sagittarius is a really happy , likable lucky one .
Ruled by Jupiter which is related to crown chakra energy , Jupiter helps us take a big step deeper into our spirituality .
And this step prepares us for… DECEMBER @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and the Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius .
Every 20 years , these two outer planets meet up ( an important event which has earned the name “ the Great Conjunction ” ) .
But for the past 218 years , these two have been meeting up in signs .
Or in other words , they ’ ve been influencing But this year , they ’ re communing in an air sign .
And not just any air sign — Aquarius .
With both of them at 0 degrees !
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ beginning ) .
Whereas Jupiter is equivalent to crown chakra energy , Saturn is related to the root chakra .
These two getting super cozy ( less than one-tenth of one degree apart ! )
in Aquarius is a beautiful sign that ALL energy is starting anew in this benevolent air sign that represents a more spiritual , innovative , free-thinking way of life .
This movement also represents the embodiment and balance of the Sacred Masculine and Divine Feminine energies within us .
Watch the video and discover what another key celestial @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s my moon in its natal sign — this event is BIG for me and my chart ) .
December 29 at 7:28 pm Pacific there ’ s a full moon in Cancer .
Earlier this year ( May 4 ) we completed our other collective soul lesson of 2020 when we moved from the South Node of Capricorn to the North Node of Cancer .
In the video , I describe what this lesson is and how we ’ re getting a chance to re-embrace and celebrate it here at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ all about loving motherly energy , our home , our emotions , and our inner security .
How have you grown in these areas this year ?
This is the time to celebrate that .
At the end of the video , I pulled two Goddess cards .
They were right on !
And I inadvertently kept showing another Goddess card to the camera .
It was at the bottom of the deck — and it was perfect too .
I think she just had to be in the reading , so she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ three Goddesses showed up .
In the video , I make suggestions for little rituals you can do at each date .
But when speaking of the Great Conjunction , I got so excited , I left off the ritual part .
So that will be coming in another post closer to the event .
That ’ s it for now , Beautiful Soul .
I hope this video and vlog help you navigate this pinnacle month of an unforgettable year .
For me , it ’ s been the single most growth-oriented @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve been on this planet quite a while — hee hee ) .
How about you ?

2020 has been a year to remember and it definitely isn’t over yet. December is packing a real punch! You can chalk it up to two eclipses and immensely powerful conjunction between Saturn and Jupiter that will officially kick off the Age of Aquarius.
But don’t fret. This is good news. I feel like this is a time when you can take all those hard-earned, experience-learned lessons of Covid year and cash them in.
This is why my main goal in this forecast is to summarize the key dates of December and share some ideas for how to make the most of them.
Yes, let’s reap the rewards!
But first, let me say that this forecast is part of a momentum that’s been building all fall. So if you haven’t seen the previous three energy forecasts, please check them out:
September 2020 Energy Forecast
October 2020 Energy Forecast
November 2020 Energy Forecast
As usual, I’m going to share the month’s three biggest themes, plus four very important dates and two Goddess cards. The first Goddess card informs the first half of the month and the second Goddess card influences the last two weeks of 2020.
So here are my themes for December:
Drawing Your Line in the Sand – It’s time for you to really stand for all that you believe in and all that you are (watch the video to see why it’s important that you draw your line in the SAND, rather than something more immutable). Recognizing and Releasing Unconscious Fear Responses – Covid has given us lots of individual and collective practice in identifying our fears about material world woes. Ironically, experiencing more fear this year has led many of us to have less. Why? Because we lived through it. We’ve can put things in a better perspective. The limits of this year have ironically given us wider spiritual breadth. Huge Re-Set: Ushering in the New Age of Aquarius – in the video, I explain why Saturn and Jupiter (tightly conjunct in Aquarius December 21) kick off this a whole new momentous spiritual “aira” (yes, that’s a play on Aquarius being an air sign).
I’m only focusing on four key dates this month because they’re super big and important. I don’t want them to get lost in the minutia of lesser dates. So here they are:
NOVEMBER 30 at 1:30 am Pacific there’s a full moon in Gemini that’s also a partial lunar eclipse. Gemini became our North Node May 5 of this year, so it’s the soul lesson/new learning we’re all moving into. This full moon feels like the first wave of growth. Like we’re taking the midterm test. And the subject matter is our movement out of old, stuck (especially unconscious) Sagittarius beliefs into new more effective Gemini ideas and ways of communicating with ourselves and others.
How do we pass the test?
Since full moons are culminating and letting go (and an eclipse magnifies the effect), take a little time to examine your beliefs and the things you say to yourself really closely. Become aware of which ones you inherited from your lineage, past lives or current culture that aren’t serving you.
In other words, look at the crusty, rusty beliefs that you’ve allowed to turn into assumptions. The irony here is that they’re the hardest to find because they’re hiding right under our noses.
And the key here is to take action on these ways of being. If you come to a fork in the road, choose the path less travelled. This Gemini full moon is the perfect time to cut loose from old habits and beliefs and forge a new way of being and doing things. It might be scary, but the stars are definitely on your side!
DECEMBER 14 at 8:16 am we have a new moon in Sagittarius and a full solar eclipse at 5:33 am. New moons are a fresh start and solar eclipses magnify that greatly, so this marks a whole new beginning.
The sign of Sagittarius is a really happy, likable lucky one. Ruled by Jupiter which is related to crown chakra energy, Jupiter helps us take a big step deeper into our spirituality. And this step prepares us for…
DECEMBER 21 – Solstice (Winter here) and the Great Conjunction of Saturn and Jupiter in Aquarius. Every 20 years, these two outer planets meet up (an important event which has earned the name “the Great Conjunction”). But for the past 218 years, these two have been meeting up in earth signs. Or in other words, they’ve been influencing material world matters.
But this year, they’re communing in an air sign. And not just any air sign — Aquarius. With both of them at 0 degrees! (0 degrees is a brand new beginning). Whereas Jupiter is equivalent to crown chakra energy, Saturn is related to the root chakra. These two getting super cozy (less than one-tenth of one degree apart!) in Aquarius is a beautiful sign that ALL energy is starting anew in this benevolent air sign that represents a more spiritual, innovative, free-thinking way of life.
This movement also represents the embodiment and balance of the Sacred Masculine and Divine Feminine energies within us. Watch the video and discover what another key celestial body is at 0 degrees (it’s my moon in its natal sign — this event is BIG for me and my chart).
December 29 at 7:28 pm Pacific there’s a full moon in Cancer. Earlier this year (May 4) we completed our other collective soul lesson of 2020 when we moved from the South Node of Capricorn to the North Node of Cancer. In the video, I describe what this lesson is and how we’re getting a chance to re-embrace and celebrate it here at the end of the year. Cancer is all about loving motherly energy, our home, our emotions, and our inner security.
How have you grown in these areas this year? This is the time to celebrate that.
At the end of the video, I pulled two Goddess cards. They were right on! And I inadvertently kept showing another Goddess card to the camera. It was at the bottom of the deck — and it was perfect too. I think she just had to be in the reading, so she photo-bombed it! Watch and discover which three Goddesses showed up.
In the video, I make suggestions for little rituals you can do at each date. But when speaking of the Great Conjunction, I got so excited, I left off the ritual part. So that will be coming in another post closer to the event.
That’s it for now, Beautiful Soul. I hope this video and vlog help you navigate this pinnacle month of an unforgettable year. For me, it’s been the single most growth-oriented year of my life (and I’ve been on this planet quite a while — hee hee). How about you?

consciouslifenews--2020-11-29--A Doctor Gives A Very Careful Answer About The Safety of a New COVID-19 Vaccine

Since the first positive results on vaccines have come out , a lot of people have asked me if I think everyone should take them ?
For some reason , a number of people out there trust my judgement on such things .
I noticed that the Daily Mail recently ran a poll , which showed that three quarters of Britons would agree to have a jab – although 40 percent wanted politicians to take it first to prove it was safe .
Frankly , I pity any vaccine injected into certain politicians , as I am not certain it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ majority of Daily Mail readers right to be so enthusiastic about vaccination ?
I must admit that I write this article with some caution , because I am acutely aware that the slightest hint of criticism of a vaccine , any vaccine , is risky .
As I remarked to a friend recently , the moment anyone says ‘ vaccine ’ , the only acceptable response is to leap to your feet and salute , whilst singing Ode to Joy .
Followed by fifteen minutes of enthusiastic clapping .
Failure to do so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ shot for thought crimes .
Doubleplusgood , indeed .
The first thing I want to say here is that the type of vaccine being developed against Covid-19 has never been used before , outside of Ebola .
Some people feel that they should not really be called vaccines , because they are completely different from anything that has gone before .
Up to now , vaccination has meant injecting a dead virus ( or bacteria ) , or one that has been weakened and can only poorly replicate , or parts of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the body , the immune system spots this ‘ alien ’ material , and creates a response against it , which will hopefully be remembered for years and years .
The next time the dangerous virus appears , the body will use the immune memory of something very similar , to wipe out the virus ( or bacteria ) at high speed , giving it no chance to do damage .
The first ever ‘ vaccine ’ worked by using the cowpox virus to immunise against smallpox .
It had been noticed that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ mild disease in humans , did not then get smallpox .
It was Edward Jenner who wondered how , or why , this happened .
In 1796 , he scraped material from cowpox sores , and then scratched it into the skin of people uninfected with smallpox , to see if they would be protected .
His first volunteer was a young boy , who he ‘ immunised ’ with cowpox scrapings .
Jenner then tried to infect the boy with smallpox scrapings .
A form of research that would be rather frowned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ boy survived , and vaccination was born .
Everything since has been a variation on this theme , of using a less dangerous ‘ thing ’ to create a defence against a damaging infection .
Until now .
Now , we have a thing called a messenger RNA vaccine ( mRNA ) .
RNA is , effectively , a single strand of DNA – the double helix that sits within our cells and makes up our genetic code .
Many viruses are made up of a single strand of RNA , surrounded by @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cell , take over the replication systems , make thousands of copies of themselves , then exit the cell .
Sometimes killing the cell as they do so , sometimes exiting more gently .
Covid19 ( Sars-Cov2 ) is an RNA virus .
Knowing this , rather than attempting to create a weakened virus , which can take years , or break the virus into bits , the vaccine researchers decided to use Sars-Cov2 ’ s RNA against itself .

The type of vaccine being developed against the virus has never – outside of Ebola – been used before. The trials have been extremely rushed & involved testing only small numbers. What could possibly go wrong?
Since the first positive results on vaccines have come out, a lot of people have asked me if I think everyone should take them? For some reason, a number of people out there trust my judgement on such things.
I noticed that the Daily Mail recently ran a poll, which showed that three quarters of Britons would agree to have a jab – although 40 percent wanted politicians to take it first to prove it was safe. Frankly, I pity any vaccine injected into certain politicians, as I am not certain it would survive.
Anyway, are the majority of Daily Mail readers right to be so enthusiastic about vaccination? I must admit that I write this article with some caution, because I am acutely aware that the slightest hint of criticism of a vaccine, any vaccine, is risky.
As I remarked to a friend recently, the moment anyone says ‘vaccine’, the only acceptable response is to leap to your feet and salute, whilst singing Ode to Joy. Followed by fifteen minutes of enthusiastic clapping. Failure to do so, means you are taken out and shot for thought crimes. Doubleplusgood, indeed.
The first thing I want to say here is that the type of vaccine being developed against Covid-19 has never been used before, outside of Ebola. Some people feel that they should not really be called vaccines, because they are completely different from anything that has gone before.
Up to now, vaccination has meant injecting a dead virus (or bacteria), or one that has been weakened and can only poorly replicate, or parts of the virus, or suchlike. Once inside the body, the immune system spots this ‘alien’ material, and creates a response against it, which will hopefully be remembered for years and years.
The next time the dangerous virus appears, the body will use the immune memory of something very similar, to wipe out the virus (or bacteria) at high speed, giving it no chance to do damage. The first ever ‘vaccine’ worked by using the cowpox virus to immunise against smallpox.
It had been noticed that milkmaids who caught cowpox, a relatively mild disease in humans, did not then get smallpox. It was Edward Jenner who wondered how, or why, this happened. In 1796, he scraped material from cowpox sores, and then scratched it into the skin of people uninfected with smallpox, to see if they would be protected.
His first volunteer was a young boy, who he ‘immunised’ with cowpox scrapings. Jenner then tried to infect the boy with smallpox scrapings. A form of research that would be rather frowned upon today. Luckily, the young boy survived, and vaccination was born. Everything since has been a variation on this theme, of using a less dangerous ‘thing’ to create a defence against a damaging infection. Until now.
Now, we have a thing called a messenger RNA vaccine (mRNA). RNA is, effectively, a single strand of DNA – the double helix that sits within our cells and makes up our genetic code. Many viruses are made up of a single strand of RNA, surrounded by a protein sphere.
They enter the cell, take over the replication systems, make thousands of copies of themselves, then exit the cell. Sometimes killing the cell as they do so, sometimes exiting more gently. Covid19 (Sars-Cov2) is an RNA virus.
Knowing this, rather than attempting to create a weakened virus, which can take years, or break the virus into bits, the vaccine researchers decided to use Sars-Cov2’s RNA against itself. To do this, they isolated the section of RNA which codes for the ‘spike’ protein – which is the thing the virus uses as a ‘key’ to enter cells.
They then worked out how to insert this small section of RNA, messenger RNA, into the cell, where it takes over a part of the protein replication mechanisms that sit inside all cells. They turn the mechanism into a 3D printer, churning out copies of the spike protein.
These spike proteins then leave the cell – somehow or other, this bit is unclear. The immune system comes across them, recognises them as ‘alien’ and attacks. In doing so, antibodies are created, and the immune memory system kicks into action. If, later on, a Sars-Cov2 virus gets into the body, the immune system fires up and attacks the remembered spike protein. Hopefully killing the entire virus.
This is all, certainly very clever stuff. What, as they say, could possibly go wrong?
The first thing to say is that, with something this new, we don’t really know. It could be that it is absolutely 100 percent safe. We are told that none of the mRNA can get into the nucleus of the cell, where it could become incorporated into the DNA. I hope so. Could it trigger an immune cascade? I hope not.
I know that the researchers will be looking very, very, closely at the novel safety issues that could emerge. If they are not, they damned well should be. However, the timelines here are very short. It normally takes many years to create safe and effective vaccines. Here is it happening in, effectively, weeks.
The early stage human safety studies have been crammed very tightly together. In addition, we will also have very little information on such things as whether or not the vaccine actually reduces serious infections or death, as noted by Professor Haseltine in a recent article: “These [vaccine] protocols do not emphasize the most important ramifications of COVID-19 that people are most interested in preventing: overall infection, hospitalization, and death.” Prof. Haseltine also argues that the trials have all been “designed to succeed.”
The reality is that we are rushing and rushing. There are very good reasons for this rush, but I advise caution. Should everyone take the vaccine? Probably yes for those at highest risk of serious infection and death, where the potential benefit is high. As for anyone healthy, under the age of sixty, I would wait. As I shall be.

Sleep deprivation leaves a person feeling helpless, weaker, and functioning less than optimally. But what’s even worse about being sleep deprived is the list of significant risks that can be caused by lack of sleep. Insomnia can lead to a weakened immune system and frequent mood changes. You can experience memory issues and have trouble focusing while being more at risk of having accidents.
Insomnia leads to a higher risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes. You may even experience a low sex drive and poor balance. Accordingly, addressing your lack of sleep is not only essential to feel adequately rested, but it is critical to minimize the risk of chronic health issues. Luckily, a natural compound on the market is making waves and proving to provide life-changing benefits for those who use it.
What is CBD?
Cannabinol (CBD) comes from the Cannabis Sativa plant, but unlike marijuana, CBD does not have psychoactive effects. This means that you cannot get high from CBD or become addicted to it. This natural compound has been around for thousands of years, but only recently have researchers been given more freedom to study it and explore its myriad of benefits.
Although much still needs to be known about CBD, what researchers know so far is that it works on the endocannabinoid system (ECS). The latter manages critical systems to maintain homeostasis — balance in the body, affecting essential functions such as body temperature, appetite, mood, fertility, and even sleep.
Researchers have yet to explain how CBD affects the work of the ECS. What is known so far is that CBD signals to the ECS’s receptors, which run throughout the mind and body.
Thanks to its growing popularity, finding high-quality Discover CBD products has never been easier. There are CBD gummies, balms, bath bombs, and even candles. Visit elannaturals.com to experience their all-natural CBD products, such as bath bombs, pain sticks, and tinctures that can benefit peace of mind from natural cannabidiol.
How can CBD help with insomnia?
What is fascinating about CBD is that it works when you want to fall asleep and wish to stay more alert. In low doses, CBD helps eliminate daytime sleepiness and grogginess to enable you to feel more energetic. In higher doses, CBD will help you feel drowsier and minimize the time it takes you to fall asleep.
CBD minimizes nightmares
When PTSD is the culprit of your insomnia, it can be hard to have a good night’s sleep if nightmares frequently awaken you. CBD can help in this case by minimizing nightmares.
Researchers have observed how CBD can minimize REM sleep. The latter is a critical part of our sleep cycle. It is the deepest part of the sleep cycle, and it is here that our memories and dreams are processed.
Accordingly, it is not ideal to eliminate REM sleep permanently. However, for a short period, eliminating REM sleep to experience a respite from trauma can help the person rest for proper restoration.
CBD eases stress and anxiety
Stress and anxiety can also lead to a lack of sleep, especially if you experience a heightened sense of worry once you get into bed, which turns into a full-blown panic attack. There are many ways you can manage stress and anxiety in a healthy manner, such as with exercise, better time management, and by surrounding yourself with a support group. CBD can also help in this area.
For many users who have taken CBD, the experience has been a positive one, with many sharing how their negative feelings and thoughts seem more distant, and they feel more peaceful. Studies regarding the effects of CBD on anxiety also back up what users say.
In one study, researchers observed how CBD could signal to the ECS receptors for more serotonin to be released. Serotonin is critical for mood as low serotonin is correlated with people who have depression.
CBD combats other factors of insomnia
Sometimes, insomnia could be the result of chronic pain or withdrawal from addiction. Luckily, researchers have found encouraging evidence of CBD combatting both of these. In one study on rats suffering from arthritis, researchers observed that their pain was minimized when given a CBD dose. The same positive results were observed with rats with multiple sclerosis with CBD reducing inflammation in the joints.
CBD also helps manage cravings for nicotine and opioids thanks to the calming effects on the user. In giving users a feeling of general well-being, those cutting back from nicotine and opioids found it easier to dismiss their cravings.
Wrapping Up
Although CBD can help clear your mind, give you a sense of peace, and enable you to sleep soundly, you mustn’t use it to avoid the bigger problem. Your insomnia is caused by something, and only by addressing your issues can you solve your poor sleeping habits.

Ann Wilson of Heart performs a rousing rendition of the song “The Revolution Starts Now.” The lyrics below:
“The Revolution Starts Now.” by Steve Earle
I was walkin' down the street
In the town where I was born
I was movin' to a beat
That I'd never felt before
So I opened up my eyes
And I took a look around
I saw it written ‘cross the sky
The revolution starts now
Yeah, the revolution starts now
The revolution starts now
When you rise above your fear
And tear the walls around you down
The revolution starts here
Where you work and where you play
Where you lay your money down
What you do and what you say
The revolution starts now
Yeah the revolution starts now
Yeah the revolution starts now
In your own backyard
In your own hometown
So what you doin' standin' around?
Just follow your heart
The revolution starts now
Last night I had a dream
That the world had turned around
And all our hopes had come to be
And the people gathered 'round
They all brought what they could bring
And nobody went without
And I learned a song to sing
The revolution starts now

To say that 2020 has been a challenging year for most of us is a profoundly serious understatement. While it’s easy to fall into quiet despair, now might actually be the best time to cultivate positive mental health habits, one of them being gratitude.
Paradoxically, suffering can yield a grateful heart, if approached with care and mindfulness. As reported by CNN Health:1
“In his 1994 book, ‘A Whole New Life,’ Duke University English professor Reynolds Price describes how his battle with a spinal cord tumor that left him partially paralyzed also taught him a great deal about what it means to really live.
After surgery, Price describes ‘a kind of stunned beatitude.’ With time, though diminished in many ways by his tumor and its treatment, he learns to pay closer attention to the world around him and those who populate it
A brush with death can open our eyes. Some of us emerge with a deepened appreciation for the preciousness of each day, a clearer sense of our real priorities and a renewed commitment to celebrating life. In short, we can become more grateful, and more alive, than ever.”
Inspirational speaker and YouTube sensation Claire Wineland also embodied this truth. This lovely young woman died in 2018 at the age of 21 from a massive stroke following an otherwise successful lung transplant.2 Born with cystic fibrosis — a progressive and terminal genetic disease — she spent the bulk of her short life inspiring people to “love what is,”3 to love every breath; to not waste life and to make a life that matters.

Together, we are making a difference though. While it’s certainly true that we still have a long way to go, in time, I believe truth and sanity will prevail. We just have to maintain a positive attitude and keep going, keep searching for the truth, and share it when we find it.
Tap Your Way to Gratitude
If the daily news steers your mind in unproductive circles and stirs your anxiety, consider unplugging and taking a holiday from it. The Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can also be a helpful tool if you struggle with pessimism.
EFT is a form of psychological acupressure based on the energy meridians used in acupuncture. It’s an effective way to quickly restore your inner balance and healing and helps rid your mind of negative thoughts and emotions. In the video above, EFT practitioner Julie Schiffman demonstrates how to tap for gratitude.
Practical Strategies to Strengthen Your Gratitude
Aside from EFT and journaling, there are many other strategies that can help you flex your gratitude muscle. Following are a diverse array of practices, recommended by various experts and researchers,13 that can boost your gratitude quotient. Pick one or more that appeal to you, and make a point to work it into your daily or weekly schedule.
If you like, conduct your own little experiment: Write down your current level of happiness and life satisfaction on a piece of paper or your annual calendar, using a rating system of zero to 10. Every three months or so (provided you’ve actually been doing your gratitude exercise), re-evaluate and re-rank yourself.

As details on the latest COVID vaccine contenders flood the news cycle on a daily basis, reports of concerns regarding the safety and efficacy of the vaccine are widespread among many demographics, even including the professional medical community.
As vaccine hesitancy grows agencies, including the World Health Organization (WHO), are stepping up efforts to build vaccine confidence through public relations and communications campaigns.
Surveys reveal vaccine hesitancy
Researchers from the University of California Los Angeles’ Karin Fielding School of Public Health surveyed healthcare personnel working in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. As the Washington Post reported, they found that two-thirds (66.5%) of healthcare workers “intend to delay vaccination,” meaning they do not intend to get the COVID vaccine when it becomes available. They plan instead of reviewing the data once it’s widely administered and proven safe.
Seventy-six percent of the vaccine-hesitant healthcare workers cited the “fast-tracked vaccine development” as a primary reason for their concerns. Typically, vaccines take between eight to 10 years to develop, Dr. Emily Erbelding, an infectious disease expert at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN in an article titled, “The timetable for a coronavirus vaccine is 18 months. Experts say that’s risky.”
The coronavirus vaccine frontrunners — Pfizer, Moderna, and AstraZeneca — are expected to make their debut in January. The pharmaceutical giants have exponentially accelerated the average safety and review timeline for vaccine development and production, to get the vaccines to market in under a year. Erbelding admitted that the accelerated pace will involve “not looking at all the data.”
Susan Bailey, president of the American Medical Association, said in a video that the number of physicians expressing hesitancy was “unprecedented” and “posed a real risk” to public confidence in vaccines.
A recent Gallup poll showed that only 58% of Americans plan on getting the COVID vaccine when it’s available. An October poll conducted by Zogby found that nearly 50% of Americans have concerns about the safety of the coming COVID vaccines.
A new collaborative survey project by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and Langer Research found that Black and Latinx Americans are overwhelmingly concerned about the coming COVID vaccine.
The survey, as reported in the Washington Post, claims to be “one of the largest and most rigorous conducted on this topic to date.” It found that only 14% of Black Americans trust that a vaccine will be safe, while only 34% of Latinx Americans trust it will be safe.
The survey also found, in the context of COVID, only 19% percent of Black Americans trust drug companies, while less than a third trust the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to “look after their interests.”
According to the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, a group of medical experts who advise the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), fears surrounding the painful or harmful side-effects of the COVID vaccine are rooted in reality.
According to CNBC, during a virtual Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices’ meeting on Nov. 23, Dr. Sandra Fryhofer told fellow CDC officials that patients need to be aware that the side effects from the COVID vaccines “will not be a walk in the park.” Fryhofer acknowledged that side effects from the vaccines have been reported to mimic symptoms of a mild case of COVID, including muscle pain, fever, chills, and headache.
Fryhofer, who explained that both Pfizer’s and Moderna’s COVID vaccines require two doses, worries that her patients might not come back for a second dose after experiencing potentially unpleasant side effects after the first shot.
As a participant of the Moderna vaccine trials noted “it was the sickest I’ve ever been.”
Health officials try to combat vaccine hesitancy
Despite this, officials at the forefront of the COVID response plan to combat vaccine safety concerns and hesitancy using, what some are calling questionable psychological techniques.
For example, the WHO, which named “vaccine hesitancy” as the top global public health threat, has hired the PR firm Hill + Knowlton to identify micro-influencers, macro-influencers, and “hidden heroes” on social media who could covertly promote the organization’s image as a COVID authority in order to “ensure WHO’s advice and guidance is followed.”
Cass Sunstein, the chairman of WHO’s Technical Advisory Group on Behavioral Insights, recently wrote an article in Bloomberg in which he promoted the use of popular celebrities, athletes, and actors as tools for vaccine persuasion against those who “lack vaccine confidence.”
“Trusted politicians, athletes or actors — thought to be ‘one of us’ rather than ‘one of them’ — might explicitly endorse vaccination and report that they themselves have gotten the vaccine,” Sunstein wrote.
Then there’s the “Guide to COVID-19 Vaccine Communications,” developed by the University of Florida and the United Nations that aims to help governments improve COVID vaccine uptake. The authors of the guide promote the tactic of covertly using trusted community leaders to help with pro-vaccine information.
Citing vaccine hesitancy among the African American community, the guide suggests that barbershops and hair salons in predominantly black neighborhoods might be tapped to help disseminate approved vaccine messaging.
