By Dr. Mercola | Waking Times
In this interview, Brian Hoyer — one of the primary consultants for my latest book, “EMF*D” — discusses how electromagnetic field (EMF) radiation may be impacting the COVID-19 epidemic and your infection risk. Many have raised questions about whether there is a connection between 5G and this pandemic.
In some ways, the connection between COVID-19 and 5G is a moot issue. In other ways, it’s not. Either way, it’s tangential to what you need to do now to protect yourself and your family from here on out. At the time of this interview, which took place March 31, 2020, a vast majority of those who have died from COVID-19 were elderly.
Those who died in China and Italy under the age of 50 have generally been encumbered with obesity, diabetes and hypertension, with insulin resistance being the common denominator. Very few under the age of 19 are affected.
That said, the infection appears to be more aggressive than influenza in older individuals, and the illness lasts longer than the regular flu. So, there’s enhanced virulence to this virus for some reason we yet do not understand. While unproven, one current theory is that EMF radiation — and the addition of 5G in particular — could be having an impact.
Electrification and Global Illness
Hoyer cites data from Dr. Arthur Firstenberg’s book, “The Invisible Rainbow,” in which he catalogued epidemiological evidence showing that as electrification of the world was implemented, throughout the course of history, viral pandemics ensued.
“The big one in there that’s been cited on the internet about possible connection to 5G is, if you go back to 1918 when the Spanish flu went around the world, that was when the first radio telegraphs were more widely used.
You see the Spanish flu popping up all over the world, but [not] in a way [that would suggest] we are passing it from person to person, but [it popped up on] one side of the world to the other side of the world very quickly.
Today, we wouldn’t know if that’s happening because we travel so frequently. And there are theories out there about how viruses actually transmit from person to person … That said, what we have is probably the unhealthiest population in the history of mankind … as far as chronic conditions … We also have more sterility …
But we also have more practices of separation and decontamination, and all of those things are better than ever before. So why is this virus spreading so rapidly?
I believe it has to be the terrain of the individual and also environmental stressors that are creating this perfect storm where a virus has an easy way to get into the body and can actually reproduce on the cellular level inside of the human body. Which is really how viruses work. It’s not the same as bacteria. I think a lot of people have that false sense that a virus is just a smaller version of a bacteria.”
Viral Pandemics Coincide With Increases in EMF Exposure
In his book, Firstenberg brings up this concept that there is a connection between EMF and influenza. And, this connection existed far before the advent and introduction of man-made EMFs, which probably happened in very small quantities in the late 18th century.
But, he also describes something called the maunder minimum, which lasted from 1645 to 1715. Essentially, this was a period of time when the sun was very quiet and had very few or no sun spots.
Then, in 1727, the number of sun spots increased to over 100 for the first time in over a century. Now, I know this is ancient history, but it’s important to understand that because in 1728, influenza arrived in waves over the entire planet and it was the first flu pandemic in almost 150 years.
So, this is the first hint, at least historically, that there might be a connection between EMF and viral illness because, in the solar flare, you’re going to have increased radiation. The next major pandemic was in 1889, and the interesting part of this, which Hoyer mentioned, is that this infection was established pretty much everywhere all at once.
We obviously did not have transcontinental flights the way we did in the current COVID-19 disease. It appears to have emerged in Wuhan City, China, where, incidentally, 5G had recently been rolled out, but millions of people traveled in and out of that area and on to other parts of the world.
Well, the 1889 epidemic took place at a time when we didn’t have the ability to travel very fast or far. Yet, the pandemic emerged very rapidly in widely scattered regions around the world. Interestingly, in 1889, we saw the emergence of what Firstenberg calls power line harmonics. According to Firstenberg, that changed the Earth’s magnetic field, ushering in the 1889 influenza pandemic.
Next, there was the Spanish flu of 1918, which also spread far more rapidly than it could or should have were it spread through travel. In 1918, radio was the emerging technology. Firstenberg’s revised edition also mentions 5G technology.
In summary, his book builds a case for the theory that increases in EMFs, natural or man-made, might make us more susceptible or sensitive to viral illnesses. If natural EMF exposures have the ability to influence our biology, it’s not so hard to imagine that man-made exposures might have an exponential impact. Hoyer adds:
“Things are happening now that have never happened before. We [have] a lot of people who are electrosensitive. One of the things they report is that … they feel sick during lightning storms with influenza-type symptoms. Flashes of lightning create a radio frequency. It’s called microwave sickness in the literature.
A lot of people call it electromagnetic hypersensitivity or electrosensitivity, but in a lot of the literature, you have to look up microwave sickness … Then you’ll find these references to when storms come, when solar flares are active, people are getting more and more symptoms.
Depression is a huge thing that happens when there’s more solar radiation and also during a full moon even. So, there’s a lot of natural electromagnetic radiation that happens. Most of that is gradual, but with the radio frequency (RF) lightning pulses, those are definitely a pulsed phenomenon … I think it’s in the kilohertz range. But it varies … it’s never the same frequency, it’s always different.
You’ll actually hear it when the lightning goes off and if you have a really sensitive meter, when you turn on and off light switches, you can hear the arcing and there’s an RF that transmits out from that arcing that happens … Solar flares … can affect all types of electronics and can cause electromagnetic interference, and that is technically in the kilohertz to megahertz range.”
We Don’t Know What We Haven’t Studied
A significant problem with man-made EMFs is that they’re pulsed. We are also surrounded by RF radiation, both analog RF signals from radio stations and pulsed RF signals.
“A lot of times I wonder, ‘What would a real study look like if you have the 50 Hz to 60 Hz modulation and the RF and everything?’ Usually, in these studies, they’re just testing one thing in a controlled environment.
They’re never testing the entire soup that we’re constantly bathed in as human beings. We’re the big experiment here and they’re just testing one thing at a time in this Western medicine type of fashion,” Hoyer notes.
With regard to COVID-19, underlying health conditions clearly appear to play a role. However, we don’t know whether the use of certain drugs might have a bearing on the severity of the disease and its outcome.
For example, while French doctors say they’ve noticed a pattern that patients given ibuprofen fared worse than those given acetaminophen, their findings have been largely ignored simply because there are no studies to prove it.
When did clinical findings become useless? If anything, clinical suspicions should be rapidly considered and acted upon during an active pandemic when time is of the essence. At this time, we really need to listen to the medical professionals in the field who are treating patients.
Link Between 5G Implementation and COVID-19 Hotspots?
During a March 12, 2020, lecture at the Health and Human Rights Summit in Tucson, Arizona, Dr. Thomas Cowan likely stunned the audience by bringing up a potential connection between 5G and COVID-19.
By and large, many of the areas hardest hit by COVID-19 have recently implemented 5G which, at least theoretically, might render residents more prone to serious infection by lowering their immune function.
Cowan also presents the theory that COVID-19 and other influenza epidemics are not transmitted from person to person but, rather, are the result of cellular toxicity, including but not limited to EMF-induced cellular toxicity.
To be clear, I’m not saying 5G spreads the infection or is a vector of infection. But by lowering your natural immune defenses and causing chronic inflammation, it is likely impairing your innate immune system’s ability to fight off the coronavirus. Naturally, this increased susceptibility to illness would apply to all disease, both acute and chronic, and would not be limited to COVID-19.
Exaggerated EMF exposure may well be a hidden variable that could be contributing to the reason why so many people get sick in particular areas. Intense EMF exposure could be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back, meaning the factor that breaks the immune system.

Medical students are pitching in where they can, to help the licensed medical professionals on the front lines as they continue to work towards their educational goals. Used to juggling work, home, and social life, these future medical practitioners and nurses are filling invaluable roles. Here are just a few ways tomorrow's leaders are lessening the stress for frontline workers.
Helping with Routine Outpatient Clinical Care
Medical students are stepping up and continuing to learn is by helping with outpatient care. Routine care, which includes everything from cancer screenings and sick visits to x-rays for broken bones and burns from kitchen mishaps, still require a nurse, doctor, or resident's care. Additionally, pregnant women still need care, and its vital children get their regularly scheduled vaccinations. While licensed physicians are working to treat and save COVID-19 patients, medical students can gain invaluable experience and provide care for everyone else.
Assisting Attending Physicians with Non-COVID-19 Inpatient Care
Just as students are moving in to assist with routine, outpatient care, help is needed in hospitals. While the news is only talking about pandemic-related care, hospitals are still full of other patients for a variety of reasons. These people, which includes children with illnesses, accident victims, and adults with non-COVID-related conditions, such as cancer, heart attacks, ulcers, and severe infections. Like outpatient services, medical students can achieve a wealth experience while helping short-staffed hospitals meet patients' care needs.
Providing Child Care Services for Frontline Staff
It's hard to concentrate on your job when you have children and their care to worry about. Special daycare and school-age care facilities are opening to help care for the kids of frontline workers. Medical students can help relieve stress by spending a few hours per day interacting with and helping care for COVID-19 caregivers' children. If you're trying to juggle working hours with studying time, this is an excellent way to keep a happy balance in your life.
Tutoring Children, Teens, and Undergraduates with Classwork
Millions of parents around the world just became their children's primary teachers. Doctors, nurses, and other practitioners on the frontline may not have the time or energy to help their children. Medical students have the knowledge to help with a wide range of subjects for younger and older students, including university undergraduates.
Additionally, high school and first-year college students may be feeling overwhelmed between the pandemic and trying to complete assignments from home. Along with helping these students with academics, many will benefit from guidance on how to handle stress and developing good study habits.
Caring for Pets of Frontline Medical Professionals
It may sound menial, but people love their pets tremendously, and it breaks their hearts to leave them alone. If you don't have much time between responsibilities at home and studying for your medical studies exams, taking an hour or two out of your day to care for a health care professional's cats, dogs, birds, or even their fish is a great way to reduce stress for them. It will also keep COVID caregivers' minds focused on patients.
In fact, for medical students with a full course load that needs to study and still want to help, consider pet sitting.
Other Ways to Reduce Stress for COVID-19 Caregivers
There are several smaller things medical students can do to help frontline caregivers. With 12-hour shifts, America's heroes don't have the time or energy to go shopping. Online deliveries are taking a week, two weeks, and even longer. Physical stores have bare shelves, and popular items disappear before most health care workers get through their first hour of work.
Medical Students on the Frontline
Some health cares students are on the front line in a limited medical role. Testing is vital to stopping the spread of COVID-19. Medical students are suiting up alongside other professionals and taking patient's history and handling all aspects of testing locations that are popping up across the country.
It’s important for medical students to continue studying especially those preparing for USMLE Step 1 and 2, as those are difficult exams and since most of the universities are closed, a good option is to study online.

There Are Reasons Why People Buy Life Insurance, But the Main One Is To Make Sure Their Loved Ones Are Taken Care Of

Life insurance is one of the best ways to reduce the potential financial burden that your loved ones may face in the event of a tragedy .
The amount of coverage needed is different for every person , and only you can determine how much coverage your loved ones would need based on your lifestyle and needs .
A good life insurance policy takes all these factors into account to make sure that you and your loved ones are protected .
Of course , a “ good ” life insurance policy means something different to everyone .
Today , there @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , including traditional term and permanent , along with the growing-in-popularity no exam life insurance .
You can read all about the different types of life insurance here .
If you ’ re not sure which type of life insurance is for you , read on to discover several common reasons that people buy it , along with the types they buy .
If you identify with one of these groups , you ’ ll get a clearer idea of which direction you should head in .
Many people first start thinking about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ first child .
This is a good move .
Having children comes with responsibility , and life insurance is a way to make sure you can provide for them even if you ’ re not physically there .
However , even if you didn ’ t buy life insurance when your first child was born , that doesn ’ t mean it ’ s too late .
Even older kids and teens need coverage if something happens to you .
Many parents with a moderate income choose term life insurance , which lasts @ @ @ @ @ @ @ or term .
The length of your term will depend on how old your children are when you buy the policy .
Parents of younger kids will probably opt for a longer term while parents of teens may only opt for a term of 5-10 years .
Many parents set milestones for which they need coverage and thus determine how long of a term they need .
Milestones can be when a child reaches a certain age , graduates college , or when all their debt is paid off .
Another good choice @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which doesn ’ t have an expiration date and also acts as an investment vehicle .

Life insurance is one of the best ways to reduce the potential financial burden that your loved ones may face in the event of a tragedy. The amount of coverage needed is different for every person, and only you can determine how much coverage your loved ones would need based on your lifestyle and needs. A good life insurance policy takes all these factors into account to make sure that you and your loved ones are protected.
Of course, a “good” life insurance policy means something different to everyone. Today, there are many types of life insurance policies, including traditional term and permanent, along with the growing-in-popularity no exam life insurance. You can read all about the different types of life insurance here.
Who Needs Life Insurance?
If you’re not sure which type of life insurance is for you, read on to discover several common reasons that people buy it, along with the types they buy. If you identify with one of these groups, you’ll get a clearer idea of which direction you should head in.
Parents
Many people first start thinking about life insurance upon the birth of their first child. This is a good move. Having children comes with responsibility, and life insurance is a way to make sure you can provide for them even if you’re not physically there. However, even if you didn’t buy life insurance when your first child was born, that doesn’t mean it’s too late. Even older kids and teens need coverage if something happens to you.
Many parents with a moderate income choose term life insurance, which lasts for a certain amount of years, or term. The length of your term will depend on how old your children are when you buy the policy. Parents of younger kids will probably opt for a longer term while parents of teens may only opt for a term of 5-10 years. Many parents set milestones for which they need coverage and thus determine how long of a term they need. Milestones can be when a child reaches a certain age, graduates college, or when all their debt is paid off.
Another good choice for parents is whole life insurance, which doesn’t have an expiration date and also acts as an investment vehicle. The only downside to whole insurance is that it costs more than term, which is why it is less popular.
Stay-At-Home Parents
Many people think that only working parents need life insurance, but the fact is that life insurance is essential for stay-at-home parents as well. This is because stay-at-home parents are often responsible for the majority of family/household chores, like school drop-off and pick-up, cooking, cleaning, doing laundry, helping with homework, etc. Because the stay-at-home parent is doing all of this, the family doesn’t need to pay for outside help. If, however, the stay-at-home parent dies unexpectedly, all of these chores will need to be outsourced to workers who need to be paid. The parent who is working will usually not be able to continue to work and take care of all the family/household responsibilities.
Since this situation is similar to the one above, term and whole life insurance are good options.
Freelancers
If you are a freelancer who doesn’t get life insurance through your employer, getting life insurance on your own is a good idea. If you have kids, the reasons above apply. But even if you don’t have kids, getting a small life insurance policy can help cover end-of-life expenses like funeral and burial costs, which can reach into the thousands. There are many types of life insurance that you can get specifically for funeral expenses, including term and no exam life insurance. Life insurance policies that are only for funeral costs tend to be less expensive than those that have greater coverage.
Business Owners
There are many reasons for business owners to get life insurance. Like freelancers, they may not have life insurance through their employers (their own businesses). Additionally, business owners are crucial to the success of their companies, which means that if something happens to them, they want to make sure that the business can stay afloat. Key-person life insurance and a buy-sell agreement funded by life insurance are two popular options for business owners since they are specifically designed to help partners save or sell the business.
Another reason why a business owner might need life insurance is to secure a loan. In this case, no exam life insurance is a good bet. No exam life insurance doesn’t require a medical exam, which means approval is quick and easy. It’s a good choice when time is of the essence. If you’re a business owner and not sure which type of life insurance is best for you, you can contact the experts at Sproutt.com for assistance. Sproutt insurance advisors are not affiliated with any specific insurance company, so their only bias is to get consumers the life insurance policy that’s best for them.
Home Owners
Many people who own homes opt for life insurance since it can offer coverage for mortgage payments in the event that they die unexpectedly. The insurance prevents the debt from passing on to spouses, partners, children, or other family members.
In this case, term life insurance is a good option, and once you sign your mortgage, you’ll have an exact idea of how long you need the term to be. Some banks push Mortgage Protection Life Insurance, but this type of insurance usually offers higher premiums than term and has less flexibility.
Protection For Loved Ones
As you can see, people buy life insurance for many different reasons. The one underlying commonality is that they all buy it so that the important people in their lives can be protected.

On an unprecedented scale, the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak has jolted the global economy with life-changing repercussions. Nearly every aspect of the work environment has been upended. Millions of employees are now adjusting to remote work while the less fortunate are filing unemployment claims at a staggering rate. Regardless of employment status, everyone affected by the crisis now faces uncertainty, anxiety, and stress that takes a striking toll on the psyche.
StaffScapes, a specialist in small business HR outsourcing in Denver, CO, understands that employers and employees alike may be feeling overwhelmed by the current state of the world. While everyone manages stressful situations differently, it’s safe to say that emotions are high strung, and the climate is ripe with fear. Now, more than ever, it’s critical that employers lead by example and set the appropriate tone for their workforce, especially regarding mental health. Managers, human resource professionals, and business owners need to adapt and intervene to help their teams overcome the challenges of the time.
In this article, StaffScapes details several approaches that businesses can take to support their staff during this uncertain period.
Transparency
For the companies in a position to do so, reassure employees that their job, paycheck, and health benefits (if offered) are safe. Unfortunately, with so many variables out of everyone’s control, not every business has the financial resources to operate at full capacity. Therefore, it’s imperative to avoid wild speculation and emphasize transparency at all levels of the organization. Leaders who are honest upfront and acknowledge that they don’t have all the answers are more authentic and consequently provide greater comfort. It’s ok to show employees vulnerability; this doesn’t make a weak leader, quite the opposite.
Flexibility
Encourage managers to personalize their expectations and oversight for each employee’s unique circumstances. A large percentage of employees may be full-time parents now due to school closures. Others may live alone but are struggling with isolation and having a difficult time focusing on day-to-day activities. Help teams set boundaries, but remember to be flexible. Vocalize which work takes priority every week and which work can go on the back burner.
Encouragement
Consistently express gratitude towards teams for their hard work and perseverance. Pep talks can strengthen organization and business relationships long-term. Leaders should also encourage routines to help establish structure. The CDC recommends taking breaks from work and the news, exercising regularly, eating healthy, making time to unwind, and connecting with others (preferably digitally to practice social distancing) to share concerns and feelings.
Regular Check-Ins
Team meetings and one-on-one check-ins are useful in and out of global pandemics. If technology permits, continue conference calls per usual and incorporate a video element. Face-to-face interaction, even limited to a screen, can help ease tension. Begin the calls with a roundtable by asking how everyone is doing mentally and emotionally. Share your feelings and concerns to generate better rapport and support among the team.
Behavioral Health Services
While mental health is often overlooked in work culture, a business should implement a behavioral health support system. As reported by Peking University, Mind Share Partners, mental health affects 60% of workers’ productivity. Furthermore, the World Health Organization estimates that the global economy lost $1 trillion in 2019 as a result of depression and anxiety.
Some companies are ahead of the game regarding mental health services, but every business is capable of stepping up. If your benefits package doesn’t offer mental health counseling, research third party programs available online or in your community to guide employees to reputable resources.

consciouslifenews--2020-04-26--Jedi Mind Tricks 101: Using the Force as a Manifestation Tool

According to Wikipedia – The Force is a binding , metaphysical , and ubiquitous power .
It is the supernatural flow of energy originated from the concept of Prana or qi/chi/ki ; “ the all-pervading vital energy of the universe ” .
If we understand The Force to be the energy that provides life within us all and connects us all within and the Universe itself , then it would serve us well to see it for the amazing tool that it is .
One would be wise to take the time to learn how to use it proficiently as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ communicating clearly to the Universe what kind of life we ’ d like to live .
Consider the Force to be our cosmic loudspeaker or radio and whatever station we choose to broadcast out , the Universe will echo back in physical manifestations in your life accordingly ; under the illusion sometimes that you had nothing to do with it at all ( unless you are aware of this awesome symbiosis taking place of course ) .
This is how most of us fall under the guise of thinking we have no control @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is what I imagine to be a driving cause for the continued survival of Deterministic beliefs .
It matters not , though if you are aware this is what is happening , but the Universe always has and always will be…your life canvas ; manifest delivery system…and shows up merely as replies and answers to calls you have made .
If they were drunken calls made at 3 am , well you know how that goes .
We might see the results in the morning and wonder where we are , how we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ broke and feel like we got hit by a truck ?
But if we call fully conscious and aware of what we are doing , which is simply setting intentions , building energetic foundations on which you are welcoming a certain resonance to come into your life , then we begin to see just how our lives can shift in big ways .
People often get caught up in emotions , but they are simply way-showers .
It serves us best to not get too attached to them .
And to also not @ @ @ @ @ @ @ they are unpleasant .
What we resist persists and if we bury certain emotions over and over , they soon start to cause distress and discord and disharmony in the body ; which are setting the stage for the manifestation of ?
Yep , you guessed it…dis- .
Emotions point the way as guideposts to areas of our lives that require tending to either because they cause us undue stress , pain , and disturbance and therefore need to be looked at , accepted , love , integrated and hopefully learned from so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no longer cause disruption in our lives .
Or on the flip side , things that instill a sense of connection to life ( anything that gives you that “ woohoo ” feeling or makes you say “ holy crap , I feel alive !
!
!
” ) is an indication you need to keep doing these things…because they are literally feeding your soul…replenishing your spirit…refueling your Prana or Force .
All in balance/moderation , of course , we all know the phrase “ too much of a good thing ” .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ helps to keep you centered ( which is being neutral love ) does incorporate and integrate both positive and negative emotions .
It is only our human condition which teaches us to avoid pain and sadness .
But these both can be some of our greatest forms of release , reflection , and growth .
When we relinquish our judgments on our emotions , we allow ourselves to let them flow freely through us as intended and not to sit within us , stagnant .
Keeping your energy level at optimum levels is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ When you are a natural-born-giver ( like myself ) , you tend to give of your own life force to others .
This happens usually unbeknownst to you , and especially with those you care about .
It can literally leave you feeling drained and horrible even though your conscious mind will always tell you that you just did something nice or were a good friend , etc .
Being empathic , it took me years to understand why helping others was such an ingrained calling but didn ’ t always feel good @ @ @ @ @ @ @ even expecting it to feel good as I thought to give is giving ; you don ’ t get anything from it .
But what a lesson has come from just letting that load of nonsense go !
To serve others from a fully conscious heart space , where I no longer give from my energetic reserves ( which always came with a subconscious expectation of a thank you or a returned favor someday ) is the most freedom I have ever felt in my life .
Now when I give , it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a place that is constantly free-flowing and tapped into the love of Source .
A place that does not know lack or going without , so there is no fear , and no expectations , from myself or from others .
Whereas before I would even judge myself after being depleted…did I give ?
Could I have done ?
Now it flows from me without even having time to think if it ’ s enough .
I think less and feel more in my giving and this has done wonders for my relationships @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with me when it comes to manifesting .
It all ties together in where my perception lies about how I feel about myself and I notice the more I choose to love and accept myself ( as perfectly imperfect , flaws and all ) , the more easily I am able to allow positive things and awesome opportunities to flow into my life .
Because on a subconscious level , my perception has shifted from unworthy to worthy and this stems simply put from originally feeling disconnected to Source , the Universe , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see the connection within all things and you see how beautifully and delicately you and your life weave into this enormous cosmic web , you can rest a little easier , feel a little safer , and have a lot more trust in yourself and your world .
Because you begin to take on the awareness that it is you who is creating it , and simply with that awareness comes such a rush of empowerment that I can only describe as literally dancing with The Force itself .
Or perhaps even surrendering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It has taken me over 30 years to even muster the courage for me to say that when it comes to knowing how to manifest great things in my life , I “ kinda get it ” now .
I am still a constantly evolving work in progress , and I love doing daily little life experiments to see simply how my own reaction and my own perceptions of these so-called things “ happening to me ” can alter the outcomes of these said events .
And I consciously choose to look @ @ @ @ @ @ @ brighter light and change my perspective from victim mode to student mode ( what can I learn from this ? )
, the situation itself seems to lose steam ; lose power in its ability to instill fear and panic within me .
The dust seems to settle that much faster and therefore I can also see a clearer next move much faster as well .
This is BEYOND empowering , and something I have just caught onto I ’ d say within the last few years…and have only recently really begun to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ just how deep this manifestation rabbit hole really goes .
For years and years , I was under the subconscious impression that life had to be difficult , if you didn ’ t work hard you didn ’ t deserve anything ( life does just provide ) and that if you ever put yourself or your needs first , you were selfish and that was unacceptable .
But after years of being in relationships that always felt one-sided and left me utterly exhausted and drained , I realized something .
I realized that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because I was always so fixated on specifics , had so many tight expectations ; from myself and everyone else in my life , and if either one lets me down I tended to retreat and/or withdraw .
I had an underlying expectation of struggle and therefore always found myself struggling…in all areas of my life including relationships , jobs , etc .
However a simple shift , a single seed planted in my subconscious mind that I love myself enough to create the life I want…has literally put everything in motion .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ treat myself better ( quit smoking , eat healthier , do daily yoga and meditation , and surround myself with people who are also empowered rather than “ complainers ” or “ Debbie Downers ” ) , my entire life began to shift in huge ways .
New opportunities opened up that would never have shown up prior because I never thought they were even possible due to my lack of confidence .
By using The Force , I instead chose to wake up each day with a smile ( as annoying as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ no matter how shitty of a day I could ’ ve been having , I was viciously aware of my perceptions and reactions to things and was constantly on my own ass to see things through different eyes ; in a more productive , positive , “ what can you do me ” way .
It ’ s not an easy feat by any means , especially if you are used to be reactive rather than proactive .
You must retrain your subconscious to let go of the reigns in these vital times @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lead .
By choosing reactions , we are taking full responsibility for ourselves in the hugest way possible .
We can no longer blame others for “ offending ” us , because we have taken on the awareness that their words really did nothing to harm us , it was our perception that caused the pain…and our reaction simply shows us now there ’ s something there that needs to be healed .
Once it no longer causes a reaction , then the work is done .
Many great minds have said we @ @ @ @ @ @ @ which annoys or pisses us off and I couldn ’ t agree more .
So , to sign off here I ’ m going to go full Star Wars nerd on you and recommend a little Jedi mind trick I use on myself that helps with developing your Conscious Creator skills .
Whenever you feel overwhelmed or a victim to your thoughts or reactions , simply stop within the moment , breath deep to connect , and remember that you are NOT your thoughts , but the observer behind them .
You are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that gives them light and meaning .
You are NOT a victim , you are a sliver of Source no less than the vast and great cosmos .
So , don ’ t just sit back and admire the stars , love yourself enough to know you are one , and then BE one .
Shine on .

When we relinquish our judgments on our emotions, we allow ourselves to let them flow freely through us as intended and not to sit within us, stagnant.
Keeping your energy level at optimum levels is vital to being a Conscious Creator. When you are a natural-born-giver (like myself), you tend to give of your own life force to others. This happens usually unbeknownst to you, and especially with those you care about. It can literally leave you feeling drained and horrible even though your conscious mind will always tell you that you just did something nice or were a good friend, etc. Being empathic, it took me years to understand why helping others was such an ingrained calling but didn’t always feel good to me. I often felt selfish for even expecting it to feel good as I thought to give is giving; you don’t get anything from it.
But what a lesson has come from just letting that load of nonsense go! To serve others from a fully conscious heart space, where I no longer give from my own energetic reserves (which always came with a subconscious expectation of a thank you or a returned favor someday) is the most freedom I have ever felt in my life. Now when I give, it comes from a completely different place; a place that is constantly free-flowing and tapped into the love of Source. A place that does not know lack or going without, so there is no fear, and no expectations, from myself or from others. Whereas before I would even judge myself after being depleted…did I give enough? Could I have done more?
Now it flows from me without even having time to think if it’s enough. I think less and feel more in my giving and this has done wonders for my relationships all around; with others and especially with me when it comes to manifesting. It all ties together in where my perception lies about how I feel about myself and I notice the more I choose to love and accept myself (as perfectly imperfect, flaws and all), the more easily I am able to allow positive things and awesome opportunities to flow into my life. Because on a subconscious level, my perception has shifted from unworthy to worthy and this stems simply put from originally feeling disconnected to Source, the Universe, and others.
When you can clearly see the connection within all things and you see how beautifully and delicately you and your life weave into this enormous cosmic web, you can rest a little easier, feel a little safer, and have a lot more trust in yourself and your world. Because you begin to take on the awareness that it is you who is creating it, and simply with that awareness comes such a rush of empowerment that I can only describe as literally dancing with The Force itself. Or perhaps even surrendering to the flow of All that Is.
It has taken me over 30 years to even muster the courage for me to say that when it comes to knowing how to manifest great things in my life, I “kinda get it” now. I am still a constantly evolving work in progress, and I love doing daily little life experiments to see simply how my own reaction and my own perceptions of these so-called things “happening to me” can alter the outcomes of these said events. And every single time I consciously choose to look at the issue at hand in a brighter light and change my perspective from victim mode to student mode (what can I learn from this?), the situation itself seems to lose steam; lose power in its ability to instill fear and panic within me.
The dust seems to settle that much faster and therefore I can also see a clearer next move much faster as well. This is BEYOND empowering, and something I have just caught onto I’d say within the last few years…and have only recently really begun to sink my teeth into, to see just how deep this manifestation rabbit hole really goes.
For years and years, I was under the subconscious impression that life had to be difficult, if you didn’t work hard you didn’t deserve anything (life does not just provide) and that if you ever put yourself or your needs first, you were selfish and that was unacceptable. But after years of being in relationships that always felt one-sided and left me utterly exhausted and drained, I realized something.
I realized that things never went “my way” because I was always so fixated on specifics, had so many tight expectations; from myself and everyone else in my life, and if either one lets me down I tended to retreat and/or withdraw. I had an underlying expectation of struggle and therefore always found myself struggling…in all areas of my life including relationships, jobs, etc.
However a simple shift, a single seed planted in my subconscious mind that I love myself enough to create the life I want…has literally put everything in motion. As soon as I consciously began to treat myself better (quit smoking, eat healthier, do daily yoga and meditation, and surround myself with people who are also empowered rather than “complainers” or “Debbie Downers”), my entire life began to shift in huge ways. New opportunities opened up that would never have shown up prior because I never thought they were even possible due to my lack of confidence.
By using The Force, I instead chose to wake up each day with a smile (as annoying as that might sound lol), and no matter how shitty of a day I could’ve been having, I was viciously aware of my perceptions and reactions to things and was constantly on my own ass to see things through different eyes; in a more productive, positive, “what can you do FOR me” way. It’s not an easy feat by any means, especially if you are used to be reactive rather than proactive. You must retrain your subconscious to let go of the reigns in these vital times and let your conscious mind take the lead.
By consciously choosing reactions, we are taking full responsibility for ourselves in the hugest way possible. We can no longer blame others for “offending” us, because we have taken on the awareness that their words really did nothing to harm us, it was our perception that caused the pain…and our reaction simply shows us now there’s something there that needs to be healed. Once it no longer causes a reaction, then the work is done. Many great minds have said we have so much to learn from that which annoys or pisses us off and I couldn’t agree more.
So, to sign off here I’m going to go full Star Wars nerd on you and recommend a little Jedi mind trick I use on myself that helps with developing your Conscious Creator skills. Whenever you feel overwhelmed or a victim to your thoughts or reactions, simply stop within the moment, breath deep to connect, and remember that you are NOT your thoughts, but the observer behind them. You are NOT your emotions, but the Consciousness that gives them light and meaning. You are NOT a victim, you are a sliver of Source no less than the vast and great cosmos. So, don’t just sit back and admire the stars, love yourself enough to know you are one, and then BE one. Shine on. <3

‘Silent Spring Is Already Here’: Global Study Shows Nearly 25% Drop in Insect Population Over 30 Years

The largest-ever assessment of long-term insect abundance found that there has been a nearly 25 % decrease of land-dwelling bugs like ants , butterflies , and grasshoppers over the past 30 years—a revelation that inspired fresh demands for urgent international action to tackle the decades-long , human-caused “ bugpocalypse.

The Guardian reported on the new assessment, published in the journal Science:
The analysis combined 166 long-term surveys from almost 1,700 sites and found that some species were bucking the overall downward trend. In particular, freshwater insects have been increasing by 11% each decade following action to clean up polluted rivers and lakes. However, this group represent only about 10% of insect species and do not pollinate crops. Researchers said insects remained critically understudied in many regions, with little or no data from South America, south Asia, and Africa. Rapid destruction of wild habitats in these places for farming and urbanization is likely to be significantly reducing insect populations, they said.
The researchers found an average annual decrease among terrestrial insects of 0.92%, “which may not sound like much, but in fact, it means 24% fewer insects in 30 years' time and 50% fewer over 75 years,” lead author Roel van Klink of the German Center for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) and Leipzig University said in a statement.
“Insect declines happen in a quiet way and we don't take notice from one year to the next,” he explained. “It's like going back to the place where you grew up. It's only because you haven't been there for years that you suddenly realize how much has changed, and all too often not for the better.”
The researchers found insect declines—generally caused by habitat loss, light pollution, and pesticides—were strongest in the U.S. West and Midwest and in Europe, particularly Germany. “Europe seems to be getting worse now—that is striking and shocking,” van Klink told the Guardian. “But why that is, we don't know.”
Data is less available for some regions, “but we know from our results that the expansion of cities is bad for insects because every place used to be more natural habitat—it is not rocket science,” he added. “This is happening in East Asia and Africa at a rapid rate. In South America, there is the destruction of the Amazon. There's absolutely no question this is bad for insects and all the other animals there. But we just don't have the data.”
Van Klink also pointed out that bugs in protected spaces like nature preserves are doing only slightly better, and “we found that very striking and a bit shocking—it means something's going wrong there.”
We keep getting clear signs that the way we live and the actions we take are having severe consequences. We can make small changes – such as buying pesticide free food and supporting local farms – to reduce our impact. #zeropesticides #buylocalhttps://t.co/ngvx5Pg4E0 pic.twitter.com/Wvrrm2Q28l — Local Greens (@localgreensveg) April 24, 2020
The new study follows a major February 2019 assessment that, as Common Dreams reported, led one expert to warn that “if insect species losses cannot be halted, this will have catastrophic consequences for both the planet's ecosystems and for the survival of mankind.” The past year has seen more research about declines in insects and other species, and more warnings from scientists about biodiversity and mass extinction.
In January, 73 international scientists released a roadmap to battle the insect apocalypse, calling for aggressive action to combat the global climate crisis; cut back on synthetic pesticides and fertilizers; limit light, water, and noise pollution; prevent the introduction of alien and invasive species; promote conservation efforts; and improve land management practices.
British biologist and author Dave Goulson of the University of Sussex helped develop that roadmap.

But the bulk of insects are terrestrial and this new study confirms what was already clear: they have been declining for many decades.”
Reporting on the new assessment sparked impassioned calls for action:

“Encountering adversity ultimately deepens us and gives us access to inner strength,” explains Eckhart. May the teachings in this new series serve to deepen your awakening and orient you toward what Eckhart calls “the transcendent dimension,” where we can find an abiding sense of peace and rootedness even in the midst of turmoil. “Staying Conscious In The Face of Adversity” is a free teaching series on how crisis propels awakening with Eckhart Tolle.
In our first video, “Awakening Through Adversity,” Eckhart discusses:
-How the ego perceives challenges and obstacles
-The three kinds of adversity—personal, collective, and mind-made
-Step one in finding freedom from unnecessary suffering: becoming aware of your mind
-How the collective mind finds expression in social and mainstream media
-The realization that changes everything: you are not your thoughts
-The vital relationship between spiritual awakening, human development, and adversity
-Finding peace amid turmoil
