A group of centenarians in a Chinese village seem to have stumbled upon a veritable fountain of youth in the form of a well-known seed. Revered for their life expectancy of 100+ years, inhabitants of Bama Yao live in one of the few longevity hotspots of the world. Sharing similar characteristics with other long-lived people, residents of Bama Yao thrive on a nutrient-rich diet and enjoy a pristine environment. The secret to their exceptional life span, however, appears to be their high intake of hempseed.

A new year brings resolutions, and for the establishment, their resolutions are quite clear: more false flags, more media circus and more staged news. Last week, we all awoke to news the French satire publication Charlie Hebdo had been attacked by terrorists, with Al Qaeda taking responsibility for the murder of several media figures. While it is tempting to get bogged down in situation details, we must always recall similar patterns of such events in the recent past which will serve to inform the greater context of this new event in the never-ending “war on terror”.

Using Meditation to Help You Overcome Addiction
Addictions are the side effect of a grasping mind. Generally, it is when an individual feels excessive helplessness toward situations in his or her life, addictions and other coping mechanisms can form to help deal with the emotions. Unfortunately, in many cases it can be hard to truly see what is causing the emotions. This is where mindfulness meditation can begin to help.

Who are You? and How to Be That
The biggest problem humanity faces right now is a case of mistaken identity. People mistake themselves for something they are not, and this generates all manner of false lifestyles and suffering. And even when a person discovers they are not the ego, there frequently follows all kinds of attachment and identification with qualities of the soul. So what about ditching all kinds of identity completely?

To Discern or Not to Discern… a Spiritual Perspective
Without spiritual discernment, we accept and embrace concepts like “everything is in divine order”, “everything is being taken care of” and “divine intervention is forthcoming”. These concepts and beliefs give us a false sense of security and hope, deceiving and disempowering individuals who could potentially make a positive difference in the world. So why do we freely embrace false spirituality?

An Introduction to Kundalini
Kundalini is essentially an evolutionary/energetic ‘boost’ we can gain with focused, meditative effort. It is referred to as an energetic ‘serpent’ because it’s coiled up in the root chakra, and it can be awakened - uncoiled up through each chakra - and used to find a permanently blissful state of consciousness. There are a lot of benefits to awakening it, and a lot of setbacks if we aren’t prepared.
