Truth of Fibromyalgia
Truth of Fibromyalgia By: Bridget Ishmael We as a society are at a mecca of diseases and syndromes overtaking our world. What if one day you woke up in pain and couldn’t move to go to the bathroom, hours later you finally found the strength to get up out of the bed. What if you got up to go to work found yourself in intense pains all over your body, you had to leave work early due to the fatigue you were feeling? From there you go home and try to sleep it off, only to find yourself in a non-restful state. Down the road things don’t get better, they get worse. Only now you start forgetting words or conversations, headaches have become regular, pelvic pain increases, you obtain skin rashes, and as a result depression or anxiety step in. It’s gotten to the point where there's a need to search for help, and find what the underlying cause may be. You go to the doctor tell them the symptoms that have been going on for months and months. The Doctor tells you “This sounds like Fibromyalgia, and there is no cure. We can help with the pain with with medications, but you will never fully heal from this disease,” behind your doctor's mind is the thought that this is a made up disease and its all in the patients head. So you do as the doctor prescribes and giving your best to move forward in a low quality of life with no added answers.

Call to the Mountains
Call to the Mountains The mountains were calling. No one goes to Mount Shasta without being called to go. It comes from an inner knowing that you must go to this treasure of existence. Mount Shasta is known as the grounding spot of the earth.

Lucid Dream
Lucid Dream THERE IS A PRACTICE CALLED LUCID DREAMING IN WHICH ONE PRACTICES THE KNOWLEDGE OF DREAM AWARENESS, CREATING EXPANSE IN RICHNESS AND COLOR. THE DREAMER BECOMES AWARE OF THE SUBCONSCIOUS BEING DISCOVERED. LUCID DREAMERS ARE GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLORE WORLDS AS A DIRECTOR WOULD. PERSONALLY THIS LUCID DREAMING TECHNIQUE HAS BEEN ONE IN WHICH I HAVE FOUND GREAT PEACE. THIS PRACTICE TAKES TIME AND PATIENTS. WRITING DOWN DREAMS IN CONSECUTIVE PACE HELPS DEVELOP THE ABILITY TO LUCID DREAM. A PERSON CAN EXPERIENCE THE DREAM WITH USING THE FRONTAL AND POSTERIOR PART OF THE BRAIN AT THE SAME TIME. DURING OUR WAKE STATE, OF EVERY DAY LIFE, WE ARE USING THE LOWER PART OF OUR BRAINS. WHEN ONE SLEEPS YOU USE THE CEREBRAL CORTEX, FRONT PART OF THE BRAIN. THE KEY IS TO USE BOTH AT THE SAME TIME. PRACTICES SUCH AS: MEDITATION, WRITING DOWN DREAMS, AND MINDFULNESS CAN HELP ACTIVATE THIS AMAZING USE OF THERAPY. SAY YOU ARE SOMEONE THAT EXPERIENCES NIGHTMARES OR CANT GET A GOOD NIGHTS SLEEP, THIS IS SOMETHING THAT COULD HELP. TRY WRITING DOWN YOUR DREAMS EVERYDAY FOR 30 DAYS. THEN AFTER THIRTY DAYS, ONE WILL BE MORE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE THE DREAM STATE. ONCE MASTERED THE RECOGNITION OF DREAM STATE, ASK THE DREAM “WHAT ARE YOU TEACHING ME?” OR “WHO ARE YOU?” YOUR SUBCONSCIOUS MIND WILL ACTIVATE AND THEN THE BALL STARTS ROLLING. THERE IS A BALANCE WHEN ACTIVATING LUCID DREAMING, USING IT FOR GOOD AND, THE BENEFIT OF SELF AWARENESS. SET INTENTIONS BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP, SAY A MANTRA, OR MEDITATE/PRAY BEFORE BED. IF ANYONE HAS QUESTIONS ABOUT LUCID DREAMING, PLEASE ASK.

Cup of Love
Cup of Love WAKING UP EARLY BEFORE THE SUN, I WAKE WELL RESTED AND READY FOR THE DAY TO BEGIN. IN ORDER FOR THIS DAY TO BEGIN I MUST COMPLETE A SET OF MORNING TASKS. THE FIRST THING IS TO MAKE COFFEE BECAUSE LET'S BE HONEST, NO ONE WANTS TO SEE ME WITHOUT SOME NATURALLY DERIVED FRUIT IN MY SYSTEM, IT MIGHT BE DETRIMENTAL TO ANYONE'S WELL BEING. AFTER MY FIRST TASK OF MAKING MY COFFEE; IN WHICH WAS MADE BY USING A FRENCH PRESS, I THEN WENT TO WAKE MY CHILDREN TO GET READY FOR SCHOOL. THEY SLOWLY OPEN THEIR EYES AND GET OUT OF BED; DRAGGING THEIR BLANKETS BEHIND THEM TO THE TABLE, THEY SIT AND WAIT FOR BREAKFAST TO BE MADE. I COOK SOMETHING HEALTHY TO START THE DAY. WE HAVE FRESH FARM EGGS WITH FRUIT AND A BAGUETTE. AFTER BREAKFAST ALL OF US LADIES GET READY FOR THE DAY SO WE CAN PUT FORWARD OUR BEST FOOT AND MAKE IT A SUCCESSFUL DAY. I DROP THE KIDS OFF AT SCHOOL THEN HEAD TO WORK MYSELF. BUT NOT BEFORE ANOTHER CUP OF COFFEE.

Excited to be Scared
EXCITED TO BE SCARED “ARE YOU READY TO FLY?” MY DAUGHTER ASKED ME. THE ONLY WAY TO RESPOND TO SUCH A STATEMENT IS “YES, I’M READY TO FLY”; WE TOOK EACH OTHERS’ HANDS; GENTLY GRIPPING MY OTHER DAUGHTER'S HAND AS WE WALKED TOGETHER KNOWING THAT THE FUTURE IS THE TRUST WE PUT IN THE UNIVERSE TOGETHER. THERE IS PEACE AND LOVE WHEN YOU LET GO TO THE UNIVERSE AND THE DIVINE, THIS IS SUCH A STORY.
