The invisible friendly enemy
This friendly enemy is too a gift, a wonderful gift when needed (which is rare). But it has become a little too close, something we rely on, way too much, and the unfortunate reality of this, is the relationship has become toxic. Not just emotionally, but physically. It robs us from all the wonder of […]

Meditation and your immune system
Did you know that Dr Joe Dispenza had uni professors inject Sars Covid 19 into the blood work taken from people attending his retreats.
