About me:

Herbal Help for Depression, i am going to try this... Depression has many underlying causes. Great loss, as in the death of a loved one, bottled up anger that is turned inward, negative emotional behavior, often learned as a child, a biochemical imbalance, and certain prescription drugs can cause depression. Other causes include sugar imbalances, food allergies, high copper levels, hypothyroidism, and prolonged stress. If left untreated depression may develop into paranoia or another manic depressive disorder. Symptoms of depression include a variety of things. Waking very early, sleeping longer than usual, over eating, under eating, increased use of tobacco, alcohol, or drugs, other self destructive behaviors, social withdrawal, negative thinking, difficulty concentrating, irritability, poor digestion with constipation, and loss of sex drive are a few of the most common. Other symptoms may be less obvious such as manic episodes, excessive self reproach, guilt, disorientation, memory loss, headache, sweating, palpitations, weight loss, weight gain, and thoughts of death or suicide. One type of depression is the “winter blues” or seasonal affective disorder and is due to insufficient light. Many body functions fail to work properly causing abnormal sleep patterns, anxiety, and moods swings. Bright light treatments usually solve this problem. Essential oils are especially suited for treating depression. Jasmine, ylang-ylang, neroli, and bergamot essential oils are refreshing and especially suited for lifting dark moods. Lavender essential oil is multi-purpose and helps bring relaxation or energy depending on need. A combination of basil and geranium or rose oil can provide uplifting effects. Clary sage and orange essential oils can also help. Use full strength in aromatherapy or mix with carrier oil for massage and bath. There are many herbs that can treat depression. St. John's Wort is considered by many herbalists to be nature's nerve pill. St. John's Wort helps the body deal with stress by activating secretions of dopamine, the pleasure hormone. Oats also show promising results. Take oat extract 3 times a day and eat oatmeal as a cereal. Borage, lemon balm, monrada, and basil are also recommended. They can be added to salads or made into tea. Other herbs to try include ginseng, ginkgo biloba, milk thistle seed, rosemary, and mint. Dandelion is a great herb for treating depression due to suppressed anger and disappointment. Put in one tablespoon of chopped root per cup of boiling water and steep for thirty minutes. Strain and sip 2 or 3 cups a day. Depressed people should avoid cheese, sugar, alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, and preserved foods. Adding pumpkin seeds, wheat germ, and lecithin granules to the diet may help. The addition of Vitamin B complex, Vitamin C, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, and potassium is also recommended. Exercise is a great way to relieve depression. Sunlight, deep breathing, stretching, and massage can also give many benefits. Cases of light depression can be treated with an herbal pillow. Stuff a small pillow casing with freshly dried rosemary, lavender, California poppies, lemon balm, rose petals, and mint. Use in bed and while resting. * Do not use essential oils in pregnancy without consulting a healthcare professional. Always consult with a healthcare professional before using any herbal remedies especially if taking Prozac. Found at Paganspace.net How To Stay Positive With A Negative Vibration Spouse Or Partner By Jackie Lapin theartofconscio..​uscreation.​com People who are making the change to a conscious and spiritually-​driven life often discover that they are yoked to someone who is not prepared to come along on that journey. The partner is mired in his or her own negative thoughts and emotions, and meets any topic of spiritual enlightenment, positive vibration and conscious creation with a wall of resistance. Don’t despair…lots of others have gone through this phase too, and come out on the other side with a happier life. Let’s look at what you can do in this situation: • Stay in your positive vibration state. Don’t allow your spouse or mate to pull you out of alignment with the Universe. When you feel yourself drawn into it, take a walk, go play with the kids, read a book, go have lunch with your best friend… and continue to think and feel positive about yourself, your life and the good qualities in your partner. • Create a sacred place in your home where you can go to meditate, clear your chakras, express gratitude, Consciously Create, connect with the Universe, —activities that keep your frequency high. Ask your partner to respect this private time, so that you can “recharge.” This recharging should continue to buttress you against his or her negativity. • Demonstrate how your life has changed by just being happier, more upbeat, less stressed…and soon your partner may want to know what it is that has changed you and how he can he/she get some of it! • By changing how you respond to things, your spouse is bound to have to adjust. If you are doing something different, that will change the dynamic between you and within the family. Your partner will have to adjust in some ways to meet or stay up with the new you. • Visualize a harmonious relationship. See your relationship changing and your partner opening up to greater dialogue, a more open-minded attitude and a willingness to explore new avenues—new ways of thinking. Take your focus off of what is WRONG, and put it on what is right and what you desire. • Throw your “love net” around him or her. I really believe this is an empowering tool to create waves of love that generate vibrational change. See yourself throwing the net of positive loving energy over your mate and yourself, so that it will allow him/her to release the negativity in a net of safety and acceptance. This changes the raises vibration between the two of you, and floods him or her with your loving, positive energy. • Each day of the week, spend five minutes telling your partner one or more of the things you love about him or her. Your partner will be delighted to hear praise instead of complaints! It may well begin to shift his/her expectations, mood and outlook. • Focus on making the present moment the very best and most enjoyable you can and vision for the future. Release the past. Don’t reintroduce old patterns, hold him or her to past behavior by bringing up how it’s been previously, and make sure that you don’t fall back into old negative repetitive interactions yourself. Let go of the anticipation that your partner will respond in “the same old way.” Leave the door open for change and possibility. Create a new pattern of interaction through your change of emotions, thoughts and energy habits. • Present your partner with positive alternatives. When he or she focuses on the negative, gently demonstrate what alternative thought, emotion or perception may further his or her desire. Be a teacher, but do it gently, don’t force-feed these concepts. • Become a Master Manifestor. As you raise your frequency, good things will increasingly come to you at your beckoning. If your spouse or partner gets jealous, point out that he/she can do this too if he/she follows your path. Then hand your partner a copy of The Art of Conscious Creation! • Accept that the Universe is creating an opportunity to test how effectively you can maintain your own positive energy in the face of a challenge! • Lastly, and this is the most extreme outcome, if you have tried all of these over time and you find yourself in a situation that is not emotionally healthy for you, you may have to leave the relationship. It is when the negatives outweigh the positives, with little prospects for change, that you have a responsibility to your ebullient and joyful soul to find an alternative lifestyle either alone or with a more positively-​disposed and spiritually aware partner. Remember, even when there are children involved, they fare better with at least one happy parent, rather than two miserable ones.

Words and Music by Human

I wanna tell y’all a little bit about a plant I know that can save the world.
It grows long and tall and has flowers that can make your mind swirl.
It’s a sacred plant with a fiber that is resistant to rain and mold.
It’s the strongest plant fiber known to man, the best rope you’ll ever hold.

Now the pioneers covered up their wagon train with a canvas made of hemp
Washington and Jefferson grew it on their farms and said to make the most of it.
The first stars and stripes were made on hemp the first constitution too.
Its used around the world for fuel fiber oil medicine and food.

If you press its seeds you wont have no need for any other oil,
You can make paints and inks or run your car, grow it back next season it’ll fix the soil.
The most nutritious seed you can put in your mouth with Omega 6 and 3
We can feed the world with the tree of life and live sustainably.

Chorus:
If we cut down all the trees, then we won’t have no air to breath,
Grow a field of hemp instead, you can make your paper, build your house from it. The Goddess plant growing wild and free, livin’ the way we oughta be, gone leave my children a better world than my ancestors left me.

The flowers of the female hemp plant make the best medicines on Earth,
Helps cancer and AIDS patients eat their food, helps those with depression overcome the blues,
Glaucoma, Epilepsy, Nausia, Insomnia, Stress, Neurosis, Psychosis, Pain PMS
All the studies have been done all the doctors agree, but the corporations can’t make money off this plant you see, because its free, it grows from a seed, wild and free like we oughta be.
The future is growin in our backyards.

Chorus

In this modern world we seem to lack a little spirituality,
This one plant can bring us back 10.000 years in history.
To the Shiva Parahanas, The Jesus The Christ, to Buddah, The Pagans, The Goddess, The Light. To commune with all the animals, commune with all the trees, to realize the god I seek is inside me.
Yeah the futures in our hands, we’ve gotta take care of the Earth.
Because the Earth is the mother that gives life birth.
We can end all our pollution with a single green plant and we can start right now, start right now.

Chorus

So you see in this modern day and age, living in the lap of luxury,
There is really only one plant we need to harvest for almost everything.
We can run our cars on clean hempseed oil, run our generators too.
Stop! Wow I can’t believe hemp has so many uses! I say three cheers for Hemp: Hemp hemp Hooray! Hemp Hemp Hooray! Hemp Hemp hooray Forecast Earth Summit..

i believe in leaving the earth in a better condition.
