Honor Your Ancestors: Don’t Ignore DNA

It’s a fact of life. Blood. If there’s anything we have in common with other humans and the animal kingdom, it’s blood. That includes, of course, everything that goes with blood: the blueprint we’re made from plus our physical, mental and spiritual traits.

Spirit Hemp: Do Plants Dream?

Who’s Dreaming Who? The question made me jump when I saw it. We think a lot about dreams and plants, both, in our work, but mostly in separate contexts, each with their own separate shelf.

Intentional Breathing: Religion?

Does religion improve your results? “Just don’t talk about religion or politics.” This is an old expression some of you will recognize. They used to tell us that going into a new job or school. Seems to be good advice these days, especially. When we began our dialogues around Intentional Breathing, we said to benefitContinue reading “Intentional Breathing: Religion?”

Spirit Hemp: Homeostasis

The Motherboard From Hemp and the Three Chronics, “Let’s say it like this: Homeostasis speaks of a most special balance!
