A Gluten for Punishment: the Whole Grain Assault on Health

Healthiest Foods Out of Reach For The Majority of The Population

Natasha Longo, Prevent Disease Waking Times To say that the cost of healthy living is out of reach for most people would be an understatement.

Update 2012 – Understanding Planetary Ascension

Chris Bourne, Openhand Contributor Waking Times  Much has been written in recent times – especially through 2012 – about our planetary “Ascension”. What exactly does the term mean? What is going on?

Placebos, Nocebos, and Mind Over Matter

Tracy Kolenchuk, Guest Writer Waking Times Our medical system is less comfortable and less effective as studies and results move from the body to the mind, from the mind to the spirit, and from the spirit to the community.  Each of the top layers of the hierarchy of healthiness is studied with fear rather than with respect by

The Path of No Path

Peter Russell, Spirit of Now Waking Times Spiritual teachers with non-dual leanings often say that there is no path to enlightenment.

The Tao and The Nature of Confusion

Daikan Basho, Contributing Writer Waking Times  We live in a complex world and simplicity is often difficult to come by.
