One fantastic way to rewire the self —especially the brain—is with a spiritual fast. Neuronal activity is enhanced.
“In lab animals, fasting, as well as exercise, stimulates the production of a protein in nerve cells called brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF. This protein plays critical roles in learning, memory, and the generation of new nerve cells in the hippocampus. BDNF also makes neurons more resistant to stress. Fasting also triggers a process called autophagy, where cells remove damaged molecules and dysfunctional mitochondria, and turns off cell growth. So neurons are in a kind of “resource conservation and stress resistance” mode during fasting.
Fasting also gives me clarity, makes a deeper connection with the upper world, and helps me achieve spiritual objectives. Amazing for the body too for pretty much any disease. The human body was Not designed to eat or live the way we do! Shaking off the stress is hard.
And that’s another thing you can do: literally shaking. Look that up!
I get an amazing productive state after 3-4 days on a juice fast. The Infowars Liver Cleanse did something similar.
And I was just thinking about the meaning of these words the other day: "The human body was Not designed to eat or live the way we do!" That's in the Ringing Cedars philosophy.:))
Not sleeping, as I woke up drenched, again. I'm about to watch the video you shared. I understand why I was drawn to your writing.
Though I understand how anyone in a war zone would be traumatized, I've purposely stayed out of expressing my opinion on this war. Not because I don't care, I hate war, and love peace.
Bless you for this, Celia. I had a ... I guess you might say challenging childhood. My older siblings (& my Mom) suffered far more than I did. I also have friends who had it pretty rough in a variety of ways. Watching that video (the long one, up top) helps me get a better understanding of some of the people in my life who've had much rougher life experiences than mine. I tend to be too damn judgmental of people - seeing this makes me realize I need to cut more people more slack. So, I'm glad you shared it!!
Me too. I'm tough as nails and all my life I've expected everyone around me to be the same, regardless. Partly because I don't think my life experience is all that unique.
I have plenty of friends who have overcome shockingly worse situations than I could ever dream of... but, in any case, not everyone has the emotional stamina anymore. I blame toxins.
I want everyone to detox the vaccines (and other toxic crap) out of their bodies, to find out how strong they really are.
I've changed completely in the last 14 years of detoxing. Overall, I think I am managing to shovel it out faster than the GFEs' can shovel it in... and my personality really is completely different.
I have different priorities, react differently, and more. I used to be all sharp edges. Seven yrs in DC turned me into a know it all - because everyone there has to be "in the know" about everything and nothing. Tiresome as shit actually. I think I talk about 1/3rd as much as I used too... and I can't chalk it all up to aging:)))))))
We live in a spiritual world. A spiritual world led by one who never shames or demeans, nor condemns or demands apologies.
And, a simple acknowledgement of him is rewarded with a perfected spirit to live within us, providing constant comfort and support, as well as wisdom and discernment.
And, just as proper nourishment yields a healthy plant, proper nourishment for our spirit is provided by his word.
No rituals required. No rite of man. All that is required is a desire for relationship with one whose greatest pleasure is that same relationship. With that comes everlasting life, both in this world and the one that follows.
Celia, thank you. This is the real work of the world, both within and without. Nice to take a break from focusing on the mental, emotional and physical carnage and have some fun play with Marshall! Oe of my favorite songs, "You Gotta Come from the Heart if you Want it to Work". Listening to that right now and I'm crying. Feelin much better...
Marshall says the blame shame guilt game has been around for 5000 years, ever since we decided people were evil. No wonder it seems to be everywhere, including inside us. If we can get this, if we can then deliberately change the words we use and come from the heart rather than the judgmental mind, then there's a chance for critical and comprehensive needs being met– such as true and lasting world peace.
It's all a subtext to the Divide and Conquer strategy. If our ability to communicate with each other in an honest / meaningful way is destroyed - we are the playthings of the GFE's.
I just finished watching the Japanese Netflix psyop "Alice in the Borderland." It reminded me of the Netflix Brazil series "3%." Lots of young people being pitted against one another... but ultimately coming together. Plenty of subliminal programming throughout both series. The geoengineered skies over Tokyo were everpresent throughout both seasons of "Alice..."
Tell you who coined one fact that gives me immense rest -Arlene Johnson - she actually mined the Russian Acadamy of Sciences for 7 of the sharpest minds to point out that western biomass is seen as basis of oil .(No way that wasnt ru sourced / zionist material ,'mysteriously dissappeared' for over 10 years .Questions needing adressed as to scientific trolling through 'truth' )
But 100 000 3-4.5 Ga meteorites show it exists in cosmos ,in very low temperatures
WITHOUT BIOMASS .
Means Ezekiel circa 600BC, while protesting 'cant do that ' when commanded to bake bread over a fire of human excrement (chptr 4)- was laying foundations for 'traditio tradere' ,(tradition betrays) ,or ...simply
So finding hydrocarbon ,engine fuel in the world is NOT dependant (a priori) on biomass .
A very good list. Not just for folks with “trauma” issues, but more things to know for all of us about people in general. Who is really “in your court” vs. the people who are giving lip service with no back up.
I’ve had to learn to be much more discerning over this past six months than I have been in my entire, pretty long life. A lot of people have had to fall by the wayside, for my sanity and psyche’s sake. Even some family members. 😒😏
I know 'trauma' well, too well. I know what it is to be completely 'shattered'.
Not long after my son's death, I tuned into a Dr. Phil show for whatever reason. On this show, he had a guess, a young man by the name of Shawn Pander. I guess one might say it was his debut.
This young man reminded me somewhat of my son, both in looks and 'being', who also was the lead singer of his band. Shawn played a song called 'Simplicity'. I loved it and played it often. I also contacted Shawn and we corresponded on and off for some time.
His song set me on a journey... to simplify. I soon discovered to simplify one's life was one of the most complicated objectives one could set out to achieve. However, with the Grace of God, I've pretty much achieved it for myself.
God usually awakens me between 2 and 3 AM but this morning He decided I needed to get up at 11:30 PM. We empaths are a curious lot. Believe me not trying to channel Bill Clinton but I feel your pain, my dear sister in Christ.
The world is in shock and in a state of awe
that is not a good state of awe. Thanks to modern technology. we bathe daily in the unspeakable depravity of man's inhumanity to man. We have defined deviancy so far down down down down that we don't really have a concept of normal anymore. Hate to be simplistic, but this is the work of Satan the prince of the Earth. He is a murderer. he is a liar. he is a thief. I rebuke him often , during the day ,in a loud stentorian tone that I hope my neighbors cannot hear. "I rebuke you, Satan in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and the blood that he shed on Calvary's Cross for our sins I rebuke you get back to hell where you belong. he goes away for a while, but he's back just like a bad habit.
God has blessed you and me and I include just you and me right now because I know you, Celia ,with a loving and kind heart and I thank him so much for that gift. I pray it will never ever leave me. .... or you, my dear sister in Christ.
I close with a beautiful line from Shakespeare one of my favorite metaphors of all time: "sleep that knits up the raveled sleeve of care."
God bless you all and get some sleep for crying out loud!!!!!❤️🙏🏻
The line that"...trauma is the experience of being forced to do what others want," came from p. 8 of Janina Fisher's "Transforming the Living Legacy of Trauma: A Workbook for Survivors and Therapists. Her mentor, Bessel van der Kolk endorsed her book on the front cover saying: "It's a marvelous and easily assessible work that should be part of every therapist's skillset."
Noting exceptional results, , Richard Schwartz on page 17 of his "Internal Family Systems Therapy" expressed being shocked at the progress patients with horrible attachment history could make. "...Clients were not only separating from extreme feelings and beliefs, they were spontaneously demonstrating unalloyed ego strength. Nothing I knew could account for this. Most of these individuals not only lacked good-enough parenting, their childhoods had been nightmares of fear and degradation. Some had never been held or comforted in their lives. They had no good attachment figures. The implications of what I was seeing were startling for developmental psychology and attachment theory. I wondered, "Are we born with these qualities so we don't have to get them from the environment?" Maybe our psychologies, philosophies and religions had radically underestimated what we call human nature. Even though I had been meditating for years and could shift from negative feelings to calm (or sometimes even bliss) by focusing on my mantra for a few minutes, when I didn't meditate for a while, the feeling of worthlessness crept back in like fog, obscuring my calm and confidence. Now my clients were showing me a new way of accessing calm and confidence. I begin to experiment with noticing parts in my body and asking them to step back instead of using a mantra. Amazingly it worked, and this is how I continue to meditate today almost 35 years later."
The progress and healing from new therapies are welcomed in a country technically advanced but abysmally ignorant(perhaps partly by design) of the importance of a secure loving attachment experience.
It's cold in the Helene District, WNC, USA now. I'm up at least once a night to feed the fireplace to prevent turning on the electric heat pump and feeding the evil corporate beast called "Duke Energy."
I read your writings often, dear Celia and I am sending my heart to you. I wanted to make a comment on this writing because it feels like you hit my nail square on the head. Many blessings to you! Sandra
Célia I’ve decided you need to DANCE 💃🏼 🕺🏻 MORE DANCE !!! Meet me in Ceret and we will dance Flemenco, Sardania and Tap....and Ballet 🩰 but only in water 💦 Soma of Motion to heal ....♥️🙏🏼

I am not fast asleep. I am never fast asleep. Sleeping in my opinion should never be rushed.
LOL Cute!

I agree that we all need detoxing!! Our bodies are like toxic waste sites by now. Ugh.

It still stirs up much emotion within for me.
Thank You, Celia. All of reality exists Within Universal Conciousness/Mind, and we are conscious within Universal Mind.
You are safe, more or less, that way, but it is hard to remember under immediate-threat.
