It looked like something you’d find in Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley. “What is this for?” I asked the clerk. “It’s good for skin, and it sells out all the time,” she replied. “What’s it made of?” I persisted. “Some kind of tree blood,” she shrugged, “like vegan blood, that’s all I know.” Intrigued, I plunked down $15 and took it home. It turns out that Sange De Drago, is very much like a plant-based blood, filled with anti-oxidants and healing phytochemicals. Harvested from Dracaena cinnabari trees, Dragon’s Blood is viscous, deep red, and has an earthy aroma. Native to the Socotra Archipelago in the Indian Ocean, Sange De Drago trees grow across South America and are found as far North as Mexico. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/ec5af102-8b0a-4e6a-bd2b-ada2b462c228/Dragon_Blood_Tree.jpeg Blog Posts - Dragon’s Blood, Sange de Drago — The Native Cure - Sange De Drago sap is reddish and slightly foamy when applied, it dries to a dark pink with a subtle sheen. The thin layer becomes a second skin. Although somewhat bitter-tasting, you can feed this to animals and humans alike, and apply it to rashes and minor abrasions and cuts. If an animal licks this product, it will cause no harm, and may in fact be good. A few drops in pet’s water can help with parasites. Humans and animals alike may take small does of Dragon’s Blood internally, for calming the central nervous system and minor stomach problems I also found that Dragon’s Blood does wonders for my skin, although upscale cosmetic companies have already discovered this fact, and are now using Dragon’s Blood as an ingredient in pricey bottles of face cream. Dragon’s Blood can be blended with almost anything you are already using. A bit drying by itself, mixing it with a cream base, or something thicker like Egyptian Magic (a whole other post) quickly produces a very healing skin tonic. The biggest drawback is that it stains. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/299dda35-f855-4c44-9aad-4b260ae0d14b/palms_fixed.jpg Blog Posts - Dragon’s Blood, Sange de Drago — The Native Cure - Depending on how concentrated the Dragon’s Blood used in your home preparation, it will temporarily color your face, no matter what your skin tone. While it washes off skin and hair easily, be aware that it stains fabric and can get under your finger nails, making them seem dirty. A little soap, peroxide, and a nail brush will fix this quickly. I find that either alone, or blended with cream, Dragon’s Blood works best if you also mix a dab of Aloe/DMSO cream. PLEASE NOTE: You should NEVER use DMSO with a chemical product of any kind. DMSO pulls anything it is mixed with directly into your blood stream. Dragon’s Blood is safe, however, and as it is 100% plant-based, as well as a detoxifier, it will do your blood good. So, not to worry when using the two together. Dragon’s Blood purifies the dermis, gets rid of blemishes, and diminishes age spot and lines. I also use it on my toothbrush for gum health. (It doesn’t seem to stain teeth and it is excellent for overall dental and gum care.) Sometimes I put a few drops in water or juice just before sleeping as it promotes deep sleep and pleasant dreams. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/c95024da-df3c-4590-b25c-ae847a82b052/Cit_Dragon_Tree.jpeg Blog Posts - Dragon’s Blood, Sange de Drago — The Native Cure - All in all, Sangre De Drago is a natural healing sap and belongs in everyone’s medicine cabinet.

Multiple devices that I never turned off were keeping me hooked to instant updates about family, friends and the general diaspora; not to mention a deluge of news, social media, and hawking. My “break” from working on my computer was to open Facebook or the news. When I finally looked up from my iPad, faces were going by in the crowd, and everyone was looking down at their phones. People were texting even while crossing busy intersections; checking their messages during movies, and peeking at their devices during the course of normal conversations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/add39a8c-d6fa-4172-8547-e021a1f9c579/Vipassana-Meditation-Secrets-p2.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part I ~ Experience) - Lest we become beleaguered shells run about by a constant barrage of e-babble, it is necessary to invest real time in some form of self-induced stillness. Also, it’s pretty much mandatory if you have any wish to hear the still, small, inner voice of Truth. Not to mention for the sake of your sanity, health, creativity and even everyday decision-making. Being “constantly connected” is fun, but It can also start to steal your soul. I knew I had to do something. My own meandering quest for inner stillness has taken me down some interesting paths, with varying degrees of “success”. I’ve chanted mantras until I couldn’t remember my own name, bent my body into Cirque De Soleil Hatha yoga poses, done Holotropic breathing until I hallucinated, and those are just some of my more mainstream consciousness-raising experiments. Learning how sit still and meditate has ironically been the biggest challenge of all. It turns out that besides the ambitious goal of spiritual enlightenment, meditation is simply good for our over active, reason-stuffed minds. My own personal best breakthrough as an adult came after a ten-day silent Vipassana retreat. But that was back in 2011. I needed a practice that I could do without becoming a temporary acetic or going nuts. Something gentle that I could fit into my daily life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/3ff1015f-29c0-402c-b8f7-28879b592ed4/black-dark-dark-blue-feet-floating-girl-p3.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part I ~ Experience) - Cut to 2014, when our friend Randall casually mentioned that he’d been going to a float tank to help heal a neck injury after a bicycle accident. A little “ping” went off in my stressed-out head. The silence, weightlessness and rest that he described suddenly sounded a more like a vacation and less like a wacko science experiment. But where to find a tank and get my feet wet, so to speak? If you wanted to try floating ten or more years ago, chances are, (even in trailblazing LA), you probably would have had to wheedle an invitation out of your best hipster friend to use his backyard unit, secretly hoping he’d recently changed the water. Nowadays, like the next big wave of the mainstreaming of yoga and meditation, there is a good possibility that a pristinely clean, well-maintained “float center” has cropped up somewhere near you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/4c270334-8883-4a84-8cbc-b54c5ba4b591/blue_open-float-pod-p4.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part I ~ Experience) - Looking on-line, I quickly found that no less than three float centers had opened in the greater LA area, and in fact they are popping up all over the USA, Canada, Europe, Australia and the Netherlands. Not your neighbor’s grungy tank, these current models are sleek, with high-tech filtration systems. Many of the new float centers are more like luxury spas, catering to people of all ages for all kinds of reasons. A lot of these offer opulent touches like meditation music piped directly into the units, as well as optional pastel lights to ease the sudden transition from traffic and mall shopping to complete darkness and silence. Some, (like LA Float Center in Woodland Hills, CA) even have oxygen bars with fruit or mint-tinged oxygenated air to inhale post-float. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/3b31fbc6-5808-413d-832d-1e71c5edf0e9/BeautifulShellTank-p5.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part I ~ Experience) - When the need arises, the technology will come. Obviously the ‘Information Age’ has added a whole new rung of stress to the ladder. Research has shown that floating alleviates chronic pain and stress-related issues. It is well-documented that floating helps free people from compulsive disorders, such as over-eating and other addictive behavior. It also accelerates healing, increases self-confidence and fosters general well-being. Not to mention the occasional drug-free, out-of-body experience. All by, well… doing absolutely nothing for 90 or so minutes in a weightless environment. Do they really work? What is it like to float? The only way to find out was to do it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/8ea2b940-eb2d-4195-b745-300f8b0c39a9/StarFleetShuttle1-p6.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part I ~ Experience) - I went along too, not sure until the last-minute that I would actually get inside the thing. The first float is usually a kind of orientation to the process, the unconventional wisdom being that you need to go a few times to get the hang of it. We both chose some beautiful, Indian style, meditation music and entered our private rooms. Once inside I beheld what looked like a fiberglass mock-up of a Star Fleet Shuttle filled with water. You have a few minutes to shower off before entering the pod. The filtration systems are very good, but it’s essential to wash before entering to keep oils out of the tank, and then afterwards to remove the salt solution from your skin. Earplugs serve to further quiet the experience and keep salty water from seeping into your ears. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/24e8d528-7591-48af-9e88-c6fdd7723030/redlightfloattank-p7.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part I ~ Experience) - Almost immediately, my husband opted for total dark and quiet (he reported to me afterwards) finding the music and light a distraction. Not quite as intrepid, I lay back in the water and quickly pressed the button to turn off the pastel ambient light, but left the music playing. As I began to relax in the dark I felt my body start to adjust to weightlessness. At the same time, I experienced odd, violent itches on my neck and legs which seemed too deep under my skin to have anything to do with Epsom Salts. There was an initial disorientation as my mind grasped for “things” to hold onto. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/26373e06-2473-4ffc-86ea-1c25fa3f9c7e/art-fantasy-girl-sea-rocks-night-night-sky-stars-planets-three1-p8.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part I ~ Experience) - Suddenly, I clearly felt and saw myself swimming up towards the surface of a huge body of indigo-colored water. I realized immediately that I was able to breathe even whilst submerged and felt no lack of oxygen. My husband swam next to me as we rose to the top together, finding ourselves in a beautiful, but totally alien place. The vast, violet sky around us was dimly lit by a golden orb that was like a very bright full moon in its luminescence. A pervading azure glow danced off the surface of gentle, lapping water, and touched the entire landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/063f0f12-40b7-4051-8947-87030ec6d320/voynich_combo.jpg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part I ~ Experience) - Enormous flowering stalks, the size of eucalyptus trees but with bright dewy, succulent petals, grew straight out of a vast lake. These flower-trees were everywhere, resembling aloe plants, but soft as rose petals to the touch. (Plants of Unknown Origin~Voynich Manuscript, photo right). We hovered in the water for a bit, looking all around. There was land nearby, but I felt no urgency to swim to it. Unusual creatures, that looked something like manatees morphed with lions, swam near us. They were very friendly and curious, coming close up and nuzzling, regarding us with large, soft eyes. About a quarter of a mile away, on the land, there were dwellings or temples made of white stone, shining iridescent in the half-light. I asked my husband if he knew what this place was. He replied that we were on a planet about midway between Earth and the galactic core. He said there were “so many wonderful places” he wanted to “show” me. I didn’t question how he knew this. It seemed that we were “us”, but in a different place and time where he possessed a great knowledge of things I knew nothing about. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/02a19f33-eeac-41c9-b604-68d5dd444876/Greek-Temple-Golden-p10.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part I ~ Experience) - My neck and shoulders had relaxed considerably by this time and I felt that places of stuck energy in my body and psyche were being “shown” to me by an intrinsic intelligent force flowing through my body. My neck in particular held a solidified tension and muggle-type crispiness. I found that by simply focusing on a choked area, something beyond my rational understanding went to work on it, unraveling the thicket of crossed nerve wires, stuck emotions, and heavy caffeine levels. It was somewhat appalling to bear witness to how compacted certain areas of my body really had been. I had a certain amount of obviously misplaced feelings of immunity to these kinds of stresses because I practice yoga and swim. Alas, once inside the tank, I understood that my spine was more like a slinky pressed into travel mode than a serpent goddess unbound. I was also able to witness the level of unnecessary vigilance my left brain (logical, time-oriented), exerted over my existence in general. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/d031a386-4cc0-416f-91ad-722143bc4d58/ManaLion_azure-water-p12.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part I ~ Experience) - It seemed like only minutes had gone by and my hour and a half session was up. However, my appetite was thoroughly whetted for this new experience, albeit with heavily salted water. My husband, less prone to effusive excitement, especially over anything that takes place in a salon-type atmosphere, seemed quietly elated and a nagging issue with his hip was drastically alleviated. Afterwards, the known world felt smoother and somehow less noisy. Immediately following my float, choices made in conversation, relationships, creatively, business or even shopping for groceries, were on target. I was “in the flow,” effortlessly led to the right motions and words at the right moments. It was only later on that I realized the shift in my state of mind from floating affected everything I did for the better. The friction was gone! Many of these effects lasted for at least a week, tapering off slowly. After two weeks, I felt the need to get back to the tank as soon as possible. https://lightonbeing.net/blog-posts/lilly-path-to-freedom-2 monthly 0.5 2022-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/e784326d-1b42-4ee3-98fe-5bfb5339451f/eye-and-universe-top.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part 2 ~ History) - Make it stand out Consciousness Precedes Form https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/679c9e9d-d502-4fdf-b4bf-6839dbf64123/220px-Johnlilly4_p1.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part 2 ~ History) - JOHN LILLY: INVENTOR OF FLOAT TANKS John Lilly, (1915-2001) invented the first float tanks in 1953. An American genius and genuine founding father of the American counter-culture, Lilly was part of a cluster of game-changers that included the likes of Baba Ram Dass, Buckminster Fuller, Steve Jobs and Terence McKenna. Like many of the aforementioned individuals, Lilly began by making his way through more traditional channels; becoming first a doctor, a neuroscientist, and a psychoanalyst, in turn. Singularly original, he would not be defined by any particular one of those disciplines. He took what he needed from each category, and then transcended it, ingesting formidable amounts of psychoactive drugs along the way. Eventually, it was his research for the Navy on extreme sensory reduction that brought him to the source of his current fame as the originator of “sensory deprivation tanks“. The Navy wanted to know what might happen to astronauts or submarine operators while cut off from normal external stimuli for long periods of time. Lilly wanted to know the same thing, but for different reasons. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/b540a417-3b3c-4506-a05c-4e58c143f5f2/Float-Masks_p2.gif Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part 2 ~ History) - He made his first trial tanks (more like vats) out of wood. Volunteers had their whole heads covered in light-blocking latex and were completely submerged, sitting upright. Subjects had to breath through complex tubing apparatus. Many of these lab-floats lasted hours on end. Needless to say, the experience was uncomfortable and probably a little scary. Always his own foremost guinea pig, Lilly himself spent many hours under water, sometimes ingesting LSD or Ketamine to augment the experience. It’s important to note, however, that the benefits, and the “high” received from floating requires no mind-altering substances. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/56520ab3-4197-4684-a755-df40955e2442/My-Broken-Heart-mermaids-p3.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part 2 ~ History) - I would argue that Lilly was well aware that there is no such thing as pure “empirical” proof. In so far as the observer influences the result, Lilly’s unconventional, radical methods are exactly what brought him the biggest reward of knowledge. “Rigorous science” has often delivered to us humans some information and a lot of avoidable horror stories as well. It doesn’t make you a better “scientist” to have your heart closed off, but even more ruinous to discovery is shutting down your imagination. The Navy funded a lot of Lilly’s early research, at one point asking him to outfit Dolphins as living bombs, (among other dubious ideas). But John Lilly blithely refused many of their requests and said “no” when they asked for things that he felt were unethical. He also made his work freely available to anyone who wanted it, also against the Navy’s wishes. The man had heart, mind and soul in full flower and he offered all of it to his research without reservation. I believe that there will be a further vindication and renaissance of his work. Float tanks are just one of his many contributions, their uses and benefits are just starting to be understood. The brilliantly creative mind behind these almost radically simple devices, as well as Lilly’s dedicated research, have a lot to do with why float tanks so unique. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/59f7a2a0-3b60-4394-9538-e118a2fe4bc5/Altered-States-p4.jpeg Blog Posts - Float Tanks: The Lilly Path To Freedom (Part 2 ~ History) - “Altered States” the 1980 movie based on Lilly’s work, features William Hurt devolving into a primitive hominid after many hours in a float tank. The lurid Paddy Chayefsky film sensationalized the real experiences of John Lilly and Dr. Craig Enright after taking Ketamine and floating for many hours. The film managed to foster a lingering notion that float tanks just might be idiosyncratic, counter-culture devices right at home along side of Orgone rocks and pyramid tents. Float tanks might have easily never made it into mainstream use. But they did, in large part because Lilly, although often perceived as a fringe-dweller, grew his technology out of the grounded territory of traditional academics and scientific training. Ironically, thanks in part to the rigorous testing and experimentation of their military-funded roots, float tanks have soared well beyond sideshows from the ‘Conscious Life Expo’ and have continued to evolve and thrive. Like yoga, the reason for this is simply that they work. By the way, Lilly did succeed in proving that consciousness is not dependent upon external stimuli. He also found that by drastically reducing the input from the external world, such that the mind can only turn inward, one could get access to and traverse other dimensions of reality. Lilly reconfirmed what ancient sages and today’s scientists (most recently Robert Lanza, author of Biocentrism) have said: Consciousness precedes form. Pure consciousness pervades everything, and is the driving force of the universe. https://lightonbeing.net/blog-posts/lilly-path-to-freedom-3 monthly 0.5 2022-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/b290c2f2-7ac6-46b9-922d-0dcf68ff6d56/womanfloatingatbeach_top.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - Make it stand out Get Naked, Get in the Tank, Stop Moving https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/acc6bfc8-33eb-4ad7-85b7-e6d36169241e/watergirl_flip_p1.jpg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - Floating has become a creative catalyst for the process of many artists and innovators. Extraordinary minds as diverse as Richard Feynman, Buckminster Fuller, Aldous Huxley, Alan Watts, and Graham Hancock have found floating useful. Actors such as Jim Carrey, Jeff Bridges, and Susan Sarandon, are devotees of sensory deprivation tanks. Comedian Joe Rogan has one at home and touts his tank as a cognitive enhancer, think tank, and psychotherapist all rolled into one. However, most new adherents are regular people looking for a reprieve from their hectic lives and a chance for some deep, uninterrupted, introspection. WHY FLOAT? Bobbing in the timeless sphere of a float tank causes all the neurological conduits in your body to redirect away from sensory perception, instead focusing that energy towards mending and rejuvenating cells and tissue. The deep mental quiet that results from removing visual, auditory and tactile stimuli allows a deeper level of brain function to come to the fore of consciousness. Studies have shown that floating can ease depression by working, according to author Michael Hutchinson, “against over-activation of the parasympathetic response by causing the body to release certain natural antidepressant and euphoria-causing neurochemicals, such as the endorphins. At the same time, floating powerfully reduces overactivation of the sympathetic, fight-or-flight response.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/dfa1cfcb-ad46-4ccd-bc7e-a23e92099446/meditation_p2.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - The creative, intuitive, right hemisphere of the brain becomes dominant during a float-session and the rational, left side of the brain, gets a complete rest. The ensuing regular waking hours are more balanced as the flow of information between the two hemispheres remains enhanced. High conductivity between both sides of the brain, is a trait shared by many geniuses as well as spiritual adepts. Out-of-body experiences, astral travel, and hallucinations are also not uncommon (see Part 1). Some people already practicing yoga have reached the most expanded level of meditation they’ve ever known short https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/393f22f0-5917-43bb-a156-9b8a2731702d/dolphinsevolve_p3.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - Conceived in salty water, we spend our first 9 months floating in amniotic fluid. Our bodies then remain nearly 3/4ths saline solution throughout our lives. Indeed, possibly all life on Earth evolved from the dark and briny deep, so it seems intuitively correct that it might be good for us to steep ourselves in salt water and stillness whenever possible. When you step into a sensory deprivation tank clothed in only your birthday suit, you become vulnerable to yourself alone… but also completely safe. The ego is immediately removed from this practice. Your job, car, clothes, diet, beliefs, computer and phone, have little significance in the tank. During a float session, the external noise that we so often mistake for truth recedes from our waking consciousness like fleeing shadows. Pesky obstacles to higher consciousness like bad hair days and gravity are temporarily gone, leaving you alone with your deepest self. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/8f3defc8-e767-4af6-9ad1-3d3d66891a8f/monkey-mind_p4.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - Much of the chatter generated in our brains gets triggered by stuff we see. This is commonly called “monkey mind”. The constant mental, sub-rosa, potpourri of images, memories, worries, and 1001 mental associations, judgements and attachments… plus a lifetime of conditioning. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/a7362454-9f35-46df-8e27-0432583371de/simpsonsfloating_brighter_p5.jpg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - Floating works best when you stay as motionless as possible while in the tank, allowing the body and brain to come to a complete stop. The ideal is to keep yourself somewhere between sleep and waking. Entering a prolonged hypnagogic state of consciousness is very effective all on its own, and can profoundly alter one’s mood, life perspective, and physical health for the better. But float tanks are also highly conducive to accelerated learning techniques such as subliminal recordings, verbal cues, or in some cases audio/visual images. Many people have ended bad habits or negative neurotic patterns after only a few float sessions. HOW DO THEY WORK? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/d2b5418a-b16d-4ec8-81c6-91a5c95971f1/dolphinjohnlilly_flip_p6.jpg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - How exactly, does floating in water super-saturated with Epsom Salts, facilitate beneficial changes for so many people? How does something somewhere between a bath, a meditation, and hiding in a wet storage locker, become one of the greatest modern tools for personal transformation? The answer lies to a large extent with the creator of the sensory deprivation experience, John Lilly. (Please see Part 2 ~ History), a peerless and fearless explorer of the outer realms of human experience. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/f272fe23-1d63-42be-aaab-3e5a9248e0db/masaru-emoto-extraterrestre-p7.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - Water amplifies frequency. This is well-known by anyone studying aquatic animals such as whales or dolphins and their sonar communication. What is less understood is how water conducts more subtle frequencies, the ones too fine spun to hear with our physical ears. It appears that soaking in a sensory deprivation tank conducts neurological and psychological frequencies more efficiently than in air, and “cleanses” them at the same time. This also gives credence to theories of our aquatic origins. Apart from Lilly-esque adventurers in expanded consciousness, floating has also proven to demonstrably speed recovery from surgery and stress injuries. Floating weightless removes all strain on the body imposed by the continual pull of gravity. Many people living in big cities have corrosive adrenalin constantly coursing through their bodies, the by-product of non-stop stress. Floating immediately alleviates pain and reduces stress damage to our bodies. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/c976160a-40cc-4f7a-8b19-ae473f41917a/SamadhiMess-p8.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - Current models of float tanks now run the spectrum from rectangular boxes the size of portable storage lockers, like Samadhi Tanks (the first tanks made for home use and with Lilly’s personal advice), which sell for around $8000); to walk-in room-type units or even Venus de Milo style, shell-shaped fiberglass pods (which are selling on eBay for $40,000). A very affordable tank, called the Zen Tank, has just come on the market, going for less than $2000. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/b5d3e0d5-05bb-4e40-84b8-473eac2cf3e4/shelltank1_flip_p9.jpg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - Whatever style you find yourself in, all are usually filled with around 1000 lbs of Epsom salt-saturated water kept at slightly above body temperature, allowing you to bob on the surface as effortlessly as a ‘Lilly’ on a pond. Free from the effects of gravity, and with the demarcation between skin and water barely discernible. Almost everyone reports sensations such as moving through vast space, or even flying. Some people feel as if they are slowly spinning, or positioned upright instead of prone, even though the pods are too small to actually turn around in, and the water is usually no more than twelve inches deep. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/bf42d0ce-938d-4980-81b4-d5a960f70a91/zen-float-tent2-p10.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - Many adherents to floating have discovered that the one to three-hour float sessions help them dissolve stress, end chronic physical pain and can unravel long-term psychological knots. The great revelation for me has been the heightened creativity that seems to flow from my psyche after every float. Many people have reported quantum leaps and “aha” moments while floating or just after. My experiences have included a couple of waking, lucid dreams, a lot like hallucinogens but with zero angst or loss of bearings. (See Part 1 Experience.) But mostly my experiences have been more subtle; deeply restful, rejuvenating and healing. For up to five days after floating, I have noticed a sharpening and widening of my perception, insight, and cognitive synthesis, even my sense of smell and hearing become greatly enhanced. Hatha yoga, smart drugs, and sitting meditation, all great, do not compare. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/ce9494e8-d2ab-41c9-ba01-016b442f7bbc/float-room2-p11.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - 3. Hemispheric and whole brain integration increases the ability to synthesize and understand new ideas. The active Alpha state (see chart below), while necessary and useful, can also block our connection to the vast supra-conscious well of knowledge and wisdom. 4. Increased feelings of self-confidence and self-mastery. 5. Alert, conscious Theta states are tremendously helpful to artists, writers, techies, entrepreneurs, and anyone trying for creative breakthroughs. 6. Sleep disorders are greatly helped. In fact many people achieve the deepest, most rejuvenating sleep experienced in years after floating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/2e7b3d11-825d-48e2-bcb1-ffdfe6fd63a6/brain-states-BIG_p12.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lilly Path To Freedom ~ (Part 3: Benefits) - Make it stand out Brain Wave Chart https://lightonbeing.net/blog-posts/mercury-fluoride-and-long-skulls monthly 0.5 2022-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/488711c1-8307-4b68-b665-997540df88f8/nefertiti_bust_top.jpeg Blog Posts - Mercury, Fluoride and Long Skulls… What Do They Have In Common? 30% Greater Brain Capacity https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/cdfc84f7-267a-4c46-b269-7e75afbd9e60/crowd-p3.jpeg Blog Posts - Mercury, Fluoride and Long Skulls… What Do They Have In Common? - The film “Trace Amounts” begs the question; why is the preservative, Thimersol still used in our vaccines, despite being a known neurotoxin? If this scenario sounds strangely familiar, that is because another toxin, fluoride, has also been intentionally dispensed to our population under false pretenses for decades. Why is so much money and effort spent on the continuous mass distribution of harmful chemicals on a global scale? In order to understand, we have to pull back and look at look at the bigger picture to see what might actually be going on here. With fluoride loaded water/toothpaste, and mercury laden vaccines, there is a vast delivery method in place to get specific chemicals into the bodies of every human being. These chemicals are being purposefully force-fed to our entire race! No small task with a global population of 7 billion and counting. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/b780e31c-2077-4bc1-aba0-7d7331e30806/Mercury-Autism1-p4.jpeg Blog Posts - Mercury, Fluoride and Long Skulls… What Do They Have In Common? - The frequency of autism has increased a thousand-fold since mercury preservatives were added to vaccines in the late 1980’s. Autism is simply a blanket name inclusive of all the symptoms for mercury poisoning. In spite of the fact that both the CDC and FDA have known for decades that Thimersol is destructive to nerve tissue, this mercury preservative is still being used in vaccines. (ref. VaxTruth) In the confused aftermath of 911, Eli Lilly had a rider tacked onto the emergency Homeland Security Bill giving them complete immunity from law suits pertaining to complications arising from the mercury content in vaccinations. Big Pharma knows mercury is harmful, yet they continue adding it to vaccines for children and adults in doses far exceeding toxic levels. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/f281cac4-8ff5-4bba-a05b-21cf38537cd0/pineal-soul_p5.jpeg Blog Posts - Mercury, Fluoride and Long Skulls… What Do They Have In Common? - My only hypothesis is that there is a deliberate attempt to mutate the human genome. Either mutate it, or retard its development in some way. Accumulated fluoride is known to calcify the pineal gland, hindering its function. The pineal gland is the endocrine secretory organ associated with the ajna chakra. The ajna has long been revered by the ancient Egyptians, and most Eastern traditions, as the third eye through which higher planes of existence are experienced. (ref. Fluoridealert.org.) The tragic effects of mercury poisoning (a.k.a. autism) are well-known with today’s epidemic levels of occurrence, yet in spite of this, a vast amount of money is spent on delivery and PR to keep mercury and fluoride perpetually pumping into our population. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/b22ff528-b4c1-4212-aa3f-c4eedfc1d319/skulls_p2_flip.jpg Blog Posts - Mercury, Fluoride and Long Skulls… What Do They Have In Common? - Reminiscent of the way facts surrounding mercury and fluoride have been deliberately concealed, there is another concerted cover-up, related if only by the truth being obfuscated on a planetary scale for generations. This particular veil of secrecy concerns elongated skulls, remnants from a global race, almost always found in conjunction with ancient megalithic sites; huge stone structures built to a level of architectural perfection exceeding our ability to duplicate, even with today’s technology. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/dc0317eb-25d2-4cef-9a77-2212ff160c2e/femalelongskull_p6_SQ.jpg Blog Posts - Mercury, Fluoride and Long Skulls… What Do They Have In Common? - A significant number of the most ancient long skulls did not result from ‘boarding’, a body modification practice of comparatively modern human cultures imitating an object of veneration. The long skulls I’m referring to have been found, among other places, at archeological sites in Peru (Nazca Lines and the Paracas peninsula), Egypt, and Malta. These skulls have only 2 skull plates, and a 30% greater brain volume capacity, than the smaller skulls of modern Homo Sapien Sapiens, comprised from a number of fused bone plates. Naturally occurring long skulls also lack the resulting flattened frontal area of the artificially deformed (boarded) skulls. Why are these anomalous beings completely left out of any formal academic discussion, literally ignored by “experts” as if they had never been found. How does the academic archeological community, who tout every ancient bone fragment as the ‘missing link’ from Africa, fail to recognize these long skulls as a separate race of advanced hominids who walked the earth, at a time when ‘history’ would have us all using primitive tools as hunter gatherers? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/428f1947-21a2-47d4-affc-d4b63f96c752/AtacamaHumanoid_p7.jpeg Blog Posts - Mercury, Fluoride and Long Skulls… What Do They Have In Common? - Make it stand out Atacama Humanoid~Skull is not result of artificial deformation https://lightonbeing.net/blog-posts/bucky-balls monthly 0.5 2022-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/c3d908a6-5828-489e-84ca-8974113f420b/5_fullerenes_tp.jpeg Blog Posts - C60 Olive Oil Miracle Health Product? - Make it stand out Fullerene Molecule ~ Carbon C60 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/fd337068-4ef4-41b1-8224-e1c60609cc69/fullerene_margins_p1.jpeg Blog Posts - C60 Olive Oil Miracle Health Product? - Carbon 60 Molecule (photo left) WHAT IS IT? Miracle or just olive oil? Fullerene (carbon 60) molecules are a configuration of 60 atoms in a perfectly spherical shape resembling a soccer ball. Amongst all the chemical elements, carbon has the greatest capacity to bond and form new structures and is the basic building block of life as we know it. The Carbon 60 molecule, a very pure form of carbon, also has an unmistakable resemblance to the ancient, esoteric “flower of life” symbol found in Cabala and other hermetic traditions. Humans have depicted the “flower of life” image since long before modern microscopes existed. Could this be evidence that ancient seers were already aware of the microscopic level and familiar with the C60 molecule? Fullerene molecules are also miniscule Doppelgangers of famed neo-futurist architect Buckminster Fuller’s geodesic domes, hence the nickname “Buckyballs”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/b301dfb0-c6af-44b1-9d33-4f0721e78c3d/030821buckyfuller5-p2.jpeg Blog Posts - C60 Olive Oil Miracle Health Product? - Buckminster Fuller in front of a Geodesic Dome (phot right) In 2011, French scientists gave six rats a specially prepared olive oil infused with Fullerene molecules. The truth is, the French scientists were trying to discover the lethal dose of Fullerene molecules, so they kept feeding the rats greater and greater amounts of the stuff. Then something completely unexpected happened. The rats lived… on and on and on…! They lived past the normal life expectancy for rats with good health. They kept on living past the known upper ranges of lifespan for rats in general. In fact, they lived double their normal lifespan. The rats did not even die naturally; they were eventually euthanized so the scientists could have a look at their organs. What they found were hearts, livers, and spleens all in pristine condition, like those of much younger rats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/f0a62554-3376-48f2-84fb-ad5b99f2d241/Leonardo_da_Vinci_marginL-p3.jpeg Blog Posts - C60 Olive Oil Miracle Health Product? - Da Vinci’s “Flower of Life” (photo left) The publication of the French study’s results sent many in the scientific community into a tizzy. It had to be the olive oil, already known for its health benefits, they scoffed. Or it had to be a mistake, maybe something was wrong with the data, they grumbled. Although olive oil by itself is in fact very beneficial to health, it alone cannot account for these incredible results. While the academics are still dithering over the French study’s findings, the alternative health community has jumped on the histoire of the French rats with its usual vitamin induced vigor, with many intrepid individuals guzzling Buckyballs as if they’d found Ponce de Leon’s fountain. Although the FDA has not yet approved Buckyball olive oil for sale in the US, you can still buy it online for lab uses only (wink wink). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/8615babb-04a1-440e-b96e-816290bd32ab/flower-of-life-p4.jpg Blog Posts - C60 Olive Oil Miracle Health Product? - “Flower of Life” at Abydos, Egypt may be 10,500 yrs old. Carved into granite with unexplainable precision (photo right) Sir Harry Kroto shared the 1996 Nobel Prize in chemistry for discovering Buckyballs, while researching carbon chains in the interstellar medium. He commented, “this most exciting breakthrough provides convincing evidence that the Buckyball has, as I long suspected, existed since time immemorial in the dark recesses of our galaxy. In other words, it is a basic building block of our universe.” Some scientists have speculated that these molecules were instrumental in delivering the codes of life to our planet in the earliest primordial times. Buckyballs, it turns out, are all over the place. These beautiful geodesic, carbon molecules are found in the soot of burning candles, lightning bolt discharges, and the material flowing from supernovae events. Even common molasses, the byproduct of refined sugar, has significant amounts of Fullerene molecules. Buckyballs have been observed as far away as 6500 light years from Earth, hovering in clouds of cosmic dust; and as near as the impact zone of the Sudbury meteor crater in Ontario, Canada. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/5e84e007-02f7-4671-9206-e6be3d3c6d5f/shungite_left-p5.jpeg Blog Posts - C60 Olive Oil Miracle Health Product? - Shungite (photo left) The mineraloid Shungite, first discovered in Russia, contains substantial amounts of naturally occurring Bucky molecules. Shungite has been used since at least the time of Czar Peter (1672-1725) for its ability to cleanse water, although Russian peasants apparently were aware of its properties for a long time before that. The Czar himself drank Shungite water and some believe this practice contributed to his extraordinary vitality and power. He also instructed his troops to disinfect their drinking water by placing chunks of Shungite in their carrying pots. As a result, the occurrence of intestinal problems among Russian soldiers was drastically reduced, and they were able to prevail against the dysentery-afflicted Swedes at the battle of Poltava. Shungite’s ability to purify water is now well-known and documented. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/9370dc11-7ee2-4d7f-855f-63481cb05aff/Sheka_p6.jpeg Blog Posts - C60 Olive Oil Miracle Health Product? - Make it stand out Moosheka https://lightonbeing.net/blog-posts/the-lion-and-tiger-diaries monthly 0.5 2022-08-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/2b81b089-d673-4aa0-83c5-c2442ca724e4/Lion_Tiger_top.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lion and Tiger Diaries~Evolution of Consciousness Big Cats Are Naturally In Meditation https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/6f91990e-9061-4e12-ae52-6304deb632aa/sandfire-p1.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lion and Tiger Diaries~Evolution of Consciousness - The Sand Fire (photo right) Finally made it back to Shambala today (Sat, Aug. 6th, 2016), with a fair amount of trepidation. Recently, a massive fire burned for several days, scorching the land all around the Soledad Canyon preserve. Miraculously, all the animals and a handful of brave people who stayed throughout the blaze, were unhurt. The fire had burned right up to the edge of the compound. We expected that animals (and humans) would be suffering from smoke inhalation, and possibly heat stroke. At the least, we were sure that the more than 30 big cats would be anxious, fearful or agitated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/e7ca2a91-df0b-4add-a958-b921faa69446/IMG_5334-p2.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lion and Tiger Diaries~Evolution of Consciousness - Burned to the Border - Roar Foundation (photo left) Chris Gallucci, the director at Shambala, met the group of “adoptive parents” at the gate. Chris is generally cheerfully gruff, with a ready, cinematic cowboy smile. But today he was downright grim. He had stayed on the property, along with helper Darby and the amazing Tippi Hedren, fighting the blaze alongside firefighters. They weren’t going to leave the animals, no matter what. They had defied evacuation orders, and protected Shambala with their lives. Usually Chris loves all questions about the cats, but today he just said “I’m not gonna talk about the fire right now.” We got it, and followed him inside the compound gates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/648f44d1-f9d7-4fef-a420-107ab504b388/IMG_5165-p3.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lion and Tiger Diaries~Evolution of Consciousness - Chris Gallucci (photo right) One Saturday a month, a dedicated group of people who have chosen to “adopt” one or more of the cats living at Shambala, come and visit their babies. With the help of Darby and a couple of volunteers, you get to give each cat a treat (a large hunk of raw meat still on the bone) and hang out with the animals. The cats look forward to this ritual as much as the humans, if perhaps for different reasons. Shambala is unique, and completely unlike visiting a zoo. The animals are treated more like honored guests as opposed to caged objects for gawkers. Former actress, Tippi Hendren, star of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds”, (still surpassingly beautiful in her eighties), has created a sanctuary out of love. The place is an oasis in the desert. But there is more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/b2f35827-b184-4dd5-919c-f0e93def2d9a/IMG_5286-p4.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lion and Tiger Diaries~Evolution of Consciousness - Darby Feeds Zoe - Roar Foundation (photo left) Big cats radiate energy; high, pure, powerful energy. Being around lions and tigers feels a lot like sitting near an enlightened master. The molecular structure of the air palpably changes. Reality heightens; you are in the company of a perfected being. Even in captivity their regal nature is unmistakable. Big cats are a microcosmic example of the Divine, a piece of biological engineering that combines greatest beauty with maximum effectiveness. One cannot imagine a creator adding anything to them to make them any better. They are absurdly beautiful as well as the most efficient predators on the planet. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/1ecebe09-33b6-471e-acce-3d0019b75580/Trophy-Hunting-Is-Not-Conservation-p5.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lion and Tiger Diaries~Evolution of Consciousness - Hunted nearly to extinction in the wild, big cats everywhere are in immediate danger. “Civilized” countries still permit trophy hunting, one of the most despicable and psychotic of all “sports”. The immense tragedy of this sets in when you are near the animals. That someone would find killing a lion or tiger “fun” is one of the many appalling realities of this world. The intrinsic irony here is that we have reached a historical moment when the pens are to protect the cats from humans, and not the reverse. Great cats were made to run free, and no one can escape the knowledge that penning them is most likely not their first choice. Nevertheless, at Shambala they have shelter, are well fed and have veterinary care. They are in safe, large, enclosures; not caged. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/ac1b4f28-0dc4-4c65-aeba-b54774c97942/Tippi-LION-p6.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lion and Tiger Diaries~Evolution of Consciousness - Tippi Hedren and Lion - Roar Foundation (photo left) Tippi has rescued big cats from far and wide. Many come to Shambala after someone realized that a lion or a tiger wasn’t a great idea for a house pet. Michael Jackson’s lion, Sabu, now lives at the preserve, barely able to walk after the “Neverland Zoo” had his claws removed. There is a mountain lion living there that someone found under their porch, and with good sense, brought to Shambala. Tippi tells a story about a New York City man who shared his two bedroom apartment with a full-grown lion! Cougars, panthers, tigers orphaned by hunters… Tippi has taken them all. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/9f4a2d53-da17-4990-9995-3fb26557cba8/Lily_p7.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lion and Tiger Diaries~Evolution of Consciousness - Lily Lion - Roar Foundation (photo right) The animals approach the fence playfully, making deep, guttural purrs. Alert and receptive, the legendary aloofness of big cats is all but absent. A couple of the lions, usually a little distant, make ready eye contact with us. They react to the visitors as welcome friends, rather than with the weariness of an objectified being. One of the lions does a loping dance back and forth along the fence, looking out with curiosity, and yes, smiling at everyone. After a moment or two of wonder, it becomes obvious that the big cats have bonded with the humans in a deeper way. Even with the exceptional care they receive, the animals clearly know that these people chose to protect them with their lives. There is no mistaking what we are seeing, the animals are showing appreciation. The humans and big cats at Shambala Preserve went through the fire together, and came out with a renewed understanding and love for each other. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/1ada98b2-9512-4b93-a512-a9998d33f0f9/Darby_Zoe_p8.jpeg Blog Posts - The Lion and Tiger Diaries~Evolution of Consciousness - Darby & Zoe Bond - Roar Foundation (photo left) The close call with fire appears to have caused a tiny mutation to both human and big cat. Whatever ingrained, false ideas any of us hold that keep us believing that animals are less conscious, cannot understand, or feel less than humans do, eroded further. A chunk of ignorance separating us from other sentient beings on this blue planet also got incinerated during the seven days of raging fire. Forged in heat and danger, solidifying into trust, a new recognition had arisen between species. Wary friends became loved allies, and instead of loss and sadness, we found something miraculous uncovered by the flames. https://lightonbeing.net/blog-posts/biohack-your-life monthly 0.5 2022-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/5adc6f41-2bee-4393-9e21-e00785000b5b/applecaduceus-845x321_top.jpeg Blog Posts - Biohack Your Life Do-It-Yourself Biology https://lightonbeing.net/blog-posts/food-grade-hydrogen-peroxide monthly 0.5 2022-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/4c29168e-2e9b-499f-8423-41acdc461e54/hydrogen+peroxide+Sydney+Light+on+Being Blog Posts - H2O2 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide - Biohack Tool #1 Effective, Non-Toxic Cleaning Product https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/f0eb4776-7c88-436c-b5d7-e50777bd0637/H202-300x179_p1.jpeg Blog Posts - H2O2 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide - Biohack Tool #1 - 35% FOOD GRADE HYDROGEN PEROXIDE (H2O2 has one more oxygen atom than water). If you do not have this versatile product in your home, get some. (You can find it on Amazon, as well as in some health food stores.) 35% food grade hydrogen peroxide is not the same stuff in the brown container from Rite Aide everyone has in their medicine cabinet. Most commercial peroxide at only 3% H2O2, is generally a low-grade and usually impure, containing toxic stabilizers such as acetanilide, phenol, sodium stanate and tertrasodium phosphate. The difference in strength and efficacy between 35% Food Grade and drugstore peroxide is vast. Sort of like the chasm of potency between a lite beer and absinthe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/19142f89-9861-494c-8664-b0c5f55a07a9/bathtub-300x225_p2.jpeg Blog Posts - H2O2 35% Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide - Biohack Tool #1 - 5.

READ UP: There are many testimonial about 35% peroxide for health, a cleaner home, and a safer way to sanitize. Get rid of bleach in your home altogether. Completely outdated and not a Biohack tool. 7. MANY SITES WILL TRY TO SCARE YOU AWAY FROM THIS VALUABLE PRODUCT. IF YOU HAVE FEAR, KEEP READING UP.

The paper industry uses chlorine and chlorine dioxide to bleach everything from coffee filters to milk cartons, but toilet paper production uses more of these harmful chemicals than almost any other paper product. The manufacturing byproducts; dioxins, furans and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), are among the most carcinogenic substances on earth. The manufacture of household paper products has flooded these toxic chemicals into our air and water. What many consumers don’t know is that these toxins are also absorbed through our skin. Even low levels of exposure can cause health problems including cancer, Endometriosis, hormone imbalances, immune system impairments, reduced fertility and birth defects. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/a1c15b05-f235-484d-84e9-9b50cd72bab6/dioxin-24-638-450x338.jpeg Blog Posts - Throw Away Your Toilet Paper For Good! - Consumers in the USA now spend more than $6 billion a year on toilet paper — more than any other nation in the world. That is trillions of tons of toxic, soggy paper going through our sewer systems, as well as the harmful manufacturing byproducts going into our ecosystems. Add to this the insidious capacity of toilet paper to clog home sewer lines. Toilet paper, feminine products and “wet wipes” are responsible for almost all plumbing issues in single family homes and rental buildings! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/e324113b-b81c-456a-9c68-babc06a46b8f/Cheap-Bidet-Faucet-With-Thick-Angle-Valve-And-Spray-Gun-FTSIH150402071934-3-300x300.jpeg Blog Posts - Throw Away Your Toilet Paper For Good! - Savior faire Euro cultures have used BIDETS for a long time. Made the butt of humor (sorry) in recent films like “Why Him”, BIDETS are having a sudden, aha moment here in the USA. No longer a separate unit that looks like a child’s potty next to the grown-up one, decent bidets are now inexpensive and easily to attach right to your toilet. The new bidets run the gamut from a simple (but effective) hose line from the back of the toilet with a spray nozzle, to more elaborate units with hot and cold water and many spray options. Or, you can invest in a Japanese, $10,000 élite TOTO Neorest 750H that self-cleans and has the most advanced remote control options for the cleaning wand. (IMO, the simple, hand held spray units are easiest and most sanitary because they spray down: just a thought). caption here https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/9bc4ce49-15fb-4258-8c7c-4599b63f0d9f/Nice-Bidet-300x300.jpeg Blog Posts - Throw Away Your Toilet Paper For Good! - Once you have used one of these devices, you will never want to go back to toilet paper. Scratchy, toxic, wasteful paper will seem downright primitive. Not only will you be taking better care of yourself, your household plumbing will also benefit dramatically. Paper products account for almost all clogged drainage pipes. If all that wasn’t enough, the environmental cost of toxic toilet paper is huge. Why contribute to the destruction of our waterways? Americans flush trillions of pounds of toxic paper and waste into sewers yearly! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/0c7807b3-2f6f-4969-bc4b-85ca00f01c80/Chinese_Paper_Making.jpeg Blog Posts - Throw Away Your Toilet Paper For Good! - Toilet paper was first manufactured for the élite in China starting around the 4th century. Many people however, just used whatever was at hand, which, in this case, often included hand-painted scrolls. In 589 AD the scholar-official (humorist?) Yan Zhitui (531–591) wrote: “Paper on which there are quotations or commentaries from the Five Classics or the names of sages, I dare not use for toilet purposes.” (How many works of art tragically went down the drain in this fashion!?) China was also the first to mass-produce toilet paper in the 14th century. Rolls similar to what we use today were made mainly for the ruling classes. The Bureau of Supplies recorded that in one year, during the Hongwu Emperor’s reign, (1328 – 1398), his family required 15,000 sheets of specially made, perfumed paper for use in the palace privies. Each piece measured 2 by 3 feet. Apparently the use of books was not uncommon in the West as well. Lord Chesterfield wrote to his son in 1747 about a man he employed… Black and white scratchboard illustration of the inventing of paper by a Chinese man. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62e1c0a985fe961dd52469a6/18a3a3f2-9593-48b9-92e1-612b12ab77c4/Chugi-stick.jpeg Blog Posts - Throw Away Your Toilet Paper For Good! - In India and parts of the Middle East, water and the left hand are traditional, (hence the custom of the left hand being “unclean”). In Japan, flat sticks, called chügi, were scraped from left to right over the soiled area. In ancient Rome, a sea sponge on a stick (called a ‘gompf stick’) was available to those who used the public toilets. Manners of the day considered it polite to quickly swish the sponge off in a bucket of salt water before the next person sat down. Wealthy Romans used wool and scented water. Ancient Greeks employed stones called ‘pessoi’ and pieces of clay. Sand, grass and corn husks served the purpose for most of human history. https://lightonbeing.net/blog-posts/sadhana-of-a-filmaker monthly 0.5 2022-08-21
