Grief is a journey and in this time of social media, it has truly change the grieving and healing process. When I lost a beloved suddenly, years ago, I was undone. Completely and utterly devastated.

As I navigated this loss, I realized that Facebook had become an integral part of it due to my beloved's FB presence. My experience culminated into an article I wrote and had published here.

I hope it helps someone. ~Barbara 🙏

A softening of pain occurs. More emails come in and the communal sharing of grief continues.

Watch this video and know that this applies to people as well. Be discerning on the vibration of others and be careful who you align yourself with. And notice when you get healthy, more successful, more spiritual, that some people move away from you? this is why. But rest assured that in your higher frequency state like frequency people will enter your life.

ARE YOU SLOWLY BECOMING ZOMBIFIED?! Senescence!!

Senescence: Cells enter a state of permanent growth arrest due to DNA damage, telomere shortening, or stress. These cells, sometimes called "zombie cells," remain metabolically active but stop aiding in cellular health.

Causes:
DNA Damage Response (DDR): Unrepaired damage from UV light, radiation, or chemotherapy triggers a persistent DDR, forcing cells into senescence to prevent propagating damaged DNA.
Telomere Shortening/Age or Damage: Known as the "Hayflick limit," chromosomes lose telomeres (protective caps) with each division. When telomeres become critically short, the cell enters senescence.
Oxidative Stress: From factors like poor sleep & diet, smoking, alcohol, pollution, radiation, and chronic inflammation from stress creates reactive oxygen species (ROS) that damage cellular components and DNA, often leading to premature senescence.

Consequence:
In this permanent senescent state the cells stop dividing but do not die, instead accumulating and releasing harmful substances that cause tissue inflammation and damage, contributing to age-related diseases.
Senescent cells release a complex mix of pro-inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, and growth factors. While those components aid in wound healing in a normal response, senescence’s long-term accumulation causes chronic inflammation and damage to surrounding healthy tissue. Such accumulation of these cells over time is linked chronic biological stress linked to arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer metastasis, and neurodegenerative disorders as well as accelerated aging.

Solution:
Senolytics are a class of small-molecule or natural compounds that selectively induce death in senescent cells. They target and disable Senescent Cell Anti-Apoptotic Pathways (SCAPs), causing apoptosis (programmed cell death) in senescent cells without affecting healthy neighboring cells.

In the comments I will list the senolytic protocol I use. If you create an account with link below and notify my, I will bump your standard 15% discount to 35% for life and this allows an affordable way to supplement and purchase the senolytic protocol.

As a certified holistic life coach I often tell people that wounded people will wound people if they are not healed. The wounded have conditioned behaviors and responses that will persist if they do not heal. Oftentimes the wounded will use that very trauma as an excuse to justify their behaviors and responses that they know deep inside or not right. The wounded one must sit and deal with all the "feels" that are related to that hurt or that drama in order to release it and heal. Sometimes it forgiveness and other time it's accountability or both. It's a journey but it's worth it for the transformation and rebirth that comes after. And remember-it's THEIR journey not yours and you cannot heal them.

Practice self care dear ones when dealing with such wounded souls~Barbara 🙏💜

Added Sleep Science Coach to my repertoire . Will be facilitating a sleep essential oil class this summer where you can learn all the sleep hacks and why sleep is the most important thing you do everyday. Each person that comes the class will have a folder of hacks essential oil samples and a red light night light. Red light does not interfere with melatonin levels at night. Also in the class you will learn how to make a sleep pillow spray or a sleep roll on and make it and take it home with you for a good night's sleep that night. Class to be announced very soon .

A recent study shows that children growing up with electronics and exposed to screen time have less gray matter in their brains. This is startling! Now consider the following;.
Steve Jobs (while he was the CEO of Apple) said he would NEVER give his children an i-pad ... and then he proceeded to tell the masses to NEVER give their children an i-pad .... because "they are too dangerous and addictive for developing brains" ....
Steve was the driving force behind the conception, design and marketing force of the ipad and the CEO of one of the largest tech companies in the world. .
Steve sent his daughter to a Waldorf school ... which emphasizes creativity and prohibits screen technology, focusing on human-centered development over digital, screen-based learning.
Pierre Laurent (former Microsoft and Intel executive)said basically the same thing .... and sent his 3 children to a Steiner school to stop them being exposed to 'screen time' in their developmental years.
​
And here's a hypothesis: if children growing up with screen time messes up their brains and reduces gray matter in their brains and dementia is increasing in adults what if it's doing something similar to everybody not just children . What if we all just stopped using our phones and laptops and IPads as much as we do and maybe have a day of nothing but connecting and reconnecting to our life rather than the artificial one in our phones .

Did you know: Freezing bread has a health perk. While freezing bread preserves it longer, when bread is frozen, some of the starch changes into what is called resistant starch. Resistant starch is not digested the same way but instead feeds beneficial gut bacteria and can help with steadier blood sugar. Toasting from frozen keeps great texture and flavor while reducing waste.
