I have started (almost) every day with a glass of warm lemon water and it has made a huge differences for me. Warm lemon water in the morning helps kickstart the digestion process for the day. According to Ayurvedic philosophy, choices that you make regarding your daily routine either build up resistance to disease or tear it down. Ayurveda invites us to get a jump-start on the day by focusing on morning rituals that work to align the body with nature’s rhythms, balance the doshas and foster self-esteem alongside self-discipline.
There are many health benefits of lemons that have been known for centuries. The two biggest are lemons’ strong antibacterial, antiviral, and immune-boosting powers and their use as a weight loss aid because lemon juice is a digestive aid and liver cleanser. Lemons contain many substances–notably citric acid, calcium, magnesium, vitamin C, bioflavonoids, pectin, and limonene–that promote immunity and fight infection.
HOW TO DO IT: You should be using purified water and it should be lukewarm not scalding hot. You want to avoid ice cold water, since that can be a lot for your body to process and it takes more energy to process ice cold water than the warm. Always use fresh lemons, organic if possible, never bottled lemon juice. I squeeze 1/2 a lemon with each glass and I drink it down first thing before I eat a single thing, or workout, etc.

1) Aids Digestion. Lemon juice flushes out unwanted materials and toxins from the body. It’s atomic composition is similar to saliva and the hydrochloric acid of digestive juices. It encourages the liver to produce bile which is an acid that is required for digestion. Lemons are also high in minerals and vitamins and help loosen ama, or toxins, in the digestive tract. The digestive qualities of lemon juice help to relieve symptoms of indigestion, such as heartburn, belching and bloating. The American Cancer Society actually recommends offering warm lemon water to cancer sufferers to help stimulate bowel movements.
2) Cleanses Your System / is a Diuretic. Lemon juice helps flush out unwanted materials in part because lemons increase the rate of urination in the body. Therefore toxins are released at a faster rate which helps keep your urinary tract healthy. The citric acid in lemons helps maximize enzyme function, which stimulates the liver and aids in detoxification.
3) Boosts Your Immune System. Lemons are high in vitamin C, which is great for fighting colds. They’re high in potassium, which stimulates brain and nerve function. Potassium also helps control blood pressure. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) found in lemons demonstrates anti-inflammatory effects, and is used as complementary support for asthma and other respiratory symptoms plus it enhances iron absorption in the body; iron plays an important role in immune function. Lemons also contain saponins, which show antimicrobial properties that may help keep cold and flu at bay. Lemons also reduce the amount of phlegm produced by the body.

4) Balances pH Levels. Lemons are one of the most alkalizing foods for the body. Sure, they are acidic on their own, but inside our bodies they’re alkaline (the citric acid does not create acidity in the body once metabolized). Lemons contain both citric and ascorbic acid, weak acids easily metabolized from the body allowing the mineral content of lemons to help alkalize the blood. Disease states only occur when the body pH is acidic. Drinking lemon water regularly can help to remove overall acidity in the body, including uric acid in the joints, which is one of the primary causes of pain and inflammation.
5) Clears Skin. The vitamin C component as well as other antioxidants helps decrease wrinkles and blemishes and it helps to combat free radical damage. Vitamin C is vital for healthy glowing skin while its alkaline nature kills some types of bacteria known to cause acne. It can actually be applied directly to scars or age spots to help reduce their appearance. Since lemon water purges toxins from your blood, it would also be helping to keep your skin clear of blemishes from the inside out. The vitamin C contained in the lemon rejuvenates the skin from within your body.
6) Energizes You and Enhances Your Mood. The energy a human receives from food comes from the atoms and molecules in your food. A reaction occurs when the positive charged ions from food enter the digestive tract and interact with the negative charged enzymes. Lemon is one of the few foods that contain more negative charged ions, providing your body with more energy when it enters the digestive tract. The scent of lemon also has mood enhancing and energizing properties. The smell of lemon juice can brighten your mood and help clear your mind. Lemon can also help reduce anxiety and depression.
7) Promotes Healing. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C), found in abundance in lemons, promotes wound healing, and is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of healthy bones, connective tissue, and cartilage. As noted previously, vitamin C also displays anti-inflammatory properties. Combined, vitamin C is an essential nutrient in the maintenance of good health and recovery from stress and injury.

8) Freshens Breath. Besides fresher breath, lemons have been known to help relieve tooth pain and gingivitis. Be aware that citric acid can erode tooth enamel, so you should be mindful of this. No not brush your teeth just after drinking your lemon water. It is best to brush your teeth first, then drink your lemon water, or wait a significant amount of time after to brush your teeth. Additionally, you can rinse your mouth with purified water after you finish your lemon water.
9) Hydrates Your Lymph System. Warm water and lemon juice supports the immune system by hydrating and replacing fluids lost by your body. When your body is deprived of water, you can definitely feel the side effects, which include: feeling tired, sluggish, decreased immune function, constipation, lack of energy, low/high blood pressure, lack of sleep, lack of mental clarity and feeling stressed, just to name a few.
10) Aids in Weight Loss. Lemons are high in pectin fiber, which helps fight hunger cravings. Studies have shown people who maintain a more alkaline diet, do in fact lose weight faster. I personally find myself making better choices throughout the day, if I start my day off right, by making a health conscious choice to drink warm lemon water first thing every morning.

A Hathor Planetary Message
Through Tom Kenyon
Hathorian Stream of Light
The Hathors have been asking me to post this sound meditation for weeks due to the extreme stress that many individuals are experiencing and will continue to experience in their lives.
This sound meditation is gentle and subtle, but its benefits are extensive, in that it allows you to gently release tension that arises from your present circumstances, and if you choose to work with it further it can help release negativity from your past.
The meditation is 12 minutes long and is best listened to with stereo headphones or earbuds. If you have the space to do so I suggest you lie down and prop your legs up so that they are higher than your head and chest as this simple position will assist you to relax more deeply.
Breathe in long slow comfortable inhales and gently relaxed exhales, letting each exhale be more relaxed than the one before it.
The sounds that comprise the meditation are from a stream that flows on the island where I live along with Hathor sounds that are analogs from the light realms to release stress and to activate networks of light in your body.
As you listen to this meditation imagine that a stream of liquid light is flowing through you from the top of your head down through the space of your body and out your feet and hands, gently carrying away stress and tension.
Keep your awareness in your physical body as you listen to the sounds of the stream and the sounds of the Hathors. By doing so you will allow the vibratory energy of healing and release to move deeply into your organs and other areas of your body that may be tense and constricted.
I suggest you rest a few minutes with your eyes closed after listening in order to sense the subtle energies that have been released within you. You can repeat the sequence as many times as you wish to create a listening session as long as you desire.

Ein Vorwort:
…wenn ich auf mein jetziges Leben zurück blicke, war es von Kind an eine Herausforderung Dinge für selbstverständlich zu halten, die im Massenbewusstsein nicht als „normal“ galten. Ich hatte in meiner Jugend das Gefühl ein einsamer Sonderling zu sein, belächelt und mit Skeptik betrachtet. Das führte zu Zurückhaltung und dem Status eines stillen Beobachters. In der Stadt, in der ich aufwuchs, Hannover, fand ich damals nicht einen einzigen Gleichgesinnten, und sogar Freunde wendeten sich dezent ab. Das änderte sich, als ich mit Anfang zwanzig nach Berlin zog. Hier gab es viele „Kollegen“ :). Dennoch war es immer ein Spagat abzuwägen, wann, wo und wie ich Dinge äußern konnte, die ich tief in mir wusste und erforscht hatte. Man dachte häufig ich wäre kühl und unnahbar, doch das war nur eine antrainierte Schutzhaltung, denn das Gegenteil war der Fall. Ich bin hypersensitiv, fühle, was alle anderen um mich herum fühlen und nehme „leider“ auch oft die Gedanken war, die um mich herum durch den Äther fliegen. Das war und ist nicht immer angenehm, doch gleichzeitig eine Gabe, um die Arbeit ausüben zu können, die meine Berufung ist.
Auch ich habe mich natürlich genauso wie Foster Gamble gefragt, wie viel ich von meinem Wissen auf meinem Blog zeigen möchte und entschloss mich dazu, meiner Aufgabe der Bewusstseinsverbreitung kompromisslos zu folgen und somit ALLE Themen zu berühren, die mir am Herzen liegen. Mir geht es dabei nicht um Selbstdarstellung, denn ich weiß, was ich weiß und lebe danach. Es ist ein Geschenk von mir an meine Mitmenschen zur Aufklärung und Vorbereitung, ob es nun so verstanden wird, oder nicht. Es gab Zeiten, da wurden wir für unser Wissen gefoltert, verbrannt, ausgestoßen und eingesperrt. Was macht es da schon aus nur belächelt zu werden :))) und wir werden sehen, wer zuletzt lacht :)))….
Die Zeit drängt und das Thema „ET“ und „Multidimensionale Entitäten“ wird zunehmend wichtiger, aus den Gründen, die Foster Gamble bestens in seinem wunderbaren Film „The Movie“ auf www.trivemovement.com geschildert hat.
Ich werde meinen Ausdruck nicht zurück halten, um denjenigen zu gefallen, die zu bequem oder zu ängstlich sind wissen zu wollen, was sie für „nicht Status Quo“ halten und, oder, Ihrer verzerrten, angepassten, eingeschränkten Facette Ihres wahren Wesens, genannt IMAGE, eventuell an öffentlichem Ansehen Schaden könnte…Auf der Basis des IMAGE zu leben zerstört unser konstruktives, mitmenschliches Zusammenleben und unseren wunderschönen Planeten !!! Ich ermuntere alle Gleichgesinnten und Kollegen dazu, sich uneingeschränkt und furchtlos auszudrücken. WIR SIND DA …und …DER RICHTIGE MOMENT IST JETZT !!!!!!…LOS GEHT’S :))))… In Liebe und Dankbarkeit, Arya C.Dix-Kühn
