This happens to your body when you eat ginger every day for a month 10/02/2020

Peace folks! Found this article I want to share. Ginger is by far one of the best foods for all sorts of health issues. Ginger helps with nausea, inflammation, and immunity. Have a little bit of ginger and turmeric each day to ensure your body stays in good shape.

396Hz Solfeggio | ROOT CHAKRA SLEEP MUSIC 09/07/2020

Did you know that one way to balance out our chakras, which are balls of energy in our body, is by listening to certain frequencies associated with the chakra that needs balancing? I’ve tried them myself and have found some support in sleeping better. I wanted to share.

The Root Chakra, located where our reproductive system lies is important for being able to ground yourself. I think we all need that these days. The Solfeggio Frequency for the Root Chakra is 396 hertz. Below you will find a YouTube link to try out.

Make sure you sit or lay in a comfy position, close your eyes and focus on picturing your Root Chakra filling with light or vibrating clockwise. Continue to breath and set an intention for what kind of healing you would like by listening to this frequency. Enjoy!
