If you feel sluggish, inflamed, numb, disconnected, who’s really in control? 

THINK ABOUT IT...

You’ve been conditioned to think about your body as something mechanical, as an object to drag through the day- something to push, fix, punish or decorate…

But never as sacred…

Never as intelligent… as a vessel of Divine intention. 

The ancients knew this. The body was never a burden, it was a temple.  Not just in theory, but in function.

Every breath you take, every cell in your gut, every spark in your nervous system, it’s all part of a living code designed for perception beyond the 5 senses. But the modernism of the recent centuries is teaching you constantly to ignore it. 

Start with the gut.

The gut produces more neurotransmitters than the brain, it’s your second brain, regulating your mood, your energy, and your spiritual receptivity. Yet it’s constantly under attack.

Pesticides, processed foods, antibiotics, synthetic preservatives, all designed not just to destroy gut flora, but to destroy our capacity to feel clearly. When your gut is compromised, your mind is clouded. When your digestion is inflamed your thoughts are unstable.

Those in the “remedy” business don’t want you to be sharp, focused, and intuitive… they want you bloated, distracted, emotionally volatile, and they’ve engineered the food system to be sure.

But it’s not just the food. It’s your water, your air, your light. 

Tap water filled with endocrine disrupters. Air saturated with industrial toxins.  Artificial light that scrambles your circadian rhythm and drains your life force. And through it all you're told this is normal, you're told to adapt. To medicate. To caffeinate. To carry on. And when your body starts breaking down they offer pills instead of root solutions. 

They give you diagnosis after diagnosis but never ask the real question -
what are you feeding the instrument of your divinity?

That system doesn’t profit from your clarity…it profits from your chaos. 

This is why healing your body isn’t just a wellness trend.

It’s an act of Rebellion.

It’s the foundation of awakening.

Your consciousness can’t fully rise in a body that’s drowning in inflammation, toxicity, and fatigue. 

You can’t connect to the Divine when your nervous system is in survival mode.  You can’t remember who you are when your cells are constantly battling the poisons of modern life.

Liberation isn’t only mental, it’s cellular.   And every choice you make, every meal you eat, every breath you take is either feeding your awakening or feeding your suppression. 

And here’s the real breakthrough.

Your body wants to wake up. It’s always communicating. Always recalibrating. Always moving towards healing when you give it even half a chance.  And when you start treating it like the intelligent energetic vessel it is, everything shifts.  Your thoughts clear, your emotions balance. Your intuition sharpens. That’s not a coincidence. That’s coherence.

That’s not a coincidence. That’s coherence.

The state where your body, mind, and spirit align into one unified field.  That’s when you stop living from your head, and start living from your whole being. That’s where awareness stops being a concept, and starts becoming your baseline. 

Most coaches bypass this.

They tell you to rep your problems away while still eating food that numbs your senses and scrolling until your dopamine is fried. But you can’t hack your way to awakening. You have to live it, feel it in your skin. In your gut, your breath. This is true embodiment. Not the aesthetic kind, but the kind that rewires your nervous system and clears the fog from your perception. Because the Divine doesn’t live in the sky or in scriptures. It lives in your blood, your bones, your breath. You don’t have to look outside to find it. You just have to clean the vessel it’s been trying to move through all along. 

TAKE BACK CONTROL OF WHO YOU ARE.

Find who you were meant to be.
Find who you are.

TAKE THE LEAP

Everyone wants to be fit and healthy, but not everyone is willing to work for it. Oftentimes we'll see new members working out diligently for the first few months, then somehow fall behind on their exercise routines. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is no joke, and it can be challenging for some of our members.

If you're finding it difficult to stick to your workout routine, using a fitness app could help. There is a wide range of health apps available that offer something different depending on the user's needs. This article talks about the pros and cons of using health and fitness apps.

#1 Helps you track your progress

Fitness apps are great for tracking your progress, especially if you're curious about how well your training efforts are paying off. Whether your goal is to lose weight, gain muscle, or tone up, fitness apps will provide you with a progress report to show you how far along you are to reaching your goal.

#2 Create your own workout routine

Some people live very busy lives that prevent them from going to the gym. Most of them work out at home, but without the help of a professional instructor, coming up with a workout routine that works is difficult.

Fortunately, there are fitness apps that can provide you with effective workout ideas designed to match your current level of fitness. These apps will provide you with options in terms of workout intensity and frequency to ensure you achieve your fitness goals.

#3 Helps you set realistic goals

One important thing to remember when starting a workout or exercise routine is to set goals you can meet. Seasoned veterans won't have any problem meeting new workout goals because they've developed the discipline to do so. But it's another story if you're making the switch from a sedentary to a more active and healthy lifestyle.

This is where a fitness app can help. Instead of making you go through an unrealistic plan, fitness apps will guide you through the transition toward becoming active slowly but effectively. By setting attainable goals, fitness apps can help you stay motivated and positive while you work toward a healthier lifestyle.

#4 Plans out an effective diet

Diet plays an important role in fitness. It doesn't matter how much you work out or exercise. If you're not providing your body with the nutrients it needs, your entire workout routine will not work as effectively as you want it to.

Diet apps help you plan out your meals to ensure you're getting the most nutrients to complement your workout routine.

Not all fitness apps are 100% accurate, though. Apps that come with pedometers will often tell you that you should take at least 10,000 steps daily. There is still some debate about whether this figure is correct. The International Journal of Obesity released a study stating that taking 15,000 daily steps is better for reducing the risk of heart disease.

The same holds true for apps that count your calories. The Journal of the American Dietetic Association found the equation these apps used to measure basal metabolic rate (BMR) showed errors ranging from +/-111-134 calories a day. It's better to look at these numbers as estimates rather than absolutes.

Despite the apparent disadvantage of health and fitness apps, more people are using them to achieve a fitter lifestyle.
