In times of heightened political tension—whether from immigration enforcement crackdowns, systemic injustice, or community polarization—stress and fear ripple through neighborhoods. These conditions often escalate into violence, mistrust, and fractured social bonds. Group meditation offers a collective antidote: reducing stress at both the individual and societal level, while fostering empathy and cohesion.

Research on the “consciousness-based approach to peace” shows that when groups practice meditation together, measurable reductions in crime and violence occur. This phenomenon, sometimes called the Maharishi Effect, suggests that collective meditation can diffuse societal stress and lower aggression in entire communities.

Group meditation has been shown in multiple peer‑reviewed studies to reduce violence, crime, and social unrest, making it a powerful tool for communities facing political turmoil and systemic stress. Evidence suggests that certain practices, especially Transcendental Meditation (TM) and its advanc...

Cardamom in warm milk is a comforting, aromatic drink known in Ayurveda for aiding digestion, promoting restful sleep, boosting immunity (due to antioxidants/Vitamin C), easing cold symptoms (sore throat, mucus), improving heart health (cholesterol, blood pressure), and even fighting bad breath, offering a naturally calming ritual to unwind with.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, annual family premiums for employer-sponsored insurance reached nearly $27,000 in 2025, a 6% increase from the previous year, and premiums have grown three times faster than wages over the past 25 years. For those on ACA plans, some could see premium increases of over 100% if federal subsidies expire.

The financial strain is real. And it’s prompting many of us to reflect not only on the cost of healthcare, but on the kind of healthcare we’re receiving.

Beginning next month, my health insurance premium will increase by 75%. Office visits will cost an additional $5, generic prescriptions another $5, and specialist appointments will rise by $75. These aren’t minor adjustments — they’re major financial shifts that many Americans are facing right...

As I undergo menopause while pursuing studies in Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine, I am uncovering new strategies to support my body during this transition. I have always been inclined to favor natural remedies over prescription medications and have successfully replaced them over the years, which has proven effective for me. However, I have been taking estrogen replacements for over a year, and upon my latest prescription refill, I was dismayed by a price increase of more than 75%, prompting me to seek a natural means of introducing estrogen into my system. My research thus far indicates that consuming red clover and licorice root together as a tea stimulates estrogen receptors in the body, balances hormones, and supports overall well-being without causing overstimulation or adverse effects. Unlike soy products, which can overstimulate and have blocking effects leading to health issues, licorice and red clover appear to be a more promising option based on my current research. Moreover, this natural approach is significantly more
economical than my prescription.

My younger sister has been battling cancer for 2 months now. She collapsed at church and was rushed to the hospital where they discovered a brain tumor. During the brain surgery she suffered a heart attack, and few days later she had another attack. She had to wait another 6 or 7 weeks to begin chemo and radiation due to her other health issues and getting her body more stable. This is going to be a long battle for Kara and a time where she is not going to be able to work.
I live 6 hours away from her and so it is difficult for me to go help her very often at this point and time. She is blessed with a strong and supportive group of friends who make sure she gets to her chemo and radiation treatments and that she is fed and laundry is getting done.
However, costs for treatments is insanely expensive and her normal bills aren't going to stop coming in. She could use all the help she can get.
To make matters even more challenging, our mother fell leaving the hospital after visiting Kara, and she broke her femur and she has been in a rehab facility for a month and will be coming back home tomorrow. So, there is a lot going on right now for my family.
Even if you cannot help out financially at this time, please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers.

Kara has been at Northwest Community Hospital for two months. I was on a respirator… kara benson needs your support for Standing with Kara in Her Time of Need

✨ Stair Confidence Tip ✨
Do you feel uneasy walking up or down stairs?
Pause for a moment and notice your feet.
👣 Correct stance = hip-width or wider
• If your feet are too close together, you create a narrow base of support. This will cause you to feel off balance.
• Keeping your feet hip-width apart or wider gives you a stronger foundation and more confidence.
🪜 Step alignment matters too:
• Step onto the center of the step—off-center placement throws off balance.
• If your feet turn too far in or out, it can make you unsteady.
Next time you’re on the stairs, give yourself space, center your steps, and align your feet—you’ll feel steadier and safer with every move. 💪✨
