In a new study, researchers analyzed data from 24 previous studies and found that cannabis use is associated with a significantly increased risk of major cardiovascular events.

The findings, based on health data from 200 million people worldwide, showed that cannabis users had a 20 percent higher risk of stroke and twice the risk of death from cardiovascular disease compared to non-users.

How do you silence your inner critic?

As the new week begins, many of us feel the pressure to be productive, positive, or "put together." But sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is offer yourself the same compassion you'd give to a friend. Your inner voice shapes how you see yourself and face challenges - so let it be gentle, kind, and patient.

May we continue to create the world we believe in together, and may the blessings of loving awareness extend endlessly in all directions.

As we move through each day, may we remember the power of collective intention and the quiet strength of presence. When we meet the world with loving awareness, we become part of the healing.
Let’s keep walking this path—together. 💛
