TV in ice ville

I've been meaning to write a little catch up...I swear that if I had a huge following I would blog, vlog and tweet everyday, but I know there are people who do look forward to these posts and my videos, and I feel like a heel when I have nothing grand or inspiring to share. My self appointed reason for being on Earth, and as a result, online, is to BE an inspiration. If someone with my level of adversity and challenge can find shiny little moments of joy and the motivation to keep going, then someone out there in the billions of entities trying to navigate this earthly experience, can surely benefit from what I have to share, and that's the whole reason I ever started singing and playing guitar. Well, that and the hopes and promises of the Hollywood glamourized (yet, alas, fake) version of living happily ever after by signing a record contract and becoming a millionaire overnight. And in that striving to get that elusive deal that would change (and rock) my world, I found the internet and became enamored with it's promise of gaining fans, support and peddling merch.

I started my youtube channel so many years ago in order to put out clips of the documentary I was making about my hometown music career (a big fish in a small pond) and in the process I made a few music videos, became a vegan and started sharing my vegan recipes for fun. And then that channel sat there collecting dust for a good long while until I went raw, upgraded my video equipment and started making raw vegan recipes again. Eventually, people started asking me all sorts of questions and my recipes turned into rambles about how mind expanding and eye opening this diet actually is, and not because your getting healthy (which is a good enough reason) but because when the body starts cleaning out the years of accumulated muck, you actually get back in touch more and more with your divine nature, mostly I think, because your senses are raised, your intuition heightens without the toxicity clogging up your awareness, it's easier to see where the Universe is leading you, smells are stronger, energy is stronger, you can hear your body and your higher self talking...and if you ask a question in a state of meditation, it simply falls into your mind. It was about a year into the diet I started to notice the pattern of tolerating less and less foods and that led me to researching breatharianism.

I've taken a lot of flack for sharing my feeling that my body is trying to evolve off of food, but that flack comes from people who aren't having my experience, or following my intuition. And the thing is, it's not easy. It takes a lot of mental power and ambition to actually FOLLOW your intuition rather than shrug it off as fancy because it is so subtle, you really do have to be in tune with things to listen, to be aware, to create the focus necessary to stay strong, in a world that doesn't prize strength or straying from the heard. But I know what I know and I will continue to share what I know and for that I know that I am rewarded in many ways, many totally unknown to me yet...like when you plant a seed, it doesn't become a tree the next day, but watching the tree grow and branches spring forth and leaves and flowers bloom, that's the fun of it.

So when I got up this morning I wasn't in the best of spirits. I've got a loaded plate that includes the continuous ongoing struggle of my health (despite the improvements that my diet has brought forth, I still don't have a thyroid since it was irradiated when I was 15 and my physical structure is so discombobulated -my hip is turned inward, my neck is curved and my shoulder blade is calcified from a muscle spasm I had in my early twenties- that I still have a lot of pain which has resulted in becoming depdendent on a natural, but still health challenging tea that I have to make several times a day to function well, and I know it's interfering in my health and I'm addicted to it to the degree that if I don't take it, I feel very unwell) then my lover is going through a challenge that is worrying me a lot, he went to have a lump looked at today and won't know anything for many weeks, all my stress and winter depression has lowered my immune system and I came down with a head clogging bug that started with major frustration with my kids yesterday, when I woke up this morning and realized I was sick I forgave myself for being such an asshole and letting their petty issues take control of my temper, but I didn't want to get out of bed.

I'm just telling you all this because I know a lot of the soul group has been down in the dumps lately, the energy has been intense and mood swings and depression and lonliness are very common right now, so if you're there, you're not alone. Despite the fact that my goal is to be an inpiration, I feel that it's always paramount to share the fact that I am a real person who sometimes needs to vent and life is not always cherry no matter how well you feed yourself. Also, the whole reason I ever got involved with sharing so openly in the way that I do (amidst constant ridicule and haters and trolls I share honestly and follow my truth)is so people would know they are not alone. I get constant almost daily reminders from people who are very grateful that I do this, people who tell me how brave I am and thank me for telling things they could never tell anyone, and people who's lives have CHANGED because of what I've shared, so I just keep doing that. Now that I know people are waiting to hear from me I'm gonna do what I can. It's important to me to help other people feel less alone. So if I'm feeling blue I'm gonna share that too. I haven't been motivated to make a video in a while because I haven't had anything to share. And also, I want to get the interviews going and that's what I want to focus on so behind the scenes I'm putting it together...but now I've got to let this bug pass through me and have it's little life.

I've also been doing a bunch of pick-up shots for the movie. I decided to just go ahead and get all the filming done and stop interfering in my own process trying to edit it piece by peice...I'll sit down and edit when I've got all the pieces of the puzzle together, that's the allowance I gave to myself. And now I am looking for the band that will play my back-up band and when that is settled, I'll throw a big concert and I can film the last pivotal scene of the movie. I am shenagling the script around so that my daughter is playing the main role (at first she just had a small role as the inner child, then I decided to combine the role of the inner child with ther ethereal eternally intelligent being that my charcter dreams of, and in the end it will all fall together nicely) and she is excited about the fact that I will be dying her beautiful naturally blonde locks with red henna so that she can play mini-me. Honestly, some pieces of this movie have just fallen together so magically, I mean who in hollywood could be so lucky as to have an actual mother-daughter acting team to play an older and younger version of the self? It's too perfect, and she's probably the more talented of the two of us, so just maybe it will launch a career for her and I'll be forced to move to California, sigh...yes, I am still looking for ways to get out of Alaska...I'm going to be trying hard to talk my son's Dad into it if my daughter's Dad slinks out of here like he seems to be planning to move to Australia for the woman he met on the internet. It may be unfortunate if she finds out who he really is before he moves...they are apparently planning to meet in Hawaii, and my daughter says that he has mentioned if he moves to Australia he'll work for her because she owns a huge company, so no surprise what his interest in her is (ha!), he always chooses a woman who can take care of him. If it wasn't for women and his family, he'd have been homeless for the last several years. He moved right into my parents house when we first met complaining that he couldn't afford his apartment anymore (with a weed habit that rivals the cost of most coke-heads it's no surprise and he also smokes cigarettes which are apparently running almost ten bucks a pack now, so glad I dumped that habit when I got healthy). When his sister recently threw him out for threatening her via a restraining order, he moved in with an AA sponsor and then a couple weeks later he moved into a tiny room in a boarding house that a friend of mine happens to own and is less than a block from where I live and despite that, only sees his daughter on the weekends and one evening a week. Well don't get me started on that whole sham of a relationship. I'll be equally pissed and happy if he takes off, after all that he put me through with custody issues so I couldn't leave the state he's just going to abandon his daughter-pissed. Free of his shadow so I can possibly get out of this state-happy!

I just got my tax return so some retail therapy and some goodies I had been promising the kiddos had slated a shopping spree, but since I felt so mucky I was just going to put it off till tomorrow and stay in bed. Then I got an unexpected phone call from an agent of several tv shows. I had applied to be on an episode of "my strange addiction" several months ago, in fact I believe it was still summertime...there was an ad on craigslist, "do you have a strange addiction you would be willing to share on national television?" I saw an opportunity to promote myself and my lifestyle and maybe bring some business my way, so I wrote to them about my diet and all of my supplements (it IS kinda crazy how many supplements I take, but if you follow my work you know that I believe eating is the only reason we need vitamins and we burn out our vitamin and mineral storage everytime we eat). She was interested in my story enough to ask a few questions by email and then schedule a telephone interview that lasted about an hour...she said then that she would pitch it to the team and if there was interest, I'd hear back in a week or two. Never heard back from her till today. Apparently there is a new show brewing on the cooking channel (yes, the irony, I know) and she thought of me because it has to do with alternative diets or lifestyles and she remembered me mentioning the breatharian thing...I said part of being on a clean raw vegan diet was evolving the body towards becoming able to live without food. When she called today she was vague about the details of the show, in fact she didn't really seem to know that much about it, she said the idea was still kind of forming and she would know more soon, but she wanted to catch up with me and get more info about where I am and what I am doing and she wanted to call me towards the end of next week when she had more information and a chance to pitch my details to the crew or whatever...I don't know, just that little nugget of an opportunity put a little spring in my step and pepped me up and I was out of bed getting ready to have a good day...cause you know, you just never know what's gonna happen or what your seeds are going to spring forth...and even though I have grown and evolved enough to know that fame and fortune aren't the answer to life's urgent soul questions, I still would like to have those experiences that my soul longs to know...to have my little soap box in the sky from whence to dispense wisdom and experience and inspire even more people...and yes, even share when it's not super dandy...that we can keep going, and keep finding things to look forward to...right now, for me, it's foremost the sun that I am urgently looking forward too, deperation comes to mind...I wanted to take my kids to LA for a little vacation but I realized if I did that I would be broke again, and that's not something I'm rushing towards...as I keep plugging away on growing my business and bringing in new income streams, eventually a vacation here and a vacation there won't be huge hurdles but common place joys and experiences...someday I would love to take my kids on the roadtrip of America...it's for sure on the bucket list...but right now, national TV is sounding pretty sweet. I'm ready for my 15 minutes outside of the hometown...my 20...25...30 mins here at home keeps going...we'll be on the news tonight (too bad I don't have a tv) with our trip to the local spring talking about the importance of clean healthy water and that will hopefully bring some business my way (fingers crossed)...the newscaster is supposed to post it on youtube soon and I'll let you know when that is...and of course I'll let you know if anything else exciting happens on the tv front.

Kisses from the dark, desolate, iceberg...if I can keep shining, so can you baby, so can you.

New channel

It's time for me to start a new chapter in my life...which for means, a new channel! I've got the new "Magical Crystal Wonderland" up and running over at youtube headquarters. I needed to start a new channel because my old channel had copyright strikes due to the fact that I had no idea if you had music playing in the background that wasn't your own, they would put a time limit on how long your videos could be...also, I really plan to finish the movie this year...I'll give you a big reveal...my daughter is going to play the enlightened being as I have merged two characters in the original script, the inner child will now also be the higher self in an interesting twist that makes perfect sense...I just hope I can beautifully pull it off...we are going to start shooting soon now that I have a decent camera, sent to me by a youtube fan who felt he wasn't really getting use out of it, therefore I should...it is an awesome Universe and manifesting is actually super easy once you get the hang of it...anyway, I wanted to be able to post my whole film without having to cut it into pieces...and when I realized I really want to branch out and do interviews, that was another thing I didn't want to have to cut into pieces...so there you have it...two big reveals on what's brewing over at the magical crystal wonderland...I am also heavily promoting this year and hope that will bring in some big names for our learning pleasure...I had always wanted my own newspaper column, I got it. I always wanted my own advice column, I made it happen (via youtube *Ask a Crystal Child*) and now what I want is my own talk show! SO! We'll be getting the ball rolling now and making it happen in the big time before ya know it...and away we go...please stop by and subscribe, enjoy and share the vids...I'm focusing ALL my attention on service for the next little phase here, get the movie cranked out and build up the support group and see what comes next...got a little book idea rattling around upstairs...enough reveals for today, more on the book topic laters.

*THE NEW MAGICAL CRYSTAL WONDERLAND*

STOP SENDING ME LOVE AND LIGHT!!!

So I cut off the peel of a big juicy orange today and then sliced it in half...this was going to be my breakfast...a lot of times we forget how perfect a simple meal can be that has only one ingredient and takes no time to prepare, and for your consideration, I offer you: the orange. It has a course and bitter outer covering but inside are many segments of juicy pulp, and inside each segment are hundreds of tiny segments that are joined together by a thin paper skin. It's really quite amazing just to look at and also to eat. I think sometimes we just get inundated by something and we forget to marvel in it's simple majesty. Like, it's pretty amazing, that a person, with a life full of experience of trial and error, can click a few buttons and offer you great advice for advancing your own life, your daily practices or even your spirituality. I want to take a minute and just set the record straight, as much as can be done in a few paragraphs on a blog out in interwebs land...I think maybe I just started vlogging too much and forgot the simple majesty of the written word.

A few years ago I started getting really passionate about videography and editing and how many amazing things could be done with film. Up until that point, my only real interest in film was watching it...major movie buff and seriously into all the nuances that make a great film: cinematography, music and placement, the storyline and how to unfold it...I'm really a story teller at heart and I had mostly been doing that through poetry and then music from my late teens into my twenties and then some. So when a videographer from Malaysia came to visit Alaska for work to supplement his meager filmmaking earnings by working on airplanes for a summer and happened upon a little concert I was giving at a local venue here in town called SnowGoose (he had seen my photo in the weekly paper as they were keen on promoting local music and I was always sending them press releases so I got my fair share of ink back in the day), he liked what he saw and offered to bring his cameras to my next gig and film the whole affair. Another friend of mine was getting involved in videography at the time as well and asked if he could tag along so we ended up with three camera angles, and my friend ended up with all the footage that the original videographer just dropped in his lap on his way out of town, and the finished product left me highly facinated with the prospect of video editing (that video project got it's own article in the Anchorage Daily News as well) and I soon purchased my first handheld camera after doing lots of research on what was the best for the cheapest. I set to the task of following myself around with a camera to show what happens behind the scenes in the life of a wanna be rock star who also was constantly on the spiritual path (by which I mean, searching for ways to get closer to the divine and my higher power, to clarify because I have come to find that the spiritual path means many different things to many people, and apparently to some people it means no sexuality, more on that later).

Along the road of this videography, I made an album with some pretty awesome help from Ken Stringfellow, Jon Auer (both from the Posies) and Brock Lindow (36 Crazyfists) and somewhere along the way I had a huge wake-up call and I became a vegan practically overnight. This was a miracle really, because I had been struggling to become a vegetarian for many years and the meat addiction always took over and thwarted all my efforts. However, this wakeup call came with a powerful premonition dream (an energy being put her hand on my belly and said I had cancer and then gave a series of letters and numbers and when I woke up, surprised that I had been asleep because it was so vivid and real, I googled the character series and it was a chemotherapy for cancer) and the voice of the Divine itself "why are you killing my babies" as I "accidentally" watched an undercover animal testing facility video and suddenly for the first time ever, saw what was done to animals in the name of science, and making products "safe" for humans. Interesting side note: later when I learned about breatharianism, I heard Genesis (Jericho) Sunfire say exactly this phrase, he also heard this voice in his mind when he put his hand on a watermellon in a grocery store. The Divine is ALWAYS trying to talk to us. It's up to us to let the voice get through. It seems to come in times of extreme awareness and often stress or life and death situations. In my case, I was looking at a slow painful death if I didn't change my diet.

To make a short story LONG, the reason I brought all this up is to illustrate how my youtube channel got started. I'd already started enjoying my late in life new passion with videography, and here I was a baby vegan in the middle of making a movie. Of course the subject matter got folded into that documentary (which you can now watch in pieces on my OLD youtube channel-more on that later) but here I was inventing all kinds of new awesome vegan recipes from my old standby homecooked style eating I'd been raised on, and I decided it would be fun to share some of those recipes. I had no intention to get tons of views, or to make money, I didn't even know you could. I just got into it for the pure joy of combining my two favorite new passions: filmmaking and vegan recipe creation. Along the way I made a couple of music videos for my own songs. There really wasn't a lot on that channel, just a few recipes, a few music videos...nothing fancy. At some point, my camera took a nose dive and that channel just sat there for a good couple of years.

Then I found living foods, or rather, the lifestyle found me, when I was looking for a way to heal fibromyalgia and myofacial tension syndrome after an addiction to pain medication had taken over my life, my body, my health and my finances. Pretty soon I was the crazy scientist in the kitchen again, mixing, dehydrating, blending, juicing, CREATING with such joy. I was the star of the raw food potlucks. "How did you make this?!" was always the question whenever anyone tried my awesome raw food, and the anser was never a recipe, because I don't use recipes, or follow them, nor am I able to translate the way I prepare food to paper. Also I was spending a lot of time WATCHING youtube, learning about health and watching other people make raw food and talk about raw food and superfoods and supplements. Pretty soon I figured I would just start making videos on my raw food recipes, that way, people could see what it's like to prepare food intuitively and I could join in on educating people about how exciting are the changes in your life when you adopt a living food lifestyle and detox your body.

I would always end up talking about my view of reality on those videos, why I felt that raw foods was the missing link in most people's walk on the spiritual path...it was incredible how heightened my inutition became, how I simply would ask questions and answers would fall into my mind. The synchronicities compounded and life started to be very magical. For about a year I made a living just teaching raw food classes, doing some healing work, and playing music, mostly hosting open mics and getting paid to sing, and also child support helped round it out and make it work, but I definitely was not living on child support, it was just enough to make it all possible. Pretty soon I started receiving lots of comments, mostly questions, about this and that or the other thing and after a while I decided I wanted my channel to be about more than just food or recipes. I decided I would call it "Ask a Crystal Child" because I'd spent a lot of time explaining this type of life purpose that my kids and I were here for and many others I knew were out there struggling to handle being very sensitive in a world that is very broken and very callous. I just figured, I could share what I know, after years of struggling to understand, and to finally reach a place where it starts to make some sense (the place where you realize what you need to do to actually wake up!). It just kinda took off...lots of people were interested and submitted their questions. In the beginning it was easy to ignore the trolls and jerks, but over time, as you gain momentum, so do you gain unwanted attention from people who have no intention to take anything useful and leave the rest, but instead it started to feel like highschool again...where people make fun of the different girl who hangs out by herself because there's no round holes and those square holes are just so uncomfortable for round pegs. I also eventually got tired of all the hassle it took to make ends meet and I wanted to finish making the movie I started making (this time a feature film with a plot) and there was no money to save, so I went back to waitressing after a short jaunt to LA and my first water fast snapped me into the reality of how toxic I was, how long of a haul I was in for, and basically came back to Alaska to start from scratch.
This winter I had as much as I could take of waitressing, serving dead animal carcasses to fat, sick, demanding jerks in super high stress conditions and over the years, the work ethic has gone down to nothing. I grew up in an era where you had pride in your ability to do a good job and you didn't slack off to leave your coworkers to do all the work. In this day and age, with the youth taking over the job market in this kind of entry level position, I found it impossible and intolerable, not just to wait hand and foot on murdering assholes, but also the help was for shit. And I hated my last job so much I got myself fired (the Universe works in mysterious ways) pretty much because the coworkers whose jobs I didn't do for them, banded together and lied to the boss. Be that as it may, I should have left that job long before then, my spritit was shriveling as I would cry for the hour before I had to get ready and drag my body there for those miserable hours of bootlicking bullshit for what seemed like peanuts. Still, there I was in quite the pickle with no money saved, living from one nights tips to the next and raising two kids with no child support (the collection agency hasn't gotten me any payments in over a year).

With many people adding me everyday on Facebook and youtube, the commentary became overwhelming. Everyone has an opinion on who you are supposed to be and how you are supposed to act, and I just am who I am, doing what I do...I've never fit into a box or followed the societal norm. Even the mere act of venting about my job got all sorts of unwarrented judgement and advice when I realized people think I am not supposed to have any feelings or express them. In fact, that is the OPPOSITE of who I am and how I've always presented myself. I have feelings! I have things to say about how fucked up everything is! And I'm empathic to energy so I feel it doubletime or better! And when I revealed that I was trying webcam modeling, being that I am very comfortable with myself and my sexuality, oh the insanity! People all over the place, who I have never met, decided it was their business to tell me what I terrible person I am, being a prostitute and what horrible effect it will have on my poor children. Jiminy Christmas...you would think I was serving DEAD BODIES ON PLATES TO SICK PEOPLE!!! In fact, I had done several videos on the connection between spirituality and sexuality and how they are so overlooked. In fact, I think it's a huge part of the reason humanity is in crisis right now, sexual repression! Anyway, to be quite honest, I would much rather make a living helping people, selling my book and hypnosis videos and chaga, and touring the world giving inspirational talks...and frankly, it's much harder than it sounds, it's not all just taking your clothes off and getting paid, there is a HUGE song and dance and it's like playing poker all night, trying to lure guys into private chat where you get paid. Now if I was just getting paid constantly to be sxy and cute and entertaining, great, it would be a lot better...but I spend the greater part of my time NOT getting paid and I hate it...it's a hassle...a hassle I would rather avoid, but right now I have to do SOMETHING to pay for groceries and support my art...because there is still a great movie to be made, and more after that when I capture the audience I have been looking for.

Today I sat down with my orange and I got some more of this nonsense "your negativity is throwing me for a loop. I'm sending you love and light." and I am just so sick of the whole thing...I am a human just like you my friends...I am allowed to vent, and I didn't start my channel for YOU, I started it for ME...to share what I want to share and if that means venting, that's what it means. If you don't like it, don't linger around me. I'm going to vent. I'm going to share the things that piss me off. And the thing that now pisses me off the most is all these "love and light" people who don't see the mirror. I'm the most honest thing you are ever going to see on the spritual scene. When all the other spiritual motivators are dead from cancer because they couldn't resolve all their anger issues, just remember the girl who was able to vent and allowed herself to "get mad" and tell the truth about it. If you think I need your love and light I don't need you around...because what I actually need, and the reason i started doing all this in the first place, is for YOU to focus on YOU...because if you look at me and all you see is my negativity, you need to get out the shovel and uncover that shit in your own life...you are allowing the mirror to distract you rather than seeing it for what it is: the key to uncovering some messy shit that needs to be hulled out and taken a good long look at it. Go ahead and scream at it, kick it, kill that sonabitch, cause the next time you look at MY frustration and miss the message, your just adding to the noise my friend...it's time to roll your sleeves up and get started. My work here is done.

Oh yes, I'm starting a new youtube channel, mainly so that I don't have the 15 min limit, but also because I want a clean slate...it's just that time. New directions...check out my old channel for my documentary (mentioned previously at the begining of this ramble) and the link to my new channel...which I've got lots of nifty stuff up my sleeve...I hope you'll join in...but only if you aren't one of those compassion freak love and lighters who doesn't "do" real emotions. smooches!!

Chaga and Birch Polypore

Today I harvested a nice chaga and right next to it were two very fresh and beautiful birch polypore or sometimes called shelf mushrooms...this is highly prized medicinal tree mushroom and I love these for their fragrance and beauty. I decided what a perfect opportunity to introduce people to these wonderful healers from natures medicinal cabinet. The next two people who order chaga (The larger one for the person who makes a $100 order and the smaller one for the $30 order) or three (if three people make a small order instead I will cut the larger shroom into halves) will receive a free birch polypore to try out. These are quite different from chaga in their taste, the tea is quite bitter...but it has a lot of different properties as well as many of the same, as they are both growing on the same tree...what a mushroom does, how it grows, is that the body of the mushroom is a series of root like structures that grow inside the tree and these roots take all the wonderful properties of the tree and condense them...and the mushroom is the fruit of that body with all of it's many wonderful condensed properties. I have researched both of these mushrooms (and many other medicinal tree mushrooms) quite well, but to give you an idea of the benefits of birch polypore, I have copied an article I found online with bullet points on it's main benefits. The picture of the mushrooms I took today when I returned home, they are really nice and fresh, though usually bright white underneathe, I threw them in the same bag with my chaga and they picked up the black chaga fragments a little, it's no worry, just a little bonus chaga on your birch polypore. Make a tea with the birch polypore the same way you would with a chaga mushroom, though you'll want to use small amounts in a smoothie or juice to disguise the bitter taste

Birch Polypore Used for Intestinal Parasites during Stone Ages.

Oetzi the Iceman's 5,300 Year Old Remedy Rediscovered
Summary of research on the medicinal mushroom Birch Polypore (Piptoporus betulinus). Used since the Stone Ages as an anti-parastic and antibiotic natural remedy, it was found in a pouch among the remains of Oetzi the Iceman, a mummified Stone Age man from 5,300 years ago found in a Alpine ice cave. Experts agree he used it as a remedy for intestinal parasites.

*As suggested by its name, Birch Polypore grows on birch trees, living or dead. It grows around the world wherever birch trees are found.

*Birch Polypore's main claim to fame is that it was found among the possessions of Oetzi, the mummified Stone Age man from 5,300 years ago whose remains were found in 1991 in a glacial ice cave on the border of Italy and Austria.

*The general consensus is that Oetzi the Iceman used the Birch Polypore against an infection of the intestinal parasite Trichuris trichuria, of which eggs were found among his remains. [190]

*Folk lore from Europe tells of Birch Polypore being used in this fashion, as a remedy against parasites. It has also been used as a general antibiotic, and to stop bleeding. [25]

*Two studies from 1997 found that certain Birch Polypore extracted compounds were anti-inflammatory, [192] and that they specifically helped reduce skin inflammation. [191]

*It was found effective against Bacillus megateterium, [194] and a study in 2000 found it to contain an antibiotic compound named Piptamine. [193] Paul Stamets suggests that it be studied for effectiveness against Bacillus anthracis, more commonly known as anthrax. [134]

*Another potent compound isolated from Birch Polypore is Betulinic Acid, which is produced by birch trees and then extracted and concentrated by the Birch Polypores. A study on melanoma in 1995 found that Betulinic Acid exhibited toxicity against melanoma cells while having no adverse effect on healthy cells. [195] A later study, in 2002, may have discovered the mechanism behind Betulinic Acid's cancer toxicity when it found that it inhibits certain enzymes involved in the growth and development of tumors. [196]

*In a 2001 study on the effect of Betulinic Acid derivatives on HIV, it was reported that these compounds blocked HIV replication. [197]

*A U.S. patent on a Birch Polypore extract was filed in 2004 by world leading medicinal mushroom expert Paul Stamets, after research at the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Disease (USAMRIID) and the National Institute of Health (NIH) concluded that his proprietary Birch Polypore extract was effective against vaccinia virus and cowpox, and non-toxic to human tissues.

Hey guys, I have recently uploaded all the parts of my documentary: "Ascension: a documentary by songwriter Crystal Hutchens" as a way to get you all revved up for new projects, the movie I have been working on for a long time, and other movie projects I have started working on...I've also been doing a lot of these goofy little, "sh*t people say" videos and I have mroe coming, the most recent one was "Sh*t kids say" and the one coming up next is "sh*t metaphysical eco health nuts say" ...if you use the title of this video at the top left corner to link to youtube you can watch all the rest of this documentary about my songwriting career in a small town with a new introduction about my discoveries over the last few years...I hope you will enjoy it, and I have lots more exciting stuff coming your way this year...we are going to blow up the airwaves this year and beyond...finding bigger and bigger soapboxes for the message: "Immortality in our lifetime" ...we also recently filmed a segment with Channel 2 news about our local spring that will air on local television and the interwebs in a few weeks...the behind the scenes footage will be posted shortly...feeling inspired and optimistic...stop by and catch some of the energy, it's contagious:

FB...stands for "fu**ing bullsH*T

So I am sitting here unable to reply to all the posts on my facebook page because once again some douche bag flagged a photo of me that was neither sexually explicit, not offensive in any way...it wasn't even nude! I think the problem is people are jealous, but let me tell you something...I am FED THE FUCK UP...with all the douche bags (yes that is my new favorite word) that live in internet land. My first inclination was to go delete everyone I don't know on FB. But after it took three steps per person I quit on the second one realzing there was no way I was going to make a dent in the 4000 assholes who massquerade as my "friends" in interweb world. In the first place, I don't understand why people don't just LEAVE my FB page if I post something they don't like. But nope, we live in sexually repressed ville, capital of the world where it's fine to sell sex alongside your music, your magazines, your newspapers, your films and TV...but try to make a living being beautiful and fucking forget about it. People hate you when your beautiful...and they hate that you could actually make money being incredibly sexy and talented and unique and creative and forward thinking when they are stuck sitting in a grey cubicle barely able to pay their bills. People are unhappy when they think you aren't suffering as much as they are. But trust me, I do suffer...I suffer every single day when I find shit that is so epically ridiculous, judgmental and self righteous, from people who seriously don't have a CLUE what this world is about, trying to tell ME how to live in their fucked version of reality...clogging up my email box on every single application I use online. I hate everyone today...except my kids and my lover...the people who were actually close to my actual body today...the people who actually KNOW me, who are the only people who have a right to judge me...and who accept me for who I am. The rest of the people, you can suck it. Look at me...I've become a mirror of the shit that gets flung at me DAILY. For what? For posting about my life...for sharing my hopes and dreams and visions...for trying to HELP people of all crimes against humanity. Sheesh. Yep, you won't be seeing much of me around FB anymore...I guess I can leave this relic standing like myspace ghostland. I'm starting a profile on Google+...not really sure what I will do with it, but I won't be adding a bunch of assholes that I don't know. I won't be sending out waves of positivity on FB anymore...I won't be responding to a bunch of pointless garble. I might post videos on there for a little while longer...only because they do tend to get a bunch of views from there and 2012 is the year of my financial success. I could give two shits what people think ever again...the only reason I'm going to be making videos at all is for the income it can drive into my life...I won't be answering queries that don't come with a paycheck...I won't be allowing comments on my videos anymore...I won't raise my smallest finger for a single fucking person unless there is a paycheck attached. I've gotten plenty of well meaning advice about how I am supposed to ignore the negative people and have compassion and accept everyone but NO...fuck that. You aren't living my life and you aren't assaulted by fucktards everyday so you don't have a say in how I will respond or approach my situation. So, unless your email has something to do with how you can get my paid services, don't expect a reply. I am RETIRED From being your go-to girl for all your free advice. Bye Bye FB...you won't be kicking me off your piece of shit platform for not following your "community guidlines" that I didn't break...I will be leaving you on my own...and fuck you very much. See ya on Google+ (still Crystal Hutchens) if you want to join my group of FRIENDS...if you know what that word means...the rest of you game players and promoters and networkers and childish dumbasses...fuck you very much...and I hope I never fucking hear the word Namaste again...I've never heard such a misused phrase in the mouths of the worst offenders of hate, abuse, judgment, self righteousness and hypocrits...namaste is something you say when you see a person for who they are...not something you attach to the end of a fucking superiority complexed ignorant rant. What I wish for you all in the new year is the wake up call you so desperately need...it won't be coming from me...I've got nothing left to say to anyone on this site. If you need support, start with the "BUY NOW" buttons on RACRYSTALPALACE.COM ...or CRYSTALHUTCHENS.COM ...I'll be doing personal Cam shows for $2 per minute on Skype now...the buy buttons will be on CRYSTALHUTCHENS.COM ...you'll need to pay and then discuss scheduling...price breaks start after 30 minutes and go down from there. It's cheaper than the cam site, but you do have to get blocks of time, so if you just want a few mins you still will probably want to check out the regular pay per minute site. All my healing and hypnosis services and hypnosis videos are still available. Chaga is still available. My book is available. My music is available. Writing me and getting free assistance: NO LONGER AVAILABLE. TTFN

Cam models tips

People have been contacting me a lot about my new webcam venture...they want to know how to get started mostly, or what site to use...I've messed around with a lot of sites and I still find Streammates to be the best for functionality and reliable weekly checks, the sign up was the easiest of every site I've checked out...I was up and running within 24 hours of submitting all my info...here is a response to a facebook query I received (two men in one day asked for my advice...there is a market for gay men, or playing gay, but I don't know about straight men...I think if your a man and you want to make it in the cam world you're going to be dealing with male clients). Alright. I was curious, so I checked out your live cam and sent a few bucks your way. Great job! You're quite the performer. Can you make decent $ doing that? I'm considering doing something like that myself because my grad student stipend doesn't cover nearly enough. Of course, I'm working under the pretense that this isn't necessarily too demanding and the hours are flexible. Is that accurate? I'm on my 4th week and I've got a little tiny following and the swing of it and it just keeps getting better. In my first week I made $277...that is my best so far, because I haven't put a ton of time into it, over Christmas I was being a bit of a slacker...I am going to top my sales this week...I should be looking at closer to $400...It is definitely possible to make over a hundred dollars a day (and I'm just a beginner) but you do have to put a few hours into it. The more time you spend on there, the more fans you get, the easier it is to make your money...it is 100% flexible...you choose whenever you want to get online and leave whenever you want. If you’re having a bad day you can throw in the towel and come back again the next day to hit it harder. Never let a bad day throw you, sometimes there just isn't a lot of traffic depending when you work. I already have a few regulars who visit me several times a week. I had one of my guys come back for a second session today...an hour later. That's happened more than once. You need to let them think you're available and that there is a relationship potential...they need someone to make them feel good about themselves or a little less lonley. There is definitely work involved...everyone is asking for as much as they can get for free. You can't show below the belt nudity in free chat which is a line you can always fall back on, "I would love to show you baby, but it's not allowed, you don't want me to lose my job do you? Then I couldn't see you anymore, but I would love to show you in private"… you're like a salesman though...you have to show them just enough to get them into the paid chat...I have seen a lot of women giving it all away for free...I don't know how they make a living, but I think in some cases, guys will jump into exclusive to get the woman all to themselves...they are also the director of the show once they're paying...I will do a quick kitty flash for gold, I've never gotten in trouble...they do take a huge percentage so I am trying to do external advertising to sell things like my panties and stockings and eventually DVDs. I think that's where my real money is eventually going to come from, but this is building the client base...you aren't allowed to give away personal information like websites and emails, and you especially can't promote other cam sites, but I told someone my name the other day and said I guess if you google me, I didn't give you my web address...he is supposedly going to buy my panty hose after I wear them for hima few more times, meanwhile, paying for all those times I wear them for him. It's a challenge if you have several semi interested clients, you are just trying to get anyone into paid chat...then the one who pops in there might just be in for less than a minute and you just lost everyone in the room...but more than one person can go into paid chat at a time, so sometimes that happens where you get a few guys chomping at the bit and when one takes you to private another one or two follow and get you some extra paid time. Forget the guys who say, "show me this and I'll take you private for 20 min"...they are 99% full of shit, I don't know why they think that shit works—I guess probably the newbie girls fall for it, but I never did, it just reeks of bullshite...I had the same guy delivering me the same exact line like 3 nights in a row and I said to him, am I really that forgetable, you forgot I don't fall for that shit?" He left and didn’t come back, ha ha. sometimes a little flash works to get them into private, and then sometimes just the teensiest little tease will get them too hot to handle it anymore and they will pay, or sometimes withholding for paid chat (Sorry sweety I can only show you in private and I really want you to see how wet you’re making me)...you gotta learn to read your room. These guys that come in and write novels about what they are going to do to you...I almost never respond, they almost never want paid time...they want me to interact with them and chat them up for free. Here is an example, "If we were roleplaying and you were my mommy what would be the first thing you would say?" My answer is, "roleplaying starts when we go private" because otherwise, they will just get as much out of you as they can and then leave when their satisfied—in general, if you don’t start chatting their fantasy in free chat they will leave because they aren’t there for paid chat, and you want to weed out who is looking for paid time and who is trying to basically steal your time in the guest room...you can tell when all a guy needs is dirty talk to get off, well, they need to pay for that...so the golden rule is never pay too much attention to anyone in the room...but be very nice to your regulars, try to remember their names or what they like so you can make a comment that shows you appreciate them and they mean a lot to you. The best is getting people to sign up through your site...then you get an extra 40% on top of the 35% you are already getting...then you not only get 75% of any time they spend with you, but also 20% of any time they spend with anyone else in the entire system. Also gold shows are good...its another functionality of the site that allows you to advertise and tease for a show and take a small fee from several people then perform for a specified amount of time...it's a win/win especially when you have a lot of fans...I've seen some of these girls who have been doing it for a while, they are doing shows for 10 minutes or less for $250. You set a goal amount and if you don't reach that goal you can choose to cancel your show and start the counter again or just take the gold that was offered and do the show...if I'm having a slow night I'll do a cheap gold show, and I'll be making long term fans that way as well. Different sites vary a little on the details, there are pluses and minuses to each site...I am signed up to another site that has 10 times the traffic, but hardly anyone pays for private time or tips, because the whole site is functional without them paying, whereas on my site, they can't do a cam 2 cam (lots of guys want you to see THEM) unless they are in paid chat...whereas, members of myfreecams can show you themselves without paying for anything, so you get all these stupid messages like, "hey baby, wanna see me strokin it?" I dont bother to respond, the only good thing about that site is that you can promote anything and give away your personal information, so it's worth it to me to spend 20-40 mins doing a little teasing for these guys and let them have my actual website address, where I will hopefully eventually get their business on my other site, or sell them some product. Well I hope this has been helpful…I think the most important tip I can give is to stick with it, because it is very slow to get started…yes the website is advertising you on many sites at once, but guys tend to be loyal to the girls they like so the girls (or guys) who have been doing it for a long time have a big following. Just keep your nose to the grindstone for a while as you build up interest. Once you have someone in private, do everything you said you would, follow their instructions and please them to the best of your ability because getting a high rating will improve business as well. You start out with 4 stars, but with enough 5 star ratings, your rating goes up. Write about everything you offer in your description section…the more you are willing to do, the more potential customers you will have. There is also potential to make money in your guest room…guys come in all the time and say, “show me your tits!” My response is, “show me some gold!” …anytime someone starts a sentence with “show me…” I respond with, “show me the gold!” …I have never had a single client who promised to take me private if I showed him something follow through. At best, they will beg and ply you with promosies…at worst they will really have you believing them, this guy had me convinced last night we were going private…but within a couple minutes I realized it had all been a set-up…he pretended to live in my same town and offered to pay me a lot to meet in person…my response to that is always, “I need to get to know you in private first” …but I also have a photo shoot option on my website…he had told me, “I just submitted a request for a photo shoot” but there is no such thing as submitting a request, so I knew he was lying and his next query was for me to suck on my finger…I said, “I’ve been very accommodating to you and we still haven’t gone private like you promised,” and with that he left…I hate it when I get taken on a ride, so I tend to keep my interaction with everyone very general, no gold, no goodies…and spread your attention around the room, because you never know who your next private is going to be…it’s usually the quiet one who either doesn’t ask for anything, or asks a couple of very pointed questions to make sure they will get what they need from you in private…anyone trying to occupy your time like your new best buddy is wasting your attention…I make a point to blatantly ignore those people…throwing out a “If you want my attention you can get it in private” every so often…a lot of times guys say they will be right back for a private show…I find it’s about 50/50 with these guys…so you never know. Every chance you get, give a great no holds barred show, and keep your regulars happy, they ARE your bread and butter.

Adventures of a webcamming newbie

When I unexpectedly lost my job a month before Christmas, I had no money saved, was living paycheck to paycheck, and suddenly found myself in a world of desperation...bills on the horizon, that nights tips had been expected for grocery money and I was instantly LOST! I cried out to my youtube supporters for donations and purchases from my online store (donations always receive very nice hypnosis video links), such as chaga, my ebook, consultations, personal hypnosis videos and anything else I have on offer that would be supportive. I was underwhelmed by the response. People write to me almost daily to rave about how much I impact their lives, how they love to start their day with my inspirational and informative videos about everyone's life questions. But when it comes to giving back, most people are stingy and selfish, in my opinion. We have become milkfed to desire cheap, worthless crap, and never really put our money where it's needed...on working on our spirit and supporting the people who are helping us to do that. There are a lot of topline teachers right now giving away their many services for free on youtube...myself, I am inundated with constant requests for information via youtube, facebook, my contact form on my website...always begining with something like, "you are exactly the person I have been looking for to answer my questions" and dare so much as mention a consultation fee and you are often insulted as being "in it for the money." These kinds of comments are common, "I didn't know you were in it for the money, I believe spiritual information should be shared freely." or the most hilarious, "If I had all your wisdom I would spend ALL my time helping others for free." Ya right...and who is going to take care of your family? I have two babays to feed and clothe and spoil my peeps. So I took the advice of a friend and decided to check out webcam modeling. As I was getting started, the days passed and more and more chaga and hypnosis orders came in...I got a couple of generous donations and enough book sales to realize I would be OK if I just took a couple days to stop job hunting for a job I didn't want and seriously think about what I wanted to do, which the bottom line was, I wanted to stay home and not have to ever think about childcare again! And I wanted to make plenty of money so as to not have to stress or worry about paying bills anymore, or what I could or could not afford at the grocery store. My friend told me a little about his adventures as a gay webcam model, gave me the web address to get started, and supported me by answering all my questions and giving me tips. You would think it would be so simple, dress up sexy, turn on the camera, and wait for the cash to start rolling in. Turns out it's a lot more like poker! Which is fine, I like poker, but there is a lot of bargaining involved, a lot of "wheeling and dealing" (lucky I got that salesmanship gene from daddy, I can talk most people into buying anything I believe in, and luckily I do happen to believe in myself." The great part is, once you win a hand (talk someone into going in the paid private room) you set your price and you're making a percentage of every minute. I set my price at 1.99 to start, but within a month I decided to move it up to 2.99 and I haven't noticed a decline, it seems to help actually. I think if you put a higher value on your show, so will others...people know they get what they pay for so if they want the good stuff they are willing to pay a little more. I did an experiment one night where I brought my price down to .99 a minute for a couple hours and not a single person bought time with me. I think a low price just screams, "worthless!!" so don't be afraid to set a reasonable price if you decided to try this. If you give a good show, you rack up five star ratings, and you'll move your rating up (it starts at 4 stars, but I finally broke five starts yesterday with enough five star ratings after hovering at 4.5 for the last few weeks). I've been asked to do lots of strange things...suck on my toes, pee in a glass, stuff a sock in my nether regions...but mostly it's just lonely guys, many of whom are very attractive (they get to choose if you see them or not so there are many you never see) who just want to spend some sensual time with a pretty girl. It's all about putting on a positive attitude, owning your beauty and your sexual prowess, and then stirring them into a frenzy till they can't stand it anymore, they've just GOT to see the rest of you...or be able to tell you what to do. I never spend a lot of time taking orders from quests...they will say all kinds of silly shite like, "pull your panties down and I promise I'll take you private 20 minutes." If you fall for that you WERE born yesterday. But a little perfectly timed flash can do the trick now and again...I tend to stick with the adage, "why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free" but there are guys who need to know you have a certain quality that they want to pay for (do you have big nipples? are you shaved or hairy? Can I see your behind? I like a big booty...ect)...it helps to keep moving around, show them plenty without showing them all so that they are desperate to see the rest. I'm getting in great shape, dancing, stretching, showing off my flexibility...it can be fun and a workout. But it's not all fun and games...the worst is when you have a room full of guys in the guest (unpaid) room al bargaining for a show, and then some yahoo takes you into private for 30 seconds and you don't make any money and then you just lost everyone in the guest room. Private happens automatically if the guest decided to click that button...they have 30 seconds before they start getting charged. Some A**holes will use that loophole to get a sneak peek and not pay for anything. In fact, I think there is a small army that goes around preying on private sessions, popping in to get a sneak peek and then popping out. You're probably looking at one of these losers if they pop into guest and don't say anything. I don't want to humor these jerks at all, but I don't want to jip a paying customer either, so I try to take everything off as quickly as possible, unless they ask for something specific like strip tease, then if they aren't saying anything, I'm waiting for that 30 seconds to get to anything of value...waste my time and I'll waste yours. Aside from those situations, it's a pretty nice little deal. In general, the guys are respectfull, complimentary, of course there are fetishes and they need to know if I can accomodate them or not. I try to accomodate everything within reason. No, I'm not going to drink my own pee...sorry. Not reasonable...roleplay, a little wacko and a little out there? Sure...hopefully I just prevented some real life lady from getting the brunt of your weird perversion...it's all safe in fantasy land. In only a month I already have a lot of regulars. I'm definitely not making a killing, I'm not even making as much as I was waitressing, but I never have to leave the house if I don't want to, and check comes in the mail every week. I can see how over time I will continue to gather a following and happy regulars who know they get what they pay for. I'm going to be using one site that allows you to give out personal information for external advertising...because everyone I bring in under my webcam page that joins as a member, I receive the regular percentage PLUS 40% on top...and even if they go spend money with other ladies, I receive 20% of all those earnings. There's also something called gold shows, so that when you build up a following, you can charge a fee per person, have a minimum bid and a minimum goal before you start your show, and then you get to entertain multiple recipients for a larger fee because everyone pitching in a little adds up, it's a win/win. I haven't been able to pull it off yet because my fan club isn't big enough, but I see other ladies doing really good with that function...and I see that with my nose to the grindstone, and my commitment to growing my audience, just like with any of my other offerings, this could eventually be a goldmine. And I'm having fun all the while...I have a little side business ready to go as my audience builds...one youtube fan was so moved by my plea for support, and my sharing of my new webcam venture, he sent me his top of the line Sony HD cam that he had purchased a couple years ago and ended up collecting dust...so there are more perks than just cash...and I'll be using that nice little addition to my tool box to make amatuer adult vids (just solo mind you!) as well as selling the undergarments and stockings I've worn in my show. Some of these updates are already available on my website, so I encourage you to stop by and check out the new goings on. Don't worry, I'm still doing all my inspirational work, harvesting wild alaskan chaga for you, and making you the finest intuitive hypnosis videos. I'm getting so much great feedback from my hypno vids from people are trying them and getting excellent forward momentum. That is still a huge part of my life as well as sharing the message of "immortality in our lifetime"...but as I have said when some of the backlash came from former youtube supporters questioning my ethics and morality...we have GOT to realize how intrinsically tied our sexuality is to our spirituality. Repression is not serving us as a society. We've been brainwashed to believe (and quite effectively!) that sex is a vile, filthy thing, or worse, a SACRED act, only to be shared in marriage (a make believe piece of paper invented by religion itself for promoting shame)...it has now become my mission to expose the beautiful acceptance of our sexual nature, and how important that part of our being is to our spiritual self. In fact, I feel that I am responsibly exchanging positive spritual energy with everyone who decides to enter my private room and share intimate time with me. Ever wanted to enjoy a beautiful, intelligent, sexually charged woman in the prime of her life rather than some ditzy fake breasted blonde bimbo who couldn't care less about the experience she is sharing with you? Well now is your change...I'm a real girl...and I'm not afraid to show it. Visit my website for more details on my new venture...and happy holidays everyone...I turned 38 on Christmas, and I feel the best I ever have in my life...in charge...my own boss...and sharing the joy of bliss will all who will come ;) http://www.crystalhutchens.com

The Law of the Subconscious

So you've heard about "The Secret" and the "Law of Attraction" but it's not working. Sure it is! It's working perfectly. The proof is in your life. Whatever you believe becomes your experience. The negative people you attract into your experience, the bills you keep coming up short for, your flailing health and love life: all products of your subconscious tape recording.
The problem most people experience when they first learn about the Law of Attraction is that they try to change their conscious thinking. You can spend every moment of every day repeating over and over in your mind, "I'm an abundant person" and still the experience you are having is that of poverty consciousness. Trying to change the conscious mind is on par with talking to a tape recording that is playing back and expecting it to record what you are saying. But you haven't pressed the record button so your attempt to change your life by changing your thoughts is literally futile.
What can you do? You have to learn how to press the record button before submitting the changes you would like to see in your external world. Your reality is literally a reflection of what thoughts are playing back. You are very likely not even aware of what your subconscious thoughts are. They were recorded into your subconscious between the ages of 0 and 5-ish when your brain was in a constant state of having the record button on. That state is called the Alpha state which is like a daydream but with mental capacities and awareness. During this state, everything you hear is recorded and stored in that part of your mind that literally creates your reality.
Normal waking consciousness, which is known as the Beta state, is not even entered until the age of 5 or so. Because of this, everything you were told as a child is stored there and creating the life you have now. Many people who are not happy with their current circumstances were told they were worthless or this was expressed through neglect or sometimes abuse. Probably many of us also heard that money was hard to come by and you have to work hard to get it or that true love only happens in fairytales. Whatever the issue is that you want to change, there is a negative thought stored in the subconscious that is the culprit. Most people can not develop self confidence because they cannot develop self love. We can't accept ourselves because we were told our behaviors were unacceptable.
The good news is, you can chance your subconscious tape recording and you can change your life! In the subconscious, all things are possible. Your health, your outer world and what you attract is all being created there. All you have to do is push the record button and set your intentions and your life will begin to transform.
Here's where I come in. When I work with a client, I first do an energetic scan of the body and find out where the person is block. I then use a light hypnotic suggestion to relax them into a state where I can reset the subconscious tape recordings.
A recent client came to me with a lack of direction. He wanted assistance figuring out what he should do next in his life. During the body scan I found a block in his hip. I asked if there was pain there he said recently a lot of pain had been coming and going for no explainable reason. The hip is related to a lack of ability to move forward or nothing to move forward to. Every part of the body is related to an outer world expression. For example, liver problems represent anger at the father. Most people have anger at one or both parents and this has to be resolved to get forward momentum.
We discussed the possibility of not needing to know what was coming up next and we set the intention for having clarity at all times and choosing to live in the now instead of the future. His fear of the future has resolved. No more hip troubles.
Many people want to lose weight or get healthy but their eating habits are related to stored subconscious patterns. Almost everyone in America can benefit from releasing unhealthy eating habits. I empower my clients who want to set health intentions with raw food classes. Eating healthy raises your personal vibration and also makes it easier to set and hold positive intentions. My own intuition and ability to assist others has increased greatly from adopting an earth loving, living food diet.

Love Speaks - Organization

Right now the mind is categorizing more things than you can imagine, from a perceptive point of view that has been in place since you were a small child. There is no tone of voice in the written word, yet you the reader will be applying tones and stressing sylables, as certain words and phrases appeal to you in ways you actually don't even understand or realize is happening. One of the reasons energy realignment for a planet your age is so stressful at this time, is because these long held perceptions, which for now we will refer to as the "ego brainwashing" are breaking down. And since it's all you remember knowing for as far back as your current memory dares to wander, a lot of fear surrounds the release of it. We ask you at this time to simply tap into the vast storages of faith readily available to you from your heart space, and trust that everything is working out perfectly and that it is perfectly OK for you to let go and allow this process to happen. Many people on Earth have already moved through this process of the illusion of reality crumbling before their eyes, as the dawning of the truth has been planted here in the collective conscious held by many visionaries for a really long time. This simple fact is going to make it easier and easier for others to follow, much in the same way that a path through the jungle is made by tromping over it again and again. We are asking you to spend time each day getting quiet and reflecting on the abundance of trust available to you and this simple act alone will create the space needed for the unraveling of the brain's current organizational methods. You'll find that when you free up the space spontaneous ideas that bring more joy and peace into your life simply arrive magically from the void where thought is created, and yes of course you can pat yourself on the back for being such a creative genius (cosmic humor) as these ideas arrive and you act on them and watch the magic unfold. Spend as much time in nature as you can with your bare feet on the ground, the earth will take off the excess charged energy from your body, relieving stress and replacing it with calm grounding energy. As more and more fear comes up to be looked at and resolved, more and more conspiracy theories will arise and ripple out, the conscious and subconscious mind will be bringing the nitty gritty dirt of lifetimes to the surface to simply faze itself out. You can stop seeking for external abundance and start recognizing the internal limitless energy that inspires the spirit to move into an organic body and "do the dance" of living. The quickening of the energy and information exponentiation will continue to ebb and flow with it's unacknowledged patterns of expression as the remembering unfolds and expands, expands expands...all desires are being attracted to reveal their true nature and the heart is opening and seeing that real and abundant everlasting love is already all that is happening, like a clever never ending firework display, each moment new and colorful in it's brilliant way as the orgasm of the Universe moves it's heavenly fingers through Earth atmosphere, your species in Earths womb is so close to birth, the awakening of rememberance from which it projected itself into this expression...in other words, relax into the labor pains and marvel at the process...you are being born.

Love Speaks

Love gave me the nudge today...to start channeling again...it feels like much more is coming...stay tuned:

When you are looking out from the light, you are the light…it’s easy to see how the light created everything, and how light itself became from the void that always existed…but then you want to see what it’s like to be beneath the light, the light streaming down on you from above, the warmth of it, the sheer brilliance of it, and for this you needed a concentrated point of awareness and something tangible to sense it with, and so you created the body you find yourself in now, from the template of the ever present Universal mind you drew forth all of your collected experiences and grew a “learning device” around yourself. Isn’t it amazing? Yes indeed.
From your vantage point it’s not always so easy to appreciate just how incredible is the experience you are having. Your ego often takes over and quite convincingly pretends to be in charge of everything. You’ve collected then, also all the attributes of the many bodies that have used this functionality to perceive all the different things they have chosen to perceive, and like a sieve, you are subject to all of it as it is shuffled around collectively, quite unwittingly, in fact most of the time.
From your confusion of your circumstances, the mind seems like quite an unusual thing and hardly anyone around you has any sense of how to use it properly. Most go on about their day experiencing everything with the mistaken concept that it has nothing to do with themselves, not owning the idea they are actually creating every bit of it. The mind itself is the actual key to all experience, thus it would prove fruitful for anyone wishing to change their circumstances to become aware of the way that the mind works. Right now you are being “given” information through a fellow mind, but this communication is actually available for you yourself to have at any time. The difficulty for most people is a flaw in what is termed belief. For one thing, you must actually have a belief in something in order to experience it. When you are capable of cultivating beliefs like that, then you will start to understand where your power actually comes from. Since remembering how to believe is the first step, let’s start with something small. Pick a thing that seems inconsequential that will also be easy for you to believe such as, “the next person I see is going to smile at me” or anything random that suits you that you can cultivate a belief in. Then just watch it to unfold. Allow the mesmerization that may come to envelope you like a warm flood of joyful good news. It IS good news. The Universe actually does respond to what you believe. Now that You know it’s true (and if you think your happening was a coincidence try a few more ways of proving it to yourself until you cultivate a fairly unshakable faith that your mind is having a true effect on your tangible reality when true faith is involved) it’s time to take inventory of your thinking. Where are your thoughts hovering? What is the most prominent thing on your mind any time you check in with yourself? And if you are taking an honest inventory, and really noticing where your thoughts are, you’ll see how you are creating all the things you don’t want that arrive in your experience. You ARE in charge and you CAN change how your thinking, in fact it’s really the only thing you can change. Before you get ready for upper level experiences, like manifesting out of “thin air” you’ll need to take the action steps that cultivate your belief system. This can be done quite easily by relaxing the mind and stating in the present tense, that which you mean to experience, for example, “I am very abundant and have everything I need at all times.” For almost everyone, this is already true, most people just aren’t aware of how to perceive their abundance and therefore understand it more clearly which actually nourishes it’s growth. For today let’s simply practice believing that we are indeed in charge. Today’s mantra will be, “I now easily believe that I am creating my reality.”

A list I put together for a class is a bonus for you...raw food top tips

Navigating the Raw Food Lifestyle

As a raw foodist for several years now, it is kind of annoying how much misinformation is out there. In the beginning I spent a lot of time sifting through websites educating myself and learning things by trial and error. Many don’t realize how many people are in the raw foods movement just to make money and they will tell you anything to sell their product. There isn’t anyone regulating the term “raw” so any company can slap it on their product despite having cooked ingredients in it. If you want the full effects that come from living a clean eating lifestyle, including a heightened sense of awareness and a closer connection to Source (intuition) there is a lot to learn. In the beginning stages of raw, your body is going through a lot of detox. It can be uncomfortable and gourmet raw foods with lots of fats make this process more tolerable. But eventually as your body gets more and more clean you will notice that your body doesn’t do well with a lot of fat or with crazy food combinations. You have to listen to your body and notice when it is not tolerating certain foods so that you can remove them from your diet. There is not a single guru out there who can prescribe the perfect diet for you. Only you can learn to listen to your body and feed yourself your own perfect diet. Eventually you will want to water fast for the most optimum deep cleansing possible. Toxins are stored in fat and when you fast your body goes into ketosis which means it uses fat for fuel. This is when a lot of toxicity can be released. But that is much later in the game. If you’re just starting out on raw there are a few things that are helpful to know. I’ve put together a list to help get you started.

Raw Food Top Tips

*The first thing every raw food initiate should know about is detox! Detox is a defense mechanism of the body; it’s how you are able to get rid of toxins that are reducing the effectiveness of your cells. In actuality your body is detoxing as much as it can all the time, but it’s difficult when it’s bogged down with mucus and toxins. The reason most people wake up feeling sluggish in the morning is because their body has gone into a state of detox and their first morning efforts are to shut it down by drinking coffee or eating sugary or greasy foods. When your body is getting a constant array of fresh, water dense foods, it’s going to stop making the mucus that it uses to digest cooked food. This is going to free up a lot of energy in the body to put towards cleansing. It’s not what you eat that makes a raw food diet healing, it’s what you don’t eat. When the body is no longer bogged down with chemicals and processed cooked foods, it’s going to kick out all the toxins that are stored mainly in fat cells. The body works from the inside out to heal so organs are first on it’s list. If you have back problems, keep in mind you WILL heal, but the muscular system is low on the body’s list of priorities as far as healing goes so that will come later down the path. Detox symptoms can range from mild to extreme depending on your past eating habits, any drugs (prescription or street) you’ve taken, your emotional life ect. Emotions are strongly tied to toxins because we often use food to bury our emotions and when the toxins come up so do the emotions. Be prepared for headaches, nausea, acne, odd skin irritations, anger, sorrow, guilt…all these things need to come to the surface and be released. The body may choose and possible way out to get rid of toxins so the skin is often just as viable a choice as the digestive system, depending where your toxins are stored. Just know that it’s a good thing that you are temporarily feeling lousy because on the other side is a more vibrant, healthy, happy and energetic you. Allow those stored emotions to flow and bless the toxins as they go. The initial intense detox can last a few days or a few weeks, but over time you may run into detox issues again especially if you keep lightening your diet as you go. Many people blame the food and say eating raw doesn’t work for them. Raw Living can work for anyone who puts in the effort to get past the detox and discover the foods that are easiest for your personal body to digest. Every body is unique.

*Be careful if you buy prepackaged raw foods. A lot of people will try to make a buck using cheap ingredients or ingredients that aren’t raw. Read labels carefully. Here are some common ingredients that are NOT raw. If you aren’t sure, contact the company: agave (is not only cooked but is worse than corn syrup as far as sweeteners go), nama shoyu (often used as a soy sauce substitute because it isn‘t pasteurized, it is made with cooked soybeans so it is not raw--try coconut aminos, which are raw and make a much better soy sauce substitute) Braggs, any kind of yeast, some common nuts that are used are often not raw, usually cashews, and almonds. Cashews are flash cooked to destroy a toxic substance in the shell. It costs a lot more in labor to carefully hand shell each nut so there are only a few truly raw cashew brands on the market. Most almonds are pasteurized by law in California. To get raw almonds you need to find independent growers and contact them directly. A good source for truly raw nuts is the online store Raw Food World.

*Nuts should be soaked in water for at least two hours to remove the enzyme inhibitors and the water you soaked them in should be drained, not used in the recipe. Allowing nuts and seeds to sprout overnight is even better. It’s very easy to sprout things like sunflower seeds which brings them to life and makes their nutrients more bioavailable. If you are using them to make a nut cheese you should use a probiotic if possible to make them easier to digest.

*Food combining is important. Nuts should always be eaten with greens or with green juice for good digestion. Soft juicy fruits that digest fast due to high water content such as melon or papaya should be eaten alone so they don’t get caught in the digestive tract with a bunch of slow digesting foods where they will ferment. You should try to avoid eating fats with sugar as it will feed candida.

*Raw dairy is an ethical issue even more than a health issue. Our bodies are not made to digest the milk of other animals so it is a health issue, but many people don’t realize that a cow has to be impregnated to give milk and their baby cows are taken from them so that humans can have the milk. Those babies are often raised as veal cows, kept in a tiny crate and never allowed to move their muscles their entire lives to make their meat super tender, so dairy also contributes to the meat industry by default. Also, after their short life in hell as dairy cows they are most often sent to become hamburger. If you are a vegetarian for ethical reasons, then eating dairy is contradictory to the belief you claim to promote. Imagine how you would feel if your baby was stolen from you so that your milk could be taken for someone else. Colostrum is the first milk a mother gives that sets up her babies immune system for life. How can a person actually believe that it is somehow OK to steal the colostrum for themselves on some purported idea of achieving superior health? Companies like “Sartorial” that promote how healthy it is to take colostrum are unethical and I urge you not to support them.

*Many fruits and vegetables on the market are hybridized and genetically modified. These foods are not as easy for our body to digest because they aren’t made by nature. For example, carrots are a cross between two plants and never existed in nature before humans got involved. Also, all the corn on the market now is not as it was first found in nature. Broccoli, also manipulated by humans. Bananas don’t even have viable seeds. That means you can’t plant a banana and grow a banana tree. The strain of bananas that is on the market was bred to condense the sugars. I personally cannot tolerate them. My skin breaks out if I eat just one banana. There are many varieties of bananas and they are all amazing, but hybridized bananas that can’t grow when planted are one of many of what I call “Franken-fruit.” Oranges and apples are also bred in a way for extra sweetness and fewer seeds. Even the papayas on the market are generally gmo (genetically modified). In fact it’s difficult to find foods in the market that aren’t tampered with by humans. Just try to eat hybridized and gmo foods in moderation and in small portions. Most greens and herbs are still close to how they were first found. Try to get heirloom varietals and wild foods in your area. Growing your own from heirloom seeds is always the next best to harvesting wild foods in nature.

*Organic is really important. If you want the best food possible you should grow it yourself to insure the land is cared for with love and you aren’t using demineralized soil, but of course this isn’t always possible. The next best choice is organic because organic farmers tend to have more integrity and care more for the land. But foremost, no amount of poison (pesticides, fungicides, larvacides) is tolerable to the body. Use common sense; how could something invented to destroy life forms, even tiny ones, be healthy for a living body? The point behind raw food is to give your body the best health possible so that it can heal and detox from years of toxins. How can you detox when you keep adding toxins to the mix? Organic does cost a little more, but you are what you eat and you tell the Universe what you are worth by what you give yourself? Are you worth a bunch of cheap toxic crap, or are you worth the best that is available to you? Make your priority the best food you can find. Most people skimp on food so that they can acquire more things, but you only have one body and you won’t find any worth in a bunch of material objects if you don’t have a healthy body.

*Water is possibly the most important part of a healthy diet since our bodies are mostly water and water is a conscious entity. I drink only spring water that I collect in glass. Water from the tap is polluted with chlorine, fluoride, pesticides, prescription drugs and worst of all wood pulp (toilet paper!). Also, if you buy spring water in plastic bottles it leaches the biphenyl A from the plastic into your water. BPA is a hormone disrupter. You can locate a spring near you on a website called: Findaspring.com. It’s one thing Daniel Vitalis is doing right by promoting spring water. I tell all my clients that if they can do only one thing to improve their health it should be finding a good water source. Even water filters do not get all the junk out of the tap water, and even if they did, tap water is “angry” water because it is forced in through a piping system that rearranges the structure of the water. Spring water is intelligent, clean water. It defies gravity by moving upward through the ground and filtering out contaminates. It is a great adventure to harvest your own spring water from nature on a regular basis.

*Oils separated from their source (olive oil, coconut oil ect) are not part of a healthy diet. If you pay close attention to how you feel when you eat certain foods, you’ll notice that oils are the most difficult to digest and take a lot of energy as well as coating your cells in fat which making sugars harder to digest. They can be the cause of aggravated skin (acne) and fatigue as well as contributing greatly to candida. Notice if you feel tired or ill after eating a lot of oil. It taxes your liver incredibly as the liver is forced to dump a bunch of bile to process the fat. If you are following your body’s desire to lighten up, you will find that oils should be the first to go after your initial transition and detoxing has passed. You can modify any recipe that includes oil and don’t fall for the advertising campaigns that suggest you need these “healthy” fats. You get plenty of fats without adding oils where they aren’t needed.

*Exercise is often missing in people’s “diet” regimen. Oxygen is an important element of a healthy diet and we don’t get enough sitting around indoors. When we exercise oxygen is forced through our blood and lymphatic system. If the lymphatic system is stagnant, dis-ease can develop. We need that oxygen pumping through our system for many of the bodily processes incurred by digestion.

*Some people claim that if you eat a healthy raw food diet you don’t need to supplement vitamins, but we are eating a lot of hybridized and gmo foods that have been grown in depleted soils. We aren’t getting anywhere near the nutrients we need in our food…plus years of eating a poor diet has depleted our own storage system. I believe that we are meant to live without food and the process of eating breaks down the vitamins and minerals our bodies would naturally make if we weren’t constantly depleting them. It’s why certain vitamins are recommended to take together: they work in conjunction with each other because they burn each other out. B12 is the most common vitamin missing from a vegan diet but it is often low in omnivores as well. Taking a good raw multi-vitamin (I like the vitamin code line) as well as enzymes and probiotics for digestion should round out a well balanced diet. It’s true that the enzymes are intact if you don’t cook the food, but the way many people combine foods makes it more difficult for digestion and any strain you can take off the body is a positive addition to your health protocol. We have a finite enzyme storage when we’re born and the less your body has to draw from it’s own storage the better. In fact, many people have been brought to the raw food lifestyle because they are experiencing health issues and this can be an indicator that you’ve burnt out your enzyme storage.

As I mentioned, I believe that we are meant to live without food. There are many practicing breatharians living on the planet already. I’ve even had the pleasure of having a consultation with Genesis Sunfire who doesn’t eat or drink at all. There are even many more liquidarians. If you have been called to raw foods, it’s highly likely that you are on the evolutionary path to eating less and less dense food until you will eventually get back to the natural state of living on prana. I’ve outlined my theories and my life story up to this point of my evolution in my book “Why we Die and How we Can Stop” available on my website RACrystalPalace.com. I also offer a spiritual advice vlog on you tube called “Ask a Crystal Child” where you can submit your personal questions and I will answer via video. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve humanity during this time of planetary transition. Cheers to your health and good luck on your journey.

What's new you ask?

Sorry I haven’t updated my blog in so long. First of all, my internet connection has been too slow to do anything of merit for a really long time. In order to upload videos I have to go to local internet café and that is where I do most of my blogging, or vlogging as it were, on you tube. I have a small but loyal fan base who come to watch “Ask a Crystal Child” a kind of advice column for our current times of spiritual energy transition. Lots of people wonder what is going to happen in 2012, among many other daily life questions, but people don’t realize how easy it is to tap into Source “knowing” by cleaning up your diet which cleans up your own energy field and your channel so to speak. As part of my life’s work, the discovery between the endocrine system, the thyroid and pituitary and how it’s related to psychosis and enlightenment has been added to my book “Why We Die And How We Can Stop.” I was attempting to write a new book all about it, when I realized I had already put some of the info in my current book and the new info slid right in contextually with minor changes. At that time I realized there had been quite a few typos and in one case, a full missing paragraph (or more) that left out a huge piece of my history by mistake so I rewrote some lines as well for congruency. Originally my idea was to make it a beautiful full color photo book, but with the application I used to publish it online, it meant a much higher cost per page for color and I made the print a little bit small to condense the length. A couple people complained about the typeface size being a challenge to read and in my opinion, the pictures didn’t come out nearly as beautiful as they are so it seems kind of a waste of money so I took the pictures out so I could make the print larger and reduce the cost. I prefer to sell the e-book as I make more per copy and it doesn’t waste paper, but I know how nice it is to just have an actual copy of a book sometimes and some people want that so I have made it available but because of the application I have to charge at least the amount they charge to make each copy and a couple bucks for me for putting it out there. If you order the ebook you’ll get it within a day or two and it’s much cheaper than the hardcopy. Also, even though I spent a lot of time and money on my album, I keep it at a low price because I know people don’t like to pay a lot for music and I want my music to get to the people who want it. You can listen to the songs on myspace to see if you like them before you buy it. In case you are wondering, I’m still planning to finish my movie “Aurora Dementian” which is about half filmed, it’s just taking a lot longer than I expected to find the people I need to help me. I’m putting together a program called “Sunday Night Lights” for those of you in Anchorage, a four week course that will meet each Sunday, for initiating new thought patterns and a connection to your Divine Source, an awakening program for the new Earth. Stay tuned for more details. It's best if you add me on facebook if you want to stay up to date and I also post there almost daily. It's not a journal obviously but quick updates and inspiration as well as my videos and photography. I’m still doing healing work/energy sessions and I now incorporate hypnosis. Part of my new program will be to educate on the power of self-hypnosis for making forward momentum. When I get a better internet connection, I can also do these sessions via skype. Talk to ya laters.

Left ya hanging

I apologize to the people who just follow the blog...I tend to leave you hanging...I do a lot more on facebook and youtube...I get the crazy hair to write once in a while...I ended up fasting for 7 days...all the videos are on Youtube:

http://www.youtube.com/user/Bananimalrecords (copy and paste in your browser)


I am back to enjoying food and being less serious about it. I'm more focused on my emotional body at the moment as my big wake-up call from the fast has been on the need to learn self-love, self-forgiveness and forgiveness of others, and accepting and approving of myself and this reality experience. I do find that eating high vibration live organic food and juice makes it SO much easier to appreciate yourself and be grateful for all your gifts. I've been experimenting in the food world and the opposite is true for nutrient lacking, dense, dead food. I indulged a bunch of cravings and found myself crying for no reason, depressed and lethargic. If your going to eat cooked food at least join it to a fresh squeezed juice to counter balance the effects!
I highly reccomend the movie "You Can Heal Your Life" with Louise Hay...I've been doing daily affirmations and learning to change my thinking and my mood has improved drastically.

I'm actively back to work on my movie, I'm working on writing som positive affirmation songs that could be made into an album so other people can sing along...the inspired idea was, hey, how many times have you had a stupid song stuck in your head and never connected the fact that your thoughts create your mood and your experience? So I am actively working to create my mood and my experience...and I'm seeing myself winning the lottery (or the lottery of life, however the Universe wants to make that affirmation real) and it's so close I can smell, see and taste my financial freedom.

Go look in the mirror and tell that beautiful self how much you love you...and I love you too ;)
