Although it seems pleasant to notice the beauty that surrounds us, gratitude has an even greater impact; it influences all parts of us—our mind, our body, and our spirit. ***"Appreciation is a wonderful thing—it makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well."*** As the philosopher Voltaire once wisely stated, "Appreciation is a wonderful thing--it causes what is excellent in others to also belong to us." Appreciation consists not only of having a pleasant thought or displaying good manners; it is, in fact, a genuine and active force which can affect our lives. If we deliberately practice appreciation, we can gently alter our reality, increase our awareness, and feel more connected to everything around us. The object of this guide is to simplify and make it useful. In the way that modern science corresponds with ancient spiritual wisdom, we can turn general ideas into small daily habits that will help you feel better and guide your life. ## 🌊 The Beautiful Invisible Ripple Effects of Gratitude ![The Resonant Oscillator, Quantum Alchemy, Science And Metaphysics, Power Of Appreciation, Heart-Brain Coherence, Cellular Healing, Spiritual Awakening, Mind-Body Connection ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/86/a9862374-543c-42af-8505-5a68b825ae14/content/images/2026/08/data-src-image-e3037352-a8c5-4a96-94d1-d0079d5d879f.jpeg "The Resonant Oscillator") The Resonant Oscillator When we notice the good in other people—for example, their kindness or creativity—we are not merely observing. The act of appreciating generates a positive energy that benefits both ourselves and the people we notice. Since the heart is the most powerful source of energy in our body, genuinely appreciating something helps us feel more in touch with ourselves. Science is now arriving at this metaphysical reality: when we consciously foster appreciation, our heart rhythm changes, becoming highly ordered, smooth, and coherent. This smooth signal then travels directly up the vagus nerve, the information superhighway of your nervous system, and informs the emotional center of your brain that you are entirely safe. ![The Brain-Heart Vagocutaneous Loop Diagram, Quantum Alchemy, Science And Metaphysics, Power Of Appreciation, Heart-Brain Coherence, Cellular Healing, Spiritual Awakening, Mind-Body Connection ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/86/a9862374-543c-42af-8505-5a68b825ae14/content/images/2026/08/data-src-image-23636a4f-ca56-4a7c-94fd-b329f93bf27a.jpeg "The Brain-Heart Vagocutaneous Loop Diagram") The Brain-Heart Vagocutaneous Loop Diagram The change in your body helps reduce stress, calm the mind, and signal to your brain that it can relax and think clearly. Scientists refer to this state as coherence, while from a spiritual perspective, it simply means feeling balanced and connected. ## 🧠 How a Calm Nerve Opens a Spiritual Gateway ![The Luminescent Axis, Quantum Alchemy, Science And Metaphysics, Power Of Appreciation, Heart-Brain Coherence, Cellular Healing, Spiritual Awakening, Mind-Body Connection ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/86/a9862374-543c-42af-8505-5a68b825ae14/content/images/2026/08/data-src-image-d6b9b543-1c99-4d15-9b59-037b3000498f.jpeg "The Luminescent Axis") The Luminescent Axis You may be wondering how a physical nerve impulse can lead to increased spiritual awareness. The reason is that the structure of our physical body corresponds to that of our spiritual energy centers. According to ancient beliefs, the body contains energy channels known as nadis and energy centers known as chakras. These are not merely theoretical concepts; they lie in the same regions as our major nerve bundles and hormone glands. The main energy routes in your spine function together with the vagus nerve, and when you are stressed, your nervous system contracts, which stops your natural energy flow. By taking a slow breath and calming your heart, you release tension from the nerves around your energy centers. The relaxation thus achieved enables your energy to flow smoothly and allows your chakras to work freely. ![The Spinal Highway (Sushumna Nadi) Graphic, Quantum Alchemy, Science And Metaphysics, Power Of Appreciation, Heart-Brain Coherence, Cellular Healing, Spiritual Awakening, Mind-Body Connection ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/86/a9862374-543c-42af-8505-5a68b825ae14/content/images/2026/08/data-src-image-1bf5b981-2dde-4422-b82d-6688a18507ea.jpeg "The Spinal Highway (Sushumna Nadi) Graphic") The Spinal Highway (Sushumna Nadi) ## 🪞 The Science of "It Takes One to Know One" ![The Holographic Echo, Quantum Alchemy, Science And Metaphysics, Power Of Appreciation, Heart-Brain Coherence, Cellular Healing, Spiritual Awakening, Mind-Body Connection ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/86/a9862374-543c-42af-8505-5a68b825ae14/content/images/2026/08/data-src-image-ec3cd84e-6190-4445-865c-6b204483895d.jpeg "The Holographic Echo") The Holographic Echo Since we are all part of a single Source, excellence cannot be found outside of ourselves. Owing to the holographic nature of reality, we understand that each individual part contains the entire whole. You have a shared field of consciousness with all other people, so you can only perceive a positive quality in someone else if the blueprint for that particular frequency is already present within yourself. In everyday life, mirror neurons are responsible for this. These particular brain cells become active both when you carry out an action and when you observe someone else carrying out an action. For example, if you see someone being kind, your brain will function as if you were being kind too. Mirror neurons enable our brains to feel a sense of connection with other people. If you notice and appreciate someone else's strengths, your brain will mimic that feeling. By focusing on the good qualities of others, you can help develop those same qualities in yourself. ## 🧬 Connecting the Dots and Feeling the Oneness ![The Boundless Matrix, Quantum Alchemy, Science And Metaphysics, Power Of Appreciation, Heart-Brain Coherence, Cellular Healing, Spiritual Awakening, Mind-Body Connection ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/86/a9862374-543c-42af-8505-5a68b825ae14/content/images/2026/08/data-src-image-41290d7a-9bb3-4a1d-8e99-fe7293d749d6.jpeg "The Boundless Matrix") The Boundless Matrix Appreciation serves as a bridge that reinforces the invisible links between us by tapping into the collective consciousness; when we genuinely appreciate another person's strengths, we come to realize our shared nature and cease to believe that we are separate. It goes beyond the surface level of our relationships and enables us to build strong, meaningful bonds. This energy dances through your subtle body in specific ways: - **The Solar Plexus (the Control Center):** Situated in the upper abdomen, this center is where the ego and social comparison reside. Whenever we feel jealous or critical, this area contracts and becomes knotted. Practicing active appreciation has a similar effect to giving this center a warm bath: it softens the ego's protective barriers. By suppressing the desire to compete, we allow our personal energy to safely rise into the heart. - Softens the ego's protective walls and quiets the need to compete. - **🟢 The Heart (*The Radiator*):** Living right in the center of your chest, this is where appreciation dissolves isolation and reminds us we are all connected. When your heart is smooth and coherent, it acts as a primary transmitter, broadcasting a signal of safety and welcome to everyone around you. - Dissolves isolation and broadcasts a coherent signal of safety. - **🔵 The Throat (*The Projector*):** Aligned with your voice, this center is the gateway of expression. When you voice your appreciation, you aren't just offering a polite compliment; you are using the physics of sound to project a structured frequency of life-force energy (*prana*) into the room, literally vibrating your environment into harmony. - Uses the physics of sound to project prana and vibrate the environment into harmony. - **🟣 The Third Eye (*The Lens*):** Located between the brows, this is the center of intuition. When the heart is happy and calm, it acts as a power source that opens the Third Eye, training us to look past everyday worries and see the divine spark in all things. - Streams higher intuitive data to see the divine spark in all things. - **⚪ The Spinal Highway (** *Sushumna Nadi* **):** Running along the length of the spine, this is the main highway for your life force. When a calm nervous system removes stress-induced traffic jams, this channel opens up for a fluid, looping dance of energy between your root and your crown. - Opens the main channel for a fluid, looping dance of life force energy. ## 🧪 Giving Your Cells a Happy Chemical Bath ![The Cellular Bloom, Quantum Alchemy, Science And Metaphysics, Power Of Appreciation, Heart-Brain Coherence, Cellular Healing, Spiritual Awakening, Mind-Body Connection ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/86/a9862374-543c-42af-8505-5a68b825ae14/content/images/2026/08/data-src-image-9ec57386-7f36-4579-af6a-47fa8c3f1658.jpeg "The Cellular Bloom") The Cellular Bloom The influence of appreciation extends beyond our brain's structure, as it can, in fact, alter our cells through epigenetic mechanisms. For a long time, it was thought that people were merely victims of their DNA and that our genes determined our health and future. However, epigenetics contradicts the earlier idea and shows that our genes function more like dimmer switches, turned up, down, or on and off by the emotional signals we send them. If we are living under chronic stress, judgment, or comparison, our brains release survival hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline. The effect of this chemical process is to make our cells raise their defenses and adopt a defensive stance. While in this state of heightened alertness, the deep cellular repair process comes to a standstill, inflammation rises, and our energy stores are quickly depleted merely to maintain a fictitious fight-or-flight response. On the contrary, if we fill ourselves with appreciation, the chemicals in our cells become positive. Think of your cell receptors as small tuning forks; in survival mode, they change shape to detect stress. However, when you experience deep appreciation, your chemistry changes, and your receptors then begin to interact with oxytocin and endorphins. Rather than receiving stress signals, your cells receive mild signals that tell them to reduce inflammation and begin healthy repair, resulting in improved health and energy. Thus, we are in fact altering the way our genes function through the power of love. ![The Cellular Receptor Dimmer Switches Graphic, Quantum Alchemy, Science And Metaphysics, Power Of Appreciation, Heart-Brain Coherence, Cellular Healing, Spiritual Awakening, Mind-Body Connection ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/86/a9862374-543c-42af-8505-5a68b825ae14/content/images/2026/08/data-src-image-a01639d5-2164-4e36-bb7b-286954faf76e.jpeg "The Cellular Receptor Dimmer Switches Graphic") The Cellular Receptor Dimmer Switches | Cellular Environment | Chemical Signal | Cellular Defense Posture | Long-Term Impact | | ----------------------------- | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- | | Survival / Stress Mode | Cortisol & Adrenaline | Antennae reshape to tune into stress; walls go up | Cellular repair stalls; inflammation increases | | Appreciation / Alignment Mode | Oxytocin & Endorphins | Antennae change shape to lock onto joy | Deep healthy repair work; optimal vitality | ## ⏳ Breaking the Habit of Stress ![The Great Reconfiguration, Quantum Alchemy, Science And Metaphysics, Power Of Appreciation, Heart-Brain Coherence, Cellular Healing, Spiritual Awakening, Mind-Body Connection ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/86/a9862374-543c-42af-8505-5a68b825ae14/content/images/2026/08/data-src-image-487b6a06-cbb3-40c8-8162-971ac28f6920.jpeg "The Great Reconfiguration") The Great Reconfiguration This is the point at which an understanding of your biology provides a significant benefit to your day-to-day development. When a person has lived for many years in a state of worry or judgment, their cells undergo a process known as habituation; to cope with the continual influx of stress hormones, the cells end up producing more stress receptors while simultaneously decreasing their joy receptors. The reason it feels strange or even frustrating at first to select a more positive state is that your body is undergoing a sort of chemical withdrawal from previous emotional habits. It can help you carry on if you know this. If you regularly practice appreciation, you alter your internal chemistry so that, over time, your cells break down old stress patterns and develop new receptors for joy and peace. Consistently practicing gratitude actually changes what your body wants at the cellular level. ### The Mirror of Body and Spirit To help visualize how tightly interwoven these concepts are, let’s look at how these physical biological systems mirror our subtle energetic anatomy: | Physical Biology & Science | Esoteric & Metaphysical Concept | | ------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------- | | Smooth Heart Rhythms (HRV Coherence) | Flow State / Alignment with Source | | Calming the Vagus Nerve | Clearing the Spinal Highway (Sushumna Nadi) | | Cardiac Plexus | The Heart Center (Anahata) | | Pineal & Pituitary Complex | The Third Eye (Ajna) | | Brain Mirror Neurons | The Holographic Blueprint of One Consciousness | | Cellular Receptor Adaptation | Nourishing Your Cells with Pure Love | ## 🔀 Turning Envy Into "Soul Gold" When we admire certain qualities in others, it tends to trigger a strong response in us and gives rise to a genuine desire to develop those same qualities. This act of admiring such qualities is an essential part of spiritual evolution and of the growth of the soul. The excellence we see may indicate potential we ourselves have not yet realized, or it may show us particular lessons we need to incorporate. Yet at times, when we see others succeeding,g we can feel inadequate, envious or doubtful. In such a situation, be kind to yourself. The fact that you feel a bit jealous doesn't mean you are a negative person; it just shows you are human and that your ego is trying to protect you by comparing. It is a strong method to choose appreciation in such times, for envy is merely a distorted form of recognition; your soul notices something it desires, but your ego believes it cannot possess it. Although the ego views it as a threat, your higher self sees it as an indication that you are ready to move on to the next stage in your development. If we examine these feelings carefully, we find that our triggers are, in fact, 'unclaimed soul gold'. The things that make us uncomfortable reveal what we are ready to accept. When we choose appreciation over comparison, we become more self-aware, begin to heal, and start to accept the parts of ourselves we had previously avoided. As a result, difficulties are transformed into love and acceptance. ## 🌍 Sharing the Energy: People, Planet, and Potential The advantages of this positive state extend well beyond ourselves to all people and the things surrounding us. ### In Workplaces A leader who genuinely values their team goes beyond merely lifting morale; they establish an environment characterized by positive energy, teamwork, and loyalty, and when people feel noticed, they are motivated to showcase their individual abilities. ### In Relationships Regularly acknowledging your partner's true self and their daily efforts helps strengthen your relationship. This kind of support extends well beyond simply getting along; it establishes a shared space grounded in respect, safety, and love. ### In Daily Flow and Nature's Embrace By carrying out small daily actions, such as thanking a stranger, we quickly pass on positive energy to others; we can go a step further by stopping to appreciate the warmth of the sun or the wisdom of an old tree, and by seeing the spirit in all around us. When we appreciate the Earth, we take part in a meaningful exchange with the planet's living energy; this connection grounds us, balances our energy, and links our well-being to the Earth's. If you deliberately connect with the earth, your own rhythm will match the planet's, and a flow of shared vitality will result. ## 🔮 Appreciating the Unseen and Our Challenges ![The Catalyst's Core, Quantum Alchemy, Science And Metaphysics, Power Of Appreciation, Heart-Brain Coherence, Cellular Healing, Spiritual Awakening, Mind-Body Connection ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/86/a9862374-543c-42af-8505-5a68b825ae14/content/images/2026/08/data-src-image-e1874b7b-ee05-43f4-b26d-4118cabc3038.jpeg "The Catalyst's Core") The Catalyst's Core Genuine mastery also means extending our appreciation to the non-physical worlds and expressing thanks for the gentle guidance given by guides, angels, ancestors, or the Universe, which brings about synchronicities in our lives. That is also to say that we need to learn how to value the difficulties that contribute to our growth. By trying to discover the underlying lesson or the purpose in a problem, we come to see it as a factor that aids our evolution. This shift in viewpoint accelerates our growth and enables us to develop strong resilience. ## 🛠️ Your Everyday Practical Toolkit ![The Aligned Instruments, Quantum Alchemy, Science And Metaphysics, Power Of Appreciation, Heart-Brain Coherence, Cellular Healing, Spiritual Awakening, Mind-Body Connection ](https://storage.ghost.io/c/a9/86/a9862374-543c-42af-8505-5a68b825ae14/content/images/2026/08/data-src-image-1de86cf1-1451-4aad-adf6-0b6af3fa59b3.jpeg "The Aligned Instruments") The Aligned Instruments If you want this to become a real part of your life, adopt a simple daily routine consisting of Insight (understanding the idea), Integration (feeling it in your body), and Incantation (fixing it by saying it aloud). The following are some practical tools and small daily practices that you can begin using at once: ### 30-Second Micro-Practices (For On-The-Go Alignment) - **The "Vagal Reset" Micro-Compliment:** Before you give someone a compliment or say "thank you," pause for 3 seconds. Take a deep, five-second breath into your chest to calm your heart. As you breathe out, speak your appreciation. This small change turns a simple interaction into something more powerful, as your words carry extra positive energy when you are calm. - *Pause 3 seconds ➡️ Inhale 5 seconds ➡️ Speak appreciation on the exhale.* - **The "Grounded Reciprocity" Walk:** Turn a short walk to your car or mailbox into a way to connect with the earth. As your heel touches the ground, silently say "Thank." As your toe lifts, think "You." Imagine your feet sending roots into the earth as you breathe in, and pulling up grounding energy as you breathe out. This helps balance your energy right away. - Heel hits ("Thank") ➡️ Toe lifts ("You") ➡️ Visualize rooting into Gaia. ### Deep Healing & Integration Tools - **Practice Mindful Presence:** Tune in to subtle energies by fully connecting to the eternal Now. Notice the inherent worth and unique vibrational signatures of the people, places, and moments around you, and truly feel their strengths. - **Offer Gratitude Out Loud:** Make it a habit to say your appreciation out loud. Speaking your gratitude brings positive energy into your space, like a blessing or a gentle sound that helps you and those around you feel better. - *Incantation to try:* "I speak this appreciation into the field, anchoring love into form." - **Focus on Strengths:** Try to shift your attention away from what’s missing and toward the good you see. Focusing on positive qualities helps you attract more positivity and gently shapes your reality to match what you focus on. - **Be Specific When You Acknowledge Others:** Being specific shows you are truly paying attention. It lets people know you see and value their unique contributions, making your appreciation more meaningful. - **The "Cellular Saturation Breath":** First, sit down comfortably for a minute and close your eyes. Rather than viewing your body as a solid thing, picture your trillions of cells as tiny rooms that are entirely dark and isolated from daily stress. Inhale deeply and slowly, and feel a warm, physical sense of appreciation for your life. Then, as you exhale, imagine the windows of all those trillions of rooms opening out wide at the same time, so that a surging wave of bright, happy biochemistry pours into your body. Over time, this helps your cells break down old stress patterns and develop new receptors for joy. - **The 'Alchemical Flip' tool:** If you find yourself reacting to someone else's success, talent, or way of life, then pause and reframe that emotion. Begin by allowing yourself emotional space by telling yourself: "I am giving myself permission to feel this sense of contraction without judging it; it is a normal human reaction." Breathe deeply, stay rooted in the present moment, and then speak to the shadow aspect: "I am developing the divine quality that I admire; I appreciate it for showing me what is possible in terms of my own soul development." Lastly, send a quiet gesture of appreciation to your own ego or survival mechanism for trying to protect you; the moment you thank your shadow, its strength disappears. - **Heart-Coherence Appreciation Meditation:** Spend a few minutes breathing deeply. Place your hand over your heart center and slow your breath to a rhythmic five-second inhale and five-second exhale. As you do this, you are actively aligning your heart rhythm. Generate the visceral, warm *feeling* of appreciation for a person, a challenge, or the planet, sending a coherent signal up your vagus nerve to calm your entire system and allow your Heart and Third Eye centers to stream higher intuitive data. - **The Holographic Resonance Scan:** The next time you find yourself deeply inspired by someone’s genius, eloquence, or compassion, close your eyes and visualize that person as a beautiful field of light. Locate the specific point in your own body that tingles, warms, or expands in response to their energy. Take a breath and softly tell yourself: *'I see this beautiful trait because it’s already alive inside me, too. I’m turning this superpower on right now.'* Breathe into that warm space for three deep, easy breaths, letting that feeling settle deep into your cellular memory. - **The Quantum Blueprint Anchoring Ritual:** Every evening before sleep, look back over your day and find three excellent traits you saw in other people. Close your eyes, visualize those traits as pure geometric light or vibrant colors, and use a slow, deep inhale to pull those colors directly into your energy field. I intend for these blueprints to anchor in your consciousness while your physical body rests. - **Distance Gridwork Projection:** You don't need to be in the same room as someone to appreciate them. Sit quietly, bring a loved one, an old adversary, or even a troubled region of the Earth into your mind's eye. Visualize a brilliant stream of coherent emerald light traveling from your heart center directly into theirs. Because we live in a non-local, unified field, this projection strengthens the overarching morphic resonance of peace, defying the illusion of physical distance. - **The "Future-Scripting" Timeline Shift:** The quantum field and your nervous system do not distinguish between an actual physical event and a deeply felt emotional visualization. Open your journal and write a single paragraph detailing a massive breakthrough, healing milestone, or achievement you desire for next year—but write it completely in the present tense, as if it has already occurred. Saffuse the words with intense, celebratory appreciation and relief. By offering genuine, somatic gratitude in advance, you collapse the illusion of linear time and broadcast the exact electromagnetic signature needed to align your personal holographic blueprint with your highest, most vibrant timeline. - **Show Appreciation in Your Actions:** Lead by example. Let your daily actions show real appreciation, making you a source of positive energy. This helps you stay balanced and supports your well-being. ### 🛠️ Take the Tools With You To help you apply these concepts in your daily routine, I’ve put together a beautifully formatted, print-ready guide that maps out the quantum mechanisms and daily instructions for each practice. 👉 **\[**[**Download the Deep Healing & Integration Tools Handout Here**](https://izalgo.us/deep-healing-integration-tools-handout/)**\]** ## Conclusion & Key Takeaways: The Abundant Timeline Appreciation is not merely a short-lived, pleasant feeling; it is a vibrant, powerful force that improves our reality from within. Each time you choose to feel appreciation rather than lack or envy, you not only alter your own day but also reinforce a high-vibrational pattern in the collective unconscious, which in turn makes it structurally easier for people around the world to move out of survival mode and into a state of abundance. As Voltaire pointed out, when we appreciate something, we make what is excellent in the universe ours as well; it is a means of bringing about a more positive reality. ### Your Quick Consciousness Summary - **The Quantum Mirror:** Because we are all connected, your brain cells physically fire to mirror the goodness you see in others. You cannot see excellence unless that exact blueprint already lives inside you, waiting to grow. - **The Biological Tuning Fork:** Slow, rhythmic breathing calms your heart and clears the nervous system highway along your spine. Clearing the nervous system highway lets your heart and intuition centers open up and stream higher guidance. - **Cellular Tuning:** Your cells listen to your feelings. Flooding your body with appreciation changes your internal chemistry, training your cellular antennae over time to crave joy and health rather than stress and inflammation. - **Flipping the Switch:** Envy is just your soul recognizing your own hidden potential. Using the "Alchemical Flip" transforms tricky feelings into fuel for rapid personal growth. - **The Global Ripple:** Your personal practice doesn't stay small. It feeds into the global energetic grid, making alignment, peace, and abundance more accessible to the entire planet. ## Call to Action For a moment, consider the way appreciation appears in your life. What can you do to allow this feeling to flow more spontaneously and sincerely from your heart out into the world? Why not select just one technique today, for example,e by beginning a Future-Scripting journal, carrying out a quick 30-second Micro-Practice, trying the Cellular Saturation breath, or attempting a Holographic Resonance Scan? Keep it simple, remain consistent, and become aware of the subtle yet powerful changes that start to occur within you and around you. You have the opportunity to raise the world's energy, to develop in all aspects, and to strengthen your connection with your source. The energy you share at this time helps create a more spiritually aware world for all. ***“Our actions and decisions today will shape how we will live. And so it is.”*** ## Quick Reference Summary #### Connecting and Mirroring - Appreciation uses quantum entanglement to bring out hidden, strong qualities in our own holographic blueprint. - Mirror neurons are the physical means by which this works: when you see a positive quality in someone else, the same neural patterns are activated in your own brain, which shows that you share the same blueprint. #### Smooth Rhythms and Energy Pathways - Practicing a five-second heart-breathing technique synchronizes your heart rhythms and transmits safety signals along the vagus nerve. - By calming that nerve, physical tension in the tissues is relieved, thus enabling life force energy to move smoothly along your spinal pathway and bringing your higher centers of intuition and expression into operation. #### Cellular Vitality and Habits - Your mind converts feelings of appreciation into a chemistry that promotes life. - Cell receptors are like small physical tuning forks that, with practice over time, alter themselves to seek out joy and peace rather than old stress habits. #### Transforming Triggers - It is possible to view envy not as a lack on the part of the individual but as a distorted kind of recognition. - The use of the "Alchemical Flip" turns dense, competitive comparison into a deliberate means of integrating the shadow by recognizing triggers as untapped personal potential. #### The Earth and the Global Field - The fact that individuals develop an appreciation of themselves contributes to collective fields, which in turn makes it easier for humanity to move towards global alignment. - By deliberately directing thanks toward the earth, you establish an energetic exchange with Gaia that helps balance your own energy field. --- ***The following information is given for educational, informational, and spiritual development purposes only and should not be interpreted as medical, psychological, or professional healthcare advice.
