Kabbalah.info is a fantastic resource for anyone interested in what Kabbalah is. It is run by the Bnei Baruch Kabbalah Education & Research Center. You will find tons of videos teaching the principles of this spirituality from the ground up. Starting September 3rd, they will be having free, live, interactive webcast classes which you can sign up for here. I recommend learning about Kabbalah. It’s an incredible perspective on reality, and a tool set you won’t soon throw out.
Drink this for a surprisingly great-tasting boost in the morning (or anytime). You won’t crash, and your body will thank you for the incredible nutritional components that you have given it:

one glass (~6-8 oz.) of cold filtered or spring water Health Benefits: You are 55-75% water. You could almost say you are a water being. If that isn’t proof that water is a benefit, I don’t know what is.
Add the water, fruit, and honey into a blender and blend on low for about 10 seconds. Add kale and spinach and blend about 10 more seconds on low. Blend on high for about 30 seconds or until smooth. Keep unused smoothie in the refrigerator (in a container with a lid or sealed with plastic wrap) for no more than 24 hours. (It’s better fresh!)
Enjoy this delicious, all-natural, sustained lift in mood and energy! More recipes can easily be found through an online search.

Elixir crafting is the fun and delicious process of creating the perfect blended foods for yourself containing living, healing, and explosively nutritious substances. I’ve learned so much from watching these incredible videos, including a great deal about the properties of water. These videos have encouraged me to change my diet, and I believe I will document that process on this blog.
Integral, in its current state, contains several inherently abstract parts. In the history of man, integral1 is a new way of understanding the world, and modern philosophers and researchers are still trying to help us flesh out and comprehend this relatively young framework. This is an absolutely necessary and welcome part of the evolutionary process toward becoming integral as a global society. There’s a lot to take into account, because nothing is considered unimportant.
Many can become caught in this very mental, theoretical, and non-experiential mode of approach, and this leaves out the best part of this progressive way of living. To help move people toward the experience of integral, I have come up with these keys to living an integral life.
