HEALTH006MELATONIN:WHY GETTING ENOUGHSLEEP IS SO IMPORTANTWRITTEN BY: Alanna KetlerEMAIL: alanna@collective-evolution.comWhile the average of amount of sleep time is 7.5hours, is this enough? And when we are sleeping arewe getting the best quality of sleep possible? Do yourealize just how important sleep is for your health? Itis very important to be sleeping in a very dark room,because during this time and more so in the darkyour pineal gland and also something called thehypothalamus produces a very important chemicalcalled melatonin. Melatonin is sometimes known as‘The Dracula of Hormones.’Melatonin is an extremely powerful antioxidantthat has many benefits to your health. The best partis, you produce it naturally, in your sleep! During yoursleep, melatonin actually combats the production of freeradical disease- causing cells in your body. Each nightwe produce between 5 and 25 mg of melatonin, theselevels can vary greatly depending on many factors. It isimportant to sleep in a dark room, because if there islight this inhibits the receptors in your eyes from tellingyour pineal gland that it is time to start producing thischemical, this is why you might find it difficult to sleepin a bright room, or during the day time.If you generally have trouble sleeping, this may befor a few reasons. A big factor might be that you arenot producing enough melatonin. There are melatoninsupplements available for you to take, and it is verycommon for people to take melatonin to help themsleep, but if you can produce this chemical naturallyBLOG: �t you rather do that? There are natural ways toincrease the level of melatonin that you are producing.Some great all natural ways to increase yourmelatonin production include: Going to bed early enough to get enough sleep Regular exercise and other stress reducingtechniques such as yoga Meditation Eating foods that are rich in magnesium Sleeping with the cycles (going to sleep when it isdark and waking up when it is light, this seems reallyobvious, but you would be amazed at how importantthis really is for melatonin production) Getting enough daylight in, making sure to get fullsunlight at some points throughout the day. Oftentimes we wake up and get right in a car to go to work,and then into a building, and then from there back intoa car and back home where we sit until it is dark again.Daylight is equally as important to you during the dayas darkness is for you during the night.NIGHTY NIGHT, SLEEP TIGHT!

HEALTH008PHYSICAL NUTRITION:CLEANSING ON A CELLULAR LEVELWRITTEN BY: Neil Froehlich & Kevin FerrierEMAIL: rition.comDO YOU HAVE MORE TOXINS COMING IN THANYOU HAVE GOING OUT?PHYSICAL CLEANSING ACTION STEPS:In last months issue we introduced the 6 mainAspects of Vibrant living and focused on raising personalawareness in each aspect (mental, physical, emotional,spiritual, relationships, and purpose). Now it is time tostart taking action steps based on that awareness.Naturally our cells have the ability to vibrate at a veryhigh level. But, when we are exposed to or consume moretoxins than our body can efficiently eliminate our body isforced to store the excess toxins in our cells, leading tolower vibration and disease.Due to the toxic state of most of our environments itis a given that the vast majority of us on the planet havecleansing to do on all levels. Starting to physically cleanseallows us to start receiving real nutrition again, and torealign our vibration with our natural state.1. Drink 3-6 Liters of Pure Filtered Water A DayIf you are going to take up any new healthy habit,drinking enough water should be your first choice. Wateris necessary for almost all processes of elimination andis of vital importance when detoxifying. Drinking a tonof filtered water and staying fully hydrated assists thecleansing process.Recommendations:1) Buy some mason jars (or a water bottle of your choice)and always have a liter of clean filtered water handy.2) Drink a Liter of Warm Water with a squeeze of lemonjuice before eating anything in the morning.3) Drink enough water so that you are taking at least 5-10clear pees/day. If you are thirsty, you are dehydrated. Thegoal is to avoid getting thirsty.

HEALTH0092. Eat a 70 - 80% Raw Organic Whole Fruits andVegetable DietMany of the standard foods in a modern diet are actuallymore harmful to our bodies than they are beneficial, andthe result is more disease in society than ever before.Some of the main culprits are processed food, geneticmodification, rancid fats, chemical growing processes,refined sugar, and low nutrient density foods. When weget back to a more natural diet of mostly raw organicwhole fruits and vegetables it allows our body to begin torestore and repair the damage from many years of nonideal eating.Recommendations:1) Buy Local, Seasonal, Organic whenever possible. Thiswill increase the nutrient density of the foods you eat andwill decrease the toxins going into your body.2) Aim to keep your overall calories from fat between 1020% of your overall calories.3) Create a diet of 80% Raw Fruits and Veggies. Eat asmuch and as many fruits and leafy green and colorfulvegetables as you can in variety throughout the year.3. Drink Green Juice On A Regular BasisHerbs and green vegetables are well known for specificdetoxifying agents and high nutrient contents. Drinkingthem in a juice puts these agents in their most availableform and allows for direct transfusion into our bodiessystems. This is the closest thing to a refined supplementthat we recommend. Treat juicing like a living multivitamin! Make sure you switch up your ingredients often,getting as much variety as possible.Recommendations:1) Get your hands on a high quality juicer (We recommendthe Hurom or Omega Vert.)2) Drink 1L of dark green juice on an empty stomach daily!3) Check out www.groundednutrition.com for instructions,more information on juicing, and lots of recipes!4. MovementWhen we move our body we promote circulation,oxygenation, and regeneration. All of which facilitatescleansing on many different levels. Walking, swimming,running, yoga, martial arts, and all forms of activity aregreat for assisting detox.Recommendations:1) Work up a sweat! The skin is the largest eliminationpathway and is working its hardest when we get a fullbody sweat. Make sure to replace your electrolytes whenyou sweat. (Celery and coconut water are great sourcesfor this.)2) Rebound! Jumping on a mini trampoline for 10 minutesa day directly stimulates and circulates the lymphaticsystem allowing for increased bodily elimination.3) Take a Yoga or Qi Gong class. These practices are oftenaimed specifically at bodily detox and can have greathealing effects.5. Breath WorkDoing breath work and breathing clean oxygenatedair is essential for proper detoxification. The lungsare responsible for up to 80-90% of the body’s toxinelimination when fully active, ignoring our breath is adangerous habit! Breathing properly in each moment anddoing specific breath work practices daily is an essentialpart of cleansing our cells.Recommendations:1) Whenever you can, stop what you are doing and take3 conscious full body breaths letting your mind relax forthose few moments. (This provides instant physical andmental health benefits)2) Look into and research breathing techniques. Werecommend Trinity Breathing and any full yogic breathingtechniques.3) Weekly lengthy outdoor cardiovascular exercise(anything that gets you outside, breathing hard, and canbe sustained for 45 minutes or more)6. Enhanced Elimination Techniques and ProcessesAlthough we generally steer clear of anything unnaturalto the body we also recognize that after living sounnaturally for a long period it may be helpful to givesome unnatural aid to help strengthen, stimulate orenhance malfunctioning or overburdened systems withinthe body.Recommendations:1) Infrared Saunas2) Colon Hydrotherapy and Enemas3) Juice Feasting or Water Fasting4) Massage, Vibration Machines and ReboundingLiving healthier but not getting the results you want?FIND OUT WHY IN THE MARCH ISSUE OF CE MAGAZINESEEMORE ONTHE NEXTPAGE

HEALTH010We recommend a consistent transition to a cleanerway of eating suitable to each individual. You do not haveto instantly incorporate all of the habits, unless you wantto and it is realistic for you. These habits are goals to havein mind. As long as you are consistently moving towardsthem with a knowing that one day you will reach them, youare doing great. Allow yourself to transition at a pace thatis overall beneficial to where you are currently residing.Cleansing too quickly can bring up a lot of other issuesand can actually cause more harm to the body than isnecessary. Just take your time, be patient and don’t behard on yourself.Incorporating all of these habits brings many benefits,but usually not instantly. First we must go through a“detox phase” that often makes us feel worse before westart to feel better. This initial phase can be intense but itis simply the body rapidly getting rid of the toxins that arepositioning us. It does get better, trust us! This is part ofthe not so easy but well worth it detox journey.Some benefits you will start to notice with consistentapplication of the habits mentioned above are:- Increased longevity- Reduced risk of illness and disease- Restored natural body weight- Gained energy- Mental clarity- Overall increase in vitality and vibrancy- Building of a solid fountain to consistently andefficiently grow in all other areas of our livesRemember, health is holistic and as the physicalbody cleanses so will the other 5 aspects of vibrant living.If we feel stagnation in one area it is always a great ideato look at the other areas of our life and see where else weare not in alignment.Many of the action steps we shared in this articlemay seem simple, but when they are applied and focusedupon diligently with intention the results they bring willtransform you and your life.

ALTERNATIVE NEWS015ANCIENT CULTURES& UFO’SWRITTEN BY: Arjun WaliaEMAIL: arjun@collective-evolution.comUnidentified Flying Objects (UFOs)are a hot topic of interest as of late,especially within the past couple ofyears. Don’t get me wrong, UFOs havebeen a hot topic of interest for a longtime, but as we move through thesespecial times the subject has taken offlike never before. A large majority ofpeople on planet Earth are beginningto ask questions, it’s no secret that thetopic is on the minds of many. Crediblewitness testimony and whistle blowersranging from the political, Army, Navy,Air force, and NASA arenas have beenspeaking up, and the world is listening.Many of these individuals come withcredentials, and are well known inthe mainstream world, like Dr BrianO’Leary, or Dr Edgar Mitchell. We evenhave official documentation that hasbeen released via the government aswell as three letter agencies like theFBI, NSA and CIA. UFO researchersare also uncovering the reality throughthe Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).The point is, that UFOs are real andthe fact that the control structure isleaking this information means somewithin it want the human race to knowthat we are not the only ones in theuniverse, even though we are figuringit out on our own. Why else would theyadmit to having programs that study thephenomenon? I know that Hollywoodand the mainstream world have beamedus with a lot of fear, and when it comesto UFOs and extraterrestrials, there is alot of perception control. Basically, wesee a lot of violent and scary movies,and we already have an idea of whatextraterrestrials would represent. It’sno coincidence that the film industryhas always been connected to thedepartment of defense for movie nand insight. Maybe they want us to reactin fear, like everything else. It’s funny howthe ones who own the big entertainmentindustry also own the energy industry,which is directly related to the cover upof the UFO phenomenon as well. I do notthink the ones who control the world’sresources have our best interest in hand,and the fact that they spend so mucheffort covering up the UFO phenomenongives more credibility to the fact that itmight not be a bad thing.Extraterrestrials and UFOs arenothing to fear, they will not be invadingus. In fact, they have been aroundforever and many people are makingthat connection by all of the activityin our skies, and their own personalexperience, not to mention all of thedisclosure by our mainstream world.Many are making connections, and thereare more connections to be made bysimply looking at our ancient world. Thetrue history of planet Earth does indeedinvolve UFOs and extraterrestrials.There are so many examples ofUFOs in our ancient world; I don’t evenknow where to begin. I always found it sointriguing that pyramid structures werebuilt by ancient civilizations that hadno idea of each other’s existence; doesthat not raise an eyebrow? From myresearch, I have come to the conclusionthat the pyramids have much to do withthe soul, as well as having out of bodyexperiences. Egyptians, Mayans, theBalinese were some of these cultures,to name a few. Multiple civilizationsalso spoke of God’s coming to the Earthteaching about spirituality, astronomyand mathematics. They also depictedsimilar art and ancient artifacts. TheMayans spoke of sun gods coming tothe Earth and teaching them about theSEEMORE ONTHE NEXTPAGE

It was more than likely that human beings were theone that gave that label to them.The Vedas are a large body of texts originating inancient India; the texts constitute the oldest layers ofSanskrit, ranging from 1700 to 1100 BCE. Within thesetexts there are several references to Vimanas, which aremythological flying machines, although I’m not to surehow much of Earths ancient history is really mythological.These flying Vimanas were employed by the Gods thatare described in the Vedic texts.
