When you embrace change enthusiastically, you have a say and influence in how the change occurs.Look at this opportunity with great enthusiasm.An opportunity to challenge the assumptions of everything.A mass awakening is on the brink of dawning. But we need to get radical.Get radical by radiating absolute bliss amongst the collective, in the streets, in the grocery stores.Get radical by enthusiastically enjoying your self and having fun!This is episode part 2 on how to navigate during crisis's and pandemics.

How do you navigate through uncertainty?How can you thrive whilst going through a time of radical change?You may have gained a greater understanding and perspective on the medical reality of the germ that is Covid-19, thus do not fear it, however, whilst gaining perspective you may have been exposed to the dark truth and hidden agendas that are involved in this "plannedemic."How do we interact with these evil and dark forces? How do we support the light, the positive and enlighten the collective?If you retaliate against evil, you lower yourself to the level of the wrong.Rather let the wrong be just a drop in the ocean of your virtue.Let the impurities of the atmosphere find a refuge in the ocean of purity in your heart, in the unfathomable joy of your inner pure conscience.  And what really is the bigger picture behind all this?Gary Gorrow is interviewed to share wisdom on the greater perspective view on all this.

An exciting area of modern science is exploring the connection between the gut and our brain. They are intimately connected.The gut-brain axis: The bi-directional communication pathway in us.There’s plenty of evidence that stress and violence will negatively affect one’s microbiome, mood, immunity and bodily functions.According to Ayurveda, 85%-99% of health concerns originate as digestive imbalance, known as "manda agni"The collective of micro-organisms that dominate the human body, the microbiome, play a very large role in gut health, mental health, and basically all biological functions.We are 90% bugs. Most of the cells in our body are microbial.We need to get more familiar with the microbes that dominate our gut.ABOUT KRIBEN GOVENDERKriben Govender, is a Food Scientist, Registered Nutritionist and Founder of Nourishme Organics, a company specialising in Gut Health and Mitochondrial health-focused products and Allele Microbiome – a provider of cutting edge Metagenomic Stool Testing and Deuteriu

Please educate yourself on the holistic and comprehensive science on what viruses actually are!Empower yourself with knowledge and the reality of the health implications relating to the Corona Virus.The emergency isn’t the corona virus, it is the fear and panic of this pandemic, ignorance of microbiome and reality of true health risks.We’ve been indoctrinated with a fear paradigm around viruses, not based in science.The same happened with bird flu, swine flu, Ebola, measles and Zika.The hysteria being drummed up follows a well-worn pattern where the population is kept in a state of fear about microbes, so that drug companies can come to the rescue with yet another expensive (and potentially mandatory) drug or vaccine.ABOUT DR.
