Evolving Natural Systems

Nature's ever evolving natural systems help us to adapt and make changes that keep us in harmony with the rest of life.

When we attempt to dominate, or control natural forces we only delay the inevitable. Ultimately natural forces are much bigger and stronger than human will forces to dominate and control events. With this effort to dominate and control we create a schism within ourselves, with nature and with life. Our will to suppress natural forces creates an illusion of separation from nature. We pit ourselves against nature in an attempt to create a false sense of safety for ourselves which results in an imbalance of natural forces.

Natural forces are not to be feared, but rather respected. Nature is showing us how we need to adapt and change for the times ahead. The ways of mother nature are ancient and bring balance and renewal for all of earth's children.

Due to many factors human kind has finally reached a point where we can see that warring with nature and with others does not,  and cannot ever, work and we're being forced to make changes.

Films like, 'Anthropocene: The Human Epoch' and 'Invisible Hands' are bringing dark hidden elements at work on the planet into our awareness.

Freedom oils support strong digestive forces and promote circulation.

Freedom oils support you to connect with your spirit to realize your highest potential. When your connection with spirit is intact you experience yourself as the creator of your reality, not because everything goes according to what you would like, but because you perceive and interpret what is happening as loving and supportive. Your creative will sees everything as working for you and the highest good of all concerned.
