These Are The 4 Secret Steps To Access The Akashic Records…

“When we allow our soul to guide us, we are always shown the way.” – Sue Krebs

Akashi is a Sanskrit word which means ‘sky’, ‘space’, ‘luminous’, or ‘ether’. It’s an etymology that encompasses the all-knowing aspect of Akashic Records.

H.P. Blavatsky coined the term Akashic Records which referred to as indestructible tablets of astral light.

What Are The Akashic Records?What Are Akashic Records

Akashic Records or Hall of Akashic Records is like an archive of everything that took place. It holds all the information about the past, present, and future and is accessible anytime.

However, it can only be accessed by persons with these purposes: good and clear intentions, to use the knowledge derived from it to expand the spiritual path and to dissolve persistent patterns of karma. One should not access it out of curiosity, nor undertake it lightly.

When the doors of the Hall are opened, it presents information you would otherwise not find out, like your horrible death in a past life. It may also reveal reasons for the difficulties in the present life or repel certain ‘home truths’.

In the book, Light of the Soul, Alice Bailey stated the records’ difficulty in the following words:

“The life experiences of every human being since time began, the reactions to the experience of the entire animal kingdom, (and) the aggregation of the thought-forms of a karmic nature (based on desire) of every human unit throughout time. Herein lies the great deception of the records.”

The Akashic records also hold an energetic storage of the collective consciousness in its purest form. Tapping into it is quite overwhelming. Maybe because it reveals your specific relationships, your mistakes, and the sins you committed to others that make it hard to take on board.

How To Access The Akashic Records?Steps To Access The Akashic Records

Ask yourself first if you’re ready to know when you have hurt others or to what extent.

When you are ready, take the plunge and follow your intuition.

If you feel you are prepared enough to access and interpret your records, follow these meditational steps:

1. Be clear and have good intentions.

Ask yourself if you’re prepared to face the worst things that may come up, whatever they may be. Take into consideration that you may not be a saint in your past lives.

Next, state your intentions to the universe. Your words may flow like this:

 ‘I wish to access my records in order to resolve my karma and further work towards helping those around me.’

State clearly that you’re ready to do soul work and not merely driven by curiosity.

Another way to prepare is to ask for information that serves the good of the whole and healing for others. If it’s the right and appropriate time, you’ll be given the green light to heal. It will also give you the go-ahead sign to enable you to learn about your life, which in general, also applies to the whole picture and growth of your soul.

2. Be specific with your questions or intentions.

Use a candlelight and get yourself into a meditative state. Do breathing exercises for 15 minutes. When you’re getting near trance, start to rely on your senses to commence the access.

Make sure to frame your questions on learning from the most helpful parts. Like, ‘what was the hardest lesson in my most recent past life and did I achieve it?’ You may also allow the emotions of current problems stir in you and see where it takes you. The questions only serve as guides.

Once you’ve stated your intentions, you’re drawn to images, sounds, or sensations that take you to your past. You may be taken either to the oldest life or the most recent one.

If you trust yourself and let your soul guide you through the life lessons, it’s more likely to be summed up to what is relevant to you.

3. Keep the sessions brief.

When you’re just starting, keep the sessions brief. Later on, as you repeatedly do it, you get a knack for falling into the trance or even aligning with your desired outcomes.

Along the process, difficult ‘home truths’ may come up. Give yourself time. Let it settle before examining it. But try not to deny it, no matter how strange it may appear.

Just trust the process and be gracious. Being ungracious may get you denied the access the next time. It may also show you are unprepared.

When you don’t find anything that resonated, close the ‘file’ for the day. You can come back to it later. It’s an ongoing process that may drain you eventually.

4. Keep the practice.

The more you practice accessing the Akashic records, the more you are showing the universe that you are ready to evolve and raise your vibrations. You may even be ready to uncover your soul purpose.

Even if you start out unprepared to receive your soul’s purpose or life potential, the experience may transform you so much that you advance in leaps and bounds in a very short span of time.

The records may be a heavy stuff, but it does not only open to resolve one’s karma but serves for deep healing as well.

Wherever you may be in the process, be patient and move on. Know that the right things will appear before you when it’s time.

9 Signs You Are At High Levels Of Advanced Awakening

0

For the past few months, people have been noticing some changes in their energy.

Our bodies adjust to the existing energy frequencies that the Earth has.

This is one of the reasons why both emotionally and spiritual awakened people are recently noticing changes through the energy their bodies are receiving from the Earth.

Especially those who have attuned themselves to resonate with the Earth and Nature! These vibrations affect them directly.

What are the most apparent symptoms of awakening?Common Signs Of Awakening

The most apparent symptoms of a basic shift of energy, or even Ascension, include mild to moderate discomfort because of nausea, depression, bouts of dizziness, sporadic memory loss, and sometimes more noticeable aspects like tinnitus or short periods of intense sweating, not preceded by any strenuous activity.

In fact most of these are the standard symptoms people undergoing an ascension feel, between successive energy levels.

But what of those people who have crossed these milestones?

Advanced symptoms of higher awakening:Signs Of Advanced Awakening

As it turns out, with higher energy levels, we meet more noticeable symptoms of ascension as well. Some of you may recognize these:

– Sluggishness and indifference;

– Complete lack of motivation, despite a significant work load;

– Swinging between eating huge amounts and having no appetite at all;

– Intestinal discomfort and bowel sounds;

– Periods of extended insomnia, mixed with periods of extreme sleepiness and prolonged sleeping hours;

– Restlessness and vague anxiety, even hives in some cases;

– You might have mild headaches even if you’ve never had a history of headaches.

– Another thing that can happen is having sudden hot flashes and periods of night sweats.

– You might experience sudden drops of energy and mood swings.

What should you expect?Advanced Signs Of Awakening

The concept of linear time is directly involved with the sequence of our ascension. It is known and accepted that ascension is a gradual process.

You’ll find that these painful and sometimes embarrassing symptoms are directly linked to anger and anxiety. The solar plexus area is the part of your body where these emotions can center.

Your body is detoxing itself both energetically and chemically and those symptoms are a natural response.

With every better decision you make due to your ascension you are slowly getting rid of negative emotional clog, energetical blockages, thoughts and information that influences negatively, even foods that take more energy than they give.

When you are not accustomed to what you have going through, it can be doubly difficult. Seeking help is always a good idea, especially when it can be remedied, like certain minor physical conditions that require regular supplementation.

We know how our bodies process food, and if we don’t, we should learn. When your consciousness is raising and you are experiencing ascension it is normal to start craving healthier foods.

In fact the correlation is simple. We naturally crave the foods with micronutrients that our body requires or is short on. Throwing vitamins in your mouth every day is not just the answer to it.

You have to monitor the charts of your hunger and your performance. This is infinitely different for two people who are dieting based on their personal needs.

It comes down to vibration. To be conscious and awakened enough, helps your incorporate the change right down to the DNA level.

3 Ways To Awaken Your ‘Inner Healer’ And Activate Your Powers…

0

Has your heart been broken? It’s one of those tough experiences. Your world seemed to crumble and fall at first. But as the years turned into years, you slowly became okay. Then suddenly you emerge as vibrant as ever as if nothing had happened.

This is the result of healing. Humans and nature, in general, have the ability to heal: whether it be a broken heart or a broken arm. Healing is the process of making better, making well, restoring what’s broken, and making it whole again. When you experience self-healing, it’s possible that you have the gift of healing others too.

Everything that happens in your life fits in the Divine Plan. Obstacles, hardships, challenges, and traumas that you encounter may drag you down. You may feel that the forces of the universe conspire against you. But when the big picture unfolds, you realize that everything you’ve been through is a preparation for your higher purpose. The journey of healing starts with the self.

Before a healer conducts healing energy to others, he expands his consciousness and then resolves whatever is ailing them on the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual planes.

In ancient times, healers or shamans secured the aid of the Spirit world for the benefit of the entire community. They have the ability to heal a disease, heal the psyche, or heal relationships between human groups, or between human and nature. They also served as intermediaries or messengers between the human world and the Spirit worlds.

The same value is being provided by present-day healers, who are naturally gifted. Profound life events may also bring healers to this area. While there are also those who are more dedicated to helping others and seek further training through energy healing courses.

Has it occurred to you that you could be a healer?Has it occurred to you that you could be a healer

Healers have these qualities: focused, sensitive, compassionate, and hardworking. They love to spend time in nature, meditation, and prayer.

They are more attuned to working through the wounds and emotional issues from their childhood. If these speak to you, you could be a healer.

If you are one, your experiences, qualities, and skills will greatly help you in this endeavor.

Open yourself to the possibilities of healing. These 3 tips will help you:

3 ways to awaken your inner healer:Ways To Awaken Inner Healer Powers

1. Expand your consciousness

When you perceive beyond the limitations of your body and mind, you’re able to feel the connectedness into everything that is. You feel you are part of this vast universe. If you are hiking in the woods or watching sunrise and sunset, you experience this connectedness. Nature has the power to immerse you in the expanded nature of awareness.

You may also reach this awareness through yoga, music, prayer, and in instances where you feel you are connected with others. But the surest route to heightened consciousness is through meditation.

The state of expanded consciousness is the best state from which to get guidance and direction, recharge the energy fields, and get the information for healing. Being in this state connects you to higher qualities and field of possibilities.

You must realize that all the power you need is all out there before you. When you access to the unified field intentionally, you have the ability to discover anything in the universe including the past, the present, and the future.

This serves as the basis for healing others and help them achieve life transformation. This is the foundation of energy healing.

2. Examine your beliefs

You may explore your values and beliefs, know yourself, and develop an open mind through the daily practice of journal writing.

By examining your beliefs, you may know what’s limiting you, and what’s holding you back. Fear-based thinking has its way of limiting you, blocking your way to expansion.

Most of our important beliefs are unconscious. We derived 90% of these beliefs from our childhood, our parents, school, culture and the environment making them run the greater part of our lives.

These unconscious beliefs may inhibit you to achieve your highest potential. When you operate solely according to pre-existing ideas, you fail to grow and expand, take in new information, and make new choices.

You have to move past these boundaries of your conditioning if you were to become who you want to be. By clearing yourself, it’s easier for you to clear the channels of others.

3. Extend your hand. Extend the light

Service to others balances your inner practice of meditation, journal writing, and prayer. Allow healing to take place through inner and outer harmony.

One of the most powerful forces of healing is connection. Give importance to connect with others daily.

Smile at the harried checkout clerk at the supermarket. Be nice to the people standing with you at the bank. Exercise generosity by letting the other car into the lane ahead of you.

Each time you send out care for others, you are being of service to them. This clears a space for you to receive more of the expanded energy of higher consciousness that you seek.

Heal yourself and others by the love that you give in your daily interactions. The number of people you touch doesn’t matter, as long as you spread your light in whatever arena you are called to serve.

“There is a force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results.” –Mahatma Gandhi

8 Ways Lao Tzu Says You Can Achieve True Happiness

0

A man’s strength and well being lay in the arms of happiness, according to China’s ancient philosopher and founder of Taoism, Lao-Tzu.

For him, a person would continue his constant struggles when he fails to uncover and cherish happiness. No one could rule others unless he learns to rule the heart.

To discover happiness, follow these 8 ways:Lao Tzu happiness

1. Listen to your heart.

“At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.”

Learn to listen to your heart. It holds the answers to your questions. Follow its voice. Never cast aside the answer it gives you in favor of fantastical outcomes, for it rarely becomes a reality. When you learn to listen to your heart, you overcome every challenge that may come your way.

2. Savor the journey.

“A good traveler has no fixed plans, and is not intent on arriving.”

Be not fixated on the destination. Where you’re headed doesn’t matter. What matters are the lessons you learn along the ups and downs of the highways and byways of life. If you enjoy the journey, you’ll get more out of the experience. Before you knew it, you have arrived to your right destination.

3. Live life in simplicity, patience, and compassion.

“Simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.”

Try to live a simple life. When you look at it deeply, you find it’s a straightforward reality. Complexity yields anger and frustration. Simplicity leads you to what matters most.

Be patient in all your undertakings. Impatience distorts your inner peace.

Have compassion for others. Every good thing you do for them will come back to you ten folds.

If you live simply, patiently, ad compassionately, happiness will manifest itself to you.

4. Guard your tongue.

“Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.”

They say you speak the most when you keep silent. Do it when needed. At times, it may be the smartest thing to do. Try not to speak ill of others as well. If you find something that can demean others, refrain from saying it. It wouldn’t help to either of you. For you do not know everything behind what you seem to know.

Welcome the power of silence and use it to your own advantage. This way happiness is at your side.

5. Wait for the right action to take.

“Do you have the patience to wait until your mud settles and the water is clear?”

Don’t grab the opportunity for a dramatic change. Wait. Listen. Settle. Take the appropriate action when things get clear. Learn to stick through the hurdles. It may be that holding on is the best action to take.

6. Never expect something in return.

“Act without expectation.”

If you have the will to do something for others, do so without expectations. Your actions shouldn’t be measured by what you receive in return. If you’ve done something good for others, don’t expect for praise. You’ll never lose anything when you give without expecting anything in return. This brings you greater happiness.

7. Have a joyful soul.

“Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.”

When your soul is joyful, you emit frequencies that can make the universe sings with you. You create music that reaches the ears of the stars. Everyone around you will benefit from your joyful soul. It may even be possible that the music your heart creates could heal anyone from their sufferings.

8. Be nice despite.

“Respond intelligently even to unintelligent treatment.”

Sometimes we think we deserve a much better treatment. A harsh reality is, others are rude. Yet in most cases, it has nothing to do with us. It has something to do with them. The best way to respond to another’s rudeness is to understand them. Maybe they need to be reminded of their own niceness. Most often, the gift of niceness is the only key that could unlock a person’s bolted emotions. Rise up to every situation. When you do, you’d be happy because guilt is not on your side.

Conclusion

Take into heart these eight ways and incorporate them into your daily life. Lao-Tzu spent his entire life unraveling the mysteries of life. These ways were critical to him in a person’s well-being. If followed rightly, your life would be filled with everlasting happiness.

According To A Recent Psychological Study, This Is The One Biggest Cause For Depression…

0

In a recent scientific study by LeMoult, J., et. al, it was stated that “…negatively biased self-referential processing contributed unique variance to the likelihood of experiencing a depressive episode over the next 3 years.”

But if we were to analyze the meaning of these words, we would discover an incredibly self destructive habit that most, if not all of us, consciously and subconsciously indulge in – self criticism.

Self criticism is the main reason behind depression in most people!Biggest Cause For Depression

I’m sure a lot of you can identify with noticing a mistake that you’ve made, and berating yourself silently for it. Or walking past a mirror and finding yourself stopping by to dissect your flaws.

We all do it, and the worst part is, often we don’t even realize that we have been doing it. That’s what makes self criticism so much more harmful – the ease with which we lapse into it.

Even the most confident of us do it from time to time. Some people like to think that it keeps them attentive, but all it does is bring out your flaws in microscopic detail solely for yourself. The lasting effect it has on your psyche, the way it induces negativity and stress, outweighs whatever good could come from self criticism. All it does is harm our mental health.

Studies conducted about the connection between self criticism and depression all come to the same conclusion!Reason For Depression

Recently, there was a study conducted by researchers from Stanford University and University of Southern California, to look more closely at the relationship between self criticism and depression, and more specifically, connections in negatively biased self-referential processing, negative life events, baseline depressive symptoms and psychotropic medication, and relapsing depression.

In this case, a ‘self referential process’ is when we try to decipher stimuli induced in us, in reference to ourselves, and as a direct result of our actions. Not surprisingly, the simple act of enabling our self criticizing tendencies makes simpler the path for depression to set in. Or, to put it directly, self criticism itself enables a quicker onset of depression, and repeatedly so.

To further explore this relationship between the presence of a negative self image and the occurrences of episodic depression, a study enlisted a hundred women who had been concretely diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder, and were in the full remission state, i.e., they had not been actively depressed for at least two months.

These women were subjected to a sequential process causing exposure to a set of stimuli that were inherently mood altering.

The first step was the induction of a ‘negative mood state’, by showing clips from movies where the characters were suffering or in problem, and then scaling the mood of the spectating women from one to five.

Next, they used software to ‘encode’ these reflective and self inflicting attitudes, surveying the tendency of the participants of the study to analyze their responses to affirmations. A twenty one part questionnaire was used to list and detail the depressive symptoms, if they were experiencing any.

After this, the process was extensively and finely looked into, conducting repeated psychological assessments every one and a half year, for three years, so as to get a comprehensive picture.

The major point that was clearly observed was stated as more negative self-referential processing at baseline (measurements) significantly increased the likelihood that formerly depressed individuals would experience a recurrent MDE (Major Depressive Episode) over the next 3 years.

This means that a person who at a resting state criticizes his/her self more, is at much higher likelihood of having relapses of depressive episodes, quite simply put.

And despite so many variables related to the people in the study, like occurrence of negatively influencing life events, pharmacologically induced events, the level of their baseline depression symptoms, and their own tendencies for negative self reflection, the study could still clearly observe a direct path from having a negative self image to relapsing depression, even with other influencing factors being present or absent.

This only served to reinforce what other previous studies have also concluded – there is definite linkage between a negative self image and the repeated occurrences of depression, even more so in youth, children, and adolescents.

And these findings held fast across variations like age, race, income strata, level of professional education, certain cultural factors, and relationship or marital status.

So where do we go from here?Depression

It’s obviously not a clear path. We need to analyze the cause-effect relationship between depression and negative self image, obviously, so as to better treat depression. But the first step has already been clarified for us to see. This tendency for negative self analysis should be nipped in the bud in any case of episodic depression.

And it is essential to any process of intervention, to discourage the practice of self criticism. It is absolutely essential, whether the person suffers from clinical depression, or is just going through a low patch.

Self betterment need not come at the cost of a damaged self image. And there is no one this applies more to than people who are already recovering from a major depressive episode.

While the survey leaves us with the clinical facts, implementing the conclusion falls on the shoulders of mental health professionals – and our own.

We need to re-teach ourselves the process of self evaluation without self criticism. That will, in the end, be the only healthy way to truly grow.

Constantly snipping away at ourselves from the inside is not conducive to any positive change, indeed, any change at all that can sustain itself over time.

And people who have depression should be doubly careful of this. Depression already makes it difficult for people to sustain a good self image. Why let yourself make it worse?

Here are some ways you can stop yourself, if you find yourself in this thought process:

– Take a step back and try to see the situation from a third person perspective. Is any of what you’re proposing right, or helpful? Is this what you would tell your best friend, if they needed advice?

– Don’t be afraid to stop your thoughts and reflect, are they even true, or are you being swayed by emotion? Does a rationale for such thought exist? And if it doesn’t, eliminate it on the spot.

– Physical distance helps where mental distance is difficult to find. Get up, drink water, take a short walk. Change your input of the world for a few minutes to break the cycle.

– If the confusion persists, take up an activity that engages your mind in a different way, like exercise, or a hobby that you love.

– Surround yourself with positive influences. And don’t be afraid if it takes time – it’s healthy to go slow but go strong.

– Love yourself – because you must, and just the way you are. And if there’s an aspect of yourself you don’t love, fix it, don’t pick at it mentally.

Arriving At The Fifth Dimension:Quantum Upgrades

You are a cosmic surfer riding on waves of quantum evolution. As the activation heightens, the days drag you down. You must never be overcome by this phenomenon. Drink lots of water, swim, or bath. The water clears and cleanses your energetic field.

You experience a deeper sense of connection with mind, body, and soul. You move beyond perception. You are a part of everything that happens in the world, whether it fluctuates or breathes.

Out of body experiences, deep breathing, spontaneous stretching, and intense shaking are some of the experiences felt during upgrades. It may seem to be a wild experience as you feel the Chakra activations. Never fight it. Just flow with these upgrades.

Rebooting and realigning your structural makeup are necessary. Bring your energetic being online by freeing from blockages the flow of energy through your Chakras. You will feel looser, more flexible and driven by power from within.

As a healer, a teacher, or an earth warrior, you are being pushed further into fifth dimension expansion: the zen state of peace and serenity. In this state, everything feels beautiful, compassionate, and just while operating within the matrix.

The matrix could be aggressive and hostile, never passive. Many factors would threaten to drag you down: global politics, horror stories presented daily, personal dramas and challenges. All these destroy the Zen. But you must not allow it to manipulate you.

Your role:

You are a light warrior. As a warrior, you have to stand up front and be ready to fight. Fight for love, light, and peace. Fight with your energy and healing. Light the way. Get up when you fall. Rest and haul yourself back up should you lose your will.

It may seem small, but you must aspire to spread love in all your interactions. Avoid negative energy. Listen to your own energetic system. Trust your gut responses. Spark that inner light within you for others to see. Share love, spread light and raise vibrations wherever you go.

You may bounce back and forth, up and down the frequency spectrum like a pinball, yet you have the ability to reach the higher dimensions. You must overcome too, the tendency of crashing back to earth literally.

The transition:

The matrix is further disabled by intensive evasive actions, as well as diversions and divisive tactics. These leads to a dark and stormy transition, unstable and unpredictable.

But you have the power to ground it with mindfulness, replenishing and realigning your mind, body and soul systems with self-care. You must embrace, integrate, recalibrate, and own these cosmic upgrades.

What you need to do:

Use the tools of holistic healing and nature. Follow the rules of engagement that can guide you. Take the full responsibility of your light.

Should you find your energy is off, your juju heavy and grimy, you need to stay home. Avoid contact, seek rest, solitude, hydration, and soul tribe nourishment. Be back when you’re fully replenished.

Your mission on earth is not one big clash. The battle between good and evil is ongoing daily. You just have to be constantly present, mindful, grateful and grounded.

Expand your consciousness with energy work, healing, and meditation. You must work on core balance, meditate love frequency regularly to raise vibrations and stay connected to guides.

The battle has begun, and you are in it.

Your mission:

Humanity needs you. Let it see itself in your eyes. Show it compassion, humility, hope, and love. You set the energy and the wavelength. Set the frequency and maintain it all through the day with mantras, breathing, protection and healing. Even smiling helps.

Trust your third eye and gut instincts. Never be fooled by appearances and programming. Be assured that you are not alone. You have help and guidance.

Always stay calm, protected and pay attention to self-care.

How to protect your home:

Create a perimeter of crystals in your home. Use sage to smudge. As you place the crystals and smudge repeat this mantra: ‘I cleanse and clear this home from all lower vibrations’.

Use these Mantras:

‘I embrace all upgrades appropriate for me under the protection of my higher self.

I am a being of light, compassion and love.

I send love to *** (repeat three times for each person including yourself).’

Namaste.

Why You Should Stop Telling Your Kids To Stop Picking Their Nose

0

There might be an unconscious reason your child picks their nose when they’re hungry or bored.

Boogers could be able to fight cavities as well as the common cold and our desire to eat the gooey things might be a subconscious reaction to defending ourselves from these common health problems.

So, next time your child sticks a finger in their nose, consider leaving them alone; they might be intuitively protecting themselves from common health problems.

Boogers Fight Cavities

A study by Frenkel and Ribbeck, in the journal of Applied and Environmental Microbiology, looked at cavity causing Streptococcus mutans (S. Mutans) and a key component of boogers, MUC5B, and found that snot might coat your teeth, protecting them from harm. [1]

S. Mutans are bacteria which bind and feed of the sugar on your teeth the produce an acidic by-product which erodes the enamel on your teeth, leading to cavities. [1]

However, boogers keep S. Mutans in the planktonic phase making it more difficult for them to attach to teeth and erode enamel. MUC5B reduced attachment by 88% on the glass and 77% hydroxyapatite discs. Therefore, if our teeth are protected by that mucus, S. Mutans are less likely to attach to them and can’t produce acid which contributes to tooth decay. [1]

With all that said, it’s still better to consult a dental expert so they can guide you on how you can prevent cavities. A quick Google search for a term like “best dental implants Lexington” or “dentist near me” should give you some options.

Snot Prevents the Common ColdsStop Telling Kids To Stop Picking Their Nose

A Canadian biochemist, Scott Napper, believes that the sweet taste of snot and our habitual consumption of it might indicate a benefit in boogers that we recognize subconsciously. [2]

In our over-sanitized world, we’ve seen an influx of allergies and some believe this is because we’re are not naturally protected from bacteria and germs anymore. We avoid germs systemically by frequently showering, washing our hands, and using effective soaps. This means our bodies aren’t given much opportunity to build antibodies and deal with problems regularly. [2]

Eating snot could be one way young kids “test” their bodies. Mucus catches dust, germs, and bacteria that tries to get into our body and when they eat these germs diluted in mucus, their bodies have an extra chance to recognize it in small doses. [2]

What does this mean for colds? Well, colds are a reaction to invaders, as it raises your temperature and inflames parts of your body like the sinuses it disposes of the harmful viruses and bacteria. However, Napper thinks that allowing your body to recognize these viruses and bacteria in small doses gives your body a chance to eliminate it without much effort as it has already produced antibodies for these invaders when they arrive in larger doses. [2]

So, as more research is done, maybe we’ll find out that our snot isn’t supposed to be blown out of your nose and thrown into the garbage, but it’s a superfood meant to be eaten whenever the desire strikes (Kidding!).

Natural Remedies to Use if Boogers Still Gross You Out

Even after hearing the potential benefits of snot, you still might be unconvinced or you’re just grossed out. And after decades of social conditioning and because of proper etiquette, picking your nose might not seem worth it. So, here are some other ways to help your family naturally fight cavities and colds.

Cavity Fighting Alternatives

Other than brushing your teeth with potentially harmful fluoride toothpaste and poisonous mouthwashes there are some healthy ways to stop your pearly whites from turning into rotting yellows.

Coconut Oil toothpaste and oil pulls are effective antimicrobials which can strip S. Mutans away without any dangerous chemicals. [3]

Apples are also good for cleaning our teeth by assisting saliva and using flavonoids to inhibit bacteria. [4]

Cranberries also have flavonoids which stop S. Mutans from sticking to your teeth. An added benefit to cranberries is that they stop e.coli from attaching to your bladder wall to prevent urinary tract infections. [4]

Lastly, it’s not just about what you put in your diet, it’s about what you take out. Foods to avoid are: [5]

  • High sugar foods like chewing gum, candy, and soda
  • Sugary Breakfast cereals
  • Sauces and syrups

Therefore, you really don’t need to eat your boogers to stop cavities if you’re willing to change your diet a little.

Cold Stopping Techniques

Most people address their cold after the fact with dangerous medications. However, there are definitely a few ways to numb the effects of a cold before you have to stoop to that level.

Drinking water and teas can help you stay hydrated to prevent dryness, and flush everything out while thinning out your mucus to ease congestion. [6]

Avoid sugary juices like orange juice. You don’t want the added sugars which make it hard for the body to fight the infection. Instead, eat whole fruits if you want vitamin C while only getting natural sugars with some wholesome dietary fibers. [6]

Drink and eat soup, because not only is it comforting but the warmth can break some of your mucus up, and many soups are easy to drink with a sore throat. They are also a good way to get some nutrients you might be lacking. [6]

Lastly, cooking with ginger or drinking ginger tea can really produce some benefits as it is an anti-inflammatory, and can be easily incorporated into a cold-fighting dish. [6]

Here are a few more ways to fight your cold:

Conclusion

While it might not be necessary to add picking your nose to your daily health routine, witnessing a pick from your child every once in awhile might be offering more benefits than you thought.

At the very least, the research on mucus and its benefits shows us that our bodies have almost everything they need to survive as long as we take care of our bodies and feed it properly.
