Topic: Spiritual Awakenings 

Hi everyone and welcome back to our Thursday Q &A show. Welcome to the Year of the Snake. Today we’re going to be talking about signs of spiritual awakenings in this very year, this very powerful, potent year, it feels like. And when we’re talking about spiritual awakenings, we’re not really talking about religion or anything formal. We’re talking about an awakening inside of you into your most truest expression. So this could be at work, this could be authenticity pouring forth in your communication, in your friendships, in your romantic relationship with your kids, with your pets, just feeling a different sense of energy in your body. And it feels like so much has happened since the beginning of the year, formerly in the Western calendar, we’ll say the Gregorian calendar, which was of course January 1st.

The lunar calendar, the year of the snake birthed January 29th. And I’ll be sharing a little bit more on today’s show about my experience the last five, six weeks, which has been really intense being in LA with the fires coming within half a mile of my home on three sides, our kids school burning, this rebirth energy that feels really powerful, some things that have been happening in my body we’ll talk about some of the research out there around Kundalini awakenings, So this snake energy has also been talked about in Vedic scriptures about the energy coming up your spine.

STUDIES AND RESEARCH

A 2021 study published in Journal of Conscious Research  examined the nature of spontaneous Spiritual Awakenings (SSAs) and Spontaneous Kundalini Awakenings (SKAs). The study aimed to understand the phenomenological differences between these experiences and their effects on well-being. Findings suggested that while both SSAs and SKAs can lead to profound personal transformation, SKAs may be associated with more intense physical sensations and challenges  It also found that common features such as intensified perception, feelings of connection, and profound inner peace increased with meditation, exposure to nature, and near-death experiences.

A 2022 Study in the Journal of Transpersonal Psychology on the Kundalini tradition explored the psychological and transformative aspects of spiritual awakening. The study highlighted that such awakenings often involve intense energy experiences and can result in profound personal growth and psychological change.

A 2022 study in the Journal of Scientific Research focused on spiritual awakenings among scientists and academics. Despite initial skepticism and a predominantly materialistic worldview in these professions, the research highlighted that spiritual experiences can lead to significant shifts towards a more holistic understanding of reality, integrating both scientific and spiritual understandings.

A 2013 Study in the Journal of Meditation Research on Buddhist meditation practices examined their impact on neurophysiology. The study found that different stages of meditation could either increase or decrease arousal levels. Early stages might induce fatigue, while advanced stages promote heightened wakefulness, suggesting a complex, nonlinear trajectory in meditative progress.

A 2018 study by Yale University identified specific brain regions associated with spiritual experiences. Using neuroimaging techniques, researchers found that certain areas of the brain become active during moments of spiritual contemplation, providing a neurobiological basis for these experiences.

 

TRANSCRIPT

Kimberly Snyder (00:00.568)
Hi everyone and welcome back to our Thursday Q &A show. Welcome to the Year of the Snake. Today we’re going to be talking about signs of spiritual awakenings in this very year, this very powerful, potent year, it feels like. And when we’re talking about spiritual awakenings, we’re not really talking about religion or anything formal. We’re talking about an awakening inside of you into your most truest expression. So this could be at work,

This could be a livening, sort of authenticity pouring forth in your communication, in your friendships, in your romantic relationship with your kids, with your pets, just feeling a different sense of energy in your body. And it feels like so much has happened since the beginning of the year, formerly in the Western calendar, we’ll say the Gregorian calendar, which was of course January 1st.

The lunar calendar, the year of the snake birthed January 29th. And I’ll be sharing a little bit more on today’s show about my experience the last five, six weeks, which has been really intense being in LA with the fires coming within half a mile of my home on three sides, our kids school burning, this rebirth energy that feels really powerful, some things that have been happening in my body.

we’ll talk about some of the research out there around Kundalini awakenings, right? So this snake energy has also been talked about in Vedic scriptures about the energy coming up your spine. And it’s very powerful and there’s so much we’ll get into today. There’s actual research around this, even in scientific contexts. We can see how some scientists have really come to…

be more spiritually awake about the energy that’s running through everything and everyone. And it’s informed their work. And you see this with some of the quantum physicists. You see it with Einstein. There’s a lot that we’ll get into today. It’s gonna be a fascinating show. And I thank you so much for joining us. A little reminder before we go deeper into, please leave a review for the show. It keeps the show going and it’s such a wonderful support. So I thank you from the bottom of my heart. It could be one sentence.

Kimberly Snyder (02:19.316)
Anything is really wonderful to share. And if you could please pass the show to anyone that you think would benefit, you could send a screenshot, you could send a link of this episode or any other episode. Again, it’s just a way to spread the heart, spread the love. So thank you so much in advance. Our show notes will be over at mysaluna.com, which is where we’ll have more information, articles, podcasts I think you would enjoy. You could check out our amazing digestion supplements, our courses. We have a two-day

Heart led Reset program, which I highly recommend, especially if you’re interested in this topic, to really dive into the stirrings of your heart and your soul and to support that with recipes and a bit of mono eating for two days. So you can really create a energetic foundation for yourself to really birth into this really powerful year right now. If you’re listening to this show in real time,

Today, actually, we’re having a free Zoom community event where we will also be celebrating the Year of the Snake. We’ll be doing a live heart align meditation today. If you’re listening to this on February 20th, if you missed it, no worries. Please join our newsletter at mysaluna.com as well, and you will be alerted to future community events and other happenings.

All right, all that being said, I’m very excited to get into today’s topic, the Year of the Snake and Spiritual Signs of Awakening. So our question today comes from Heidi, who lives in Austin, Texas. And Heidi writes, Hello, Kimberly, I’m a big fan of your work. Appreciate everything you do. My question is about going through a spiritual shift in my life. I’ve been going through a rough time and it feels like everything, I felt a shift. Connecting into my spiritual self this year and letting go of old habits and limitations. Can you speak to spiritual shifts and how to navigate? Yes. So perfect time for your question, Heidi. And it’s really interesting the timing of things because things don’t always align to January 1st. I don’t know how you guys feel about this, but sometimes I’m like, eh, I sort of feel this shift happening around the solstice time, which is December. And I definitely felt something then.

Kimberly Snyder (04:40.568)
But then what happened for me was our family got back from Hawaii on January 6th. We actually had a community Zoom for the heart lead reset on January 3rd. It felt wonderful. And then we got back on the 6th and then these fires hit on the 7th. And it was really intense. And then we started to come out of evacuation and things started to get normal, although they’re not normal even now. There’s

mudslides, there’s roads closed, my kids can’t really go back to school. There’s just a lot of things still happening. But then Lunar New Year, Chinese New Year was happening on January 29th. And it isn’t something that I’m always so tuned into. But then this year was the year of the snake and it started to feel so on track with what I was feeling, which was this rebirth energy and this renewal. And

What this, and you may be feeling it too, on some level or in some part of your life, or maybe really majorly as unfeeling. And the snake is a symbolic of a rebirth, the shedding of old skins. So as Heidi you’re talking to in your message, this pattern doesn’t work for me anymore, or this dynamic that in this work or this relationship, I’m just done, right? There’s moments where we just feel like we’re ready to shed and let go.

And we step into a wiser, more authentic, more expansive version of ourselves. And so it’s a really powerful time to reflect and also to trust that sometimes when we’re shedding our skin, it can feel a little bit scary and there’s the unknown that the ego doesn’t like, right? The ego likes to control. It has rigid expectations. These are the energies that keep us locked up in the dark heart.

Right? If you’ve read the Hidden Power, the Five Hearts, this is stage one where we feel a lot of fear. So we sort of clamp down to what we think we know. But I’ll say that one of the biggest things that happened, I think, on a collective scale with these fires is that we realize that we’re really not in control. Even though we think that we are, we think that we can control nature, we can control how things are. And my heart really goes out to

Kimberly Snyder (07:02.518)
So many thousands of people and communities that were really catastrophically affected by these fires. So many people lost their homes, they lost their businesses. There was these communities called El Tadina near Pasadena, which was wiped out and probably never really expected a fire, right? It’s a little bit more urban where it is. And so there’s just so much that can happen in life that…

For me, the energy and the fire came very close to our home and I remember watching it on the fire map. I was staying off the news, but I was watching where the water dumps were happening, where the planes were flying. I was watching the updates on the emergency coalition in our local area. The fire kept coming closer and closer. And so there was a moment where I went into the hallway.

I got away from my kids and my husband and my family. And I just sat in my heart aligned meditation and I went really deeply into my heart. And I think in these times of crisis and also in times of joyment too, but especially in times of crisis, it’s natural as humans, we call out to our spiritual guides, our gurus, or whoever we align with, which is for me the gurus of the Self-Realization Fellowship, which include Jesus, Nogunanda.

Babaji, the angels as well, right? My mother in the spirit well, said, help, help. And there was such a profound sense. I remember the moment, I remember where I was sitting near the stairwell. I was sort of tucked away. We were staying in this little hotel room for a few days and then moved further away. Where I felt a really deep sense of surrender, you know, and peace. And I knew that no matter what was going to happen, whether our house was taken or not,

it was going to be okay and I would find a way through. So as we’ll get into in today’s show and also if you happen to be on the zoom tonight, I believe part of this rebirth into our truest self means the shedding of fear. And I talked to Vidya J. You may have heard some of my shows with him before. He’s my RU Vedic teacher and

Kimberly Snyder (09:17.76)
I called on him in different times and different periods and I’m always interested in the Ayurvedic perspective. One of the things he said to me was working with fire energy has this potential to burn through fear. And this temple we go to in Hawaii is a fire temple and there’s a lot of Shiva temple, Hindu yogic Shiva temple. So there’s a lot of burning prayers.

burning things away, burning away memories that you don’t want to hold on to because we want to be here in the present moment. And so fire has this potential for transformation. And again, I say this with the deepest of compassion. If anyone listening to this has lost their home and their business, it’s so challenging. And I’m going through that on a different scale by losing our children’s really beloved school.

And we already have so many memories of losing the campus and just so much is shifting and changing. And yet we can choose to let this burning go all the way through and allow us to rebirth into something even stronger and more resilient.

And one of the things that Paramahansa Yogananda talks about so much is self-mastery. And sometimes people even refer to Yogananda as master. And not master as in he controlled people, but master as in he was a master of himself. He had deep self-mastery. And one of the ways he defines the self-mastery is that we move through being controlled by turbocharged emotions.

and we’re able to feel them as I talk about in the Hidden Power of the Five Hearts, in the third heart stage, there’s something called steady in life, where we really feel the waves of these big emotions, but then we can come back to the stillness in our hearts, the stillness at the center of us, and we can relax into that stillness, even in the midst of crisis, even in the midst of a fire coming really close to our house. How do we find a way to come into that profound stillness?

Kimberly Snyder (11:33.398)
And from the Sanskrit words means santana or we become liberated from the chitta vritti, from the mind, the fluctuations of all the thoughts and all the stories and all the narratives. And then we come back into stillness where we can focus on the expansiveness inside of us. We can focus on the spirit, which is running through us and around us and everywhere. And back to the title of today’s podcast.

we start to become more spiritually awakened into there’s something so much greater than these everyday happenings. The comings and goings, the emotions that come and go, the dramas which sometimes feel so big in the moment, there’s something actually far greater than any of it. And so we become more and more liberated. And then as we start to birth more, we shed the snake skin of being held down, of being controlled.

by these old patterns and we rebirth into something, again, just so much more free and fearless and again, just liberated into more of our expansive true self. So there is a lot of that in the collective right now, also because it’s laid out in a calendar, astrological terms as the year of the snake.

And I feel like these really big events, whether you live in Los Angeles or not, but because it was such a big event in the collective, the fires, that there’s this, you know, what happens after the fire burns away so much, this potential for transformation. And so what that also means in terms of the year of the snake is what, when we sort of look at everything, we create an awareness of things burning away and things shifting and transforming.

What is it that we want to invite back in? What is it that we want to move away from and let it remain burned and gone forever? And what do we want to lean into or create or expand in our lives? And so there’s a really incredible potential right now. And these big events can very much bring on that sort of…

Kimberly Snyder (13:56.354)
this energy of rebirth. Some other things that can bring on this rebirth energy are other types of near-death experiences, deep emotional pain or trauma coming to the surface. Again, as we start to do the heart-align meditation even, we start to go into the heart, we start to wake up into what’s really happening. We can start to, sometimes trauma and pain comes to the surface and it’s saying, you I wanna shift, I wanna change, I wanna move past this emotional.

trauma and pain, I don’t want to live like this anymore. And that’s the power of spiritual practice is it can create really big shifts and changes, which start on the inside and they start to make their way into our outer world, into our lives. And we can sometimes go through a dark night of the soul, where we say, you know, I thought this was so real, I thought this was so important, I thought this was what my life was going to be like. And then we realize, you know, it’s like an ego death.

this is a part of my identity that’s ready to shed and let go of. I don’t need to buy into this anymore. This isn’t who I really am. And sometimes we can just be still more. We can be in nature. We can feel a deep stillness as we come into our hearts more. And we start to get this internal guidance rising up from inside of us that it is time for something to be shed. It’s time for a new beginning.

We want to shed the old and we want to come into the new. So we don’t know. It’s not a linear path about where this rebirth energy comes from. When we’re ready to move on, when we’re ready to get a divorce or move to a different state, naming it as some really dramatic things right now, or we’re ready to change our job, or could be on a much more subtle level. Maybe we’re just ready to let go of being really impatient or

We want to create more softness and more gentleness in our lives. Or we want to be more appreciative and loving and not feeling like we don’t have time for meditation or we don’t have time to be still, right? These are shifts that can happen in many infinite different forms. So there was a really interesting study from 2021, which we’ll link to in the show notes, published in the Journal of Conscious Research. There is a journal called this that examined the nature of spontaneous spiritual awakenings.

Kimberly Snyder (16:19.808)
and spontaneous Kundalini awakenings. So what it found was that it led to profound personal transformation, but it can also be associated with intense physical sensations and challenges. So along that note, I want to share something with you, which I’ve not shared publicly before about something that’s been going on, two things that have been going on in my body.

And sometimes when we start to tune into the greater meanings of what is going on and we sit with it, we ask this question to our heart, we can start to get the answers. It’s really easy in our culture to run to the doctor or to Google things and start to get really scared. And don’t get me wrong. If you need to get something checked out, definitely get it checked out. Definitely, you know, go to the doctor if you have that inclination to do so.

But sometimes there’s energetic meanings and roots to these physical happenings. So around when the fire started, I started to get a tingling sensation through my left arm and into my left hand. And it was a feeling like, you know when you falls asleep or you sort of get what my little one calls nims and peedles, it’s really cute, it’s supposed to be pins and needles.

but that’s how he says it. So there’s that sensation that the circulation, the blood flow’s been cut off. So it was just happening almost all the time. And when I tuned into it, I felt like it was a rebalancing happening between my left and my right side of the body. And I’m right-handed, so it was almost this always forward motion and moving into achievement and rushing ahead.

And it started to feel like this really deep rebirth of the energies between both hemispheres in my body. And it sounds really metaphysical and it really was. And it’s corrected. But it was interesting because I brought this up to a friend, we had a little circle, and she said, I felt it tingling all across like where her money poor chakra would be across her lower back.

Kimberly Snyder (18:38.722)
And the same thing happened with her. It happened during the fire. It started during the fire. And then it cleared a week or two later. so one of the things that we can tune into is things in our bodies. Our bodies can give us profound messages and where in our body these things are happening. This was one of the reasons that Louise Hayes’ book, You Can Heal Your Life, got put on the map. It was the book that pretty much

propelled her into starting Hay House. I happen to be a Hay House author. My last two books have been published by Hay House, but she has a chart in You Can Heal Your Life about the spiritual metaphysical root of pretty much any physical ailments like conjunctivitis or inflammation or bunions or liver issues. I mean, you can look up pretty much anything and there’s an intuitive aspect of

know, livers associated with anger, for example. So if you have hip pain or, you know, bunions, it’s, you know, fear about moving forward in your life. So the first thing that happened that was really a clue to that there was a rebirth energy very powerfully in my life was this tingling down my left arm. And then another was this irritation, this pain in my eyes and especially in my right eye. And first I thought it was…

you know, chemicals in the air. There was more heavy metals and things in the air in general from the fires and the airborne, again, the toxins that were very much. And there might’ve been a little bit of that, but it started to feel like more. And at one point I did think that if it didn’t clear, I was going to go to the eye doctor, felt like dryness, or maybe there was just something going on. But when I tuned into it, it also felt, felt metaphysical as if my vision.

was opening into something bigger. And there was things that I needed to see in myself and my patterns. And it was about just being even more compassionate with myself and then of course others about experiences and even more shedding of hurry energy, I call it, that can manifest in my life or perfectionism and just seeing the bigger picture. So was almost like a third eye awakening.

Kimberly Snyder (21:04.246)
and it cleared, and it cleared right before I was like, okay, maybe I should go see the, know, the ophthalmologist, the eye doctor, it cleared. So over the next few days, weeks, months, I encourage you to pay even extra attention to your body, which can give you messages. If there’s aches, if there’s pains, if there’s a deeper sense of opening, so two openings I noticed in my own body was,

It just felt like my lungs expanded all of a sudden. I could start taking really deep breaths. And I noticed that there was almost like an energetic opening in my hips because when I was walking, there was this more free flow energy as I was walking on my daily walks. So just notice if you notice a tingling sensation or pain, aches, opening, anything at all in your physical body can be definitely a sign.

that something’s happening. remember when we’re talking about snake, talking about kundalini, we’re talking about this very nonlinear energy. Think about how a snake moves. It moves from a coiled position, which is what yoga talks about. The kundalini energy sort of bound up at the base of your spine. And then as you create more awareness, right, which we can do in many ways, it starts to unlock.

So you start to feel more of this non-linear, this creative flow of energy moving up and out and through you. And it can express in more creativity, more ideas, more feelings of sensuality, sexuality, which isn’t just literally sexual energies, although it can manifest in that way as well, but just more aliveness. As you’re cooking, as you’re playing with your kids, as you’re creating things in your daily life.

Right? This sort of reawakening energy that can be really injected into any project, any sort of thing that you’re doing. Really profound personal growth takes place in these everyday moments of your life. Sometimes I think that we believe it has to be doing this big trip or this big retreat or this big shift in relationship. But I’ve noticed for me, it’s feeling…

Kimberly Snyder (23:23.916)
So much enjoyment if I’m eating a bowl of oatmeal mid-morning or I’m just really tuning into the hummingbird outside the window. And as I’m moving across the room, you can feel more aliveness and more awake-ness in your everyday moments. And this is what life is really made up of. And so that presence, that vitality that comes into your everyday moments can start to come into.

bigger ideas that you act on and work. And that’s also been happening for me as well. We’re going through a really big rebirth with Saluna, which I’m really excited to share with you in the next few weeks and months. We’re gonna be relaunching our new website. And I’ve never been so excited about a new website, which is gonna function so much better. And also a rebrand. Because when I started Saluna, it was in the aftermath of my mom’s passing. And I felt like I was, you know, looking back, it was,

you know, one project of many, and there was a bit of distraction, and I wasn’t as connected to my voice. So this rebirth that’s happening, which is going to affect the way the packaging looks, the way the website looks, our social media, on Saluna, by KS, everything has a vibrancy and a potency and a primalness and a connection to nature and the colors, everything feels explosive, but still this gentleness and this naturalness. And so this rebirth energy,

It’s happening in my body and it’s happening in my brand, Saluna. And it’s happening throughout my family and it’s happening in my hubby’s business. So many different things and shedding of the old and bringing in new alignment and some incredible people and stepping up is happening in his business as well. We’ve been talking about that a lot the last few months because we talk about everything together so much as a couple.

It’s happening in the community. We had a brunch here with our neighbors and some of our friends we hadn’t seen since the fire. And there was just such joy in seeing each other again since going through such an intense experience. So sometimes it’s on a collective scale and sometimes you will feel really intense spiritual experiences inside of you. And other people aren’t going through it, but you can look at your child.

Kimberly Snyder (25:50.186)
or your roommate or your, you know, classmate or your brother, whatever it is with really new refreshed eyes, because the rebirth will affect you and everyone around you.

So I wanted to mention this really interesting study from 2022 in the Journal of Scientific Research that talked about spiritual awakenings among scientists and academics. So despite initial skepticism and predominantly materialistic points of view, the research said that there are many scientists that go through these experiences, even while they’re doing research, that leads to significant shifts towards a more holistic understanding of reality.

And we saw this with Albert Einstein and his quotes, especially later in life, when he started talking about, you know, greater force, that higher intelligence that definitely had to be running through everything. We see this with David Bohm, the quantum physicist who was talking about the oneness, this wholeness as the implicit nature of the universe instead of a fragmented, you know,

more Newtonian point of view where there’s separation. Actually, the oneness that the yogis have spoken about was the truth of how things really were. a very, it’s completely different perspective. And so you start to see that these spiritual awakenings can really shift our entire life’s perspective. And there’s even research talking about, this is from a 2013 study in the Journal of Meditation research.

shows that there’s these awakenings, which you can feel intuitively when you go into your heart and you feel like, okay, there’s something shifting in my life, my perspective, I’m starting to drop this old story, I don’t feel like a victim anymore, I can see the learnings of this, I’m growing into something bigger and stronger and more resilient. It actually does create neuroplasticity and it can even change your gray matter volume in your brain.

Kimberly Snyder (27:59.416)
There can be higher executive functions such as attention, decision-making, and self-regulation in the prefrontal cortex. Your hippocampus can enhance learning and memory. The insula can create different interoception, body awareness, and greater self-awareness. You can create greater emotional regulation through reducing your amygdala so that fear and stress shrink down and you create more stress resilience, right? And we see this with heart coherence.

because your heart, and nervous system are connected. This is why doing the heart aligned meditation, and of course we have the free tracks on our website, mysaluna.com, helps to increase and allow not only emotional regulation, not only nervous system regulation, but I believe more preponderance for these spiritual awakenings because it regulates your system out of stress and fear.

so that more of these natural awarenesses, realizations, miracles, synchronicities can come forward. I talk about this in the clear hearts, which is stage five, where I talk about some amazing happenings in my own life, like running into Deepak Chopra on the street, writing a book with him because of that experience, synchronicities that happen because as we open more into our heart’s power.

we step into more harmony with the greater flow of life. And so we rebirth into something so much more aligned, harmonious, and at the same time more peaceful and more deeply fulfilled because we are in alignment with our truest selves through the heart, not with the ego, not with the mind, not with just trying to control and our very limited viewpoint of what life can be, but this expansive viewpoint of what life can

can be and what we can really create moving forward.

Kimberly Snyder (30:02.444)
So there’s so much more to say here, but I want to focus on what’s key, which is creating more time to relax into the stillness. So doing the heart aligned meditation or just finding more quiet time in your day. And then as you start to get more quiet, you can listen to messages in your body.

It could be pains that are being worked out. You can really say, you know, what’s the energy being held here? And what’s in my jaw? Am I clamping down? I, you know, trying to do too much? Am I thinking too much? And then letting the messages of your body come forward. Doing the heart aligned meditation, maybe twice a day, it’s only eight minutes long. And then sitting in your heart for any intuitive messages and guidance. And then also asking yourself, when am I ready to shed and

clear and let go of. What are old patterns that are ready to be gone now? And then finally, or not finally, but also sitting with big emotions and seeing patterns, the study in life practice, again, the Hidden Power of the Five Hearts book has been really, really powerful for me because what you do is you get coherent, you connect to your heart first.

And it’s a technique for breathing through the emotions so that you are not identified with the emotions. So you are not making decisions from a fear-based place. And this has been so huge and powerful for helping to shift my days and my life. So I encourage you to try all of this and to sit with this energy of the year of the snake and what’s coming up your spine.

what’s coming up inside of you and ready to come up and out and to really listen to your deepest intuition. Sometimes it’s not so linear or rational, like I said, with what was going on with the tingling of my arm, but I feel like there’s incredible ideas coming forward. And it’s really practical. I’ve been reaching out to certain entrepreneurs as well, getting different ideas for Saluna. We’re gonna be trying new things with the rebirth coming up. So this, I share all this with you in my own life to…

hopefully spark some ideas or realizations about your own life. And so much can happen in silence and stillness. This is really where I get my intuitive ideas. This is where I get my best ideas. This is where I feel very deeply connected to myself and my body. So if you’re listening to this and you’re like, well, I don’t really get any messages and I can’t tell what’s going on, I would encourage you to really carve out more time for that.

The other thing is that lifestyle can really support you here and this is why we’ve always drilled in the four cornerstones, food, body, emotional well-being and spiritual growth. We talked about the three so far, listening to your body for these messages about rebirth, spiritual awakening and emotional regulation. Food can be very, very powerful in regulating your energy. So if you haven’t tried our Glowing Greens powder,

I highly recommend that you incorporate it every day as I do to get that balance of minerals, grounding iron, and the B vitamins. And because plants have energy and these plants are highly intelligent, the Amalaki, which is our star ingredient, which is known as the fountain of youth and Ayurveda, Ashitaba, which is known as the forever leaf in Japan, you cut it and it grows, you cut it and it grows. So there’s a regenerative energy and the combination.

of these seven plants that we have in our GGP, our Glowing Greens Powder Formula, and I believe it creates that rebirth energy, especially right now when you’re calling on it.
