Is it a stone or crystal..?
I got it as a gift as an extra from the seller in a parcel I ordered online.
Is it safe? For me astrologically, blue saphhire is safe.
CAN I use this labradorite? What are its uses? How to store energy?
I'm actually not experienced with working with crystals, but I know people who do regularly. From my discussions with them- you shouldn't force a connection between yourself and a stone/crystal. A crystal/stone will "apparently" choose you, and when it doesn't it can be dangerous to use. It's good to know that your natal chart can determine which crystals/stones are safe to use, "apparently" some crystals can react and cause serious health issues. The new age culture of hoarding crystals/stones without any research on compatibility is ineffective and perhaps even dangerous.
You can find unreliable crystal information online so it's best to check yourself. If you feel the crystal isn't resisting a connection with you, you can just cycle your energy into the crystal and back out into you, in through one hand and out the other is typical, observing the energetic qualities of the stone/crystal. If you can't preform this, you probably shouldn't be using crystals/stones.
You'll probably notice that stones and crystals can be an unusual shade and also have a difference in transparency. From what I'm told, colour and transparency are important factors. Because of impurities, crystals and stones have to be considered on an individual basis. Transparency apparently improves energy conductivity and therefore more powerful, probably because a transparent crystal will be more pure than a clouded one.
Keep a look out for Tibetan Tektite, it's one of the best for general purposes spiritually.
Hmm actually cholesterol was high yesterday I went for blood test.. Then afterwards in the noon, I held this stone in my left hand and try to feel anything. Then in the night I was anxious what if and I was anticipating hearr attack cuz was having mild in and in heart but very rarely and occasionally... I was anxious last night that I couldn't swallow saliva which caused my heart beat fast and I felt like fainting and I could see my visions going dark.
I believe this was due to my fear that caused anxiety. Then went to hospital, ECG, OXYGEN, BP, was all normal. Should I take this cholesterol medicine? It is known for causing strokes. I was taking raw garlic everyday since last two days, maybe it also caused this event condition?
This sounds like it could be hyponatremia. Are you getting enough salt and drinking enough water? Are you also getting enough iron? (meat, beans, green veggies, etc?)
Raw Garlic is high in antioxidants which is always good.
I like making muesli (rolled oats, dark chocolate chips, goji berries, almonds, hemp seeds, pumpkin seeds). Dark chocolate and goji berries are high in antioxidants.
Fresh blueberries are excellent. Things like peanuts, pistachios and red grapes are also great. These all contain the antioxidant resveratrol which helps cardiovascular health.
Instead of medication I'd suggest you take Vitamin K2 with D3 (for absorption). K2 helps remove calcium from the bloodstream and D3 helps sequester it into the bones/teeth. Iodine might also help (found in seaweed/dulse, and perhaps taking bile salts with HCL, especially if you experience digestive discomfort. Raw apple cider vinegar is also great for improving digestion and lowering cholesterol.
Also, avoid anything that causes inflammation (sugar, white flour, alcohol, canola oil, palm oil and trans fats). Instead opt for complex carbs, have a balance of both soluble and insoluble fiber, eat plenty of vegetables (greens like spinach and kale are especially good) and/or use organic cold-pressed olive oil and cold-pressed avocado oil (non-organic is good). If you choose to use coconut oil make sure it's also cold-pressed and organic. (The regular stuff is just as bad as palm oil is).
In terms of cholesterol-containing foods, this is one is up to your own research. I personally don't agree with the AHA that high fat diets cause high cholesterol. More likely causes are metabolic dysfunction, chronic infections, gut dysbiosis, poor thyroid function, blood sugar imbalances, poor blood sugar balance, heavy metals or other environmental toxins.
Blood clots contain very little cholesterol and are much higher in minerals. One plausible theory is that inflammation in the arteries leads to damaged arterial walls and clotting (i.e coagulation; nature's band-aid).
There was a great study (The Sydney Diet Heart Study, 1966 - 1973). It was a randomized control trial (which is akin to a gold-standard in research) comparing diets high in ALA (alpha-linoleic) with low saturated fat to diets high in saturated fat. Here's a quote from the conclusion:
"In this cohort, substituting dietary linoleic acid in place of saturated fats increased the rates of death from all causes, coronary heart disease, and cardiovascular disease."
Here's a link to the study: https://www.bmj.com/content/346/bmj.e8707
In conclusion you should do what feels right (in the long-term) and what you believe to be right. I don't agree completely with the keto movement because complex carbs (whole wheat, grains, etc) are released slowly and do not lead to insulin resistance.
That being said, I agree with most of the information. The main thing for me is having a healthy balance of fats (25% of calories at the least), eating plenty of vegetables (the "half-plate" rule), and consuming whole (unprocessed) foods. I also encourage people to filter or distill their water and avoid fluoride (including in toothpaste). This chemical has been shown in studies to accumulate in the pineal gland, which affects a host of functions (melatonin, serotonin, etc). It also can make it more difficult to channel thoughts and energy.
I don't agree with the canivore diet, not unless you're ancestors ate that way (like the eskimos). The vegan diet can equally be healthy, though supplementation is needed for K2 (found in natto), iodine and B-12. I don't think the 80/10/10 diet is any good (too low in fat and protein).
Your protein intake should be your weight in pounds times 0.36 and no greater than x1.1 per pound (for high protein diet, like in bodybuilding). For example, 150 Lbs x 0.36 = 54 grams
Moderation is key. Consider how big gorillas are. 17% of their caloric intake comes from protein.
One serving of meat/fish should be between 4 oz and 8 oz, not these 12-ounce steaks/burgers that are made popular. A good trick to follow: any serving of meat shouldn't be larger than your closed fist.
A final tip - you can track your nutrition for free at cronometer.com
If you make an account, you can customize recipes, input your caloric intake and even customize targets on your macronutrients (thus changing their ratio).
I hope this gives you some information to go on. Also remember to decide for yourself. Don't let either me or your doctor dictate your health choices. Best of luck to you!
