Christchurch could end up with six new faces in Parliament, depending which way special votes go.

Former television producer Reuben Davidson, small business owner Laura Trask, freshwater ecologist Lan Pham and health researcher Hamish Campbell have all made it as either electorate or list MPs, and they all have Christchurch top of mind.

You could also add a doctor to the list if National’s Vanessa Weenink manages to hold on to her majority in Banks Peninsula after the special votes are counted.

Kahurangi Carter, the Green Party’s candidate for Christchurch Central, is another waiting on the results of the specials to confirm her place.

In Norse mythology Tree of life (Yggdrasil) is an eternal green ash tree that connects all nine worlds and is the centre of life and the spiritual cosmos.

One of its roots lies in Asgard, the home of gods, while the other is in Hel, the underworld of Norse mythology. The third root is in Midgard, the realm of mortal men. This way, Yggdrasil connects worlds of mortal, divine and dead.

Wearing shungite stone pendants on a daily basis can relieve pain in neck and head. This stylish accessories will also be a source of positive energy that will contribute to your well-being.

Earthing/Grounding - Reconnect to Mother Nature to restore and Maintain Health

Rae from Rangiora

Hello Neighbours

Hello Neighbours
I am totally in love with Earthing/Grounding. "WHY"? I hear your ask, well I will tell you.
Grounding is a practice whereby individuals are put in direct contact with the surface of the Earth. It includes walking barefoot outdoors, swimming in the oceans and lakes or sleeping, working and relaxing indoors with bare skin in contact with conductive mats, pillows etc, in order to maintain the body at Earths electric potential.
(I have a grounding mat under my bare feet while at my computer)

The earths negative electric surface charge is virtually limitless reservoir of free electrons that is constantly replenished by the global atmospheric electric circuit. The Earthing hypothesis states that when direct skin contact is made with the Earths surface or a ground system indoors, the body's electric potential equalises with the Earths potential thereby maintaining the body's access to the earths negative surface charge (electrons). This contact prevents build-up of static electric charge on the body and allows the body to store a supply of electrons.

Published research indicates that grounding yields a broad array of intriguing positive changes within the physiology and bioelectrical construct of the body. Multiple reported benefits include the following.

Improved sleep, decreased pain, a normalising effect on cortisol, reduction of stress, diminished damage to muscles caused by delayed onset of muscle soreness, lessening indicators of osteoporosis, and improved thyroid function, glucose regulation, immune response, and blood fluidity. WOW!

But what I want to show you today is the benefits that grounding has on our face! Increased blood flow to the face is seen as a major natural way to rejuvenate the skin of the face. A study was done on grounded and ungrounded subjects at BioMed IRB of San Diego.

“The results demonstrate, for the first time, that even one-hour contact with the earth restores blood flow regulation to the face that may enhance skin tissue repair, health and vitality, and optimise facial appearance, which may also have broad implications for overall cardiovascular function and health.”

If there are improvements on the exterior while you ground, it’s because there are improvements to the interior.

Every day is Earth Day!

Type I shungite is called noble or elite shungite and it contains from 90 to 98 per cent of organic carbon in it. Elite shungite nuggets have shiny silvery surfaces and have a high energetic potential due to the high percentage of carbon.

Elite shungite stones appear to be a perfect natural healer and energy stabilizer. The nuggets of this stone are frequently sold in its original form since they are very fragile. You can have an elite shungite nugget near your working space or a bed while sleeping in order to provide a comprehensive protection against geopathic influence or you can have a small elite shungite nugget in your pocket or a small jewelry item to protect yourself from the electro-magnetic frequency (EMF) radiation effect in your everyday life.

Besides, elite shungite has proven to have a powerful energetic field to help you keep your body and soul in harmony and you can use small elite shungite nuggets in order to make an energized shungite water to keep yourself healthy and balanced.
