Spiritual Growth & Ascension

I am delighted to welcome everyone to this Sacred Website - City Of Shamballa, where we help each other with our spiritual growth, upliftment, & healing by giving each other loving support and by sharing meditations, spiritual practices, Reiki, and healings.
 
And you are also welcome to share any blockages or problems in your spiritual journey, for we may be able to help you and extend Divine Love & Light, Healing, and Wisdom on what you are experiencing.
 
We are all divinely connected to one another, for God's Presence resides within every human being.
 
And all awakened souls are helping manifest our 5th dimensional world by continuing to unfold and embody our own Divine Presence through our spiritual practices and the Divine Healings we all need.
 
So sharing our visions of the new 5th dimensional world we are all creating...and sharing our experiences and spiritual practices that are helping us in our own spiritual journey and healing are important in our website.
 
My vision is to create a world where everyone is living in peace and joy and abundance with all of humanity having realized and embodied their Divine Self.
 
So everyone - feel free to share your Divine Love, Light, Healing Energies,  & Wisdom here with posts that help uplift us all, or in any way your Divine Heart guides you to share with us.
 
I extend to All of You Mother/Father/God's Supreme Blessings Divinely Perfect for each of you for your life, for your healing, and for your spiritual growth.

7 Reasons to Love Pomegranates (and Juice)
posted by Michelle Schoffro Cook


Pomegranates. These delicious fruits offer more than just incredible taste, they are anti-aging and anti-cancer powerhouses. Here are 7 reasons to add pomegranates or pomegranate juice to your diet.


1. They are anti-cancer powerhouses. Studies show protection again breast and lung cancers and a slowing of prostate cancer progression.


2. They protect your DNA. Compounds in pomegranates also appear to interact with the body’s genetic material for protection.


3. They reduce the effects of aging. Pomegran¬ates are packed with the antioxidant vitamin C—antioxidants help counter free radicals linked to aging and disease.


4. Pomegranates also contain the healing phytonutrients polyphenols and ellagic acid.


5. Pomegranate has been shown to be beneficial for osteoarthritis.


6. Pomegranate may help protect against heart disease by preventing plaque build-up. Pomegranate also lowers LDL cholesterol (the bad cholesterol) and raises HDL cholesterol (the good one). In people with high blood pressure, research shows that drinking only 1.7 ounces of pomegranate juice per day lowered systolic blood pressure by 5%.


7. It may prevent or slow the progression of Alzheimer’s disease. In one study, mice that were bred to develop Alzheimer’s disease accumulated significantly less amyloid plaque and performed better on mental tasks than control mice.

 


Here are some simple ways to enjoy pomegranates and pomegranate juice:


• You can eat them fresh or drink unsweetened bottled pomegranate juice. For the latter, I recommend diluting 1 part water to 1 part pomegranate juice to avoid blood sugar spikes and crashes that can happen with any juice.


• Mix 1 part pomegranate juice with 1 part sparkling water for an incredible spritzer.


• I sometimes use a splash of pomegranate juice in my salad dressing for incredible anti-aging benefits and to jazz up a plate of greens.


• I also throw a handful of pomegranate berries on top of a salad for an extra kick.
