This Russian cosmonaut, left the planet strong and healthy but returned to Earth in near critical condition after just one hour and forty-eight minutes in orbit; simply because his body had been deprived of earth's Pulsing Electro-
Magnetic-Field (PEMF). His bodily functions were shutting down because he left the natural environment that supports normal cellular functions. Hence the birth of PEMF.

“Retrain Your Brain- Understanding the RAS”
Solo Episode—
So here’s a little disclaimer in today’s show we’re gonna talk a little science-meets-wellness. Im not a scientist .... but I’m a wellness geek so A few years ago I heard about the RAS and became fascinated. When I began researching and understanding this part of the brain and it unexpectedly helped me understand myself. Its a profoundly helpful tool in my humanity toolbox, and I’m so excited to talk about the Reticulating Activating System. (RAS)
Its a bundle of nerves 2 inches long, the width of the tip of a pencil eraser at the base of your neck the top of your spinal column. But essentially the RAS is a filter... Every bit of information gets funnelled through the RAS (Except smell) it’s the bridge that connects the subconscious part of your brain To the conscious part of your brain. Most importantly this filter can be programmed, to help us live a more beautiful life💜
