Persevere and Thrive

Inpatient DPT. Currently trying to realize my dreams and live the life I have imagined.

It’s wild to think that when we walk barefoot on the earth, electrons are being absorbed through our feet meaning we’re gaining antioxidants. These electrons are neutralizing reactive oxygen species which reduces inflammation, the root cause of so many different diseases. Earthing is improving stress levels, sleep, and pain and it’s stabilizing the electrical environment of our organs, tissues, and cells. 

Our bodies rely on the earth and we are completely isolated ourselves from it. I know it sounds laughable to think that just walking barefoot has benefits but when you begin to dive deeper into the connection between the earth, ourselves and our health, it doesn’t just sounds like hippie poetry anymore. It’s science.

I'm back! Kind of? Maybe?

Hi everyone!

I don't even know who all is on here still! Over a year ago my password expired and of course the email I used for this account I hadn't used in >8 years soooo I just gave up with resetting my password and decided it was time to move on. But, I was curious, and found a way to get it back today!

So, here I am.

A little update I guess?

- I still live in northern CO and absolutely love it. Spend my summers outside camping & hiking with my boyfriend and our dogs and winters snowboarding!

- I've been dating my boyfriend for just about a year now, and we're planning on moving into a new house together at some point this year. He's very genuine, warm, kind, funny, can fix anything, loves doing all the outdoors things I do, has 2 dogs who are the best (well, second best compared to my dog.. haha. Our little blended family)

- I'm (obviously) still a physical therapist, though I got a new job and work at the regional hospital in acute care and I absolutely love it! Of course working a lot of ~covid~ and sick of that but aren't we all

- This year I'm really trying to focus on slowing things down, investing more time/energy/love in what I have and the people that mean the most, eating a more nutrient dense diet, and getting more sun

Things are great this days. Hope you all are doing well too, I know none of us have escaped the past year or so unscathed from the world but wishing you all peace and happiness.

Going on a date tonight- first date since covid hit 😬. This is the most excitement I’ve had in my romantic life since March and even if it doesn’t turn into anything I’m looking forward to meeting someone I’m genuinely interested in getting to know better! We talked on the phone last night because #covid soooo does that mean this is our second date?? Jkjk

Researchers have used Easter Island Moai replicas to show how they might have been “walked” to where they are displayed.

Finally. People need to realize aliens aren’t the answer for everything (when they use it to erase poc civilizations and how smart they were)

What’s really wild is that the native people literally told the Europeans “they walked” when asked how the statues were moved. The Europeans were like “lol these backwards heathens and their fairy tales guess it’s gonna always be a mystery!”

[kiwianaroha]

Maori told Europeans that kiore were native rats and no one believed them until DNA tests proved it

And the Iroquois told Europeans that squirels showed them how to tap maple syrup and no one believed them until they caught it on video

Oral history from various First Nations tribes in the Pacific Northwest contained stories about a massive earthquake/tsunami hitting the coast, but no one listened to them until scientists discovered physical evidence of quakes from the Cascadia fault line.

Roopkund Lake AKA “Skeleton Lake” in the Himalayas in India is eerie because it was discovered with hundreds of skeletal remains and for the life of them researchers couldn’t figure out what it was that killed them. For decades the “mystery” went unsolved.

Until they finally payed closer attention to local songs and legend that all essentially said “Yah the Goddess Nanda Devi got mad and sent huge heave stones down to kill them”. That was consistent with huge contusions found all on their neck and shoulders and the weather patterns of the area, which are prone to huge & inevitably deadly goddamn hailstones. https://www.facebook.com/atlasobscura/videos/10154065247212728/

Literally these legends were past down for over a thousand years and it still took researched 50 to “figure out” the “mystery”. 🙄

Adding to this, the Inuit communities in Nunavut KNEW where both the wrecks of the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror were literally the entire time but Europeans/white people didn’t even bother consulting them about either ship until like…last year. 

“Inuit traditional knowledge was critical to the discovery of both ships, she pointed out, offering the Canadian government a powerful demonstration of what can be achieved when Inuit voices are included in the process.

In contrast, the tragic fate of the 129 men on the Franklin expedition hints at the high cost of marginalising those who best know the area and its history.

“If Inuit had been consulted 200 years ago and asked for their traditional knowledge – this is our backyard – those two wrecks would have been found, lives would have been saved. I’m confident of that,” she said. “But they believed their civilization was superior and that was their undoing.”

“Oh yeah, I heard a lot of stories about Terror, the ships, but I guess Parks Canada don’t listen to people,” Kogvik said. “They just ignore Inuit stories about the Terror ship.”

Schimnowski said the crew had also heard stories about people on the land seeing the silhouette of a masted ship at sunset.

“The community knew about this for many, many years. It’s hard for people to stop and actually listen … especially people from the South.”

Indigenous Australians have had stories about giant kangaroos and wombats for thousands of years, and European settlers just kinda assumed they were myths. Cut to more recently when evidence of megafauna was discovered, giant versions of Australian animals that died out 41 000 years ago.

Similarly, scientists have been stumped about how native Palm trees got to a valley in the middle of Australia, and it wasn’t until a few years ago that someone did DNA testing and concluded that seeds had been carried there from the north around 30 000 years ago… aaand someone pointed out that Indigenous people have had stories about gods from the north carrying the seeds to a valley in the central desert.

[fluffmugger]

oh man let me tell you about Indigenous Australian myths - the framework they use (with multi-generational checking that’s unique on the planet, meaning there’s no drifting or mutation of the story, seriously they are hardcore about maintaining integrity) means that we literally have multiple first-hand accounts of life and the ecosystem before the end of the last ice age

it’s literally the oldest accurate oral history of the world.  

Now consider this: most people consider the start of recorded history to be with  the Sumerians and the Early Dynastic period of the Egyptians.  So around 3500 BCE, or five and a half thousand years ago These highly accurate Aboriginal oral histories originate from twenty thousand years ago at least

[ironbite4]

Ain’t it amazing what white people consider history and what they don’t?

[gluklixhe]

I always said disservice is done to oral traditions and myth when you take them literally. Ancient people were not stupid.
