Australia's Water Quality: Is Your Drinking Water Safe?

Troubled Waters: Is Your Drinking Water Safe? Disturbing news has come to light regarding the quality of tap water in parts of New South Wales, the ACT, Queensland and Victoria. These regions have been found to have levels of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) in their tap water. The World Health Organization classifies these man-made chemicals as likely carcinogenic, raising serious concerns about their presence in our drinking water. Further amplifying these concerns is the stark difference in regulations between Australia and the US. While the US has declared any level of PFOS and PFOA unsafe for consumption, Australia's current standards allow for PFOA levels a staggering 140 times higher. This discrepancy, coupled with the potential health risks, highlights the need for stricter regulations and a focus on ensuring safe drinking water for all Australians.

Heal Faster and Feel Better with Red Light Therapy Red light therapy (RLT) is beneficial for boosting your overall well-being. It goes beyond just treating skin concerns and offers a range of benefits that can improve your health and daily life. Red light therapy - also known as photobiomodulation (PBM) - is a non-invasive therapy that delivers the same wavelengths of red and near-infrared light as natural sunlight to your skin and to your cells, creating cellular energy boosts. Published medical studies have shown its positive effects on sleep, anti-aging, depression and anxiety, autoimmune conditions, recovery from exercise and much more. Red light therapy uses two types of light: red and near-infrared. Red light (visible): This has a shorter wavelength (600nm-800nm) and works on the surface of the skin.

So, if we're already earthing to take in the natural electromagnetic frequencies that our earth provides, then we are giving our body the important natural EMFs which it needs for health and wellbeing. At the same time, we're recognising that our day-to day operations increasingly rely on technologies to help us communicate, travel and create comfort in our modern lives. These artificial tecnologies run 24/7 through our homes and communities which can be exposing us to more unnatural levels of EMF/EMR than our bodies are used to. What more can I do to balance my exposure to EMR in my environment? Smart use of technology to further reduce the EMR in our modern lives As future living includes widespread technology so too does... continue reading
Take Time Out for Nature

Taking time out for nature is the theme of this year's Earth Hour campaign. Earth Hour famously started as a lights out event right here in Sydney, Australia in 2007. The initial grassroots movement saw Sydneysiders turn off their lights for an hour to encourage people to take action on climate change and spark conversations for ways to protect our planet. Since then, Earth Hour has grown to be a global movement with millions of supporters in more than 185 countries. Earth Hour 2023 will be held on Saturday March 25, and the theme of 'Time Out for Nature' encourages us to reflect on the incredible benefits that nature provides us. By spending more time in nature, we learn to appreciate not only the beauty of nature but the positive effects we can experience by being immersed within it. Modern society, the lure of devices and the increasing demands of work mean that we are more disconnected than ever before from our natural surr... continue reading

After talking to quite a few people the last couple of weeks, it is apparent that we lead such busy lives these days and many of us just don’t get the time to go barefoot outside for a considerable amount of time and consistently. And I hear you – if it wasn’t for my indoor Earthing products I would be the same. When you get sick the first place you go to is the Doctor who will usually do blood tests and more, looking for answers. A lot of the time the tests come back with high levels of inflammation and you are given a name for your illness and more than likely placed on medication to ease the symptoms but really t... continue reading
