lucid dreaming teas that you can find well number one we have and by the way these are
not in any particular order okay I’m just going to explain the best 10 lucid dreaming teas
so you have things like kalia zzakatttaichinow this originated in Mexico and it’s been known
as people kind of call it different things like it’s been known as being called bitter grass okay
it’s native to kind of Mexico and central America it’s known for hallucinogenic properties as well

hypnagogia sleep hypnagogia which is where you’re kind of in between being asleep and conscious by
the way I do have individual videos for all of these teas and herbs which you can find in

that right now this is cultivated in Ecuador Peru and Colombia and in addition to aiding the dream
experience many people love guy user because it’s packed with caffeine so it brings you
a positive energy boost in more of a long-term sustainable way than coffee because it’s not
going to give you those jitters it’s also a strong antioxidant and it helps with the weight loss
as well now the interesting thing about guayusa is that it has a stimulant effect on the
brain but it also at the same time has almost a sedative effect so this is why it helps you to
lose a dream so well because it keeps you asleep and tired and sedated while at the same time it
stimulates your brain in a certain way that promotes consciousness and lucidity number
three we have valerian now this tea is frequently used to treat insomnia it’s also been shown to
improve anxiety and blood pressure issues as well it’s also a muscle relaxant so this is the um
kind of the reason that it’s a good lucid dreaming tea is because it helps you sleep it’s a

in ayurvedic medicine and the intellect, the plant is known to improve memory and concentration part of
the reason why it’s so helpful for lucid dreaming and the lucid dreaming experience is that it
helps you improve your memory and focus so if you drink this right before bed it usually takes
about a week of continuous use so drinking it every night before bed for the effects to fully
come in okay so it’s kind of a long-term thing it’s not something you can just drink and then
immediately improve your lucid dreams that night number six and I have no idea how to pronounce
this but I’m going to give a try the sshoesroot and which is spelled with an x x-h-o-s-a indigenous
to south africa okay this root is one of the more obscure herbs it’s not very well known but it
usually is formed into a powder and then turned into a foam so it’s kind of a very weird one it’s
not something you can just easily drink in a tea like you would put a pg tips tea bag in a cup
it takes a bit more preparation anyway after ingesting this foam for three consecutive days
the people of the tribes would come together and share their dream experiences so this one to be
honestly, most of you are not going to be able to try this one it’s hard to get hold of and it’s even
harder to prepare number seven a classic mugwort this is also known as artemisia vulgaris it grows
abundantly throughout the world really but you know it grows in England it’s found around the
rest of the world often alongside roads and it can grow up to three feet when it grows in the

experience but it’s also considered one of the most powerful healing herbs in the world we have

body and mind and keep you asleep but it’s also known as an anti-stress herb an anxiety reliever
and it also has mild psychoactive properties it’s said to induce a kind of a pleasurable euphoria

And JADAM technology is simple. So let me tell you how to solve
all the issues with JADAM methods. First, the wedding,
The problems of weeding come with the plastic mulching that lasts for a year.
This means, after harvest, it is mostly destroyed. And the other problems are the high
temperature inside of the mulching then the ventilation of
the field. The purpose of mulching is simply for weeding.
But the mulching causes a problem due to heat. To solve these issues, we have
chosen to use landscape fabric. Which is a breathable material
and lowers the high temperature. Although the price is high, you
can use it for more than 10 years. And some are even much more durable
that can last about 20 years. Which is similar to the
life span of solar panels. It helps the soil by creating shade on the soil, Which leads to a higher expansion of
active microbes inside the soil. As a result, the landscape fabric helps the roots to reach even deeper and makes better soil
quality which leads to a high yield. So let me show you how to make the beds first. Prepare some powder that could
indicate the line on the field. The width of the bed should be 1meter 30
centimeters to 1 meter 60 centimeters. We will first create drainage on each bed. To create the bed and drainage, we will use
the machine just once to protect the soft soil. and this structure is going to be permanent. We are not going to use rotary machines
forever after the first construction. Many of us learned that tilling
soil is necessary every after harvest and before planting to mix the compost with the soil. But the surface application
of the compost is good enough. You can simply scatter and spread the compost
then cover it with the landscape fabric. When you have completed covering
the bad with landscape fabric, Now it is time to use the white marker
to make an indication of where you are going to make the
hole for the crop. Use the string then stretch it up and mark
the string with the 30-centimeter gap. Then cut the fabric along with the indication.
But do not cut it cross because it will loosen all fabric at the end.
And before planting germinate your seedlings into leaf mold soil mix water.
Diversity of the microbes in the seedling’s roots will prevent possible diseases occur in the future.
Then use the narrow hoe to plant the seedlings. Once you have completed planting,
the next step is watering. You can use the irrigation hose
to do this but for the vegetables, It is much more convenient with a sprinkler. Sprinkle water for about 50 minutes
with 1-3 days term depending. And sometimes you can also
mix the JMS along with it. As I just mentioned about the no-till and
surface application on the bed of the crop. Let me show you how it is usually done. After harvest, pull out the
fabric then put it on the side. Once the harvest is completed
your soil needs to be reorganized. After that, I scatter the organic compost on
the surface of the bed and then spread it firmly with the wreck.
Many people think the soil will harden if it is not tilled, But by using the JADAM microbes and
compost, the soil stays soft enough. Then later cover the bed
with the landscape fabric. It should be performed once every harvest, and in Korea, it happened only twice in a year.
One in May and the other one in September. we have uploaded other videos on how
to make beds for the fruiting crop. So you can have a look at that too. Apart from just lettuce and other vegetables, How are we going to deal with root
plants such as radishes or carrots? It will be quite a hassle if we
try to plant in between the fabric. So to plant a root plant, we will just cover
the fabric for about 15-20 days before planting. Then the weed inside will not
be able to get photosynthesis, eventually, the seeds won’t be able to sprout.
After 20 days when you uncover the fabric,
you could see the bed is clean from the weeds. Then organize the bed with wreck then create
a line with 30 centimeters intervals to plant. You might get worried that the weed grows back
again, but root plants such as small radish grow quicker than weeds as it
is all eliminated which leaves no space for the weeds to grow because all the
nutrients were absorbed by the plant itself. So in this way, the crop will not be going
to have nutrient competition with weeds. And the next thing we want to talk about
is Organic pest and disease control. One of The most interesting parts
of JADAM’s natural pesticides is that they won’t have negative effects on humans. It is safe even if you inhale or
mistakenly spray it on your face. Moreover, we know that people
worry about spiders and bees but it won’t heavily harm bees and spiders. When you start farming, soon you will realize that there are a lot of circumstances
with pests and disease problems. However, Don’t try to view
the problem with a microscope. Just simply focus on 2 things in farming.
Aphid and Powdery mildew. If you have enough capability to control
aphids, means you can control almost all pests. And if you have enough capability
to control powdery mildew, you can be confident
in controlling diseases as well. Aphid is the one major problems for farmers
but to us, it is just a piece of cake. By utilizing the simple JADAM
method on aphid and powdery mildew, You can control almost all problems. And we have uploaded all the detailed videos
on Thrips, anthracnose, and Aphid on youtube. All the method of mixing ratio
is also published in our book. We are having a seminar after
3 years, due to covid 19 In the seminar, we are going to release our
new recipe that does not need a water softener. Also, we will now prepare for a
world tour as well for the next year. Thank you for watching and I will
see you guys in the next video.
You might others during conversations, making them less inclined
to talk to you again, or you can act without much or any consideration of
the possible consequences, and this can land you in hot water. Number four is disorganization. We all have hectic lives,
but for someone with ADHD, things may feel a bit
more chaotic than usual. If you have ADHD, you may have trouble
establishing order in your life, and it can be difficult to keep everything in the right place. And adults with ADHD may struggle with these
organizational skills. This can include, problems
keeping track of tasks, and trouble logically prioritizing them. Number five is mood swings. Because this symptom is present
in many other disorders, it’s not an inherent sign of ADHD, but if you’re someone with ADHD you may experience mood
swings or irritability. There may be days you
feel good and grounded, and other days when you’re
in the emotional gutter. You can try writing your emotions down, which can help you keep track
of your emotional patterns, and prepare you for the next mood swing. Setting a schedule will
help you establish a routine and avoid the possible
stress from disorganization. And number six, lack of motivation. Does it seem like you’re
doing everything at once, but feel unmotivated
to go about your tasks? Lack of motivation is a
common symptom of ADHD. A lack of motivation combined
with other symptoms like poor organizational skills is problematic when it
comes to accomplishing tasks or being engaged at work. There are many ways to help fight a lack
of motivation, though. For example, you could
break down your chores into manageable tasks, or write down the positive feelings you’re experiencing throughout the day. These techniques can help
you find the motivation to finish your tasks. Do you think you might have ADHD, or does someone you know
think they could have ADHD? Do you think these signs
will help you or a loved one? Go ahead and like and share
this video if it helped you, and you think it could
help someone else too. The studies and references used are listed in the description below. And don’t forget to hit

So you know focus on what the person has to say and what their heart has to say to engage, and you know likewise, you may not be written off the pages of Vogue either, but try to present yourself well, try to you know, dress appropriately Don’t show up all disheveled and smelly clothes like looking like you haven’t bathed in a week that that’s not helpful so make sure that you’re presenting your best face and you’re dealing with whatever face the client brings And still trying to build that engagement remember the way a client presents. This tells us a lot about what’s contributing to their presenting issues: poor social skills, and ADHD pain. You know there are a variety of things that can contribute to depression, anxiety, and substance use. So try to look at it from that way, even if it’s not your ideal client understand what’s causing this person to be negative and just argumentative and frustrating try to get under there and figure it out. Why is this person so unhappy? What’s motivating is that first impressions impact engagement, so your professional presentation is promptly courteous and smooth handling paperwork. If you walk in there with 15 sheets of paper – and you’re shuffling them around and it seems like you, don’t know what you’re doing. You’re like just a second. I know I had that form around here somewhere, they’re not going to feel very confident in anything. You have to say so and put on a good first impression. Put it together and make sure your paperwork is put together ahead of time. If you have an electronic medical record, make sure you know how to use it because it’s disturbing to people, even though it happens when you’re, using an electronic medical health record to do a screening and you get stuck and you’ve got To call somebody else in to help you figure out how to get on the next screen make sure the environment is calm, clean and comfortable, not too formal or informal like we talked about it, avoids interruptions and provides the appropriate level of privacy. You don’t want clients sitting in the waiting room being able to hear other clients that are in the therapy, rooms or screening rooms. If you’re doing screenings, you may not even be in an office, you may be out at a festival or something so make sure that you’ve got. You know little pull-around screens or something, if appropriate, to give people privacy other people, shouldn’t be hearing their responses to what you are asking them, even if it’s, you know like I said, even if it’s at a Workplace festival or something other people should not hear their answers. So how can you give them privacy if there’s, no way to do that where they can have auditory privacy put as much as possible on check sheets and forms that they can fill out? And then you can point to something and go so help me understand your answer to this right here. Most of the time you want to try to do a screening in a private room. In the initial interview you’re, developing trust and rapport so be empathetic. They’re nervous, probably or they don’t want to be there or maybe they do want to be there and they’re, just hoping that you can help paraphrase that to them whatever vibe you’re getting off of them, paraphrase that and work With it convey warmth and respect and explores the clients, strengths, and skills, you know you’ve been dealing with this depression or this addiction for a long time. I’m wondering how you’ve survived until now. What has helped you deal with it? And keep on keeping on facilitating the clients, understanding the rationale, purpose, and procedures of the screening and assessment exploring the clients, problems, and expectations regarding treatment and recovery, and determining whether a further assessment is needed. That’s your screening. So the definition of screening is the process by which the counselor, client, and significant others, when possible, review the current situation, symptoms, and collateral information to determine the probability of a problem. So we’re going to sit down and we’re going to go okay. What brings you here today? What makes you think you got a problem, you know, and then we’re going to start asking questions or using instruments to try to determine whether we think that there’s a probability that that problem exists screaming is used by all types of Human Service Personnel to determine eligibility and appropriateness of services and needed referrals, so it may be used by a physician by a nurse by a counselor by a caseworker to determine how can we best help this person achieve their goals and their maximum quality of life? It’s not unusual for caseworkers at the Department of Children and Families. If people are coming in to get their food stamps or EBT that month, or they’re enrolling in the process to do a screening to determine how can we best help this person? You know be able to start earning more money, you know, maybe they just need a better job, or maybe they’re not able to maintain employment because their depression is so oppressive. So you can see where screening may be used in a lot of different systems and situations to help people figure out how to help their customers. Screening determines the immediacy of the need. You know you could be doing a screening with somebody who’s like on the fence, or they don’t think they’ve got a problem and it you know there or their problem is minor, so the immediacy may not be great or you could Be screening somebody who is you know heavily intoxicated was just kicked out of his house is facing three DUIs. You know they have a much more immediate need for their safety as well as, hopefully, they’re. More motivated screening needs to be a trance process. We don’t want to sit there with a clipboard and be asking questions and scribbling things down and going uh huh. Well, I think you need to go for an assessment that’s not transparent. The clients like, where did you come up with that I usually use screening instruments, and I talk with people when I’m writing things down. I tell them at the end. If you want to see anything I wrote down, I would encourage you to know I don’t write well, and I’ve got poor penmanship, but I encourage you to read what I wrote and we’re going to talk about these instruments after you Take them so you know you know why were we asking these particular questions? What does it mean to me as a therapist doing your screening, so they understand how you’re arriving at your conclusions? Screening does require informed consent. You know it. Doesn’t have to be a big thing, but it does have to happen before you start screening somebody you need to go. You know I’d like to screen you for depression or anxiety, or this is a wellness screening that your agency is offered, but have them ideally have them sign a sheet acknowledging that they know that they’re being screened for whatever and screening identifies Early warning signs and helps provide early intervention, services and resources, so you know think about high blood pressure or diabetes or any of those physical things doctor screens for that regularly, and if they see that there might be a problem creeping in, they can do something right. Then, to keep it from becoming a full-blown problem. Mental health screening is the same. We notice people are under a lot of stress. We know that that’s probably going to wear them out after a while, and it might lead to depression. So we can start helping them, develop stress management skills, for example. They may not need to go to treatment, maybe they need to go to psychoeducation and learn about stress management, or maybe you’ve got a book. You can let them read or something. But screening is a method of determining what the person needs. Screening is the first opportunity to engage the client in the therapeutic relationship and treatment process, sometimes based on observations or other circumstances. People may be referred directly for assessment, for example, if people come into the detoxification unit we kind of bypass screening. We know there’s a problem and jump straight into assessment, so screening doesn’t always happen, but a lot of times. It does because of that referral source – you know if you’re an Assessor that person came from somewhere. You know their lawyer could have screened them. Their doctor could have screened them whatever, but somebody along the way, probably screen them to determine yeah. You probably need to go over to this facility and talk to an Assessor of the clients. Internal motivation is the primary reason for engaging in treatment. So if they’re there because their wife told them they had to be or their boss or the courts that got them there, but to get them actually engaged in treatment and not just going through the motions they have to have internal motivation. There has to be something in it for them, and that’s, what we want to work on developing throughout the whole process, help them see how this benefits them, what’s in it for them, how can it help them accomplish and get closer to their goals for their life, internal motivation may be fleeting, so rapid engagement is vital. If you see a spark of interest or a spark of willingness, we kind of need to pounce on that spark and go alright. It seems like you know you want to get on with this because you’re sick and tired of being sick and tired. So let’s get you enrolled. Now, if you have to make an appointment for an assessment that’s six weeks out, you may lose the person. You know that engagement doesn’t last for long. The engagement lasts while they’re in your office, and then you know you got to have somebody else, pick it up and keep that momentum going. Screening should be brief. You know twenty-thirty minutes you don’t want to have somebody in there for three hours, that’s the assessment conducted in a variety of settings by a range of professionals on persons deemed to be at risk. Some things we do Universal screenings for like domestic violence, other things you may do selected screenings for – and it also depends on your setting and all that kind of thing. But the take-home point is that screenings are conducted in a variety of settings, whether it be a Health Fair at an employer,’s, a doctor,’s office, sometimes churches will even set up wellness days and do screenings screening represents the first part of a Collaboration among the multidisciplinary team because the screener is going to say, okay, I think I’ve identified that this person probably has an issue with this and needs to be referred to assessment over here, but they also need help with housing and food and affording their Prescriptions, so the screener will kind of link them to other team members in the multidisciplinary team. Screening needs to be sensitive to racial, cultural, socio, economic, and gender-related concerns, so make sure that you’re, culturally responsive and it needs to be developed from information gathered from multiple sources when possible. When you’re doing a screening a lot of times, the only person you’ve got to do. The screening is the person sitting right in front of you, but if you’ve got other information. When I do screenings on people in the criminal justice system, I want to see their criminal records. You know that gives me some objective. Information on you know how many times have they been caught? Dui, whether or not they’ve been convicted? How many times have they been caught DUI, that gives me a little bit more information than just what that person is telling me if they’ve been involved with the Department of Children and Families. I want them to bring their case report, especially if they’ve got an open case going on. Screening assesses signs and symptoms of intoxication and withdrawal. Three key elements: we want to verify that the behavior deviates from the norm and rule out all non-drug related causes. So if somebody is having difficulty focusing or they’re agitated, we want to rule out ADHD and schizophrenia and some other things that might cause that, to rule in, if you will stimulant abuse, for example, you want to verify that there. This is not how they normally behave. You know some people are agitated and a little bit more bouncy or fidgety or whatever you want to say most of the time. If that’s how they are, then you know that’s how they are and it’s not a drug, wants to rule out the drug-related causes, including physical causes. You know if they’re in chronic pain if you know etc. There are a lot of reasons somebody could be excessively sleepy have difficulty concentrating be overly agitated. There are a lot of things that use diagnostic procedures to determine the types of drugs being used. So in screening, we’re going to ask them what they’ve been using. But ideally, you can also do an on-site drug screening. You know having a pee in a cup and the on-site. Screenings are not super reliable, but it gives you something to look at. You know most cases, it’s anywhere between 60 and 70 percent reliability, which is why, if it comes up positive and the person says, I didn’t use that it needs to be sent off to a lab for mass spectrometry. To determine what happened, because you can get false positives and you can get false negatives, they may have used something and it doesn’t show up on the test. So you don’t want to just trust the on sites as being a hundred percent, but it is a good tool to identify whether the person is telling you the truth about how much or what their current, whether they’re currently using or not assess Clients, mental health and trauma history. You’re not going to get deep into the weeds here, just ask them if they have a history of depression, anxiety, or abuse of any sort and move on to their safety or environmental needs. Do they have a safe place to sleep? You know if they have an address, you know, do they feel safe in their home? Do they eat well, how’s their nutrition? Do they have any physical health needs that are not getting met? Do they have any other wraparound needs? If they’ve got kids, do they have access to childcare? Are they having problems with transportation? Are they able to afford the medications that they’re already prescribed, etc? So we want to ask them about some basic things like that, and then we’re going to assess the danger to themselves and others. Are they talking about harming themselves or someone else? And we also want to ask if they’re thinking about hurting themselves or someone else. Screening methods include interviewing the clients and significant others using screening instruments and lab tests like urinalysis that we talked about signs of substance, use disorders or mental health issues. We want to look for number one, the circumstances of contact. If the person was referred by the court, then that’s a pretty good sign that there may be a substance use disorder going on if they’re referred because of a DUI. For example, if they’re referred because of a fight they got into, but they weren’t using at the time their blood alcohol was zero. We want to look maybe for mental health issues and things like intermittent explosive disorder. You want to look at the clients, demeanor, and behavior. Are they acting like they’re under the influence when they come in for the screening? Are they showing signs of acute intoxication or withdrawal? Are there any physical signs of drug use or self-injury? Needle injection marks, if they have a get frequent bloody noses, you know if they get bloody noses, while they’re in your office or if they have signs that they’ve been picking. Those can be all physical signs of drug use. Emaciation and malnutrition are also signed some drugs will cause the pupils to be dilated. Other drugs will cause the pupils to be pinpointed. So you want to know what the signs of different drugs are for drugs of intoxication and different signs that people have been using, especially injection, but, like I said, sometimes, drugs will cause people to pick or itch, and that will show indicate to you that there might Be an underlying issue and information spontaneously offered by the client or significant others can give you information about whether there’s a substance, use or mental health issue, and sometimes the significant other. Let me just kind of back up: there may be the significance the spouse brought the person in and when you go out to meet them you, the person, the person being interviewed. Doesn’t want their spouse in there. They want. They want to go back by themselves, okay, that’s cool, you go out and meet the person and then, if you can, with permission, bring the spouse back after the screening to give them both the results, and at that point the significant other the spouse may Spontaneously say: oh well, why didn’t you tell them about? You know the DUI you had three years ago or whatever. So sometimes spouses will just kind of blurt things out because they suspect that the significant other didn’t already say it during the interview. So if you can get that person in a private place where they have an opportunity to say something wonderful but remember you know you do have to have the client’s permission. Screening instruments can be developed by the agency or use standardized instruments. The cage is a common one and you ask a person: have they tried to cut down unsuccessfully, do they feel annoyed when people talk to them about their substance use, do they feel guilty about the substances about using their substances and do they sometimes have to Use first thing: in the morning to kind of wake up we call it an eye opener if they say yes to one or more of those, there’s a chance that they may have a problem. The gain is another tool that you can use, as is the Michigan alcohol screening test or the Sasi. So all of those are standardized instruments, and some of them cost money.

It’s a brief amount of time that you have as life. In this, if you take yourself too seriously, you are one big joke. The secret of life is to see everything with a non-serious eye but to be involved like a sport. So be a sport for life. If you want to be a sport for life, you have to be able to see that your existence is of consequence for the times in which we live, but not of eternal consequence unless you touch the eternal dimension of who you are. It’s such a brief life, only by doing what you truly care for, will your life become worthwhile. If genuine involvement has to come in your life, for you to give yourself absolutely, you must be doing something that truly, truly matters to you. You must find that.

When everything is yours, this whole world is yours, this cosmos is yours. So when it is a part of you, if you involve yourself absolutely, and constantly strive to create what matters to you, what you care for, then your existence itself will be worthwhile, not necessarily your actions, not what you achieve and may not achieve, but your very existence will be truly worthwhile because just to breathe and be is phenomena (Laughs). There are no greater phenomena than life. If this is not worthwhile, if this is not worthwhile, what is?
