Hello Beautiful Steemians

The TribeSteemmUp community also has 8 Pillars/Principles that each member has agreed to adhere by and you can find The 8 Pillars of TribeSteemUp at the end of this post

Once again I have 16 articles to share with you all today, even though things have quieten down, the majority of the Tribe Menembers remain active. Each of the members articles/videos are about inspiring us and motivating us to become more aware in our daily lives. Life is all about learning, evolving and being mindful in all that we do.

Dumbing Down of Children's Brains Linked to Increased Screen Time

@krnel

We already have a society where true critical and free thinking has been degraded through the robotic education system that promotes conformity. But it's not the only factor that is helping to dumb down future generations.
Too much screen time from smartphones, tablets or computers, is now being linked to reduced brain development in children. Specifically in the areas linked to language and literacy.

Breaking the Silence §§§§ Reacquire My Fire

@elamental

Harnessing the power of the Taurus full moon, years of prayers and intention setting have manifested my flame of passion and creative expression. I intend to use the FULL POWER of this fire moving forward and have already fallen to the floor in gratitude. The humans that are surrounding me now, some new and some that remain at my side through long-term ties of true family, are about to greatly benefit and enjoy their relationships with me on an unprecedented level.

We are still here. Indigenous peoples, Indigenous lands.

@tawasi

Our fight for basic human rights continues. The goverment continues to encroach on indigenous lands, now the lands that we were forced onto after the best lands were stolen.
Now the people of the land find our selves in a situation where leadership is corrupt and has long since sold out.
The lands are not enough for the oppressive government. They also steal our children. Child separation is the definition of genocide. And the genocide is ongoing.

Process This!

@metametheus

When I was practicing Chinese Medicine full-time, I accepted payments in BTC, ETH, and STEEM. I only had one patient who paid me in BTC, as most of my client-base was not in that world (mostly middle-aged, middle-class, white women). So I see the viability of using a token such as LOTUS as completely possible within the wider Steem ecosystem. We just need the development of apps to easily allow exchange and payments.

Majority of Baby Food Samples Test Positive for Toxic Metals

@doitvoluntarily

According to recent research that had been commissioned by the Healthy Babies Bright Futures organization, a great deal of baby food on the shelves today might contain harmful toxic metal.
They tested over 100 samples of baby food, that came from more than 60 different brands, with 168 testing positive for the presence of at least 4 heavy metals, including lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium.

Working With The Elements - Creating Ceremony Part 2

@trucklife-family

When creating a ceremony it is important to do what you feel comfortable doing, to find your own rhythm and flow and allow yourself to connect with your feelings. There is so much information both online and in books that will help to guide you in the sort of ceremony what you wish to create. Don't be afraid to experiment, to have fun.
Creating ceremonies is all about connecting wit your inner self and allowing the universal energy to flow through you. We are but vessels, opening ourselves up to receive so that we can then send that energy, that healing, that love out into the world.

Ancient Nuts Underground

@mountainjewel

Imagine our ancient hominin ancestor, Paranthropus boisei, foraging for food over 1.5 million years ago in East Africa.
With 5-6 hours a day allocated to food acquisition, a sweet and fatty nutrient dense rhizome found at the base of a sedge that provided 80% of the required caloric intake in 2-3 hours would have been a sought after staple.
Fast forward many generations…
Baboons in this same region of Africa are known to seek out this widespread starchy tuber that now grows worldwide.
Chufa prefers a moist habitat but can survive droughty periods as well.

Staying on Track - No More Blocks - Living Life How I Want...

@porters

As I have been making changes in my life, improving my life to a better state of being, I find I need to keep more focused on things that matter most. I realize how precious my time is and that time waits for no one, also that if I want to fulfill my aspirations, these other meaningless activities need to be weeded out of my life.
I want to get to a point where each of my daily activities are meaningful and of high quality – to have my days filled with things I value - to live intentionally!

Time For Warming, Healing, Herbal Tea: Blue Butterfly Pea, Lemongrass & White Turmeric

@artemislives

Watching our Anchan - the Japanese Blue Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea) - blooming extravagantly, it's almost criminal to let her blooms go to waste. Throughout the 8-month-long hot seasons here in Thailand - hot/dry & hot/wet - I often make a big jug of fresh Anchan, Lime & Ginger iced tea. Refreshing, cooling and calming - naturally antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and adaptogenic. It's a standard in our house, most days.

MANDATORY VACCINATION FORCED Onto German Children... Unable to Attend School & Fined 2,500 Euros. A Red Flag Not To Ignore.

@ura-soul

Sadly unsurprising news today from Germany - Children are to be forced to be vaccinated for measles or be refused access to school and their parents fined 2,500 Euros. There is a mountain of lies being told about vaccine science and numerous medical professionals from numerous backgrounds have spoken out against vaccine science in general - including medical doctors and even vaccine inventors from the past.

RESPECT! Respect yourself, Respect others and Respect Mother Earth

@thegreens

If you respect yourself, then you will respect others and others will respect you. If you respect yourself, then you will respect Nature and Mother Earth because you are a part of nature.
Respect is a very powerful word that brings to mind a lot of questions.
Everyone wants respect but how many of us respect ourselves?
How many of us truly respect others?
How many of us respect that which gives us life, Nature?
How many of us respect our common heritage, Planet Earth?
By the way, does respect even exist or is it just a cultural, social or societal norm that we all must incorporate in our lives?

What the future holds for Steem | An honest, non shilly social analysis after Steem Fest

@nainaztengra

During Steem Fest I got to meet a lot of people, spoke about the state of Steem but honestly no one could really give a clear picture as to what will be the future of Steem. Where will Steem price be in the next one year. No one can predict the future of Steem, not even the Steem Inc. leaders. Although one thing is for sure all the necessary corrective actions are being taken to bring back Steem into a favorable position and everyone is in a hope that these actions will bring good results for Steem and will see Steem prices once again moving upwards.

Solving the Problem of Governance

@lukestokes

Have you ever thought about how groups don't actually make decisions? A corporation, organization, or government doesn't actually decide anything. It's always individual people in large and small groups who figure out some form of consensus to represent the whole. This disconnect creates problems because not everyone is represented and the individuals who did actually make a decision are not individually held accountable to those decisions as the group identity takes over.

ecoVillage Journal #3: ETHICAL COMMERCE & TRADE

@eco-alex

Some of you may have heard of the Venus Project, by Jacque Fresco. He had the great vision of a resource based economy, built around large modern eutopic cities. That vision always peaked my interest, but I can always remember feeling a little uneasy about the size and scope of these grand super modern cities. I always asked, how can something this big and this different ever get going?! What strikes me now is that the Venus Project was still based around a model of centralisation, and those who lived in a Venus City would be vulnerable to the huge systems that ran them.

A big thank you to @hungryhustle for creating the amazing infographic of the 8 Pillars Of TribeSteemUp and For @eco-alex for creating the tribesteemup banner and logo.
