Intro- Younger Queens

• I am a grown ass woman, and I still view the world like a child. 
• • I am moved by nature, I can get lost in the clouds, I can cry watching a sunset
• How do we encourage younger generations of Not-yet-queens or princesses to step into their queendom without waiting for a prince to rescue them.
• The king to shine with you may show up and be attracted to your light, but may not be ready to reign just yet
• Women have a less dense nervous system, so we process things faster, we think through things faster.
• • The male nervous system is more dense, so it takes them longer to process and learn, to hear and understand
• Focus on you, let the lovespace take root, but focus on you
• Encourage younger queens that they're doing it right. 
• • Takes time to learn how to ride the flow of life
  • Can't control life, we can control how we respond to it
  • Be intentional about your responses to life

• Q&A "What about cannabis for pregnant queens"
• • Take home message: as with all medicine and substances, use at your own discretion during pregnancy. However, big picture there are endocannabinoids in breast milk and the stress hormones a mom can release experiencing anxiety or pain (such as cortisol and epinephrine) can be worse for the fetus than THC. Smoking in general reduces oxygen to the fetus, so keep that in mind.
• Food is the cornerstone of hormone balance
• • She suffered from endometriosis 
  • • In and out of the emergency room in Osteopathic medical school
    • Debilitating pain and poor quality of life
    • Shifted from sustainable farm-raised diet to plant-based diet, symptoms went away in 3 days.
• Until you get to the root cause of what's manifesting your "dis-ease", you're going to continue to manifest that disease.
• • Metaphysical, mathematical, scientific basis for this
  • Dr. Holland explains the manifestation of disease or dysfunctional tissue through math and through point detractors.
  • • As things are manifested from anti-matter into matter (0s into 1s of looking at this mathematically), there are frequencies that are significant enough to detract or shift the mathematical pattern, and there are ones that don't. An insignificant point detractor won't affect how you manifest matter. A significant point detractor will. And if you do not clear those significant point detractor will manifest in pain or disease.
  • In the rise of Divine Masculine and Feminine meeting each other, there is more space for energy work to come into conventional medicine.
  • Mind-Body-Spirit paradigm
  • • The power of your thoughts are real, they create a neurochemical soup that forms your reality
    • If being told "it's all in your head" is a gift when it triggers you, because it means there's something to work through

    • • What wheelbarrow of stories do you carry around that you need to let go?
• How to use cannabis from the mind-body-spirit paradigm?
• • Full patient history, because it's case by case recommendation
  • Medical cannabis is helpful because patients can get recommendations for what will serve them best at different points of the day, in addition to what will serve their medical condition best
  • Women have a lot of cannabinoid receptors in our reproductive organs and lymphatic tissue, so specifically for women, medical cannabis can be extremely beneficial
  • Cannabis is one of the tools in the toolkit
  • Entourage effect: most therapeutic benefit from cannabis when consumed as a whole product (THC and CBD).
  • • CBD alone does have therapeutic benefits so for certain patients who can not or should not have THC, it will still help
  • CBD is psychoactive. That's why it helps treat anxiety. 
  • • It is not psychomimetic, which THC is, it helps bring you to a different state.
• Cannabis and Sex
• • Ms. Cory B + Lenore Black
  • • Brooklyn based empowered women in the sex industry who are also coaches and performers
  • Cannabis effects men and women differently because of the difference in receptor locations
  • • Difference between smoking, vaping, and topical application; cbd only and thc with cbd
    • Women overall found the products more effective
    • Topical CBD/THC does seem to help with erectile dysfunction, because both a vasodilators, they allow more blood flow, more engorgement of sexual organs
    • • Can make women secrete more fluid, which will make sex more enjoyable
  • Suggest using topically versus smoking for sex
  • • Smoking decreases mucus production
    • • Locally receptors are being told don't make as much lubrication, and the brain does too
    • Smoking with sex is beneficial when you're doing healing work to rewire the brain from trauma, to reprogram trauma
    • • Smoking before doing internal pelvic floor work
      • Can help with deep breathing and being in their body
      • How can you own the story of the trauma and tell it to yourself differently
    • THC/CBD rectal or vaginal suppositories
