When it comes to PHS and Rave Psychology, I always, a-l-w-a-y-s, recommend to follow your authority. It is your answer, and the only thing you are looking for. It will lead you to the right foods, people, places, environments to be and find yourself. Never continue to follow ‘under the line’ information at the expense of your health. Let your experience guide you and respond to Life.
