Scholarship for High School Seniors

“When we give ourselves the gift of a personal relationship with our Conscience, we gain access to the wisdom and creativity we need to make the best choices in every circumstance and relationship.” – Leonard Perlmutter

AVERILL PARK, N.Y. (PRWEB)
December 07, 2021

This holiday season, the American Meditation Institute is offering high school seniors the rare opportunity to give themselves the best gift they’ll ever receive—a personal relationship with their Conscience that can empower them to make the best choices throughout their lives. In the 3rd annual National Conscience Month Essay Contest, one winner will receive a $2,000 scholarship toward higher education for the best essay that clearly explains how they experimented with using (or ignoring) the wisdom of their brilliant Conscience in their decision-making process.

The many stresses of the holidays—gift-giving, extra family time, sensitive food and drink issues—can induce anxiety for teens and adults alike. Yet all human beings long for happiness, peace and abundance during this (and every) season of life. The good news is that when individuals learn to coordinate their most powerful instrument, the mind, they discover those precious gifts in every moment.

According to Leonard Perlmutter, originator of National Conscience Month and author of the new book, YOUR CONSCIENCE, “The holidays present a unique set of challenges that require patience and understanding, kindness and creativity. Young people have access to all that is required to fully enjoy the season when they slow down and rely on the Conscience in every decision they make. This national essay contest for high school seniors will establish an awareness of the positive value of regularly using their Conscience as a trusted guide to knowing what’s to be done and what’s not to be done.”

Perlmutter’s book, YOUR CONSCIENCE, provides a clear and accessible explanation of how the mind works and offers practical tools for readers to experiment with this knowledge. The Conscience is one of four functions of the mind, and the key is learning how to coordinate them as a group in order to make choices that lead to lasting happiness and fulfillment, rather than instant gratification. The book can easily be adapted into educational curricula at the middle and high school levels, and beyond.

Every high school senior can enter the Conscience Month Scholarship contest, and submissions will continue to be accepted through January 28, 2022.

The mission of National Conscience Month is to foster a national conversation that inspires individuals of all ages and political affiliations, governments, school systems, faith leaders, non-profits, community organizations, corporations, believers, atheists and agnostics across the United States to experiment with using their Conscience in choosing their thoughts, words and deeds. This month-long observance is the perfect time to clarify our individual and collective vision by using the Conscience as an inspired and trustworthy guide to making better decisions that can resolve the seemingly unresolvable.

This Should Never Be a Child’s Suitcase

“It’s our mission to give back to our community – through a healthy lifestyle regimen at our studios and by providing to those in need.” — Matt Higgins, Orangetheory Fitness

CHARLESTON, W. Va. (PRWEB)
December 03, 2021

West Virginia has one of the highest rates of children in foster care, currently with more than 6,803 youth without a “forever family.” To help these youth in need, local Orangetheory Fitness studios have once again partnered with international non-profit, Comfort Cases for two days of “packing parties” to provide essential and comfort items that will support them, particularly during their first days in which they enter foster care.

Money raised by Orangetheory Fitness members between November 12 and 26 will be used to purchase “Comfort Cases” filled with items including a new set of pajamas, a new blanket, age-appropriate hygiene kit, book and a stuffed animal to be given to foster care youth in need. Comfort Cases will be packed at Orangetheory Fitness studios and then distributed by local organizations to those in need.

Packing party dates, locations and beneficiaries:

1:00-2:00pm: Orangetheory Fitness

3034 Champion Dr, Barboursville, WV

Recipient Agency: NECCO Huntington

3:00-4:00pm: Orangetheory Fitness

Recipient Agency: NECCO Charleston (Cross Lanes)

2:30-4:00pm: Orangetheory Fitness

360 Suncrest Towne Centre Drive, Morgantown, WV

Recipient Agency: Genesis Youth Crisis Center

Comfort Cases’ mission is to eliminate the demoralizing practice of placing children in homes with their belongings stuffed into trash bags.

“With more than 700 children entering foster care every day, and more than 400,000 children in foster care nationwide, it’s so important to not just raise awareness, but to also provide hope and dignity to them by giving back to these children,” states Comfort Cases founder Rob Scheer. “

“This is our 3rd year partnering with Comfort Cases to benefit these local organizations and our kids here in West Virginia,” states Matt Higgins, Orangetheory Fitness franchisee. “It’s our mission to give back to our community – through a healthy lifestyle regimen at our studios and by providing to those in need. Our members are just as excited as we are to participate at our packing parties.”

NOTE: Spokespeople from Orangetheory Fitness, Comfort Cases and beneficiary agencies are available for interview – prior to and on the day of the packing parties.

Faberlic is a leading global company in 44 countries and is entering the U.S. market with its one-stop shopping experience.

PHOENIX (PRWEB)
November 24, 2021

Faberlic is a Europe-based direct selling company with over 10 million customers and over 100,000 independent distributors in 44 countries. Already ranked among the top 30 direct selling companies in the world, Faberlic is now poised to launch in the United States.

Faberlic was founded by Alexey Nechaev, an influential entrepreneur, inventor, educator, philanthropist, and political leader. The company’s dramatic growth was originally based on a skin care product line that used a patented method to deliver oxygen to the skin. Through ongoing research and development, the company continues to lead the world in this important technology for skin rejuvenation. Several rigorous scientific studies have proven the measurable benefits of Faberlic’s patented skin care products.

Meanwhile, the company has over time added a massive range of lifestyle products for skin care, cosmetics, personal care, wellness, and home care. Faberlic invents, designs and manufactures several patented premium products, yet offers them all at everyday prices rather than the inflated prices typical of direct selling.

Today, Faberlic provides a “one-stop shopping experience” for all the fundamentals required for an inspiring, comfortable and healthy lifestyle. CEO Konstantin Barmashov said: “We do not ask the consumer to spend new money on extra, discretionary products, we invite consumers to simply transfer their spending and improve their lifestyle with their current budget.”

The company manufactures 70% of its products inhouse, and adds new products every few weeks. Faberlic designs its products to protect the environment and the health of its customers, and its new line for the United States market matches or exceeds the more stringent safety and environmental standards of the European Community.

Faberlic markets its products through a direct selling model designed for the 21st century, with a simple sales process empowered by digital technology. The company offers a seamless international business with global leadership opportunities for its US distributors. Faberlic’s huge and constantly growing catalog of products multiplies the earning possibilities for distributors. The Faberlic compensation system is ideally suited to its large catalog of products and provides exceptional earning opportunities at every level of the business. The company teaches every distributor the skills of a successful social media micro-influencer, and provides a comprehensive array of marketing tools and social media content. Faberlic believes that success comes from personal development and invests in building people to build the business.

Faberlic is a company with a clearly defined mission and strong values. CEO Konstantin Barmashov explained: “Our mission is to help everyone become the best version of themselves, and we fulfill that through our product offerings, our business opportunity, and our social and environmental engagement.”

Faberlic’s core values and priorities include:

• Continuous self-development empowered by a supportive community
• Social awareness and a commitment to make the world a better place
• Environmental responsibility, expressed in manufacturing practices, community culture and charitable engagement
• Entrepreneurship, business excellence, and financial self-determination
• A culture and a product strategy that encourages optimum health and wellness
• Transparency, open communication, and maximum engagement of the distributor community in the company’s development

One way Faberlic expresses its mission is through its charitable activities. Among other contributions, the company has planted 10 million trees (engaging 50,000 schools in the process), provided material and psychological support to 10,000 young mothers, and during the Covid pandemic distributed 15 million units of sanitizers to hospitals and other locations. Beyond designing, managing and financing these programs, Faberlic makes a point of engaging its community of distributors in the process.

CEO Konstantin Barmashov says: “We believe that contributing to society and the environment is an important aspect of personal growth for every distributor. We will bring this spirit of contribution to our new operations in the United States.”

Black Friday Deal: Customers can choose any three products and receive the least expensive free. They will also receive free CBD, CBG, CBN and THCV gummies with a $50 purchase.

Our new Gummies Variety Packets make the perfect stocking stuffers, and, since deals can be combined, we’re seeing customers stocking up on their favorite cannabinoids and getting lots of free items for gifts.

HONOLULU (PRWEB)
November 23, 2021

Rare Cannabinoid Company announces its best-ever Black Friday Deal: Buy two get one free on its entire apothecary of cannabinoids: THCV, CBDV, Delta-8-THC, CBDA, CBC, CBG, CBN, full spectrum Hawaiian CBD, terpenes and extra strength cannabinoid gummies. In addition, customers can try all of their new CBD, CBG, CBN, and THCV gummies for free when they spend $50 or more. Shop Black Friday Hemp Deals now.

The Hawaiian company’s sister-brand Hawaiian Choice CBD is also offering a similar Black Friday buy 2 get 1 free deal and special offer freebies on their real fruit pineapple-passion CBD jellies. Buy Hawaiian CBD here.

Rare Cannabinoid Company sells more cannabinoids than any other brand and was the first to offer single extracts of THCV and CBDV for sale, terpene-only blends and has the strongest THCV gummies. Whether one is looking for help losing weight, improving their mood, or falling asleep at night, they have a tincture or gummy that can help. Plus, their gummies make excellent gifts.

“Our new Gummies Variety Packets make the perfect stocking stuffers, and, since deals can be combined, we’re seeing customers stocking up on their favorite cannabinoids and getting lots of free items for gifts,” said Jennifer Carlile, Rare Cannabinoid Company Co-Founder and Creative Director.

Here’s how Rare Cannabinoid Company’s deals work:

Buy 2 Get 1 FREE: Buy any three Rare Cannabinoid Company products – mix and match single extracts, ready blends, terpene-only tinctures, or cannabinoid gummies – and you’ll receive the least expensive one free.

With this combination, the pure CBG tincture is the least expensive item and will be free. Since the customer will have spent more than $50, they will also receive the packet of gummies for free.

Not sure what to buy? Rare Cannabinoid Company recently redesigned its website so that customers can now shop by need and easily find the perfect combination for any of the following needs: Energy and Focus, Sleep, Stress Relief, Discomfort, Mood Enhancers, Appetite Suppression, or Nausea.

The company believes that rare cannabinoids work best when added to full spectrum CBD or a broad spectrum CBD for the entourage effect. Each rare cannabinoid offers unique mental and physical effects which is why they should be combined for different needs. These needs and cannabinoid combinations can differ depending on time of day the person’s physiological state.

Each product page offers a list of links to scientific and medical research on each cannabinoid. Here’s a brief summary of what each cannabinoid is frequently taken for:

THCV (tetrahydrocannabivarin): Acts like a stimulant, as it increases energy and suppresses hunger, shows promise in reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes, anxiety and panic attacks, and addiction to nicotine.

CBN (cannabinol): May promote rest, relaxation, sleep, and is believed to be more strongly sedative than other cannabinoids, especially when combined with delta-8 THC and relaxing terpenes.

Delta-8 THC (delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol): Relieves discomfort and nausea. Offers similar effects to delta-9-THC with less risk of anxiety or paranoia.

CBC (cannabichromene): Best non-psychoactive cannabinoid for improving mood as it raises levels of the brain’s bliss chemical “anandamide.”

CBDA (cannabidiolic acid): Reduces nausea and may in reduce inflammation from daily exercise and activities.

CBD (cannabidiol): Promotes stress resilience, a sense of calm, and may reduce inflammation from daily activities.

CBDV (cannabidivarin): May reduce swelling from daily activities and nausea and is being studied for use in people with autism spectrum disorder, muscular dystrophy, seizures, and other disorders.

CBG (cannabigerol): May offer relief from discomfort and is being studied for use against many ailments.
