🌿 FACT: You Were Designed by G‑D...Down to Your Bones.
At 520Aftermath and Reba's Tomorrow, we’re all about connecting mind, body, and spirit—and the truth is, your body already reflects the Creator in more ways than you realize.
🧠 1. Your Brain Is Wired for Faith.
When you pray or meditate, your brain’s prefrontal cortex (focus, purpose, peace) activates. It’s not just emotion—it’s a spiritual alignment built into your design.
🫀 2. Prayer Calms the Heart.
Your heart rate slows, your nervous system resets, and peace takes over. That’s not a placebo—it’s divine design at work.
✨ “Peace I leave with you...” —John 14:27
🦴 3. Bones Store Memory.
Science confirms it. The Bible knew it. Bone marrow holds cellular memory—from trauma and healing.
➡️ Even in death, not one of Jesus’ bones was broken—John 19:36.
🧬 4. Your DNA Carries a Code of Creation.
Our entire genetic blueprint is made of four letters: A, T, C, G.
Some see it as poetic—Adonai Tzvaot / Creator G‑D—a reminder of Heaven’s fingerprint in our very cells.
🗣️ 5. Your Words Heal.
Speaking truth, affirmations, or prayer releases dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin.
➡️ “Life and death are in the power of the tongue.” —Proverbs 18:21

We are fearfully and wonderfully made.
We are walking temples. Healing starts when we realize who made us—and who still sustains us.

🥭 MANGO MEDICINE: NATURE’S JUICY SECRET 🌿

You think mango is just fruit? Nah... it's healing in a peel.
✅ Anti-inflammatory — mango contains mangiferin, a powerful plant compound that helps reduce swelling and protect your brain
✅ Immune booster — loaded with vitamins A, C, E & K to fight illness, balance hormones, and give your skin that glow
✅ Digestive support — high in enzymes + fiber, mango keeps your gut happy and bloat down
✅ Mood lifter — packed with B-vitamins + folate, it naturally supports mental health and fights fatigue
💡 Fun fact: In some cultures, mango is paired with herbs and/or cannabis in healing rituals to intensify the *"medicine" of clarity and calm."
🌍 MANGO TRUTH: THE STATS
📈 Over 55 million tons of mangoes are produced globally every year
🇮🇳 India grows more than 40% of the world’s mangoes
📦 Mango is one of the top 10 most-consumed fruits in the U.S.
📜 Origin? Mangoes go way back—they were first cultivated over 4,000 years ago in South Asia, near present-day India and Myanmar
🔥 Mango + Medicinals = Real Nourishment
At 520Aftermath and Reba's Tomorrow, we’re not just about smoke—we’re about whole healing.
💬 Ever tried mango before a session? Some say it enhances the high by helping THC cross the blood-brain barrier faster—thanks to myrcene, a terpene found in both mango and cann@bi$ 👀

🌿 Spiritual Sunday 🌿
“This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT)

✨ Change isn’t always easy, but it’s necessary. Whether you’re healing, growing, or letting go, know that transformation is holy. Every step forward—no matter how small—is part of G‑D’s divine plan.
Some changes we choose, and others are forced upon us. But in both, there is purpose. G‑D never calls us to stay the same. He calls us to be renewed, refined, and restored.
Let today be a reminder: you are not who you were. You’re being shaped for something greater. Embrace the shift. Walk in grace. And trust that the best is yet to come.

📲 For more faith, healing, tips, resources, truth and more: Subscribe to our 520Aftermath YouTube channel, explore deep reflections on the 520Aftermath blog, and join our uplifting community at the Reba’s Tomorrow Facebook group. Let’s grow together. 💜 👇

🌿 "Understanding the Endocannabinoid System" 🌿

✨ Did you know your body has its own built-in cannabis system? It’s called the Endocannabinoid System (ECS)—and it plays a major role in keeping you balanced.
The ECS helps regulate:
🔹 Sleep
🔹 Mood
🔹 Pain
🔹 Inflammation
🔹 Appetite
🔹 Immune response
🧠 Your body naturally produces compounds similar to cannabinoids found in the plant—but sometimes, stress, illness, or trauma can throw the system off. That’s where herbal remedies, including cannabis, come in.
Whether it’s CBD, THC, or other plant allies like turmeric or lavender—520Aftermath and Reba's Tomorrow is here to help you learn, heal, and grow naturally.
💬 Ever feel calmer, clearer, or less achy after using a specific strain or blend? That’s your ECS doing its thing. 💚 Follow us for more real info on cannabis, healing, and holistic wellness.

🧬💜 Today is Koolen-de Vries Syndrome Awareness Day 💜🧬
At 520Aftermath and Reba's Tomorrow, we believe every voice matters, especially those in the rare disease community.

Koolen-de Vries Syndrome (KdVS) is a rare genetic condition caused by a deletion on chromosome 17q21.31 or a mutation in the KANSL1 gene.
It affects fewer than 1 in 100,000 children, yet the impact on each family is profound.

Children and adults with KdVS often experience:
✨ Developmental and speech delays
✨ Hypotonia (low muscle tone)
✨ Distinct facial features
✨ Mild to moderate intellectual disabilities
✨ And some of the kindest, most loving personalities you’ll ever meet 💞
🧪 Diagnosis:
KdVS can be diagnosed through genetic testing, including chromosomal microarray or whole exome sequencing, which can detect the 17q21.31 deletion or a mutation in the KANSL1 gene.
Early diagnosis can help families get support, therapies, and a better understanding of how to help their child thrive.
Today we honor those living with KdVS, their families, and the warriors advocating for research, resources, and recognition.
🧡 Rare doesn’t mean alone.
🧡 Awareness = Understanding.
🧡 Love is the loudest advocate.

Sarcoma Awareness Month💛🎗July is Sarcoma Awareness Month — shining a light on this rare but serious group of cancers that affect bones and soft tissues. Here’s what you should know:

🔹 What is Sarcoma?
Sarcoma includes over 70 different types of cancers that develop in connective tissues like muscles, fat, nerves, tendons, and bones. It’s rare, accounting for about 1% of adult cancers and 15% of childhood cancers.
🔹 Who is at risk?
Sarcomas can affect anyone but are more commonly diagnosed in people under 20 or over 50 years old. Early detection is key — watch for unusual lumps, persistent pain, or swelling.
🔹 Signs & Symptoms:
• A painless lump or swelling that grows over time
• Persistent pain in bones or muscles
• Fatigue or unintended weight loss (in some cases)
🔹 Why Awareness Matters:
Because sarcoma is rare, it’s often misdiagnosed or diagnosed late, which makes treatment harder. Increasing awareness helps with faster diagnosis, better treatment options, and improved outcomes.
🔹 What Can You Do?
Learn the signs and symptoms.
Support sarcoma research and patients.
Share this post to spread awareness.
💚 At 520Aftermath and Reba’s Tomorrow, we believe knowledge is power. Together, we can help fight rare cancers through education and support.

🌊🦈 Shark Awareness Day 🦈🌊
Today, we shine a light on one of the most misunderstood creatures of the sea — sharks. For generations, sharks have been painted as villains — dangerous, emotionless, mindless predators. But truth is, we’re far more dangerous to them than they are to us.
🔹 FACT CHECK 🔹
📉 Humans kill over 100 million sharks each year — often for their fins, meat, or as bycatch in commercial fishing.
🦈 Yet, sharks kill fewer than 10 humans per year worldwide (often due to mistaken identity, not aggression).
🐾 There are over 500 species of sharks, and many are endangered — including hammerheads, great whites, and whale sharks.
💧 Sharks play a vital role in ocean health by maintaining balance in marine ecosystems.
💔 Sharks are essential, not expendable. They help keep oceans thriving, which impacts the entire planet — including us.
💚 It’s time to stop the fear-based narrative and start protecting these majestic creatures.
📢 Let’s rewrite the story:
➡️ Learn the truth
➡️ Stop supporting products with shark fins
➡️ Support ocean conservation
➡️ Teach the next generation to love and respect, not fear
From herbal healing to ocean healing — it’s all connected 🌍💨💙

🌍World Population Day! Every life. Every voice. Every solution.

Today is World Population Day, and here at 520Aftermath and Reba’s Tomorrow, we’re taking a moment to reflect on the big picture—our people, our planet, and the pressures we face.

🌐 Did you know?
The world’s population is now over 8.1 billion and growing.
By 2050, it’s expected to hit 9.7 billion.
Over 50% of the global population is under 30.
More than 700 million people still live in extreme poverty.
Access to reproductive health, education, and clean water are still daily struggles in many parts of the world.

💥 But this isn’t just about numbers—it’s about balance, equity, and quality of life. That includes mental health, environmental wellness, and the role of natural, affordable remedies—like cannabis and herbal medicine—in underserved communities.
📢 The conversation matters.
From climate stress to food insecurity, from wellness gaps to healthcare rights—population growth affects everything, and it’s all connected.
🌱 At 520Aftermath and Reba’s Tomorrow, we believe in:

Access to natural care for all communities

Cannabis as a wellness tool and not a criminal sentence

Sustainable living, conscious healing, and holistic support
