| The Complete Master Cleanse by Tom Woloshyn a book review... |

After gathering lemons (organic), grade b maple syrup (2 quarts), and cayenne, I picked up this book on The Lemonade Diet.
A few of my friends have done this cleanse. I am a firm believer that you should cleanse a little and build a little. If you put yourself in a constant detox, you may do your body more harm than good, and of course the cleansing and detoxing all depends upon the level of toxins in your system. Over detoxing can have a profound effect on the mind and body!
I have done numerous cleanses over the years and have known of The Master Cleanse for awhile. It is a 10 day commitment. I wanted to be full in the experience of this cleanse, so I waited until my season of guiding in Yellowstone was over, before I started The Master Cleanse.
This book is all you need and has all the information and more to do this cleanse properly. Stanley Burroughs came up with The Master Cleanse well over 50 years ago and thousands of people have received benefits from doing this cleanse.
Its not just about consuming this lemonade. Its about clearing your mind and body of Stagnation and Toxins. Both lemons and maple syrup have plenty of vitamins, minerals and nutrients for the body.
This is not a cleanse that deprives the body of needed vitamins and minerals. It does take self discipline to only drink the lemonade, salt water flush and laxative tea.
You can go longer than 10 days. I chose for my first experience, just 10 days. I did not feel hunger, but I did crave the taste of foods. At first the salt water flush was not easy for me. This consists of drinking 4 cups room temperature salt water in the morning on a empty stomach (which acts as a laxative). After a few days I found it would actually fill my belly and make me feel better. I had energy to hike, work, and do my everyday activities.
I don't believe I would suggest The Master Cleanse for everyone, but if you are interested in doing this cleanse, this is the book to have. When ending The Master Cleanse realize your stomach will have shrunk some, so gradually reintroduce foods, start with citrus, and don't over do it! |

Here I am again, in the midst of another off season from Wonderland. This gives me time to ponder and time to wander. In just a few hours I can be in a completely different climate of mind and land, either by plane, train, bus or other mode of vehicle transportation. On some occasions you can even travel by foot to these mystical spaces. I live in an area, known as the Heart of The Rockies, and as is with a lot of mountain weather, we have what are called micro-climates. This means that you can travel a few miles away, cross a mountain range or large lave flow, and experience different weather patterns. Example would be, perhaps a day in May, it may be rainy or snowy here and be completely sunny at a place like Old Faithful or even Big Sky Montana. You might be wondering where I am going with this?
Hold on and here we will go in a moment.
Weather plays a very important role in my life and basically all life! I live in such a precious space within the United States. The water and air here is relatively pure and pristine. People are waking up and realizing their place in the world as a species and how all of us affect the ecosystem in which we live. I have spent a bulk of my adult life looking at humanity in a negative light. I can see the horrible damage as Homo Sapius Wreckus we have inflicted on our planet. We have allowed our society as a whole to get lost in a sea of material possessions and gadgetry. Putting us all in a constant state of distraction, that is, if we wish or so choose! We create our own weather patterns in our body. When we are sunny, we are all warm and cheerful, and healthy in body/mind/spirit. Cloudy days make us feel sluggish and perhaps under the weather, in the beginning stages of the pattern of disease. Cold Wet and Damp Days in our bodies of course, show us fever, chills, and sweating.
At the root of this all is a great imbalance! As humans we have both tried to separate and create nature. In the process we have done a real good job of separating ourselves from our world and the Great Cosmos. We have created chaos in the world around us, and it is expanding in every moment.
In moments of great chaos comes creation and a path that can lead us towards a balance. Something I see popping up all over the country, is a getting back to basics movement, or Green Movement. People are thinking about their resources and how to maximize them. We are learning of super foods, and living nutrition is being more available to all. While Farmers Markets are sprouting up and sharing in the growth and healing of the communities they are based in. This is truly an incredible time to be alive!
When I think of Medicinal Plants and balance within our bodies, I am almost always drawn to roots and barks. Recently I have refreshed my body and mind using the ginger root, and cinnamon bark in food and infusions. Ginger has a wonderful warming effect on the body, increases circulation, promotes sweating, reduces fevers, aids in digestion, and can alleviate pain. Cinnamon is good remedy for colds, fever, and digestive disorders. I love the way these two mix this time of year. It is a perfect mix of spice to warm up those stagnate days! It gets the circulation moving in our bodies and souls. Licorice Root is another one I am very fond of! It has been shown to regulate blood sugar, calms the stomach, mild laxative, and a potent expectorant easing spastic coughs, hoarseness and congestion.Licorice is known in Chinese Medicine to affect all 12 Meridians in the body. On occasion I have chewed on such roots and have found great balance in my body. It is also known as the Sweet Herb, chew on one and you will see why! I often use these herbs in combination with others.
Now these are but a few of the many wonderful roots and barks that Nature, Creator, God or the Universe provides us. Taking these 3 herbs and using them in food, infusions or as medicine can help our bodies and mind seek that balance. Of course just using a few herbs is not a cure all. You need rest, a good Nutrition Program and exercise. What I do feel, and even from the smells, is a refreshing crisp, yet warming snap of energy the surges through my body and soul. Letting me know, to flow, and continue to grow! |

| Relationships |

Something I have been pondering and watching for years. The most important thing is to have a good relationship and trust with yourself. If you rely on anyone else for your happiness, you are setting yourself up for disaster!
I have been fortunate over the years to have been involved in a handful of relationships, and even took up marriage for a time. I am the one whom seems to be good at match making, but yet have been in a situation with another that has been majorly fruitful for the both of us!
I seem to attract women with a lot of drama and expectations! Some of them even put those expectations on me, and do not except me for whom I am! Others have been totally lost and rely on me for everything!
I know I am a kind, caring and loving person! I do care for and truly love all of my friends! I got to a point in over a year ago, where I was very comfortable in my life, with where I was going, and where I was at. I put that energy into the Universe to find a mate to share my life with. And for some reason I again had drawn that energy of someone whom was not ready to except me for whom I was, and had way to many personal issues, and I even allowed myself to get caught up in her issues so much, that I neglected my own, and my own personal path in this Universe of Ours!
For whatever reason, and I am sure there are many, and I am not going to get caught up in them, we broke up, which was done by the other half, and much needed on both our parts! Of course I was hurt, but realized the positive release of such a situation!
This has allowed me to ask the question "Why do I attract these types of women in my life?" That would be very needy, and hurt women, whom are lacking many things in their spirit! I know I am a Lover of sorts, and of course a Healer! It is important at times to separate the two. I can meet someone and be so attracted to them on many levels, that I will neglect my faults or their faults and just see the beauty that is within them and around them. This is fine on a Healer point of view, but not so healthy in a relationship point of view. I allowed myself to get lost in my last relationship, as I have done in many before, and finally I am again gaining some ground on myself.
Now I know each of us have our own lives to live! And when we are lucky we meet someone else whom honors our purpose in this world and honors their purpose too. Gives support where needed, but remains true to themselves in positive ways. I had thought I was done with people playing mind games! But this is not the truth, for some people are not even aware that they play these games with others, or they are aware, and because of their ego have a hard time not doing this! I have been mad, angry, and frustrated over this! I do not blame anyone for these actions on my part of my emotions. It is something I should be aware of! There are many that lack a sense of self-confidence that is not ego based, or a sense of spirit in the same way! They are always looking for approval, sort of like a Lost Puppy of the Cosmos! ;-o) It is not up to anyone but themselves to find that inner peace! To put all of your cosmic cookies in one basket, and expect someone else to do your inner work, can not be done! We each have our own path to choose and walk!
Over two years ago, I had reached a state in myself where I was comfortable with my direction, and wanted to share that energy with someone else. I expressed this to the Universe, and one day was drawn online to a specific individual. I opened myself up to this person, but was continually abused, not accepted, and told that we have so many connections, but because of this, that or the other (mainly what others might think of us), that this could not work out. I hurt myself physically before my first visit with this person, and found myself in a needy situation with another needy person! And I became very unbalanced and began to loose a sense of self in this relationship.
I do not blame the other person at all for actions and reactions to things! I was the one that opened myself, became vulnerable to the situation, and I even allowed myself to fall in love, perhaps with an ideal instead of a reality! I could feel the negativity of the energy around me, but also the beauty of the other! And being the Healer I am, I prefer to focus on the positive over the negative. Could just see how two liked minds can work together, to make a better future for themselves and others, and was not really looking at the whole picture!
Well since our breakup and my heart hurt felt energy, I have been reborn sort to speak of! I spent hours reading the Bible and other Tomes I had. And for awhile I hopped off my spiritual path as a Shaman for this other person, and was beginning to loose my connection to God, for someone else! Now just because someone has a specific belief that could be based out of Fear or Guilt, does not mean it is a path all have to take! I am always a God Loving Person, not a God Fearing Individual! Nor do I really see a separation from us and God! I choose a Mystical Path of Spirituality and have been blessed by many one on one experiences with the Great Divine! I have not given up on the idea of relationships! I just know how important it is to have a great relationship within yourself and to be strong with that, so when you meet another, you don't give it away! I have so easily given it away for that beautiful smile or hug from another I have interest in! I have also been the one that will live out the whole relationship in my mind, before it has even had a chance to go anywhere! Now if that does not put expectations out there, than I don't know what does! ;-o)
Recently chatting with a friend going through a divorce, has met a very cool woman, and he has been in similar situations to me, I remember a great philosophy from my friend Carl. It is called the 3 Hour Philosophy. He states when interested in another, just give it 3 Hours at a time, and make the best of that time, don't read more or less into the situation. This is truly living in the moment! This does not mean, thinking of how he or she would make a great life mate or any other thoughts upon first meeting them. But one could recognize the many connections shared, and work at enjoying the time with this other individual. Another philosophy a friend of mine put on the table is called K.I.S.S. (which is Keep It Simple Stupid). Both of these ways of looking at relationships are very positive, and even work on a self level too, if one is having issues with motivation or self actualization, Keep It Simple Stupid, and give yourself a 3 Hour Philosophy! Take it one step at a time. Focus on a few simple task instead of the bigger goal!
I have seen time and time again, that the lac of communication or thinking another person thinks or feels a specific way, ruin relationships! I have been watching many people whom think, they have such a tight connection to their spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend, loose their relationship to the other, because of lac of communication on a verbal sense! This does not mean typing a letter to them after the fact, but actually communicating your thoughts as you feel them! We can all put ourselves in our own boxes. We can choose to label everything this or that. Even cut those out to us, that may be willing to give more than we expect! This is a choice we make! It really has nothing to do with another! This is our Life! When we are unhappy, we are the only ones to blame for such things! This is why the Buddhist believe we need to move beyond emotion! And when one transcends emotion, there is no attachment to anything, and perhaps one comes back to God or the Void! I enjoy emotion, I love feeling Happy, Joy and Love in my world! I do realize, so many times I have put my Cosmic Cookies in some others basket. Expecting someone other than yourself to walk your path in life, will only lead you down the road to self-destruction and self corruption! Take your life in your own Hands or give it up entirely to God, the Universe, Creator or whatever you believe in! And when the time is right, and as long as you are following your path and not others. You will open up that energy to attract what you need in order to grow and prosper in this world!
I want to repeat that I do not blame anyone for me not being happy at times! We are all responsible for our own lives, our own love, joy, happiness, sorrow and pain in this world! No matter what situation pops up in our lives, we all choose how we respond to it!
I hope we all will choose to Have a Great Life! |

Yes I am a very spiritual being!I follow a path that is not conventional to most! I strongly believe in One God, and that there are many paths to God's Home, but the way there is within and through our Hearts!
I have been so blessed over the years with meeting many people and seeing God reflected in so many things. It is when we try to separate ourselves from God that we have the problems, drama and issues that pop up in life. As Dr. Bronner put it "All one or none!". What he was talking about is there really is one God! This can not be fully expressed through one book, belief system or way of life! It is a personal journey within that one must take to know God! God is not a name or individual! Thinking of God in these terms only separates us from God! We are all one or none! Meaning we are all a part and are God on many levels! So why don't most people act this way. Well because we have allowed our minds/egos to rule our lives (which is what people might say the Devil made me do it.).
People that have lost touch with spirit and souly live in the material world, looking at only what they posses allows them only to stay in the mind or ego and not really with God! The best legacy anyone can leave behind is not buildings or things aquired, but kindness, love and compassionate service to others!
I do believe that picking up a good spiritual book or reading the bible can help a person to understand the way to truth and God! But it is way more than a book, and not one book or way has all the truth! The truth comes from within and from your Heart and God! It is very important to set time aside to just listen to your Heart and God! Find a place and time to sit still without any distractions. Means turn off the radio, tv, music, separate yourself from everyone and anything, put your pets in the other room or kids, and sit still in the quiet for at least 15 minutes and open up your heart to God! The more you do this, the easier it is to feel and see the Love and Truth that abounds within us and to know we are all God and all one, not separate! Think about how people would treat each other, if they truly knew that each person and thing is just a reflection of themselves on a certain level and that we are all one and all God! What a better world this would be! People would truly be nicer and more loving to each other, and would not fret over religion with wars and corruption, because they would come to realize, everything is connected, again We are all one, We are all God!
Go within, do what it takes to open up your Heart and realize you are more than yourself, you are God! Yourself is just an illusion which can keep you away from the beauty and love that is God! When you catch yourself caught up in something unhealthy, step back, still yourself and realize We are all One, you are not separate from God, but god reflected in Human form! And you have the ability each day to express that Love, Kindness, Compassion and Service to others!
We are all one, We are all God! |

This is more important in this time on the path of humans then in any other point in human history!
Whatever path you choose in faith or religion, it is in my hope and perhaps others that you will feel that Unconditional Love that is God!
I have been so fortunate in this life to know this! I am a Christian Spiritualist that has chosen the mystic path way to God! I see God reflected in everything in this world from the smallest grain of sand, to that steal bridge that spans across the great water way, and even the mountains and trees that reach out to heaven!
I know I am not a perfect person! I each day, reach out to Love and be Loved by others! Sometimes I hit walls and barriers, and sometimes I am blessed with that smiling and accepting face.
I will always choose love over hatred or indifference of any kind! I may not always agree with someone or something, but I am open and willing to understand why something is or is not!
I have been so blessed in this past year, by friendships old and new! I have look at my faults, and yes I know I have a few, lol!
I am growing, learning, loving and letting go when I can!
A person can live a life in fear and guilt and be so blinded that they are not able to feel the Love of God! This does sadden me! It can make people act and react in ways they thought were not possible! And then perhaps perpetuate even more fear and guilt (which are the real tools of satan!)!
I do not always express myself the way I should to others. This could be by a look, words or actions. For those of you that I have hurt in anyway, I hope you will find in your Heart to forgive me, let go of the past, and lets enjoy a Brilliant and Loving Future!
There are many things going badly now in our world!
The people in power have taught humanity to value things more than life itself! So we are in a world of Haves and Have Nots! The Haves want more (some of this is power over others) and of course the Have Nots just want a piece of what others have and a chance at that dream! Years ago, could people imagine the technology of today (perhaps in some science fiction book or film), but in reality people led much simplier lives and many more folks were happier with simplier things!
Now we are so overloaded with gadgets and stuff, and we have been loading our bodies with junk foods for over 100 years, we have dumbed down our society! We are at an apex of stupidity as far as humans go!
But there is hope!
You see there is something much bigger than anyone could imagine or fathom this is God! And God is Love and Compassionate in his greatness! Learning to Love, Forgiveness and being Compassionate to others opens up your Heart to God! Learning to let go of the bondages of your past, and to live a life in service to yourself and others out of a Loving and Compassionate Heart does change and make a better world, and brings you in Union with God!
This is my path! I am a Healer! I am here to Love people and my Planet and My God! I know there are many out there trapped in the lies of the world! Lost in what they have or don't have! I have been there and I struggle from time to time now! But if we work together we can make a better world! Seek the truth and it will set you free! Don't believe all you see or here, do your own research! And work at being a Loving and Caring being to others!
I am open to know in what ways I can help and Love others more completely! I have been blessed with the knowledge to Heal and I am in better shape than I have been in years, through my knowledge of Living Nutrition and my Connection to God (that which is Love).
If we all focus on Love and Compassion, and Forgiveness, this world will evolve into a Great Living Garden of Abundance for us all! |

| Swine Flu and World View |

Wow, time to get crazy about getting sick and dying or not?
Here come the fear mongers and they are working hard to get the masses turned into organic gases!
For the past few days I have been doing research, watching and listening to the news. It seems that Swine Flu is all over the place. Now there are interest in the world that make a lot of money in vaccinations and medicines that claim to cure or aid in the recovery of flus or viruses. Most of these shots and drugs do more harm than good and can even cause death.

In the last week I have been looking at ways of detoxing and fasting. I am currently doing a parasite cleanse and have passed some of those buggers out of my system. Many of the herbs I am using also are wonderful for combating viruses without causing harm to the bodies systems. Now anytime you detox, you will usually experience some discomfort while going through the process. This can come in the form of a fever, congestion, nausea, and skin eruptions. Your body has unique way of cleansing itself, so it is good to try to relax and let it release those toxins.
Many good things act as great Anti-Virals. Such as MMS, Hydrosol Silvers, and Herbs like Osha Root, Oregano, Garlic, and there are many more! Some of these things you can take to prevent or even on the onset of symptoms of disease and they will nip it in the butt! I have used everything mentioned above except the MMS, which I am currently doing research on and shall be ingesting soon. I will blog about this later.
Basically what I am saying here, is don't let them scare you! Be prepared wherever you are! Get some of these Natural Medicines and Learn how to take them! And you will be fine and will definitely be without the flu from the swine! |

| Politicians Public or Private? |
[Apr. 10th, 2009|10:03 am] |
| [ | mood |
| | hopeful | ] |
In the past year and with the past presidential election, I have done much research and have had my eyes opened in many ways!
Are our politicians public or private?
Now you may be asking yourself "What does he mean by public or private?".
This is a good question and what I mean is : Are our politicians working for people as a whole, meaning the public interests or for private companies or corporate interests.
From my research it shows me that really when people get so involved in our modern society of politics it is all about money. So if the people are not providing enough money, these folks go to private industry or corporations for such funds.
Now to be involved in the political world it takes an ego and lots of money! I do not think that one of our presidents did not have help to get where they were or are! And many avenues lead us to believe (those that research this subject), that perhaps all of our presidents have been picked before hand. Meaning and elite group of people fool the masses into thinking they have a free vote on the president!
I use to think that one president might be better than the other. And after going through 8 years of seeing our rights being taken away and the economy take a big flop, I too was desperate for change! Now looking at this, it all seems like a big puzzle as the pieces are being put together, it seems that their is a much bigger picture that the masses don't see. It was like a bunch of wealthy people came together and said "Lets create a problem, make things so bad, that people will do anything for a change! We will give them a pretty face, someone much better with words and we will slowly take away rights! Because people will be so caught up in the material world, and trying to get the things they want, that they will be lost in the confusion!"
Some of us feel it is our birthright to have what our parents and grandparents had without doing the work to get it. We have so much abundance in our world right now. So many people have been given a free ride for such a long time, that now when its time to pay or do the work, it brings on great confusion. I have been part of the problem and in my life I have lived out of my means. Meaning I have charged things, not paid for things in cash and lived beyond my means. And in many people's mind I might still be doing that! I am working on paying my debts off (which for the record are around $7000, not much considering the rest of society that was tricked into college loans and buying homes and other things they really can not afford). You can blame society or the government, parents etc, but in reality it is up to us to be responsible for our own actions! You can also allow this to overwhelm you, but there is no need too. Just step back, take a look at the big picture, and do what you feel is right in your heart!
We live in a Capitalist State, meaning buying and selling is what makes our economy work. When folks don't spend money or invest, we have problems! And some of us believe Fear and Guilt which is being pushed out by the elite through the media control these things. Many people and books have predicted the problem we now face! They have been talking about this for ages! This is not something new! And we have gone through hardships before! We as a people can stand up for our rights! Voting on a local level, does a lot more for your country than what president you have voted for! Think about the things that are really important in your life! It might be freedom of speech or choice. It could be the right to have arms (guns). Our constitution which our founding fathers wrote with the idea that they were leaving a society that had become to constricting in many ways, put many things on paper to allow us to be a true Democracy! So exercise your Constitutional Rights! Pick up a Pocket Constitution, you can find one online at Amazon and other places for around $3. Keep it with you and let those know that you know your rights as a U.S. Citizen and that you will fight for your rights! Keep your eyes and mind open! The will try to deceive you on every level! And they may create some crazy distractions to get you to vote your rights out, do not let this persuade you! Somethings to look for, another disaster whether natural or like 911. And them wanting us to go to a One World Money, One World Bank, One World Religion or Government. Do not let this happen! Protect your rights! Do not let Fear or Guilt guide you!
Just because things are written, does not mean things are set in stone! We have been given Free Will for a reason! And the messages that have been given to us, give us a great opportunity for change!
Some of you might have your hopes up for our new president. He is of the same old bloodlines and is caught up in the same things his predecessors have been in. They are all puppets for the elite, to give us a show, and to keep the masses at bay, herded up like sheep, to make us sheeple. And many of us have had the wool pulled over our eyes for way to long! So yes I am saying Obama is like Bush, Clinton, Reagan and all that is before. They are just public figures that are being pulled by other sources. This is not beyond our control. Our country is set up so that the people can reacte and take action against tyranny. We all have choices! We can choose to pay for things that we actually can afford. We can buy things that do not support what the elite have been doing to us for many years. Meaning you can buy from local people instead of the big corporations, support local organic farmers, and say you do not want pesticides or genetically altertered products! You might be saying, well these things are more expensive or not so easy to get where I live. In the long run they really are not that expensive and you can make an effort to get those things. I know, I live in a small mountain town, and I am not at this moment making a large amount of money, but I find ways! When it comes down to it, we have a great future ahead of us! We can make that change on a local level, that will stretch out beyond! It is time for us as a human race to evolve beyond finger pointing, and to take responsibility for our own actions. To create a better world! One that is about service to others, bringing about peace, compassion and unconditional love! And believe me and in yourself, that one person can make a difference!
Namaste'
God Bless
May the creator smile upon you
Shalom

| Crazy World Not So Crazy Hopes!!! |
[Mar. 27th, 2009|11:48 am] |
| [ | mood |
| | amused | ] |
In the past year my eyes and heart have opened up in many ways! I have so much thanks to give to friends and family for being patient with me and giving many good thoughts and insights to the world around and within me!
We live in crazy times, perhaps the craziest times humanity has seen! There is a lot of corruption running rampant in all parts of society and this has been going on for years and years! We can sit down, look at the facts and point figures at this president's administration or that president's administration, the G20, Illuminata, Free Masons, Bilderberg Group, World Bank, Satan, Reptilians, etc, or we can take responsibility within ourselves to help each other climb out of the mess that we are all apart of in some way or form.
In our human past we have seen people treat other people fairly badly. Some have been cast out because of the color of their skin or their philosophical views or religious beliefs. Some have been manipulated by people in power to preform most horrible acts on themselves and others through mind manipulation and control (MK Ultras, see Cathy O'brien's story; http://www.scribd.com/doc/10518854/OBrienPhillips-TRANCEFormation-of-America-MKULTRA-Mind-Control-Victim-Speaks-Out-1995). Others are blinded by the media and its many forms of brain washing, telling us we need this or that, or to buy this or that. The bottom line is no matter what is being pushed at us, we have the ability and some believe God Given Right to Free Will! This means that we can make changes within our beings! We can be better to each other and instead of operating out of Greed, we can open our hearts and act out of Love and Compassion!
There is a strong pull to keep people in a sheeple mode, and to keep the wool over our eyes, so as to create a One World Government! With this idea the people that are in power will try to pit us all against each other, create a One World Currency and take away our Basic Constitutional Rights! I have come to believe in the last year that not one president is better than the other, I think they are all playing in the same game and plan for World Domination! What we think is change, may not really be the change we are looking for in the long run! Our founding fathers that created the Constitution saw a need for separate currency and governments accross the globe, meaning we have to have check and balances. It the past years we have seen organizations that were ment to do such things, merge with others. We are now seeing the prophecies and end times that many cultures and religions speak of.
Now a lot of this can be overwhelming and seem a little far fetched, but if you Google or Yahoo or use whatever search engine you want, you will find the truth in much of what I am saying.
It is important to know what is going on! It is also important to speak out your mind when given the chance, this is what freedom and liberty are about! You can sit around and enjoy the marvels of modern technology and all of your toys and get lost in such things! Or you can use such things to educate and motivate, to create positive action! You can also allow yourself to become depressed, and this too can create stagnation in your life, or you can take the information and "Just Say Know!", and work at being a positive role model for yourself and others! When people come together with comon goals, there is a lot that can be accomplish! I have great hope in Humanity! We can and will be better for one another! Think more with your Heart and not with your pocket book! Do random acts of Kindness and Love and Compassion whenever you can! And be good to yourself! Learn to Forgive! Learn to Love! And at times when needed, Learn to Let Go! If we all work on a Loving, Kind and Compassionate Society that is what we will attract (The Laws of Attraction)!
Peace
Namaste'

Ginger, Zingiber Officinale, has been used for thousands of years. Used mainly to aid digestion and counter nausea. As a stimulant, it helps to improve peripheral circulation. In fevers it promotes sweating. It is also used to trea colic and flatulence. Externally it is used to ease muscle strain and increase circulation in the body.
Ginger is a native plant of Asia, and may be found throughout the tropics, a place where it thrives, rich soils and warm climates. In the U.S. it is grown in Florida and Texas.
Ginger has a history that goes many years into the past. It is possible that spice caravans were carrying dried Ginger from India to the middle east over 5,000 years ago. Ginger is a popular spice and it is believed that its healing characteristics have been used in China for thousands of years. In fact it is mentioned in Emperor Shun Hung's Pen, Tsao Ching (The Classic Book of Herbs), which he wrote in 3,000 B.C.E.. It was most likely introduced to the U.S. around the 15th century when the spanish came to our country.
Ginger can be found in most food stores and is a common spice used in many culinary dishes. Its dried form is used in herbal infusions, to ease nausea and aid digestion. Juices that have been extracted from Ginger have also been used ti treat sore muscles and bring improved circulation to specific parts of the body.
It has a spicey citrus taste and brings warmth to the body. This is a great herb to warm our insides during these coldest of months. To improve our circulation of mind/body and spirit. It can be used regularly with little to no bad side effects. Check with your local grocery store or health food store for Ginger in its many forms, and stay warm and healthy.

| Whirlwind Trailward |

Whirlwind grabs his pack and staff and heads onward from his camp, deep into the forest. His owl friend takes flight and is never to far from his side, as he makes his way through and over the roots in this ever twisting wood. Soon he finds an old animal path, the ground moist with the morning dew, he smiles, stops, takes a deep breathe and hears the "who who" of his owl companion in the distance. Infusing his thoughts and mind, the energy of his brew soars through his body. He picks up his pace as the shadows dance upon his face. This is a new path, but a similar journey. Whirlwind is not sure when or where this sacred space is, but he is determined to get there on time, that is whenever that will be. Butterflies are in his stomach, a slight nervous feeling in the belly, soon warmed by a clearing of trees and the rays of the sun, flowing as if through his cloak right into his belly. A rise in the trail, lets him know he is approaching a mountain path.
An old man back in town a few days back, had told him that there would be a rise in the land, an actual lip, it perhaps rose a good 500 feet, then sloped down about 200 feet. This wise man told Whirlwind, that on the top of this earthen lip, he would see the sacred trail to his mountain, and that would just be the beginning of his magical journey.
Whirlwind climbs up this gentle slop, he can feel the power of the earthen green below his feet, and for a moment has lost sight of his feathered friend, but senses her presence. He feels safe and secure in his surroundings and knows the Goddess shall provide. His body tingles with excitement, and with each new step, he feels his worldly delight. A breeze comes softly through the trees moving them like well groomed hair on some magical Giantess. The path moves upward as energy builds up in Whirlwind. He smiles and laughs a bit, feeling lite on his feet and in his belly, for he is on his 3rd day of his fast. |
