Spring Cleaning
I keep all these notes from work about interesting facts, links, or ideas. Of course... all those notes end up in a big, messy pile that I just can't stand. Time to sort through and publish the most useful of them!
"Adapt to the pace of Nature, for her secret is patience." - Ralph Waldo Emerson, poet, 1803 - 1882
"Of remedies oft in ourselves do lie, which we ascribe to heaven." - William Shakesphere
"Earth's crammed with heaven." - Elizabeth Barrett Browning
"Its a funny thing about life; if you refuse to accept anything but the best you very often get it." - Somersel Maugham
"In the night the cabbages catch at the moon, the leaves drip silver, the rows of cabbages are series of little silver waterfalls in the moon." - Carl Sandburg
Good foods to nibble before bedtime - cooked apples, brussel sprouts, tofu, millet, oats, walnuts and squash.
Choose cloudy apple juice over clear! Unfiltered apple juice contains four times more free radical fighting polyphenols than filtered. (Or just eat an apple!)
What to do when you feel afraid.
Pause - create space for what is happening inside you.
Name it. What are you afraid of?
Remember a larger truth.
Breathe with the fear - fully experience it.
If you are numb, empathize breathing in.
If you are feeling like things are too intense, empathize breathing out.
Offer compassion to yourself.
Turn your attention elsewhere.
Here is an idea... take any fruit or vegetable that you like and try to find it in literature!
The yam/sweet potato debate... in New Guenia, if a woman plants it, it is a sweet potato, if a man plants it, it is a yam.
"Mother feed me, I am hungry." - Filipino prayer, recited while planting rice.
Information on... beans!
Beans enrich and replenish the soil. Beans are often grown with corn so the corn can serve as natural bean poles!
Well cooked beans means very soft!
Ginger, cumin, hing, black pepper, and chilies are all good friends to beans because they stimulate the digestive fire, Agni. These spices are traditionally sauteéd in ghee or oil before being added toa dish. Savory is called "the bean herb" and customary season in Europe. Sauteé dried herbs in a little oil before adding.
Advice for those with Low Blood Sugar
Try 200mg of chromium daily to remove symptoms of low blood sugar.
Have your main meal at lunch, keep a regular eating schedule, and make dinner a vegetarian meal.
Eat whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and fresh whole fruits and veggies.
Try adding coriander, cumin, fennel, cilantro, basil, rosemary, and turmeric to your diet.
Drink hot, boiled water to strength the digestion system, cut cravings, and normalize appetite, hunger, and weight. (Explains why I do so well on three large mugs of green tea a day!)
