Welcome 2017

It’s not about the big resolutions-that huge list of all the promises you make to do or be better. Soon after the list is made, overwhelm sets in and you fall off the wagon. We have all been there. This year for me it’s going to be different. My end of year goal is to be in a healthier place-in all aspects of my life. Spiritually Emotionally Physically Financially I’m going to approach this with gentle shifts. I have been asking and receiving guidance from Spirit- yep, you read it right. Spirit- as in The Holy Spirit, God, Universe, divine intelligence – whatever you want to call it. First message is to focus on adding positive, good, healthy habits- instead of focusing on what you’re going to give up or not have. What healthy items are you adding to your Life?

Row your boat

Row Row Row Your Boat Gently Down the Stream Merrily Merrily Merrily Merrily Life is but a Dream Lately this song has been running itself over and over in my head. I know it is because Wayne Dyer has passed, he was my favorite author. I love the idea, that everything we needed to know about living a stress free life, was given to us in a song, when we were in kindergarten. ROW, ROW, ROW, YOUR BOAT- we’re supposed to be actively engaged, working, experiencing joy, living our own lives (he would’ve said dharma). Pursue your passion, find your meaning. Never mind what other people are doing or saying you should do. When you’re on a boat, there is constant movement. Our lives are a lot like that. Constant movement, constant change. Just keep rowing your boat. GENTLY DOWN THE STREAM- there should be a flow to what you’re doing. Like with the water, you don’t see water trying to crash through rocks, it flows around the rocks. Sometimes the rocks are in the stream to shift your path, when you’re on the right path things are not difficult. Don’t try rowing upstream. You came here for a purpose, live your purpose. I personally love nature, I live in the country, I have a vegetable garden and flower gardens, I like to keep things simple. I am a spirit having a human experience. I enjoy it the most when I float gently down the stream. LIFE IS BUT A DREAM- we come here with nothing, they’re leaving here with nothing. But that doesn’t mean do nothing! Everyone has to earn a living, pay the rent, feed themselves. But if you can relax and ask yourself what’s important to you, in its simplest form and go from there. Life could be a lot less stressful. Wayne Dyer will always be remembered, it’s nice that you can listen to his tapes and hear his voice. When I read his books I hear his voice. Did Wayne Dyer leave an impact on your life? Please share in the comments below.  

Fermented Elixirs?

 

Kefir a truly wonderful elixir.   Kefir is a fermented beverage, teaming with beneficial probiotics. It also contains a variety of enzymes, organic acids, and B vitamins. Kefir actually means “feel good” in Turkish. If you don’t want to consume dairy, water Kefir is an excellent nondairy probiotic source. When properly cared for and regularly cultured, the grains will produce a wonderful probiotic rich beverage, which continues to grow and reproduce indefinitely.  Drinking Kefir water will contribute to having a healthy immune system. It helps with the digestion of food and micronutrients. Reduces the symptoms of IBS. It has increased my energy and overall feeling of good health. My cravings for sugar have also been reduced. I’m really pleased with how strong my nails seem to be since I started drinking the Kefir.   Taking care of Kiefer Kiefer is grown in a glass jar. Any size, depends on how many seeds you have and how long you want to ferment them. I use a quart mason jar. When your Kefir ferments to your desired taste. (Mine reminds me off old fashion cream soda) Strain out the Kefir grains.                  This needs to be done with plastic not metal. Metal will kill Kefir grains.   grains In a 1 quart jar, I add the seeds, a quarter cup of sugar, and a tablespoon of Mineral Essence. (You can also use honey or molasses with the sugar).   sugar and grains I put in all the ingredients; add water (needs to be spring water, no chlorine, no fluoride) and shake it up. My kefir ferments for about four days. I like using the mason jars because I can just set the metal cap on top of the jar (these canning lids have a lining so no metal touches the kefir). When the kefir ferments it likes to burp,  you want your lid to be loose, the  gas can get out. grains and water   When my Kefir ferments to where I like it, I drain off the seeds,  I place this “water” in a glass jar, and put it in the refrigerator. Some time I will add Ningxia Red or Nitro to the Kiefer water. I have also added lemon juice, that makes a very refreshing drink. nred I started drinking a Dixie cup every morning as soon as I woke up. And now I look forward to more than 12 ounces every morning. I am very thankful to Jan for sharing these beautiful Kefir seeds with me.
