The Offering of Covid 19

These suggestions by Dr. Jonice Webb are uplifting. I have more for you: – Slow down your breathing at least three times a day.– “Dream up” and visualize your ideal income situation and service. Recall the people who don’t need an escape and who are grateful and thrilled to do their work. How could youContinue reading “The Offering of Covid 19”

Could the Corona Virus Outbreak Be the Beginning of Mass Pandemics?

“We are going into largely undisturbed places and being exposed more and more. We are creating habitats where viruses are transmitted more easily, and then we are surprised that we have new ones. We are researching how species in degraded habitats are likely to carry more viruses which can infect humans. Simpler systems get anContinue reading “Could the Corona Virus Outbreak Be the Beginning of Mass Pandemics?”

Apple and Citrus Skins With Warm Spices

Here is a recipe that is less medicinal than “my” lemon (lime/grapefruit) peel tea, but has a better flavour. It will make your house smell heavenly. Most people find the scent of cinnamon and apple very pleasant and “cozy”. Apples have a strong symbolic link with Aphrodite and love, in our subconscious. Cinnamon and theContinue reading “Apple and Citrus Skins With Warm Spices”

Look Deeply: Watch Your Consumption

The scrutiny you apply when you read the content on some jar that you will consume, use it when you read information. Or, if you are good at assessing the information you read, read the ingredients on the products you consume with the same discernment. (Only great musicians deserve groupies. Even that is debatable. IContinue reading “Look Deeply: Watch Your Consumption”

Animal Being, In Romance

Have you ever noticed that the courtship between animals is a lot more stylish than ours? A display of abilities that are cool and fun – flying, dancing, singing, home building. Thought for the week: All males on this planet are wired to impress. The two-legged are no different. Men want to impress, love toContinue reading “Animal Being, In Romance”

Neighbourly Thanks – While Social Distancing

Be safe. Be well. Send your gratitude to the nurses, doctors, hospital staff for their courage and service to life. Be grateful for everyone helping in this crisis, everyone providing you with necessities, everyone kind and sane, everyone who choses prosocial, neighbourly behaviour. Find the good in self-isolation. This too shall pass.  NJ, 17 MarchContinue reading “Neighbourly Thanks – While Social Distancing”

Refine, Appreciate, Co-Create

#newmoon #April #newmooninTaurus #selfnurturing #renewalfromwithin Last night’s moon infused the air with a high-quality and genuine energy. A reminder that it is alright to beautify the spaces you spend time in, regardless of what everyone else is doing, how much it may be overlooked or appreciated, and whether the timing is right – because youContinue reading “Refine, Appreciate, Co-Create”

Earth Day 2020

Staying plastic-free during the pandemic has become very challenging. Most people claim that it is almost impossible in most regions. If you have embarked on a zero waste journey too, all I can say now is that the process (research and new choices) is something no one can take away from us – and thatContinue reading “Earth Day 2020”

February Miracle

In the last months, I noticed that I am no longer attracted to “chaotic vibes” that used to hook into me energetically in the past. Via relationships. It isn’t easy being the sober and grounded one among addicts; it is hard to be the spiritual and compassionate one among the personality disordered — let meContinue reading “February Miracle”

“Music Is Sunshine.”

“Like sunshine, music is a powerful force that can instantly and almost chemically change your entire mood. Music gives us new energy and a stronger sense of purpose….. Music is something you can’t hold in your hands, or smell it, taste it, even see it, yet somehow just coming together and feeling these little vibrationsContinue reading ““Music Is Sunshine.””

The Pleasure Principle Wins Every Time

When Michael Franti traveled in Iraq, Afghanistan and Palestine/Israel with his guitar and camera person in the early millennium, he learned that people in war zones — just like people who enjoy some comforts and freedom from daily anxiety about making it through the day in one piece — prefer love songs and celebratory songsContinue reading “The Pleasure Principle Wins Every Time”

State of Emergency

#selfisolation #stateofemergency #March2020 #coronavirus #intheneighbourhood I am grateful to the kind neighbours who make themselves available to those who have difficulty obtaining medicine and provisions. It is so healing to observe the humane and loving attitudes in the neighbourhood. I already took care of this household, days before the state of emergency was declared. IContinue reading “State of Emergency”
