Our next Friday circle will be a tribute to “Just for today, I will honour my elders and teachers” (reiki rule). My posts follow that principle quite regularly, because I honour a spiritual or creative ancestor on his/her birthday, in some cases, a sibling, and in rare cases, a spiritual descendant – because I seeContinue reading “Heroes – Before and While Sheltering In Place”

Lie After Lie – Discernment
By the way.. It is totally okay to ignore the media for long stretches of time… Just like everything fear-based and fear stimulating, and other (individual) pathological liars… Though we can hand it to the media: no one can cause this much fear, circulate that many lies, speak to learned helplessness and emotional triggers asContinue reading “Lie After Lie – Discernment”
The Superior Money Management of Asian Immigrants
Ponder this: in the US, a dollar earned stays within the Asian community for a month, while it stays in the Jewish community for 20 days, in white communities for 17 days, in black communities for 6 hours. I guess it is time to learn from Asian immigrants about money management. And what it meansContinue reading “The Superior Money Management of Asian Immigrants”
“To Love Water Is To Love Ourselves, To Love Life.”
Jason’s words. I could not express it better. “In my work with water, the message I have received has been one of abiding strength and unassailable life. Water is a most clarifying medicine with the power to cleanse, to wear down any obstacle, to dissolve any calcified blockage, to freeze the overwrought, and to liftContinue reading ““To Love Water Is To Love Ourselves, To Love Life.””

No Virus Is Stronger Than Life
I woke up on Saturday morning and noticed that I had lost two tiny warts, one in my palm, the other on my sole. I have used a lot of solutions on those tiny buggers in the last 7 years. Fig juice (from my parents’ fig trees) shrunk them noticeably, but once I was inContinue reading “No Virus Is Stronger Than Life”
Mother’s Day
I am grateful to my mom’s health consciousness, sincerity and artistic gifts. When I was a kid, I did appreciate her sense of beauty, good eye and widespread creativity. It was only much later that I considered myself very lucky to have had a mother who gravitated to healthy food / vegetables and homemade dishesContinue reading “Mother’s Day”

Full Moon In May
Happy full moon! If you want to meditate tonight (too), may your guidance lead you to your blessings. You can ask that a sweeter satisfaction be shown to you. Pay attention to the sensations, impressions, imagery you receive. And then, do what was shown to you in the coming few days, as soon as youContinue reading “Full Moon In May”
Your Life Is Dear. So Is Your Love.
Even if you despise platitudes, you might have experienced what the other person is describing. You just don’t agree with the conclusion or the way it is said. Know when it is important to establish rapport and know when you are tolerating too much. When you get a sick feeling about the way a personContinue reading “Your Life Is Dear. So Is Your Love.”
Thay
“Whenever we hear a conversation or witness an event, our attention can be appropriate or inappropriate. If we are mindful, we will recognize which is which, nurture appropriate attention, and release inappropriate attention, noting, ‘I am aware that this inappropriate attention will not benefit me or those I care about.’ When we know how toContinue reading “Thay”

Verdant May
I am grateful for this beautiful day in May. So sunny, so green. An open blue sky that appears endless. You can tell why so many poets, musicians, philosophers of many eras and regions were exuberantly creative on days like that and expressed reverence for and resonance with classic spring days.. It is a sweetContinue reading “Verdant May”

Love for Love’s Sake; Protest Out Of Love Too
I find it good to challenge and question everything that offends us, our love and sense, in a world that is losing both. I find it good to add beauty and encouragement to all things that elevate us, that promote our love and sense, for the (less evident) part of the world that has neverContinue reading “Love for Love’s Sake; Protest Out Of Love Too”
Make Art. Promote Art. Be You
It takes guts to add to the beauty and profundity of the world. Keep moving forward anyway. When you get tired, rest. But focus on what you know. Let all appearances pass. All that you want to do is what you need to do. Be YOU. NJ,28 February 2015

Other low cost immunity and serenity boosters that are good to keep in your kitchen (and add to your soups, smoothies, dishes) – turmeric powder: amazing anti-inflammatory spice that gets stronger in combination with red, chilli, or black pepper – magnesium: when you are stressed, easily stressed, or don’t have enough rest or sleep.

Dreaming While In Social Isolation
It is nice to think of gatherings in the near future, the food we will share, the music we will listen to, the people who will come and party with us. NJ 25 March 2020
