Certified Health Coach, Yoga & Meditation Teacher, Thai Massage Therapist, Nutritionist & Food as Medicine Educator ~For 35 years I've been practicing what I teach, returning hOMe to Nature to realign my health; eating organic, earth-made food & avoiding what harms. My hope is to lead others back hOMe to Mother Nature & to self- healing & regeneration. Private Sessions & classes held in Wakefield, RI & Martha's Vineyard.

hOMnaturale: yoga & natural family health</h2>
<div>
My image of a naturally healthy family is a scene set around a kitchen table, with bright eyed faces smiling and taking breaks between breaking bread and chewing to converse and share thoughts on what's on everyone's plates: garden fresh vegetables and personal or collective events.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A cacophony of passing condiments and comments on how delicious Mamma's meat and potatoes are, or how sweet the garden carrots turned out; how fun it was to bike to school, or how challenging it was to present an oral report or be confronted by an angry friend at school, are all part of this vision of a healthy family.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Being able to create the space, a seat for our soul, to release emotions in a safe, nourishing place... one's hOMe, is vital to maintaining health. At the table we rest, digest and grow when we sit to hold space for the sacred ingestion of all that life offers us.<br />
<br />
Processing our life experiences and our food, happens each time we take pause to sit and chew. We can and should become consciously aware of this life affirming opportunity to grow 2-3 times each day, with the breaking of our fast, the mid day lunch we so often truly need, and our evening's supplemental meal called supper which if nutrient dense, but light, should help us create the harmony we so often need at the end of our days.<br />
<br />
And with authentic expression to self or others, in prayer, word or action, we can assimilate what we take in, appreciating all that we take in to taste and utilize or eliminate and compost to help make and grow more food. Feeding one's body, mind and soul with nutrient-dense love on a daily basis is key to for remembrance and renewal, especially if the space for our food and body's roots is able to transform and enrich us.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The main course of your meals, whether sitting with a table full of family, or just you and a sink full of pots and pans, should always be LOVE. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

My work as a Health Coach here on the island, allows me to massage the stress (tension, emotions, stored trauma) therapeutically from the necks, back & shoulders (scalenes, occiput, jaws!!), chest (pectoralis, diaphragm) and hips (psoas) of my clients; my work teaching yoga to the open and willing practitioner encourages introspection and awareness, the recognition and release of tension and the expression of joy and inner happiness. Listening to and observing my clients cues me in to their inner nature and to how their lives may be going against their best nature and functioning. </div>

Wash and dry all vegetables. Lightly rub olive oil salt and pepper on kale then grill on low both sides. Be careful no to burn the kale. Next steam the kale for three minutes and immediately shock in cold water. Next cut celery and carrot in julienne strips. Slice apple and prepare blue cheese. To assemble the salad put kale in mixing bowl and toss with vinaigrette. Place kale on the plate and top with carrots, celery, blue cheese and apples.</div>

<span style="line-height: 1.5; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Maybe it was running across the word Kummerspeck (literally translated from German as “grief bacon,” meaning weight put on through emotional eating). A strange term if there ever was one… The fact is, I’ve always been fascinated by how languages can reflect particular feelings or phenomena most of us would never think to put a word to. When it comes to the <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-power-of-words-how-we-talk-about-food/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">language of health</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[1]</sup> and well-being, I think certain terms have the unique power to literally shift our perception. They make us think differently about the <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/action-item-3-make-the-healthiest-choices-across-the-spectrum/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">choices in front of us</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[2]</sup> and the ways we interact with the the world. What health concepts can we learn from other cultures? How might they change our understanding of the choices we make every day – or how we view our options for living in general? Perhaps you have your own foreign terms that come to mind. I think these six concepts offer some intriguing food for thought.</span></div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
</div>
<h2 style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Waldeinsamkeit</h2>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
This German word (a mouthful, right?) means woodland solitude. As a combination of Wald (forest) and Einsamkeit (solitude or loneliness), the term evokes the <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/solitude-health/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">quiet and seclusion</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[3]</sup> we can feel in the wilderness. With so many of us living in <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/city-living-is-it-a-brain-drain/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">crowded cities</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[4]</sup> or suburbs these days, the feeling of Waldeinsamkeit can almost be a nostalgic experience.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
When was the last time you were alone in the forest – secluded with nothing but the sound of the wind through the trees and bird calls from various corners of the wood? It’s a rarer instance these days, and I think that fact suggests there’s <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-call-of-the-wild/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">something endangered about this aspect of the human spirit</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[5]</sup>. The statement might sound draconian, but perhaps Waldeinsamkeit as a concept underscores a certain core experience to primal humanity, an experience that fewer of us have these days and most of us have less often. Who’s up for changing this?</div>
<h2 style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Shinrin-yoku</h2>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
While we’re on the subject of forests, here’s a tangible reason to get lost in the woods this weekend. Translated as “forest bathing,” shinrin-yoku is a growing trend and research-backed medical practice in Japan. The Japanese government has even partnered with the medical community to offer free check-ups in park areas and to designate official “forest therapy” sites.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Research on the effects of shinrin-yoku has <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forest-bathing/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">demonstrated the power of a 3-day trip</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[6]</sup> to the forest to decrease blood pressure, pulse rate, and cortisol levels. But the real kicker is the impact on the body’s NK (natural killer) cells, lymphocytes that fight off infection and cancer growth as well as anti-cancer protein expression. The benefits, studies show, can last up to a month!</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
As the Primal logic suggests, activities that mirror the <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/what-would-grok-do/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">best of our evolutionary upbringing</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[7]</sup> will prompt the best hormonal and cellular responses, which then support the best mental and physical outcomes. When you have the chance to <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/sheltered-missing-the-primal-power-of-nature/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">get to the wilderness</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[8]</sup>, for the love of <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/about-2/who-is-grok/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Grok</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[9]</sup> go! If you don’t have the chance, create the opportunity for yourself as soon as you can.</div>
<h2 style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Friluftsliv</h2>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Try saying that five times as fast as you can…. Translated literally as “free air life,” it encompasses the emotional and <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/spiritual-encounters-in-nature/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">spiritual well-being</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[10]</sup> to be had by being/living outside. However we choose to spend our time outside (e.g nature photography, hiking, <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/20-ways-to-cultivate-intermittent-euphoria-in-your-life/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">trail running</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[11]</sup>, Tai Chi in the park, picnicking, bike riding, Ultimate Frisbee or even napping), there’s something to the outdoor experience that’s unique and works on our mental mood.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
As I’ve mentioned here before, <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/16-ways-green-space-improves-your-life/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">time outdoors</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[12]</sup> works on our emotional, hormonal and overall physiological responses as well. Exercising outdoors, for one, has been shown to offer better stress relief than working out indoors.</div>
<h2 style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Koyaanisqatsi</h2>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
A Native American term from the Hopi culture, koyaanisqatsi means “crazy life” or even life out of balance. The larger sense behind the word suggests a way of life that is falling apart, a state of affairs that calls for another way of being.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
We might be tempted to see the concept in our personal lives, and I can certainly see the applicability there. When we find ourselves overrun with insane commutes and overwhelming commitments, we eventually hit a point of critical mass. When we live in tune with our physical bodies, we realize we’re being called to find a new way of life, <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/what-does-it-mean-to-have-balance-in-your-life/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">a better life balance</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[13]</sup>.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Truer to the original intent, koyaanisqatsi refers to larger cultural conditions that can make life unsustainable – at both a sociological and ecological level. It’s not hard to see the applicability of this term to much of modern times. For all the benefits, much of modern life <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/how-noise-impacts-your-health/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">confounds our primal psychologies</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[14]</sup>, not to mention the natural order of ecological balance. I think Primal can have something to do with that <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-pleasures-of-slow-living/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">new way of living</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[15]</sup> in response….</div>
<h2 style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Uitwaaien</h2>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
After getting into the <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/walking-the-human-condition/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">walking series</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[16]</sup> a couple of months ago, I was taken in by this Dutch term, which means to take a break to walk outside and <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/just-walk-it-off-how-walking-can-improve-your-emotional-well-being/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">clear one’s head</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[17]</sup>.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Clearly, this concept hits on the need for outdoor time, but it also suggests something essential to the primal picture. Modern life drains us with such emphasis on directed attention. The result? We get emotionally irritable and mentally fatigued. The opposite of this is involuntary attention, the kind of unfocused but <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/what-difference-can-being-present-make/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">attentive presence</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[18]</sup> that would characterize Grok’s scanning of the horizon. Yet, this kind of attention plays such a small role in our day. We, being creatures of free will, have a choice.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Instead of hopping online at night or doing a crossword, we can give ourselves time to not think (an earth-shattering concept, no?). How about watching the dog play like a fool in the yard or going for a walk where we don’t have to watch for traffic? <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-power-of-daydreaming/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Daydreaming</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[19]</sup>, anyone? Even mindless chores or creative hobbies that get us into a flow can offer enough cognitive variety to ease our weary modern brains.</div>
<h2 style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Arbejdsglæde</h2>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
This Danish word translates as “work happiness” or the satisfaction we feel with <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/would-grok-work-overtime/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">fulfilling work</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[20]</sup>. How many of us have felt this? When was the last time we did? Although we may situate our vocational vision outside of the work that pays the bills, do we experience <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/from-primal-passion-to-primal-business-turning-what-you-love-into-what-you-do-2/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">this kind of joy</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[21]</sup> in our professional, volunteer or hobby endeavors?</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
In a culture that can <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/reframing-your-definition-of-affluence/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">perseverate on money, prestige</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[22]</sup>, and comparison, Arbejdsglæde is one more reminder that vocational fulfillment is a means of genuine happiness – and inclusive well-being.</div>

The statement might sound draconian, but perhaps Waldeinsamkeit as a concept underscores a certain core experience to primal humanity, an experience that fewer of us have these days and most of us have less often. Who’s up for changing this?</div>

Shinrin-yoku</h2>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
While we’re on the subject of forests, here’s a tangible reason to get lost in the woods this weekend. Translated as “forest bathing,” shinrin-yoku is a growing trend and research-backed medical practice in Japan. The Japanese government has even partnered with the medical community to offer free check-ups in park areas and to designate official “forest therapy” sites.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Research on the effects of shinrin-yoku has <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/forest-bathing/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">demonstrated the power of a 3-day trip</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[6]</sup> to the forest to decrease blood pressure, pulse rate, and cortisol levels. But the real kicker is the impact on the body’s NK (natural killer) cells, lymphocytes that fight off infection and cancer growth as well as anti-cancer protein expression. The benefits, studies show, can last up to a month!</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
As the Primal logic suggests, activities that mirror the <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/what-would-grok-do/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">best of our evolutionary upbringing</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[7]</sup> will prompt the best hormonal and cellular responses, which then support the best mental and physical outcomes. When you have the chance to <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/sheltered-missing-the-primal-power-of-nature/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">get to the wilderness</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[8]</sup>, for the love of <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/about-2/who-is-grok/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Grok</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[9]</sup> go! If you don’t have the chance, create the opportunity for yourself as soon as you can.</div>
<h2 style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Friluftsliv</h2>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Try saying that five times as fast as you can…. Translated literally as “free air life,” it encompasses the emotional and <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/spiritual-encounters-in-nature/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">spiritual well-being</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[10]</sup> to be had by being/living outside. However we choose to spend our time outside (e.g nature photography, hiking, <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/20-ways-to-cultivate-intermittent-euphoria-in-your-life/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">trail running</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[11]</sup>, Tai Chi in the park, picnicking, bike riding, Ultimate Frisbee or even napping), there’s something to the outdoor experience that’s unique and works on our mental mood.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
As I’ve mentioned here before, <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/16-ways-green-space-improves-your-life/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">time outdoors</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[12]</sup> works on our emotional, hormonal and overall physiological responses as well. Exercising outdoors, for one, has been shown to offer better stress relief than working out indoors.</div>
<h2 style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Koyaanisqatsi</h2>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
A Native American term from the Hopi culture, koyaanisqatsi means “crazy life” or even life out of balance. The larger sense behind the word suggests a way of life that is falling apart, a state of affairs that calls for another way of being.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
We might be tempted to see the concept in our personal lives, and I can certainly see the applicability there. When we find ourselves overrun with insane commutes and overwhelming commitments, we eventually hit a point of critical mass. When we live in tune with our physical bodies, we realize we’re being called to find a new way of life, <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/what-does-it-mean-to-have-balance-in-your-life/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">a better life balance</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[13]</sup>.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Truer to the original intent, koyaanisqatsi refers to larger cultural conditions that can make life unsustainable – at both a sociological and ecological level. It’s not hard to see the applicability of this term to much of modern times. For all the benefits, much of modern life <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/how-noise-impacts-your-health/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">confounds our primal psychologies</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[14]</sup>, not to mention the natural order of ecological balance. I think Primal can have something to do with that <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-pleasures-of-slow-living/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">new way of living</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[15]</sup> in response….</div>
<h2 style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Uitwaaien</h2>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
After getting into the <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/walking-the-human-condition/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">walking series</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[16]</sup> a couple of months ago, I was taken in by this Dutch term, which means to take a break to walk outside and <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/just-walk-it-off-how-walking-can-improve-your-emotional-well-being/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">clear one’s head</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[17]</sup>.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Clearly, this concept hits on the need for outdoor time, but it also suggests something essential to the primal picture. Modern life drains us with such emphasis on directed attention. The result? We get emotionally irritable and mentally fatigued. The opposite of this is involuntary attention, the kind of unfocused but <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/what-difference-can-being-present-make/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">attentive presence</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[18]</sup> that would characterize Grok’s scanning of the horizon. Yet, this kind of attention plays such a small role in our day. We, being creatures of free will, have a choice.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
Instead of hopping online at night or doing a crossword, we can give ourselves time to not think (an earth-shattering concept, no?). How about watching the dog play like a fool in the yard or going for a walk where we don’t have to watch for traffic? <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-power-of-daydreaming/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Daydreaming</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[19]</sup>, anyone? Even mindless chores or creative hobbies that get us into a flow can offer enough cognitive variety to ease our weary modern brains.</div>
<h2 style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">
Arbejdsglæde</h2>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
This Danish word translates as “work happiness” or the satisfaction we feel with <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/would-grok-work-overtime/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">fulfilling work</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[20]</sup>. How many of us have felt this? When was the last time we did? Although we may situate our vocational vision outside of the work that pays the bills, do we experience <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/from-primal-passion-to-primal-business-turning-what-you-love-into-what-you-do-2/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">this kind of joy</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[21]</sup> in our professional, volunteer or hobby endeavors?</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
In a culture that can <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/reframing-your-definition-of-affluence/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">perseverate on money, prestige</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[22]</sup>, and comparison, Arbejdsglæde is one more reminder that vocational fulfillment is a means of genuine happiness – and inclusive well-being.</div>

<span style="line-height: 1.5; list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Maybe it was running across the word Kummerspeck (literally translated from German as “grief bacon,” meaning weight put on through emotional eating). A strange term if there ever was one… The fact is, I’ve always been fascinated by how languages can reflect particular feelings or phenomena most of us would never think to put a word to. When it comes to the <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/the-power-of-words-how-we-talk-about-food/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">language of health</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[1]</sup> and well-being, I think certain terms have the unique power to literally shift our perception. They make us think differently about the <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/action-item-3-make-the-healthiest-choices-across-the-spectrum/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">choices in front of us</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[2]</sup> and the ways we interact with the the world. What health concepts can we learn from other cultures? How might they change our understanding of the choices we make every day – or how we view our options for living in general? Perhaps you have your own foreign terms that come to mind. I think these six concepts offer some intriguing food for thought.</span></div>

Waldeinsamkeit</h2>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">
This German word (a mouthful, right?) means woodland solitude. As a combination of Wald (forest) and Einsamkeit (solitude or loneliness), the term evokes the <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/solitude-health/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">quiet and seclusion</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[3]</sup> we can feel in the wilderness. With so many of us living in <a href="http://www.marksdailyapple.com/city-living-is-it-a-brain-drain/" rel="external" style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">crowded cities</a> <sup style="list-style-type: none; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">[4]</sup> or suburbs these days, the feeling of Waldeinsamkeit can almost be a nostalgic experience.</div>
<div style="list-style-type: none; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; word-wrap: break-word;">

Every spring Mother Nature tickles our tongue with wild bitter greens and colorful, fibrous berries. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She uses her intelligence to align all life in a dance of cleansing and renewal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Naturally, our bodies and bellies churn the stored toxins in our organs, insinuating that it's time to lighten up, as if to say, "I can't take anything heavy, starchy, sugary or rich anymore - </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Give me green, get me clean....I wanna be lean!" </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We can listen within, and throughout, and follow Mother Nature's lead. We can eat lighter, cleaner foods; our plates can become 75% colorful vegetables, from the earth instead of a box. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We can eat more raw, fibrous fruits, nuts, seeds and more sauerkraut, less bread, pastries and dairy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We can drink more water - perhaps even rest and refresh our organs with a week of green juices along with organic bone broth, which helps to clean our palettes and prepare our tissues and organs with the nutrients needed for cell renewal. </div>

<b><i>Some of us will let spring pass, and will ignore her inklings, which is in fact ignoring our own</i></b><i><b> in'nate' natural instincts. </b></i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is what has been making the human population so unGodly unhealthy. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's time to wake up and attune to nature, and it starts within. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I work for Mother Nature, and I'd like to help you listen up & </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
clean up the hOMe of your soul, inside and throughout. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's the 3 part plan: </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. LISTEN UP: begin a 10 to 20 minute <i><b>meditation practice to truly begin to listen</b></i> to your innate intelligence. Sitting in silence - it's free. Set a time, set the alarm and schedule it into your daily routine (I'll support your process with tips and guidance.) <b><i>Be patient and persistent. Practice makes permanent. </i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. CLEAN UP: first by ADDING what supports your body's natural desire to function for you, with efficient cleansing, fueling and repairing of cells. We'll work to support your healthy bacterial populations for immune, blood sugar and adrenal support. Foods that help you think clearly and cleanse daily, not just once or twice a year. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
By adding nourishing new foods into your morning, daytime and evening meals, you will never feel deprived <b><i>while ELIMINATING</i></b> any of the foods and habits that create the sluggish, achey, irritable you. <b><i>We'll find out what foods fuel you best; how your digestion and elimination is and how your energy levels can optimize. </i></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. BECOME SUSTAINABLY HEALTHY every day, in every way, one step at a time... I'll help you make this happen with food lists, healthy habit tips to ward off the mind telling you "it doesn't matter", because it does matter. You matter. Food matters. Movement matters. Your unique passions, purpose and potential matters. From yoga and meditation, or regular movement and time in nature and with community... we'll begin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i><b>Begin where you are. Begin again. Begin Now. </b></i></div>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
5-7 Day <b><i>DeTox hOMe & Body</i></b>: Nutrient Dense </h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">
SpRiNg Cleanse & Wellness Immersion </h2>
<div>
<a href="http://www.vineyardsquarehotel.com/wellness-retreat/">http://www.vineyardsquarehotel.com/wellness-retreat/</a> RETREAT DATES ARE FLEXIBLE as we've opted to make them work within the time frames that best fit your schedule and needs. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
NOTE: Your individually designed cleanse is priced depending on the foods and sessions you choose to include in your immersive experience<br />
5-7 DAY OPTIONS ARE PRIVATE or SMALL GROUP<br />
& INCLUDE:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>1 90-minute Thai massage- wellness session (held in your hOMe or at Sea Spa in Edgartown)</li>

<li>Meal plans with foods that fuel you best, following 1:1 nutrition session we will modify plans to meet your needs and design accordingly. If you are a fast metabolizer and burn through food, then a week of green juices, and raw fruits &vegetables is not for you. No worry! Healthy fats and clean protein to sustain your muscle tissue and energy is a part of every day!</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>IF you have food addictions, from coffee to sugary treats, ice cream, breads or chips... No worry! I've got what-it-takes tips to break the habits and make you happy. </li>
<li>IF you are on prescription meds and under a physician's care I am able to work with you and your practitioner to add what nutrients you may need that the drugs are robbing you of and will help to provide you with the lifestyle support your doctor may be prescribing that can indeed get to the ROOT OF YOUR CONDITIONS and transform you from a life long pattern of chronic illness and chronic prescriptive pill taking. </li>
<li>IF you want to move out of SICK CARE and into HEALTH CARE, then I'll help you listen to the ultimate in life sustenance, your own innate wisdom and your own body, and using Mother Nature's Medicine Chest, I'll support your efforts to use "food and mood" as medicine. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<br />
RECEIVE:<br />
5 DAYS OF FOOD - $150 (9 green juice delivery/pickups) + $150 Super Foods purchased for you (delivered/picked up) includes all super foods on your list, plus Dry brush & coconut oil, unless already have. Extra cost for Bone Broth & Wild Pacific Salmon. Does not include frozen fruit.<br />

<li>I'll teach you how to make fermented vegetables, bone broth and green juices and smoothies, deserts and entrees that leave you feeling delightfully satisfied, nourished and energized. </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Learn about the physiology of the body, and how it absolutely needs daily doses of fibrous, colorful vegetables and healthy fats and oils to function as it is meant to function, to sustain healthy populations of beneficial bacteria on your skin, and throughout your GI tract, and to fuel your brain and every cell. </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Helping your body help itself and learning to and practicing listening within is the KEY to warding off the all to common chronic conditions that people are now accepting as normal. </li>
<li>ADD, dementia, fatigue, headaches and mental and auto-immune syndromes are not normal. Learn how every one of us is different, and how your needs and sensitivities are unique to your own complex and varying life. Learn how to listen and transform your own inner guru to be the Mother Nature in you guiding you to optimal health and wellness</li>

Her family is now living in the Northern California Redwoods "off the grid", and in New England, where her new and old roots tug tightly at her heart strings. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Enchanted by the island of Martha's Vineyard, Rebecca moved here from Rhode Island in 2015, and teaches and coaches natural living at The Sea Spa Salon in historic downtown Edgartown, where she also practices Thai massage and teaches yoga and meditation classes and immersions. Rebecca also offers private instructor and health coaching, and teaches yoga throughout the island; this spring at Yoga Barn up island and at the Sea Spa's yoga studio, nestled in the Vineyard Square Hotel (formerly The Colonial Inn on the corner of Water & Winter St.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Rebecca has a BS in Elementary Education and is a Certified Nutritionist and Thai massage Practitioner and InterdisciplinaryVinyasa Yoga teacher, with over 30 years of living, teaching and researching natural health and food as medicine, as a natural product, holistic health and botanical medicine educator. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A Thai trained massage therapist and yoga instructor since the early 1990s, Rebecca decided to became a Personal Health Coach after recognizing her wealth of personal experience and knowledge and via the guidance and mentorship of an extensive array of Functional Medicine and Functional Nutrition Practitioners. </div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<i>"The time came when I recognized that stubborn New Englanders were finally realizing that industrial processed food and prescriptive meds and allopathic therapies were making them sicker and far from feeling as the Divine intended them to feel... happy, healthy, productive and in tune with nature. West Coasters and educated New Yorkers had it realized long ago, but New Englanders were tough - that's why I stayed on here, to truly do my life's work as a disciple of Nature."</i></blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Courageously overcoming a few medical diagnosis' and psychiatric labels as a symptomatic child and young adult, "the disease conditions" faded away once Rebecca said no to the "sickness care" prescription routine and yes to all natural and organic, whole food and regular daily yoga and meditation practices. All of which she has sustained as the backbone to her lifestyle since 1984, and all of which has kept her fit over fifty, and a devoted advocate, preacher and fighter for living in tune with Nature, getting the processed food and sugar out and no longer allowing men in white coats to attempt to overcome nature through manmade and petroleum based inventions, foods or medicines, but instead patiently adopting the pace of nature, for as Rebecca has experienced, Her secret is Patience and her wisdom is golden. Be silent and listen to what your gut, heart and whole being is telling you. </div>

Being 3,000 miles a part is tough for them both, and sharing quality time getting to know one another isn't easy in a month. Loving one another through thick and thin is vital to any father and son relationship, as is experiencing other parts of the country and world. Shane loves CA and of course time with his dad. </span></h3>

<span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Sustaining a connection with our one mother- nature herself, the Shakti creative lifeforce within and throughout is knowing our soulful life purpose, as well as our gut - brain connection, and respecting the vast world of the micro-biome that makes us thrive or eats away at us, when we put junk in our bodies or live in disharmony with how nature intended and potentiates us to be organically. </span><span style="background-color: #d9ead3; color: #222222; font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">Attuning to nature aligns us with the many virtues of "food as medicine" and "of doing no harm" - harm, as by relying on prescriptive meds solely to seek health, or harm by repeating polluting thoughts, words or actions. </span><br />

Knowing what to do takes a lot of repetition in order to "make common sense, common practice". </span></div>

The body is set to do so in spring. Just as we check the soil, fertilize it with natural minerals and nutrients, we should also check our own gut/soil/micro-biome health. Fresh greens and clearer warmer days move us outside and encourage us too eat better. We can make wiser choices, because we are less isolated, out and about, in gardens and in community. We become more attuned with nature and the body longs to stay (or get) in sync by first trying to balance the bacteria within us, especially ridding the system of systemic yeast overgrowth. Cleansing with a no sugar, no starchy carb or grain diet is key. </div>

There are various ways to detox: a short-term fast, juicing, consuming strictly raw foods or merely focusing on functional foods (healthful, non-inflammatory foods that heal instead of harm whether raw, vegan, vegetarian, or paleo...). Regardless of how we decide to approach a detox, a crucial piece is ensuring our elimination pathways are functioning at an optimal level. How are your liver and kidneys coping, and how is your essential nutrient and cofactor creation, assimilation and utilization which these organs need to help cleanse toxins regularly and more intensely out of the body during a seasonal cleanse.</div>

Ensuring you are having regular bowel movements is a good place to begin. Supporting good bowel health can be achieved by healthy hydration, along with good amounts of whole foods and fiber in your diet. Avoid stimulating laxatives (senna, aloe or bisacodyl), and seek out more bulk-forming laxatives, like agar, psyllium, kelp and plant gum in a more natural, supportive approach. Magnesium in the forms of magnesium citrate, malate or glycinate can also help encourage regularity.</div>

Hydrating an adequate amount throughout the day is crucial in supporting your body in eliminating toxins. The main rule of thumb is consuming at least half your bodyweight in fluid ounces; however, if you are active and sweating, that demand can triple.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Tahoma, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 15px;">

Skin is the body’s largest organ, and along with protecting us from outside pathogens, our skin eliminates toxins through sweat. There are great activities that encourage sweating, such as exercise, steam rooms, saunas and detox baths. Be sure to shower after sweating to prevent reabsorption of toxicants.</div>

We often forget that exhalation is a form of release. We inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide to maintain internal balance. We also use our breath to release emotional, toxic build-up. When our breath becomes choppy and shallow, we hold onto emotional toxins and retain more tension. By creating awareness of our breath and maintaining smooth, deep, rhythmic breaths in and out, we are more capable of letting go.</div>

The detox organ, the liver, must be up to the challenge for a successful detoxification experience. It is here that the vast majority of substances are broken down to then be eliminated by the body. Avoid liver-offending substances, such as alcohol, caffeine, nicotine, sugar and other medications. Supplement your diet with liver-supportive substances and foods, such as milk thistle, artichoke, turmeric, omega-3s, garlic, avocado, lemon, beets and green tea, to name a few.</div>

Your lymphatic system is designed to gather toxic substances from the tissue and return them to circulation to then be eliminated. Exercise is a great way to increase circulation and encourage lymphatic movement. Lymphatic massage is also a passive technique to optimize this elimination pathway. One can also use these DIY home remedies to encourage lymphatic drainage:</div>

A mental, emotional and spiritual detox can also accompany a physical one. Often, the two can have a complimentary effect. Cleaning out your mind translates into a cleaner life and vice versa.<br />

MORE ON CHIA's OMEGA-3 ESSENTIAL FATTY ACID RATIOS VS. OTHER PUFA OILS: </div>
</div>
</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17.9998016357422px;"><b>Several sources of information suggest that human beings evolved on a diet with a ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA) of approximately 1/1 (plant source oils to fish source oils) </b></span></li>
</ul>
<h3>
</h3>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
<abstracttext>Today in Western diets the ratio is 15/1-16.7/1. (Thanks to the addictive flavoring agent put in the recipe of all fast food french fries, and the amazing goodness of fried calamari)</abstracttext></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
<abstracttext>Excessive amounts of omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA's like soy, corn, safflower, canola and peanut oils) and a very high omega-6/omega-3 ratio, promote the pathogenesis of many diseases, including cardiovascular disease, cancer, and inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, whereas increased levels of omega-3 PUFA (chia, flax, hemp, kiwi fruit seeds, wild salmon, sardines) (a low omega-6/omega-3 ratio) exert suppressive effects. </abstracttext></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
<abstracttext>In the secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease, a ratio of 4/1 was associated with a 70% decrease in total mortality. </abstracttext></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
<abstracttext>A ratio of 2.5/1 reduced rectal cell proliferation in patients with colorectal cancer, whereas a ratio of 4/1 with the same amount of omega-3 PUFA had no effect. </abstracttext></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
<abstracttext>The lower omega-6/omega-3 ratio in women with breast cancer was associated with decreased risk. </abstracttext></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
<abstracttext>A ratio of 2-3/1 suppressed inflammation in patients with rheumatoid arthritis</abstracttext></div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
<abstracttext>A ratio of 5/1 had a beneficial effect on patients with asthma, where as a</abstracttext> ratio of 10/1 had adverse consequences. </div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
These studies indicate that the optimal ratio may vary with the disease under consideration. This is consistent with the fact that chronic diseases are multigenic and multifactorial. </div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
Therefore, it is quite possible that the therapeutic dose of omega-3 fatty acids will depend on the degree of severity of disease resulting from the genetic predisposition. </div>
</li>
<li><div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
A lower ratio of omega-6/omega-3 fatty acids is more desirable in reducing the risk of many of the chronic diseases of high prevalence in Western societies, as well as in the developing countries, that are being exported to the rest of the world.</div>

It's spring time and this past Sunday my son and I, along with other middle schoolers, worked as volunteers in his school's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BroadRockMiddleSchoolPTO" target="_blank">PTO Sponsored</a> community garden. We began the garden project early in the year with an organic seed sale, and with money raised we purchased seeds and materials for our two 20' x 17' plots that are positioned on campus within the <a href="http://skgardens.org/" target="_blank">South Kingstown Community Gardens</a>.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1JY_6NfzEIIG_Uq5NyAhrE90TDrzz2H_x70XJKnY6wd0AMhW2saeNtStH1ATtMe3UjtJcmQYKKbKF2y2ufSbXn9WSrC0clZarIwzvqJy3jiK1oK2qq79r4QidmAR-hQ66tO4Kn-AB9ziI/s1600/creating+garden+beds.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1JY_6NfzEIIG_Uq5NyAhrE90TDrzz2H_x70XJKnY6wd0AMhW2saeNtStH1ATtMe3UjtJcmQYKKbKF2y2ufSbXn9WSrC0clZarIwzvqJy3jiK1oK2qq79r4QidmAR-hQ66tO4Kn-AB9ziI/s1600/creating+garden+beds.jpg" height="320" width="240" /></a>We've had great help from local organic growers who contributed to the garden's planning and evaluated our soil test, as well as donated the organic fertilizer to help balance out the soil nutrients. Last week the local BRMS Girl Scout troupe and other middle school volunteers and local farmer Alby Brandon (of <a href="http://www.brandonfamilyfarm.com/description" target="_blank">Brandon Family Farm</a>*) helped spread the mineral salts and food for the soil's beneficial bacteria.<br />
<br />
I think humans should do this every season too; get our nutrient levels measured, and balance out our needs by tending to our soil - our guts and the trillions of microbiota that need our care to stay in healthy proportions. We'd digest our food better, have healthier immunity and think more clearly. Actually, that's what a good spring cleanse does (check out my upcoming Spring Cleanse, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/events/950002591691849/" target="_blank">hOMnaturale's Detox hOMe & Body 7 Day Nutrient Dense Cleanse below</a> or to side).<br />
<br />
It's the little micro biota's job to help digest and retrieve the nutrients from the soil, and in our case the food we put into our gut. It's our job to provide them, like gardeners tending the soil, with the right mineral and enzyme rich fibrous food (compost), to support healthy growth and functioning. This microbiota <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2013/06/20/gut-brain-connection.aspx" target="_blank">communicates to our brains</a>, heart, and lungs through the neurotransmitters they create and transport (via amino acids the bacteria retrieve from our protein rich food, <a href="https://www.neurogistics.com/TheScience/WhatareNeurotransmi09CE.asp" target="_blank">Inhibitory and Excitatory Neurotransmitters</a> are created: GABA, serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and epinephrine) and as our first line of defense our bacteria's working transmitters alert the brain and body when substances enter the gut that are disruptive or downright toxic (using Excitatory Neurotransmitters) or when they are nourished (using Inhibitory Neurotransmitters). In the case of danger (too much sugar, toxic chemicals or artificial food) the excitatory neurotransmitters ignite <a href="http://www.discoverymedicine.com/Amy-D-Proal/2014/05/22/inflammatory-disease-and-the-human-microbiome/" target="_blank">inflammation </a>as the body's warning sign, and in the case of safety and nourishment <a href="http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2012-06/asfm-ibp061312.php" target="_blank">GABA</a>, Serotonin and Dopamine transmit messages of calm and create a stable mood. Too much Excitatory neurotransmitters in action imbalances the Inhibitory neurotransmitters, so you can see how what we put into our body and how our gut bacteria responds to it can make or break our health. "All health begins and ends in the gut." Hippocrates<br />
<br />
<b>The kids really enjoyed creating the garden beds and paths - every one loves to shovel dirt and be of use. Creating something so important and contributing to a community effort is emotionally rewarding and physically rejuvenating, and all the volunteer workers commented on how "fun it was". Plenty of positive neurotransmissions were being released as their hands and knees got dirty. </b><br />

Indeed, Earth Day week opened with a bang - nature's food chains were witnessed first hand in the gaping mouth of a snake, and with the preparing of our garden beds.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
After a couple of hours in the garden it felt great to wind down; fresh air and activity easily lends itself to an evening of relaxation... a cup of turmeric tea and a little<a href="https://instagram.com/rebeccabriggsyoga/" target="_blank"> journaling</a>. Comparing that to a day spent imbalanced behind my computer when I often start working without brushing my teeth, or ignore lunch time or am carried away and late preparing dinner is a real reality check. It is clearly an example of how important it is to attune to the natural world, to get outside in nature, to move and be active and productive and to stay healthfully in sync with how we are meant to operate and participate in this earthly existence. </div>

Here's a graphic on the <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4029760/" target="_blank">circadian rhythms</a>. It is interesting to see when the optimal time to rise is (6:45 AM when our blood pressure and cortisol hormone has sharpest rise) and when it's optimal time to eliminate (8:30 AM) and to be at our peak mentally (10:00 AM) and physically (2:30 -5 PM), and when to calm ourselves and meditate, or sip calming herb tea or red wine while preparing dinner (5 - 7 PM when blood pressure is highest), or to wind down and rest (7 PM when body temperature is highest) and be preparing for bed (when melatonin secretion starts at 9 PM), or in our most restorative deep sleep (2 AM - 4:30 AM). </div>

Circadian rhythms are physical, mental and behavioral changes that follow a roughly 24-hour cycle, responding primarily to light and darkness in an organism's environment. They are found in most living things, including animals, plants and <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4029760/" target="_blank">many tiny microbes</a>. Studies now show how even your all important gut bacteria (micro-biome) gets disrupted when we are thrown off our natural cycles (circadian rhythm or biological clock). Oh yes, mother nature, she sure is wise. <br />

This Earth Day come join us in the garden 2-4 PM at BRMS, or get out in your own soil and nourish yourself with dirt, sun and fun or with a 7 Day Cleanse.

</div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Like many, I've been staying in more than usual this winter; reading a few novels and working on the foundations of my business, h<span style="color: #a64d79;">OM</span>naturale: yoga and natural family health.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">I want a hOMe based business that will take me into my wisdom years with steady income and security, plus an abundance I can pay forward to a society in great need, and towards helping sustain Mother Earth's great wealth for future generations. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #741b47; font-weight: bold;">I don't want to work hard then retire; I'd rather live simply and die of contentment while teaching yoga and wellness </span>far into my 80s</span><span style="background-color: white;"> or 90s. Experiencing the good grace of going hOMe au naturale after a life of healthy practices, like yoga and meditation, eating and growing organic food and being stimulated by a well rounded education and inspirational opportunities, especially the teachings that come from serving others while doing what one loves. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b style="color: #741b47;">I confess I am seriously concerned with getting my '6 biz pillars' right (as my mentor <a href="http://www.mariefoleo.com/">www.MarieFoleo.com</a> tweets).</b></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white;">I know consistency is key, and my sporadic emails seem like whimsy, but I'm gaining confidence in my inner and outer worth. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><b>As Emerson suggests, I will adopt Nature's patient pace and go with the flow of snow, and hang low, dripping a slow steady </b>release, </span>and then ground myself with the thaw and grow with the changing seasons.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #d5a6bd; color: #741b47; font-size: x-large;">
THIS FEBRUARY take the time to contemplate how you nourish your body, mind and spirit. </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">
Perhaps the habitual foods you buy and serve, or the practices you partake in are creating the headaches, brain fog or hormonal imbalances, weight gain or irritable digestion that plagues your health or a family members. </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="background-color: #ead1dc; color: #741b47; font-size: large;">5 TOP FOODS we are MOST SENSITIVE TO </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">(but can be brought back -in healthy versions - after healing and sealing our guts and balancing our organ functions): </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">
1<u>. Grains</u> (not just the gluten in wheat; the US population has been consuming far too much industrially processed grain as in floured bread, pastry, and cereal forms, and our gut is easily inflamed and irritated by the consequences of processing the amylopectin polysaccharides, and gliadin and other protein molecules that are difficult to assimilate, especially because there is so much pesticide used in the mono-crop industrial system of growing grain and the fact that it's presence in processed foods is ubiquitous. Auto-immune conditions from arthritis, hyperthyroidism, colitis to MS are found to stem from an inflamed, "leaky gut" and GERD and other pathogenic bacteria & low enzyme related conditions and mental health imbalances, from ADHD, autism spectrum and Alzheimer's to depression, can be linked to too many toxins breaking through the gut and blood brain barrier and creating disrupted systems of immunity, elimination, nutrient absorption and mitochondria cellular energy production, organ development and whole body functioning and restoration.) </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>
2. Dairy</u> (it's not the raw, clean milk with essential fats in it that was available 3 generations ago) </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">
3. <u>Soy & Corn</u> (within the past ten years, 95% of these crops (and sugar beets) are genetically engineered to sustain a higher saturation of the pesticide glyphosate which disrupts several key functions in the human body) </span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">
4. <u>Eggs and Meats</u> from animals that are not pasteur fed or organically raised.</span></h2>
<h2>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>
5. "Frankenfoods"</u> (processed foods) with trans fats, high amounts of GE beet and corn sugar ingredients, msg, and other laboratory chemicals or processes. There is no healthy version of an artificial food, but if you like micro-wave popcorn (with its chemical laden bag, GE corn, trans-fats and artificial ingredients, I can help you fill this craving with a healthier, better choice of hOMe made popcorn that actually is GOOD for you instead of TOXIC)</span></h2>

Today my son and I went to see SELMA at the movies. I'm so glad this was the film he chose to see amongst so many. Sadly, even being MLK Day, the theater wasn't even half full for the 3:40 PM Mattinee (American Sniper was sold out - another powerful portrayal of a life stricken by violence).<br />

Our intention was to reignite the spirit of Dr. King in our lives, and be inspired by his work towards change by peaceful not forceful means. What was most inspiring was seeing the compassion and empathy grow amongst all of the Americans who became aware of their fellow American's struggle with violence, prejudice and the stubborn lack of action towards resolution.<br />
<br />
I have been a single mother for the entire twelve years of my son's life, and <b>I am grateful for the support and love of our village of family and friends, whose examples guide us and lift us up </b>as individuals and as a family. Together we can create positive examples of moving forward, within and throughout our own lives, to bring peace and less struggle towards a more harmonious, healthy, and happy planetary existence.</div>

Shane and I back in 2009 with Westerly's Wilcox Park in the background. This community park helped us connect with each other and with nature on the weekends I had to bring him to work with me, visiting my SORI magazine accounts in southern RI. Thank you community for creating parks!</div>

All too often women and children do not have this kind of family and village support ... <span style="font-weight: normal;">men too for that matter. The overwhelm of circumstances beyond and even within our sabotage of control, make it hard for us to move forward alone, or to rise above what often brings us down. Be it poverty, emotional pain or whatever problematic relationships we find ourselves in, no matter our circumstances, it is often our own mindsets that create this pattern of struggle, which is so hard to overcome especially when we do not have the encouragement and inspiration of others or of nature to help us move forward. </span></h3>

With a week or so of these choices my palette will be cleared of processed fast foods, and the taste of "frankenfood" products, and I'll WANT TO choose more fresh, close to nature options that I grow myself, or buy locally or in smaller markets (not big industry, big agriculture or big pharma controlled box store groceries). YES!</span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">
I RESOLVE TO CONNECT MORE WITH NATURE, AND BE EMPOWERED TO MAKE BETTER CHOICES! </h3>
<div>
Even if it means going from Worse choice, to Better and then Best choices... closer to nature is where I know humans feel better. I'll know because my body will tell me, by FEELING GOOD!<br />
ORGANIC VEGETABLES - 60%-80% of my MEALS<br />
ORGANIC and LOCAL EGGS, DAIRY or WILD CAUGHT FISH - 40%-20% of a MEAL<br />
PASTURE RAISED, CLEAN FED (no gmo grains!) MEAT- only 30%-20% of a meal (or wild)<br />
ORGANIC ANCIENT GRAINS, SPROUTED or GLUTEN FREE: Quinoa, Buckwheat, Teff, Oats ... 30% of MEALS<br />

IN SPIRADO in spirit<br />
inspired by a conversation between Dr. Wayne Dwyer and Ester Hicks<br />
<br />
"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project,<br />
then all of your thoughts break their bonds;<br />
your mind transcends limitations; your consciousness expands in every direction<br />
and you find yourself in a new and great, wonderful world.<br />
Dormant forces, faculty and talents come alive;<br />
and you discover yourself to be a far greater person than you've ever dreamt to be.<br />
Discovering that You are the Divine, the "God" source energy of life itself."<br />
~Patanjali, Yogic sage<br />
<br />
When you wake in the morning, you are in the greatest potential of your true Divine Self,<br />
undistracted by the busy chatter of the mind's to do lists and regrets.<br />
Stay with it. Stay with the Divine. Acknowledge your consciousness of the supreme silence, the blissful calm, spaciousness of the mind.<br />
Maintain this focus with breath awareness; breathe into being while remaining one with this Divine Source Energy that is itself, Supreme Consciousness.<br />
<br />
Supreme Consciousness has always been aware of whatever you are doing.<br />
Source is always there, but when you know it (when you are not doing what takes you away from knowing this) then it is mastery of focus. Be it in the early morning calm or in the fleeting moments of blissful flow while in your own creativity.<br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-size: large;">"The morning breeze has secrets to tell you. Do not go back to sleep. DO not go back to sleep. Do not go back to sleep." ~ Rumi</span></i><br />
<br />
And when in the midst of night you awaken....<br />
What is it that awakens you?<br />
Divine source. 'This is the time. There is no distraction. Listen.'<br />
<br />
That's the important conversation... to listen. The momentum of your thought has stopped after a long night's sleep, so there is no contradictory force to make you not listen. Conscious awareness of that high frequency vibration of infinite intelligence itself can remain or be revisited with an immediate morning meditation. Set your timer for 20 minutes, no judgement, no distractions. With silence and stillness, with awareness of the grace of the divine bliss in spacious freedom, do not chase or attach yourself to thought.<br />
<br />
When thought arises, let it go into the abyss. <br />
17 seconds after a held thought, the law of attraction brings another thought to you. And 17 seconds after that, another thought comes, and another, and another... every 17 seconds... until at 68 seconds you have lost that supreme consciousness.<br />
<br />
Instead of clear space that is potentially there for you to find. you think instead about your dilemmas,<br />
and within 17 seconds more thoughts will join it. Until 68 second mark. You then have lost your window with alignment with source.<br />
<br />
You can always begin again tomorrow. It's easier in the am. Or find your bliss throughout the day.<br />
<br />
Law of Attraction is the vibrational engine that manages everything. There is momentum in thought.<br />
If you think a thought long enough it becomes a belief. A belief is just a thought you keep thinking.<br />
When you first awaken those beliefs are quiet enough that you can find a fresh one. One that is your true self. So you can tap into the source.<br />
<br />
I'd like to keep you inspired on a regular basis...<br />
with an inspirational quote or affirmation each week SUBSCRIBE HERE to MY BLOG.<br />
ATTEND a YOGA CLASS:<br />
Tue. 6 PM/ Wed. 6 PM/ Fri. 4:30 PM or SUN 9:30 AM<br />

Get inspired. Stay inspired. and take advantage of that spacious silence when in SPIRADO. </div>

<span style="background-color: #990000;"><span style="color: #ea9999;">Fear is a fight with love... it's a mental struggle with joy, pleasure, contentment, productivity, offerings, compassion. and love itself. </span></span></div>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Wake with a smile and consider <span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">three things you appreciate </span>from new beginnings to everything you love and why. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Turn on the tea kettle, squeeze an <span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">organic lemon in warm water </span>and sip some natural sunshine that alkalizes your blood and sets your metabolism for cell rejuvenation. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Wrap a shawl around your shoulders and create a <i><span style="color: #a64d79;">mudra</span></i> with your hands, and repeat a <i><span style="color: #a64d79;">mantra</span></i> with your throat, and <span style="color: #a64d79;">meditate </span>on your h<span style="color: #a64d79;"><i>OM</i></span>e in your heart. Then settle in to the good vibrations led by the pulsing sound of your breath. </span> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Positively make plans for your day with just<span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"> three goals in mind</span>. Go easy on your self and <span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">stay motivated to <span style="color: #741b47;">love</span> and be love</span>. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Take a brisk walk as part of a regular <span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><span style="color: #741b47;"><i>sadhana</i></span> (spiritual) practice, </span><span style="background-color: white;">or create the time in your schedule for </span>yoga, Thai chi or whatever "moves" you and offers time for you to reflect and listen to your intuition, instead of Do. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;"> <span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Dr</span><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">ink 16-24 ounces of purified water or coconut water</span> daily, to help your kidneys and liver cleanse toxins from your body, and replenish cellular fluids. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Nourish your cells daily with a <span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">super-food green smoothie or fresh organic nutrient dense green juice,</span> chewing slowly, letting the life force enzymes swirl. </span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Eliminate </span><i style="font-weight: normal;">your-worse</i><span style="font-weight: normal;"> food choices</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> by planning ahead and c</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">h</span><span style="font-weight: normal;">oosing <i>your "better-best"</i> foods</span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> for daily snacks and meals that meet your physiological needs and level your emotional states. Ground anxiousness with a dark arugula and broccoli micro-green salad topped with avocado and lemon juice, with pumpkin and chia seeds sprinkled on top. Go to a warming, seasonal root-veggie medley from hOMnaturale's SOUPer BROTH BOWLS instead of a gut-wrenching, sugar craving inducer, like cereal and milk (worse choice) or a panini chicken cheese sandwich, with cookies or a pastry (another worse choice with all worse choice white ingredients: sugar, flour and dairy). Go with colorful, real foods. You are what you eat! </span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Watch your self go from </span><span style="color: #741b47;"><i>worse, better, best</i></span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> practices as you make positive choices like meditating or taking a walk when stressed (for 10-20 min) instead of 10-15 minutes of no-intent internet usage (worse choice). </span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">And instead of a worse choice practice of filling your cart with packaged foods from a super chain store with rows upon rows of processed fake food and industrial agriculture crops -primarily food stuff laden with GM sugar, corn, soy and wheat products, harvest food from your own planting, or shop in a small community market to support local economies and sustainable practices, buying REAL food, like locally grown and/or ORGANIC KALE, CAULIFLOWER or STRING BEANS and CARROTS with a tahini butter and miso green dressing and a juicy side of a fermented condiments like hOMe-made sauerkraut or miso soup, and then sit down with family and friends, or by your well deserving self, at a beautiful place setting, and be grateful for the food that nourishes you and the life-force and flavors from the earth that are your God given right. </span> </span><span style="font-weight: normal;"> </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Enjoy LOW-GLYCEMIC, SEASONAL FRUIT </span>like autumn's organic raspberries, black grapes, persimmons or pomegranate straight up or with a cultured, organic plain kefir/yogurt or a non-dairy nut milk pudding with coconut meat, cacao, maca or other nourishing whole-super-foods that are anti-inflammatory and blood sugar balancing. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-weight: normal;">Wind down your day sipping a decaf TURMERIC JAMU or Yogi Tea as you DRY BRUSH your body and run a LAVENDER EPSOM SALT BATH; READ and LISTEN to music that soothes. <span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">Enjoy an Email and Internet free last hour before bed;</span> <span style="background-color: #d9ead3;">write in your journal to bring reflection back to the hOMe </span>you've been nourishing in the heart all day, and lights off by ten. MMM Good. </span></li>

--You'll receive your first sampling of green juice and smoothie Super Foods with a Detox Discussion and Demo on Tuesday @ 5 PM, followed by a yoga and meditation class 6:00-7:30 PM. I'll cue you in on how to eat lightly over the first few days and give you a shopping bag of Super Foods and non-dairy protein rich milks (nut & seed milks and butters) to add to your hOMe made smoothies (you need to own a blender). For the first few days you eat as close to an unprocessed, whole, vegan diet as possible, mainly raw foods (salads, snacks and smoothies) with warm teas and veggie broth.<br />
This will help you begin the liquid cleanse on Thursday with 3 nutrient-dense, organic, veggie and low glycemic fruit green-juices (like IVs of everything your cells are begging for).<br />
<br />
JUICES rest your digestion which is key, and they are different (like apples and organges) from SMOOTHIES which are still keeping your GI tract busy. Both are good, and have specific purposes. Smoothies are great meals, containing nutrient dense proteins (like nut butters and spirulina) and good fat sources (like avocado and coconut "meat", flax, chia or hemp seeds). Smoothies contain super fruits like berries, and fruits that are smooth and creamy like bananas, avocados, mangos or peaches (as opposed to juicy citrus). Both green smoothies and green juices contain a blast of abundant vitamins, minerals and phyto-nutrients that your body needs to function efficiently and optimally, but juicing does so without the work of your digestive tract. Juicing allows your body to rest without processing the fiber of smoothies and solid foods, all while it revitalizes every cell and tissue, from the gut to the brain. The last two days of the cleanse eases you into solids again with micro-greens, raw salads, and smoothies, miso soup and other broths and raw, plant based snacks.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy last few days of Leo! The sun moves into Virgo on August 23rd and I'm ready for more of the grounded energy that comes with autumn. It's been a ferocious, firey, transformative July and August for me, and I feel like I haven't gotten off of Durga's lion. Trying to be courageous with as much grace as I can muster, I've been listening to my heart and soul, and to the friends I trust closest to me, and while trying to stay centered and strong in my core, I've been facing many of the deep changes that I've needed to make in my relationships with people, place, money and self. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Actually making the changes necessary for my well being have been a long time coming and are emotionally difficult to make, so like I teach, I'm going step by step, even when I loose my cool due to the heart breaking, frustrating circumstances I've drawn toward me. It's been a summer of revealing to heal and now it's time to release and transform. I can't get off the lion yet, and I'm hoping that the Virgin path which arrives with the sun's movement into Virgo on Saturday, August 23rd, will help to realign me with healthier relationships, structure and environment.</div>

In the mean time, I am diligently working on my soon to launch hOMnaturale website <a href="http://www.homnaturale.com/">www.hOMnaturale.com</a> and Organic Whole Food, Green Juicing and Nutrition and Yoga Wellness Ebooks so please stay tuned. I'll be extending my Ebook and Ecourse offerings ongoing, starting in the fall, beginning with my next DETOX hOMe and BODY program, which is an at-hOMe and at The Well, cleanse and yoga and meditation 7 day retreat, September 23-30th. It includes Organic Green Juicing, Yoga, Meditation and Thai Massage sessions. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Also in October, from the 18-27th is another wellness opportunity, The annual OBX (Outer Banks, NC) SRV (Sexy Raw Vegan) Green Juice and Fitness Retreat. <a href="http://www.sexyrawfoodandfitness.com/retreat.">www.sexyrawfoodandfitness.com/retreat.</a> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'll be teaching yoga and meditation there again, and loving the beaches and wild horses while helping others and myself in this amazingly serene environment. </div>

I also want to blog/share about the "Mythic Yoga Flow" series of classes I've been teaching all summer long at The Well in Wakefield. <a href="https://www.blogger.com/">www.facebook.com/wellspring.The Well LLC<span id="goog_900484953"></span></a> (The Well is located near the Alternative Food Cooperative, above Dove n' Distaff, which is across from Kenyon Avenue).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
These original yoga classes start with story and include asana flow and instruction, mantra and meditation. I also teach the "Mythic Yoga Flow" classes at the beautiful outdoor classroom in Wakefield on the Saugatucket River, called The Sari Sanctuary. Please try to get your bootie out of bed for this beautiful meditative morning class before it gets to chilly. It starts at 7 AM and the sun shines bright as we salute it and rest in svanasana by 8:05. </div>

Inspired by one of my one favorite yoga teachers, the ever bright light herself, Sianna Sherman, I've gathered many of the classic Indian tales and created my own classes to teach the lessons held within. There's stilll two more weeks of summer, and five more "Mythic Yoga Flow" classes you could make: Wednesday, Aug. 20 6-7 PM at The Well, and Tuesday's Sari Sanctuary class at 7 AM and my Tuesday, Aug. 26ths classes at The Well, held at 9:30 AM and 6 PM plus Wednesday Aug. 26th's Well session at 6.</div>

<div face="Georgia, serif" size="3">
The stories I'll share are from the Indian deities, sages and mythic warrior heroes that invoke wisdom and fresh incite into matters of both personal and worldly concern. Yoga stories are equalizers, and remind us how we are all emotional beings on the path of life.<br />
<br />
Yoga lore offers an invitation to go deep inside and through the many characters we can make connections with our own lives and become more aware of the teachings that are often less conspicuous, whether in our livee s or within the building and residing of each pose.<br />
Knowing the stories behind your asana and mantra meditation practice adds purpose to each pose, and helps us align our attitude with the actions and benefits we receive while sitting in these "seats of our soul".<br />
<br />
I'll share the stories of the goddesses <span style="color: #000099; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Parvrti (Shakti), Durga, Sarswati, Kali and Lakshmi, </span>and the gods and sages, <b><i><span style="color: red;">Shiva, Ganesha, Hanuman, Ashtavakra and Matsyendra.</span></i></b> I'll instruct and assist while we practice seated poses like Laksmi's padmasana (lotus pose) and matsyendrasana (lord of the fishes seated twist), standing poses like natarajasana (king dancer) and eka pada hanumanasana (one legged standing splits dedicated to Hanuman, the monkey god) and arm balancing poses like astavakrasana (8 crooked limb pose). Also, related to each story, we'll use <b size="3"><span style="color: #000099; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><i>mudras</i> (hand positions) and chant <i>mantras</i> (mind-tools that are positive repetitions of vibratory sound) while we steady our </span>circuitous<span style="font-size: small;"> ego mind,s and attune our intentions towards actualizing the transformation within the lessons taught through meditation and listening deep within. </span></span></span></b></div>

Don't wait<br />
any longer,<br />
DIVE<br />
Into the ocean<br />
LEAVE<br />
and let the Sea Be You.<br />
~ Rumi.<br />
<br />
There are love stories<br />
And there is obliteration into love,<br />
You are walking the ocean shore<br />
Holding up your robes to keep them dry,<br />
You must dive, naked and under<br />
Under a thousand times deeper.<br />
Loves floats down,<br />
And the earth submits to the sky.<br />
And suffers what comes.<br />
Tell me,<br />
Does it fair any less for giving in like that?<br />
~Rumi<br />

<br />
ON DIVING DEEP, SURRENDERING TO BREAKING SURF,<br />
AND RIDING THE WAVES OF LOVE<br />
Oh to dive deep, and listen... to the weight of heavy emotions, heart ache and pain, sorrow and fight,<br />
Dense darkness in the thick solitude of the ocean bottom.<br />
Oh to let go and trust that all will be okay.<br />
To release into the Sea and let be.<br />
To kick free and rise to the surface sunlight, and rework this pain of plans not furthered, of dreams not fulfilled.<br />
Oh to forgive and release what can not be held any longer<br />
or I'll drown, die alone in darkness.<br />
To reveal and accept - and let go from my feet.<br />
To rise above the surf and wash ashore in a spray of potential.<br />
A remembrance of this exuberant, yet raw, rocky journey,<br />
Seals on my skin as sticky, taut, salt.<br />
<br />
Will we be okay?<br />
Will I paddle back out, and again ride these waves,<br />
Will I feel the spray on my way to my sun baked blanket of security and protection,<br />
Or will I continue to punish and harm myself and others in the tumultuous ocean of all the hard rocky parts of who I am, and of who we are?<br />
Lessons not heeded.<br />
Battered and bruised. Do we continue to suffer what comes?<br />
<br />
What do I have to do, to heed and move forward while being so afraid?<br />
Can I do what I know I need to do, can I surf and survive, say sorry and die?<br />
Listening inside for the response to my screaming prayers?<br />
Answers of open-hearted freedom rise from the dark bottom of this ocean<br />
Releasing from the stiff and cold fears are broken trust, dishonored requests,<br />
Ravished bonds of intimacy and truthfulness.<br />
<br />
Can we DIVE into the ocean, and let the Sea teach us how to just be?<br />
How to accept and sizzle in the foamy wakes of romance,<br />
Love that turns again and again into its frothy, fierce consequences.<br />
Having been lived, shared and expressed isn't love worth it?<br />
I say yes, in spite of it being an endless wave of imperfection,<br />

Hard to ride and hold on to.<br />

Surrender to forgiveness.<br />

<b>REBECCA'S PUBLIC CLASSES are $5-$20</b> Pay what you can, when you can, just come - good things will flow with the movement of <b><i>shri</i></b> (abundance & creative life force energy). My classes all contain story, mantra (repetitive chants) and meditation, as well as flowing and instructional asanas (postures) for all level of student. We have mats if you need one. <br />
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<b>"Mythic Yoga Stories, Asanas, Mantras and Meditations </b></h3>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">For a summer full of inspiration and ignition, learn from the deities of mythic yoga lore. Storytelling helps us connect with all the parts of who we are through all the characters of the story. They are symbolic representations of our experiences and emotions; spanning generations and ethnicity, stories are a fun way to help us connect with ourselves from the inside out. Following the 5-10 minutes of story, we'll move through a flowing asana practice, clearing our bodies and stilling our minds for meditation, as practiced with mudra (hand gestures), mantra (repetitive sound that has good vibrations) and intention. Through this yoga practice, we'll connect with our hearts, and illuminate ourselves from the inside out, with courage and grace.</span></div>

<b> LAKSHMI'S MANTRA</b><br />
<b>The awakening <i>shakti</i> (creative feminine energy of the universe) is symbolized in the </b><br />
<b>Goddess Lakshmi (pronounced LUCK Shmee, or LUCK Shree, not by accident) </b><br />
<b>Lakshmi's energy is that of creating love, abundance and prosperity, within and throughout. </b><br />
Invoking the Goddess Laksmi through story, mantra and meditation, as well as through beautiful asana (postures), brings a wealth of grace, beauty and most importantly gratitude into and from our hearts.<br />
The abundance that we all hold within, no matter what we own, possess or do on the outside, is ultimately what is most important in life. We hold an abundance of inner qualities, thoughts, dreams and desires and all are not bright, some dark and mysterious; Lakshmi reminds us to feel grateful for all the parts of who we are, and to accept, acknowledge and live with gratitude for all that we are. We are abundance itself. We can internally drop the self-improvement efforts, put down whatever heavy load our psyches may be carrying. Each pose that we do is deep enough, each breath we take sustains us enough so that we can do this practice. The amount we devote to it is enough. We are more than enough. This is a practice of self-love.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<b>Repeat Lakshmi's Mantra </b></h3>
You can ask Lakshmi, in your own words, to be present with you during this meditation,<br />
and through this mantra you can invoke her teachings and energy.<br />
Repeating the mantra (mind tool) is bringing positive vibrational energy into your psyche;<br />
it basically translates as:<br />
Om, I invoke the energy of Lakshmi that is contained in the seed mantra of <b><i>Shreem.</i></b><br />
<h3>
<b>Om SHREEM Lakshmi Eh NAmaha</b></h3>
<h3>
<b>Om SHREEM Lakshmi Eh NAmaha</b></h3>
<h3>
<b>Om SHREEM Lakshmi Eh NAmaha</b></h3>
<h3>
<b>Repeat 7x's</b> </h3>

Focusing on your heart as you breath. Listen within, to the vibration of your cells.<br />
Imagine all that is in this world that you Love. EVERYTHING that you love. Feel your chest expand.<br />
Feel the abundant spaciousness and freedom that is within you. In every one of our cells is universal energy toward happiness and bliss, not solid dense mass constricting us, but waves of spacious energy freeing us to move in the direction of loving growth, prosperity and abundance.<br />
<br />
Begin at this moment, with your very next choice, to give your cells the energy, thought, sunlight and love, healthy foods and habits that nurture their wellness and potential.<b> Recognize that all that you wish to be is already within you, and take care to nourish this abundance. And throughout this summer, Shine from the inside out, like Lakshmi rising from the ocean of our hearts on a luminous lotus flower.</b><br />
