Lifestyle:
#MeTOO

The last time the jump in consciousness happened to humanity— was—well, never. We are in changing times and that includes how we treat, and interact with, each other. Darkness. Low Consciousness. Empowerment. Respect. Evolution. Those are the words of ascension and uncovering the abuses of power that come up for me as more and more is exposed around sexual abuse. The end game is not about sex—it’s about control, exploiting someone in an unfair and selfish way, an excessive narcissism and dominance over another. It has always been there—dating back hundreds of years—even thousands—when one side ravaged another for land ownership, or god’s ownership. It has played itself out in economic manipulation and unfair advantage by way of under-the-table payoffs, blackmail and bribery which have for eons included the innocent—bystanders—and survivors and murders of this carnage. We have all been affected one way or another. The old darkness is hanging on for dear life—their days are numbered, and they know it. Their fear tactics are no longer working the way they once did. Gone are the days of winner takes all and that you are not held accountable for your actions and deeds. The illumination is frightening for those lacking morality or ethics. With the conscious revolution comes great change. This is the paradigm shift we have been waiting for and the # Me TOO movement is the tip of the metaphorical iceberg as other things will be exposed in its wake.

Everything that is secret must come into the light to be healed. Sex has been viewed as wrong (at least in this country—thanks to the Puritans and brought forward by the “good Christians” a belief that sex is bad—taboo and unspeakable.) The unspeakable acts are finally being brought to the light by the very bravest of the brave. Christina Ford opened the Pandora’s box to give others permission to do the same. We thank her and are grateful for her bravery and courage to tell her story to the world. She has given us the permission to do the same. Just like in the case of the unspeakable acts within the Church walls—there is great power in truth. Truth heals. Truth changes the future. In spite of the attacks, the denials, and protests—the illumination is the new power. Both girls and boys—men and women have suffered at the hands of the bullies of the Earth and it’s been despicable. No more—this is the beginning of the end.

We are in the test of energy. The fight of light and dark. This is uncovering the darkness for what they are. More and more is being exposed each day and will continue to be so. Below are five points to help you stand in your power and heal any unspoken secrets in your past.

  1. Speak your Truth - The energy festers and must find the light to be healed.
  2. Be Authentic. Get your story out—and then move forward. Get help to rewrite the hurts of your past if necessary.
  3. Set Boundaries. They are a sign of self-respect.
  4. Stand in the Divine Power carried within YOU. Feel your Magnificence.
  5. Own Your HERO. Nothing is unsolvable. Nothing!

We are being “scrubbed” from the inside out. In order to raise our vibration we must all release that which is old. Let honesty and integrity be our guidance for the future. “The bird of the spirit must free itself from its rational cage.” Now is our time to FLY!

I send prayers, light and loving thoughts to all those who are suffering in their moment of need. You are welcome to join—there is power in many. There is power in Light! There is power in Love. Blessings to ALL and Happy Thanksgiving to those here and around the world proud to be Americans who are willing to help others less fortunate, the way we have always done. May we continue to do so. 🙏🏻 🙏 🙏🏾

 Rising Above
Clarity, Freedom, Solution

The White Dove depicted on this card flies high above the Earth and is able to see things from a higher perspective. She suggests that you do the same. You cannot do this physically, but you can do it mentally by disconnecting emotionally from the present situation. No matter what the situation is, stop thinking about it. You are currently too close to see things clearly. A simple solution exists. This will become clear to you once you let go. Stop focussing on this situation for a while. Bring your awareness within. Close your eyes. Relax. Meditate. Surrender. Let go. Take a walk in the park. Dance. Have fun. Do whatever it takes to detach from things for a while and the solution will become obvious when the time is right.

I surrender this situation to the Universal power of love.
I trust that all is well in my life.
I look at my life from a higher perspective.
I am divinely guided.
All is clear in my life--I am safe.

l CHING: WEI CHI
The I Ching is at least 5000 years old and is one of the oldest books on the planet and one that has never been out of print since it first appeared. I thought it would be fun to draw a card each month and glean its quantum message--and apply it to our individual and personal circumstances.

ABUNDANCE - ta yu (14)
Above-FIRE Below -HEAVEN
Ruling Lines - FIFTH
_____________________________

"For no reason whatsoever you are about to be rewarded with abundance* and great luck. Don't question why, just enjoy. You could try sharing your luck with others and put aside a little for the future . What you have will be increased many times over. What will you choose to have more of? Choose carefully, since you will have plenty of time to regret if you choose unwisely."

(* New definition of abundance is everything we need in the moment. It doesn't necessarily mean $$.)
_______________________________ ______________
SIXTH (TOP) LINE: When you have been rewarded in great abundance it would be churlish not to thank those responsible for your great good fortune.

FIFTH LINE: When you are dispensing wealth to others, keep a proper relationship with them at all times and remain objective.

FOURTH LINE: When you have a lot, don't be envious of those who have even more. You should enjoy what is rightfully yours.
THIRD LINE: Don't Enjoying wealth for your own personal advantage is never as satisfactory as sharing your wealth with others.

SECOND LINE: Put your wealth to work for you now and you might never have to struggle again: squander your wealth at your peril..
FIRST (BOTTOM) LINE: You have been given abundance for a reason. It isn't so much a bonus as a test or trial. How will you rise to meet such a challenge?
Biological Decoding Here Today
Conflicts and trauma are sometimes obvious and sometimes not and make their presence known to us as dis-ease and imbalance in our lives; manifesting in our body.  Weight issues or acne are obvious to most, but what are the traumas, loyalties and imbalances locked away in diabetes, heart disease, cancer, or behind simple allergies and minor illnesses given labels or the diagnosis's we receive at the doctor's office? Do you want healing or just relief? 

The premise is easy. Disease and sicknesses are "nothing more" than emotional conflict(s) or trauma, --lessons to learn (that may be passed down from our ancestors) running in an "invisible" field of energy unknown or unrealized to us until it emerges as our brain's (the ultimate computer) solution for the disturbance deep within our psyche. More simply, the first law of Biological Decoding states: "Every pain or disease originates from a conflict. The conflict is an unexpected, highly acute, and isolating shock that occurs simultaneously in the PSYCHE, the BRAIN, and part of the BODY that corresponds to the type of conflict. Discovering the conflict aids the brain in sending messages to repair the body".

If we are human, we all have unresolved emotional conflicts. Heal them for yourselves--heal them for your kids and break the pattern. Biological Decoding goes hand-in-hand with our allopathic medicine today which addresses the mechanical aspects of our disease.

How can I help you today?

The Biology of Decoding is an amazing tool to assist in the discovery of the root cause of dis-ease.  This discovery and decoding opens the door to healing, deepens spiritual understanding of who we are and releases limiting beliefs and patterns.

"If the mind doth bend, disease can end."

Medicinal Plant: Ashwagandha
For 2018 I thought it would be interesting to highlight a medicinal plant--one that you may or may not know about. The use of plants as medicines predates written human history. Many of the herbs and spices used by humans to season food also yield useful medicinal compounds. The use of herbs and spices in cuisine developed in part as a response to the threat of food-borne pathogens. Awareness always gives us more options. Y ou can then make the decision to explore the qualities further and discover if the nutrition and benefits are right for you!
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a medicinal  herb  that has been used in Ayurvedic, Native American, African and Chinese medicine for thousands of years . It is regarded as one of the great rejuvenative herbs of India.The root of this low-growing shrub is said to be effective for a host of debilitating conditions, including general weakness, impotence, infertility, and others.

Medicinal Benefits - Ashwagandha, known by many, as Indian ginseng, has a wide range of health benefits, which include its ability to fight cancer and diabetes, reduce inflammation, and prevent arthritis, asthma,  hypertension , stress, and rheumatism. Furthermore, it boosts the supply of antioxidants and regulates the immune system. It is an adaptogen, which means that it has the ability to help the body to manage stress.

According to Organic Facts, its use for so many centuries has aroused the curiosity of modern medical science, leading to an interest in investigating the medicinal properties of the plant. Preliminary  studies  indicated the presence of potential therapeutic abilities. It showed no associated toxicity to the chemical constituents of the plant.

A 2011 scientific  report   published in the Journal of Stress Physiology & Biochemistry on the plant indicates that it has anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidizing, anti-stress,  sleep -inducing, and drug withdrawal properties. Many formulations that are made from this herb improve the musculoskeletal problems such as arthritis and rheumatism. It also acts as a tonic that boosts  energy  and improves overall health and longevity.

The root is available in powdered, dried, or fresh root form, depending on your location. 1-2 tsp or 5-6 gram of the powder is recommended when you consume it for general well being. You can also take  Ashwagandha for anxiety relief .

As always, consult a medical professional before taking this or any medication or natural plant. 🌱
 
Everything we put into our body synthesizes into something whether it happens to be thoughts and words, our experiences and lifestyle or our food. 

In the course of our busy lives, few of us ever stop to think (speaking for myself now) ---what does this actually do for my well-being? That is why I continue to focus on one food or ingredient each month. Not to memorize facts, but to bring more awareness to our consciousness about what we choose to eat. It affects us in many ways. 

Recipe of the Month: Old-Fashioned Raisin Pie
I confess--I have spent many years in the kitchen and baked many things--but this summer was the first I had ever heard of a "Raisin Pie." And, then it was twice in one day! I assumed it was a "Canadian thing" from our good neighbors to the north--but I see it is a favorite in the midwest and in Amish country. Everyone seems to have their take. For Thanksgiving--Pumpkin Pie is my favorite but we are living in times of great "shake-up"--so why not pies too? I found that even Martha Stewart has a favorite Raisin Pie. Who knew? This recipe below is quite basic and easy. It would make a nice addition as Thanksgiving dessert or on autumn buffet.

Bon Appetite!


Old-Fashioned Raisin Pie

SERVES 8

A country fair winning recipe from years ago from SunMaid.

(Adaptation by Cathy Silver.)

INGREDIENTS

2 cups Organic raisins
2 cups water
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons Quick Cooking Tapioca 
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
+Zest from 1 fresh lemon
1 tablespoon butter
1 double unbaked pie crust
DIRECTIONS

COMBINE raisins and water and boil for 5 minutes. 

BLEND sugar, tapioca, cinnamon and salt.

ADD to liquidity raisin mixture and cook, stirring until clear.
(another 4-5 minutes)

REMOVE from heat

STIR in, lemon juice, zest and butter Cool slightly.
Turn into pastry- lined pan.

COVER with top pastry

BAKE at 425° F about 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

Makes 1 pie (8 servings). 

If using large glass 9.5” deep pie pan—double the recipe. 
425 º was too hot in my oven. 350º was much better!


Cathy's notes: I enjoyed the pie. It was a nice change--and my dinner guests approved with smiles and clean plates! As mentioned, if you have a huge glass pie pan--double the recipe. I like zest as an ingredient. I think it adds another layer of depth and subtlety of taste. The pie had a nice texture, was both filling and satisfying to the palate. I chose to top it with yummy whip cream. Thanks Chris and Ann for the wonderful new addition to my recipe collection!

That sounds impossible —-even the title makes no sense—the future hasn’t happened yet, right? Maybe we live here with the capacity of many “future potentials” which exist just beyond our conscious awareness? There are many signs and indicators that says this is so. Science just believes what it sees—and then if it proves different—there is disbelief by many, just ask Dr. Bruce Lipton or Alfred Wegener. So, why wait for science to catch up? (Click)
Every Truth passes through three stages before it is accepted.  In the first it is ridiculed, next it is opposed; in the third, it is regarded as self evident.
