Sabhaggato vā parisaggato vā
ekassa veko na musā bhaṇeyya.
Na bhāṇaye bhaṇataṃ nānujaññā.
Sabbaṃ abhūtaṃ parivajjayeyya.

Having entered a royal court or a company of people
one should not speak lies.
One should not speak lies (oneself) nor incite others to do so.
One should completely avoid falsehood.

Momma Cuisine  |   I’m not much of a salad-eating gal, but love a hearty and delicious meal that can also be light. So, I created salad recipes that even I would love!

This salad recipe for Ramen Chopped Salad is not your typical Asian-style salad. I took ramen noodles and tossed it with chopped Napa cabbage, dressed in homemade sweet miso vinaigrette, topped with an array of lightly sauteed Asian vegetables and crunchy fried tofu.

I think the best salad recipes have a mixture of salty and sweet flavors with tender and crunchy textures. It makes it fun to eat and delicious to eat.

Once all the ingredients are prepped, drizzle the sweet miso vinaigrette on the ramen and lightly toss. Arrange the vegetables, roasted squash and fried tofu and serve.

Other topping ideas:

  • Chopped seaweed
  • Toasted sesame seeds

Reiki — Proficiency In What You Know

cell-human

One thing that most energyworkers fail to grasp the significance of is the importance of understanding (not just knowing) Human Anatomy and Physiology. Early in our training, our students get a healthy dose of this focus in class because … how do you know how to direct your Mana if you cannot visualize where you’re targeting? This is the key to assisting another to heal: an intimate understanding of what makes the human body tick. The ability to utilize this Understanding is also one of the hallmarks between a fly-by-night practitioner and a true professional Healer.

You see … to be truly competent, you must go beyond herbs, oils and crystals. You must study the body’s systems and DNA and the role of bioenergetics.

Here’s an image of a human cell … knowing how each component within the cell works (its systems) is called cell cytology. This is one to begin a new section of study in your notebooks.

Tarot Contemplation – Seven of Swords

Just when everything seems to be going so well … you are warned to watch your Six.  Recent successes in your life have attracted scrutiny from others.  To avoid indulging the useless exercise of  emoting worry, make sure you are doing things the right way and in a righteous way.  Your work and conduct are being examined closely, so be sure your actions are beyond reproach.  Stay away from office politics.  This is also not a good day for gambling, so forego on that Lotto ticket, too.  If you now feel that your physician’s opinion on health management has limiting options, seeking a second or third opinion today will yield new and perhaps beneficial information.  Your spiritual explorations have brought you to one or two different teachers that are now demanding your financial support.  Be careful with new-found spiritual friends … Hold off on these commitments and sleep on it before plunking down that wad of cash.  Continue exploring your options.
