Health:   Crystal Wash – Clean Laundry, No Detergent

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

I LOVE natural cleaning products. I like to use them as much as possible, because standard products are all chemicals. Over the last year I’ve had a lot of requests from my subscribers and readers to do a review on a natural laundry alternative. Well an interesting coincidence happened recently. I was contacted by a company called Crystal Wash who asked me to review their product. They said they simply wanted an honest review even if I hated their product. I said ‘bring it on!’ and they sent me some. You can also check out this video review if you prefer…

Pāli Word a Day for July 08, 2017 — taranga — a wave

Sukhā virāgatā loke
kāmānaṃ samatikkamo
asmimānassa yo vinayo
etaṃ ve paramaṃ sukhaṃ.

Freedom from lust is happiness in the world,
the going beyond all sensual desires.
But the crushing out of the conceit “I am”–
this is the highest happiness.

We have a very powerful full Moon on July 9, when Sun and Moon face off across the chart with formidable companions. The Sun in Cancer is fast approaching Mars. The Moon in Capricorn is about to contact Pluto.   The energy available from this combination will reverberate in different ways for each of us, but when we know the intensity of the moment in this lunar cycle, we can embrace and apply the power of the drama played out in the sky, reflected here on earth.

Full Moon in Capricorn 2017

The Capricorn Moon’s close connection to Pluto is about the truth which cannot be buried. Pluto is the god of the Underworld. He alone did not dwell on Mt. Olympus. He had his own kingdom, sometimes the home of the Dead, or else the place of dark mysteries. Only those ready to do…

The moon, being the closest astronomical body to Earth, has a profound effect on us. It represents the feminine, emotional, creative and nurturing aspects of our lives.

One complete cycle of the moon takes exactly 28 days to complete, radiating her energy to us in cycles of waxing and waning, bringing in and releasing, ebbing and flowing.

Many cultures and people believe in following the cycles of the moon, working with this wonderful gift of nature, harnessing the different energetic influences at each of the stages.

THE CYCLES OF THE MOON

  • New Moon: A new cycle. An energy of new possibilities. Time to set your intentions for what you want to bring into your life.
  • Waxing Moon: New growth, continued action, results will come about
  • Full Moon: High tide of power, amplifying and creative. It is a time to release that which no longer serves you, what you no longer need in your life or an…

Pāli Word a Day for July 07, 2017 — tappara — quite given to or intent upon, diligent, devoted

Taṃ nadīhi vijānātha:
sobbhesu padaresu ca,
saṇantā yanti kusobbhā,
tuṇhīyanti mahodadhī.

Learn this from the waters:
in mountain clefts and chasms,
loud gush the streamlets,
but great rivers flow silently.

Mercury enters Leo 05/07/2017

Mercury enters Leo.

Cancer Sun forms  trine aspect to  Neptune.

The Moon enters Sagittarius.

The Sun forms a challenging square aspect to idealistic Jupiter.

Today we can anticipate powerful energy shifts as we have a fair bit going on in the sky  today! Optimism and expansion are key words for today.

When you wake up today the Moon would have left the deep emotional space of Scorpio behind to enter adventurous , fun-loving Sagittarius, which is known to be the sign of philosophical expansion and exploration.

Mercury enters playful Leo today where it will transit until the 25th July. The energy will shift from water to fire, yin to a yang inward to outward energy. Our communication and thinking will go from being inwards, reflecting and emotionally heavy to being passionate, expressive and adventurous. This is a  great position for loving to learn, growing, being curious and sharing knowledge with others…

Level up from the pedestrian fish cake, fish finger, or any other fried fish formation with these tilapia-filled croquettes. You’ll combine the flaky fish with a roux of flour and green onions, then cover in panko and fry to perfection. Accompanying the croquettes is a smoky pimentón cream of paprika and sour cream and a sturdy vegetable combo of carrots and potatoes. …

Treat yourself to some elevated comfort with this white lasagna. Our version skips the tomatoes for a creamy layered pasta that spares none of the flavor. Stuffed with meaty cremini mushrooms, fresh spinach, and pesto-infused ricotta, this is just the meal you need to cap off your day.

The MOON has galloped into SAGITTARIUS early this morning to bring high adventures, swashbuckling exploits, and good spirits. 

The energy will be expansive, optimistic and “Summertime and the livin’ iseasy.” like George Gershwin wrote. Ok Not for you folks Down under, sorry. 

Share some laughs, hang with the guys, go hiking, learn something new.

Moon opposes VENUS in GEMINI

Honest to a fault Sagittarius may nail those flirty little two-timing Gemini’s to the wall. A good time to talk politics, although you have to be careful what you say these days. Philosophy, history, mysticism is all Saggy heaven. Opposites attract. 

MERCURY in CANCER TRINES CHIRON in PISCES in the wee hours 

As Mercury is in the last degrees of CANCER the energy is amped up. This energy is all about dealing with family wounds and karmic patterns. This could come up in your dreams so pay attention to what you…
