Pāli Word a Day for July 25, 2018 — ujjalati — to blaze up, shine forth

Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā;
manoseṭṭhā manomayā.
Manasā ce pasannena
bhāsati vā karoti vā,
tato naṃ sukhamanveti
chāyāva anapāyinī.

Mind precedes all things;
mind is their chief, mind is their maker.
If one speaks or does a deed
with a mind that is pure within,
happiness then follows along
like a never departing shadow.

Dhammapada 1.2
Gemstones of the Good Dhamma, compiled and translated by Ven. S. Dhammika

THE GAME OF PERCEPTIONS

Camelia Elias's avatarTAROFLEXIONS

I have a weakness for the Japanese because I find that they are crazier than myself. That is, I would say that and think that, if I played any identity games – which I don’t. But others think I do – which is amusing.

Let’s see a couple of examples:

As it happens, while I sit on top of a mountain in Norway, a whole shipload of Japanese stuff is being prepared for me, so I can get it by the time I’m back in Denmark in September.

A friend in Kyoto who has an eye on all things tarot, art, kimonos, iron pots, and other peculiar antiquities, is sending me gifts and other things I ordered myself as part of a collector’s sale.

In the process, Japanese paper gets thrown in, along with the request that I provide my measurements. My work is popular in Japan, I’m told, and…

Vegan Foodstyles  |  This GF, Vegan Zucchini Bread With Chocolate Sweet Potato Frosting Is Healthy Enough To Eat For Breakfast

BRB, wiping the drool away.

Is there anyone on the planet who wouldn’t eat chocolate for breakfast if it was actually considered “healthy”? This Zucchini Bread With Chocolate Sweet Potato Frosting, from the decadently nourishing Chocolate Every Day: 85+ Plant-Based Recipes for Cacao Treats That Support Your Health and Well-Being, seems too good to be true, but it ticks all the boxes: gluten-free, refined-sugar-free, vegan, and packed with hidden vegetables.  […]

La’au Lapa’au | Native American Herbs of the Northeast

A look to the past reveals some of the most important plants used by Eastern woodland tribes – and an inestimable connection to nature.

My adventure into the historical uses of many Native American plants began when Maine native Kerry Hardy, author of Notes on a Lost Flute: A Field Guide to the Wabanaki, presented a program for Western Maine’s Greater Lovell Land Trust, billed as “Native American Plant Medicine” last summer. So many plants and so many uses! I was intrigued to find out more about these plants and explore the wealth of medicinal knowledge from Eastern Woodlands tribes like the Mohawk, Wyandot {Huron}, and Iroquois. From Hardy’s work, as well as from the research of author Charlotte Erichsen-Brown, I enjoyed a glimpse into how these tribes looked to nature for healing – and how early pioneers benefited from their knowledge.

Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – 10 of Wands – Tuesday, July 24, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Are you feeling bogged down with too much responsibility? Too much to do? Today’s 10 of Wands is basically here to serve as a final warning of the impending Mercury retrograde which will begin in two short days. Mercury is slowing down now, and Mars is already retrograde, so the chances of you feeling overwhelmed in some area of life are pretty good to say the least.

You always here me say to lighten the load once Mercury enters shadow as it prepares to retrograde. Taking on too much can only create problems in the long run. Maintaining a lighter schedule to allow for Mercury’s shenanigans gives you more opportunity to focus on all of the re- re- re-‘s coming your way. Remember, this is not a time for new ventures. Mercury will resume direct motion on August 19, followed by Mars returning to direct motion in its exalted sign…

Pāli Word a Day for July 24, 2018 — mahāsantuṭṭha— the greatly contented one

Sududdasaṃ sunipuṇaṃ,
yatthakāmanipātinaṃ;
cittaṃ rakkhetha medhāvī,
cittaṃ guttaṃ sukhāvahaṃ.

Difficult to detect and very subtle,
the mind seizes whatever it wants;
so let a wise one guard one’s mind,
for a guarded mind brings happiness.

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

Juicing is the best way to get the most nutrients from vegetables and fruits, as it will help you get up to 99% of their plant chemicals, minerals, and vitamins. Some researchers even claim that it is much better than eating these foods raw, as the high fiber levels will help digestion and support the […]

Daily Tarot | Card of the Day – Page of Wands – Monday, July 23, 2018

The Page of Wands has become one of my favorite cards over the past year or so. The Pages are the Messengers of the Tarot, bringing news and the promise of new beginnings. This Page is extremely creative, inspired, and indicative of change; the news which can come at this time can be exciting to say the least, the type of news that makes you kick up your heels and dance.

There is a new path available to you, the question at the moment may be whether or not you wish to take it. This is the most passionate and energetic of the Pages, and may have you looking over whatever comes your way now and how it can play out for you.  The scent of change is in the air, and it is up to you to pay attention and follow through on the message received.

See you here…

Pāli Word a Day for July 23, 2018 — pabhā — light, radiance, shine

Yassa nittiṇṇo paṅko,
maddito kāmakaṇṭako,
mohakkhayaṃ anuppatto,
sukhadukkhesu na vedhatī sa bhikkhū.

One who has crossed over the mire,
crushed the thorn of sensuality,
reached the ending of delusion,
is a monk undisturbed by bliss & pain.

DAILY TAROT | Through the Eyes of Tarot – Sun in Leo – July 22 through August 23, 2018

Hālau ʻĀha Hūi LanakilaLeave a comment

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Turn on your heartlight and let the healing begin. There is a sense of betrayal around your wishes, hopes, and dreams, but that is only for the moment. It is possible that you are feeling as though the Universe is not allowing you to achieve your true identity, but this is only how you feel. You do have everthing you need to create the life that you wish. Remember, that during this time, while the Sun is in Leo, Mercury and Mars are both retrograde, and we will have seven retrogrades taking place at once, for a short while. Do your best not to let your focus to be toward things which did not turn out in your favor, rather turn your attention to all of the possibilities which exist before you with that which remains.

Along your way, there will be surprise events, and revelations as well. You may…

any other kin can do
greater good for oneself

Card of the Day – 3 of Wands – Saturday, July 21, 2018

tarotbycecelia's avatarTarot by Cecelia

Are you ready for your future? Ready, or not, it is on its way! You can not make it arrive any quicker, but you can prepare for the parts of which you are aware. This is somewhat of a common-sense card at times. Compare it to knowing you are taking a vacation three months from now. Will you wait three months, and then just shove a bunch of clothes in a suitcase? Or will you take the time to research your destination, so as to get the most from the time spent there. Having knowledge of the culture, the climate, special events, and anything else which may pique your interest, is all part of being prepared so as to have the best possible vacation.

Perhaps your future holds more serious endeavors, and a vacation is not part of the equation, there is progress here to be made on your behalf…

Anabhijjhālu vihareyya,

Live without covetous greed,

inwardly stable and concentrated.
