Pāli Word a Day for February 16, 2020 — upasama — stillness, calm

Uṭṭhahatha! nisīdatha!
Daḷhaṃ sikkhatha santiyā.
Mā vo pamatte viññāya,
maccurājā amohayittha vasānuge.

Rouse yourself! Sit up!
Resolutely train yourself to attain peace.
Do not let the king of death, seeing you are careless,
lead you astray and dominate you.

MERCURY RETROGRADE!

Susan Levitt's avatarSusan Levitt

HERMES

Feb 16 – March 9 Mercury will be retrograde in Water sign Pisces bringing increased sensitivity and highly intuitive feelings. Tune in to your emotions. When Mercury goes direct, you’ll have a new and stronger direction.

Two more Mercury retrogrades in 2020 are also in Water signs:

June 17 – July 12 Mercury retrograde in Cancer is when home and family are most important. Good time to restore or clean your home. Also time to revisit emotional attachments and boundaries in relationships.

Oct 13 – Nov 3 Mercury retrograde in Scorpio is when emotions are strong, with the desire for new intimacy in relationships. Time to dig deep. Investigations bring rewards.

Time to focus on details. Dot i’s, cross t’s. But good to focus on small things in this Rat year when progress is made in small bites.

Pāli Word a Day for February 15, 2020
anārambha — the exertionless

Appampi ce saṃhita bhāsamāno,
dhammassa hoti anudhammacārī,
rāgañca, dosañca, pahāya mohaṃ,
sammappajāno suvimuttacitto,
anupādiyāno idha vā huraṃ vā,
sa bhāgavā sāmaññassa hoti.

Little though one recites the sacred texts,
but puts the Teaching into practice,
forsaking lust, hatred, and delusion,
with true wisdom and emancipated mind,
clinging to nothing of this or any other world —
one indeed partakes of the blessings of a holy life.

Dhammapada 1.20

Shamanic Healing | Sing The Water Song

This song was written by Irene Wawatie Jerome for Grandfather William Commanda’s 2002 Circle of All Nations gathering. It is recorded with permission from the Wawatie and Commanda families and the Circle of All Nations Foundation and the Elders in Canada.

This Algonquin Water Song expresses loving gratitude for the water and raises the consciousness and connection of women with Mother Nature’s greatest gift. The song is easy to learn, and our hope is that millions of women will sing it, raising their own connection and awareness of the water they interact with daily even in the shower or at the sink. Sing it 4 times, facing each of the 4 Directions. We believe this is a powerful step to change, leading to both a spiritual as well as environmental shift on our planet.

Lāʻau Lāpaʻau | Organic Personal Care Market – Seeing Sustainable Growth

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Every industry has had to make process and ingredient changes so that they can be considered as environmentally conscious. The use of chemicals in production is now becoming a strict no-no for many industries, and they have brought out their own range of eco-friendly products. An industry that perhaps has undergone some of the most radical changes in its processes is the personal care segment, with the introduction of organic products.

The current decade, due to end soon, is expected to be remembered for the global attention towards climate change, as well as the introduction of sustainable products in our lives. Every industry has had to make process and ingredient changes so that they

Lāʻau Lāpaʻau | Consumption of Avocados May Reduce Adult Weight Gain but Depend on Initial Body Mass Index

Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs's avatarCrooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs

Avocados (Persea americana, Lauraceae) are nutrient-dense and medium-caloric food. They provide dietary fiber, phytochemicals, mannoheptulose, and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs). In vivo studies indicate an association between lower body weight and avocado consumption. However, according to the authors, very few studies have examined the relationship between avocado intake and adiposity in humans, with inconsistent results. The authors state that no large epidemiological studies have evaluated the longitudinal relationship between avocado intake and changes in weight or obesity risk. Hence, the purpose of this longitudinal registry study was to examine the effect of habitual avocado intake on adult weight gain and changes in body mass index (BMI).

This analysis uses the Adventist Health Study-2 (AHS-2) cohort. The full cohort comprises approximately 96,000 people of which approximately 65% are women and 27% are African American. The participants lived in the United States or Canada at the time of enrollment. The…

Pāli Word a Day for February 14, 2020 — atituṭṭhi — extreme joy

Sukhā virāgatā loke,
Kāmānaṃ samatikkamo;
Asmimānassa yo vinayo —
etaṃ ve paramaṃ sukhaṃ.

Blissful is passionlessness in the world,
The overcoming of sensual desires;
But the abolition of the conceit I am —
That is truly the supreme bliss.

Resonance: Beings of Frequency (FULL DOCUMENTARY)

https://youtu.be/9mK93gHFWXs

The first documentary film to investigate the actual mechanisms by which mobile phone technology can cause cancer. Resonance takes a deeper look at how humanity is reacting to the most profound environmental change the planet has ever seen. Two billion years ago life first appeared on earth, a planet bathed in a natural electromagnetic frequency. As life slowly evolved from simple to complex organisms, it did so surrounded by this frequency, forming a harmonic relationship with it, a relationship that science is just beginning to comprehend. New research is showing that exposure to this frequency is vital to human beings. It controls our mental and physical health, it synchronizes our circadian rhythms, it aids our immune system, and it improves our overall sense of well-being. Not only are we surrounded by natural frequencies, our bodies are suffused with them. Our cells communicate using electromagnetic frequencies. Our brain emits a constant stream of frequencies and our DNA delivers instructions using frequency waves. Without them, we could not exist.

Pāli Word a Day for February 12, 2020
aññātar — one who knows, a knower of dhamma

Idha modati pecca modati;
katapuñño ubhayattha modati.
So modati so pamodati,
disvā kammavisuddhimattano.

The doer of good rejoices here and hereafter;
one rejoices in both the worlds.
One rejoices and exults,
recollecting one’s own pure deeds.

La’au Lapa’au | Chocolate – Food of the Gods

In 1753, it was Carl Linnaeus who gave cacao, the Herb Society of America’s Herb of the Month, its botanical name: Theobroma cacao, from theos meaning god and broma meaning food – food of the gods. The Mayans gave it the name xocoatl, (pronounced sho-KWA-til). According to The True History of Chocolate authors Sophie and Michael Coe, the most likely history of the word “chocolate” is that the Spaniards combined the Maya word chocol, meaning “hot,” and the Aztec atl, meaning “water,” to produce chocolatl.  […]
