Other people’s stuff in your head? Subject matter irrelevant. This is a reminder: it’s not the event, but your reaction to it, that keeps you Pono or in pilikia. Focus on the Pono. Be within your kapu space. Mahalo to your experience, your teacher. Say mahalo pau to old patterns.
For me it’s been a tough year to find time for my allotment but on the other hand I’ve been growing loads of greens and herbs at home. Whether you’re a busy person or short of space, growing edibles in containers is an efficient way to garden. Place your pots on a balcony or the patio outside your kitchen door and you can have a steady and convenient supply of salad leaves throughout the summer and autumn. Bring them into a greenhouse or conservatory and you can continue the harvest throughout the cooler months.
Nutritional genomics or Nutrigenomics is a new science studying the relationship between human genome, nutrition and health
97% of the genes known to be associated with human diseases result in monogenic diseases, i.e. a mutation in one gene is sufficient to cause the disease
Modifying the dietary intake can prevent some monogenic diseases
Can eating broccoli prevent cancer? This could actually benefit carriers of the gene like GSTM1, but not others …
Carries of CYP1A2 gene could be at higher risk of a heart attack if they consume a considerable amount of caffeine
Studies have shown that the NAT2 acetylator genotype had a higher risk of developing colon cancer in people who consumed relatively large quantities of red meat
Consider #Coffee : A number of studies offer evidence that drinking java lowers heart-disease risk, most likely as a result of antioxidants and other beneficial compounds in coffee beans. But a few studies show heavy coffee drinkers having a higher than average risk of heart disease—leaving scientists scratching their heads. Nutrigenomics suggests an explanation. In people with the genetic variant that causes sluggish metabolism of caffeine, the stimulant sticks around in the bloodstream longer than usual, where it may disrupt normal heart rhythms and boost blood pressure, overwhelming any benefit. Quick metabolizers, on the other hand, clear the caffeine fast from their bloodstreams but still enjoy the benefits.
Type 2 #Diabetes offers another example. Several studies suggest eating too much #sugar and refined carbohydrates—foods linked with big jumps in blood sugar—can lead to type 2 diabetes. But when researchers look at large groups of subjects, no clear link emerges. The reason may be that only some people are #genetically sensitive to the effects of these foods on blood sugar.
#Cholesterol : Can nutrigenomics explain why some people’s cholesterol levels respond to a healthy diet and others’ don’t? Here, too, there are plenty of clues. Scientists have detected one gene variation that seems to enhance the health benefits of polyunsaturated fats, for example, giving people who possess it a bigger boost in good cholesterol when they eat a diet rich in plant oils. Another appears to make bad-cholesterol levels more likely to soar when people eat a high-fat diet. “Variants in a gene called APOE, which controls cholesterol metabolism, seem to be especially important,” Ordovas told me. People with one genetic pattern see a big drop in cholesterol levels when they switch to a healthier diet. Those with a slightly different pattern get almost no benefit at all.
A study conducted at Stanford University looked at the long-term effects of #weightloss using a few different diets assigned at random. Results showed that some participants lost weight on one type of #diet such as low-fat, while others did not. The study then tested participants’ #DNA for 3 specific gene variations and found that those using the best diet for their DNA lost as much as 2 1/2 times more weight than those not using their best DNA diet.
“It makes sense because our genes control hormone levels, enzyme levels – all the basic levels of #metabolism . And how we metabolize food determines what happens to the nutrients and calories we take in” – ays David Katz, MD, nutrition expert and founder of the Yale Prevention Center
Many common diseases, such as #obesity #cancer #diabetes and #cardiovascular diseases, are #polygenic diseases, i.e. they arise from the dysfunction in a cascade of genes, and not from a single mutated gene. Dietary intervention to prevent the onset of such diseases is a complex and ambitious goal

What to buy: Since this recipe contains so few ingredients, be sure to use good-quality chocolate. Missouri-based bean-to-bar company Askinosie imports single-origin cacao from Davao in the southern Philippines and produces a 77-percent bittersweet chocolate with earthy and slightly smoky flavors that really shine through in this simple recipe.
Although rice does not contain any gluten, short-grain sweet rice is sometimes labeled as glutinous rice or sticky rice and can be found in the Asian aisle of most grocery stores.
Game plan: The liberal garnish of rich evaporated milk is traditional, but feel free to substitute regular whole milk or half-and-half.

It’s not the situation that causes pilikia; it’s your attitude toward it. You are in Hell Hotel and out of your kapu space. Check out now! Return to Pono, forgive yourself and go back to the hana (the practice, the work). Mahalo e pomaika’i pilikia. Kalana nui au. Accept, thank and bless (ho’oponopono) the pilikia as you cut its energy cord from your aura. This is how you transmute pilikia into Aloha.

Alo-Ha ~ I present to you the “Breath of God”
ha – I Greet You with the Breath of God,
alo – I present my Self to you (similar to Namaste’, but not)
Two inherent truths: We are spirit beings, and, we are here to live the hu- man experience. Lack of self-love offends who and what we really are and blocks our ability to truly love others and receive love from others. Break the cycle!! Live Aloha!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes
Total Time: 50 minutes
Ingredients:
1 (16.5-ounce) boxed spice cake mix
1 (15-ounce) can plain pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
3 eggs
1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
4 tablespoons powdered sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 cups chopped pecans
1/3 cup lightly packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 350° F and lightly spray a 9X13 baking dish (or pan) with nonstick cooking spray.
Combine the cake mix, pumpkin, oil, water, and eggs in a large bowl and mix until well combined, about 2 minutes.
In another bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and lemon juice. Stir until mixed, adding more lemon juice if necessary to get the mixture smooth and just pourable.
Pour half of the cake batter into the baking pan and then drop dollops of the cream cheese mixture on top. Gently spread the cream cheese mixture as much as possible, but don’t stress over getting it perfect. Top with the remaining cake batter and spread evenly.
Mix the chopped pecans, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in another bowl and sprinkle over the top of the batter. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the cake is set. Cool before slicing.
Every so often, we need an angry voice to speak its truth to power and shake us up in the process. Sometimes, we need the dissatisfaction of others to understand what justice actually is. If you feel lost in the mire of helplessness and distraction that defines much of popular culture, watch this video.

Having thus identified self and others,
harm no one nor have them harmed.

Recipe: Samoan Panipopo Coconut Buns
A popular, yet misrepresented, recipe is of panipopo, or coconut buns. There are many recipes on the Internet using ready-made dough, which is not authentic. An authentic recipe can be found by Lei Ne’emia. As with many people who “eyeball” in their cooking, Ms. Ne’emia’s recipe is similarly written. Here is a shortened version that hopefully will give similar results.
Pani Ingredients:
8 c flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c butter, softened
1/4 c sugar (add more or less to preference)
1/4 c dry active yeast
2 c warm water
Pani Preparation:
In a large bowl, rub softened butter into flour and salt. Using of clean hands works best to create the silky, but not greasy, texture that is needed.
Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture. Pour the sugar in the middle.
In a smaller metal or glass bowl, dissolve yeast in really warm water. Avoid using plastic bowls for this recipe. Stir until the yeast is fully dissolved. Add more warm water if necessary. The yeast should be a milky gray color and smell like bread. Pour mixture into the well of sugar.
Using a wooden spoon, fold the ingredients together. Scrape from the sides of the bowl into the middle until everything is combined nicely. If necessary, add more warm water in to make the doughy consistency, but be sure it is really thick and sticky, like pancake batter.
Cover bowl with a damp dish towel and allow it to rise in a warm, dark place for one hour.
Now, the dough should have doubled in size and have holes in it. Spread flour onto a counter top or tabletop, a thick blanket of flour is good. Knead the dough working from the edges inward. Continue kneading flour to the mixture until it can form into a ball. Do not knead too long or the buns will not be fluffy, but dense like bagels.
Cover the dough again and allow to rise another hour.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut the dough into chunks a little larger than a golf ball. Roll each chunk into thick “strings”. Tie each string into a knot. Place about 24 knots in each large cake pan. About two and a half to three pans will be needed.
Popo Ingredients:
2 cans pe’epe’e (canned coconut cream)
1 c flour
water
sugar
Popo Preparation:
Fresh coconut cream is always best, but, when there are no coconut trees or coconut tree climbers to pick and crack open a coconut, it is okay to resort to canned coconut cream. A great coconut cream product is made by Kara.
Pour the coconut cream into a container.
In a small bowl, mix together flour and water to make a runny paste. Pour into container. Top off with more water to be sure there’s enough for all the pans. This mixture should be able to fill all the pans and cover at least half of the height of the buns.
Before pouring the mixture onto the buns, it needs to be sweetened with enough sugar to be a bit sweeter than you think it should be.
Panipopo Preparation:
Pour the cream mixture onto the buns. Place the pans in the oven and bake for 20-30 minutes. Be sure to check the cream to be sure it is not too dry. It has to have a chance to boil and the tops of the buns to golden.
While the buns are cooling, be sure to top it off with sugar water to prevent the buns from getting dry. Cover with foil or a damp cloth should work as well.
Best served warm in a shallow bowl with some extra sauce for dipping. Goes great with a warm drink like koko Samoa.
Please note:
Coconut is a laxative if enough is eaten. Be sure to watch your intake!
Ingredients:
Directions:
Bring water to a boil in a kettle then remove from heat. Add Thai tea leaves and steep for 5 minutes; remove tea leaves. Stir sugar into tea until dissolved. Cool to room temperature. Fill glasses with ice; pour tea into each glass until almost full. Stir in desired evaporated milk into each glass.
Serves 3-4
Serves 6
Ingredients:
• 1 (10 ounce) package frozen sliced fruit of your choice
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 2/3 cup heavy cream
Directions:
Combine the frozen fruit and sugar in a food processor or blender. Blend until the fruit is roughly chopped. With the processor running, slowly pour in the heavy cream until fully incorporated. Serve immediately.
Have your meditations become routine and boring?
Are you wondering where that feeling of bliss and excitement went?
Meditation is the backbone of any spiritual practice, but it often becomes routine.
Here are a few tips to make sure you are getting the most out of your meditations:
When you meditate regularly, you build up your prana and spiritual “strength.”
Think of it like a workout. Your first day at the gym is exciting, you feel good. But then the next day, you are tired and sore. You can stay home and lose your momentum, Or you can get back to the gym for another workout. Which one gets you to your fitness goals?
Meditation works the same way.
Your meditations will not take you far if you are so focused on the discomfort in your body that you cannot focus on prana and non-thought.
Get physical exercise and stretch regularly so that your body is comfortable in your meditation position. Drink plenty of water and avoid caffeine before meditating so that you aren’t jittery. Avoid foods that make you feel sluggish, especially right before meditating.
When your body is happy, you are better able to let it go and move deeper into your meditations!
If you find you are not getting the experiences from your meditations that you used to, it is probably because of your expectations…
Maybe you had a great experience, or you heard about a great experience, and now you are trying to recreate that experience for yourself.
You cannot force the experience. By holding this expectation, you are not only blocking the experience you are reaching for, you are also blocking new, and possible more profound, experiences.
Tip #4 View Meditation as an Exploration, Not a Task
Once you set up a regular meditation practice, it is easy to lose your excitement about meditation and all that it has to offer.
Meditation becomes a task…
Something to check off of your to-do list…
While a regular meditation schedule is important in developing a meditation habit, try to change the way you look at your meditation…
When you sit down to meditate, allow yourself to get excited about the new experience you will have today.
When we get into a regular meditation practice, it is easy to forget to prepare yourself for your meditation…
You just plop down, start the music, and go…
But by taking just a couple extra minutes to prepare your body and mind for the meditation, you will get much more out of the practice.
Start by stretching and settling into your meditation position on the floor or in a chair… Take a few deep breaths, breathing in prana, breathing out all of the problems on your mind… Become aware of your body…
See how quiet your mind is, just by taking a little extra time?
I hope these tips help you to maintain and improve your meditations.
In fact, these tips can be applied to any psychic or spiritual skill that has become routine or isn’t progressing as quickly as you would like.
Pono is found only in this moment. I keia manawa ‘uhane nui au. In this moment, I’m Spirit Greatness. This brings you into your kapu space, reinforces the value system of Pono and makes the belief in your Spirit Greatness real I keia manawa.
For most people, when you say that suffering is Grace it seems off the wall to them. And we’ve got to deal now with our own suffering and other people’s suffering. That is a distinction that is very real, because we may see our suffering as Grace but it’s quite a different thing to look at somebody else’s suffering and say it’s Grace.
Grace is something that an individual can see about their own suffering and then use it to their advantage. It is not something that can be a rationalization for allowing another human being to suffer. You have to listen to the level at which another person is suffering. When somebody is hungry, you give them food. As my guru used to say, God comes to the hungry person in the form of food. You give them food and then when they’ve had their belly filled then they may be interested in questions about God. To give somebody a dharma lecture when they are hungry is just inappropriate methodology in terms of ending suffering.
So, the hard answer for seeing suffering as Grace, and this is a stinker really, is that you have to have consumed suffering into yourself. There is a tendency in us to find suffering aversive, and so we want to distance ourselves from it. Like if you have a toothache, it becomes that toothache. It’s not us any more. It’s that tooth. And so if there are suffering people, you want to look at them on television or meet them but then keep a distance from them. Because you are afraid you will drown in it. You are afraid you will drown in a pain that will be unbearable. And the fact of the matter is you have to. You finally have to. Because if you close your heart down to anything in the universe, it’s got you. You are then at the mercy of suffering.
To have finally dealt with suffering is to consume it into yourself. Which means you have to, with eyes open, be able to keep your heart open in hell. You have to look at what is, and say Yea, Right. And what it involves is bearing the unbearable. And in a way, who you *think* you are can’t do it. Who you *really* are, can do it. So that who you think you are has to die in the process.
Like, right now, I am counseling a couple who went to a movie and when they came home their house had burned down and their three children had burned to death. Three, five and seven. And she is Mexican Catholic and he is a Caucasian Protestant. And they are responding entirely different to it. She is going in to deep spiritual experiences and talking with the children and he is full of denial and anger and feelings of inadequacy. In a way, that situation is so unbearable and you wouldn’t ever lay that on another human being but there it is. What may happen is she may come out of this a much deeper, spiritual and a more profound, more evolved person. And he, because the way he dealt with it was through denial, may end up contracted and tight because he couldn’t embrace the suffering. He couldn’t go towards it. He pushed it away in order to preserve his sanity.
There is a process of suffering that requires you to die into it or to give up your image of yourself. When you say, “I can’t bear it”, who is that? In India, they talk about their saints as being the living dead, because they have died to who they thought they were. And they talk about the saints for whom all people are their children, so that everybody that is dying is their child dying. In that way, suffering leads to Grace.

Ram Dass first went to India in 1967. He was still Dr. Richard Alpert, a prominent Harvard psychologist and psychedelic pioneer with Dr. Timothy Leary. He continued his psychedelic research until that fateful Eastern trip in 1967, when he traveled to India. In India, he met his guru, Neem Karoli Baba, affectionately known as Maharajji, who gave Ram Dass his name, which means “servant of God.”
Everything changed then – his intense dharmic life started, and he became a pivotal influence on a culture that has reverberated with the words “Be Here Now” ever since. Ram Dass’ spirit has been a guiding light for three generations, carrying along millions on the journey, helping to free them from their bonds as he works through his own.
Nutella is so yummy and addictive, but have you ever looked at the list of ingredients on the jar?
Sugar, vegetable oil, hazelnuts (13%), skim milk powder, reduced fat cocoa powder, emulsifier and flavoring.
Not exactly the healthiest, however you can easily make your own using just a few wholesome ingredients!
The secret to making any nut butter is to keep blending.
Don’t be disheartened if your butter still isn’t smooth within the first few minutes, it can take up to 10 minutes of constant processing before it reaches desired consistency.
Ingredients
2 cups roasted hazelnuts
1/2 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup cashew milk
1/4 cup cacao powder
2 Tbsp. coconut oil
1 tsp. vanilla essence
1/4 tsp. celtic sea salt
Directions
Put the hazelnuts into a food processor or blender and blend on medium speed for a few minutes. You might have to scrape down the sides as you go.
Add all the other ingredients and keep blending with the speed on medium, again scraping down the sides if need be. It should take up to 10 minutes before it turns into a smooth, delicious butter.
People are colours. To me, that is what I see. Not faces, not names. But I know you. I know your colour. You are all colours. All colours in one. Not simply opaqueness, but darkness itself – you are black. Your sublime grace, innate sensuality and eloquent turns of phrase have led me down a path full of colour right into your darkness. A path of hope, of longing, of desire. Your artistry is evident, your kindness obvious as well, and your beauty is beyond tell – but it’s in your darkness where I want to dwell. Come with me on this path of uncertainty, of foreboding, of sin. Share your colour with me. Be you and only you, as I know it’s a place you’ve never been.

The signposts are indeed indicating greater levels of planetary upheaval, potentially causing more pressure upon our sensitive, changing bodies. The more that I talk with other light servers, I am discovering that many of us are with body pains, tiredness and rising conditions of all types and scale.
It is important to remember that our entire cellular structure is changing as new electromagnetic impulses are constantly entering.
As we increase our vibration, we simultaneously detoxify from the old framework, no matter how advanced our conscious understandings are.
This purification deepens as we go and is a natural part of the experience. With this comes periods of fatigue as our body is constantly recalibrating, while making its gradual transition into a more efficient blueprint and upgraded frequency.
There is critical need to give the body our highest priority to bring as much ease as possible to our biological shift. We can greatly assist it along by paying very close attention to its changing requirements.
This includes new choices in food, different supplementation, always more rest, more play and simple beingness, which is a constant doorknocker for me as well.
There are really no hard and fast rules anymore as to what brings increased energy vibration. It’s happening to everyone and now, it’s merely a matter of keeping our physical vehicles healthy enough to keep up. So much depends upon the personal blueprint and our ability to listen to what the body wants.
For example, having been a vegetarian for years, recently my body wants some meat and dairy to supply it with certain amino acids and protein sequences. It’s been super strange for me psychologically, but my body is feeling in much greater vitality.
With a much greater amplitude of energy running through the body, the nervous system and its neurological activity have a tendency to get overloaded as these higher frequencies of light try to incorporate.
If proper integration is not taken to rest the body from the outer “hustle bustle”, neural circuitry can get majorly stressed and potentially fracture causing a cascade of internal challenges.
Just like a car, any weakening in the engine starts really subtle. The messages, however, are always there and it takes a constantly “tuning in” to our body partner.
Don’t forget too, the ego mind complex is disintegrating and our thoughts are adjusting to brand new perceptions of thinking. This can also cause subtle imbalances affecting the brain waves. It is important to keep ourselves in check, monitoring and adjusting as we go, so that the mind does not get stuck in looping feedback.
The endocrine system, which regulates our physiological functioning through hormones, is currently undergoing a huge upgrade as well. It may experience tremendous energy overloads as it constantly attempts to maintain a state of homeostasis in the body’s metamorphic processes.
Glandular activity can be erratic, causing various effects in body chemicals and triggering internal agitation. If we are not fully grounded in our body, this can result in adrenal and mental burn out, frazzled energy, mind confusion and a long list of reactive emotional states. (More belly laughing is a must.)
Un-integrated energy overload weakens the body’s entire system of immunity, which sets up an environment for increased infection and invading germs. This causes unneeded adversity such as more colds, feeling run down, viral conditions and inflammatory responses, to name just a few.
Consider that the stem cells that form our blood are born and reach maturity in the bone marrow. Once these cells are mature, they are released into the blood stream where they travel throughout the body preventing infection and supplying needed oxygen and life force energy.
We house a lot of new DNA encodement inside these cells deep in the marrow. If we have healthy immune systems, we have healthy bone marrow and our blood is fortified with more light expanding programs to positively affect all other systems.
This is why it is absolutely crucial that we spend more time building and amplifying our entire system of immunity and to keep it invincibly strong.
Create, protect and nurture around yourself a sacred space, a place where only you tread. When life seems hard, when your energy fades, when you feel disconnected from your greatness, realize that you violated your Kapu.
(makes at least 20 servings, depending on how much crumble you want in your ice cream)
(This is for one serving of ice cream)
Directions: To make your crumble, place your oat groats, coconut sugar, chopped pitted dates, cinnamon powder, vanilla and salt in a blender or food processor and pulse until a sticky cookie dough like consistency is reached. Remove from your blender or food processor and stir coconut flakes and chopped almonds in by hand to maintain their shape and crunch. Form into 1/4 inch balls and place in the freezer. When you are ready to make your ice cream, place your frozen bananas, vanilla and coconut or almond milk in a high speed blender or food processor and process until smooth. Remove from your machine and stir in your crumble mixture. Enjoy!
