No other way to put it, I just love herbs! If you ask my friends and neighbors, they can assure you this is true. Pretty sure last summer, at the peak of the season, you could small my herb garden at least 3 blocks away. What a harvest we had, and all those recipes with fresh herbs, m-m-m-m. I made […]

“The sun shines not on us, but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us. Thrilling, tingling, vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing. The trees wave and the flowers bloom in our bodies as well as our souls, and every bird song, wind song, and tremendous storm song of the rocks in the heart of the mountains is our song, our very own, and sings our love.”
— John Muir
Compassion is a verb.
— Thich Nhat Hanh
With our thoughts,
We make the world.

This is the secret to gaining wisdom and reaching Gnosis. I talk about all the time.
“The heart and mind must be brought into perfect equilibrium before true thinking or true spirituality can be attained. The highest function of the mind is reason; the highest function of the heart is intuition, a sensing process not necessitating the normal working of the mind.”
— Manly P. Hall
“Melchizedek and the Mystery of Fire”
Sabbo ādīpito loko,
sabbo loko padhūpito;
Sabbo pajjalito loko,
sabbo loko pakampito.
Akampitaṃ apajjalitaṃ,
aputhujjanasevitaṃ,
agati yattha mārassa —
tattha me nirato mano.
The entire world is in flames,
the entire world is going up in smoke;
the entire world is burning,
the entire world is vibrating.
But that which does not vibrate or burn,
which is experienced by the noble ones,
where death has no entry–
in that my mind delights.
Saṃyutta Nikāya 1.168
The Discourse Summaries by S.N. Goenka
We all want to live a long life, but did you know eating these simple foods has been proven scientifically to prevent and in some cases reverse the #1 cause of death in the modern world?
Millions take toxic cholesterol and blood pressure lowering drugs that may do nothing to reduce heart disease specific mortality. What if a simple fruit extract worked better?

Sleep deprivation can be the underlying cause of numerous health issues, including weight gain, heart disease, high blood pressure, and mood swings. The lack of sleep makes us prone to sickness and increases our risk of serious health problems, including premature death. Most people need between 7 or 8 hours of sleep each night, and chronic […]
One of my favorite lifelong spiritual practices is simply a willingness to smile.
A smile is an offering of goodwill as the spark of Divine energy in two people pulls back the curtain of perception to remember the light dwelling in all. A smile is a subconscious ethical agreement, exchanging the ways society interacts with strangers to the openness of engagement, now that eyes have made direct contact. A smile is a celebration of your untainted innocent heart, always ready and willing to burst with joy throughout moments of inspiration, no matter how broken down, beat up, or defeated the past seemed to be.
A smile is a declaration of freedom shining out from your eternally liberated nature, shouting from the roof tops through the cosmic language of silence, “I am here. I matter. I exist for a reason.” A smile is a gift of emotional generosity, like a gift certificate of healing energy, where the receiver can decide where such energy can be best used for the evolution of his/her soul. A smile is a confirmation of alignment with Source and being settled in your highest Truth, only revealing the need for deeper transformations the moment you look away, pull back, and hide.
A smile is a high five exchanged between angels affirming the perfection of their victory no matter how circumstances come to be. A smile is a remembrance of Heaven sent from the purest space within you to awaken the purity of all. A smile is a symbol of awakened heart-centered consciousness affirming all that is whole, right, and perfect about this moment exactly as it is. A smile is a spiritual cease-fire that only brings defeat to the parts and aspects that were never created to go any further. A smile is a moment of profound surrender, no longer needing to hold anything together or manage a journey that is too busy taking care of you to brief you on its plan.
As you take the time to smile more deliberately, openly, and authentically than ever before, may you rejoice in how often you are given opportunities to positively affect the quantum field of reality just by engaging the simplest and sweetest acts of kindness more often. May you come to know the happiness already within you that can be received with greater awareness the more often you open up and dare to shine.
Through the healing energy encoded in these words, I pass along to you the transformative effects of this powerful practice. From my heart to yours, I offer you this smile and invite you to pass it along to all the incredible souls you are meant to meet. May you receive it fully and share it freely for the wellbeing of all.
All For Love,
Matt Kahn
One does not need look very far these days to find a group of protesters, people standing up for their beliefs, and their rights to have those beliefs. Today may not find you going off to hang with a local protest group, but, on a more personal level, seeking out those individuals who believe in you and your cause. It pays to have a few allies, and this is not a time to be wasting your energies on anyone who does not have your back.
Typically, I label the 7 of Wands the “I Won’t Back Down” card, a song immortalized by the late Tom Petty. What you want and believe matters, and you have every right to go for it. There will always be naysayers, but today is more about rallying to your side, those who do not rebuke your actions or beliefs.
See you here tomorrow!

The Discourse Summaries by S.N. Goenka
Sace bhāyatha dukkhassa, sace vo dukkhamappiyaṃ,
mākattha pāpakaṃ kammaṃ, āvi vā yadi vā raho.
Sace ca pāpakaṃ kammaṃ, karissatha karotha vā,
Na vo dukkhā pamutyatthi:
upeccapi palāyataṃ.
If you fear pain, if you dislike pain,
don’t do an evil deed in open or secret.
If you’re doing or will do an evil deed,
you won’t escape pain:
it will catch you even as you run away.
Udāna 5.44
Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
April 14, 2010…what was life like then? If only you knew what was to come, for that was the last time you experienced a New Moon in Aries without Uranus, planet of shock and surprise, also being in Aries. Life has been a bit of a rollercoaster since that time. New Moon blessings, my friends! Today is not only the New Moon in Aries, occurring at 15°, it is also the first time in all these years that Uranus has moved on from Aries, not to return for decades. So, what does all of this mean for you? You have come a long way, through life’s fiery changes, stormy trials, and path-altering experiences, and yet, there is still that which hangs over your head, begging to be resolved.
Recovery is one of the words often associated with the 4 of Swords, and most appropriate at this time. If you are…

Gahakāraka, diṭṭhosi!
Puna gehaṃ na kāhasi.

O house-builder, you are seen!
You will not build this house again.
For your rafters are broken and your ridgepole shattered.
My mind has reached the Unconditioned;
I have attained the destruction of craving.
Dhammapada 11.154

Is this the next frontier in consciousness and well-being?
DID YOU KNOW …
Think about it … then do something about it. BE PRESENT and be a part of the change that you seek in the world. Aloha!
It’s April 4th and that’s 4/4. Too many New Agey and spiritual writers are talking about the numerology being a Gateway. I don’t think it’s all that special. The Number 4 in the Tarot symbolizes the Emperor or the King and the sign of Aries and the Moon is in Aries Today, we are in Aries season too.
4’s symbolize the 4 elements, and the 4 directions it is very basic in all indigenous ceremonies to honor these directions. There are 4 Archangels based on the 4 directions. 4’s symbolize stability, power, structure, balance and a foundation.
44 is a Master Number of doubly solid power numbers.
Vesta, Goddess of Focus, dedication and InVESTments entered Aries today. Vesta joins Chiron the Wounded Healer April 8/9th indicating Financial woes. Vesta and Chiron remain within 8 degrees of each other until April 29th, Financial review in order. especially for Virgo.
