Thank you again for your comments and for this wonderful addition to our blog!
Namesta!

Here, here for baby steps, backwards steps and sideways glances, face plants and the like; Sharing an article I don't know the whole story on, but took the below excerpt from the below linked article. Pease OWL

so, Reading further, this is Hindu infulenced. I like what I read, but had to go to bed and shall be very busy for some days and shant be able to get back to it, so,,,,I blogged it like the 1000, or 610 so posts of the same nature just... Waiting for me to get back to them to read up....someday...over the rainbow...I like it under the rainbow myself....Here's the beginner blogger, Michael West's quote, I took from his blog. Link below...AD

A step in the right direction is taken when one recognises that as human beings we are all in the same boat, rowing across the same ocean. The destination we each have in mind is a distant land called Happiness. So the behaviour of person X is determined by what he perceives will deliver him to the Happy Isle. Person Y’s behaviour is similarly governed. The point of difference is a problem of perception alone; the route we each perceive will take us to the Happy state.

I also read somewhere lately in McLaren's book that the emotion of happieness is temporary(not to be confused with the land of happiness state of mind) and that she explains that it helps us with our emotions on a whole and on and so forth. So,,,I'm thinking as I read this, hm~yeah~sounds good. If I knew, I'd give the page #, but now you'll just have to read it for yourself. LofE please


Hugs and such,
Allison

Yoga for the Ears, hm,,,,this one is a research I am doing for ear health. I have noticed that My ears are effected by Yoga.

I taught swimming in my early to mid 20s and have had a little reminder ever since. It was an old pool, I was in and out of it 3 times a day in the deep of winter. I also was born with eczema so the combo has made for an interesting trip. Dairy effects me too, so no moo for mee..hee hee :D

So to keep with the humor one must have in the deep woods on dark and dismal first of June days we jest. Do you believe it's June? If I were an Indian(Native)and I am the latter, I'd  call these pass few years the longest winter, and I'd be looking for a mission with my best tribe hunters and trackers, seers and sages and be figuring this thing out.
With humor in heart, we get two lovies for the price of one. Which one to follow, as Pooh would say when tracking a Heffalump. I say the same with mother nature's grand Divine world of life.
My life in the woods via the web of the internet is interesting as well, but I'll say adieu (sp).
Good day! :D

Cleavers

The People's Home Library, R.C. Barnum, Imperial Publishing Co, Toronto, CA 1915 (p.319)
Actions-Diuretic, Aperient, Antiscorbutic.
Uses-Supperssion of Urine, Kidney Troubles, Gravel, Tumors, Freckles, Erysipelas, Scarlet Fever, Measels.
     This vine-like grass grows in hedges, on low grounds, in meadows and near brooks. It rises from 4 to 6 feet in height, climbing the bushes near it. The leaves are eight in a whorl and the upper side is whitish with sharp prickers. The stem is square, the angles being guarded with sharp prickers which are bent downward. The flowers are small, inconspicious and dividedin 4 segments. These change into a rather large fruit composed of two berries slightly together and covered with hooded pricklers containing two seeds.
     This is one of the most valuable diuretics or kidney remedies that our country produces. It is good and speedy for all suppression of urine and for gravel complaints. The pressed juice mixed with oatmeal tothe constistency of a poultice and applied over and indolent tumor three times a day, keeping the bowles open by castor oil [there are other modern ways as well a.d.{and a warning, as I am remind to use cautions now and again. Caster Oil is NOT recommended; as I also said, there are much better and more modern ways to keep the bowel open, look it up or ask your consultant! I strongely suggest NOT using caster oil!}], and taking a tablespoonful of the juice every morning, will often drive the tumor away in a few days. The tea should be made with cold water. Three or four ounces of the dried herb to a quart of water is sufficient. This should be used every day as a common drink and especially for gravel. it seems to possess a solvent power over the stone or gravel, crumbling it into a sandy substance. It is peculiarly applicable to inflamamation of kidneys and bladder from its crumbling as well as its diuretic quality. You can make a warm tea by using 1 1/2 ounces of the herb to a pint of warm water and steeping for two hours. Take 2 to 4 ounces 3 or 4 days. This may be sweetened with honey or sugar. Take equal parts of cleavers, maiden hair and elder bows and steep in warm water for 2 or 3 hours and when cold drink freely for erysipelas, scarlet fever and measels. The tea made with cold water is good for freckles when applied locally several times a day.

{Disclaimer; there were no disclaimers... back in 1915, but I am only posting this excert for entertainment. Please be consulted before trying any new herb or considering them first} and always remember to smile....tootles.

It may be used safely for a wide range of problems, including swollen glands(lymphadenitis) anywhere in the body. It's especially good for tonsillitis and adenoid trouble. It is helpful in skin conditions, particularly those that are dry (like psoriasis). It is useful in the treatment of cystitis and other urinary conditions accopanied by pain; for this purpose, it may be combined with urinary demulcents. Cleavers has traditionally been used to treat ulcers and tumors, perhaps because of its effects on lymphatic drainage, which helps detoxify tissue. Cleavers also makes an excellent vegetable.

Commom Herb for Natural Health, Juliet de Bairacli Levy, Ash Tree Publishing, New York, 1996 (p.42)
Cleavers, Galium aparine, Rubiaceae
A climbing plant found in hedgerows and fields where there are bushes. Small leaves and tiny, almost colorless flowers which are succeeded by small, prickly, ball-shaped fruits. This 'goose grass' is notable for its hairy stemms, armed with hooked bristles which cling to other vegetation and to passing animals.
    Use, internal: Cleaver is rich in minerals, especially silica, which exerts a powerful influence on hair and teeth. It is refrigerant, laxative, and tonic, and is much used in diseases of the urinary system. It’s refrigerant properties make it excellent for all fevers, including smallpox and typhus. For skin troubles, including dandruff. It is also an effective jaundice remedy. Treatment of bladder and kidney ailments, including stone and gravel, inflammation of kidneys, suppression of urine, scalding urine. Derangement of liver and gallbladder. Rheumatism, arthritis, dropsy. Taken internally, cleavers is also a hair tonic and does much to help check tooth decay. An old-time farm workers’ tonic added to beer.


Use external: Cleavers makes a great poultice to reduce tumors, and is useful for all skin disorders, including skin cancer, abscesses, tumors, cysts. An old remedy for scrofula, although of course the reduction of scrofula sometimes indicating phthisis. As an underarm lotion to neutralize acid perspiration.

Dose: A handful of the fresh herb, pounded small and infused in milk. Take two tablespoons before meals. Or make an infusion by macerating a large handful of the plant in a cup of near-boiling water. Keep the water warm for half an hour, then drink the resulting brew. A small cupful before meals. Or cleavers can be eaten as spinach. Not very palatable, but tolerable.

Book of the Week; The Language of Emotions; What Your Emotions are Telling You by Karla McLaren

So...ARE YOU EMOTIONAL? That is the question? Yup~~~:D

Interestingly Enough; when the psychics are telling me that things are changing, knowing that they (things) always are, I find a book that sets me back and sets me forward and sets me straight and lies me down and then sets me back again. Angst, nope! Quizzical, yes and no.

Fulfilling~fullfeeling.

 I did my usual, read from the page it turns to when I first grab the book to check it out. Bingo, brilliant, but she goes around in a circle that makes me take pause. Do I trust, Of course not. I don't trust, but I love the written word, and what people are choosing to write about and what I am led to and how...

My life has been full to overflowing with coincidences that arc my attention and not only mine, but those of the coinidencidee's.....

Pause, well I think I was anyway...

Lull, hush, lush, awaken, slumber, wake, dull, grey, lighter, gray, bright; just like the weather? Yup. Weird.

So, I'm reading a book on emotion? No figure, just right where I need to be.

Thank you always, for knowing where I am and for always knowing that I am there! That still quiet is still quiet and still quite where I am....

Read it or not? Emotions are there for you, not for your antagonization(I know, it's not a word, it's an Allison word, k?). Learning that there is a way to understand them(your and others' emotions) which is not only, "...be happy, don't worry..."

...that is key to me...

I apologize for not knowing this before now, but we all kind of know when we take 'it' out on someone or spiral through a feeling we don't get a sense of understanding about or sum such. AND not that not worrying and being happy isn't good, it's just not 'ALL' there is. For most of us, we know that there is more understanding somewhere from our intrinsic understanding of just that, no matter what we've learned. That yearning tells us....something.... That something feeling we distract ourselves from, or are too busy to deal with, or too unworthy to look at....THAT SUMTHING.... It's annoying, right? JK

KEEP Yearning!!!! It leads to learning~~~(AN D, you don't have to quote me, it's Karla's brilliance which has helped me be free. TY Karla!)

May they shine on YOU~~~

Big hugs,
Allison
