Todd,

thanks for making the wind-connection. That's just what it is and I tend to
overlook it. Comes in with Dr. Bhates theory on Liver stuff going on, at least
in my TCM based understanding, so it makes sense to me.

When I eat fruit compotes I usually put a little bit of ghee over it, I do
tend to eat things like that when I feel ungrounded and unsettled and "blown
away", so that makes sense too. Will defenitely try your chocolate substitute
suggestion. Sound.... ehem ..... yummy. :-)
And your other suggestions as well. Thank you for translating my TCM based
terms into ayurvedic terms as this is where I still have problems. For me it's
bridging the gap between TCM and Ayurveda as I study both and would like to be
able to cross reference better, just for my own understanding.

I'm familiar with the pranayama you suggested and will include the ones that
are not already part of my practice.

Self heal herbs are still in Victoria, I'll pay them a visit.

Thanks bunches,
Claudia.
