Guest guest Posted January 10, 2006 Report Share Posted January 10, 2006 Dear Jagannath, Thanks for waging the good fight on the noble tradition of Ayurveda. Keep it up, and keep us posted. To all on this great list: Let's not give in to fear regarding the powers of the evil "they". Let's just keep making choices that affirm another reality. We are beings of light, living by the grace of the Great Mystery (Name of choice) in a miraculous body that is capable of incredible feats of regeneration as long as we practice some sound basic principles. We are part of an equally miraculous Living Earth, full of healing plants no matter where we are. We are also a feedback loop of body, mind, and spirit/emotions, with healing powers in our mind, heart and hands. But that is another topic. I just want to encourage anyone with a scrap of earth, or even a balcony or sunny windowsill, to grow some Healing Herbs that will thrive in your area, so you won't have to panic if the government tries to ban yet another helpful formula in order to support "Big Pharma". Learn which widely available "weeds" in your region are Healers in humble disguise. When is the last time you stopped to admire the incredible glory of a blossoming Dandelion? Lift a Dandelion seedhead so you can see the sun shine through it. A stunningly beautiful mandala. Dandelion gives us food, medicine and beauty, freely. It is only one among many. Empower yourself. Connect directly to Mother Earth. Teach the children. Show them the connection between Food and Earth. Even some planters on a balcony or a pot in a sunny windowsill can do this. My daughter has a thriving herb and salad garden on the ledge of her East facing balcony in the Vancouver, B.C. area. Her 7-year old son loves picking green onions, parsley or some mesclun mix for a meal, or fresh mint or lemon balm leaves for tea. Anyway, that's my rant for the day, . Time to start working on the Richter's order. It looks like we'll have an early spring.
