Pump YOU UP…Food Medicine

by admin April 24, 2020

I have been sharing this regime with a few adds since the world turned left into house retreat. This has been an opportunity for everyone to learn about the differences between bacterial and viral infections. In addition, learn how to proactively keep you immune system strong. In Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda, the medicine is food and the dance is to keep the entire system in harmony with self and the world around you.

I am excited to see that “HUMan MADE Medicine Industry” is acknowledging the basis of all pharmaceuticals are rooted from botany and earth mineral compounds. In addition, more “western” medical professionals are utilizing food and nutrients in their purest form as an effective way to return balance to the entire human system. It is ironic that most of the “medical” industry has feared acknowledging that proactive steps will lead to sustained well being. Yet, the worlds have been merging. FULL Circle. May the integrative efforts continue to grow between the East and West.

There are many ways you can strengthen your immune system. The following practices will assist you in retaining well being and returning balance to your entire being.

SPRING Remedy for Anger: Patience

“Virus” Psycho-Spiritual Remedies: Practice Patience, Generosity, Kindness& Humility

“Virus” Intelligence Practices:

+Stay Strong, Employ Critical Thinking
+Examine ALL Sides (investigate what you do not believe to be true. This takes courage)
+Investigate through objective research (not SM POSTS and the “NEWS” (both of which are tools to control your mind))
+Take action from Neutrality and Patience

Immune Boost + Retain Well Begin:

+Good Nutrients (eat as much fresh cooked foods. Veggies and Fruits. (Seasonal Organic Green Veggies are especially helpful)
+Vitamin B’s and C’s are proven to reduce the impact of any virus and this one (chewable and sublingual are best and/or in your food).
+Couple that with your daily dose of SUNshine and/or Vitamin D3.
+Selenium Rich Foods (i.e. Brazil Nuts, Salmon, Tuna, Turkey, Cottage cheese, chicken, mushrooms, halibut, eggs, navy beans, sardines, sunflower seeds, grass-fed beef, oats, beef liver) +Drink Plenty of Warm Water with lemon or without (Increase if ear, eyes, throat and/or nose are running).
+ZINC Rich Foods (i.e. 1. Meat. 2. Shellfish. 3. Legumes. 4. Seeds. 5. Nuts. 6. Dairy. 7. Eggs. 8. Whole Grains. 9. Some Vegetables. 10. Dark Chocolate.)

+Chaga Mushrooms (Laird Superfood Performance Mushroom Mix)

+ Chlorella, Blue Green Algae, and/or Wheat Grass
+Living Green Tea
+Meditate Daily (use my guided and sign up for someone one-on-one jedi training, during this crisis higher states of being can be accessed. It takes effort.
+Move that BODY, EXERCISE daily (This HELPS improve your blood oxygen levels and lung function)
+TURN OFF your Internet 5G and less at NIGHT and when you are not USING. +Reduce use of Social Media and in-take of the NEWS. If you want to consume, do it in small doses.
+Time to CREATE. Rather than worry, work on something you always wish you had time for.
+Stay CALM.

(To be noted: Please take the time to research contradicting interactions between all foods, supplements, vitamins, herbs and/or Big Pharma Medication you are taking. All Food is medicine. Similarly, every human will react differently to Food, Supplements, Vitamins, Herbs and Big Pharma Medication.

enlighten me

The trend of yoga, mindfulness, ritual and spiritual mystique that has become commonplace in health, wellness, business, entertainment, athletics and personal lives globally. In fact, it is a multi-billion dollar industry. In addition, there are billions of photos on the World Wide Web documenting and expressing these practices, teachings, selfies, goods and more. All of which probably support and inspire many in one way or another. Yet, are any of these odes truly a sign of one’s level of consciousness or indicator they ARE or Soon TO BE” enlightened?

I would respond, “NO.” In fact, it is quite the opposite. Most of what is portrayed as sacred or wisdom has an essence of grasping underplayed by the beautiful mask that is offered. The mask contains seeds that will eventually awaken in the pretender and in those who sip it up. (Click Here to Read More)

Mind You + Food These beautiful flowers have endu Mind You + Food

These beautiful flowers have endured so many unintended acts of “death,” when in truth, their nature is to remind us of BLISS—the remembrance of LOVE. I hear Alanis Morissette singing in my head… Isn’t it ironic?

And yet, within the irony of our human tendency to grasp—whether for pleasure, escape, or meaning—there’s a collective lesson emerging. One about pain, bypassing, and the constant search for relief. While that’s a deeper conversation for another day, today I want to invite all of us to receive the beauty and emotional support these poppies offer.

Welcome them into your garden, your home, your workplace. Their vibrant colors—red, orange, golden yellow—don’t just brighten a space. When observed in nature, they have been shown to lower cortisol levels and promote relaxation.

Just by gazing at a poppy, your mood may lift. These blooms can help trigger the release of dopamine and serotonin, easing anxiety and symptoms of depression. When we pair this with the gift of presence—pausing in quiet, reflective repose—we enter into a natural state of healing.

As a bonus, standing with them under the sun, you receive a gentle boost of Vitamin D, another loving nudge from Mother Nature to tend to your mental and emotional well-being.

So, as inspired, spend time with the poppies. Let your gaze linger. Let your heart soften. Make peace with what we’ve misunderstood in the past, and offer gratitude for the quiet medicine these flowers continue to bring.

From deep within, two guiding lights pulse at the From deep within, two guiding lights pulse at the center of our being: the rhythmic echo of the heart and the quiet whisper of intuition, often linked to the pineal gland’s “third eye.” When these two centers—heart and intuition—learn to dance together in harmony, we discover a state I call fluid living and knowing: an intuitive ease, a clarity of choice, and an unforced flow in life’s unfolding. What follows is a first pass at weaving the threads of science, spirit, and practice into one tapestry—one that illuminates how our heart and intuition can synchronize to support soul-aligned choices.

The Heart’s Wisdom

Long before the brain can analyze a situation, the heart has already responded. Scientists have discovered that the heart houses its own intricate neural network—tens of thousands of neurons—earning it the name “heart-brain.” In experiments, subtle shifts in heart rate variability (HRV) occur several seconds before a person consciously perceives an emotional stimulus. The heart appears to pick up on energetic information first (we receive transmission from each other near and far), then passes the baton to the cerebral cortex. In practical terms, this is why that sudden “heart feeling” often proves reliable: it is the heart’s early-alert system, tuned to nuance and feeling.

Beyond neural pathways, the heart generates the body’s strongest electromagnetic field. When we practice heart coherence—steady, rhythmic breathing paired with heartfelt emotions like gratitude or compassion—our HRV smooths into a harmonious wave, and the nervous system shifts from stress into a state of openness. In that vibration, we feel more centered, more present, and our decisions begin to flow from alignment rather than anxiety.

Poppy Seed Lemon Loaf (or Muffins) Another way to Poppy Seed Lemon Loaf (or Muffins)

Another way to make an amends with Poppies. One of my favorite combos in the kitchen Lemon and Poppy seeds. 

Yield: 1 loaf (8-10 slices) or 12 muffins Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 50-60 minutes (loaf) or 18-22 minutes (muffins)

Total Time: ~1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients (organic and/or clean when possible)

Dry Ingredients:
1 ¾ cups (220g) all-purpose flour
1 ½ tbsp poppy seeds
1 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp baking soda
¼ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
Zest of 1 large lemon (about 1 tbsp)
½ cup (115g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
2 large eggs, room temperature
⅓ cup (80ml) fresh lemon juice (about 1-2 lemons)
½ cup (120ml) sour cream or full-fat Greek yogurt
1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: For a loaf: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan and line with parchment paper for easy removal. For muffins: Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease.

2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, rub the sugar and lemon zest together with your fingers until fragrant (this releases lemon oils). Whisk in melted butter, eggs, lemon juice, sour cream, and vanilla extract until smooth.

4. Combine Wet and Dry: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a spatula. Mix until just combined; avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.

5. Bake: Loaf: Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs. If the top browns too quickly, tent with foil after 40 minutes.

Muffins: Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about ¾ full). Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

6. Cool: Loaf: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Muffins: Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a rack.

A mother’s innate compassion and capacity to lov A mother’s innate compassion and capacity to love her child unconditionally is beyond words. No doubt you’ve felt this from your own mother, grandmother, and/or another maternal presence in your life. Ideally, we all receive that limitless compassion from our mother—but that isn’t always our reality. And if your inner work originates from “mother issues,” it isn’t something to hold onto or feel jilted by. It’s simply part of your dance as much as it is hers.
This arises from the law of cause and effect—Karma—our eternal dance with the universe and each other. In Eastern teachings, the first practice for anyone is to become like a compassionate, protective, loving mother. A mother’s love for her child is innate, regardless of soul histories. Those histories reveal themselves in myriad ways for mother, father, and child. As a child, you may have wanted to scream, “It’s not fair!” Yet whenever aversion or longing toward another arises—especially toward our mother—the practice is first compassion for ourselves and for that relationship. Aversion and longing are two sides of the same coin: grasping. And grasping is the root of all suffering.
A mother’s capacity to hold unconditional love and compassion comes from the Divine and from her journey of creating and holding her child in sacred space—from conception, through gestation in the womb, into birth, and beyond. As I mentioned before, the conduit between heart and womb is the energetic pathway linking a mother to her children.
If you’d like to honor the life your mother gave you, take a few moments now. Close your eyes and imagine yourself back in the warm waters of her womb: feeling her heartbeat, her breath soothing you, her voice reassuring you as you transform and grow into your physical form. Sit in that miraculous space of metamorphosis and give silent gratitude for her strength, her love, and the suffering she endured to bring you into this world. #motherlove #divinecompassion #karmaandhealing
