Very Cool, check it out.

So I have this thing about recording the pieces of the puzzle, collecting them as treasures, I play with them as they mentally twirl in my fingers, always wondering…uhmmm…where does this piece go?

Tonight, was one of those nights.

The moon has been calling me for the last year or so, but of course many times throughout my life, I’ve looked up to see where the moon is, as if I was trying to find myself reflecting back.

I just realized my cycle is nearly identical to the seasons! In the fall I cycle on a waning moon, in the winter, I cycle on the dark moon. Spring, a waxing moon and summer, a full moon.
Wow! I am trying to collect those precise moments in time where I snapped the picture and looked up to see where the moon may be in the sky.

The Cycle of Life - For Women

If you are going to cook...

So I’m all fired up, collecting my canning items so I can purchase some fresh yummies from the farmer’s market tomorrow.   This will be my first canning experience, as an adult that is.  I remember my step-mom, that frugal, frugal woman, would always do this “canning” thing and I thought that is what old people do:  fear the future.

So here I am, 30 years later, scratching my head and thinking “my parents have been conservationists all along!!”  Drying their laundry outdoors, canning foods and freezing for the winter, buying a side of free-range cow every summer to last the family through the year.  Wow dad!!  Thank you SOOO much.

In any event, I’m ashamed to say, I went to Wal-Mart.  I really try to shop local, but ya know, I’m frugal too, I want a good deal as well.  So, I bought the jars at the local store, but needed this elusive “canning funnel”  WTF is that?

Wal-mart, of course, had it.  $6 for the tongs, and few other cool tools.

Then I walked around the corner and was flabergasted to see eco-friendly cookware – at Wal-mart.  And it’s reasonable!!  I’ve been eyeing some of those fancy Donna Gates “preferred” cookware sets, at a lovely $400+.  yikes.   Maybe four years ago, but today, I’m well vested in healthy tools to add to my arsenal and not looking to just consume for sake of consuming.

I’ve been watching Jake get more interested in cooking, and as I’m teaching him the more subtle parts, cringing when I see the scratches in that old teflon.  I know it’s leaking stuff that’s not good for you.  I know it can kill a canary (…which makes me think I know how my dad’s bird died.)   I have one super nice $150 large saute pan, that everything sticks to, requiring copious amounts of oil and generally is useless unless I’m doing thin salsa, ghee or saute.

So I bought the

It’s been nearly a month on my new BTA analysis, supplements without making any food changes.  I’m not eating bad, but I’m not eating “clean” either, because I wanted to check the theory of what effect, if any, supplements have on a body without making any food changes.

Why?

Because my clients typically do not make the dietary changes necessary based on the results of the colonic and nutrition advice.  But when faced with Flow Analysis clients typically will “see” data that shows bad eating habits and are more willing to make changes.  But not always.

Imbalance

So can supplements replace eating right?  Well…in some cases, yes.

I took my analysis exactly a month ago, ate at least one salad per day,which was the only nutrition item I changed, and took my supplements like clients typically take their clients: haphazardly.

And the amazing thing is, I feel SO much better!!  My head feels clear, my digestion is settled, elimination is flowing.  Tomorow I take my BTA analysis and will provide a comparison.

Does flow analysis show the effects of stress and how it affects the terrain of the body?  Increased cortisol levels show stress levels, though the test itself does not show cortisol levels per se, but it does show high ureas, which is waste build up in the colon, liver stagnation, and kidney dysfunction.  My levels have been consistently high.  Uhmm..

So, stay tuned, more data to follow.

Tahoe summer gig is over.  Retreats at the center are not going to work until the chaos settled.

So there ya are!
