To Remember Your Human means to remember you are human. Be fully present to your feelings, thoughts and body.
Likewise, it means you learn how to remember your humanness, your humanity, your human way.

Power of Words in Water

WORDS HAVE POWER WATER VIBRATION EXPERIMENT

Power of Your Words in Water.

Do this experiment with the details below.

#Dremoto

We tested the words:
LOVE, FEAR, WAR, JOY, PEACE AND ANGER
in our water vibration experiment with flowers.

Water is powerful and contains information. Try this experiment at home or at your work and please send me the results.

Tag me or share with me your video link so I can add it here and on youtube for all the results to be combined.

We are looking for North Facing store fronts to replicate this experiment!

EXPERIMENT - WORDS HAVE POWER (IN WATER)

It’s been 2 weeks since we started our water experiment. So far, we’ve seen no changes in the flowers – not one single wilted petal..

Could it be that love conquers all?

Could it be that the love in our little shop is so strong, all words of hate seem insignificant?

Power of Words is undeniable – Love really can conquer all.

Water is believed to be affected by words because of their vibration. Dr. Emoto has experimented over many years on ice crystals, freezing water in the lab and then examining crystals formed, viewing them and photographing them under the microscope.

Since then, many people have tried out the water and rice word experiment. Here I designed a flower and water experiment.

This was set up in my Apothecary Shop in the store window on the north side, with no direct sun.

Sample Progress Photo from the On Location Set up from our Healing Muse Apothecary:

“Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese water researcher, showed that water altered it’s structure based on the words and sounds being played. Here we test the simple words above. Look at each plant and say or think the word in front of it”.

Lost and Found

Lost and found this spring.

Heavy clumps of melting snow plummeted from shingled roofs, on my walk along the slippery sidewalk. Nearby evergreens bowed wearily under the weight of their captive snow. Record snowfalls buried us knee deep this past February. But the big melt is coming and so is spring, I thought. Getting lost and found this spring is refreshing…

Big Melt is Coming

big melt of spring with Grady the winter loving dog lost and found

I was lost in thought, when a sloppy glob of slush hit me on the head and brought me back to reality. I realized everything is lost and found, not just me in my thoughts.

In the fall, nature may seem lost but then is found again. As the trees stand barren, the land feels empty. Earth grows cold and dark.

Time passes and the loss of autumn is reborn this spring.

The warmth is coming; it is inevitable. Spring is almost here and she brings us new life. Despite the late-winter blustery winds and the snow covered branches, buds grow quietly, determined. In no time at all, they break through to the warmth of the spring sun. March rallies new found hope in hearts worn down by the cold, dark nights of winter.

This is a month of beginnings.

However many trees lose leaves, no matter what branches break in the winter winds and how many garden plants may have wilted away, many more are returning. Nature grows more each spring. We cannot stop her. She is robust and determined in her emergence.

lost and found from autumn to spring
health column on wellness

This graceful life lesson of all that exists, is understated and so often overlooked.

Life is expanding.

We are expanding with every breath.
My gentle nudge to every client is: ‘No Breath is Ever Wasted’. Thus, no step is in vain.

Every step we take is the right step along our path. We are of nature. And, nature is all that is. As the snowdrops reveal their slender white caps through the late winter snow, we are reminded to accept what is. Accept it why? Because ‘what is’ is continually transforming and growing. What is today, is no longer tomorrow. Know this fundamental truth: our biggest challenge is to choose our direction. Spring, the season of re-birth, supports us in setting a new goal, naturally.

– your new direction begins now –

grow in a new direction from being lost to found

But which way do you grow?

Are you a meadow or a forest? Perhaps, you are learning another language or growing a family? You can’t grow everything at once. After all, even nature only grows in one direction at a time: first roots below then plants above. Simple, no?

Do this Spring Exercise to enhance your mind and body connection.

First, decide what five plants or animals grab your attention? Then, choose what you find interesting about each one. Without a doubt, there is a connection and life lesson there for you. Every lesson on your path is like a day in the season of your life. Ask yourself a question. Instantly your mind starts to figure out the answer. The trick is to take time. Now, sit with the question long enough (at least a few breaths, ideally longer!), as if you are thawing from a winter of rest. The question of direction is like planting a seed in the garden. At this moment, you truly are in charge of your destiny.

What will you plant? What will your grow with your mind, with your heart?

You have the ability, the skills, the experience and resources to grow in any direction you choose. No matter how small a change you make, it creates a world of difference in your life. Remember the Chinese proverb: a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step (Lao Tau, Tao Te Ching) You may be inspired by the migration of the monarch butterflies as you spot the first butterfly of the season. This could mean you are ready for big migrations. Perhaps the returning hummingbirds catch your eye. Some Indigenous cultures view hummingbirds as good luck, harbingers of joy and love. It may be a sign to open your heart to joy of life this season. Whatever the lesson may be, know that is there just for you.

I found this lesson for spring in a little free library: 
The only true exile is the writer who lives in his own country. -- Julio Cortazar

You are right on time.

“A tree as great as a man’s embrace springs from a small shoot;
A terrace nine stories high begins with a pile of earth;
A journey of a thousand miles starts under one’s feet.” — Tao Te Ching Chapter 64

SPICES AND RICE

SPICES AND RICE WORKSHOP WESTON HUB

Spices are important flavour enhancers and micronutrient rich kitchen aids.

Pro Tip: Toast your dried spices and herbs to bring out their flavour.

grab a coffee and lets plan out april the month of discoveries this spring
masala chai
spices and rice workshop

Workshop: 2 Rice ‘Dishes’ + Toasted Spice experience with Masala Chai

Toasted Curried Rice with Indian spices and chips mix for seasoning
Horchata – Iced Rice Milk with Toasted cinnamon
Masala Chai fresh made spice blend

See recipes for reference below.

For the spicy, healthy kitchen must have spices:

Marjoram Oregano Cinnamon Parsley
Basil Ginger Root Nutmeg Clove Black Pepper

Flavour Rich Herbs and Spices for Cooking:

Thyme Fennel Allspice Cardamom
Turmeric Curry Caraway

Mexican Horchata

Horchata (pronounced or-CHAH-tah) is a popular Mexican drink that is often described as a sweet rice milk beverage. Horchata is made out of rice, milk, vanilla, and cinnamon. From: Lauren Allen July 17, 2019 Recipe

HOW TO MAKE HORCHATA:

2 cups White Rice
4 cups Distilled Water (or filtered water)
3-4 tablespoons grated cinnamon/powder or handful of cinnamon sticks
1/2 tsp Vanilla

Protip: If you use Fresh Vanilla pods in your cooking, save the pod shells in a container in the fridge and use for infusing in drink preparations like this horchata.

Blend. Blend the rice, water, and cinnamon sticks until the rice and cinnamon sticks are roughly ground. Add the remaining water and blend again.
Let Sit. Pour the contents into a pitcher or container with a fitted lid and place on your countertop overnight (or for at least 8 hours).

Strain. Pour the rice mixture into a fine mesh strainer, into a pitcher and discard the rice.

Add. Stir in the milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and sugar (to your preference). Chill until ready to serve. Stir well before serving and serve over ice. Tastes equally delicious hot with a cinnamon stick as a stir stick. Add honey instead of sugar for a healthy sweet, winter drink.

Masala Chai Recipe

Chai Spice is a Indian spice blend made with various aromatic and healing spices. Also known as Chaika masala or tea masala powder, this is an aromatic spice blend. From: Swasthi on August 28, 2023 Recipe

Masala Chai Spice Sample Recipe

1 tablespoon black pepper (8 grams)
3 tablespoons green cardamoms (20 grams)
1 small stick (8 grams) True cinnamon (Ceylon cinnamon, not cassia)
1 tablespoon cloves (6 grams)
2 tablespoons ground dried ginger (14 grams)
1 to 1½ tablespoons fennel seeds (7 to 10 grams)
3 Black cardamoms (3 grams, optional)
1 large star anise
1 medium nutmeg (4 grams)

To enhance flavour, take all the above ingredients and chop or grind coarsely and toast on low in a pan. Let cool. Place in mortar and pestle or spice grinder. Grind to powder and store in a cool dark place for up to 6 weeks. Refresh spices regularly. They oxidize and lose their potency and flavour.

Add a teaspoon of Masala Chai mix to boiling water, cook for 4-5 minutes, strain into a mug, add milk for creamy texture or honey/sugar for a sweet finish.

Curried Rice – Simple Recipe

Curried Rice is rich in flavour and vital warming spices, that are perfect for a cold winter day.

Curry originated in the Indian subcontinent. The word comes from the Indian Tamil word “Kari” meaning a sauce or soup to be eaten with rice. Curry comprises a mix of these main spices: coriander, turmeric, cumin, and red chili. Source: curryfoodie.com/a-brief-history-of-curry/

Protip: Pick up a Garam Masala mix from a local Indian grocery, to ensure the spices are fresh and full of flavour

Ingredients needed (From: Alida Ryder April 2, 2020 Recipe )

Jasmine / Basmati rice Onion Garlic + Ginger
Turmeric Curry powder / Garam Masala (either will work) Water / stock
Frozen peas (optional) Salt to season

How to (Quick Version) make curry rice

Saute onion in a medium-sized pot until translucent then add ginger, garlic and spices. Use Garam Masala and Turmeric or you can use any Indian spices you have.

Common Indian spices: Curry powder, Cardamom, Cumin, Coriander

Add the rice and a pinch of salt and stir to coat in the spices then pour in the water or stock. Allow the rice to cook until most of the liquid has been absorbed then stir in the peas (if using). Reduce the heat to its lowest setting, cover the rice and allow to cook for another 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and allow to steam for 10 minutes. Season the rice, fluff with a fork and serve.
