This blog is an exploration of understanding how to live in harmony with the earth and our bodies.
I will be writing and sharing my knowledge on my many subjects:
- How To Juice Fresh Fruits And Vegetables
My favorite combinations of fruit and vegetable juices - using a Champion Juicer.
- Eating Raw Food To Cleanse The Body
How to prepare raw and fermented food to cleanse the body using what I learned from Anne Wigmore through her books and videos. I learned a great deal from eating raw food - and will be sharing why I pursued this lifestyle, what happened as a result, and why I would apply it as a natural way to clean the body so that it can heal itself. Living on raw foods alone is not necessary when you understand the mental and emotional ways we are affected by that lifestyle - and that it is a combination of what you think and what you eat that is ultimately the health of our bodies and our minds.
- How To Cleanse The Colon
I will share about my experiences with cleansing the colon using Arise and Shine Herbal Products. I experimented with cleansing my body using herbs and clay - I learned a lot about my body and listening to it through the process of cleansing.
- Earthship Biotecture - Completely Self Sufficient Home Off The Grid
How to create a home that is off the grid - using solar technology - water recycling - and the earth's natural temperature to maintain it. It's about time we have the option of Living completely self sufficient - with no more utility bills! See the EarthShip Home Videos - they are incredible - I was changed forever!
- How to grow a Vegetable Garden using Bio-Intensive Organic Gardening Methods.
I'm am so excited about using this method - my father learned about this wonderful method of Organic Gardening and he taught me about it. Because I grew up in California - we had a yard to garden in but very little space - and my father was very concerned about the earth and the soil of our garden and how he would treat such a depleted soil to grow our garden in.
Through a resource in Palo Alto (near our home) - The Common Ground Garden Center - my father learned how to Bio-Intensive Organic Garden using methods that build up the soil - and how to return the healthy micro-organisms back to the earth. Through my father I learned about:- Mini-farming in a compact space
- How to compost correctly through organic methods
- Using a double digging soil preparation
- Raised Bed Gardening
- Companion planting
Bio-Intensive Organic Gardening methods never uses pesticides or poisons - so there is no killing of insects or the earth - and there is no use of chemical fertilizers. Why? Because when you are using non-organic treatments they kill the very life giving parts of the soil - micro-organisms. And if you kill them - the earth loses it's life force. We must replenish the soil we have depleted and that is what Bio-Intensive Organic Gardening does.
- How to Create a Flower Garden using Bio-Intensive Organic Agricultural Methods.
I will explore the design of a garden. It has been my hearts desire to create a very special garden when I build my home that I will spend time in to meditate and contemplate and there are a lot of wonderful ways a garden can be specialized for creating a peaceful and serene environment using: waterfalls, fountains, bird baths, comfortable seating areas, walk ways, arbors, out door places to entertain with a fire pit and places to cook. So many ways to play with the design of a garden - creating the design is the start - and allowing the creative process of building it will be journey.
- Web Links To Resources About Green Gardening, Living, and Buildings
I wanted a place to put all of my research about green living - and will be compiling a list of links to resources on the Internet about Green gardening, living, and home building.
Creating harmony and caring for the earth starts with us - I hope after you read this blog that you find something that inspires you to live naturally - to live close to nature - and listen to the knowingness that lives in your heart.
With Kindness and Love,
