A Walk on the Wild Side...If You Dare....Twixt Heaven and Hell are Many Things

Gardens Fair

Fertile loam on which to grow
Plants of every size and shape
Flowers riotous colours flow
Winding paths through gardens fair
Lupins nod their lazy heads
Snapdragon mouths do open wide
Letting humming birds and bees
To pollinate inside

Myrtle sacred to Venus once it was
Harbinger of eternal love
Now grows and populates the land
Sweet fresh aromas bringing there

The Curse

Into the land of Nod there came
Two young brothers
Abel and Cain
East of Eden there it was

Wanderers across the plains
The first vampyre Caine became
Cursed by God for his ill deed
Killing of his brother

Doomed to live forever
Repeating over again
Lifetime after lifetime
Always he to do the same

The Greenery

Out of crevasses and cracks in wall
Greenery doth grow
Pungent aromas in the air
Herbs of every kind peer through

Each a measure of God's love
Knowing how to heal and bring
The magic mirror to us all
Reflecting deep within the trueness
Of our beingness

Sacred are they in many ways
Frankincense and myrrh
Upon the baby Jesus placed
Sage and cedar basil too
Each one a rite of passage gave

Call of Spirit

You who heed the call of Spirit
As through you it always flows
Into the heavens are transported
There to recognize your Self

A journey so sublime iindeed
Where earthly things matter not
No thoughts or feelings interfere
Just knowingness so full and pure

Transcendence so divine it be
A different place for you to see
Beyond the ken of mortal men
Divinity expressed within

and so it is

Garden of Utter Delight

The Garden

One day into a garden fair I wandered
Filled with flowers and herbs and plants
All faces turned towards the sun
That streamed down from heaven above
Pink edged daisies blue tipped rosemary
Green oregano and mint
Swayed they did in tune to me
As I walked around the tree
Under which all this glory grew

On greensward covering the ground
Yellow dandelions marched along
Formation perfect so it seemed
Next to dock leaves big and green
Nestled by nettles ready to sting

Evening

Evening arrived 
Pale moonlight lighted on all
Shimmery shapes appeared
Topped with magic swaying tall
Giving out ethereal bliss

Queen Mab and Tatiana then did come
Gossamer winged were they
Around them fairies danced
Singing in sweet dulcet tones

Overhead in tops of trees
Birdlife watched with hooded eyes
Enjoying all the magic fun
That pranced so far below

Night

At last a multitude of stars
Shone from the firmament
Up on high
Each one a special message had
For those who listened carefully

Silvery sparkles in the sky
Streams of light betwixt each one
Guiding home the many souls
Returning to the Mighty One


And in the garden far below
All was peaceful movement slow
As cell by cell babies did grow
New born taking their first breath
Opening eyes to see the glory of Nature all around
and so it is

Ways to Have a Healthy and Beautiful Body...


First the Not So Good

Unfortunately for you
Start I do with no no's

But if you read on
All the good things
Are said and done


Herbs and Mother Nature's ways
To have health and happiness

Beauty in a few days
Both inside and out

Always of course it is up to you
Hormonal imbalances...
Headaches
Joint pains and Back pain
Arthritis
Asthma
Skin problems
Hot Flashes
Premenstrual syndrome & Menstrual cramps


Above are just a few of the symptoms related to PG 2 imbalances created by eating partially hydrogenated fats and oils, the bad PGs which inhibit the balancing effect of the good PGs Millions of people take aspirin, acetaminophen and other non-steroidal ant-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen or naproxen to alleviate these symptoms.
These drugs work by blocking PG production and yet by avoiding partially hydrogenated trans fats and consuming natural fats and oils, you can often turn around these common, nagging symptoms in as little as 3 to 4 weeks without any other intervention for there is no such thing as normal headaches, normal backaches, normal arthritis or normal menstrual cramps.

And Now the Good Ones

Good Oils for your Body
You can supplement the good PGs with the following oils and know you are taking care of your body:


Black currant seed oil
Evening Primrose oil
Borage oil
Flaxseed (linseed) oil
And/or fish oils such as those containing EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid). 

Ask your doctor which would be useful for you.

What Oils can I cook with?
Olive Oil naturally is a plus in any kitchen and sesame oil is another one to cook with and is kind to your body.

Healthy Foods yum yum yum!

What foods can I Eat and be Healthy?

Lots of fresh vegetables and fresh seasonal fruits, grains and dried beans, preferably organic as they have not been sprayed with pesticides and chemicals. Check that fish does not have a strong smell and also that it is not listed as one that is not safe.
Organic meats that have not been loaded with hormones or come from cows injected with bovine growth hormone.
Eggs and fresh butter, whole milk yoghurt and do try making your own from a culture. I use to make it and it was quite delicious.


HERBS THAT HELP
Clove contains eugenol that offers protection against toxicity.
Ginger is a spice that contains ketones such as gingerol and paradol that provide antitumor and chemopreventive properties. It also provides great protection against toxic pollutants.
Green Tea is a potent antioxidant that can potentially stall the development and progression of certain cancers by neutralizing mutations within the DNA that could lead to the formation of a tumor.
Parsley is Nature’s richest source of phytochemical myristicin that is a powerful liver detoxifier.
Peppermint helps to counter the pollutant benzo(A)pyrene. In a study published in Alternative Medicine Review, Dr. Belanger noted that the essential oils in peppermint have been shown to regress pancreatic, mammary and liver tumors, and may provide chemopreventive properties for colon, skin and lung cancer.
Rosemary extract contains powerful antioxidant factors.
RELAXING HERBS
Valerian, hops, kava kava, passion flower and lavender.

By the Seaside..by the Sea

Air, stress, smoke and toxic pollution are just a few villains in the ongoing struggle for good health. These combined with the hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats and oils help in our feelings of tiredness and exhaustion and can lead to respiratory diseases, pneumonia and heart disease. So we need to be super sleuths and use antioxidants and free-radical scavengers to help clear the baddies away.

Do your research on herbs and whole foods, go into the countryside or by the sea and breathe pure, clean air, meditate on your body being whole and healthy. 

It’s up to you to take the steps that lead to good health and good nutrition for you and your family. Just Do It.
