The Goddess Lakshmi, the inner radiant abundance
turn basement flooding into a spa!
In the midst of all the rain, the extent of the difficulty here at this house is the basement flooding. Quite fortunate indeed. As Lulu and I sweep the water towards the sump pump I’ve been sprinkling essential oils. Last flood lavender, this one peppermint and frankincense. It smells so good and really raises the energy…Going with the flow the best we know.
a purrfect breakfast
The Breakfast:
Spelt cake, with honey, flax, & baked apples with cinnamon
The Recipe (from Hildegard of Bingen):
Spelt Cake: Mix together 1 C Stone ground Spelt Flour, 1 C water or milk or mixture ( i use 1/2 and 1/2), 1 tsp non aluminum baking powder, 3 T oil ( i use grapeseed but will use olive oil in a pinch) & 1 egg. Hildegard’s recipe adds a T of sugar but i prefer to alleviate it and get the sweetness from the honey and apples. Let the mixture stand for a few.
Chop apples (1 or more per person), coat with cinnamon, put in baking dish with a little butter on top, and bake at about 350 for 1/2 hour or so. Try to use all organic ingredients and leave skin on the apples.
Timing wise; I prepare the apples first and get them in the oven then the spelt mixture and let it stand.
Prepare spelt cakes as you would a pancake. Smother with honey and ground flax seeds (grind in coffee grinder and keep in a mason jar) and top with the apples.
Excellent and Ideal nutritionally!
Have it with a cup of Organo Gold black coffee with heated and frothed milk and a dash of sugar. YUM!!!! If you have never tried it and love coffee, you really must. I feel the difference when I run out.
face scrub & body scrub
Face Scrub: Mix together finely ground oats, honey, and coconut oil. Start with small amounts of each and get to the consistency you want. You decide how much of each. Equal parts may work fine. Gently work into your skin, let it set a few moments, then with a soft wash cloth, cotton pad, or simply hands and warm water remove. May not even have to put anything else on.
Body Scrub: Take one part sugar to 2 parts olive oil. Since I use raw sugar I must grind it in a coffee grinder to make it more powdery or else it’s too coarse. I can use a T olive oil and a half T sugar to cover my body. I often put drops of lavender oil. Use whatever oils you fancy or need at the time, then shower and voile you are ready to go with a slight protection on your skin!
Invisible Zinc
This is the best sunscreen, which is a barrier not a skin absorbed chemical. It uses zinc oxide, and is called Invisible Zinc, You can order it on line, direct from Australia, or I live in the New York area and there is one pharmacy which sells it. To the health of your skin! The tinted moisturizer is fab!
The Best Water…Blue Solar
What kind of water to drink has been a question that has recently been answered for me.
I learned this from Dr. Hew Lin, who is the healer from the book Zero Limits.
He says to take blue glass bottles, fill with tap water, seal them, then charge them in the sun.
The sun totally purifies the water. Now that the warm weather is here I do it every day.
Here is a link of where I purchased my blue glass bottles. yum. I also use Saratoga bottles and cork them while i’m charging them, then use the metal cap that they come with when I carry them with me.
