Happy New Year! Winter is often seen as a
time of year where everything is slowing down
and going dormant. In California, we have the
privilege of seeing the hills bursting with
glorious green and there are signs of life
all around us. Take a look at the photos
sprinkled through the newsletter to see
samples from our own yard: Miner's lettuce (a
local edible native), Strawberry bush
blossoms, batheing birds, calendula and
hummingbird sage flowers.
Peruse our January offerings for something
inspirational to brighten the (not so) dreary
winter.

Understanding Mind and Body Relationship
January is a good time to call on
inspiration. The third eye center, in the
forehead, carries the energy of seeing life
with clarity, insight, intuition, heightened
self-awareness and vision.
A simple exercise to awaken the sixth chakra
follows.
- Sit comfortably in a straight-backed
chair with your feet on the ground forming a
right angle to the knees with the hands
resting lightly on the knees.
- Close your eyes lightly.
- Take a few deep breaths and focus on the
top of the head allowing yourself to connect
to spirit.
- Move the focus to the center of your
forehead.
- Imagine an extra eye there.
- Watch the eye open and notice details
about it. What color is it? Does it have
clear vision? Or is the vision cloudy? Can
you even visualize an eye?
- Simply observe your sensations and take
another deep breath.
- Let go of the exercise and gently open
your eyes.
- Repeat this exercise regularly until you
are able to perceive clear details of this
eye and see clearly out of it.
- Once clarity ahs been achieved, you can
intentionally open this eye and receive
inspiration and direction.
There are many ways to
view the relationship
between the mind and body. They are an
intertwined expression of the deepest parts
of ourselves. We like to encourage people to
become aware of the ways that the body
reflects our personal issues, as a reflection
of what we feel and our attitudes in life.
This awareness can assist us in gaining a
deeper understanding of our experiences as
cause and effect. The different parts of the
body also carry symbolic expression.

Liver Flush
|
|
Post-holiday cleansing
Many people are looking to get back on track
with their gastro-intestinal health after the
heavy holiday eating. Here is a great Liver
Flush to go along with a cleansing diet of
homemade veggie broths and lightly steamed
vegetables (don't forget your root veggies at
this time of year).
Liver Flush
4 - 6 tbsp fresh lemon or lime juice
2 - 3 tbsp pure, cold pressed, olive, almond
or sesame oil
1 - 3 cloves crushed garlic
1 grapefruit or 2 - 3 oranges, juiced
Blend all ingredients thoroughly.
It is most palatable with oranges for many
people. You can also add fresh pomegranate or
cranberry juice during the winter months.
