The 10 top Healthiest Seeds on Earth

They come in all different sizes, shapes and colours. The seed is an embryonic plant itself and the origin of nutrition. A plant goes to great lengths to produce each seed and fill it with high concentrations of vitamins, minerals, proteins, essential oils and dormant enzymes. If you're looking for a high quality, nutritious and filling snack, seeds are tough to beat. Let's look at the ten healthiest seeds on Earth and how to consume them. A seed is life. It is a living food. It is impossible to eat a raw seed and not derive nutrition. Many seeds are edible and the majority of human calories come from seeds, especially from legumes and nuts. Seeds also provide most cooking oils, many beverages and spices and some important food additives. In different seeds the seed embryo or the endosperm dominates and provides most of the nutrients. The storage proteins of the embryo and endosperm differ in their amino acid content and physical properties. Read more at:

The fierce face of the feminine

In this talk Chameli Ardagh will speak on how to allow for a natural response towards injustice, without creating more hurt, how to embody the power and beauty of feminine rage, why we are called to step up and give voice to the power of the fierce feminine, and how anger is not intrinsically negative, only what we do with.

This universe is a shared dream

Reblogged from Mystic Mamma

“This universe is a mass shared dream that all six-and-a-half billion of us are collaboratively dreaming up into materialization. When we realize this, we can put our lucidity together so that we can co-creatively dream a much more grace-filled universe into incarnation. This is nothing other than an evolutionary quantum leap in human consciousness, unimaginable until now.”

~Paul Levy

“A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is a reality.

Nurture yourself

Reblogged from Mystic Mama

“One  must take time to retreat to be nourished and rejuvenate before creativity can begin again. Make sure you are nurturing yourself and feeding your own light. Think about what this means to you and how you can best nurture your own ‘shine.’

“Think of yourself as a growing plant. A plant puts forth beautiful blooms when it has the energy to do so. The more it is fed, the less energy it needs for growth. If at any point your growth requires too much effort, try to find the needed nourishment.

“If a plant does not rest and receive nourishment after blooming, the next bloom will be small or withered. This is your responsibility. The river of life will take you to many places, but you must feed yourself along the way. Don’t expect to be on, creative, and productive all the time. This is not natural; and doesn’t support healthy growth.

“Remember the nature of the human soul is to nurture the earth. You must learn how your own light needs to be nourished and supported, so you can be a caretaker of the earth.”

~Sandra Ingerman from Medicine for the Earth

10 HEALING BENEFITS OF GINGER

Reblogged from Food Matters 

Ayurveda gives ginger the status of a virtual medicine chest. That’s because this wonder spice has time-tested digestion-friendly properties, in addition to its numerous other health benefits. In India, ginger is liberally used in daily life. Ginger-infused chai is a household favorite, and it’s grandma’s antidote of choice for battling cold and flu. On millions of dining tables in India, you’ll see matchsticks of fresh ginger that have turned a soft pink from being soaked in lemon juice and salt: a zingy accompaniment to any cooked meal. Let’s give this knobbly root a closer look.

10 Terrific Benefits of Ginger

1. Haven’t been feeling hungry? Eat fresh ginger just before lunch to stoke a dull appetite and fire up the digestive juices. 2. Ginger improves the absorption and assimilation of essential nutrients in the body. 3. Ginger clears the ‘microcirculatory channels’ of the body, including the pesky sinuses that tend to flare up from time to time. 4. Feeling airsick or nauseous? Chew on ginger, preferably tossed in a little honey. 5. Can’t stop the toot-a-thon? Gas—oops—guess what?! Ginger helps reduce flatulence! 6. Tummy moaning and groaning under cramps? Munch on ginger. 7. Reeling under joint pain? Ginger, with its anti-inflammatory properties—can bring relief. Float some ginger essential oil into your bath to help aching muscles and joints. 8. Just had surgery? Chewing ginger post-operation can help overcome nausea. 9. Stir up some ginger tea to get rid of throat and nose congestion. And when there’s a nip in the air, the warming benefits of this tasty tea are even greater! 10. Bedroom blues? Try adding a gingery punch to a bowl of soup. (Pss...the Ayurvedic texts credit ginger with aphrodisiac properties)

For many of us, the old ways of creating aren't working anymore.  Affirmations, vision boards and goal-setting aren't creating the results they once did.  Why?  The new energies work differently.  Change is available much faster if we are willing to have it that way.

Our guest this week is Pamela Murray from Life Whispering. Pamela accesses the Akashic Records and this week she will be bringing through new information on what's possible with how we create in the new energies!

Top 10 Vegetarian Sources of Protein

Reblogged from Foodmatters

One of the most common myths about the vegetarian diet is that after ditching meat it becomes nearly impossible to meet the suggested guidelines for protein intake.

The USDA recommends that women get about 46 grams of protein a day and men get about 56. Some people, like athletes and pregnant or breastfeeding women, may need more, according to WebMD. But, thanks in part to initiatives like Meatless Monday, this year, Americans are expected to eat 12 percent less meat and poultry than five years ago, USA Todayreported. While protein is essential to growth, building muscle, the immune system and heart and respiratory functions, MSNBC explains, meat-free protein has the benefit of generally being lower in calories and fat than the animal variety. Whether you're a vegetarian , or not there are lots of tasty meat-free sources of protein that also pack additional health benefits. Read through the list of the top 10 vegetarian sources of protein below and tell us your favorite in the comments.

1. Spirulina

2. Hemp

3. Chia Seeds

4. Quinoa

5. Tempeh

6. Almonds and Almond Butter

7. Veggies

8. Lentils and Beans

9. Organic, Plain, Greek Yogurt (not vegan)

10. Eggs (not vegan)

Back to My Roots

Unedited raw....woke up at 6.30 and the words started pouring out of me.

I have just moved to the country side and I love it. I grew up in the country side and I have a feeling of coming home now that I'm back. It was very surprising to me because I have been fighting this place for so long thinking that I would never ever move back here again. Maybe it is my age, maybe I'm getting wiser or maybe it is my roots calling for me so loudly that fighting it was impossible. It was a choice of course but I also have the feeling that it just happened one day. 

My first reaction when I felt that feeling of coming home was OH NO. I don't want this to happen. Back here??? To this little village, but hey what am I going to do here? And then slowly during the last few weeks it all seems so clear. I could stay in the city and try to be big shot. And fight and fight and fight! Or I could live in this sweet little place where people have a sense of community and help each other. They see one another and they care for each other. And also I feel so energized and strong living in nature and not in the concrete jungle. Now I just open the door and mother nature greets me. With butterflies, flowers, wild strawberries, an ocean full of fish, oysters and mussels, with beautiful fields full of flowers, fresh spring water....abundant, loving mother.....always giving and never asking for anything in return.

And there are so many things to do here. I can imagine all of the beautiful things I can produce and sell here. Handmade things made with love. Open a little cafe. Produce my own crafts and arts. And it is all much easier here than it would be in the city. With all of this said. What I really wanted to share is that I feel it is time to stop fighting what is right here in front of me. I'm getting ready to drop my own agenda and follow something else. To follow that witch is effortless, natural and is making my heart sing. I don't think it will always be easy and without obstacles. But I don't feel that sense of struggle when I wake up in the morning with majestic trees outside of my window, the leafs playing their melody and the birds singing. I have the feeling that I'm taken care of and that I will forever be so. A sense of coming home maybe not so much to this physical place but coming home to myself. And having said that I think I could live anywhere but it is more natural for me to choose  a place where people are sweet, less stressed and helpful and where nature isn't a 20 min tram ride away. It is here with me always!
