Say these words out loud and then close your eyes and feel them.

"You are goodness and mercy and compassion and understanding. You are peace and joy and light. You are forgiveness and patience, strength and courage, a helper in time of need, a comforter in time of sorrow, a healer in time of injury, a teacher in times of confusion. You are the deepest wisdom and the highest truth; the greatest peace and the grandest love. You are these things. And in moments of your life you have known yourself as these things. Choose now to know yourself as these things always." -Neale Donald Walsch

An easy thing you can do to warm up your body and digestion:⁠
Drink warm beverages, when thirsty choose 4 oz of warm water with lemon if you like⁠
⁠
Grate 1 inch of peeled raw ginger into a quart jar, fill the jar with boiled water, cover and let steep at least 15 minutes. Drink this when you are thirsty throughout the day. Always drink it warmed or room temperature, never cold.⁠
⁠
Soak your feet in warm ginger tea, make as above but no need to peel the ginger, in fact, save your peels from your drink and add them to this foot soak.⁠
⁠
Place a hot water bottle on lower belly, below your belly button and/ or on your low back for 20 minutes before bed.⁠
⁠
Avoid cold foods. This is the season of soups and stews, root vegetables and cooked greens.⁠

As we enter summer we also enter the season of the Heart. In Chinese Medicine, the metaphor to understand all qualities of the heart is summer, fire, Love for others, compassion. Recently I came across this video that gives me a new view of the construction of our physical heart. I love gaining new perspectives. If the heart is not a block muscle with 4 chambers but rather one rolled-up muscle, how does this change our understanding of blood flow and heart disease?

Gil Hedley, Ph.D. demonstrates the unwinding of the spinning spirals of the human heart center, and reflects upon the nature of the heart center as the place...
