PASSIONFRUIT

I had the best harvest EVER from the granadilla vine I planted to create some privacy on a boundary wall.
My neighbour was thrilled this season.
But the yield has been so big, that they have deposited checkers packets of the fruit over our wall!! It kind of messes up their lawn 🤭

I wanted to scream over the wall,
"Did you know recent studies have shown the seed is really good for the skin, and it's high in Vitamin A and C, not to mention iron?"
But I just sent a WhatsApp saying thanks neh.

It's used in Ayurveda to clear gout and diarrhoea, and to build ashti dhatu (bones) with its rich mineral content.

Recent studies reveal that the seed helps protect the skin, reducing aging and the vitamin C promotes collagen production. It has anti-inflammotary properties alleviating acne and eczema.
It dilates blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowrs blood pressure.
It's high in potassium which balances sodium levels, reduces hypertension, and reducing the risk of strokes and heart attacks.

It's really just an amazing fruit!!!

LIVER SUPPORT
Here’s a simple way to protect and support your liver this festive season ⬇️

Make yourself a cup of dandelion tea every morning. This herb is so abundant, you would probably find it growing in your garden or on the pavement. You’ll need a few leaves and the flowers are pretty too. Steep in a cup of hot water, strain and drink.

➡️Ayurvedic characteristics of Dandelion
Effect on the doshas: V+PK-
Taste: Bitter, Sweet
Energy: Cooling in nature

➡️Actions on the body
Alterative: tends to restore normal health and purifies the blood
Laxative: promotes bowel movements
Promotes the activity of the liver and kidneys and promotes urination.

➡️Vitamin & Mineral Content
A, B, C, K, E
potassium, iron, zinc, boron, calcium

➡️Value to our body
All the parts of the dandelion are helpful for our good health. A diuteric is an anti-inflammotary substance that stimulates urination. Unlike other diuretics that strip the body of potassium, dandelions are rich in potassium and replaces what the body uses.

It helps the kidneys to flush out toxins, the pancreas to manufacture insulin and reduce blood sugar, it helps the liver to remove toxins from our body and to digest lipids in food.

➡️Directions for use:
Make a tea of the flowers, leaves or roots.
Use the blanched leaves in salads.
Chop and roast the roots and use as a substitute for coffee.

Will you be using dandelion this festive season? Let us know in the comments 🌱

In the book by Joseph Chilton Pierce, he explores the idea held by many cultures, that the mind and its reality are complimentary poles of an unbroken continuum.
In Vedic thought the mind is but one of 5 sheaths that create our reality.
💫 The way we experience and respond to the world enters into the making of that world so experienced."

🕳 A rough mirroring takes place between the mind and our reality.

🤍 Reality is influenced by our ideas about reality.

⚡️We can consciously break through the confines of consensus and shape the reality we create.

This is how a group meditating in one place can create rain in a dessert somewhere else.

It is how us meditating on peace can create peace in places that so need it right now.

With this in mind, please join us on Friday, 18 October.
