First
of all I incorporate them where ever and whenever I can, into nearly every
aspect of my cooking, baking, and for our food and drink. Their healing magical qualities then can
infuse throughout my entire mind, body and soul because I am literally steeped
in their energy.
Even
though I have been walking this path for such a long time I still know I have
quite a ways to go. My body is a work in progress as is my mind and spirit.
Herbs have been my friend, my guide and my help over these many years and
continue to expand their role in my life.
No
matter what I am eating or drinking or what stage of food, fast and feast I am
in – I find a way to include a variety of herbs with every meal. Tonight we had
fresh rosemary bread, onion, nettle and cabbage stir-fry with herbed cous-cous…
Of
course when I am fasting – these are the mainstay of my diet – I love the way
an infusion of herbs can absorb directly into my system through my stomach
wall. Herbs have such an intelligence, they go to work right away on functions
and systems – just as nature intended.
If
you haven’t yet entrusted your health to something ancient and wise – an energy
who knows how to work with your body while creating only peace of mind –
perhaps it’s time to befriend a herb!
Start
out small – try a chamomile tea (get organic or grow your own), add some extra
rosemary, thyme or sage to your meal – take a bath in sea salt and lavender.
Find
a few ways to include herbs into your routine – your body will sing and your spirit
will soar.
