The wind whispering
Through the grasses and the leaves
Weaving, bending, dance
Breezy voices sing and sigh
Waving greetings at the sky …
Allium is the ancient Latin word for garlic, from the Celtic word all, meaning “hot or burning”. Its species name sativum means “cultivated” or “planted.” Spear plant or Gar-leac is the Anglo-Saxon word from which garlic is derived.
The London College of Physicians recommended garlic to prevent plague.

As an addition to the posts, Hygiene and Prevention and Airport Safety, one more area of focus would be gas pumps. I wear gloves, but buttons and handles can also be easily wiped down with disinfectant wipes before use.

At times, as I’ve aimed the camera, I think I know what I’ve captured… then looking later, I know I didn’t truly see at all. Not then.
Tidal force is what causes high and low tides. It is the side closest to the moon that pushes the inflows and draws the outflows with the moon’s gravitational pull. Just as, with each planet, there is an energetic effect. I have always been interested in how this affects us as people. More, I wondered if there were mantras for the planets 🪐 which help us navigate the energetic currents that tug at our own lives.
Mercury has been the talk of late, being in retrograde (appearing to move backwards). I find that working in Mercury’s energy (which has been associated with communications of all kinds) with my voice and words, has been interesting to me. It is intentional thought, throat chakra in action, words and sound – all combined – focused towards those very things: Mercury and communications. The idea is, that these types of mantras help to sooth or smooth-out the natural energies that are at play in our lives. It is helpful to know your birth chart if you’d like to pin-point a specific issue along with its planetary associations.
You can chant with mala beads 108 times. Or perhaps, set aside a certain amount of time and make it a part of your meditation practice.

In his book, “Mantra, Sacred Words of Power”, Thomas Ashley-Farrand says, “Attention is energy. Intention qualifies attention.”
Whether you pray, dance, sing, drum, or chant mantras… what kind of attention is your intention qualifying?
I had not tried all of these uses for baking soda and didn’t realize it was used for so many things. I think my most memorable use of baking soda was with our calf many years ago. When he would get bloated, I would put some baking soda into his formula. After he drank it, I would take him for a walk and pretty soon, he was all better again.

Mediocrity is self-inflicted and genius is self-bestowed.
Early in 2019, I was struggling with energy and I came across a product called TianChi. It makes a drink which you take on an empty stomach in the morning. I took this every morning (It didn’t take this long to see the effects, but I continued taking it!) for a month and a half, and I was off and running again with as much energy as I’d ever had. The adaptogens found in this formula are: Shizandra, Rhodiola, Reishi Mushroom, Ashwaganda and Eluthero.
This formula was created by Master Tonic Chinese Herbalist, Roger Drummer and his formula can be found at HerbWorks.com

While working at an herb shop a few years ago, I learned about a wonderful immune system strengthener. I don’t take this every day, but it has been a wonderful prevention used at the first sign of a cold or not feeling well: Wellness Formula can really give your immune system a needed boost!
The rainy night has been replaced with blue skies and bitter wind. It’s time to bundle up! 🧥
Throughout the day, I am in and out of hospitals, loading and unloading patients for transport. I don’t have time to wash my hands every five minutes. I also don’t want sanitizer on my skin all day long.
One thing that is emphasized with any virus alert or with flue season is to keep your hands clean, and to keep your hands away from your face.
***
One solution to putting sanitizer on my skin all day is keeping medical gloves on. I sanitize the hades out of my gloves all day – instead of my skin – and have clean gloves until I have a moment to wash my hands. You can also layer gloves and strip off the outer layer as needed.
Stay well!
