The Reiki (Kyogi) Principles –
Today Only …
Let Go of Anger,
Let go of Worry,
With Thankfulness,
Work Diligently (on one’s self)
Be Kind to (Self and) Others.
—From Founder of Usui Reiki Ryohō, USUI Mikao Sensei
(B. August 15, 1865 – D. March 9, 1926; as written on his memorial stone.)
Photos here are of places where sessions, classes and retreats have been/will be offered. The first photo was taken at the North Shore Medical Center, in the hospital. No matter where I have offered reiki sessions people report “feeling relaxed.” So I wonder, how much do the aesthetics of the setting matter? What are your thoughts?

Ayurveda Wellness Healing, LLC knows the effects poor food combining can have on the digestive system. It can produce indigestion, fermentation and gas formation and if prolonged, can lead to toxemia and disease.
A few examples:
Eating raw and cooked foods together
Bananas and Milk
Berries and Dairy
Spices and herbs are often added in Ayurvedic cooking to help make foods more compatible or to ease undesirable effects.
One example: adding cooling cilantro to hot spicy food can help it to be digested.

How often do you look up at the night sky?
One Vedic text declares that the entire universe is contained inside ones heart.
Feeling down? Try looking up at the night sky tonight…when looking at the stars it re-connects us with the universe.
Looking up is uplifting, as it raises ones sternum and chin, allowing the rib cage to open and our lungs to expand. This is so key as most of us look down at computers, electronic gadgets, our feet while we walk, and reading.
So give it a try tonight, step away from the TV, your phone or anything else that can wait…and let stargazing ignite hope, dreams and a sense of wonder.

Black Pepper = heat
Through the lens of Ayurveda, the heating and pungent properties of black pepper work to help metabolize food as it is digested in our system. The stimulating quality is also used to clear congestion in the respiratory system as well as other processes.
Choose organically grown black pepper associated with a fair trade cooperative is highly preferable to conventional pepper.
Black Pepper Aids Digestion through the lens of Ayurveda in rekindling agni, (digestive fire)
Black Pepper is an Antioxidant and helps in cold and flu remedies. Black pepper and honey is a traditional Ayurvedic approach to respiratory congestion, helping to expectorate and dry up mucus membranes (Frawley, 1986). In Western herbalism, it is used in antiseptic cold and flu preventatives like fire cider.
Pepper has cleansing and antioxidant properties, and helps to transport the benefits of any other herbs to the different parts of the body.
Black pepper is a warming spice and has a pungent taste. It is terrific for pacifying Kapha, and just a little bit helps pacify Vata. Black pepper should be used in moderation as it does increase Pitta.
Share with us how you use Black Pepper in your diet.

How to Prevent the Flu – Important information from the Centers of Disease Control (CDC ) on flu prevention:
Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. This will help prevent spreading your illness to others.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially when someone is ill. *Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat a balanced meal plan of healthy, nutritious food.
Talk to Your Doctor! Ask for their recommendations regarding flu vaccinations, prevention and treatment.
The Flu Shot and more information about the flu vaccine from Mayo Clinic.
Myths and Misconceptions about the Flu Vaccine – “the vaccine does not cause the flu.”
