Maybe its an Eastern thing
or maybe its just the way I am
regardless of age and status and discipline
to be better or to harness what is already good
through the years of searching, finding and discovering
things add up
The Joys of Motherhood
the Wonders of Zen
the Discipline of Aikido
the pace of the Organic Life
well-beingness
being in the Moment
attending to what needs be- Fully
but Not losing sight
neither dis-engaging
definitely not procratinating
just adjusting and managing what needs to be given attention to
in your ablest and fullest and efficient-est manner
to people and situations
when it is called for
because bottom line..
at least for me,
at the end of the day
that is what giving and living your best means

Have you ever found yourself in a position and situation
wherein big action isn't really required but full presence is?
Where you are not allowed to think in adlibs or editorials
but with facts and how to communicate them
In the West there is a saying
"Don't just sit there.. do something!"
well there is also an eastern leaning that says
"don't do anything.. just sit"
Be still...
the past few days required that of me
had to ride and sit it out..

Thank you for keeping my seat warm.
Nice to be settling back
have kept up with the E-course's communications
but missed blogging and everyone

THE WATER EXERCISE

A puddle of water on a smooth non absorbent surface
Look at the puddle for awhile
then begin play to with it
without any particular commitment or objective
make design that means absolutely nothing
 
I've seen people do this
children
adults
sometimes by themselves
sometimes with company and conversation
lost in intent somewhere
all through out
or intermittently

I find myself doing this sometimes.. once unaware
tracing droplets of water that has puddled
sometimes on my dinning table,
sometimes with raindrops on the window pane
or on the car hood
until i read it upon a book saying that it is an exercise
more meant to awaken the Intuition

It is from the Book entitled The Pilgrimage by Paolo Coelho
it also says that...

Don't look for practical results from this exercise
it is simply calling up your intuition little by little
when this intuition begins to manifest itself at other times of the day,
always trust it

Perhaps..
we are never alone in our purpose and intent
and we have to trust that we are always guided
We can never really see the WHOLE picture in one glance
but we can glean to it
by striving and giving our best everyday

The ART OF DRINKING WATER

How was it supposed to be?

8 glasses of water a day, right?

To some,  this requirement makes them feel like drowning. 

To some it is not enough.

There is actually  manner of Drinking Water..

And it is Simple.

Your Body Weight divided by 2= the number of Ounces you should drink everyday

Example      120 pounds  2 =  60

                        60 ounces of WATER a day is your body's water requirement

                       at most 4 ounces Glass of Water every hour

I don't think Children would mind drinking water if its this way

When we Drink Water in this manner,  we not only Hydrate your cells properly

but  we allow the water to cleanse our cells as well

It helps eliminate the unnecessary and un-needed Salts stored in our fat and muscle cells.

If we drink more at once, it is not much good, because the water simply just passes through our body without cleansing it

When Training or working -out.. drink as much as you require

but on any other hour

on top of the hour

please.. drink just 4 ounces of Water.

Your Body will Thank you.

Organic Thought Alert!
 

• 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated
  
• 37% of Americans have Thirst Mechanisms that is so weak, it is often mistaken for Hunger
• Even Mild Dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%
• One glass of water shuts down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in the University Of Washington
• Lack of Water is the #1 trigger of daytime Fatigue
• A mere drop of 2% in "body water" can trigger fuzzy, short term memory, basic math, and difficulty in focusing on the computer screen or a printed page

Organic Thoughts:
Water is considered as the most essential element
 It is Life sustaining.
Just as the Earth is 70% water..
All Creatures are made up with the almost the same proportion.
All chemical reactions in plants and animals that support Life takes place in a water medium.

Copious amounts of water organize in multiple layers in the surface of intracellular structural proteins, cellular membranes and DNA. 
It is sad that other "drinks" have taken to substitute our need to drink water.
It is very basic
Water is a Gift and a Blessing
and very, very essential to our Wellness

Have a Break.. Drink Water

In Baguio, Philippines , Eve's Garden is known for its Organic Farm  Produces and  the Restaurant.  But there is one more element that adds to what it is..

but first a story...

Once upon a time there was a man named Dr. Carey Reams.  He was an agricultural bio-chemist who worked wonders with the soil. He helped golf owners who had turf trouble and he helped Farmers with crop problems.

 Dr. Reams had a friend whose daughter was dying.  The friend, believing that that if Dr. Reams  could do wonders for soil, plants and crops, that he should be able to help his young child. He persisted the doctor and wouldn’t take “no” for an answer. This personal obligation is what drove Dr. Reams to making the transition from soil chemistry analysis to body chemistry analysis.

After years of testing, Dr. Reams determined that urine and saliva provided the best medium for testing his Theory of Biological Ionization. Dr. Reams was the first to suggest that various foods and dietary supplements, especially forms of calcium, were appropriate for bringing balance back to inappropriate urine and saliva chemistry; the result being a higher state of wellness.

Thousands of tests have been conducted since 1975. 

The Biological Immunity Analysis®  or BIA is derived from the work of Dr. Reams. Dr. Reams called his technique, The Reams Theory of Biological Ionization (RTBI). He had adapted a soil and plant testing technique to test urine and saliva  has proven that body chemistry reacts to physical, mental and emotional lifestyle. It helps us determine which foods and dietary supplements, especially which form of calcium, are appropriate for bringing balance back to inappropriate urine and saliva chemistry; the result being a higher state of wellness.

BIA is one of the Services we have and offer in Eve's Garden.
Health and Wellness is the Main Course in Eve's Garden

In Aikido Practise (a Japanese martial art)
when  and one is yet not on the mat and the session has started
and wishes to step in,
the student usually kneels down at the edge of the mat
and waits for the Sensei (teacher) to acknowledge him or her
and when the Sensei does
it is customary and polite to bow
and say Onegaishimasu... meaning "Please..."
"please.. may i..."

I have been out for a few days. 
Have really been unwell.
but My head is not whoozy anymore
my nose not stuffy
my eyes not watery
listened to the audios
read the communications.. the e-mails
I know its CRUNCH time
or at least we're all gearing there
So please allow me to bow respectfully to the group
Onegaishimasu..
Please.. May I?
Thank you..

Organic Considerables is my post over at blogspot.
Please come by

I am aware that the prices of Organic products are rather expensive compared to the others.  I
cannot contest it that much yet but We can be reasonable.
At least I think we are. 
Our here, we sell our Lettuces and vegetables at a flat rate year round. 
So there is no low or peak season for the prices. 
No fluctuation..

Daryll asked me this question  
. I hear that farmers receive some of the soils nutrients through their skin when they have a lot of contact with the soil. Do you know if that's true or not?

The answer is.. Yes.  But not just from contact with the Soil but from the Air and environment itself. 

I'll try to elaborate on that some time.  Thank you for asking.

Meanwhile,

and Well being
To your preference of Raw Food while Dating
To the Joy of Numbers
To Style and Fashion

Its one thing understanding things
and another, communicating them
Please do check it out... will appreciate it
