Some decisions are small and others can be one of the most important and pivotal decisions you could ever have to make.  Here is a method that helps me.  I refer to it as the “Full Body YES!”

I hope you take full benefit from them.

Procedure:
Metal should never touch the culture.  Avoid contamination, make sure your utensils and work area are scrupulously clean.  Never make ingredient substitutions.  White sugar is essential for its survival.  (I use organic raw sugar)
Tobacco smoke will kill your kombucha.
After using one kombucha “mushroom” for some time, environmental stresses may affect the organism, causing the tea to taste flat.  When this happens, use green tea, rather than black, to make the growing medium, and use the tea from a “livelier” fungus until the old one is restored.
To make the tea, you will need:

1.    Place the water in the glass or enamel pot over high heat.  (do not use aluminum pot).  Add sugar, and boil for 5 minutes.
2.    Remove the pot from heat.  Add the tea bags to the pot, and steep for 10 minutes.  Wash your hands, and remove and discard the tea bags.
3.    Pour the tea into the glass bowl (do not use crystal, metal ceramic or plastic), and allow it to reach room temperature.  Add the harvested kombucha tea or vinegar.
4.    Place the mushroom smooth side up in the “growing” tea.  Cover the bowl with the cheesecloth, and secure the cloth with rubber band.
5.    Place the bowl in a dark, quiet, ventilated place with temperature between 70F and 90F. (A shelf in the kitchen is an ideal place.) Allow the bowl to remain there for 7 to 10 days.  Do not refrigerate.
6.    After 7-10 days, remove the “mushrooms” with a wooden or plastic spoon.  Note that a “baby” kombucha is now growing on top of the original kombucha.  Separate the baby from the mother by gently pulling them apart with clean hands.
7.    Using the cloth as a strainer, pour the new tea from the bowl into a glass bottle, leaving some space at the top of the bottle.  (Do not store the tea in plastic, as chemicals can leach out of the container into the tea.)  Store in the refrigerator, drink 4oz 3x day, before or after meals.  (Do not drink more then recommended amount.)  Use the 2 “mushrooms” and part of the newly harvested tea to make more tea.

Kombucha is part lichen, part bacterium, xylinum, and part natural yeast culture.  When placed in a mixture of ordinary sugar and tea for 7-10 days, the kombucha produces both a winey tasting health restoring tea and a new ‘baby’ kombucha.

Wash and trim the okra, taking care to not cut the stem too close to the neck, since that will release too much of the stickiness.
In a 5 cup open mouth glass jar with tight-fitting lid, combine okra and salt.  In a saucepan  bring vinegar and peppercorns to a rolling boil; pour over okra.  Add the chile peppers and ginger.  Keep okra completely covered in the vinegar by weighing down with a small saucer or plate.  Cover with vented plastic wrap and let cool to room temperature.

Cover with lid and chill for 24 hours before serving.

Crust
3c shredded coconut
4-6oz dates
pinch salt
¼ tsp. vanilla

Blend in cuisinart.  Add more dates if necessary until it can hold together when pressed in pan.  (oil pan with coconut oil 1st)

Filling
3 c. coconut milk
1 c coconut meat
¾ c dates
pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla

Blend in vitamix of good blender until very smooth and slightly warm to touch.  Add 3 Tablespoons non gmo soy lecithin or sunflower lecithin, ¾ cup virgin coconut oil (liquid…if its hard in jar put in double broiler & heat slightly until melted)

Once warm or smooth, add lecithin and oil and blend until smooth again pour into crust and refrigerate until firm.  You can add lilikoi (passion fruit) or other ymmies to fancy or spice it up. (cacao for a chocolate cream pie)

Then something happens or someone says something to you and your whole world seems different. Have you noticed that the exact same situation, same people, same food can appear completely different depending on how YOU are?
It was YOU who changed and not the world.   Sometimes it is as easy as a change in perspective.  Sometimes it is a little more work.  The main point is that you see the world from where YOU are. The world is a reflection of your own inner state of consciousness.

I have been watching my own awareness and conscious for sometime now.  Recently, it has included studies from some works of David R. Hawkins, author of Truth vs. Falsehood and others.  He uses kinesiology to determine consciousness calibration levels. More specifically consciousness levels of truth.  Ratings from very low emotional states of being to Enlightened Spiritual leaders are included.   His works have brought insight to my thought patterns.  What exactly is it that brings my consciousness up or down?  This is important to me because I have decided that being happy is a choice.

The happier you are, the happier others around you seem  and the easier life is. The happier you become, the healthier you are and the younger you look.  It has a chain effect. So where to begin?  The trick is to change the thought patterns that bring us out of happiness or keep our natural state of happiness at bay.  For this purpose, I sum David Hawkins research into two fundamental questions; What is in truth and what is below truth?  When you realize what things (people, places, things, music etc) are below truth or calibrating below 200 (on a scale from 0-1000), you can avoid them.  Based on David Hawkins research, your percentage of happiness correlates to your average level of consciousness.  Those whose consciousness is above 200 experience at least 60% happiness.  Those below 200 experience 15% or less happiness.  It is quite a jump!

You all heard the old adage, “you are what you eat”.  I’d like to refine that in saying ‘you are what you consume’.  Anything that even touches the subconscious mind will have an effect on your state of being and how you see the world.   This becomes very evident if you remember your dreams.  For me, at my early morning hour meditation, I am bombarded with thoughts from the previous evening.  If I watched a low vibration movie, I might not even want to get out of bed!  Movies, music, television, computers, art, books, our diet, friends, co-workers, the work we do, everything has an effect on our consciousness.

As an example. let’s look at the vibration of ‘our daily bread’.  Food = 200; Blessed Homemade Food = 215, Commercial Machine made Food=188-200;  You can see that the differences can be very subtle but when it is on the line of 200, it can result in a greater influence.  Have you ever noticed how a cup of coffee can alter a persons state of consciousness dramatically?  You might say that coffee is a drug.  It still then points to an altered state and usually with a lowering effect even if at first it seems to be positive.  Okay, a little less obvious may be the effect of wheat or dairy in the diet or even garlic and onions.  If have never tried eliminating one of these from your diet, you may not really know the effect it is having on your being.

The main thing is to know what level of consciousness you operate from and what influences exist in your life. If you are surrounded with positive and empowering influences, then you will be able to move in that direction. If your life is plagued with negative influences, then what kind of life will you be living?

Find this out for yourself, because you are what you consume!

2009 feels like it will be a good year as I am filled with enthusiasm and new ideas and inspiration.  I hope you will continue to join me in creating greater health, wealth and overall success.

Sending you all love from my heart and blessings of peace for 2009 and beyond.
