Plant Medicine Documentary Numen

Hey everyone, I came across this message on the Northeast Radical Herbalist listserv. I thought you all would be interested in hearing about this documentary, and might be interested in helping out (one way or another). It looks like an extraordinarily worthwhile and well-done project. So I wanted to do my part to spread the word. Best, Nevada ----------------------------------------------- Begin forwarded message: From: Ann Armbrecht Date: April 14, 2009 10:26:49 PM EDT To: a.armbrecht@gm… Continue

Mandala Intern looking for Earth-Conscious and clear room for August!

Hey everyone, I am in search of a room in an Earth-conscious, clean and clear house to set anchor for next school year (I'm a student at Naropa) beginning in August. It would be great to be able to have a garden and help implement green techniques with others with similar interests. I figured it would be a good idea to ask the Mandala community, and like-minded folks, if anyone knows of anything or a friend looking for a roommate. I'm pretty busy, responsible, clean, laid-back, and love… Continue

Local CSA's

Eating healthy is a core tenet of the Mandala Philosophy and eating local does that in a way that creates a deeper community connection while assuring the freshest food. The CSA movement of Community Supported Agriculture allows for locals to support their regional farms. Here are some of the best: Abbondanza Organic Seeds and Produce Boulder www.eatabbo.org Community Roots Urban Gardens Boulder 303-499-0866 www.communityrootsboulder.com Stone Bridge Farm 5169 Ute Highway Longmont, Co… Continue

The Alchemy of Empowerment: How to navigate your own healing process

“The most powerful form of medicine is to uplift the spirit of the person.” This knowledge has permeated my understanding of the healing process since I first consciously encountered my inner healer in massage school, studying Japanese massage and the fundamentals of Craniosacral therapy. When I first heard this wisdom, passed on from an oriental master healer, my inner spirit responded, “of course!” And yet, this was only the beginning of my journey into the unknown avenues I would be led throu… Continue

CSA SPLIT

Hello!! I am very interested in purchasing a CSA share (Cure farm is sold out, but it looks like Abbondanza farm still has shares available) for this growing season. They are expensive and i would like to split the cost with anyone interested. It may get a little complicated with a bunch of people having small shares of the share... But whatever works. I am looking at a partial share: 500 or a Whole share: 650 (<-- seems like a much better deal!!). Spinach - Lettuce - Asian Greens - Arugula… Continue

Feeling Abundance!

I just returned from a retreat of total luxury in Strawberry Hot Springs, CO. The whole experience was opulence at its best — the quiet mountains and rushing flow of water down the creek; the steamy, mineral-rich water pouring down from the hillside; floating freely through the hot, sulfury pools; breathing in the cool, refreshing mountain air. Three days of complete rest and relaxation - it was pure enjoyment! As I relished in the feeling of abundance in my mountain paradise, what occurred to… Continue

A Cough to Remember

There's no time like the present to write a blog about having a cough and a cold, as I am currently suffering from both! In the past when getting sick, I might have bought medicine over the counter, like Robitussin or something meant to ease/suppress the symptoms. Now I am of the mind that the illness needs to run its course, and get rid of stuff, which is why the cough exists in the first place, trying to protect the body from infection. With my experience over the years receiving acupuncture… Continue

Intuition is Power

The idea behind Commoner Health is a commoner (a non-practitioner) talking about health issues from her own experience so far, as well as the hope to make health more common in the world. In my own personal experience, I have found that a large majority of people leave the fate of their health "to the experts" while ignoring their own instincts and intuitions. The knowledge and wisdom of health practitioners is invaluable, (I do not mean to imply otherwise) but alongside this wisdom, I am seeki… Continue

Myths & Truths About Nutrition

Myth: To avoid heart disease, we should use margarine instead of butter. Truth: Margarine eaters have twice the rate of heart disease as butter eaters. (Nutrition Week 3/22/91 21:12) Myth: Animal fats cause cancer and heart disease.

The Glycemic Index

The Glycemic Index (GI) is a numerical Index that ranks carbohydrates based on their rate of conversion to glucose during digestion. Carbohydrates are ranked on a scale of 0 to 100, as the more rapidly a certain food causes a rise in blood sugar, the high value it is given. 100% glucose serves as a reference point, marking 100 on the GI scale. A higher glycemic index suggests faster rates of digestion and absorption of the sugars and starches in the foods and may also indicate lesser extraction… Continue
