LearningHerbs.com has just released a beautiful and fun herbal learning set of digital books for children called Herb Fairies—A Magical Tale of Plants and Their Remedies.

Imagine, when you were a child, if you could have been mentored in learning about herbs?  Now your children have the opportunity to learn through storytelling, puzzles, games, coloring pages, recipe cards, a “Magic Keeper’s Journal” and a new adventure book each month for a year!

This opportunity is now available from LearningHerbs.com written by Kimberly Gallagher, the creator of Wildcraft! An Herbal Adventure Game.  It’s only available for just a few days this week.  The next available date will be sometime in mid 2013.

Each month, you will receive a new digital book.  Each book is an adventure story on a new herb fairy that is part of a bigger story. Here’s a description from the author at  LearningHerbs.com:

“Each book has a story of it’s own, but they’re all connected to tell the much bigger story of a time when the plant magic was fading from the world.

A group of kids go on an adventure.

 In each book they meet an herb fairy, such as Stellaria the Chickweed Fairy, Viola the Violet Fairy, Tago the Plantain Fairy and Melissa the Lemon Balm Fairy.

 The kids learn about the plants through their adventures with the fairies, and help heal a Magic Keeper in each book.

 The Magic Keepers are different magic beings, such as trolls, elves, and dwarves.

 The more fairies they meet along the way, the more magic keepers are healed… AND the children get closer to restoring the plant magic to the world.

The books teach your kids key identifying qualities of the plants as well as healing and edible uses through the OLDEST and most effective form of teaching… STORYTELLING.”

Fermenting foods has been a part of food preservation for thousands of years before modern canning and freezing methods became available.  Fermenting foods increases the nutritional value, is easy to do, uses little resources and increases the good bacteria back into your intestinal tract. 

What is Fermentation?

“Fermentation is the transformative action of micro-organisms”, says Sandor Katz in his new Fermentation Workshop with Sandor Katz DVD Trailer video.  Preserving food is the main reason people have fermented food through the ages.  Ways of preserving food have been with acids, alcohol, salt, vinegar, oil, sugar, lactic fermentation, drying and cold storage. 

Sauerkraut, slaw, kefir, kimchi, yogurt, pickles, cheese, meats are a few of the  traditional foods that have long been preserved by these methods by traditional cultures worldwide.

As explained in the video and the books:  Fermentation changes food by

• Pre-digestion: the fermentation process breaks the food down in a pre-digested form before it enters our bodies
• Increasing nutritional content of food:  Fermented foods have higher levels of B vitamins than raw foods

Fermentation of foods is an essential method of food preservation to learn if you are homesteading and learning self-sufficiency.  Check out the video trailer and the books Wild Fermentation by Sandor Katz and  Preserving Food without Freezing or Canning by The Gardeners and Farmers of Centre Terre Vivante below to learn how to preserve food through fermentation.

Have you ever wanted to start your own seeds?  Seed-starting is easy and fun and you can make your own paper pots to start them in!  Recycling newspapers to make seed pots will use up that pile of newspapers you’ve saved and they will decompose in the ground when you plant your new seedlings, adding compost into your soil.

Many seedlings transfer well from their first pot and going directly into the soil.  But there are some like squashes and watermelons that don’t like their roots disturbed, so growing them in a paper pot and transferring the seedling, pot and all, is less traumatic for them.

Paper pots are easy to make and within a few minutes you will have a full flat made up ready to plant your first seeds!

How to Make Paper Pots Out of Newspaper

Materials needed:

Newspaper

Tin can (soup can, tomato paste can…) the size of can determines the size of pot

• Cut one page off from a section of newspaper
• Fold the page in thirds, lengthwise
• Cut the thirds into 3 long strips—this is enough to make 3 pots

To make the paper pot:

• Lay the tin can at one end of the paper strip, leaving an inch of paper not covered by the can  
• Wrap the end of the strip around the can, and roll up towards the top
• When its rolled up, hold onto the side seam as you fold the ends on the top of the can inward
• Place the top end with the folded edges down on the table and press hard to crease the paper into place
• Slide the can out of the paper pot
• Fold the top edge to the inside to secure the side seam
• Now you have your paper pot!

Starting Seeds

• Fill the paper pots with soil
• Plant the seeds in the pots
• Place the pots in a plastic tray
• Do not water the pots… pour water in the tray (about ½ inch deep), and the water will soak into the paper pots

Plantings the Seedlings

• Dig a hole the size of the paper pot
• Place the pot in the ground
• Cover with dirt.  Be sure to cover the top of the paper pot so water does not evaporate from the pot.  Make sure all paper is covered.

Good luck on a new season of gardening!

What is a green smoothie?  Green smoothies are becoming more popular as people discover how easy they are to make and how much nutrition they can get from drinking a smoothie rather than struggling to get in all the required fruits and vegetables during a day.  Green smoothies are a combination of leafy greens blended with fruit for a delicious and nutrient packed breakfast or snack.  And yes, the ‘green’ is from the leafy greens such as baby spinach, turnip greens, romaine lettuce and other assorted leafy greens. 

I know what you are thinking, if you haven’t tried them yet—Ewww!  It was several months before I tried them myself.  And I will tell you, I now love them.  Like most people, I have a hard time getting in all the vegetables and fruits I’m supposed to eat in a day.  Now though, it’s not a problem at all!  Blending them together, I can get more nutrition into my diet, than if I just tried to eat the required servings a day.  And, blending bananas and other fruits in the mixture masks the taste of the greens. 

How to Make Green Smoothie

To make a green smoothie, you just need a quality blender, fruits and leafy greens.  There are many recipes in Green Smoothie books for you to experiment with.  Do not use a cheap blender, but you don’t have to have the most expensive one either.  It just needs to have a good quality motor to chop the leaves very fine in the smoothie recipe.  Here’s the recipe I started with, it’s yummy and simple to start with.  Plus, the baby spinach is one of the milder leaves to start with.

Orange, Banana, Strawberry and Spinach Green Smoothie

2 cups baby spinach leaves

1 naval orange

1 banana

Handful of frozen strawberries

½  cup or more water, green tea or herbal infusion, coconut water, raw milk etc

Pour the water, green tea, herbal infusion or other liquid into the blender.  Drop in the spinach leaves, orange, banana and frozen strawberries.   Use the ‘Pulse’ setting a few times to start chopping the greens and then blend on high until all the fruits and leaves are blended.  You can add more liquid if needed or wanted.

Be sure and rotate your fruits and greens every week or so to get a variety and balanced nutrition.  If you have low thyroid issues, be sure to add kelp and other iodine rich foods in your other meals throughout the day. 

Your imagination and taste buds are the way to go when creating your own smoothies.  Explore different combinations to discover exciting new flavors so your smoothie routine never becomes dull.  After you feel the health benefits in your body, you will crave these green smoothies every day.

Basic Green Smoothie Ingredients:

• Greens and vegetables:  rotate your greens!  Spinach, Romaine lettuce, turnip greens, beet greens, beets, mustard greens, collard, kale, sea vegetables, parsley, celery…
• Fruit:  bananas, oranges, pears, peaches, apples, grapes, berries…
• Frozen fruit:  bananas, strawberries, peaches…
• Liquid:  water, coconut water, herbal infusions, herbal teas, milks…
• Herbs and spices:  sage, lavender, dandelion, nettles, violet leaves, cayenne, turmeric, cinnamon, ginger..
• Probiotics:  yogurt, kefir, kombucha..
• Fat:  coconut oil, cream, nut butters, ghee, avocado…
• Protein:  nuts, seeds, pastured eggs, nut butter, sprouts, liver…

If you need a sweetener, you can add a little raw honey or maple syrup, but I have found the fruit provides plenty of sweetness to the smoothie.

Qigong for Cleansing is a body cleansing qigong exercise routine that, once learned, can be done in about 8-10 minutes to detoxify your body and give you energy.  Without using supplements, special dieting or fasting, qigong flushes out toxins stored in your body as it strengthens every organ and all the cells in your body.

Qigong instructors, Francesco and Daisy Lee-Garripoli guide you through each movement, step by step, showing you how to breathe deeply into the movements and use creative visualization techniques to:

• Circulate Qi—the life force energy that rejuvenates your whole body
• Revitalize key organs—a movement that strengthens each organ (lung, heart, liver, stomach, intestines, kidneys and gall bladder) as it removes toxins
• Soothe the nervous system—the movements induce the nervous system to release feel-good chemicals instead of the stress hormones
• Restore mental clarity—the movements harmonize the right and left brain
• Eliminate anxiety—by balancing your energy through these cleansing movements, you will feel centered and balanced, and you can use these movements anywhere, anytime

Qigong for Cleansing, filmed in the Rocky Mountains, is set against a beautiful alpine meadow with a beautiful, yet simple guitar melody that makes it easy to relax and enjoy the movements.  Once learned, you can do the routine in only 10 minutes, detoxify your body, and be ready for the day ahead.

The Martin Luther King Middle School in Berkeley, California has a program inspired by Alice Waters to teach students how to grow their own food.  It’s an edible school yard on a one acre garden. 

This program teaches students how to grow their own food, tend to it, harvest it, and then prepare it in the Schoolyard Kitchen.  They grow their own vegetables, fruits, fruit trees, herbs, chickens, worms, harvest rainwater, and make their own compost using sustainable methods all on one acre.  They are even learning advanced gardening techniques like cover crops.  They also have their own green house, and learn the valuable knowledge of plant propagation. 

The program follows Alice Waters’ philosophy:

• Eat seasonally
• Eat locally and sustainably
• Shop at farmers’ markets
• Plant a garden
• Conserve, compost, and recycle
• Cook simply, engaging the all your senses
• Set the table with care and respect
• Eat together
• Food is precious
• Cook together
• Include your family and friends, especially children, sharing the hands on experience of gardening
• Cooking teaches children the value and pleasure of good food

Watch this video to learn how this program was started and how it is teaching children where their food comes from, a much needed program in today’s society where children have been raised to think their food comes from supermarkets.

I am posting this opportunity for a free distant qigong energy healing that is coming up for January 29, 2012 from QigongHealingEnergy.com  Here is the information on what to do and how it works.  Please share this with as many of your friends as you can, you never know who will be interested and who will benefit from this healing.  Thank you.  ~ ~ ~ shanna ohmes 

From QigongHealingEnergy.com

I’m doing another no cost distant energy healing for everyone who wants to join and all their friends, families and anyone else who reads this. The main healing session is SUNDAY JANUARY 29, 2012 from 5-6pm Pacific Standard Time or same as Los Angeles, (6-7pm MST), (7-8 CST), (8-9pm EST-same as New York). 

You can join this fr’ee distant energy healing session by using your intention to be included. If you wish to join, just close your eyes for a minute when you read this and mentally say that you intend to join the session and want to be included. That is all you have to do to connect with the energy and you don’t have to do anything else. Healing energy can begin to flow to you once you do this as many people who have done this before have reported. There will be unscheduled daily energy adjustments leading up to the main session. You can receive a lot of healing energy before the main session on Jan. 29.

You can include other people by following the instructions later in this newsletter. For those in other countries you can search for a World Time Clock to convert the time; http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/  Use Los Angeles as the originating city. You can also use this to convert other US cities.   

For those who want to know more about this work you can read my website http://www.qigongenergyhealing.com/ . I was the past Secretary of the International Tibetan Qigong Association and found I had a gift for distant energy healing after recovering from a serious spinal cord injury. 

This is not a telephone or Internet session. All you do is just relax and sit or lie down during the session and notice what is happening in your body. Even if you are busy you can still get good results. Because there will be many people in the session, I please ask that you don’t email to join. I wouldn’t be able to handle all the email unless it’s done this way. You join simply by using your intention after reading this email. Also because this is a big group I won’t be able to answer questions before the session and you’ll get the details you need in this email. Please feel free to email your experiences afterwards.   

Besides the main healing session there will be daily unscheduled energy adjustments leading up to JAN. 29 for those who intend to join before the main session. You can begin to notice effects of the energy adjustments soon after intending to join. Sensitive people can feel the effects of this adjustment period strongly before the main session. Here are comments from people who felt the energy working soon after intending to join.
M, “This is my first experience with this type of healing and I was skeptical. I am sensitive & from the time I joined I have felt this flow of energy and coolness. It’s quite interesting.”  

Hi, “just the minute i intended to take part, while reading the e-mail, i could feel the energy! i felt waves and waves of energy.  thanks so much for sharing this blessing with us!”  anna  

“I just joined for the session and soon I started to feel tingling sensations in my upper arms and legs. And when I set back in the chair, it encompassed my entire body.”  Linda

Michael, “Shortly after I signed up, I started to feel some tingling sensation around my feet. The vibration got stronger and started to work its way up into my ankles, calves and thighs. And now 24 hours later, I’m still feeling the effects of it. If this is what you call unscheduled intermittent adjustments WOW. I can’t wait for the main session to start. Thank you very much”  Verna

This is not a telephone or Internet session.  To receive the energy you just sit or lie down and relax on SUNDAY JAN. 29 from 5-6 PM Pacific Time-same as Los Angeles (PST) or 8-9pm New York Time (EST) and receive the energy. Even if you have to be active during the session you can still receive great results.

The energy works on many levels, physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Even though it’s a group healing, the energy works with everyone individually. The energy is intelligent and knows best how to work with your energy system. The energy infuses light and energy into your energy field and can help clear and balance the acupuncture meridians, chakras and other energy channels. The energy won’t weaken with a large group and can even get stronger with more people. Distance isn’t a problem and you can receive this energy anywhere in the world.

I ask for your help and please forward this to anyone you think may be interested.  Anyone can join even if they haven’t done this work before. You can post this wherever you think it would be helpful, message boards, blogs, Facebook and other social websites, chat rooms, Twitter, etc.. It’s better to copy and paste this email into another email rather than forward this email because others can unsubscribe from this newsletter for you if they receive this original email. You can also just give them this blog url.   http://qigongenergyhealing.blogspot.com/

You can help many people by forwarding this email.  Because we are in a time of major transformation predicted by many different ancient cultures, it is easier than ever to transform negative beliefs and energy patterns. 

Many spiritual traditions teach that we are all connected and now some Quantum Physicists are saying the same thing. These ancient teachings often mention the most important thing we can do is help others. When we help others we are also helping ourselves because we are all connected.

In Chaos Theory there is a term called the butterfly effect. This term is used to suggest that small actions or variations in a system can affect giant and complex systems. It suggests that possibly a butterfly flapping it’s wings in one part of the world over time could create a tornado in another part of the world or change its direction. If you send this email to others we don’t know how it will affect the bigger picture. You could send it to your friends and they could send it to their friends and it could affect hundreds of people or many people could read it on a blog, message board, other social media site etc..   

Once someone has received energy from the free session I’ll be able to send energy to them if they’re in a disaster area to help them get through difficult times. I’m only a conduit for the energy and not the source and give all credit to the Divine, Universe, Spirit or whatever term one wants to use. The energy helps people to adjust their energy field so they can heal themselves. I believe all healing is self healing. I’m very grateful for this gift and happy to share it. 

I liken this to the transmitting antenna of a radio station. I’m not the source of the energy and just the conduit for the universal energy and frequencies. When you use your intention to join the session it is like a radio tuning into a radio station.  When you post and email this to your friends then you are transmitting the healing energy to them. We will all be broadcasting healing energy to many thousands of people all around the planet. Letting others know can help enhance your session. 

A few other people wrote these comments after sessions. 
Maureen Moss is the Executive Producer and host of World Puja Network, which is one of the oldest and largest holistic global Internet programs. She is the author of several books and wrote this about Michael’s work;  “The power of his work has continuously astounded me and shifted me!  Michael Mohoric is one of the best energy healers I have ever had the pleasure of working with in my life…  Michael is a Master Conductor of Energy!”
Sandy Johnson is the author of  “Mystics & Healers, Travels Into The World of Mystics, Shamans, & Miracle Makers”, a book about healers with unusual abilities including John of God.  She wrote about this energy work after the book was published;  “Even with all my exposure to healers of all types, this work leaves me amazed.”   

Ingrid Bacci has authored best-selling books, CD’s and DVD’s on self-healing and is a respected healer.  She is a former professor and graduate of Harvard and Columbia Universities. Ingrid wrote the following about this work. 
Hello Michael:  “I want to thank you from my heart for the session Wednesday, the first I have experienced with you. As a ‘healer’, or facilitator of energy flow from the Universe, I recognized immediately the purity and effectiveness of your work. Before the session started, on Wednesday morning, I could feel some old emotional toxins come up and then clear. During the session itself, I felt first some ‘kriya’ spasms, then very strong images of gushing blue water, and then felt the energy working to open up my entire cranium and rebalance me at a deeper level in that area. I am well aware that the more ‘open’ our system, the more energy we can both receive and transmit, and your work felt truly profound. I also found the work very ‘instructive’ in the sense of guiding me to where I need to work within myself to receive at deeper levels, and a higher energy for helping others heal. Feel free to share these comments if you like. I look forward to working together more with you. Blessings, light, and many thanks,”  Ingrid Bacci

You can print this out and mail it to friends who don’t have email to join the session.  You can also read this to people over the phone if they don’t have email and they’ll get the energy when they use their intention to join. 

For those in foreign countries you can translate this into your native language and send it to your friends to include them. Just try and stay as close and true as you can to the meaning of this email. This could be a great service to your countrymen. You can leave out the testimonials in your translation and just copy and paste the first sentence of this newsletter to the bottom of your translation.
How to Include Others  

If you want to include other family members living at home in the session then just write their names on a piece of paper and put “Energy Healing” at the top of the page. Leave the paper out in the open on a counter or desk. Please don’t send me their names in an additional email. You should get other adult’s permission to be included (don’t tell me). You don’t need to get your children’s permission. Anyone else outside your home will have to join by reading this email and using their intention to join. You can also include your pets by putting their names on the paper.  Animals love the energy and respond very positively.

This is not a phone session. You can be anywhere and receive the energy. Your intent to join is the connection. You could be in your car or on a plane and still receive the energy. It’s best to try and be quiet during the session on SUN. JAN. 29  and just notice what is happening in your body. You can sit or lie down. You can still be active and get good results during the session but optimal results are obtained by being quiet during the session. It is ok to sleep during the session.  It’s helpful to not bathe right after the session, wait until the next morning. Try to avoid cold drinks the night of the main session & the next day. It is also good to take it easy the next day after the session and if you exercise do it very moderately.  It is best to use the energy for healing and not for a lot of activity.  The energy can continue to work in your body several days or more after the session and some people can continue to see changes weeks after the session. 

I like to hear from people afterwards. Please feel free to email me your experience. 
If you are not on my email list and would like to receive notices about other free sessions and my monthly newsletter then you can sign up through my website.  http://www.QigongEnergyHealing.com

You don’t have to be on my email list to receive the energy. I send monthly notices when I start new monthly programs and you will receive notices of future free sessions.

If after the session you would like to do more intensive work with me then you can sign up through my website.  I offer a monthly healing program for $99.  

There is no set time for the unscheduled adjustments before the main session on JAN. 29 and you can receive this energy at any time. The unscheduled adjustments before the session can be a very powerful time. You may notice many things before, during and after the session.  Some people may feel peaceful, energized, centered, balanced and sleep better.  Others may be more emotional, restless and lethargic as they detoxify, which is very good. There can be a lot of purification happening on many levels during this time, emotional, mental and physical.    

Before and during the session people can feel different energy sensations working in their body.  Some of these feelings can be tingling, electrical, vibrating, heat, coolness, cold, pressure, lightness and other things. If you feel very cold then this is a sign that old negative energy is leaving your system. Try to stay warm if you feel very cold. 

It is ok if you have to be active during the session. Many people have to work or take care of their families during this time. It can still be very beneficial if you aren’t able to be quiet. It reduces the effects some but it can still be very effective.  You can also sleep during the session. Sleeping is good way to receive the energy because you are very relaxed. 

Try not to work on anything during the session, just be receptive and let the energy do its work. The energy knows where to work where it is most needed in your system. Thousands of people have done this and I get many reports from surprised people when the energy often finds their blockages even though they haven’t told me their symptoms.

Usually a great majority of people have very positive results. Some people are more sensitive and can feel a lot of energy moving in their body. Others may not feel the energy but will notice good effects. After the sessions people can feel calm, centered, energized and balanced. They can also feel their pain greatly reduced or eliminated. Like any modality this won’t work for everyone but most people see significant results. 

Don’t worry if you feel odd pains come and go leading up to the main session. This is good. As the energy clears the blockage in an area it can result in temporary pain.  Also people can feel extra emotional during this time, which is also very good. From a Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medical perspective much dis-ease is caused by emotional repression.  The energy from these repressed emotions get stored in the organs and tissues of the body. The energy from the sessions can help to release these stored emotions. When we release repressed emotions then we can bring about deep healing. It takes a lot of energy to hold down the emotions and when they are released we can have much more energy available to us.        

Sometimes people can have very beautiful and peaceful dreams during the sessions. Others can have some strange dreams. This is also beneficial. The sessions can help people to release old negative energy. The energy works like a virus detection program on a computer and can remove and cancel negative energy patterns, beliefs and programming. Some people will notice some of their old negative ways of thinking will simply be gone and sometimes addictions fall away. Don’t worry if you have scary dreams during the sessions. As one releases old repressed fear out of their energy field then the mind can give it a symbol. The symbols and fear are coming from your own mind. The energy work isn’t causing anything, only helping to release old energy and emotions.     

The energy helps to purify, cleanse and detoxify the body and mind.  As the energy works through the energy blockages it can cause toxins to be released that are stored in the area. Some people may feel achy or tired at times leading up to the session. This is good and very, very helpful in the healing process. Feeling unusually tired is a sign that the body is using a lot of energy for healing.  Many modalities recognize the positive effects from detoxification. You may also find that you have to go to the bathroom more as you release toxins. During the purification process your organs of elimination will be energetically supported to help them release the toxins.  I have done this process with thousands of people and the energy always works for people’s highest good. If you don’t feel good some of the time, try and hold the thought that you are healing. 

The time leading up to and a little while after the main energy session can be a little bit like a roller coaster ride.  You can feel very energized one day and then tired the next day as you release more toxins.  Just realize that every time you don’t feel good that it is a powerful time for healing and that you are raising the vibration of your energy system. It is good to stay hydrated and drink extra water (warm not cold) during this time.

I am very grateful for this opportunity to work with everyone.
