I must try this! I love pistachio. The gellato I spoke of also comes in pistachio. Yum.

There are limitless taco filling adventures to be had in this world. On a side note, I just purchased some ghee. It is from the brand purity farms. It does not say from grass fed cows, but it is organic, pasture raised, lactose and casein free. The previous ghee I had was from a very nice fellow that has an Indian supermarket just outside of boulder, Colorado. He knew the source for it and it is the source he uses. I hope that this ghee is at least near the quality. Edit: Mexican food is definitely my comfort food. I try to rarely eat it, though. The comfort food that I normally indulge in is coconut covered dates. It used to be nut butters on anything. I just had some butter pecan gellato a few days ago. That was too decadent.

Turtle, Thank you. 8>]. When you say dissolve the honey in water, do you mean simply mix and stir? If it is heated, it will hurt the enzyme content. Ghee is great. At times, I have used too much in the past. I have been practicing much better moderation and am giving it another go. How long would you say to wait after the teaspoon of ghee? Bagua, Does league come highly recommended? I'm going vegetarian again, but there is a perfect Mexican place with friendly people and traditional food. Lengua is an option there. I don't know if I can do it. I imagine they are quite fatty and therefore high in flavor.

I have been craving honey lately. Then, the idea of mixing nitwits ghee or coconut oil in some fashion sounded amazing. But, I hear this is a bad idea and poisonous. Is there a safe way to mix raw, unfiltered honey with any oil or dairy product? Because something inside keeps telling me that can be powerful together.

Why is it necessary to have a recording device or a third party? What if you just spoke it aloud with no recording device? What if you just described it to yourself in your head?

Hello, all. I know suggesting the right book for someone can be hard. It's hard to know who I am and where I stand without knowing me. Well, I am a very spiritual person without trying. It's just how I am. I don't practice any religion. I do meditate. I sort of always just feel my emotions and the state they are in. I can feel emotional storms round me brewing when something is about to happen. I am a very empathetic person. I am an open book and also love learning about people's most intimate issues. I love connecting on the intimate level. I think that's how communication should be. I am a male.vi am a Capricorn. January 9, 1988. I feel as if I am dragged down by people around me, namely rose at work. I sometimes feel that that happens because I worry that it would. I seek to have meaning and truth in every moment of my life. I hate all kinds of injustice. It might be my main focus in life. I realize that most in my area that I interact with are Sleep. I struggle with whether I should wake them up or not. I know that I am also asleep in many regards. I am somewhat aware of a matrix that exists and connects all of us emotionally and telepathically. I find myself feeling sorrow expressed toward it when I go against my gut or let people walk on my rights. I frequently have lucid dreams and sleep paralysis. As a youngster, I had frequent night terrors and sleep walked. I am working on creating something for myself, while also working ona project with my brother that will change our lives. I love art and culture. My confidence as an adult male is just now becoming apparent. I was a late bloomer. Nt that I wasn't good with the opposite sex, I just wasn't living life. I was letting things live it for me. With the occult, I seek the knowledge of how things work, I seek better discipline, I seek a clearer mind, I seek tools that I can use to positively effect the world in the name of unity. I have worries that many books are edited and leave things out. Is this a legitimate worry? I feel I already know the answer and it is "yes." With all that said, thank you very kindly for the time and any help. Do you have any suggestions on readings or practices thati can do? Thak you again with love.

I am a regular kombucha drinker. Does kefir compare in effectiveness? Would one benefit from drinking kombucha sometimes and kefir other times. I drink GT's kombucha. It is the best brand I have found. What is a good brand for kefir? I often see these milkshake looking things in plastic bottles. Intuitively, I never try those.

What is better for one's health, coconut oil or coconut butter?

Hey everyone. I apologize if there is a better sub forum for this topic. I didn't see a health section. I apreciate any and all advice anyone can give me and I will try to return the favor. I will start by saying that I am 25 and i eat a healthy diet. I have been eating a lot of organic eggs lately, maybe too much. Nonetheless, I have been an extremely healthy eater for the past several years. I eat a good amount of nuts, seeds, fruit and vegetables. I am a vegetarian and just recently started to eat eggs. I do some meditation and some gi gong, but not as much as I would like. I work at a job that I do not believe in and takes time away from artistic projects. It involves a lot of standing and biting my tongue. I feel like this exasurbates my problem to a degree on some level. The problem is that my left testicle twists sometimes and causes discomfort. It also raises higher a little easier than the right one. If I cough, the left one goes up a tad higher. The discomfort is slight. But I worry that this takes away from my energy/testosterone. When this occurs, I find myself lower in energy. I don't know if it is the direct physiological effect of the problem or if it is the fact that I am focused on it and worrying about it. I recently went on vacation to a wonderful spot in colorado between Denver and boulder. The people were so great, the energy was so positive and driven. It lifted me high. This problem was hardly apparent there. Really only the first two days. This problem is accompanied by a strange feeling in my left hip/lower abdomen area as well as a little bit under my left rib at times. I also feel a similar feeling in my lower back. My family doctor has said it is a nerve issue with a nerve in my back. First occasion, he said it was sciatica, the second time, he said it was a different nerve. He prescribed me anti-imflammatory medication. I did not get it because I don't like ingesting synthetic medication and I worry that that would just treat the symptoms and not the cause. I don't know if it would actually help heal me. It seems that qigong helps, but I have yet to have a qigong session over 15 minutes. This is something that is apparent in my life and I would love to get over. It makes me feel less powerful at times. I made another Drs appointment for Monday morning. My last one was several months back. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations? Edit: I must add, I have been retaining now for just under 30 days. I don't think I have been moving the energy as well as I should and would really love to know the best way. I have been doing standing qi gong via the "stand still be fit" videos on youtube. I thought that I would be reaping the benefits of such a stint without releasing, but I have only on a few occasions. Second edit: although I eat healthy, I tend to put a little too much focus on food at times. Also, I over eat on occasions ( I regularly have 4 egg omelets and have even had a few 7 egg omelets). If I have some nuts, I tend to eat more than I probably should. With this being said, this problem seems worse when my stomach is full. After I digest it all and get rid of it, it tends to not bother me as much. I don't want to influence anyone's help or advice, but my intuition tells me hat I focus too much on that area with too much focus on sex and eating. But, why would this cause such a feeling that extends from my lower left rib, around to my back and down to the back of my left leg (upper hamstring below left buttock)?

Sometimes the dualities in this world frustrate me.... Like right about now.

Has there been any scientific studies about the vibrational properties of gemstones?

Should one freeze nettles? X-)

Thank you. I will check out that book most definitely. I just got back from my dr. He is quite old and the nurses are sort of ignorant. I felt that communication was very bad there. He prescribed me librox(?[he has bad hand writing]). He wants me to take this before bed and see him again in two weeks. Part of me, a big part, sees pharmaceuticals as poison. Should I do this?

Are those in miso as well? I like miso and find it energizing.

I am a miso supporter. Can I have some help clearing something up? I bought some tempeh from the health food store last week. I started talking to the cashier about fermented soy. She said it is best to avoid all soy, especially for men. I told her that fermented soy is different. It was my belief that fermented soy did not contain the substance that mimics estrogen. She said it does to her knowledge. Well, I looked it up. It seems that it does contain the same phytoestrogens. Does this mean I should avoid foods like miso and tempeh? Is this bad information? If so, what exactly is the difference between soy and fermented soy products like miso and tempeh?

There are so many practices to choose from. I guess I cannot go wrong picking any of them. I cannot currently sit in lotus, though. I want to. I struggle sitting in " Indian style" because it is hard on my right ankle that I had surgery on as a pup.

Thank you, turtleshell. I am unsure if the prescribed medication would help heal it or if it would be a temporary fix. I might take them this time around. I am not masturbating or looking at any pornography. The only sexual activity I have had has been with my girlfriend and that was without ejaculation. That definitely was energizing for both of us and is something I frequently practice, although not much in the past month due to various reasons. I have read on here numerous times about using exercises that burn your sexual energy and ionize it into chi. What are these exercises? Does one just visualize this during meditation or qi gong?

I'm sorry. I was ignorant of the Healing Circle.

Thank you kindly for the advice. I just got them today. I am going to try the first infusion method and pour boiling water over them and leave them sit.

Some more notes: my vans deferens is swollen on the left side as well. Also, I have been lifting to gain strength. It has come to my attention that I should stop in order to aid th healing process. Sometimes, lifting does not bother this problem. Other times, I can feel the discomfort. Oddly, on occasion it fixes the problem. One me note: I smoked marijuana a few months back (never in excess) with my girlfriend and I could feel energy moving up and down my left leg and lower back, causing a pattern of movements in the lower left side of my body. This was very apparent. This happened when I would stand on only my left leg. This occurs sometimes when not in that state, but it is extremely apparent when in that state. To me, this screamed "energy blockage." It was as if thee was a blockage in the left side of my pelvis and the energy was getting shot back down to my leg. Kind of like a game of ping pong only the ping pong ball is energy. I use marijuana rarely, very rarely ( under 20 times in my life, last time was about a month ago, time before that was several months). It has heightened this problem at times and it has soothed it. If the problem wasn't apparent at the time, marijuana would have no effect. When I use/have used it, I take a couple puffs, I never use excess in the practice. Thanks again for the time. It means a lot, truly.

I never get sick. But, I have been feeling weak lately, even with retaining my semen for about two weeks now.

Why are these meat cravings happening?! I already know...years of conditioning and ancestor's conditioning, etc. I feel like I may benefit from eating meat in terms of jing, but I also worry of the guilt.

Spring time brought me meat cravings. They came and went. Now autumn is doing the same thing.

Hmmm, what is a water bath? If I boil some in a pot to make soup, how strong of a boil and how long of a boil would you suggest.

This does help. I will clarify, the former is not my definition of spiritual. i feel that I am constantly in touch with entities. thismis more noticeable in solitude. I just don't do it on purpose usually. I often see things falling together with déjà Vu and great coincidences. At night, I have saw orbs by some process that I have no way to describe. I've done this on command three times. When the orb move into my focal point, I felt a warm, tingly sensation through my nerves. There are many things that occur that I want to learn more about. A teacher would be ideal. A taoist practitioner, a Mystic, etc... I'm not sure. Only because I have never seen anyone as a teacher and don't know what particular teachers teach. What drew me to The Occult? I perceive it as knowledge of "tools" that we all have that have been hidden from us that we can use to find the truth and positively effect the world around us. One thing I would like to change as soon as I can is the effect that others can have on me. I work with many people who operate on a lower level of consciousness. They are such mean spirited people. They are mean to clientele as well as each other. I would love to get to the point where I help them rather than get dragged down by them. I have done it before. Bt, I don't even notice when they get to me sometimes until after the fact. This was disorganized a bit. I apologize for that. I thank you as we'll as everyone who has responded.
