The jar is creosote infusing into jojoba oil to use for a salve

I imagine it would get tricky with humidity.. maybe it could work if your tomatoes are really small and only out in the hottest part of the day. Living in the desert made it easy and they turned out sooo good

Sun-dried tomatoes and an herbal infusion in the making. Thank you, Sun ☀️

Half of you may unfollow me for saying this...

🤷 Here it goes....

Everything is a energy and vibration. And all is mental on this plane.

And when it comes to what we eat, dead animal is quite low on the scale, in terms of vibration. Down there with processed stuff that we all know is junk. The worse the animal was treated, the worse the food the will yield.

All the macros stuff you have been led to believe is nonsense. It's made up, more fiat science.

Consider there are many fist scientists shilling many ways to live. And new trends every year.

The only way to find truth is to go within. No one can tell you what is right for you.

Our higher connection to what we consume is the one we form ourselves using our own intuition and feelimg our bodies. Not the ones we are told is right by an outside source.

I was on the "carnivore diet" for about a year back in 2020. It was great for me at the time. It helped me lose a lot of weight I was caring. Like cleans like.

I have eaten many ways - many types of fasting, raw, vegan, meat only, etc.

I went through a transformation

Now I eat what feels right and I aim to raise my vibration

And meat isn't it.

I don't expect for you to take my word for it. But maybe I can get at least one of you to take a look at consumption through a different lense.

Food is a journey. And I am not saying what is right for you or anyone else. I have no idea what is best for you. I am saying...

Its all a energy and vibration. When we are tapped in, we can feel this all on our own.

Nikola Tesla is someone worth checking out. He said-

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."

And I think he was on to something..

Just my 2 sats. If these ideas sound interesting to you I am happy to talk more about it. Reach out.

Vegetarianism/veganism aren’t a fad diet. At least not for everyone. Look at how many people choose to avoid meat for religious purposes - Hindus, Buddhists, Jains, Rastafari…

I’m not saying this is the path for everyone, but when this many people choose to cut out meat for spiritual reasons there must be something behind it.

Of course this is also my personal experience. Meat is denser. A vegetarian diet is more attuned to spiritual elevation. That is the vibration I feel, as you said in your post

The oldest creosote bush colony dates back 11,700 years. To me, this plant is the epitome of resilience and healing that the Sonoran Desert embodies.

The leaves and stems can be used to treat burns, cuts, and snakebites, pain and inflammation, fevers, respiratory problems, digestive issues, and have cancer fighting properties.

I feel blessed to live surrounded by this bush. After a rainfall, the air is filled with the smell of creosote bushes. It is always a reminder to me that the desert will survive the drought and a season always comes where life will thrive again.

“By cultivating an attitude of friendliness toward those who are happy, compassion toward those who are sorrowful, joy toward virtuous deeds, and equanimity toward wrong-doing, the mind will become purified and peaceful.”

I’ve been meaning to make a video on this topic because it’s such a common problem! Sorry to hear you’re in pain

I can recommend some poses that I’ve found to help though, and make a nice sequence:

-Utthita and Parivritta Parsvakonasana

-Bhujangasana followed by Shalabasana

-Anantasana

-Ardha Matsyendrasana

-Jatara Parivartanasana

A couple weeks left before the 11-11 New Moon. Here in southern Arizona we will be spending the weekend retreating into the silence and darkness of the desert nights 💚

“Every human being is the author of his own health or disease. Disease is the result of disobedience to the immutable laws of health that govern life. The laws of health are the laws of nature.”

- Swami Sivananda

It is. This beautiful hill is covered with them :)

“Smaraṇa: remembering, a feeling of fearlessness after realising me to be all-pervading”

For me, this comes when I touch the earth and sit in silence so I may tune into the life around me. The practices of yoga are available for to us all to speak to God in our way
