Energy Reading for March

You may uncover some hidden qualities about yourself and the energies provide terrific opportunities for making plans. Just about any plans, from small ones to big important ones. Make the most out of this time because March is set to be the month that holds the strongest of potentials, and with only a follow-up of this kind of energy only a little later in to the year.

Relationships are in focus again however with the turbulent energy flow, these will either thrive or wilt and die. In order to sustain a relationship now it will take a strong bond or connection of some kind, or simply a lot of trying. It's a good time to ask yourself, what you are looking for out of a relationship.

Avoid doing too much this month and spend time at home, change any traveling plans if possible. May is a better time to travel. It's a good time to balance diet and exercise. If you've fallen off the wagon passed few weeks, you can do a lot to help yourself bounce back. Take a look at your day-to-day routine and see where you can make time to start exercising some more.

If you've been eating more takeaway lately, it's a good opportunity to turn things around and make some healthier food choices. More fruits and vegetables would be beneficial now to assist the immune system in-time for the cooler months and help reduce the severity of colds and flu.

If you've been feeling miserable over something (or someone) now is a good time to release your hold. If it feels like an additional task, additional worry, or an annoyance, it may be time to let it go. You have nothing to gain from giving energy to it, even if it may be someone in your family who is draining your energies! Let it go. There are more ways to let situations go than we realise. It may be as easy as changing the way we see the situation.

The energies are favorable for making new friends, great excuse to get a night-out planned for the weekend! Grab a friend and head down to the local water-hole. You never know you else will be there. There are good opportunities to deepen existing bonds between current friendships too.

Routine is the chant of the month. You will find yourself more than usual in situations which will help you to learn and grow through routine.

With love & light, have a wonderful month

Use the hammer not the brush!

If you have the right tools you can do anything and tools is not only something men use in the shed! It can mean anything and in spirituality we like to use this term in encouraging others to find the right tools. Often it is said, "With the right tools you can do it." In this article I'd like to explore just how far you can take this bit of wisdom and even beyond but for the sake of us all, I'm writing in love and in light only so no funny ideas OK!

Remember what I wrote about being the best judge?.. well, I'll allow you to judge and decide whether this article is useful to you or not because it may be or it may not be and that's alright. The purpose of my writing is to expand upon what we believe is possible and what is not; to challenge and to entertain our limits. I know we have them.

It's easy to restrict what we can and can't do after all each morning we wake up and come across restriction, for instance, "Damn, I can't reach that .. if only I was taller." Or, "Bugger I'm so lonely, if only I could find that special someone." Or even, "I wish I knew what made her tick!" Now, remember in love and in light only. Forget any sinister ideas that may come up because they will mislead you. By the way I am trusting all of you are wiser than that so let's continue ...

The easiest way to get ahead is to know ourself well. To understand how gain the ball in your court is to be able to separate what is us from something or someone else and that's then not enough; we need to be able to know how that something or someone else operates or in other words; thinks and feels. If for instance, you know exactly what your Boss wants then you can simply deliver. Yes, this may all seem mundane and you might be thinking where is the punch-line .. this is all gibberish!

This is where the tools come in and as with anything else, you decide what those are. Firstly, to carry out something of this magnitude you will need the first and most important tool; passion. Yes, indeed, if you aren't passionate about it, it simply will not eventuate and secondly, you will need patience and faith. Equally as important. As it is said, you can't hurry love and neither can you walk without learning how to crawl first.

If you want it bad enough you will get it and that's where having the right tools is important. The rewards are also wonderful and there will be times when you'll just have to reel yourself in and let things be. You'll understand that it is important you know how to do this and as with anything else you will be given the opportunity to do so.

So you can get what you want, make all your dreams come true; attract the perfect lover, create wealth and make it grow, be happy and content .. get on your path and stay on it. Gosh you are really jumping out of your seat now!!!

Here's the punch-line .. apply yourself. Be willing to try for what you dream of. If you want to attract the perfect lover, get to know yourself inside out and decide on what you really need out of a partner then look into this further, perhaps read books written on personalities, different people, different desires, etc .. think about what best suits you. If you want to create wealth, don't waste your time in an unsatisfying job and jump right into your career choice. It's the only way you're going to feel good about what you do. If you want to make your money grow similarly, gain more knowledge about how to make money grow and don't be afraid to try. You can have this.

Yes, that's it, if you have the right tools you can do it and here's a helpful tip; be willing to try different things out because odds are the reason it hasn't been working is because you may have been hitting the nail with a paint brush instead of a hammer, so, go get your hammer and don't worry the nail is not going anywhere.

Master yourself and have fun!

Organic Lemon Tarragon roasted chicken Recipe

For the vast majority of human history, agriculture can be described as organic. It's only during the 20th century was a large supply of new synthetic chemicals introduced to the food supply. This more recent style of production is referred to as conventional. A key factor is that organic farming is consistent with sound moral and ethical principles which benefit the environment and welfare of rearing the animals.

Conventional supply of foods and drinks is unfortunately far less beneficial for our health than organic foods and drink, or growing your own in your back yard, simply because organic foods and drinks supply are simple, healthful and close to nature. The basic principle of organic farming is to achieve optimum quantities of produce and food of high nutritional quality without the use of artificial fertilisers or synthetic chemicals. It does not use genetically modified foods, growth promoters or hormones.

Ingredients (serves 4)

1.8kg organic free-range chicken

1 lemon

4 sprigs fresh tarragon

1 bunch large Dutch carrots, trimmed, peeled

4 small parsnips, trimmed, peeled, cut in half lengthways

4 small leeks, trimmed

1kg small chat potatoes

1/4 cup olive oil

Sauce

2 egg yolks

2 tablespoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons fresh tarragon leaves, finely chopped

125g butter, melted

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Rinse the chicken inside and out with cold water and pat dry with paper towel. Using your fingers, gently loosen the skin from the breast to form a pocket. Thinly slice half the lemon. Place 2 tarragon sprigs and 3-4 slices of lemon under the skin on each side of the chicken breast. Season well with freshly ground black pepper and sea salt flakes. Put the remaining lemon half and tarragon sprigs into the chicken cavity. Tie the legs together with kitchen twine and tuck the wings underneath the chicken.

Place the vegetables in a large roasting pan. Add the oil and toss until well coated. Place a wire rack above the vegetables and put the chicken on top. Bake for 1 hour 10 minutes or until cooked through. To check if the chicken is cooked, pierce the thickest part of the thigh with a skewer and if the juices run clear, the chicken is ready.

Meanwhile, prepare the sauce. Place the egg yolks, lemon juice and tarragon into a food processor. Process for 30 seconds or until combined. With the motor running, slowly add the warm melted butter until a thick, creamy sauce forms.

Serve the chicken with the roasted vegetables and sauce. Enjoy!

Health and Lifestyle

Back Pain

The health of your back is affected mainly by how you carry and use your body, but also by diet, digestion and the way you cope with stress. Back pain affects most people at some time in their lives. It has been said, it is a leading cause of disability in Australia and New Zealand. Many natural therapies can be used to provide relief from back pain, even when orthodox therapies fail to help. Did you know? Strong abdominal muscles are essential to maintaining a healthy back and protecting your back from injury.

Back pain may be a slight problem lasting a few days or a serious long lasting disability. Pain can result from any weakness in the back from injury. Carrying heavy objects, exercising without due care, using poor lifting technique, twisting or turning awkwardly – all these can cause damage. Bad posture, lack of exercise, sitting in one position for long periods, pregnancy and being overweight make back pain more likely and may worsen existing pain. Stress is also a major cause of back pain. Less commonly, backache results from a condition unrelated to the back, such as urinary-tract infection.

Your spine contains 33 firmly linked vertebrae. The first 24 are separated by natural shock absorbers consisting of cartilage discs filled with gel. The spine is held together by ligaments (thick bands of fibrous tissue), muscles and the facet joints of each vertebra. Pain can be caused by any part of the complex structure of the back and often back pain results from a combination of factors.

The most important way to prevent back pain is to maintain your back's strength and flexibility with daily exercise. It is also essential to avoid excessive or awkward movements that can cause stress and strain. Gentle massage of the muscles on either side of the spine can often ease pain. Also, you can try The Supine Twist, it can ease back stiffness. (Stop if it causes pain.) Lay on your back. Place your left foot on your right knee, and lower your left knee to the right, twisting from the waist. Rest your right hand on your left thigh. Raise your left arm upwards to the left, palm up, and look towards it. Relax the position for a minute and then repeat on the other side.

When working at a computer for any length of time, be sure that your knees are bent at a 90 degree angle and that you lower back is well supported by a correctly adjusted chair. You would be able to look at the screen without tilting your head. Prolonged bed rest is no longer recommended for back pain. Instead, get up and about as soon as possible and, after checking with your doctor, begin to do a few minutes of gentle exercise each day. Build up a regular exercise routine to strengthen your back and abdominal muscles and to increase your flexibility.

Back Care

Good Sermon!

A man finally goes with his wife to church, after promising her for weeks that he'd go. Surprisingly, the man was so impressed with the preacher's sermon he stopped on the way out to shake his hand.

"Preacher, I'll tell you, that was a damn fine sermon."

The preacher says, "Why thank you sir, but we don't use profanity in the house of the Lord."

The man says, "But preacher, seriously, I'm not a religious man, but that was the best damned sermon I ever heard."

The preacher says again, "Sir, while I appreciate what you're trying to say, I must be blunt: DO NOT use curse words in the Lord's house again."

The man says, "Well, anyway, I was so impressed with your sermon that I placed $5000 dollars in the collection plate".

"No S***?" says the Preacher.
