If you have not yet seen it, do check out the Ghee and Kitchari  Ayurveda workshop!  
If you are wondering what any of these words mean, let me give you a brief rundown.  
Ayurveda basically translates as the "wisdom of long life". It's an ancient holistic practice
that can also be described as "humorism", addressing the 3 doshas (humors) in the body.
These three doshas are known as Vata (wind/movement), Pita (Fire/transformation), and Kapha 
(Water/adhesion).   Ghee is also known as clarified butter.  Butter that has had the elements that 
cause it to go rancid (oxidize) removed from it, giving you all the healthy benefits of butter 
(Forget what commercials have been saying. It is good for you!) without the down side of 
the goop that makes your butter turn brown and stink. Who wants that anyway? Kitchari
 is a vegetarian hot pot meal made with a wholesome, well-cooked (or otherwise soft) grain 
along with other specific types of vegetables that is relaxing to eat and very easy on the 
digestion and supports detoxification.  Consider it an ideal dish for a monodiet fast that 
you will LOVE if you enjoy curry. 


Yes, it also has ghee in it.  It is formulated especially to balance out the doshas and will transport
 you to a state of calm bliss that will also aide in your progress as a yogi.  I invite you to see how 
both ghee and kitchari are made as well as assist a little bit in the process.  Once everything is ready, 
you will find that there will be other special and tasty side dishes with this that we will eat as we 
discuss the Philosophy of Ayurveda.   Bring your appetite!  Although such a meal is normally served between the 
hours of 11:00AM and 12:00PM, the eating probably will not kick off until about 3:25.  The 2:00PM starting time was the only 
option I had for the schedule at Salt, Fire & Time, so EAT A LIGHT LUNCH! ;)  Either way, this will be a delicious opportunity
 to learn and enjoy first hand experience of Ayurveda, the wisdom of long life.

Amazing Unicorn Mist?

I am beginning the initial stages of creating a high-vibration aromatherapeutic product called AUM. This is almost exactly what the label will look like! This gentle, moisture-balancing astringent purifies everything, including your complexion and the air. It also kills mildew, molds and germs! This is Amazing Unicorn Mist! If you spray it into your own face (with your eyes closed), it won't make you break out. In fact it will soothe your skin.  If you are experiencing Kundalini 'hot flashes', it can be a welcome relief from this or any other unwanted agitation.  Please feel free to participate in donating to the initial expenses to legitimize and package my product.  The first owners of this bottle will be the first 3 people to donate me $50 will receive a bottle in the mail before the April 13th in-store release date.  If you want to reserve a bottle for yourself, send me $18 in Paypal and I will mail it to you anywhere in the continental US. I will correspond with

My Latest Observations - AUSTRALIA UPDATE

World peace is possible, but each of us are required to give birth to it.  Breathe life into the world that is you, through right conduct, recovering your power-- your true self.  When we can embody truth, we can positivly impact our community.  However, in the process, we must understand that which we call "drama".   Life is full of struggles, however we often tend to focus in on when these struggles are poorly handled, and call it "drama".  No. Grumpy Kat says "NO"!  This is an unconstructive dead end dispute.   Drama is necessary for human progress.  This is why it is so easy for us to rationalise and readily defend the importance in the creative consciousness outpourings of others, known as theater, cinema, and books.  We are placing our own stories on the backburner in favor of other people's mental products.   We are hindering our own ability to tap into the innate revelatory and powerful psychic potential locked within each of us.

Big Lesson on Spirit Realm & Giving to God

Just in time for the approach of Samhein, Halloween, and the Day of the dead.... Here comes a DOOZY about the spirit realm, complete with dark scary ghost stories! Make yourself a cup of hot cocoa and prepare to be thrilled, chilled, entertained, and potentially a little more sensitive to your connection to and position in the universe around you..... I just returned to the United states from a month in Bali, in the magical spiritual village of Balian! Well, all of bali is quite magical and spiritual, but Balian is the place of the mystics and magical healers. Have you ever wondered how so many Eastern cultures all over the world who live in "poor developing countries" are able to remain so selfless, loving, happy, and caring toward others?   How can people who live in conditions that many westerners revile as dirtier and beneath the quality of our standards be so happy go lucky? When we might feel like we are caught in a panic, struggling in a desperate situation
