It's time for the Gratitude Fest. Why not write thank-you notes to the
creatures, both human and otherwise, that have played seminal roles in
inspiring you to become yourself?
Who have been your guides along the way, both the purposeful teachers
and the inadvertent helpers? Who has seen you for who you really are?
Who has nudged you in the direction of your fuller destiny and awakened
you to your signature truths? Who has loved you very, very well?

drinking water every morn
.. DRINK WATER ON EMPTY STOMACH
It is popular in Japan today to drink water immediately after waking up every morning. Furthermore, scientific tests have proven a its value. We publish below a description of use of water for our readers.
For old and serious diseases as well as modern illnesses the water treatment had been found successful by a Japanese med ical society as a 100% cure for the following diseases: Headache, body ache, heart system, arthritis, fast heart beat, epilepsy, excess fatness, bronchitis asthma, TB, meningitis, kidney and urine diseases, vomiting, ga str itis, diarrhea, piles, diabetes, constipation, all eye diseases, womb, cancer and men str ual disorders, ear nose and throat diseases.
METHOD OF TREATMENT
1. As you wake up in the morning before brushing teeth, drink 4 x 160ml glasses of water .....interesting
2. Brush and clean the mouth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes
3. After 45 minutes you may eat and drink as normal.
4. After 15 minutes of breakfast, lunch and dinner do not eat or drink anything for 2 hours
5. Those who are old or sick and are unable to drink 4 glasses of water at the beginning may commence by taking lit tle water and gradually increase it to 4 glasses per day.
6. The above method of treatment will cure diseases of the sick and others can enjoy a healthy life.
The following list gives the number of days of treatment required to cure/control/ reduce main diseases:
1. High Blood Pressure - 30 days
2. Ga str ic - 10 days
3. Diabetes - 30 days
4. Constipation - 10 days
5. Cancer - 180 days
6. TB - 90 days
7. Arthritis patients should follow the above treatment only for 3 days in the 1st week, and from 2nd week onwards - daily. This treatment method has no side effects, however at the commencement of treatment you may have to urinate a few times.
It is better if we continue this and make this procedure as a routine work in our life.Drink Water and Stay healthy and Active.
This makes sense .. The Chinese and Japanese drink hot tea with their meals ..not cold water.
Maybe it is time we adopt their drinking habit while eating!!! Nothing to lose, everything to gain... For those who like to drink cold water, this article is applicable to you.
It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed . It will slow down the digestion.
Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine.
Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.

2012
Metaphysical speculations
2012 is claimed by some with New age beliefs to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or alternatively an apocalypse). There is disagreement among believers as to whether 2012 will see an end of civilization, or humanity will be elevated to a higher level.[14]
2012 is claimed by some with New age beliefs to be a great year of spiritual transformation (or alternatively an apocalypse). There is disagreement among believers as to whether 2012 will see an end of civilization, or humanity will be elevated to a higher level.[14]
Many esoteric sources interpret the completion of the thirteenth B'ak'tun cycle in the Long Count of the Maya calendar (which occurs on December 21 by the most widely held correlation) to mean there will be a major change in world order.
Astrologer John Jenkins has determined that on this date, there will be "an extremely close conjunction of the northern hemisphere winter solstice sun with the crossing point of the Galactic equator and the ecliptic", an event that will not be repeated for thousands of years. [14] [15]
Several authors have published works which claim that a major, world-changing event will take place in 2012:
The 1997 book The Bible Code by Michael Drosnin claims that, according to certain algorithms of the Bible code, an asteroid or comet will collide with the Earth.
The 2006 book 2012: The Return of Quetzalcoatl by Daniel Pinchbeck discusses theories of a possible global awakening to psychic connection by the year 2012, creating a noosphere.
Riley Martin claims that Biaviian aliens will allow passage aboard their 'Great Mother Ship' when the Earth is 'transformed' in 2012.
Terence McKenna's numerological novelty theory suggests a point of singularity in which humankind will go through a great shift in consciousness.

Winter Solstice Festival : DONG ZHI
冬至
DONG ZHI
Winter Solstice Festival
Eleventh Moon (December)
Literally meaning the "arrival (至) of winter (冬)”, Dong Zhi is the second most
important festival of the Chinese calendar, and is considered the thanksgiving
of the Chinese calendar. Dong Zhi is the last festival of the year. Coinciding
with the winter solstice, it is a time for the entire family to get together to
celebrate the past good year. Glutinous rice balls known as Tang Yuan (汤圆)
are cooked and eaten to signify unity and harmony within the family.
ORIGINS OF DONG ZHI
Celebrated on the longest night of the year, Dong Zhi is the day when
sunshine is weakest and daylight shortest. The sun is at the Tropic of
Capricorn & this results in the longest night of the year for those living in the
northern hemisphere.
Dong Zhi has its origins in the farmer's celebrations of the year-end harvest.
The ancient Chinese farmers divided the year into 24 "joints" of two weeks,
and as a result, each Dong Zhi occurs six weeks before the Chinese New
Year. Dongzhi usually falls between December 21 and 23.
Dong Zhi was in fact the antecedent of Chinese New Year, as some of the
earlier emperors celebrated the new year at Dong Zhi. This lasted till Emperor
Han Wu Di decided to fix the Lunar New Year at the beginning of each year.
Even today, some Chinese “traditionalists” insist that everyone turns a year
older after Dong Zhi.
The celebration of Dong Zhi is also deeply rooted in the Chinese belief of yin
and yang, which represent balance and harmony in life. The Chinese believe
that although the yin qualities of darkness and cold are at their most powerful
at the time of Dong Zhi, it is also a turning point, heralding the dawning of the
light and warmth of yang. Because of this, Dong Zhi is considered a time of
optimism.

Tang Yuan
Ah Balling (汤圆 in Chinese), also known as Tang Yuan, is a Teochew Chinese Dessert. Basically, it comprises glutinous rice balls served in a hot sweet soup, such as peanut soup or even ginger soup). Each rice ball contains a sweet paste made from lotus seed, red bean, black sesame, ground peanuts or yam. They are made separately then cooked in hot water for a few minutes.
The soup is made from rock sugar and pandan leaves. This is ladled onto the rice balls just before serving. Ah Balling is a sweet dessert, perfect for anyone who has a sweet tooth.
A good paste from black sesame and peanut, is one where they are roasted to a point where there is a nice aroma coming from them, then crushed and made into paste.
A good paste from black sesame and peanut, is one where they are roasted to a point where there is a nice aroma coming from them, then crushed and made into paste.
When you bite into a good ah balling, the aroma and fine texture of the paste should tantalize your taste buds.
There are three type of soup that is served with Ah Balling. And they are plain, ginger and peanut soup. All of them are cooked with pandan leaves and rock sugar. For ginger soup, large amount of ginger is added to prepare the ginger soup so when drinking it, you will experience a bit of spicinese that is unique to ginger. But ginger being a herb in nature, allows you to have your dessert and still keep healthy at the same time.
In recent years, many places have started a new trend by adding peanuts to the serving soup. The peanuts have been boiled to a point that they are still solid in the soup, but will disintegrate once you put them into your mouth.
Regardless of which soup you choose, the rice balls should be soft and tender with a little bit of a bite when you break it open with your teeth. The glutinous rice shell and filling should then melt in your mouth and slide down your throat.
