In just seven days after planting sunflower seeds, you can munch on some of the most beneficial micro-greens around. Sunflowers offer incredible health benefits, and you can eat many parts of the plant. Finding fresh sunflower sprouts is very difficult, but it is so simple to grow your own. You can also allow a few of the plants to grow into mature sunflowers which will then yield thousands of new seeds for you to grow again – an entirely sustainable way to feed your body and mind.

As humanity waits expectantly for an event of great significance – an event that the collective senses is about to happen without having any idea what it might be, or even if anything is about to happen – intensify your intent for the collective to open itself, its massive heart, to the divine field of Love that surrounds and embraces you. It is always with you, offering you infinite Love and acceptance, and all you have to do is to open your hearts and accept the offer.  Many of you have already done so and as a result the collective is feeling increasingly tempted to move fully into Love, thereby abandoning all that is not in harmony with It.

Because of the energies of darkness that still remain many of you are still experiencing doubts and anxieties about the reality of the New Age, but rest assured that it is already fully and irrevocably established; it is just up to you, all of humanity, with boundless assistance from all in the spiritual realms, to open into awareness of it.  You want it.  You are truly burned out from the constant negativity and disharmony of the illusion.  You are ready and increasingly willing to awaken.

Rapharus sativus, or the common radish, is an often overlooked vegetable with wonderful healing properties. This root-like vegetable is of the cruciferous variety (in the same family of vegetables as arugula, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and watercress) and offers multiple trace minerals, vitamins, and healing phyto-nutrients that our bodies need. Even the Iron Chef tells us, ‘don’t throw away those radish greens!’

Once used in ancient Chinese medicine and introduced to the Americas by Columbus (according to legend), radishes appeared in Mexico and Haiti in the 1500s. They were part of many a colonial garden. They come in all kinds of varieties and colors, from ravishing red, to blushing pink and even purple, and can weigh up to five pounds and grow up to 7 feet long with a good compost tea, and healthy soil. Many are cultivated for their greens alone, since they are full of healthful properties.

When we talk about eating foods for their specific health benefits, many people think simply eating the food is enough. For instance, if you struggle with inflammatory bowel disease and have read that turmeric is effective in healing many digestive issues, you may simply get a turmeric (curcumin) supplement to start taking. But you would be overlooking one crucial fact about turmeric that could mean the difference between simple consumption and full-absorption. That fact: turmeric is fat-soluble, and you want to be able to absorb is magnificent food to experience all of the health benefits it has to offer.
