Fall In Love with yourself-
with your spouse, with your friends

Fall in love with the absence of conflict-
with the process of understanding another point of view

Fall in love with this very moment-
with the lessons it contains, the experiences

Fall in love with the energies swirling around you-
with the tingly effervescent sensations, the excitement

Fall in love-
Fall deeply and hopelessly in love

As I have with you~

All my Love, Boo
 

(note: First, I want to thank everyone who joined us for our meditation via tinychat last night. Auditory glitches aside, your presence was greatly needed and appreciated. It was a bit quieter and more subdued than our usual get-togethers.

I found myself feeling still and centered and completely without words. Even written words were far from my grasp. This morning, the disconnect is still felt.

Recently in our meetings at the Galactic Free Press, we've discussed the beginnings of these new language inadequacies.  It's simply an evolutionary shift for us; one in which true communication now includes images and "feelings" for which there are no words. But keep trying, keep expressing yourself - perhaps through a new artistic expression. We DO comprehend your full meaning, it IS coming though. Our limited language is a vehicle that carries with it all your thoughts and intentions. We can see your heart and the love pouring out.

It seems our friend Ron Van Dyke has also been affected by this, as his video blog reveals. What comes across louder than his words is the prevailing sense of peace and love. Peace and love...

(editor's note: Sweet Flag [also known as calamus] is an antispasmotic used to treat gas, bloating, toothaches and joint pain. While there are four different species, only the americanus variety is safe to use.

As more people awaken to the illusion of "modern" medicine they are moving away from pharmaceuticals and treatments that are in dis-harmony with our higher vibrations.
Through this "Natural Remedies" segment I hope to introduce you to methods of healing you may not have tried, as well as building your knowledge base so you can help others.

Sweet Flag (Acorus calamus var. americanus)

Looking like an iris, the sweet flag is actually related to the calla lily. With a smell like cinnamon and a taste like nutmeg, it was even produced commercially as a fragrance at one time. It is an aquatic plant found in wild meadows and marshes.

Imagine abounding happiness...

(editor's note: Rose hips [the fleshy red fruits of the dog rose and other types of wild and shrub roses] have been used for curative potions since the Stone Age. These vitamin C rich fruits can be consumed raw or cooked and provide great assistance during a cold.

Time Travelers Footprints Found

(editor's note: Sunday  afternoon (tomorrow 13 May) the Taurus Sun joins Jupiter (the sign of finance). Be on the look out for some positive signs of the beginning of our new worldwide financial stability.
While we're up in the sky, the asteroid Vesta continues to intrigue astonomers with it's many "earth-like" qualities.

I'm so happy to report that news of activities happening outside and around our planet continue to intrigue more and more people!
Just a few years ago, "space geeks" were the only ones interested in all the wonderous events of our neighboring planets, stars, and galaxies. Now it seems everyone has their eyes to the skies!

Asteroid Vesta Looks Like a Little Planet, Complete With Craters, Mountains and Landslides

Yesterday I most likely pushed a LOT of buttons and stirred up a host of "bad" emotions. Some people most likely projected these feelings and fears back towards me (which is ok, I understand..) and some brave superhero people actually began to ponder their own values placed on illness and disease.

As you ask those pesky "why" questions and learn so much about yourself, there will be those other voices. You know, the ones that tell you "it's all hocus pocus", "after all the crap you've done in your life, you deserve this illness", "yes, but...."

Welcome to the wacky world of doubt. Just when you think you're strong and able to try some self-healing, doubt sneaks in and tickles your ear. 

Resist the temptation to become frustrated and quit (doubt wins), or to beat yourself up for letting these thoughts get anywhere near you (doubt wins).

The secret, as the Buddha says, is to embrace doubt as you would a little child, then let it go.

In other words, embrace the doubt. Say hello to it, thanks for stopping by, but now you have to go.

Friend --

Today, I was asked a direct question and gave a direct answer:

I believe that same-sex couples should be allowed to marry.

I hope you'll take a moment to watch the conversation, consider it, and weigh in yourself on behalf of marriage equality:

http://my.barackobama.com/Marriage

I've always believed that gay and lesbian Americans should be treated fairly and equally. I was reluctant to use the term marriage because of the very powerful traditions it evokes. And I thought civil union laws that conferred legal rights upon gay and lesbian couples were a solution.

But over the course of several years I've talked to friends and family about this. I've thought about members of my staff in long-term, committed, same-sex relationships who are raising kids together. Through our efforts to end the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, I've gotten to know some of the gay and lesbian troops who are serving our country with honor and distinction.

What I've come to realize is that for loving, same-sex couples, the denial of marriage equality means that, in their eyes and the eyes of their children, they are still considered less than full citizens.

Even at my own dinner table, when I look at Sasha and Malia, who have friends whose parents are same-sex couples, I know it wouldn't dawn on them that their friends' parents should be treated differently.

(editor's note: Ooooh - this headline got me all tingly, "NASA's Spitzer Sees the Light of Alien 'Super-Earth'."  The planet known as 55 Cancri e is a class of planets called super Earths and they keep scientists excited about developing better spacecraft and advancing current knowledge of our atmospheric neighbors.

I'm so happy to report that news of activities happening outside and around our planet continue to intrigue more and more people!

NASA's Spitzer Sees the Light of Alien 'Super-Earth'

(editor's note: It's fabulous and it repels mosquitos! By imbedding mosquito repellant into net material, a Cornell scientist and an African designer have designed a hooded bodysuit that provides protection throughout the day, where most topical applications need to be frequently reapplied.

"Pentamode... pentamode..." A new class of material has been developed, and it's called pentamode metamaterial. By making a stable form of crystalline metafluid, this new material may be used for inaudibility cloaks and other wonderous acoustic applications.

In my daily treks through the news files of the world I'm amazed at the depth and scope of emerging science technologies! In the bigger picture of our changing world, we understand that these are stepping stones towards joining our Galactic community of scientists.

African Designer and Scientist Fashion Anti-Malaria Garment That Wards Off Bugs

(editor's note: Scientists are listening to the various sounds produced by volcanoes in an effort to learn their language. This gives us a better understanding of healings in Gaia's crust through volcanic lifecycles.

And a camera trap in a Cameroon gorilla sanctuary has captured the first ever video footage of the very rare and shy Cross River gorilla.

Rather than become disheartened by the negative news of mainstream media, I challenge you to look deeper -to find healing earth heroes in your own community. There are people all over this beautiful jewel we call Gaia working every day to correct the damage we have done. They are doing the physical clean up work, or putting the intellectual thought into solving these problems. Please join me in sending them all energies of love and support.

Volcanoes Sound-Off On the Life-Cycles of Eruptions

(editor's note: Yesterday we talked about the benefits of sunlight vs. the harmful chemicals in commercial sunscreens. Today I'd like to continue with that topic and expand it to include a recipe for a natural cream that protects your skin from excess UVA radiation and replenish the moisture loss as well.

Secondly, there is a plant in the Amazon region called the Graviola Tree that is showing promise as it is able to target certain cancer cells and kill them without the harmful side effects found with traditional chemo or radiation therapies.

In time, the science of light and sound will advance so that we can update our medical centers, similar to those used on our Healing Ships.
Awakening within us all is the ability to completely heal ourselves.
As our bodies evolve from carbon-based to a crystalline-based structure, we must all learn how to properly nourish and treat our physical body.
