Herbal therapies are an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). While there are 5,767 substances defined in the Encyclopedia of Traditional Chinese Medicinal Substances, a typical practitioner may routinely use between 200 and 600.

Most often, the herbs (a combination of one to 13 different plants) are added to water and boiled. The liquid is then separate from the herbs and drunk as a water decoction.

The herbs may also be consumed in powdered form, spray-dried concentrates, pill form, or even “honey pills,” which are “prepared by combining powdered herbs with concentrated decoctions and honey to produce a small herbal pill.”¹

Dear Ones, to nurture your relationships, we suggest you consciously pay attention to the traits you enjoy in others. There is a natural tendency to do this when your relationships first start, but then, as time goes by, you start to become more focused on what you do not like than what you do. It is your appreciation for the other that will support and continue that first flush of love you feel, allowing the “honeymoon phase” to last. Remember, appreciation acts as an energetic anchor, and through your focus you get to nurture and grow what is desired in your precious unions. The most successful partnerships you see in your lives are those that demonstrate a deep appreciation for each other, whether they be based on work, friendship, or love. ~Archangel Gabriel

God said:

Light is energy. You are made of light. You are energy. Remember when you were excited about life and you leaped out of bed, so eager were you to get going. You may have great purpose now, and yet you might like stay in bed.

Return to the days when you are excited about what the day will bring, when you are smooth-running, when life becomes an inciting event, and you can’t wait to meet it.

Do you remember days like this when you could hardly wait for your day to begin? Something wonderful was going to enter your day. You were going to have a great surprise or even several great surprises. You knew today was a new day never lived before. You were eager to hop to it.

You didn’t formulate the words: “I am tired.”

You would wake up in the morning, and you didn’t want to go back to sleep. You wanted to leap out of bed. You wanted to open the envelope.

This enlivenment was more than mood. It wasn’t exactly like Christmas where you knew gifts were coming.

This joy of life came from something inside you. Your favor wasn’t being bought. It wasn’t that you were waiting for a great promotion at work, or winning the lottery, though these are perfectly fine. There was something inside you that was raring to go. You were your own incentive.

You weren’t making the best of something, although that isn’t a bad idea either. There was something more. What gives you joy? Have something in mind simply for the joy of it. Perhaps do something you have never done before. Yes, this is a good idea I am giving you.
