Everything breathes
The tides come and go. The day becomes night and returns. Your breath reflects the movement of the cosmos, the coming into form and a passing away. Give time many times in your day to sitting or standing quietly and breathing. No need to give any name to it. Close your eyes. Relax your shoulders. Let your breath simply be the movement of coming in and going out, the natural movement of a rhythm kept steady.

Sauerkraut & Kim Chee
aka delicious enzymes to aid digestion
Peel off the outer leaves of a cabbage and save to cap the kraut later. Shred the cabbage, and add to a large mixing bowl.
Add 2 teaspoons of sea salt and mix well before stuffing into a jar with a loose fitting lid. Clamping jars are ideal. Place the saved outer leaves over the cabbage in the jar to form a seal, like a cap. Stow the jar in a warm cupboard for 2 weeks. Place a shallow pan under the jar to catch any overflow of juices. After two weeks fermentation, remove the cabbage leaf cap, and refrigerate. Eat 1/4 cup of sauerkraut with one meal each day.
To transform your kraut into Kim Chee, add any combination of the following ingredients to your mixing bowl:
1 bunch green onion
1/2 cup daikon radish
1 cup grated carrot
1 TBL fresh ginger minced
2 cloves garlic minced
1/2 cup lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried chili flakes
1 TBL hot sauce
Arame or other seaweed

ARM SWINGING
This exercise is valuable for increasing metabolism and stimulating the flow of circulation in the lymphatics.
Stand comfortably with your knees slightly bent. Push your hands gently behind you and let them fall forward. Allow a momentum to develop so you are swinging your arms repeatedly up to 50 times.
Try this movement on waking each morning or before eating to activate the body's inner flows.
