Hemp Seeds and Health

October 1, 2012

Hemp seeds are a very healthy, nutritious and versatile food. They are rich in protein and contain beneficial fatty acids, minerals and vitamins. I like to sprinkle them over fruit and cereal, and they work well in yogurt and on salads, too. Hemp seeds are a great food for vegans because in addition to being eaten as whole seeds they can be ground to make hemp seed butter, blended with water to make hemp seed milk or pressed to make an oil, a protein powder and a flour.

Hemp seed butter and milk can be made at home or bought in a store. Hemp seed butter can replace peanut butter in sandwiches and on crackers. The milk comes in plain or flavored versions, just like dairy milk. Unlike dairy milk, though, hemp seed milk is a good source of healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Hemp protein powder is sold in health food and specialty stores and can be added to foods and to drinks such as smoothies to increase their protein content. Hemp flour is also available and can provide a protein boost to baked goods. Hemp seed oil can be used in smoothies and in cold foods like salads.

Human rights activists launch a campaign against secret courts that hide UK

Human rights activists launch a campaign against secret courts that hide UK's complicity in torture.
Civil liberties groups have launched a nationwide campaign to express opposition against the coalition government’s controversial plans for secret courts, seen as an attempt to hide Britain’s complicity in torture.
 

The London-based human rights organization CagePrisoners set up a broad campaign at an event in Westminster on September 24 against the British government’s plans to introduce secret trials in to the country’s judicial system.

A Media Guide to Volcanoes

As many of you know, I tend to get a little irate when it comes to poor reporting on volcanoes in the media. Now, we can place a lot of the blame of the fact that most people have not had much experience talking scientifically (or at all) about volcanic activity, so instead they try to cope as best as they can with some wildly inaccurate terminology, descriptions and interpretations. Well, those excuses can no longer exist, as I’ve decided to make a handy media guide to volcanoes. Just like a sports team will hand out a guide of their team, players, statistics and more to reporters covering the event, this will hopefully help media who are trying to tackle reporting on volcanism to not make those common errors that plague so much of it. Enjoy.

The basics:

Keep a reminder….Short thoughts

Posted on October 1, 2012

This picture made me think how easy it would be for people to create one of these little jars, a wonderful reminder to us all, especially those new to the journey, to stay in our hearts always. We can be easily  swayed by all of the chaos going on in the world, to be pulled away into our old ways of being and forget to stay anchored in our hearts. If we do that, those are the times fear finds a space to wiggle in and twist our lives into knots. If we stay in our hearts and feel only love for the world around us, we cannot feel fear as well. The choice is ours which one we will invite into our homes to dine at our tables and share our company. A good way of remembering to make the right choices is to ask yourself, ‘will this choice I am about to make bring about happiness and peace in my life and to those around me?’ If not then realize you are choosing fear and make a conscious decision to choose love. It is just a matter of staying connected to ourselves and paying attention to what we are thinking and doing. That one act can change your life forever. Blessings to all….VK

The manuscript of survival – part 203

 

 

 •October 1, 2012 •

We would like to take this opportunity to once again delve a bit further into the same topic as last time, namely the fact that the massives changes you are all anticipating are in many aspects already under way. You see, you have been programmed to expect some sort of massive upheaval, or cataclysm if you will. But again, the plan we refer to does not look the same as the one so many of your fellow men carry around in their heads. Therefore, many have lost their faith by looking in the wrong direction, waiting for something that has yet to manifest. Let us explain.

Living A Life Of Joy

 

 

Most of us didn't come here to meditate our lives away in a cave and get all spiritual and enlightened in that way... we came here to experience the physical human experience... ALL of it! The laughter, the tears, the joy, the anger… ALL of it! Living a Life of Joy is not about challenges not arising... it's about loving it ALL and constantly shifting to the higher, broader perspective because you know that everything is in divine order and orchestration... that's how you stay joyful and enlightened! ~ ♥ Sierra Goodman ♥ ~ http://goo.gl/z9YwE
