T o Skin T omatoes:  Cut the core out of the top or blossom end and score
the bott om with an X. Blanch  tomatoes in boiling water fo r 15 to 30
seconds. The riper the tomato, the less time it should take to loosen the skin. Immerse in cold water for 1 minute and slip of f the skins. T o Seed T omatoes:  T omatoes do n ot need to be skinned in order to seed
them, but if you are going to skin as well as seed, then skin first. Cut on the diagonal between th e stem and the bottom ends. Hold one half
over a bowl or  the sink and squeeze out the seeds. Repeat with the
remaining half.T o Roast T omatoes:  Plum or paste tomatoes are best for this method. Rub
tomato skins with olive oil and place directly on a hot grill or on a rimmed
baking sheet under an oven broiler. Using tongs, turn often until skins
blacken and begin to split. Place  charred tomatoes in a colander over a glass
bowl to catch the juices. Cover with a clean tea towel or lid. Le t cool. Skin
and seed (you can use the skin, juices and seeds in soup stock). Canning T omatoes

childhood: summ ers in, on and about the lake; winters playing  ice hockey
or snow mobiling; living in the family home built by his gr eat-grandfather
Martin M cLaughlin. One of his earliest memories is of the lar ge vegetable
gar den tended by his Aunt Ruth and Uncle Keith Dunn. Like many families
in those days, the Dunns filled their pantry with pr eserves and canned fruits
and vegetables. Gary loved his Aunt Ruth’ s Chili Sauce. When I started on
this book, Ruth’ s daughter Darla took out her mother ’ s r eci pe box and
dictated this r ecipe, written in her mother ’ s hand. If you like your chili

, simply because it is an other-directed
activity. It allows their behavior to be the cause of your emotional
discomfort. People who really like themselves don’t choose jealousy
or allow themselves to be distraught when someone else doesn’t
play fair. You can never predict how someone you love will react to another
human being, but if they choose to be affectionate or loving you can
only experience the immobility of jealousy if you see their decisions
as having anything to do with you. That is your choice. If a partner
loves another, he isn’t being “unfair,” he is simply being. If you label
it unfair, you’ll probably end up trying to figure out why. A perfect
example is a client of mine who was furious because her husband
had an affair. She became obsessed with trying to figure out why? She was constantly asking, “Where did I go wrong?” “What’s wrong
with me?” “Wasn’t I good enough for him?” and similar self-
doubting questions. Helen was always thinking about the injustice
of her husband’s infidelity. She even contemplated having an affair
herself as a way to right the balance. She cried a great deal and al-
ternated between fury and sadness. Helen’s faulty thinking, which leads her to unhappiness, lies in
her demand for justice which suffocates her in this relationship. She
has made her husband’s choice to engage in sex168 / Your Erroneous Zonesthe reason for her to be upset. At the same time she is using his be-
havior as a rationale for doing something that she probably wanted
to do for a long time—but didn’t because it isn’t fair. Helen’s insist-
ence on strict justice would have meant that if she were the first to
have an affair, then her husband would have to retaliate. Helen’s
emotional condition will not improve until she decides that his de-
cision was made independent of her, and that he might have a
thousand reasons of his own, all unrelated to Helen, for his sexual
exploration. Maybe he just wanted to do something different, per-
haps he felt love for someone besides his wife, or perhaps he wanted
to prove his virility or keep old age at bay. Whatever the reason, it
has nothing to do with Helen. She can see the affair as something
between two people rather than as something against her. The upset
rests solely in Helen. She can continue to bruise herself with the self-
flagellating jealousy in which she is less important than her husband
or his mistress, or she can recognize that someone else’s affair has
nothing to do with her self-worth. Some Typical “Demand for Justice” Behaviors
“Searching-for-equity” behavior is obvious in virtually all areas
of life. If you are the least bit perceptive you’ll see them cropping
up over and over in yourself and others. Here are some of the more
common examples of this kind of behavior. • Complaining that others make more money for doing the same
work. • Saying it isn’t fair that a Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Barbra
Streisand, Catfish Hunter or Joe Namath make the kind of salaries
that they do, and being upset by it. • Being upset that others get away with infractions, while you
always get caught. From speeders on the highway to Nixon’s pardon,
you insist that justice must  prevail.THE JUSTICE TRAP  / 169• All of the “Would I treat you that way?” sentences in which the
assumption is that everyone should be exactly like you. • Always reciprocating when someone does a favor for you. If
you invite me for dinner, then I owe you one or at least a bottle of
wine. This sort of behavior is often justified as good manners or
politeness, but in reality it is simply a means of keeping the scales
of justice in balance. • Kissing someone back or saying “I love you, too” instead of ac-
cepting it and expressing your own feelings whenever you choose. The implication is that it isn’t fair to have an “I love you” or kiss
without giving one back. • Having sex with someone out of obligation, even though you
don’t want to, because it really isn’t fair not to be cooperative. Thus
you operate by justice rather than what you would like to do at a
particular present moment. • Always insisting on things being consistent. Remember Emer-
son’s often misquoted line:
A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. If you always want things to be the “right” way, you are in this
“little-minds” category. • In arguments, insisting on a clear-cut decision which calls for
the winners to be right and the losers to admit that they were wrong. • Using the fair argument in order to get your own way. “You
went out last night, it’s not fair for me to have to stay home.” And
then being upset because of the lack of fairness. • Saying it isn’t fair to the kids, my parents,  or the neighbors,  and
consequently doing things that you’d rather not do and feeling re-
sentment about it. Instead of blaming the entire mess on the lack of
fairness, try looking hard at your own in-170 / Your Erroneous Zonesability to decide for yourself what is most appropriate for you. • The “If he can do it, so can I” game in which you justify some-
thing by someone else’s behavior. This can be the neurotic rationale
for cheating, stealing, flirting, lying, being late, or anything that
you’d rather not admit into your own value system. On the highway,
cutting off another driver because he did it to you, or hurrying up
to get in front of a slowpoke, to slow him down, because he did it
to you, or leaving your highbeams on because oncoming cars are
doing it—literally putting your own life in jeopardy because your
sense of justice has been violated. This is the “He hit me, so I hit
him” routine that is largely employed by children who have seen
this behavior thousands of times in their own parents. It is the cause
of war when extended to its ridiculous extreme. • Spending the same amount of money on a gift that someone
else spent on one for you. Paying back every favor with a favor of
equal value. Keeping the tally sheet equal, rather than doing what
you would like in such matters. After all, “It has to be fair.”
There they are, a brief excursion down Justice-Alley, where you,
and those around you, find yourself internally shaken—often only
slightly, but still shaken—because of that unserviceable sentence in
your head that things must be fair. Some of the Psychological Payoffs for Hanging Onto Your “Demands
for Justice”
The rewards for this kind of behavior are generally self-defeating
in that they keep the focus off reality and on some kind of a dream
world that will never exist. The most common reasons for retaining
your “demand for justice” thinking and behavior are:THE JUSTICE TRAP  / 171• You can feel smug with yourself for being honorable. It’s one
way to make yourself feel superior and better. As long as you insist
on a mythological justice system for everything and are careful to
keep your tally sheet in balance, you’ll hold onto your holier than
thou feeling and use up your present moments with smugness rather
than effective living. • You can give up responsibility for yourself and justify being
immobilized by shifting the responsibility to those people and events
that are not fair. A scapegoating for your lack of ability to be and
feel what you choose. In this way, you can avoid risks, and the hard
work of change. As long as injustice is the cause of your problems
you can never change until the injustice goes away, which, of course,
it never will. • Injustice can win you attention, pity and self-pity. The world
has been unjust to you and now you and everyone around you must
feel sorry for you. This is another great technique for avoiding
change. The attention, pity and self-pity are your rewards, and you
use them to prop yourself up rather than take charge of yourself
and eliminate comparison behavior. • You can justify all kinds of immoral, illegal and inappropriate
behavior by making your action someone else’s responsibility. If he
can do it, so can I. That’s a beautiful rationalization system for any
behavior. • It gives you a sensational self-excuse for being ineffective. “If
they aren’t going to do anything, then neither am I.” A clever little
ploy for being too lazy, too tired, or too frightened. • It gives you a conversation topic and helps you to avoid talking
about yourself to the people around you. Complain about all the
injustices in the world and nothing gets done, but at least you killed
those moments and maybe escaped dealing more honestly and
personally with each other. • As long as you have a concept of justice, you can always make
the just decision. • You can manipulate others, particularly your children, by re-
minding them that they are being unfair to you if they aren’t172 / Your Erroneous Zonesexactly the same as you, and don’t keep a precise tally of all give-
and-take in the relationship. A nice little device for getting your own
way. • You can justify vindictive behavior because everything must be
fair. This is a ploy for getting


 born, during his or her first few years of life, he or she goes through very
rapid stages of growth. This growth occurs in spurts and during these growth spurts there is an
additional need for vitamins and minerals. The body stores nutrients for these growth spurts, and then
grows quickly as it uses nutrient stores. During these rapid growth spurts, if nutrients are missing in
body, the needed minerals and building blocks are pulled from the teeth. Another cause of tooth decayis when children are fed too many sweet foods and their body chemistry falls out of balance, resulting
in tooth destruction. Weak Teeth from Birth
Dr. Mellanby’s experiments on canine teeth reveal the effect of a pregnancy diet on children’s teeth..
Weak, or hypoplastic, teeth in young children is a common problem which is related to the diet of the
mother during pregnancy. Female dogs that were fed a good diet during pregnancy had puppies that
even when given a poor diet, were highly immune to cavities because they had been born with well-
built teeth. When female dogs were fed a poor diet during pregnancy, and their puppies were given a
poor diet, the puppies usually formed cavities because the teeth were weak since birth. 17
 This
demonstrates that the conditions before and during pregnancy can substantially affect how susceptible
your child is to tooth decay now. The good news is that even weak teeth can be made strong, but the
diet of a child with weak teeth will need to be more closely monitored than that of a child born with
strong teeth.Dietary Keys for Remineralizing Tooth Decay in Young Children
Healing children’s cavities is essentially the same as healing adult cavities. Add fat-soluble vitamins into the diet, particularly vitamins A, D and Activator X. Increase dietary minerals particularly calcium and phosphorous. Balance blood sugar with low sugar meals and adequate levels of protein throughout the day. Avoid toxic and denatured foods; avoid whole grain foods with bran. One nutritional requirement for infant health is iron. Many times mothers who are vegan, vegetarian,
or eat little meat, are the mothers of children who have severe childhood tooth decay. In considering
the cause of my daughter's tooth decay, I point to the mostly vegetarian diet followed by Michelle and
myself, before and during pregnancy. Thankfully, we occasionally ate fish. Breast milk does not have
any viable amount of iron and after six months of age the infant has exhausted her body’s iron stores. Not by coincidence, this is the age when infants can eat their first foods. Most likely, feeding infants
and toddlers mashed vegetables and fruit does not provide adequate absorbable iron. As a result,
their blood does not remain strong and they lose their ability to grow healthy teeth. Feeding young children pre-chewed or blended grass-fed liver, grass-fed lamb, grass-fed beef, or
fresh clams from clean waters will help provide them with adequate amounts of utilizable iron. How
you prepare the food for your child is your choice. A majority of people will want to offer their
children cooked vegetables and cooked proteins. This is fine, especially in the form of soups and
stews with bone broth. Just as with adults you will want to avoid feeding your child too many raw,
cellulose-rich vegetables. You can do this by cooking vegetables or juicing them (provided you
understand which vegetables are low in anti-nutrients when raw like celery, cucumber, parsley and
cilantro). A few parents like to go the raw or rare route for dairy and animal proteins; this is also
fine. Use your best judgment and the feeding principles that you feel comfortable with. As long as
your child can digest the food properly, it will add to his health. A Food guide for Halting Childhood Tooth Decay
Young children can be finicky eaters. I follow the principle of never forcing children to eat anything. However sometimes they need strong encouragement to eat certain foods we know are good for them
to help shift their metabolism and body chemistry in a new direction. Encouraging children to drink
milk for strong bones and good health used to be a habit in the United States when the milk was farm
fresh and usually raw. That habit died as the quality of milk deteriorated. Fat-Soluble Vitamins Every Day
You will want to ensure that your child receives the important fat-soluble vitamins for teeth every day
as discussed in chapter three on fat-soluble vitamins. I recommend the Blue Ice™ Royal Blend
because it is so easy to give the fat-soluble vitamins they need. The amount of Blue Ice™ Royal
Blend from Green Pasture (can be purchased at
codliveroilshop.com
) you give to your child depends
on the health, nutrient deficiency, and weight of your child. You will need to use your best judgment
based upon the dosage of a teenager. For severe cavities a teenager or adult dosage is ½ of ateaspoon of a mixture of cod liver oil and butter oil 2-3 times per day to comprise a total of 1 to 1½
teaspoons per day. You will need to adjust these daily doses based on your intuition or with the guidance of a health
practitioner. These are based upon weight of your child. Estimated daily dosages of the butter and fermented cod liver oil mixture:

25 pounds: ¼ teaspoon per day
35 pounds: 1/3 teaspoon per day
45 pounds: ½ teaspoon per day
55 pounds: 2/3 teaspoon per day
If you want or need to use other sources of fat-soluble vitamins then you will want to give your child
as much as they like to eat of vitamin A-rich foods like liver, vitamin D-rich foods like egg yolks and
lots of oily fish, and Activator X-rich foods like yellow butter. Bone marrow and fish eggs also are
excellent sources of fat-soluble vitamins for healing children’s cavities. For added fat-soluble
nutrient support my family uses fermented skate liver oil. Skate liver oil offers some unique vitamins
that seem to strengthen the overall health of many children. Excellent Foods

Feed these foods to your children in proportion to their appetite for them. You can also take
advice from the tooth decay healing food suggestions in chapter five. Below is a summary of
some foods that can be especially helpful to have in your diet. Bone broths or homemade soups and gravies made with them are excellent for children. Raw grass-fed whole fat milk, butter, cream and cheese. Cheese is particularly dense in calcium
and phosphorous. Soft-boiled pastured eggs or yolks, or raw eggs in a smoothie. Cooked or raw fish is especially potent in reducing tooth decay. Include oysters and clams. Delicately cooked grass-fed beef and/or lamb. Tallow, duck fat, or lard from grass-fed animals. Wild-caught fish eggs. Balancing Foods

Feed your child fermented foods such as fermented sweet potatoes, sauerkraut, yogurt and kefir
to help balance digestion. Cooked vegetables, such as zucchini, string beans, kale, and chard. Add plenty of butter and/or
cream. Seaweeds of every sort; they are high in macro and trace minerals. Vegetable juice if you know which vegetables do not contain anti-nutrients or the Ayurvedic
green cooked vegetable soup or smoothie.Foods to Avoid

Avoid all packaged food and processed baby and children’s food. Make all of your baby food at
home. Do not serve any processed foods on the “avoid list” in chapter 6. Avoid infant formula. Use raw milk or bone broth formula instead. Whole grains, oatmeal, breakfast cereals and granola. Refined sweeteners containing fructose. Vaccines and pharmaceuticals. Foods to Limit and Be Aware Of
How strict you need to be with your child’s diet really has to do with how severe their cavities are. For children with active and severe decay, limit sweet foods to one meal per day or omit altogether. Make sure the sweet food is natural…like fruit. When they are healthy, more fruits are acceptable, but
you must pay close attention to how fruit consumption affects their health. Do not give your child
sweetened foods and fruits throughout the day, as this will cause excess blood sugar fluctuations. You
will notice that many store-bought baby foods are made with fruits that are very sweet. Natural sweets that can promote tooth decay. Any natural sweetener such as cane sugar, stevia,
maple syrup, unheated honey, bananas, sweet apples, oranges, grapes, peaches, pineapples, cherries,
dates, raisins, dried fruit, and other very sweet fruits that are not listed here. Potatoes. Potatoes that are not fermented may contribute to tooth decay. Beans. It is unclear whether beans in the diet of young children supports their health. Safer sweet fruits. Cooked fruit seems to be better than raw fruit in terms of sugar content. We use
fruits like berries, pears, kiwis, and apples sparingly. If you have been feeding your child sweet
foods frequently, such as maple syrup at breakfast, honey at lunch, and fruit and ice-cream at dinner,
then your child might have a detoxification response to having the sugar removed. As with quitting a
powerful drug, he will have to experience some discomfort and may protest as his body adjusts to a
healthier diet. Vegetables. While vegetables are a balancing food, never force your child to eat vegetables. Cooked
and raw vegetables may have nutrients that are difficult for some children to utilize. Whole Grains and Childhood Tooth Decay
In reviewing my older daughter’s own case of severe cavities, I found several photos of her
consuming whole grain products we made


Clostridium	botulinum,
the	botulism	bacteria	(foundmainly	in	improperly	canned	foods),	the
E.	coli
bacterium	(found	in	improperly
handled	meat	and	a	variety	of	other	foods)	and	others,	including	the	most
common	contaminations	from	staphylococcal	and	salmonella. Death	from	these
infective	pathogens	is	rare,	but	quite	common	is	the	exposure	to	low	levels	of
bacterial	toxins	present	in	foods,	particularly	animal	products. Always	smell
meat,	fish	and	poultry. A	rank,	fishy	or	rotten	scent	means	that	the	product	is	too
old	or	has	not	been	properly	stored;	bacteria	are	growing	and	producing	toxins,
and	the	oils	are	rancid	and	toxic. Never	eat	such	foods. Commercial	milk	products	are	contaminated	with	bacteria. Government
regulations	state	that	after	pasteurization	milk	should	contain	no	more	than
20,000	bacteria	per	milliliter. Out	of	twenty-five	milk	samples	analyzed	by
Consumer	Reports,
seven	samples	had	in	excess	of	130,000	bacteria	per
milliliter;	one	sample	had	almost	3,000,000;	and	other	samples	had	too	many
bacteria	to	count! When	you	consider	the	toxins	produced	by	these	bacteria,
combined	with	the	toxins	already	present	from	agricultural	and	industrial
sources,	why	would	anyone	still	believe	cow	milk	is	good	for	infants	and
children? Cynthia	and	Tom	were	familiar	with	the	problems	of	bacterial	contamination,
but	they,	like	most	people,	had	almost	no	knowledge	of	the	problems	with	mold. Not	that	mold	problems	are	new:	Stories	from	the	Middle	Ages	tell	of	whole
villages	racing	around	in	hallucinogenic	madness	after	being	poisoned	by	a	type
of	mold,	ergot,	that	grows	on	rye. Ergot	produces	a	neurotoxin	that	poisons	the
brain	and	central	nervous	system. These	sick	people	would	sometimes	go	to	a
local	monastery	where	the	monks	would	take	them	in	and	pray	for	them—and
they	would	be	cured! How? The	monasteries	were	built	on	better	land	at	the	tops
of	hills,	whereas	the	farmers	lived	in	the	lowlands. When	the	monks	harvested
their	grain	on	the	hills,	it	was	drier	than	the	farmers’	grain	in	the	wet	lowlands,
hence	less	moldy. When	the	sick	farmers	ate	uncontaminated	grains,	they
became	well. The	bizarre	behavior	of	children	in	Salem,	thought	to	be
witchcraft,	now	is	thought	to	have	been	cause	by	ergotism. Although	we	do	not
run	around	in	hallucinogenic	madness	today,	at	least	not	from	food	mold,	the
problem	of	mold	in	the	food	supply	persists. Molds	can	develop	if	crops	are	moist	when	harvested	or	stored. Food	often
spends	weeks	in	the	distribution	process	and	becomes	moldy	by	the	time	it
reaches	the	store,	even	if	it	was	not	contaminated	when	harvested. Food	has
further	opportunity	to	mold	in	your	kitchen. Fresh,	living	plants	protect
themselves	from	mold	growth	(just	as	we	humans	have	an	immune	system	to
protect	ourselves	from	disease),	but	as	food	ages	and	dies,	molds	grow. Peopleeat	these	moldy	foods	(especially	when	the	mold	is	not	visible),	unaware	of	the
toxic	loads	they	put	on	their	bodies. Worse,	many	people	have	become	allergic
to	molds,	causing	not	only	a	toxic	exposure	but	also	a	toxic	allergic	reaction. In
fact,	people	allergic	to	molds	are	often	fine	when	they	eat	a	freshly	harvested
berry	or	grape	but	suffer	an	allergic	reaction	when	eating	the	same	foods
purchased	in	a	grocery	store. If	you	believe	that	a	food	is	moldy,	do	not	smell	it. Inhaled	mold	causes	serious	health	problems. Wrap	the	suspect	food	and	dispose
of	it	carefully. Mycotoxins	(toxins	produced	by	molds)	can	injure	and	kill	cells,	and	they	are
known	causes	of	cancer,	especially	liver	cancer. Because	knowing	the	level	of
mold	contamination	in	a	particular	food	is	difficult,	the	best	approach	is	to	avoid
or	minimize	consumption	of	foods	prone	to	becoming	moldy,	such	as	corn,	nuts,
grapes,	raisins	and	all	dried	fruits,	berries,	beer	and	other	fermented	foods,	and
cheeses. Bottled	apple	juice	frequently	is	moldy. Apple	juice	drinkers	are	so
accustomed	to	its	taste	that	they	fail	to	recognize	the	presence	of	this	toxin. If	you	bite	into	a	nut	and	it	tastes	bad,	spit	it	out. It	is	toxic. If	there	is	any
visible	mold	on	any	part	of	a	food,	throw	the	entire	food	away. Don’t	just	cut	off
the	mold. When	a	mold	infection	takes	place,	foods	naturally	protect	themselves
by	producing	antimold	toxins	that	are	also	toxic	to	you. Antimold	toxins	are
produced	throughout	the	food,	not	just	the	part	you	cut	off. In	general,

forestation and orchard plantings by Nature and “Wise man. ”  Remineralizing new orchards and forests is crucial, as is remineralizing the existing acidified, impoverished late-interglacial forests. Evidence shows these forests are increasingly stressed and dying from insect and disease epidemics, climate extremes, and forest fires, thus transferring vast amounts of carbon 136
Fruiticulturefrom land to atmosphere. which brings on more climate extremes, more fires like those
which have been burning much of Southern California and the western US—in short, a cycle of degeneration calling for a generous response of regeneration. See how generos -
ity and regeneration are related. 4. Air Pollution/CO
2 Buildup/Climate Change/Famine
Soil remineralization and reforestation reverses the CO2 flow from soil and plant life. A
Fruitarian diet hugely reduces energy expenditure and CO2 emission by eliminating de -
mand for cooked foods, which also means elimination of demand for most refrigeration,
packaging, and, when we create fertile abundance in bioregions everywhere, most long-distance shipping of food, fiber, and fuel. Naturally, this is wholly preferable to ruining our global climate, whether by “global warming” or–as much evidence is warning us—by an accelerated onset of the next glacial cycle in our current Ice Age. 5. Fossil Fuel/Nuclear Energy AddictionSoil remineralization, a vital key to successful raw Fruiticulture, can enable us to grow
the biomass/alcohol fuels to meet the saner, reduced demands of a raw, vegan, health and peace-oriented culture. We can swiftly wean ourselves from our addictions to these ecologically-obsolete energy forms. Up to 2000 farmers per week have been going out of business in the U. S. over the past 30-plus years, while over a billion dollars per week is spent on oil imports. This is clearly a national and a global tragedy in need of immediate transformation. 6. Toxic WasteA committed, eco-conscious raw vegan lifestyle can minimize toxic waste beginning
now, and phase it out soon. As for existing toxic wastes (and human sewage which is now usually toxic), it has been demonstrated that their microbial decomposition and detoxification is possible, practical, and necessary. Here again, the generous feeding of mixed rock dust and organic matter to the microbes will help their proliferation and priceless foundational work. 7. Animal Exploitation/KillingWe can minimize the suffering of exploited animals quickly, and potentially end it en -
tirely, as worldwide compassion and the balance of nature is restored. To continue need -137

FruiticultureAppendix B
Earth Regeneration Centers
by Don Weaver
It was journalist/author Wes “Scoop” Nisker Who said:  “If you don’t like the news, go out
and make some of your own. ”
I say:  “If you don’t like the “mass media” news about ongoing local-and-global pollution,
soil erosion and deforestation, destructive weather and climate change, forced migra-tion, malnutrition, starvation, violent conflict, poverty, social and economic injustice, wars, etc., here is a “radical” (meaning “to the root”) idea: start an Earth Regeneration Center. ”
Regenerate: “To bring new and more vigorous life to (an area or institution);
revive. ”  That is one good short definition and can be applied to the environment, eco -
nomics, human mental-moral-physical-spiritual health, and so on. To start an Earth Regeneration Center, simply realize that you are one “center” of the
Universe and that “regeneration starts with me. ”  As we each willingly embrace the re -
sponsibility of living more regeneratively, we should see opportunities to extend our sphere of regeneration outward, to touch and help others do the same. That reminds me of the great saying: “The best exercise for the heart is reaching down and lifting others u p.”
I encourage you and others who wish to enjoy the regenerative life with you to find any
amount of land to work with and start a garden, remineralize and replen-ish the soil, and quickly find out how different you may feel when di-rectly eating fresh, min-eralized garden produce. 207
FruiticultureYou might learn that living a “garden-to-hand-to-
mouth” existence has been underrated! It’s a wonderfully enriching enterprise to engage
symbiotically with a living, verdant part of the Earth. You can start planting fruit and nut trees that are adapted to your climate zone. With a vari-ety of fruits, nuts, and succulent vegetables planted on generously rock-dusted and compost-enriched soil, you will be on your way to a great diet while regenerating the Earth within your caring reach. For those of us aspiring and able to create an Earth Regeneration Center that is a model for the world at large, some other key components could include:
 •  Tree and plant nurseries
 •  Greenhouse for propagation/production
 •  Rock grinder powered by wind, solar, or biofuels
 •  Complete composting systems including composting toilets
 •  “Green” building materials and integrated living/growing/recycling systems
 •  To honor the full human life-and-death cycle, where permitted, a green burial area in
a forest or re-forestation zone
 •  A comprehensive book and audio-visual library for all to learn from
 •  Farm tours and workshops
 •  Establishing a resear ch/testing lab alliance for testing soil and produce qualities as
remineralization and composting effects proceed
 •  Pond or lake creation where appropriate
 •  Establishing outdoor and indoor r ecreation and fitness facilities
 •  If more people continue to choose veganic growing and eating, there may be a need
for more animal sanctuaries on your land

Permaculture and intentional commu-nities are doing around the world, as well as David’s Hua Nui center that is planned to be an Earth Regeneration Center for the Hawaii bio-region, and invite mutual support with them. It would be great if some Earth
Regeneration Centers could be com-bined with a fasting/health Natural Hygiene Centers such as TrueNorth Health Center in Santa Rosa, California. Can you


 that is too cold is also Tamasic and weakens
the digestive fire. Rajasic foods cause hyperactivity and irritability,
increase toxins in the blood, and promote hypertension. They disturb the senses and cause the emotions to fluctu-
ate. Tamasic foods cause hypoactivity, lethargy, apathy,
excess sleep, accumulate phlegm and waste materials. They dull the senses and keep the emotions heavy and
resistant. Sattvic Diet with Diets for the Three Humors
Sattvic diet can be modified for best effect according to
the three biological humors of Vata, Pitta and Kapha. One
should follow the diet for one's constitutional type,
emphasizing those articles which are Sattvic and avoiding
those which are Rajasic or Tamasic.57 By combining a diet
for increasing Sattva along with one for reducing one's bio-
logical humor, diet becomes a powerful tool for improving
health. For specific psychological problems, more special-
ized diets may be prescribed. For specific information on
Sattvic food types, note the appendix. Herbs
Herbs are Mother Nature's primary medicine and carry
her healing energies to keep our system in balance. Ayurveda is primarily an herbal medicine. Ayurvedic
books explain herbal qualities and energetics in detail.5"
Here we will focus on how herbs can be used in a simple Outer Treatment Modalities
way relative to the mind. Herbs affect the mind more
directly than food, though they are milder and safer in
action than chemical drugs. They can be very important
tools for healing the mind. While all herbs have some
effect on the mind, certain herbs are nervines and possess a
special action on the brain and nervous system. Herbs work over a period of time, though shorter than
that of food. Up to one month may be necessary for the
effect of mild herbs to manifest, particularly those used for
their nutritive effect. The exception is strong stimulant
herbs (like cayenne or ma huang) which have an immedi-
ate effect. Herbs in Ayurvedic Psychology
Ayurveda's integral psychology stresses first of all
appropriate diet. On top of this, special herbs are helpful
if not indispensable. Diet has a general role and provides
the foundation on which herbs can work. Without the
proper diet, even the best herbs will be limited in what
they can do. Herbs are used for fine tuning diet and for
shorter, but stronger therapeutic actions?9 To understand
the Ayurvedic view, it is necessary to understand the
effects of the six tastes on the mind.6"
The Six Tastes and the Mind
Bitter Taste
Bitter taste is composed of air and ether elements,
which are the same elements as predominate in the mind. Bitter herbs open the mind, make consciousness more sen-
sitive, and increase its functional capacity. They have a
cooling, calming, detaching and expanding effect on the
mind. Ayurveda and the Mind
Those suffering from mental dullness, heaviness, heat
and toxicity should use more of the bitter taste. However,
bitter taste should not be used by those suffering from
hyperactivity, nervous exhaustion, debility or unground-
edness. It is more for short term usage or in small dosages. Typical Bitter Nervines include betony, chamomile, gotu
kola, hops, manduka pami, passion flower, and skullcap. Pungent Taste
Pungent or spicy taste is composed of fire and air ele-
ments and activates these in the mind. As the most fiery of
the tastes, pungent is best for increasing Tejas and intelli-
gence. Pungent herbs stimulate the mind and promote cir-
culation in the brain. They help develop clarity, perception
and reasoning ability. Pungent herbs are good for those suffering from men-
tal dullness, depression, congestion, and lack of motiva-
tion. They should generally be avoided by those suffering
from anger, insomnia, restlessness, or hyperactivity. They
often work better in combination with sweet tonics, which
ground and stabilize their effects. Most pungent herbs serve as nervine stimulants. Spicy
herbs open the mind and senses, clear the head and sinus-
es, relieve headache, muscle spasms and nerve pain. Some
are more specifically nervine than others, particularly
those that help clear the sinuses. Typical herbs of this type
include basil, bayberry, calamus, camphor, cardamom,
eucalyptus, hyssop, peppermint, pippali, rosemary, saffron,
sage, spearmint, thyme, and wintergreen. Though most pungent (spicy) herbs are stimulating, a
few are calming or sedative in nature. These are often
strong and earthy in taste. They are particularly good for
Vata. Such herbs are asafetida, garlic, jatamansi, nutmeg,
valerian, and lady's slipper. Outer Treatment Modalities 197
Classified within pungent taste are certain strong
nervine stimulants owing to the special alkaloids they con-
tain. These herbs help us stay awake and focused, but can
also irritate the nerves. They are useful in a limited way in
conditions of depression or dullness, but can aggravate
insomnia, restlessness and anxiety, or increase nervous
debility. Herbs in this category are coffee, damiana,
ephedra, ma huang, tea, and yohimbe. Sweet Taste
Sweet taste is composed of earth and water elements. It
is used for grounding, calming and nutritive purposes for
the mind and nerves, and can have rejuvenative effects. Such herbs are usually not strongly sweet in taste but only
mildly so. Those suffering from congestion or depression
should avoid sweet tonic nervines because these slow and
consolidate our energy. The most important tonic nervines
are ashwagandha, bala, vidari, gokshura, licorice, lotus
seeds, sesame seeds, shatavari, and zizyphus seeds. Salty Taste
Salty taste is composed of water and fire elements. This
gives it sedative and grounding properties. It is not a com-
mon herb taste but occurs in seaweeds and sea shells. It is
mainly used for conditions of nervous debility or hyperac-
tivity, which are primarily Vata conditions. Ayurveda con-
tains special preparations of various sea shells and coral. Calmative Nervine Salts and minerals include black salt,
conch shell powder (shankha bhasma), kelp, oyster shell
powder (mukti bhasma), pearl powder (moti bhasma), red
coral powder (praval bhasma), and rock salt. Ayurveda and the Mind
Astringent Taste
Astringent taste is composed of earth and air. It is lit-
tle used for nervine purposes but can help heal nerve tissue
and stop spasms. There are a few special nervines that help
calm and heal the mind. Such astringent nervines are bay-
berry, frankincense, haritaki, nutmeg, myrrh, and guggul. Sour Taste
Sour taste is composed of earth and fire. It is not much
used for nervine purposes but is a mild stimulant and can
help counter depression and dizziness. Sour substances like
vinegar and alcohol help extract the alkaloids in some
herbs and become the base of herbal wines and tinctures. Among sour nervines are amalaki, lime, tamarind, and
wine. Cleansing and Tonic Nervines
Herbs work as nutritive and cleansing agents on two
primary levels. Nutritive agents are tonics that build up
the tissues. These herbs contain mainly earth and water
elements, like food, but of a subtler or predigested type. Cleansing agents are detoxifiers that facilitate natural
cleansing processes, like sweating or urination. These
herbs usually predominate in fire, air and ether elements. The following are the main cleansing actions herbs can
have on the nervous system. Expectorants and Decongestants: These herbs clear
mucous (Kapha) from the head, which obstructs the func-
tioning of the brain and senses, help open the channels of
the nerves and sinuses and relieve pain. Such are bayberry,
calamus, camphor, cinnamon, eucalyptus, ginger, pepper-
mint, pippali, and wintergreen. Outer Treatment Modalities 199
Alternatives and Antipyretics: These promote blood
circulation, reduce heat and toxins from the brain. Such
herbs may also promote urination, which aids in cleansing
the nervous system through the blood. Typical herbs of
this type include gotu kola, manduka pami, passion
flower, sandalwood, skullcap, guggul, and myrrh. Sedatives: These possess specific anti-pain properties
and counter high Vata (air) conditions of insomnia, anxi-
ety, fear and pain. Typical of such herbs are asafetida, gar-
lic, jatamansi, lady's slipper, shankha push


 table. I felt terrible for her that she has had to
live her life like this. It is not fair, especially in today’ s society when
there is good dental care available. After dinner, I could not stop
thinking about her. I had no idea who she was, knew nothing about her
but I felt a need to help. I’m not sure why I was driven to help her
when we see people in need every day. I went home and meditated and came to the conclusion that I could
help. I was not able to af ford to pay for this myself but I knew of many
organizations that were available in our community that could helppeople like her. In fact, I have served on several boards and even knew
the people to contact. I thought she just did not have the connections. Now, my quandary was how to approach her to tell her I wanted to
help? I did not want to of fend her. I decided to write a letter and if she
responded I would go from there. I delivered the letter in person and
within five minutes I received a phone call from her. To make a long
story short, I promised her I would help her get new teeth at no cost to
her. I thought this was going to be simple! After making phone calls to: United W ay (no programs available
yet), the Community Health Department (no dentist available), the
Donated Dental Services Or ganization (there was a three year wait),
The Area Foundation (no funds were set aside for dental care), Social
Services and government programs (since she works full time she is
disqualified! ); I could not believe it, every door was closed!!! I called
several dentists and they wanted over $5,000.00 to do the work. I was
very discouraged but what was really bothering me was that I
promised this lady a new set of teeth. What was I going to do now? I went out to eat with my family (mom, dad, brothers and their
wives) and told them what had happened and asked their advice. They
all wrote checks that evening. I then called my dentist and he of fered
to donate $1500.00 towards her teeth if I could come up with
$3500.00. Done!!! Here is the article that was written about the lady, I
thought you would enjoy reading it. This is a real life example of bringing pardon to the presence of injury, and
having the injury dissolve. There is a saying, “When the student is ready,
the teacher will appear.” The reverse is also true: “When the teacher is
ready, the students will appear.” When you are living in spirit as a teacher of
spirit, seeking a spiritual solution to every problem, you will see your
students appear each and every day, and you will be directed to provide
pardon merely by getting out of the way of your ego and allowing spirit to
reign. Immerse yourself in the literatur e of healing rather than that of evil. Read
and listen to stories of miraculous cures, healings, positive ener gy, and the
glory of all that is right with the world. Expose yourself to expressions of
God’ s grace and man’ s potential for spiritual perfection. This will thenbecome your expectation for yourself as a channel of healing. Read the
lives of the saints and how they ef fected monumental change in the lives of
those they encountered, particularly the injured. W atch movies and
television shows which extol the virtues of man rather than the
shortcomings and evil intentions of humanity. Continuously reinforce in
yourself the idea that humanity is good, that the sick can be healed, that the
injured can be pardoned. There are a million acts of kindness for every act
of violence in the world. Do what you can to reinforce this truth. One small example of how this can bring healing came to me in a letter
from a woman in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, who had just read a book that I
had written with my wife, Marcelene. A Promise Is a Pr omise  is a true story
of unmatched unconditional love from Kaye O’Bara, a woman who has
cared for her comatose daughter for over thirty years in a spirit of service
and selfless love unlike any I’ve ever known. Barbara Binkley wrote the
following words to me; they are self-explanatory in the context of this
chapter on sowing pardon in the presence of injury. “I am now reading your book A Promise Is a Pr omise. This is an incredible
book so filled with love and miracles that I noticed after I had read some of
it that the pain in my left elbow that had troubled me daily since November
was gone. God bless Y ou, Barbara J. Binkley.” What a nice reminder of the
value to be found in reading inspiring stories. Take car e of the sick but be indiffer ent to the illness. Don’ t encourage injury
by providing extra special love and attention for the sickness. This applies
to the treatment of others as well as yourself. A void giving yourself and
others a reason to continue being sick. Don’ t make the occurrence of illness
the only time you give loving attention. Sickness and love can become
associated. When a person, particularly a child, wants love they erroneously
may think becoming sick is the way to get it. Take the view that the sickness itself is not real. It is not of God so
spiritually speaking it is unreal. T reat it just like you would treat any other
illusion, as something that really doesn’ t belong in your consciousness or
the consciousness of the injured. Become indif ferent to the illness itself.Reinforce the idea that the real you is not sick and that illness can disappear
as you realize that you don’ t want or deserve it. I find that people who experience a great deal of injury and illness in their
lives appear to enjoy continuously telling everyone about their maladies. When these people begin to tell me how proud they are of their maladies I
respond with indif ference to the sickness itself. “Y ou don’ t have to live with
this pain,” I suggest. “Y ou are stronger than any disease.” I do not give the
injury any credibility. I treat my family and myself in this way as well. I
have long noticed that in our family we rarely ever talk about being tired,
not feeling well, or feeling something “coming on.” My wife and I have just
naturally sent our children messages that they are more powerful than any
disease process. In other words we want our love to be more associated
with health, strength, and spiritual consciousness, than with being sick,
tired, or injured. When you stop reinforcing injury with love, and use your
love to reinforce pardoning, healing often replaces sickness quite quickly. Practice dir ecting healing ener gy. One way of sowing pardon in the
presence of injury is to view yourself as a disseminator of higher healing
energy. Consciously notice your breath and get some sense of your essential
self as pure awareness and ener gy expressed through your body/mind. Visualize placing this awareness in your heart and breathing gently into that
heart awareness. Then, see a gently flowing, loving stream of ener gy from
your heart to any physically or emotionally injured areas, of your own body
or to the body of another person. This process of visualization and directing ener gy can be very powerful. You are a system of higher/faster vibrations in which the work of your mind
is the precursor to material reality (as you think, so shall you be). Y ou can
access the harmonious living ener gy of your being through your
visualization ef forts, and feel that ener gy flowing toward and healing the
painful or injured area. Many books have been written on the amazing ability of the mind to
visualize and then transfer the inner image to material reality. Basketball
players learn to shoot free throws through this process of visualization, so
it’s not that great a stretch to see yourself using this technique to bringhealing ener gy to places that are wounded or diseased. I practice this
visualization technique with myself all the time. I have been able to move a
headache right out of my body by directing heart chakra ener gy to that area
of pain. You can do all of this if you become a person who is open to the idea of
being able to use their higher capacities to help restore the natural loving
harmony of the body. Keep beauty always near you and feel the healing power of God’ s natural
soothing, harmonious world. Allow yourself to fully experience and enjoy
flowers, sunsets and sunrises, mountains, beaches, and beautiful spiritual
literature. When in need of healing, I suggest you open yourself to
experience as much beautiful uplifting music as possible. And above all,
keep uppermost in mind the words of Peace Pilgrim, “Healing does not
always mean staying on the side of life. Sometimes God has other plans for
his children—and both sides of life are really one.”
Let go. Yes, that’ s correct, detach yourself from your thoughts of anger,
bitterness, self-pity, or whatever and just love your body as the temple that
God gave you to house your soul on this journey. The process of letting go
and refusing to harbor thoughts of illness will bring a calm healing ener gy
to you in the moment and this peace will be your reward for letting go. The use of the wor d pardon  by Saint Francis could also be construed to
imply the willingness

 For a thorough explanation of
this important subject, I highly recommend the book The
UltraMind Solution by Mark Hyman, M. D., published in
2008. Dr. Hyman explains that low levels of dopamine are
associated with problems of focusing and decreased energy. Low dopamine levels have been noted in people with
ADHD  and agitated depression—an observation that provides
a rationale for treating these conditions with drugs like Ritalin,
which is similar to adrenaline. Needless to say, I disagree with this approach, since, in my
view, these people already have too much adrenaline, which |   129 MANA gINg Ex CESS  ADRENALINE
may be suppressing their production of dopamine. If this is the
case, it would be better to lower the adrenaline level in order
to raise the dopamine level and improve the patient’s focus.<|eot_id|><|begin_of_text|>

About the Author
F O R E W O R D
This book provides a mechanism by which to unlock our innate capacities
for happiness, success, health, well-being, intuition, unconditional love,
beauty, inner peace, and creativity. These states and capacities are within all
of us. They do not depend on any outer circumstance or personal
characteristic; they do not require belief in any religious system. No single
group or system owns inner peace, as it belongs to the human spirit by
virtue of our origin. This is the universal message of every great teacher,
sage, and saint: “The kingdom of heaven is within you.” Dr. Hawkins says
frequently, “What you are seeking is not dif ferent from your very own
Self.”
How can something innate to us—part and parcel of our true being—be
so dif ficult to attain? Why all the unhappiness if we were endowed with
happiness? If the “kingdom of heaven” is within us, why do we often “feel
like hell”? How can we get free of the sludge of non-peace that makes our
journey to inner peace seem so arduous, like molasses running uphill on a
freezing cold day? It’ s nice to hear that peace, happiness, joy, love, and
success are intrinsic to our human spirit. But what about all of the anger,
sadness, despair, vanity, jealousy, anxieties, and daily little judgments that
muf fle the pristine sound


 itself—
dissolves in Universal Divinity, and no individual consciousness is left to
choose. The last step, then, is taken by God. —David R. HawkinsHay House T itles of Related Inter est

The Complete Guide To Urine Therapy
Coen van der kroon
U rine therapy -the drinking and external· application of one's own urine
as a healing agent -is an ancient Eastern tradition which is gaining
popularity in the West. Devotees, who include the acress Sarah Miles,
claim that it is the oldest of natural remedies and swear by its health-enhanc
ing properties. The venerable former prime minister of India, Morarji Desai -
who was 99 and in excellent health the author met him in 1994 -was open
about the fact that he drank a glassful of his own urine every day. It was while he was in India in 1990 that Coen van der Kroon was first given
the opportunity to experience the therapy's healing benfits first -hand, follow
ing an accident. Afterwards, he embarked on a long journey around the world
to research into its history, uses and efficacy. The Golden Fountain, the most
complete book to date on urine therapy, is the result of those wide -ranging
investigations. The author tackles his subject with sensitivity and conviction. He provides a
comprehensive overview of urine therapy's history throughout the world,
together with detailed case histories and a user-friendly guide to its practical
application in relation to specific ailments. Swami Pragyamurti Saraswati, a strong advocate of urine therapy who teach
es in London, has written an authoritative foreword to the book, while individ
ual accounts from people who have tried it and found it beneficial add a fasci
nating personal touch. As an intriguing do-it-yourself home treatment, urine therapy is often the sub
ject of lively debate, but there's one thing that everyone agrees upon-it's
absolutely free! Coen van der Kroon

 book can be applied. Just do your best, mama,
and that will be enough for your babe. According to Vedic philosophy, nothing can occur without the sanction
of God (you may also refer to God as your higher power, your Source, the
Divine, or whatever word or name resonates with your belief system). Everything that happens in your life, to you and around you, is a co-creation
between you and Source. Your life circumstances are created based on your
desires, your will and actions, and the sanction of the Creator. In your
motherhood journey, there may be circumstances that are challenging, and
you may question many aspects of yourself. Just know that these moments,
and all moments, are there for your soul evolution. Vedic philosophy says that in co-creation with the Supreme, a soul
chooses its next lifetime before taking birth. The soul knows who its family
will be, who its mother will be, and it knows what its major karmic lessons
will be in this lifetime. That means your baby chose you as its mother,
knowing exactly who you are and what life you will provide it in this world. The baby’ s soul chose you because it knows that your relationship with it,
and the life you provide for it, is exactly what the baby needs on its own
journey of soul evolution. So, mama, if you find yourself questioning your ability to be an
Ayurveda mama based on your external circumstances, your relationship,
your family, your lifestyle or home, the circumstances under which you
conceived, or any other doubts that come up along your motherhood
journey that make you feel “less than,” please know and remember that if
you picked up this book and are reading this right now, you are already an
Ayurveda mama. You are already setting the intention to mother with
awareness and consciousness. You are already creating a life of love andgood health for your baby, just with your intention and desire to better
yourself for them. You are doing a great job, and you will always be the
perfect mother for your babe. With love,
Krsna Jivani
Ayurvedic postpartum doula,
clinical herbalist, and mama
What if every child knew that they were wanted? What if,
from the onset of conception
your child’ s body was literally built in an environment
enveloped in love, care, and deep, deep nourishment? …their nervous system
built with the knowing  that they held value and worth
based on who they are. What if all of the children of the future never had to question
whether they were a burden? If they knew,
deep down on the cellular level,
that they were prayed for, welcomed, and carried with love. What if all mamas knew
that once the soul enters in,
she wraps that soul in matter
built by the food she consumes
through her eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin? …that this little soul’ s sense of Self
is built by its environment,
cultured by its surroundings,
including the mind and emotionsof the body that sustains it. If parents knew that for the first forty-two days after birth,
their little babe still does not yet know themself as separate. “I am my environment;
the sounds, the temperature, the mood, the emotions
continue to build my nervous system.”
What if their nervous systems were built on a foundation of
love? What if love was their North Star,
their “normal,”
that they always strived to come back to
when life seemed to throw them off course? Our past experiences build our foundation of “normal.”
Our early experiences shape what we seek in future
relationships. Whatever energy our nervous system was built on
creates a standard
that we return to again, and again, and again. Too many nervous systems are built with anxiety,
creating a fundamental experience of fear
that we create,
and re-create,
because it somehow reminds us of home. What if intention invited us,
love grew us,
and attention sustained us? What type of leaders would we raise? What quality of relationships would they experience? What injustice would they never settle for?How would they, then, raise their own little ones? What if we knew that how we speak to them
creates the standard of how they will one day speak to
themselves? What if we knew
that as we heal our past,
we give the opportunity for our little ones
to have a better future? What if we knew
to see the best in them, always? If only we knew
that they see themselves
through our eyes. OceanofPDF.comOceanofPDF.comOceanofPDF.comSIntroduction
Birth and infancy ar e beyond the conscious memory of most people. Yet, as primary experiences, they indir ectly pervade every aspect of
our being. —Anodea Judith, Eastern Body, Western Mind
There is no single effort mor e radical in its potential for saving the
world than a transformation of the way we raise our childr en. —Marianne Williamson
o much of the dysfunction in our world and in our relationships comes
from stories that we have built around our earliest experiences. At a
young age, we unconsciously created ways to cope with pain and trauma
when we did not yet have the skills to adapt. We have taken on shields of
armor that have found their home in our bodies and psyches and that now
govern the way we are in the world. This armor keeps us safe—or so we
think. Actually, this armor keeps us from meeting life authentically. It keeps
us from being able to love deeply and fully, feel deeply and fully, live
deeply and completely, with consciousness and intention. So much of the work of inviting a child into this world consciously is
becoming conscious yourself, healing your past and becoming aware of
what’ s driving you. When you can develop a healthy dialogue with the part
of yourself that feels broken, abandoned, or unworthy of love, you begin to
heal. As you become more conscious, you can invite a child into the world
consciously, and then raise a conscious little being who will not have to
spend their whole life healing the wounds from their past, unlearning what
they have learned from their unconscious parenting. I deeply believe that the glory of our future depends on the ways in
which we care for our children today, from preconception, to birth, andbeyond. While their first years do not necessarily determine a child’ s happiness
for their entire life, their rapidly growing brain during that time builds a
foundation for how they will communicate and interact with the world
based on how the world has responded to them. In a baby’ s first years of
life, cries are common signals for a caregiver ’s nurturing. The cycle
completes when the caregiver responds to the baby’ s crying by feeding
them, changing their diaper, or rocking them to sleep. Foundational beliefs
such as “the world is safe (or unsafe),” “I will be provided for (or there is
not enough to go around),” “I am enough (or I have to prove my worth),” “I
am supported (or I must do it all myself),” or “It is okay to ask for what I
need (or my needs will never be met)” are all created, subconsciously, based
on our environment and how our primary caregivers show up (or do not
show up) for us. Investing early in our children means not only giving them
food and clothes: it means giving them presence, security, attention, and
love. Yoga and Ayurveda teach us that experiences begin to imprint themselves
on the baby’ s mind and body during pregnancy. Based on the emotional,
spiritual, and physical environment within which the child is developing,
these impressions will either serve to uplift the child and create patterns of
harmony, trust, and connection or they will create patterns that will play
themselves out in the future through dysfunctional relationships, addictions,
violence, fear, and anxiety. Some babies are created in the context of challenging circumstances. Perhaps a mama has faced violence while the baby is growing in the womb,
or a baby has been unknowingly conceived and not initially wanted, or a
mama’ s needs have not been met. Left unaddressed, these experiences may
create a foundation for a baby’ s future built on the sense that they are not
safe, valuable, worthy, or deserving of love. Their nervous systems may be
built on a foundation of dis-ease or instability. But if you are reading thisbook, you are taking the necessary step to invite your little one into your
womb on purpose, and with utmost intention; you are demonstrating the
desire to establish a deep, fundamental, core belief within your child that
they are wanted and not a burden. If you cultivate their presence with love
and deep care while they are in your womb, their nervous system will be
soft and at ease. Ideally a mama will be nourished and supported throughout
pregnancy, which helps assure that the baby’ s mind and mood will be
stable. The more safe and secure you can feel in all aspects of your life, the
more your little one will feel that they too are at home. Although the mind may not remember, our bodies remember
everything. All of your past experiences are imprinted onto your nervous
system. Those experiences create fundamental belief systems about you and
your place in the world. If a child does not feel valued, they will be on the
quest to validate their value in their role or position. If they did not feel
worthy of love and attention, they may spend their entire
