Dear All, It feels fitting to start this New Year in the Church of Love- an ancient wisdom of a landscape of united Œworship¹ showing us that although there...
Hi Simon and Jane I have been thinking about your idea of salt being yin/cooling. I think that anything taken to the excess can have similar effects - I am not...
Hi Zdenka I wouldn't worry too much - it sounds like it relates to his cold. If you put breastmilk into the corner of his eyes about 3 times a day, it should...
Hi Melanie, I do a similar exercise like that one, but I'm not that consistent with writing it down. Also, usually around New Years Eve or New Years Day we do...
