The Vegan Golden Milk - Anti-Inflammatory, Digestive, Lubricates the Joints...

This very tasty drink, is wonderful for the spine, lubricates the joints, cartilages, improves skin conditions (internal and external tissue) and helps to break up calcium deposits that form kidney or liver stones and most importantly, it improves immune function.

Turmeric contains curcumin, which has been used for its medicinal properties for ages, it aids to prevent inflammation, boost immunity, maintaining cholesterol levels, promoting digestive health, anti-cancer restoring oxidative stress and oxidation to the cells of the skin (the largest organ of the body), improves brain function and memory (neuron cell function and connectivity), and it can work as a detoxifier.

1/4 – 1/3 tsp. turmeric
1/3 cup water
8 oz. coconut or almond milk (or other milk that you like - rice or soy)
1 teaspoon of coconut oil
1 teaspoon of raw honey

- 1 tbsp. raw almond oil and 1 tbsp of sesame seed oil (a positive influence on blood glucose, hemoglobin, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant levels.)

- Honey to taste (make sure it is a good natural kind of honey.) You could also serve it with a little bit of cinnamon.

Preparation: Boil turmeric in water for about 5 minutes. Add the milk and the almond oil and heat it up for about two more minutes while mixing it well with a wood spoon. (Remember to be mind-full of your kind of energy when you cook because you pass that energy to the foods you prepare.) Remove from heat, let it rest for 10 min and add to the mix two tbsp of honey.

Refrigerate and drink it as many times as you wish (cold or hot.) We, yogis, drink this a lot to fortify, lubricate and make our joints more flexible.

Just remember that during Fall (Metal Element) and during the Winter (Water Element) season  water in our body may cause dampness.  In Traditional Chinese Medicine, dampness is considered to be the cause of many illnesses such as high cholesterol, cancer, metabolic disorders, chronic fatigue syndrome, allergies and environmental illness. For the sake of this discussion, only the symptoms of the aberrations of water metabolism will be considered. There are two general categories of dampness: external and internal. Internal dampness is the most common and easily will combine with heat or cold to cause damp-heat or damp-cold. Dampness can be thought of as the condition of "high humidity" inside the body. Symptoms can include a feeling of heaviness, swelling or water retention, distended abdomen, phlegm discharge, nodular masses, loose bowels and turbidity of fluids. Individuals with a dampness condition often have sluggish energy and easily gain weight.

Some symptoms of dampness in the body are:

• fatigue, body heaviness, sluggishness
• excess weight
• cysts, tumors
• yeast infections
• bloating and gas
• unclear thinking
• chronic sinus infections
• cloudy urine
• joint inflammation
• dry skin
• foul smelling stools

Tips for better nutrition:

Employ slow cooking methods that use lower temperatures for long periods
of time: roasting, baking, stewing and braising help extract the deeper "Chi"
or life force energy from our foods. This process doesn't "kill" food nutrients exposed
to high temperatures for long periods of time, while cooking them. :)

Please remember not to over-cook vegetables. Steam vegetables no longer than 7 to 8 minutes. Remember that we want to eat nutrition and energetically alive food.


The Sunshine Vitamin: expose yourself to 15 minutes of sunshine a day, without the use of sunscreen, especially before 12 noon and after 3:00 p.m. And remember to love everything and everyone. Otherwise I advice to take the Vitamin D3 as a supplement. 

I want to send a heartfelt thank you to all my yoga teachers,
also to all my Qi-Gong and Chinese Energy Medicine professors.
I do love them and appreciate their gifts, and all what they have helped me become throughout the years. :)
Sat Nam...  Namaste. 🙏💜

Love and light!

In My World... The One I Choose To Live In.

Design your better world with a youth-full heart...

I want to tell you a little bit about My Divine World, the one I choose to live IN.

In my world we live connected to the heart. In my world people practice ADMIRATION for one another. We love to live in COOPERATION.

In my world ALL Spiritual Humans are great miraculous light beings. Spirit has given birth to fantastic intelligent creatures to transcend Spirit into this time and space reality, our divine imagination, our heart, our inner and outer senses, our hands in motion, our fingers dancing our heart impulses... we are grace.

In my world energy money is given free as a match to our perception of self, our self-worth and self-love, and everybody has as much as they want... of everything. We live not to make money but to invest "energy money" as a resource to create our dreams. :) In my world all Spiritual Humans create "energy money" and "prosperity" with our choices of thoughts.

In my world Spirit gave us a body so we never be HOME-LESS, and Spirit gave us a heart so we never be HEART-LESS.

In my world people know that there is only a source of "light" and "darkness" is the absence of light.

In my world we dissolve fears by not giving power to doubt, but rather by empowering our capacity to live and to achieve our dreams. In my world we dissolve fear by living IN cooperation and love.

In my world everyday feels like Monday... new beginnings. We all-ways expect miracles on Mondays. We call them... The Magical Mondays and we, in our hearts, express gratitude to Mr. Sun, a bright light that shines for everyone. We begin the week with an optimistic mind, optimistic thoughts, positive emotions and a joy-full energy.

In my world we don't fight. We don't blend with the negative energy of violence, trickery or harm to achieve peace or freedom. In my world we know that to fight is to create negative energy, a false premise. In my world we Spiritual Humans are advance species and we know that when we choose to fight we become the energy that we fight. In my world, we rather create that which we want to live in. In my world we craft better worlds into being in cooperative. How could we have power when we choose to take action disconnected from our Source of Love?


In my world members of the Spiritual Human Species don't kill other members of the Spiritual Human Species and we are so famous in the entire cosmos because of our politeness and honorable ways that we use to treat one another.

The world I live IN is full of comics. We laugh a lot.

In my world jail is fear, it is not a place but a state of the mind and the soul. When we shift our thoughts and focus to acknowledge ACTIONS-IN-LOVE as healing "the cell" gets open. The same as poverty. Love is freedom.

In my world love doesn't know of lacks of, love doesn't use scare tactics. In my world every member of our civilization is taught that we are love. :)

In my world people know ALL animals, trees and flowers by their name. All life forms, all living beings are treated with reverence and profound respect, as cosmic miracles. In my world all living beings are a family.

In my world Elders are experienced Children and Children are Elders doing it all over again. Everyone lives IN love. Aging is a gift and a natural process of evolving and it has nothing to do with deterioration or loss. In my world Aging is appreciated and a subject of celebration.

In my world we don't work, we only PLAY. In my world we relax and create.

In my world there is not dead, instead what is known as dead is a HAPPY GRADUATION. We can not end energy, only evolve it.

In my world everyone ice skate or roller skate. We learn it since we are 4 and when we turn 12 we learn how to fly.

In my world every living being vibrates its own music... the music of their heart. Even an asparagus has its own music. In my world we cultivate silence to listen. We listen without judgement or interruptions. :)

In my world all beings know that their health and happiness is all self-created and their choice.

In my world we don't explain LOVE, we don't label LOVE. We know that LOVE is conditions-free. In my world we give birth to love with our heart and we live to love.

In my world every street has a freezer or cooler with organic ice cream of all flavors. The machine only dispenses ice cream when the person says the magic code words... "Life is Fun!"

In my world we learn how to visualize and empower our many possible worlds, the ones we create using our IMAGINATION and our HEARTS. In my world we teach people that they can create their own lives, being their own source of power and creativity. In my world there is no poverty. In my world we model the focus of attention and intention on those ideas and dreams for a better world, a better life. In my world all schools teach and encourage students and community members to journal and to write their ideas and dreams for a better life.

In my world we forgive because we are beings of love. Forgive to be happy. :)

In my world people sing songs to plants and wave at the Moon and to Constellations every night. In my world all members of the Spiritual Human Species know that we are cosmic beings.

I can tell you more about My Divine World, the one I choose to live IN. Perhaps you already know that you too live in your own world, the one you choose to live IN. You can always choose to live in a better world. :)

My Friend Holly And Our Divine Travels

Dear Tourist and Travelers and Small Tourist and Travelers:

I have a friend that I would like to introduce to you, his name is Holly.
Holly is an Oak Tree that has been living in God Mother Earth, The Planet Of Peace for 169 years. Holly and I met ten years ago and soon Holly became my favorite energy healing place; to give Holly a hug, to meditate and day dream and to eat my picnic lunch along with Joy, our Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. :)

I learned how to climb unto trees when I was 3 years old. I loved it because for some reason to rest in the arms of a tree gave me so much peace and allowed me to connect with my formless self. When I was a child I used to dream of having a tree house and I thought that it was a place where I could be myself, a being not judged living closer to the sky among trees.

When I met Holly it was like love at first sight and felt that Holly was speaking to me, as trees do. But when I met Holly it was like being with a soul mate and feeling so comfortable that I didn't notice that instead of two beings there was only ONE. I used to keep a sketching notebook and color pencils in a back pack and brought them with me when I climbed up trees as a child. I soon learned that I needed to paint my dreams just as I was "cooking them" and that's all that needed to happen to ask the Universe to conspire with me in their creation. Holly was always very supportive of my dreams and helped me give birth to them in my paintings. We have had the most interesting conversations. Holly's energy is very gentle and wise and it always seems to have time to talk with me when I visit him. At times Holly says "Well, I'll get back to you on that one" and he does. I must say that Holly has a great memory.

I moved Holly to a National Park because I wasn't able to keep him with me when I moved to a new home. I miss him a lot but when Joy and I have time we come over to visit Holly and have our picnics together.

1. Some people has asked me; how do you talk to trees? Well, I just do, even when I am not present or next to them. Time and place reality are only illusions in the matters of the heart. :) In preparation to talk with Holly and other plants, first I take a few slow but long relaxing breaths to bring myself back home so to speak, meaning, focus my attention to my whole being away from all other thoughts and distractions. I take four deep breaths and feel all parts of my body getting calm.  2. When I visit Holly I don't wear shoes or jewelry and when I feel ready and calm I give Holly a huge hug and ask him for permission to climb up to him and to open our hearts for a talk. Then I hear in my center (my heart), not my mind, I hear a voice that says, welcome dear one and Holly giggles... yes, Holly giggles a lot.

I have played different kinds of music to Holly and he has narrowed them to a couple of favorite songs and the rest are instrumental melodies. But I have found that music helps us connect at other levels. We both listen to the music and between notes we listen to one another. :)

By the way, I want to make sure that the readers understand that when I say "conversations" with Holly, it doesn't mean that Holly speak English... rather the heart has a capacity to translate the waves of our heart into information that our brain can perceive and recognize. All living beings are in constant communication with all other beings and each person perceives those waves with our heart. And, yes, all living beings like the ocean, stars, dogs and Spiritual Humans speak and communicate from their hearts.

Well, I hope to tell you more about one of my projects with Holly. We are writing a book about conversations and sketches of our Divine Travels. One of my favorites is when we traveled outside the energy of Earth, The Planet of Peace and sit at one of the stars in the Universe to watch souls with their suitcases go from planet to planet to continue their journeys. It is really fun, like being at a train station. Spiritual Humans are immense and eternal and what we know as death in our planet Earth seems to be a happy graduation to continue evolving. Holly believes that humanity is ready to hear about our Divine Travels and I do too. I do love when people come to me to let me know about their heart's desires and dreams and always inspire them to dream them into being, to write and paint them as they see their dreams with their hearts.

... to be continue :)

The most wonder-full Divine Travels can be experienced when we allow ourselves to go beyond our own self-imposed limitations. :)


Do you communicate with other beings? Do you talk with trees? Do you keep a journal of your Divine Travels? How do you empower your dreams? The Environment is our extended body; how do you acknowledge this spiritual integration?

I love you, I do.

The Room That No One Talks About....

There’s a room in almost everyone's home, but this room is hardly mentioned. None of my Feng Shui books mention it either. And if you were to look at the blueprint of any home, you would not be able to find it anywhere. Yes, this may be the room that no too many people talk about. The strange thing is that everyone I know has it, including myself, and you – yes, you over there too – and you, you too have one, I am almost sure of it. And you go there often, yes, you do.

Hmm! This room has a name, though. I’ve heard it talked about in hush-hush circles... it does exist. Yep.. It’s called The Room Of Possibilities.
I don’t know what yours looks like but my Room of Possibilities in my home is the largest room of all. It is strewn along with a poster board I call The Wall of Possibilities, a place where I can design my dreams, cultivate my inner realities, a place where I get into me.

This Room is a place where I keep all my possible SUBJECTIVE REALITIES... coking them into being as a gain clarity and such. It is like my sort of personal INNER SELF workshop area. :)

What else do I have in my Room Of Possibilities, well I have water, journals, books, mirrors, color paper, my favorite kind of music, more water, my altar, candles, glue, scissors, an erasable board, sketching notebooks, hats, candles, a big window to talk to Mr. Sun or The White Lady, I too have "magic dots", I have tons of magic dots and I use them to connect what is into me. I have photos of light beings that have inspired me, more water, a corner with suspended possible worlds hanging on threads I have made of paper as I think them into being, I have a large pillow, lots of room to play and magic boxes... Oh, yes... magic boxes. I place my dreams and heart's desires inside these magic boxes as incubating dreams and close my eyes as I think them into being. :)

Depending on the day, the room may feel like the size of a closet and it means that I have to work on my energy and reconnect. The Room may also feel like the size of a huge mansion with large gardens and I can wonder about and get lost for hours or even for  days in "there."  This space inspires me. I can choose my life and ways I am going to live it.  The Room Of Possibilities is too a rehearsal room.  Just wondering if you have thought about this... can you rehearsal your life in this precious planet Earth before it happens? 

Oh, this is very important... no one except me enters to this Room. I can focus, connect with self and empower my dreams and choices. Would I still thrive without this Room? I personally don't think so because I need "the space" and "silence" to be with my self, gather my thoughts, balance and cultivate energy, gain perspectives or simply imagine my other possible selves.  Yes, because we light beings incarnated in a humanoi form are always in state of becoming...

There are two posters hanging at the entrance of this room that read; "The crafting of my happiness" and "My story, My Life written by me." Although this Room seems to be a fun and favorite place to be, there is some sort of sacred ritual about it... Hmm! I always seem to know, intuitively, after I’ve been in the Room for a while, that I’ve been there long enough, and that it is time to stand up, take my leave, and politely reenter my world as I know it. Yep... The Room Of Possibilities does exist within myself, beyond my imagination. :)

I craft my subjective life into being and there are many subjective possibilities for me to consider them.  I welcome and interact with other “worlds.” In my world everyone is a teacher and a student. We all have something to teach and we all have something to learn. In physical I can re train my brain with new sets of associative networks, brain cells or neurons with new sets of instructors and believes of what is important to me of what I give value to it. I can create better habits of thoughts and better habits of emotions. :)

What about you... Do you have a room similar to The Room Of Possibilities?
 What does your Room looks like? What's in it? How often do you take time to de-clutter it, to be in this room? 
Is the space you live IN, your home, telling you something about the energy within you? Is your mental and emotional body suggesting that it is time to create your personal workshop area, a space within with a vision and an intention to cultivate you, to re-connect, to work on your own betterment?

I must tell you too about the Blue Magic Carpet that is my best friend, this is the portal to my inner realities and it takes me to the formless creations I am cooking into being.  Blue is the color of the Throat Chakra, the color of self creation... my Etheric self that holds the blue print of our phsyical body, our creative potential. :)

Our energy goes on beyond our "skin." The layers of our human energy field carry the intention and the blueprint of what we have become so far; what we manifest and of what is being evolved into being. The separation between the bodies that form our whole being is only an illusion. Our aura or human energy field is actually composed of; the Etheric body, the mental body, the emotional body, the astral body, the conceptual body and the celestial and soul body. The  conceptual self is our perception of self, of our self-esteem and self-love. These are the first seven layers of our light body.

It is interesting to begin to become aware of the vision that you have of your self and your life? Your beliefs...

Have fun crafting, experiencing and shaping your Room Of Possibilities  Shush... don’t tell anyone about this. It is your secret. Did you hear that soft swishing... that’s the invisible door of my Room. It is time again... must go now... :)

Love and light!
Katherine :)
