Oat Tart with Date Filling

Oat Tart with Date Filling
by Juliette de Bairacli Levy

Filling: Two pounds stoned dates, one orange, one lemon (small).
Grate the peels off the orange and lemon, then squeeze out all the juice. Pour the juice over the dates in a pan and heat over low heat for about ten minutes until the dates have softened. Now mix the grated peels into this and set aside to cool.

Oat crust: four ounces butter, one tablespoon maple syrup, one cup milk, two cups flaked oats, half cup flour, half cup sugar.
Melt the butter, then add the syrup and the milk. Mix the dry ingredients separately. Finally, add the two mixtures together, mixing very completely to prevent lumpiness.

Grease a round baking tin, spread the oat crust in the bottom and cook for about twenty minutes at 350°F until a light brown color. When semi-cooked take from oven, press up the sides of the crust with a spoon, to make a low wall for the date filling. Now add filling into the tart and bake for a further ten minutes.
When still warm and soft, cut up into triangular portions of the typical tart shape. Allow the tart to set before removing the portions from the baking tin.

Serenity Medicine to Remove Trauma

Serenity Medicine to Remove Trauma
For relieving both acute and chronic trauma.

excerpt from Abundantly Well: Seven Medicines

A woman injured in a car accident 25 years previously found it relieved her chronic pain. 
Someone who fell off a cliff remembered to do this and walked away without a bruise.
Repeat as often as desired.

Sit comfortably, with your back supported and upright.
Relax more and more with each breath. Be at ease. Sink.
Let go of your belly, your jaw, your throat. Relax more and more deeply with each breath. Be embraced.
Trust the breath. It is breathing you. Relinquish control.
Do nothing. Be vast. Be spacious.
Allow your mind to be open and soft. Recall the incident that traumatized you.
Focus on the impact. Remember the contact. The hard part.

Then, say: “I am made of atoms. Everything is made of atoms. Atoms are mostly empty space.
Emptiness impacted emptiness. Nothing hit nothing. Spaciousness invaded spaciousness.
I am untouched.
“I am spacious. I am serene. I am empty. I am spaciousness breathing spaciousness.
I am breath arising from nothing, and returning to nothing.
I am the vast open space of Nothing.”

Breath arises and passes away. Thoughts arise and pass away.
Sensations arise and pass away. Emotions arise and pass away.
Life itself arises and passes away.
Breathing in and breathing out. Arising and passing away.
Arising out of emptiness and passing into emptiness. Alive with emptiness.

When you are ready, stretch, yawn, and sigh.
Open your eyes.
Say your name out loud. Reenter the world.

Simple Green Pesto

Simple Green Pesto
excerpt from Abundantly Well: Seven Medicines.

This simple pesto has only four ingredients. It keeps up to three years in the refrigerator.
Pesto preserves the herbs antioxidant power.

Dandelion leaf pesto is bitter and tangy.
Chickweed pesto is mellow and grassy; use new growth.
Shiso or tulsi pesto is aromatic and romantic.
Garlic mustard pesto is bitter and spicy and delicious.
Garlic scape pesto is heaven on earth.

There are no specific amounts; use what is abundant.

Chop herb coarsely with a knife. Peel garlic and mince.
Half fill a mini-prep or blender with herb.
Add extra virgin olive oil to cover well.
Add minced garlic and some salt.
It is important to use salt. It acts as a preservative and it helps turn the green leaves into a paste (pesto).
Puree/blend well. Add more oil as needed.
Add more herb, more salt, and more garlic, too.
Pack almost to the top of a tall jar. Tap lightly to remove air bubbles.
Pour more olive oil over the top. Label on lid, refrigerate.

Make A Tincture/Fresh Herb

Make A Tincture/Fresh Herb

I use tinctures in varied doses, from several dropperfuls at a time, to only a few drops at a time. I take tonic tinctures daily. Others as needed.

Alcohol pulls out more poisonous constituents than water.
Tinctures are superior when made from fresh plants.

These tinctures require fresh plants, no exceptions.
* St. Joan’s wort flower means trouble for viruses and frowns.
* Poke root stirs up the lymphatic and immune systems.
* Bloodroot in tiny amounts counter periodontal disease.
* Motherwort calms anxiety, eases the heart.
* Skullcap eases pain and brings deep sleep.

Fill any size jar to the top with cut-up pieces of fresh, just harvested herb, then add 100-proof vodka, right to the top of the jar.
Lid well, label. Ready to use in six weeks.

Three Traditions of Healing

Three Traditions of Healing

There is more than choice between modern Western medicine and alternatives. There are three traditions of healing.

The Wise Woman tradition, focusing on integration and nourishment, and insisting on attention to uniqueness and holographic interconnectedness, is another choice: a new way that is also the most ancient healing way known. A way that follows a spiral path, a give-away dance of nourishment, change and self love. "Trust yourself."

Alternative health care practitioners usually think in the Heroic tradition: the way of the savior, a circular path of rules, punishment, and purification. "Trust me."

AMA-approved, legal, covered-by-insurance health care practitioners are trained to think in the Scientific tradition: walking the knife edge of keen intellect, the straight line of analytical thought, measuring and repeating. Excellent for fixing broken things. "Trust my machine."

The Scientific, Heroic, and Wise Woman traditions are ways of thinking, not ways of acting. Any practice, any technique, any substance can be used by a practitioner/helper in any of the three traditions. There are, for instance, herbalists, and midwives, and MDs in each tradition.

The practitioner and the practice are different. The same techniques, the same herbs are seen and used differently by a person thinking in Scientific, Heroic, or Wise Woman ways.

Thinking these ways does lead to a preference for certain cures. The Wise Woman helper frequently nourishes with herbs and words. The Heroic savior lays down the law to clean up your act fast. The Scientific technician is most at ease with laboratory tests and repeatable, predictable, reliable drugs. But still, the practices do not conclusively identify the practitioner as being in a particular tradition.

The intent, the thought behind the technique points to the tradition: scientific fixing, heroic elimination, or wise womanly digestion and integration.

You contain some aspects of each tradition. And the three traditions are not limited to the realm of healing. The Scientific, Heroic, and Wise Woman ways of thinking are found in politics, legal systems, religions, psychologies, teaching styles, economics. As the Wise Woman way becomes more clearly identified, it opens the way to an integrated, whole, sacred, peaceful global village, interactive with Gaia, mother, earth. As each discipline spins anew its wise woman thread, we reweave the web of interconnectedness with all beings.
