Continuing our Wellness Journey - Feeling
This week our journey focuses on Feeling, the 6th of 12 keys to wellness in
the Wellness Inventory. We experience feelings and emotions from well before the event of our birth. They can be intense, or frightening, or wonderful. They can also be the most misunderstood, and consequently
mistreated, gifts we have as human beings. We judge them, repress them, discount them, drug them, worship them, and run from them. Yet, what a bore to be without them! Life fully lived is life filled with feeling!

Raw Food Materia Medica - Summer Squash
There are a multitude of summer squash varieties that are closely related to the popular zucchini, including yellow squash, yellow crookneck, and pattypan squash. They are all in the gourd family, making them relatives of cucumber, pumpkin and watermelon. Summer squashes are alkaline, blood purifying, anti-inflammatory, and diuretic. They have been used to treat colitis, constipation, hypertension, indigestion, kidney and bladder disorders, obesity, and ulcers. Though less nutrient dense than the harder more orange colored winter squashes, summer squashes contain beta-carotene, folic acid, and vitamin C, calcium, and potassium.

agreement. The words and labels we learn to use come to identify who we are, what we do, how we do it, and how we relate to each other individually and collectively, and how we interact with to the environment. View more
