Since beginning the tonics, I've been eating much more mindfully. I have a different perspective on what I choose to put in my body. The tonics have really set a high bar for the frequency of foods I ingest. Low grade diet just doesn't feel good. Its a marked difference in frequency. Much more perceptable now. I ran out of tonic for a bit recently, and the first day without it I was extra hungry and couldn't seem to find the food to fill the void. This showed me the unique nutritional benefits received from the tonics that my body really craves. Many Gratitudes

Follow-up to yesterday's online workshop
Hi everyone,
Yesterday we had a very good online workshop that left me feeling inspired for all you are all doing and the commitment you each have made to yourselves. Very early in the morning I was awakened with a realization that there were perhaps a few people who needed a reminder after all we discussed yesterday, in regards to the discernment of who is a good candidate for these tonics and who is not.
Unfortunately we are not ALL candidates for taking Chinese Tonic herbs. This leaves a lot of people who may be on chemotherapy; taking drugs like coumadin, lupron, zoladex, avastin, tamoxifen, etc; pregnant; allergic to herbs; or for other reasons, can not take tonic herbs.
This does not mean that you have no tools to help these people! As a healer, you can effectively help any human being on the planet when you know how to work with plant medicines. These people are the best candidate for using vibrational remedies, flower essences, and homeopathically prepared essential oil remedies.
Most of you have a copy of my book, Aromatherapy Guide for Ascension, in which you will find the directions for making a homeopathic remedy. These remedies can help people in any condition improve their well-being, comfort level, and quality of life.
I am going to share a story about one individual with whom Michael and I had the gift of sharing plant medicines. He had been on Lupron, a drug that suppresses or slows the growth of prostate cancer. It is basically a drug to make life more comfortable, as most people that take it do not live beyond a few years.
When we first began to share with Weston (not his real name), we helped him change his diet so he was nourishing his body in a whole new way. He wanted to dive in and change everything, and being the healer I am, I am always so excited to push the limits, that I agreed to let him try an herbal tonic and see how he does on it. The tonic I gave him was the sort that I have given others who came to me to heal cancer without drugs; a combination of cleansing and rebuilding herbs, with several of the master herbs for cancer treatment. (I had no previous experience with lupron, so even though I knew what it did in the body, I did not know how it would work with the herbs.)
Next time I saw Weston, he told me that he could not take the herbal tonic. His body was so strong that it went immediately into a cleanse after just a few doses. He began to vomit, which is exactly what happens when the liver and gall bladder begin to dump toxicity faster than the eliminative organs can expel it. He went into detox, but was so uncomfortable that he could not complete the process. I do not blame him at all, as who wants to go through that? (Funny that we all expect that sort of withdrawal experience from heroine addiction or extreme alcoholism, but we never consider that the liver does the same thing when we go through pharmaceutical drug cleansing!).
Weston went on with life, eating a whole new diet, and believing that plant medicines could no longer work for him. Then one day I suggested flower essences to support his healing process, and he heard me. He took flower essences every day for many months, gradually resolving the fears and energy blockages that had been keeping him emotionally uncomfortable.
Weston has gone on with life, using the form of plant medicines that work for him. He has now been on lupron for over 8 years, has also had radiation, and is still living a joyful and productive life--being a Grandpa, husband, and father, gardening every summer, and just enjoying his life. My point is this: We are all here to play a different role--not everyone is here to heal the physical body in this lifetime. It is a choice that we make, and continue to commit to over and over again throughout life. And every role can include its own form of healing--every choice is valid. There are plant medicine tools to support every level of consciousness and every possible choice--to bring comfort, well-being, balance, and inner peace. This is the conscious purpose behind the gifts of the plant medicines.
I also wanted to offer a really great little insight that came today about He shou wu. Yesterday in the workshop, we talked about He shou wu and its regenerative properties for kidneys and adrenals. So many of us identified how wonderful this herb would be for us on a regular basis, and i kept thinking about how the Chinese masters talked about the tonic herbs being a food instead of a medicine.
This morning, I walked into my "new" kitchen area with the beautiful shelves filled with glass jars of herbs and spices, and I realized that I can tune in to a different channel more easily when I look at these herbs in my space. I tuned in and out came 3 really delicious ways to integrate He shou wu as a food into our diet. It involves making a powder out of the herb, blending it with other ingredients, and putting it in a shaker bottle to sprinkle on our food.
Michael and I sampled two of these with breakfast this morning, and I must say they are delicious! Here are the recipes for everyone to try--remember to use only dried He shou wu that has been properly prepared by cooking with black beans.
He Shou Wu Shake
Blend on high in the blender or vita-mix:
1/4 cup he shou wu
2 t. alaea salt or other natural salt
1/4 cup dried wakami seaweed
3 T. black sesame seeds
Cumin He Shou Wu
Blend on high in the blender or vita-mix:
1/4 cup he shou wu
2 t. alaea salt or other natural salt
1/4 cup cumin seeds
Balti He Shou Wu
Blend on high in the blender or vita-mix:
1/4 cup he shou wu
2 t. alaea salt or other natural salt
4 to 5 t. Penzey's Balti curry blend
Use these to sprinkle over foods in place of salt or other spices. You will love the way they taste--and the nourshiment they bring!
Many blessings to all! Kathryn

Happy 2012!
Some of us had our class with Kathryn today, and I realized I had not been on the Blog for quite some time. I found myself catching up on all the sharing. Thank you for keeping this going...
I wanted to share that I have been feeling quite different since the New Year arrived. Deep in my soul I can feel the shift that is going on within and around our world, within and between our souls, within and around the person that I AM. My soul has never been so excited for the upcoming year! While I have no idea what is to come - I just know it is going to be absolutely fabulous!
Am I feeling this because of the tonics? The colonics? The Flower Essences, Essential Oils and High Frequency foods? I feel that the answer is a resounding Yes! to all of the above. I AM so Great-Full for Each & Every one of you for being such a beautiful light in my life. I AM Thank-full for Kathryn and her beautiful teachings, and for Michael and all his Wisdom. I AM Excited to be Alive! and to be a Part of this wonderful Journey on Mother Earth.
Aho,

Busy, Busy, Busy....
I just wanted to check in with all of you. It's a busy time of year for me, and I am sure many of you. I wanted to say that although Kathryn said that it may take some time to notice a difference with these tonics, I notice. I ran out of my tonic and had to go two days before making the next and I can feel a huge difference in my mind, body and spirit. I am so grateful for the knowledge of creating them as I do not want to go another day without. It's truly food for life.
Love and gratitude,
Michelle

Thyroid question- reminder
Hi All,
Blessings for this time of thanks giving!
I have a question about tonics and cleansing process.
Kathryn can you remind me of what you said during the workshop about thyroid and managing a decrease in medication. You were speaking to Joni is I recall correctly.
Found out this morning that my thyroid which was over active with a certain amount of medication is now under balance with less medication. I am charting my next step to re-balance.
In other news. I helped Caleb(4 1/2) to dowse for herbs for his next tonic. Kathryn has been making them up until now. It was a neat experience. His yes and no are different from mine and I was teaching him how to hold the pendulum still to see what the response to a specific herb is. This is a challenge for little arms and hands. He had tasted a number of the herbs that were interesting to him.
I have never taught a little person to dowse before. Caleb's dowsing was corroborated by my own - for my own understanding and peace of Mommy-mind. His intention is that the tonic support his creativity and give him greater ease with responding to big emotions.
My husband is doing the same today. We may make their tonics tomorrow. In Divine Timing. Grateful for this unique and amazing opportunity.
