“Our cells are constantly eavesdropping in on our thoughts and being changed by them… A remembered stress, which is only a wisp of thought, releases the same flood of destructive hormones as the stress itself.”
-Deepak Chopra, MD
My newest venture in energy work is reiki. This past weekend, I became attuned to reiki level I. I’m going to sprinkle some reiki theory and tidbits into my writing here on agad… because I think it is amazing, and also because I think that it fits in nicely with macrobiotics. A big part of macrobiotics is respecting and recognizing the energy in our food, and how those respective energies affect our bodies when we put the food in them. Reiki is about the energy of our bodies and our chakras, and healing.
I am pleased – no, proud – to announce that the cauliflower you see here lives in my garden. I planted it as a small seedling in November, watered it, worried about its crooked stem, covered it with a bed sheet on cold nights and now, 2 months later this golden orb of a vegetable is my reward. 
Greetings, friends! It has been too long. Thank you for your patience in my haphazard 6 weeks which didn’t seem to include posting on AGAD. I hope that you found whole grains to fill your bellies and great company to warm your souls during the holidays.
