Dear Jenifer,
Hello and welcome to the June 2012 Edition of
The Empowerment Journal for Holistic Living.
This month I'm offering ideas for a healthy
self-concept, foods for summer heat, two of my favorite
healthy hummus recipes and more. I hope you enjoy!
Thought I'd send this one a few days early as
sometimes it's hard to settle back into work after a
long weekend ;)
I wish you much love, joy and pleasant surprises.
Namaste (I see the light within you and I honor it),
Jenifer Shapiro, TEC Founder and Director

Astrocurrents for June! |

**********************
For the last few months, we have been in the
energies begun mostly at the vernal equinox
(March 19th, 2012). This energy was affected
further by various transits and in May we began
to feel subtle and powerful shifts as the
energies of the Venus retrograde combined with
the eclipse.
There are so many energies going on right now,
it took me some time to figure out how to
express what I'm seeing, I hope you find this
useful and clear.

The Power of Self-Concept |
|
|
|
**********************************
Self-concept is the image of ourselves that we
create in our mind and body. It's how
we perceive our strengths, weaknesses and
self-worth in relation to our world. We are not
born with our self-concept, we create it through
life experiences.
As we grow, through our experiences with our
parents, family members, friends, teachers, etc.
combined with the societal norms we accept, we
start to form the idea of who we are and who we
believe we should be in order to be safe, loved
and valued.

2 Recipes for Homemade Hummus |
|
|
|
**********************************
I admit it, as my friends and family know, I
love hummus!
For those with only a few minutes, enjoy a
quick homemade option.
For those with a taste for raw food and a bit
more time, I hope you enjoy my personal favorite
- sprouted hummus.

The Gift of Resting |
|
|
|
**********************************
We all get a little tired sometimes.
So often we are focused on lists of doing.
Grocery stores, taxes, etc. Rest is a very
important part of our lives and I believe, we
need to give it more respect.

Foods for Too Much Sun |

********************************
First, when you are spending a day outside,
HYDRATE and get emergency care when necessary.
This is information only and is not for
emergencies, it's to ensure you keep yourself
healthy.
Coconut water - I have personally found this a
powerful counter for dehydration.
Cucumber - In TCM - traditional Chinese medicine
cucumber energy is cold and bitter. This type of
energy can remove het and promote healthier
urination and release of toxins.
Watermelon - as I've stated in previous
articles, watermelon supports the lungs as well
as providing a unique blend of sugars to the
body for energy and cooling.
For those who can digest it, buttermilk has been
proven to be effective as well and is widely
used in other cultures.
