Back Home and Reflecting on a Wonderful Summer! I’m finally back home after a whirlwind of a summer! It’s been such a joy visiting friends and family across Europe and the US. Our adventures took us from the comforting familiarity of home to extended stays in upstate NY and Boston, filled with everything from babysitting to exploring nature and delving into museums in Cambridge and Boston. Upon our return from Europe, we were welcomed by a sea of Tulsi and Echinacea in our garden. I’ve never seen so much Tulsi before! While I’m excited about brewing teas, I have to admit I only enjoy Tulsi tea with honey. My favorite way to use Tulsi, however, is by adding its leaves and blossoms to my homegrown heirloom tomatoes and lettuce. I’m also experimenting with making tinctures and freezing the leaves in oil to preserve their aroma for winter stews and soups. The possibilities are endless! Tulsi now finds its way into almost every meal and salad. 😊 Here’s a bit more about Tulsi, also known as Sacred Holy Basil or Ocimum sanctum, often referred to as the Mother of Medicine. This ancient herb, revered in Ayurvedic practices and Eastern and Western herbology, has been used for centuries in sacred rituals and for its therapeutic benefits. Tulsi’s different species can vary depending on climate, nourishment, and soil conditions. Tulsi is rich in Sattva, which imparts lightness and spiritual clarity. It’s excellent for alleviating the discomfort of fevers, coughs, and colds. By increasing lung capacity and clearing dampness and toxic Ama, Tulsi supports overall vitality. Its aromatic pungency boosts appetite and aids digestion by promoting the smooth movement of Vata through the intestines. The herb’s chemical and nutritional profile includes alkaloids, fats, carbohydrates, proteins, glycosides, phenols, saponins, tannins, and terpenes. Notably, its key pharmacological components—eugenol, methyleugenol, carvacrol, and limatrol—provide uplifting energy without caffeine. Tulsi is also a valuable nutritional supplement, offering Vitamin A, Vitamin C, minerals, flavonoids, and fatty acids. There’s so much more to explore about Tulsi, but I mainly adore its aromatic and harmonizing benefits. Last night, I enjoyed another delicious salad made entirely from my garden’s bounty! Wishing you a wonderful end of your summer. I’ll be in touch again soon! Much Love, Hannelore Fresh from the garden with Balsamico and oil. :)
Hello Yoga Friends! Greetings from Budapest! We're currently enjoying a scenic river cruise along the Danube, starting from Passau and making our way through Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava, Dürnstein, and back to Passau. This journey holds a special significance as we're joined by dear friends whom we've known since 1978 when our children were babies. Together, we navigated the joys of parenting around Munich, shared memorable playgroups, bowling nights, and cherished dinners. Exploring these charming cities, steeped in history and adorned with palaces, churches, and gardens, has been a delight. As we immerse ourselves in their stories, we're reminded of the beauty of friendship and shared experiences. Wishing you all a wonderful summer ahead! Stay tuned for upcoming activities in Yoga, Ayurveda, and Hypnotherapy after the break. With Love, Hannelore Dear Yoga friends,
Spring has arrived early this year, bringing with it the delightful signs of nature's awakening: the melting ice on the lake, the softening soil, and the promise of fresh greens emerging from the earth. Just as the world around us stirs to life, I am excited to invigorate our spirits with some new activities. I'm thrilled to announce a special offering: a FREE "MEDITATION FOR HEALING" session on WEDNESDAY, MARCH 20, at 5:00 PM, accessible online via Zoom. Join me in this transformative practice as we embark on a journey towards healing and self-discovery. Following this session, there will be a follow-up Meditation on March 27 at the same time. Whether it maintains a similar format or addresses specific themes tailored to YOUR needs, the choice is yours! Drawing from my training and certification in Hypnotherapy with the renowned Paul McKenna in London, UK, I am committed to creating a supportive space for your growth and well-being. If you're interested in participating, please reach out to me via email to secure your spot. With much love, Hannelore Greetings, dear Yoga enthusiasts!
I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all of you for inquiring about my well-being. I'm pleased to share that my healing journey is progressing well. Learning to embrace patience and self-care has been a transformative experience. The shoulder surgery went smoothly, and I've bid farewell to stitches after just a week. Physical therapy, though challenging, necessitated the return of ice packs. On a positive note, the cast on my leg has been removed, allowing for much-needed restful sleep – a relief indeed! In my quest for accelerated healing, I've incorporated new elements. Alongside Reiki, I've explored OrthoLazer therapy, an infrared healing laser that appears to alleviate pain and swelling. Additionally, I've embarked on a cleansing regimen. Beyond my cherished Kitchari meals, my diet now includes double servings of veggies, ample warm/hot water, and focused deep-breathing exercises to invigorate my energy. A delightful addition to my routine is a morning green drink – a delicious concoction that I affectionately call "Green Coffee" for its energy-boosting properties. This week, I've excluded sugars, opting for a morning feast of fruits followed by the invigorating green smoothie. I recommend waiting 30 minutes before indulging in carbs or protein for a wholesome breakfast. For the first two weeks, the smoothie comprises:
Feel free to experiment with the ingredients and savor the experience. If you're an Annual member with access to all recordings, explore the Kitchari cleanse and pair it with this smoothie at ROOM TEMPERATURE!
