In support of to empower choosing and using a predominance of natural plant-based nourishment.

AYURVEDA
I appreciate and celebrate “our daily herbs” for the holistic, medicinal nutrition they provide. Pictured here from my family’s autumn garden are borage, sage, bay leaf, aloe vera, peppermint geranium, rosemary, lemon balm, Tulsi, echinacea, comfrey, flat leaf parsley, mint, peppermint, Baby Sun Rose, Gotu Kola, thyme, curly leaf parsley, marjoram, winter savory. I use them all in various ways for either food, herbal tea, topical medicine, or beautifying our house and garden. Variety for permaculture reasons offers balance and interwoven relationship and support of our ornamental and food plants. Herbs and medicinal plants should be used carefully with knowledge and intention, although some culinary herbs such as parsley, thyme, and marjoram are okay used in quantity. I find sage is good used in a steam bowl for cool weather nasal and lung congestion. Herbs are powerful allies for our holistic health and we can appreciate and use them simply, including to nourish our senses and use them as a cut plant in a vase (like I do with lemon balm to lift my mood indoors).

JYOTISH
FULL MOON in Virgo (Hasta Nakshatra)
For me, this full moon is all about nurturing our children to flourish by their own nature, in nature’s time. The Sun opposite in Revati Nakshatra illuminates family patterns and we are reminded of our responsibility as parents to uphold every life to be strong in our embodied, natural intelligence as we are each gifted with through our ancestral lineages. Devotion in tangible, earthly ways to intelligently create spirit in form is the high vocation of Virgo people. Paying attention to details and being astute to take initiative and skilfully craft our life through our hands, is what Hasta Nakshatra is all about. I celebrate and honour those individuals within my family who are gifted with these aspects to their nature.

FULL MOON is a time for simple celebration of all that is full and abundant in our life. What rises to the surface is easier to notice for our inner and outer tending.

A MOTHER'S REFLECTIONS
I have only to sit in silence with myself, be present in my body, feel my pulse, breathe in and out to realise that Life and Nature keep my heart beating and my lungs breathing. I trust my life’s inspiration of sense and feeling to do what is essential and possible for me. I support and nourish others to do what is essential and possible for them also, with the conscious awareness that what is healing for one nature may be harmful to another. This is what I have learnt from my lived experience as a daughter, sister, wife, mother.

NEW MOON is a time to be quietly present with ourself to empty, release, clear, and restore our inner space and feeling. We can use our mind to hear our heart and soul's knowing, open to receive what is truly nourishing for our nature, and focus our own love and strength to actively craft our life with devotion.

JYOTISH
This new Moon and emotional low tide lays bare our conscience to take care of Life and Nature on Earth, including our human-collective-family as one part of the greater Nature. We are called to remember that we share our common ground of elemental, energetic existence. We cannot afford to prop up our individual spirit of self-interest and ego desire or disrespect individual and collective boundaries. We must remember Life is not all about us.

My quiet, sacred intention is to "walk the Earth lightly" and take care of life, my own and others I am responsible for and to.

AYURVEDA
Love is in the details, and Nature surely nourishes us when we create with her in balanced, sacred partnership and abide by natural law. I grow what food I can and store a little rainwater to help water our garden because chemicals, preservatives, additives, and colours on and in food and water undermine my own and my family's health. These photos reflect what my family is nourishing ourselves with at present from both homegrown and bought food. We have entered Autumn here and conditions are cooling down while we still enjoy a bit of warmth.

I PROVIDE SUPPORT
for Self-Awareness, Self-Care, and Self-Expression. And nourishing diversity within wholeness of family.

TUESDAY'S THOUGHTS

As a mother, I find solace in my small garden to breathe, restore, and be nourished using my five senses. I feel fortunate to have a small town garden, and I try to make the most of it to support my simple life-rhythm to care for myself and my family.

Making quiet spaces within the flow of my day is essential. Running my healing service-business from home while supporting my 17-year-old's Year 11 homeschooling requires calm self-management and intentional balance with my receiving and giving of my energy. I have to be aware of my natural limitation and possibility.

As a life-partner and mother, I find that cooperation rather than compromise is key. My experience is that it speaks to each individual's core healing and inner harmony when we can be our whole true nature and contribute our strengths as part of our family wholeness. In this reality, I consider each as being no greater or less than another, and I nourish self and others to be strong and self-responsible in our self-care and self-expression.

I begin and end each day either in my garden or taking a simple, short walk in the fresh air to notice life and nature around me. Inspiration is never far away to uplift and broaden my perspective and humble me. I listen within to my wise sense-of-self and conscience for wholeness. I am always grateful that it is not just me and my natural skills, but that I am fortunate to share my life with other loving, skilful people.

These photos are of my early autumn garden harvest today. And my plate of vegetarian lunch including homegrown avocado, sorrell, and chilli with local store-bought seasonal veg.

I encourage you to grow your own chemical-free vegetable, fruit, and flowers in the soil, water, and sunshine that are available to you; even if it is only a small pot of herbs. It is worth it in SO many ways.

RECEIVE SUPPORT FOR YOUR SELF-AWARENESS AND SIMPLE, SACRED LIVING, and nourishing diversity within the wholeness of your family.

UNDERSTANDING OUR OWN NATURE is a compassionate, practical way to lead our own life of well-being. What is healing and possible for one nature may be harmful to another, and no-one else can know how we experience life from within our own body, mind, and heart. We might find it hard to articulate our needs. Or, we might voice what we feel and need but others might dismiss, ignore, or not hear us.

It is of greater assurance to know and accept the truth of our own nature with its limitation and possibility. This empowers us to take our own action to choose our healing daily inputs, digestion, and use of energy.

I have found Ayurveda with Jyotish to be truthful, compassionate tools for my self-awareness and simple life-rhythm. They have been especially helpful for understanding my children’s natures as distinct from my own and my husband’s. They have helped us solve digestive, behavioural, and life-focus problems. That is why I share these teachings with others so you can benefit from them also.

BRINGING BALANCE TO INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE NEEDS

JYOTISH
At this FULL MOON in Leo (Purva Phalguni) it is an important time to cultivate integrity in our sacred partnerships, especially where children are concerned. We can notice what is healing and possible for us to take action on, while supporting our loved ones to do the same. We can be responsible for what we choose and make personal effort to create in our life, with peace and intention.

AYURVEDA
It is early autumn here, and I am grateful for the growing abundance of figs in our garden. These are a sattvic food, supporting balanced digestion with elements of earth and air and tastes of sweet and astringent. Figs can be used as both a sweet and savoury accompaniment, best eaten ripe, just as they are off the tree.

AT A MOTHER'S SELF-AWARENESS, I help individuals turn self-doubt into unwavering trust. This is a gentle, supportive listening and conversation space for you to be seen, heard, understood, and empowered in your wholeness of body, mind, and spirit. I help you listen within to your true needs, lead your life of balance, and speak for yourself. And nourish your child's wholeness as distinct from your own.

In Rhythm with Wax and Wane ...

JYOTISH
New Moon in Aquarius (Dhanishta Nakshatra).
17th February, Melbourne, VIC, Australia

At this low inner tide it is good to take some time to rest and restore. We can give ourself the gift of quiet presence to listen within to our conscience and feel our inner convictions. We might ask ourself: How do I need to channel my energy? What needs my strength, courage, and love? What do I need to accept and let go of? What is truly worth repurposing and refining?

AYURVEDA
We are experiencing dynamic weather conditions here with hot and cool temperatures. It is generally dry with an inkling of humidity. I am paying attention to what needs water and nourishment to flourish in the coming cycle, while reorganising with conscience and clarity. Light, warm, unctuous food with cleansing bitter and astringent taste is balancing right now. And I feel the need to stay present and grounded in my body and nature, and keep my power of attention.

My youngest child has turned 17 so I am gently redirecting my time and energy while being wholly present when needed. It takes a while to redirect my emotional energy and open my heart to include and support inner care for others.

INNER HARMONY AND LIFE-FOCUS
At Blue Sparrow Ayurveda, we use Ayurveda with Jyotish as a holistic scaffold for your objective awareness and compassionate self-inquiry. I provide a gentle, supportive space for you to be seen, heard, understood, and empowered in your nature of love, strength, and purpose. We focus on your self-awareness, self-care, and self-expression. This supports your inner harmony and life-focus, and helps you nourish the diversity of natures within the wholeness of your family.

In support of Josey Crane Burrows'

AYURVEDA:
It is early autumn here, with dynamic temperatures transitioning from hot to cool. This is a temperate, fertile region and so we see dry, brown expanses amongst green. Crepe myrtle is flowering, roses are blooming, and our mandarin tree is budding even though the earth feels dry to touch. Our plumb tree is abundant with fruit, and nets are not stopping other nature from taking their share, causing my husband to harvest fruit to make jam and sauce. Plumbs reflect seasonal predominance of sour taste with Earth and Fire elements. Although a fruit not a vegetable, we can use plumb in many ways including as a chutney for delicious accompaniment to a vegetarian meal. We can balance sour inputs with sweet, nourishing qualities and moderate tonics of pungent, salty, astringent, and bitter tastes.

JYOTISH:
Honouring this Ashleshan Full Moon in Cancer and our deep sensing of the Earth; our ability to directly observe, and experience through our five senses – our natural feedback system that shows us what is good and not good for us. We would not abdicate our own sensory intelligence or cloud it with intellectual ideas, opinions, attitudes, judgements, or beliefs. We must trust what our senses directly show us and use our awareness to discern what to do next.

In our human nature, Ashlesha is the mother’s power to protect her treasure, her young, through transcendent sense and feeling, as a Life in its own right. We must know when to release our grip. We can choose to be in our senses but not be ruled by them. Our senses and feeling help us be present in our body and keep our own power of attention.

At this high tide, sensory experience may be strong. Thought and feeling may rise to the surface. We can keep inner distance to observe our river of thought and feeling. We can be present with ourself to listen within and hear the truth of our heart beating. We might ask ourself: What inspires my life and love? What do I need to accept and release myself from? What do I need to learn? Is my conscience clear - am I doing all I can for well-being of my body, mind, and heart? What “treasures” am I thankful for?

I know how it feels to be silent, invisible, and directionless with big tides of mental and emotional energy. Thankfully, I have learnt some simple ways to be established in my heart; to observe, choose, and move thought and feeling so it does not stay contained as confusion, self-loathing, or physical dis-ease, or get armed out as blame. I share these at Blue Sparrow Ayurveda.

NEW MOON IN SAGITTARIUS
in Mula Nakshatra
Saturday, 20th Dec. at 12:43 p.m.
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

WAKING UP TO WEDNESDAY
Reflecting on what each of us can do in the midst of inner turmoil and what is outside of our individual control.

WE CAN BE THE LIGHT!
Our natural, individual expression of light (our intelligent energy to take action to create an outcome within the bounds of sun-rise and sun-rest of each day.

EVERY DAY, WE CAN EACH DO ALL THAT WE CAN DO from within us and around us towards well-being of self and others.

As we wax and wane in rhythm with Mother Moon's magnetic cycles and tides ...

OBSERVE AYURVEDA:
It is Summer here. Radishes grow easily and provide a punchy hit of pungency that is mustard-like, along with a softly translucent flesh that is crisp and fresh. My husband enjoys these picked young, to munch on as is or in a salad. There are so many ways that radishes can be used as part of a meal. Lemons are a valuable ingredient too. It will be very hot and dry here today so we will be choosing balance of light, moist vegetable stir fry with noodles, fresh raspberries from our canes, sufficient water and herbal teas.

OBSERVE JYOTISH:
This new moon occurs in Sagittarius in Mula Nakshatra. Uprooting and laying bare the knots of inner turmoil that we might hold within us, is this aspect of our human Nature that we can address at this time. Nature supports us to pay attention and be self-responsible and practically compassionate with ourself and others. We can do our conscious inner work and choose the sort of person we want to be. It is essential to remember that we are self-empowered, naturally, to work upon ourself/within ourself as the leader of our own life.

THANKFUL FOR SUMMER'S HEALING HARVEST ...

Photo of this morning's harvest from our small town garden here in West Gippsland, Victoria, Australia.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GROW YOUR OWN FOOD, even if it is only a small pot of herbs.

The harvest of healing abundance runs far deeper than the tasting. It is both a celebration and a joy to co-create with Nature and be connected on a daily basis to our five great elements of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, Space within and outside of ourself.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GROW YOUR OWN. ✨💟🙏

CELEBRATING THE FULL MOON
Friday, 5th December, 10:14 a.m.
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

AYURVEDA:
Photo of Globe Artichoke that we have enjoyed an abundance of this season. It is a unique perennial food source and a lovely structural plant. And photo of the first flush of summer raspberries. It is a joy to gather ruby-red raspberries in the early morning dew. I have been excited to experience that this is possible in our small town garden. Raspberry leaf is also an important tonic in Wise Earth Ayurveda for women's health. I enjoy my hot cup of raspberry leaf and hibiscus tea around midday at the moment.

JYOTISH:
In Jyotish, this full moon occurs in Ta**us in the creative Nakshatra of Rohini. The life lesson of Rohini is to value what is within us to give; to treasure and use our creative intelligence and inherent gifts and strengths to create and craft our life, rather than seeking wealth outside of ourself. It is worth celebrating what you are grateful for creating in your life. It is worth valuing who you are and what you add to life. It is worth remembering what truly matters to you to create or experience in your life-time.

I know that it feels painful to live our life for someone else's expectations, desires, or purpose, to never use our natural gifts and strengths, to not do what truly matters to us.

✨I have been learning to trust myself and to value my embodied wisdom and inner knowing, my life-experience, and what I naturally add.
✨It has been healing to learn to be present in my body and to keep my own power of attention.
✨It is also a gift to be on common ground with others and appreciate the wisdom and beauty of our diversity that makes up our wholeness as human family.
