Welcome to the Community Garden

Hey Everyone....look what I got....grape vine....just got to get it started a little first.

 




            
Thanks Lena for your contribution to the garden.
I will try to do it proud and hope it grows like those tree posts to one day look like these......



 



In further news there is a donation of $50 coming from the Angels of Cape May... I must start thinking about what the garden needs.....Big thanks to all of you!

I downloaded and checked out some information on gardening in the tropics.  It is a bit different here.  From what I can tell there are 2 growing seasons grow the same things but also things that also grow in one or the other.  I have a few things that are settled and ready for transplanting to the garden in October when the rains come.

Check back to volunteer when rainy season approaches.

It all started for me on page 10 with a great composite view of different energy anatomies that had been explained in the preceding pages. For me, it really brought together the Chinese medicine, Thai massage, chakras and aura system in relation to each other. The healing stories through opening our connections to the energy fields of the universe were motivating and interesting to read. The first exercise I tried was the first one in the book "toe tapping". It's a pretty simple exercise so following the instructions was easy. I only kept it up for about a week but I believe I did start to feel benefits. I like to meditate and I am always looking for new ideas. This book provided. I still want to try the metta meditation and many of the other meditations that are throughout the book. I still have a numb...
