<p>Organic farmers have committed themselves to your health and to honoring Mother Earth.</p>
<p>Factory farm vegetables are filled with pesticides and herbicides. Runoff from these crops pollutes our waterways and contribute to a host of diseases, including cancer.</p>
<p>If you eat meat, request wild caught fish or free range, organic poultry or beef.</p>
<p><a href="http://sacredpractices.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/img_0593.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1216" alt="Beet Salad" src="http://sacredpractices.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/img_0593.jpg?w=300&#038;h=200" width="300" height="200" /></a>Factory farm animals are filled with hormones and antibiotics along with the herbicides and pesticides used on their food. They are treated horribly. Pollution from factory farm runoff is a major contributor to global warming and the pollution of our rivers.</p>
<p>We should always seek to honor those who seek to honor us.</p>
<p>Request organic. Let your grocer and favorite restaurants know how you feel. The more we make the request. The more likely we are to be heard.</p>

<p>The sacred waters of the Ganges River symbolize nature and nurture, love and compassion, and an embodiment of the Divine Feminine.</p>

<p>Do your best.</p>
<p>Stay committed.</p>

<p>And hug your knees into your chest.</p>
<p>In Yoga we call this <em>Apanasa</em>.</p>
<p>It can be much more than just hugging your knees.</p>
<p>As you breathe deeply, visualize that you are hugging yourself.</p>
<p>As you hug yourself, ask your heart what it is you need in this moment.</p>
<p>Courage or contentment? Power or peace?</p>
<p>Gratitude, forgiveness, acceptance or lovingkindness?</p>
<p>Your heart will immediately know.</p>
<p>Whatever arises, offer it to yourself.</p>
<p>At the same time, receive it.</p>
<p>As you do, embrace yourself fully and completely.</p>
<p>Embrace yourself just as you are.</p>
<p>Hug yourself like you have never hugged before.</p>

<p>The person in your life who has most</p>
<p>Criticized you and held you back.</p>
<p>The one who has whispered throughout the years</p>
<p>That you lack what it takes, aren&#8217;t smart enough, or strong enough or worthy enough to achieve your greatest aspirations.</p>
<p>Imagine giving that person you unconditional forgiveness</p>
<p>For all the hurt they have caused you,</p>
<p>All the doubt and uncertainty and low self-esteem.</p>

<p>You will soon see that the person you are forgiving is yourself.</p>
<p>Go ahead, do it right now.</p>
<p>Forgive yourself.</p>
<p>And then go climb your mountain.</p>
