10 Essential Herbs: Everyone's Handbook To Health

The much needed message of this book is that spiritual practice is not something mysterious or alien to ordinary existence. Neither is it defined by difficult exercises or maintained by unruffled tranquility. Waking to Ordinary Life speaks directly to the false presumption that our relationship to the Divine, to Spirit, somehow precludes a simple life based in human maturity, dignity and kindness toward others. It casts unrelenting light on how clear-cut spiritual practice actually is, if only we have the courage to choose it. This courage, the author states, means squarely facing the unconscious or destructive habits we've used since childhood to keep us comforted, and to get us through the day. Lalitha challenges and guides her readers in how to work with this denial mechanism, and how to pay attention to the body's innate wisdom which consistently signals us, yet is consistently overridden. We do know what serves, she says, once we admit to lying to ourselves; we can take greater responsibility for what is…both at the personal and planetary level. "We can grow up! she exclaims, demonstrating what this means for the practitioner on any spiritual path. Waking to Ordinary Life is derived from recent talks and conversations Lalitha has held with her students and those interested in spiritual practice, making its message fresh, accessible and real. Her many examples bypass heady concepts and pretty words, and bring the reader down to earth where messy relationships, greed and cancer must be handled. She speaks with compassion, yet is categorically unwilling to compromise the demands of committed, unsentimental work on self. Topics include: the necessity for articulating an aim, which may then be applied as a guiding principle in all one's endeavors; the power of genuine forgiveness; the urgency inspired in the face of death, and the experience of delight in ordinary life. Overall, the book emphasizes that merely understanding the nature of mind, and how mind creates neurosis, does not dispel the neurosis. For that, consistent, accurately-directed effort (i.e., practice) is required. Paradoxically, the author asserts that such effort may actually consist in relaxing, especially the habits of self-hatred. Her wise counsel encourages simple daily practice for the purpose of infusing this knowledge into the body, and thus affecting one's behavior on every level. The bottom line is to rest in the unadorned truth. Waking to Ordinary Life points the way.

My approach to maintaining vibrant health in travel evolves from a lifetime of experience as an herbalist and healer, together with the important lessons learned in my own extensive trips throughout the U.S., Europe, Mexico, Canada and India, both alone and with groups of children. In the last year alone, for instance, my work has taken me to Germany once and France twice. I've flown to Vancouver, BC from my home in Arizona, three times. I've driven to Los Angeles once, and just getting from my remote desert home to the airport is three hours each way, not to mention the hour-long one-way trip to get to town. My two previous books, 10 Essential Herbs (One World Press, Chino Valley, Arizona, 2010 and 10 Essential Foods (1999) detail my system of dynamic nutrition and healthcare. I highly recommend these books to you before you set out on your next great travel adventure, as they will enhance everything in this book. Ever since I was a child I have been insatiably curious about my body's processes. I like to experiment, always trying to get a little more energy here, a little less stress there, more digestive power and quicker recovery. As a result I've discovered healthy energy boosters, "fixer-uppers" to soothe the ill effects of dietary and emotional habits. I've mixed up simple tonics and elixirs for all sorts of needs, for myself and others, and consider myself a veteran in the department of "Superfoods"-those foods that are especially concentrated in a "small package" from Nature; power-packed with nutrition, including necessary vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and enzymes, along with rejuvenating phytochemicals and antioxidants. Two famous Superfoods include spirulina algae and honeybee pollen. You will read all about them in Chapter 4. My experimenting is sometimes criticized by those who want to "go with the conventional flow" as they travel. But I don't support that approach. Even "fun" can take its toll on our health. I think that preparation is a sign of maturity and wisdom. Planning ahead for health preservation despite a late-night party, a weekend-long feast, weeks of trekking, or numerous high-stress business gatherings can eliminate or at least mitigate the hangovers, bouts of indigestion, exhaustion or frazzled nerves. As far as I'm concerned it is certainly worth the effort.
