I. FRIKKIN. HATE. LAWNS. Especially living in the driest inhabited continent on the planet (Australia) which is prone to regular, extended droughts and water is a scarcity.... the idea of having lush,

Feeling you on this one this morning. I was doubting a decision I made recently, questioning whether the 'reason' for my decision — the heart-felt sense that this was right even if I could rationally justify

There is another way.... Do you have a skill or talent that you could exchange for LOTUS? "No mud, no lotus"

Unfortunately, part of my own jaded feelings towards TCM was that 100% of my clientele were the "worried well"..... very wealthy, very privileged, very educated, very white.... and very very

OOooofff! This one hit me hard this morning, as I deal with the tail-end of a nasty, toxic situation in one of my work fields. Thanks for the reminder, I have caught myself fantasising about various ways

I'm not sure I completely agree with some of your presuppositions... BUT I totally agree about your view of Peterson. There is nothing new about anything he says... his version of libertarianism can be

Amazing. What I don't understand is how a place like the UK, with very little in the way of sunlight can do something so innovative like this... and yet here in Australia, our governments are resisting

Wow. Just wow. That was an amazing and inspiring story!!! I'm seriously impressed at your resilience even though you were constantly getting bombarded by messages to take drugs, and drop out. Good on you

General anaesthetics are going to pound the immune system anyway, so anyone who has a problem with immunity needs to take measures to counteract the effects of anaesthetics.

Some folk may be surprised when I say I don't have an issue with vaccines. What I do have an issue with is consent. At the end of the day, a vaccine is only going to be as effective as the robustness of

Phew.... just in time (hopefully).... needed this situation to play out in order to be able to reflect on it and write about it. Still so very fresh an experience.

Which leads to homogenisation of culture..... Because when everything is the same, predictable, thing it’s easier to digest. Like baby food. Bland, mediocre... The artisans, craftsman, bespoke engineers,

I love Taro so much. My CM practitioner told me to eat it when he was treating me for Graves Disease many many years ago. I had no idea you could also use the leaves. I tried growing it many years ago,

I love this so much. Maybe I will have to come up your way for a couple of months and just train in Wu Xing Dao intensively!!!!

Oooohh...... I like the idea of it as 'rebellion'. Rebelling against natural, innate, animalistic urges. Rebellion against the primitive parts of our consciousness that want to remain mired in cravings,

That's shit. It really is. 😢🙏🏽💚🤗 I'm going to offer something here I wouldn't normally... I hope you'll hear it the way I intend it. Doctors and medical people aren't perfect. Neither is their medicine

Yep, it's time to "go native".... The Aboriginal people on this land talk also about a "sense of place", and that culture, mythology, language, etc emerge naturally from 'place'. I've

I'm genuinely surprised that there are only 6 clinical trials for this herb. I would have thought this would have been one of the most researched of natural/ayurvedic herbs. I guess that goes to show the

What a cool, and also bizarre, festival. I'd love to know more about the connection between celebrating vegetarianism and poking a skewer through your cheek... There must be so much more to the origins

Doing SOOOO amazingly well. You've really taken this idea and made it work for you... and continued to do so!!! It's interesting, is it not, how making one tiny little change leads on to the realisation
