WOMEN SAILING AND LIVING WITH CONFIDENCE

LADIES YOUR "SHIP" WAS SPOTTED off the coast this morning, slipping silently through the fog. Coming around the cape, she appeared in a shaft of sunlight and what a sight to see! Glimmering as much as the ocean herself. Massive and beautiful beyond belief. Laden with treasures, happy times, friends, love, and laughter.

This week, though, prepare for her arrival. Create space in your life for her gifts, before she heads back out to sea."

Are you creating space, your ultimate reality and the life you always dreamed of?

Summer is here - lets explore how we can create vitality and youthfulness while boating.

Water is essential for life. Our bodies are comprised of aprox 80 percent water. The importance of maintaining internal hydration can be seen when comparing a piece of fresh fruit with a piece of dried fruit, the only difference being liquid. Without proper hydration, the body becomes dry, tough and rigid. Ultimately, we have ideal health when our body is smooth, supple and flexible. Water brings oxygen, nutrients and life to our cells. Humans can live for a very long time without food, and can only survive for a short period of time without water. By the time we feel thirsty, our bodies are already very dehydrated. Making a habit of drinking water throughout the day will bring increased energy, vitality and youthfulness. Drinking at least 6 to 8 cups of water a day is very important to keep us hydrated. Thirst is often mistaken for hunger. Often, drinking water will eradicate false cravings for food. It is best to drink pure spring water or filtered water and contain it in a stainless steel water bottle when traveling. If I bless or thank the water before drinking it the taste is so much better. I learned many interesting things about water from Dr. Emoto's work, "Messages from Water".

Originating in India more than 5,000 years ago, Ayurveda is the oldest system of healing. It means 'Life knowledge."

This very warming drink can be made with fresh or dried ginger. For one mug, use EITHER a tsp of grated or finely chopped fresh ginger OR a flat quarter teaspoon of dried ginger. Then add boiling water. Let it steep for five minutes. Strain before drinking. Add local honey or brown sugar if desired. I often let the water cool in a large container and then continue to add more water to the ginger mixture. Great on the boat and for those that may not feel so well on the boat.

Turmeric is a spice and has long been used in Indian Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese medicine. It is a natural anti oxidant with many health benefits including;cleansing the blood, thus facilitating a youthful complexion, is great for inflammation reduction as well as healing of skin conditions, aids in digestion and regulates the effects of moon time symptoms. My knees are feeling better already and it is so easy!

In a large pot combine turmeric and hot water, stir. Add honey and serve. Serves four.
