Yes, remotely but successfully due largely in part by Rumi sharing her expert know-how when it comes to the best tasting (in my humble opinion) kimchi ever ! It’s not too sour nor hot – but just the right complex hotness that’s not overpowering so we can actually taste the goodness of all the labor-intensive amounts of cabbage and radish that’s in there. AND this red chilli pepper, she supplied!! OMG.

Rumi has an michievious infectious laughs and … it’s best to keep your composure – be warned – you do not, and I repeat, do NOT burst out laughing when pouring this red powder substance into the bowl of nappa cabbage, daikon, leeks, green onions, secret other goodies and essence – be warned !

Thank you Rumi-sensei for the instructions and sharing all that knowledge and this … PEPPER !

How can one prevent or remedy the nervous system response from defaulting into an overdrive ? That overdrive of revved up autonomic nervous system into that reactivity of fright, flight or freeze. It’s not a pleasant feeling when there’s that SNS is that while PSNS-parasympathetic nervous system is dormant or overwhelmed.

We were talking about stress and anxieties where a small reminders of past fears can trigger a cascading reaction of overblown nervous system engaged in a delicate balancing act. Mindfulness practices like yoga and meditation can restore and help recalibrate what’s off balance … Now more than ever – fatigued and exhausted from surviving one whole year of Pandemic changed way-of-life, just getting in touch with nature- may also prove so … medicinal.

*Find what give you joy 🙂

*Find acceptance rather than resistance – why? isn’t wearing a mask like second nature by now? It’s lovely for dealing with allergy season or piercing cold air … and why not dress them up with inspriring colors and fabric designs… have fun with them !

*Know your purpose and be intentional which is another way for saying, be … puposeful:)

*Breathe in the now – fill up with abundance and …

*Let go of all thoughts, things, emotions that do not serve you in the moment. Flush out the toxins and trash – simply Purge and Empty out.

*Only then, feel the authenticiy … the abundance we are capable of filling up with.

****** we then get to…

Refresh & Renew ! Regenerate your battries so you may shine again – to be that vibrant Self … again.
