Invest in a good blank journal. Add your own recipes and write them out by hand into the journal. This act allows you to put your energies into the book and bind the recipe to memory.
Get into the habit of bringing cloth bags with you when you shop, cutting down on plastic.
Share recipes with loved ones and try theirs. Maybe you can give a bland dish some spice.
Grow your own herbs from heirloom seeds, organic seeds
Support local farmers markets and push for fresh free range food at the local grocery stores
Buy one or two classic cookbooks. Throw out old papers with recipes on them but copy the recipes in to your blank journal first
Don't throw out glass jars-store grains or teabags in them. Make neat labels for the jars.
Try something new. Experiment. Paint the kitchen. Put a goddess shrine on top your fridge. Tie up dried bundles of herbs on hooks and have herbs within your reach at all times.
Reduce, reuse, recycle. Cut down on plastic. Clean the kitchen with lemon, pine or other citrus mints. Use vinegar, a more environmentally friendly alternative to the cleaning supplies, for cleaning. Invigorating scents make cleaning less of a chore.
After all that, you may not be able to stay out of your kitchen

Harmony at Home
"Happy Home Incense"
Blend frankincense, myrrh, and liquidambar (storax)- an item even I can't find, resins. You need a cauldron or bowl with sand and a charcoal disc. Burn them to clear away negative energy and encourage happy spirits, in all senses of that word."
You could try to asperge -or sprinkle special water blends into corners of your home. Our ancestors used all these techniques.
If you have lavender growing in your garden, don’t hesitate to pick some, dry it and burn it in a bowl with sand and charcoal. The scents will restore peace to the home.
Using an oil burner, add essential oils of sweet orange, lime, and pink grapefruit to a base of jojoba oil. Dress candles with this oil and burn throughout the home to instill joy and laughter. I have a citrus-scented essential oil and trust me, it works. Soak a cotton ball in the oils blend and carry that with you.
Chant “ganymai”- greek word for “I am joyful”.
Make a charm bag and hang it over an entrance door for protection and happiness. Blend garlic powder, salt and pepper in a bottle and sprinkle at the door. Hold up your hand as though to protect + banish and say out loud: Love and light only. All bane or evil be gone” or something like that.
Pour olive oil into the exact spot where an argument occurred. Let it soak up the negative energies before cleaning it up. Use herbs or the herbs’ essences in your mix of floor washing waters for harmony-citrus, mint, sandalwood, or sage, or lavender.
Burn a white candle or pink or blue and fill it with your intent and let it burn down. Dress a candle with an oils blend and snuff out the candle to preserve the energies within- never blow out a candle. That does not keep the energies within the candle. You could ring a candle with crystals for extra impact. Clear quartz and rose quartz would be a good choice. Amethyst as well. Carve your intent into the candle. Take a sharp knife and carve in the word peace. Then light the candle and allow to burn as usual.
There; many ways to encourage happiness within the home. Save and store or print this and keep in a special place. Good luck

Psychic Defense
Greetings all
Hope you're enjoyng the weather. Today's post is about defending yourself from other people's negativity. This is a vital and very useful tool to have as a sensitive person.
Ever walk away after talking to someone and feel drained or lightheaded? or totally exhaused and unhappy? Chances are, they were not your feelings or emotions but someone else's. A person you were in contact with has robbed you of your energy. Mainly your positive energy. Some of the time, this is purppsefully done and sometimes, it isn't. However, here are some tips to help shield you to keep your own positive spirits high:
Wear a protective amulet, pendant or tailisman when in contact with someone who drains you Useful for deflection
Use a protection spray available at Sarahs Spiritual Treasures to help shield you

Try to be as positive as possible
Visualize a shield of whatever form you please around yourself

Rock Salt
Rock Salt is an amazing help to Sensitives. ROck salt can come in a solid form and can be placed on a windowsill or near plants in your house. It contains negative ions which can purify the energy and atmosphere of your living space.
I own a rock salt candle holder and am getting quite attached to it. Crystals such as clear quartz, amethyst, red jasper, agate are protective.
Smoky quartz, hematite and rose quartz ground and ease communications between people and spread good energy.
The rock salt and crystals, when placed in auspicious corners or spots of your home, can soften a negative atmosphere and purify it too.
They are all available at Casaroma Wellness Center as well as the other local metaphysical shops, Sarah's Spiritual Treasures, Little Mysteries, Into the Mystic as well as the Farmers Markets
Blessings

Sunshine
Hello All,
An important part of being a sensitive is recieving enough Vitamin D. On windy and rainy days, that can be difficult. Sunshine, or Vitamin D, rejuvenates the spirit and enables people to feel more positive and cheerful and more energetic. Mood lamps or lights provide an alternate light source on darker days when there is no sun available. Mood lights are available at stores. Genuine sunshine is better at providing the necessary vitamin d to help a sensitive flourish and be a healthy and active highly sensitive soul.

Update
I realize it's a long time since I posted. I am happy to announce that I have had two publications in two different magazines this summer. One, my article on the upcoming Seaport Market that shall soon replace the Halifax farmers market in the spring 2010. The other article on pagan chalices for Circle magazine for fall 2009 (See link above.) I am busy writing a second article for Circle Magazine. I will be posting more in the future as I sweat to death in my overheated apartment. Enjoy the last of summer and embrace the splendor of fall.
