pookieyamamamaI find it very funny that the essence of the week is one for sensory overload and over stimulation by the outside world ... and I am having an extraordinarily difficult time sitting to write this! LOTS of distractions!! Regardless, I have been taking the Dill and maybe not writing but I have accomplished a lot and moved forward in many strong ways. So let's see ...
Dill (Anethum graveolens)
The computers, the news, the bills, the friends, however well meaning, needing your attention, the cats need to eat? ... let's watch tv to settle down and the commercials and traffic and ... and our spirits and thoughts call 'UNCLE!' and we are diffused and have exploded in a thousand different directions ... Dill ... Dill helps us slow down the cacophony, at least mentally and spiritually and then encourages the integration and internal stepping back of our mind in order to integrate all the sensory experiences and appreciate what is going on around us.
Not blinders to remove it all, but a means to relishing the treats all around us.
This is not to say that we may not need to step back and relax from the 'noise', but, when we do not have that luxury, Dill is here to support us and help us get what needs to be done done in the midst of mounting daily pressure.
Interestingly enough, as an herbal, Dill is used as a stomach remedy relieving gas and increasing the stomachs ability to digest. Think of that then energetically and it assists us in the ability to stomach things, namely the world and noise around us, and then, even better, to release it therefore finding ourselves back in comfort and ease.
Super, huh?
Namaste
