LEGACY OF THE DIVINE TAROT
4 OF WANDS: During this biweekly you will find yourself coming out of an unclear, murky area into a space of clarity and more optimism. Things are starting to look up, so use any advantages that come your way to move yourself forward. Be upbeat and positive, for good things are indeed on the way.
THE DEVIL: Do not let fear, anxiety, worry, doubt, guilt, or any other negative emotion prevent you from achieving what you desire. You have the power to do and create whatever you want. Often the only thing holding us back is our fear of failure or worry about the outcome. Now is the time to remove these blocks and tell yourself that anything is possible.
KING OF CUPS: Use the next two weeks to spread unconditional love wherever you go. Smile at others, do random acts of kindness, and pay it forward in situations that allow this. You will be amazed at the wonderful results of being kind and considerate to others.
BI-WEEKLY THEME: You are leaving a time of uncertainty and moving into one of more hope and optimism. Look forward to better times and stay in a positive frame of mind. Prevent fear from blocking your progress by not allowing it to fester and grow. You have the ability to "nip in the bud" any negative thoughts, so carefully monitor what you are thinking. This can be a wonderful time of loving and kindness by spreading good ill wherever you go.
Blog #34: What Are the Benefits
of Lemon Juice?

Did you know that there is something simple you can do to
enhance your health and sense of well-being?
It is this: In the
morning, drink the juice of one or one-half of a lemon mixed with warm
water. That’s it. It is easy, tastes refreshing, and does
wonderful things for your body.
Why is this so? Here is a partial list of why lemons are so
good for us:
Ø
Lemons are a good source of vitamin C, which
helps our body with immune system deficiencies.
Ø
They contain pectin, a type of fiber that is
good for the colon and has antibacterial properties.
Ø
They balance the body’s pH levels, which
maintains a more alkaline than acidic environment, which is where disease
occurs.
Ø
They are a good source of citric acid, potassium,
calcium, phosphorus, bioflavonoids,
limonene, and magnesium—all elements that are important for a healthy
body. For example, potassium helps
nourish brain and nerve cells.
Some benefits
Lemons:
Ø
Aid digestion by encouraging the production of
bile.
Ø
Boost our immune system through vitamin C, which
is especially helpful in times of stress.
Ø
Contain potassium, which enhances the heart,
brain, and nerves.
Ø
Flush toxins from the body as an aid to
digestion; help relieve indigestion and boosts the function of the liver.
Ø
Fight bacteria in the mouth for fresher breath.
Ø
Freshen skin, due to the vitamin C that helps
with collagen production.
Ø
Help with hunger cravings, thanks to the pectin
fiber; this may aid weight loss, in addition to being a digestive aid and liver
cleanser.
Ø
Help fight viral infections and sore throats.
Although there are many benefits of drinking warm lemon
juice and water, there are some sources that say the benefits may be
overstated. For more information on
this, see:
Also, some authors suggest that you rinse your mouth out
with plain water after drinking lemon juice because the acid could damage tooth
enamel.
Nevertheless, many people agree that the benefits outweigh
the risks, and that is why this practice has become so popular. So if you are looking for a healthy change to
start off the new year, you may want to consider adding this easy method to
your morning routine.
In summary, warm lemon water contributes to strong
antibacterial, antiviral and immune-boosting properties, in addition to the
other benefits listed above.
