THE BUZZ Enso Morning: Daily Meditation Gifts
nso Morning: Daily Meditation Gifts presents over 160 Morning Blessing Letters to awaken, stimulate and deep- en meditation and spiritual practice. In the tradition of Robert Frost and Wendell Berry, Jacob uses poetic images and personal ex- periences of New England nature, the birds, animals, woods, and beaches of coastal Maine, to awaken readers to begin their day nurtured and encouraged to be themselves, joined with like-minded souls. The personal
E
letters in Enso Morning: Daily Meditation Gifts provide a friendly, comforting and accessible way to wake up and affi rm the whole self. Each letter has seven brief paragraphs that offer a welcome to the day, a silent meditation, affi rmations of body, heart and soul, a blessing and a gift for each day.
The following is one of the daily meditation gifts offered in Enso
Morning: As you leave seamless sleep and join the texture of the morn-
ing, the day is glad to have you. Overnight a thin layer of new snow graces the ground, now decorated like sprinkled powdered sugar on a plain cake.
Let white silence fall over you, bringing peace. Each snowfl ake
drifts down independently yet is part of the blanket touching us with quiet and somehow with solace…
Allow yourself, your body, to be touched. Touch back with
every part, even if it is only to meet the air around you. Touch with your feet and legs, your waist and chest, your arms and head.
How fl eeting a feeling is when it has life and expression, like a
snowfl ake’s brief existence, falling down through the sky and either melting away or blending into millions of its brothers and sisters, safely on the ground.
What is this quiet grace that the snow brings? Suddenly every object outside, bush, picnic table, sidewalk, and every person too, is stitched together by white; we are silently reminded of the invisible threads that join us all.
May you, too, remember today how alike we all are, even in our different forms; that while we follow different paths, we have a common destiny.
Your gift today is a snowfl ake.

Living in a State of Super Immunity Using Essential Oils Essential Oils:
ow would it feel to live in a state of Super Immunity and never worry about the seasonal ‘stuff’ that can wipe you out for weeks? This is where my family lives and thrives, in what I refer to as our super immunity bubble. Stuff goes around, and we never get wiped out - ever.
H
We travel the world confi dently living in a state of super immunity. I'm comforted by my essential tools even when someone is sneez- ing all over me in the airport. When the kids are swapping their seasonal garbage at school, I do not worry because the kids have these natural tools too.
If you've heard the BUZZ about essential oils, it's because they fl at out work. I've been using essential oils with my family for 10+ years, and I cannot stop raving about them. The bottom line is: Moms and Dads want TOOLS to keep their kids healthy, and essential oils deliver.
• Can replace most of your bathroom cabinet contents
• Remarkably support functions of the body such as the brain, liver, muscles, joints, heart, and lungs • Support the immune system • May clear mild acne/skin conditions • May improve sports performance, naturally • Are fully supported by thousands of scientifi c studies
• Have worked their magic into the medical practices of Physicians because the public is demanding natural solutions
I’m sure I’ve piqued your interest, so you may be wondering what’s your next step. I’d like to invite you to join one of my in-person classes or full-day workshops to learn more about essential oils and how you can work them into your life.
