Thankyou so much !!!
As you can expect when I see "grains" I freeze !!!
It is nice that some food producers are finally posting the exact contents of the foods they make, since the FDA made it law, what...20 years ago ?????
I will do kefir then, and study it's processes, it may be OK for me and it may not.
I have come to the intelligent realization that "I" am merely hitching a ride on this 'body'...and I have no idea when or where it may break out in scalding raises or bloat to 16 months pregnant.
I am now after some good essential oils for my chakras...thanks all for your help and time explaining!!!!
So You follow the Yogi approach! If any of you are going what are chakras but were afraid to ask go to this site and it explains a little
http://healing.about.com/cs/chakras/a/alignchakras.htm this is not totally unlike Asian Medicines (Chinese for one that open the different channels of energy (CHI) for One)
I will have to see if I can find some of my sites that make esential oils for medicinal use!! What types of oils are you looking for if I may ask!
Dont freeze when you see grains! These little beauties are like no other grains you have ever seen! \\\\

Hi thought I'd throw this in fore I went to bed Have a wonderful and prosperous day all: ERNIE
The two most well known cultures which have developed systems for working with energy are India and china.
If you want to be technical about it, the idea of people having an energetic field that should be worked with is a much larger part of Chinese culture than that within India. However, India has been much more exposed to the west than china (since they were colonized by the British for a while), so much more of their practices have become known over here. A couple of people earlier on took some of the Hindu and yoga practices and blended them into a discipline called theosophy.
More recently, theosophy and parts of christianity were blended together to create the new age movement, and since a large part of it comes from indian practices, the notion of Chakras has become quite well known in the west.
In india they have a narrower discipline of working with the bodies energies (termed prana), and one of the main things they focus on within that system is doing stuff with the chakras, energetic centers in the body. The people in the west that latched onto this system (in my opinion) didn't fully understand it, so as a result a huge emphasis is placed on the chakras and they are viewed as the great key to spirituality and everything which could possibly matter.
The chinese system terms the bodies energy "chi" and they have thousands upon thousands of ways to work with the energy in your body. In some ways it's correct to say chi=prana, but the indian definition is much narrower.
One of the reasons so many methods exist is because a lot of different energetic systems exist within the human body (one of which is the accupuncture meridian lines), and each energetic system requires a different method to be worked with.
One of those systems is the "energy gates"* which are basically points on the body which act as transformer stations and boost the strength of chi flowing through your body. The overlap isn't perfect, but the 7 chakras basically correlate to some of the main energy gates in the body.
Hope that helps! If you need to know anything else about this feel free to message me.
If you want to know more about this (specifically how the whole energy gates system works), there's a very good book on the subject, that being "Opening the Energy Gates of Your Body."
*there isn't really an english term for it.
