This is the 5th and last post in this Go Slow Series.

Concept 5 - Live your life with spirit

The definition of what it means to live your life with spirit is as unique as each individual and there are no set rules about how we connect to the world outside of ourselves. For some people it is a connection with God or nature or the energy of the universe.

This sense of spirit can be imbued into our daily interactions with the people in our lives, or through helping others in the community, either in person or anonymously. The sense of spirit can be shared through helping animals or through environmental efforts.

When we cultivate a sense of spirituality, whatever that may be, we help ourselves improve our emotional well being by creating a connection to something that is outside of us. These spiritual associations can bring us feelings of peace, gratitude, contentment and acceptance.

How do you connect?
Can you find this kinship of spirit in some other way with the world or universe? We live a very short time here on Earth, but we can make that time more luminous when we live with spirit.

If you've read this Go Slow series, I hope you've found it useful in thinking about how we can take back some control of our focus, thoughts and time to regain a sense of purpose and safety in our lives.

Peace,
Sherri

I usually don't recommend products, medication or supplements, but Black Seed is an interesting spice with many health benefits that you may want to consider.

Black Seed is a common, generic name for the Nigella sativa plant, which is found in the Middle East, southern Europe and southwest Asia. It is known by several names:​
- nigella
- black cumin
- fennel flower
- black caraway
- Roman coriander

When consumed, these seeds offer an array of health benefits for the following conditions:

• Inflammation
• Asthma
• High Cholesterol
• Metabolic Syndrome
• Autoimmune Disorders
• Diabetes
• Obesity

​Black Seed can also be used topically for skin issues such as eczema, psoriasis and acne.

Here is a video from Dr. Michael Greger of Nutritionfacts.org in which he discusses the impressive research on this surprising little seed.

​The oil is extracted from the seeds and it can be found in capsule form at health food stores and online, but if you plan to try Black Seed, I would recommend finding a high quality, ground, organic source. The seeds have a tasty, light peppery flavor and can be added to soups and stews or sprinkled on any savory dish or even as a way to spice up sandwiches. 

These seeds are not a new fad by any stretch, as references to this plant were prescribed in the advice of Prophet Muhammad and the Holy Bible. You may be hearing more about Black Seeds, because there is quite a lot of research going on regarding this plant right now.

Take some time to learn more about this is a very intriguing plant!

If you have any medical conditions you may want to check with your doctor before trying Black Seed.
