Prayer for Peace over Water

The Cape Town 'Prayer over Water' is being held at Zeekoevlei on 6 March 2010. This is a unique event, which is being held in several countries across the globe. The Cape Town event is linked to the first 'Water and Peace' Global Forum being held at Lake Biwa, Japan from 20 - 22 March 2010. This even is being led by Dr Masaru Emoto and is focused on creating unity and peace through water.

The water from the Cape Town ceremony will be taken to Japan to join water collected from all over the world, brought together in one place, connecting in peace.

In the words of John Lennon;

Imagine there's no countries,

It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for,

And no religion too

Imagine all the people,

Living life in peace.....

Imagine no possessions,

I wonder if you can

No need for greed or hunger,

A brotherhood of man

Imagine all the people,

Sharing all the world ....

You may say I'm a dreamer,

But I'm not the only one

I hope that someday you'll join us,

And the world will be as one

INVIGORATING WEDNESDAY

Woman washing back outdoorssrc="

Dry-skin brushing is very beneficial for the lymph systems. It removes dead cells and helps keep your 'temple' glowing.

Dry-skin brush for around 3 minutes in the mornings before you shower. This will stimulate circulation and reduces the appearance of cellulite.

How; you will need a natural bristle or plant-fibre long-handled brush. Start at the soles of your feet and working your way up your body always brush in the direction of the heart.

Then take a shower and smother yourself in body lotion or organic coconut oil.

Yummy red cabbage recipe

More Urban Goddess inspiration (Lulu McNamara);

Plants in the house can literally breathe life into a room. An Urban Goddess fills her home with flowers as often as possible - there is no better way to enhance the spirit of a room.
