 Ah Andalusia, home of the beating southern sun, mythical origin of the rhythmic clapping and body twirling of Flamenco and the famed source of some of the world’s juiciest and plumpest lemons, in Spanish, limón. Andalusia…the name simply rolls off the tongue. It is believed the region, the second largest Autonomous Community in Spain, (something like a State in the US), got its name from the Moors. After the battle of Las Naves in 1212, the Moors, Spain’s Arab conquerors decided to name the place Al-Andulus, which in time the Spanish adopted as Andalusia.
The Moors gave Andalusia a considerable amount more than a name. A few hundred years prior to the battle of Las Naves, they also brought over the lemon, which like the name Andalusia, the Spanish would later adopt as their own. The Moors loved the yellow fruit. They couldn’t get enough of them really and so, throughout the 8th and 9th centuries, as they conquered much of North Africa, parts of Southern Italy and of course, Spain, they planted groves to ensure they might never have to go without.
The Moors were finally expelled from Spain in 1492, but their lemon groves remained. To this day, lemons are a firmly entrenched part of Andalusian cuisine and are served with virtually every meal. One of the most fabled growing areas is the Valley of Lecrin, which in English,The Valley of Happiness. In the valley, the lemon trees grow on ancient terraces accessible only by mules. A visit will show you the campesinos, farmers, trundling up into the groves and coming back with bushels, gleaming yellow for sale by the roadside. The fruit is juicy, delicious and tart – just like a wonderful cup of this tea. We’ve developed this blend to capture the mystique of this beautiful corner of Spain. Delight your taste buds with a cup or two the next time you feel like something a little exotic!

When Everything Stands Still...
By Ma Ananda Sangavasini, Reiki Master & Intuitive Life Coach @ the Divine Mine
.jpg)
In disbelief I am sitting here, staring at the keyboard of my computer. Normally I sit down to write the article for the newsletter in a very excited mood, words starting to flow within seconds from some creative space, just pouring out. But not this time. This time, I sit here, staring at the keys. My fingers are fumbling. No words that are available to describe what is going on in my inner space. So I decide to share the intimate experience that I’m going through since there is nothing else that wants to be written right now.
A few days ago, very unexpectedly, a very dear friend passed away. Just like that. Last week we had dinner together, unaware of the physical parting that was soon to come. We thoroughly enjoyed each other’s company, we laughed and went to see a movie. I always enjoy his and my other dear friend, his wife’s company so much that I cannot do anything else but being fully present with them. That is one of the many wonderful gifts that I have been given by them.
The last few days have been a bit of a blur. There are times where I strongly feel that existence flows, that everything is divinely planned, that I just know deep inside that my friend has merged with the light of existence, that I even feel peaceful about the peace he is experiencing now, and there are times that the pain of not being able to physically be with my friend is almost unbearable. A rollercoaster of emotions, just thundering through. There are many moments where everything just seems to stop. Everything seems to be standing still, and yet, there is so much life and vibrancy in that same moment, that same stillness. Two totally opposite experiences happening at the same time. A realization that death doesn’t exist, that life always flows, simply a change of forms. The ultimate truth can never die. Yet, the process of letting go. How bizarre life can be…
That is all that wants to be written right now. No words of wisdom, no words at all, just the straight, naked truth from direct experience. Only a deep gratitude and love remains, the emptiness and spaciousness behind the words….there is nothing left to say as all words seem to contaminate what my experience is…
And so it is.ngavasini will be facilitating the following workshops and meditations this month: Saturday, August 7th: Rise & Shine Mediation, Sunday, August 8th: Reiki Level Three, Monday, August 16th: Intro to Tibetan Singing Bowls.
**Please note that Sangavasini will be heading back to India in August for 5 more months to continue her training.

Sun in Leo 2010
By Carl Klimuk, Astrologer, Master Herbologist & Wholistic Practitioner @ the Divine Mine
Aries
Find ways to creatively express yourself more at work. This is a good time for you to be noticed within your work environment. Showcase your skills, if there’s a time to shine in front of the boss this month would be favorable for you. Finding the balance between work & play will keep you healthy. Set some realistic goals for yourself. Don’t be surprised if you feel like you have to devote more of your time trying to help fix other peoples problems, just remember to give yourself the time of day as well!
Taurus
Work, work, work! This could be a very productive month for you, if you organize yourself well. Avoid overwhelming yourself by focusing on doing one task at a time. You may feel the urge to clean & organize your health & your environment. Need to change the diet? Need to detoxify that body? Been procrastinating about exercise? Well then this is a great month to get all of those things kick started! Pay more attention to what your body is trying to tell you. Single Taureans may find love, those with partners work on improving things & paying more attention to neglected areas within their relationship.
Gemini
Don’t be surprised if you find yourself needing to ask lots of questions this month. This can be a great time to solve long standing problems that have been bugging you for awhile. Letting go can be extremely healing. People come to you for advice or counsel; share your thoughts, ideas & philosophies with others. Travel is favorable; you will be hungry to learn. Think outside of the box, connecting with the natural world helps you to see the bigger picture.
Cancer
Have you forgotten to stop & smell the roses as of late? Connect with the beauty of simplicity. Don’t focus so much on what you want; remind yourself how to appreciate all that you have. To desire is natural, but we need to appreciate more. Others may need your comforting this month or your money! Share your resources with others but do it wisely. As for you, indulge in some good food, sleep in more, get a massage or immerse yourself in some sort of art. I know it sounds brutal, but you can do it!
Leo
Happy birthday Leo! The upcoming year is a time of major growth for you. This is a year of letting go of the old & welcoming the new. For some of you it may be a promotion or change of job. Others may find their relationships blossoming while some find themselves separating. It may be a simple need to change bad habits. Whatever area of life needs changing it’s because you’ve outgrown it & are being asked to move up to the next level, it’s about stepping up your game. For this month take the time to ponder & search. Explore the possibilities of your path.
Virgo
Been feeling a bit bored or disimpassioned with your work as of late? Well this is a good month to remind yourself of the purpose of your work. Try to be the best that you can be at whatever it is that you do. Educate yourself on how to improve your skills. In any case you may find yourself spending more time working. Try & get out when you can so you don’t lose sight of the bigger picture, in other words have a life outside of work! This is also a good time to plan or organize a trip or vacation.
Libra
This seems to be a fixer upper time for you. Don’t be surprised if things start to break down around you, it could your refrigerator or a relationship! Whatever breaks down is simply trying to reveal to you a neglected area. If something breaks down it simply is screaming out “pay attention!” Friends are favored this month so why not organize something with them. All in all a busy active month where you may find yourself being pulled between work related responsibilities & social obligations. Budgeting your time will help with your overall energy.
Scorpio
Surround yourself in art & beauty this month. It’s okay for you to escape & indulge a little more, this is an exercise in learning about gratitude & appreciation. Sooth the soul & satisfy spiritual expression through something artistic…music, dance, writing, painting, designing, beautifying, anything creative will do. Dreams are strong this month & may bring messages. Your psychic & intuitive faculties are stronger than usual. Make sure to get enough sleep. This is a good money month for many. This is also a good time for planting new seeds, ideas & starting new projects.
Sagittarius
This is a good time to put some money into the home, redecorate, redesign, give that new coat of paint to an area that has been needing it. Find comfort in beauty, appreciate some beautiful art, clothing, music, food, a scenic landscape or a gorgeous sunset. Don’t be surprised if you also have to spend some money on certain family needs or obligations. Find comfort & security within your home or family. Spend some quality time within your home, reconnect with family roots & traditions.
Capricorn
Trying to find the pleasure in your work may be difficult a lot of the time, but try to focus on the areas of your work or career that are enjoyable. Some Capricorns actually derive a great deal of pleasure from their work which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, just remember all work and no play makes for a dull goat! Money matters related to work are highlighted this month. This is a good time to organize your bank account or investments. Prioritize your spending, be cautious with impulse purchases.
Aquarius
A busy bee you will be Aquarius! Your multi-tasking skills may be put to the test this month. From work to social gatherings to home related responsibilities, but no worries you’ll do it all and wonder how you got through it! Communicate your feelings; express your thoughts & ideas to those who are interested in what you have to say. Try to make your home a place of refuge & escape from the busyness on the outside. This is also a good time for you to learn & pick up new ideas & information.
Pisces
Take some time to reflect on things, where you’ve been, where you are & where you’re going will help you put your ideas into perspective. A look into your past will help give insight into both your present & future direction. A social period is favored, take some breaks from reflection by going out with friends, many are in the mood to give you advice. Your mind is curious for information, spend time surfing the net, go to the local library or bookstore, attend a seminar or take a workshop.
Carl will be facilitating an Lunar Astrology 101 on Saturday, August 14th.
