Juicing Up! the Mighty Haldi! (Indian Saffron/Turmeric). 😋😀👣

Keeping the Gut in good order, cleaning out the colon,
Turmeric, Beet, Kale, Cucumber, Apple, Ginger, Garlic, Black Pepper.

(Take note: Turmeric is poorly absorbed and metabolised quickly by the body. However, combining it with piperine, present in black pepper, can increase its absorption by 2000%).

Digestive Health
Haldi has been used as a digestive aid, with increasing evidence on reducing symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome and its use in managing inflammatory bowel conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcers, and many more gastrointestinal issues. Most of these health conditions are caused by inflammation, which can be counteracted by turmeric's anti-inflammatory properties.

🍎🍏~ *NEW APPLE SHOP AT KARUNA. 😃🌞🍎🍏🍎 💗

With such a fantastic diversity of Apples at Karuna Insight Design...we decided it would be a good thing to share our Natural Organic Apple selection with the local community.

So, we built and fitted out, a little shop last week, right at the entrance to Karuna.
Cost is £3 per bag, & payment is left in the Honesty box!

We have a couple (& their Dog), from S. Korea, staying in their small van. They have driven to Europe, from Russia, and have enjoyed living in rural Finland for some months, before travelling to U.K. in order to specifically, volunteer with us at Karuna.
They are a fantastic, hardworking couple, highly adaptable, and always willing to assist with tasks, and join in with daily chores.

Right now, after a morning of Forestry clearance work, in heavy rain, they are both doing creative work.
One is painting new signs, the other Mapping out /updating our old hand drawn fruit tree Maps.

APPLES;
To some, Apples are regarded as a Sacred, Magical & Healing.
A symbol of Earths abundance and Fruitfulness
A means to immortality
A cure for all ills.
And a gift of LOVE.

In the old tales, Apples are given as symbols of LOVE, TRUST, and IMMORTALITY.
Ruled by Venus, the Apple tree brings connection to LOVE, to GIVING and to RECEIVING.
Apple also helps us to accept and LOVE ourselves.
Apple Flower essence ~ will help purify and heal all wounds of the heart.
The Apple's message is to value and celebrate all you have in your life.
Many feelings of bitterness, irritation and anger result from 'lack of self-worth'.
These negative feelings create a pattern of imbalance which can significantly reduce the flow of life-force energy in your body.
If you do not feel worthy of receiving, the way for things to come will be blocked-As you have believed it to be.
By affirming Thanks for All you have in your life, you Open Up the chances for your own Abundance.

The Leaves, Blossom, and peel are used as a tonic, cleanser and great Cure-All.
Eat Daily for Lowering Cholesterol Levels, For Rheumatism, Hypertension, Anaemia, Kidney, bladder and gastric problems.
Juice can restore skin tissue. 🙏🙌🍎🍏💗

As we walk in beauty!

“Water is the lifeblood of our bodies, our economy, our nation and our well-being.”

“A lake is a landscape’s most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth’s eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.” – Henry David Thoreau

We finally have some rain! 🌱💦🌊 👣

Fab new, Ex -Army Nurse, volunteer!
Hayley's a very happy chatty, energetic worker, with a thirst for learning.
More than happy to tackle most types of work on offer at Karuna.😃
'Fave volunteers' such as Hayley, come to learn from their 'Work experience' and get stuck in, with genuine smiles and, in the moment satisfaction. Not the 'Working holiday' type, with an emphasis on 'Holiday', who lack appreciation of rare, simplicity, and sometimes simply do not make the most of potential, holistic connection, through Land & Work.
Hayley's with her dog & has her own 'live in Van', and has recently been travelling to Scotland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark & Holland.
She's done with nursing, and plans to buy land, as she wants to live off grid, & be as self-sufficient as she possibly can.
This is all new to her, she's really enjoying her experience with us at Karuna, and will be staying around a little longer to experience and learn as much as she can about Insight Design.

So nice, in fact a privilege, to be showing many others the holistic way of Insight Design. 🙏
