Dandelions
Prebiotics are plant fibers that feed the healthy bacteria lining of your gut. Probiotics, on the other hand, are live healthy bacteria that you eat in yogurt or miso which helps repopulate the gut when the healthy bacteria need assistance.  One prebiotic food I have been striving to integrate as the weather cools is dandelion leaves. 

 As the weather cools, they become less bitter, but still are great support for your digestive flora and help detoxify the liver.  I use dandelion sprouts for me and my clients because they are more nutritionally potent and have a softer texture.  I also use them in salads chopped finely.  This year I grew an Italian variety in the garden for a steady supply.

The Luck Factor
Being in a state of positive expectation is one of the keys to happiness and realizing the opportunities that are all around you. I love books that teach and remind me to practice optimism.  The Luck Factor opens you to habits which will help you see the opportunities around you and make your life fuller and more connected.​

Heart Opener is my favorite yoga pose.  It allows you to clear your head, release stress, and to feel more open to the light and love which surround you.  10-15 minutes a day is transformative.  I am focusing on my ability to receive more, so I wish to increase my energetic openness to the love and support of the universe.

To do it place a yoga block on a cushion.  Gently lower yourself with the lower edge of the block hitting where your bra strap comes across.your back.  Relax for 10-15 minutes.

Love,
Julia
