Naturally Perfect.




When I entered this world, and took my first breath the Universe in all its divinity stopped and whispered “You are legacy my child” one of my favorite sayings my grams would whisper in my ear and a kiss goodnight.

It never dawns on us children to feel anything else but Cosmically Naturally Perfect. How do we go from that blissful place of absolute unconditional love and pure faith in it all to wavering uncertainty in everything? We go through life, or that is my experience.

Everything is naturally perfect just as it is. All phenomena appear in their uniqueness as part of the continually changing pattern. These patterns are vibrant with meaning and significance at every moment; yet there is no significance to attach to such meanings beyond the moment in which they present themselves. This is the dance of the five elements in which matter is a symbol of energy and energy a symbol of emptiness. We are a symbol of our own enlightenment. With no effort or practice whatsoever, liberation or enlightenment is already here. My reasoning side introduction.

Nature versus Nurture model of course is the longest standing example. The truth is; it is both of these energies occurring the time span we define as childhood. The energies are never exactly the same in child, why? simply we are all uniquely designed to be that specific way. The Naturally Perfect being. Let me stop here and clarify perfect I don't profess to know the origin of my existence, it is a power greater than me but being so powerful it's design is above my pay grade in this lifetime. It is Perfect in that it has knowledge like building a human meat skeleton. I do not. End of clarity.

Then comes media, society, our peers, the whole world seems to know how YOU, ME, THEM, should be PERFECT. Notice the difference, in just the phrasing of that sentence, and the most important word is completely missing. Our second worst enemy, is our gender my very own sisters, and we perpetuate it by serving the conformity of what a few have deemed “TRUTH” ourselves being the forefront runner in this race of course.

I purpose right here and now unto myself, the inner self that knows and is ready to remind me of what Naturally Perfect truly is. I will honor every wrinkle and line, scar and stretch mark, age spots, and achy bones, broken heart, and scorned self-esteem, every hurt, and disappointment and take each one into my bosom hold it tight and whisper”you are legacy my child”.

So that's what I have done, I paused from this blog and sat in my most loving position legs drawn up in fetal style with arms gently hugging my chest. I closed my eyes and in a flash it was like the old view masters, the slide was in and in order, every wrinkle had a rhyme and reason beauty, and ugliness came to visit on each one. The scars on the outside were of easily soothed by oil I rubbed on them loving them away. The stretch marks' oh my children not one I regret I think I will leave those be, it's a beautiful memory I won't forget.

Each one I held close or cried over just a bit, then with one big breath I exhaled and thought I'm a on way, just a few more to release and I will be free. I finished with repeating I am Enough nothing else is required I am legacy of Naturally Perfect...

A Sick Grand Baby.. Healing Remedies from Boho "BOBO"




I am known to most as Boho She Wolf, but there are two very special magical darlings that call me "BOBO". I have recently had the pleasure of being back with them on a regular basis. I love the magic of children, they believe anything is possible and nothing is impossible. They dream in the natural state, they truly have not learned any other way YET.

My two year old grand darling Aiden has been fighting a chest cold for weeks now. Every time I think we got this licked it re-surfaces. I am the grams of the old ancient ways, I believe in all natural healing and remedies from our dear sweet Mother Earth. I also believe that there is a remedy for everything that ails us. So I have been watching and listening for weeks and this one has me stumped.

So I started again today with my little man, we started with totally re-vamping his diet again. This time we went with only fresh vegetables and fruits (RAW was highly recommended). We made our homemade Vapor Rub

RECIPE VAPOR RUB

1/2 cup of coconut oil
30 drops Eucalyptus oil
30 drops of Peppermint oil
mix generously
Rub directly on the front side of the chest down to the naval area. Rub the entire back area following along the lung and rib cage area. Also cover the kidney areas as well. We do house socks here, so we also rub it on his feet.

I have started to check for all kinds of allergies a trying task indeed. We continue with breathing treatments filled with colts foot herb we use the diffused oil. One can always but the bulk herb and boil it down to get the consistency needed for the breathing treatment. I know I am missing something, I just can't put my finger on it. I would love to hear some of the remedies every one else had used and is tried and true.

We also are monitoring his rest and down time. Also very trying with a two year old. I also implemented a healing meditation that he listens to through the I-pod, it is engaging enough for him to get a least of good dose of energy.

I have made up a dose of the best congestion tea I have ever come across and trust me I am old, so have tried many. This one is the simplest and most effective, I don't start the cold season without lots and lots of batches. Now the recipe will follow, but if you are making it the wee ones, then you have to change it up a bit cause their palettes are little more sensitive.

 RECIPE FOR CHEST CONGESTION (batch)

Ginger- 2 large peeled and shredded
Honey- organic is best, (extra bonus helps with allergies) I use 1 cup this varies to taste
Lemon- 4 big lemons extract all the juice but save the rinds.
Garlic- 4 gloves crushed
Raw Onion- 1 medium raw onion diced very very fine.
and I add a bit of cranberry concentrate to soften the blow of the taste for the kiddos.
I also use a green tea or white tea. - fresh leaves are best but bags will do use organic.

Cut and mix all ingredients mix together in a large mason jar. Let sit for 1 hour or more. Make ahead of time and store in nice cool space to ferment. Then boil the tea and steep for 15 minutes add two teaspoons full to each cup of tea. I place the kiddos in the freezer for a bit also add crushed ice and they guzzle it down.



Bobo's day today was all about healing and getting out of myself by engaging to help someone else. My agenda was to help my poor little wee one, and in turn it helped me as well. I needed a moment outside myself today, and this was the perfect outlet. I am truly blessed and so grateful that the universe continues to show me solutions and graces me so much beauty in my life. I am one lucky BOBO....
