New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| Julius Caesar was born on this day, and gives his name to the month of July. The Anglo-Saxon names for July are Heymonath and Maed monath, which refer to haymaking and flowering meadows.
Summer's bounty of flowers can be a balm to the soul. If you don't have your own garden, visit a public one or one at a friend's house, and enjoy the sensory gifts of nature. Be sure to smell them! The healing powers of flowers are the basis of many aromatherapy cures, in particular rose, lavender, and geranium. If you're inspired to begin gardening, start with something simple like flowering annuals, which are plentiful at garden shops in summer. Petunias, pansies, mums, and impatiens are particularly colorful and long-blooming. Place pots of them near your front door to bless your home and all its visitors. Choose colors that make you feel energized. |
