The Motivation: End my Migraines! 

The idea for the award-winning CD, Seasons of the Soul, came from my own healing experience. I had struggled for years with all sorts of mysterious illnesses. None of my symptoms added up to a specific diagnosis, and so none of the treatments I tried worked completely. 

When the mystery illness evolved into a migraine that wouldn't stop, I became a gentle warrior for my own health. I worked with a talented acupuncturist on Hawai'i Island, and when I became too sensitive for needles, she taught me how to adjust my energy, and reduce the headaches, by what foods I ate. 

Connecting Food to Seasons

I ate what she recommended, and then gradually wanted to know why she was recommending these foods to me. She pointed me to a wonderful book called, Healing With Whole Foods by Paul Pitchford. It is a tome and dominates the cookbook shelf in the kitchen. 

Moving into Alignment with the Seasons

Since I had already experienced good results treating the still mysterious headache with other aspects of Chinese medicine, I decided it would be an interesting experiment to try on the other seasons with a Chinese flavor to them. 

Spring is the new beginning, the time of year to rise early with the Sun. Plants push upwards after winter's slumber. Any residual dissatisfaction, impatience and anger disappear at the sight of the green shoots of newness.
