Myrtle Shrub
Just planted 25 myrtle shrubs around the front of the ashram, on either side of the front porch, and beside the junipers that yield berries. Both plants are a part of the ingredient list of a tea called Chief’s Blend, that is taken around sunset for peace and visions according to Native American stories.

Here are some other interesting stories about myrtle.
“She was standing with her locks wreathed with myrtle. She gave me a leaf and a few berries. Recovering them, I was sensible of the divine influence as well; the sky shone with greater brightness and all cares departed from my breast.” – Art of Love

The greeks held this plant sacred to Aphrodite and in Christian religion, it has been associated with the Virgin.Myrtle is the symbol of divine generosity.
Adam was expelled from Paradise he was allowed to take with him wheat, chief of foods; the date, chief of fruits; and the myrtle, chief of scented flowers.”

How Cowboy Swami Shaman Began To Write
How Cowboy Swami Shaman Began To Write (Cartoon Story)
My first toon for kids – helping them dream a better life – how they can listen to their visions and create a life of peace and paradise for themselves for their family, for their children, for others, and how to live in health and help heal mother earth.
How Cowboy Swami Shaman Began To Write
(mp3 song that goes with the story theme: listen to your intuition)
words:
Listen to yourself; good for life, its good for health
Listen your voice: your choice, it brings you joy
Intuition: it makes your life fun
