Multipurpose Multi-topic Blog: Permaculture for Humans

This blog will be all over the map, so I will title each segment to give readers a head's-up so they can choose what to read based on their own interest. Here are some of the areas I expect to cover:
Embodied consciousness awakening (Waking Down in Mutuality, Deeksha, 12 Steps, Integral Spirituality, Thich Nhat Hanh, etc.)
Creative expression (knitting, artwork, writing, etc.)
Sustainable gardening 
Transforming conflict
Paleo diet/cooking
Reclaiming health (generally and for autoimmune, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue)

I will be conversational in tone and probably leave out some background information for brevity and ease, but if you have questions please write me and I will try to fill in the gaps. Feel free to take what you like and leave the rest :-) I expect people to read just the sections that interest them.

Fibro/Autoimmune: Started Low-dose Naltrexone

I started 1.5 mg of low-dose Naltrexone (LDN) on April 17. Here is the link to read about the drug http://www.lowdosenaltrexone.org/
There is some decent evidence that it is useful in fibro and chronic fatigue (FM/CFS). Some people reason that this means that FM/CFS is autoimmune in origin. It may be that LDN has other mechanisms of action though too. I am keeping track of my starting levels on a variety of symptoms, and will track that at 28 days out and report. It takes 28 days for full saturation in the body, but longer than that to see full effect I expect.

I'm on the Learning Curve!

As a blogging newbie, I'm beginning to explore the bells and whistles available. Seemingly, there is a way to add labels to my different posts – I would really like that, because I'm aware that there is no "average reader". Each person has different interests.

I am also intrigued by ways to add gadgets to help people follow my blog, and all kinds of other cool things.

Today I'm interested in talking about how we can maintain our own safety, and I'm talking emotional safety, when we're in a group of people, especially a group dedicated to "digging deep", recovery, transforming conflict or even awakening. Read on!
