During David Crow’s talk at the sixth annual National Ayurvedic Medical
Association conference, I felt the message he was imparting was the single
most important talk given throughout the conference. Those of us intimately
involved in Ayurveda understand its benefit as a healing modality that
comprehensively addresses the relationships among body, mind and spirit.
Ayurveda is also a system that provides a powerful means for healing the
relationships in our community, society and our essential relationship with
the Earth. We all need to listen to David’s words on these issues. We all
need to heed this call. Ayurveda can be an answer to the burning crises of
today. David Crow, who tirelessly roams the planet shifting paradigms, doing
the work, planting the seeds (literal and figurative) and spreading the
message, is an inspiration. Please listen to this talk.

Thank you David for all that you do.
I have been talking with some of the folks involved with the Afghani Arghand Cooperative (www.arghand.org) started by the brave and beautiful Sarah Chayes after spending time in Kandahar covering the war for NPR. Now the coop is creating opportunities for the locals to use their native flora to create soaps and oils as a source of income.
It seems an ideal pairing to explore the possibility of some of the Afghan essential oils from Arghand for sale through your beautiful portal. Just a thought …
Thank you, too, for the NAMA postings.
