I had a vision last June on the summer solstice (our first day at the farmer's market) that we as humanity had just begun the process of remembering about the importance of diet and health on the micro level- probiotics and enzymes. In the past we had known this information and were much healthier than most are today! Really health begins on the atomic level- on the level of vibration. As we know, vibration is sound and sound can either be in harmony or disharmony. Our physical forms are literally a dense vibration of atoms and molecules!
We can look at good health- mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual- as a state of harmonic balance within the vibration of our being. When we fall of out harmony, again, either mentally, physically, emotionally, or spiritually, we begin to vibrate on a disharmonic frequency, and this causes trouble! Trouble for our beings, and trouble for others, as we broadcast our disharmonic frequencies outward to the world. We can totally pick up on the "vibes" of someone who is healthy and happy, just as we can pick up on the vibes of someone who is stressed and "dis-eased." And we can break down the word disease as dis-ease, or out of ease, out of harmony. Stress is a disease in every sense of the term.
I know in my being that we as humanity are entering a phase of reharmonization. With our inner selves, with our environment, and with each other. For any change to happen, there is going to be a period of disorganization before things finally settle back into harmonic balance. That said, the consciousness on earth is changing, very quickly!
Bringing this back to relevance of how kombucha plays into all this- there is now becoming popular a raw, fermented beverage that contains these probiotics and enzymes that help re-harmonize the body on a microbe-level. Kombucha breweries are popping up left and right in America! We all seem to have this emphasis on promoting regeneration, revitalization, health, and purifying our beings. The Intention is focused on raising the harmonic vibration, with an emphasis on health and quality. This is far different from our classical soda beverage industries! I just saw this kombucha company in Portland called SOMA, and they make theirs with mantra, or a prayer or phrase repeated over and over to infuse the vibratory frequency of that intention into the kombucha itself! And then the customer is not only consuming a healthy beverage but one what has been blessed with the specific intention of raising that person's consciousness! How amazing!
Our own brew is infused with the vibrations of ancient Tibetan singing bowls, played up on the property in the Skokomish Valley where we make our brew. These bowls are hundreds of years old and come from temples and monasteries in Nepal, Tibet, and India, and resonate sacred vibrations when played. Also, our labels on our bottles are intended to infuse the kombucha with a vibration of harmony, unity, and love. If you have a bottle, take a moment to read the inscriptions on the side, and at the end take a moment of silence and examine how it makes you feel. We hope it brings some light and ease into your day! The symbol we have used to represent Rainbow Cloud is a sacred geometric pattern that is found in ancient cultures across the globe. Within the matrix of the thirteen circles contains the 5 platonic solids, or the building blocks of material reality.
It's not to say that kombucha with these extra things is better than somebody's who doesn't have Tibetan bowls or chants with a mantra over their brew, or places Quartz crystals around their brewing devices, though it is beautiful that people are putting that kinds of intention into their processes. In my opinion, anybody who is making kombucha is doing a service to society, especially the biggest company in the world, Dave's G.T. Synergy. Dave's G.T. has introduced by far the most people to kombucha, including myself, and sells incredible amounts of kombucha nationwide!
I don't look at these other companies as "competition," rather as co-creators of an environment to facilitate the changes within ourselves to resonate at a more healthily, happy, harmonic state of being! Finally the quality of things, and their consequence of consumption are more important than making something that tastes good but is unhealthy! The more kombucha, kefir, soma, herbucha, Jun (another live culture fermented beverage), and healthy local organic food is in the public presence, the more people will turn to these healthy alternatives and the more harmony they will see within themselves and as a result in the world outside themselves. It's all one!
PS: Yoga is great too, and the recent burst of popularity of yoga fits right in with the current time of ascending to greater states of harmony! Aum shanti!
