Rawdon Helping Japan – 世界が日本を助けることができる

World-Japan-Relief Rev1 世界が日本を助けることができる

 A friend of mine, who I will call Gringo, met my wife downtown, in our small hamlet of Rawdon, and started speaking to her about the earth quake and it’s awful impact on the people of Japan. He told her that he would like to do something about it, but the only way he could think of is over the internet. So my wife says to him that “my husband is somewhat of a nerd” – I protest – “ and maybe he could help set something up over the internet.

When my wife got home she laid this on me, and I said… “When do we start?”

That very afternoon I began by doing a search for free sign-up lists. Well I found a few free sign-up lists, but none with the calibre of Sage Point. When Vivian at Sage¨Point saw our entry, she was there to give us a hand to set things up, in a flash.

Ah, but I digress. This in fact is a very serious issue. We have set up a sign-up sheet no. 1 to find people on our humble planet, who are willing, in some way, to help our family from Japan, buy supplying them with various goods and services, such as, cloths, food, shelter, etc. all is very well spelled out on the sign-up sheet.

After we have had enough volunteers, we will create another sign-up sheet in Japanese, letting the Japanese people know that we are here and ready to help them in any way we can.

Having said that, I would like to direct you to the link below, where you can, at least, take and distribute it amongst your friends and colleges. And for those of you who have the means – space, money, cloths – individuals, church groups and other social service groups and philanthropic types, can take up the challenge to give substantial help.

And please, those of you that have a spiritual bent, assisting in this and project like it, will help lead anyone to better dharma (good karma) – bri heart1

Calculating Trays: 

Okay, down to the home stretch. These little illustrations that I put together here using my trusty Xara Graphics program – a little plug for my affiliate – are to help me explain how to determine the amount of berries to use for a tray of a certain size. For those of you who are mathematically inclined it will be easy. For the rest of us, it takes effort. I will try to explain it, in a way, that won’t take more effort than needed.

I’m basing this  calculation on trays that are 32 x 53 cm which equals 1696 sq cm (you can convert to inches for free online at:

[This is a small, free program For windows:

Right on the internet, no program to download.:

So you have 1696 sq cm and you use 300 grams of wheat berries.  

In order to calculate your needs, and I would recommend that you get as close to this size as possible, for convenience sake, you measure two sides of the tray (i.e. 26 cm x 37 cm = 962) and you multiply them together. That gives you a dimension of 962 cm sq. Since the 300g of grains are based on 1696 cm sq you have to divide 962, the total square centimetres of your trays, by 1696 the total square centimetres of the tray that takes 300g of grain.

In this case that will give us .56. Since that represents a percentage of the 300g of grain, we just have to multiply the 300g by .56 = that equals 168g of grains for your trays. You can round that up to 170g of course. Next!

Getting your hands dirty: 

Now, you place good black earth on the tray or trays you are going to use. Stretch it to the edges. Then place the germinated sprouts on top of that, going a quarter to one half inch to the side. Suzanne sprays this with algae – maybe she will let us in on her secret? – and then waters them, till the water shows on the sides.

This is done one or two times a day, depending on your availability and the needs of the plant.

You should have a seven inch plant, in about 7 days. 17.78 cm just doesn’t have the poetry as does seven inches, I don’t feel.

Now you are ready to use it. Be sure to cut the grass as close to the soil as possible, because that is where a

lot of the chlorophyll, and other important juice, are found, don’t miss it. You will have to have a very good juicer if you plan to turn it into juice. If you have questions on what types of juicers there are out there, or anything else in which I have knowledge,  contact me. You can reach me at my new contact page:

Hope this little article has been helpful. If you have any other subjects that you’d like me to address, I take suggestions, and give them consideration…

I wish you all great love, Sat Nam, same thing, kinda.

A bit of a recap from Step 1.

You empty the water from the overnight soak, by leaving the cheesecloth on and tipping the water into the sink. Once the jar is empty, you refill it with water. slosh it around to rinse. You repeat this a few times. This removes the tannins and makes it easier for the berry to  sprout.

After you have rinsed the berries three or four times, you empty the jar and place it on the counter, tilted at an angle, so it can drain. You should put a cloth under the jar, or put it in a draining board. What ever works for you.

You do this for about three days, although it could be ready in two days, as you want the sprout to be about the same length as the original berry. The amount of time it takes depends on the environment of the area you are working in – kitchen – bathroom – laundry room, etc. The closer you are to a sink , for rinsing, and a window, for sunlight, the better, although for the sprouting part you don’t really need sunlight, that is just for the final growing. If you wish you might even consider using UV lamps. I don’t go into  that here though. 

Now, onto part three.

Abraham – Hicks: About Money

Many people protest when we explain to them the power of telling the story of their finances as they want it to be rather than as it is, because they believe that they should be factual about what is happening. But if you continue to look at lackful what-is and speak of what-is, you will not find the improvement that you desire. If you want to effect substantial change in your life experience, you must think thoughts that feel different as you think them.
