Sombre...

Did you get to see the E! Entertainment special with Wolfie this weekend? I couldn’t work out how to watch it online...we heard that the show had a bit of a ‘negative’ slant to it though, focusing a lot on the death of 5-month old raw vegan baby Wohyah Andressohn back in 2003. If you’re not familiar with the Andressohn’s story, HERE is an informative article from Jinjee, written back in 2005. In this article, Jinjee explains how baby Wohyah was born with a birth defect – DiGeorge Syndrome - he had no thymus – and that many babies with this condition die before they are 2 months old. Wohyah lived for 5 months – surely a testimony to his parents’ love. This side of the story is rarely reported however. Well, personally I’d lost track of this story and was not sure of many of the details, so was interested to at least hear something of the developments. I’m saddened however to hear that apparently his parents are still imprisoned. Hmmm...breathing deep here and sending prayers for them and their other 4 children, who were apparently taken from their parents on the day of their brother’s death, given non-raw foods and kept from their parents for many months. I don’t know where they are now – if anyone has more recent details on this case, please do let us know. Here is a statement from Lamoy Andressohn, the children's mother, which to me, clearly illustrates the love and compassion of this woman:

”God has somehow chosen me to walk this path and I’m not sure why. I know I must follow it for bigger reasons than I understand and I don’t hold any ill will toward any part of the state because they are doing what they are trained to do. I am honored that God chose me to walk this path and I will embrace it until the end. I know how much my pain and suffering will effect the rights of others and I can’t afford to be selfish knowing this will affect the rights of the children of the future who choose to live this lifestyle.”

On January the 6th I had:

1.5 quarts water
big handful of cherries
1 luscious mango
1 pint intense celery/carrot/beetroot/ginger juice
little pot of gorgeous freshly made raw banana/mango ice cream whip
little handful of dried figs dipped straight into raw tahini
3 cups water
1 pint mizuna/tatsoi/bok choi/celery/cucumber/arugula/ginger/lime/apple/carrot juice
3 ‘finger’ bananas mashed up and swirled with raw tahini, pumpkin seeds, goji berries and a diced apple
3 cups water

A man died in a car accident outside our house yesterday. Our garden backs sideways onto an old highway, which is still used by some drivers. We heard a huge bang and went out to see what had happened. We ran through the garden onto the roadside. There had been a big crash. Many cars were stopped and people were calling emergency vehicles. On the floor laid a man. A handful of people seemed to already be on the case with everything, so I kept still at the roadside and held a space of love, focusing especially on the guy on the floor. A few minutes later, he had left his body. Emergency vehicles started to arrive and he was pronounced dead. I was glad to have at least been sending love to him as he left. It was a sombre event that really ‘put things in perspective’ for me, as such dramatic scenarios tend to do. I reflected on the apparent fragile nature of things – how all which that guy had created and experienced for years here was suddenly ‘gone’ – blanked out in an instant...and on went the rest of life...people still drove down the street, the birds still sang in the trees and I noticed plants in the garden I’d never seen before as we walked solemnly back to the house... Death is not something I regularly encounter and I was drawn to think of my soul sis*star* Zoe, back in the UK, who is a nurse and works often with elderly and ill people who are close to death. She has been with many hundreds of people over the years as they pass on. She seems to approach this work with such gentle understanding and kind compassion. She has witnessed death so often, I think it’s much easier for her now to integrate it as part of the life cycle than perhaps it is for me. Today I took flowers to the place where he died, to honour his life. There were many dozens of people there, in roadside vigil. I have been sending blessings with him and to those whose lives he touched, including ours, in his closing moments here...

on January the 7th I had:

1.5 quarts water
slice of watermelon
1 juicy mango
1 quart cucumber/beetroot/apple juice
bowl of 3 finger bananas, mashed up and swirled with finely chopped basil and garlic, alfalfa, fenugreek and lentil sprouts, tahini and pumpkin seeds, with sunflower greens, cucumber sticks and a flax cracker on the side – yummmmmmmmmmmmmm
3 cups water
slice of watermelon
3 cups mizuna/tatsoi/bok choi/celery/cucumber/arugula/ginger/lime/apple/carrot juice
big handful of cherries
2 cups water

Hmmmmmm...OK then...so, I’m sorry to be heading off after such a sombre day of messaging...I'm looking forward though to going off on silent retreat tomorrow for four days. Thanks to all of you who took the time to vote in the little poll about Mr Monarch taking over blogging here for the next few days. :) I’m sorry to hear so many of you had issues locating or using the poll – thanks to all of you who emailed your responses in instead though...so...time for the verdict...de-de-de-de-de-de-de-de-deeeeeeehhhhhhh –and the answer is: he’s in ;) You voted almost unanimously to receive the Monarch musings...NICE :) Well, I do hope you enjoy his yummy sharings…so, play nicely now, petals and I’ll reconnect in a few days :) All blessings to you all...

One love,
Angela. xxx

Input, please... ;)

Thanks for all your kind messages about the crazy rains here... ;) It was amazing actually – as soon as I wrote about it all, it stopped – we woke up today to a sunny day :) It was like someone up above had forgotten to turn off the tap (faucet) and then realised... ;) I guess I’ll put the build-your-own-ark kit back in the garage for now then ;) As a result of the sun making a welcome return, today was also outlandishly humid here, as the heat evaporated up lots of the moisture we’ve been sitting in for days. The air was so thick it felt challenging to even breathe at times, let alone eat much and our appetites dramatically fell away…mainly liquids and fruits all day…I also noticed that masses of mushrooms had grown up all over the place when I went out for a walk in our area – I guess damp, dark and muggy are ideal mushroom conditions and they’ve been thriving, while everyone else has been grumbling... ;)

on January the 4th I had:

1.5 quarts water
big slice of watermelon
1 pint mizuna/tatsoi/romaine/bok choi/kale/radish/cucumber/fennel/celery/arugula/red chicory leaf/carrot/apple juice
bowl of soaked dried figs blended with hemp seed, with dried apricots dipped in raw tahini on the side – yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
3 cups water
big handful of cherries
1 pint mizuna/tatsoi/romaine/bok choi/kale/radish/cucumber/fennel/celery/arugula/red chicory leaf/carrot/apple juice
slice of watermelon
3 cups beetroot/cucumber/apple juice
1 cup water

I grabbed the opportunity to wash our clothes today while the sun was here to dry them – everything’s been damp or dirty…or both…for the last week or so ;) Now we have shiny, happy, dry clothes again and in the process I realised I’d never got round to writing here about the laundry ‘soap’ we use...why would you want to know about laundry soap, you may be wondering...well, this ain’t no ordinary soap, m’dear...in fact it’s a product I’m REALLY excited about in terms of the potential global implications for sustainability and reducing pollution. We’ve been using ‘Maggie’s Soap Nuts’ - the only laundry soap that grows on trees :) Yes, quite remarkably, these ‘soap nuts’ are simply the dried fruit of a tree – the Chinese Soapberry tree. These lychee-like fruits contain ‘saponin’, a natural cleaner used for thousands of years to clean clothes, like the plants used by Native Americans for washing. You just put a few of the soap nuts into a little cotton sack which they come supplied with and drop it in your laundry. The saponin ‘soaps up’ during the wash and your clothes come out clean, vibrant, and soft. I have truly never used anything for washing clothes that leaves them feeling so ‘silky’ and…loved. :) I think they’re amazing. They’re also obviously totally biodegradable, as well as re-usable and hypoallergenic. How exciting is THAT??? Your clothes, your skin, your family, and your planet will thank you for using them :) I love them so much that we’ve started to sell them in the RawReform Store and have them in various pack sizes, from a sweet little trial size pack of a handful of ‘nuts’ to 200 load tubs. You can see more about them in the store HERE.

on January the 5th, I had:

1.5 quarts water
big slice of watermelon
1 pint mizuna/romaine/fennel/radish/cucumber/celery/kale/bok choi/arugula/red chicory leaf/carrot/apple juice
bowl of fenugreek and lentil sprouts stirred with diced tomatoes and a bit of tahini, with another little bowl of straight sea spaghetti and sunflower greens on the side. Homemade dessert of a little bowl of tahini mixed with raw honey and cracao powder – chocolate halva – yummmmmmmmmmmmmm :)
3 cups water
slice of watermelon
1 pint mizuna/romaine/fennel/radish/cucumber/celery/kale/bok choi/arugula/red chicory leaf/carrot/apple juice
big handful of outrageously gorgeous cherries
2 cups water

I’d like your opinion on something, please. :) I’m going away on silent retreat this Tuesday, for 4 days. I’m very excited. This is something I’ve been wanting to do for many years and it has never quite flowed with schedules and locations...it seems now is the time... ;) So... where do you fit into this? Well, I’m going to be completely out of communication while I’m on retreat – no email, no blogging, no phone, no talking even...and in my absence, Mr Monarch has volunteered to take over writing the RawReform E-Journal (as a guest writer this time, rather than monkey-ing his way in... ;) Soooooooo, whaddaya reckon? Do you wanna read more musings from the Monarch for a few days? I’ve made a little poll on the RawReform site where you can easily register YOUR opinion before Monday. That seems democratic to me...it’s you who reads here, after all... ;) So, click HERE or on the poll picture to register YOUR vote. :) Just scroll down a little on the RawReform Homepage to see the poll on the right hand side... Thanks :)

One love,

H 2 Oooooooooooooooooo...

Hello :)
Here’s a question that came in recently:

What type of water do you use? I use R.O. (Reverse Osmosis) water. But a lot of books recommend distilled water, which is much more expensive, unless one has a distiller. I was curious to know -- with all the different places to which you travel -- if you do something special with your water? Ricki

Thanks Ricki :) Ok...personally, I’m not very ‘particular’ about which type of clean water I drink – spring/reverse osmosis/distilled/artesian etc – as long as it feels ‘pure’ to me, I’m happy. My first choice is water straight from source, out in nature...that feels VERY different to me than anything from a bottle that’s been sealed...even if it is a glass bottle ;) Bottled water hasn’t been moving around in air and in contact with anything very natural. At the moment we have a huge water container that we keep re-filling at a reverse osmosis water station. I made a special ‘necklace’ for the water bottle with beautiful words hanging from it like ‘peace’, ‘love’ and ‘blessed’, which we hang round the neck of the bottle each time it’s refilled. I like to let the water know we appreciate it :) We are also very blessed to actually have a FANTASTIC water supply to the taps (faucets) of this house – no chlorine or other nasties, so that feels good to shower in... Usually, unless I’m somewhere like Iceland, you’re highly unlikely to see me drink anything that has come from a tap (faucet). At a real push I’ll drink water from one of those little water jug filters...after a good blessing ;) Mr Monarch on the other hand is a HUGE fan of distilled water. He says ‘it magnetises inorganic minerals left in the system from spring water (among other things) and transports them out of your system. It is void of everything except H2O.’ He loves a bit of it. Dr. Norman Walker recommended distilled, as indeed do many - Walker wrote a great book about it all actually - 'Water Can Undermine Your Health'. That book was in fact one of the first gifts the Monarch ever gave me...lol...hmmmm...I guess I like to just be a bit of a water rebel...I can imagine we might end up owning a distiller at some point though when we live somewhere for more than a few months at a time...

on January the 2nd I had:

3 cups water
2 cups tatsoi/celery/mizuna/cucumber/radish/fennel/romaine/apple juice
1 mango
slice of the Monarch pizza, ½ an avocado, sliced tomato, lime juice, Himalayan salt, flax cracker
3 cups water
1 pint tatsoi/celery/mizuna/cucumber/radish/fennel/romaine/apple juice
bowl of leftover raw pudding (dried apricots/figs, hemp seed, tahini, sliced banana/cherries)
2 cups water
1 mango
2 cups water

On the subject of water, the RAINS here at the moment are...like, BIBLICAL, man ;) We’re talking 40 days and nights territory...it has very literally been raining almost constantly for perhaps a week now – I’ve lost track – it’s quite extraordinary...where does it all COME from? Interesting as well in a country that is technically in drought, to be living in such a constant deluge...the ground here is saturated – it seems it can’t take any more and the streets run like streams at the sides...wow...I did a private raw food prep class last night with a gathering of lovely friends – one of the women said when she moved to this area on the East Coast nine years ago, it rained like this, almost constantly for 9 MONTHS...amazing...and it doesn’t look likely to stop anytime soon, by all accounts...ho-hummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...might start piecing together an ark...

on January the 3rd I had:

3 cups water
1 pint tatsoi/celery/mizuna/cucumber/radish/fennel/romaine/apple juice
½ a green mamey
2 cups water
bowl of sea spaghetti with pumpkin seed butter, fresh tomato and flax crackers
2 cups water
1 cup banana/mango/mizuna/romaine/kale green smoothie
romaine wraps with sunflower seed/basil/sundried tomato/garlic spread, avocado, diced tomatoes, grated carrot/cucumber, pumpkin seeds
piece of ‘chocolate’ pie – macadamia/fig/coconut flour base, filling of banana/black sapote/cinnamon/chia, topped with banana pieces
3 cups water

Oooo la la, seems that charismatic King of Cacao, Dr Wolfe, has been flaunting his wares on ‘E Entertainment’…which is apparently a very popular US entertainment show...exciting :) Bringing raw food to the masses...he can be seen spreading the good word this Saturday – January 5th – on E Entertainment at 5pm EST in a 2 HOUR special on diet and nutrition. It seems that if you don’t have access to a TV, it might be possible to watch online at www.eonline.com... I hope so :) Enjoy :)

Incalculable joy to you,
Angela. xxx

Bring on the NEW...

Do you like Greek food? Ever had RAW Greek food? If you’re not familiar with the work of UK gourmet raw food chef Gina Panayi, you’re in for a treat... I first encountered Gina’s work a few years back at the fabulous Food of Life festival in Brighton. This was a festie based around raw/living foods, eco-living, conscious lifestyles, musical magic and more...Gina had a stall there, selling her Raw Greek creations...now, that place was PACKED that day, with all the finest raw foods the UK has to offer...chocolates, crackers, juices, cakes, salads, smoothies – you name it...and the unanimous favourite of EVERYONE I spoke to was the Raw Greek creations...perhaps it’s the novelty factor, perhaps it’s the love that Gina and her crew clearly infuse their food with...perhaps it’s the amazing taste combinations...or all of the above...whatever it is, Gina’s food is definitely LOVED and she now has a Raw Greek recipe book out, so you can learn how to recreate her masterpieces with your own Vitamix ;) We now have her book for sale in the RawReform Store – as far as we know, we’re actually the only people selling it Stateside at the moment...so, you might wanna get in quick before your other raw foodie friends get a copy and sparkle their tastebuds to pleasure paradise at your next potluck ;) Gina’s book is stuffed with raw vegan versions of Moussaka, Stuffed Vine Leaves, Frappe, Cinnamon Biscuits, Meatballs and more...it costs $22.95 and you can see more about it HERE.

Are you looking for a yummy raw place to hang out next year? Here’s a little site that you might find useful: http://www.rawcommunities.com. This has a list of – you guessed it – raw communities, worldwide…PLUS, remember to check out the Raw Permaculture Course in Hawaii in February if that appeals to you: www.livingmandala.com aaaaaaaaaaaand – guess what? There’s ANOTHER Permaculture Design Course coming up soon at another raw-friendly place: Punta Mona Community in Costa Rica. Their course runs from Jan 28th – Feb 10th at their eco-community on the east coast. I didn’t actually tread on Punta Mona ground when I was in Costa Rica this time last year – came VERY close though and I’ve been in contact with some of the lovely people there, who grow muchos amazing greens and rare plants…it’s an incredible community by all accounts – check it out at www.puntamona.org for more info :)

on December the 30th I had:

Tomorrow – January the 1st 2008 – the RawReform website is 4 years old. WOW :) Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to yoooooouuuuuuuu…what an extraordinary four years it has been…if you’ve ever wondered how the site started, here’s a little insight from a piece I wrote recently:

“British health magazine Zest wanted to run a piece on my story for their January 2004 ‘new year, new you’ edition. I was thrilled. My partner at that time was an extremely talented web designer and began to suggest we put up a website about my transformation too, to share this message. I laughed at first. At that point, the internet did not play much of a role in my life, other than reading about raw foods and emailing friends. I had certainly never considered having my own website. The more we talked about it though, the more I came to like the idea. It was in Greece in the summer of 2003 that the name ‘RawReform’ was given to me, as I wandered the sandy beaches, pondering which name would suit this venture. I began writing out the content for the website that autumn, which was a hugely cathartic experience for me. It helped me so much to see clearly the patterns I had lived out with food. I was also terrified. I had never spoken honestly with many of the people in my life and now I was about to bare my soul to the world. How would my family and old school friends react when they read my truth?
It took my partner just a few days to put the first website together. Then on January the 1st, 2004, the day my article was published in Zest magazine, RawReform.com went live…I was thrilled…and terrified ;) In the end, the reactions of my family and friends were mainly filled with love, appreciation and kindness. Mostly, people said they felt sad to read how miserable I had really been all that time, underneath the façade. Some seemed surprised that I was sharing so much personal information with the world. Others were silent. The whole experience left me with a huge sense of relief and fulfillment. I had shared my truth with the world and it did not seem to have back-lashed on me ;) I felt encouraged and supported to go on sharing my truth. People seemed to respond with great enthusiasm to my before/after pictures. After all, as the saying goes ‘a picture speaks a thousand words’ and many people seemed to draw inspiration from my photographs.
The journey of RawReform has continued to expand exponentially since those simple beginnings…and I had no idea at that point of what would unfold over the coming years via this website, my little portal to the world… ;)”

…and who knows what 2008 will hold for all of our ext-RAW-dinary adventures…I wish you yummy goal setting and even more delicious fulfillment of your deepest desires in the coming months… :)
Thanks for all your messages, comments and support this year – it is all greatly appreciated…

One love,
Angela (and Mr Monarch ;). xxx

Ancient Wisdom...

Did you know you could read the whole of the Essene Gospel of Peace online for free? I didn’t, until yesterday…then I found this Essene site and had some fun poking about and seeing what Jesus apparently shared about living foods – here’s a great excerpt from Book 1:

“I do say to you: Kill neither men, nor beasts, nor yet the food which goes into your mouth. For if you eat living food, the same will quicken you, but if you kill your food, the dead food will kill you also. For life comes only from life, and from death comes always death. For everything which kills your foods, kills your bodies also. And everything which kills your bodies kills your souls also. And your bodies become what your foods are, even as your spirits, likewise, become what your thoughts are. Therefore, eat not anything which fire, or frost, or water has destroyed. For burned, frozen and rotted foods will burn, freeze and rot your body also. Be not like the foolish husbandman who sowed in his ground cooked, and frozen, and rotten seeds. And the autumn came, and his fields bore nothing. And great was his distress. But be like that husbandman who sowed in his field living seed, and whose field bore living ears of wheat, paying a hundredfold for the seeds which he planted. For I tell you truly, live only by the fire of life, and prepare not your foods with the fire of death, which kills your foods, your bodies and your souls also."

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-HAH :) Tell it like it is, brother… ;) You can read the whole thing over at this site: http://www.essene.com/GospelOfPeace/peace1.html
Enjoy :)

on December the 27th I had:

2 cups water
1 lb cherries
1 pint all-the-greens-in-the-fridge/daikon/carrot/apple/cucumber/turmeric juice
small slice of mango/macadamia raw cheesecake with bowl of grawnola with fresh sliced banana and homemade macadamia cream
1 quart water
1 pint beet green/fennel/cucumber/lettuce/tatsoi/random greens/carrot/apple juice
bowl of cucumber cream = blended cucumber/avo/garlic/lime juice/salt with a bowl of chopped fresh tomatoes covered with basil pesto and flax crackers
3 cups water

I think it’s time to play the fun game again of ‘what have people been punching into Google to end up on this blog?’. If you’ve been reading here for a while, you’ll know I mentioned before that there is a part of the stats data for this site that shows me how people ended up looking at this blog – what they were searching for in Google which led them here…there are always some pretty fascinating enquiries in there – here are some recent examples:

*can you lose weight by eating a raw potato
*how do i make carob fudge with just water
*i have been detoxifying with bentonite my skin looks so nice
*how to get women on facebook
*cracao, Poland
*smelly pee wheatgrass
*her angry enema bag
*i ate fresh pineapple and my tongue started to bleed

...???…yeeeeeeeees…well, I do hope these people all found some kind of useful information here to serve them, if not the exact cure for bleeding tongues, smelly pee or pacifying enema bags… ;) LOL… I LOVE the idea that Krakow in Poland could be re-named ‘Cracao’ instead though – perhaps we could organise a raw chocolate party there…any readers in Poland…??? ;) As for making carob fudge with JUST water…hmmm…I’m not sure if even the master of living foods himself – Jesus – could muster that one… ;)

on December the 28th I had:

3 cups water
1lb cherries
2 mangoes
1 pint beet green/fennel/cucumber/lettuce/tatsoi/random greens/carrot/apple juice
little bowl of buckwheatie grawnola cereal with chopped fresh banana and apple
1 quart water
1.5 cups beet green/fennel/cucumber/lettuce/tatsoi/random greens/carrot/apple juice
bowl of pesto soup: basil pesto blended with fresh tomatoes, ½ a cucumber, fresh garlic and hemp seeds, with sprouted lentils stirred in for chewing, served with chilli flax crackers
3 cups water

My hair is drenched in coconut oil today. I LOVE the smell of it. I run the oil through my hair like this from time-to-time and leave it in for about a day or so, to let the hair soak up lots of yummy nutrients and get soft and sleek, then I wash it out. I used to see people coat their hair in coconut oil all the time when I lived in Sri Lanka. I thought they were crazy back then…lol…in my pre-raw days, it looked so greasy and disgusting to me, especially in a hot and humid tropical climate…well, here I am a few years later, smothered in coconut oil myself in summertime and loving it ;) My favourite coconut oil is made by Cocopura (see HERE) – it feels soooooo clean and pure to me, smells fantastic, tastes great and comes in glass packaging too, to keep it more stable. It’s hand-harvested in the South Pacific Islands – not so far from where I am now…actually, I’m rather surprised at the scarcity of coconuts here in OZ – any that I have seen are either the imported white-husk young Thai Coconuts or big orange fresh cocos that are $5 EACH…huh??? Looking forward to getting to Thailand in a few months and back to an abundance of fresh cocos – yummmmmmm… ;)

One love,
Angela. xxx

Gifts of Inspiration...

Hello again :)
I hope you had a wonderful time over the Christmas days…I had a really enjoyable, relaxing time…I feel really rejuvenated…
One of the greatest gifts I received at this time was being guided towards the music of my new musical heroine – Allison Crowe. I had been asking Spirit for inspiration about the music in my life and then by some ‘random’ net-search twist, completely unrelated to music, I ended up watching the video below. I was absolutely smitten on the first play. I have quite probably listened to this song around 60+ times since…it is, to me, a simply magnificent interpretation of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’, sung by the uber-talented pianist Allison. She is phenomenal. Apparently she’s 26 years old, from Nanaimo, BC, Canada and is a completely independent artist. She has her own record label and seems to be doing incredibly well – from listening to her music, it’s not hard to understand why. The spirit moving through this woman is so clear – the emotions are raw to the core…the sincerity and reverence with which she sings moves me to tears. I am also in love with her versions of ‘Angel’ by Sarah McLachlan and ‘River’ by Joni Mitchell. I recommend listening with earphones for full appreciation :) Check out the video below and her site at http://www.allisoncrowe.com.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIMOdVXAPJ0

on December the 25th I had:

3 cups water
parts of a huge watermelon throughout the day – about 2/3rds of it in total
2 cups water
1 pint tatsoi/bok choy/cucumber/arugula/parsley/radish/kale/all-kinds-of-greens/carrot/apple juice
little bowl of apple-flax – ground flax seed stirred into blended apples, with a little cinnamon, goji berries and hemp seeds

Christmas Day was my first day of eating solids again after my 7-day psyllium-bentonite cleanse. I mono-mealed watermelon for most of the day and LOVED it :) We had a really chilled day – we went to the beach and walked in the sun out to a lookout point where there were pods of dolphins swimming round a cape :) It was gorgeous…such a wonderful Christmas gift :) I spent most of the day out in nature – my ‘church’ – it was blissful, laying on the beach, eating watermelon, watching kids playing happily in the ocean…a very very different kind of Christmas than the ones I knew as a kid growing up in the south of England… ;) I got to speak to all my family in the UK too – due to the time difference they were just starting out their Christmas celebrations as we were winding ours’ down…it felt good to connect and especially to speak to my delightful three year old niece who was extremely excited about it all…ahhhhh, there is much that I appreciate about the spirit of this time of year…

On December the 26th I had:

3 cups water
1 cup beetroot/apple juice
1.5 cups tatsoi/bok choy/cucumber/arugula/parsley/radish/kale/all-kinds-of-greens/carrot/apple juice
little bowl of apple-flax – ground flax seed stirred into blended apples, with a little cinnamon, goji berries and pumpkin seeds
1 pint all-the-greens-in-the-fridge/daikon/carrot/apple/cucumber/turmeric juice
small slice of divine mango/macadamia raw cheesecake
bowl of grawnola with fresh sliced apple and banana and homemade macadamia cream
2 cups water

A Time of Love...

Sleigh bells ring, are you listening? In the streets, snow is glistening…well, not here in Australia actually…yet with some of you though I hope… ;) WOW…what a magical time this is…Solstice, Hanukkah, Christmas and all sorts of other yum-fests and reflections occurring worldwide simultaneously and under the loving gaze of the Full Moon in Cancer…how blessed we are :) Wherever you are and however you may be enjoying this ‘Holiday’ period, I send you bountiful wishes of joy, upliftment and peaceful unity…
Here’s a little of what astrologer Lisa Dale Miller shares about this full moon:
http://astrowisdom.com/thisfullmoon.htm

“This is the Full Moon to swim in the unbounded ocean of love that connects us with the rhythm of life and all other sentient beings.
This is that once a year when the Full Moon is posited in the astrological sign it rules, making the force of love and trust so abundant that the heart just naturally opens.
Make this a “get real and get committed” Full Moon: a Moon for setting an intention to love yourself and others even through the hard times. Cancer rules emotional healing of all kinds and this is the Full Moon to make an effort to bring love back to all your relationships; especially between family members.
This is the Full Moon to stop and really appreciate our loved ones: to fully embrace them, look deeply into their eyes and let our hearts soar in the recognition of oneness. It is also a great Full Moon to do something wonderful for the primary caregiver in your family.
Cancer’s greatest gift is the consideration of the needs of others over our own needs. To help others and relieve suffering is strengthening for everyone: to disregard others, only weakens oneself.”

Mmmmm…what a fitting end to the major moon cycles of this year :) To check out Lisa’s full account, see HERE.

Here’s a quick question that came in a couple of days ago as a blog comment:

“When you make a green juice, Do you put it in a Vitamix and then nut milk bag? Why do people do this? It seems like the hard way to me...Please help!”
Laura

Hmmmmm…thanks for the Q, Laura…my current answer is that I do not use a Vitamix to make juice. We use a twin gear juicer – examples of which you can see HERE. When I was Juice Feasting this time last year, I did often use the Vitamix/nut milk bag combo however, as I didn’t have a good juicer on hand at that time in Costa Rica and actually also found it a lot easier and faster to use the blender anyway. Using the blender is MUCH faster in comparison to a quality, twin gear juicer – both in terms of food prep time (no need to cut veggies small to fit in juicer hole), machine use time and time spent cleaning afterwards. The downside is that using the blender/nut milk method leaves you with a less high-quality juice, which oxides faster and has often been mixed with a little water. HOWEVER, many people are still happy to choose the blender option, when the time/cleaning benefits are considered. Now, in comparison to the speed of using, for example a Breville Juice Fountain of course, the blender/nut-milk bag method may seem clumsy and pointless. The amount of liquid you actually get out of the produce when using something like a Juice Fountain though is less than using a twin gear OR the blender method, if you’re thoroughly squeezing the contents of the nut milk bag that is ;) Personally, I prefer to always use a nut milk bag to double-strain juice anyway, even if it’s from a twin gear, as there is always SOME pulp left in the juice and I want it as obstruction-free as possible… Hope that all made some sense – there are advantages and pitfalls to all the methods described – it just depends what suits your lifestyle and choices best… ;)

So, today has been the 7th and final day of my Psyllium-Bentonite Cleanse. It’s been a great experience overall. I’ve released a LOT of old dark nasty stuff from my intestines and my energy has been pretty good throughout. Compared to my energy levels when I first did a cleanse like this, abt 4 years ago, my energy levels this time were superb ;) Back then I was almost incapacitated – I spent most of the week in bed. I’d only been raw for about a year at that point – and abt 70% raw, not fully raw like I am now, PLUS, I’d never done any colon cleansing at that point, so it was all very new to me. This time round I’ve been very functional in comparison ;)
I’m definitely excited to get back to eating solids tomorrow though and not be doing full-on enemas twice a day ;) Very different to the end of my Juice Feast back in February – as you may recall, I was not at all excited to get back to solid foods back then. Watermelons are just looking so appealing to me to EAT now though :) Tomorrow is Christmas Day here and I intend to celebrate my Christmas gift to myself of a freshly cleaned out system by gently mono-mealing on melon :) YUMMMMMMMMMM… Would I do a cleanse like this again? Yep...not for a good few years again though, if at all - it's a pretty hardcore process...

If YOU want to enjoy a cleanse soon, after the usual ravages of this season, do take a look at what Steve at Raw Vegan Radio is up to – he’s hosting the ‘Biggest Group Cleanse, EVER’, starting on January the 7th for 21 days, with tons of online support through e-books, podcasts, webinars and more…you can see all about it HERE. (Worth taking a look, if only to see Steve’s before and after pics – WOW – I’ve never seen his 'before' shot before – pretty impressive transformation… :)

Blissful Holidays to All :)

Raw Radiance...

Looking for smthg inspiring for the New Year? Well, here is an opportunity not to be overlooked…there’s a course coming up soon in Hawai’i that I would attend in a heartbeat if I was able to go there…it’s a RAW Permaculture Course. YUMM. This is one thing that's been on my personal goal list for years…If the term ‘Permaculture’ is unfamiliar to you, it is a union of the words ‘permanent’ and ‘agriculture’ and is based around creating SUSTAINABLE living systems – for our gardens, homes, communities and more…It is all about working WITH nature and mimicking natural ecosystems. The intention is to move away from reliance on industrial systems of production and distribution. Permaculture was developed HERE actually, in Australia back in the 70s, by David Holmgren and Bill Mollison, who’s still running courses now :) I have long wanted to do the full-length Permaculture Design Course and am SO excited to see people holding RAW versions of the course – this is (unfortunately) rare it seems – the only people I’ve known to hold RAW Permaculture courses so far are the lovely Steve Charter in the UK/Spain and now this team behind the upcoming courses on Hawai’i – the beautifully named ‘Living Mandala’. There are actually going to be two courses running back-to-back – firstly a 2-week Permaculture Design Course from February the 3rd-19th, then later a hands-in-the-dirt Practicum from Feb 24th-29th. Participants get to learn in a tropical paradise, share with other like-minded yumsters, receive certification for both courses AND eat luscious raw food the whole time (made by someone else – nice – PLUS – other food options available if you’re not up for full-on raw… ;)…sounds blissful…hope it all rocks on in 2009 too, so I can play as well…in the meantime, if this is tickling YOUR interest nodules, do check out their website here for more info: http://www.livingmandala.com

My psyllium-bentonite cleanse is still going grand. I’m at the end of day 5 as I write this…I've actually started to see some sections of the ‘black-tyre-rubber’ stuff come out of me. Nice. I've started using additives in the enema water like liquefied, strained garlic water or liquid bentonite. I LOVE the psyllium and bentonite products from the 7-Day Cleanse that I’m using. They’re the ones Bernard Jensen recommends in his book and they’re so quaint and old-fashioned looking ;) They also seem extremely high quality to me – I love that the psyllium is powdered – it seems to make it much more user-friendly to me than the full husk, which I’m used to using… I am brushing my teeth a LOT – about 8-10 times a day at the moment – there’s a lot of apple juice, honey, juices etc going in and I can’t bear the fuzzy-teeth feeling, so, much scrubbing is the answer ;) My energy today has been really great. I find that as long as I take time to rest after the morning enema sessions, I feel good for the rest of the day. I’m definitely at a much slower walking pace than normal though – I also stand up slowly after being seated for a while, as my blood pressure is pretty low right now… I also notice how sensitive I’m becoming to chemicals. We went to some shops a couple of days ago and one that had a lot of plastic items in it was almost unbearable for me – it felt SO toxic to breathe in there for me…I recall having similar experiences last year in Costa Rica on my Juice Feast and starting to consider just how far it might be beneficial in our modern world to keep on detoxing/ cleansing…there simply comes a point when being in a city full of pollution, for example, feels deadly, if you’re extremely ‘clean’. Those of you who’ve read Mr Monarch’s latest book – Raw Success – will know that he goes deep into these environmental factors in regards to our food/lifestyle choices…it’s a big area to consider...hmmmm... ;)

Almonds, almonds everywhere and not a bite to eat...

OOooooo, this is exciting…did you see the recent almond update from Cornucopia.org? Some of the magic peoples from there went recently to Washington DC and met with 3 high-ranking USDA officials, to discuss the future of the almonds…eeeeek ;)
Inspiringly, they report that around HALF of the comments coming into the Secretary of the USDA’s office at the moment are regarding the almonds – WOW…and this seems to be having an impact…
Cornucopia set forth 2 suggestions for alternative strategies with the almonds. The first was that those who sell ‘unpasteurised’ almonds would have a ‘warning label’ to use on the product. This would leave the choice to the consumer.
The other suggestion is that the pasteurisation ruling would not apply to organic farmers, as their ‘rules’ are different anyway and there has never been any association between organic almonds and salmonella. (They are concerned however that this option might negatively impact small conventional growers.)
Now Cornucopia are eager to keep up the flow of letters, calls and emails to the USDA on this matter, to keep the pressure and focus on this key issue. You can visit their site to download a ‘proxy letter’ to send on to the USDA. Go to www.cornucopia.org, go to the Authentic Almond Project link on the left hand navigation column and find the proxy forms there. This is a critical point in this campaign...
If we pull together and act now, there still may be a chance to turn this ruling around and cease ‘nuking the nuts ;)

Today was day three of my 7-Day psyllium-bentonite cleanse and I’m enjoying it so far. One of the things I appreciate about this cleanse is that one drinks smthg ‘nourishing’ every 1.5 hours. I like the pace of this…every time I start to feel hunger, it’s not long before the next drink comes…which alternates between ‘The Cleansing Drink’ concoctions and yummy veggie juice. I am doing an adaptation of Bernard Jensen’s cleanse, replacing all the supplements he suggests with veggie juice instead… So, what’s been happening for me with it? Well, yesterday I felt very cold a lot of the time…it’s summertime here, yet I was dressed in thick socks, a long skirt and a warm hoodie. My nose has been running a great deal. I have a feeling of ‘lightness’ and am noticing that my thought patterns are slower and I’m forgetting things more often…;) Seems the psyllium is cleaning out my brain as well as my intestines…lol… I’ve been getting a LOT of rest and doing my best to conserve energy during each day – i.e. cutting back the number of Tibetan Rites yoga repetitions in the morning from my usual 12 to just 3 of each move instead…I like to try to pace myself like this, rather than ‘crashing’ in the middle of the day…
The cleanse involves colon cleansing twice daily – morning and evening. Hence, it’s a pretty intensive programme, between that and the drinks every 1.5 hours. Jensen recommends using a colema board…I’m using a 6-quart ‘pro’ enema bag instead…I find that much more convenient. So far I’ve been releasing some pretty dark stuff with the enemas. I haven’t noticed any of the textbook ‘black tyre rubber’ nasty stuff yet…might be that it comes in the next few days…might be that I’ve already cleared lots of it…we’ll see ;) As I wrote before, it’s been about 4 years since I did a cleanse like this and I got some pretty interesting stuff last time – old lymph, mucus, dark old mucoid plaque etc…I’d been raw for about 1.5 years at that time, so I’m intrigued to see what happens now, after 5.5 years of this lifestyle… The main thing I’m seeking to release with this cleanse is old waste in the SMALL intestines. That is where the majority of ‘mucoid plaque’ resides and using a cleansing system like this can be very beneficial for releasing nasty old stuff and rejuvenating the body…as some of you may remember, Mr Monarch recounts his experience of doing this cleanse in ‘Raw Spirit’. He’d been raw for 6 months when he did it and on the final colon cleansing session, he had a huge release and his third eye chakra burst into effervesence and started vibrating…much to his surprise and confusion ;) Well…my third eye re-activated a few years back now…I’m excited to see what other shifts this cleanse brings me though... ;)
