Holding on to anger, resentments, hurt and pain rather than forgiving is something that is very detrimental to our health.

When we can resolve major issues like power, control,
abandonment, jealousy, and anger issues the sooner we can move out of the drama and into a really creative, productive and exciting life in which we are truly growing!

When we overeat eat cooked foods, processed foods, junk foods, packaged foods loaded with chemicals, over-salty & over-flavoured foods, or we overeat then our colon is stressed. And when our colon is stressed, we are stressed. And then it’s much harder to be kind, positive, loving or forgiving.

We are so addicted to foods that harm us. And so it is easy to get addicted to addictive negative
emotions that harm us too.

And just as much it’s easy to get addicted to anger, hate, confusion, sadness, despair. Powerful emotions generating powerful addictive chemicals in our body.

But when we eat a raw diet, it’s possible to break the cycle. Diet and emotions work together in so many ways. And interesting that eating a diet which is not addictive in any way, we become free of addictions. We think more clearly. We aren’t so easily stressed.

This is what we focus on our retreats. We do a week of raw food, eating our way into health one bite at a time. We workout and bring play back into our life. And we do our inner work. And together these planes support each-other to generate a huge forward momentum that we are truly shift into a whole new way of life and a whole new level of vibrancy!

We offer personalised retreats to support you in any transition; a holiday just for you. Please see our personalised page for all the details.

I don’t think there are many people who haven’t wanted to stick their heads in the sand (and never pull them out) after feeling like they got a slap in the face from something or someone they really wanted.  Rejection plain ole doesn’t feel good, no matter who you are. The ego is a fragile thing.

Alas, there is a silver lining to this dark cloud.  The beauty of it all is that as hard as it may be in the moment that we feel we are being rejected, we always seem to survive, don’t we? What we feel that we lose in life affects us only in the way we allow it to.

Life is full of rejections, some more significant and life-changing than others. What road we take from there depends on a lot on which direction we decide to take afterwards and somewhat in the direction that life takes us in on its own.

We can either see a rejection as a roadblock or we can see it as an opportunity to move on to something better.  Whenever we find ourselves in a situation in which we have lost something that we were not ready to let go of yet, we could always look back at other times in which we felt this way and see how far we have come from then to now.

We need to keep asking ourselves if it’s going to matter a week from now, a month from now, a year from now or how about 10 years from now? The answer if we really think clearly about it, is that it probably won’t matter at all.

It’s crucial that we keep all of the life’s rejections in perspective or we may end up repeatedly missing out on a lot of spectacular, life-changing stuff that comes next on the changing road of life.

And …wouldn’t that be a shame?

Any stress or mental discomfort seems to originate in the mind – which often then infects the physical as well. Tension.

People who have a mindless moment, like a Satori, seem to be at peace – The Peace That Passeth All Understanding.

So that could bring up the question of how is it the mind is so active?

It is there to take care of us. If we are not present, which is most of the time, we may not recognise a possible danger.

Trouble is, the mind is rather crude, so misses the subtle.

It can only access the past, so to be on the safe side it tends to be either pessimistic of optimistic – thus missing any possibility of anything new.

Scientists are now telling us that we have more thinking cells in our heart, and belly, than we do in our head – so there are other possibilities.

So in order to access any new suggestions from these centres we need to learn how to listen.

So the suggestion is to spend a little time each day listening to what the other centres may be attempting to communicate to us.

It can be called the Intuition.

Some scientists are now saying that there may not be anything like what we call time, and what we call the past and future may be generated in our minds.

If that is so, maybe psychics are accessing our possible future?

And if they can do it, so can we – if we give it a chance – by being a bit more accessible.

As a teacher I am always trying to demonstrate active movement and show where movement may be coming from. Sometimes this is tricky because what you see may not be where the movement arises.
