We are appreciating every day more and more as we talk to our families in Germany and to friends in UK and the USA.

Daylight is getting shorter, temperatures are dropping and the summer is gone.

Not for us.

We have the rainy season right now which means that it rains every day, usually in the afternoon.
But it is warm -very warm- always! We have green plants and jungle wherever we look and the kids love the rain, as even the rain is warm.
They play with the stream coming out of the gutter at the roof of our house and play all sorts of funny games chasing each other through the monsoon rain.


This is the very first cake our kids did by themself!
Look how proud they are!


Apart from this we received an incredible feedback regarding the Raw Mom-cooked dad event, as a lot of people - including ourselves - enjoyed this inspirational and informative summit I had the honor being part of.

Regarding this we want to welcome a few hundred new subscribers to our e-zine. A warm "Welcome" to all new readers from Katie, Ka and the kids of The Rawfoodfamily.

Katie and I also think about taking this e-zine and our whole website to a new level, as we do not only want to talk about raw food and children, but more topics.

The Rawfoodfamily stands for more than that. As we inspire not only moms and families but conscious people in general to make healthy food choices, we feel that we need to open up to a broader audience. You can stay tuned for changes regarding our whole Rawfoodfamily website and business to embrace more people in our growing community,....

We are doing a lot of work in the background to make the Raw Transformation Retreat possible, which will be held from the 27th of November till the 5th of December 2010 here in Costa Rica.

We are very excited and passionate to make it available especially for single moms and also families. We will be there with our 4 kids as well and know about the problems to make such a thing happen.

There are still some places available, and we want to welcome you to have a look at http://www.KaSundance.com/Family-Retreat.php

Katie will be looking after the kids, when we adults will do the lectures and exercises, so you are warmly welcome to come with your children.

Just have a look at http://www.KaSundance.com/Family-Retreat.php

Apart from all these activities are we working on optimizing our environment just to be able to do our online business in a more effective way, and also have more and more time free for our kids.

We have already help in the house so we do not have to care about cleaning and juicing, but we have expanded the time of our little Costa Rica-fairy (who we pay triple the normal price as we are so thankful for her help!) to come to our house every morning at 6 am to juice 4 liters green juice for us.

That is such a relief, as this work takes about 1 hour, and we did it for the last 5 years ourselves - every single morning.

Now Katie and I have time to wake up slowly, stay with our kids and feel safe and abundant. Coming from being poor, relying on payments of housing benefits in the UK only a year ago, we have come a long way. We are manifesting the life in paradise with the business of our dreams making good money helping other people. We made it!

We are blessed and send prayers of gratitude to the universe every day.

Love and Sunshine Katie and Ka Sundance

Gratitude in advance

Gratitude In Advance

Some years ago my van got stolen from a Home Depot parking lot. Inside the van were my altar, drum and eagle feathers, $600 dollars in quarters, (my life’s savings), and $600 in donation money, (to be used for spiritual purposes only). Walking home in shock, I kept repeating to myself; “Thank you for the gift in this difficulty. Thank you for the gift in this difficulty…”. It helped. One close friend said; “Everything comes back.” That felt good.

On the way to the next sweat, I stopped at a friend’s house to borrow a drum. I saw another friend to borrow an eagle feather and some dry sage. I arrived at the lodge with no altar, no cedar or sweet grass, just me and my ceremony. The sweat was deep, beautiful and powerful. I felt so blessed.

On the way home I stopped to return the drum and it was given to me. I stopped to return the eagle feather and sage and the feather was given to me. When I arrived home I learned that my brother had come into a chunk of money and was splitting it up amongst the family. He handed me an envelope containing $1200. A week later, the police found my van. The money was gone but my “sacreds” were unharmed. It all came back. I felt so blessed.

I had trusted the wisdom and love of the universe that it was all for good reason, and I awaited the gift. What came back was not only all the materials, but also a deeper appreciation for and from my loved ones, the excitement and gratitude I experienced when I found my sacreds entact, a demonstration that “sacreds” are just things, but the medicine is always with me, and a demonstration that I am loved by All That Is.

Two weeks later another gift presented itself. I had only been doing requested sweats but people were wanting to sweat regularly. I made the commitment and wrote a letter to announce open sweats. As I was walking up to the post office with this box of 40 Sweat letters, (it was before email), I ran into Red Buffalo, standing by the door. He was a homeless man I’d met some months before, at another cosmic moment, in another part of the city. He was dirty and sweaty and I think drunk. When I walked up to him he got teary, looked down, put his hand on his chest and sadly asked; “Is it bad if you loose your medicine pouch?” The words were close at hand and I answered, “The pouch is just a thing, brother. You got the medicine right there inside.” He lightened up and we talked a little and after singing a bear calling song together (in the Tarzana post office parking lot), he was gone. Again I felt so blessed.

What might have been considered a heavy loss, turned out to be countless blessings, not just for me but also to pass along. “Gratitude in advance” requires a trust in the universe that there really is a gift in every difficulty, and it's that trust that opens the door to "Magic".


P.S.
I think Red Buffalo to be a shaman or a spirit helper. The first time I met him was the night before my birthday when I would be going to Catalina for the first time. I was feeling a bit low, questioning my path, and meeting him revived and inspired me and I felt blessed. The next morning I got off the boat at the island and there, on top of the ticket booth was a plastic full sized Buffalo, with a Red coat on.

Thoughts, Words, Deeds, Character : )

October 7, 2010 — Contributed by CiCi Ellienne : )

To go along with Ka's inspiring videos, here are some lovely quotes of the day to help us be the happiest and best, possible. : )

“The thought manifests as the word,
the word manifests as the deed.
The deed develops into habit,
habit hardens into character.
So watch the thought
and its ways with care;
Let it spring from love
born out of concern for all beings.
As the shadow follows the body…
As we think, so we become.”
- Siddhartha Gautama

~~~

“The secret of health
for both mind and body
is not to mourn for the past,
worry about the future
or anticipate troubles,
but to live in the present moment,
wisely and earnestly.”
- Siddhartha Gautama

~~~

“Sow a thought, and you reap an act;
Sow an act, and you reap a habit;
Sow a habit, and you reap a character;
Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.”
- Charles Reade


“Watch your thoughts, for they become words.
Choose your words, for they become actions.
Understand your actions, for they become habits.
Study your habits, for they will become your character.
Develop your character, for it becomes your destiny.”
- Anonymous

“Energy Flows Where Attention Goes.”
- Anonymous

and Then…

“Energy Flows Where Love Grows!”

Gonna Kick Some Ka Into Me! A Coaching Session With Ka Sundance

Written by Tera Warner from The Raw Divas

In preparing for our Raw Mom, Cooked Dad event, I’ve been very busy conducting interviews with some amazing people. They all leave me with SOMETHING special, profound or life-changing–like an anchor that settles itself into the seat of my soul.

I walk away with a message, something I can take action on and move forward with.

During my call with Ka Sundance, one of the anchors that settled into my soul was a discussion of suffering. Ka was articulate on this subject and discussed the fact that most people do not take action to correct or improve something until they are suffering because of it.

*BINGO!*



That was SO true. I’ve had a cyst on the back of my leg for a couple years now, and it’s not bothering me, it doesn’t hurt, or cause me any grief, and so I do NOTHING about it. The only time I really roll up my sleeves and get serious about supplementing Vitamin D, or anything, is when I catch a cold, or I’m not feeling well.

I wait until it hurts.

Talking with Ka was like tapping into an electrical socket of inspiration. I told him during the call what an inspiration he was and he had the best response ever! To hear it, you’re going to need to sign up for the calls. ;-)

SIGN UP for Raw Mom Cooked Dad here: —> http://www.rawmomcookeddad.com

Anyway, after speaking with Ka, I decided I would see what he’s got to offer as a coach and see if HE would be the one to help me take things up a notch for myself. As much as I love my life and am thrilled by what I do, it’s great to have someone who’s willing to help you raise the bar a bit. We’ll find out if he’s the one, because I’ve scheduled a consultation with him this Friday, and if you’d like to join us, you’re welcome to listen in here!

This call will be recorded, so if you’re not able to attend the call, or you’re just reading this when the consultation has already happened, you can still listen in by clicking THIS LINK BELOW:

–>ACCESS MY CONSULTATION CALL WITH KA HERE! http://attendthisevent.com/?eventid=15117384

I’m pumped about Raw Mom Cooked Dad.

I can really feel it’s the best thing I’ve ever done and I couldn’t be more inspired about getting it out there and making it amazing! It’s almost as if my life is telling the story right now, and I just can’t wait to see how it all turns out. I wouldn’t admit having a secret agenda (converting my man over to the rabbit food way of life), but I do hope, wonder, look for answers to this crazy Raw Mom, Cooked Dad situation and I think I’m finding them

particular that pretty much knocked my socks off. Don’t let his unassuming web design fool you. This is a class act with more integrity than some gurus can stuff in their shoe.

Ka Sundance offered to do a LIVE consultation with me and I thought that would be a great way to introduce all of you to his style, wisdom and experience. You can learn more about Ka Sundance and his family here.http://www.therawfoodfamily.com/

If you’d like to tune in to my consultation with him, you can access the teleseminar here! These are a few of the questions I’ll be asking Ka, and I look forward to seeing how he responds! I want to discuss:

* Why do I still struggle sometimes with late night eating?
* Why I can’t seem to get off salt?
* What does it take to keep my finger out of the cooked soup bowl when my kids are around?
* What’s keeping me from being 100% (like no compromises ever) raw?
* What’s up with this cyst of mine? I feel like I should do some intense fast to get rid of it, but I’m “not built” for that.

Okay! I hope you find this as interesting as I know I will. Feels kinda funny putting it all out there, but we’ll see if he can kick some Ka into me! Hope to catch you on the call!

Some news about me and my family you have to know,...

Here I am with lots of exciting news and changes that happened during the last weeks. First of all I want to say "sorry" for not getting back to you earlier. It has been almost 4 weeks since I wrote to you the last time. But after some intense time of waiting finally my 3rd son Joa was born at the 15th of July here at our house in Costa Rica.

We had the pleasure of doing an unattended home-birth, which was not unattended at all, because Ronja my baby daughter was holding hand with Katie, I was catching Joa when he slipped out, and lots of good energies was surrounding me and my family.

We are so happy! And we feel so empowered that at we could do this all by ourself. I am so proud of Katie, that she was so confident in doing this ("alone") with us. She is such a beautiful and strong goddess! She is my hero!

But there was even more happening in this month. Germany reached the Half-final at the football world championship (LOL), I celebrated my birthday 2 days ago, and most important, and that has also to do with the topic of this e-mail, I stepped more into my power.
I took responsibility.
After years of growths and overcoming problmes and limitations I finally can present to you a program designed only to show you ka, how you can follow your passion and create abundance while you help and inspire other people.

You can have a look at this program at
http://www.howtomakealivingwithyourpassion.com/
You can join this life transforming program until Friday midnight EST (31st of July). After this date the price will rise 500U$. So have a look now at

I also want to give you a new version of my special report called "How to live your life purpose". It is attached to this e-mail.
And I have something special for all of you who want to have a life transforming coaching session with me. I am offering 20 people the chance to get a free 20 minute coaching session with me about how to access your life purpose and make it the center of your life.

Health and passion

Vibrant health has a lot to do with what you eat. Therefore your diet is very important. Lots of living food will help your body detox easily and create new and healthy cells.
But there is much more to this than meets the eye.
I have discovered that it is even more important what you think and feel about your diet, that makes the difference.
There are people I have met who don't care much about what they eat and still enjoy a healthy high energy level.
I have also met a lot of raw fooders or people on a high raw diet, and they were struggling and unhappy.
That made me think about things.
The way I see it right now, there needs to be balance in our lives. We will not find true health by only concentrating on our diet, always contemplating what's right and what's wrong.
No. We need to harmonize all the different areas of our life to experience true health and happiness!
If you want to experience this kind of health, you need to follow your passion.
Your passion will lead the way. The way to excitement and bliss.
We tend to think too small and narrow-mindedly, which prevents us from ever thinking about our dreams.
We need to connect with our dreams. We need to live with them and expand our beings into them.
Only when we connect with this part of ourselves (which is the REAL YOU) will we find true happiness and health.
The truth is: no matter which religion you practice, if you believe in fate or not, we are all gods and goddesses.
We are the true masters of our life. We decide on and are responsible for the situation we are in right now.
If we could all understand the power and the truth of this statement, our lives would be completely different.
We are gods and goddesses. We are the true creators of our lives, our choice of profession and our health and wealth.
We can change anything we want.
If we follow this road of bliss and excitement, and step into our own power, health AND wealth will increase as a by-product. We will lose the need to bury our feelings with unhealthy food, because we will feel good!
We only need to follow our passion. We need to center our lives around our passion and let go of the things that make us unhappy and powerless.
In the near future I want to help you find out ways you can do that!
There will be no more need for consciously toxifying oneself. No need to keep oneself down in fearful thinking and poverty.
Life is full of abundance and health. It is our own responsibility to make it happen.
This is why I want to expand my message beyond the raw food lifestyle.
I'm talking about a new focus, a new vantage point on life itself.
Now it is up to you.
All I can say is: Follow your passion. It will lead you to the right place. To more health, wealth and happiness!

Become better, become who you are

This is what for me the raw food diet is all about. This is the statement which is behind all that.
It is the manifestation of becoming better. In order to manifest shining, vibrant health, we need to make healthy choices all along the way. It is as simple as that. We need to make more and more healthy choices and try to avoid choices and food that make us feel bad.
And this is very individual. What might be good for me, can as well be very bad for you.
This is also the reason, why the raw food diet is just one way, one possible choice towards more health and light.
The good news is: You do not need anyone, to tell you about the right choices. We all have a very, very clear feeling what feels right, and what feels wrong. We have this build-in-guidance-system.



The more interesting part is: Why do we not always DO what feels right? Why do we eat bad? Why do we create suffering? Why do we choose to feel bad?
Understanding this will help you to do more of the good stuff. This is where I can offer you help as a professional coach.
But even if you do not understand it fully, there is still always the choice. Every day. All the time. Right now.
Do you want to feel good, or bad right now? Well, then just go for it and feel good!
Eat good!
The next good news is: We do not have to do, or achieve anything. The nature of life itself is, that it is evolving, learning,.... and getting better.
Scientist might call it evolution, but on a spiritual and individual level it is about becoming better.
And you become better by nature. There is no pressure, and nothing you have to do to achieve that.
What a relief.
The only thing you can chose here is: Do you want to feel, to be better now, or do you want to wait?
Well again, this is a question you can ask yourself every day, several times. Even if you chose to make a bad choice one day, you wake up tomorrow, and are free to start all over again.
So if you failed to eat as healthy as you want to today, then don't worry. Enjoy and embrace your decision for today. Understand it, appreciate it, and enjoy with your full heart the food you desire and eat today. There is nothing wrong about this feeling this food, if you not choose to feel wrong and bad. It is just food, just a feeling.

You can wake up tomorrow and be a new person, a healthier person tomorrow. It is all up to you.

The more and deeper you embrace and understand the “bad”decisions you made, and will make, the easier it will be for you to do the right ones.

And when you realize this, when you realize that it is OK to choose a bad feeling, a bad food, you will become whole.
You will become who you really are.
Because in fact there is nothing bad with feeling bad. It is just a feeling.
It is the resistance against this feeling we have, which causes the problem. We are trying to avoid everything what we label “bad” and therefor create it over and over again. It is so charged with energy, with emotion, it is so big, such an issue, that we do everything to avoid really being in there. Feeling it.
This is why we are around it, and can't escape it. Over and over again.
It is too big, too charged not to see it, not to around the thing we are trying to avoid, not to see so badly.
We sourround this “bad” feeling, or food and create situations, which always bring us back to it. There is so much energy focused on it.
But again: You have the choice.
If you choose to go IN there, not only around it, if you enjoy your “bad” feeling or food with all your love and joy, this is where change happens.

All this negative energy we created around the feeling, round the food, is disappearing once we really go in there, and feel the feeling, not only the bad, charged stuff around it!
You realize that all these big, huge walls around the feeling, the food are just your creation. They are only as real and as huge as you think they are.

When you can manage this, you became better. You became who you are.

Life is what you make of it!

I am just always amazed when I talk to people. There are so many different types.

We are all so unique. Some people are so crystal clear on what their dream looks like, and what they want to achieve. Some have more vague feelings, and some have even no idea about what they could dream of. There are people who do not even allow themselves to dream.

They have a strong block, like a curtain, which prevents them from going a place near that feeling. And in the end it is all about the feeling. Because if you go to a place where you feel good, feel excited you will come pretty close to your life purpose and your dream. So what makes you feel good?



What do you like to do? Another good way of entering this space is to look at your childhood. What did you like, when you were a child? What was getting you excited?

What did you dream of. A lot of people run a round through their adult life complaining and being unhappy because of unfullfilled childhood dreams. Dont be one of them! Just get in touch with it, and feel yourself into this.

Once the excitement is there, and you are inside your dream, the solutions and the opportunities will follow. You will find a way to experience in the real world what you dream about, because you are already there with your feeling. Life is good, Life is what you make out of it!

Get a food neurosis with the raw food diet?

Here is why some people on thne raw food diet get eating disorders, and do not thrive at all.

This is very serious stuff, and I am aware that many people in the raw food movemnet will not agree to my point here.

But I need to talk about it anyway. This is so important, because in my experience the biggest problems circling around food is not the food, but the guilt, anger and hate that is charged around it.

Preaching a pure 100% raw food diet, does only support these feeling forn the majority of the the peopl out there. You are good the way you are!

Enjoy and relax!

Radio interview with Ka Sundance

I just wanted to share this interview with you, because it was very inspiring and great!
The two ladies from RawHealingPatch.com (Sarah and Julie) asked me for an interview for their online-radioshow, and so we met two days ago via telephone.

We talk about health, life, my family, travelling the raw food diet and guilt free eating, abundance, wealth my upcoming raw food retreat in the UK and much more.

Back in the tropics with the best raw food

We did it! We finally arrived back in the tropics!
After our long winter in Thailand, and a couple of weeks back in the Uk, we managed to go tropics again!

Now we are in Costa Rica and stay with good friends until we move to our place.
We are thrilled and happy. The abundance of fruits and sun just made us realize once more how important it is to have these two things.



This is a great problem about the northeren countries. The lack of sunlight and the fully ripe tropical fruits are so essntial to really thrive on a raw food diet.
This was one of the most important reasons for us, to move south. And now as we have it, we just realized how much we missed in our couple of weeks in the UK.

These fruits instantly let us vibrate higher, feel better, and be more vibrant.
It is all so good, and it will just get better.

I will keep you updated and informed how we do down here.

But no worries; I will be back in the UK as well as in gthe USA to do some RAW INSPIRATION RETREATS there. If you are interested please contact me!

My etox juice fasting experience

We are back! Back from beautiful Thailand. We are here to reorganize ourselves and finally move to a warm, tropical country. We will move to Costa Rica as soon as possible, because we realized how much better we feel, being in a warm country surrounded by the warm sea and fresh, fully ripe fruits.
The last day in Thailand I just did not feel hungry anymore, because I prepared myself for the flight bac to the UK. So I just stopped eating.



The train from south Thailand to Bangkok





I felt so fine and energized during the travel, did not really sleep in 3 days, and was still not feeling hungry. Once we returned to England I warmly embraced our beloved mechanical juicer and the beautiful powerful green we are used to. Kale, spinach and some wild edibles like simple grass, and some small dandelion.
I craved this green so much, so I started juicing right away. We all, also th kids, were dring liters after liters of green juice!!
Because we had all these great fruits in Thailand, the rich green veegies from here were exactly the thing that was completing the optimal diet.

I am feeling sooooo good with the green juices now.Yeah we also juiced in Thailand, but it felt so much more powerful here,..
So I was having just green juices and one green Smoothie in the morning with my kids. That was all for one week, and I felt so good, empowered, clean and centered "eating" , aehh I mean drinking that simple. It was great.
After a week I was thinking about food more and more, although I felt that I could have gone on with the fast, I started to eat some nuts again.
And now I am back on solid raw food. I was having some pancakes with chocolate spread, some (kelp)pasta with pesto and liters of hemp smoothies. All stuff we were looking forward to having here in the UK.

Overall: I recommend the juice fast for everyone who wants to detox and increase their energy very fast and efficently. Juice fasting is a very powerful tool of healing. It heals not only the body, but also does connect us very strongly with our emotions and our soul.

The essence of the raw food diet: Become better!

Become better. Become who you are.


This is what for me the raw food diet is all about. This is the statement which is behind all that.
It is the manifestation of becoming better. In order to manifest shining, vibrant health, we need to make healthy choices all along the way. It is as simple as that. We need to make more and more healthy choices and try to avoid choices and food that make us feel bad.
And this is very individual. What might be good for me, can as well be very bad for you.
This is also the reason, why the raw food diet is just one way, one possible choice towards more health and light.
The good news is: You do not need anyone, to tell you about the right choices. We all have a very, very clear feeling what feels right, and what feels wrong. We have this build-in-guidance-system.
The more interesting part is: Why do we not always DO what feels right? Why do we eat bad? Why do we create suffering? Why do we choose to feel bad?
Understanding this will help you to do more of the good stuff. This is where I can offer you help as a professional coach.
But even if you do not understand it fully, there is still always the choice. Every day. All the time. Right now.
Do you want to feel good, or bad right now? Well, then just go for it and feel good!
Eat good!
The next good news is: We do not have to do, or achieve anything. The nature of life itself is, that it is evolving, learning,.... and getting better.
Scientist might call it evolution, but on a spiritual and individual level it is about becoming better.
And you become better by nature. There is no pressure, and nothing you have to do to achieve that.
What a relief.
The only thing you can chose here is: Do you want to feel, to be better now, or do you want to wait?
Well again, this is a question you can ask yourself every day, several times. Even if you chose to make a bad choice one day, you wake up tomorrow, and are free to start all over again.
So if you failed to eat as healthy as you want to today, then don't worry. Enjoy and embrace your decision for today. Understand it, appreciate it, and enjoy with your full heart the food you desire and eat today. There is nothing wrong about this feeling this food, if you not choose to feel wrong and bad. It is just food, just a feeling.

You can wake up tomorrow and be a new person, a healthier person tomorrow. It is all up to you.

The more and deeper you embrace and understand the “bad”decisions you made, and will make, the easier it will be for you to do the right ones.

And when you realize this, when you realize that it is OK to choose a bad feeling, a bad food, you will become whole.
You will become who you really are.
Because in fact there is nothing bad with feeling bad. It is just a feeling.
It is the resistance against this feeling we have, which causes the problem. We are trying to avoid everything what we label “bad” and therefor create it over and over again. It is so charged with energy, with emotion, it is so big, such an issue, that we do everything to avoid really being in there. Feeling it.
This is why we are around it, and can't escape it. Over and over again.
It is too big, too charged not to see it, not to around the thing we are trying to avoid, not to see so badly.
We sourround this “bad” feeling, or food and create situations, which always bring us back to it. There is so much energy focused on it.
But again: You have the choice.
If you choose to go IN there, not only around it, if you enjoy your “bad” feeling or food with all your love and joy, this is where change happens.

All this negative energy we created around the feeling, round the food, is disappearing once we really go in there, and feel the feeling, not only the bad, charged stuff around it!
You realize that all these big, huge walls around the feeling, the food are just your creation. They are only as real and as huge as you think they are.

When you can manage this, you became better. You became who you are.

The importance of knowing raw food gourmet recipes

Many of us have experienced this.
We are dedicated to a new diet, we are passionate and willing to make the change.
We are starting with lots of energy and a good feeling. And just after a couple of days, this energy seems to be gone, and left us alone with our old habits, and cravings. This is the point where most of us become weak and turn around, going back in the land of our well known unhealthy strategies, we were trying to flee of.
This does not have to be the case for you!
I want to share two tricks here, how you can manage to manifest lasting change.

The first one is: Preparation!
You need to organise yourself. You need to get information about the place where you want to go. You need to find out how passionate you really are about the change. And you need a system, that will help you to give stability.

The second one:
You need raw food gourmet recipes!
This is so important.The raw food recipes will give you the exitement and frshness you need if you want to change.
Most people turn away from this diet, because they get bored and want their old dishes, they were eating for years.
The solution is so easy.
Create these dishes as a raw food gourmet meal. You can create evey single dish you can possibly think of as a raw food gourmet dish.

And this is what you need to do. Before you start.
Have all ingredients at hand, all the tools and you are set up for success.

Both bullet points I was mentioning in this article, are given to you in detail in my new book called 5 Steps of Raw Success.
Find a complete, easy to follow system, raw food gourmet recipes, and so much more within this great resource.

How to detox

How to detox!

By Ka Sundance


In our modern world, filled with industry, traffic jams, big cities and agricultural pesticide, we are surrounded by toxins. There are all sorts of chemical substances in our food, water and air, depending on where we live, how we live and what we eat.

The good news is though, that our bodies can handle these toxins. Our bodies are designed to take care of all sorts of toxins and extract them.

Our job is only not to interfere this process our system takes care of.

If you are on a Rawfood diet, you do the best to support your body in detoxification. This light, high vibrating food is giving us all the nutrients we need, to nourish our system in the best way, and not to burden it with unnecessary substances. The body needs enormous energy, life force and nutrients, to deal with processed food, and this is why people feel exhausted, and become ill so easy. On top of all the toxins we are in contact with anyway in our environment, the body now has to deal with the substances we are not designed to have in our system.

That can sum up over a lifetime, and end in a collapse, or terrible diseases we see so often in older people. On top of the substances we are not used to have inside us, we also KNOW that we are not doing the best for us. And this makes it of course much worse, because a new level has come into play. It is now not only on a physiological level bad for us, but also on a psychological level. This is where cancer comes from for example.

So if you are aware of the toxins around you, and you want to be really healthy, GO RAW!

Raw food can reverse all toxic manifestations we have in our bodies, and than start to clean out on a deep level, once you have reached a neutral, magical point.

Before I start I would like to loose a word about some of the symptoms you might experience when detoxing. If you start to improve your diet, from which ever level of eating you come from, it might be that you feel headache, body pain, fatigue or even become ill reaching your next level of healing. This is where some people go back to old habits.

Don`t do it! The night is always the darkest before dawn. Your whole system is overwhelmed by your improved diet, and instantly is adjusting to it, extracting the toxins stored in your cells, that were in perfect harmony with your unhealthy surrounding, but now you have changed.

You have improved and found better ways, and your body wants to harmonize with this new vibration. Give him some time to adjust, be gentle and patient and you will feel so much better.

To support your body in this process, there are some things you can do in addition.
These additional procedures, I would like to write here about.


First of all:

Make fresh green juices! Juices have healing power! You extract the most important parts of the plants and have a really dense and concentrated fluid, with the best quality water possible, filled with vitamins and minerals.
Especially green veggie juices provide a wide spectrum of these important minerals and vitamins. Your body can absorb these nutrients very easy and with less effort, and can dispose over these almost instantly, once they are in the body. All these components coming together, really helps your body to detox on a deep level that is not so interfering your system.


Second:

If you have the feeling that you digestion is not working efficient, or you experience problems digesting food; think of having some sessions of hydro colonic irrigation. There are professionals, who will offer you a series of irrigation for a good price. They will bring in warm and cold water in your intestinal and massage your stomach from outside to extract old concretion that has been in your gut for many years. This technique allows to get rid of these toxic rubbish that is inside you on a mechanical level, but it also starts to have influence on your feeling and spirit, once you start to let go of this. Some of the concretion has been stored in your guts since you were a child, and it is unbelievable how much rubbish our gut can store, and still does all the essential work for our digestion!

There can be KILOS of this stuff inside you.

If you go raw, the body starts to take care of these sediments by itself, but a hydro colonic can really speed this up and help you with detoxification. Just bear in mind that this is a really rough treatment for your guts, and the flora of your gut is destroyed if you do so. It takes weeks, if not months to build up a new healthy flora with all the important bacterias you need to have a good digestion.

Nevertheless, I recommend this procedure for people who have digestion problems, and want to take care of it fast and on a profound level! It works!

Third:
Fasting. This is a thing that needs some strength and will from you, but it is very effective. There are two ways I would like to talk about here.


1.Water fasting.

That means, you stop eating and drink loads of water. Your body starts to detox almost instantly, after it does not need to provide energy for digestion. This form of fasting though is so intense, that you might experience symptoms like headache, fatigue and body pain. Your body is flushed with the toxins in the cells, that come out in your bloodstream so fast.

This is nothing to be afraid of, it is good, because you let go of it, but you need to be aware of, that these symptoms can happen to you, if you choose to go this path.
Make sure you drink lots of water, to help your kidneys extracting these toxins as fast as possible. This form of fasting is intense, but very effective.


2. Juice fasting

This form of fasting is the one I would like to recommend here even more than water fasting, because I feel that it is easier for the body, as well as the emotions coming up doing it. You just have fresh made veggie and fruit juices during the day. Best if you drink 3-4 Liter of juice a day.

This gives you all the nutrients you need for good extraction of the toxins, yet you won`t necessarily feel the detox symptoms so strong. This is the ultimate healing and detox system!

Once you have overcome the desire to eat - which only takes some few days - you can go on with this fast for weeks, and feel so good, repair your body on such a deep level, that it is almost magic!

This is the healing of the future!

And last but not least - and here I make the loop back to the very beginning of this e-mail: SWEAT!

Do sport, exercise and go to the sauna. Even better: participate at a sweat lodge ceremony. Sweating makes things hum!

Your metabolism is kick-starting and you become light, soft and open by doing so.

Make cold-warm showers to animate your perfusion and go outside in nature, after you have done so. Have fun, make jokes, laugh out loud and avoid news, television and things that create fear, confusion and anger.

Spend some time with yourself doing what you love to do. Allow your self to relax and sleep enough.

If you follow just some of these tips, you will have a much more easy time detoxing and reaching your personal next level of health.

I wish you all the best on this path, and send you all my love support and gratitude for choosing it!

The most important raw superfood in the world

Wild foods - the true food of the future for human mankind

This article reveals some secrets most people are not aware of, yet it is so important to really succeed on your personal raw food way towards health. Many people think that when they are going raw it is just about eating fruits and veggies.

Actually there is much more behind this!

Most of the fruits and veggies you buy in the store are hybrids. That means, that they are domesticated by man and changed for bigger size, more sugar and less seeds. Most of these fruits and veggies are totally dependant on us, and wouldn`t survive in nature. They have lost the ability to reproduce themselves in the wilderness. Along with this comes a loss of nutrients, living enzymes and most important: life force!

Compared to normal “cooked” food, they are still loaded with energy, but we are looking for the best food possible, aren't we!?

So most of the raw food products you can buy in your super market are denaturalised and not as “alive” as the addition I am talking about here.



It is not only about raw food, it is about finding the most nutrient rich, dense food, to give our body all what it needs, and at the same point of time burden it with the smallest amount of waste, to make the whole process of digestion very efficient, and have the most energy available.

It is about wild food.
I consider wild food the kind of foods that have not been domesticated from man, and are still in the form they have been around on this planet for 100.000 years or much longer. These are the kind of foods we are looking for, and we need to add to our diet.

What are these wild foods? Actually there are several, and I want to reveal the secret here.
First of all it comes down to something which is our mantra anyway. The wild edibles. You can see wild edibles in the most poisonous and denaturalised surroundings as well as in desert or arctic like nature. In almost all parts of the world man is using chemicals and pesticides to kill this precious food – with little effect!

Wild edibles have grown all over the planet for millions of years, and they will still do so when there is no human left. This form of living is so rich in nutrients and life force, that you have to accept the importance for us! This is the food of the past, and more important the food of the future! 95% of all green on the planet is eatable, and more than 70% of the remaining 5% is tasting so awful, that you are not able to swallow it!
So get a book on wild edibles, join a course wherever you are in the world and learn about the magical, abundance food that will give you health and will give you total independence from food companies and government!

Second:
Most superfoods are wild foods. Food like maca, coconut, goji berries, honey, bee pollen just to name some of them, are true wild foods, that have been around on earth for a long, long time and not been changed by us. Superfoods also provide this wide spectrum of nutrients and life force, that enables us to live our life up to the max, and feel nourished on a deep level.

Last but not least I want to mention the old, tropical fruits here, many western people may not have heard of. These tropical fruits like durian, jackfruit, sapotes,... are the true tropical gold. They really carry the warmth and energy of the tropical sun, right down to your kitchen, all along with a dense, nutrient packed composition of taste. The reason why they are not known here in the west, and also the reason why they are so good, is that they need to stay on the trees until they are ripe.

Most tropical fruits you know (like bananas, pineapple or mangoes) are picked green and ripe in the boxes on a ship or the depot of a supermarket. Although even these fruits tastes sooo much better (and have much more nutrients), when they have the chance to stay on the tree they have been born on, as long as possible!

If you want to solve the secret of total health with the raw food diet make sure, that you add these three components to your diet.

Wild edibles (best to juice them if you start), superfoods, and old tropical fruits!

This is true magic.
This is a true secret that can change the health of the world!!

One of the most important superfoods - The Coconut

Here is an interesting article I just came across, which is giving detailed information about one of the most important superfoods on earth: The coconut!!


Cocos nucifera
By Karen Smith
Cocos nucifera is the scientific name of the common coconut. This very tall palm tree is always an inviting symbol of the tropics. The plant is one of the most valuable plants to man. It is a primary source of food, drink, and shelter. In Sanskrit the coconut palm is called "kalpa vriksha", which is defined as "the tree which provides all the necessities of life."
Man can use every part of the coconut.

The white nut-meat can be eaten raw or shredded and dried and used in most cooking recipes. A single coconut has as much protein as a quarter pound of beefsteak. Copra, the dried meat of the kernels, when crushed is the source of coconut oil. The husks, known as coir, is a short, coarse, elastic fibers used to make an excellent thatch roofing material for houses. This very diverse plant is also an excellent charcoal, which is produced from the shells, not only does it work as a cooking fuel, but also in the production of gas masks and air filters.

The outer part of the trunk of the coconut palm furnishes, a construction lumber, known as porcupine wood for houses and furniture. The swollen base of the trunk, when hollowed, can be turned into a hula drum that the Hawaiians use for entertainment. These are just a few examples of how extraordinary the coconut palm can be utilized.

Here is my daughter having a fresh, young coconut at our beach today,.... Yummo!



The coconut was first mentioned in 545 AD by an Egyptian Monk named Cosmos Indicopleustes. He visited western India and Ceylon. In his "Topographia Christiana", Cosmos describes the coconut as the "great nut of India." The Mahavasma, an ancient chronological history of Ceylon, describes the planting of coconuts in that country in 589 AD.

In 1280 Marco Polo, described coconut growing in Sumatra, as well as in Madras and Malabar in India, calling it nux indica, the Indian nut. The first detailed description of the coconut palm in western literature was provided by the Italian explorer Lodovico, di Varthema in his "Itinerario" of 1510, in which he referred to it astenga.

The coconut palm was unquestionable spread by Austronesians through the Pacific, perhaps eventually to the Pacific coast of Central America, and westward to India and East Africa. In Western Melanesian charred fruits were sited back to 3000 BC. The coconut was an important tropical economic with its enormous range of uses.

Palmae, the palm family to which the coconut belongs to, is one of the oldest and most diverse of the plant families. Palms have many botanical characteristics such as woody trunk, in many species, perennial growth, leaves which are folded like a fan and the production of a single seed leaf which, along with grasses, lilies and other families classifies them as monocotyledons. There have been sixty other species under the genus Cocos, but the coconut palm stands by itself and is monotypic - meaning that within the genus Cocos only one species, nucifera, is recognized. Consequently, every coconut palm in the world is taxonomically the same species, which probably makes it most abundant single food tree in existence.

There have been many other palms that have been classified very closely to the coconut, which have confused it with other plethora of scientific and popular names. One example, the double coconut, also known as the Maldive nut, Lodoicea maldivia. This very large nut looks like two coconuts joined together, side by side, but it is not related to the coconut. It belongs to the Borassoid group of palms.

Two major classes of coconuts are typically recognized on the basis of stature: tall and dwarf. The ones most commonly planted for commercial purposes are the tall varieties, which are slow to mature and first flower six to ten years after planting. They produce medium-to-large size nuts and have a life span of sixty to seventy years. The dwarf varieties may have originated as a mutation of tall types. The dwarf variety may grow to a height of twenty-five to thirty feet and begin flower after three years, being only about three feet tall. Their life span is only about thirty years. Although highly difficult to grow, the dwarf varieties are valued because they bear early and are resistant to lethal yellowing disease.

There are a considerable number of varieties of coconut including tall and dwarf that have resulted in worldwide distribution. Each major coconut has its own dominant tall variety: Here is a listing: Ceylon Tall, Indian Tall, Jamaica Tall, Malayan Tall, Java Tall, and Laguna (which is a widely grown tall type in the Philippines). There are also many dwarf varieties: Malayan Dwarf, Dwarf Green, and Dwarf Orange from India.

There are also some unusual types of coconut palms in different parts of the world. The Macapuno coconut of the Philippines is famous for having no milk cavity. The jelly-like flesh fills the middle and can be eaten with a spoon. The San Ramon variety from the Philippines produces one of the largest nuts known.

Distribution of the coconut palm extends over most of the tropical islands and coasts and on some places outside the tropic zone. In India, the palm is found as far North as Lacknow ( at 26 degrees N), however it does not commonly fruit there. In Africa the northern limits are on the west coast, Cape Verde (15 degrees N); and on the east coast Djibouti (11.50 degrees N), 24 degrees N isolated palms have been discovered on the Red Sea. Mossamedes, or the south end of Africa and Zambezi River (19 degrees S) on the east.

In South America as low as 27 degrees S the palm grows in North America at 25 degrees N in Florida and the Bahamas. The plantations furthest from the equator are probably those in Florida.

Within producing countries, it is noted that the wide and varied utilization of the coconut will always be important in the economic aspect. Raw Copra used to be the major export but as coconut oil is becoming more widely used its export is increasing. Another change is the export of coconuts in the shell to the exporting of desiccated coconut. Both of these changes have benefited the countries of origin by creating more employment in the tropics.

The coconut has been a growing success since the time it was first discovered and to this day this very diverse plant is still showing great potential.
