About Me:
I first went raw after a one week cleanse in March 09. What it taught me was the huge impact food had on consciousness itself - our thoughts and feelings. I felt so different on clean, raw food. Physically, mentally and emotionally...

I've been physically ill for a long time and developed neurological problems just through chronic stress over time. I've found subtle energy/emotions affect me significantly. I wanted to see what eating more raw food could do for me. I am now more in the flow and allow things to happen rather than try and control circumstances which only creates more pain.

I've tried many treatments including pharmaceuticals which made me worse (what a surprise!). Now that I''ve tried Raw; I've seen it helps me with re balancing and healing. Greens especially are very potent for me.

I also have issues with hypoglycemia/adrenal fatigue/ anxiety. This is something important I need to heal from. I have been struggling with going all raw and keeping it low glycemic for healing. So I am varying my diet to see what works including vegetarian and cooked food.

Hi Erica, I totally know where you're coming from. I have blood sugar issues; have grown sensitive as I've grown up and I am also besides food sensitive to pretty much everything. As far as diet; you've got the right idea with low-glycemic, high p...

Thank you! It was so much fun. All other weddings pale in comparison. I hope to go back in a couple years. This year I am travelling to Costa Rica 1 week yoga/meditation, 1 week exploration/partying. Last year I missed Costa Rica because of the wedding in India (no complaints here!) I made such close friends with some of the girls that live in Delhi. I miss them so much.

I really relate to your story, I have struggled through depression and anxiety for many years. When I switched to raw, I was amazed at the changes in my body, mind, emotions and life force almost immedietly. It really is the answer to everyone's internal and external issues.

Peace, health and happiness :)

Channeling on growing the lightbody for Ascension

This one resonated with me! They say plant foods activate the DNA for growing our light bodies that help us evolve to the next level... and also other things like Yoga and dance. The other thread about Gabriel Cousens talks about this- reminded me to post this.

Challenge - 30 Days Raw

Hey all! Its been 6 months since I first started eating raw. I’ve been on and off the wagon and at different %'s. I want to go all raw for 30 days to cement this raw diet in my life.

Honestly in the last month, I've been about 60% raw on the whole. I've gradually increased Raw over time. But I want to speed things up because of all the awesomeness of eating 100% raw. I think a disciplined effort has its place in transition. I think going all out is the fastest way to do it. I am a little bit ne… Continue

How is it working on an organic farm?

I am thinking of working on one. I've inquired and waiting for replies.

I have no idea of how it will be. I know its hard work. But if anybody here has worked or is working there right now; any details are appreciated!

thanks,
Ashwin

Gardening!!!!

I want to start doing it! How do I start?

Here are the details: I live in house with a backyard in Arizona. I will be moving in December so I don't wanna plant anything in the ground. Just pots for now.

Any directions? Is it different growing in the hot desert than it is in more temperate places? I am looking to have vegetables and fruits and herbs as well.

Thanks!

80/10/10 for anxiety prone people?

I am thinking of doing 80/10/10 but I am concerned about the high fruit. For me this is because even after having 2 mangoes, I can feel nervous. And if thrown into a intense situation; that can turn into intense anxiety (more than normal).

If hyperglycemics can have normal blood sugar on this diet, then I am wondering if I too will feel normal on it, nervous system wise.

Has anybody like me gone through it? Everybody - your thoughts?

Danke!
