Do you have a raw comfort food?

I've had an odd day today and I know the principle of comfort eating should be addressed on a more fundimental level but honestly I've had such an urge to stuff my face with a comfort food.  By some miracle (especially as I am more high raw as opposed to 100% raw) and living in a shared house I've not indulged in the hot cross buns or sucummed to cooked food products that are all around where I live at the moment.  Anyway I just wondered out of interest if anyone has a raw comfort food they…See More

Profile Information

About Me:
I've dipped in and out of raw food over the last few year and want to make a permanent change to a high raw diet. I seem to get so far then end up stepping back so hopefully being part of a raw food community will help as raw food really resonates with me.
How can the community best support you in your journey? (moral support, transition advice, fitness tips, etc)
I very much consider myself a newbie and would adore a raw food buddy if anyone would be gernerous enough to donate a bit of time to being a buddy. Otherwise I'm looking foward to being part of a group of like minded people.
Favorite Raw Food or Recipe?
Mango tart
Interests (outside of Raw Food):
Running, fittness and theatre
GI2MR Oath: I promise to do my best to keep this community drama free. I will not name call or throw around personal attacks. I pledge to be respectful even if I do not agree with another member's opinion. When possible, I'll try to smile : )
Yes! I accept the GI2MR Oath.

Raw foodists in Istanbul?

My mum and I are going to be in Istanbul later in the year and I'm so excited! I would love to get chatting to anyone interested in raw food who lives there. 

I was recently in Toulouse and managed fine with raw food by going to the market most days and just eating really simply so if I can do that in Toulouse I am sure I can do that elsewhere.  I'd love to go market shopping in Istanbul with someone who knows all the best stalls and produce.

Thanks for reading and have a great…

Verily, Verity!!  I see nothing wrong with having some cooked food.  Your hankering for it is a good sign, far as I'm concerned.

ReAwakening

Good Morning! I just thought I would post to say hello to everyone, as I am coming back after a long haul of taking care of others who were in very bad straights, which in turn put me in very bad straights too.  I am back to being me now, and pursing the life I have wanted and missed for so long.  I am growing my holistics and massage practice in Coppell, TX, healing myself, and thriving! It looks like many of the folks I knew when I first truly embraced raw veganism are not around.  I was…See More

If you can do headstand, it is easier to do the Lotus position there then sitting. 62 year old Narayani explains why and demonstrates how to do Urdhva Padmasana, Headstand in Lotus, also called inverted Lotus Position. It is a more advance Hatha Yoga Asana. You should know the basics of Yoga before trying. Even if you can't try, it is beautiful to watch. Recording in Yoga Vidya Ashram Meinberg. In the background you can see a mural of the Kundalini Shakti going through the 7 Chakras.
