"How is our body affected by the emotions we hold?"

1. Anger rests in your liver and gallbladder. 2. Fear hangs out in the kidneys and sexual organs. 3. Anxiety resides in the stomach/spleen and pancreas. 4. Impatience is housed in the heart and small intestines. 5. Sadness goes straight to the lungs and large intestines. Continue

Event on Sunday in NYC

If anybody is in NYC and interested, I'll be speaking Sunday (this one coming up, Sept. 20) at Om Wellness, along with fab MD/nutritional biochemist Michael Gregor will speak. He does this great thing where he takes all the research on nutrition done in the past year and turns its findings into a quiz-show format so the information gets out in a really fun way. He's not raw, but very vegan and respectful of raw. Here is the official info: The Nutrition-Centered Life: A Workshop With Nutrition… Continue

How to Open up the Heart Chakra

The heart is considered a yin organ in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It correlates with the color green in yogic understanding. The heart has more neurons than the brain. This tells us a lot about this organ, since the allopathic belief is that it only pumps blood throughout the body. This is of course, completely false. The heart does a lot more than pump blood! It is the center point for our emotions and feelings! ;)… Continue

My Journey So Far :)

I'm not new to this site, but I haven't been very active on here either, so none of you may know me, however, I thought it was time for that to change! I truly desire to be healthy and live a long and happy life, but it's hard to do it without any support, so I thought I'd start blogging on here about my journey, in hopes that I can find some encouragement and accountability. I weigh 242 pounds (The only person who I ever tell my weight to is my doctor, so this is a big step for me!). The heavi… Continue

Is this a safe place for me to say this?

I've been 'dabbling' with raw food living for almost two years now. Here and there, I've attempted 30 days (made it to 15 before some cooked food snuck in); I participate in the rawfu 100 day challenges (but never at a 100% commitment). I haven't been trying 100% because I realize that I often 'fail' to stay 100%, and with my history of eating disorders, falling off the wagon can be a tragic jumping off point into a mega-binge of crappy food. I've never been anorexic, and I could never force mys… Continue

How to "Fall Still" forever. Meditation completely, always.

How will the mind stay quiet? By the inquiry "Who am I?" The thought "Who am I?" will destroy all other thoughts, and, like the stick used for burning the burning pyre, it will itself in the end get destroyed. Then there will arise Self- realisation. What is the means for constantly holding on to the thought, 'Who am i?' When other thoughts arise, one should not pursue them, but should enquire: "To whom did they arise?" It does not matter how many thoughts arise. As… Continue

Exercise as Nutrition

Proper nutrition is one of the goals of a raw food diet. I often say that exercise should be considered part of proper nutrition. Without adequate and proper exercise, the body doesn't function the way it should, just as if it was lacking in an essential vitamin or mineral. One form of exercise that can benefit just about everyone (due to the diversity of styles and approaches) is yoga. I've created a yoga blog to accompany the… Continue

More blogging

I'm blogging every day because blogging about my food and exercise accomplishments helps keep me motivated. Foodwise, I've consumed at least 30 oz of fresh lemonade so far. I went food shopping at Trader Joe's and I was starting to feel faint because I hadn't had breakfast yet. I got an organic cold-pressed green bar and ate it on the way home. I later realized it had soy and wheat in it (I've cut those out of my diet), but I'm not going to feel guilty about eating it. Usually I take the time to… Continue

Chasing Bliss? Or Striving for Calm?

Please note that I initially misspelled "calm" in above title line and stated I was "striving for clam". I think that's hilarious. If you can't crack yourself up, who will? Anyway. What I am doing, I have realized lately, is chasing bliss. I am torn as to whether this is actually a good thing or if what I should be striving for is balance and calm. Take my yoga obsession for instance. It makes me feel balanced and calmly energized. I am one of those fortunate people who notices it right away… Continue

I love FALL!

At the start of this week a good friend and I decided to start our "Get more sexy plan". We are already sexy :) LOL but we feel we could stand to shape up a bit. Loose a few pounds and tone up. Also shape up our diets. We have cut out wheat, corn, sugar (I don't really like sweets so this is easy for me) and alcohol. I already eat 70-80% raw veg so I am sharing some of my daily recipes with her. Not that I'm an expert rawist but she is still a meat eater. AaCK! Any hoo... we have been enjoying t… Continue

Good idea Danny. I'd layer them, though, 'cause the amount of produce I pack in there, the seem might not hold. :)
