A Lesson in Love & Humility - by Fiona Hollis

I wrote this after having processed some huge emotions of grief. When these words flowed through me and I felt the truth of each one, suddenly things seemed clearer, brighter, louder and crisper… Taking responsibility for how you feel is an amazing way to accelerate if you feel stagnant. Pretending everything is OK when it’s not - is a great way to drop anchor!

“I am a perfect half of a complete soul created to enjoy constant bliss, love and creation. It is only errors in my soul that block this eternal experience and existence.

I am not my life.

My life is a perfect manifestation of my true soul desires. With humility and total honesty we can feel the truth that creates us. This is where we are able to take full responsibility for our feelings and experience complete change.

As our personal truths shift, error is released from our soul - allowing more love to flow in - thus altering our life immediately through our soul’s manifestation of life around us.

This increased level of love in your soul then reflects out to everyone and everything around you - immediately allowing others to grow.

Only when you choose to stop the flow of love, will the connection stop. As soon as we choose to judge, project our emotions onto others rather than take responsibility for our own pain - the connection is lost.

At any time we have the opportunity to stop and own how we feel - and be prepared to open our hearts fully in order to experience these painful emotions that need to flow out of you - in order to make room for more love to flow in.

We have the freedom to choose everything that happens, especially the speed of our journey. But it is only when the pain gets sharp enough - that we choose ask for God’s help.

God offers a supersonic, spiritual, superhighway… superior soul surgery… raising us so far and above our rusted realms of possibilities, tears tumble towards our hearts at the magnificence of our creator’s cosmic creation.”

This is taken from my personal blog where I discuss emotional processing and how it changes your law of attraction, thus your life.

Nettles - The Holistic Health Hero of Our Wastelands

Nettles, nettles everywhere! ‘Ouchy’ weeds that grow in and on anything. Resilient and persistent, nettles grow tall and proud in almost any location. This mysterious plant has some of the best security systems in place, designed to protect their precious leaves with millions of tiny syringes loaded with poison. A veritable electric fence of defense surrounds this plant.  Who would have thought this needle wielding warrior could be such a holistic health hero!

Aside from being a super plant - vitamin and mineral packed with many, many healing and therapeutic values - nettles are used to make paper, dye, rope, linen like fabric, and insect repellent. A green that serves many a need.

In England, there is an annual nettle eating competition at a pub called, The Bottle Inn. I called and asked them about the art of eating raw nettles - it seems that as the sting is only on the upper side of the leaf - the trick is to  fold the sides of the nettle in, and then roll the nettle up - so there is no upper side exposed to the mouth. I was a little confused, “Doesn’t the sting escape when chewed?” I asked… “Yes, sometimes  - your mouth goes kind of numb,” was the reply. If that option sounds a little unnecessarily traumatic, - why not make a smoothie, juice or tea? (more…)

Do you feel EXTREME?: Utopian Ideals in a Modern World

Since joining the raw food community I’ve dealt with feelings of ‘extremism’ and not quite fitting in. It starts with food and nutrition, then radiates into morality, philosophy and lifestyle.

Once on the other side of the fence, I labeled raw foodists ‘extreme’ in their living, driven by a cacao fueled aspiration to be 100% raw. My 80% felt inferior - never mind the lows of winter months. I’d learned so much about food, and managed to heal my body - but where did I fit in to this raw community? (more…)
