Trials & Tribulations:::February to March

In my excitement about being back & chatting with you again, I totally forgot to mention the trials and tribulations I went through February & March.

I'm not asking for a pitty party, but rather, just providing a perspective on why it's not always peaches and raw creme.

Right around Valentine's Day, I fell out of the raw food, healthy food, real food lifestyle completely. I started eating refined sugar again and alas, headed to Starbucks in the mid weeks of March. It was terrible and my body became inflamed, but that strange inner voice that's not really me kept creeping in and convincing me that it was okay to just grab a chai tea and that tomorrow, "I'll start eating raw again." That's not how it works though because truly, "tomorrow" never comes. You can't live in anytime but RIGHT NOW.

The point of this story is basically that eating is not logical in this day and age. We don't typically eat intuitively, we eat emotionally. Even guys who eat cheeseburgers and drink beer with their friends watching the game, are eating emotionally. Think about it. They feel a certain way doing this & they meet a certain stereotype so even though it's not the typical girly carton of ice cream after a stressful day, it's still emotional.

So, back to this month about terrible regression. (I say terrible because of how I felt.) My self esteem plummeted, I started gaining weight immediately, depression set in and the pain in my body raced back in. Nightmare.

Then came that magical March 23rd and the healing session I mentioned in the last post. The practitioner I go to is amazing. He said, you're left side is inflamed from something you've been eating.

"Chai tea?", I asked.

"Dairy." He said. "Drink more green juices." He knew I was a raw foodie for awhile and so he was very frank in his directions.

After this session, I couldn't even look at foods that were other than the best ever for my body & I transitioned back into superfoods, superherbs, raw food goooodness.

Well love, the point is to be with your journey & know that you can only move from where you are and the important thing is that you move.

Love. love. LOVE. love.

I'm BAAAACK.

Hey there sugar!

I've really missed you... my apologies for the absence. I have a grandiose, over the top, totally exciting vision for a new blog. Realistically, it's not going to be ready for another few weeks and I just can't wait that long to write you. We've got so much to catch up on.

First, how are you?!

And me? I'm doing amazing, seriously, the BEST EVER. I can't believe how awesome life is. On the 23rd, the day after my 23rd birthday, I had a very intense BodyTalk healing session. My body released some very old energy and I felt like I could breathe for the first time since I was a little girl. Not only that, but I felt like a child again and that I could be myself.

See, one thing that has always daunted me....are my energy levels. My natural state is excited, exuberant and in a state of pure wonder and magic totally stoked about being alive. Unfortunately, as maybe you have experienced too, most people don't welcome this because they don't YET feel this way. So, I've spent most of my life "toning it down" so as to fit in. SORRY, I don't want to fit in with that anymore...yeah, they're just not living the best life ever.

So this means that I've discovered the REAL me again and my energy levels will never again be marred by outside influence. I just picked up a little pocket book of mine and randomly opened to "The truth about approval is this: you will never get it." Right, so I'm not big on the "n" word (*whispers*: never) but the point is, live for you, live life on the wings of inspiration...IN-SPIRIT-ACTION.

Redefining RAW
In my world, RAW has been redefined. It started out as raw, uncooked, unadulterated food & drink that I would consume and see where it would take my life.

Bur seriously, is that it? Is that where it was to end? Obviously....not.

REVOLUTIONARY ACTION for the WORLD is more my style...it's the groove I'm rockin'. My commitment has changed to be wildly, ecstatically awake and naked, in every way, every day. Complimenting people everywhere, all the time, spreading the love, igniting the light, starting revolutions, following my dharma, doing the seemingly impossible & mastering my mind...moment by moment...after all, why wouldn't it be this?!

The Barefoot Revolution
So, to kick this revolution off right, I'm throwing away my show collection.

You're probably thinking, great, Terra's lost it. But wait...

Here's the thing. I hung out at this little thing called the "Longevity Now Experience" this past weekend and we chatted a little bit about grounding. (800 people, the leading Raw Food Nutritionist in the world & the most brilliant, human potential-researchers on the planet).

What David Wolfe has to say about Grounding: "The Earth is mobilized with free electrons & free antioxidant electrons. They pour into our bodies when we touch the earth. These negative electrons actually prevent oxidation in the body. When we are disconnected from the natural, negative charge, we are more subject to oxidation and develop inflammatory problems."

It has been proven that just by getting grounded, you can eliminate auto-immune disease. Eliminate it. Hello HUGE DEAL! You can go outside now and stick your BAREfeet on the ground or hug a tree & you'll be grounded.
(Learned this little handy piece of information at the Longevity Conference this weekend...another one in September and if you can make it, COME!!!!)

But you might be thinking, I have to work. And eat. And sleep and I'm not going to stand on the ground all day...FAIR ENOUGH LOVE! Here's the thing, an AMAZING man by the name of Clint Ober (who David has met & studied with) has actually developed a system, spending millions of dollars in research, to bring grounding technologies to you while you sleep, work...etc.

This technology comes in tons of forms, two of which I bought: sheets & a grounding pad from EarthFX, Clint's company. Seriously, it feels as if my entire nervous system has relaxed and I'm able to sleep deeper than ever before. (And as we know, deep sleep is crazy important for health and longevity. Sleep is the time when your body restores, detoxes and prepares for elimination.)

This stuff is over the top, out of this world amazing...the longevity technology is free flowing like never before. Activate genius!

Anyway, that's why I'm throwing my show collection away;-)

So, just for today, babay, SEE YOURSELF NOT AS YOU ARE....BUT AS YOU ARE BECOMING... it is done.

Love. Love. LOVE. love;-)
