Good Morning Darling! Thanks so much for stopping by! Today, we have an amazing goddess who is out in Hawaii, making it happen with the raw way of life. She has some awesome notes below about MSM, a true healer! I would also highly recommend signing up for Marjy's AMAZING newsletter! It's super easy to do, just visit her site here: http://www.marjysrawnutrition.com/ Love. love. love. love & ENJOY! ~~~~~~~~~~~~
MAGICAL MSM
MSM is a naturally occurring sulfur compound. MSM helps to maintain integrity of connective tissues. It makes cell walls flexible and permeable, allowing nutrients to freely flow in and wastes to leave the cells. It makes one more flexible, and mobile.
It relieves pain, as an anti-inflammatory, and makes our cells more juicy and flexible. It is anti- allergy by strengthening membranes and tissues in the body to fight allergens. It is beautifying, minimizing wrinkles.
It is a strong detoxifyer, great during a fast or cleanse, is an anti-oxidant, strengthens the immune system, increases alertness and ability to concentrate, helps heal wounds, stops itching, alleviates respiratory congestion, controls acidity in ulcers, helps muscles heal, increases body's ability to produce insulin, coats the intestines to help prevent parasites, reduces physiological affects of stress like gastrointestinal upset, relieves arthritis, lowers high blood pressure, is essential for Alzheimer's patients, relieves heartburn, and so much more!
Start taking MSM slowly, 1/2 teaspoon or 500 mgs per day and then increase to twice that much, until you reach 2000- 5000 mg, or more per day, depending what you want to accomplish. I take about 5000 mg per day and I take it as a preventative for pain, and for beautifying affects.
We find MSM naturally occurring in raw fruits and veggies, as well as in algae, fish , milk, and grains. Once any food is processed, it loses its MSM content. You can find MSM in your local health food store and I encourage you to get the powder.

Oh really? Seriously. You can't believe it's not butter? If it's not butter but it looks & tastes like butter, then WHAT IS IT?!
Colored & refined poop? No. Nail enamel off dead people? No.
Hum, gosh, mommy, I just can't imagine what this lovely society would have come up with for me to eat instead of real, delicious butter that has some great properties for your body. What could margarine be?
Plastic? YES.
That's right, you read it, margarine is basically plastic. Get this, when margarine is made, they use nickel (A HEAVY METAL) to make it solidify, then they add perfumes and dyes to take away the nasty smell and taste of the rancid oils. Disgusting. Did you know that margarine is GRAY, not yellow, before they add the dyes...
That's right, rancid oils! Now, you might be thinking, "oh, it's not that bad when oil no longer tastes good" but IT IS THAT BAD. Here's the thing, when oil goes rancid, it flat out becomes carcinogenic, ie CANCEROUS. So, when margarine is made, the oils are heated to insanely high temperatures, making the molecules unstable. When they become unstable, they oxidize (oxidation=oxygen attacking and killing enzymes). When this enters your body, it doesn't know how to digest it because it is foreign and becomes highly toxic to you.
Okay, so let's review. Margarine has heavy metals Margarine has perfumes/dyes Margarine is carcinogenic Margarine is addictive
So, I'm not sure about you, but I'm going to finish my margarine tub and consider not buying anymore. HAHA NOT. I don't even own a margarine tub...and thank God after learning all this nonsense.
Now, darling, it's time for our heart to heart. I love you soooo much, like a sister/brother. I really do. So, if there's one thing you do this week, will you PLEASE consider ditching the margarine? Please, pleaseeeeee?
Let's just say that the undercover negative nancy clan (nnc) ganged up on me yesterday and my energy plummeted. (The NNC is in fact my mind!) I ate a piece of salmon because I was craving it. Turns out, my body no longer wants that type of protein. Tired and cranky set in. Then, I made some more other than the best decisions for my body and by the time I left work, I felt like nnc had kicked me in the gut.
The message lately has been to surrender to the universe completely and to TRUST. So, as I was driving home, instead of shoving the emotions of anger and hate and disgust deeper, I embraced them. I starred at them with my mind's eye and looked deep down in my heart. IT WAS SO UNCOMFY. It was like sitting on a pile of nails, glued on the ground sticking straight up.
When I got home, I was directed as to the kind of tonic to make for my body. It sounded disgusting.
But, I was firmly instructed to have faith & trust (two things that are not at all fluffy when you're actually doing it).
So, I pulled down the blender and added: *Vitamineral Green *Liquid Ginseng *Raw cacao *Tons of raw aloe gel (from the plant I found outside) *Filtered water *Fresh ginger *Goji Berries
I blended it up & then I starred at it. The top foam looked like dirty fluff. I didn't want to drink it. But, when I finally tasted it, it was delicious! It was totally yummy. There wasn't even anything sweet in it but it just tasted chocolatey. Physical tonic.
Then, I had to do something for my spirit. Last week I invested in a program called Angel Qi Gong by Dr. Nick Good. It is a Qi Gong practice that involves connecting spiritually to the magic of life. I had only done it one time before this and this time was exponetially more powerful than the first experience. I expect the power of the practice to continue growing. Spiritual tonic.
Finally, I had to do something for my mind. In January of 2009, I bought one of the most powerful pschological reconditioning systems that exists (SUNPOP, www.successultranow.com). I read the book and never had the courage to start. Then, I started at the beginning of this year but never made it the full 21 days that you're meant to do the program.
So, last night, I plugged it in and began. Half way through (it's 1 hour 15 minutes), it cut me off and I didn't get to finish it, but just that bit totally changed my mental state. Mind Tonic.
I ended with a yoga session and some breathing.
It was powerful to totally surrender my ego and embrace change.
A tantalizing theatrical performance by the heart. Plays on stage, all engaged, hearts tender. Feeling the rhythm of the heart beat. Rhythm of the heart beat. Rhythm of the heart beat. Rhythm. Your childess heart is dancing & spinning upon the stage... Wild, pure, freedom courses through your veins... Through your body beats the essence of life. Into your mind, nothing...you are present. Loved. Accepted. Here.
--
I brutally learned in the last 24 hours that my heart does not dance upon stage anymore, nor does it feel the rhythm of its own beat.
Sometime, long ago, I shut it off to feeling. Sometime, long ago, I was very hurt (and I don't remember the specific instance) and I decided that "No one will ever hurt me again." So, in order to ensure this, I shut down my heart chakra, I closed the door to most feeling and I began to live my life this way. The result? Very successful business endeavors, enough of an open heart to fool myself and others that I'm loving & lovable & then there are good friends, but still, at a distance. The inability to be with some romantically. Until 2 months ago, I still hugged people sideways, not letting my heart touch theirs-no chest to chest. The inability to get too close and the inability to finish things. Because what, what happens if I finish something? It ends. And endings can hurt. So, like I read my books & I clean my room & I start projects & businesses, I live my entire life...unfinished.
I've discovered this is a huge part of being a lover. A lover of life, of people, of the essences that makes us up. A lover of magic, lover of acceptance & abundance. A lover of another.
True, unadulterated, beautiful sacred sex is an art. It's becoming a lover, being a lover, embodying love. Not only an art form, it's an act that the heart has to be willing and ready to perform. Touching, caressing, breathing with, experiencing deep sensual eye contact with another person, in a moments whisper you are pure, you have surrendered. It is a time when you can be nowhere but here and nothing but present.
Sex. Is it right or wrong? Is the answer that black or white? People who are considered to be spiritually evolved are known not to engage. But why? Is it for purities purpose? To ensure that another energetic force is not let into their body for possibility of throwing off the energetic balance?
These questions have coursed through my mind for a long time. Recently, I was listening to a recording by Dr. Nick Good (www.successultranow.com), someone I consider highly evolved and he touched briefly on sexual intercourse. He noted that there have been periods in his life when he was "happily celibate" and times when he engaged in sexual activity. He noted that it is simply about acknowledging the other person, engaging in dialogue about what it means to have a sacred experience with them. What does it mean to totally honor and respect that person & be there, just with them fully in the moment. He then noted to have an inner dialogue about the duality between porn & sacred sexuality. Porn, being the lowest possible vibratory form of sexual existence, and sacred sexuality being the highest possible form of sexual existence. Why do they both exist? Simply because our universe can only function with duality? Night & day, hot & cold?
So, Sacred Sex/Sexuality to me is an experience. Maybe research is involved www.tantra.com Maybe a deeper understanding of yourself is it. Maybe opening your heart chakra to the essence of life. Letting the magic presence that is all around us flow in will do it. Or maybe it's none of these. Maybe, it's sitting with yourself. For the first time ever or for the one millionth time. Exploring your body inch by inch, the entire thing from top to bottom. Slowly. What does your own hair smell like? What do your toenails look like? How does the top of your inner thighs look just below your butt? If you don't love these parts & if you can't be with them, you will never allow another to, nor will they want to. Explore. & Find a LOVE for yourself so deep inside. (Please note, when you begin, you may feel intense emotions such as shame, guilt, strangeness, love, hate, etc. Be with it. Feel it. CRY.)
Below. This is the wall I had built around my heart. With a wall comes a shadow, a place for emotions to hide & pile up. A place for them to act as saboteurs on the stage. No longer will this be my reality. No longer will I leave a wall around my heart to push people away, to keep people out. Here and now, the wall is crumbling inside.
