Quick Beauty Turnround 48-Hr Regime: Be Notified!

2012-01-27T17:51:00.001-05:00

Look for the complete "What I'm Doing Today" post coming very soon ...

... with my ultimate detailed instructions on quick glowing beauty (48-hr Lockdown) ...

From my e-book I will post via video on the abdominal castor oil pack, the coffee enema, the green juice rescue program after a food mishap (such as gluten poisoning or a hopeless binge).

You can get and stay on-track with me. I truly understand and have so been there.

Especially great advice for those w/ IBS, celiac, endometriosis and immune issues.

New in this post will be how to use eHCG drops as a raw vegan and melt fat safely and rapidly.

If you want that post sent to your inbox, subscribe to the feedburner box at the right of this post.

Five-Day Fasting Retreat: Name Your Cost ...

2012-01-19T14:32:00.002-05:00

Enjoy a retreat at the edge of two worlds: downtown Portland and Forest Park.

Yes, it is a delightful time here at Rawprincess Studio. Why? Because when it comes to self-transformation and rejuvenation, we are rolling in it like pigs who know they will never be eaten. Pink. (Or, Brown, black or red.) Happy and loving lovebugs, all.

Come.

Yes, all who have wandered or forgotten their soul's calling. All who have remembered. Or even those who never strayed. Arms open. No judgment.

Juice.

Fresh, cool, hydrating, forgiving, cleansing juice. Flowing through your body giving you respite from the days of rushing and stuffing down the fear. Now is a great time to reclaim your most precious activated-goddess / god self.

The Scoop

Five days: Wednesday February 15 through Tuesday February 21.
This gives you five full days of juice.
Cost: You name your cost ... email me RawprincessStudio at gmail dot com. e.g.
If you do a Master Cleanse it will be less expensive than five days of a gallon of fresh green juice and fruit juice.

This is a kick-off for the studio here and a sacred event. You will be received with much gratitude and celebration. Thank you for joining me.

bliss~cindy

Greeen juice makes it all sparkle!!

You can do this!!

Do you need to get away from those daily habits which you keep putting off breaking until "tomorrow" but tomorrow doesn't quite get here?

Do you long for a space of just being. No "to do" list. No phone calls to make. Just hanging out, maybe walking, napping, getting bodywork and a colonic. Resting. Doing yoga and meditation in your quiet cubby?

Do you want a hug and a smile from someone who is on the journey with you? Making fresh juice together for the day and then heading up the hill for a morning walk in the woods?

Do you want to hop on the streetcar with no particular agenda, maybe cruising through the independent bookstore, or picking up a fresh juice downtown?

All these things will happen for you this February when you enter the domain of Rawprincess Studio. It's my first offering EVER of a five-day juice fast retreat. Our colonic appointments will be booked separately so when you name your cost keep in mind the colonics are not provided.

There is nothing stopping you now.

Want a jumpstart on your one "wild and precious life"??? It gets kind of hard to even dream anymore when the body is so compromised with stress and a less than optimal state of overfed/undernourished.

We can do together what we cannot do alone.

Join me.

Let's get juicy. Let's get very very juicy. :-)

More about Rawprincess Studio:

Rawprincess Studio Meetup

As I create sacred space here in the stillness at Rawprincess Studio I find the clutter is emerging from deeper and deeper layers. As I release all that is not my soul's calling and willingly release mistaken identities and beliefs, my own power from deep inside is literally being pulled up and out. Until I am turning myself inside out. I have suspended yoga slings called Om Gyms here. I have space to do yoga. We have trees and a trail to Washington Park and on into Forest Park. We are doing a monthly sleepover with greeeeen juice and smoothies. This is a food-free zone for 2012. The only chewable things here are and will be chlorella tablets and bee pollen. It is a trigger-free space, safe for everyone who is stepping outside of emotional and addictive eating. It is a safe place to drop down to the floor and stop all the rushing around and avoidance. Listening Turns is a process I use along with Listening Hands: both non-agenda, non-invasive ... Reiki is here, the "Ray" as well as in-depth healing arts menu. I've started Rawprincess Studio as a meetup because I am enjoying surrounding myself with believing mirrors for eachother now. The fans of Andy Williams' Year of Juice will gather here and juice all year together. Weekly juicing, energy yoga, self-body reflexology and astrology self-awareness body readings will all be luxuriously utilized on the mats of Rawprincess Studio beside the large oak trees of SW Market Street just where it has become Market Street from SW 14th. Recap: Weekly juice support and listening turns. (Dates TBA) Monthly sleepovers with yoga, juice, body-rollers / back care.

Rawprincess Studio Gallbladder Flush

Cindy Cummins, RPP, a Registered Polarity Practitioner OR #11683, will lead monthly group coached gallbladder-flush retreats and optional three-day juice fast retreats coinciding with the GB flush schedules, onsite at Rawprincess Studio.

You will need to prepare at home for this to work. Complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to determine if this is right for you.

There is a basic kit and a deluxe flush kit option. There is a basic intake and an extended intake option as well.

Upon receipt of payment you will receive an interview appointment to determine your personalized menu and prep plan for the GB flush protocol. You will receive instructions and a schedule based on your intake and body-reading.

Basic Intake is in person and is a 30-minute appt. Your meridians will be briefly palpated for assessment.

The Extended Intake will take between two and three hours by appointment only and includes tailored assessment via palpation within a bodywork session. Bodyreadings and intuitive inquiries based on the meridians of your body's congestion or signals during the session. Hara Diagnosis is a shiatsu term and does not imply medical diagnosis. Bodywork sessions may include but are not limited to: shiatsu, polarity, tui na, reflexology, sports, deep tissue, biodynamic craniosacral, reiki, therapeutic touch, european swedish.

The overnight is each month just before the new moon and your preparation will be your responsibility (group support is free but you must RSVP) anywhere from a week to at least three days before the flush protocol.

This involves consuming only fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds and no other essences. Sea salt and cold-pressed oils, as well as specific herbs and pure condiments may be used. We will determine these seasonings in your interview based on your current preferences and / or imbalances.

The day of the flush no food is taken after noon. You will arrive at Rawprincess Studio time TBA, and other than the lecture which teaches you how to do the flush as a group, there will be a lot of relaxing activities--again based on individual constitutions and needs--such as simply resting in your dorm cubby, suspended yoga, polarity yoga on the mat, ecstatic dance, open "mike" self- or paired-bodywork, massage in a treatment room by a licensed LMT, self-reflexology classes will always be taught during group coaching.

We will prepare in the kitchen, the lemon juice olive oil mixture as well as gather the items each participant will need for their bedtime ritual. You will have your own basket. Castor oil hot packs will be placed on the abdomen for several hours when you retire to assist the dilation of the hepatic duct.

In the morning, you will take a high coffee enema which you will self-administer in private. (Instruction and support by Cindy Cummins, LMT, is available as part of the retreat). You will then be going out to your colonic hydrotherapy appointment locally. We work with several professionals and everyone can go approx the same time within a few hours of each other.

Your retreat is now over and you may have a fresh juice with the group or on your own and a light blended meal.

There will be a follow-up phone and web chat later that day or evening (specific time as arranged by group vote.)

Applying to this flush does not guarantee your will be accepted. Rawprincess Studio et al reserves the right to deny access and to terminate a participant's retreat with no refund for misconduct or inappAropiate behavior. This is a nonsexual event.

If two participants apply together and are friends who wish to share their sleeping space a discount may apply and another spot will open for another participant.

You will take home your remaining gallbladder flush kit supplies for at-home subsequent GB/LV flushes.

Note: Those with existing medical conditions must have the okay from their primary care health practitioner.

You may benefit from the Saturday's Intro to Juicing and Vibrant Weight Release events.

Prices include a professional colon hydrotherapy session.

Basic Intake and Basic Flush Kit with Overnight at Rawprincess Studio: $290
Extended Intake and Deluxe Flush Kit with Overnight at Rawprincess Studio: $590

Goodnight

2012-01-04T05:09:00.002-05:00

That was cool. This is now. Can't resist. (Plus Invite to Andy "Year of Juice" Saturday)

2012-01-03T03:46:00.002-05:00

I actually realized by quitting that I love blogging probably the most of all the things I do here on gathering places.

Why?

Well, for me it's sort of like a collage. I get to publish something fairly rapidly which has all the components of some of my favorite things of the moment.

Nothing can beat that right now.

Kim is like me God speaks to her via treasures stepped upon in the leaves.

My sister Kim Cummins and me at Sacajawea WA Park

Well, okay, how can I possibly quit blogging when it's the beginning of Andy Williams "Year of Juice" well ... I'm under way less pressure than him but I want to follow him and yesterday I didn't!

I'm lucky to have reached a smoothie day where that totally worked for me today PLUS everyone I went up the hill to Sacajawea with Kimmie today ... vid follows ...

Oh well, I can't pull up the walk wtih Kim. So it will be tomorrow. Bliss~

I'm just saying this is going to be so short and sweet.

A) I love blogging and I'm going through withdrawal.

B) I feel a cringing feeling inside to "cut people off" and delete them but I need to let go just like with everything else. The good can happen.
C) I know I'm forgetting something but I am willing to trust that what needs to be here will be here.

I Joined CtH Last Night Jan 1, 2012

The second video posted is of the communion at Christ the Healer circle in Milwaukie where I have been going for several years now. It is home to the longest running raw vegan potluck (alternated with chef'd events) in Portland ... You know I've run from all things Christ for some time now. My father was a Friends' minister and my job was to rebel. But deep down I do have the crazy rabbi in my heart (as CtH Minister extraordinaire calls Jesus quite often.) I like the way things go there and last night I joined the church after much thought and a little bit of being too busy to turn in the application.

You see, with the recent Reiki attunement I got this symbol imprinted on my heart chakra as well as my forehead third eye chakra. I have a spiritual Master in my third eye already and from my childhood I still have Jesus in my heart via the Holy Spirit. (Yes I used to freak my Dad out and speak in tongues as a teen--in between giving bible tracts to Hell's Angels in Long Beach with my girlfriend who liked to witness for Christ by taking her top off, that was truly fun. We'd make sandwiches on the streets so we could testify.)

But I'm rambling, I realize this.

What are you gonna do? Amazing Synchronicities! Dave the Raw Trucker and Rok Caldwell

So Recap!!!

Invitation: This Saturday at noon.
What: Andy "Year of Juice" Williams will speak and answer questions on juicing.
Where: Rawprincess Studio 1511 SW Market Street, Portland OR

2012-01-02T04:44:00.001-05:00

My Dearest Darling Reader:

Yes, I won't blog but I WILL show up in your inbox.

Wha ...?

Yes, I quit.

But I also delete you.

Wha ...?

Yes, aren't you sick of unsolicited sales and pitches? Are you overwhelmed with new blogposts?

Not to mention am I really connecting with you here?

The solution?

Introducing "Views From Cindy's Window"

Christmas At Rawprincess Studio

2011-12-26T02:39:00.000-05:00

A business meeting with Laura Fox is like none other you can possibly imagine. She did a powerful cord cutting impromptu ceremony on me complete with razor sharp insights; she immediately saw the precariousness of my entire home's feng shui and facilitated a freakin' magic carpet ride (or was it a space ship?) with me and co-Best of Raw peeps before we even set our intentions for Best of Raw 2011!!! *squeeee* and this has been life changing for me. My home is halfway transformed! PS I'm the go-to girl for your business sponsorship of this year's shenanigans!

“Don't wait until everything is just right. It will never be perfect. There will always be challenges, obstacles and less than perfect conditions. So what. Get started now. With each step you take, you will grow stronger and stronger, more ...and more skilled, more and more self-confident and more and more successful.”

- Mark Victor Hansen

Introducing my NEW meetup group! Weekly juicy bliss and monthly overnights. Follow and fan Andy Williams with me the Year of Juice!!! Rawprincess Studio is a trigger-free zone. Read more PDX friends! :-)

Very Merriest of holidays to all of you with love from Zeke, Cindy & Sophie at Rawprincess Studio in Portland 2011!

Deck the halls with red bell peppers ... and a carnation or two.

today's lovely droplets fm cindy :-)

For today:
Have a blissed, blessed holiday season -- wishing everyone lots of love with family and friends. Thanks for your thoughtful wishes here!

Just for Today: In a very positive and pro-recovery way, I am being called to do a liquids only protocol.

hot tea
apple juice with Colon Care
At least 1 qt of green juice
hempseed latte

I am grateful I had time to really just hang out for solstice last night.
I am grateful I'm going to pick up my two youngest children in an hour or so.
I am grateful I got my tax refund so I have rent for Jan as well as Dec.
I am grateful that I continue to remove more clutter from here and make sacred space for living.
I am grateful that I AM ENROLLED in PSU for winter term.
I am grateful that even though I have no idea yet what classes or what schedule that will be, I am confident if it is meant to be that I will be able to work it out with my massage job and things will work out just right for both my income, my studies and my family.
I am grateful that I notice how terrifying it felt to have money in my account yesterday and how I had to really just be still with it and receive.

God/dess I ask for your help and guidance with my budget and desire to fix up Rawprincess Studio both for my children to hang out and also to take the next most key steps to create a retreat-like setting here which will be of service and generate income.

Please help me soothe and take care of my digestion today and to step in sync with nature's rhythms. Help me to tap into my own inner harmony and to focus on self-care. I am enjoying finding the right place to get a check-up now. I am enjoying new running shoes and fresh work pants now. I am enjoying time with my children and helping to provide the optimal healthy loving space for them over these next few days now. I am enjoying a balance between structure and limits for them and playfulness and whimsy now.

I thank you Higher Power that much of the grief of letting go of Mr M seems to be processed today. The interesting awarenesses and willingness to awaken and become self-empowered are returning. I am grateful that I am willing to open my mind to the purity of spirit I know I must have in order to be an effective healer. I am grateful I am forgiven for where I may have been confused. In the confusion I always wanted what was right. I never meant to harm myself. I never meant to lose my own soul. I've always meant to live within a deep sense of devotion and commitment to the Beloved.

I am grateful that the whole holistic picture of my offerings is coming into focus now.

Thank you so much Universe for the truly miraculous timing that I do have money for this weekend. Even though I KNOW the focus isn't to be money. Guide me to serenity and peace that I may enjoy this beautiful time. Guide me to make the best choices possible for me and my kids this weekend.

Mid-process of clearing shown above in this video from last week. Look for updates and don't miss then next exciting episode from the Let's Get Personal Series by Cindy ... enter your email in the right sidebar for VIP style notifications. I will never abuse your email.

cindy<3 <3 <3

I will post the earlier post last:

As I pitch out the useless my new owner slipped and drifted off my iceberg.

As I take this baby finger and scratch through the hole in the avalanche I'm pinned in ...

and reach over and scratch at the mountain which contains you, too ...I see a pinky reaching out from the mountain. It is yours.You reach over to me. To free me from my prison.Perhaps, not so long from now I will see your face.And we will dance on the beach, hair flying in the breeze. Seagulls screaming like sirens announcing our return.:-)

I am grateful I see that I am tethered to my computer and to my bowls of salad.
I am grateful for the spark of life which compels me to break free of anything which blinds me.
I am grateful for the courage to live this day without the collar of an inappropriate Man... not the One I am meant to serve.
I am grateful, so grateful, for the opportunity to live my lifeoutloud. I love who I am. I love who I am becoming. I love this planet,its creatures and Mary Oliver!
Iam grateful I ate the cabbage and carrots and cashews with dehydratedmushrooms and olive oil, sea salt ... I am grateful I noticed the way Iwolfed this down and wondered if I will ever be cured of this hunger.
I am grateful for hope and the walk to Sacajawea tonight, and to thestore with a friend, having not walked up there in months. Somethinghad shut me down, perhaps that spell is now broken and I will be wholeagain.
My broken doll-self having reunited her pieces ... glued sutures were blended into tightly smoothed flesh.
I am grateful I did the dishes and I am grateful i recognize what a feral cat I have become.
Iam grateful I have toes that long for luxury beneath my feet. Carpets,cushions, lighting and candles, chocolate elixirs with chaga is in mynear future.
And I am grateful that the top of the list is "how do I want to make mymoney" that is the only really job I have saith Abraham, what do I want.
I am grateful Galen will discuss with me to be clear on all levels of engaging.
I am grateful that I realize MO is there and that if all else fails, IfI never find the holistic Master I seek that he is there and may trulybe the one.
But I am grateful that I have much work to do. I am grateful that I am to BE what I seek first.
I am grateful for Joy and all that she has managed to give me over theyears even with how little we actually see one another. People are likethat. A moment can be like eternal gold.
Iam grateful I realize the importance to not fade away from this list.To keep going no matter how the feral cat in me wishes to hiss andretreat in fear. :-)
I am grateful I "came out" on facebook.
Hi everyone.

Today:
qt water
large diluted apple juice with psyllium
cup of yerba mate
plan:to go out and get some ripe banana and/or agave for my fixin's i havehere. OR to try making the smoothie with what I already have here itmight be taste enough I don't know.

I am grateful Mr A. released me last night ... even though it waspainful and is confusing to be my own free agent, it really does makemore sense. He apologized for being so selfish from long distance ...

Plan: green smoothie or a carrot soup.
a cacao elixir

I like this photo of my morning journal spot back in the day.

I am grateful for all the friends coming out of the woodwork
Iam grateful and interested in how being the most open honest andauthentic (not so much in a sloppy way, just in a concise way) bringsso much more comments, attention and inquiries than "trying hard" everdid in the past.
I am grateful for this day to rest my hands ...
I am grateful for the sun may I get out in it.

god/dessdont know what PSU's lack of organization is or the ding dong girl atthe desk I spoke with did with my application last week ... :( wow!!!!!It completely disappeared??? Well, glad I checked. Editors note: they found it and I am actively enrolled ... :-)

Probably have to walk down there again which is God's' way ofsaying it's good for me. I'm only a $100 away from having all the renttogether for Dec. Cool.

The Babygirls

Daughter enjoyed the "Nacho Refrito Boats" (farthest pic down)

Day 1 of Rawprincess Studio's Moon in Virgo 30-day Fitness Challenge walking along Oceanside Harbor with Mom.

Thanksgiving at the Thomas C Chavez and Gabrielle Chavez's Grace Gardens in Oregon City.

Thanksgiving Weekend:

My situation was Master is not here and my children were at their dad's but I went to my raw vegan family dinner out at an organic farm at a home. It was a potluck style but I will list what I made and what I can remember. I actually made a video of it which you are more than welcome to view!

I made what I called "Apple Purity Bread Pudding"

A base of coconut cream folded into a Divine Organics Thai Coconut Sugar with Vanilla Cream Stevia (Sweetleaf brand) which was folded into some lightly blended dates and walnuts with whole walnut pieces, large coconut shavings, coconut oil, a vanilla pod (scraped the inside seeds out to use just the inner pod),and sea salt to taste. Into that I'd also placed a royal jelly / ginseng powder and lucuma powder.

I had prepared at the side, a large bowl of sliced apples which I'd mixed with fresh lemon juice and raw cinnamon powder. In that I'd placed an accent of goji berries which soon plumped up nice from the lemon juice. A little vanilla and just a dash of sea salt as well.

I then folded the first crumble mix into the apples and lightly pressed it all into a pyrex rectangular dish. Refrigerated then cut into squares and served after drizzling the top with more coconut sugar and coconut oil and cinnamon. More walnuts could be used.

Very rich.

At the dinner there were "BBQ" kale chips, two kinds of kale salad, Nut Love w/BBQ sauce (yes, a take off of meat loaf :-)) collard wraps, cranberry swirl, portobello mushroom "gravy" (made by marinating portobellos first in olive oil and sea salt, then chopping them and dehydrating then blending half of them into water for an amazing gravy you can't tell is raw.) There was greens from the organic farm so they were very green and various textures, some wild weeds, some leafy. Much more. I have a YouTube on that here. The mashed potatos were delicious--made of blending cauliflour with cashews, olive oil and sea salt.

Also the name "Akita" should have really been Edith.

Other desserts were pumpkin chocolate squares, chocolate uncake, and more.

"On the road to fame, don't step on children." I say as I pan the group with the camera and almost trip over the young ones. Ha ha.

We had dinner and then the lady of the house who is also a minister of the church, Gabriel Chavez has a tradition of the walk on Thanksgiving Day. (It's called Christ the Healer (CtH) but is extremely progressive and eclectic--under the umbrella of the UCC churches which have done tons for example for GLBTQ support.) She led a two mile walk through the town or Oregon City which felt GREAT to go do! It was up and down hills with a great view of the river (Willamette?? I should know that.)

Afterward we all went back and I played guitar and sang, making up lyrics as I went about the apples and lemon juice and goji berries in my dessert. :-) It felt good to play for people. With my lifecoach it's come up that music is actually my primary purpose, and sharing it is really the most important gift to my tribes. ... so that was very cool since I haven't played in public since the open mikes in Minneapolis with (former) Master there.

I received a little Thai massage there in the middle of everything and also gave some bodywork to a friend in the midst of everyone and his pain completely vanished, plus I saw that it was his Gallbladder meridian which was screaming out at him. :-) Thomas C Chavez, author of Body Electronics (and Gabriel, the minister's husband) also confirmed the GB spots.

Then we had a traditional Durian opening. And if anyone wanted water it was spring water on the deck and you had to step outside for your water. There was an outdoor heat source there so it was really nice.

I filmed a bunch and then left, giving some neighbors a ride home. It was a beautiful dinner.

The next day I got my son for the day and we relaxed. My daughter went to a sleepover at a friends instead so I didn't see her this time. They will both be with me for quite a few days including Christmas.

Refritos unFrijoles
water
sunflower seeds
cumin
coriander
favorite salsa

Soak sunflower seeds in water for at least two hours.
Blend with cumin and coriander and your favorite salsa.

This recipe was graciously texted to me the day Michael was coming over for dinner by Coach Cher Til! I want you to know that her ebook is ONLY filled with the most delicious and simplest of recipes. I think she prides herself in five ingredients or less.

Her bean dip (here, above) was very popular at the hip rawkin' greeeen juice party which followed the Third Annual International Juice Feast Day in Seattle in September. Aw shucks where's that cool vid with me dancing and massaging the Raw Brah's ... Anyways her recipes are available here.

What ended up happening was, I ended up finding the "It's Alive" seeds here in Portland which are already soaked and dehydrated with spicy herbs added. I used those and a little bit of a garbanzo raw miso and it was delicious. I also blended with salsa as Cher said to.

Cashew Sour Cream

Soak cashews in water. Drain and rinse.

Blend in enough water to make sour cream texture with olive oil, sea salt and lemon juice, to taste.

St Francis of Assisi Prayer

Lord, make me a channel of thy peace --
that where there is hatred, I may bring love --
that where there is wrong, I may bring the spirit of forgiveness --
that where there is discord, I may bring harmony --
that where there is error, I may bring truth --
that where there is doubt, I may bring faith --
that where there is despair, I may bring hope --
that where there are shadows, I may bring light --
that where there is sadness, I may bring joy.
Lord, grant that I may seek rather to comfort than to be comforted --
to understand, than to be understood -- to love, than to be loved.
For it is by self-forgetting that one finds. It is by forgiving that one is forgiven.
It is by dying that one awakens to Eternal Life. Amen.

--St. Francis of Assisi, 1181-1226

From Andy Williams & Shanti Moon's Raw VeganThanksgiving Feast Class: Pumpkin PIe and Ice Cream, (11o'clock on plate) Hug-a-Turkey Nut Loaf, Mashed Potatoes, Mushroom Gravy, Stuffing, Cranberry Dream, Winter Scones

I enjoyed the pumpkin pie and the ice cream made in a real ice cream maker with a coconut base, out of this world! This is the best pumpkin pie I've EVER tasted. Better than any cooked or raw. By Andy Williams. (Of "Year of Juice")

Some girls enjoy our weekly raw vegan refreshment w/ demo's here at RS and listening circle.

The demo today was "Coconut-Chia Goodgirl Smoothie"

Coconut-Chia Goodgirl Smoothie :-)

3 c. coconut water
1 c. large coconut flakes (unsweetened and soaked in coconut water several hours)
4 T. chia seeds (soaked in coconut water w/ the coconut flakes)
2 scoops Vega Sport performance protein
2 rounded T. coconut oil (raw unrefined)
6-7 drops Sweetleaf Vanilla Creme Stevia
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of sea salt

Are you avoiding journaling?
Have you avoided any quiet time?
Have you avoided just walking?

When you stop the addiction feelings come up. When you journal, get still with yourself, just walk and observe nature's cues, the feelings come up. That's okay, they are leaving like a toxin ... take some time in the mirror to cry, truly cry ...

This "Crying Comes Up" video is, in a nutshell the message of Rawprincess Studio and in a nutshell a key way to end racism ... When you have unreleased emotions, it "looks like" racism to those around you.It looks snobby and elitist in a certain way and pushes people away from you. To soften one's edges, release the emotion with a warm relaxed listener who will not interrupt or give you advice. This indeed, softens the hard edges of the oppression which is the ONLY thing holding racism in place. Babies--before they are dipped and breaded and rolled and pan-fried in our world's unfortunate racist insidious conditioning; before they get it loud and clear that unfortunately there is this tragic BS they've been born into--LOVE everyone with few exceptions (scary people are merely ones with unreleased issues, right? :-)) our nature and birthright is to have close personal ties across many different lines: cultural, heritage, class, demographic and geographic nuances...

If you've watched the "Crying Comes Up" video (above this one) then you're ready for some comic relief. Watch "Cindy's Sugar Connection" here, (58 seconds long) The samples are $15 a jar and bulk orders are welcome for deeper cost effectiveness. Please just drop me a note and I will get you set up for the exchange. :-) (Commenting here is fine. I get these messages instantly.Or email me cindy at skylight massage dot com)

Today:
black coffee, some water
Lunch: stuff (I won't have time to overeat so I'm safe ha ha)
Tonight: making din din for my new BF (local!!!)

I am grateful for a shift since Mr A worked with me on some stress relief focuses this weekend!!!
I am grateful for the amazing raw vegan annual home Thanksgiving dinner at the Chavez's in Oregon City!!
I am grateful I loved the dessert I made for the dinner and I have leftovers to share with Michael this evening.
I am grateful the obsession to eat everything in the house or thevicinity has been lifted and that lot of it has to do with connectionand even the stress relief techniques and care from Mr A via longdistance!!
I am grateful for coach Lori and how she is totally the kind toencourage me to show up and share my gifts on the web--AS IS-- not waitfor some perfect day.
I am grateful for Harvey Jackins and the five plus years I spent withhis community--one of his sayings which stuck first and foremost withinme is I will not hold back on my contacts. Harvey had hundreds andhundreds of very close friends all around the world--some of which hewould only see once a year or even less--but they wrote back andforth, visited for workshops, had listening exchanges (sometimes just afew minutes long but were extremely key and personal) ... I gleanedthat and I am noticing throughout the course of a day I have contactwith probably hundreds of folks. But this is not a stretch to me.Contrary. I see that i can have hundreds and even thousands of closefriends whom I touch in with in a very personal and loving way and weare touchstones to eachother's growth ... we are aware of eachother, wewould consider each other dear friends and in a pinch that person isfamily, we know that about each other. So I am grateful for HarveyJackins ability to see that and share that as a counseling direction.
"I will not hold back on my contacts."

I am grateful for a phone "mini-session" with Randy just now and thereminder within myself that I actually want to enroll in PSU to get mybachelor's degree ... an English / graphic arts focus ... they have anew athletic center and one of the top 30 libraries in the country ...
I am grateful my son is here and Icovered him with his old baby blanketwhich reminded us to think where I got that blankie which prompted meto seek the lady out and send a friend request on FB --havent seen herin years and wasn't sure how to get in touch.
I am grateful for the pepperminty feeling of the toothpaste in my mouth right now.

God/dess I am grateful for Michael arranging for me to prepare him araw vegan meal--how brilliant. I am grateful for his idea: he isatheist and non-vegetarian but has these deep political passions andengages in conversation regularly within various online communitieswhich I find attractive. He also met me downtown for a walk and wasvery relaxed, reading a book, when I jogged up a little late ... nocell phone! Yes, he does not use a cellphone and he took public transto meet me.. Love that slow-down and be in this place feeling.

Thought for the Day: I will not hold back on my contacts.

Late-Night Licorice Root Sucking ...

2011-11-19T01:01:00.000-05:00

Happiness? A good cigar, a good meal, a good cigar and a good woman - or a bad woman; it depends on how much happiness you can handle.
--George Burns

You could say I have issues. I know I'm not alone on this. I would do the tongue patch but have seen it as a temporary solution to oral fixation. Here, shown, I have a bonafide licorice root. No, I don't light it. I put it in my mouth and just savor it.

I've been looking for the whole licorice roots for years now. I used to use them as a way to focus my oral sensations without eating tons of calories. Everyone seems to sell them in chunks now, for teas. The People's Food Co-op in SE Portland has them in the herb section in bulk. Oh yeah!

My Home Series In My First Paid Personal Coach Lifestyle Unheaval Pt 2

2011-11-15T16:12:00.000-05:00

You won't want to miss my "Before" Video of my Home and Studio Space!

The SGFPDX (slavegirl-figure Portland) group met in the produce section this week as the Rawprincess Studio was under ahem, construction ... :-) We walked a mile together and got FOCUSED on our wellness!! We also have some ideas for a high protocol dinner and fundraising efforts for greens and blenders for at-risk members. Yay!!

As some of you know, I'm in coaching. I don't want to NOT mention quite a few people who I feel are totally transformative to me and valuable and it COULD have been any of them who I ended up paying to coach me. I actually have been in their paid GROUP coaching classes lately and LOVED them. I am STILL followers and believe they led me to distinguish LORI as my current cosmically aligned personal coach for the coming year at least!!

My must NOT to be missed life and wellness energy workers / coaches are: Namaste Moore of Academy of Human Arts, Shakaya Leone of Earth Empress the Beauty Cleanse, (Earth Empress is about to start the regular raw cleanse so make sure to find her) Kiu Imandel's Juice feast, Gabriel and Thomas C Chavez's Body Electronics and The Compass Way programs. Angela Stokes-Monarch's Raw Emotions book and her blog Raw Reform ...

I mention these people ALL my support system but am also extremely happy and pleased to be accepted into a coaching relationship with this dynamic, authentic, powerful, smart, electric, gorgeous, fit and healthy person as well ...

And, I'm BIASED even further now because I am being coached by *drum rolls drum rolls drum rolls*

Lori Painter of www.LifeByLori.com

Fun, yes, clearing clutter does open space to create and bring in something more authentic, in line with your dreams!! This stainless counter, previously filled with clutter, is now freshly wiped and has a small tray of fruit and daily staples.

If you watched the before video (link at top of post) you can see I have done my dishes and added IKEA chef -style racks. I love them! As I peel away 80% of my belongings (Lori inspired) and ADD better shelving and functionality in each room, life gets real FUN plus I have ROOM to create and be happy! :-)

I was helping my daughter with math homework a few nights and it actually allowed me the company I sometimes need to complete a project. All planets aligned and I got these stainless steel racks up. Nice.

Notes From A Foxhole Part 2

Today:
water
black coffee
kale salad
coconut sap (moderate amount) with lucuma and allspice

I am grateful for getting a ton of trash, recycling and goodwill loads out yesterday and today.
Iam grateful for the surprise that my daughter is flunking math and thatI have been helping her the past two days with math. I have missedfeeling needed on this planet.
I am grateful she started learning with my help about fractions and that later she told me I rock.
I am grateful for holding her while she cried in frustration where she got stuck.

God/GoddessI did well today on several counts and I appreciate that I may not be ahopeless basket case after all. I know I know. I just actually reallycannot see it sometimes. That's just honest. I'm not trying to affirmit, I just got sooooooo sooooo low. Talking to my first husband fromyears ago on the phone. I wish there was a miracle that could heal himafter how he has abused his body so much for so long that he now hasCOPD ... and his other previous wife told me she is afraid he won'tlast through the winter. Please dear god help him heal. I thank you forthe grace that I myself did not abuse my body that badly for that longbut it still doesn't take away the bitter stinging tears of wanting himto live. I thank you for the dream where he vividly came to me thenight before and for the bumblebee and the lady bug in the house justthen. I thank you for my friends. And ask for the bumps in the road Isense intuitively with JK in SF be merely that. I have a difficult timefollowing his suggestions for me as they seem so remote andnonsensical. Yet, I also see the truth in them: Yes, I do need intimatetouch regularly. But I don't see myself doing that casually--yuck! So,commitment and communication ... then that means finding the rightperson locally ... after Mr Markgraf and how he completely took care ofme and supported me body mind spirit as well as cared deeply andcontributed to education and my professional development as well as mycreative endeavors and community building efforts--after THAT personI'm not at all atracted to just giving myself over to someone who hasNO immediate supportive gestures my way. Thank you for the ones who doand who stay in touch. Why Goddess are they all long distance? Portlandis indeed among the most progressive of places and yet the community isstill quite small ...

God grant me the serenity. If I can hear what the angels aresaying, if I can hear what you are saying to me. If I can disconnectand be still long enough (from chatter online, from chatter of my mind) to listen and that you won't abandon me and give up on how longit takes me to accomplish the simplest of tasks, Master, Lord, I askfor time. Time with Richard before he dies. TIme and oxygen for hislungs. Please.

I only try to do what's healthy for me and how that serves theworld. And now I know that I need time alone... yet if I go crazy ofloneliness I also get nothing accomplished. Thank you I had my greens.Thank you I didn't overspend today. Thank you I have cleared all foodout of the house and that I have accepted I have a disease and I cannotkeep it in the house.

A Spooky Treat and 1st Reiki Attunement / Raw Vegan Potluck Invitation

2011-11-01T01:01:00.000-04:00

Berry Scary Maca-Choca Fudge Bars

With Eye of Newt ...

(Well, Eye Food POW-der from eclectic INSTITUTE)
Ingredients:
Berry Scary bottom layer:

1/2 mill Goji Raw Trail Mix (Goji, Pepita, Nuts)
2-3 T Eye Food POW-der (eclectic INSTITUTE) fresh freeze dried
2T Coconut oil
Lots of agave nectar
pinch sea salt or pink salt
5 drops choc raspberry stevia (Sweetleaf)
3-4 T maca pwdr

Filling 1:

cacao bliss
coconut oil
agave

Filling 2:

Grind your own hempseeds (needs to be a little sticky so use agave or coconut oil.)

Topping:

coconut oil
agave
cacao pwdr
maca pwdr
sea salt
vanilla extract

How to:

Grind the Goji Berry Trail Mix up in a vitamix, dry bowl or a coffee grinder until loosely ground with some granules left ...
Stir with the Eye Food POW-der, coconut oil, agave and sea salt, stevia drops.

Press onto a plate.

For filling #1 In a double boiler slightly warm the Cacao Bliss (brand name) and coconut oil stirring in agave. While still thick, spread on the Berry Scary layer and put in the freezer to harden.

Filling #2 Press freshly ground hempseeds on top of the bottom layer. Use something sticky to hold hemp together.

Topping: In double boiler melt coconut oil until liquid. Stir in agave nectar, cacao pwdr, maca pwdr, sea salt and vanilla ... Dissolve by whisking all together.

Pour the topping over the firmed up bottom layers and freeze all. It will drip off the sides of your shaped slab, that's okay! :-)

After firming, slice into small squares and arrange on a pretty platter.

My picture here, shows some of the chunks of coconut oil in the Berry Scary layer never stirred in but that's okay too, usually. Very rich.

Hey, this is work safe and quite popular!!

Happy Halloween !!!

Listening, receptive hands and the magnetic positve-negative charge with the hands. Now I will have the "Ray" and direct Love flow OUT of the hands. It's all about intention!!! :-)

Reiki First Attunement With Gabrielle Chavez December 10

I have done energy work for a long time. I use my hands in two basic ways. The Polarity Therapy intention where right hand is outgoing or positive charge (like a magnet) and the left hand is receptive or negative charge. This is to stimulate the client's magnetic energy field flow, not to invade it just a little push!

The second way has been a listening with the hands for craniosacral. The hands also receive the client's "story" and the release of stress or shock and trauma just drips off down the practitioner's elbows, as the nervous system downshifts... the hands are both in receptive mode but actually let the client's discharge (like a static charge, invisible but thick and sharp at times) flow off and down into the earth for recycling.

As I was explaining this to a fellow energy worker, my hands were on her ankles and each time I described an intention she said she could totally feel the whole shift in her body!

The third way I described to her--and the one I am now ready to learn--is Reiki! I had always actually avoided receiving an attunement because of the intention of the magnetic / positive-negative stimulation I'd been using for so long. I thought they would conflict. I also felt uncomfortable "putting" anything "into" my client's energy field and just accepted that was not my path.

What changed?

Reading the Anastasia books, something really clicked I knew that just as I could switch back and forth from magnet to listening, I could just as easily move my intention, when appropriate, to "RAY" mode.

I felt that it actually IS very important that I DO receive the attunements at this time in history. I feel it is part of a definite shift in planetary consciousness. Raising and awakening.

Sooo as I observed the healing work Gabrielle Chavez does and I realized she does attunements, I asked her the other night if she would give me the attunement and we set up the organizational structure.

There will be at least five people. Everyone is invited. You don't have to be part of the raw vegan community to sign up for this. It will be in the cob kiva on the beautiful property in Oregon City ... we will have a raw vegan potluck for lunch afterward and the cost is $35.

This will be the First Level Reiki and we will, after practicing for the recommended amount of months, organize a Mastery workshop and second level attunement.

Comment here or at the Meetup site to RSVP. Space is limited.

When December 10, Saturday
10 am to 12 pm
$35

Bring a plant-based uncooked dish or prepared produce. If you have questions comment here or at the Meetup site, linked above. Thank you.

Pear-Chia-Vega Spells Delight

2011-10-28T16:11:00.000-04:00

Pear Chia Vega Delight

2 c coconut water
2 T chia seeds (soaked for at least 10 min in coconut water first)
1 frozen banana
1 lusciously ripe pear
1 scoop Vega Sport natural plant-based performance protein, vanilla
1 rounded T hempseed
1 T coconut oil
5 drops vanilla stevia drops (Sweetleaf is great)
a few drizzles of agave (optional)
a tiny pincy of sea salt (optional)
a few drops of vanilla extract or bean scrapings if you have it. (optional)

Blend until creamy. This is almost magical.

I've been feeling really energized lately when using the Vega products. Now, unfortunately I don't believe they are 100% raw--and I'm probably going to go with Healthforce and Sun Warrior next time I buy. But I didn't realize they weren't raw when I bought them on sale. Delicious and great for transition.

Raw Gossip & Gush / "Girl With A View" Daily Digest

2011-10-27T03:04:00.002-04:00

Today:

Ahh much better.

I can't believe how much better I am feeling and I THINK it's the Vega vegan protein drink thingies .. and a little more sleep a little more exercise (just a little mind you) and also my body always thanks me when I eat light, even if I eat a big bowl of it. :-)Might be the massages I've been getting, also.

(And the B12 which my Coach Dave the Raw Trucker emphatically suggested when I had nooooo energy etc etc).


My sister extraordinaire, Kim Cummins, the ever and still "inspiring2act," Lori Painter of www.LifeByLori.com and me. Okay, would you believe that Kimmie works around the block from Lori? Yes. Okay so listen, Lori is leading an Emotional Fitness Challenge right now. November will be an Intuitive Challenge to DO NOW all those quirky but great things your own inner voice keeps getting drowned out trying to tell you. Time to listen. Her family thought she was absolutely nuts. Lori told us about that time in her life when she was initially tuned majorly into Intuition. The voices in her head had her lighten up her household clutter by about 80%, she lightened up her body clutter to the total cutest (see super cute bikini pic here) and even avoided freeway collisions by listening and not procrastinating to her Intuition. It's a literal voice which caused her to write books at 3am ... Both my sister and I immediately knew we have our voice also and could recall, unfortunately, ignoring it in recent past. My (this) blog will follow Lore's intuitive challenge--watch her get her own intuitive groove on--as well as December's Give It All Away Challenge ... this is when you (and I) get the zen house we always wanted but were too chicken to toss the junk out.

You've got to be teachable. Ask me, I'd have told you I don't need Dara Dubinet's Liquids Only DVDbecause I'd argue I know it all. Wrong! I LOVED her simple soup recipeusing basically carrots, water, coconut oil and a top secret ingredientthat I had never laid eyes on in my life!!! Incidentally, I made this in a low-powered blender so it never really got creamy as we all know a Vitamix will do. Yet, it was still deemed delicious and disappeared by the anonymous tastees onhand.

The charismatic Dave the Raw Food Trucker who released over 200 pounds while driving truck, myself and the handsome AND talented Chef Francisco at www.AmeRAWcanBistro.com I think they make the best bruschetta. I think the delicious Ecopolitan needs to lay off the balsamic and some of the onions ... If I recall I really liked the wheatgrass, the kale chips, the raw pizza, the different breads were unique and impeccable.

""...I am willing to do that even if I never meet someone again who beginsto match what I had, then I will write forever memoir after memoir andpoem after poem about Mr M. I will write songs to him and createcollages and drawings in honor of the love we had. That's okay. I amwilling. And that willingness is what is setting me free to LIVE again.It's setting me free to be happy. It's setting me free to be a good mom...."

Dan the LifeRegenerator was such a high vibration that all the children used him as a human jungle gym during our dance party at the Third International Juice Feast Day. He also spun around on the floor in quite an impressive show of coordination and litheness. (See this in the video at bottom of this page.) It was my very first time to meet him and he is just as real as his videos portray. That IS the real him. His daughters were absolutely clear lights shining on this planet. I am now a shameless fan. Shown here: the studio which has a stellar hot reputation for parties--Urban Lights--which Bill Barlow rented for our impromptu greeeeeeen juice extravaganza which was open to the public and catered by Thrive ... also Chef Cher Til made me very happy when she made sunflower seed "refried beans" yes!!!

The Raw Brahs lit up the entire energy of the greeeen party, the documentary, the dancing AND the Third International Juice Feast Day in Seattle, September 2011: l to r: Daniel "Danimal" Eisenman, Nathanael Eisenman, me and Timothy Eisenman

Lucky me--Yay!--with Penni Shelton of www.RawFoodRehab.com I was an original guinea piglet at the Mansion and am in her book Raw Cleanse ... today her online community boasts over 7,000 members. She told me and Bill Barlow at Dinner at Chaco Canyon that "Cindy has been under the radar too long. It's her time to shine." Penni ate like a bird. But she ordered one of each for everyone to share at the table. She seemed to inspire guys with flexing biceps wherever we went. :-)

Bill Barlow knows how to think on his feet and throw a HOT PARTY!! (And don't miss his next one!) Yes, after the documentary shoot for Dave the Raw Trucker's International Juice Feast Day in Seattle, Barlow merely rented the entire Urban Light Studio for a greeen juice fest which was broadcasted by invites to the entire population of Seattle and surrounding areas: (Aw shucks you have to see me in this vid massaging the Raw Brah's fine bods towards the end...) Such a partyin' gentleman!!! His life celebration is in Los Angeles next month, no expense spared... You will have to search for The Rawprincess on Facebook to see the pics of me on his lap. He was an innocent bysitter but didn't put up much of a fight.

Ms Painter ordered the avocado salad on mixed mesclun greens. I had the side salad as Au Lac was my next destination. Lori carries the book Power Vs Force in her bag--which has the words "United Nations Advisory Board" on the side (or something like that.) The bag was a gift to her by some famous person. Lori also travels light with her iPad and a portable keyboard. She's all about Lightening It Up. She wore adorable blue jeans and a tank top with just a touch of make up. My sister, Kim wore a Hawaiin print fitted dress and ordered the fruit salad with yogurt. Lori and I agreed there was no judgment on Kim's choices.

I made a cacao hempseed mylk in the blender out of what I can find onhand, you know me. In this case that means coconut oil was involved.

From my confidential email newsletter.

Today:
Ahh much better.
I can't believe how much better I amfeeling and I THINK it's the Vega vegan protein drink thingies .. and alittle more sleep a little more exercise (just a little mind you) andalso my body always thanks me when I eat light, even if I eat a bigbowl of it. :-)
Might be the massages I've been getting, also.

Today:

Editors Note : 11:30pm Ended up working OUT FINALLY A FOR REAL WORKOUT HONESTLY!!! The resthave been so wimpy for sooo long! I am so excited. I did it! I havedepended sooo much on Mr M and now I finally have got a taste ofbeing close to myself. I realized during the Sacred Feminine IntensiveLive Chat tonight that I can stay very close in the present moment tomyself and what I'm feeling... also your posts today (I had startedthis post in the morning and kept adding to it all day long until nowit's late at night.) your posts about having anxiety but that eatingdoesn't help it. ... And I realized that staying very close to mysomatic resourcing--it's as simple as noticing the sensation of theedges of my skin and how the weight of my gravity feels, and how thesensation of my clothing feels touching my skin ... and then lovingthat sensation and loving the robotic habit of reaching for somethingto eat instead of reaching to participate in my life.

I ended up having a few bites of the cacao bliss in a jar. I had somecoconut water and a tsp of goji trail mix before my workout. I ran 1.6miles in 20 minutes, I lifted weights for 15 minutes ... dead lifts and lunges with 20lbs in each hand, then arms ... I feel great. I spenta bunch of money. I really got what I wanted because I had the cash anddecided I need to make some money somehow for the attic now. It's alittle complicated. I decided to blog publicly on my spending while I'malso blogging on the fitness challenge.

I am grateful for the recovery here ...
I am grateful for my progress!!
I am grateful for agreeing to meet D.A. for coffee soon. He has beeninquiring about me to Mr A since five months ago and we said no. Butnow I'm realizing that the distance with Mr A is quite a lot and Ireally genuinely was excited about D.A.
I am grateful LE was a little more confiding in me in his last message.
I am grateful that his slow responses alert me to his attitude--which is not eager enough for my liking.
I am grateful I got another massage today and I think I'm feeling better.
I am grateful for the new moon in Scorpio.
I am grateful for the live chats on the Sacred Feminine Intensive 101 ... and the closeness today with the girls.
I am grateful I think I will actually stop by the gym tonight after work.
I am grateful I'm bringing my manager brekky tomorrow.
I'm grateful for my WORKOUT!! Yipeeee. I'm grateful for a couple ofyoung athletic guys who want to run and workout with me, that's verycool.
I'm grateful that their attention really gets me motivated and I feel Imust keep my word when I say I'm really working out today.
I'm grateful that I'm going to be serving at a High Protocol Dinner the Saturday after this.
I'm grateful for Tera Warner's Body Enlightenment summit which is Soooo Cool for girlslike us. She so gets it!!! I love her summit but I haven't joined it,not sure I'm going to be able to choose that, due to time commitmentand due to finance choices.

God/dess today you have reached through to me and given me myself back.I feel myself loving myself and being willing to pay attention and behere with me. I felt myself being ever so sensitive as I am. I feltmyself cry hard because I didn't know what to do about never havingbeen loved as intensely and as deeply and as closely and asdramatically as Mr M loved me. But I told myself I have to letgo of my selfish grief now. I don't want anyone to misunderstand this.This is healthy for me. I don't want anyone to say, "Oh but Cindy youneed to grieve yadda yadda..." because I HAVE BEEN grieving and it hasbecome wallowing. I actually realized that I HAVE TO BE WILLING to beof service on this planet REGARDLESS of whether I EVER find a Love asintense and as beautiful as what Mr M and I shared. I AM WILLINGNOW, right NOW to be there for my kids and my mom and my sisters and mynephew and my clients and Mr A. and I am WILLING to listen to myINTUITIVE voice and DO what it says.

I am grateful for the glimpse that being willing to simply BE withthings just the way they are and to simply LET GO of the pain I'mholding because I'm So Afraid of letting all the way go of Mr M.But it's TIME to let go of Mr M. He deserves to be happy and toget on with his life. It is TIME for ME to let go of Mr Mbecause I have left him and all I'm holding so tightly to is my ownpain which is NOT going to love me, is only holding me back.

I can see a vision of myself loving myself. I can see a vision ofmyself taking care of myself I can see a vision of myself being contentlike a cat by the window in the sunlight, and I can see a vision ofmyself paying attention to myself and thereby being present for those Iam in service to. I can see LOVE bigtime in that.

And I am willing to do that even if I never meet someone again whobegins to match what I had, then I will write forever memoir aftermemoir and poem after poem about Mr M. I will write songs to himand create collages and drawings in honor of the love we had. That'sokay. I am willing. And that willingness is what is setting me free toLIVE again. It's setting me free to be happy. It's setting me free tobe a good mom.

That willingness is setting me free to face this moment without my mouth full of food.

Dave the Raw Food Trucker saved his life by releasing food addiction, following two students advice and juicing for almost a year, losing 200lbs and reversing fourth stage colon cancer, diabetes, his kidneys were leaking proteins and failing ...

Anaïs Nin: “And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom”
2 T chia soaked in homemade hempseed mylk (Blend 2 palmfuls hempseed in water, sweeten to taste, blend well.) Top with chopped apple and cinnamon or raw trail mix. A hydrating harmless dish, for those of us who tend to overeat. ;-) Notice I kept the big guns out: coconut oil and the like.

God/Goddess PLEASE help me through the tangle of inexperience andineptness through to functionality, creation and sharing.

Oh God! Laughs. Is is morning? Yes, it's morning. Is it noon? Yes, it's noon. Am I in my robe? Yes, I'm in my robe. Is that professional? No, that's not professional.

Is a blog meant to be a counselor, a coach, a kick in the butt to start your day? Well, if you're Cindy it could be. Anything can happen. Well, let's see that is, if I'm fully alive, anything can happen.

Am I fully alive?

Not yet but maybe by the end of this post I will be.

What am I going to do with myself? Work out!

A Little Raw Trouble: Warmed coconut sap over Laughing Giraffe Snakeroons & Dark Chocolate: Estimated Time Unknown

The sunlight is reaching into me in my indoor world. Yesterday I did my run to Sacajawea and I've done a run almost every morning. This morning, so far, I've hit a snag. It's still debatable.

I am grateful for realizing my body is frozen in immobility and anytiny movements result in my insatiable appetite being roused to lifelike a roaring lion--which I cannot face therefore lying perfectlystill and not moving might save me.

Here is the email post "cindy foxhole tuesday"

So far today:
root beer
black coffee
chia seeds soaked in homemade hemp mylk w chopped apple
plan: head over to the co-op get some kale chips etc
salad

Yesterday:
I can't even remember except last night salad bar and raw bar and hempseed latte late at night.

Despair, angst, grief cupboard is bare and I want FOOD!

I am grateful for a short entry today.
I am grateful for realizing my body is frozen in immobility and anytiny movements result in my insatiable appetite being roused to lifelike a roaring lion--which I cannot face therefore lying perfectlystill and not moving might save me.
I am grateful that being frozen, immobilized by the attempt to repressmy own energy and to try and be invisible and not take up space isbecoming SO painful that to move and to bloom would be easier.

GodGoddess PLEASE help me through the tangle of inexperience andineptness through to functionality, creation and sharing. ALSO help meacknowledge all I already accomplished this a.m. plus love my body forhow it responds even to the freezing immobility. I thank you for Mr Aand his use of me. If it be your will may he be here. Thy will notmine. I open and ask for personal contact, I ask for appropriateletting in of someone into my life whom I can touch, feel and see, inperson.

I envision a boot camp which is forming. I envision a 30-day fitnesschallenge which will be video blogged by me. I envision the new mooncolon cleanse and gallbladder flush as a series with curriculum andgroup chats and vblogging. I envision my rite-of-pasage 92-day juicefeast v-logged and blogged and an ebook created out of the experience.Thy will not mine be done. All these visions require immense skill andgrowth and communication/organizatioin on my part which feelscompletely over my head at the moment yet it keeps manifesting a littlemore each day. People places things, all in HPs reach.

I was juicing a few days ago ...

I'm coaching some girls starting out with green smoothies ...

"Balsamic and Sage Live Roasted Trumpet Mushrooms & Bell Peppers in a Delicata Squash Cashew Cream Alfredo Sauce tossed with cherry tomatoes, zucchini pasta, wild arugula and fresh herbs."

This dish delivers and just barely overdoes the balsamic (not nearly as much as Ecopolitan overdoes their balsamic though.)

Delicate zucchini noodles are like angel hair...the herbs contained ample basil...the creamy sauce was indeed creamy.

Some of you recall Chef Andy's fateful experience in which he vowed never again to frequent the Lotus due to a snobby waiter's brush off ...

My tastebuds couldn't keep me away, allegiance divide or no, and by the time I had the pecan-vanilla-cacao cheezecake all was forgiven.

Forever.

Let's Get Personal, On Being A Princess, Help Me Fix the Attic ...

2011-10-11T16:23:00.000-04:00

Dear Reader,

I sense Rawprincess Studio blog going through a metamorphosis. It has been an easy blog for the past few years. I had previously been doing longer and more involved posts for my Listening For Change site. After some big family changes, I decided to pull back on my time commitment and just photo blog on my raw foods routine. Occasionally I'd do posts.

Meanwhile I've been on a women's email group with a format which propels my creativity!

You post your food plan for the day (or what you already ate.)
A gratitude list
A prayer
A thought for the day.

Things became rather interesting on this email and I ended up broadening my email group to others who message me saying they love it!

As a result, I'm finding it's time to share differently with the people I have in my life. It is time to move my daily gratitude list and prayers to Universe to my Rawprincess Studio blog.

It gets more personal sometimes. It gets a bit raw and real. *laughs* (That is, depending how brave I find myself that day. ~smiles~)

Nonetheless, here in blogsphere we realize you gotta do your thing and put it out there.

What gave me a clue? The following sentence was written in my draftbox a few days ago and has been left, neglected and hanging. It is what made me realize that the things I REALLY want to talk about, I've "stuffed" so NO MORE!

Absolutely all I want to discuss is how good apple, celery, ginger and lemon juice is. Especially with the vibrant green celery.

Apple, celery, lemon, ginger, garlic: Day 10 Juicing

That "absolutely-all-I-want-to-talk-about" sentence alerted me that there may be something amiss in my perception of what I'm supposed to be writing about! Yes, it's time to move forward. This blog is now integrating!

Here goes. I'm in Portland, Oregon, now and moved back here in February. I decided not to marry my Fiance. We were living in Minneapolis / St Paul. I had been with him for almost five years. This was a big step and I'm still getting used to it. If you can call getting used to loneliness a "habit".

But, what I'm getting at is the picture below of myself and my daughter is what it's all about. I just couldn't live long distance from them any longer knowing there is still over five more years for her to get through high school and just seeing her in the summer and holidays was not enough.

Now for the rude shock.

Since I've been back to Portland I hardly ever see my kids! Yes, and they live here! One of the reasons at first was I was working all the time and didn't have a car. Now I have a car but I'm still working all the time. I can afford to take SOME time off so now we come to the next creative challenge. I don't have much space!

Yes, BUT I am very excited about the potential at the place I live. It has an unfinished attic.

A client has graciously agreed to safety the flooring and finish some drywall installation. That should be happening over the next few weeks. That's step one.

I want to create a place where my two youngest kids can enjoy bringing friends over and hanging out.

I will keep my dehydrator running with cheezy kale chips and macadamia macaroons and chocolate chip Andy-doodles at all times so they will have delicious snacks of the raw vegan variety. I will create avocado chunks with Namu Shoyu (Zeke's favorite) and carrot juice.

And then of course, I WILL let them run down to the Goose Hollow promenade for a meal of their choice as well.

To Help: My just released ebook "Rawprincess Rituals and Rants" is a great read, packed with info on colon cleansing, the liver flush, believing in your body's natural healing process and my spiritual and creative musings. Your purchase will also help me fund my attic refurbishments.

Sophie and me at my Mom's this summer.

So, this post is the beginning of sharing in a more detailed, relaxed way on my Rawprincess Studio happenings. I live a raw vegan lifestyle. Today I am on day 12 of a juice protocol. It's almost considered a "feast" but I need to up my juice intake. It's been hovering around 2-3 quarts which hasn't been very energizing. I need to up it to at least four quarts. I hope to do that today. Or at least get set up for tomorrow to be so. I have a trip to the store I need to do.

My beautiful daughter Sophia, shown above, has designed the Rawprincess Studio and the Skylight Massage logos. I thank her for that. (shown below.)

Next you will see the entrance to Rawprincess Studio. My cool gnome always watches out for me on the porch. Here he has wandered to the sidewalk to see what all the fuss is about.

Entrance to Rawprincess Studio and Skylight Massage, Portland, OR

Rawprincess Studio is a place of my heart. I always thought I could never be a princess until recently I realized of course I can! So now I am a princess and it truly is a lot of fun!I realized we are goddesses and princesses and that's just the way it is. We ARE the sacred feminine. I'm in an online class right now with a spiritual evocateur and dear friend Namaste Moore. (Link is to her academy main site.) As usual I thought I'd heard it all and wasn't expecting much inspiration. Ha ha. Was I ever wrong.

You know how someone can just phrase something a certain way and it just goes bang! and opens up a dormant seed inside your heart? Well, something about the way she kept saying "You ARE the sacred feminine!!!" really got to me and it has delightfully touched me with the soothing fingers of the spirit for days now.

My self-care last night would not had happened if I had listened to the lonely recording in my head. "You're sad you need to go DO something!" Well, I actually was tired and I asked myself what would I do for me if I were completely in love with me in a good way and if I were completely going to just listen to my inner self and be present for myself. I ended up stopping at the drug store for a hot water bottle (for my hot abdominal castor oil packs see my ebook here.)

And I also got some epsom salts.

I don't usually get sore arms due to my high alkaline greeeens diet and regular exercise, but I DID get sore arms after lifting weights which I wasn't built up to yet. I guess grasping the free weight was what caused a bit of a sprain. At least that's what I think happened. It also could be I need more calories in general so I'm working on exploring that. I hope my chlorella tablets arrive today. It's been hard to be out of them for a week almost.

Anyways, I got the epsom for the soak and the hot water bottle (my other one popped, geez! who likes wet feet in the night? :-)) and went home.

Sure enough I was able to soak and then go to bed with my hot pack. I slept in this morning. I'm still puttering in my robe and need to shampoo my hair. I'm actually beginning to feel a little behind since I have--well, what do I mean a LITTLE behind or what do I mean ACTUALLY behind--yes I have a LOT to do.

But I find, also, that if I don't just take time to be human, to be the feminine, the princess, the girl and to play in my creativity, and to reach out for no particular reason, that the REST of my day feels like drudgery! The last thing I can bare is that drudgery. :-)

So I played my guitar. I'm continuing to practice a song that downloaded from the ethers. It's called "I Can Feel You Now" and soon to be shared on YouTube. That's on my to-do list, get a flipcam tripod/ stand so I can record myself singing and also share tips and recipes easily.

You'd think. I've had the flipcam since last Oct and it really is a must to have the stand for it.

Below please find the logo daughter did for Rawprincess Studio.

Sophie Ganschow 2009

I have some things about me that are a little unusual. I should have a sort of reference post describing my life structure but I don't. It will just be found randomly amongst my daily entries. I have a Protector. A friend who looks out for me since I've become single. If someone wishes to date me or spend time with me who has romantic intentions they need to contact Mr A.

Well, I happened to have had a very talented photographer contact Mr A and wanted to shoot me. Plus he expressed interest in me personally. I loved his images a LOT. And I also liked HIM.But when Mr A replied and asked for references, he backed out. And sent me a message containing some sentiments that a third party would mess things up.As you might imagine I felt devastated and had a big cry.

But Mr A had his theory about this and I saw the messages between the two of them. I don't think someone who had been serious about me would have been spooked off by that.Soon after the cry I was able to feel the support of the Universe / Mother and Father God. I knew that my best interest was at hand and that all would work out the way it's supposed to.

Yes, I would love to have gotten to know LE. Yes, I would have loved to have some exquisite photographs of me by LE. But alas, that is not to be.This or something better.

Have a very sweet day. Please gently add more plants to this day and take a moment to smile. It creates a hum, a singing in the silent ethers that we all get to suckle upon.

"Enjoy Hail Merry (r) snacks and know that you are Feeding Your Body Royally."

Ingredients:organic raw blue agave, almond flour, organic coconut butter, cashews, fresh lemon juice, organic palm sugar, organic cold-pressed coconut oil, organic shredded coconut, lemon juice powder, fresh orange juice, sea salt and lemon zest.

Serving Size is 1/3 tart. (I won't say how many servings I packed away in blissful ignorance.)

Each serving has 7 grams of fat.

The happy ending though, is still that the tarts are digestible. Even if I have no self-control.

I got my tarts on sale at Food Front Co-op 2375 NW Thurman, Portland, OR, where they are $4.39 each. That was about 40 cents off. Comes also in Chocolate which is very very good!

Why I'm excited ... and Scared ... about the 3rd International Juice Feast Day

2011-09-12T23:00:00.002-04:00

Do you notice how more and more friends, coworkers, relatives all have "health issues"?

Itseems now almost everyone has some condition which is complicatingtheir life. They are missing out on a normal life because of pain,upcoming surgeries, recovering from surgery. They are going back andforth to the doctors trying to find answers, being given this or thatmedication which often backfires or has weird side-affects. (Just watch aTV for a few minutes you'll see what I mean about side affects. Theside affects sound worse than the original condition.)

Now,isn't it good that if you got poisoned, broke a bone or had an urgentinfection you could take modern medicine and it would help you? Yes!

Now, isn't it bad that the other 98% of medical interventions are just plain moronic?

Iwon't mince words here. I'm sooooo glad that Dave the Raw Food Truckertook a juicer on the road while truck driving. Can you imagine thetruck stop where everyone else is slamming down the burger and frieswhile ONE of the obese truck drivers has his generator and is actuallyJUICING at the truck stop???

He starts to peel off the weight.

Let's back up here.

He is over 400 pounds at the time and on over 25 medications.He has colon cancer and diabetes, a pre-existing heart condition.

Well, what do you think of that. Someone like that is just hopeless, aren't they?

Should be.

By all practical accounts, that person IS hopeless. No hope for a better life. Doomed. I mean, diabetes is INCURABLE. That's just for starters. Where the hell do you go from here?

I've already mentioned he took his juicer on the road. A professional truck driver at a truck stop with a generator juicing vegetables.

I really want you to picture this.

I really want you to picture YOUR life right now. All the "horrible" obstacles in your way of having the health and the joy that YOU want in your life. I want us all, myself included, to really grock this, (understand) it. Wrap our brains, but also our minds around what Dave the Raw Trucker has done.

Because it is something within reach.

What he did is possible for the rest of the hopeless lot of us. LOL.

The heaviness, the oppressiveness which pretty much sits on us because of the way things are set up right now, particularly in the United States but it's easy to see it's a global mindset, means that there IS a true heaviness. It is true that there is hopelessness and things are difficult. There IS a struggle to create the life you want and the world you want. It is NOT easy.

But the fact is it CAN be done.

And if you look at Dave now, do you see how much better his health is? Do you not think it was difficult to discontinue addictive massive eating habits? I hear he ate upwards of three POUNDS of beef a day and a huge five pound hunk of Tillamook cheese at least each week.

I know how I feel when MY treat foods are taken away. Somebody could get hurt.

How about you?

So, yes, Dave walked through all the feelings of angst which I'm sure accompanied the change over to just juices. I haven't asked him about this, but hope to interview him about it in the future.

I imagine it felt pretty darn crappy a lot of the time. Especially at first.

My point is that within the hopeless there is hope. I know I feel hopeless sometimes, and maybe you or a loved one does too.

But the reason I'm so excited about the Third International Juice Feast Day is because it tells it like it is! And in droves! There will be story after (hopeless) story of turning around MAJOR health issues with juicing and a raw vegan lifestyle.

Dave says that he has well over 15 people who he feels have more dramatic recovery stories than his own. And he weighed 430 pounds. He was suffering from colon cancer, diabetes, heart disease, failing kidneys not to mention how do you tie your own shoes at that weight?

Misery!!!

If he had gone the traditional western medical route he would not be alive today. I can unabashedly proclaim that from the deepest recesses of my being.

He DECIDED with the help of two people who were students in his truck driving, to change course. The human spirit can be so dang frikkin' amazing. ~smiles~

And he did it.

He lost so much weight.

And this is NOT an infomercial. I'm here in my cheetah blankie having apple cider vinegar water listening to the trucks and cars roll by on Highway 26.

I'm suffering from aching bones and a pounding headache myself. I don't know how I'm paying my rent this month because I took time off work to be with my three kids and my mom. I went to the very important Raw & Living Spirit Retreat and was working on my first ebook ... I'm on day two of my own juicing and I may not continue it because of all the deep emotions it's bringing up for me.

I am writing in a sense from my very own foxhole. My own place of despair.

I am writing because even in my own brain fog, even in this sense of being a frog in a slowly warming pot of water, I KNOW I want to get out.

There may be radiation and nuclear fall-out all around us. There may be mercury bothering me from my teeth. There may be less oxygen on the planet as it decreases slowly from lack of trees. I don't know. Whatever it is STRESS is the common denominator.

And I know that within my own stress pit, I have to keep a sense of humor. I know that within my own stress pit I want to pole vault myself up and out of it. But why Cindy? Why do you want to do this, you might ask.

Well.

It's because of people.

It's because of Life on this beautiful blue star.

I've still got that spark. It might get a bit compromised at times.

But it's because of the Visionaries like Dave the Raw Trucker who turned his health around, turned his life around and now cares so much about others and getting the word out that he has formed a publishing company named just that, "Getting The Word Out Media" publishing.

It's because of the people I see who are trying and reaching out despite their own health challenges or weight challenges. They are sharing the truth about health.

I asked at the beginning of this onslaught (he he) if you notice more of your friends, family and / or coworkers are having health issues. And how tricky those issues seem to be? The medical system wants to diagnose each thing with some sort of different cause. They want it to seem like a person needs medications or surgeries and like their food choices have nothing to do with their health issues.

But I'm here to tell you they do.

And so is Dave and countless others.

A movement is building up so big and so powerful. It is like a green plant with the Disney Anastasia green faerie casting greenness in a dark dry land.

It is available to you and your friends and your family.

It may be too simple for you.

You may THRIVE on the doctor visits, being sick and putting your whole life on hold. Maybe you are ATTACHED to suffering???

If you're ready to step off the drama ride.

If you're ready to take responsibility for your own health.

If you're ready to DO something about being sick and tired and nearly dead ...

Then I'm telling you the opportunity is truly here!!!

There is absolutely NO reason to NOT get healthy. Yes, some may be lost and too far in the boiling pot of water to get out. But as long as there is breath in you, I believe there's a chance.

It could be depression. Same thing.

It could be "incurable" illness. Same thing.

Guess what? BRAIN CHEMISTRY is not rocket science folks. It changes without medications. It changes with exercise, diet and good pro-social bonds.

We can't immediately stop the bombardment of outside pollution issues such as chem trails, radioactive fall-out, cell tower emanations etc etc but we CAN change what we put in our mouths and we CAN take steps to off-set and somewhat protect ourselves from outside pollution.

But what this Third Annual Juice Feast Day is about is how to clean out the body from the assaults made on it by what we have put in our mouths as WELL as cleansing some of the toxins from the environment we've taken on over a lifetime.

And that's a MAJOR ticket to wellness.

It's a hand reaching out from the dark. Into the light. The light of your life.

Because you do have a light.

And you never know who might be really counting on YOU to show the way.

Yes, your success could end up helping many many others. Not to mention the vastly improved quality of life you could create for yourself.

Game?

Are you in?

Go now, right now and register for the Third Annual International Juice Feast Day. And make sure you let others know about it. But no matter what anyone says, if they don't believe it can help them or not, make sure you remember what Dave looked like when HE started out.

Do you think his friends would have believed him if he told him who he would become? Do you think his fellow truck drivers at the truck stop stood in awe and asked to join him? I highly doubt that.

BUT today his name is fast becoming a household word.

Why?

Let me show you.

L to R: Annette, Cindy, Dave the Raw Trucker, River, Tresa

This is Dave earlier this year surrounded by Juice Feast enthusiasts. Do you think he has changed? Look at his vitality and glow!

That's really what it's all about. What can really be enjoyed in life if you feel like crap?

And then, once you're feeling better, life REALLY starts to get interesting.

If you're not connecting with what I'm saying, please, try asking yourself, "What would I be doing with my time if I needed several hours LESS sleep each night due to a lighter diet?"

Because it is highly reported that raw and living foods eaters end up with way more energy and need less sleep.

Ask yourself, "What would I be doing with my time if I had about twice the energy and waaaay better health than I do now?"

Are there children or grandchildren in your life that you want to be there for? I know sometimes it's hard--if you are depressed and have a health condition--to tell that people really do want and need you! It's sometimes hard to tell in the midst of all your pain that you are worth saving!

I want you to reach for a strand of faith in yourself and that there IS / ARE people on this planet who need you to rejuvenate and turn your life around.

No one is going to do it for you or me. We have to look for support out there but ultimately it's a big decision to dump out the refrigerator and cupboard of all the boxes, cans, and packaged foods. Just throwing it out and going to the produce section of your local farmer's market or grocer is a huge step.

And one of the very fastest ways to make a huge turn around in how you feel is to try the juice feast. You still receive 1500 calories a day and your nutrient density is waaaaay more potent than eating solid foods because juice is so concentrated.

Some do this for a few days all the way up to 92 days and up.

I want you to go right now to UStream TV and set up an account so you can be logged in and ready for Noon to 5pm to get very very inspired. Be prepared to be very very inspired.

For the whole scoop and the line up of amazing speakers, over here.

Oh! And in my follow up post THURSDAY NIGHT I will tell you the part about why I'm scared! :-)

Chef Richard At Rose's Restaurant Supply ...

2011-08-29T15:41:00.000-04:00

We stop to pick up some truffle scoops before the Chocolate Mastery class since we had cancelled the class and decided on a party instead so he didn't bring his.

Two amazing persistent students demanded a private lesson and paid upwards for it, which for some reason prompted five more to sign up over the weekend at the Raw & Living Spirit Retreat ... Which makes for some very happy times at the Rawprincess Studio this morning! :-)

Rose's is in the industrial district off Water Street on SE Clay and SE 2nd Avenues.

Matcha For Cancer? What's Wrong With This Picture ...

2011-08-25T12:14:00.001-04:00

Can you tell which matcha was $88/lb (at Whole Foods) and which was $66/lb (at People's food)?

Incidentally, a colleague who beat breast cancer said her acupuncturist has her taking two rounded teaspoons a day of green matcha powder for the high antioxidant factors in preventing a recurrence.

The darker green powder is the People's Food matcha. Just $22 less per pound. Hmm.

As I approached Gabrielle in her kitchen at the organicland and garden in Oregon City and looked deeply into her eyes. I askedher what she thinks of Richard Hemsley's chocolate.

"He's a master."She smiled knowingly and looked away shyly.

"I like his better than myown actually, and I don't usually say that. He took the time andspent thousands of dollars on a mastery course. Most raw chocolatiershaven't bothered to do that. It means every batch turns out perfectevery time."

Open Letter to Kacper: Big Huge Hat Tip to Mr Matt Monarch

2011-08-13T14:57:00.007-04:00

Okay so here's the deal. The webinar link will likely go away soon due to the sensitive nature of the information and deep and potent transformative action ... soooo once that happens follow the Monarch link I've inserted as post script. (I've also included Kacper link via his name below) Bliss~cindy

Thank you Kacper,

I'm so glad these webinars are happening and Iappreciate so much your spirit of service to planetary healing andpersonal transformation.

I've been trying to explain to some ofmy most astute wellness friends about A.C. but due to timeconstraints and a general overall feebleness with ability to convey theinformation, I often failed in this regard.

Your webinars greatly illuminate the importance of A.C. and far-reaching implications.

Graci!~

Love,
cindy~

P.S. - Huge Hat-Tip to Matt Monarch for his selfless service to humanity.

Editors Note: Here is the "story" incidentally gleaned from many newsletters coming in. Author unknown.

A man (we'll call him Mr. S to preserve
his privacy) , was walking along the Sea
shore some 40 years ago.

He noticed something peculiar.

There was a huge tree growing out of a
rock on the sea shore, where nothing else
would normally grow.

Out of a rock next to the ocean. With 0
access to nutrients, minerals, and barely
any fresh water.

Tree's need a lot of nutrients and they
don't grow in desert conditions very well,
especially surrounded by salt water...

...so he wondered what on Earth was happening
to make this tree grow.

Logically... he assumed there must be something
up with this rock...

He spent the next few decades studying all
these "strange" rocks out of which plants
grew in the worst conditions.

What he found out was startling, and his
discovery is now starting to change the world.

He found earth's deepest cleansing secret,
which detoxifies and re-mineralizes water
and aids life on this planet like nothing else.

It's likely without this, our planet wouldn't
look the way it does.

It has the potential to turn cesspools into
"fountains of youth", reverse calcification,
and remove the deadliest poisons, like mercury
and fluoride, right out of your body.

Don't miss this, Kacper is taking it down soon:

Looking For You In All This?: A Recipe For That

2011-08-06T18:42:00.002-04:00

Yes, you are correct. This is your day to reclaim your rightful vigor. Greens in your bowl or blender or juicer.
If you're at all like me, I quickly feel the positive affects just moments after drinking a fresh green juice.
But when I consistently have at least two heads of greens perday (or more, of course) my energy and appearance really dramatically improve.
So, if you clicked looking for another recipe, I confess I'm gearing up to massively upgrade my recipe and blog posts here at Rawprincess Studio.
But if you're just looking for some inspiration, ease, and hope, then feast your eyes on a very simple green garden salad.
All I put on it was olive oil, lemon juice, It's Alive bulk seeds, nutritional yeast, sea salt and a bit of minced garlic and jalapeno.
Please do enjoy your plants at hand and toss in a bowl or blender or juicer. It all contributes to the very best YOU ever!

A Five-Star Day At Rawprincess: Plus, Creamy Mango-Crumb Cake

2011-08-05T01:47:00.002-04:00

Cindy Cummins, owner of Rawprincess Studios demonstrates Romaine Wraps for Grand Opening Guests July 30, 2011

Hey, we had a great open house at Rawprincess Studio / Skylight Massage. My new space is in the Goose Hollow neighborhood of downtown Portland, Oregon. It's just about 2/10 of a mile from the Sacajawea statue up at Washington Park. I love that she was the only woman, a Shoshone Indian, leading all white men to safety through the continent's wild. Sacagawea taught the men how to gather nuts, berries and other edible plants previously unknown to them. She did so much more to help that expedition. Did she have any choice?

I walk up there in the morning to take heart. It's women who have the power to heal our families with the foods we serve up. As we said a prayer together in blessing the Rawprincess Studio, I gently reminded us all the land we are standing upon is Native land and we must be grateful ...

The site I linked to above has info on how Sacajawea was captured and later sold into slavery or won in a bet. A brave woman who was strong in the face of what she must do.

To keep abreast of current berries, nuts and edible plants in banquet form, be sure you check out "LivingRawPDX" on meetup dot com and join so you can be notified of potlucks and suppers which happen all month long! I had my event listed here .

Some samples of reviews: Cindy's new space is so full of light and fresh air! She is a great Hostess, made yummy, easy food! And gave us massages too! THANKS!--Judith B.

Ani Phyo's recipe "Raspberry Fudge Ganache Cake" was relied upon from memory.

More review love: "The Open House was wonderful! Cindy treated us all with her gracious loving spirit, her culinary skills and her amazing healing hands. Love your new home and studio...it's unique and colorful and full of your grace! I hope we adequately blessed it." --Angela R.

People Are Texting & Tweeting About Zucchini Pesto in Oregonian's Food Day this Week!

2011-07-29T18:34:00.001-04:00

Zucchini Pesto Recipe "Fixed Up" from This Week's Food Day

Hmm, it seems the recent Food Day has raised a few raw-foodie eyebrows! I was at a table today chowing down with some hard cores who actually USED the latest recipe posted "Try zucchini pesto for change of pace" under Simply Affordable by Ivy Manning.

Yes, we were all packing it in at lunch today out at Thomas and Gabrielle Chavez's in Oregon City.

A friend had just texted one of the gnoshers, John, about it and asked if he could make a raw version of it and he said thought it would be pretty easy.

Turns out the actual meal we were eating came directly from the article. Gabrielle Chavez, author of The Raw Food Gourmet merely deleted the chicken (of course) and didn't cook the zucchini. Just blending it raw is amazing we all agreed. The only other difference was she soaked the raw almonds first and strained them before blending to activate their natural enzymatic activity.

Nuts have an enzyme inhibitor which must be soaked in order to deactivate, rendering them easily digestible.

Chavez also said the Food Day recipe called for one-to-one almonds and zucchini whereas she used more like two-to-one. "After all, the whole point is to use up zucchini." Spoken like a true gardener.

The Rawprincess twist would be to use cashew instead of almond, blending it well after soaking, until very creamy. Make sure to stick with the one-to-one proportions with the zucchini as in Mannning's rendition. (Affordability be damned.) ...

For some raw gourmet action of your own, don't miss the upcoming Raw And Living Spirit Retreat: the biggest party of the year!

Dr T's Day At Northwest Naturopathic Clinic

Dr T's lecture last night was given a 5-star rating at meetup.com.

My review:

Think! We all hung on every word of Dr T's findings and recommendations--you could hear a pin drop when he exposed GMO soy. Why ignore or compound such stuff as (he explained thoroughly) allergies, food sensitivities, or adverse food reactions. Proteinacious foods begone! (Or at least don't call them health foods and limit intake. ;))... PLUS he gave us some NOT well-known serious and IRREVERSIBLE problem prevention strategies regarding some common dietary mishaps. For me and at least a few others I spoke with afterward, leaky gut syndrome is a Big (capitol B) problem. When food particles and bacteria can enter the blood undigested and a state of inflammation is ongoing, we truly are susceptible to chronic degenerative disease ... His nutrient dense fast caught our attention and several of us whispered amongst ourselves that we'd be doing that. I will post (this week) on http://www.rawprincess.org/ Msg me for a mole removal consultation w. Dr T. Monday June 27. c.

Chocolate-Eclaire Snickerdoodle Cream Puff (Raw Vegan)

2011-06-18T23:42:00.003-04:00

Just when you thought my raw cookie dough was the best: Enter Raw Vegan Chocolate Eclair Snickerdoodle Cream Puffs.

I made a cacao filling by first grinding up some dried coconut, Brazil nuts and cashews.

I placed that in the food processor with cacao, maca, coconut oil, sea salt, agave and my favorite English Toffee stevia drops. Editors note: I did also add a bit of Erythritol

Once mixed set aside in fridge.

The frosting is just dates, agave, lots of sea salt, coconut & coconut oil w/ a few drops of water.

The bottom crust is just cashew, dried coconut and Brazil nuts milled together and pressed w/ a bit of agave and coconut oil. (I need to pick up some other agents of stickingness--possibly a coconut paste of some sort.)

Press your dry nut base into a desired shape. Press cacao into balls and push into center of crust.

Drizzle or scoop frosting on top to appear as Snickerdoodle. Then shake a garnish of cinnamon.

So do we agree never again to miss a cream puff or chocolate eclair?
Raw Vegan Decadence never had it so good.

Mango-Maca Balls, Reishi Fudge Brownies and Cheezy Kale Chips at The Jade Gate Studio

2011-06-13T04:06:00.002-04:00

I had the fun of showing off some Rawprincess Studio treats at a private event last night. I share the recipes here. Enjoyed by all were the kale chips, Mango-Maca Balls and Reishi Fudge Brownies--all raw and living vegan.

Cheezy Kale Chips

Blend
A bell pepper (red or orange)
several handfuls cashews or macadamia nuts
lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
nutritional yeast (a handful)
nama shoyu (a few splahes and to taste)
cayenne (optional)
fresh garlic (optional)

Massage into washed and patted dry kale leaves with largest part of stem removed.

Place on dehydrator sheets until crunchy. (About 2-3 hours.)

Mango-Maca Balls

Tear dried mango into small bite-size pieces and place in food processor
Hempseeds
Add raw trail mix (I used Trader Joe's)
dates
arithriol
agave
Sun Warrior protein powder (vanilla)
sea salt
vanilla extract
vanilla stevia

Process until balls form
Roll in orange zest

Reishi Fudge Brownies

Make frosting by blending an avocado with raw cacao powder, dates and agave and stevia drops with a pinch of sea salt. (I got the idea of using avocado for chocolate frosting from Ani Phyo).

Reserve in fridge.

Make brownies by processing:

coconut oil (firm) and agave nectar w/vanilla extract and English Toffee flavor stevia drops,
add trail mix
cacao (at least 3 heaping T)
sea salt
Possibly add some powder such as Sun Warrior or Vitamineral Earth
scoop of reishi (3 Immortals dry tea, actually)

Spread brownie mixture into glass pan.
Let chill.
Top with frosting.
Cut into squares.

Exploring the Earth Empress Beauty Cleanse At Rawprincess Studio!

2011-06-07T19:12:00.000-04:00

Yesterday I was frazzled. I'd stayed up too late for over four nights. I was beginning to lose all the hard work I've accomplished in creating poise, equanimity and "glow".

A wee bit dehydrated and recovering from frazzle! Day One-- Earth Empress's 21-Day Beauty Cleanse embarkment.

Sometimes being single is a challenge. Of many reasons, one is my previous Fiance used to tuck me in at night. I'd learned to relax and read after perhaps a hot luxurious lavendar bath, then take my tea into bed. I'd often wrap a heated herbal neck roll on my neck or even put a cosy hot water bottle at my toes.

What's happened?

Well, as many of you can imagine. All those rituals tend to remind me of him and even though I know moving back to Portland was the positive change my children needed, it STILL tends to be a sad thing to leave someone you have loved for four years!

Yes, I needed some guidance yesterday, knowing if I didn't get myself to catch up on some rest, I'd be doomed! Inbox: Shakaya Leone's special offer for her new 21-Day Beauty Cleanse. Not the rigid Detox my circle of friends and I are all so accustomed to. (I do it in my sleep. ;))

No, this Beauty Cleanse, in Shakaya Leone beauty-speak is for us Petals who deserve to slow down and embrace our wild woman-princess-queen-goddess selves and actually in so doing, attract More not less. And it's nourishing not starving. She points out that in a sense our rigid fasts are quite masculine and harsh.

I will blog about my journey using her luscious tools. I may even learn to address my dear readers as "Petal" or some similar lovely salutation soon under Ms Leone's tutelage.

I did get some rest last night and today (shown) have my greeeen smoothie extra green on the banana! More later. Here is the link to her Beauty Cleanse. It may still be on special until midnight tonight, can't recall. Either way it's a steal.

Blissings~

Green Smoothies In Africa!

2011-05-27T13:35:00.000-04:00

I feel this is so important that I've copied the letter from Victoria Boutenko in its entirety here. --cindy

From Kenya

Dear Friends.
I am sending you this newsletter from Kenya Africa.
Valya and I are witnessing a great health revolution here. Thousands of African adults and children are learning to grow organic greens and to eat them daily. Several churches are serving green smoothies on Sundays because most people don't have electricity at home.
It all started several years ago, when a Canadian couple, Dale and Linda Bolton, learned that 30 million orphans were starving in Africa. Dale and Linda realized that it was impossible to feed all these children. That is why they co-founded a non profit organization called, "Organics 4 Orphans." (www.organics4orphans.org) Five years ago, they started training African people to grow vegetables organically. They trained several experts in organic biodynamic gardening who continue to constantly train others. In four years, they have created over 120 huge gardens one of which is pictured below.

Every one of these gardens received organic seeds, tools, and training from Organic4Orphans. When it was necessary, this organization helped to drill a well and to repair houses. Each garden is cared for by 6-12 women.

Each of these groups of women takes care of up to 100 orphans ages 2-10. Together they grow predominantly green vegetables.

Last year Dale contacted me asking for help. "How can we inspire the growers to eat their own greens?" he asked. Their organization had taught Africans to grow delicious greens, but they had a hard time teaching them to actually consume those crops. Valya and I decided to fly to Africa. I wrote a letter to the president of Vitamix Corporation and told him about this project. In response, Vitamix generously donated six blenders for this project. Three weeks ago, Valya and I arrived in Kenya and began teaching. Every day we visited numerous farms, schools, and churches.

We met with several African people who reversed many illnesses by simply adding lots of fresh greens to their meals. We asked these people to come and share their stories in front of large audiences. The six blenders became handy. Each time we brought enough smoothies for hundreds of people to taste.

In addition we washed greens and passed them out to our audience. I have never seen anyone munching greens with such positive enthusiasm. When Valya and I teach, our listeners are very attentive and ask lots of questions. Several students from Zambia, Zimbabwe, Congo, and other countries came to study with us.
We are greatly inspired by what we see in Kenya. We hope that this great African healing with greens will bring health to many other countries including North America.

Valya is videotaping our activities. Just wait until we return back home, and she will put together several short videos for you to watch on youtube. Greens are ending poverty and hunger in Africa, and Africa is inspiring the rest of the world to become healthy the natural way.

Raw Vegan Cookie Dough Fix

2011-05-26T03:03:00.001-04:00

Some serious comfort food here for those nights nothing else will do.

Mix dry ingredients. Cut in cold coconut oil adding stevia drops and agave at the end.

Hempseed (freshly mill)
MacaForce (Healthforce)
Stevia (English Toffee anyone?)
Agave
Coconut Oil
Sea Salt

I don't mean to be a bad influence on you, but when I remember the standard American cookie dough, I realize how helpful this is!

Easy Un-Chicken Soup (Raw Vegan)

2011-05-21T01:52:00.001-04:00

Anti-Radiation Foods

Place in bowl:

1-2 Tblspns *Sea Clear
1-2 Tblspns Healthforce non-GMO lecithin powder
1-2 Tblspns lg flake nutritional yeast (optional, found in bulk)

Stir in a little cool water to dissolve then add hot water to desired temp w/ care.

It's my unchicken soup.

Got the idea after Angela of www.rawreform.com said on TV show that the Sea Clear w/ the lecithin pwdr creates the taste impression that Cheeze Whiz used to. (If you hated Cheeze Whiz never fear it's so much better than that anyways.)

Use the above as a soup base and create endless tangy soup delights by adding such yummables as apple cider vinegar, cayenne powder, or a new raw hot sauce series found now at TheRawFoodWorld store. (Pls be kind and click through on right sidebar here.)

*Sea Clear is fermented kelp & chlorella in a miso base. Also click through for that. Thank you. Enjoy.

PS-Angela Stokes-Monarch often enjoys her Sea Clear & lecithin on cucumbers stuffed into Nori rolls. ;)

Kava Kava Night Cap: Get Your Zzzzz's On Super Tasty Not 'Superfoody'

Posted: Thu, 12 May 2011 06:59:00 +0000

I said to myself, "Make something delicious and not too superfoody."Water (about 12oz.)
3 T hempseed
3 T soaked chia gel
1 T Vitamineralearth
1 T Non-GMO Lecithin pwdr
1 T coconut oil
1 tsp Kava Kava pwdr
1 big drizzle agave nectar
1 dropper English Toffee Stevia
pinch Celtic sea salt
Blend until frothy.
Enjoy with a hot cup of plain 3 Immortals Reishi tea on the side.
This tastes like a delicious rich shake to me. No superfoody issue here.

Chow Time in My New Kitchen & a Recipe www.rawprincess.org

2011-05-03T00:58:00.001-04:00

Tangy. Filling. Yet Light. (Did I say delicious?)

Tangy Carrot-Ginger Soup (contains soy)

Blend:
Handful carrots,
a chunk of fresh ginger root, peeled
2-3 fresh garlic cloves
half an avocado
2-3 rounded Ts raw miso
nice splashes of olive oil
a little nutritional yeast
pinch sea salt & cayenne pepper if desired.

This blends into a rich, creamy soup for the rawprincess in you. ;) Add hot water at the end for a warm soup.

Top with abundant dulse leaves.

Banana Ice Cream With Maca Fudgie Sprinkle-Candies

2011-04-30T02:41:00.001-04:00

Frozen bananas simply blended to cream w/ a bit of optional stevia vanilla drops. You'll never miss the dairy! (Especially not the after-affects. Okay, I'll join in the trend to call it cow pus. Radical, huh?)

Make your raw cacao and maca candies ahead of time and have them waiting in glass jars in freezer for a night like this!

No cow pus ice cream. I know it's more graphic than the delicate rawprincess mostly cares to be, but it really helped me see the realities of dairy (pus is allowable in alarming "parts per million" by FDA) so there you have it! Is it a judgment? No. A discernment. Yuck.

I-Haven't-Shown-You-BabyFood-Pictures-Lately Green Soup

2011-04-16T16:28:00.002-04:00

I think to make the lifestyle change, to make this work, you really do need to use what you have onhand in the fridge.
You really do need to, I think, ask yourself, "What's going to be easiest to digest and the most full of greens and life force right now for my next meal?"
Because at first you will be all over the place having many combinations with nuts, seeds, fats and sweets.
But there will come the time when you are really ready to step away from all that and get very simple.
It's the time when your body can then tackle all it has harbored. It will begin to rest but also hit the subtle stuff. And you will wonder if anything is happening at all.
But it is. Just watch!
This is kale and romaine blended with a bit of water olive oil a chunk of lemon and some goraw sunnies.
Dash some habanero if you like.

There's Nothing Quite Like An Evening '3 Immortals' Latte

2011-04-16T03:44:00.002-04:00

... warmed not cooked. Here I use what I had onhand deliciously: blended goraw.com's sunflower seeds (sprouted, then dehydrated). I strained that then the fun began.
2 wooden scoops 3 Immortals Tea
1 Tblspn MacaForce
11 drops Vanilla-Creme Stevia
A spoon of raw creamy honey
A few end-of-bottle drops of flax oil.
The sunnies have a bit of sea salt which I like a lot for that Reesie's feel.
As you might guess I was up for the sweet tonight, not always so sweet.
My affiliate link on the right will lead you to the Raw Food World Store for the 3 Immortals Tea and most of the other ingredients I used.
I blend it all cold & concentrated first (after straining my initial seed cream), then simply add boiling water slowly to bring my frothy latte up to heat w/out cooking.
Incidentally, 3 Immortals is comprised of Reishi, Shilajit and Ormus--thought to increase one's spiritual faculties and powers of longevity.
Frothy goodness to the very last drop.
Use any seed or nut for cream.

It's A Greeeen Morning doodoodoodoot

2011-04-15T10:40:00.001-04:00

Pictured here: Head of celery, 2 Granny Smith apples, a chunk of fresh ginger root and half a lemon juiced in my Omega Vert.

With my commute time less than half in my new place (I'm in Goose Hollow, a quieter part of downtown Portland, nestled up to the hills of Washington & Forest Park) I'm enjoying more juice-time, time on ny yoga mat and foam roller, time soaking in a hot bathtub filled with essential oils. I also like to sing, dance and write memoirs so the greeeen juice and raw vegan lifestyle really give me lots of energy to do all that.

And I've also developed an uncanny ability to run to the bus stop however far away, laden with laptop and journals, packs of superfoods notwithstanding.

My-Mouth's-Watering-So-Bad-I-Can-Hardly-Take-The-Picture Kale Attack 'Popcorn'

2011-04-15T02:39:00.001-04:00

You have got to understand how crazy good kale is.

And how it is the key to freedom from cravings for packaged snacks.

Take & tear or chop into popcorn-size shape the brightest, freshest most vibrant kale you can find and rub a little avocado and/ olive oil on it. Here, I've then added chopped red pepper and dried jackfruit, goraw.com's sunnies, a few drops of Vital Heat (Habanero & Turmeric), nutritional yeast & sea salt plus miso paste.

This creates texture and richness I used to like in popcorn soaked in butter without the regret tomorrow.

It's a great occasional late night snack.

I've wrapped some of it in Nori and romaine but mostly just pick at it with my fingers like popcorn.

Hey, it's my Friday.

For Anyone Who Is Curious About What I'm Doing Right Now :)

Cindy Signature Salad (and Dressing)

2011-03-05T14:42:00.001-05:00

If this helps someone new to create an easy routine for munchable veggie salads I'm thrilled!

You want creamy, you want fat, you want salty (without the chemical sodium chloride) you want some tang and spice?

Find that and more (read: health & weight managing benefits) in a few key principles which you will learn are interchangeable and rotate-able.

Today I grated cabbages and carrots; small-diced avocado and cucumber; thinly sliced some red bell pepper, then (optional) minced garlic. (Think kaleidescope.)

Begin by drizzling cold-pressed oils (I used flax & olive). Getcher "creamy" on w/ nutritional yeast flakes (bulk sections of large grocery stores). Spoon out a bit of almond butter as well as a nice dollop of aged-raw unpasteurized miso paste. You will be using a fork to mash the miso and almond butter together then tossing it all ...

Remember the tang & the bite!

Apple cider vinegar (again raw, unpasteurized w/ "the mother") pinch of cayenne to taste / sea salt.

Voila!

I'm guessing this was a first for SushiTown. In all their years open ...

2011-02-23T18:55:00.001-05:00

Half an avocado, no crab. And orange slices, please.

Sweet Morning Uncereal

2011-02-11T20:53:00.001-05:00

Did you ever used to have just a white rice and milk/sugar meal?

It was for simplicity, ease, comfort and budget constraints all rolled up into one yummy bowl? (Plus the kids liked it).

Now you can make a simple raw vegan version of the ricey-bowl. Also reminiscent of the morning box cereal fest.

Sliced banana.

Top with fresh almond mylk.

(Soak almonds overnight. Rinse, blend and strain through nut mylk bag. Reblend mylk w/stevia and dates and agave if desired.)

Sprinkle a spoonful of maca, ground brazil nuts, chopped dates, cinnamon and more agave on top to taste. Serve.

More about Best of Raw ...
At Best of Raw, we are helping our planet shift to a more raw plant based diet is an extremely important endeavor, one of the most important endeavors of our time. While many are going all raw vegan, which is totally rawsome, many people are taking a more gradual approach and simply adding more raw plant foods to their diet. This is a great step forward for our planet!Add more raw plant foods! This is our motto for the mainstream of people who are seeking greater health and coming to an awareness of our ecological crises. Little by little as people begin to feel better and see the difference in their own lives
The health of individuals and the health of our planetary ecosystems depends on us adopting a plant based diet for many, many reasons. The vast resources it takes to raise and consume animal products are exacting an unrelenting toll on the ecosystems of our planet and the health of our people. (Look forward to more documentation of research on these facts coming soon to Best of Raw and the Raw Plant Nutrition Alliance.)

Key To Getting Your Butt In Gear: Wear the Crystals NOW! ;)

Little Grandmothers Urgent Advice on QUARTZ Crystals

Mother Earth is awakening.. much is being done in the coming days and we must unite each other in love and to Gaia Beloved Mother.. this is important dear family and I will write extensively on this very soon. But please gather yourselves a piece of quartz crystal and wear it around your neck. It is time to reconnect ourselves to Mother..

A small piece of quartz crystal on a simple leather twine or another natural necklace.. it doesn't have to be big, it can be small.. place it around your neck, place them on your children, on your loved ones. The energy of Mother is being reclaimed by the loving human being and her crystals, her heart and her link to our own energy is being renewed... this is more important than i can express here.. but do this my family.. and wear it day and night.. There will be more explained at a later date.. but it is time for us to do this now not later. Gather together yourselves and wear once again the crystals that unite us with the Mother Energy of our planet.

Before you place them around your neck hold the crystal in your hands and pray with all of your heart.. all of your goodness all of your Great I AM to connect us the human race in love to the crystals of Mother Earth and Her love, her intentions and Her Conciousness!

Holiday Junk-Food Slip-Up? Make Your Next Bite Raw! ;)

2010-12-18T20:49:00.009-05:00

Even if you got off-track earlier today when friends or co-workers caught you during a weak moment and you put some sugar or junk down the pie-hole, you can STILL salvage the day and make your NEXT BITE real and raw.

Put that slip-up behind you with this raw goji-cacao torte topped with frozen organic blueberries!

In my teenage years , if I got off-track with my food, I'd hate myself and fast for days. This merely worsened my cravings and issues. I've learned to quickly plan and carry out a favorite raw foods meal after a mishapped mouthful and ignore the inner critic who insists I'll just gain weight.

Nope, best to adjust those taste buds and REMEMBER clearly how fresh and delicious my favorite salad or cacao dishes are.

This seems to calm me down and gear me up for the possible digestive repercussions ahead from my error.

It also stops a potential cycle of yo-yo dieting or a binge-purge trap.

Don't forget the peppermint tea!

(P.S. You can wait several hours after a food blunder to settle your tummy, of course, just make your next bite raw and yummy bliss! ;))

Cacao Torte Topped w/Organic Frozen Blueberries

1/4c coconut oil, gently melted in double boiler
3 rounded T. raw cacao powder
2 T goji berry extract powder (Natural Zing)
1 mill freshly ground sunflower seeds
1/2 mill freshly ground sesame seeds
1-2 T freshly ground flax seeds
pinches of sea salt
dash of cinnamon
dark chocolate extract (at cost thru Dec) use code HONEYMOON for extra 7% off at chkout Vanilla creme stevia drops
coconut sap
raw honey

Whisk cacao powder into the gently melted coconut oil (low heat).
In a bowl, mix ground seeds with remaining dry ingredients.

Stir and whisk the melted cacao mixture into the dry mixture. Add your honeys, sap and extract drops to taste.

Mold into torte shapes or just place a nice scoop in bowl like I do ;).

Top with lots of frozen blueberries which will harden the torte nicely.

Serve with hot herbal tea. Soooo good you'll turn down the SAD treats next time!! ;)

Awaken From Holidaze: Juice Feasting, Raw Emotions Meetup, Why You Need To "Stand Your Ground!" --Matt Monarch

2010-11-23T18:11:00.008-05:00

This was crossposted to my friends in iVault4--a room in the RawFoodRehab.com "Mansion" edited a bit for clarity.

My Juice Feast Starts Here!

Four years ago yesterday Angela-Stokes Monarch began her 92-day juice feast--we are all so blessed for her leadership and courage--and it just turned out that I had worked myself into a juice feast and my new VERT (!! yes Vert!) juicer arrived yesterday (the 20th) as well. ;)

Raw Emotions Support Group in Minnesota!

I also just opened up a local meetup group for studying Raw Emotions (Angela's book by that name) in my home and already a dozen people have joined. Our first meeting is Dec 8. (BTW, she announced it on her blog, so cool ~!~ here)

I've been struggling for the past 30 days with yoyo eating and I know it has been fear-based. I'm ready to face some of the physical changes that began as my raw journey has been very consistent for over two years now (and high raw with all raw and significant juice fasts/colon cleanses for over 30 years).

When we peel back the layers there's sometimes surprises underneath the sludge (metaphorical and literal) as it releases. I won't go into detail here, don't mean to be dramatic or mysterious let's just say some obstructions have deep-seated emotional holding.

I hit one of those places during my last juicing and cleansing interval just about a month ago and ran the other direction.

A recent quote I came across struck me and helped me not take this information on rejuvenation for granted. At times it's been easy for me to think, "Well, I rejuvenated once, I can always hurt my body with these non-foods then go back to healing afterward."

But last night, reading my new copy of Matt Monarch's e-version of Raw Success ... He goes into detail about how the cells of our body begin shrinking with a raw foods diet, a clean diet. Because they have been stretched out with gasses from the way the body protects when we put essentially poisons into our systems.

He astutely outlines that as our body's cells protect us from processed foods of a standard American diet they enlarge and hold gases and liquid/fat. Having done bodywork as much as I have as a Polarity Therapist of Dr Randolph Stone's instruction, I totally tune in to how we assist our clients to release cellular gaseous toxins through bodywork. ...

But Matt went on to say, as our cells detoxify, they keep shrinking and toxic gasses are released and our cells tighten and become younger ...etc but then he used a rubber band analogy. A rubber band will stretch out and snap back but after a while loses its elasticity.

When I read those words (paraphrase) : A rubber band will stretch out and snap back but after a while loses its elasticity.

I realized in that moment that I will not continue doing that to my cells anymore. It's a great visual.

Stand Your Ground This Holiday Season

Something else Matt said struck me in a recent (two days ago?) Rawfoodworld tv show. He and his wife Angela were talking about the holidays. (I've embedded it at the bottom of the page for you.)

He looked right at the camera and said, "Stand your ground."

It was good to see how clearly and fiercely, yet lovingly he meant it.

He asked, "If all your friends were smoking cigarettes would you smoke too just to be around them?"

I'm embarking on a juice feast which I learned from the Juice Feasting Handbook by Angela that she herself did it through the major holidays Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years and Valentines Day.

Mistakes Past Are Lovingly Released ...

I just can't do another year, won't do another year of plodding along, making raw feasts and overeating or nibbling and compulsively taking a piece or more of what the rest of the family is having, then gaining weight (etc.) and feeling kinda hopeless actually.

Doesn't have to be that way.

I can stand my ground in a quiet, humble way and as I become so completely resourced and calm (already feel it after two days of smoothies and juices and then Saturday all juice.) I'm able to be loving and centered and when I'm overeating or finding obsessions with food in my forethoughts, I'm not so able to do that.

I plan to work through Raw Emotions with some local people who will come to my house.

I am going to dig in and do the emotional work with the working tools of Raw Emotions as I Juice Feast. I also like the book "The Fasting Path" it has a lot of insights. The only thing that kind of pushed my buttons about it was author Stephen Buhner really downplays colon cleansing. He makes a great, a fantastic point that colon cleansing is not because we are "bad" and trying to purge ourselves of some self-dislike or to become "pure" like from a low self-esteem place.

But he really does act as though colon cleansing is not helpful and in our world condition presently I totally feel if you're going to go 100% raw or cleanse on juices you really do need to make sure not to autointoxicate.

Steeping in one's own toxins is not a pleasant thing.

But other than that pet peeve, I love his book.
