The hero is sent on a government study into the arctic to study wolves - alone. It is a story of one person's solitary hero's journey of the call to adventure, trials, self-discovery, and finding perennial truths that society has forgotten. </span></span><br /><p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The Hero's Journey is a going out, and a return, and during the talk I spliced in excerpts from <em>Never Cry Wolf</em> - the movie - to illustrate this path. I highly recommend both the short book and the beautiful film in building a knowledge and a <em>felt-sense</em><em> of what the Hero's Journey is</em>.<br /></span></span><strong></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:medium;">If you are working to transform your life, you are on The Hero's Journey!!</span></span></strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:medium;"> I have dedicated a whole Day of JuiceFeasting.com to this important mental / emotional / spiritual aspect of Juice Feasting and life transformation. </span><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="font-size:medium;">I have a 50-minute talk on The Hero's Journey on that day, complete with an interview with Angela Stokes about her 92-Day Juice Feast. </span></span></strong></span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;">Members can find this excellent Day here: </span><a href="http://www.juicefeasting.com/92DayProgram/Days610/Day9TheHerosJourney/tabid/83/Default.aspx"><span style="font-size:medium;">Day 9: The Hero's Journey</span></a><span style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;">You will also find a talk by Joseph Cambell on The Hero's Journey on Day 9, as well, along with a whole file I have created for you to download and enjoy. </span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">(If you are not a member of JuiceFeasting.com. you can sign up now and receive access to the entire 92-Day Program, with <em>92 Days</em> of important files, videos, articles, information and inspiration to spur you on in your own Hero's Journey!!!)</span></span><span style="font-size:medium;"><br /></span><strong></strong></p><p><strong><span style="font-size:medium;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">WHAT IS THE GREAT STORY OF MY LIFE?</span></span></strong><br /></p><p><span style="font-size:medium;">The great psychologist Carl Jung asked himself, "What is the myth I am living by?"

Long time coming as in we've been wanting to come down for a visit ever since a friend of ours told us he was buying land down here in late 2007, and very swift as in deciding to come one week and flying down here the next!<br /><br />We had everything in storage accept what we needed for daily living, we didn't have a lease or mortgage to maintain, we have very good friends who live here and who just happened to have a guest house where we could stay while we got situated, we were set! All that was left was to buy a ticket, and so we went for it.<br /><br />Just half a week after arriving here, we moved into a beautiful little house tucked into a garden, right next door to our dear friends and are feeling very blessed to be here.<br /><br />But, phew, what a ride the past year has been! We have been on a whirlwind tour of free-style daydreaming and the pursuit of so many different possibilities it makes my head spin! Little Sophia, who is not even two yet, has already lived in 5 different houses (if you count our tent-home of last summer as a house!) and David and I have toyed with the idea of at least 10 more. You would think we were out to break a record! Now we are off on yet another adventure.<br /><br />We are here until mid-September at the earliest, gently exploring and staying open to where life will take us.<br /><br />Each day it feels easier and easier to be here, the sharpness of so suddenly adjusting to a new place is slowly wearing off as we build community and explore the land surrounding us.<br /><br />I'll leave you with a few pictures, and for more you can always check out our <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rainoshek/sets/72157626290720895/">Flickr</a> site!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFZrMVfhVez-PPZUNNf_3e7pGcmC9xoDpDRUsgBtS37U5t5w7Qi-kdisQL0hE2GfXiK1J9Ann0qLX_scmN3ZUDlheGeo_aWPrbXKxvTTl1M9c6xpUUqSij4YdfxoW8XzituIyKz0V7E5A/s1600/IMG_0947.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioFZrMVfhVez-PPZUNNf_3e7pGcmC9xoDpDRUsgBtS37U5t5w7Qi-kdisQL0hE2GfXiK1J9Ann0qLX_scmN3ZUDlheGeo_aWPrbXKxvTTl1M9c6xpUUqSij4YdfxoW8XzituIyKz0V7E5A/s400/IMG_0947.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595096519338822866" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYQzxA9YC-v0IWCRnUSTgBg20T6GYI5liuB73uWUeVwf7NIwx5Q83R3yN5LrsUPMu8n1A5YGyQ6NWOLb8vN1XhlmKWC5sPNTPLfNxsNEUZI3jdboBbk2hoUvVm3Ew0N0irCSd7P0TDblcv/s1600/IMG_0965.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYQzxA9YC-v0IWCRnUSTgBg20T6GYI5liuB73uWUeVwf7NIwx5Q83R3yN5LrsUPMu8n1A5YGyQ6NWOLb8vN1XhlmKWC5sPNTPLfNxsNEUZI3jdboBbk2hoUvVm3Ew0N0irCSd7P0TDblcv/s400/IMG_0965.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595096523876093970" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;"></span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgenU2awMdFwgXujmjjDMH_lBX9slYIvz4nN0WsBLi1if4JQIIesqZ7AgycffEBlu8law7_9PPFw5CVJ-mI4cLZAim-Hxdy184958i5JmqRLerc4EY0gfWb5wIxong3WYMqwbwg2oDSF8YH/s1600/IMG_0993.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgenU2awMdFwgXujmjjDMH_lBX9slYIvz4nN0WsBLi1if4JQIIesqZ7AgycffEBlu8law7_9PPFw5CVJ-mI4cLZAim-Hxdy184958i5JmqRLerc4EY0gfWb5wIxong3WYMqwbwg2oDSF8YH/s400/IMG_0993.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595096529386003202" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggP91V3jwNI-cxpIzYePrE3T0VVtnd_3FFzA3hhmBcw1YHx3AbDIfH_0ioRRsDVwqZMt3cI9Fc6Hhxy8eNKbS-6Qvb8nO-NCDay7_pupascTbdozPRjEDezj-DQnPP_t3Js-HzcvRPyZCV/s1600/IMG_1175.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggP91V3jwNI-cxpIzYePrE3T0VVtnd_3FFzA3hhmBcw1YHx3AbDIfH_0ioRRsDVwqZMt3cI9Fc6Hhxy8eNKbS-6Qvb8nO-NCDay7_pupascTbdozPRjEDezj-DQnPP_t3Js-HzcvRPyZCV/s400/IMG_1175.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595096534115577618" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Baby Rain Dancing in the Rain.</span><br /><br />Oh, and I had the most crazy amazing juice yesterday morning.

I can certainly vouch for her views on probiotics and fermented foods, as I've been eating some form of sauerkraut almost every day and am thrilled with the happy digestive tract that I have right now.

Day #6</span><br /><br />"Yesterday I was very much enjoying and deeply appreciating the arrival of the longed-for <span style="font-weight: bold;">sensation of peace and relaxation that Juice Feasting brings </span> ... one of its greatest gifts. I've done many Juice Feasts, some long, many short, and this is the first time I am consistently incorporating an easy and effortless daily meditation and deep breathing, and <span style="text-decoration: underline;">what a difference this makes</span>. It is a <em><span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 128);"><strong>boost into the stratosphere</strong></span></em> of feeling wonderfully empowered about life, bringing a peaceful feeling that anything and everything one desires can be manifested via focused attention and allowing. <span style="font-weight: bold;">I love how Juice Feasting facilitates new thoughts, sweeping away the limitations of yesterday, and building a momentum of positivity that grows day by day</span>."<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC2E7u4i6NuqLSinMenRRvJgDjGk2tWruOW33pwM9o66w-UBW6AaMtSYX0xhpatPabrMSX55g95q5ZXpY8VQcU72a3EQR4IAa6YDY8v6Qa8ZcMCT_2lF3yRLyMWzUAkOzTzkQPBIgEYlv_/s1600/kyra62008.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 64px; height: 64px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC2E7u4i6NuqLSinMenRRvJgDjGk2tWruOW33pwM9o66w-UBW6AaMtSYX0xhpatPabrMSX55g95q5ZXpY8VQcU72a3EQR4IAa6YDY8v6Qa8ZcMCT_2lF3yRLyMWzUAkOzTzkQPBIgEYlv_/s400/kyra62008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566667713045738114" border="0" /></a>~Kyra<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Beautifully in line with what we hope for all those Juice Feasting: an awakening into possibility and a loving boost in personal growth!<br /><br />And, just for fun, some smoothie pictures with the little one!<br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib6_E2FEk1GfJEmeAkyEJv9QneOqiTtT01vNF9xjR_KL4NBv5dE4Ir1YFUfOzDe7JySV3-WNqLg_QthNtSVBwfLE4nKsm6cd7BmlK7sbFwCVZ5iBrMZx9N7p1NlXHCh1zvVlJzxKmblEnD/s1600/IMG_9687.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib6_E2FEk1GfJEmeAkyEJv9QneOqiTtT01vNF9xjR_KL4NBv5dE4Ir1YFUfOzDe7JySV3-WNqLg_QthNtSVBwfLE4nKsm6cd7BmlK7sbFwCVZ5iBrMZx9N7p1NlXHCh1zvVlJzxKmblEnD/s400/IMG_9687.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566667717737427026" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Snowdrop and smoothie and little one dancing, waiting for her lunch.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit6t_imla8IG4SifXW02ZQT8TFkG7ESYvScUuI2x1swK0LiwEfR5EswIOK8eXM-dYD8dZ4ZqqF1w5d1Sy_fDC_VDjq-9teN-cCSqzuw1Egh5Xh12IXM7wh1sVQZpaXSJWaUwzhF_1tCdeh/s1600/IMG_9695.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit6t_imla8IG4SifXW02ZQT8TFkG7ESYvScUuI2x1swK0LiwEfR5EswIOK8eXM-dYD8dZ4ZqqF1w5d1Sy_fDC_VDjq-9teN-cCSqzuw1Egh5Xh12IXM7wh1sVQZpaXSJWaUwzhF_1tCdeh/s400/IMG_9695.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5566667726439176690" border="0" /></a><span style="font-style: italic;">Serious smoothie drinking.

I am thriving on living with the impromptu community that has assembled in this old family house. Currently under one roof: six adults, a 12 year old, and a 1 1/2 year old.<br /></div><br />To add to that, 3 of the adults are men working from home, and 2 of the adults are moms with kids/babies at home. Very busy house!<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />We are all in transition, between phases, on the move, and we have all come to rest temporarily together. Believe it or not, it is working out beautifully.<br /><br />AND, one of the adults living in this old house right now is my beautiful sister of <a style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);" href="http://cafebliss.ca/">Cafe Bliss!</a><span style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);"> </span>The cafe has been a popular destination for all of us, a good home away from home when a little more space is needed.<br /><br />And hey, it doesn't hurt that we get served the best food ever!

I'm a sucker for a good Juice Feasting story, and I get to hear lots of them when there is a Feast going on.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">While David treats his client's privacy with great respect, I have the honor and joy of sharing in some of the most amazing stories of personal development with him at the end of each day. We both share so much reverence for people's never ending journeys towards self actualization. It seems at times that there is so much to overcome and yet people persevere and move above and beyond even the most debilitating illness, hurt, loss, and trauma.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">You are all superstars, every single one of you!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Something that comes up again and again for people who Juice Feast is a much deeper awareness of the body/mind connection. When you take the junk (food) out of your body, the mind really does become strong and clear. Life is much easier to navigate and more readily enjoyed with a mind that is strong and clear! Once this is an awareness that you have cultivated, it becomes much easier as well to choose to put the foods in your body that help to build a mind worth living with!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" class="body" >To keep the body in good health is a duty... otherwise we shall not be able to keep our mind strong and clear.</span><span style="font-family:arial;"> </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" class="bodybold" > </span><span style="font-style: italic;font-family:arial;" class="bodybold" ><span style="font-style: italic;">~Buddha</span></span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" class="bodybold" ><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">I loved this email, which exemplifies the mind/body connection beautifully, from one of David's students. (Used here with permission):</span><br /><br /><i style="font-family: arial;">"An observation:</i><span style="font-family:arial;"> When I was out shopping for a few things for my family, I had a very different experience in the grocery store. I noticed faces more, or well, in a different way. I often notice faces...details of faces. I seemed more connected to the people who had those faces. More connected to their conversations. Last night when I was holding a bell pepper in my hands and was about to tear it apart for my juice prep, I was slightly saddened to be tearing it apart...like it was a being, and had its own being-ness. I thanked it, and was just struck by this never-before felt connection with a bell pepper. Yesterday I was looking at the dashboard of my car and noticing many details of how the designers made elements smoothly transition together, how the door lock-unlock tab looked smooth and well balanced (design-wise) when it was locked and unlocked. </span><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;" ><br /><br />Hey, if this cleansing feast allows me access to these things, and if I can learn how to access these states...awesome! It's worth my whole life just in the knowing how to connect.</span><div style="font-family: arial;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: arial;"> <i>And one more observation: </i>While at the grocery store I noticed that I was able to easily slip into a quiet-mind place. Just naturally able to be there, taking in the colors of the labels of soups stacked on the shelves -- could focus in to view more specifics or adjust out to partake of the mosaic rainbow. I could have a quiet mind and walk and watch/listen ... and it was quite delightful!<br /></div><div style="font-family: arial;"><br /></div><div style="font-weight: bold;font-family:arial;">Have a great night! Look forward to whatever shows up between now and our chat. I really do appreciate your guided mentoring of this process.

To be honest, I had no idea what I was getting myself into but my original intent was to nourish my body, lose a few pounds, get my blood pressure and cholesterol in check and balance my life – everything in my life was out of balance, I needed help. I'm a wife, a Mom to 2 small boys, employed in the high tech industry - I was wiped out and checking out of my life.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The first 30 days, I felt like a sleeping child whose Mom gently woke them up every morning – David prodded me - get up, it's time to wake up. Wake up? Where are we going today? I’m tired, I’m really tired. Wake up! Where do you need to go? Somewhere else. I was overwhelmed and eager to learn and do and change all at the same time. I learned how to meditate, big mind practice, bring my vitamin D level to normal, balance my intake and include essentials like fish oil, integral life practice, being mindful, read a few books, and started feeling my life again. Strangely enough, for the first 30 days when David & I skyped during our daily sessions, it was never about my juice, it was waking up my mind. And, wake up I did. I’ll add that I did lose a few pounds and my blood pressure and cholesterol are in the normal range – a good juice feast does wonders for nourishing and normalizing the body. But, my mind, oh my mind was going bonkers – I was thinking and being and living and smiling. David the entire time listened – sometimes I babbled, sometimes there was nothing to say, sometimes I just listened to David the coach giving me things to try, to experience, to do. I loved the fact David met with me every weekday– it allowed me to work on the challenges of day to day life.<br /></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I have to say that being coached wasn’t easy for me. During the process, I once wrote in my journal – David isn’t my friend, he is my coach. I’m glad he is brutal and honest, however I don’t like being coached anymore because it makes me feel ugly. I’m talking about and changing the things in my life that I don’t like about myself and that’s really uncomfortable. Instead, I’d just prefer to keep hiding. But…<br /></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">For some reason my mind tells me to keep plowing ahead and even better things are going to happen in my life. David kept listening, offering guidance and I kept changing. David stays on as my coach for another 3 months. I quit the juice feast after 60 some odd days, I quit counting. During some conversation with David, he decides to tell me about somebody that died of smoking related causes. I drop the phone. It all resonates with me and a dagger is put into my back and twists so hard I am lost for a moment – yes, I smoke. I have smoked for 30 years. Quitting smoking wasn’t part of the coaching plan, or was it? It wasn’t. I’m mad, I’m angry, I confess that yes I’m cleansed from juicing but not cleansed from the toxins of cigarettes. Where do I go. David let me decide. I decide to quit smoking and David coached me through my journey.<br /></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I have to stop here and smile because as you read this <strong>you must know that I truly believe David invested some serious time into my life as my coach. We had a few extra talks on the weekend, he researched smoking, my ailments and detox symptoms, some of our scheduled 30 minute conversations went overtime, it was obvious the journey was more important than just being "a day job", he did more research, we laughed as my meditation brought on Harry Potter daggers into my forehead, he listened to me cry from physical withdrawal, also cry because I was so overwhelmed with happiness I couldn’t mutter any words, he offered more advice, gave more mindfulness practice, pushed me hard and 2 months later - I emerged. As a non-smoker! </strong><br /></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I don’t know how to end what I’d like to pass on to anyone about coaching with David – perhaps I’ll just simply say – if you allow yourself to be coached, David might take you on a journey of discovery and change too –<br /></span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-left: 40px;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">I love my life,<br />M...</span></span></span></strong><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">"</span></span></span><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><br /></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><br />If you are ready for this level of coaching, we look forward to hearing from you!<br /></span></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: larger;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">The January 2011 Juice Feast begins in two weeks!

of Honey, or The "No Agave Here" House<a href="http://beautifulbabyrain.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/img_7109.jpg"><img style="width: 394px; height: 263px;" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-680" title="IMG_7109" src="http://beautifulbabyrain.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/img_7109.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Ohhh Sweet Honey!<a href="http://cafebliss.ca/" target="_blank"> (honey at Cafe Bliss) </a><br /></strong></em></p><br />Something that my intuition and my body has always told me is now being confirmed by some of the very people who worked so hard to bring agave to the mainstream: <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>agave is the worst “bandito” of all sweeteners!</strong></span><br /><br />I bought one bottle of agave about 4 years ago after seeing pictures on David Wolfe's site of a beautiful young woman pouring it down her throat, straight out of the bottle! I thought, wow, a sweetener that is so good for you that you can drink it like water!?<br /><br />I tried it, I didn't like it at all. It tasted like corn syrup to me, and made me feel awful. So I went back to what I have always used and loved, honey. Over the years since then, I have had many opportunities to enjoy raw treats made with agave. While I do enjoy them in my mouth, everything after that point is a mess. Or should I say, I am a mess! Katrina + agave = basket-case. I feel edgy, anxious, hungry, grumpy, and all those unpleasant things that go along with blood sugar imbalance. So I do my best to avoid the stuff.<br /><br />If you are still using agave in your household, please read the following articles and then go and pour it down the drain!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.sacredchocolate.com/agave-blues-david-wolfe" target="_blank">The Agave Blues</a> by David Wolfe<br /><br /><a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/03/30/beware-of-the-agave-nectar-health-food.aspx" target="_blank">This "Tequila" Sweetener is Far Worse than High Fructose Corn Syrup</a> by Dr. Mercola<br /><br /><a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/024892_fructose_food_health.html" target="_blank">Agave Nectar, the High Fructose Health Food Fraud</a> on Natural News<br /><br />So, that brings me back to honey! I felt inspired to write a little ode to honey..... Honey is magical. Bees are magical. Flowers are magical. Eating honey makes me feel magical.<br /><br />In Organic Farming and Beekeeping, it becomes a partnership between bee and honey farmer. The symbiosis is beautiful, and as a honey eater I feel tapped into a beautiful, life affirming circle. And, honey is <span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"><strong>LOCAL!</strong></span> We get our honey from <a href="http://www.babeshoneyfarm.com/" target="_blank">Babe's Honey Farm</a>, and it is beautiful, and it gives me a pleasant, gentle buzz.<br /><br />And did you know that bees will produce up to 3 times the amount that they need to survive? In ethical beekeeping practices, both the bees and the honey eaters benefit.<br /><br />I love visiting honey farms and listening to the hum of the bees. See if you can find a honey farm near you and start to visit whenever you need a little sweetness.<br /><br />Honey is expensive (at least compared to conventional sugar) but in my mind this is a good thing. It just means we use less of it and are more careful of our consumption. When it comes to sweetener, a little mindfulness is a very good idea! It also means we are paying the honey farmer a living wage rather than paying pennies for sugar grown by people living in abject poverty in countries miles and miles away.<br /><br />Of course there are other alternatives to sweeten you treats, and honey may not be the one for you. If you are working with blood-sugar issues such as diabetes or candida, you will want to be even more aware of your sweetener choices. The above articles do a good job at listing out other sweeties to choose from.<br /><br />In closing, if you needed another reason to start buying organic, this might be it. <a href="http://www.i-sis.org.uk/honeyBeeOrganicFarming.php" target="_blank">Saving the Honey Bee Through Organic Farming.</a><br /><br />I'd love to hear your experiences with agave, and what your household's sweetener of choice is!David and Katrina Rainoshekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02781877879761792842noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516679729354381066.post-43085513606215917312010-02-24T13:15:00.000-08:002010-02-25T11:16:27.142-08:00Nettles!<a href="http://beautifulbabyrain.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/img_0094.jpg"><img style="width: 311px; height: 411px;" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-597" title="IMG_0094" src="http://beautifulbabyrain.files.wordpress.com/2010/02/img_0094.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /><br />It has been a mild winter here on the West Coast....wet, gray, fogged in day after day, but mild. And that means early nettles!<br /><br />Here is some info on nettles from Susun S. Weed in her book <em>The Wise Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Year (a book I HIGHLY recommend if you are planning on having babies) </em>:<br /><br /><em>The common stinging <span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 102);"><strong>Nettle</strong></span>, Urtica dioica, is one of the finest nourishing tonics known. It is reputed to have more chlorophyll than any other herb. <strong>The list of vitamins and minerals in this herb includes nearly every one known to be necessary for human health and growth</strong>. Vitamins A, C, D, and K, calcium, potassium, phosphorus, iron, and sulphur are particularly abundant in Nettles.</em><br /><br /><em>Benefits of drinking Nettle infusion before and throughout pregnancy include (Katrina's note: I feel that many of these benefits are sure to be true after the birth as well!)</em><br /><br /><em>~Aiding the kidneys.</em><br /><br /><em>~Increasing fertility in men and women.</em><br /><br /><em>~Nourishing mother and fetus.</em><br /><br /><em>~Easing leg cramps and other muscle spasms.</em><br /><br /><em>~Diminishing pain during and after birth. The high calcium content, which is readily assimilated, helps diminish muscle pains.</em><br /><br /><em>~ Increasing the richness and amount of breast milk. </em><br /><br /><em>~ Improves the elasticity of the veins. Good help for varicose veins.<br /></em><br /><br /><strong>Feeling inspired to get out to the nettle patch and do some picking!? </strong><br /><br />As with any wild food harvesting, make sure you know what you are picking before you eat it! I find a pair of garden gloves and a plastic bag works best for harvesting nettles, but a pair of rubber gloves or even a thicker plastic bag for your picking had will work too (they really do sting!) Picking the top 1-2 inches of the plants in early spring (or late winter on the West Coast this year) gives you the tenderest treat, but I found that picking and using even the tougher late summer leaves was fine.<br /><br />I did loads of nettle smoothies (and nettle tea, and steamed nettles) while I was pregnant with Sophia last spring and on into the summer. My intuition is that nettles and other green smoothies were part of the reason that my iron levels stayed in good range throughout my pregnancy (I was not taking any iron supplements or eating any meat.)<br /><br />My favorite nettle smoothie:<br /><br />1-4 cups nettle tops (they are very strong tasting, so if you have never had raw nettles before, start small!)<br /><br />2 bananas<br /><br />3 cups blackberries<br /><br />1 apple<br /><br />2 cups water<br /><br />BLEND! YUM!<br /><br />I also really love steamed nettles (yes, I am using some cooked food this chilly winter!) with a little bit of coconut oil and tamari. Simply put a huge pile of nettles, stems and all, into a pot with some water on the bottom. Bring water to a boil, and then turn off, leaving the lid on the pot and letting the nettles steam for about 5-10 minutes. Remove steamed nettles from the water and add a little coconut oil and a dash of tamari. After you have eaten the nettles, you can drink the water that they were steamed in!<br /><br />Nettle tea, or infusion as Susun Weed calls it, is another staple in my kitchen. Here is how Susun recommends making a water based infusion:<br /><br /><em>Use one ounce of dried leaves (two handfuls of cut-up leaves or three handfuls of whole leaves) in a quart jar. Fill the jar to the top with boiling water, put the lid on and let it steep for four hours at room temperature. </em><br /><br /><em>Leaves contain the potent healer chlorophyll. Long steeping extracts all the chlorophyll, as well as the vitamins, minerals, and other medicinal components of the leaves. Steeping in a closed jar keeps the water-soluble vitamins from escaping in the steam. </em><br /><br />Having the time to harvest and dry your own nettle leaves for tea is wonderful, but if you don't, you can almost always find dried nettle in the bulk herb section of your local health food store! If not, try out our favorite bulk herb shop on-line, <a href="http://www.mountainroseherbs.com/" target="_blank">Mountain Rose Herbs.</a><br /><br />There you have it, one of my favorite wild foods, the common stinging nettle.<em><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I've never tried it in juice, but I bet some one will! Let me know what you discover with nettle juice, oh potent! </span><br /></em>David and Katrina Rainoshekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02781877879761792842noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2516679729354381066.post-31118394544528282902010-02-01T22:36:00.000-08:002010-02-01T22:45:54.557-08:00Make a Wish!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsz0TucLlT9CZLtGr2apNd1vI4B0EKssNILoUaCdhyphenhyphennt_pyGEAoWXyiBNkOWl8LFu6YHlQxB-kvpgdlqeDgZbh8SCQNwZtWwmIkluydiP76gc2J_0yECD_1_4U1lEO11lBIe8Ru-MY9j5h/s1600-h/IMG_0316.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsz0TucLlT9CZLtGr2apNd1vI4B0EKssNILoUaCdhyphenhyphennt_pyGEAoWXyiBNkOWl8LFu6YHlQxB-kvpgdlqeDgZbh8SCQNwZtWwmIkluydiP76gc2J_0yECD_1_4U1lEO11lBIe8Ru-MY9j5h/s320/IMG_0316.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5433533078101292610" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><strong></strong><br /><strong></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;"></strong> <strong style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;"></strong> <strong style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;"></strong> <strong style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;"></strong> <strong style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;"></strong> <strong style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;"></strong> <strong style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;"></strong> <strong style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;"></strong><strong style="font-weight: normal; font-style: italic;">Finding some sunshine on a winter day...orange juice!</strong><br /><strong></strong></div><strong><br />Hello Juicy Friends!<br /><br /></strong>I hope that winter is finding you enjoying plenty of cozy moments!<br /><p>We certainly seem to be flying through winter with a baby in the house to light our days with her smile!

So far I am 26 days in and have already learned so much, especially that I have more to learn than I ever imagined! I'm having a lot of fun with it.<br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">Today's photo was the above, Green Beauty Soup, and I felt that it was worth writing about here. I can't seem to get enough of it, so simple to make, so satisfying, and so full of those <span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 102);"><strong>leafy greens </strong></span>that make my world go round. Getting a pound of leafy greens (or more) per day into your body is one of our top priorities, we want you to THRIVE!! This is why David is always talking about the "Four Means to Get Your Greens," because getting in that many greens can seem daunting until you realize that you can:</p><div style="text-align: left;">1. <strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 102);">JUICE</span></strong> your greens. We all know about green juice.</div><div style="text-align: left;">2. Eat your greens in a beautiful, colorful <span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 102);"><strong>SALAD</strong></span>. We all know about salad.</div><div style="text-align: left;">3. Blend your greens into a green <span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 102);"><strong>SMOOTHIE</strong></span>. We all know about green smoothies.</div><div style="text-align: left;">4. Blend your greens into a green <span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 102);"><strong>SOUP</strong></span>. We all know about green soups.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />(If you don't yet know all about these things, Google around and find some recipes to play with. There are so many people blogging about raw food and raw recipes now, and you will be in good company. Learn how to make versions of these things that knock off your socks so that you will be inspired to make more and prosper! You can also check out my <strong><a href="http://beautifulbabyrain.wordpress.com/wonderful-books/books/" target="_blank">favorite raw food books here</a></strong>.)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Yep, simple as that. If you do at least three out of those four,<span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 102);"><strong> JUICE, SALAD, SMOOTHIE, </strong></span>or <strong><span style="color: rgb(51, 153, 102);">SOUP</span></strong>, you'll be getting in close to a pound and probably more of leafy green goodness.<br /><br />The Four Means to Get Your Greens can be added to any diet, any time, for a wonderful boost to health and vitality. So, if you just finished a cheese burger from Burger King, try starting with a green smoothie every day, and work your way up to having a green smoothie, green juice, cheese burger, and then a green soup :).....I'll be honest, I don't usually do three, but almost every day I have at least two of the four and get in close to a pound of greens because I make my morning smoothies so heavy on the greens, and my soup, salad, or juice so loaded with leafies.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Here is today's version of <span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Green Beauty Soup:</span></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Start with guacamole. Mash two ripe avocados with the juice of one lemon, a generous dash of Celtic Sea Salt, a generous dash of dill, and 4-8 cloves of crushed garlic.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Then, blend in your high-speed blender the following: 1/2 pound spinach. 1/2 pound mixed baby greens. 1 handful of cashews. 1 TBS hemp oil. 1 small head of broccoli. 1-2 cups water. Blend on high until nice and creamy.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Next, pour your blended greens over your bright green guacamole and mix the two together. Add more salt and dill if needed. Garnish with big red pepper pieces to crunch on the side, and sprinkle with hemp hearts and cashews.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />Serves two lucky darlings.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />I made this as a good-bye lunch for my mom who headed off on the 3 o'clock ferry today, on her way down to California to be with her husband who is working there for the winter. I wasn't crazy about the broccoli, but it was still delicious. Sophia enjoyed sucking on a piece of red pepper while we enjoyed the soup.</div>YUM!!<br /><p style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://beautifulbabyrain.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/img_8376.jpg"><img style="width: 405px; height: 603px;" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-558" title="IMG_8376" src="http://beautifulbabyrain.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/img_8376.jpg" alt="" /></a><br /></p><p style="text-align: left;">In other news, the <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.juicefeasting.com/Projects/January2010JuiceFeast/tabid/357/Default.aspx">January Juice Feast</a> sold out (!), and is currently flowing along beautifully with an amazing group of folks.

This is from Angela Stokes-Monarch:</span><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana,geneva,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:13px;" ><p style="padding: 5px;"><b>'Tis the season to <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">get juicy</span>, fa la la la la, la la la laaaaaaaa...let's jump in with:</b></p> <p style="padding: 3px; font-size: 13px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); background-color: rgb(116, 166, 52); font-weight: bolder;">Easy Juice Feasting with the Hurom Juicer</p> <p style="padding: 5px; font-style: italic;">As many of you know, Mr. Monarch and I had a pretty intense <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">car crash</span> two weeks ago, in Pennsylvania. Immediately afterwards, we began a <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">week-long Juice Feast</span> to help expedite our <span style="color: rgb(153, 204, 0);">healing process</span>, which definitely seemed to help us enormously in terms of fast regeneration. At the same time as this week-long juicing session, we were <span><img src="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/images/hurom-slow-juicersmall.jpg" align="right" height="150" width="135" /></span>travelling back from the <span style="color: rgb(153, 204, 0);">east coast to the west coast</span> to be back in time for my next immigration interview. Time was pressed, <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">driving 8-12 hours a day</span> with no real breaks, across the whole country. SO, we were EXTREMELY grateful during this juicy journey to have our new <a style="font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.therawfoodworld.com/product_info.php?cPath=316_320_325&products_id=1002767&ref=175" target="_blank">Hurom Juicer</a> with us to handle the juicing duties.

It is December already! The Autumn Juice Feast is complete, the <a href="http://www.juicefeasting.com/Projects/Autumn2009LiverFlushLIVE/tabid/358/Default.aspx">Autumn Liver-Gallblader Flush</a> has rolled out the stones, and we are now getting ready for some beautiful time with loved ones over the holidays. As I write this we are in Houston with the Rainoshek family, enjoying some beautiful sunshine and our first Texas visit with our beautiful five month old daughter!<br /><br />I wanted to let you know that as a special holiday gift, <strong>RAW MOM SUMMIT IS BACK!</strong><br /><br />During the 8th month of my pregnancy with Sophia, I was honored to be included in the first ever Raw Mom Summit, created by Shannon Leone and Tera Warner. It was a fabulous experience, and the interviews collected are a priceless resource for anyone with children in their lives.<br /><br />I am really excited that these interviews are being re-released because they were originally aired during the first few weeks of Sophia's life and getting on a computer was the last thing on my mind at that time so I missed the whole summit! I won't make that mistake again! I've signed up and actually purchased the unlimited access to the summit so that I can fit it in to the organic flow of a time schedule that having a new baby entails.<br /><br />CLICK ON THE IMAGE BELOW TO GO TO THE OFFICIAL WEBSITE TO SIGN UP FOR THIS FREE EVENT!<br /><p style="text-align: center;"><!--Begin--><br /><a href="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=3061947"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.therawdivas.com/1ShoppingCart/rawmomsummit/rms-button-banner.gif" alt="Raw Mom Summit - The Evolution of Motherhood has arrived" border="0" height="161" width="175" /></a><br /><br /><img src="http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Imp=3061947" alt="" border="0" height="0" width="0" /><br /><!--End--></p>From the official Raw Mom Summit website:<br /><br />On <strong>December 9</strong> The Raw Mom Summit will roll out the red carpet and invite health-seeking parents around the world to empower themselves and their families at the time of year when we need it the most.<br /><h3>Dear Healthy Holiday Seekers,</h3><br />Mistletoe and gingerbread call to mind warm memories of the season. It's a time for family dinners and opportunities to reconnect with loved ones. When we put aside the commercial agendas, this is a time for reaching out in love and reflecting on a year of growth as we prepare for the coming of a new year.<br /><br />We want to give you the best chance to inform and empower yourself before 2010 comes. Given that this season, more than any other, is focused on family and relationships and a celebration of birth, we've decided to make the Raw Mom Summit available once again.<br /><br /><strong>Starting Wednesday, December 9th, 2009</strong><br /><br />What if you could gather together some of the most inspirational health leaders in the world and get them together in the same place for 9 days to discuss the subjects of nutrition, pregnancy, childbirth, parenting and other family health care issues?<br /><br />What if you could get YOUR concerns addressed about how to succeed on a healthy diet or how to feed your children the best food? What if you could finally get answers to your questions about:<br /><ul><br /><li><strong>What to do about Fertility, Ovulation and Conscious Conception?</strong></li><br /><li>How to prepare for a Healthy Pregnancy, Labor and Childbirth?</li><br /><li><strong>What is Attachment Parenting?</strong></li><br /><li>Which natural remedies to use when your children are sick?</li><br /><li><strong>How to feed a meat-eating partner if you are vegetarian or vegan?</strong></li><br /><li>What should you feed yourself when you're overwhelmed with cravings?</li><br /><li><strong>How to get kids excited and involved in their own food-prep?</strong></li><br /><li>What to do when our kids rebel against our healthy diet?</li><br /><li><strong>What is going on with the Bees and why is it so important?</strong></li><br /><li>How to shrink our Carbon Footprint?</li><br /><li><strong>What is Sustainability and Permaculture?</strong></li><br /><li>What Super Foods are BEST for kids?</li><br /><li><strong>Exactly what IS the healthiest diet?</strong></li><br /><li>What are the best ways to Raise Children Naturally?</li><br /><li><strong>What are the lesser-known common pit-falls of a Raw Food Diet?</strong></li><br /><li>Which foods help or hinder our Hormones?</li><br /><li><strong>What are the issues around Veganism, B-12 and Protein?</strong></li><br /><li>What do Raw children eat?</li><br /><li><strong>How to get picky eaters to crave their veggies?</strong></li><br /><li>Which foods help kids transition and stick to a healthier diet?</li><br /><li><strong>What are the other Top Lifestyle Factors besides diet for longevity?</strong></li><br /></ul><br />What if you could get the answers to all these questions and a WHOLE LOT MORE while washing dishes in your pajamas and bouncing a babe on your hip at the same time?<br /><br />Sound too good to be true?<br /><br />Well, not if we're talking about an exciting new event that has been put together by two self-employed mothers with the spunk and determination to get these questions answered by some of the most outstanding experts in the world!<br /><h2>Introducing...</h2><br /><h1>THE RAW MOM SUMMIT</h1><br /><h3>The Evolution of Motherhood Has Arrived</h3><br /><em>"Children are the Teachers.

They invite the world!</span><br /><br />Chris’ Idea: “I was going to do a Flush anyway, and there are a lot of people out there who would love expert guidance during their own process,” says Chris Whitcoe, M.A. in Live Food Nutrition, and co-owner of Vivapura: Pure Superfoods for Life.<br /><br />So he called up Elaina Love, professional Live Food Chef and Instructor, Lifestyle Counselor and owner of Pure Joy Planet, who has just completed her 11th flush as the organizer and facilitator of the Mt. Shasta 5-day Cleansing Retreat. “I knew that with Elaina’s experience, we would be able to answer just about any question or concern,” says Chris.<br /><br />Elaina’s On Board: "When Chris called me with the idea, I thought it was fantastic! What a great way to reach those folks who weren't able to make the Mt. Shasta cleanse and to help the numerous others who have called me over the years for guidance on cleansing. Co-facilitating a Live Telephone Support Cleanse really excited me because both Chris and David are so knowledgeable and experienced, plus just super fun guys, and the three of us together would be able to deliver so much more than any of us could do alone. Being able to speak to someone every night of your cleanse and get invaluable tips and coaching is beyond amazing. Not only that, but you will get to laugh and enjoy being on the phone with the three of us."<br /><br />Enter David: “I also realized that many people would desire to take it even further, and what better than a Juice Feast?” thought Chris. He then enrolled long time friend, David Rainoshek, also an M.A. in Live Food Nutrition, creator of the 92-Day Program on JuiceFeasting.com who also wrote/researched (with Gabriel Cousens, M.D.) the book There is a Cure for Diabetes. David adds, "I'm all about the accessibility of information and transformative life practices. Let's make this something everyone can do at home."<br /><br />So a beautiful collaboration unfolded – the intention is to support You, part of this extended family dedicated to healing, purifying and energizing!<br /><br />So join Chris, Elaina, and David for . . .<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The One Week 2009 Autumn Liver/Gallbladder Flush LIVE!</span><br /><br />The Introductory Conference Call is <span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">FREE -</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">this Sunday, Oct 25 at 6pm PST</span><br />with Elaina Love, David Rainoshek, MA, & Chris Whitcoe, MA<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The cleansing begins: November 2, 2009</span><br /><br /><div style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0); text-align: center;"><a href="http://click.icptrack.com/icp/relay.php?r=38565128&msgid=266405&act=LETM&c=451704&admin=0&destination=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.purejoyplanet.com%2Fstore%2Fproduct_info.php%3FcPath%3D6%26products_id%3D399"><span style="font-weight: bold;">CLICK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS!!</span></a><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">and to discover the importance of a healthy liver and gallbladder!<br /></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sunday, October 25th 6pm PST</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">FREE Introductory Info Session Conference Call</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Dial-in Number: (712) 432-0111</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Access Code: 308152# </span>David and Katrina Rainoshekhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02781877879761792842noreply@blogger.com0
