A day for me, of peace & mindful awareness
Today is a blessed day that I have fully and totally to myself! slaDE~ was out the door before the crack of dawn, heading to the mountains to visit his other love … snowboarding in the Rockies. And with the dawn of a brilliantly warm and sumptuously quiet day, I have been nurturing my soul…
The pursuit of happiness and mental clarity
In 1936, Dorothea Brande’s recorded these twelve mental exercises. It all comes down the point that we control our brain, our actions, our words. This article was posted in the Huffington Post. 1. Spend an hour each day without saying anything except in answer to direct questions, in the midst of the usual group, without…
25 thoughts for a Great Life
1. Take a 10-30 minute walk every day. And while you walk, smile. It is the ultimate anti-depressant. 2. Sit in silence for at least 10 minutes each day. Talk to God about what is going on in your life. Buy a lock if you have to. 3. When you wake up in the morning…
The heat is on!
Summertime is just around the corner, and it’s important to keep hydrated, especially if you sweat a lot. Sweat is the body’s internal air conditioning, keeping you cool from the inside out.

Nor does it have anything to do with wanting to lose weight;…
Detox Menu
This menu is another really useful guide if you’re considering attempting a general detox. My herbal plan similarly follows this in the pre-cleanse phase for the first 2 weeks (with additional doses of psyllium fibre ‘shots’ twice per day). The two weeks following this, my regime is quite more diligent and precisely monitored. I’m on…
Detox – dos and don’ts
I found this article extremely useful in addition to the herbal detox plan I am following. I’m also reading a ton of books on raw food and such, and am getting confused by all the options. Good to stick back to the ‘basics’. Detox – What To Eat Detox, short for detoxification, is the removal…
