Scratching the Surface: A “Psychological” Psychic – (How I ‘Work’)

When I was a child, even before I had any cognitive awareness of my own “gifts” as a psychic, I was fascinated with the art of Divination. I’d scry things: Clouds, tree bark, potted plants on my grandmother’s shelves… Anything where there might be the slightest hint of mystery or pattern—even down to the linoleum on her kitchen floor.

Finding the balance and figuring out how to apply reason and logic to “the unknown”—intuition, mysticism and/or what the eye could not see—was something of a passion of mine as a child. Relating science and quantum physics to spirituality and my own intuition (or “feeling”, as I identified it back then) was an ongoing process for me. I was very grounded in “reality” but also fixated on understanding the application of intuitive processes and how science (or hard evidence) could validate intuition. It’s a passion that drives me, even today.

My curiosity and interest in tarot, pendulums and crystals was something completely natural for me as well. In addition, my upbringing and understanding of spirituality as a Native Hawaiian (also influenced by Buddhist philosophies, the Craft, Greek mythology, etc.) offered a sense of comfort and trust in relating to “the unknown”. So in hindsight, I shouldn’t be surprised that I found my calling as a psychic and a healer in my adult life. In some ways, it was “only natural”… in other ways, I never would have dreamed that I could have evolved to where I currently am in my life.

It makes sense, in that I was also fascinated with the human psyche. Growing up, I always studied human behavior—I always wondered why people did the things that they did and how they became who they were. Throughout high school I not only read up on psychology but I studied it in school as well. I had an obsession with dream interpretation and analysis as well as deeper messages and symbolism in every day life.

My teachers felt that I would make a wonderful psychotherapist—I was confident that I would too. But I was also of the mindset that the “science” of psychology was too limited by rules and agendas, so when I went to college I passed up the chance to delve deeper into the topic.

My point in sharing this is to give you a broader understanding of how I work and how I approach my psychic sessions with clients. Although I wouldn’t necessarily refer to myself as Jungian, I definitely will say that much of the way I approach human behavior (in my humble observations) is quite Jungian. Pairing this form of observation with my intuitive gifts are basically what shape the foundation of how I read clients.

(By the way, please do not interpret this as an implication that I am, by any means, a qualified psychotherapist/psychologist and/or licensed medical/healthcare professional—I am not!)

Combining these traits with my abilities and natural inclinations as a healer, my approach to giving a reading is generally based on two ‘principles’:

1)    I ask that all information that comes through be for the individual’s utmost and highest good and that it come through all in divine perfect time and order.
2)    I set the intention to be a clear channel for the individual so that such information is received exactly as it is meant to.

I have a high degree of ethics in my practice, placing integrity and “highest good” for you, the individual, at the forefront. I always encourage you to trust your own instincts first and foremost, then beyond that, use the information that I provide, to assist you in better understanding, and hopefully furthering you on your path.

I hadn’t realized until recently, that my energy as a healer is often what comes through when I read people. I always set a sacred space when I read someone, purely to ground the energies and to have a clearer space to work within.

Separate from my readings, I have been told that I have a way of making people feel calm and relaxed—almost like a human sedative (it MUST be the healer in me)! So in a way, I have learned to appreciate that ability, as it can make reading someone much easier.

Generally, I see images when I initially start to pick up information on someone. Shortly thereafter, I empath what you (or the person/situation of interest) are feeling, thereby painting a clearer picture of what’s happening. I am a very visual person (as I am also an artist) and much of the information that I receive comes through as visual cues.

I also hear words and am especially connected with sound (as part of my work as a healer utilizes my voice and vocal toning). I do my best to relay the “message” exactly as it comes through, because even though I may not always be clear on what They (my Guides and Your Guides) mean, the point is that you understand what They mean.

More than just offering bits of information, however, I also enjoy assisting on how to best navigate any given area of your life. It is almost like aiding in strategic planning—seeing what options are available and selecting the path geared toward the most desirable outcome (and as always, in your highest good).

In terms of utilizing the tarot… I enjoy reading the cards, though I do not always use them. Much of the time, I have found that the tarot merely serves as a vessel to either keep my hands busy and/or to point out other pieces of the puzzle. More often than not, the tarot serves to confirm what I had just intuited and shared.

I do my best to relay messages while also assisting you in understanding the information, as well as the interconnectedness of it all. My goal, as a psychic/healer, is to assist in nurturing and nourishing you so that you leave your session feeling that you have truly gained something during our time together.

Even if a situation appears hopeless, I am here to assist in seeing beyond the supposed “end point” and into the deeper journey—into the heart of the matter. We have an infinite number of potential paths and options in life, it is my honor and my passion to Serve as a Guide in navigating through such pathways. It’s also my goal to remind Us all (myself included!) that we truly are powerful beings, capable of shaping our own lives and painting our own pictures of how we see ourselves and how we desire and intend our worlds to be.

I am not here to analyze, criticize or judge—I am merely here to Serve as a vessel, a channel, a Guide… and I am honored and grateful to be that for You. Thank you for allowing me to Serve.

Starchild, Earthchild… Spirit Dancer…

I am at my core, a cosmic being–a child of the stars. My soul has had many incarnations on this planet. I have healed people, I have killed people (don’t worry, I’m LONG over/beyond that phase! LOL)… I have led people and I’ve lived in isolation. I’ve left a great many footprints around the world in a single lifetime and I’ve remained in the same tiny village in another lifetime.

We all have our individual journeys on this planet–even out in the ether… this is mine.

When people meet me they are, generally, a bit perplexed. Some see the Starchild, others see an “old soul” or, the Earthchild. Many psychics see the High Priestess in me, others see nothing more than what their eyes behold. I feel most comfortable in the cosmos, with the stars and the spiraling vortexes of the Infinite. I am embracing and enjoying my time on Earth now. I still have my moments of “spaciousness”. In fact, throughout my childhood and teen years I often referred to myself as an “alien”–my family and friends can attest to this.

I feel more at home than a lot of StarBeings that I’ve met and far less comfortable in my human form than many Earth-bound beings. I guess you could say that I’m in the middle–that’s actually been [another] a long running theme in my life, “middle ground”. Find the balance and/or the compromise–it’s no surprise that I’m a Libra rising, but that’s an entirely different story altogether.

So often, I’ve met “extremists”. Even in the spiritual community there are people who are so heavily fixated on “Spirit” that they ignore the blessing and beauty of being Human. We chose these bodies, these lives and this planet for a reason! why would you work so hard on leaving your vessel? I understand the allure of wanting to be in pure Spirit form, to be wandering the in the ether… free and unencumbered by a 3D body–I have gone through this myself and am actively aware that my focus is on Unity Consciousness. This concept of Unity Consciousness though, truly starts from the inside out. It is only through Re-Union and the Re-Claiming of Body and Soul that we are able to more effectively join together in “mass” Unity Consciousness.

(I do not know who the artist/owner is, but please let me know and I will gladly credit accordingly)

It took me a while to resolve and understand this delicate balance but I’ve realized that once I was able to truly reclaim myself–mind, body and soul–it suddenly became much more of a rhythmic momentum, rather than a disjointed juggling act.

It does take work–I will tell you this much. Understanding the balance in being committed and dedicated to your own Soul nourishment through activities such as active meditation and self-energy work (or whatever your chosen method of “Soul/Spirit work” may be) combined with a healthy respect for your Human form/body by properly nourishing, nurturing and exercising (and we’re not talking hours in the gym here!) are decent places to start.

It can be so easy to focus solely on one aspect or another–all Spirit or all Human–that “the balance” becomes a blur and we often have to “check-in” with ourselves… which, frankly, is VERY healthy! I check-in with myself, friends and/or peers… that’s why we have each other!

In the end it’s all a dance… and I enjoy the happy medium of Be-ing the eternal Spirit Dancer. The God/Goddess within, celebrating and embracing this dance, this Divine Union of Earth and Cosmos. My Guides (and, with all due respect, my Spirit) have been really wonderful in providing me with visual cues to utilize in my daily meditations. As we grow, evolve and transform, I feel that it’s only natural that your practices follow suit.

Once you recognize the miracle With-In, it becomes purely second nature to recognize the miracle With-Out… and You Are that Miracle, Dear Ones… We All Are… and I AM.

With Love, Heart & the Divine Spirit Dancer in Us All…

Comfort in Dis-Comfort

This concept of comfort in discomfort is something I’ve been coaching clients, friends and family on for years–obviously because it’s something that I identified in myself very early on.

What “comfort in discomfort” means is exactly how it sounds. A person, who has been so “accustomed” to feeling sad, lonely, depressed, angry, etc becomes essentially comfortable with the “pain”. It’s almost as though “pain” or “negativity” has become the identity of the individual so much so that they can no longer even fathom the idea of life being anything other than what it is.

This is such a significant pattern that people get looped into they don’t even realize it half of the time… mostly because they are just that unconscious/unaware. It’s a vicious cycle but once you get to the root of it, you can shift and release those behaviors once and for all. Take charge, make change–no matter how big or small! Any action is better than no action! (So long as it’s not life-threatening! lol)

We were not put on this planet to suffer. We did not choose to incarnate into these 3D vessels merely for the purpose of experiencing pain only. Pain is present to teach us, to push us to evolve. That’s when the “enough’s enough” pain point/zenith comes in. It’s the voice of the Higher Self taking charge and saying, “I am done with this way of existing, I am ready to live!”

The ego mind will (try to) trick you into creating excuses as to why you can’t or shouldn’t push past the pain point and jump on the boat to pleasure island. For example:

It’s too difficult/hard.
I don’t have time to for this.
No matter how hard I try I’ll never stop feeling this way.
It’s too expensive, I can’t possibly afford to pay for this.
My spouse/partner won’t like it if changed.

Sit and ask yourself… ARE YOU SERIOUS??? Whatever your reasons are (and hey, they may have some validity), stop and try to work with and/or around these reasons. If it’s worrying about having the time, TAKE THE TIME–isn’t your soul worth it? Aren’t YOU worth it? Start to prioritize your time–you’ll be amazed at how much more you can accomplish once you know how you’re spending your time.

If it’s finances, ask yourself “Ok, how much will this cost? Where can I start saving money here and there to set aside for this?” Putting aside $5 or even $1 is a good place to start–it’s putting forth the intention to invest into YOU that counts most. If you can’t put $1 aside here and there to invest into YOU, kind of like saving up for a pair of shoes or that really great jacket you’ve always wanted, then what you’re really saying is that you’re simply not ready for it and/or it really isn’t a priority in your life (yet)–which is ok! So long as you are clear and you’re not merely creating excuses to avoid the work!

We have all been there one time or another–don’t let your comfort in dis-comfort stop you from evolving. Don’t allow INDIFFERENCE to rule your life because I promise you it will get HARDER the longer you wait. Yes, I do believe that there is a Divine Time and Order to everything but you can start NOW… Do you want to know how? Are you ready for this? Are you sure???

Ok… here’s the BIG SECRET… BREATHE.

Take deep, meaningful breaths and you’ll notice changes taking place. Yes, there are different breathing techniques that you can do to start working with your Chi/Qi/Ki and whatnot, but this free, readily available resource is accessible at any time!

Do your best to observe your behavior, ask yourself what works and what doesn’t work in your life and/or for you. Start writing, start journaling and peeling away the layers that make-up who you are… start asking yourself what you want to create in your life and go for it. Don’t settle for discomfort, don’t get lazy because you’re worth it!

Understanding Soul Urgency & Soul Health…

I have been meeting many people who have been experiencing what I am referring to as, “Soul Urgency”. Feelings of anxiety, highs and lows, mental and emotional exhaustion… the list goes on.

Part of the Ascension process is an awakening… yes, I realize that many of you reading this are rolling your eyes thinking “Duh!”. However, there are still individuals who have not heard of the Ascension–if they have, they only know of it as “the Earth changes/etc”… even those of us who are aware of the Ascension process may experience varying degrees of Soul Urgency as part of our own evolutionary/transformational/recalibrating process. After all, we do not live in a vacuum and even the most highly evolved Masters understand that one must also be the Eternal Student.

Soul Urgency is the Higher Self’s way of communicating with us, urging us to evolve. It sometimes comes on severely, other times it can be almost subliminal. I often receive messages from people who either follow my blog, my FB Page or were referred to me through a friend or client… these messages are almost always like this:

“OMG! HELP! I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO!…”

Of course it goes into much more detail, but that is often the tone of the emails/messages. The truth is, it takes much more dedication and commitment to truly jump to “the next level”… before reaching outward, really ask yourself: “How much am I truly ready and willing to commit to ME? How much am I truly ready and willing to commit to MY PATH? My own happiness?”

If your Soul has been pushing you and pushing you to the point where you can’t take the “pain push” any longer–your only option from there is… JUMP. What, really, do you have to lose? Other than dropping the “baggage” and the “pain”–what could you POSSIBLY have to lose? What is stopping you from honoring and following the urging of YOUR OWN HEART AND SOUL?

In the long-run, how much is YOUR life worth to you? How much are you INVESTED in You? Trust me, I have been there! If you are willing and ready, the Universe provides–we simply need to be open and willing to allowing that possibility potential to flow! It has been proven to me time and time again, that if I am willing, ready and open, the Universe DOES intervene and provide a way. I first had to say to myself “I am worth it and I am worthy.”

It takes consistency and commitment to fully implement a shift and a change in your life and your way of being. Yes, there are very simple and basic steps (and, of course there are also some more sophisticated steps–sometimes LOL) in the process but just like anything else, it IS a process. You wouldn’t just go to a gym, bust out an hour of cardio and expect your body to run like a well-oiled machine straight off the bat, would you? Then how can you expect your Soul health to respond like a champ after your first shot at meditation?

Consistency. It’s not difficult to build consistency and momentum in terms of strengthening your Soul health but it does take practice and above all, willingness. Own yourself, heed the call of your Soul and take steps, however big or small, toward your True Soul Self. Namaste’

Collapse Before Expanse

Lately a major theme in my life (and, actually in the lives of others around me) has been “collapse”, or if you will, death… a complete end of the old before the start (or expansion) of the new.

I am at the tail end of it–in fact, I feel that I’ve just completed my “old life” collapse process.

My intention and focus has been to generate a steady, strong and growing momentum of energy ushering in the expansiveness of the New Earth. Of course, part of that are the goals/visions/etc that I am manifesting in my own life. I recognize, at this point, that I’m beyond the point of collapse and that I am in the building phase of the new dimension/reality of my path.

What this all means is… don’t panic. Don’t “spin out” if you’ve started to notice that walls are crumbling, relationships are coming to a close and/or even your “stuff” is literally falling apart. This is truly part of the process. If you have been working on a path of self-awareness/self-evolution, it is completely necessary for your “old life” and your “old way of being” to come to an end. Any outdated systems, relationships, things, etc that no longer resonate with your “new life” and no longer serve you/your highest good, will simply fall by the wayside… let it.

This does not mean that ALL of your relationships will fall apart–nor does it mean that if a relationship is coming to a close, that specific person will NEVER be part of your life again. All this means, all that I am saying, is that you are evolving, your life and your path are ready to be embraced… embrace it!

Be excited about the limitlessness of possibility potential in your life NOW. Yes, you must also take tangible ACTION–we do, after all, exist also within the 3D realm! However, use your manifestation skills and your connection with the 5D to assist in SHAPING the expansion… the NEW EARTH… your NEW LIFE.

Remember that in order to build a new structure on the same plot of land, the old structure must be demolished and swept clean/clear. The energy shifts we’ve been experiencing and the frequencies available to us now are truly here to support our growth and to be used to propel us FORWARD and into a prosperous, abundant and limitless future… and… the future is now!

Soul Mates and Twin Flames and True Love, Oh My!

Unless you live under a rock, you’re familiar with the term “soul mate”… what you don’t realize is that your concept of what a soul mate is probably misses the mark… entirely. I’m writing this because I’ve been connecting with friends, clients and strangers who have been inquiring about this. I hope this assists you all on your paths.

How many commercials have you seen promoting messages of “Find true love today!” and “Find your soul mate in 30 days or less!”? How many online dating sites have been popping up, promising connection with a mate–telling you how wonderful your life will be once your “other half” comes in to “complete” you?

Here is the absolute, ugly and awful truth: You are already complete. No other outside force, or external energy is meant to “complete” you. Now, before you start ripping out your hair and screaming “YOU’RE WRONG!” at the computer screen, here me out…

(Feel free to do your research, Google your heart out… I’m only here to cut to the chase and make this as simple as possible.)

A soul mate is someone whom you’ve more than likely had numerous past lives with. Often, soul mates come together to assist us in learning lessons, supporting our growth, etc. Soul mates are not exclusively intimate/romantic partnerships, they may be family, friend, etc (and clearly you can have more than one). People tend to attach themselves to the romanticized concept of “soul mate” as a frame of reference, programmed into the collective consciousness as a means of keeping humanity in a state of separation from our own sense of completion/wholeness and from Source. (Hence the long, amorous sigh of, “S/he was the one that got away… S/he was my soul mate! I’ll never love again! I’ll never be complete!”)

Twin Flames are literally our Divine Masculine (or Feminine) counterparts. I want to stress that this does not mean we are incomplete beings if we are not in physical union with our Twin Flames. We already have the (Twin Flame) Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine energies within ourselves–the right (masculine) and left (feminine) sides of our bodies. I’m not going to get into the origin of Twin Flames–Plato can help you with that one (Google: “twin flame Plato”). The key is to bring those energies and aspects of ourselves into Union… to balance these opposing forces (which were originally harmonious) and reprogram them to work in synchronicity.

In healing and balancing these aspects of ourselves (in addition to honoring and recognizing our own Hearts; clearing patterns, blockages, and other programmed beliefs and ideals that do not Serve our Soul’s Highest Good) we are then able to recognize our own Oneness within… thereby allowing for a more harmonious, balanced and often higher resonating relationship with another (be it a soul mate, twin flame or a “new” relationship altogether).

Twin Flames may choose not to incarnate in the same lifetime. Sometimes one of the two decides to remain in pure consciousness/energetic form, possibly to assist the other (who has chosen to experience 3D existence). Conversely, even in cases where both do incarnate in the same lifetime, the two may not be fully evolved and/or ready to the point of reconnecting in this lifetime. Lessons may need to be learned, etc (hence, the more common connection of soul mate-relationships take place).

Everyone has their own karma to fulfill and their own paths to experience. Some people choose to remain single. The most important thing to remember (no matter what path you choose–single, married, etc) is to resonate with wholeness and completion; aligning with your Soul-Self, bridging and uniting your humanity with your divinity.

Do not let this diminish the experience of being in (intimate) partnership! True, unconditional love between two beings, is meant to be balanced and content. Yes, it is also to be enjoyed (as we ARE here to fully engage in the human experience–partnership included!) but “love”, true love is full of compassion, understanding, patience, joy, contentment (there’s that word again!) and the desire to learn from each other and to grow together (among other positive descriptions and experiences, otherwise “drama free”!).

There is much more that could be added to this entry but I’m just trying to simplify and provide a quick overview for those interested–I hope I have done the topic justice…

Personally I have worked on balancing, healing and clearing my own Twin Flame Divine Feminine and Masculine energies… It is important for me to Serve in that capacity. To remind you that you need no external force to feel and/or be whole. You only need to turn your gaze within and see your Divine Selves! Hug yourself!

Remember, you are not alone, you were never alone and you never will be alone. Your Soul is here to remind you of that, we are here to remind each other as well. When each of us takes ownership of ourselves and empowers ourselves as well as each other, the world thrives… We thrive. Namaste’

Healing Goats, Activating Energies & Thoughts on Ascension…

A week and a half ago I had the honor of working with three goats who were rescued by a wonderful establishment, The Gentle Barn. They were abused, starved and entirely malnourished. I now [fully] know why the opportunity transpired and what it did “to” me.

Me, telling Rainbow how loved, cherished and valued she is and thanking her for allowing me to Serve.

Before my friend Madeline and I entered the infirmary to work on Hope, Joy and Rainbow, we were told that Hope did not like to be touched at all and that Joy might let us touch her but not on her face… When I approached them, I grabbed a chair and went to work. It was instantaneous and I knew that there was a lot going on–much more than even I knew at the time.

Me, sending energy/healing to Hope. She zoomed in on me and told me that she wanted me to work on her, eventually leading to physical touch.

When I left the Gentle Barn I was basically in outer space for the rest of the day–that was a cue to me that something had been activated in ME. I had no idea what it meant and just felt like maybe I was “high” from the experience of being of Service to these sweet creatures.

A week later I woke up and felt noticeably different, somehow. I felt a shift and I knew, immediately that I had experienced some sort of merging of dimensions or jumping of tracks again… This brings me to a dialogue regarding a post on my Facebook Page. There was some confusion regarding the plethora of information available on the Ascension process… Here’s my response and how the experience I had with the goats ties into all of it:

Some people see things, essentially in different ways–I think it definitely boils down to “perception” of channeled information, if that makes any sense? The Ascension is happening, it’s already happening and it’s going to happen… I don’t feel like it will be some type of “on this date, x-y-z” situation but rather a progressive/continual shifting (though “blink of an eye” shifting is possible).

I don’t feel that those who do not choose (or at least are not consciously aware enough to realize that they have a choice) to Ascend will be destroyed but rather, their way of living will get even more difficult to maintain to the point where they will be PUSHED to evolve–or continue to suffer even more… So I suppose, in the long run, MOST people will eventually choose to Ascend… after all, it IS free will! Honestly, I think it will be different for everyone and levels of consciousness and awareness will vary–some will be leaders in the New Earth Era, some will be at early stages of awakening, others will be further along, etc…

There are MANY who are awake but who aren’t yet ready to integrate with the energies of 2012/the Ascension–this is part of what I was experiencing the past week or two… when I worked on the goats, they (& I) activated a contract/energies within myself that made me more or less aware/holding space for those types of people… Awake but not ready to fully integrate/accept the Higher Frequencies of 2012… so part of me decided to sacrifice my “Express Lane” ride on my path… I took a small country road the past two weeks rather than staying in my Express Lane, so that I could better serve the “late bloomers”…

I know it is a lot but you are doing well and keep going with it… trust yourself and what you “know” and “feel”–the understanding of it all will follow… I guarantee it.

I know that this may seem a bit disjointed but today, after my session with my mentor, Kristani, I realized all of what was happening to me the past week and a half or so… In choosing to work on the goats, I consciously KNEW that it would create some sort of change on my path. I did not, however, know the extent or meaning of that change. It’s not that all of the things that I was focusing on are no longer part of my path, it just means that I opened up an entirely new (albeit, somewhat smaller) pathway to include in my work. So basically, I opened up a shoulder lane on my path!

It was a bleed through of another dimension, expanding my energies and contracts. The goats truly taught me a lot and I’m sure that there will be more understanding of the chain reaction that was set into motion from that experience.

All I mean to say is that I had no idea, nor did I have any conscious intention to alter my own reality by being of Service to the goats–however, my actions opened up a new realm. I think, the goats were there to remind me that while I’m working with those who are in process and are experiencing varying levels of energy activations, etc, there are still people who are just beginning to awaken and who simply are not ready for the big wave of what’s been happening and of what’s to come… They activated a part of me who had/has the desire to hold space for the “late bloomers” and to work with them as well.

That being said, I urge those who are Awake and in process to hold space and possibility potential for those who may be in their awakening process or even on the verge of it.

Artisana Organic Foods – Review

I am a coconut lover freak. My screen name on a forum is Coconut Girl… I am never without a large tub of coconut oil… I think you get the idea. Recently I purchased a jar of Artisana Coconut Butter–I now have a bone to pick with Artisana Organic Foods because………

I AM TOTALLY ADDICTED. I need a large vat of this in my kitchen at all times!

My first jar of coconut butter was barely half-way through when I went ahead and requested a sample of Artisana’s other organic, raw nut butters. You have no idea how excited I was when I received this incredible spread, just waiting for me to taste test…

Before I give my review, I just want to state that I have not received any monetary (or other) compensation to provide my feedback/review on these products–other than the free samples, of course.

The Coconut Butter and Cacao Bliss are my #1 & 2–I pretty much eat the Coconut Butter every day (though I’ve been trying to cut back–I kid you not, this stuff is addictive!). I aspire to blend this into recipes like cookies and cakes, etc, which I will do in the future, but for now I’m more than happy to enjoy it mixed into my yogurt and or topping off my Super Green Smoothie Bowls… or, you know… just grabbing a spoonful and noshing. (Stay tuned, recipes are on the way!)

I enjoyed the Pecan Butter thoroughly–which actually surprised me. I do love pecans but not as much as I love macadamia nuts… which brings me to the Macadamia Nut Butter–I liked it but didn’t realized (duh) that it was mixed with Cashew Butter. I’m not 100% but I think I may have a slight allergy to cashew as I could feel the back of my throat start to get a bit of an itch after consumption. I enjoyed the flavor and I’d like to try it topped on frozen yogurt or ice cream… The Tahini and Cashini were a bit strong for my liking but it was great when I mixed it into my hard boiled eggs.

I am definitely going to be a regular purchaser of the Cacao Bliss, Coconut Butter and more than likely the Pecan Butter. I have yet to test the Coconut Oil, Walnut Butter and the Almond Butter though I have a feeling I’ll really like those too. I think part of me is hoarding them! LOL

I am just glad to have found raw, organic nut butters–especially since the majority of my diet has been shifting toward vegetarianism lately.

Connecting: Body & Soul

A screencap of my Hawaiian Papaya & Starberry Smoothie Bowl as a Top 9 on FoodBuzz.com

Part of my commitment to Self-Awareness includes, of all things, health & nutrition–GO FIGURE! LOL So I’m excited to share my joy with the upcoming reentry into TEST KITCHEN GOODNESS! I’ve had to put it on the back burner for some time as much of my healing/process dealt with identifying the root “issue” of my “food issues”… I ate healthily but still had emotional/mental issues with food and with over-eating.

My 2nd, 1st round (as I’m referring to it) of my diet/detox/re-alignment with nutrition and food is winding down and I am gearing up to enter the next “phase” of the cycle. I am VERY excited as my body is truly ready to enjoy a wider variety of foods, supplements and higher-frequency foods.

As spiritual beings we sometimes forget to honor our humanity and to love our human bodies! Part of the motivation for my desire to take on this diet was not simply to “release excess weight” but it was truly to reestablish a healthy relationship with foods and with my physical body. I am also focused on cleansing and healing on all levels for a “Light-er” Life and way of Be-ing.

That being said, keep your eyes peeled as I will be posting recipes again (with photos of course! I have many wonderful ideas playing out in my mind for exciting new recipes and I can’t wait to test them out and to share them with you all! I am looking forward to expanding my food options/variety again and eating FATS! Coconut butters, raw nuts, yogurts and more!
