An AHA! Moment

Friday, July 31st, 2009

This morning as I was out walking, I thought about things I want to tap on. Now, since I’m doing my classes and teleclasses, food and issues around it was one thing I’m staying focused on because I want to give my students/clients their money’s worth so, I’m continuing to study and play with it.

One of my biggest issues in the past was what I thought was loneliness when my husband would leave for work in the evenings and I’d rummage through the fridge, the cupboards, the freezer for food to stuff myself with. That didn’t make sense since, not use to living with someone 24/7, I sort of revel in my quiet time alone. I’ll often soak in a tub, read a junk novel, finish up some work, take a walk, train, watch dvd’s, and EAT! PLUS, very often in the evenings, He’s working so, I’m alone anyway so, what happened when He was gone?

Until this morning, I couldn’t put my finger on it. This was my AHA! moment! There’s an unconscious part of me that feels as though HE is restricting me from eating. Of course, this is ridiculous. He’s never even attempted to stop me from being, doing and having anything and everything I want as long as I’m not hurting myself ~ which, I normally wouldn’t do.

So, some part of me has put me in an unconscious jail where, when He’s gone, I’m FREEEEEE! In reality I AM free! Yet, unconsciously, I’ve not been. Weird, eh? Yet, that’s the saboteur within. Now that I’ve got THAT clarity, I tapped on it and, we’ll see what happens this weekend since He’ll be working all 3 evenings. “Even though some part of me feels restricted from doing what I want to do, I choose to enjoy my freedom at all times”.

Things like this are what I want to bring out of folk with my classes. What in the world is hiding in the deep, dark recesses of our un and/or sub consciousness.

See, learning that, was a revvellation! It didn’t hurt! It freed me to find this out and to check it out.

Oh, now, I don’t have to take this revvellation any farther. Just the knowledge alone was so freeing; then tapping on it to clear it… BUT, being the curious one I am, I did take it a step further to find out where that came from. So, “One reason I’ve restricted myself is ~ (wait for this one) ~ I want my knight in shining armor to take care of me and shoulder all responsibilities”. YIKES!!! Whoaaaaa!!!

I realized quite some time ago about the knight in shining armor thing but didn’t know I still carried it. Now that it’s up and out, I can work/play with it. When it was hidden, what could I do but sabotage myself and everything I’m trying to do?

It’s like whatever was going on with me physically a couple of weeks ago. I’ve been knowing SOMEthing was wrong because of bloating, passing gas, etc. but, until it became acute… didn’t know how to deal with it. Now, I do. In order to heal things must be revealed.

Right now, with what I’m learning about me via tapping and other tools I’m using, I am SO excited I get to share this with others. That’s why I started my work in the first place about 23 years ago. It’s SO powerful, I have to share!

Oh! There’s a dvd out called “Try it On Everything”. It shows a group of people from different backgrounds with different issues coming together to work with EFT. It’s interesting that for many, even though they were tapping on other peoples’ issues, their own issues were resolved. Can you imagine, if this works with diverse issues, how powerful it’ll be with people all tapping on the same/similar issues?

I’ve found training in a group ~ the energy shared ~ is waaaaaay more powerful than training alone. I can’t wait for next week for my classes here to begin and next month for my online/phone classes. They’re going to be AMAZING!

Injoy,

“Raw Living” by Kate “Magic” Wood

Thursday, July 9th, 2009

This is a truly good book for everyone yet, especially for parents and/or if you have a spouse who isn’t raw and doesn’t seem to be ever heading that way.

Personally, I’ve heard of many hard-core, die-hard spouses say they’ll never go raw and then, after seeing their loved one(s) transform in so many ways, they finally, albeit slowly, take the plunge.

A few things I like about this book ~

She addresses children and their needs; conception; pregnancy, husbands (and other partners) and, this is the only book I’ve seen so far (or, maybe I’ve just not looked) where aphrodisiacs are discussed.

After chatting with Kate on Rawkin Radio, (up July 14, ’09) I understand her use of so-called super foods. (to me, anything living, fresh, organic and edible is a super food yet some have chosen to call certain other foods “super” (and often with first letters capped) … yeah, yeah, that’s just me!

Anyway, this book is waaaaay cool because the ingredients are common; the recipes ~ over 150 of them ~ have few ingredients and they are mostly listed in oz./tablespoons as well as grams so it’s cool for Americans as well as Europeans. At the beginning of each recipe she tells what equipment is needed, prep time and number of servings. She also includes “kitchen notes”, sprouting directions and a two-week sample menu. Hmmm. Thinking I may have to try that one.

For instance, Apple Creme Pie ~ Pie crust, 3 ingredients; Filling ~ 6 ingredients, all easy to find.

Go ‘head and order it. You’ll be glad you did ~

Enjoying Life with Himself, Ronnie and Minh

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

Last week, Bo and I had the most delightful time with Ronnie and Minh of UBRaw. Besides going for the visit and getting away for ourselves, we went to talk about putting together a raw food event. Our original plan changed as we chatted. We basically went from a convention type with multiple speakers to a potential retreat for those looking for a place to learn how to create wonderful food, quickly and easily with common ingredients from a master chef.

During the days we were there, we got to experience Minh’s orange juice and aloe drink; mango smoothie, pizza, “fried” rice; two types of spring rolls; seaweed, and more, as well as their gracious hospitality.

For those who don’t know, Minh has been raw all her life although she really didn’t know what that was. It was just part of her upbringing. You can find out more about Ronnie and Minh here and here.

We’re just in the beginning stages of putting this together so, in the meantime, here are some pics of where we’ll be holding the retreat(s). Also, remember, revel in life and always, play with your food.
