Herbs have changed my life......it's nearly been a couple of decades now of devoting my attention to them, but it never ceases to amaze me how much something like the weeds from the garden can alter, affect, assist & heal. 

Everything

The most wonderful thing I love about using herbs as my food, deep nutrition & gentle medicine is how they work across all parts of me (body, mind, spirit) as if there are no boundaries. How they work quickly, without negative side effects, how they pull me up as they work with me and communicate with the deepest parts of me.

In fact, I've gone from being a person who feared and didn't trust my body, which was shut down and closed up, to one who has watched her life literally unfold in layers of deeper meaning, passion and purpose. 

Our true nature is;   NATURE

Workshops, Market Stall, Nature & Me

 We are approaching the harvest time of year, the special gifts of nature are being presented for those of us willing to wander into streams, trudge through hedgerows, follow the honey bee trail and listen to the hum of magic on the wind.

The only thing asked of us is to be ourselves.

This has become my motto over the years, if I can only get back to myself, I will find who I have always been, waiting for me there. 

Nature knows the way, shares her secrets and guides those who are pure of heart. 

❤️

If you can, come out for one of my workshops, classes or talks over the next little while. Or get one of my books, these books are very special and important. Stop by my market stall for a browse and a chat, ask me a question. I will try to answer from my heart and the wisdom nature has been teaching me. 

We are often walking this journey by ourselves, but we are not alone.

Post Viral Syndrome & Probiotics

Just wanted to catch you up on our fasting - we are still working away here - terrific insights every day - for the most part we are fasting for 3 to 5 days, then taking 2 or 3 days for food, increased exercise and all else!

Not sure what day we are on now (it all started on 30 April)….we took another 2 eating days over the bank holiday weekend and are now right back at the fasting again. Actually this is day 2 for me and the first day for the everyone else.

I am more determined then ever to see this through to the very end (whateverthatis?) because I feel I am finally seeing some results. However, I am not entirely certain I can explain them properly!

Except…..

Well, last week in the middle of my fasting all of my old Glandular Fever symptoms came on full force (cold sores, pain, stiffness, pain, joints aching, did I mention pain?). But before I go into that let me give you a bit of background here.

When I was 20 years old I got glandular fever, it put me out for a month or so – I was still weak, tired and unwell, but as I was self supporting (on my own since I am 17), I had no choice but to get back working and carry on.

So, that’s what I did. 

For the next 14 years or so – I worked, lived (or at least thought I did) and kept going as best I could even though my adrenals were shot, my thyroid was low and I often had little energy. I never resorted to meds, herbs, changes in diet and exercise kept me afloat.

But I did have my tonsils out at age 28 because they were the main source of the virus and my throat was always killing me. This gave me some measure of better health and I was able to get my life back a bit. 

Fast forward to the next decade;

Then I got cancer, had to sort that out (I did with food, water, exercise, sunshine and no chemicals) and have been making significant changes to my outlook ever since. But – after my last child was born, the glandular fever came back up again and never really settled down.

And I just couldn't seem to get to the bottom of it. No amount of exercise, herbs, vegan diet, cutting this out or that out seemed to make much of any difference. Everything bothered my digestion and it had no rhyme or reason to it. One day I could eat almonds and the next day they would cause bloating and pain!

That’s where the fasting came in. I had nipped it in the bud by dealing with the virus through herbal tea fasts, however, I was not killing the virus because my immune system was still under it’s control and as soon as the fast was over, it would all come back again.

Once I got far enough along in the fasting (years by this time) and started adding my own probiotics, then the game changed. And this is where I find myself right now a couple of years into this new type of fasting - with much more significant results. 

I think for the first time in 26 years my body is actually fighting/removing this virus. It could not do that previously because our immune system is gut mediated and there was just not ‘enough’ living in my gut, to gain the upper hand.

Now there is. 

Watch. Out. World.

Focused Negativity - Energetic Links to Cancer

It’s funny – I never really talk about this a lot but years ago I had cancer and walked away from any medical treatment. Instead I treated myself – and I am still here to tell the tale.

I get asked often enough what I think about cancer and what causes it or why good people die from it. So, lately I have been given it some further thought. As if during those weeks I was healing my own body I didn’t think enough!

Cancer is a fungal disease, it is not a chronic condition or at least it shouldn’t be – but there are those who need it to be as it prolongs treatment options. And that means more money, basically.

I have long thought of the direct root cancer takes to gain a foothold in our body’s tissues – it is a result of direct focused negativity in most cases. And yes, this is as simple as it sounds.

When someone is subject to prolonged situations of dark energy (or enough of a concentration of it in one blast) taken with poor self care, lack of exercise and an inadequate diet – then the conditions are ripe for something to develop and fester in that darkness.

And let’s face it – there is enough wickedness and ill will around to keep the world spinning on it’s side for the rest of eternity. Everywhere we go, these days, people are fearful and rightly so – this evil energy is coming from the top down.

The bottom line here is we have forgotten (been robbed of it) and lost the ability to protect ourselves in any meaningful capacity. Our immune systems are down – our hormonal function is well, dysfunctional and we are suffering as a direct result.

Actually, cancer is only one of the physical responses of this stagnant pool of heavy energy – there are many other manifestations as well, none of them good. But I am certain there has been a pill invented to push down each and every symptom until we die from medieval forms of medicine.

So what’s a person to do? The first thing to do is to learn to protect yourself – on the inside as well as the outside. That means working in your own energy field for instance as well as feeding yourself better and removing as many toxins from your life as possible.

This is only a start – but it’s a good one. A healthy energy field, a healthy body and a sound mind all derive from natural means – good clean water, food and herbs. As well as exercise, fresh air and loving relationships. 

Nothing good comes from a plastic container of chemicals – only more ill will.

Entering into Another Dimension....

Even though I have used herbs for years and years....when I think back to how much I love and drank my herbal teas (and coffees) over the years - it's seems as if I am the original earth mother but...they never cease to amaze me!

I wanted to mention it here because I know so many people out there who do a few different things when it comes to herbs and they sell themselves and these miraculous plants far short. On a bit of a rant, I see too many people planting, growing and selling herbs who have absolutely no idea of their value.

And what is far worse - they sell herbal teas or some such without ever having even tasted, tried or used them for their own health and enjoyment. To be honest I find this a bit fraudulent...it's like the vegetable seller who doesn't eat his own wares and is generally unhealthy because of a poor diet.

They are talking the talk - but not walking it. And that is a shame.

With herbs I have had a long association as well as a good basic general knowledge of just some of their amazing uses. I think in terms of an unfolding in my life - as the years move on and I grow more herbs, find more uses for them and depend on them for more in my life - their presence deepens along with that experience.

This cleanse I am currently on has been exceptional in many ways (it is probably the deepest one so far) and in terms of herbs, they seem to have travelled even further into my system fine tuning body functions as they go.

During some of my Yoga sessions I can sense them very strongly - they are communicating not only with each other, but with me on an outward level. One of the most profound functions of herbal medicine (or energy medicine as I refer to it) is the way they interact with us on an inter-dimensional level.

Only our food, of which herbs are classed are able to fully operate in this way - deep within our organs, tissues and cells. Anything else that enters in to these spaces and places has committed a crime against nature and will cause damage to these delicate systems.

It would be like pouring chemicals down a drain - they are simply not supposed to be there. Whereas herbs are part of the overall natural order of the Universe and cause no harm. Our other dimensions are facets, faces and aspects of ourselves we often ignore or pay little attention to.

Yet they exist, are necessary and indeed part our spiritual and energetic function.

Do yourself a favour, use herbs in your food and as teas for healing, uplifting and balancing your life - you will soon experience a difference inside and out.

Walking The Talk - Natural Healing

I don't often write (anymore) about some of the issues I hold closest to my heart - at least not like I used to, perhaps I feel that there are already so many people out there speaking out right now - and I no longer need to lend my voice to the cause.

Then some days I realize that a lot of these voices are not quite where they should be and not coming from the level of integrity that I would expect (or hope) to find within some of these causes. That's one main issue, then there is the double edge or convoluting of the message, or to put it more clearly, people trying to have it both ways.

I used to know people who told me they went to a church not because they believed in anything that was being talked about, but because they wanted to cover all their bases. Just in the off chance that they were wrong about their own lives and beliefs, then they had their foot firmly in each door. 

When it comes to health, healing and your higher consciousness - no situation such as this will work for very long. You cannot live in two camps - follow two masters and sing from two distinctly different books. Unless of course you are completely deluding yourself. In which case, carry on, this article will not be of much use to you. 

Let me explain....

Very early on in my 'wake up call' I was told in no uncertain terms by my body that this was a one way path. There was absolutely no room for sitting on a fence watching the world go by and wishing or thinking or kidding myself into believing I was firmly on one side or the other.

When it comes to the fundamental basics of life you simply cannot do things half way. In this broadest sense of these words you are either with the program or not at all. Because, once again just like with the food you are eating, you cannot fool your body into anything.

Bearing this in mind walk with me into the pharmaceutical world - of course there are many natural pharmaceuticals such as garlic, nettle, dandelion (natural herbs) and commonly known healers that are here for our exclusive use as food and such. Then we have the synthetics - some substance made in a lab, considered 'safe' for human use under certain circumstances and to be used according to instructions..

Taking part in both of these systems seems to now be the national pastime - I will use herbs to heal, then chemicals to push down, then good food to detox and dirty water to wash it all away. Do you see where I am coming from? You cannot trick your body into anything - it is a very sophisticated bio-energetic system capable of recognizing and detecting the smallest change in compounds and structures.

Concoctions with the vibration of a building, carry the energetic signature of the people, corporation, and machinery where it was made. Not to mention their individual and collective intention, fears and negativity which pass readily into any manmade highly processed substance. 

In nature, a plant such as the dandelion carries no such extra baggage (unless it has been sprayed by chemicals) and it's only intention is to do exactly what it was designed to do. Heal, feed, nourish, uplift, detox, clear and any other uses your body can find for it. 

To take such a gift and then chase it down with an aberration completely unrelated to compounds your body might recognize as healing compounds would be counter productive to say the very least. At the outset you are not doing yourself any favors - one will cancel out the other and in fact, the synthetic medicine will interfere with all your body needs to accomplish with the herb. 

If we are feeling unwell - inflammation, infection, virus or anything in between - by following a clean diet, drinking natural unprocessed water and using these herbs regularly, we can and will overcome anything. However, we cannot use more then one system and expect to heal, help or encourage positive results in our bodies for very long. 

It is exactly the same with higher consciousness, religion or whatever you are attempting to do in your life - pick your path, then follow it with everything you have in you, to do otherwise will not take you anywhere significant.

5 Things to Do Today - on Your Spiritual Path

Let's face it, there are many of us walking along on this path inwards as we reach for our own higher consciousness - and every day is different. However, for some it can seem as if each task, every day, to achieve anything significant takes an enormous amount of effort.

And it does - there is opposition, resistance, negativity and all sorts of fear to be overcome as we move along these shores. At times, it may appear as if we forget to live each day, we have been so focused on just following and listening.

There are times when you need to relax a little and re-ground your energies into each new level of reality as it is reached. Perhaps to take some time out for yourself every day, just to centre and remember who you are and why you are doing this.

I have listed a few things I have found to help me remain focused on the path, but also which remind me to allow this journey to be the life I am living. Completely.

1. Plan something fun or just do something you enjoy doing. If you have children, play with them or follow their lead, they always find something to do and make it entertaining. You can paint, draw, play a game, draw a hopscotch outside, swing, lie in the sun, colour a picture, read a funny book and laugh at yourself. 

2. I don't know about you, but being in the garden, planting and digging in the soil are some of my favourite past times. Today, get some seeds and plant a herb garden - if it's too late to do that outside, use pots or plant them inside. I like to plant seeds in stages - about a week or 10 days apart, so that I have a steady supply of some of my most used ones. I do this with coriander and basil especially. Parsley grows really well outside and is prolific, it will grow over the winter in a warmer spot (shelter from the wind) and you can get a good amount of herb from each plant for your cooking.

3. Why not plan a fast or better still, do not eat anything else today. Choose instead to sip on clean spring or well water, clear herbal teas with lemon and nothing else as you go about your day. For the next 24 hours or so, you can give your digestion a little break, flush out some toxins and revive your system. You will not only feel better, but will rehydrate your skin and have a clear, focused mind.

4. Even if you exercise already, why not do something different today? Instead of your same old routine start a new one, or break your session up into 2 or 3 mini sessions throughout the day. This keeps your metabolism boosted, oxygenates your brain and helps with concentration and mindfulness. Try a run-walk-jog for about 10 minutes - sprinting for 30 seconds or so every couple of minutes...your body will thank you.

5. Write. Record your journey or your day. Write down your dreams, your ideas and thoughts, start a new journal or diary. Choose a beautiful journal (or better still make one) and keep it for yourself - make this a part of your own special time. Your time to reflect on who you are and all you are doing to get back to yourself. 

Today is a great day to get started on doing more for yourself, deepen and enrich your own life as you follow your path inwards. Have a healthy day,

April

Spiritual Detox Part 2

This subject may never be finished, there is still much that needs to be said and as I mentioned before it has been mulling around my mind for such a long time, this entire theme of toxicity of spirit. There are deeper issues here that are affecting each one of us who are walking this path, while some of them are making us sick.

Two of which are spiritual jealousy and spiritual competitiveness - each of these in turn probably arrive together and derive from similar sources. However, both are equally nasty and damaging (to the extreme) of the energy field creating large rips or tears especially along the back of the body.

I would go so far as to say that if to be envious of someone else can be likened to sending dark magic their way, to be resentful and bitter regarding someone's spirituality can be compared to embedding a curse deep within their energy field which festers away until recognized and removed.

One of the main problems here is that even though we may know a darkness is carried or buried in the field, most people are unaware of how to remove or disassemble it. And indeed it takes some doing - this is not as simple as drinking a herbal remedy (although herbs can play a large role) nor can it be shifted by someone else.

This is what I want to address here mainly, far more then anything else on your spiritual journey, is that you must come to rely upon yourself for your own healing, body care and take full responsibility for all that you are and want to become. 

No one other than you can do this on your behalf, in the exact same way that no one else can fix you, shift you or walk your path. They may be able to point you in the right direction, however, when it comes down to the actual physical work of your spirit - be it removal of a curse or aligning with higher consciousness, your body already knows how to do this, any 'assistance' might cause more harm then good. 

So how does this relate back to spiritual competitiveness and jealousy - quite simple really, there are those out there who are ready to step into action the moment you start to believe you can't do this on your own. They might offer help and guidance by way of most often bizarre rituals involving the soul which are said to help you with your journey in some way.

To be honest with you, if someone starts mentioning working on another person's soul, dreams, life force, or anything deeper then the immediate energy field, I would run the other way. There is not one of us on the planet with permission to tamper so deeply with another person. 

Once such a person has been granted access to your inner blueprint this is dangerous ground - in my experience there are those who want what they see and will then stop at nothing to take it. They have placed themselves into positions of power where access to other people is easy and anyone perceived as a threat can be dealt with severely. 

I know, this is not the 'love and light' subject normally brought up during discussions on higher consciousness - however, these things are real, they are happening and even though this is unpleasant, it still must be talked about. 

With this blog in particular, my promise has always been to tell it like it is and to call out the truth of each and every situation that we may find ourselves in. That is what I have been writing about for quite some time in my books and now, if you are reading this and wondering why, perhaps it is time to ask yourself about your own level of protection. 

Your spirit or soul is the most precious commodity you own, guard it with your life.

April 

Think about it...

Today is the 4th of July which doesn't mean so much to me not being from the US, however, it is a well known holiday the world over and it has everything to do with freedom or at least the concept of freedom for many people.

But what does being free really mean and why should it be so important to us, especially those of us walking a path to higher consciousness? As usual when I am investigating a word I look it up - and here is some of what I found for the word freedom or free.

freedom - the ability to remain true to yourself, the power to think, act or speak as one wants without hindrance or fear of restraint. If we just narrow our focus and look at these meanings for this word, I don't think that many of us are free or even fully understanding how serious it is that we are not free.

Supposedly everyone is free in our society and that often equates to being free to make something of yourself and the freedom to be treated equally and fairly. Yet, there are so many constraints placed on us by others beliefs and fears that we have incorporated them as our own. 

Why should this matter to us who want something better for our lives such as eating better, living consciously and using herbs as medicine for example? You may have noticed that some people get nervous when they realize you follow a healthy eating plan or that you choose to use herbs to keep your body well and fit. 

One of the main reasons for this is their belief system or the lifestyle they have bought into and will follow to their often early grave. Which is great and fine for them - so what does this have to do with anyone else?

What you may have noticed is that so often these people are 'free' to impose, comment, push and dictate their ideas of health, eating, life etc. onto others, however, when something does not agree with their philosophy no such freedom exists for other opinions. 

This matters to those of us walking a higher path, because as long as you remain silent or even in company of these people, you are influenced by them and held back on your journey in several ways by this association of fear. 

You may meet people who live life with one foot firmly in both camps. They want their herbs and the chemical cocktail of drugs just to be on the safe side. Safe side of what I am not sure! There are still others who live a healthy lifestyle 60 or 70% of the time while the rest of the week they eat pure rubbish and what is worse feed it to their children. 

All of these people are living in a bubble of their own making which will eventually burst with their body responding negativity to any amount of poor food and chemicals or drugs. As long as it doesn't affect me, you might say? Well, it does affect us when we allow ourselves to feel intimidated by the opinions of others and do not exercise our own right to freedom.

Something to think about,

Have a nice day,

April

And We Did It!!

Another successful 10 day Master Cleanse has been completed and you know what? The first thing that I started planning was my next one for July....so it must not have been that bad after all. LOL

It was a strange night though perhaps because of the time of the year - I woke up around 3:30 or so and say a clear sky that never really got overly dark - so I got up deciding to watch the sunrise. By 4am, everyone else was up too and we were drinking our smoothies and talking about these past few days of our cleanse. In years to come I will remember this - the same way that I have always remembered the sun not setting but just dipping slightly below the horizon on these same few nights of the year when I lived in Labrador as a child.

Right now the sun is shining and we are all busy in the garden catching up with the weeding while getting some more seedlings planted which have been hardening off. And the MC is already fading into memory.

From where I sit right now, this was one of the most significant cleanses I have ever done and a tough one this time round too. They talk about mental toughness in sport, that this is a frame of mind you can develop which gives you an edge and can even boost your skill. I think that this is what has been improving for me as well.

To check in with how things stand after 10 days of liquids - lost 7 lbs, increased flexibility, improved attitude and it feels as if my mind has an even sharper edge. My thinking is clear, focused and the project that I am working on has really taken shape. I definitely feel as if a huge layer of toxins has been lifted once again and I am really looking forward to this weekends' Mid Summer Celebrations.

The summer Solstice is on this coming Wednesday and Thursday with a new moon, one of my favorite times of the year and I am really looking forward to the party (most of all the food!). I even have a few new recipes to try out this year, so a good few days of cooking and eating are most welcome.  

I am posting a couple of photos of this morning's early sky over Leap (in case you missed it!!)

Have a lovely day, see you tomorrow,

April

Now Half Way There!

Today is the start of day five and it already promises to be another good day. We got a few things done yesterday - as is par for the course when doing a cleanse, as you work far more efficiently and of course a little faster.

As is usual for me, I am cleaning all sorts of things - inside and out. So I spent the morning cleaning things that needed to be sorted out and then out to the garden for some more weeding. Then, once I started in on the garden I stumbled across an ant hill which had to be carefully moved - very telling for a family doing a cleanse! Removing weeds and things that do not belong in the garden (the shadow self). 

I am feeling pretty good overall - a little sore this morning after all the bending, kneeling and moving things around with the weeding. However, I am far more positive today as I know that I really came through a huge detox cycle in the last two days or so. This is how it always seems to work, big detox cycle, the a small rest, then another big push inside the body to get another deep layer out.

And I am so pleased with having made a huge connection from these old energetic patterns in my life to the time I spent working in a place where I was treated horribly and felt bullied. Hopefully now some other big chunk of that old way of thinking/feeling is behind me.

A Master Cleanse is deep, this is hard work, it is ten days of intense focus and scrutiny on your inner being, emotional, spiritual, energetic, and physical patterns. Then allowing your body the time and space for these to move and come to the surface - while you listen, watch and work with all that surfaces.

To say that this can be the biggest commitment and perhaps one of the most important things that you might ever do, would be an understatement. Each of these has changed my life - a few days at a time and moved me to higher ground. 

I would not trade the time spent detoxing, fasting and cleansing for anything. Yes, it can be tough. I have days which are absolutely grueling. However, I had far worse in my life when I was eating poorly, feeling unwell and could not see the light at the end of each tunnel. 

With each MC, I am choosing my battles and the place where they will play out - and I am entirely in charge. This is all about power, change and taking back control of my life from the inside out.

Something to think about....
