just a wee reminder to for food cOMbinations - help with your juicing :-)

Feelin' Juicy...

I am so into juicing - I just love to juice my veggies and have in the morning after my tumeric tea. I usually have my juice after my meditation to really wake up all my senses and feed my soul....

So I thought I'd share with you sOMe of my favourite juices!

feelin' a little green...

celery (I use all th etime as it's cleansing) 

apple (gala best)

thick slice of Lime

spinach leaves

cucumber

teaspoon of wheatgrass (optional)

deeply cleansing and remeber green is the colour for the heart chakra - anahata

earthy goodness ~ beets the blues!

beetroot (yummy earthiness)

celery (again)

cucumber

apple

lime

ginger (foor the tang)

carrot

Fresh juice provides us with minerals, vitamins, essential fatty acids, carbohydrates, proteins and so much more. All of these factors are vital to maintaining good health for the body mind and soul. If you make fresh juice a daily part of your diet, you will have increased energy, a glowing complexion, strengthened immune system, stronger bones and a reduced risk of disease. plus it's a great way to get your 5 a day in easily and plenty of veggies too instead of fruit.


I do love a fresh squeezed pur pineapple juice, but my veggies of celery and cucumber rock!


try it... you wont look back! it'll get your juices going...

Moon Maiden Ventures

Namaste

I'm a cancerian moon maiden and the monthly cycles of the moon effect me in varying degrees.

This week (18th June 2012) feels very special to me....having just cOMpleted a miraciously enLIGHTening journey teaching the chakras it's seems apt that this week is a New Moon for my first class and then a few days later the Summer Solstice - wow dark n light in one week marked Universally. and to end my week I am hosting an Urban Yoga Day Retreat themed Through Empowerment, Expand Your Edge and Evolve... I am feeling immense Gratitude at this time :)

The New Moon Meaning

The moon is connected with a person's emotional make-up, your unconscious habits, your rhythms, your moods and memories. It is also associated with the mother,for example your maternal instincts or the urge to nurture. the moon is linked to the home, and the past. - ahh that's why I am such a hOMe loving creature.

The New Moon is a time for renewal, rebirth, on all levels; physical, emotional, mental, spiritual. It's when you can choose to bring a newness to relationships, projects or even renew an existing relationship breathing new life and love into it, or renew a project that somehow life had pulled you away from. The New Moon is a time for awakening or re-awakening and sowing the seeds and onSERVE how they evolve as the moon emerges full...

My New Week

So having cOMpleted the chakras series, I feel alive, embracing the full spectrum of life and this week is a real special start of my personal intentions for my life. 

Tomorrow's New Moon's has given light for me to embrace my darker side within with love and to turn inside and reflect. I've been circular in my yoga practice, practicing Chandra Namaskars and being more fluid, rhythmical to awaken and give birth to new ideas and to nurture the whole of me, BEing present in the mOMent. For when I am grounded, awakened it allows me to offer more to the worls and those I encounter

My invitation to you - take this time of the cycle of the moon which turns dark to go inwards, meditate, do sOMe pranayama and reflect on what you would like to bring to fruition. Plant the seeds now through your intention and watch them grow over the next month.... think and dream big

The New Moon is a magical time of beginnings, when you can recharge goals, or set new ones.

 

Have a great week!

My next blog will be on my magical trip to Stonehenge for the Summer Solstice :-)

the end of the journey or is it the beginning?

we shall not cease frOM exploration & the end of all our exploring will BE to arrive where we started & know the place for the first time ~ T.S Elliot

Over the weeks we've journeyed together in the vehicle of our indvidual bodies to sOMe enLIGHTening places and now we've arrived at the last chakra of the body Sahasrara ~ the Crown Chakra ~ all about consciousness, thought, unity, awakening, meditation. 

We've journeyed we've moved together as a cOMmUNITY so you experience the infinite at the gateway of the Divine; Sahasrara. YOU've removed the blockages to dwell in the unity of Divine consciousness and awakening to all that is. Moving up the chakras towards unity, liberation and the infinite does have its challenges; day to day tasks pull you away from fulfilling liberation, thank heavens for Yoga, meditatiom, pranayama as this is time to allow you to re-connect, to experience and retunr to Oneness, to unity to nourish your body, mind, heart and soul.

I invite you to let the Divine be invited in, flow through you ~ let yourSelf invite the Divine in and lovingly receive it with every fibre and cell of your entire BEing as you awakening to and witness your own limitless nature...

Use the sacred temple of your body and go inside and meditate, breathe, then bring the meditations to motion in the vinyasas so every asana BEcOMes a prayer frOM the heart of bodily temple so every alignment serves you to the highest and enCOURAGEs you to open your Crown to the infinite and dance with the Divine

you with me?

Anja Chakra - look within to clarify your vision for your life...

Anja is all about clarity, vision, intuition so through the practice I invite you to shift your perception and your perspective into cOMplete loving acceptance so that you are able to obSERVE more frOM withIN.

The meditation is to synchronise the breath and the movement of the vinyasa so the flow becOMes a deLIGHTful expression of your inner radiance, join me in delving deeper into your inner world of dreams and intuition and discover what you SEEk is already withIN...

Anja Chakra means to perceive. Your 3rd eye SEEks the Divine in everything, it is your inner screen,vast storehouse of images  for visual thinking

do you have a guiding vision for you life?

where do you see light in your life?

See yourself in your own Light... Allow your body, mind, heart to be bathed in the light of acceptance just as you are...

Namaste
