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 :-)
