the dangers of commercial laundry detergent; why it is bad for the environment and why it is bad for our bodies

The facts are so plain and simple – we do not need commercial detergent anywhere near our own or our family’s skin and we do not need it polluting our environment any longer! Whilst I was researching my liver detox, I read about the dangers of everyday chemicals in our homes and was absolutely astounded to … Continue reading »

what I am eating right now is affected by the sun and moon

I have just been reading a great post over at Jack Kruse (thanks Dexter) about circadian rhythms and seasonal eating. Although there is a lot of science contained on this site, I believe that the basic premise rings true: we should be eating like our ancestors ate because even though our brains have changed to … Continue reading »

after reading the shamanic way of the bee by simon buxton I need to write something down about it

Not really a review as such, but just an appreciation. I am not sure whether the things that Buxton writes about in the book are true. The details of his gruelling apprenticeship along the path of pollen such as killing a stag with nothing but bee pollen, flying on broomsticks and being buried alive seem … Continue reading »

What have we lost from our ancestors?

Some Inuit looked into the aurora borealis, or northern lights, to find images of their family and friends dancing in the next life. For others they were invisible giants, the souls of animals, a guide to hunting and as a spirit for the angakkuq to help with healing. They relied upon these shamans for spiritual interpretation. The nearest … Continue reading »

I am awake again (my bimodal sleep pattern)

I am awake blogging at 2 a.m. and I want to know why. I searched on the internet and found out it is called segmented sleep, divided sleep, bimodal sleep or interrupted sleep and I have slowly started to experience it since coming here to live in the mountains. Bimodal sleep is composed of two … Continue reading »

balancing internal acidity and alkalinity, I was still confused – until this morning

When I first started writing this blog I was very eager to balance the acidity in my body. At that time I thought it was absolutely crucial for the body to become as alkaline as possible, at all costs. I faithfully read the p.H. of my urine and saliva everyday to track my status, I … Continue reading »

what really makes us happy? being thankful

one thing my husband is so amazing at doing is thanking me for what I do. He thanks me every day with sincerity and passion in one way or another and not just for the obvious things like a nice meal, but for things that he has noticed I have done in a certain way; … Continue reading »

three wonderful things about today

As I walked out this morning at dawn, the snow allowed me a little snapshot of the visitors who had already passed through our village: three dogs, the farmer and a cat. The smile on my daughter’s face as she hurtled down the ski slope in full control. The coconut rice I made for the … Continue reading »

how I am resetting my body according to sunrise, sunset and the seasons

I have always been very keen to live by the seasons and live according to the sun, I know that our exquisite metabolic balance depends on it. For a while now, I have been taking a stroll outside at dawn and dusk. This is so that natural light falls on my eyes in these transition times … Continue reading »

day three of the kidney cleanse and I am boiling up my tea right now

The tea contains the following herbs: marjoram, cat’s claw, comfrey root, fennel seed, chicory herb, uva ursi, hydrangea root, gravel root, marshmallow root and golden rod. According to Andreas Moritz’s ‘Amazing LIver and Gallbladder Flush’, this tea helps to break down kidney blockages caused by dehydration, poor diet, weak digestion (liver) or stress. If I … Continue reading »

I have found the best way so far to refine my diet is by writing a food journal

Every single day for the last month I have written everything down in a diary; every piece of food I have eaten and every time I have eaten it. This is because I have come to learn that after reading so many conflicting diet stories in books, I know that actually, the buck stops at … Continue reading »

I hate to see people who are coughing, not because they are smokers, but because they have colds that settle on their chests which cannot be shifted.

My husband has ‘caught’ a cold from a co-worker who has a terrible cough. I am not unduly concerned about catching it myself, as I understand now that colds are just toxicity crises; some people catch them, some people don’t. It all depends on how much stress the body is coping with at any one … Continue reading »

I have been thinking about my emotions, my beliefs and my thoughts today

I have been thinking about my emotions, my beliefs and my thoughts today. I realise that (as I have been told so many times) they all have so much power over my body. No matter what my illness, no matter what state my body is in, my emotions and my thoughts will have the final … Continue reading »

I have just spent the last few hours wrapped up in

I have just spent the last few hours wrapped up in a blanket in front of the fire reading ‘The Shamanic Way of the Bee’ by Simon Buxton. I have been putting off reading this book for the longest time, just because of the Amazon reviews (some of them were so negative) but I am … Continue reading »

it is now day 14 of the parasite cleanse and I feel not really any different

it is now day 14 of the parasite cleanse and I feel……not really any different! I have been changing my diet quite a bit in the last couple of weeks after finding out that my metabolic type is mixed, I have been tweaking my protein and carb intake and swapping around my largest meal of … Continue reading »

three wonderful things about today

I went down a HUGE hill on cross-country skis and stayed UPRIGHT! My man said he was proud of me. I made the best batch of coconut cookies yet.

it is nice to see that someone cares about cell phone emissions

I live in France and I have a french cell phone, I try to use it as little as possible. It sits on the windowsill in the kitchen, otherwise I cannot pick up any signal. I turn it off at night and I always use the speaker phone. I had no idea that my phone … Continue reading »

There is always a danger time during the day when I get grumpy with the kids

There is always a danger time during the day when I get grumpy with the kids. Most of the time is is between 4 and 5 p.m. just after that mid afternoon slump, before the evening meal and when I feel that my energy is at the lowest ebb. Sometimes, if I am rushing to … Continue reading »

So, this hair dye allergy, it came out of the blue

So, this hair dye allergy, it came out of the blue. I have never had a reaction to dyes before, I studied textiles at college and was forever up to my elbows in pots of synthetic fabric dye but I have never had salon dye on my hair before and apparently it is much stronger … Continue reading »

The idea of living according to life’s …

The idea of living according to life’s circadian rhythms has really been paying off for me in the last six weeks I have been practising it. The phases move in 4-hourly cycles throughout the day. From 6-10 a.m. is the cleansing time. If I am asleep in a dark room by 10 p.m. (the end … Continue reading »

After reading diet book after diet book …

After reading diet book after diet book after diet book I have come to the conclusion that we shouldn’t actually follow any diet book at all. Each one seems to contradict the other. I have read about people thriving on vegan food, building up sexy bodies on paleo food and living well on anything and … Continue reading »

today saw me laid up with a little yoga injury

Today saw me laid up with a little injury sustained from yoga. Yesterday, I was a little too aggressive with the water wheel, I am afraid. I pulled a muscle in my groin. Yuk. No cross-country skiing either for me today. Instead I went to a friend’s house, let the kids play and sat and … Continue reading »

I have been reading the book Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush by Andreas Moritz

I have been reading the book Amazing Liver and Gallbladder Flush by Andreas Moritz. I was led to him initially because I was told I had parasites in my stomach. I reckon I had picked these up when I lived in China in 1996, but apparently, according to Dr. Hulda Clark, you can pick them … Continue reading »

I have been practising creative flow vinyasa yoga with Shiva Rea for the past 6 weeks and I have really been able to enhance my energy and get the ol’ joints moving again. I love the flow and the creativity, it is one step away from dancing, actually – I make sure that I do … Continue reading »

So, I have many things to share with you, things about the detoxing program I am going through at the moment and the changes in food consumption I have made, just to really ‘fine tune’ my diet a little. It is difficult to know where to start but start I will………more soon. p.s. if you … Continue reading »
