Forgiveness about past choices of eating.

Today was about love and forgiveness.

A great tip if you feel guilty about your past choices of eating, or if you feel stuck with your health. Try this:

Saying to yourself, I'm sorry, I love you, I forgive you, we've got this, I love you. 

The power of loving yourself can boost your immune system and overall health. 

Then eat something really high in nutrition and know you are nourishing your body because you love yourself. A green juice, beet juice or even a lemon water can help.

When we eat poison, it's no wonder why we feel bad about ourselves and our body! 

When we eat real nourishing foods we know we are doing the right thing. 

You can do it! I'm doing it and its a process. If I can do it so can you! 

Remember there is an abundance of recipes available free now on my website www.theearthdiet.com

Today I cleansed my system with liquids only. It felt good to reset.

So no matter what you eat, or do, keep saying I love you I forgive you, I love you I forgive you.

Tip for absorbing nutrients through your skin!

Hi everyone! 

Yesterday was my very first ALL YOU CAN EAT Earth Diet event! It was a great success and people LOVED the food! I was making food for 3 days. Here is what was on the menu and this is a great idea for the holidays that are coming up including Thanksgiving, people have been asking me what they can make so here are my ideas:

Drinks:

Ginger tea 

Beet juice 

Green juice 

Lemon water

Main dishes:

Turmeric rice 

Cumin Quinoa 

Bean Burgers 

Zuchinni spaghetti with bean bolognaise sauce 

Superfood kale salad 

Desserts:

Cashew Cheesecake 

Mini cheesecakes

Chocolate balls 

Chocolate peanut butter cups 

People especially loved the Bean Burgers as they replace meat burgers for a lot of people. That recipe will be in the new book next year! The favorite was the Cheesecake, it blows people's mind how it is made with nondairy and no sugar! 

Recipes are available free on the website www.theearthdiet.com and are also in the original book which you have until February to get and then it's discontinued! 

You can see photos from my event here: http://www.theearthdiet.blogspot.com/2013/11/354-days-to-book-launch.html?m=1

Talk about nourishment for holiday season. There is really no need to poison ourselves! Ever! 

One of the beautiful women who came,  Rita has cancer and it hurts her tremendously to swallow. I suggested instead of eating foods through her mouth, she could eat foods through her skin, our skin is the largest organ after all. 

So here is a tip in absorbing nutrients through your skin:

1. Bathe in lemon water to absorb vitamin c and alkalize your body, very refreshing 

2. Bathe in green juice, phresh greens or even just cucumber for green nutrients

3. Bathe in bentonite clay for minerals and to absorb toxins from your skin 

4. Bathe in aloe Vera 

5. I also suggested if she is craving chocolate instead if eating it she could rub cacao butter over her skin.

6. Also to absorb good fats and oils you can rub coconut oil or olive oil over your body. 

Those are some helpful tips if you are sick of eating, or if eating is currently hurting you, and remember eating through your mouth is not the only option. Everything you put on your skin, your skin is absorbing and your body is eating too! 

Enjoy the nourishment! Remember health is paradise.

Do you want it VS do you need it?

Today was great. My blog today is about:

Do you want it?  VS Do you need it?

My morning today started with book signing! I got to sign some more original books while they are available until February! I am running a promotion that if you order an original Earth Diet book before November 14th I will sign your copy :) Hay House are releasing The Earth Diet book in October 2014 so I will discontinue my original self published version. More information here: http://www.theearthdiet.org/book.html

Then I went to Wild By Nature in Huntington to receive a generous donation of ingredients they have supplied me with for my event the Earth Diet "ALL YOU CAN EAT" hosted by Jean Weiss at her Wellness Home. As we picked it up, Sal who works with The Earth Diet looked at all the produce they gave us and said "Thats wild... " and then added ..."wild by nature!" once he realized how great the title of their store is!!! Wild by Nature!!! haha we laughed and are loving how much fresh glorious food they donated to me to feed people in Huntington!

At the ALL YOU CAN EAT event I am making recipes from the original book and also new recipes that are in the new book published by Hay House next year! I love how there are so many more organic stores and organic products becoming more and more accessible to us! Today though, I did see a Canola oil that had a USDA Organic label AND a NON-GMO project label, and I am sad to say this but absolutely no canola oil is organic, it is a new genetically modified product from something that is already genetically modified. It is the first time I have seen the Non-Gmo label on something inauthentic. I know so many of these companies start out with a great mission of being healthy and nourishing people but then they sell themselves to a larger co-orporation whose first objective is to make money. Then there is no value ad quality in the product anymore. Soon they will learn that PEOPLE WANT QUALITY. If you ever see me promoting canola oil you will know I sold out ;) So I posted on facebook about trusting the food and companies you buy. Only buy it if you trust it and use your intuition. Do research on the internet about gmo's and canola oil and see if it's right for you. To me, it's just gross! haha!

Dream come true! Today I got to play with all of these ingredients to make an abundance of recipes from the Earth Diet book! This is what I love to do!

Today I prepared for the event by making Cashew Cheesecake, and Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups andddd Almond Butter Cups AND mini cheesecakes! 

Earth Diet Cashew Cheesecake

Earth Diet Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups

Earth Diet Mini Cheesecakes

My very first ALL YOU CAN EAT event! Excited!

As I was making all the food today, I was listening to fellow Hay House Author Suze Orman on youtube, she has empowering books and resources for loving money and respecting it. She is like the health advocate for the money arena, the healthy money lady! She has created a powerful relationship for herself around money, just like what I have done with food! What I took away from listening to her most was relating to my consumption, and I asked myself how many times I purchase something because "I want it" or because "I need it.". Suze recommends only buying something when we need it vs wanting it. It got me thinking about our food choices, and how much I eat because "I want to eat it" vs "I need to eat." I can see when I eat from I want it, rather than needing it. I do realize that if we eat because we need it, not because we want it, we would all be much slimmer, healthier, sustainable and resourceful. I am going to be super mindful of this moving forward with my eating habits. When I was 16 and started to binge eat on junk food (which I talk about in my very first blog ever HERE), I ate junk food because I had strong cravings of 'wanting it'. I certainly did not need it, I would not die from not eating junk foods. But I was not able to have that thought process of 'I don't need it" when I had my cravings. Now I have more control. Well I have all the control don't I? I literally get to choose what goes in my mouth and what doesn't!

So my request is this... every time YOU eat, will you ask yourself "Do I want this?" or "Do I need this?" And only eat if you need it. Chances are you will eat a lot less, and also only eat foods that provide your body with nutrition. And even if you eat only from the need more often than the want, I am sure you will notice great results in your health and well being. I am accepting this request for myself! I already got up to get a Mini Chesecake I made today and eat it, but I thought I definitely want this, I don't need it! And I feel empowered with my choice to not eat it. I went in the infrared sauna instead! And I will be eating plenty of cheesecake at my event on the weekend haha! I want to be the most sustainable resourceful human being I can be. Being wasteful and excessive is not cool.

This afternoon as I finished up making my cheesecakes we were gifted with a beautiful double rainbow - WOW I have never seen such a perfect rainbow in my life! My camera did not do justice but you can still feel the magic.

Tips for ALLERGIES.

Yesterday I was sneezing a lot and today I woke up sneezing and my nose was irritating me. I mean sneezing and sneezing over again that it became so annoying and then it would stop for 5 minutes and then start again. It felt like allergies. Not that I have consistent allergies but something happened the past two days to have me sneezing and having an irritated nose. Whatever caused it, I obviously wanted to relieve it and be at ease.

Here is what I did, and can be helpful for other people with allergies: 

1. I drank green tea and then used the warm tea bags and patted them under my eyes. Ahhh what a relief it felt so nice. This is also good for people who have dark circles under their eyes which I had this morning.  

2. I chewed on some raw ginger. 

3. I drank bentonite clay. 

4. I drank phresh greens.

5. I ate roasted onion and garlic. 

6. I drank apple cider vinegar 

7. I ate raw cucumber 

8. I did a bentonite clay mask. 

9. I drank green juice with collard greens. 

Here is a great recipe for green juice: 

http://www.theearthdiet.org/3/post/2012/11/green-juice.html

All of these actions added a lot of nutrition in my body. I felt like the ginger and green tea settled the discomfort. And the ginger and phresh greens kicked out the toxins. The green juice energized my body and affirmed that I nourish my body daily! 

If we look at why I was experiencing symptoms of sneezing, running nose, red nose, blocked nose, dark eyes, I could say, it could be that I was stressed about a situation and or there was dust in my environment and that's it's now fall season. 

Natural news has this great article, 8 foods that fight allergies, which are citrus fruits, red grapes, broccoli, collard greens, nuts, apples, fish, onion and garlic. 

http://m.naturalnews.com/news/041019_allergies_healing_foods_home_remedies.html

It's obvious to me what causes allergies; stress, heavy metals and dust in the environment, change of season, toxic food, processed food, gluten, excess sugar and gluten, too many toxins in body, acidic body, too much of one food, and genetically modified foods. Is this obvious to you also? I know it's becoming more and more known that a natural lifestyle like the Earth Diet gives us a consistently healthy lifestyle. 

I created a powerful affirmation to allow myself to relax, even though I'm having these symptoms all is well and I love and accept myself. Louise Hay is queen of affirmations and has one for everything! 

Now it's night time and I haven't sneezed all day and am feeling much clearer :)

Healing ACNE.

Today I had a pimple come out on my forward in between my eyebrows and one above my chin. From what I have learned from Ayurvedic practices and Chinese Medicine is that my forehead spots are related to liver and my chin spots are related to digestive system.

I realize my body always shows me signs of what it needs attention, love and healing too. So I decided to nourish my liver and digestive system today.

To nourish my liver I did this: 

1. I drank lots of water.

2. I drank lemon water.

3. I drank herbal tea.
4. I drank diatomaceous earth.
5. I drank Phresh Greens. 

To nourish my digestive system I did this:

1. I rested and allowed my body to relaxed. A stressed lifestyle creates a stressed digestive system. 

2. I drank aloe Vera juice.
3. I ate garlic.
4. I ate beans.

Here are some Earth Diet bean recipes (and a new Bean Burger recipe will be in the new book - it is OMG divine!)
1. Lima Bean Pea Curry http://www.theearthdiet.org/19/post/2013/08/lima-bean-pea-curry.html

2. Sweet Potato White Bean Wrap http://www.theearthdiet.org/21/post/2013/10/sweet-potato-white-bean-wrap.html By Emily Rose Shaw, Earth Diet Mentor for Personalized Programs. 

3. Potato and Bean Salad http://www.theearthdiet.org/18/post/2013/07/potato-and-bean-salad.html by Chizelle who is also an Earth Diet mentor!

I also did a bentonite clay face mask. I have been using bentonite clay since I was 21 (5 years). I started using it externally on my tumor to draw toxins and to acknowledge my body that I was conscious of healing that area. I also started drinking it then, and having clay baths. The thing I love about bentonite clay is that it is totally natural to the earth, it is formed by volcanic ash and has incredible healing properties. Once the clay is applied to the skin, or drank, it absorbs toxins/parasites/worms and heavy metals and draws it into it's antibodies. Then once the clay leaves the body, so do the toxins! It is the best face masks I have ever had, and you can feel it powerfully pulling stuff out of your skin when it's on. It is like natures botox. I always recommend people who smoke and drink alcohol to drink the clay daily, to absorb those toxins and balance it out. People say they immediately feel calmer, more relaxed and focused as soon as they drink it. It's great for hangovers too. Bentonite clay is natural to a lot of parts around the world including Australia and USA, and remember it's always better to source products that are local to you. So if you are in USA go for Redmond clay and in Australia go for Australian Healing Clay. Both are available on my site here http://www.theearthdiet.org/bentonite-clay.html and you get a free downloadable Earth Diet program with your purchase. Another thing I love about the clay is that it is one of the least expensive health food/beauty products on the market. I met the owner of the USA clay deposit, he believes the clay is here for our healing during this time of heavy metals and toxins and there is enough for everyone for another 1,000 years. I believe it is here to help us transition from a chemical lifestyle to a natural one.

Nature provides us with everything we need! Even clay for face masks!

Louise Hay, author of "Heal Your Life" says that acne is caused by not accepting the self, dislike of self. She also believes that liver issues are the sea of anger and primitive emotions, chronic complaining, feeling bad and justifying fault-finding to deceive yourself.

Louise believes intestine issues represent assimilation and absorption.

So affirmations that helped today were: Even though I am having these pimples, and these feelings, especially of frustration, I love and accept myself. I know all is well and I love you.

Italian Earth Diet Food!

Tonight I made dinner for a friends parents. They are Italian. I wanted to make them food that they are used to, but Earth Diet style! So no processed pasta, no cheese, no dairy, no soy, no bleached flour! Just real ingredients tasting real good :)

So I created a menu:

1. Garlic Bread

This is a bread recipe that my mum made up. It does have gluten but it can also be made with rice flour or buckwheat for a gluten free option. I made the bread rolls, and then to make them into garlic bread I made a sauce with olive oil, garlic and salt and coated the bread in it. Yum! The bread roll recipe is in the original book (available on sale until February 2014) and this recipe will also be in the new book!

2. Pasta with tomato sauce   

I made this with brown rice pasta so it's gluten free. I made the sauce with beans, tomatoes, onion, garlic and spices :) This is a brand new recipe I mad up tonight and will be a daily recipe on the website.

Here are some recipes I have using brown rice pasta:
http://www.theearthdiet.org/19/post/2013/08/simple-spaghetti-gluten-free-wheat-free-vegan.html
http://www.theearthdiet.org/22/post/2013/09/mac-n-cheese-with-peas-gluten-free-and-vegan.html

3. Simple salad for refreshment and for balancing out the other cooked items, so now the meal became a hybrid. I made the salad with lettuce leaves, spinach, olive oil, lemon and pistachio nuts. 

They loved it! Its amazing but not surprising what great ingredients can do.  My mission complete!
