New Openings for Craniosacral, More in Portland, OR!

noreply@blogger.com (Sea Cummins) — Mon, 05 Jun 2017 06:42:00 +0000

Hello,
Thank you for your inquiry and interest in Sea Cummins, LMT OR #11683, NCBTMB, IABT... to schedule click here...

My love for all things craniosacral has been the central focus of opening more time to the public this summer beginning July 11... there are a few openings until then, but secure your weekly spot at my new Schedulicity site! Ask me about subscriptions and packages!

For those new to me, I began studying reflexology as a child when my aunt let me see what it felt like to have my toe rolled. I did indeed feel an energy flow of relaxation and wellbeing and thought nothing more of it for a few years.

Then at age 15 I began studying reflexology, iridology and acupressure when I discovered Arnold Ehret, Viktoras Kulvinskas and Ann Wigmore and was fortunate to have yoga in high school in southern California ... my boyfriend introduced me to Ehret's Rational Fasting and we fasted together and took long bike rides to the beach.

If none of this means anything to you so far then you probably aren't a raw vegan enthusiast from way back but don't worry that's partly why I'm here. I'm opening Quantum Royal Raw Foods and Quantum Stillness SelfCare classes and services so if you are interested in learning more I'd advise booking an energy balancing session with me (30min for $35) or other phenomenal sessions I offer.

I joined a raw food vegan organic farm commune and group of artists and musicians; became the lead singer and lead musician in SoCal and we sold our ecological revolution magazine all over the place. I also continued to selfteach massage and healing protocols with juicing, wheatgrass, colon cleanse and more as well as was deemed the right hand gal for the leaders, often making them personal salads and teas and providing dry brush treatments and massage therapy.

Later this group became huge and had some sharp criticism but I missed some of the worst of that by leaving in 1979. I went back briefly in the Topanga Canyon place and worked in the gardens again which I'd missed.

My preparation made me supremely ready for a lengthy residential holistic practitioner training at a hot springs vegetarian resort in the high desert between LA and Palm Springs with a spiritual group of family oriented folks who ran a school and spa and largest vegetarian restaurant in north America at the time... guests found wandering the hotsprings or store were the likes of Mr Rogers, the Golden Girls, Robin Williams, White Knights, more and I learned experientially to do and teach the full indepth gallbladder flush protocols, purifying diet, health building food combining as well as the socially acceptable gourmet vegetarian.

During that time of holistic training of the incredibly complex works of Dr Randolph Stone, we were introduced to the palpation of subtle cranial rhythms and I could feel the fastest and most superficial of the rhythms during this time. After a year of almost fulltime studies, I received my certifications there and stayed on as kitchen service and stayed another year raising my toddler son on clean food and nightly mineral spring soaks...

A series of years like this ends up instilling natural lifestyle and protocols in daily life. From the outside looking in I didn't realize how different all my habits were from beginning in the morning with polarity yoga, polarity teas and liver flush to how I used pressure points to help my kids' digestion to name just a few but as the decades go by I'm often asked with fascination about how to do certain things... so many "remedies" are so very simple and they work but at the same time so many people have gotten used to not even questioning pharmaceuticals or unhealthy ways of eating and being on overwhelm with weight gain, cholesterol or chronic degenerative disease with only pharmaceuticals or surgery as seemingly their only choices.

Fast forward past years of just using all my knowledge on selfcare, family care and close friends when the last two kids were a little older I got my two year degree from East West College of the Healing Arts in medical massage and attained my national certification as a bodyworker NCBTMB so I was licensed in Oregon and could practice the familiar Polarity Therapy I'd used so much almost daily for over 15 years, integrated with the Swedish and sports, prenatal and deep tissue. Ready to book now? Click here.

Would I stop there? How could I when I knew there were such great teachers out there teaching the newly advanced field of biodynamic craniosacral therapy! Yes my teachers from the hot springs resort had opened their own school in Boulder, Colorado so I went there for a two year training. I loved the work so much as it had the amazing combination of bodysense energy perceptual skills, intuition but also with an increased study of anatomy and physiology; including a field trip to a top cadaver lab so I could actually know what my hands were touching when I did the listening touch with clients.

Incidentally that was a hard one for me to be able to accomplish. Years earlier I tried to take an anatomy college class but walked out immediately when we were going to dissect primates... I just couldn't do it... in this case it was humans who had consented to be looked at and dissected for science so I suppose that was part of the difference for me. If Einstein is correct, "the observer influences the observed" it's really important to know what you are touching!

Contrary to my fears, knowing my anatomy better did not conflict with my deep appreciation of energy studies. I was afraid that I'd become left brained and not be in touch with energy fields and chakral movements etc... quite the opposite.

Fascinated with what felt to me (happily) like a mystery school meets neurobiology studies. (We even studied embryology to be able to understand the nature of protoplasm, DNA memory etc) my palpation and presence skills deepened and so did my excitement of what I saw the natural healing system of humans to be!

I brought this back to my clients in Portland and to this day these clients still see me and say I'd really changed their lives... very cool.

Since then the only notable studies were advanced Shiatsu and ethics in New York but the really notable thing was I've worked on thousands of clients over a period of eleven years which has been so amazing and rewarding...

I'm posting all this and will likely edit it tomorrow as soon as I can ... but wanted to reach out and let Portland, OR, know I'm opening up my schedule actively welcoming new clients at this time!

There's so much to say!

Inside Rawgoddess Kitchen #2 Chia and Maca tips

Rawprincess Rituals and Rants: A SelfCare Guide to Beauty and Grace

My ebook for $12.95 pls buy today and get a fresh understanding of how to create a daily food sobriety.

Hi Everybody, Yesterday it was downloaded to me (again) that i need to be making a short video everyday with some tip or recipe, something to teach everyday. A friend was the messenger this time. i am on day two. Here i show and tell two ways to use chia in a daily shake or smoothie and also give you the links for the black gelatinized maca. This extra potent black maca is the only cooked item that some raw foodists would even consider because it is actually easier on the body and more affective than the raw maca.
This video above is partially in Spanish but very little is in Spanish.
my style is off the cuff and i sincerely hope you find something you did not know before. :)

Chia is for long-distance runners of Indian heritage in Mexico so why not be for you? Soak it for a gel that helps retain positive hydration in the cells longer than with just plain water (not bloat but retaining hydration) and grind it dry and eat immediately for a very unique and special antioxidant-rich oil if consumed within ten minutes.

Directions for using Chia Seeds

Put 1/3 cup dry seeds into two cups of warm water whisk, wait fifteen mins then whisk again then store gel in refrigerator .Use three tablespoons three times a day of the gel (seeds hydrated).

You can mix them into any drink or food and may even just take the gel. Once a day you can take up to one tablespoon of the dry seeds and add them to fluid or sprinkle them on food and drink fluid at the same time so the seeds hydrate from the fluid.

this is day two of 30 days. the others will be 3 or 4 minutes ONLY!!!

"What's the difference between Gelatinized Maca and Raw Maca and which is better?"

i go to my top sources for quality information backed by studies and personal experience so that would be the raw food world store... Matt Monarch owns and runs the largest online raw vegan and superfood store in the world... he has personally adhered to his raw vegan diet for over a decade as his wife Angela also. i have lost track of how many years but something like 13 each.

Matt Monarch recommends the black gelatinized maca after his extensive research and testing plus he has directly worked with the growers for improved soil and water quality where the maca is grown. Purchase this exact maca and read the full article here. i will receive a credit if you purchase using my special link. thank you!!! <3

He tells us that Black Maca is extremely rare, because it comprises only about6% of the entire Maca crop. Some of the clinical studies clearly state that while all varieties of Maca have a certain benefit, Black Maca consistently appears to have more beneficial effects. There is also something about the taste of Black Maca that Mr Monarch loves. It almost tastes roasted, even when it's a totally raw product.

All of the clinical studies that he shares here with us below on Black Maca were done with some form of cooked Maca, such as an extract (please note that Gelatinized Maca can also be considered a "cooked extract").

What the largest online organic superfood store owner loves the most is that clinical studies have shown that Black Maca has beneficial effects on learning and memory. I feel it isalways valuable to be able to improve our thinking and focus in any way.

Yes, Matt Monarch writes ...

Helps with depression!

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16796734
In the clinical study below, black maca improved experimentalmemory impairment induced by ovariectomy, due in part, by its antioxidant and Ache inhibitory activities.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18955369

It is also shown in the studies below that Black Maca has the potential to increase daily sperm production and sperm motility, which is the ability of sperm to move properly towards an egg. Furthermore, in the first study below, it shows that Black Maca affects sperm count as early as one day after beginning to take it and this study also states Black Maca to be more effective with this issue than regular Yellow Maca.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16961569
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16174556
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23489070
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17683465
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17669402

In the clinical study below, it also states that Black Maca helped reduce glucose levels in diabetic mice both when taken on its own and in conjunction with Yacon.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23489070

Black Maca and the other colors of Maca have the potential todramatically help with bone density, as you can see in the clinical studies below. One thing that people usually don't realize is that Maca is loaded with calcium. This high level of calciumcombined with Maca's hormone balancing properties mean Maca has the potential to be a bone density powerhouse. Components present in Maca are also said in clinical studies to normalize the functioning of the endocrine system and bring about balance in all of the hormone levels secreted by these glands, which has the potential to play a big role in promoting bone health.

After all of the research I did on Maca, the special color varieties of Gelatinized Maca would be the number one products I would recommend to a person for overall bone health. We'll explain whyGelatinized Maca is better for this a bit later in this article. If I had to choose just one Maca product specifically for bone density, I would choose the Gelatinized Black Maca. Or even better, if funds permit, Black Gelatinized Maca alternated with Regular Gelatinized Maca would, I feel, be the ultimate combination. Our Regular Gelatinized Maca is a mixture of all three color varieties, just as they are naturally grown in the crop. Usually, each Maca crop contains at most 20% Red and Black Maca combined and about 80% Yellow Maca. Therefore, if you can use both the single-color Black Gelatinized Maca and the Regular Gelatinized Maca together, you are getting the best of all worlds.

In the clinical study at the link below, Red and Black Maca wereboth shown to have protective effects on bone architecture in ovariectomized rats, while Yellow Maca wasn't as effective.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20616517
On the other hand, in the clinical study at the link below, Gelatinized "Yellow" Maca was shown to noticeably increase bone density markers, balance hormone levels and relieve symptoms of menopausal discomfort, (hot flushes and night sweating in particular). Imagine what Gelatinized Black Maca can do in these circumstances then!

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23675006

In the clinical study at the link below, Maca Extract improved bone mass and restored the trabecular network in lumbar vertebrae in ovariectomized rats. This finding suggests that Maca is potentially useful for postmenopausal osteoporosis, which occurs in women as a result of estrogen deficiency.

http://www.cof.org.cn/pdf/2006/6/Effect%20of%20ethanol%20extract.pdf

To boost this bone density Superfood even more, I'd take it with Yacon Syrup, which has the potential to have a synergisticeffect with the Maca on bone density. On the Dr. Oz website here, it states that Yacon consumption also appears to increase absorption of dietary minerals, and may make calcium more bioavailable.

At the clinical study here, it shows that Yacon has the potential to help increasefracture strength and increase theconcentration of minerals in bones, an important factor in the prevention of diseases such as osteoporosis. I feel that the combination of these three Superfoods(Gelatinized Black Maca, Gelatinized Maca, and Yacon Syrup) is theideal way to go for bone density concerns.

All the varieties of Maca are incredible, yet it seems clear to me that Black Maca is the richest in health benefits of all Maca colors. I only found five clinical studies on Red Maca and all of them show that Red Maca is incredible for male prostate health, such as reducing the size of the prostate, whereas the studies for Black Maca cover a vast range of topics. Here are these clinical studies below on Red Maca and Prostate Health.

My Baby 'Costa Brava Organics' is Germinating: Purple Corn Planting With One's Lover & Shooing Away Psychic Vampires

noreply@blogger.com (Sea Cummins) — Sat, 17 May 2014 02:06:00 +0000

A full year in Los Barriles ... i keep lightening the possessions and clearing clutter, cleaning spaces, adding plants, crystals, good energy and striving for highest bliss and guidance ... my biggest joy is connecting with people, animal people and life itself throughout this earth plane... i am loving my life! My diet is lightening up once again and i haven't lost my vision gained fm my meeting Viktoras Kulvinskas & Ann Wigmore in the 70s and living the eco-lifestyle on an organic farm commune with other musicians and artists! At age 17 i assisted in an in-home cancer reversal w/ juice, enemas and change of diet. Today i envision a writer's colony right here alongside my store, healing arts school and humble smoothie bar.
me (center) with Perr and Wicca in the Zendik Street Orgaztra on Venice Boardwalk

The blue corn sprouted, Armando pointed out the almost imperceptible threads of green sprouting out of the ground this morning guiding my steps so i wouldn't crush them. Happy, i walked back to the campo and put the bucket of compost on the back of the bike and rode back. He smiled, his wide grin of white teeth bidding me on. He told me to dump it by the tomato plants so i did and went back for the second bucket. We bring the scraps from Rawgoddess Green Smoothies in Los Barriles, Bcs, Mexico. It is on the main malecon strip mall which houses the veggie girls, the Oaxaca weaver and others. We serve a wide variety of green juices, smoothies, fruity softserv, and raw chocolate energy bars, salads, wraps and the occasional Mexican feast.

Armando waters our corn seeds in Piedras Gordas at the marina.

I feel that corn is something i may never grasp and can only fathom its effectiveness. Corn is a deeply sacred seed and food which like i said i respect and revere but cannot trust that i 'get it'... corn is earth, corn IS the Indian people corn IS life... and with the violations of companies like Monsanto it's a death rape to be stripped of real corn, pollinated corn and to have it tainted by someone in a laboratory trying to make a buck is a heinous crime.

My Grandpa Frank and his brothers were the largest producers of carrots in the states for many years and they also had fields of corn in Indio where we'd often spend long weekends over Thanksgiving as a family. i grilled him to make sure he didn't use pesticides or sprays... neither of us knew the very fertility of corn would be at stake in the not so far future.

One day Armando and i planted six rows or so. Later he suggested we fill in the remaining rows. i gave him the seeds and it was an odd moment. As a warrioress goddess you must remain alert and aware of the Universe speaking to you and in this case i thought i'd go get a swim in so A. was headed to the garden to plant. As soon as he started the car i knew i'd made a mistake and that i needed to be present for the planting. He didn't hear me shriek "Miho" as he rounded the corner leaving because the radio was on so loud.

i didn't care the whole restaurant across the street were giggling as i huffed and puffed on the bicicycle half-dressed to catch up with him...

when i came up the stone steps leading to the land from the wrought iron side gate with the bicycle i saw that he indeed was home like he said he would. And he was also in the garden! But what i saw next set me off running full speed full throttle. A lady of opportunity was standing at the edges of the garden smoking a cigarette and flirting with him. i could see what was coming if i hadn't been there. He would have planted those seeds without my energies and with this other lady's energy that i knew was scattered. She had been visiting a worker on the property for a few days and we'd talked a little.

Inside i was ready to jump her but i ran hard and as i got closer i yelled, "Quiero plantar maize con mi espuso solo!!!" (i want to plant corn with my husband alone!) She had a big good-natured grin on her face as she hurried past us both and i had no need to jump her. He put his arms around me, "Tranquila, Relajate" ... It's not his energies i'm concerned about it was hers. We planted the entire pound of blue corn seeds and soaked them well. Like Anastasia says in the Anastasia, Ringing Cedar series, i like to put the seeds into my mouth so they know me and put them in the ground.

The garden in Piedras Gordas easily becomes the central foods for Rawgoddess Green Smoothies as do the plants of the desert nopal, aloe vera and moringa.

Not a possessive girl unless it would f_ck up my corn patch!

Here at Rawgoddess Baja in Los Barriles, Baja California de Sur, Mexico. i love waking up and seeing the sunrise and the moon set at the same time. The glassy water's velvety table for the pink sun coming up glows as i walk to my corn patch. Yesterday was Day 2 of my personal program and i'm recording everything for my very first public webcasted series. My journal keeps noting the peace and bliss i feel while eating this way. i've half-jokingly coined this the Baja Beer Diet: A Cleanse & Flourish series.

In the Rawgoddess Building we welcome the new store of Costa Brava Organics. Los Gente's Coop will be available for new members this summer, as well on select staples and cici's picks. i apologize for not getting this started sooner but we are celebrating a new skincare line and the upcoming birth of a baby among our staff, very soon! New stock is arriving every week and we will have a grand opening party with live music.

ecotools exfoliation gloves

We try to keep ample supply of exfoliating tools on hand. Always brush from the extremities--arms and legs--towards the heart. Do this on dry skin to remove dead skin cells and stimulate internal oil stores as well as collagen production and bring this to the surface... the fresh blood circulation means that the lymphatic system gets refreshed and in turn will allow toxins from the cells to be moved via the body system's water body to be eliminated ... mucus will be expelled via coughing and bowel movements so look in your stool afterward... in addition, toxic gases trapped in the lymph and cells will be stimulated and supported to move also so look for burping and gas expelling (farts) and keep EVERTHING CLEAN that you put into your mouth to enhance the whole process. This means organic first and whole food organic second ... eliminate dairy, grains and certain nuts unless soaked, add more raw fruits and vegetables particularly adding two heads of greens per day at first.

IMPORTANT: After sunbathing or sun exposure for a daily 15 minute minimum, be sure you do not use soap on the skin for at least 24 hrs with possible exception of armpits and bitty bits in moderation. Use the dry brush so the skin's mantle will do its photosynthesis type thing and create VITAMIN D!!! You may wipe down with a damp cloth or rinse gently in a cool shower then towel dry without harming this process.

Mung bean fettuccine has only two ingredients! Mung beans and water. I add fresh cracked black pepper, nutritional yeast and pumpkin seeds here.

Hi Everybody,
Cici here. I am really really IMPRESSED with the mung bean fettuccine. Here at my juice bar Rawgoddess Baja del Sur, we've run out (again) because it really does rival an authentic 'al dente' pasta from Italy... you truly will never miss your childhood pasta again. I've pasted in my affiliate link and even at these very low prices, I can receive a small commission from your order and appreciate it very much.

Make a great sauce by blending olive oil with fresh garlic cloves, sea salt and your choice of herbs. By adding nutritional yeast, lemon juice & a bit of cashew butter, you can make a creamy alfredo sauce.

The amazing thing about this besides how REAL it tastes is that it is completely gluten free and grain free!

Angela Stokes-Monarch says:
Yep ;)  It seems we've found the next new big thing for the health movement. If you haven't already heard, we're so excited to bring you: Mung Bean Fettuccine and Black Bean Spaghetti. Each of these products only have two ingredients! Organic Mung Beans and Water or Organic Black Beans and Water! As you will see in the video futher below, I feel that if you've ever been to Italy and had the best "al dente" pasta in the world, then you'll surely d!scover with delight that these new pastas totally compare. In fact I don't even think a person would know the difference between traditional Italian wheat pasta vs. this new Mung Bean Fettuccine: it could be fed to family members as a healthy alternative without them even knowing! Everyone who is trying these new pastas is in love with them!
Matt and Angela called the company to find out exactly how these "m!racle" foods are processed. They call these pastas m!racle foods, because they're extremely high in protein and low in fat. They even have more protein than carbs.

(You can soak or cook these.)

It's hard to find a food with such a high protein content and low fat/carb content in the Raw Foods Movement.  Additionally, these pastas are extremely easy to digest and don't involve the usual issues that people experience when they are trying to digest beans. So when Matt and Angela called the company to get the processing details, they shared the following:

"We grind the organic beans into flour and add 8% water and then extrude the moist dough mixture into a spaghetti or fettuccine shape at very low heat (about 120 degrees F.) and then they are dried and cut and packed."

pls click this link to buy the pasta & benefit cici's Rawgoddess del Sur ;)

Ok so, the "Raw Food" enzyme-saving cut-off temperature is widely said to be 118 degrees. They said it's "about" 120 degrees, which could mean give or take a couple of degrees. We were so excited to hear that the temperature is right around the "raw" border line. We feel so excited good about these products. These pastas contain only two ingredients each and one of those ingredients is water. I'm so excited about these pastas that I'm most likely going to make them a permanent staple in my d!et, not only for the amazing taste but also because of the high protein content, with low fat and carb content.

Try it for yourselves and see how it feels. Angela has been eating 100% raw for almost 12 years now and says in her newsletter she feels lighter with more energy after eating this Mung Bean Pasta, rather than either high fat or high carb raw food recipes that people generally consume.

Consider this an ideal food to feed your families. They probably won't even know that you switched their white-flour-high-carb-gluten-filled pasta for healthy high protein mung beans lol. There are many health food advocates out there, such as Dr. Joel Fuhrman, who recommend these pastas as a healthy staple in people's diets.

Furthermore, they are inexpensive. If you get a 6-pack, the price is $3.99 for each bag, before you use any coup0n codes. Otherwise, they are $4.99. There's a lot of food in these bags: $3.99 each, to feed your entire family for dinner, is an incredible deal. Wait until you see how much one bag of Mung Bean Fettuccine makes in the video below!

The mung bean fettuccine is off the hook delicious.

Thank you for trying this. I know you will love it!

This fettuccine is taking the health food world by storm! I love that it is high protein and no fat, no grains! Here I have paired with a simple cut cilantro, avocado, tomato and nutritional yeast, fresh cracked black pepper but I often make a creamy alfredo fm the olive oil, pressed garlic, sea salt and blend w nutritional yeast and cashew butter!!! :)

Sign up sheet outside the front door. You will be let in at the end of the session before you. Juuanita can serve you premade juices and smoothies in front while you wait. The idea is that this is for intro's and a person's first craniosacral session with me or for someone who is perhaps socioeconomically challenged and can't book with me at my regular rate of $85usd. Here in Baja realistically it's $60usd per hour and with craniosacral it is a flat fee because the body varies its time and needs for time to go into stillpoint and I won't stop the session based on the clock. Dr Stills found that some would be done in 15 minutes and others took 2 hours. So grab one of my ebooks or journals and have a seat.

Rawgoddess Green Smoothies LiquidLaunch Smoothie Menu

noreply@blogger.com (Sea Cummins) — Mon, 27 Jan 2014 21:05:00 +0000

Dear Reader: Please follow Cici's 92-Day Juice Fast Diet on her special Facebook page here.

LiquidLaunch™ Menu RGS (Part I)

Cici's ACV Solution: A refreshing, hydrating 1st-thing drink made w/ diluted living organic apple cider vinegar water and specially designed spices or enzymes per client.

LV/GB Mini-flush: Start the day with a mini liver flush. Used daily begins to soften and dissolve gravel and stones along the liver and gallbladder bile ducts. Must be followed with two cups of very hot herbal tea. Wait at least an hour before your usual coffee. Ingredients: apple, ginger, lemon, garlic (opt.) olive oil blended into a tangy delicious drink. Followed by Polaritea: licorice, fennel, fenugreek & flax w/ peppermint. Or you may use a mint alone.

Cici's VIP Green Coconut Water we have a hard time keeping this in stock it works so well.

Carrot

Carrot beet

Cici Rider: beet, orange, jalepeno, ginger, lemon A mildly spicy but tangy and rich drink to cleanse the blood system as well as tone the bowel and liver.

Fat Metabolizer #1: grapefruit, orange, lemon w/ nopal and moringa A refreshingly tart juice to assist in balancing blood sugar levels and dissolving plaque in the system. Take with our nopal caps or Hoodia for appetite reduction w/o caffeine crash as well as a B12 patch for added energy.

Adds: B12 patch many are deficient in this energizing B vitamin due to lack of soil-based organisms on food these days and the use of antibiotics. This is the number one patch on the worldwide online vegan market and is the NEXT BEST THING to a doctor's B12 shot in the butt. Very good.

Hoodia: there were many scams of cut Hoodia and this is pure concentrated and really works for emotional eating and helps curb desire to overeat. No caffeine or jitters, just an underlying energy boost.

Fat Metaboliser #2: Pineapple, cilantro, orange, nopal, moringa
Try with the Hoodia, B12 and nopal caps (above)

Basic Green Smoothie: fruit, greens water & special organic recipe (low glycemic, always gluten-free & vegan)

Supergreen Smoothie: same as Basic but with high quality superfoods, special greens such as chlorella, barley grass juice powder, spirulina and digestive enzymes.

Chocolate supergreen "ice cream" smoothie: I add raw mineral-rich cacao powder which boosts the "love" hormones in the brain. The alkaloids and antioxidants in raw cacao far surpass any other superfood. The frozen bananas are creamier vs our competitors who use only ice. This is guilt-free chocolate at its finest.

Chia Chocolate Frosty: same as above w/ soaked chia seed. The Mexican ultra-distance running tribe Tarahumara use this seed (chia) for endurance of hundreds of miles a day in the desert. :) (See "Born to Run")

MacaLoca MylkShake: leading maca pwdr, non-GMO almond mylk with Rawgoddess superfood smoothie ingredients, love and blended to a creamy perfection! We use Celestial Raw Goddess Tonics and Teas as well as Shaman Shack 3 Immortals. (3 flavors: vanilla-almond, chocolate-cacao or very berry).

Coconut water

VIP Green Coco Water: supergreens blended w/ pure coconut water, proprietary organic flavors & a magical spell.

Savory Green Smoothie: This is one of my favorites for dinner. I blend my organic tomato, cucumber, squash and fresh tender greens w/ avocado & spices and top it with a generous dollop of olive oil, sea salt and organic freshly milled black pepper. Mmm good.

Orange Creamsicle: Oranges, almond or cashew mylk recipe blended w/ ice & rich coconut oil to creamy perfection. :)

92-Day Juice Fast for Cici & Rawgoddess Green Smoothies New Menu Launch ;)

noreply@blogger.com (Sea Cummins) — Mon, 13 Jan 2014 05:36:00 +0000

Hi everybody,

Just a quick note to let you know that this Wednesday Full Moon I launch the RGS smoothie and full juice bar menus. There will be plenty of menus and a to-go take-out phone number so you can grab these menus and take them home with you!

Please, please do not miss out on my personal publicized journey which also begins Wednesday. I first do two weeks of smoothies and juices leading into a 92-day rite-of-passage juice fast. Click here and hit the like button if you feel intrigued or inspired by this and wish to receive updates. www.facebook.com/RawgoddessBaja <3

My personal Facebook page also is important to stay closely tuned to. And please remember to hit the thumbs up button below each post and photo if you find it inspiring or informative in anyway. This keeps me going on those sometimes long and lonely rawgoddess days. ;p www.facebook.com/sea.cummins

Here is an outline of this week's calendar. Don't miss the purple corn pancakes because we will not be offering these again in this format.

Rawgoddess Green Smoothies: Meatless Monday 8am purple corn pancakes w/ real maple syrup! Organic PDXgirl coffee frappuccino regular & the caffeine free reishi tonic cappuccino, Almond butter fudge w/ date frosting. Tues 10am Pumpkinseed Pesto Fettuccini. Wed Full Moon Smoothie & Juice Bar Menu Launch! Follow cici's 92-day juice protocol at www.facebook.com/RawgoddessBaja <3

Why the change? We tried the cooked vegetarian and the cooked vegan foods and found yes, that sales increased, but the number of people I was actually helping discover a cleansing lifestyle to increase vitality actually declined. Yes, folks it is the green juice and smoothies and food with their unheated enzymes and minerals intact that I want to share.

Meanwhile, it is possible that these cooked vegan foods are great for "fallback" foods when you can't get fresh organic fruit and vegetables as a dinner option and I will offer classes in the future but the menu at Rawgoddess is launching this Wednesday and you will be able to actually read and take home these menus as well as brochures packed with information.

bliss,

Hey everybody this is Cici here.

It's exciting to have accomplished my mission in many ways and some unexpected ways during this US Rawgoddess Road Trip... It's been a little over three months. I have learned so much on this trip and really feel I have grown professionally and personally. The main focus was for my spiritual quest. I knew I needed to "get back to the trees again" as a mentor once used to remind us was necessary. I know that to be true.

You do need to get back to the trees again.

Daily routines are comforting and help keep systems running smoothly for many people, but when those very systems are merely draining and burning out individuals there is a need for a shift.

For me, rites of passage such as a juice or food cleanse, a time spent in a sacred spot of nature in solitude or exploration and connection, a deep soul searching or personal self-inventory and a reflection upon one's goals/life purpose/ mission statement.

Are you living it or getting further away?

There's also the good old bucket list or some may call it mid-life crisis. Well, I used to avoid those labels but more and more realize if that's what gets someone off their butt and into action then that's just fine with me! A bucket list meaning life is moving on are you living life to its fullest and sharing your strengths and gifts with the world community? Or are you putting things off and accepting a life of routine and stagnation?

Portland allowed me to deepen friendship ties with folks I love and that made me so happy.

I learned much from the business standpoint and saw how much I have grown professionally as an entrepreneur rather than a corporate therapist working in a cubicle on a strict rushed schedule. Incidentally this included many many gray rainy days during which I worked so late I didn't get to see my kids. Just to go off-topic for a minute: It was complicated but a combination of the vindictiveness of their Father and the partially resulting socioeconomic challenges I was facing created a very negative spiral of attitudes for all of us. Especially when after all this work I was doing I wasn't seeing my kids but also was miserable due to a seasonal affective type disorder stuff that totally was hard after 20 yrs of the Pacific Northwest ... I haven't mentioned the elephant in the closet: I was trying to disengage from a very intimate and structured love relationship and was rather lost in my new world... I am working on a fictional account of my experiences and it includes why I don't casually recommend anyone getting involved in a dependent relationship--no matter how conscious--unless they have significant recovery measures in place for when and if that relationship should be suddenly severed.

In my case, I asked release in order to move to be close to my kids in Portland. I tried this a total of three times. My former husband was consistently rude to me, negative and went so far as to yell at me and criticize me for basic parenting procedures such as taking my kids to the principal's for a counseling session appointment, after they each were physically aggressive with me and my property and would run away or refuse to go to school when I was trying to get to work on time so as to not be fired.

I've had time to put all this in perspective this US trip. The huge shock in Mexico was that all my pride and joy in presenting this place to my kids resulted in a wonderful trip together but a setback afterward that has me scratching my head.

Out in the woods this last four-week leg of my trip I have had time to meditate, pray, walk, run, sunbathe, live outdoors and become more grateful for resources and creature comforts. But also to become my own best friend. The saying "Treating myself like a precious object will make me strong." is maybe a lifelong haiku or koan ... put it up on a collage board or simply paint or draw these words and place them in your workplace says Julia Cameron, author of the Artist Way.

Well, it really is true. I made a collage of those words and I've practiced little by little the art of treating myself like a precious object. If that is one thing I hope I teach in my daily self-care classes, ebooks and YouTube channel TV show it is doing those small but nurturing and cumulative things for one's self. Things like dry brush, yoga, moisturizing, hydrating from the inside out, resting, getting a hot bath, a massage or extra day to do nothing once in a while.

About that last item. Just doing nothing for a day can amaze you at all the things one remembers and figures out that really help daily life afterward, just by clearing the space and not focusing on anything at all. Having an unscheduled day can allow the Universe to unfold so many gifts not accessible when we are busy running around etc.

I believe the people I saw and the things I got to share with them and them with me were completely COSMIC and totally meant to be. I think all the connections the Universe brought my way are precious memories and real bonds. I hope to see each one of you down at Baja as my guest!!!

Well, I'm going to wrap this up. I've posted a wonderful MENU for online orders in Los Barriles, B.c.s. Mexico. It is on the RIGHTHAND SIDEBAR on the top of all the items!!! It's brand new and it has my classic favorite ordered menu items from Rawgoddess Green Smoothies shop and vegan cafe in Los Barriles, Baja Mexico.

Anyone who uses this to order from me will receive 10% which will be reimbursed in pesos in person in Los Barriles, B.c.s.!!! :)

Make sure you send me your email address for my List project. I don't share. There will be weekly newsletters emailed and I will make sure to announce any sales or special dates in Baja to my email list first before the public.

Well, it's Halloween, I'm posting my menu up for online ordering and paying. I'm in humble gratitude for my family, children and friends today. I'm in deep gratitude for the gifts my Higher Power has given me. I've learned so much from the good Men in my life and even now as I am complicit in my own empowerment (shriek, I didn't mean to leave out the amazing Goddesses, sisters and girlfriends!!!), I have to feel so much love coming at me and all around me. Thank you Universe!!! I am so grateful for all the enthusiasm people are sending my way about Rawgoddess Baja and supporting me to be strong as a Mom and keep up the good fight!! Thank you so much.

Sending love from Cici Cummins of Rawgoddess Baja in south Baja Mexico, and Rawprincess Studio / Skylight Massage in Portland, Oregon ...

Teaser For Anti-Cellulite and Auto-Eat Reprogramming.

noreply@blogger.com (Sea Cummins) — Mon, 02 Sep 2013 01:30:00 +0000

It's quite true we all need to eat something.

However, the times find us in a strange place. Really.

The stomach is way overused and unfortunately the perceptions of the crowds don't notice this.

For me, I try to keep up with the Joneses and eat my share. Or whatever it is that causes me to walk along with the crowd, but when I take some time to rest and stand apart in the silence. For example in the trees, the warm wind and moist earth between my toes, moss or sand, pine or palm it matters not, when I take the moment to stop and rest my weary head and aching heart, I notice that full feeling.

All over.

And despite the love I've learned from goddess to feel toward myself, I still notice that there is another road beckoning me.

No I'm not speaking of anorexia.

Laughs.

But the right use of appendage.

For a complete listing of all my articles on self-aware meditative body care including anti-cellulite programs please subscribe to this blog on the right sidebar by entering your email address. Next up: what to do when you auto-eat.

Getting Fooled: My Landlord Raised My Rent Without Telling Me

noreply@blogger.com (Sea Cummins) — Tue, 06 Aug 2013 15:20:00 +0000

Well the suns comin' up, yes it is. I'm ridin' w/ Lady Luck ...

Juuanita now makes a mean greeeeeen smoothie!!! xoxo

First salad ever made in Rawgoddess Green Smoothies, B.c.s Mexico

First ever menu at Rawgoddess hand-written by Papa Feb 2013

First ever Rawgoddess at Sat. mkt at Los Barriles, B.c.s. Feb 2013

Some of the first to-go taco salad at Rawgoddess raw vegan. Feb 2013

Dear Diary,
My new landlord raised the rent and slipped it into a contract I signed without saying it was higher. I just got a text this morning from my friend who was going to pay it and it was higher--there wasn't enough pesos in my account he said.

Despite the so-called great reasons to be there, there are also factors which at this moment my mind is wondering am I supposed to be there again.

I really don't like the lying that goes on there on a regular basis. I can't stand it actually. It goes against my nature and the competition is ugly.

There are good people and there are people who need me. But honestly right now my stomach is turning. How can I ever be friendly to that landlord again?

He actually slipped me the contract and I didn't see he had raised it? He just does it without saying anything? Chances are even if I had seen it, he would have insisted, even if I had protested.

It is just the deception of the thing. I do hate it and it hurts.

Also, my lawyer tried to tell me I could not leave the country without giving her $55 more dollars. I ignored that because I had a passport plus my temporary resident card. I was right. She made that up.

She also says I have to go back to restart the whole process for my working papers.

I started that last December and while I was in Baja was told I had to go back to the states to get it. I went to the states and then was told that I had the correct papers. When I got back to Mexico they told me it was not the correct papers and I would have to apply within Mexico.

I'm beginning to feel that I am being torn apart inside. I feel frustration, like I am pulling blood out of a turnip. I feel that I am pushing up against a tide that I don't want to be pushing up against. I begin to hate people and distrust everyone's smiling face.

It is good though, because I went there for the love and approval of someone else and this year needs to be different. I started out in shock because I thought I was down there with someone and I wasn't. I was there with me. It forced me to turn within and I only did a half-way good job at that.

I'm doing a little better right now.

This is good because when I got so mad at my landlord's wimpy deception, I had a moment where I didn't care if I went back or not.

I didn't care if I lost everything in the shop. I just was so mad I considered starting a business in Portland where I could be closer to my two youngest kids.

Even though I have absolutely no money to my name. Nothing.

I am starting this season in Mexico at my new smoothie bar and I have nothing except the shop and the equipment and my experience from last year. I will literally have to start with the supplies I have onhand.

Dogs and upturned brooms sleeping in the sun, as Papa says this is Baja!!!

I thought of the breeze blowing through the shop. I thought of the morning sun which comes in the back door. I thought of the perro the doggie who sits in back and no one ever takes for a walk but me. I thought of the people who come in who bring tears to my eyes because the green smoothies mean so much to them.

Friends of Rawgoddess mean a lot!

Getting healthy together!

Amazing people come from all over to cleanse with raw food +Cici Cummins

Some green smoothies are meant for everyday!!!

"I just know I feel better after I eat there." --JS

When the head honchos at www.thebajaponyexpress.com said I was doin' okay!!!

Bringing beauty. Being beauty. Bring it on!!!

I thought of the US and its BS. I thought of the excitement of everyone I speak to about opening this smoothie bar and raw vegan cafe in Baja and I thought of being able to bring my kids and family and friends here and how unique it is.

Cici don't let the people get you down who are tricky and who manipulate. Cici, keep your heart open and yes, be careful, but don't take it personally. Your landlord is indeed sneaky and now you have a higher rent than you did last year and it hurts you that you were being so trusting to sign the contract without looking at it.

A very special raw vegan angel! Rawgoddess Green Smoothies at the market.

Love always, Papa.

You just never had anyone look at your face and do something like that without mentioning it. It is frustrating I know.

You will get through this and it might mean you aren't going to stay there after this year. But I do want you to go back and take care of the shop as planned. You get to be humble that you got fooled. You didn't see it coming. They are putting you through the meat grinder down there.

Don't let it make you stressed and bitter, Cici.

I am sitting here with tears streaming down my face. Welcome to what much of the world feels every day.

Starting with nothing and making something wonderful.

Just for you: This fountain blesses all your efforts today for anyone viewing this ... it draws in all you need to operate your new cosmic mission TODAY! So trust and clean house! :-) <3 <3 <3 xoxo

I have written here to my beloved readers: the heroes, sheroes, supergirls, Gods and alllll the innocent creatures and children of this beautiful blue star ... to anyone struggling to know they matter and they can dream again. To anyone who thought it was too late to have magic in your life or that the planet is doomed because of corporate greed so your broken heart simply ached for paradise lost. Don't give up. Let your vision pull you. Put one foot in front of the other and show up. Because this planet is not done until the fat lady sings. The show must go on and the Hero within has a shot at this still. For one, Monsanto needs to know we don't want to eat GMO corn designed to pop open the bellies of insects and kill them. We don't need to eat sterile corn or have seeds that won't reproduce. We want to take our food back. We will take our food back. We NOW take our health back. ... This is written to let you know I have not stepped out of the game. I have not left you alone, nor have I gone off to hide. I will help you and I need your help too. It's all of our voices, all of our gifts together that will pick up the pieces and make a better world. (Petition here.)

Now.

"This is your desk. And Bill is your uncle." Wherever you are, make a desk and get to your cosmic purpose! Even if going to a job you don't love today, pretend it is your "church" and you are the minister!

Good Morning Baja!!!

I am sitting here in my cheetah robe having my vice--hot black coffee (just one cup)--about to get showered and head for my new space downtown Los Borriles, Baja California del Sur. I get to play in there today because the sinks and counters are in. All my stuff is down there and right next door are "the veggie girls" as they are affectionately known around here. Yes, their store is completely open air under a thatched roof and the walls are lined with see-in coolers filled with produce. The tables and shelves are filled with coconut, dates, raisins, almonds, pecans ... there are also spices and honey! Everything just about everything rawgoddess needs to make magic happen in the love kitchen called Rawgoddess Green Smoothies.

I am grateful for this awesome (and handsome) Man! My business coach and Love.

Papa has supported me to make this go down like this.

No I'm not referring to Ernest Hemingway--although he, too, was named Papa by an adoring public. It's hard not to adore my Papa. In fact, you might say that this is how Rawgoddess began because of "It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This" miles clocked into the Papamadre clock ... and then the rawprincess came skipping along (or tiptoeing in high heels, however you want to look at it) and there was this collision of spirits.

A complex and heart-wrenching happiness and intensity wrapped in saltwater and motorcycle projects (I, more than once, tried to run errands for Papa and ended up dropping off the welding project to the mechanic in the sticks, never once did it occur to me I'd need them for the next stop on the list. So when I got there I had no pipes for the welder.)

But it is now 9:30am and my coffee is half sipped and cooling.

As much as I'd like this to be an intro to a chapter here on rawprincess blog, it needs to be a mere tease. A confusing needs-to-be-edited set of paragraphs some would say.

Nonetheless, it is a drop of fresh water onto the page for me this morning.

You see, I don't show it the same way as you might show it, but I am excited about my juice bar.

It's just been such a long time coming that I guess you could say I *almost* can't be sure it's really happening.

Maybe my self-esteem is so shot that this is what I feel like when I win the lottery. If so, every owl that ever came by to my window, every orange eagle that looked me dead center in the eye in Minnesota and every single birdie that chirped across my path insisting I go outside and connect with Mother Earth--not to give up just because Monsanto would like that ... has been right.

These creatures, innocent creatures of this planet have come to me and said to me that I'm loved.

That I am "not too small or too flawed to be healed" and that I do indeed need to share my gifts to my community.

I know. I so hate that.

But what do you do when you are loved and who and what you are is wanted and needed and is a healing force?

You show up and make green smoothies. You make big bowls of salad. You whip up raw chocolate delights and you put people on the treatment table and let energy principles--witness energy principles, be a facilitator for Energy Principles--do their innate wise things.

You are loved.
You have a unique way of giving to the community of this planet: local and global
You might not know this.

The late Arol Wulf once said to her two-year-old daughter Fawn as they were walking past me in the courtyard at Zendik Farm ... I was sort of shoveling the tunnel thingies where the grey water ran through along the rock wall and I heard her say as she looked right at me, "Sea is a beautiful person. Sea doesn't know it."

It struck me really hard. But she was right. And she may not know that it was such a plague that I could hardly step forward in my life in so many ways because I didn't know I was a beautiful person.

I don't think I'm the only one who goes through this.

Can you stop with me. This moment. And take a moment to breathe deeply into the depths of your heart, body, mind and spirit ... breathe this knowing into yourself. That you and I are beautiful and are completely powerful to bring peace, harmony, tranquility, health and love into this world.

???

Do it.

Let no one else's blunders bring us down. Let no one else's greed dishearten us. Let no one else's judgments or proclamations cut through our hearts. Because ...

Because?

Well, do you really need a "why"???

All the leading motivational coaches are saying that the first thing you need to know for "success" is WHY you want what you want or WHY you want your action.

This always stumped me. And I felt I was a bad student, doomed for failure because I could never really find a "why" for anything that my heart was pulling me to carry out.

Finally I turned it over to Great Spirit. I said, "God/dess, I don't really know why I'm sharing health and holistic lifestyle protocols. I don't really know why I'm doing any of this... maybe that's bad."

I said, "I release this to you, God, I let go."

"Maybe if I put one foot in front of the other you will show me why I'm doing this. Or you will give me that certainty that I care about this. You will give me that magic, that spark that seemed to be doomed by overwhelm of watching corporate greed ruin our world."

And yes, I cried.

But as soon as that was said, I got a tiny foot into the door of the pink cloud.

I prefer to live in the pink cloud. The world of fun and magic and healing light and bringing blue skies and smiling faces.

And as I was sharing these prayers and my "not being able to tell I care" reality, it was revealed to me that I don't need a why.

Why is about the mind.

What I have is a deep deep nature-connection. A soul calling.

Your soul doesn't know "why" it just is a pure diamond of light.

It pulls you to a vision.

For no other reason than pure love.

For no other reason than you are open-hearted and you are truly following that pull.

It's not a why. It's a HOW.

How will you walk in that light.

How will you share your gifts.

The community is not fully alive until each one of us comes out of isolation and offers theirs.

I totally understand the fear that what you have is too weird, or not valuable, or people will reject/laugh/throw tomatoes. I totally get that fear.

But pink cloud is calling.

Becoming the Brightest Light Possible .... Parenting and Salads

noreply@blogger.com (Sea Cummins) — Wed, 25 Jul 2012 17:58:00 +0000

All the hard work this year is paying off ... we are together and thriving! See my new Listening To Parents Series at the Rawprincess here ... (repeats every Tuesday).

Tuesday Gratitude ...
i am grateful for yesterday abstinence with a large mono-plum meal for breakfast, a vegan simple protein drink in the afternoon and a carrot-coconut blended smoothie-soup for dinner ... and a very early bedtime ...

today

i am grateful for prayer and spiritual writing this a.m.

i am grateful for the work i accomplished yesterday

a)getting fafsa filled out

b)getting classes registered for

c) getting the kitchen cleaned up

d) my food being for nourishment not feelings thus dropping a pound

e) getting the laundry organized

f) getting the treatment room cleaned up

g) figuring out more about my printer and computer settings going smoothly

h) putting my foot down with Zeke when he cussed at me that it's not acceptable and he can't talk to me that way--he can be mad but he cannot cuss at his mom.

i) insisting that if the kids make something in the kitchen they need to be willing to wash their dishes right afterward unless previous understanding for that meal have been made.

j) letting them know they cannot stay up past midnight online anymore.

Source of all being and light within and around me in unity i am grateful for being and for the cloak of humanity i have the experience of breathing while getting to remember my divinity.

i thank you for this opportunity to further create the life and healing practice i am called to be and give ... i thank you for the love which removes petty tyrants from my daily life and that i can see beyond the weird ego which says it's my fault and see that it is all bigger than that and see a plan unfolding as i turn to Spirit and Source then take the actions in love and courage and ask for wisdom and guidance moment by moment, day by day. i am grateful for even the times i stray off my non-violent dietary choices and try out the cooked and non-vegan foods because i know that it satisfies the mind as it reminds me that light and sun-kissed foods are where my whole system is resonating and going. Help me to be with people no matter their foods and no matter if it is right in front of me, to have the presence of mind to remember that without judgment, it is just not what i am called to nourish my beautiful being with.

Tuesday Part 2

After two days of the kids holed upstairs doing online stuff I created an explosion by taking the laptop from someone ... then I did a great job listening to all the angst and sadness, listening and talking it through. Many old feelings came up which are important to listen to and heal from for someone and then some which won't be changed. (No, I'm not moving into a modern apartment right now.)

I called Teri, walked over to the gym and worked out, then came back and me and the kids hopped on the trolley car to get some dinner in the Pearl ... we talked over some things about new schedules and at times there was anger and tears all around... but we got through and are home now. There is a time limit on the internet and I am going for another walk (actually I had walked to the bank but forgot my deposit so I have to go back, argh!)

We shared a little chocolate and Z walked down and got them some sodas at the corner store. (He said he needed a little walk by himself) ...

Things are getting good again around here with their rooms all set up ... sure there are improvements that could be made: they need a better room divider and I need to stay on top of the boundaries around how long being online is okay.

But we got through this day with a lot less isolation than yesterday and we got through it with some laughs and hugs and plans for the future together...

I appreciate my boyfriend for supporting me on the phone also ... so thanks to the kids and Teri and thanks to me for doing a good job...

My Salad Gift to Papa ... A display of various yummy veggies feng shui with a scoop of intense kale/avocado/pepita savory in the middle ...

Salad Gift Recipe

top with veggies on-hand taking care to keep each separate for the energetic vibratory quality and elegant beauty
center scoop contains kale rubbed into avocado chunks with:

nutritional yeast large flakes
drizzle organic apple cider vinegar to taste
pink sea salt to taste
nama shoyu to taste
fresh or dried herbs such as basil, thyme and a dash of sage
olive oil

Wednesday Gratitude :)

i am grateful to hear from Hillari

i am grateful for the sunny nook i write in this morning in my paper journal

i am grateful the gym membership at school is all set up

i am grateful i worked out yesterday

i am grateful that even though i had foods not on my spiritual path per se that it wasn't something that led to overeating at ALL ... (a big change)

i am grateful that a few bites of something i don't consider ideal didn't turn into an "oh well let's trip out and sample everything in sight until i'm stuffed" situation.

i am grateful for the 11pm AA mtg last night

i am grateful for Papa's thoughtfulness last night, knowing i'd be distraught if we did not have connection on the phone ...

i am grateful for Papa's insistence on changing some things in my profile which did not please him and which, by letting those things go, mean deeper closeness with him--and more stability and peace within my self.

i am grateful for the day with the kids yesterday and how i had more inner resources as their mom than i was letting myself believe or tap into...

i am grateful i am powerful and a healing force and for generous souls/coaches such as Lori and Danielle from which i glean so much more than Julia can give me today ... knowing the struggles and the way Julia has disappeared from an honest showing up in public really irks me but Lori and Danielle continue to show up and be completely transparent at least to the best of their ability and appropriateness which is the important thing: to show up and share your truth.

i am grateful that i can see more and more of my vision and dream for myself

i am grateful for getting honest in my journal about the underlying energy goings on about my leaving my dayjob. i can see how i really wanted out.

i am grateful for identifying some fundamental confusions i had walked away with when i was released from Mr M...

i am grateful for integration : evolution always includes but transcends the development which preceded ...

God/dess today is a day of caring deeply and profoundly for this temple. The greatest and the least. i am truly great, yet i am truly small, so small and in a sense "worthless" while being ultimately worthy of all the riches of prana, life force, needed objects and resources ... worthy of vitality and joy and the satisfaction of sharing love with others .. worthy of honing and sharpening my superpowers as planetary healer ... worthy of true love with my Beloved: worthy of tending to the gardens of passion, mutual self-realization and miracles ... as a lightworker my temple begins to feed on sunlight and oxygen and clean water and touch ... such substantial nourishment ... and less and less do i try to receive all my nourishment from heavy foods or overeating ...

bliss~

PS-i am grateful to be in acknowledgements in Papa's upcoming new parenting memoir ... oh! and to be in picture for publicity in upcoming events, yay!! :)

Adoration uncontained...

Get your parenting groove on and RSVP for my new Listening To Parents series every Tuesday morning at the Rawprincess ...

Description: Listening To Parents is a holistic lifestyle support group which is free for parents. We do not have childcare at this time and as this a retreat setting for parents' self-care please do not bring children at this time. No exceptions.

I know that it can be overwhelming or feel impossible to take time for yourself and get away from your responsibilities, but trust me, you will be so much more valuable to that family when you get home from this that you will find it is worth pushing through that heavy rock of hopelessness to get here. :)

I am available to listen to you about your lack of childcare for this will simply assist you in figuring things out. Venting and problem solving are your birthright and in regards to this group I am making myself available on Tuesday mornings for these phone calls just before and after our group meets.

503-707-1641 or 651-319-7765

The inability to take time away for self-care is a huge oppression and is why this is not set-up for bringing our dear children at this time. In the future as we develop allies who can watch our young ones as we have our parent time separately in a separate room, we will have this set up.

I am a facilitator for parent groups (off and on for over fifteen years) using a natural listening process which honors and respects diversity and the inner wisdom you already possess. I do not give advice per se. I am a resource and do share information about ways of listening closely and relaxedly to young people and ways to resource one's self as a parent but other than that I rely on your intelligence to sort through this info and find what works best for you and your children.

I am here to back you in your incredibly huge job as a parent.

I am here because as I listen I, too, get a turn to be listened to: this is a mutual support situation.

And the kids always benefit.

Always.
