eat. by Emily Dawson. imagineican

WAKE UP all you people with what Drs have christened as so called IBS, irritable bowel syndrome....

Eating to much fibre rips your bowels, bloats you out & makes you fart! Eatting a sugar loaded dairy digestion aid is BS there is so small amount of healthy bacteria contained in a container, if even any is alive??? in a pot of over advertised Yogurt, it is not going to work!

You can only to fix yourself by taking contol of your emotions & your diet, basically what you are putting onto your system via thoughts, believes, experiences & food!

Talking from my own experience, YES! 10 years of IBS & so called ME -Myalgic Encephalopathy what the F%$*! sounds Important enough to beleive!!!..... Or is it CFS, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, currently it is estimated that around 250,000 people in Britain alone are affected by this illness. I ask you, are they suffering from ME/CFS in Africa you gotta wonder!!!!????? 'GIVE ME LOVE' or 'GIVE ME PURPOSE' syndrome' more like ....Look at your emotions, its the cause not the effect that will cure you.

The reason I highlight ME/CFS is because it is a currently a popular diagnosis & when I was 20, nobody knew what to call it or what to do, there was no medicine, so I went to alternative practitioners & that's how my real journey began. I am now 35 I spent 10 of those years visiting every kind of Dr, healer, therapist, practitioner, read all the books blah blah.... the truth of the matter is & is so in any healing, that it is one's own responsibility to self heal & until one realizes this at core source level, that only you can decide to be in perfect health or not? Your body is always communicating with you the question is are you listening? Through my Dis-Ease I founded the foundations of my path, I am in Gratitude that I can now help others realize theirs. I am now completely whole, healthy & energised to live life in love in full & I love it!

Back to Raw Living, raw does not necessarily fit into a modern lifestyle, but it brings you to your breath, to earth, growth & a feeling of connectedness by simply standing within nature & that is what is wonderful, it takes you back to basics slows you down to a natural pace, which in itself holds challenges. Personally I live an urban big city environment lifestyle, having always thrived, or been an addict to the non stop, buzzing, energising, all go, multi tasking, Adrenalin junky, self demanding desires.... that is what the vibrancy of the a city feeds, a modern life for me.

But I have recently made a conscious choice to re-introduced a few simple pleasures that I get a great joy from one of which is coffee, a total toxin a contradictory NO NO! Yet for me I associate with one of the moments of pleasure in my day, after finishing my morning practice I love to sit outside with my hot bowl of coffee & watch the dawn break, the smells of a knew untarnished day, the sound's of the thing's that become un-noticed as the day progresses & the feeling of appreciation for my own place on the greatness of this planet. So for me the coffee is not toxic, the coffee is joy.

As for 'Raw food' the most common thing I hear from people is 'Yes but my cooked food is my joy my Bottle of wine is joy' & yes I agree those things can be great joy & how we share them are also pleasurable & yes I still very much en- joy my occasionally simply cooked foods & (note) 'A Glass of wine'

My basic Message in this, that, raw suits me & I know it will suit you, it certainly suits the this 'Potentially Utopian Planet!' But most importantly if there is one thing you get from reading this blog that is, it is all in moderation & in moderation I mean balance. I now know when to stop, because for many years I did not & I wondered why I felt so absolutely awful! & that goes across the Bord into all areas of life. 'How we do one thing, is how we do everything!

Imagine Our Planet in Harmony & Balance?
Change begins within!
