Do what you LOVE

Are you doing what you love???

What exactly is it that you love???

Get a pen and piece of paper and write what it is that you love to do, love to see, love to BE.




Everything is possible, trust in yourself and in the Universe.

One of my nutrition clients loved climbing trees, yet she hadn't climbed a tree for over 10 years and forgot the inner child in her. Another loves coffee, but refuses to drink it and gets stressed out about it. A friend of mine wants to travel, but she sits at home on the couch unfufilled. A guy I know has some amazing inventions collecting dust in his cabinet, and is unhappy with his current job... so many of the amazing people around me all have a passion, all have a love, but aren't doing it....

WHY DON'T WE DO WHAT WE LOVE?

A caveman shared this beautiful 6min film with me capturing some of this beautiful world, and pointing out the most beautiful things are right here in front of our beautiful noses to enjoy.
If you are passionate about something then do it, don't waste your life dreaming of a better one.
You are enough. You can do it.

The message is pretty clear... Do what you love! 

Dreams....

Hello Healthy Beings,

If you haven't already subscribed to these quick little gems, have a look at this short 3 minute film

http://soulbiographies.com/dreams-come-true/

Follow your dreams, well why wouldn't we? What's stopping you? Wanna be a surf pro hottie, start with swimming in the ocean and body surf some waves. Too cold?? Get yourself to a local pool and play in the water there. Or make some new rich friends who have a pool or a condo in Costa Rica. Even surf hotties had to start somewhere :)


It could just be one small thing you can achieve at first, and just see what happens.
What makes you smile???

GO DO IT!!! YOU CAN DO IT!!! :)

Still haven't achieved handstand in your yoga practice??? Don't fret, practice with your lover and use some support and soft cushioning for any falls. The point is, just go and do what you want to do in this life. Don't hold back, follow your dreams, whatever they are, however big or small they are, one small step at a time will get you there, the Universe is listening to you.






Ask that person out for a walk, apply for that job, read that book, eat those foods, take that course, travel to that country, leave things that don't serve you behind, get the puppy, buy that chocolate cake, tell them YOU LOVE THEM. Everything will be ok, it always will be.

 Enjoy!

Pura Vida Costa Rica!

I share a treehouse with a geko
He runs across the wood
Eating mozzies in the dark
Protecting me from becoming food
I share a treehouse with some ants
They march across the stones
Carrying huge leaves upon their backs
For storing in big ant homes
I share a treehouse with an iguana
She slides across the roof
Collar of scaly skin flaps around
Colours change as she moves
I share a treehouse with a horse
Outside he chews the grass
Chestnut brown and curious
I share a treehouse with a geko
He runs across the wood
Eating mozzies in the dark
Protecting me from becoming food
I share a treehouse with some ants
They march across the stones
Carrying huge leaves upon their backs
For storing in big ant homes
I share a treehouse with an iguana
She slides across the roof
Collar of scaly skin flaps around
Colours change as she moves
I share a treehouse with a horse
Whose coat is chestnut brown
Outside he chews the grass
Looks at me with eyes of black glass

I share a treehouse with a grasshopper
I think he feels a bit lonely
Making noises with his legs
Calling for his friends to come over
I share a treehouse with four guys
I think they're really cool
We go for a surf in the ocean
Or play and laugh in the tidal pool
I share a treehouse with a monkey
She howls up in the tree
Swinging in branches looking down
On our treehouse family.


On the beach I sit alone waiting for a brand new day
On the beach I sit alone grateful for this today
On the beach alone I sit watching giant waves
On the beach alone I sit peeking through heat haze
On the beach I sit alone absorbing energy from the sun
On the beach I sit alone this life has just begun
On the beach alone I sit picking up the shells
On the beach alone I sit mesmorised in giant swells
On the beach I sit alone rolling in the sand
On the beach I sit alone just where does the break land?
I sit alone on the beach looking at the sky
I sit alone on the beach feeling the most natural high.
On the beach, alone.




The hitchiking shorts still work!
So easy to get a ride :)
I pull on frayed denim over my ass
And onto a bike I slide.
Stick out your thumb
Wear a big smile
Wait for the sound of an engine.
Its all in the bum
Poking out of the denim,
And Im off for another adventure.







The place of Pura Vida!
Can you feel it too?
Find that place inside and make it feel brand new.
Stillness in your being
Being in your stillness
Look without searching now breathe but really feeling.
Clear your mind of chatter
Thoughts that clog your mind
None of it really matters, its yourself you have to find.
Who you are today
And who you are tomorrow
Its the same but always different, but how exciting could be life?
Jump in and go the distance.
How does a place like this find this inner space
It imbeds into your soul
But maybe that is not the case?
Wake up! Come on! Lets go!

The roar of the ocean thunder on the sand, soft with power a yin yang wonderland, slicing through the water, twinkles in the sun, fishes swim below me, dont miss the starting gun. Rising falling peaks like melting white ice cream, paddle harder quicker GO, your muscles start to scream.

Feelin kinda frisky in the blazing winter rays
Sunshine surf and yoga fill these happy days
Tantra is on my body feels open
Sweet smells of ylang ylang in the air when the dust is broken
Constant churn of ocean crawling up the sand
Why is Costa Rica a tropical sexy magic land?

All I want for xmas is a threesome
Two hot surf dudes from California will do
A gallon of vodka and a magerita
Why have one when you can have two?
Mageritas!

Black eye bust lip seventeen bruises
Whose counting?
Surfs up!
Bashed hip, swollen knee, cut foot, bumped chin
Whose counting?
Surfs up!
Tumbled like a washing machine, body flips mid air
Who cares?
Surfs up!
Handstands underwater, gasps for air
Who cares?
Surfs up!
The perfect wave, comes peeling towards
Paddles, stand up, ride it, its your wave!
Surfs up its worth the journey!

Please sir....Can I have some more?

Whats that?? Feeling down? Depressed? Low energy? Sick of the rain?? Maybe you have a cold coming on? Grabbing for chocolate? Mindlessly eating? Feeling irritable and anxious? Not done that project or your homework? Cant concentrate?? What the blaaaaaady hell is wrong with you????

Have an orgasm.

It’s free. It’s fun. It’s healthy. It restores you to your true self. You can share it, go solo, or as part of a team! :)

Way to practice getting into the present moment, totally and completely and utterly JUST LET GO.

Not seduced enough yet?

Here are 10 reasons to up your orgasm quotient for a better healthier you:

1) Orgasm is a powerful stress-reliever. You release loads of oxytocin at climax, which makes you feel sociable, content, safe and relaxed. In fact, oxytocin is the natural antidote to stress hormones in the body.

2) Orgasms will save your relationship. What is the main difference between your intimate relationship and all of your other relationships? The fact that you are having sex with that person. Sex is the glue. Prioritize it and give it the attention it deserves. It will give back. Multiple times. SHAVE YOUR LEGS LADIES AND TAKE OFF GRANDMAS NIGHTIE!!!! MAKE AN EFFORT BOYS AND SUPRISE US WITH NEW MOVES THAT WORK FOR US! :)

3) Anti-aging. People having more sex knock years off their lifespan. Dr. Oz touts a 200 orgasms a year guideline to remove six physiological years off of your life.

4) You’ll unleash your creative genius. Its true!!! Sexual energy equals creativity! Both at the same time often too! Revving it up is a powerful way to summon the muse.

5) It’s good for you heart. Three or more orgasms a week reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke by half and lower your risk of heart disease and high blood pressure.

Your emotional heart will benefit too: Sex strengthens your bond with your partner. The oxytocin released at orgasm promotes bonding, deepening your sense of connection with each other. LOOK at each other, CONNECT. When you look into your lovers eyes, you see yourself looking back, and its infinite. Enjoy!

6) Boosts your immune system. Feel a chill or the tickling of a sore throat? Quick—run and have an orgasm! A Wilkes University study showed that people having sex once or twice a week had a 30% increase in immunoglobulin A, which strengthens immunity.

7) Orgasm recalibrates you. It brings you back to yourself. The French term “la petite mort” or “the little death” alludes to the idea of death and rebirth through sexual climax. We all need a place to come undone. When you have this, you return to your daily life feeling rejuvenated and stronger.

8) Pain relief. When you have a headache, don’t avoid sex. Have it. The endorphin release can relieve up to 70% of your pain symptoms. Headaches and menstrual cramps will be greatly reduced. (OK ok ok chocolate also works well here too)

9) Sexercise. Yes, a vigorous session will burn calories. How much depends on how vigorous. It’s like comparing a gentle Hatha class to a rockin’ Vinyasa. Beyond that, sex and orgasm strengthen little-used internal core muscles that keep you all sorts of supple. Be adventurous, its ok to suggest a wrestling contest!

10) Orgasms make you beautiful. From the pheromones you emit, which make you more attractive, to the estrogen produced, making hair shiny and skin smooth, well-sexed people radiate. They give off a certain magnetism, a je ne sais quoi that is the afterglow of good lovin’. It wears you for days afterward.

There are a plethora of reasons why you ought to have more and multiple orgasms. Care to share yours, come on don't be prude, everyone does it!

Have fun out there, and be safe! :)

Inner Patchouli Peace

Just how do we find this 'inner peace' everyone is raving about? Do we really have to start wearing Patchouli and always let the creepy man at meditation class give you one of those hugs when body parts touch that definitely really aren't meant to. For me, luckily, there is no creepy guy at meditation class, and I quite like Patchouli in small doses and if not used to mask a mouldy tent or wet dog smell. But I still battle with finding inner peace on the meditation mat, which is why I like to seek meditation in everyday life, whatever the weather, whatever the task in hand. Anything that we mindfully practice, focus on, take part in, or do, is a form of meditation if you completely focus on the task at hand.

Here are some examples, the first inspired by my good friend Ignacio. Before sleep he visualises waves, and surfing along them, over and over, calm and serene and perfect, obviously no wipe outs in the visualisation, the point is to keep your mind focused on one thing only, clear out the rest of the chatter. What better way to do that catching a perfect wave. For you this may be going for a run, you focus on your breath you look at the leaves you run over, you feel the fresh air on your face, you don't get into a conversation in your head about the cyclist without a helmet, you just concentrate on your run, one foot in front of the other, breathe, feel. Walk up your stairs and mindfully put each foot on a stair and concentrate on the mechanics of your body as you simply walk up the stairs look at your hand on the rail, slow your breath and move each foot with each breath. Brushing your teeth, focus on mindfully brushing (in a circular motion apparently is best says my Hawaiian themed dentist and his smile is perfect) Really think about what you are doing, I'm brushing my teeth on the left side in a circular motion, the toothpaste is foamy, my teeth are getting cleaned, I'm brushing the right side, I'm brushing my tongue (gag) Get the picture? Mindfully eat your real food, chew and chew until its a paste in your mouth savouring every taste, igniting every taste bud and nourishing every cell, think about your food and what its doing in your body, where it came from, turn the TV off. It may seem pretty dumb, but if you can get your mind to practice only focusing on one thing, you will eventually find it easier to switch your mind on and off for when its needed. There is no instant gratification Ignacio!  It takes time, and you definitely will feel calmer and more relaxed as soon as you start practicing mindfully living, but its the best long term investment you can make for your mind, body and soul connection.

There are so many advantages to meditation.  Try this 100? If you can't focus long enough to read a 100 point list, its definitely time to start meditating and finding 'some' inner peace, however that may be.

Meditation is also completely FREE! It requires no special equipment, it can be practiced anywhere, including Ignacio's rooftop. It can be done at any given moment, walking, running, brushing teeth, at a meditation class, on your bed, in a chair, lying on the floor ANYWHERE. It is not time consuming, try for just 5 minutes a day, and then try 15-20 min. per day. Best of all, meditation has NO negative side effects. Bottom line, there is nothing but positive to be gained from it! With such a huge list of benefits, the question you should ask yourself is, “why am I not meditating yet?” If you need a point to start from after some mindful practice, you could try some guided meditation, here are some free ones here I enjoy http://www.fragrantheart.com/ they can provide you with a good foundation from which to begin meditating. Just try it out, there are quite simply too many positives to just ignore it :) When you are ready to take the next leap on your Inner Peace journey, read this blog with some more meditation tips http://hungrymoose-chelle.blogspot.com/2011/10/day-10.html

Hell go buy some Patchouli too, it has some great benefits The plant and oil have many claimed health benefits in herbal folk-lore and the scent is used to induce relaxation, great to meditate. Chinese medicine uses the herb to treat headaches, colds, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Patchouli oil can be purchased from mainstream Western pharmacies and alternative therapy sources as an aromatherapy oil. Patchouli is an important ingredient in East Asian incense. Both patchouli oil and incense underwent a surge in popularity in the 1960s and 1970s in the US and Europe, mainly due to the hippie movement of those decades, its also used as a conditioner for dreadlocks. You can still be cool in Patchouli, just don't start hugging strangers in a creepy way, unless they are really fit. Then pull the portable twister out.

The wind in Vancouver was intense today, and I couldn't wait to be home and practice some cosy yoga safe indoors in warmth with views of the snow capped mountains in the distance. Our bodies respond to love, and enjoy stretches, especially to Louis Armstrong. I picked up this dreamy stretch from Semperviva's one and only tattooed armed Cameron. Starting in table top, pull back to child's pose, letting the hips fall to the left and right, circling your spine pulling your torso forward, and almost draw the infinity symbol which is a number 8 on its side, rotate your body back, and around, and hear those delightful pops and cracks and snaps, in a good way. Its called a Rice Crispy, not the most nutritional perhaps, but on the money. Enjoy, its my first of many video postings of me showing the poses and I'd love some feedback or some requests! Please help me help others and share my blog and repost and subscribe to the raw subscribers list which you can do by clicking on the tab to the right, thanks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lunKUcZEkmg

Everybodys free to feel good!

Ever just listened to what your body wants? What your body needs? What your body likes? What would you like to eat right now, what would you like to be doing right now, what would you like to feel right now? Dance, eat chocolate, drink red wine, be silly, do yoga, run really fast, kiss your neighbour, be naked, wear something outrageously different, shave your head, high five the bus driver, tell a story, laugh REALLY loud, speak up with your opinion, jump off everything for a day, hold a baby, flash your knickers, flex your muscles, sing your favourite song on the tube, book a road trip, stop shaving, get a tattoo, make a new interesting friend, touch someones skin, just do it because you can, and because it feels good. Shouldn't everyone be allowed this? Everybody's Free to Feel Good! Crank it up, and have a thought for fundamental human rights.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9moNN3MBWEo

Preserve your good times, and relive them over and over, feel grateful for the Freedom you have in your life however big or small that may be. Our bodies are amazing at storing a memory, an emotion, and when we store the good ones we can tap into that feeling we felt over and over and remember to keep making new good memories. Its coming into Winter now, and if you're a sun worshipper, you can easily tap into those moments of warm rays on your face and feel good in the rain, wind or shine. Feel good! Why make ourselves suffer by complaining, its so much easier to feel good and be nice, think positively and be full of love and smiles. Suddenly you'll find you are surrounded by the same things too, and like dominoes you will ooze the feel good hormones!

Being a veggie, pasta used to be a massive part of my diet up until the last five years, and I still miss the comfort factor pasta can provide. Living in Italy last year for a couple of months, I overdosed in pasta along with the Italians and loved the way they just kept it simple. Some quality organic oil, fresh tomato and basil. Really??? Here is a great Raw Food option for a pasta dish without the pasta that will leave your taste buds screaming 'Ancora!'

3-4 courgettes (zucchini), 12 sun dried tomatoes soaked in olive oil, 12 fresh baby tomatoes, fresh basil leaves, 1 tsp of salt (try Himalayan), 0.5 cup of organic olive oil, pine nuts.
Chop the courgettes into thin strips, I used a potato peeler and a knife, it took time but the effect was amazing. You can go all fancy and buy a 'spiraliser' machine which does make it look amazing, but it will still taste the same! Chop the tomatoes into pieces, you could also blend them if you preferred a sauce rather than a chunky style Mediterranean style, stir in the olive oil, salt to taste. Top with basil and pine nuts (or feta if you are allergic to nuts) Crack open the organic red wine (better for hangovers - read blog 'Comfortable in your own skin') Slosh your wine glass around, invite a hot Italian over for dinner and enjoy!

I met a new lovely friend called Jasmin, originally from Germany, and lived all over the world. Who said the English and the Germans can't be friends?? Oh yeah male football lovers, get a life guys! :) Jasmin married the same guy twice and gives me renewed faith in that old thing called Love. We are at the same school studying Holistic Nutrition together, not the same class, but definitely the same wave length. Walking on the beach getting to know each other, playing in the leaves, talking about love, autumn, cats and dogs, food, babies, silly and yoga! What a great way to spend an afternoon, I'm grateful to meet lovely new people everyday, they keep showing up all around me and suddenly I don't feel lonely anymore. Sitting on logs and creating 'Cactus' pose in our shadows looking out to the snow capped peaks over on North Vancouver, Grouse Mountain and her sisters slowly get covered each day with more snow, its wonderful to witness. I'm so happy to be here!




Back bending into Wheel pose means you can look at the mountains upside down!! I took advantage of a potential soft sand landing and having a camerawoman. Besides it just FELT GOOD!

The word Urdhva-Dhanurasana which means "raised bow", and the term Chakra Asana which comes from the root "to move" both describe the Wheel posture. This pose is quite energizing and is the advanced version of Bridge Pose. You can perform the posture in the morning or day time. It has positive physical and mental effects when practiced regularly and is a great tonic for the body. Wheel Pose is a backbend that benefits the spine. It strengthens and lengthens every vertebrae, therefore increasing elasticity and flexibility of the spine. As you hold yourself up in the pose, you are strengthening your arms, shoulders and chest as well as stimulating the entire cardiovascular system.
This pose opens up the chest area, strengthening the lungs and allowing more oxygen to enter the rib cage. It improves the respiratory system and great for those with ashma or any other breathing problems. It's important to breath deeply in the pose with both nostrils. If you suffer from any digestive disorders, then the wheel pose can help. It also enhances the nervous system and improves secretions of the hormones keeping you balanced and healthy.

Be thankful for everything you have in life....even the stuff you thought was crap.

Namaste.

Outreach Yoga Challenge - Day 30 Gratitude

‘’It is better to travel well than to arrive." ~Buddha

So my 30 day challenge for Outreach is over, and time for me to reflect on my experience so far. Instantly I know that this isn’t over for me, I love to share ideas and information, I love to know I’ve helped a few budding yogi’s along the way. Or maybe you just took the body brush tips, or the hot lemon water. If you took anything from the challenge so far, then thank you, I’m truly honoured you took time to read this and even try out the advice.  Blogging my raw experiences along the way has also helped me study at school, think more clearly about my yoga practice, and look at how I really think about certain issues. I would highly recommend keeping a blog, a diary, a journal and get your thoughts out on paper, or just share them with a friend, talk things over. Don't have thoughts swirling around like leaves in your head, there is too much living to be done to be raking them up all of the time. It really helps too, so thanks for listening :)

My intention for the challenge in practicing yoga for 30 days consistently, was to blog my experience, explain some yoga asanas, share my thoughts and advise on everything from nutrition to love. My ego gets in the way sometimes, I feel it brewing and I still post the LOOK AT ME photographs anyway, but the intention was to grasp your attention in the hope you would find the blog more enjoyable and fun. Funny how ‘sex sells’ the blogs containing arse, boobs and body all definitely had the highest hits, and on reflection I was manipulating my readers with captions like ‘Are you looking at my tits’. All in good spirits of course!

My longer term intention is to keep sharing yoga with everyone who is interested, keep sharing nutrition advice for everyone who needs it, and mainly keep sharing love for anyone you wants it. Thanks so much to everyone who sponsored me and donated some pennies, now the challenge is over and I’ve successfully completed it would be great if you could spare a couple bucks/pounds/euros and help Outreach Charity continue their fine work in helping the vulnerable through Yoga. I’ll be continuing to work with them during my stay in Vancouver teaching yoga to those suffering with trauma, depression and abuse. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE spare some cash for the charity if you can.

http://www.canadahelps.org/GivingPages/GivingPage.aspx?gpID=14769

I’ll be continuing my blog, with some new interesting angles, its my aim to continue sharing yoga and holistic nutrition forever and it will be with you coming to staying in my holistic yoga homestay retreat in the mountains somewhere with the ocean. If you have anything to share please send me an email with some suggestions for the blog, would love to research anything nutrition, holistic, yoga, and the world related! Thanks for all your sweet messages, thanks to GOD AND MY MOM AND I ACCEPT THIS OSCAR...oh...wrong gig.

What a lovely bunch of coconuts!

Once mistakenly thought to be bad because of its saturated fat content, coconut oil is now known to contain a unique form of saturated fat that actually helps prevent heart disease, stroke, and hardening of arteries. The saturated fat in coconut oil is unlike the fat found in meat or other vegetable fats. It is identical to a special group of fats found in human breast milk, which have been shown to improve digestion, strengthen the immune system, and protect against bacterial, viral and fungal infections. These fats derived from coconut oil, are now routinely used in hospital IV formulations and commercial baby formulas. They’re also used in sports drinks to boost energy and enhance athletic performance. However, there is nothing better than drinking pure coconut juice straight from the tree...in costa rica... Coconut Oil Miracle benefits;

For the last Yoga session as part of the Outreach challenge, Mark and I opted out of Occupying Vancouver again, and took a Hatha Meditative class, with some yin and really restored and reflected. The class was just what I needed, deep long spinal twists with a cheeky revolved triangle to remind me, to practice!!! Does practice really make perfect?

Namaste
