Feed Your Fractal of Wellness and Success – February 2017 Newsletter Article

Wellness and success, like everything else, is fractal in nature and follows certain, discernible rhythms and cycles.

Things rarely occur “all at once”.  Each season reveals an expansion phase and a contraction phase which lasts for over 3 months.  The process of spring starts within winter and expires within summer.  Everything is energy and it all follows sine wave patterns of ebb and flow.

Wellness and success also follow the same sine wave pattern: the larger being birth to death and this is filled with shorter sine waves, which form the flow of our well-being and success.  Everything follows the cycles of our Earth.

The seasons are marked with solstices and equinoxes and these same patterns can be found within all aspects of our life journey.  Wellness starts deep within illness and continues through to healing (expansion phase) and declines with the next challenge to our health (contraction phase).  The oscillations will always be there but we can minimize the discomfort by reducing the intensity of the sine wave.

Just like Yin and Yang, there is light during the winter solstice as we perform light rituals all around the world.  We also bring in the cold of winter during the summer solstice as we add ice to our beverages, and seek the shade of day and the cool of evening.

In like manner, there will be days of suffering during wellness and days of comfort during times of illness.  The sine waves of life are gradual because as humans, we experience time in very slow terms as 3D reality.  Matter is energy in extreme slow motion: Energy = Mass times the speed of light (C) squared.

My sociology professor, Roger Albert, describes the sine wave of the goings on within societies as being like an argyle sock pattern.  In a similar way, Thorstein Bunde Veblen, the sociologist, looked at the process of society as being like a river.  If you observe a river over time, you will see that its form is constantly changing as matter is picked up here and dropped off there.  Life is a process where we, like the rivers, pick up data, beliefs, habits, behaviours, etc. and we drop them off as we go along upskilling ourselves with new data, beliefs, habits and behaviours.  We are ever changing, growing and evolving.  Everything we perceive is a fractal phenomenon of change.  The ups & downs of life can also be summarized with the saying: “this too shall pass”.

Everything from the foods we eat to the energy we share as we perfect our craft cycles throughout life: small cycles within larger cycles: expansion and contraction: death and renewal.  Yin and Yang.  When we look at our life process in this way, we become more concerned with the quality of our lives rather than quantity.  Each moment is a gift, and we are constantly making decisions on the care and upkeep of this gift as we care for our bodies and perceptions in the Now.  This is self-love.

Self-love dissolves madness.  It is madness to knowingly harm ourselves, but millions do so as they continue to consume food-like products and indulge in a plethora of other addictions.  During the ebb and flow of life’s cycles, a harm-reduction strategy can easily be established with help from our Inner Guru – who knows every detail about us.  All we need do is be willing to listen, learn and apply.

This is called crafting life.  Self-love makes crafting life possible.  It starts by becoming very open and honest with ourselves about what we truly desire in life.  We often push our heartfelt desires away because we don’t think they are realistic or obtainable.  Succeed and become well within the oscillations of life.  Spend time every day thinking about what you truly desire.  Then ask yourself: What would be better than this?  Let your imagination out for a run.  When you feel truly joyful, you know you have found your bliss.  Now make the decision to go after your desire and spend some time choosing your first baby-steps.  Don’t plan too far ahead.  Check in with the Inner Guru and clarify to course correct as you go.  Just keep your eyes on the prize, and enjoy the process as it occurs in the Now.

It doesn’t take long before you begin to notice easier ways of doing things.  In the Now state, it becomes possible and desirable to apply harm reduction strategies because in these sacred moments, we are healed of our insanity.  This is how we leave non compos mentis and gain compos mentis, or mastery over ourselves.

Eventually, we spend longer and longer periods of time being fully present as we stop wasting our energy on fruitless distractions.  This energy serves us very well as we reach mastery of the Observer Within.  We are less hindered by time and distance as we raise our personal resonant frequency and more things become possible.

Heartfelt desire is the seed, and within this fertile zone of being, all things become possible and probable.  Wellness and success, like everything else, is fractal in nature and follows certain, discernable rhythms and cycles.  Keep your eyes open to reveal the opportunities found within the sine wave patterns of ebb and flow.  Presence and awareness unlock the vaults of abundance and health.  This is how we feed our fractal flow of wellness and success.

Good Health to You!

New Year’s Resolutions – January 2017 Newsletter Article

Let’s face it, fixing things makes us feel good.  In effect, New Year’s resolutions are an attempt to feel better by fixing something – usually personal habits and behaviours.

For some time now, I have been observing my life as a game.  My game plan is to fix myself with help from my Inner Guru, and then as I gain momentum, teach others to fix themselves by assisting them to find their own personal Inner Guru.

How do I access and utilize my Inner Guru?  I create space within so there is a “place” for my Inner Guru to emerge.  I spend time every day sitting without distractions.  I let my thoughts flow without censorship or judgement from the position of an observer.  Doing so allows me to experience “a-ha!-moments” found within my observations (quite obvious from the observer perspective).  Other names for those “A-ha! moments” are Eureka! Hallelujah! Epiphany!  In this way, I fix myself simply through awareness.

Once I became adept with this process, my Inner Guru just started to jump into my awareness as I go about my daily life experience.  Since life is a great big social experiment, why not rely on these “a-ha! moments” while you discern what you want out of life, and then plot your course to get there.  Only one small step at a time needs to be figured out in any detail.

Along with noticing thoughts, become more aware of body sensations.  Refrain from telling yourself a story about these sensations.  Resist the urge to remember how and when any unpleasant physical/emotional feelings began, or what they mean.  Resist the urge to self-diagnose or see bodily sensations as a problem, no matter how intense the sensation may be.  Just feel your feelings while you try to relax.  Focus on your breathing.  Thank your body for the healing, and your Inner Guru for the message.  Keep breathing.

The process of healing the body and emotions can be a painful, undesirable experience, but only in the light of presence, can we understand this process and the messages contained within the experience.  The injury only hurts at the moment it occurs, while the illness may not hurt at all until you are faced with the healing.  All sensations that occur after the initial injury are the result of your body and mind repairing itself.

For example, when we first get a cold or flu, we are not aware of our illness and this is when we are most contagious.  The symptoms occur as the body defends and repairs itself.  The runny nose, the sore throat, swollen glands and headache are all the symptoms of healing, and this is why by the time the symptoms emerge, you are usually no longer contagious.

Healing hurts!  The symptoms are the healing.  So if we go to see the doctor for a prescription to alleviate the symptoms, we inadvertently stop or slow down our own healing.  Now of course, if I broke my arm, I would go to see the doctor and probably take something so I could deal with the pain initially, but you get my point.  The doctor may reset the bones and put on a cast, but the pain from the injury is created by my body healing itself.

I find the same is true for my emotions.  It is the “A-ha!s” that cure us, and “A-ha! moments” do not come from thoughts.  They come from calm observation of the self, and from feeling the feelings, and then breathing through them during quiet periods of self-contemplation.

In the past, every time I felt emotional pain, I ran for the closest distraction.  At times, this included inadvertently inflicting physical suffering upon myself, in order to not feel my feelings, and to distract myself from the message.  I was ignoring my Inner Guru and the wealth of awareness and learning these experiences offered me.

For some of us, over-eating serves this purpose.  Over-eating can cause oneself enough physical discomfort to create a distraction from undesirable feelings.  As a harm reduction strategy, I do not limit my food intake, but limit instead the range of foods I allow myself to eat.  If I am going to over-eat, then I may as well build up my health and detoxify in the process.  As we eat, we can feel our feelings and sort ourselves out.  I call this my “have my cake and eat it to” approach to expanding awareness within imperfection.

As mentioned earlier, “A-ha! moments” do not come from thoughts.  If we could figure it all out with thoughts and self-soothing stories, we would not continue to suffer.  Through self-contemplation, I found that most of my personal baggage was the result of all of the “loose ends” I had accumulated in the past.  I had the habit of leaving a lot of business unfinished.

I also use self-reflective times for problem-solving by looking at matters from a new, impartial viewpoint.  My awareness expands with every “a-ha! moment”.  This is how our higher selves, or Inner Guru, heals us.  But if we do not take the courage to feel our feelings and look at things which may make us feel uncomfortable, our “A-ha!s” are stunted and may rarely occur.

This is part of the Ascension process.  We clarify and evolve over and over again, earning for ourselves better health and happier lives.  Even if we do not get to the state of totally curing ourselves, and find ourselves dying physically, the social experiment continues and we continue to face more “A-ha! moments” of expanding awareness and consciousness.

Let’s face it, fixing things makes us feel good.  Perhaps our New Year’s resolutions could be to spend time each day in quiet self-contemplation making space for our own Inner Guru and healing.

Eating for Optimal Gut Health – August 2016 Newsletter Article

In my past I missed out on much of life because I didn’t feel well enough to participate.  When I became sick and tired of being sick and tired, I got serious about my recovery.  I saw many doctors and specialists who came up with labels like: fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, PTSD, depression, colitis, migraines, acid reflux – but despite the many pharmaceuticals they prescribed, I did not get better.  I got worse.

In 2006 I had a severely botched abdominal surgery which left me with a seriously compromised digestive system and toxic body.  It is a miracle that I survived my 6 week stay in hospital, and the suffering I experienced after I was sent home.  This experience brought me to my knees and I was ready to do anything to get better, (suicide was my only other option to escape the intense suffering).

In 2007 I did a 43 day raw juice fast, which detoxified my body but did little to heal my gut.  I was still suffering.  After this, I transitioned to a raw vegan lifestyle which gave me plenty of nutrients but again, did little to heal my gut.  I was still suffering.  Since eating “super healthy” did not bring me the expected results, I added seafood, eggs and dairy to my diet.  By 2011 I was diagnosed with cancer and returned to eating mostly organic, raw vegetables, seaweeds, and berries, with the addition of organic eggs, yogurt and the occasional cage-free chicken.  This was my semi-lacto-oval vegetarian phase, and I was able to cure all of my cancer symptoms within 3 months, but I was still experiencing gastric distress.

The importance of Gut Biome to overall health and well-being has only recently come to light.  Prior to this year, I thought that taking a good quality probiotic along with sauerkraut and other fermented foods was all I needed to improve my gut health.  Then mid-June of this year, I was again brought to my knees with digestive pain for about a month, which the doctor identified as severe gastritis with complications due to my previous 7 major abdominal surgeries.  BTW I tried digestive enzymes and they were counter-productive.

A friend suggested bone broth as an alternative cure and I did some research.  I was surprised to find out that I had created the “perfect storm” by eating everything on the FODMAPs avoid list.

What is FODMAPs?  It is an acronym for a list of very common, but undigestible foods for people with sensitive/leaky guts.  According to the research, avoiding FODMAPs and consuming bone broth for 6 weeks would help heal my gut allowing for a whole new level of wellness.  Afterwards, I will be able to digest my food, and as I slowly reintroduce a broader range of foods, I will find out which foods are going to stay on my permanent avoid list.

After living a raw vegan lifestyle for over a year, I was concerned about returning to animal products.  A friend suggested a local meat market that only carries grass fed, humanely treated, chemical free meats, so I bought some soup bones and some bone broth and started my new eating program.

Within 24 hours I felt a whole lot better.  After about 10 days, I noticed improvement to my health.  For one thing, I felt very calm and unshakeable.  My life-long troubles with neck and hip pain, complicated with several forms of arthritis, no longer exist.  I now have much smoother range of motion.  I also suffered from TMJ, (which causes face, jaw, and ear pain with headaches) for over 40 years, and this too is no longer the case.  Then there is my newfound bowel health, absence of bloating and abdominal distress.  I even noticed an improvement in my eyesight!

At this point, I am following a paleo approach to eating, avoiding FODMAPs and consuming bone broth with sea weeds.  I am enjoying the absence of brain fog, and am much more productive over-all.  What I have learned is that there is no one right way to eat.  We are indogenous beings, which means we can adapt to many different environments and ways of eating.

I suggest we consider our blood type, and dominant ancestral background before we start a new eating plan.  Peoples of the arctic thrive on mostly meat and animal fat, peoples from the tropics do well with tropical fruits and taro. I have a strong Anglo-Saxon background and suspect a paleo approach suits my needs best.  A simple diet of bone broth, grass fed meats/fats and all of the low FODMAP fruits and vegetables are what I need right now to heal my gut, and strengthen my body.

The moral of my story is: regardless of lifestyle, if you are eating well, have cut out processed/refined foods and are not thriving, then perhaps you are having trouble digesting your food.  Do the research and find out if your gut needs some T.L.C.

As you experiment, my website will continue to assist, so you can transform your life and become the healthiest, happiest you possible!  Quantum Health Transformation™ is the same flexible program I use myself; and this free online 9 Step course will assist everyone (with any health or lifestyle concerns) to heal, evolve and thrive.  I also offer orgone generating products and a full range of educational and support services.  You are not alone.

QHT: A New Health Paradigm – May 2016 Newsletter Article

In what way is Quantum Health Transformation™ a new health paradigm?

In response, let me tell you what I have noticed: most people want to find the easiest way to improve their health, vitality and abundance; but unfortunately they look to old paradigm methods or fall for mere marketing ploys. Most programs and products that they think will change their life for the better, are in reality fake, or only provide assistance with one small area of life.

The majority of alternative health practitioners recommend nutritional supplements in the form of pills, potions and powders to the point that they closely resemble the physicians who support big pharma.  We all would like to find that “magic bullet” but the truth is that we are complex and we need to address all aspects of who we are in order to thrive.

I have seen people who support the whole/raw foods movements but fail to avoid the risks of eating pesticide laden foods.  I have seen vegans eating a lot of processed, sugar laden and cooked-to-death foods.  I have seen healthy eaters who prepare and serve foods in toxic kitchenware, cheap disposable and very toxic party supplies, or plastic/styrofoam take-out containers.

Truth is we need to learn to eat real, clean, fresh domestic and wild foods – in other words: a biologically appropriate diet.  We need to learn to detoxify and alkalize our bodies on a daily basis if we want to recover from or prevent disease.  No one is perfect but there needs to be some serious self-reflection regarding lifestyle if people want to recover, heal and get more out of life.

This is why I developed and personally follow the 9 Steps to Quantum Health Transformation.

Quantum Health Transformation™ includes everything you need to know in order to transform your health and life experience into a complete state of wellness. It is more than physical, mental, spiritual or social. I offer tools, methods & practices to assist you to become the change you want to see in the world.  We are all connected: Heal the planet by healing yourself.  This is the New Health Paradigm.

Quantum Health is the total state of well-being made up of many components which must be understood and upgraded as a comprehensive unit in order to gain the desired final result. Bring comfort to the body, happiness to the mind and joy to the spirit through detoxification & nutrition, grounding & spiritual practises, light/shadow & female/male energy integration techniques, and the Law of Attraction.

My website will give you everything you need to transform your life and become the healthiest, happiest you possible! Quantum Health Transformation™ is the same program I use myself; in fact I developed it as I lost and keep off 178 pounds of excess weight and continue to evolve and enjoy the life I have always wanted. This free online 9 Step course will assist anyone (with any health or lifestyle concerns) to heal, evolve and thrive. I also offer an expanding selection of products to help you to get started, and a full range of educational and support services.  You are not alone.

Freedom from illness, freedom from fear and loneliness, freedom from feelings of separation and alienation: I will assist you with your freedom process.

My website delivers everything you need to transform your life and become the healthiest, happiest you possible!  Quantum Health Transformation© is the same program I use myself; in fact I developed it as I lost and keep off 178 pounds of excess weight, and continue to evolve and enjoy the life I have always wanted.

As described in my 9 Step video course: food, chemicals in our environment, what we think about and believe, and our daily practices all affect our biochemistry and thus our mental and physical health.  These factors can create symptoms that often appear to be psychological (mental) in nature, but are actually physiological (physical).  Discover how mental and physical symptoms can be eliminated or reduced by correcting all the imbalances in your life and environment.  As we bring enjoyable, healthful practises into your life, the old negative, self-defeating habits fall away automatically.  I would love to support you through your journey of self-discovery and recovery.

My free 9 Step Quantum Health Transformation© online course will assist anyone (with any health or lifestyle concerns) to evolve, manifest and thrive.  This video series offers many different options for healing.  Steps 9 through 4 were covered in previous issues of this magazine; Steps 3, 2 & 1 are summarized here:

The Quantum Health Transformation Step 3 PRIMER slideshow video features techniques to help you to manifest more effectively so that your life better resembles your desires.  Find out how all things follow an expansion and contraction pattern, and by working with this, we can will anything into our experience which benefits us. The LIVE action video (of the same name) shows you some of the amazing results that I have personally experienced by following my own techniques.  Besides losing a significant amount of weight, I have dramatically improved my relationships with loved ones, and overcame financial disaster.

The Quantum Health Transformation Step 2 PRIMER slideshow video explains Higher Selves in universal terms so you can create a framework to facilitate access to the Spirit Guides of your choice, and access the Akashic Records/Living Library, and beyond.  The subconscious mind is complex but not inaccessible.  Just as you care about yourself, so does your subconscious mind, because it is a part of you.  Then join me for the LIVE video (of the same name) to learn about Higher Selves as I experience them in my own life.  I explain what my experiences are like, what is required in order to have some of these experiences happen in your life, and the benefits that come from being able to access our Higher Selves.

The Quantum Health Transformation Step 1 PRIMER & LIVE videos explain “state of bliss” and how we can personally achieve it.  Bliss includes feelings of perfect happiness and spiritual joy.  Achieving a state of bliss requires comfort for the body, mental happiness and contentment, along with a joyful spirit.  This combination creates a magical condition which makes all things possible. By practicing the 9 Steps to Quantum Health Transformation©, we bring comfort to the body (Steps 8, 6 &5), happiness to the mind (Steps 9, 7, 4 & 3) and joy to our spirit (Steps 2 & 1), thus creating the conditions necessary to feel a “state of bliss”.  I offer some non-religious exercises that will bring joy to your spirit and create a reality environment which is peaceful, and rewarding.  These exercises will improve every experience you have – in surprising ways.

Quantum Wellness: detoxify, nourish & evolve!

(Article adapted from the Comox Valley Health and Recreation Guide: Summer 2014 Issue)

As mentioned previously, improving what we eat, drink, do, say, believe & perceive forms complete or quantum wellness; however, real food (fresh, wild, raw, organic, non GMO & unprocessed) is the quintessential cornerstone of transformative health.  “People are fed by the Food Industry, which pays no attention to health, and are treated by the Health Industry, which pays no attention to food.” Wendell Berry

The 9 Steps to Quantum Health Transformation© (my free, online video course) offers you the same solutions I personally use as I evolve and enjoy the life & health I always wanted  – I’ve lost 178 pounds!  This video course offers many different options for healing – Steps 9, 8 & 7 were covered in my last article, and Steps 6, 5 & 4 are summarized here:

Quantum Health Transformation Step 6 includes a lot of valuable information so I have broken it down into four parts.  The Step 6, Part 1 PRIMER demonstrates the common ways we inadvertently poison ourselves through the personal care products we use, and suggests some very economical alternatives.  Simply changing the way we groom our bodies and clean our homes can contribute to weight loss, clearer thinking and better health.

The Step 6, Part 2 PRIMER investigates ways we inadvertently poison ourselves with food-like products, and it provides insight into the easiest ways to detoxify your body.  These simple remedies assist you to a healthier body, clearer mind and even if you are at your ideal weight, will help to improve your stamina significantly.

The Step 6, Part 3 PRIMER deals with emotions, explains how food-like products affect our brains and emotions in the same way as cocaine and heroin, and shows what a sweetener addiction might look like.  Then I introduce you to ways to make all of your emotions work for you on your journey to well-being.

The Step 6 LIVE action video features highlights from the Step 6 PRIMERS as I demonstrate how easy it is to make & use the products you need to detoxify your whole self. Detoxification is absolutely essential in order to recover, lose excess weight and thrive.

The Step 5 PRIMER video explains how a well-nourished body carries energy much more efficiently and facilitates rapid healing, weight loss (when needed), and an improved sense of wellbeing.  Spirituality involves energy – and when we prepare ourselves to receive and utilize this energy – our conception of reality and what is possible expands making room for an enhanced life experience.

The Step 5 LIVE action video features my experiences which led me to a deeper understanding of the link between food and spirituality.  Join me to learn how a vacant city lot and a rustic Northern Vancouver Island lifestyle opened my eyes to alternative routes to health and happiness.

In the Step 4 PRIMER I show you how words form concepts (ideas), which shape beliefs, which determine our view of the world (perspective), which influences the feedback essential for self-guided learning (evolution): Heuristics.  With a shift in perception you will discover unnoticed options that were there all along; experience the power of heuristics so you can speak your truth with amazing outcomes!

In the Step 4 LIVE action video I will show you how the lessons from the Step 4 PRIMER video work in practical terms.  Once we recognize healthful patterns, we can distinguish between denial, and transformational affirmation which builds confidence, commitment and faith.  See how I tackled my own obesity issues and debt recovery while illustrating a doable harm reduction strategy featuring changes to internal and external dialog.

The Step 9 – 3 videos are now conveniently featured under the “Free Resources” tab of my website.  Feel free to choose the Step which is most useful to you, and contact me if you have any questions.  There are several options for your customized lifestyle program found here.

Again: as described in my 9 Step video series: food, chemicals in our environment, what we think about and believe, and our daily practices all affect our biochemistry and thus our mental and physical health.  Discover how mental and physical symptoms can be eliminated or reduced by correcting all the imbalances and influences in your life.  As we bring enjoyable, healthful practices into your life, the old negative, self-defeating habits fall away automatically.  I would love to support you through your journey of self-discovery and recovery.

Quantum Wellness: it’s all about you!

pic for article3(Article adapted from the Comox Valley Health and Recreation Guide: Spring 2014 Issue)

The 9 Steps to Quantum Health Transformation© show you holistic ways to improve what you eat, drink, do, say, believe & perceive – all to form a more complete, or quantum field of wellness – and it all starts with you!  Steps 9 through 7 give you some useful tools for raising your self-awareness; making self-reflection, connection and personal responsibility possible.

Real food (fresh, raw, organic, wild, non GMO & unprocessed) is the quintessential cornerstone of transformative health (see Step 5).  However, Steps 9, 8 & 7 focus on the socio/psychological aspects of wellness.  Each Step features at least 2 videos: one is a slideshow PRIMER (providing the details) and the other is a LIVE video (providing examples from my life experience).  Step 9 focuses on self-awareness, perception and integration.  Step 8 focuses on grounding, environmental awareness and identifying core belief systems.  Step 7 focuses on social awareness, state of being and choosing new belief systems.  Steps 6, 5, 4 are featured in my next blog post.

The Step 9 videos really put the Quantum Mechanics component into your lifestyle program.  “Nubby Ball”© is a conceptual tool giving you insight into the “bigger picture” as you step away from emotionalism and into the clearer spaces of logic and accountability.  By overcoming our binary programming, and our black/white, positive/negative world view, we can see things as truly complex and dynamic.  “Nubby Ball”© helps us to understand the social issues that cause us discomfort and assists us to reconcile cognitive dissonance.

The Step 8 videos offer an easy program of daily practice to soothe your mind, body and soul so you feel securely grounded.  They also give you some practical tips on how to start recognizing and changing your own belief patterns to make way for quantum recovery and personal evolution. The Step 8 LIVE action video was shot at beautiful Goose Spit in Comox, BC.

Once your core belief systems are identified in Step 8, it is now time to develop them further with Step 7.  These videos are designed to assist you with quantum well-being by expanding your awareness of gender, and provide a simple process for incorporating the best traits, which are socially/culturally associated with being male or female, into our own unique way of being.

The Step 9 – 7 videos are now conveniently featured there under the “Free Resources” tab.  Once you have watched my videos, feel free to choose the Step which you feel will be the most useful to you, and check out my services for your customized lifestyle program.  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

I can’t stress this point enough: food, chemicals in our environment, what we think about and believe, and our daily practices all affect our biochemistry and thus our mental and physical health.  Discover how mental and physical symptoms can be eliminated or reduced by correcting all the imbalances and influences in your life and environment.  As we bring enjoyable, healthful practises into your life, the old negative, self-defeating habits fall away automatically.  I would love to support you through your journey of self-discovery and recovery.

As mentioned in my previous article, this website delivers everything you need to transform your life and become the healthiest, happiest you possible!  You will also find an expanding selection of products to help you get started and full range of public and personal services.  Subscribe to my newsletter, and You Tube channel, and you will soon be well on your way to your own Quantum Health Transformation.  Life is good!

The Most Nutritious Food on the Planet

Raw hemp seeds are the most nutritious food in the world because they are a rich source of phytonutrients (the healing elements of plants), with benefits protecting your immunity, bloodstream, tissues, cells, skin, organs and mitochondria. Hemp seeds do not contain THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the active substance in marijuana. This Super-Food provides a broad spectrum of health benefits including: weight loss, increased and sustained energy, rapid recovery from disease or injury, lowered cholesterol and blood pressure, reduced inflammation, improvement in circulation and immune system as well as natural blood sugar control. Raw hemp seed offers a superior balance of proteins, essential fatty acids, vitamins and enzymes; and is much more balanced & digestible than soy or whey products.

Raw hemp seeds contain Vitamin A, B1, B2, B6, C, D, E (alpha-, beta-, gamma-, delta-tocopherol & alpha tocotrienol), Lecithin (choline & inositol) & Chlorophyll.  They contain Essential Minerals: phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, sulphur, calcium, iron, manganese, zinc, sodium, silicon, copper, platinum, boron, nickel, germanium, tin, iodine, chromium, silver and lithium; and supply an abundance of life force energy & enzymes. An adult dose of 55 to 75 grams per day is very low in cholesterol and sodium, but is a great source of zinc, phosphorus, magnesium and iron – important for bone health, oxygen delivery and immune health.

Hemp seeds are the only plant food that contains all 9 of the essential amino acids (20 amino acids in total) and 9 essential fatty acids (in the perfect ratio) – all in an easily digestible form!  It meets so many of our nutritional needs, I believe it is the best nutrient source food to build and maintain health.

These embryonic seeds are unique with enough proteins to provide all the essential amino acids to form the globular proteins that form the building blocks to life and immunity.  65% of hemp seed protein is globulin edistin, making it the highest source in the plant kingdom.  Edistins are plant globulins and all enzymes, antibodies, many hormones, haemoglobin and fibrogin are also globular proteins, and necessary for life.  Albumin, globulin and fibrogin (plasma proteins) serve as a reservoir of rapidly available amino acids should any body tissues be in need, and they are responsible for both the natural and acquired immunity a person has against invading organisms. They neutralize alien microorganisms and toxins.

Since hemp seed protein is 65% globulin edistin, and 35% albumin, it gives the body all the essential amino acids required to maintain health; and provide the necessary kinds, and amounts, of amino acids the body needs to make human serum albumin and serum globulins (like the immune enhancing gamma globulins). Eating hemp seeds is known to heal people suffering from immune deficiency diseases. When we have a good supply of these protein building amino acids, our muscles stay strong, and our body is able to react quickly and effectively to changes, pressures, injuries and infections. Hemp seeds reduce heart disease and stroke; build muscle improving strength & endurance; balance blood sugar and brain chemistry; improve neurological & brain health as they serve as neurotransmitters and precursors; promote rapid healing; strengthen bones and detoxify the body.  Hemp seeds are the most nutritious food sources on the planet!

Hemp seed oil comprises 35% of the total seed weight. This oil has the lowest amount of saturated fatty acids (8%), and the highest amount of the polyunsaturated essential fatty acids (80%).  Hemp seeds are the highest botanical source of essential fatty acids (EFAs), with more EFAs than flax or any other nut or seed oil, and provide the perfect 3:1 ratio of Omega-6 Linoleic Acid and Omega-3 Linolenic Acid – for cardiovascular health and general strengthening of the immune system. This perfect ratio & ideal balance of EFAs Omega 3, 6 & 9 provide several times more Omega 3 than any fish, and promote heart health, lower triglycerides, work to reduce inflammation, promote brain health, and support the immune system.  Omega 9 is an especially rare yet important EFA, also referred to as Gamma Linoleic Acid (GLA) which has powerful anti-oxidant & anti-inflammatory properties effective in balancing out hormones (necessary to alleviate mood swings and PMS).  Low in carbohydrates, hemp seeds are ideal for those following the paleo diet or who are carb conscious for their health.

Essential fatty acids (EFAs) cannot be made by the human body and must be obtained through the diet. They are necessary to produce life energy from food and move that energy throughout the body. EFAs govern growth, vitality and state of mind, and are necessary in the most active energy and electron exchanging and oxygen requiring tissues; especially the brain, retina, inner ear, adrenal and testicular tissues. They carry the high energy required by the most active tissues, and ensure very high oxygen availability to them. Life force travels through the body via the essential fatty acids and their derivatives.

Hemps seeds not only provide EFAs and protein, they also provide fibre: a nutrient many people do not get enough of in their diet.  Women need at least 25 grams of fibre a day, and men 38 grams. Hemp seeds are comprised of 10 to 15 percent fibre, helping to alleviate the effects of chronic digestive system problems.  Further, not all of the oil contained in them is digested.  Some remains intact to lubricate the digestive system.  There are no known allergies to hemp seeds, and they are of special benefit to those who are unable to eat gluten, lactose, sugar, fish, nuts, meat and other common foods. Combined with high fibre fruits, vegetables, nuts and other seeds in the diet, expect regular bowel movements.

Hulled, raw hemp seeds have greatly contributed to my weight loss because they reduce the cravings for foods which assisted me to not eat sugars, starches and saturated fats.  By providing all of the essential fatty acids, proteins and most vitamins and other nutrients necessary for promoting good health, hemp seeds keep me feeling satisfied so I no longer desire starches and carbohydrates. I feel more long lasting energy and have become much more active.  Now I am more productive, much more energetic and less affected by stress.  If I eat raw hulled hemp seeds every morning, I always experience abundant energy with no need to “pep up” with sweet foods, soft drinks or stimulants.  Hemp seeds naturally balance blood sugars which stabilize my hunger, mood and energy, and the fibre improves bowel function and increases feelings of fullness so I eat less.

Suggested Use:

  • Hulled hemp seed is delicious, gluten free, raw and vegan. Add it to pretty much everything you eat, (or eat it by itself).
  • (55 grams) 5 heaping tablespoons or more of hulled raw hemp seed with raw fruits and vegetables makes a great breakfast, giving your body a healthy start. You can add it to your morning smoothie.

The Body Temple and the Spirituality of Food

The saying, “You are what you eat” is truer than some realize.  Your body is an amazing machine which is made up of components from the planet, solar system and heavens beyond.  Real foods are grown in the soil, where they absorb minerals and other things, which combine with the energy from the sun to form new elements, which become us.  Food has also been recognized as medicine for thousands of years in many cultures (old & new world) and the concept was made popular in the post-classical ages by Hippocrates (460 BC – 375 BC).  Unfortunately this knowledge was mostly lost to industrialized nations who put more faith in marketing strategies than in traditional healing styles.  Now things have come full circle as we find out about the myriad of components in plants that heal and sustain us as never thought possible before in modern society.  Our bodies, the foods we eat, the planet and the sun are truly intimately related.

On a spiritual level, our bodies are temples sustained in ways that surpass the physical elements we can see and touch.  Kirlian photography reveals the spiritual quality of food which is also present in our physical/etheric bodies.  Organic, fresh, raw, live and wild foods add an abundance of sun energy (as seen with Kirlian photography) to nourish and heal us in ways mostly unknown to modern society.  Food as a rich source of spiritual energy makes all things possible because it expands our conception of reality and possibility.

Whether you choose to stay within a religious paradigm or not, most of us are aware of our spiritual need.  The mainstream socio/political/economic construct leaves us feeling thirsty for something more satisfying.  We are becoming aware of all the people who are evolving around us and who seem to be able to find something satisfying within; yet many of us remain thirsty while we keep signing up for courses and buying books written by those who have found their spiritual fountain.  Is it that Spirit is partial?  Could some be more worthy than others?  I suggest not at all.

In order to become enlightened, and/or filled with Spirit, we must prepare ourselves for this gift.  Simply taking steps to nurture and care for our temple bodies will make room for, and clear the channels for a rewarding spiritual experience.  If you give an inch of effort, the universe will provide a mile in return.  Universal tender mercy is all around us but we have to be willing to let it in!

This usually means conquering our fears and stepping out into the unknown.  In my opinion the fastest way to become connected with the overflowing inner fountain of unconditional love, wisdom, support and the gift of co-creation is through food and the tender, loving care we express toward our temple bodies.

Be prepared to make some sacrifices and to step outside of your comfort zone.  If we are eating dead, lifeless foods; or worse yet, tortured animals and frankenfoods (Genetically Modified), we are mistreating ourselves, disrespecting the temple body and shutting down the avenues for a truly satisfying spiritual reality. A reality that enhances this 3D earthly experience in ways we never before dreamed possible.

So feast on foods that are satisfying, and serve as your ultimate medicine.  Experience for yourself this wonderful source of universal love energy.  Become well and prepare to be amazed!
