MISTRESS OF CHANGE Genius, Grace and Greatness
November Be The Change R'Evolution is in the air. We've heard it so much now… this phrase that was attributed to Mahatma Gandhi, it's become almost a cliché. But it does have power. The idea of being the change you want to see in the world does three powerful things when we live by it at its first level: 1. It stops us from judging others; 2. It replaces complaining about others and projection with a reflection on ourselves; 3. It stirs us into taking action within the only thing in the world over which we have any control: ourselves. And that is the part that should make changemakers sit up because the real work isn't trying to be perfectly virtuous or an unfailing example of benevolence to others. No, the real work is our own capacity for change. And therein lies the rub! What Gandhi actually said (and was paraphrased) was: "We but mirror the world. All the tendencies present in the outer world are to be found in the world of our body. If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. This is the divine mystery supreme. A wonderful thing it is and the source of our happiness. We need not wait to see what others do." – Mahatma Gandhi.
He revealed a profound spiritual truth that what we see in the world is no more and no less a reflection of what is unseen inside of ourselves. Now, I bet he didn't know how factual he was when he said that. But quantum physics proves that our world is a subjective one. We create and respond to our own interpretation of just about everything. In all innocence, Gandhi was pointing to the foundation upon which a lot of today's spiritual and Law of Attraction teachings draw their rationale. Of course, the 'As within, so without' wisdom has also been around for millennia and written about in many ancient spiritual scriptures.
But intuitively, we understand that Gandhi was inviting us to go much deeper. He was guiding us to do the inner work that we often shy away from, the inner change beyond simply wishing or visualising, which (again intuitively) we know we must do to see shifts and uplevels in our lives! Reading
the
original
quote,
one
could
understand how or why we might paraphrase what he said down to "be the change you want to see in the world", but doing so only gives us part of the story. The bottom line is… we're pretty rubbish at it as a human race. Even the ones who've invested time and money in the $40 ish billion industry at some point (who hasn't?!) There is every kind of coaching, self-help course, healing modality, retreat, or breakthrough program under the sparkling sun out there. And when you have a conversation with your peers, or on the best parts of Social Media, you find out that nearly everybody themselves!)

with
Whether we're working on our fitness, our miracle mornings, our subconscious beliefs, doesn't it seem like walking through mud in stilettos sometimes? Here's the thing. Transformation is slow. It takes months, years or even decades. It's time to truly listen to the old adage of "getting the same results by doing the same things" and do 'em differently! Whatever is not working! Whatever! Everything has to come under scrutiny. Habits, relationships, aspirations, strategies, even your dreams. As much as we yearn to change and understand the quantum dynamics, we still struggle to uplevel as fast as we'd like to. But let's take the darn spotlight off ourselves for a darn moment and acknowledge that there is a great deal of navel-watching involved in working on ourselves. We might remember Mahatama and turn the spotlight back on the world. Because otherwise, this is just a selfish trip about getting more stuff and having better experiences. But if we are genuinely changemakers, we use that mirror that the wise man talked about and use the estate of the world as our most precious, revered guru. The world itself, in your perspective, is the source of all the wisdom you need.
Think about it..we keep talking about the world being in chaos; everything is crazy. People have lost a sense of meaning. Families are fighting over vaccines. Countries are still fighting. We're fighting to keep up with our to-do lists. We're crazy with anxiety about climate warming. We're super stressed by technology - period. We're obsessed with Social Media. We're destabilised by crumbling world order. So what came first? The chicken or the egg? This isn't just stuff happening; it's us happening. We are creating outcomes through our own perceptions, consciousness, responses, energy and vibration. Ok, it's hard to ignore world crises. But we can change the way we respond to it. We can stop observing how crazy the world is (I'm hearing myself say this) and look at how crazy my head is. Well, our heads. We can change the way we respond because if we don't, we really are screwed. How on earth will we scale our businesses, movements and huge visions when we can't get a grip on our freaking minds and habits? (I'm talking to me too).
What we can agree on is that it's urgent. Your changes, desires, upgrades, transformation, healing, breakthroughs etc. are critical. So are mine - because so are the world's. No more clichés. The prophetic encouragement of Gandhi is so urgent; it's smoking. And that's going to take something in you and me as never before. There are answers. There are solutions. There are miracles. There is massive collective humanitarian collaboration. There is every bit of support we need under the sun around us. There is hope. There are blueprints, and directions, and signposts, and clues. Every reason, motivation, and piece of education we could ever need in 3 lifetimes to help us be the change we want to see in our own lives, so we can do the freaking work that our beloved planet needs. You're reading part of it. And the rest is up to you, but just as Einstein reminded us, we have to change what we do to change the outcome. We have to be a disruptor of our own status quo. An upriser, a maverick, a rebel, a warrior, a goddess, a R'Evolutionary. We need to create our own personal revolution to Re-boot Evolution. Join the R'Evolution, will you?

SURTHRIVAL A Call To Wildness And Urban Homesteading For The Sake Of Life Itself
One of the biggest blessings of the Covid
Pandemic is that it forced us to look at the quality of our home lives and personal values.
With our immune systems and wellbeing top of mind, millions have been called to consider the
importance of re-building our daily existence as self-sufficiently
as
possible.
We've
been
reminded that survival of ourselves, that which
we hold dear, our community, country and planet, relies on returning to a simpler, wilder life (in the sense of being more in tune with nature).
To swap the madness of over consumerism and technological coma for an embracing of all that our hearts have been longing for, for decades
and centuries. This lifestyle is no longer deemed
as ''alternative'' but vital if we are to survive as a race.
our lives is simply a matter of believing that we have
the necessary resources and intelligence to cope
with any circumstance the universe chooses to place in our path. I call it being a 'surthriver'.
Through taking action which enables us to accept
that we are strong enough to exist autonomously, we
will always be surthrivers. It allows us to overcome challenges celebrate

resourcefulness, as well as acknowledge our innate ability to capably steer the course of our life.
When I divorced my husband, I asked him to show
me how to change a tyre. I knew how to decorate, chop wood, make concrete and look after fencing
and pasture, but the thought of changing a tyre was daunting. Actually, I have never had to try it out..of
Simple survival requires us to be in possession of many skills. The pursuit of dreams requires
many more. We embody many roles throughout
our lifetimes, all of which are representative of our capacity for self-sufficiency and self-
determination. We are our own counsellor, janitor, caregiver, cook, healer, teacher, and
student in different phases of our lives. Our willingness to joyfully take on these roles grants
us the power to maintain control over the direction our life's journey takes.
the rare occasions I have had a flat tyre, I've always been rescued!
But being practically minded allows me to know that,
when it comes to simple homesteading, I can take
care of myself. I wouldn't like to try it out in the wilds, but nevertheless, gathering harvest of natural bounty
and preserving seasonal food keeps me close to the same reassurance.
My year revolves around maintaining 'homesteading' at the highest level. Surthrival doesn't mean you go
In times past, human beings learned all of the skills needed for survival. Today, the majority of
people specialise in a single skill, which they hone throughout their lives. Thus, many of us feel uncomfortable standing at the helm of our own
existence and realising just how resposible we need to be.
without or suffer from absence of comfort and bounty. Instead, it encourages you to rejoice in the abundance that is available to us all.
Let's take a look at how easy it is to return to a homesteading lifestyle.
Home cooking rather than depending on industrial
We are emerging from an era when we didn't question

concerning our own health, happiness, and
welfare. But it's also left us feeling dependent and powerless.
food titans, cultivating a tiny or large garden of fruits and vegetables, doing our own minor home repairs
or adopting a healthier lifestyle will help build your
tenacity to thirve AND achieve your life magnum opus or purpose.
In fact, this lifestyle will contribute to it happening faster! Surthrival skills develop our confidence, energy, personal power and ability to manifest!
Food is medicine. It is the foundation of survival. Do not underestimate the power
of making simple changes to your diet in favour of slower, more natural, healthier foods as a way of keeping you alive! For me, it's a lifelong passion food is the sacred offering to the temple of my body. I pray every day through the art of high-vibe nourishment.
Even if you don't have a garden, you can incorporate this level of self-care by
buying organic from farmers markets and sprouting seeds. A window sill can be home to a dozen life-enhancing herbs.
Nature abounds with plant medicine, and the internet is a fab resource to get hold of it if you don't live near nature. It's a decision to choose a way of life that is in harmony with Gaia and your Life Force.
In terms of resourcefulness, preserving has also become a passion of mine. In
addition to never eating industrial food, I've always made bread and yoghurt, but now I have added sauerkraut, fresh cheese, kombucha, kimchi, chutney, jam and condiments like seaweed tartare and even umami to my repertoire. Curing
fish is easy, salting a fine piece of wild trout, sousing herrings - even smoking on
a barbecue. Fermenting, preserving and salting are simple skills but they are life -preserving too!
“The psyches and souls of women also have their own cycles and seasons of doing and solitude, running and staying, being involved and being removed, questing and resting, creating and incubating, being of the world and returning to the soul-place.” Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Even if you can’t grow veg, a small air dryer is
inexpensive to preserve fruit and other surplus veg
when the season is at its most abundant. With the power of a motor research click, you can find any of these tools processes online, and I have to tell you
it's easy peasy! The hardest part is prioritising your
time to give yourself this high-vibe gift. Simple as that - a decision. Most people won't do it, which is
why the world is in the state it is. Please make that decision!
Essentially, I make anything and everything for my kitchen and home, depending on the season.
It's hard to describe the vitality and benefits of this level of self-care, but I'm convinced it is the reason I
have rarely been ill in my life. And I know I can always turn to the earth if I need to.
Curing illness with plants and natural remedies is as old as time. Swapping drugs for nature’s medicine is
an act of love for you and the planet. Between
certified experts and your own research, you can find the answers to every physical or emotional challenge in one click and the blink of an eye.
“Bone by bone, hair by hair, Wild Woman comes back. Through night dreams, through events, half understood and half remembered…”. Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Homemade household cleaners - don't even get me started on this! So few ingredients are required, such as bicarbonate of soda, citric
acid, white vinegar, Marseille soap, essential oils…to keep a very
healthy, high vibe home! Refuse plastic and buy rechargers or take the
leap and replace all terrible industrial cleaners. Your home, body and planet will thank you!
When time allows, I do my own body care products, too - often buying organic shower wash and shampoo, plus clothes washing liquid in recycled containers and personalising them with my favourite essential oils. Massage oils, mouth washes, even skin toners can be made with a few simple ingredients!
Seasons - this is such an essential part of personal re-wilding. In cities, it's not as easy to tune into the passing of seasons. Still, it is an
essential one for our balance and serenity. We are interconnected to the moon, tides, stars, and to all living things. Spending time remembering this way is life-giving. Our sleep rhythms, appetites, and emotional and hormonal depend on it. Our energy is woven into the colours of the spectrum, sunlight, sound, and the elements.
Life outside of that awareness is an empty life and a vulnerable one
too. There are innumerable and proven benefits to being close to trees, the sea or clean rivers. And you can always bring nature indoors with plants, fountains and flowers.
We are in an osmotic partnership with mother Gaia at all times! She
has our best interests at heart if we respect hers and our own wild nature!
Now, I may be teaching you to ''suck eggs'' if all of this is already your
lifestyle. However, there is always another skill to discover and hone in a holistic approach to a fulfilled and thriving life. I never stop learning!
This may sound like a very gentle form of wildness. It’s not exactly
‘Women Who Run With Wolves, but it is a supplication to give yourself
the most precious gift of life, that you can give. The point is to take the first steps towards harmonising our modern techie world and the
unfathomable, unknowable immensity of our true, wild earth. It is not for taming, and neither are we. We must live with a foot in both worlds,
but an unwavering reverence for the gift of life that the planet offers us, until we return to it. So remember how vital it is to keep knowing that your survival - your surthrival ‘ is not between you, rules, governments,
big pharma, institutions and world crises, it’s between you, the planet and you.
Remember what I said in the beginning?
"Our willingness to joyfully take on these roles grants us the power to maintain control over the direction our life's journey takes. " As we age, being able to fend for ourselves is a vital skill! We will lose
family. We will be alone at some point. Taking responsibility for our wellness and learning simple homesteading practices really are a matter of the quality of our life and death.
The crushing might of technological ‘progress and the ugly overconsumerism of the world we are beholding, has cut us all off from our
wild nature. Over the last few decades, our sense of connection and
responsibility to the planet has withered to something we have to remind ourselves of. As a race, we are indeed fighting for survival, along with the natural world we have destroyed. The insanity is that the world’s resources can support the population if we work in partnership with both.
The
‘Be
The
Change’
philosophy
applies critically here; only by taking individual
responsibility
for
our
survival and the planet’s survival can we collectively re-adjust the balance.
And yet, it is so easy to ‘homestead’ with a few simple principles - even if you live in a city far from nature. You
are never far from nature. Just go
outside and look at the sky, breathe the air - remember you are in an
intimate relationship with everything
around you and that which you can’t see as well.
You were born wild and have a choice to die wild or tamed.
Tamed by society’s programming
and the illusory control matrix we’ve been forced to accept as reality. Or
as wild as your feminine spirit - the essence
of
all
that
nurturing and beautiful.
is
creative,
As wild and powerful as the wind. It’s your choice.
Choose wildly and wisely today. Choose to surthrive.
"Go out in the woods, go out. If you don’t go out in the woods nothing will ever happen and your life will never begin."
Clarissa Pinkola Estes
Take a Sound Bath to discover your sacred self. Click on the image below
Francesca J. Littmann is a Voice Alchemist and Sound & Energy Healing Practitioner. Francesca has been working with voice since 1999 and has a background in classical singing.
She combines her in-depth experience of the voice with her gifts as an Energy Therapist to support others in experiencing deep healing and connection with Self.
During a synchronous meeting of voices at the Chateau de Puivert in SW France in 2020, Francesca came into awareness of the immense alchemical healing properties her voice offers to others.
Dedicated to a life in service to Mother Gaia and raising the frequency of this planet, Francesca has come to understand that part of her life mission is to reach as many people as possible with the powerful healing frequencies encoded within her voice.
In 2021 she downloaded the answer to this call, the manifestation of which is her online Kailani & Voice Sound Bath offering.

The Kailani is a Sacred Geometry instrument, handmade in Austria. Its beautiful, crystalline sound, in combination with the angelic tones of Francesca’s voice, creates a magical atmosphere that transports you into an other-worldly dimension, slowing down your thoughts to induce a state of deep relaxation, leaving you feeling calmer, clearer and more deeply connected with your innermost, sacred self.
THE POWER
OF
RITUAL by Jenni Parker Brown
Ready to outgrow the obsession with the mediocre stuff you read about Law of Attraction and become an Empowered Infinite Creator every day? Then fall in love with rituals - or as I called them 'Richuals'! Often mistaken for habits, rituals involve conscious and deliberate actions in preparation for an outcome. Sort of - rehearsing your manifestations as a way of being. Rituals are a way of playing in the Quantum Field of possibility, in order to influence the field with your intentions and power! First, let's get clear on the difference between rituals and habits. According to Charles Duhigg, author of the highly-reviewed 'The Power of Habit', once our brains are conditioned to incorporate a habit, we use little to no brainpower on that particular part of our day; it is as if we are sleeping during our daily actions. Habits and routines are hardwired into our minds at a young age. They serve to give structure to our growth and evolution; they become us, and we become them. Inseparable unless we bring great mindfulness and intention to them. Annoyingly sticky if they do not serve our greatest good. In fact, the billion-dollar industry of personal development has amassed a big chunk of money from our dependence on them.
Rituals are as old as time itself. For thousands of years, cultures around the world have created and preserved such rituals. Indigenous peoples have always understood the power of ritual in their interaction with the cosmos. The pace of our existence has dramatically picked up speed. As such, our energy and attention are more expended upon habit. With modern life, we have lost the natural understanding of our part in the interconnection of all things. We’ve become automatons! Many of us know precisely how long a routine made up of automated acts takes us to drive, make breakfast, seamlessly arrive at the office, an appointment, or wherever the wind blows in a timely manner.
According to Richard J. Reilly, author of ‘Eternal Egypt: Ancient Rituals for the Modern World’, priests and priestesses in modern Egypt adhered to a daily morning ritual consisting of 32 ceremonious acts. In this day and age, carving out a window of precious time to execute such seems daunting and frankly impossible.
Why are Rituals Important? "A ritual is the enactment of a myth. And, by participating in the ritual, you are participating in the myth. And since myth is a projection of the depth wisdom of the psyche, by participating in a ritual, participating in the myth, you are, as it were, put in accord with that wisdom, which is the wisdom inherent within you anyhow. Your consciousness is being reminded of the wisdom of your own life. I think ritual is terribly important." –Joseph Campbell Rituals are everywhere, standing as pillars to hold the events of our lives aloft. They make patterns, and, to create new patterns – new thoughts and new actions are needed. The thing is, with each further action and thought, you are breaking out of the old paradigm and creating a new one. You are essentially re-programming your subconscious mind by acknowledging your part in creation itself. The more you can associate mindful action with intention, in ways that uplift and centre you, the faster your automatic actions become sacred rites of passage. Rituals help build our daily sense and renewal of self; with others, they support connection within the community and keep tradition alive in a conscious way. Think of how many indigenous peoples' lives revolved (and still do) around ceremony. Instinctively we know that we are acting out our own myths. Myths create culture. We make our own culture. And if we bring consciousness and regularity to that creating, we truly step into creation mastery.
Rituals help us become more in tune with what is truly meaningful, that which is of so much importance in our lifes that it stands the test of time. They are a daily prayer to our core values and a dialogue with the universe about what we desire and intend to create. Because a ritual requires preparation and thoughtfulness, they help us shift from "to-do" mode to "into doing" whatever may be required for the completion of your chosen ritual experience. The Lasting Impact of Rituals: Take the full moon, for example. A quick glance in the night sky can leave us breathless for a moment, and if we are lucky, we might snap a somewhat blurry photo to publish on Instagram. Yet, when observed through a ritual experience, the energy of the full moon can be harnessed for your benefit to release what is no longer serving you, as well as help you become a magnet for that which will accelerate your evolution. This can make a lasting impression on the way your next day, week, month unfolds. We don't have to wait for the full moon. Our entire interactivity with our planet and environment offers us myriad ways to bring power and mindfulness to the most banal of daily actions. How to Create Your Own Rituals: Start Small. Identify areas in your life in which you want to encourage shift. These could be ongoing areas like growing revenue, or periodic events such as moving house or calling in a new relationship. Maybe you are hoping to create a consistent ritual around your bedtime. Becoming more aware of how and when you unwind can enhance the potency of your sleep without being overly complicated. Everyone can benefit from rituals in their self-care and professional lives. They are indispensable to high-performing athletes or ambitious entrepreneurs. Think of rituals not just as way of causing a desirable outcome, but of magnifying the quality of your moment to moment presence in your day. Rituals make the banal sacred. They connect our mind, body and soul in action. They oblige us to switch from 'default living' to flawless fabulous focus.
Plan it Out: Since rituals bring significance to daily, monthly, annual and occasional events, they can be easier to carve out time for than you may think. Setting a daily alarm or calendar reminder can be helpful, especially when first incorporating your rituals into your rhythm of life. If they mean enough to you, they will quickly become indispensable to your day. Missing one will feel like a 'less-than' experience. The more you incorporate pleasurable sensations into your rituals, the more your body will love them, and your mind will help you integrate them. You can nestle them into any block of the day. Morning rituals are the best example. They have been cited as being one of the most important ceremonies in creating affluence and optimum wellness. If you haven't already, think about how your perfect day would look, then work backwards. Really dive into this with your journal so that you have evidence on which to create. Try carving out some time each morning to laying the foundation for your day using your vision. Maybe it will be a twenty-minute walk outside in nature without your phone. Perhaps it's planning your menus for the week on a pretty board. It could be laying your clothes out the night before bed, so you can give full focus to choosing colours and accessories that will make you feel gorgeous and prosperous. Make your rituals easy to begin them: set up your cushion in your favourite meditation spot the night before for a morning meditation, or set your alarm for 2 -3pm when you typically experience a lull in your workday for some stretching.
A Cleansing Manifestation Ritual:
Create An Altar To Your Highest Self:
You can do this just once at the start of a new period of your life, or you can come back to it any time you need to shake off a bad experience or some unproductive thoughts.
Like a vision board, an altar is a way of making your dreams tangible and always in your attention. It'll be there to remind you of what you're working for and can immediately help you start the day on the right frequency. Most spiritually centred women are familiar with this tool, but I think it's key to change your altar with seasons and cycles since that's the way that life and the cosmos works!
Breathwork visualisation, dance, chanting and singing are all ways to lay the foundations for your rituals. So is bathing, dressing, meditation, bodywork, journalling and creative play. Music is a perfect partner for ritual. Create a playlist or choose a favourite song, or even better, use an instrument - drumming, crystal bowls, anything that helps you tune into a higher vibration.
You may be at a crossroads in your life; let your altar be the witness of the unfolding of the new chapter by the daily attention you give to it. Above all, make sure your altar is truly beautiful, inspiring and high vibe. Keep it out of reach of other people's energy or habits!
It could be a small table covered with an exquisite scarf, for example, or an area of a mantelpiece, where you can display items that make you feel closer to your dreams. Have your altar where you see it or pass it a maximum amount of times in a day. You can choose objects that feel magical, everything from inspirational photos to specific souvenirs, objects from the natural world, pieces of jewellery, flowers, and ornaments. Then, of course, candles, incense, bowls of water, coloured stones, aroma diffusers, crystals and statues make any altar feel like you are in the presence of the mystery of life. Incense and essential oils affect the energy of a place, as do natural elements such as little bowls of water, sprigs of herbs or aromatic plants.You can create mandelas with jewellery or natural objects and visit it to daily as you experience shift. The arrangement of these objects is you being the artist of your destiny. We are constantly creating in the quantum field. Rituals magnify our focus in the direction of what we want to experience. My idea of 'richuals' is creating the environment and practices of my intended affluent self. This is literally stepping into my highest reality through living my life in full anticipation of the outcomes I desire.
Be Patient: We know that it takes an average of 66 days to form behaviour shifts. It may take a bit of time to incorporate a new ritual, whether daily, weekly, or yearly. With some time, it will feel natural, necessary and effortless. Stay Flexible: Did you oversleep or snooze your alarm yesterday, when you had set the intention of waking up early to embrace your day with sunrise yoga? Perhaps you felt too busy to set a pretty table for dinner. Instead of becoming frustrated, give yourself credit for the awareness you possess around your ritual and the honoured space you hold for it. Celebrate this as a sign of your dedication to your newly instilled commitment. And tomorrow, renew your commitment. Choose Your Rituals According To Your Values: A ritual can be as simple as throwing open the windows of your bedroom as soon as you wake and taking 12 deep breaths of fresh air. Not only are you de-toxing your room and oxygenating your whole body, it is an invitation to connect with the air, the sky, the birds. It’s a declaration that you are alive and thankful for another day. Spend 1 minute on these 12 breaths with a short mantra of gratitude and you have yourself a magnificent ritual to begin the day.
Because I value wellness above everything, my rituals start with the above and continue with my morning tea ceremony next to my altar. A morning walk may be preceded by stretching, meditation or affirmations. My morning self-care is a real ceremony which is never hurried. Between cold water splashed on my face, a face massage with gorgeous oil, rejoicing in the colour of my prepared outfit, and annointing myself with a chosen essential oil of the moment to set the mood, every step is carefully carried out with presence. My work day begins with quite a few ceremonies, lighting a candle on my altar, ensuring I begin with just the right playlist of music conducive to the tasks at hand, a clear list of priorities, a bottle of solarised water and always fresh flowers on my desk. At meal time, I always set a beautiful table. This ritual elevates my nutrition to the highest energy and my body benefits. I’m really not bothered about the modern traditions of the festive season but I never miss an Equinox or a Solstice to tune into the natural cycles. I bless my house with fresh flower arrangements every Sunday. To bring beautiful nature inside and adorn my environment is a declaration of abundance. All of these rituals are carried out with serenity and delight in the richness of life’s bounty.
Rituals Allow The Celebration of Change: Since gratitude and love are the highest vibrations, in simple ways you can infuse your world with enchantment and magic. Ceremony invites connection and belonging - who doesn’t need more of that right now? Experiencing an event through the lens of habit or circumstance (looking up at the moon) versus that of ritual (gathering a small group of friends together to welcome a celestial shift) turns the mediocre into the divine. Rituals allow for us to savour the textures of our human experience as well as the unexplainable, and remind us that we have a choice with how, when, where and why we expend and dedicate our precious energy. Our life and reality shift as our vibration shifts. To hold a steady and desirable vibrational field, keep noticing what raises your vibration and do more of that. Keep track of what works and what doesn't work for you. Consistently doing what raises your vibration each day builds the muscles of a new and improved life, reality, and you. Wherever you are, vibration is also there; it's the undercurrent and the overtone of everything. Journey in vibrational awareness as if the quality of your life depends on it, because it does. This is the practice of masters. The shape of a life dedicated to your Genius, Grace and Greatness. It's like praying on steroids. So go make everything sacred. The force is with you!!
NOVEMBER POWER ELEMENTS The Life-giving Power of Copper and Wood
From myself I am copper, through you, friend, I am gold. From myself I’m a stone, but through you, I am a gem! Rumi
Copper, known as Cu in the science lab, is a metal that occurs naturally throughout our environment, in rocks, soil, water and air. It's an essential mineral for life in plants and animals (including humans), which means we need Copper to live. The attractive warm lustre of Copper is not as spectacular as some metals and minerals, but it holds ancient significance for mankind. Its first usage dates back 10,000 years! Considered a 'common' metal, it nonetheless earns its place in our self-care and best-life collection. Green in its original state, Copper, is associated with the sacral chakra, for which it is an excellent match. The sacral chakra corresponds to creativity. Malleable Copper is an ideal material to work with when it comes to expressing creative feelings. Not only does its orange/pink colour inspire, but it is also a soft metal that is easily worked into jewellery. The Ancient Romans obtained most of their Copper from the island of Cyprus, which they believed to be a sacred place. So, divine properties were also extended to Copper. In mythology and alchemy, Venus and Aphrodite were both represented in and are associated with the lustrous beauty of Copper. Cyprus was a sacred home to the goddess. The sacral chakra is also connected to social interactions, especially those of a sensual nature. As such, if you are experiencing issues relating to sexuality, you might want to consider wearing a piece of copper jewellery.
COPPER THE
BRIDGE
BETWEEN
WORLDS
Copper is known to stimulate energy flow and enhance psychic abilities. It can also help in channelling and in communicating with higher dimensions. Copper can also ground, and move a wide array of vibrational frequencies from the spiritual realm to the physical realm, like a bridge between the worlds. When used together with shards of petrified wood, it can amplify your thoughts and send healing energies all over the body. It can also encourage you to achieve physical and emotional alignment. The mineral makeup of this stone will also balance the energies of the warm sun and the cool moon. It's an excellent stone that can increase your ability to express your true emotions. Copper will make sure that your personal energy reserve is full - something we changemakers need vitally! COPPER, HEALING AND HEALTH: Copper has been used for healing and medicinal purposes for thousands of years. Ancient cultures used the metal as a healing mineral with properties beneficial to the internal and external bodies. Known as the third most abundant trace mineral that can be found in the human body, it's transported throughout the body with the help of proteins in the bloodstream. The liver and the human brain also contain the largest amount of Copper. People need approximately 3 milligrams of Copper each day in their diets. It has multiple healing benefits, such as in the treatment of skin diseases and wounds. It can be used to improve blood circulation, increase overall physical energy, and detoxify the body. It can also be used to ease joint stiffness and the discomforts of arthritis by opening the flow of blocked energies. Copper bracelets are popular accessories for those suffering from arthritis, stiff joints and slow circulation.
COPPER AND WEALTH: Copper is reputed to be the giver of goodness and positivity and the bringer of good luck. It can also contribute positive energies when acquiring properties and possessions. Used in space arrangement, the metal can attract money, prosperity, and abundance. It can draw wealth to your home or your business when you place it in strategic spots. For cooks and chefs the world over, Copper reigns as the preferred material for cookware. It has been used and cherished for around 9,000 years. Pots that are made of copper are ideal heat conductors; the material is durable, hygienic and corrosion-resistant, with excellent heat-conductivity. COPPER, LOVE AND RELATIONSHIPS: Since it is associated with the sacral chakra, Copper offers many ways to use its transformative powers in your intimate life. Copper is known as the "love metal" because it can help you open up to love energies and address any sexual imbalances.
Wearing Copper may stimulate any tendencies to lethargy in your relationship. It can aid in removing all dissatisfaction that you may be feeling, and it will help you accept yourself for who you truly are. Copper energies can facilitate better communication and connection with the person you love and invite more understanding, kindness, and forgiveness.

Meditation with Copper Copper is often used to stimulate the flow of energies from the universe to your spiritual being. This is a valuable metal for meditating to channel your spirituality and contact a higher dimension. With the energies of Copper, your guardian angels will seem closer when you need their support and guidance.
Copper holds the balancing forces of the warmth of the sun and the calmness of the cool moon, which translates into a similar kind of balance within you when you meditate with it.
There are many reasons why Copper is a valuable tool for optimum vitality. It's known as the lucky metal and a healing metal because of its many wonderful benefits.
Acting as a conductor between your spiritual and physical world, it can stimulate a powerful flow of energy and activate your inner vision. Whether striving to regain balance, improve your communication or kindle synchronicity, it can help balance your chakras and meridians.
WOOD THE
STAFF
OF
LIFE
Wood and trees are vital to our survival and evolution; there would be no life without them. So let's give some reverence to this generator of life and make tree hugging a habit! In the northern hemisphere, nearly every tree carries symbolism and lore attached to it since biblical times. symbolism is global; trees are symbols of physical and nourishment, transformation and liberation, sustenance, growth, union and fertility.
its own But the spiritual spiritual
The tree is a spiritual motif and framework, a map of conception and consciousness that brings together the temporal worlds of time, space and consciousness. Trees witness birth and death; they are used as sacred shrines and places of spiritual pilgrimage, ritual, ceremony and celebration. Sacred trees are found in the Shamanic, Hindu, Egyptian, Sumerian, Toltec, Mayan, Norse, Celtic and Christian traditions. The World-tree is described in The Upanishads as �a tree eternally existing, its roots aloft, its branches spreading below.� The Druid culture revolved around every aspect of trees. The Ogham Alphabet may have encoded a set of beliefs originating in the Middleeast in Stone Age times, describing the ceremonies surrounding the worship of the Moon-goddess in her various forms. In ancient Celtic tradition, the lunar calendar was represented by the Ogham alphabet and a tree for each month. Trees have played an essential role in many of the world's mythologies and religions and have been given deep and sacred meanings throughout the ages. It's not surprising. We both produce gasses that ensures the other's survival. Observing the growth and death of trees, the elasticity of their branches, the sensitivity and the annual decay and revival of their foliage, human beings see them as powerful symbols of growth, decay, and resurrection.
“I love myself enough to make the best choices for my body today.”
“My body is in an ever improving state. Right now, I will make its job easy.”
Symbol of antiquity, immense and enduring strength, a tree means protection from all, its roots reaching into the earth and its branches reaching to the stars. Goddess had a good day when she made trees! The word wood conjures both the mundane and magical. Wooden objects are omnipresent, from utensils, furniture to edifices, ships and cathedrals. From the first tools, to the industrial revolution, for fuel and transport, wood is our protector and partner in evolution. Yet how much we tak it for granted. In the realm of fiction, humble wood reminds us that there is something fantastic in the ordinary. Wizard wands are created from wood and help channel a sorcerer's magic. Harry Potter brought a lot of fame to wands of different wood! In the real world, wood is utilised for buildings and used for centuries to create centres of spiritual power such as churches, temples, mosques, and synagogues. Wood is one of the essential materials of civilisation. It is the quiet power that created progress for humanity. MAGICAL, MYSTERIOUS WOOD: According to Native American lore, trees are living beings with immense power and energy. These attributes are not lost when trees are cut and processed into objects. Their vibrational energy is carried over and influences the area and owner who utilises it. Every tree that was cut down has stood for years and has lessons to impart. Its spiritual lessons live on Ensure you have the maximum amount of wood in your home. Refuse synthetic furniture in favour of this noble material and whenever you are replacing things, think about trees before everything. We all know the critical losses of trees in parts of the world and the madness that is industrial farming. So bring a tree ethic to every decision you make. Just think about paper and the amount of waster and pollution linked to the publishing and fashion industries. Give up any product whose transformation involves the loss of the planet's vital ressources.
How To Use Wood To Optimise Your Wellbeing and Environment: Wood has probably taken part in every part of your life. So treat it as the holy staff of life that it is.
Wood is directly harnessed from the earth and carries the earth's vibrational energies. It has been known since time began for its spiritual and mythical properties. The spiritual power of wood is carried over in the objects they are made into. Harness the gifts of wood and level up your spiritual energy and strength.
In feng shui, Brown represents either wood, if it's dark and rich, or earth if it's light. Though it has an energetic, dependable, nurturing quality, brown should be well balanced with other colours to avoid a lack of ambition and drive. Dark brown can be very chic to wear - especially accented with denim blue, lilac and colours on the other side of the spectrum.
Treat yourself to some bamboo bowls - they are wonderful to eat from. Buy yourself a set of wooden cutlery for picnics or quick lunches. Collect pine cones, conquers and pretty branches for decoration. Drape them with some LED lights for a wonderful natural atmosphere. Download our gorgeous Tree Desktop Calendar in this mag! Dive deep into tree lore - it's fascinating! Find companies who preserve or plant trees. Avoid anything with palm oil, or any other tree-destroying industries at all cost. The Druids were right to base their whole culture around trees, so why not find one to hug today!

Copper rich foods Spirulina. ... Shiitake Mushrooms. ... Nuts and Seeds. ... Lobster. ... Leafy Greens. ... Dark Chocolate. Sweet Potatoes Chickpeas Oysters and lobster
Makeup: try out some copper shades of lipstick for autumn or a tiny touch of sparkly gold eyeshadow for parties. If you can find one, a copper lipstick is very beautiful on most skins tones. Wooden costume jewellery is a wonderful contrast when wearing sparkly festive season party gear! Essential oils = essential emotional health care. Rose, black pepper, sage, sandalwood, patchouli and jasmine and can be used to balance and activate the root chakra associated with passion, sexual energy and reconnection with Mother Earth. Lemon, citronella, cilantro, grapefruit, basil, fennel and sandalwood can be used for removing blocks from solar plexus chakra for clarity of mind.

All The Blessings In The World. The astonishing healing power of gratitude.
It's that time again, isn't it? You know - the T day is coming up. T for Turkey. And T for Thanksgiving. T for 'That Time Of The Year' when we're meant to be thankful for our lives. It's deep in our tradition and rituals. Still, I wonder how many families going through the T-motions are aware of the true power they may hold if they only knew what gratitude really meant. The quantum power it has for healing ourselves and the world. As we know it, expressing gratitude is the ability to display thankfulness and return it with kindness. Often we think of gratitude being the expression of appreciation for all the things in our lives that are wonderful. It doesn't occur to us that it's possible to be grateful for anything and everything in our lives. All of it - the good, the bad and the ugly. The shit-storms and the slips from grace. So conversations over the Turkey Table are very typical, and the expressions of thanks are often superficial. They range from "Yeah, I'm grateful for my health", "I'm grateful for the wonder", "I'm grateful for the joy", "I'm grateful for my children", all the way to …." I'm grateful for money." But going around the Thanksgiving table, few of us actually mention gratitude for our challenges. We are oblivious to the impact or lack gratitude for the things that have made us bigger people. We fall asleep to the hard lessons that we've experienced, which have since turned into blessings.
Lean into this with me, will you? I want you to be filled to the brim with blessings. And not just because Thanksgiving is coming up, but for always. Over time, I have learned to be with life exactly the way it is and exactly the way it isn't. That, for me, is true gratitude. I've learned to acknowledge the lessons, the blessings and the curses, for it is often in the darkness of a curse, the pain of a challenge or the chaos of the craziness that divinity shows up. I was always aware that thankfulness was essential to manifesting; still, it took me a long time to truly understand that anything and everything is part of the learning, a path to growth. In accepting all as it is, expansion then causes my body to be a bigger vessel, which then begets a bigger me. This, in turn, creates even more space for gratitude. To reach a life of excellence, I'm sure you know how powerful it is to make gratitude journaling a daily practice. For me, this habit is forged into sacred practise. Acknowledging gratitude before I go to bed every night allows me to grasp the value of the importance of both the difficulties as well as the Divine moments. Friday night Shabbat Blessings are my ode to this process. This is an essential moment in my calendar to witness the good, the bad and the ugly every week. This practice causes this moment to become a much more fulfilling experience.
Of course, sometimes it's about
simply rejoicing in the weather. But now, I can even rejoice at a bunch
of guilt that's being thrown at me. I may
be
challenged
because
someone is not doing exactly what
I want them to do. Or there may be
other complex situations such as illness or death. Often money and
the lack thereof, is a trigger. And then there are ways my mind incessantly
remembers
the
absence of something in my life,
the one thing my heart yearns for deeply. I've learned to embrace it all.
And I'm coming to understand that
living in gratitude for all of these things
can
be

practice, like breathing. Taking daily
action from this space is offering me the opportunity to expand time and grow.
The embodiment of gratitude takes in both sides of the yin and yang - the darkness and the light. If our days were always sunshine, roses and unicorns, there would not be any distinction, contrast and flavour in life! It is inside of the contrast, inside both the "Wow, this is painful" and "Ooo, that's really wonderful", that we have an opportunity to peel away the layers of our onion.
It takes the acknowledgement of gratitude to a whole new level acknowledgement for the simplest things that have the most profound meaning and impact on us.
"I'm so grateful to have a bed to sleep in" or "I'm just so grateful to be able to take a deep breath because I just healed from pneumonia (So many of us have been sick with Covid).

HOW CAN YOU IMPROVE IN YOUR VISIBILITY ZONE?
BUT NEVER MONOTONOUS
'Colour In Your Style and Branding' series
Whatever the occasion and whatever your style and personality, choosing to express it in monochrome is possibly one of the easiest ways to elevate your image. Classic, elegant, versatile, and effortless, nothing makes a statement quite like a monochrome outfit. An admirable aspect of this styling technique is its versatility. The monochromatic look works with literally every possible colour known to man. You really cannot go wrong with it. For some, the idea of dressing in one colour may sound daunting. Many avoid wearing a monochrome outfit simply out of the fear of looking dull and lifeless. Before we proceed further, let us first familiarise you with the concept of monochrome style. Many mistakingly think that monochrome is wearing black and white. Doh no! Mono means ‘one’ - single. One colour. And even if black and white aren’t strictly colours, there are two of them. Monochrome means taking one real colour and wearing it in various shades, tones, and vibes! The beauty of monochrome lies in wearing different hues of the same colour. It’s chic and sophistication par excellence!
The skill lies in layering, creating dimension using light and dark tints of a single colour. An admirable aspect of this technique is its versatility. It’s the no-brainer way to compose a classy outfit in the minimum amount of time. Like that idea? Here’s how to start! Pull out all the items you have in your closet in your favourite colours - separate them into piles of the same colour. Lay them out in front of you and start experimenting. Mix and match different pieces to see what looks good together and what doesn’t. This way, you can coordinate multiple outfits that can be your go-to on lazy days . CREATING A KILLER OUTFIT WITH A ONE COLOUR #1. Mix up textures Monochrome outfits must be designed in a way to spark visual interest. A one-dimensional colour palette does not sound very exciting. For this reason, it is essential to incorporate a mix of textures in your monochrome outfit to give your ensemble depth and dimension. To create the perfect monochrome outfit, you must first set a point of interest. Think of that piece as the star of the show. All the other components in your ensemble will play the supporting characters. Take a deep blue denim skirt as an example. You can style your skirt with a deep blue chiffon top and a blue leather jacket. Complete your look with a pair of blue ankle boots. Feminine yet edgy, this look will turn heads wherever you go.
If your style preference is more inclined towards casual comfort, pair your denim skirt with a bulky blue sweater or a chic blue turtleneck. Complete the look with blue sneakers and a blue baseball cap or bandana. Get bold with different tones of the same colour. Experiment with varying combinations of fabric. Try wool and silk, leather and suede, denim, and sequins; the sky is the limit. As long as it looks good, you are sorted. If you are playing with similar textures in your outfit, switch up things with your footwear. If
you are attending a casual gathering, suede, patent, and leather
shoes are excellent. If a party awaits you, bling things up with metallic or sequinned heels and a matching clutch bag. #2. Strive for balance This is a general rule you must follow for every outfit, not just monochrome ones. First of all, your outfit should accentuate and flatter your body type. To strike the perfect balance, you must learn to play with proportions. If you are opting for a loose-fitting top, pair it with form-fitting bottoms and vice versa. An oversized sweater or a puffy top does not pair well with loose, baggy bottoms. Similarly, if you opt to wear a body-hugging top, you can easily pair it with loose-fitting bottoms.
If your monochromatic dress is simple and understated, add some sparkle to it with monochrome sparkly or metallic heels. If your dress is as bold and beautiful as you, perhaps tone down the look with something minimal like pumps or strappy sandals. The whole idea behind balancing your look is to ensure that you look just right, not overdressed or underdressed, just right. #3. Highlight your natural charms No one on this planet is 100% content with their body. Some might think their butt is too big, whereas others might be self-conscious about their muffin top. In an attempt to make up for our flaws, we try to conceal them with our monochrome clothes. There is nothing wrong with that except you are beautiful, and you should remind yourself that every day. Monochrome
ensembles
are
about
creating
depth and dimension. By highlighting your stronger areas, you can feel more confident and sexy. The trick to highlighting is shading. Generally monochrome being less fussy, if you are clever with form, any body shape will look sensational in one colour. Here’s how to master this: if you have broad hips and wish for all the focus to be on your shoulders and collar bones, wear dark bottoms to give the appearance of a contoured look and pair them with a lighter coloured off-shoulder shirt, so it grabs everyone’s attention
If you’re carrying a bit too much around the middle, but have lean legs, wear longer nonfitting tops and highlight your leg shape. If you feel like your dress is a little loose and shabby, wear a lighter-toned fancy belt on your waist to give your ensemble a little bit of definition. Stick to these basic body flattery rules, mix up the shades of your favourite colour and you will be receiving many compliments! #4. Start with simple hues Selecting the right colours is critical. Your choice of colour should complement your skin and hair. If you are just stepping into the beautiful world of monochrome, we suggest you start with a simple colour palette.The best starter kit consists of neutral and darker tones. Brown gives off a warm and soft vibe. And there is grey! Wearing grey sounds boring, but when done right, there is nothing quite comparable to a grey monochrome outfit. Once you feel comfortable in dark neutrals, you can start spreading your wings and venturing into bolder choices.
Rich
tones
like
purple
burgundy,
mustard, and green are lovely for the winter season. For the winter and spring, nothing compares to the ethereal aura of pastels. And let yourself fall in love with timeless, elegant beige, camel and cream. These colours worn as monochrome, scream luxury.
#5. Be playful with patterns Who said that monochrome outfits have to be plain? While the beauty of a minimalist solid plain piece is striking, you cannot deny the power of prints and patterns. For the summer season, depending on your skin and hair colour palette, whether it is a striking bright yellow, a gorgeous green, a blinding pink, or a soothing blue, embrace all bright hues. MONOCHROME FOR BRANDING Now, who is not drawn into a beautiful monochrome Instagram feed? If you research ‘Most Beautiful Instagram Feeds', accounts that use the monochrome technique to create an atmosphere, get massive followings! It re-inforces a brand like nothing else! If you use no more than two colours, and you choose them wisely, your brand will be instantly recognisable! If you want to know more about that, issues 2 to 6 of House of Preeminence went into great depth about choosing the right colours for your brand. As a valued subscriber, you can access all editions forever! Watch your inbox to access that new benefit of being a subscriber! In edition 6, I shared resources on choosing the right colour palette for your skin, hair type and season. Colour is an art, a science and a vital tool
in
marketing!
As
is
messaging
and
branding. Colour has energetic frequency with deep symbolism linked to feelings and emotions. You can use these to elevate your branding, image and style by taking some time to learn these few groundlines. You can only gain!
Monochrome outfits are nothing short of masterpieces. They take the guesswork out of monochromatic dressing up, making them the most effortless outfits to style. Avoid the hassle of mixing and matching. Usually, only designers get it right! Play and experiment with different textures and shades to create your unique custom look without the fear of overdoing it. Looking effortlessly polished and chic has never been this easy. Think about your branding and your clothes and style. Do they harmonise? If you show up in the same colours and as you use in your brand palette and Social Media posts, it creates
an
aura
of
professionlism
and
coherence. And it also creates a vibe of sophistication and good taste. This is when your message, mission and presence get truly aligned! So now, what are you waiting for? It’s time for a new year makeover of your wardrobe and or branding, so that your image is aligned with your highest life and dreams.

Meet Alice Bracegirdle, founder of the Bellyfit® Movement. Jenni P and Alice explore what is wrong with the modern fitness industry and why Bellyfit® is revolutionising fitness for female bodies and souls!
"There’s a global revolution happening among women who are reclaiming their power and their pleasure. The ‘no pain, no gain’ model of exercise is slowly losing traction, and we couldn’t be happier! We’re beginning to understand and embrace that feeling good in our bodies, specifically when it comes to fitness, is essential to our overall wellbeing and creates a much more enjoyable, effective, sustainable movement experience. It’s time to embrace our bodies and treat them with respect, kindness, compassion and love. As a temple for the soul, our body is a beautiful, expressive, sacred vessel and the vehicle for our dreams… and we’re learning to treat it as such by seeking pleasure over pain in all areas of our life, including exercise!
When it comes to fitness for women, Bellyfit® is leading the feel good revolution! Time to get that Oxytocin flowing, ladies!"
Extract from the Bellyfit® website - and Alice Gracegirdle
The days of high impact aerobics and endless crunches are over. Science, experience and intuitive wisdom are now showing us that women will get the best results from movement that is low impact, moderate intensity and fluid ~ especially as we age into our 40s and beyond. We don’t need to punish our bodies to be fit and fabulous. We need to honour our body’s natural ancient wisdom and allow the energy of Shakti to rise and enliven every aspect of our being ~ physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.”
@BELLYFITLIFE "A reclamation. Our mission is to help rewrite the conversation we’re all having with our bodies…especially our bellies. We’re here to reclaim the word BELLY as a beautiful, powerful, sensual aspect of Woman ~ an aspect that should be loved, respected, strengthened and honoured for what it does, NOT for how it looks!
We’re here to help change perceptions of what a strong core actually looks and feels like and shift the focus from form to function & feeling. A ‘fit belly’ means much, much more than having a six pack. Being fit in the belly is about connecting to the power in our centre and respecting & loving this area of our body as the life giving, creative powerhouse of our being that it is…rolls, scars, dimples and all! It’s about loving ourselves unconditionally and honouring the many stages we go through as women throughout our lives. It’s about being connected to who we are…strong, sexy and sacred, with or without flat abs!" Alice Bracegirdle

Money, Woo And You It's all about the numbers.
Karen Baines
So, of course money is about numbers.
That's how we know how much we've got in the bank, our purse and how much things cost, so we can do our budgets.
But those money numbers on your account are just the consequence of our energetic numbers. And that's where the woo comes in. Although it's not really woo, it's principle!
The universe - through you- reflects how you are in, or out of, alignment with your money desires by matching the reality you see (all of it!) to the vibration you're transmitting.
At the end of the day, the money numbers you're looking at in your bank account are a reflection of the energetic numbers corresponding to the thoughts, emotions behind every action.
I'm going to share with you here a really simple system to make sure your energetic numbers match your desired numbers! Even if you're aspiring to 5 figure months, 6 or 7

The universe reads the frequency and says,

that energy in the form of circumstances and things.
It brings you more opportunities to say, "Hell yeah," to the same energy. So, it's in your
interest to become super aware of this and use it to raise your game!
But that can only happen in your favour when you're actually doing the actions that resonate with what you want to create consistently.
Now, a lot of the woo manifestation world revolves around positive thinking. Some people interpret this as forcing your brain to see love, light and unicorns. Or pretending to be happy doing things the way you've always done when it doesn't light your fire.
This is not the way. It's not about vision-boarding. It's not about visualization, journaling, or even too much static meditation to try and get into higher states. It's not about any of that. When you spend too much time in that place, lovelies, honestly what you're doing is, pardon me, 'mindset masturbation'.

Now, let's look at the three to five scores: again, they're not great. Anything that earned a score below five, it really is time to delegate it, let it go, automate it, systemize it, streamline it. Whatever you can do to move it out of your spectrum and spend less of your time doing it will move your energy up the scale. Ideally, you shouldn't be spending any time at all doing those zero to five tasks. You might not hate them but have got used to tolerating them or doing them from obligation. Again, toleration and obligation will be the response from Big U.

You see, you can't compartmentalize energy because it's a very fluid thing. Anywhere that you feel obligation and a 'have to' or heavy energy is not ideal. It's not going to broadcast a high vibe. It's not going to broadcast money. It depends on how misaligned you are in terms of overwhelm and chaos or results that don't match your hopes. How much are you in love with your business model? Do you believe in your mission? Does your business nourish your soul? Not just your vision but the day to day working of it… how are they working for you? Are you working too many hours? Do you feel uncomfortable in certain situations? Are you ever bored with something you're doing? Maybe you keep putting specific tasks off until they get urgent. All of this is contributing to you emitting a certain frequency.

I’ve been learning and teaching the language of money for some years now, having previously run my own successful bookkeeping business. Running quietly parallel to this was a life-long interest in personal development. A whole new level of money wisdom was introduced to me when I discovered Universal Law and energy, soon after that the defining moment when these two worlds suddenly collided. Previously, I had been attempting to compartmentalise them, the irony being that I now teach how you simply cannot compartmentalise energy.
A vital component of running a business is your finances – your income - money. Understanding your own alignment and the energetics of money gives you a priceless opportunity to unlock and reach that illusive next income level, as in a nutshell, Money is just a very happy by-product of Alignment, and the best definition of Alignment is YOU Do YOU!

Meet Deanna Hansen Changing Lives One Block At A Time. Exclusive interview with Jenni P "When it comes down to health, the fascia system is in control of pretty well everything... let me explain. What makes it so hard for people to gain control of their fascia system comes down to not having the correct tools to release the fascia and a lack of knowledge and understanding of how to use the tools correctly.
Fascia can hold the body out of alignment with a force of up to 2000lbs per square inch. Stretching, massage and rolling are only scraping the surface of what is actually going on underneath.
Block Therapy is designed to release the fascial adhesions, oxygenate your body and cells, and bring your body back into correct alignment."

Wet and Wild is only just part of it.
BY DAWN BATES
Staring out into the freezing cold night, bracing myself for the next 10-metre wave to crash over the bow, I couldn't help but giggle to myself. I knew I was going to get drenched by these ice-cold waves for at least another 4 hours, and I did not care one bit!
My giggles were drowned out by the roar of the 4.4*C winds. Any fears I had about anything in my life were blown away with the 28kph winds. This, to me, was the ultimate in any sailing I had done so far. Putting on my still damp wet weather gear over layers of clothing, after having been woken for the watch at 3:30am, getting ready to face the waves of the 'rolling fifties', just a week's sail away from Antarctica, wasn't a hardship. In fact, standing on the bow, harnessed to the ship to make sure I didn't go overboard into the ocean, which barely made 7*c, was a lot more fun than any other waves I have experienced around the world. Even the waves I surfed at 54kph on deck, at the helm in just a pair of shorts and bikini top in the Pacific, were not as fun as this. There was no chance of having a cup of coffee. There was no chance of going back to bed because it was too cold, and there was absolutely no chance I would miss this for this world. I stood there singing and dancing into the wind, even trying to squat and lunge the best I could, all whilst declaring my intention of writing more powerful books on the various subjects close to my heart: social justice, culture and human rights.
On the maelstrom of the wild and very wet ocean, I told the Universe I wanted to impact the lives of millions, so I put my order in for all my books to sell at least a million copies each. My fellow crew member stood on the starboard side and saluted me every time I turned to look at him. He was an elusive one. I knew he had navy experience in Denmark; he knew too much about sailing and was too military not to be. Flemming was his name, and he was a perfect gentleman the whole three months we were at sea together.
Drinking at sea is a perilously foolish pastime. Anything can go wrong in a split second. I have seen far too many mistakes on board boats due to people's reflexes being just one second slower because of being what is called 'a little bit merry'.

Many of us are owners of cheeky plaques which say "It's wine o'clock somewhere" or "Save water, drink wine", and our societies are so dependent on these liquids that we actually normalise our addiction to them. We make jokes about it. Those of us who don't drink are made to feel shame, guilt, and even ostracised by not drinking alcohol. When I look back at my life, the times I have drunk alcohol have been the worst for manifesting everything I truly want, and I have ended up in situations I would not wish on my worst enemy. Being a non-drinker in the sailing world isn't the easiest of character traits. I am the anti-sailor in many ways, and so many of the opportunities to sail with teams around the world have been denied to me simply because I will not drink 'just one'.
Being surrounded by people who say they eat healthily and do not have sugar but then polish off a bottle of bubbly over the weekend used to make me want to raise the hypocrisy in their narrative. Still, I have learnt to hold my tongue over the years because so many people are attached to the story of 'having made it through the week' or been brainwashed so much they 'need a drink to celebrate' it is just not worth the effort until it is. I will say something or remove myself from the environment. Now don't roll your eyes - this article isn't about how bad alcohol is for you, or an article about how you must give up drinking. However, it is about being totally free, on the ball and manifesting all you have ever desired whilst harnessing your inner power to live a life on your own terms. As a digital nomad, I know I would have been able to connect with so many more people around the world, been able to take part in many more activities if I had shared their company with alcohol. However, I chose to remain true to myself, choosing myself, my goals and my abilities over and above fitting in, every single time. That's true freedom right there. Ordering a meal without wine in almost every country I have lived in has raised more than a few eyebrows, especially in some of the 5-star restaurants I have been to. In many locations, wine is part of the total price of the 'Carte de jour' or the A la carte offering. Watching the waiting and bar staff look confused on what to do when there is no alcohol on order is amusing, to say the least, but it is increasingly worrying that the number of places that will still want to charge you for alcohol even if you do not have it. Needless to say, they lose my business before the bottle of water is even opened.

People who genuinely want to heal, those who wish to be informed, and seek true freedom won't be looking on Facebook or Instagram for the solution, just like an addict won't be going for her next hit of crack from the luxury apothecary on the other side of town. That night on the deck under the wild, wet sky, in my wild, wet state, I declared to the ocean my shopping list for life, verbally journalling my wants and desires, choosing my highest self every single time. I have choices to make, and they depend on how much I value myself and the work I do, how in alignment everything is and who I BE. My desire to positively heal 1 million families with my books requires me to do something radical, and I know how to do radical. I don't know how to exist in the mainstream. Truth be told, I don't really know how to exist in this world, but I do, and I have to make it work for me. Selling 1 million copies of each of my books to impact the lives of millions around the world excites me. Knowing that the individuals who read my books will be inspired to get help, take a different course of action, start choosing themselves above everyone else, and feel less alone in this world; knowing that someone else gets it gives me the warm fuzzies. Why? Because that changes the course of history and generational healing in individuals, families and communities for centuries to come.
To achieve all this, I have to think differently to the masses. I have to be focused on my end goal, not allow anything or anyone to get in my way, not even me. My books are the answer millions of people are looking for. My readers are those who want to be woken up, healed, inspired, motivated and who are prepared to read more than a funny meme or the latest Jack Reacher novel and "How to…" business book. My readers are a discerning group of people, ones who want to lead and be part of positive change. They are the ones who know there's a lot more to learn about the world we live in, and they are the ones who will stop at nothing to change the way they live their lives. They are the readers who want to be a voice for the voiceless, because often times they know what it's like to not have a voice. And whilst some may be found on 'Fakebook'and InstaFake, the majority won't be. Nor will the authors who choose to work with me to create positive change in the world. We are a new breed of entrepreneurs, a new breed of authors, and we came to earth to change the world; and change the world we will. Changing the world always starts with changing ourselves first. And embracing the wet and wild adventure of it.

BEING A DISRUPTOR. (A REAL ONE) Marcia Martin dis·rupt (dĭs-rŭpt′) tr.v. dis·rupt·ed, dis·rupt·ing, dis·rupts
1. To throw into confusion or disorder: Protesters disrupted the candidate's speech. 2. To interrupt or impede the progress of: Our efforts in the garden were disrupted by an early frost. The noise disrupted my nap. 3. To break apart or alter so as to prevent normal or expected functioning: radiation that disrupts DNA and kills bacteria.
The term 'disruptor' is pretty trendy these days. You hear it a lot in business circles, and in the transformation industry too. You see it on Social Media profiles, proudly proclaimed on websites and speaker bios. But just because it’s trendy doesn’t mean that every Tom, Dick and Harriet IS one or that they really know the implications behind it. I do. My whole life, it seems that I have been a disrupter. I’m not sure when it started; maybe when I was 6, I was kidnapped by my father and taken away from my mother along with my 4-yearold sister.
Marcia (right) and sister Karen We were in Los Angeles then – my birthplace – having moved there again from Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, when my mother left my father and tried to start a new life without him. My father had told my mother he would help her out with babysitting so she could go interview for a job. Dad figured out that if he pretended to be helpful, he could sweep us away, which he did. He turned up in Los Angeles, talked my mom into letting him babysit, then took me and my sister in our underwear and bare feet down to the Los Angeles Freeway. There, he hitchhiked with us, returning to Coeur d’Alene, and dropped us off at his brother’s house where we lived with Aunt Maxine and Uncle Richard for the next two years. We did not see Mom any of that time and barely saw Dad either. On that trip, I remember being cold and scared. We seemed to be in a lot of cars with a lot of strangers. Dad would go with each new friend into some tacky tavern at the end of the day’s ride and stay for hours getting drunk.Then he would come and get us out of the car, take us into the bar, and show us off. “Look at my beautiful little girls!” he would brag, and a bunch of scary strangers would want to give us a kiss while we stood on the bar in our underwear.
I remember thinking, “You can’t trust anyone, not even Mom and Dad”, and “You have to take care of yourself – no one else will do it. You have to watch out for your sister – she needs you – you are the only one who can help.” Maybe that was when it started – me disrupting the ways things were and trying to make them better for all.
I’m not sure when it all started, but I was off on a mission, disrupting the status quo, standing up for causes, and creating global movements.
Or maybe it was in school when I witnessed boys making fun of a girl in 7th grade who apparently just got her period and had blood on the back of her dress. She was humiliated and crying. I tore after those boys and made sure they knew they had to deal with me if they kept the taunting up.

In a jeep, we tore across the plains amidst lions, elephants, and giraffes. We sailed a 50-foot Ketch in 30-foot seas; that was when I learned that nothing could stop me, not even fear.

That experience opened prospects for other companies to build new business relationships and products with the emerging titan. Disrupters forge the future. They shake things up and create fresh possibilities and new tomorrows. Many people think that being disruptive is a bad thing. That it causes problems and disturbs the peace.
"Yes, it does disturb the peace. Sometimes we need that. We need to shake things up."
People get stuck in old ways of being and old ways of acting. Being willing to be a disrupter means you are willing to be a rebel, go out on a limb, be unpopular, and go against the norm. And many times, that is just what is needed to create a new

small, too big…… Is this the right container for the life phase I want to shift into? So when you do move house, your life will change. As the
environment around you becomes different so
your perspective and approach to life will also change.
Identify your key priorities. It’s good to set the criteria for the change in advance so you are crystal clear on what you want from life, and how your next home will support that. Once you have your list of must-haves and secondary desires on your wish list, it not only makes the search more manageable, you will likely manifest what you consider your ideal or dream home. Once I clearly determined my three top desires for a property, it appeared with 24 hours. Letting go is hard to do If clothes no longer fit, then they are easy to let go of; it’s the stuff loaded with memories and attachments that’s much harder to deal with. The issue is that we identify with so much of our stuff. Haven’t we all, to some degree, bought a memento of a place we have visited, even if it was something practical like a cushion with an eye-catching design spotted in an unusual boutique in a far off land. There seems to be a greater tendency to hold onto these treasures because they remind us of special moments, moments that often give our lives more meaning.
It might be a good idea to take the clearing process in three stages. 1 Firstly, it’s good to let go of whatever you can before the move, anything you know definitely that you no longer need or are interested in. Transporting it then junking at the new place is a massive waste of effort. I know because I am guilty of that! 2 The next opportunity for divesting is when you unpack. As you stand in your new space, which has a different energy, you will feel if the items want to stay or you can let go of them. It will either look right at home in the new space or it will tell you that it’s outdated and does not match the new vibe. 3 Lastly, it’s a good idea to acclimatise to your new space and during this period it is best to quarantine this third category of items. Everything that is not needed in the first couple of months and this includes all those boxes of books, family birthday cards, decades of personal history and family memorabilia …… whatever you have burdened yourself with over the years. Find a holding space like a garage or hire a store so you can deal with all these separately when you have settled into your new home and your new way of life. It’s at that time you will feel differently so when you look at those things again, you will know that you are ready to let go of the connection and can wave them goodbye or….. cherish as appropriate. It is easier to move boxes than people Two sets of strong arms can lift and transport a big box which can then be unpacked and sorted at the new location. Yes, it can take a while to decide where to put everything in the new place .. but how long does it take for the human system to adapt to new surroundings? Deeply ingrained habits and routines anchor us into a space; they make us feel part of the home and the home part of us. So when we re-locate, it can take time to feel comfortable and to find things. Where are the teaspoons in this house you exclaim each time you open the wrong drawer? What helps in the integration into the new home is having a blend of old and new. The familiar sideboard, television and paintings will help you feel like this is your place while having, for example, a new sofa and coffee table, which signal that this is also a fresh start. Not everything is quite the same. You want to feel both reassured and excited.
Settling in and feeling part of your new place Unpack and set up the most important rooms first.. bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, then lounge. Sleep, food, then space to organise! As soon as you can explore where you lie and start to create new habits or new places for your existing habits and routines.
This is the exciting phase .. or it should be. Try not to travel too far away from home or
spend time overnight out of your new bed. Like a seedling taking root in the new soil, stay in one place as long as possible. And talking about soil, plant shrubs, flowers, herbs or trees as soon as you can. Even without your own garden, you can help ground yourself with a few bulbs on a window ledge. They will grow as you grow in your new home as your new life takes shape. Good luck.
Outgrowing the container you live in. My story.
I recall a time in the 1990s after I had lived in my lovely London mews house a few years
when I started to feel limited and trapped. I had just come back from a vacation in San Francisco where I had sat on a Pacific beach looking out over the endless ocean and
experienced a feeling of being unlimited…… of having access to huge potential and opportunity.
When I came home and looked through the iron security bars of my downstairs window, to
the house opposite me only a few yards away, with only a slice of sky visible above the
roofline, I felt that unlimited possibility that I had experienced in California wither away. That’s when I resolved to move to a house with a huge Vista. I soon found myself living in
the hilltop cottage that became the healthy home. The beautiful panoramic views over the Yorkshire hills opened up my own inner landscape and I was able to shift my worldview. The
books I went on to write in that building became global best sellers and I just knew I would
not have been able to do the clear thinking needed in my tight urban environment with only a slice of sky available to me. The bigger the external space you can access the greater the inner space that can be unlocked within you.

independently for 32 years in the Yorkshire seaside town of Scarborough, a place they
have been since childhood. This was the day they made their way to my Yorkshire Dales
market town of Skipton. A new adventure for their tenth decade.
It was a move they strongly resisted, particularly my dad. One of his arguments
was that Scarborough is a popular place for people to retire to. As a retired person, it did not make sense to leave a retirement town. Hah! How old is dad? 90 in October … “but you retired 32 years ago”, I said! “You are beyond retirement
in a phase I don’t know the name of yet but let’s just call it the golden years with
being cared for.” He decided to frame the move as a fresh start, and that is not a bad way to look at it on your 90th birthday!
We took them away before the packing for the removal van to my brother’s … we
handled the whole move and unpacked at the other end. A big celebration of Dad’s 90th birthday took place in the Healthy Home Retreat during this gap; then,
seven days after they waved goodbye to all they owned, they moved into their new apartment. Here they are .. somewhat shell-shocked but settling in and always ready with a smile for the camera!

Gina Lazenby - Healthy Living Activist Gina has spent most of her life at the leading edge of new ideas. She started out in the world of hospitality and her ground-breaking work was recognised with a number of industry awards. Her marketing consulting firm helped her independent hotel clients to reach new audiences and markets.
Responding to her own life crisis took Gina into the emerging human potential movement and in the early 1990s, she again broke new ground by launching the London Personal Development Centre. For the last 40 years, she has developed expertise in how people can create change and manage the transition process.
Her passion for living well at home became the seed for her interest in Feng Shui and she was instrumental in creating the popularity of this eastern philosophy in the west. By 1995 she created the world’s first professional training program in Feng Shui going on to write three best-selling books, including ‘The Feng Shui House Book’ and ‘The Healthy Home’. International sales topped half a million copies and her work earned her a prestigious award from the Institute of Public Relations for her national PR campaign to put feng shui “on the map”.
Gender Equality and Feminine Leadership Gina has always understood the management and care of a home as a very feminine skill set and one that has been highly undervalued. Her work in the last twenty years has been in the exploration of the changing nature of gender roles and the value of home-making in our lives. Her feng shui knowledge enabled her to teach hundreds of students the value of aligning a home for both wellness and success. She has also produced and presented a radio series called ‘The Rise of the Feminine’ exploring the shift in values in the world and the unique contribution of women. Her next podcast series will be about how the 21st century home is being adapted.
She has spoken at conferences and led retreats and workshops around the world on feminine leadership, feng shui, healthy living, wellbeing, wisdom, and entrepreneurship for women. For over ten years she has hosted Women’s Gatherings for female entrepreneurs on four continents.
Gina has circled back to her hospitality roots and now offers her home that inspired her books as the Healthy Home Retreat, available for families to gather and leaders to host their own retreats. The 750-year-old original property near Skipton in the Yorkshire Dales has been restored and extended according to the principles she expounds. She often leads programmes there herself for women around the themes of wellness (personal nourishment) and wisdom (handling life transitions).
She also hosts community events and conversations about things that matter in this changing world with Conscious Cafe, both locally in Skipton and online on a global platform.
Supporting Women Entrepreneurs I Trained as a Wealth Dynamics Master Practitioner for Women in Business, brought together my experience of business consulting, empowering women and knowledge of ancient wisdom and flow.
My intention was to show women how they can expand their natural tendency for collaboration to grow businesses working with the right partners (according to Wealth Dynamic Profiles) so that they achieve more success and essentially - end up baking bigger pies.
The key is for women to value their home-making and family skills and leverage them in business and entrepreneurship…. teaching the 21st century business women.

A CALL TO ALL SILENT REBELS
Yvette Taylor
How many times have you heard that call to 'make a difference in the world'? If you're here, you probably know
it already; there is 'SOMETHING" you are here to do; you feel called to 'change the system', wave a magic wand over the world and 'fix' something on this planet.
We all play a more significant part in the change on this planet than you know.
For a second, let's take it back to the science of life. Have you ever seen those awesome pictures that pull you into
a neverending pattern as you look closer? This type of
picture is called a fractal. It's a repeating pattern that
never ends: whichever level you look at, it's the same. Almost everything in nature can be discussed as a
fractal. Science has shown that our natural world is built on these incredible fractal patterns.
Our universe is made up of millions of galaxies. Inside
each galaxy are millions of solar systems, which contain millions of planets and millions of moons, clouds, rocks, rivers, and possibly life. On our own earth, this fractal
pattern has been seen in rivers and tributaries, coastlines and mountain ranges, as well as the construct of clouds,
seashells and hurricanes. It's the same in our physical body. We
see
ourselves
as
one
human
being
working
independently. Yet we only need to use a microscope to see that we're, in fact, one organism made up of – some
crazy number – like 37 trillion cells. Each of those cells is
made up of a mind-blowing number of atoms and proteins, and electrons.
Whichever level you look at, micro or macro, we're creating this fractal-based community of living energy together. Health and sickness on one level are reflected
across all levels of the fractal community. That is what it means when we talk about all 'being interconnected'.
Let's take that understanding and expand it out from us as individuals. We live in households, communities, towns, cities and countries; we all populate this one giant organism, planet earth. Together, we're one community. What affects one part of our community has a consequence on it all.
When we all come back to it, everything is energy – remember, we all come from one
source connected by this one electromagnetic energy field. The health and wellbeing of the planet are, in fact, directly related and affected by the spiritual, mental,
emotional and physical health and wellbeing of us as individuals and vice versa. It is our collective energetic health vibration and evolution as a human race.
Become a silent rebel As you go about your daily activity, allow yourself to remain in your flow state, you
can use EAM to BE a vibrational 'shifter' on the planet simply by your presence. How?
By doing the work on yourself to raise your vibration, up-level what you are thinking, living, feeling and being in the new paradigm in every moment.
You know the world is filled with abundance; see the good in everything and everyone as amazing things happen. Even when bad experiences happen, you bounce back in
a way like never before. We want you to know YOU ARE CHANGING the planet simply by your presence. You are a light walker!
Now, the people on this planet are calling out for change; we know we want something – different, fairer, kinder, more loving – maybe we're yet to be clear what it
is. So, people fight, scream, protest and riot to get attention. There is another way for us to do this. Be a silent rebel.

‘I AM ready to release (this dark heaviness in
my heart, which prevents me from connecting
and listening to my true inner voice. I release the layers or input from external sources which
caused my inner voice to quiet. I let go of all situations which caused my heart to close or protect itself). I release it from my energy in all forms, on all levels, and at all points in time.’
Be it everywhere! You can take this as a simple, powerful, daily practice, send love out to the world, as much as you can. That is when we will all create the change so everyone can live a preeminent life!

REPOSITIONING THE LAW OF ATTRACTION FOR EVERYONE
with Kate Yurenda and Jenni P Click above
Kate Yurenda Founder of Dream Bold Network
I started Dream Bold Network to share conscious media that empowers humanity. It’s a platform that showcases my greatest passions, including graphic art, interviews, Qi Gong, my books, conscious products, spoken word and inspiring writing. Dream Bold Network consists of thought-leaders, artists, filmmakers, authors, mindset coaches, healing practitioners and bold visionaries. We are all dedicated to the art and science of intentional magnetism, ancient healing modalities, quantum creation and unity consciousness. I became interested in this because of my own personal healing journey and the more I learned about ancient healing, the more I knew the world needed someone to translate it. I'm so grateful that I answered this bold and innovative calling to restyle the Law of Attraction.
"My calling is to build a bridge back to divine source energy so that we can reconnect with infinite intelligence and consciously create a better world for our children—because divine feminine energy is going to heal and inspire the world!"
Kate's Intention Visionary, Artist, Healer & Rebel
My mission is to reconnect us to our innate abilities and to creatively tap us back into superhuman consciousness so that we can make a quantum shift in the direction of world peace. My plan is to teach this wisdom in a playful, sensual, artistic and entertaining way. I am conducting a global energy experiment and truly believe that we just need enough of us to vibrate high enough to nullify the lower frequencies that are holding humanity back. My vision is to teach the world how to heal and create on a quantum level so that we can manifest freedom, equality, harmony and spiritual evolution.
"Through Qi Gong people activate more energy, improve their health, harmonize and tap into infinite intelligence. I love charging people up with passion, guidance, clarity and gratitude so that they can navigate life with more ease and excitement—because that's true freedom!"
Manifesting What is it?
The intention of Dream Bold Network is to teach the Law of Attraction in the most dynamic way possible. We are all co-creators of our reality and our collective future—so it's time for us to reclaim our power. When we vibrationally align with what we desire, we increase our abilities to manifest anything we choose to visualize—so let's imagine and expect world peace and quantum evolution.
Your mind and heart are magnetic energy fields that determine what you attract in the quantum field. Manifesting is a lifestyle and a spiritual practice so commit to mastering your innate superpowers. An attitude of gratitude determines what you create—so be bold and boundless as you manifest the life of your dreams!

"Dream Bold Network is more of a movement than anything and we see how quickly it’s working—now we just want to crank up the momentum and watch as this global energy experiment unites our world!"
Magnetism What is it? We are all magnetic beings living in a magnetic world—playing a game of magnetism. When we master our innate abilities, we light up the world, This is how we inspire each other, reconnect with the magic of life and create a restored faith in miracles—so that we can magnetize peace.
The art & science of energy modulation to magnetize your desires
Life force energy activation & cultivation
"Your life is determined by the electricity of your thoughts and the magnetism of your emotions—so unleash your beautiful and bold self. The world needs all of us to restore, recharge and recalibrate our innate light of creation!"

Fabulous On a plate
™
My idea of heaven is sitting in front of a plate that is as beautiful as it is healthy. It must be a work of art and promise to nourish all the senses along with my body. In fact I can sit and stare at beautiful food without wanting to eat it. Does that ever happen to you when you go to a fine restaurant? I fell in love with food fabulosity when I published my first book ‘Real Food- a feast for life’ in 1988. Taking photos of my recipes outside in nature filled with me with a delight that has never left me. Nature, food, beauty, nourishment of mind, body, soul and the planet… what’s not to adore? Over the years, especially in my restaurants and dining with friends, I became addicted to exquisite food presentation. It’s an art, but it’s also a science as I do believe that mindful self-nourishment is a vital beauty and well-being tool. Many eminent food writers and healthy food experts echo this truth. And ancient texts on health and diet, such as Ayaveda, and also the first cuisine writers of the European middle ages, document the links between food and life balance.
Plant-based....
...Comfort Foods.
When I discovered a long time ago that my body loved and prefered healthy foods, I decided that I wouldn't deprive it of the glories of comfort food. Those dishes you want to eat over and over again, and even need to resist. The brain gives off powerful signals of pleasure when we consume starches, fats and sugar. It shoots 'yum!' hormones into our bloodstream and organs, which brings smiles to our faces until we discover there is always a price. Yes, those generously rewarding hormones of pleasure are to blame for our addictions to foods that do not necessarily do us any good! Even if weight is not an issue for you, this food group is usually not nutrient-dense. It has little nutritional value apart from calories. Calories that are generally hard to burn off! So I'm here to announce the happy news that you can have your cake and eat it too - right after your fries, pizza, carbonara and paté! - plant-based comfort foods! It is possible to re-create any 'comfort food' with nutrient-rich plant-based ingredients which take the highest care of your body and will put a smile on your face too! I have dozens of recipes for 100% plant-based everything including lasagne, cheese, mash, risotto, mayo, cake, desserts, and so much more. There is no food you can't recreate with plants and they are freaking delicious! I mention yoghurt in these recipes because I make my own sheep's milk and coconut yoghurt. Cow dairy for me is 'no-no' but you can use whatever you're used to and can obtain.

So if you're new to the idea of plant-based comfort foods or want to try a few easy ways and recipes to get you started, read on. I recommend you find some vegan bloggers - they usually have great recipes. I'm here to encourage you towards your highest-self performance in every way, so I don't have enough life (yet) to give you my 40 years of recipes as well in this magazine. I want to give you the essentials and encourage you to experiment with joie de vivre! So let's dive in happily! Firstly, F F F Fries. Not a typo but one of the most eaten foods on the planet. To our detriment! These are not greasy fattening ones that do you no good at all and send you to sleep! I owe this fresh idea to the awesome Hemsley sisters who, in their book Hemsley and Hemsley (highly recommended!) offer the enlightened concept of fish and chips with courgettes as the chips. Now, I thought that was a bit strange until I tried them. Converted. Forever. Here's how it goes; cut the ends off washed and dried smallish courgettes and cut into long chunky chip shapes, slightly bigger than regular fries. Don't peel. Beat an egg and season with salt and pepper.You'll need some ground, powdered parmesan and some ground almonds mixed together - about two-thirds almonds to parmesan. Heat an oven to hot - about 220C or gas 9. Heat a large flat baking pan in the oven until very hot - then take it out and set on a safe surface. Pour a little oil on the tray. Now dip the chips quickly in the beaten egg and roll them in the crumb mix until well coated. Pop them all on the oiled tray, and return to the oven for about 20 minutes until golden brown. You may need to check them and turn them over, so they get evenly browned, or switch the tray around. Serve piping hot in any way you love fries, with healthy probiotic ketchup or an avocado dip - zero guilt!
MUSHROOM AND BEETROOT CARBONARA The first time I made this, I was aiming to replace spaghetti with fine vegetable spirals. But actually, I found the combination of pasta and spaghetti spirals was even yummier - the perfect foil for a guiltfree creamy sauce. Spirals are made with a little gadget that turns root veg into long strands that are delightful in their versatility and super nourishing raw or cooked. If you don't have one you could grate them - it wouldn't be quite the same, but hey, I'm all for adapting to make healthier habits stick! I use beetroot and/or carrots but also kohl-rabi and even parsnips. Any root can be spiralised (so can squash!) - they are such fun! So keep your gluten down, choose healthy spaghetti-like quinoa or spelt, or simply an organic wholemeal tagliatelle. Cook-off to al dente, I like mine cooked in stock - veg or chicken, so they already have flavour. Set aside coated with a little oil, so they don't stick. Now I go for equal parts veg spaghetti spirals, equal part pasta, so you're already reducing your carbs in doing so. Steam the spirals for a couple of minutes so they are only just tender. For the carbonara, this is a non bacon and egg one, but you can be inventive! My favourite and the one which is most carbonara-like is mushrooms, sliced and oil-sautéed with shallots or leeks. I then add a little maize flour or arrowroot to make a roux. Then I add pre-warmed dairyfree milk to loosen it and then lots of dairy-free cream! It will thicken up quickly so season and throw in some herbs, garlic and anything else that feels like it needs to be in your carbonara. I add lots of activated yeast so the sauce is really cheezy without cheese (that's for another day!) Combine the pasta and plant spaghetti, maybe with a dash more of your fav oil. Serve on a warm bowl with the sauce blanketing the spaghetti and voilà! You just got a meal you can vary infinitely. Reducing the pasta with veg and a plant-based sauce, will have you smiling, guaranteed.
You can use the almond crumb as a coating for just about anything! Even without the parmesan, it will coat any veg slices and whole mushrooms. It makes an ideal crispy crumb for your fish and poultry fillets if you're into low-carb everything as I am. MAYO Eggless, oil-less mayo. Yes it is possible! I love this not to avoid eggs or oil but because it's such a lighter and healthier version that you can lavish on just about anything! You'll need some raw unsalted cashews, some natural thick yoghurt (even better, if it can be non-dairy) some Dijon mustard, salt and pepper, lemon juice, activated yeast flakes and apple cider vinegar. Soak the cashews in filtered water overnight. Drain and rinse. They should be tender. In a blender, blend the cashews with half a teaspoon of mustard, a teaspoon of lemon juice and one of ACV. Add about 3 tablespoons of non-dairy milk. Blitz the whole lot until smooth. Add a tablespoon of nutritional yeast flakes, some salt and pepper and blitz again. Check for seasoning. Now add your yoghurt and blitz once more. Now the creamy, tangy yoghurt blends with the cheezy nut mix and the two flavours make a gorgeous mellow mayo! You can, at this point, add some oil to get an even velvetier texture and more mayo-y unctuosity. Abuse at your pleasure. CHEEZY SAUCE Once you get the taste for cashew, you will not be able to resist as a cheezy sauce minus the yoghurt, for just about anything. For a basic cheezy sauce, keep the above ingredients, add a little more milk, some powdered turmeric, a little olive or grapeseed oil. For a real savoury kick, I replace the salt with tamari or umami paste. The world then, is your plant based cheez sauce oyster.
Finally, PIZZA! The world's best loved comfort food! My cauliflower-based pizza is to die for. Well, to swoon for anyway, so I'm including a recipe I already gave you here a few months ago with another two variations. Once you get the hang of cauliflower pizza, you'll find it hard to go back to ropey bought bread crusts. Not that I don't love the occasional Italian gem, but I avoid gluten so this one is kind to my tummy and waistline. It doesn't discriminate - it'll be kind to yours as well. So in the first photo is the variation from the classical topping I give in the recipe. That one got firstly spread with a mix of yoghurt and soy cream, well seasoned, then topped with sautéed leeks, goats cheese and then I had the ingenious idea of crumbling cooked chestnuts over the top. OMG. They crisped up like pros, and the result was spectacular. The next version is dairy free, thinly sliced courgettes, herb roasted squash, the aforementioned cashew cheez sauce, walnuts and a good slug of olive oil. As I said, once you get the hang of the base, you can experiment with whatever takes your fancy!
Voilà! You can use your cauli pizza, mayo and carbonara in infinite ways and you will be nourished mind, body and soul, guaranteed. Bon appetit.
