Many herbs have potent emotional qualities that can guide us toward new beginnings.  Cacao is one such food/herb.

It has strong uplifting and expansive qualities that act on the heart to create openings within us for something deeper.  It can aid us in transcending limiting belief structures that may have imprisoned our sense of choice.  With this effect, we can better embark on our path of least resistance and feel more flowing and wondrous.  By uncorking the mind/heart, we can get into that pre-physical space of power and freedom rather than one of dense, concrete fear.  Cacao can act as our pilot toward that inner destination.  Yet, we are ultimately the pilot through and through.  We must be willing to choose to create that opening with the aid of cacao in order for it to help us.  Then, we can facilitate it by doing our best to get out of the way and allow our minds to clear into peace and intuition.  With cacao acting as mental rocket fuel, this experience becomes actionable rather than just something "easier said than done".  Places that some feel only monks can go become attainable to the fairly untrained when we infuse the right herb into the situation.  Once in that place of non attachment, we can go deeper into meditation by focusing on it more strongly and openly.  As we do this more and more, we can begin to know and flow into this space as a way of life in mundane reality with or without the aid of herbal rituals.  We begin to realize that it is more of who we are than the stress-filled reality of mind attachment.  Many of us have a sense that this is true from reading some of the great books on spirituality but experience begins to pave the way for truth to be tattooed on our soul.  You begin to "dip into" this space of expansion without a prompt just because "you are" and "it is".  From this place, you may experience new chess moves in life's twist and turns even if things seemed bleak before.

There are many diet ideas out there.  Many of them can perform a specific role and serve a purpose for certain people at certain times.  However, my pull is toward high raw vegan.  This is because of its amazing transformative power.  A key within this ability to transform is its energetic qualities, including enzymes and bio-photons.  These appear to be very powerful catalysts for physical and spiritual improvement.  By increasing these components in our diets, it appears that things happen and we change toward something better.

However, some people try eating a high raw or all raw type of diet and do not feel well at all.  There seem to be easy to fix reasons for at least many of these cases.  This is based on my personal experience and the work of Gabriel Cousens MD, Dr. Robert Morse ND, and Doug Graham DC plus followers of Doug Graham's 80 10 10 diet.

Many people seem to do extraordinarily well, at least for a good period of time, on a fruit-based diet with a lot of raw vegetables and very little raw fatty foods.  Fruit is the supreme hydrator and cleanser plus provides easy to metabolize fuel (simple sugar in the form of fructose as well as its esoteric energetic qualities).  Greens provide important alkaline minerals to bring back more of a grounding balance.  A little nuts, seeds, and avocado adds a bit more satiation and essential nutrients but not in a way that it becomes a very heavy diet. The diet is light and energizing with strong cleansing and clearing attributes.

Still, some people seem to feel less than optimal at some point with this approach.  The interesting thing here is that for some, at least, easing up on the fat and protein restriction seems to remedy it.    Some just add a bit more fat and protein either from raw sources or from things like cooked legumes.  And then the satiation is higher and the energy and performance improves.

Some people do very well and feel balanced eating a very high raw green food diet with a focus on low sugar calorie sources like raw fats and protein.  In this way, green juices and salads/soups become the norm.  The greens seem to aid in energy well beyond their caloric load so though the carbohydrate content is low, it may be more energizing than a cooked carbohydrate diet.  While some feel amazing on this, others feel sluggish with the emphasis on fats/protein and very little sugar.  The raw effect doesn't seem to light them up and they feel like their energy is fading out.  Some even seem to have digestion and skin problems.  Others, though, find their remedy to these issues with this approach so it is individualized.

What you can take away, though, is that raw fruits and greens are the primary cleansers and moves of stagnant fluids.  Fruits, in particular, are very powerful for deep cleaning work and flushing the system.  If someone feels sluggish eating a diet high in low sugar, fatty foods, that person may do well eating a diet more focused on fruits with additional greens.  If someone, though, feels weak or not satiated eating a fruit-based diet and they already tried upping the greens, they may feel more balanced to add in a little more raw fat/protein or even some cooked legumes.  Or, they may want to try eating a lower sugar, green centered diet using fat and protein (raw nuts/seeds, avocados, raw oils like olive oil) as calorie sources beyond the carbohydrates from the greens.  Adding in a little sea salt and/or seaweed like dulse may also be useful for those who feel unbalanced on a sweet-centered approach.

With all of that said, it does seem that a fruit-based approach is more suitable for deeper cleansing of the lymphatic system and helping to restore optimal kidney filtration so that waste products are moved out more effectively and healing and take place at a higher rate.  Know your goals but also consider what you can do to feel more balanced if necessary while still improving your state of well-being.

While some people may not feel compelled to embark on a fruit-centered diet, it is very powerful to at least leave room at the beginning of the day to act as a fruitarian.  This is because fruit (watery, juicy fruits in particular) contain powerful cleansing attributes, which open up stagnant doorways and promote fluid movement.

One key, though, for those that have not yet adapted to eating a lot of fruit all at once is that unwanted blood sugar reactions can be due to adrenal gland weakness.  Therefore, while fruit does contain sugar in its simplest and easily absorbed form (opinion based on the work of Dr. Robert Morse and my own effects with fruit on an empty stomach compared with other carb sources), some people may feel "wobbly" or otherwise not at there best when having any sugar source beyond a certain point.

If this were me, I would take adrenal supporting herbs/herbal formulas to hope to remedy the situation by strengthening the gland most responsible for sugar metabolism.  Of course, the pancreas does deal with transporting sugar into cells but this is specifically glucose and fruit is more fructose-centered.  Dr. Robert Morse has found that fruit may actually require less insulin than even vegetables (small amounts of glucose).  This though, is not in any way a suggestion to stop taking insulin or any other doctor prescribed medication.  That could be disastrous.  Working with your doctor, if you are on medication, is key.

If you feel well with the fruit for breakfast approach, you may also want to try fruit for lunch.  This can greatly accelerate hydration and detoxification as well as lightness of being and overall energy.  This doesn't mean having a snack of fruit for a meal but having enough to feel satisfied and easily not hungry for other foods.  Working up slowly may be necessary.

Fruit is amazing for cleansing and rejuvenating the kidneys and colon.  These are two of the most important areas to heal in order to effectively release build up toxins which weigh down the body and spirit.  Fruit can get that process in motion.  By starting on fruit you continue the cleansing that went on during the 8 or so hours during sleep when various healing processes are underway.

Clearing the mind of self-imposed boundaries can do wonder for your productivity. Often, we become accostomed to the same perceived-possible-solutions to challenges. If those
don't work, we feel out of input and fear or apathy can set in. This does not have to be the case. Instead, if you allow your own energy to flow without force, you can TAP IN to new choices that may even be easier than the old "run of the mill" behaviors.

To do this, letting go of inner blocks is absolutely key. While you can definitely using health concepts to carry you forward and invoke more flow, letting go takes just moments to do. A coach is definitely useful for aiding in the process and mapping out where you might want to focus but you can do it by yourself. Check out The Chocolate Emotional Detox for a quick guide.

By letting go, you become more acquainted with the intangible essence of life and you may find BURSTS OF CREATIVITY carrying you through the completion of a goal. Effortlessness is on the other side of perceived difficulty. It's only a matter of locating the block and deleting it. Then a person's natural talents can truly shine through.

Rather than wasting valuable time distracting yourself from a challenge, you can work on your inner experience and reap the rewards of extra ability to problem solve.

Raw plant foods provide the body with vibrant electrical energy, which supports our entire being.  Additionally, they provides enzymes (catalysts) and various other components that may be lost in cooked foods.  Interestingly, one type of raw food more than others supports the brain and nervous system profoundly: Fruit.  This amazing category of food has the highest amount of electrical energy according to Dr. Robert Morse ND, who has had years of experience helping people with neurological and nervous system issues.  It is also the easiest and fastest to digest, saving more energy for healing and repair.

Fruit is also the most detoxifying food available.  It moves lymph fluid (sewer system of the body) out of stagnation, which allows for cleaning and healing at a deep level.  These 3 qualities mentioned (high amounts of electrical energy to bring greater healing potential and activation to the brain and nerves, ease and speed of digestion, and cleansing power) are why we promote the use of fruit as a predominant area of diet for those looking to improve their health.

Raw vegetables are amazing as well, especially when easily digested (juiced, blended, or chewed well) and provide electrical energy and alkalinity to the body, yet they are less activating and cleansing to the lymphatic system than fruits.  Therefore, for those who require a little more power, we will work you up to a high amount of fruit as we consult with you over time.

Take a look at our ABOUT page and Diet Options page (under the About Page) for more information about the diet style that we promote.

Inner freedom is inherent in you.  You are a free being in a spiritual sense, yet feelings and chemistry (neurotransmitters etc.) can seem to get in the way of experiencing it.

Luckily, there are leverage points for this.  Our neurotransmitters are heavily influenced by certain foods and drinks.

Two are Dark Chocolate and Black Coffee.  Two others, not quite as widely available but you can order them HERE, are AFA Blue Green Algae and the tonic herb He Shou Wu.

In different ways, these subtly effect which neurotransmitters are held in our bodies longer.  They can act as mild gatekeepers to stress.  Sometimes, for some people, the effect is intense but some may experience it on a less pronounced level.

When stress is down and awareness is up, you can more easily know who you are beyond the physical sense of self.  This is because who you are in a feeling sense is much more pleasure-oriented than the typical sensations of physical life.  These substances can help to bring you closer in a physical sense to this so that your spirit is easier to connect to.

By consciously consuming any of these and meditating on the sensations inside, you can notice a level of elation emerging and your heart becoming more activated.

Those who cannot have any stimulating items should go more toward blue green algae and he shou wu as these can be adrenal supportive.

Some may find occasional use of dark chocolate and coffee to be useful items for reconnecting to spirit as long as they produce more elation and calmness than excessive stimulation (depends on the person).

To be free of thought, just let go.  Drop the emotional anchors to thinking and wander in the contentment of the higher self.  Your energy rises up toward the higher energy centers as you do this.  You may feel your heart area and energy centers in your head become activated and alive with vibrating energy that pulls you inward and up, leaving the outside world to be the way it is without resistance.  As you release, the world has less of a pull on you and thinking becomes more of a choice rather than a habit.  The amazing part about this is that you do not have to know any complicated or drawn-out meditation practice.

You just consciously release the hold-backs to higher awareness.  These hold-backs are any belief or feeling that keeps you withdrawn and afraid.  As you notice them, you can let them go. 

The easy way to do this process is described in The Chocolate Emotional Detox available to download on Amazon (99 cents).  Join the facebook group as well for more tips and support.

Your energy will naturally rise from thinking into an awareness that is beyond thought.  Then you can concentrate on that to go deeper into it.

Another way is to activate the heart chakra through chocolate consumption and use that as a doorway into the moment.

This is the easiest way I know to experience deep meditation without having had years doing it.

It's so easy but very powerful if you are dedicated to doing it.

1.  Eat dark chocolate

2.  Feel a sense of upliftment within you.

3.  Notice your heart energy/sense of love expanding even slightly.

4. Concentrate on that heart energy and be open to it expanding more and more.

5.  Place your attention on your heart area completely and focus on the love within you.

6.  Allow that love to grow and expand outward.

7.  Realize this sense of love and upliftment is a sense of the true you becoming activated.

8.  Notice your energy centers in your head area becoming more active.

9.  Concentrate deeply on any sense of energy increase in your heart area or above (such as the energy centers in the head area).

10.  Be with that sense of aliveness more than any thinking. You are that aliveness.

As you do this, allow your sense of who you are to become something deeper than (and also beyond) your physical body.

Letting go is, to me, the most powerful health/self help technology we have access to.  However, it's something we often feel that we can't do.  It seems difficult.  This doesn't have to be case.

Letting go can be easy and fast if you can feel empowered enough to do it.

The easy way to let go of something difficult is to gain emotional leverage over it and then choose to allow the experience to replay in your mind so that you feel it emotionally.  When you can deal with the emotional energy behind the memory and let it run its course , even just for one moment, you can instantly release it and free yourself of it.

The fastest and most effective way to gain massive emotional leverage within seconds is to eat dark chocolate.  Dark chocolate can provide more focusing ability and a sense of upliftment that can be directed toward the painful memory.  It can tip the scales toward letting go just by eating it and then choosing to allow the feeling to be experienced.

You can get more detail about this process for only 99 cents by downloading The Chocolate Emotional Detox on Amazon.  Please give a review if you read it and try the process!

You can also join the Chocolate Emotional Detox facebook page for free tips and support.

Beyond that, you can order a phone coaching session with me.  Just click the services page.

The point of all of this, though, is that letting go is very powerful and you can let go as long as you  feel willing to deal with the feeling that the issue brings up.  Emotional leverage (feeling elevated over the emotional issue so that you're looking down rather than up at it) is the key to letting go of things that you feel are too difficult to overcome.  Dark chocolate is an easy emotional leverage fix.

If letting go seems difficult, there are powerful ways to accelerate the process.  This is a big interest of mine.  Letting go itself (by allowing etc.) is amazing, but what about when you encounter roadblocks to your progress? Some feelings are difficult to embrace and we may be stuck without even realizing that we are resisting them.  This is why I wrote The Chocolate Emotional Detox.  Through my practice of letting go techniques I've found certain strategies to move past emotional barriers more quickly.  Rather than stay stuck, you can rise above and move forward immediately.  And, this may involve a favorite drink or food of yours.  You can move toward enlightenment and enjoy the process at the same time.

By letting go of emotional issues, you automatically become freer inside and open up inherent meditation abilities.  It is the most empowering process I know of.

To help your journey to "move along" rather than stagnate, you can buy my e-book in Kindle format on Amazon.  It is just $2.99.

You do not require a kindle device to read the book.  Amazon has free kindle reader apps that allow books you've downloaded on Amazon to be read on most computers and devices.

Now, not everyone needs to use the foods and drinks mentioned in the book but I can say that they can be very helpful at times, at least for many people.  If they don't work for you, don't worry.  Letting go requires absolutely no particular substance but I've included the ones I feel can help many people to let up and let out deep issues that they might normally resist.

Whether you buy the book or not, you can begin letting go now.

The key is noticing the feelings that you feel about a particular issue and locate where you feel then in your body.

Then just notice the feeling as it is without resisting and relax into the feeling rather than push it away. Instead of trying to change the feeling in any way, embrace it fully.  Follow the feeling and watch it transform through acceptance.

If you have difficulty doing this, you may want to try having a little dark chocolate (of good quality).  This can open you up to the feeling even more, which, along with the intention to allow, can lead you to letting go.

This is explored much more in The Chocolate Emotional Detox.

I also offer coaching for emotional releasing if you would like to accelerate your progress even more.

1. Define and clarify empowering and passion driven projects that have come to your awareness.. Get started in some small but enthusiastic way.

2.  Eat a food which radically shifts your mindset toward creativity and action.  This can be dark chocolate or even coffee for certain people.  Goji berries might work for others.  Dark chocolate, coupled with the intention to be passionate and creative can be incredibly transforming.  Chaga extract or Cordyceps extract might also work wonderfully.  Three Brothers (a liquid extract) or Three Sisters are two other POTENT options to consider.

3.  Breathe deeply and let your mind sail off.. Leaving your awareness resting in the wind.  Be as one with your current experience.

4. Point your mind in a truly creative direction that simultaneously notices the stillness and beauty of this moment as well as insights generated from deep within for you to look into and weave together to form a powerful idea (project, solution, book idea, side business idea, song lyrics etc.)

5.  Hold into or carry an empowering crystal or gemstone.  These can really generate feelings of inspiration, higher awareness, and wellbeing.
