Teaching vs Preaching and how I learned
by spiritgecko
I want to address an important issue in the " do it my way industry ". I for one have been a rebel with a cause since my youth. My mother, a single parent with a plate loaded to the rim, taught me to think for myself and my personality drove the investigation factor. Yes that means I was a nosy little snoop, probably noticeable even at the age of three, when I stood at the bedroom door and demanded that the door stay open, while adults had, well, adult conversations. Personally, I prefer to be the one to make choices for myself, whatever the subject of the decision may be. In particular with regards to the subject of health and wellness for myself and my family.
WATER, Body and Health
by spiritgecko
Is your water poisoning your beautiful fluid rich, living body?
The beautiful, miraculous machine we call "my body" has made every attempt at communicating the woes it is overwhelmed with for decades and sometimes nearly a century.
Most of us rely on a modern health system with the experts telling us what to do when things go wrong and expecting the magic of pharmaceutical research to keep a dying body in a state of ...?what?...
Is a slow death and staged dying, "Life"? When something goes wrong with the vessel that gets us around we begin to look at it like an alien. Something that is failing us, is unkind and tortures our soul to no avail.
Headaches, muscle aches, heartburn, acid reflux, arthritis, infections, cold sores, pimples, eczema, dandruff and a myriad of much worse afflictions that everyone is painfully aware of over time.
Trouble with Waste Management
by spiritgecko
I transitioned into raw food living about a year or so ago and found myself having difficulties with eliminating waste. Constipation seemed like a strange companion when you think you are on this great diet. I only had one movement between 3-7 days, I was very toxic because of it. I chose to lightly steam fry (no oil) shredded cabbage with onion and lemon pepper at least 3- 4 times a week for my breakfast, in the very beginning of my raw adventure. This is not raw but it helped me eat enough of it to move things along a little quicker.
The smoothies however became my staple and still are today, because of the high fiber which you don't get from juicing. I make my smoothies with more water than normal and drink more of them during the day (maybe 1 1/2 to 2 litres a day). I also put a blue green algae into my smoothie, at very low doses each day to facilitate detoxification and the removal of unwanted metals from my body. the most important thing to remember is that fiber needs water. Fiber and lots of water result in smooth sailing for waste management.
Raw Reform
by spiritgecko
This is only a short post, before I post a few blogs on health. About 2 years ago we changed our lifestyle to be more or less PH Balanced. We started it for both weight and health issues. Much of the weight nearly 100 pounds have dropped off between us and most of our health issues have been aleviated or at least made much more bareable. These next few blogs will revisit the last 2 years and go forth from there. Art has and will always be my life love and I do have a great project this week that I will share with you in about a week. So without further ado. Please feel free to comment on my ramblings
May your karma be reflected and your love rewarded. Love and Light

Spirituality and Creativity
I wrote this blog a few days ago. I put it up on myspace blog right away for my sister to read. So I am going to simply copy and paste it to my new blog here. Once I figure out how to mirror my blog I will just use this one and send them out to my other blogs. So here are my thoughts on the subject of the need to connect spiritually to be creative on a personal level. Tell me what you think, I always love food for thought.
One very important human need is to be connected to others and our surroundings. Since we were connected to our mothers and are intricately connected to our environment, by food, air and water, we realize the value of that connectedness.
