Raw Emotions Feedback

Since its launch in early March, yummy feedback has been gushing in for my latest book ?Raw Emotions?. It?s so lovely to hear abt the shifts y?all are enjoying...here are a few of the recent comments:

?Ciao Angela,
I have read your new e-book Raw Emotions, I have to say that it is the best raw food book I have ever read so far (and I have read many :), you have done such an amazing work and I could totally relate on everything you have gone through. Very, very good job! Thanks you so much for it!
Sara?

?I love your book! Really! Such a fabulous resource for anyone wanting to do any 'feeling' work. You've managed to put so much in the same manual, and introduced it in such an easy gentle manner! Thank you! Victoria.?


"You have just done a tremendous job synthesizing so much information, and I cannot tell you how grateful I am.
Your book has brought together all the elements I need to think about and study and ACT on as an Active Transformer. You're an excellent writer (I'm an English teacher - it matters to me!) and very, very kindhearted with us. Thank you so much for your time and effort with this book. It should be published for the widest possible audience. I truly think it's the best book I've ever read on recovering from food (and other) addictions. And I'm a voracious reader!
It moves me that a woman so much younger than me has healed herself so remarkably; your journey inspires me to make the most of the rest of mine.
Thank you, thank you, thank you,
Susan"

WOW, thanks for the feedback :) If YOU haven?t dipped into the flow of Raw Emotions yet and would love to, you can get more details and read an excerpt HERE ? enjoooooooooy :)
...and yes, for all of you who have been asking - we will get Raw Emotions made as a printed version too, as soon as possible (it's an e-book format at the moment). We're currently securing a yummy eco-friendly printer to work with (recommendations gratefully received ;)...we hope to have it available within the next few months in the printed version... ;)

Don?t forget to pick up a ?Raw Emotions? fridge magnet when you get your book too. At just $2, these magnets are surely the health investment bargain of the year ;) You can now get a daily reminder that ?The Answer is Not in the Fridge?. Get your magnet HERE.

New Products in the RawReform Store

We?ve been adding ALL kinds of wonderful new products to the RawReform Store lately, from Spirooli Slicers, Greek flax crackers and Colosan colon cleanser to the 9th book in the Anastasia Series, Barberries, new E3 Live flavours and all kinds of books and yum in-between. You can see ALL our new products HERE. http://store.rawreform.com//products_new.php? 


Here are MY top five favourite new items:

Onion Bread - Finally, the raw foodist's ultimate solution to bread cravings. This is definitely the best raw onion bread we've tried - soft, chewy, with a deliciously more-ish flavour, similar to fried onions. Great with any kind of topping/spread or served as a sandwich, with a tasty raw burger. Beat those bread/pasta cravings once and for all ;) Enjoy :)

Goji Powder ? WOW :) This goji powder is SO vibrant, easy to add into smoothies, sprinkle over grawnolas for an extra hit of nutrients or mix up with other powders to make bliss balls and raw cakes. Gojis are fabulous for supporting the thyroid, kidneys and the immune system. They are a GREAT source of vitamins A & C, B vits, protein and iron.

Bliss Conscious Communication by Happy Oasis - Fabulous guidance for free-flowing, fun conversations. I recommend this book in ?Raw Emotions?. It helps people to become more conscious about how they communicate and cease using a limited vocabulary. It can help you to understand exactly how your thoughts and the words you say have a real impact on the world. Yummy :)

Ulimana Chocolate Brownies and Spreads ? Ok, WATCH OUT for these products. They are off-the-scale gorgeous raw chocolate creations from those lovely Ulimana people in North Carolina who make the sensational truffles. Now they?re making brownies and spreads too and you can even buy tubs packed solid with the mixture they use to make the truffles (my favourite). These products are truly incredible edibles...enjoy :)

Yacon Powder ? This is my current favourite of all the different low-glycemic raw sweeteners out there. I tried this for the first time recently and LOVE it ? it?s sweet and tasty without being OVERsweet. Yacon is a root vegetable from S. America that is said to be NO glycemic (as the sugars cannot be absorbed by the body), as well as acting as a probiotic ? WOW, pretty impressive for a sweetener ;)

Raw Divas + RawReform on Cravings and Emotional Eating = Ultimate Solution ;)

Myself and those raw-markable Raw Divas, Amy and Tera, have teamed up to bring you the *ULTIMATE*, complete package for dissolving cravings and emotional eating patterns...

This ?Diva?s Guide? Pack contains more than 10 components, including:
*a complete copy of my latest E-book, ?Raw Emotions?
*an hour long interview between Tera and myself, exploring my emotional detox and raw journey, along with guidance for others
*a full transcript of the interview between myself and Tera
*?The Empowered Diva?s Food Journal? ? guidance to track YOUR eating habits
*an hour-long tele-seminar on using EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to eliminate cravings (I used EFT extensively myself at the start of my raw journey, as you can read abt in ?Raw Emotions?.)
*a full transcript of the EFT teleseminar
*a fully-illustrated guide to using EFT for yourself
*?A Diva?s Guide to Cravings and Emotional Eating? E-book from Tera and Amy, including explanations of WHY different foods are addictive
*?Busting Free? ? a companion workbook for taking action on emotional eating patterns
*interviews and reports on different cleanses (e.g. Master Cleanser, Mono-Mealing) that can help you release food habits

Written by three raw women who have been through the wibbles of emotional detox and come up smiling, this is a truly unique offering and surely the most loved-up and GENUINELY effective programme for handling cravings, bingeing and emotional eating ever seen... ;) (?and it doesn?t have to just be for women, by the way ;) There is a WEALTH of knowledge, experience, research and inspiration offered in this programme and we?re delighted to share it all with you. If you?re ready to jump in to some ext-RAW-dinary transformation work, we?re right here to show you the tools and tips that worked for US. You can access the whole programme and read more about it HERE.
ENJOY :)



TWO EXTRA BONUSES:
**The Raw Divas also have the next round of their HIGHLY successful and much-loved 30-Day ?Body Enlightenment System? (BES) programme starting very soon, on May 17th. The BES programme is a companion to the Cravings programme and if you enrol for the BES, you?ll qualify for a $30 discount on the Cravings course. The level of individual support on the BES programme is VERY high, so they can only take 60 people at a time and this round is near full already. This next intake is aimed at mothers and women who live with raw-sceptics ;) 

**If you enrol for the BES and mention ?RawReform?, you will also receive a FREE personal consultation with the lovely Tera (usually $135).

Here?s what one participant said abt the BES:

?The BES has been life-changing for me! Finding this Program has ended my 12- year health problems that medical professionals could not diagnose or treat.
There are no words that can adequately describe how much this Program has changed my life in ways I couldn't even dream of. And to think... I almost didn't spend the money!
Pam Dix?

New YouTube Videos

We were a bit YouTube-happy in April and I put up 3 NEW VIDEOS:

?Green Leaves? is a raw food interpretation of the English folk classic ?Green Sleeves?, with a leafy green twist ;)

?Raw 5 Years Going On 6 Years? is another raw food ?Sound of Music? interpretation, with a surprise guest joining our heroine, Maria von Chia...

?Raw Food Durian Adventures in Thailand? is a video of myself and the Monarch enjoying the Rasayana raw restaurant in Bangkok and fresh durian in the Thai markets.

NEW Ann Wigmore Raw Food Home Study Course

My GOODNESS, there?s quite a tempest of yum brewing over on ChiDiet.com ? have you seen? They are almost ready to re-release the ?Raw Food Home Study Course?, based on Ann Wigmore?s teachings. It?s officially going on sale on Thursday, May the 8th. This is the completely updated, comprehensive version of this home-study course that has already helped people all over the world GO and STAY successfully raw, with an emphasis on greeeeeeens, cleansing, growing, exercise and other ?Wiggie ways? ;)
We were fortunate to see a preview copy of the course and it is RAMMED with information. Wow. Containing a complete 300-page 13-step study manual, 10 DVDs, a huge recipe book, audio interviews with transcripts, books from Ann Wigmore herself, a ?free? consultation and much more, this course is a BOUNTY of wisdom from one of our Raw Food elders, condensed, organised and handed to you in a package for easy digestion ;)
As a special launch prize, ChiDiet are GIVING AWAY 2 free sets of the course, along with a free 1-hour consultation with the man behind the course ? Jim Carey. You can click HERE to find out more about that. Jim is also going to be doing a live call with Victoria Boutenko this Thursday, which anyone can join, where they?ll be discussing what a yumster Ann was, along with giving away ANOTHER free copy of the course ? WOW ? that?s 3 free copies you could win this week ;)
We often get emails from people asking WHERE they can go and study something about raw foods. Well, there aren?t yet a vast number of places to do that ? and this course can be an ideal solution ;) Just learn in your own home, at your own pace. Maybe even buy a set among friends and enjoy it together ? that tends to help with the motivation ;) You can find out much more about what will be in the course, as well as get a FREE Ann Wigmore e-book called ?Why Suffer?? and see a nice little video presentation by Jim called ?Dispelling the Raw Food Myths?, by clicking HERE.
