*Sharing *Your* Guidance
*Mr. Monarch's Marvellous March Offers
*WIN a Free All-Access Upgrade of The *WISH* Summit, worth $197 :)
Our New Home in Vilcabamba, Ecuador :)
WOW...so, we're at our new home in Ecuador now - we got here a few nights ago and life is just moving and shifting in such sublime directions right now - we are absolute  ly *LOVING* it here - I have been weeding the patches around some of the fruit trees
we planted here last year and yesterday we bought six more new baby
trees: an avocado, two mangoes, three papaya trees...We are going to
start veggie beds and a green, living fence around the property in the next few days...I am also starting off growing two avocado seeds and I have literally dozens of other different types of seeds to start off on our land...
The produce at the farmers' market is fantastic - we have a fridge and kitchen full of greens, mangoes, papayas, pineapples, avos, tomatoes and all kinds of yummies, including FRESH Incan berries :O :) We are feeling amazingly blessed and excited - there's so much to *do* and enjoy and unfold each day - I recommend keeping up with our adventures over at TheRawFoodWorld.TV for 'almost-real-time' daily updates ;)
Here are some of the videos from our epic journey and first couple of days here:
I also posted a set of new pics to Flickr, from our first day here - see HERE...
Much more to come - soooooooo EXCITED :)))))) Winner of Steve Pavlina's Book
Thanks so much to all of you who sent in your juicy entries for last month's RawReform Giveaway Contest to win a copy of Steve Pavlina's fabulous book "Personal Development for Smart People". We asked you to send in your answers to the question: "What is t he 'smartest' piece of guidance you would give to a teenage version of yourself?" and you sent in some true gems
- see the next section below for a selection of the entries
submitted...for now, I'm delighted to announce that the winner of the
book, picked at random today, is: NADIA HARPER :) Nadia sent in the following message to her teenage self:
"The 'smartest' piece of advice I would give to my teenage self is to meditate. To just simply take some time every day to still the mind and the body to refresh, re-balance and open myself up to my own inner guidance
and guidance from my higher self. I am 39 now and have been meditating
for about 10 years and have found it to be a very natural and healthy
way to spend time each day. When we are very small we are natural
meditators but I lost that skill as I got older. I had a fairly happy
teenage life but if I would have known the benefits of meditating
during those years I feel I would have been much more happy, relaxed and with the ability to excel towards my potential with ease."
CONGRATS Nadia and thanks for sharing your insights with us all...read on below for more sage insights... ;)
Sharing *Your* Guidance...
Thank You, Merci, Gracias, for all the *amazing* entries you guys sent in for the "Smart Teenage Guidance" contest - we absolutely loved reading through your suggestions and here below is a selection of those entries for all to enjoy. Imagine the shifts we could feel in this reality by passing on these sparkling gems of guidance to our current teenage generations...
*You're ok, take your time, and remember no matter what you are lovable.
*Trust
your intuition and inner guidance without question and know that raw
food is power and your ticket to a zinging life full of clarity, joy,
absolute connection and bliss. It will take you where you need to go
and you may have no clue where that is in each moment but it sure will
be fun, uber exciting and life enhancing. Love yourself and the world
will love you. You are a magical medicine woman and no one can take
that away from you, it is your gift and you will come to share it with
joy and love.
*Buy a copy of The Secret and Learn all you can about the Law of Attraction... and...DON'T start smoking...!!
*Always
pursue excellence in everything you do! That means believing you can
do whatever you set your mind and heart to do… and do not compromise or
settle for less along the way!
*Don't
rely on anyone else for support or affirmation. first, work on your
own self and when you have acheived a high level of self-awareness,
then you will be ready to reach out. in other words, STAY SINGLE FOR A
WHILE!!!!!
*Slow down, slow down, you
were meant to be here now. You are fine the way you are. Breathe and
enjoy your breathing, enjoy your journey.
*I
would advise a teen-age version of myself to study and follow the raw
food lifestyle, & forget about all the confusing, conflicting and
misleading nutritional propaganda of the day. As an adult I reversed
cancer with raw foods & likely would have avoided it altogether had
I known about it sooner.
*You can do
and be everything you want. You can achieve what you really feel in
your heart. Dare to do things differently from the mainstream if this
is what you really feel for. If you really see it in your mind's eye,
putting in the necessary work to achieve it will even be enjoyable. But
action is needed, without that it's not going to happen. :-) You are
the master of your life!
*Be loving, patient and get to know/trust yourself...not everything that you 'rush' into is the real deal.
*I
would tell my teenage self what I tell my teenage son now; to not let
what other people say to you bring you down. No one has the right to
belittle someone else because of differences that they perceive as
threatening to themselves.
*Listen to
your heart. Don't let anyone tell you that it's time to grow up and be
serious. Life is too short to rush through. Do your best to be good to
yourself, good to your friends and good to the earth. Laugh every day
and love as much as you can....
*What
you feel is right for you is more right than what anyone else, even
your parents, doctors, or other "experts" tell you is right for you.
You are the only expert of you, and your feelings about situations and
people will always be your best compass in life. It's OK to listen to
your feelings, and it's OK to feel very different from what other
people say they're feeling. Many people choose to ignore their
feelings, but that's their choice, and you don't have to. When you
think you don't know what you feel or what's right for you, ask for
guidance from above, and you will receive it. It may be a little voice,
or a random comment by a stranger, but it will be exactly what you need
at that time. Oh, and most importantly, you are Loved.
*Have clear "I have to have it" (passionate) goals and take steps each day to reach them. They will come to be.
*Each moment is a lesson, learn your lesson.
*Ignore negativity in yourself, in others and trust your inner guidance.
*Move out as quickly as possible.
*To really trust yourself. . all the answers are on the inside, definitely not the outside...
*Take
refuge in the fact that things are ever-changing, shifting, developing.
Life can feel overwhelming and challenging as you become more aware,
but it gets easier -- and mo re
fun and satisfying! The only thing you can really count on is Change,
so know that whatever is happening now won't last forever and you will
learn and grow from it. Be grateful for your experience now and know
that it is teaching you what you need to know to move forward down your
path into your future...
*Don't have any surgeries!
*Love yourself and always remember that you can do whatever you want in life!!
*Plan
ahead better and don't rely on others so much for everything. Be more
independent and create clear goals for the future while you (I) still
have plenty of time to achieve them easily.
*Trust. You're always on the right path even if you think you've staryed completley off it.
*Love
yourself, like yourself, believe in yourself, starting now. Invest all
your energy in mastering yourself, and surround yourself with people
who value your essence. Your service in the world is the outpouring of
this expression of you. It doesn't work to pretzel yourself into
configurations you believe that others expect of you. Be yourself,
freely, and everything will fall into place.
*The
smartest piece of guidance I would give to a teenage version of myself
is that no matter how dismal things look now, you will one day be free
to choose your own choices and furthermore, when that time comes,
you'll be pretty darn good at it! So long as you listen to your gut
and remain open, everything's gonna be okay young one!
*Make Exercise a daily habit and never let others bring you down!
*I will actually go inside of myself and talk to my inner child/inner teenager and tell her  that
she is a goddess and that her body is a temple. I would tell her to
stop looking for love in all the wrong places and to move more slowly
through life. I would share with her the vibrancy that awaits her if
she would just go vegan (much earlier) and enjoy a healthy raw food
lifestyle. I would mostly let her know that she is loved.
*Don't believe everything you hear.
*Be
wise beyond your years and believe an older person when they say to you
that what you do today to your body, eating, reading, meds, not
exercising.. etc. will effect you in the years to come.
*Just
because everyone else is doing it, it doesnt mean that you have to too.
Instead do what you love even if it is different as most of the coolest
people who you remember are the ones who are true to themselves and do
what they think is right.
*It does not
matter what anyone else thinks and to NOT. TAKE. THINGS. PERSONALLY.
all success in the world stems from confidence. That's all you really
need. Confidence and a smile, of course. So, I would tell myself to
have confidence, not care what people think and to not take things
personally. I think I would be pretty set by then.
*Keep off the (processed) sweets.
*Keep your core strong so you can branch out in many and every direction and enjoy with the breezes...
*Always
be able to take care of yourself. Don't expect there will always be
someone there to take care of you. Never think that you are not worthy.
You deserve the very best.
*Look for
the light in everyone - relationships are more important than anything
else. Hold all people dear. Each one will teach you what you need to
know in the world.
WOW, thanks again for all the superb sharing, lovelies...we're sending *massive* waves of love, upliftment and support to the teenagers of today... ;)
