Monsanto has infiltrated the UK’s supermarkets and shoppers aren’t taking it lying down!

<<<< Please join our Facebook group here so we can update you daily.

On Monday morning, I was out shopping in my local Waitrose. I spotted a product that I already knew to be from Monsanto and, for a change I had a mobile phone signal, so I snapped it and posted it to Facebook. I carried on shopping, thinking a few people would comment and that’d be that. But that wasn’t that. This “Monsanto is in UK supermarkets” post went viral within hours, and now thousands of customers, soon to be millions of customers are organising boycotts, protests, occupies and complaints to all the major UK supermarkets. Or stupormarkets, which is my term for them. Here’s today’s Facebook snap of the post:

Monsanto products are stocked in all the UK's supermarkets

As you can see, it’s had over 324 comments (there were some that I removed) and almost 500 shares. When a post gets this many shares, it’s viral because every Facebook user who is friends of those who have shared it see it. It’s also been posted in many many other places.

Please join our Facebook group here so we can update you daily.

How you can tell this is a Monsanto product

See the word Bellaverde, and the (R) after it? That’s the giveaway that something’s going on. Google Bellaverde and you’ll get this. Monsanto’s seed division is called Seminis, which is a company they bought in 2005.

Bellaverde (R) is not GMO, so what’s wrong with it being in the supermarkets?

I don’t want to confuse of mislead you, so please first be aware that if you’ve eaten this food in the past, Bellaverde (R) is NOT GMO. That isn’t the issue. The issue is that the British public do not want Monsanto products in their lives, in their tummies or in their shops. Most people look to Waitrose as being the most ethical of all supermarkets, and so this is why there are particularly strong feelings towards them right now. That, and I just happened to snap the picture in Waitrose, not any of the other supermarkets.

Over one BILLION hectares of land are now planted with GMO crops, worldwide Monsanto chemical creates super weeds and causes infertility, birth defects and cancer

Other Monsanto products in UK supermarkets

Monsanto is treading very carefully with its introduction of vegetables to the UK market. In the USA, there are many more, such as peppers, onions and tomatoes. Here, we only have Bellaverde, Beneforté and Dulce Verde. They like the word green, but not for eco reasons If you know of any other Monsanto vegetables being sold in the UK, please let me know in the comments box below and I’ll update this.

So, it’s not GMO, then what’s wrong with it?

Bellaverde and Dulce Verde have very very naughty parents. Ms Seminis and Mr Monsanto are the world’s largest GMO creators and are guilty of mass crimes against humanity and the planet. You do not want these guys living on your estate, lest they bully you into buying their stuff. “This is the thin edge of a very long wedge”, as one Facebook protestor wrote.

Some of you believe that GMO is illegal in the UK, it’s not. It’s just had such a huge amount of opposition, it’s had to creep in, rather than shove its way in. This is one of the ways it can creep in. And once it’s here, it’s here to stay.

The USA has lost organic alfalfa because of Monsanto, and they predict all alfalfa will be GMO infected within a few years. This is the way of the GMO seed. I see it like this. Monsanto goes for world domination with seeds, there are no other seeds left to buy, and then whoopee, they can GMO everything in sight because there’s no other option. Don’t believe it won’t happen, or that’s not Monsanto’s intention.

There is some dark stuff around regarding Monsanto and you don’t have to dig too deep to find it. Here are some starters for you

Monsanto caused the suicides of over 200,000 farmers due to miss-selling its products

Monsanto is voted the worst company 2001

Monsanto created Aspartame, the neurotoxin that is responsible for around 75% of FDA food problem complaints. Oh, and Neotame.

And the worst of all Monsanto’s crimes so far? (GRAPHIC IMAGES WARNING)

Monsanto gave us Agent Orange, if you feel brave, have a look at some of the half million Agent Orange babies

Ask yourself. “Do I want to support a company that does this to people and the planet?” Now ask your supermarket the same.

Is GMO in any foods in the UK? Yes! GMO feed for non-organic animals that are eaten or “milked” is prevalent. There are others, but I don’t have a list because I don’t eat these products. If you want to let people know about them in the comments box below, please do, and I’ll add them here.

What you can do to ensure a Monsanto-free life

Buy organic. As of yet, there are no organically certified products in the UK that come from Monsanto
Buy local, from your trusted farmers. Ask them where their seed comes from. Don’t be fooled by Monsanto’s vegetable seed disguises.
Grow your own, using “heirloom” seeds, and save your seeds. Really, it’s the best thing for all concerned.
Share your seeds with your friends. Check out seed swap and seed bank organisations.
Be aware. This is not going to go away easily.
Love. Even though Monsanto happens to be sneaking into our lives, we can still be happy and live through our hearts

I found this on Facebook. Exactly the point.

Contact your supermarkets

Public pressure does work. Remember the Anti-South African fruit et al campaigns, that caused the downfall of Apartheid? Your actions make a HUGE difference. Don’t stop until we get results.

LET’S GET MONSANTO OUT OF THE UK FOR GOOD!

Here’s a list of supermarkets you may want to contact, and how to get hold of them on Facebook. You can also contact their customer services departments or go in-store to lodge your concern. Below that is a sample letter you could write, though feel free to be creative, while sticking to the facts. Our message is clear, we do not want Monsanto in our supermarkets, regardless of their guise:

Waitrose Facebook

Tesco Facebook

Sainsbury’s Facebook

A sample letter to ask for Monsanto to be removed from sale in UK supermarkets

Please join our Facebook group here so we can update you daily.

Dear (Supermarket)

You sell Bellaverde broccoli and/or Dulce Verde lettuce. These come from Monsanto’s vegetable company, Seminis. Monsanto is the world’s largest GMO company in the world. I do not agree with GMO or the criminal actions of Monsanto, and therefore am requesting that you refuse to stock these products as of today. Please let me know your decision.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely, (YOU!)

OK, that’s it I could write reams on this subject but I don’t want to emotionally invest in it. Wishing you all luck. Keep up the AMAZING work.

Update to Waitrose, M&S, Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Monsanto

I posted a link to this on Waitrose’s Facebook page, and they deleted it in minutes. I added another and it was also deleted. I’m not being abusive or aggressive with them, I just want them to read why their customers are so upset about this issue, so they can decide how to handle it better.

After the second removal, I wrote this:

I also put the same blog link on Tesco and Sainsbury’s Facebook pages. Tesco has deleted it already, too. They are hot at not wanting to attract negative attention, but will they take action? Weds 8th Feb, evening: Tesco has written a really nice letter to me on Facebook saying they understand where I’m coming from and are looking into it.

Thurs 9th Feb, nice email from Waitrose on Facebook. They are taking it more seriously now: “Thank you once again for all your comments overnight on Bellaverde broccoli. We take all your comments very seriously and as we said yesterday we are collating all posts and feeding these back to the buyers, please bear with us as this takes time. We have created a Bellaverde broccoli thread in our notes tab. If you want to continue to let us know what you think on this issue, could you please post all your comments here. This will alert you to any updates we post on this issue and help us keep all your comments collated in one place so they won’t get lost on the wall. We will update you on the notes page of all updates on Bellaverde broccoli. Thank you and have a good day. http://on.fb.me/xtC65p“

I wrote back: “Dear Waitrose. I’m so glad you’re taking these comments seriously. I just want you to know that there is now an official petition to get Monsanto out of our supermarkets. We are not just asking you, we are asking all of them. We are grateful that you always seem to lead the way in your ethical stance, and we appreciate it’s a huge job. I just really want to thank you for listening, and for taking the time to make a decision based on the facts, not just the marketing strategies of Monsanto-Seminis. I won’t link to the petition as I know you may remove it, but I wanted to let you know it exists. Thank you once again, and I hope you have a lovely day. Love xx”

Whatever next? Another Facebook find, thank you to the artist!

Please join our Facebook group here so we can update you daily.

Friday 10th Feb M&S has removed all references to Beneforte broccoli and Monsanto from its customer services Facebook page. Bad move in the age of transparency and love, M&S. I only found this out as I was about to post a thank you to them, and it wouldn’t post. Here’s the snapshot of it:

Monsanto in Marks and Spencer

If you are an M&S customer, I urge you to write further and ask them to cease all connections with Monsanto due to their criminal activities. We are worth more than this. The original post has now been shared over 500 times. Below is the landmark figure. Thanks to all who are sharing it. Please continue to do so, and please sign the petition, we need a thousand for it to be useful. As thousands of people have complained directly to the supermarket and are getting standard responses (this isn’t GMO so it’s not a problem) we MUST become more organised

Waitrose hit by Facebook fury over broccoli link to biotech giant

09 Feb 2012, by Julia Glotz, (C) The Grocer.

Waitrose has found itself in the middle of a social media storm for selling a variety of broccoli linked to biotech company Monsanto.

Bellaverde sweet stem broccoli is grown from seed sold by Monsanto subsidiary Seminis and is on sale in Waitrose for £1.99 for a 200g pack.

While the broccoli is grown using conventional breeding methods – it is not genetically modified – there have been cries of outrage from Waitrose customers about the supermarket’s decision to sell a product linked to Monsanto, which is involved in developing GM crops.

The supermarket’s Facebook page has been inundated with messages and comments from consumers, expressing their concern about Bellaverde broccoli and urging Waitrose to stop selling it. Waitrose has set up a dedicated Bellaverde broccoli thread on its site in order to deal with the sheer volume of customers’ comments.

One consumer from East Grinstead posted a letter, addressed to Waitrose MD Mark Price, warning of a “gargantuan consumer boycott” if Waitrose continued to sell the broccoli or any other product linked to Monsanto.

“Your company’s retailing of trademarked, ultimately sterile, F1 hybrid vegetables – specifically Bellaverde sweet stem broccoli – produced either by Monsanto UK Limited, Monsanto PLC, Monsanto UK Services Company, Monsanto UK Holding Company or subsidiaries thereof, is disingenuous in the extreme when presenting an ethical corporate face that professes to be anti-GM,” she wrote.

Another poster said consumers understood Bellaverde broccoli itself was not a GM food, but shoppers were “extraordinarily concerned about the obvious relationship between Waitrose and Monsanto”.

Responding to the comments, Waitrose wrote: “This broccoli is grown from conventionally bred seed sold by Seminis, who supply numerous growers, both large and small, in this country and around the world.

“While Seminis is a subsidiary of Monsanto, it uses traditional plant-breeding techniques. This is entirely in keeping with our policy of not allowing any GM ingredients in our own-label food. Conventionally-bred Bellaverde sweet stem broccoli offers excellent growing qualities to our farmers and superb flavour and value for our customers.”

The retailer told The Grocer it had no plans to stop selling Bellaverde broccoli, which has been on Waitrose shelves since 2009 [BrandView.co.uk]. The broccoli is also sold by Sainsbury’s and Ocado.

Sainsbury’s said its stance on GM foods was “unequivocal” and it did not permit the use of GM crops, ingredients, additives or derivatives in any of its own-label products. It also stressed that Bellaverde was bred using conventional methods.

Ocado said it had received no complaints from customers about Bellaverde and added it had a policy not to stock GM foods. “We always continue to reappraise customer feedback on any of the products we stock, but this is a product that is produced using conventional methods and we are happy to sell it,” a spokesman said.

Monsanto said vegetable seeds supplied to its European customers were all developed using cross pollination and selection, and not with GM techniques. This included the Bellaverde variety, the company added.

“Monsanto works closely with farmers and their retailer customers, including those with policies on plant breeding, to ensure consumers get the fresh, nutritious and tasty vegetables they demand,” Monsanto said.

Raw food on TV

By DoxtorAdd Comment

Raw food is coming to your TV very very soon!

Hey glitterbug

As you may have heard, I am recording the world’s first raw food TV series Well, it’s been a while now because it takes ages to do these things, so I wanted to give you an update.

We’ve already recorded most of the six raw food programs, five of them filling thirty minute slots, and one of them filling ah hour’s slot. The style of the shows are magazine-like. We are in my home, making raw food, and then I interview that episode’s guest. I have three sofas in my house and the guests say the most amazing stuff, so it doesn’t get boring, sound up or sound down! My guests and I talk about health, sport, fitness, growing your own, being forever young, foraging, different raw food prep styles and all the crazy things we eat.

We’ve also done on location shooting in various raw food places. I don’t want to spoil it so I won’t say where, or who makes an appearance, but you will recognise some of the most loved raw foodists on the planet in this series!

As far as the raw food recipes go, I have gone for simple ones as much as possible. There’s only one dehydrated recipe in the whole series and one of the raw food chefs made that! Though I have a “superfood raw food” philosophy for many reasons, I know it’s not everyones cuppotea, and I’ve been careful to include other raw food styles in the show.

This raw food series is truly the most progressive piece of TV that’s ever been filmed as far as food goes.

We have a couple of slots to film over the coming weeks, and then the world’s first raw food TV series is ready to roll out. Where it will roll, who knows. Who will see it, who knows. But I do know this, raw food has gone mainstream, which was my biggest wish! I hope I’ve represented all raw foodists and raw food styles in the show, too. I really wanted to do that.

I’ll let you know when it comes out, so you can get excited in my kitchen with me.

Oh, and if you are a VIPster, you’ll now have access to two short “backstage” videos! I hope you have had chance to enjoy them!

And here’s a picture of one of the raw food episodes. RAWK!

You can find The Active Channel on Sky 281. It’s Europe’s biggest health and fitness channel.

I want to personally thank Max and Matti, two of the loveliest people from the telly that I’ve ever met. Since my farcical Channel 5 appearance, I’ve only accepted two TV slots. One was for Market Kitchen with the wonderful Tom Parker Bowles, and this. When I got the email from Max to work on a documentary with him, I’d normally turn it down, but something in me said “do it” and now I know why. Max is a producer from heaven and I’m blissed to have fed him raw delights over my breakfast bar Always listen to your instinct, it will serve your higher self, time and again more than thought ever could. That’s probably the biggest business tip I could ever give you. Let your instinct be heard by clearing your mind, body and spirit and then you can broadcast your message to the world, too.

10 raw food on a budget tips

By DoxtorAdd Comment

Share Shazzie:

Raw food doesn’t have to break your piggy bank

If you’re keen on eating more raw foods for optimum health but on a bit of a tight budget, here are ten ways for you to get the good stuff into you and your family’s diet without breaking the piggy bank!

1. Less is more, when you make your food raw!

We are so used to eating plates piled high with food yet we can actually survive and enjoy radiant health on far less. YES! Buy the raw food you love, but as with any food, don’t over-eat just because it’s “healthy”.

Always eat your raw food when you’re relaxed and calm and thoroughly masticate your food (ie chew it to a paste!). Undigested raw food is not going to nourish your cells properly so enjoy what you eat, slow down and don’t over-pile the plate.

Now, put the kale chips down and move away from the dehydrator…

Raw food snacks

2. Sprout your seeds, they are a raw food staple

These little powerhouses of super-nutrition are cheap to buy and go a long way. Because it is so easy to sprout your own, you could have a week’s supply going at any one time on your windowsill. Think broccoli, alfafa, radish, fenugreek, mung bean, sunflower…. and all for a couple of pounds or dollars!

Raw sprouts are also fun to grow with children as they will enjoy the quick results of seed to young plant. Serve sprouts with your raw food or cooked meals twice a day!

And phew! You don’t need to eat huge plates of expensive raw veggies to get your daily quota of essential raw goodness when you include sprouts!

3. Grow your own raw food, it’s easy!

If you’re lucky enough to have a garden, use it to grow your own raw food. You might not have enough room to feed a family for months on end but every bit helps.

Start off with the easier salad veggies like rocket or lettuce which can grow in vast quantities, while you wait patiently for the seasonal fruits such as butternut squash and tomatoes.

Throw out that ornamental tree in your garden and plant a fruit tree!

Use your sunny windowsills for indoor growing too and encourage the family to help water and care for the plants.

If money is really tight, and you still want to treat yourself, make your own raw chocolates and raw nut butters. Limit yourself to one small treat a day and not only will you feel like Charlie Bucket just before he found the golden ticket, you’ll be getting a daily dose of really important vitamins and minerals but without overeating!

4. Make the most of raw food special offers

Whether it’s hanging out at the stupormarket or local grocer’s at the end of the day and bagging the best bargains, or making full use of our superfood discount and special deals from www.detoxyourworld.com, you can ensure you’re eating the best but at a much less cost! If it’s ethically sourced and produced, never fear a bargain!

Raw chocolate mousse

5. Share an allotment, share the work

Find out where your nearest allotment is and then get a small group of dedicated friends to share the load. You might get lucky and source one that is already in full bloom with an abundance of raw foods such as kale, cabbage, rocket, spinach, oriental greens, beetroot, carrots, celery, onions, herbs, companion plants with edible flowers and more, or you might need to start from scratch. But if you start sowing the seeds now, and take it in turns to tend to the crops, you’ll soon have your own organic raw foods to share out and munch upon, for a fraction of the price of store-bought raw foods.

6. Buy your raw food locally

Some of the fancy farm shops price their raw fruits and veggies at a premium but the local farmers often have surplus food that they need to sell, and they also need community support. Find out which ones grow organically and go and talk with them. Strike up a fair deal for pricing and if you give them loyal custom, you might find yourself plied with an abundance of good quality but inexpensive crops all year round.

If you get too much of one thing, look into fermenting, dehydrating and juicing — you can do so much with an over abundance of raw foods!

Cucumber water, raw food drink

7. Food swap

Don’t throw any raw food away — swap it instead! Grow extra sprouts and swap them for carrots from your neighbour’s garden. Make a handful more of raw chocolate bars and exchange for a two-day smoothie supply. Get to know your raw food community and encourage each other in your efforts to live with great health but to also save on time and money.

8. Buy your raw food in bulk

Find your nearest co-operative shop or online store and buy bigger bags of your favourite raw foods, as long as you know you’re going to use them and they won’t go out of date. And get your friends involved, so you can all buy your raw food in bulk and share the raw food health!

Some foods are easier to buy in bulk than others but you can preserve some of the surplus as before by dehydrating, freezing, fermenting and also… selling for a little extra profit!

9. Forage, raw food is everywhere!

Raw food is everywhere

No matter what “they” tell you, the world is full of free foods and they are for us to share and benefit from. Check out what raw foods are growing in your garden, in the fields near your home, your local wood or forest and at the beach. Just make sure it’s 100 per cent safe to eat first, and clean it appropriately. Consider enrolling on a forager’s course to learn more about how you can make the most of eating for free, from Nature’s Raw Food And Superfood Table!

10. Invest in raw food, invest in YOU

Remember that when you buy more raw food, you are also buying less processed and packaged goods. You will spend more on raw fruits, veggies and superfoods but you will then see that you have an decreasing need for expensive “vices”. Alcohol, cigarettes, pizzas, late night junk food binges, retail therapy — this is where the real expense is. Not to mention the prescription drugs you need when you get ill from eating too much of the wrong foods. Invest in your health. And ask for new specialist raw food kitchen equipment as your birthday and Christmas presses. It will last you a few years at least, and you are so worth it.

Yoko shares Detox Your World

I nearly fell over when I saw this. My friend Russell James pointed it out to me. Here’s a book list that Yoko Ono recommends and I’m on there!

Yoko is known world over for being the wife of John Lennon and for being an artist and a peace campaigner. I mean, I just love her. I just LOVE HER! I may never get over this moment.

And here is the book she’s recommending: Detox Your World, published in the UK by my company Rawcreation Ltd, and in the USA (in the summer) by North Atlantic books. The USA copy has been rewritten for the USA market. Both copies are up to date with information, so if you are from the UK, please buy the UK one. The USA one is full of American statistics and measurements in the raw food and detox recipes.

Detox Your World (Eurpean / metric version)

Detox Your World (USA version)

What is Detox Your World?

Imagine a transformation so profound it changes your whole world.

Detox Your World is 382 pages, with over 100 unique raw food recipes, to make your detox time interesting, tasty and fun.

So you can choose how to detox, there are several detox plans, including the weekend detox, a juice cleanse, a chakra rejuvenation detox, how to fast safely, and a Detox For Life plan.

Be inspired by the testimonials — real life people writing honestly how they lost weight, lost their illnesses whilst gaining confidence, direction and joy in their lives.

Find out the truth behind all the dangerous things which are considered safe by most, such as mercury fillings, vaccinations, and cooked food. Get that extra incentive to quit smoking or drinking, by reading the hard hitting facts alongside new solutions to break addictions and habits.

Delight in the Detox Helpers chapter – many luxurious ways of making your detox quite heavenly. There are also details on emotional detox techniques such as vipassana, laughing, and a secret set of exercises practiced by Tibetan monks!

Much more resides inside the cover of this comprehensive guide to detoxing your world, and you can read on here.

I just want to give a huge big thank you to Yoko for recommending this book to her audience. And I couldn’t finish the post without this, could I?

Gosh. The world just felt a whole lot lighter. I feel like 2012 has really kicked in now…

Raw chocolate goes global

Naked Chocolate, the world’s first raw chocolate book is now in Italian and Chinese

Hey guys

Just a quickie. My book Naked Chocolate, co-written with David Wolfe is making its way into languages other than English.

I just love the way the designers have recreated the covers. The Italian one is dark, deep, mysterious and has that unmistakable Italian feeling. And the Chinese one… those clever beings. They took the concept of raw chocolate being medicinal very literally and popped it in its own medicine box. I love them both and hope you do too. If you know someone who speaks Italian or Chinese, and they’re into raw chocolate, please let them know these raw chocolate books are now available.

Here are the Naked Chocolate covers!

Naked Chocolate in Chinese

Naked Chocolate in Italian

Naked Chocolate in the UK and Europe

Just to remind you, here’s our UK minimalist cover. Those are my hands, and yes, I did eat the chocolate beans afterwards. How could I not?

Naked Chocolate, European English version

Naked Chocolate, American version

This is the version you’re likely to see in the USA. The content is the same, the cover is less European

Naked Chocolate as Americans see it

So raw chocolate really has changed the world. It’s a revolution that I’m proud of being a part of. How about you?

And if you missed David and me on video recently, talking about raw food, raw chocolate, herbs and what’s going on with Naked Chocolate, then check this out:

Raw food in 2012!

Hey guys

Just a quickie to let you know that Rawpalooza, the world’s raw food summit of 2012, hosted and created by the wonderful Steve Prussack is taking place soon. In fact, it starts on my birthday, Monday 23rd January, 2012.

It’s a great opportunity for you to hear all the different raw food perspectives, what makes us tick, what we’ve researched and brought to you, and how we’ve grown as a culture over the years. There are some new and old faces there, mine being in the latter category but hopefully only in familiarity, as the raw food diet continues to keep the years at bay!

How to get access to the newest raw food information on the planet

You need to register for the event. It’s free to register and you get to hear all the interviews as they go out. You can if you like purchase the interviews to listen again and again to them for increased inspiration, but you don’t have to.

So click this link to register now: http://tinyurl.com/rawpalooza

There are about forty people being interviewed for this mammoth event. If you are serious about raw food, can you afford to miss it?

Who’s being interviewed at this raw food event?

Like I said, many new and many old faces. Here are the people I’m excited to listen to:

Aris LaTham
Philip McCluskey
Valya Boutenko

And me, but then I won’t have to listen to myself, will I!?

That’s my top pick, you may have others. Check out the line up here for the 2012 raw food summit

Here’s the blurb from The Rawpalooza web site

The raw food movement continues to grow, and more people realize the benefits of consuming fresh raw fruits and vegetables in their natural state. Eating more raw organic foods has been shown to reverse the aging process, increase longevity, accelerate weight loss, and open the flood gates for improvement in all areas of your life.

We created the program to provide the keys to superior health, conscious growth, and spiritual evolution. Our intention is to clear away the confusion about healthy living and help you overcome the misinformation that has been prevalent in mainstream society.

You are invited to this week-long tele-summit event taking place from January 23-30th, 2012. We have brought together the world’s leading experts, pioneers, and inspirations in raw food living, consciousness, spirituality, and wellness to showcase the latest insights, research, and practices that are proving to reverse/prevent disease, create more vibrant lives, as well as transform individuals all over the world.

Registration includes free access to the tele-classes throughout this ground-breaking event.
This event will connect the leading minds who are making a change on this planet. We can join together in community for the greater good of making this planet, as well as our lives, more sustainable, healthy, and conscious.

Boost your reiki practise with new ideas and techniques, and get the reiki love flowing to all those around you. Rochelle wrote the content from scratch especially for this app, so you won’t find it in any format elsewhere.

Here’s the blurb from the App Store

97 Reiki Tips by Rochelle Vincente Von K

Reiki master of twelve years, Rochelle Vincente Von K, wrote this app to assist in your reiki exploration. If you are attuned to reiki, or a reiki practitioner, or if you want to understand more on how reiki works, then this app will educate you in a fun and inspiring way.

Why Rochelle wrote this app

Reiki energy is universal life force. The difference between systems of reiki is really the tools we have and how we channel this energy. Her inspiration behind this reiki app is to clarify what the system of Japanese reiki really is, and to share with you some of the profound wisdoms of Usui as he intended, which has been missed from many Western lineages.

Spinning the wheel

There are 97 tips, hints and ideas for you to enhance your reiki with. Each one is on a card, that sits in a wheel. Spin the wheel, select the card that it stops on and read the card. Flip the card over for an in-depth meaning and guide. This app is a very handy way to quickly recall how to use reiki in every situation. Just keep it in your pocket and if you ever get the feeling you want to use your reiki, spin the wheel and see what wisdom it brings to you. Within the wheel, Rochelle explains the whole Japanese reiki system. She will guide you through the techniques and meditations of level 1 and touch on level 2.

Find out all the information on reiki, such as how it works, and how it mixes science with esoteric wisdom.
Discover and refresh all you need to know about level 1.
Learn practical techniques, breathing techniques, mantras and meditations as taught by Usui.
Though the information is based on level 1 practises, it touches on level 2 and is ideal to anyone wanting to know more about the foundation of Japanese reiki and what was really taught by Usui, Hayashi and Takata. This makes it useful for reiki masters from all the different lineages.
Get clear on the hand techniques and how to read your hands.
Experiment with the fun little games and exercises to help you build intent and intuition, so you can live more in tune with the flow of life.
Follow the tips for working with reiki on humans, plants, animals, food and liquids.
Enjoy the inspirational and insightful quotes and beautiful poems from the masters. This information is not usually taught to students on a typical level 1 course, but this is different because it’s based on Usui’s handbooks and Takata’s diary.
Find out how to cleanse and enhance objects.
Fully understand the hara system.
Explore the ancient healing art of reiki. You can gain a deeper understanding of all that is reiki, and live through it.

Raw food weight loss

By DoxtorAdd Comment

Share Shazzie:

Hey stunner

I want to tell you a bit about my good friend Philip. He used to be overweight. Sorry, he used to be obese. Sorry, he used to be morbidly obese. Sorry, he used to be beyond morbidly obese.

Blimey. Where do you go from there?

You either die or you diet. You can’t stay there, it’s the last stop before final checkout unless you find the trapdoor to escape through.

Well, Philip wasn’t ready to die, so he dieted.

In fact, he tried over thirty different diets. But as you and I know, only 1-2% of diets actually work in the long run. Yes, people lose weight, but they rarely keep it off. That’s how come around 68% of Americans are now overweight. And the cost of that? Only around $64 BILLION a year, in America alone. Well, as money appears to be a bit tight for quite a few of us right now, let’s stop throwing it around in the vain hope that it will make us thin and start being sensible about this:

Diets don’t work
More Americans and Brits are overweight now than ever before
Gastric bypass surgery is dangerous and can cause death
Gastric band surgery is dangerous and causes malnutrition

Not looking great is it? Especially if you are overweight right now. If you can’t diet or have surgery, and you’ve tried thirty diets like Philip, and you may even be beyond morbidly obese like Philip was, what else is there to try?

THIS

THIS, I say, with emphasis, because I know it’s the ONLY system in the world that works without fail on everyone who does it properly.

It’s an eating system that

Makes you your correct weight
Makes you sexier than you thought possible
Lets you eat huge amounts of tasty and delicious food
Puts the right nutrients in your body so you don’t get malnourished
Gives you more energy than you will know what to do with
Changes sad people into riduculously happy people
Connects you with your divine self, the self that may have been hiding under a layer or two of lard for a a while.

And Philip lost over 215lb (that’s 18 stone) using this system. Yes, that’s like a person or two. Imagine walking around with two people on your back? No wonder the poor guy couldn’t do up his own shoelaces!

Now, I’m not going to go on, I’m just going to show you some photos of Philip, who lost 215lb and has kept it off for years now. And I know Philip really well, he’s one of my best freinds. There’s no way that weight is going back on him.

Let me introduce you to Philip before he could tie his shoelaces:

Philip at over 400lb

And now let me introduce you to Philip these days:

I remember asking Philip “Did you know your face looked like that?” He didn’t have a clue. Imagine not knowing what you really look like because you’ve hidden yourself under piles of pizza, chicken wings, cakes, calzones and fries all your life?

I’m so astounded by Philip’s weight loss, and his capacity to help others, that he’s an expert in Shazzie’s VIP Room. We also did a seventy minute video about his weight loss exclusively for VIP room members. I cut some of the great bits into a Youtube video, which you can see here:

And I’ll leave you with a few more pictures of Philip’s life now. Because finally, he has one. And it’s a great one.

Hanging out with me in Brightonia, UK

Philip's old trousers. Now home to twenty rescued horses.

Look into those angel eyes

So if you are overweight, obese, morbidly obese or like Philip was, beyond morbidly obese and don’t want to die or face dangerous surgery, then click this long link here. I know you will find the real you if you follow in Philip’s footsteps. He might just carry you some of the way, because he’s lovely like that.

Bliss U

PS: I have contributed some great stuff to Philip’s sexy diet system, so when you start, have a look out for my stuff. I’m sure it’ll make it even easier for you to lose weight and recognise the real you.
