fruit and juices

   1.   The more colourful the more energizing!

    2.    Since in winter there is little choice of seasonal vegetable and greens, salads often turn out
           boring and without enough variation due to the lack of fresh ingredients. Adding some cooked
           vegetable to your salad is a great way to make it a bit richer, but I want to suggest you another  
           delicious alternative: add fruit to your salad!

          Our favourite pairings added to our usual salads:
          pear + rucola
          date + tomato
          pomegranate + lettuce
          orange + fennel
          apple + cabbage

    3.   During the night soak dry goji berries in water. In the morning drink the goji water and spread
          the berries over your muesli.
   

       
    4.   Combine fruit and leafy greens in your smoothies.  Here is my sunshine smoothie for you!

    5.   A three day raw juice and water fast is a great way to detox. It gives your body a fresh start
          without depriving yourself of essential nutrients.
          

emotional detox is like a refreshing vacation

We all know that emotions like anger, grief and fear, just to mention the most common ones on the negative side, have an impact on our minds and bodies. Take a quiet moment and try out the remedies below. They work!

1. Practice  Yin Yoga

          It is a practice of surrender, of acceptance, of non-doing. 

          Just sit, bring your feet together, elongate the spine and come slowly into a forward bend. Low 

          down your body, let your head drop and close your eyes.                           

          Don't want to get somewhere, don't pull on yourself. Just breathe, relax and feel a deep release.
          It's ok right here and right now.

    2.   Breathe

          Sit quiet and slow your breathing rhythm down, inhale I am love, exhale I love. Very simple,  
          though very powerful. Be aware that the words I am bear the highest amount of creative
          energy, in both senses, positive and negative.


    3.   Meditate on  Love - Truth - Beauty - Trust - Harmony - Peace - Humility.
          These words and the visions they evoke will instantly rise your vibrations.


    4.    Imagine three silver and golden sparkling 8s  in your head (as in the picture below) and follow        
           them smoothly and steadily in your imagination. Not all at once, but one after the other.
           It's ok, that your eyes follow the movement.
           This exercise harmonizes your brain hemispheres and activates the glands in your head.

   
       

    5.    Take a long walk in the sunshine.

    6.    Arrange fresh flowers all over  your home.

    7.   Do something you love so much that you forget time and space doing it.

    8.   Surround yourself with people you can lough with and who make you feel energized.
