Currently things are moving fast, and in the flow for me. I'm truly in a state of grace for this massive flow of energy. Its all about love and gratitude and keeping the energy moving.

Each day I ask myself if I am willing to receive new energy, new love, and show up anew, with all existing aspects of myself newly improved. I'm willing, I'm willing! Today I begin my Spring Cleanse. Find me on facebook, under "Earthsong Organics Kefira" to learn more.

Yesterday a friend asked me if Kefira tasted this good, could it really be that good for you?

YES! Its true, Kefira's delicous, and healthy for you. Its time to get that incredibly healthy food and drink can taste this good, the taste is what inspired me to launch Earthsong Organics and bring this drink to market!

if you want great tasting, quick absorbing probiotics, and you live in California, I suggest Kefira. Its a raw, organic, dairy-free probiotic kefir drink. Delicous and refreshing, its bliss in a bottle.

so, yes, this is my product, so I'm bias, yet I have consulted hundreds of people through the years with gut issues, and I find Kefira to be a balm of sorts. Its easy to drink, while being a healing food. For many this is a true gift, especially those who lean away from pills, potions and supplements in general.

If you live in California, and if you shop at Whole Foods, you can find Earthsong Organics Kefira on the shelf. Its likely next to one of the many kombucha's found in the marketplace, please note; Kefira's not bucha! Its a raw, organic, naturally fermented non-diary kefir drink.

So sublime, even those who generally dont like fermented drinks actually dig Kefira, its easy down, thrist quenching....what pleases me, as the formulator is Kefira tastes like healthy can and should! Additionally, Kefira soothes the digestive track, its superpowered with active probiotics and prebiotics. Im grateful for Kefira, the drink itself is what gave me the energy to get through the the last intensive 11 months of the Earthsong Organics, Inc. start up experience!

Ive been in the midst of a big, big blitz, birthing my new raw, organic, naturally fermented non dairy kefir beverage into the commercial marketplace. Kefira. Your going to hear alot more about Kefira in the coming months, for now, I want to ease into the flow of the entire Earthsong Kefira start up journey. All along I had a desire to write more, and think less, yet getting out of my head and onto the keyboard was unthinkable when Ive spent most of my waking hours since I finished formulating the 3 flavors we are going to market with, doing computer work. For months I was in the test kitchen for hours and hours each and every day, then, then, when the formulas were ready to roll, a whole new layer of deep work kicked in.    Read More

If you have high blood pressure, use decaffeinated, rather than regular coffee. Decaf will prevent blood pressure spikes, and potential trips to the emergency room. Recently a close friend with moderating high blood pressure did a late afternoon coffee enema, which I do not recommend in the first place. Always do coffee enemas before 12 noon allowing the remainder of the day into the evening to stabilize from the experience.Six hours later his blood pressure was spiking, serious anxiety and fear set in, along with lightheadedness, so he had a friend take his woozy self to the emergency room.    Read More

As the season warms, you might find yourself attracted to lighter breakfasts, and smoothies offer a delightfully creamy solution, if you can turn your blend into more than just a sweet treat. There are as many ways to make a smoothie as their are blenders in the world, and I figured I had about 1000 such recipes, so I'm gathering them into my Green Smoothie Queen book; until its done I will continue to offer great smoothie recipes. I designed this one for a young women just beginning to heal her gut and digestive stress. Her symptoms are similar to what is classified as IBS, and food allergies, but really stem from a combination of parasites and Candida. Bananas and avocados aggravate her so instead we use a Papaya to create that wonderful creamy consistency.    Read More

I was working with a client in the afternoon, and as the time passed I felt her energy was starting to fade. She was getting low blood, and needed a snack. Every few hours we need fuel to function well. When I create food plans for clients they get customized snack suggestions to go with their daily food plan, some of these snacks are universally great for everyone, others way more specific based on unique metabolic needs.
One of my favorite versatile snacks that seems to work for everyone, if you like Nori, is this easy to make wrap, what I call the perfect snack!
1 sheet raw or toasted Nori
1 large piece of washed and dried lettuce
¼-1/2 ripe avocado, sliced
Handful of fresh sprouts
Sea salt to taste    Read More

Every day emails arrive from clients, or potential clients asking me a wide range of questions, my goal is to share these questions, and the answers to better support a greater number of people.
Today’s question: What do you personally recommend diet - wise for me, that I can do while still nursing. I have PMS, liver-chi stagnation, my bowels are not eliminating well, and, I woke up with a hot, throbbing headache today. I had these issues before I had babies, then they went away, but are back again as I am beginning my menses. I think I need to stop the coffee and alcohol. What about an herbal remedy, what are your thoughts Chakra?    Read More

A new smoothie emerged, its perfect fuel for a whole food meal on the run! I use the products I offer here on fullchakra.com, Health Force, and Nutiva Brands.    Read More

Less than 10 minutes to another delicious bowl of nutrient rich soup and not a pot to clean in my sink!!
Lunch can be challenging if I’m cold, and don’t feel like eating one of my go to lettuce or nori wrap stuffed with grated or fermented veggies, avo or pate, or hummus and sprounts. I'm zipping here and there, today, from computer screen to hiking trail, to phone appointments, working through today’s to do list, which is clearly rolling over through tomorrow.    Read More

My son Kai came home last night for a bit of r & r, needing to get out of LA and get a whiff of the sweet scent of home. Here in Ojai the orange blossoms are in bloom, seducing the air with their rich fragrant smell. I asked what he wanted to eat, and he said a "home cooked meal" anything.....meaning if I made the food, he would be happy. So I made meal fit for my young king last night, and this morning he wanted me to make his smoothie, cuz mine are richer and creamier than the ones he makes. I think he is really after my vita mix.....he just has an Oster blender, heck, he is only 17 and has only been away from home a couple of months!

Heres the smoothie I made for Kai this morning:

1 frozen banana

1/2 C papaya

1 C strawberries    Read More

The time has come to launch this site and blog. Its’s a strange phenomenom yet sometimes I put off doing what I really want to do, and in this case I have been putting off sharing for the greater good , yet postpone this moment I did.    Read More

Its chilly and rainy here in Southern CA. and though its so much warmer than the rest of the country, we still shiver against the elements since we are used to warmer temps. We wear Uggs, fleece and drink hot ginger tea during the day for its deep warming powers. Today I got up and began an infusion of nettles tea. I put a cup or so of dried nettles herb harvested locally and air dried, into a half a gallon clean glass jar. I put a metal spoon in the jar, and then poured boiling hot water over the nettles. I left the spoon in the jar so the hot water would not crack it, and covered the jar tightly.    Read More

When the seasons changed this fall I began making a lot of Hemp seed milk. I have dozens of recipes, my current favorite is to blend Hemp Milk with a tsp. freshly made ginger juice and a dash of powdered cardamom powder and a couple of tablespoons of Greener Grasses, yum!    Read More

When I woke up this morning, the first thing I did was throw on my sweats and jump on my Xiser. I love this machine! I abhor the treadmill; it's such a big bulky hulk of a tool, and I think treadmills are so over. When I was Editor in Chief I wrote about the Xiser with Dr. Mark Smith, the Dr. behind this amazing machine in the Natural Cures Newsletter. I think burst training is the more intelligent cardio exercise in the world. That it can be done in only 8 minutes a day makes sprinting on the Xiser brilliant. The science behind sprinting combined with the technology of the Xiser, offers you the healthiest cardio workout available in just 4-10 minutes a day. No... it is not just another stepper!    Read More
