The proliferation of chemicals being thrust into our food and water supply is a large factor in the early breaking down of people’s minds and bodies. Many chemicals poison our brain cells. Together with the toxic wastes generated from the highly processed foods people are mainly eating today, sticky plaque gets deposited in the capillaries and veins which feed nutrients to the brain cells. This in turn creates a myriad of mental and emotional problems. Depression, apathy, (a “who cares or so what” attitude) is evident all around us.

The dumbing and numbing down of people’s senses can keep them locked in a self –focused, superficial existence which eventually pushes down their belief in their abilities to add value and to make a positive difference in the world.

A Raw and living foods lifestyle changes all that! Yes, a large part of the solution to doom and gloom has been staring us in the face all our lives. It’s in our own backyards amongst the fruit trees and the abundance of green plants that surround us.

A diet high in fresh, seasonal, juicy fruits, leafy greens, with brightly coloured vegetables, seeds and nuts can bring about self-actualisation where you become the expression of the person you know yourself to be. It is an exciting, transformational experience. Raw food nutrition activates powerful chemical changes to take place in the brain. A cleansing of the brain cells takes place and enhances the intuitive, right brain bringing to life your special gifts and talents.

Remember, your contribution is valuable and needed and there is no greater joy than to serve others with your unique abilities.

Your senses will sharpen. You will find you are more in tune with your own and other people’s feelings and a sense of personal liberation arises which opens the way for bolder, braver approaches to life’s challenges.

The world – right now - needs more brave people. People who want to make a positive difference. People who aren’t afraid to take a stand when they encounter unjust behaviours or attitudes which causes suffering to the planet and its inhabitants.

With a new-found faith and courage, it becomes easier to break free of the constricted cultural mindset that has crippled the capabilities of previous generations. Much of the approaches to wellness, ageing and relating handed down to us are outdated and don’t further the betterment of humans, animals and the planet. When you first start out changing what you eat, you need support and encouragement. Let me re-assure you - You are doing the greatest service to yourself and humanity by deciding to eat how you have been designed to eat. It is important to cultivate friendships with people who build you up with words of success, possibility, hope and faith. Thoughts of hope, faith and victory, whether sent by another person or brought into your mind by yourself, call forth great unseen energies which repel doubt and fear, the hindrances to achieving your heart’s desires.

Doubt, fear and worry, make your nervous system unstable and suppresses your immune system. It becomes difficult for your body to remain strong and vibrant, when it is overtaken with fear and uncertainty.

Be brave, have faith and trust…..and your world will reflect back to you these qualities in all your associations and situations.

Make courage, your constant thought affirmation.
