It is a universal wish to be able to live our life functioning at our peak on all levels, just as we did in our youth. It’s as if on some subconscious level we know it is possible and we know it’s the way it should be. And yet our society’s ways seem intent on casting an illusion of health and happiness when in actuality it re-inforces sickness, dependence, mediocrity and conformity, keeping hidden the truth of who we really are and what we are really capable of.

Lift the veil of this illusion and you will see we are surrounded by societies of people who are sicker than ever before, succumbing to more mental and physical illnesses at younger ages.
The surge in technological advancement has us living fuller lives whilst squeezing out the warmth of human connection. There is discontent arising from the superficiality of modern life and with a weakened sense of belonging more people are losing their souls in an avalanche of consumerism.
A pervasive trend towards self-obsession is unleashing discourteous, heartless behavior in its wake and preventing people from responding to the challenges of our times in an inclusive, evolved manner.

There is no doubt people are ageing earlier as a result of the lifestyles they are living.

Our bodies and minds are being bombarded with toxic, chemical combinations and we have no idea what these chemicals can do to us over the long-term. They are entering our environment through building and furnishing materials, house-hold and personal care products and most commonly through the food chain. Preservatives, additives and addictive taste enhancers are prolific in our expanding, processed, packaged diets. The consumption of animals, dairy, trans-fatty acids, refined sugar, salt and flour are at an all time high. Their acidic wastes clog our vital organs, encrust our veins, and fill our arteries and colons with sticky plaque. This in turn, sets the stage for chronic inflammation, degenerative disease and an early deterioration of our appearance. And in futile attempts to fix ourselves and our lives, we are seeing more dependence on poisonous pharmaceuticals at increasingly fatal costs.

We are in an age where the quest to remain youthful is a valued, relentless pursuit. The flourishing cosmetic industry has it all covered, from sucking off kilos of excess fat, to smoothing our wrinkles by paralyzing facial muscles. It comes with a heft y price tag and at great risk. Even so, undeterred, people will pay almost anything for a product, procedure or diet that promises to make them look young. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize that we age from the inside out.
If you are aging rapidly on the outside, you can be assured ageing is occurring on the inside. This is happening not only from our bodies being subjected to endless nutrient-deficient foods, but from chronic stress and a lack of sleep which have become the accompaniments for our fast-paced, time-poor, technology-driven lives. Both are major age accelerators disrupting the production of hormones responsible for numerous bodily functions, including repair, growth and rejuvenation.

For the majority of people the current cultural prototype for ageing is riddled with fear. Upon reaching an ordained number it subs out possibility, exuberance and esteem, opening the door into a compliant, medically managed passage. Restricted, inherited societal beliefs and attitudes passed into our consciousness damage our faith, confidence and the regenerating ability of our cells and organs. Feeling powerless, most people resign themselves to the inevitability of becoming sick, decrepit and a discarded member of society. Through surrendering the full responsibility of their own health and well-being into someone else’s hands, they have unwittingly stripped themselves of a most precious gift – their personal power.

The truth is – no one else can captain the vessel that is you – better than yourself. No-one else can give your body what it needs to function at its optimum. No-one else can give it the right amount of sleep, exercise, the right nutrients and the right amount of kindness, love and affection. No-one else can at any given moment access the divine healing and regenerative power that is always with you. And no-one else can write the contents of the script with which you orchestrate your life.

The world desperately needs role models of this kind – people who have pushed through outmoded limitations and beliefs around health, ageing and relating and who have come out the other side into a superior, more evolved way of being.

Radiating A Better Way, They Will Lead Others To A Better Way

Perhaps you are feeling a gentle tugging, an intuitive prompting. Are you being called to step up to the plate? Are you ready and willing to let go of habits, behaviours and a way of living that is breaking down people’s bodies and minds and in effect holding humanity back? A way of living that continues to be perpetuated as the best mode for great health, longevity and great relationships, yet is proving over and over to be a dismal failure.

Knowledge is power. With knowledge you can take back full responsibility for the way in which you age. That means you are responsible for the level of health, happiness and well-being you experience by being accountable for the choices you do or don’t make. If you know that you have everything you need, in and around you to achieve superior health and well-being, then it becomes simple. You can dismantle the beliefs that prevent you from being all you can be and living your life with meaning and fulfillment. With kindness, you can encourage and support others to do the same. Then people can aspire to more, strive for more, contribute more and be seen as valued members of society.

We all have to get back in touch with ourselves. We have to act in our own best interests from paying attention to and trusting what our bodies are telling us. We have to believe we can age with great health, great looks, great vitality and a youthful zest for life, because it is possible.
Within each and every one of us dwells the spark of an innate intelligence our Creator. We have been gifted with the greatest creative and healing forces which can enable us to manifest our dreams and to repair and rejuvenate our bodies, hearts and minds, no matter what our age.
We each carry the seeds for success, abundance, beauty and vitality. We are meant to live a joyful, kind-hearted life in robust health with a youthful body and spirit. Our loving Creator has given us the home which provides all that we need to make this possible. We have the warm, healing rays of the sun, sparkling water and clean air. We have been given a bountiful supply of exquisite plants and fruits – raw and living foods – to delight our senses and saturate our bodies with regenerating elements. And we have beautiful animals and of course, each other, to care for, share with and love.

Nothing else on this earth is more medicinally potent than fresh, organically grown fruit, vegetables, greens and sprouts, straight from the very source of life itself where nothing is missing or incomplete. Authentic, unsurpassed food –uncooked, unaltered, unprocessed, containing its full spectrum of minerals, vitamins, anti-oxidants, phyto-nutrients, chlorophyll, oxygen and other essential compounds.

These Are The Foods That Produce Superior Health,
Superlative Beauty and Serene Well-Being

A diet high in raw and living foods can help bring about self-actualisation where you become the expression of the person you know yourself to be. It is an exciting, transformational experience. Eliminating toxic foods and drinks and increasing your intake of raw and living foods activates powerful chemical changes to take place in the brain and the body. Raw food nutrition brings about a cleansing of the brain cells and the right side, the intuitive side of the brain is enhanced. Your senses will sharpen. You will see, smell, feel, taste and hear things at a much deeper level. You are more in tune with your own and other people’s feelings. Through raw and living food nutrition the constraints of a false persona are cast off. Gone are the feelings of uncertainty, inadequacy and limitation. A sense of personal liberation arises, opening the way for bolder, braver approaches to life’s daily challenges. With the raw food edge you can step into the realms of higher perception, abundance, health and success with a clarity and awareness unlike anything you have ever experienced.

Could kindness be another key to achieving solidarity, harmony and the unfoldment of our magnificent potential?

I believe so. Kindness is a seed planted in each and every one of us. Acts and words of kindness infuse our life with a magical energy that ripples outwards into every living thing we come into contact with. It is the fountain from which the qualities of encouragement, generosity, forgiveness, trust, joy and love spring forth.

Choosing to live with kindness as a guiding force brings us into contact with who we already are. Being kind to ourselves means building ourselves up with thoughts of encouragement, faith and success and guarding against self-criticism in any form which steals our vitality, our looks and our serenity.

Through the practice of showing kindness, caring and affection, we touch each other deeply, lifting uor consciousness to higher levels. As we become comfortable with this higher awareness, it becomes easier to relate to others with a higher form of love.

The World Is Aching For New Paradigms Of Possibility

By living the Rawjuvenate for Life Principles outlined in this book you can be a role model of change, leading by example, inspiring others, not trying to fix them, just simply “being the change you want to see”. When you proceed through life with thoughts of possibility for yourself and act in ways of possibility for yourself, you can break free of the constricted cultural and societal mindset that has crippled the capabilities of previous generations.

That is how change occurs. It is how you can align yourself with a more evolved, humanitarian perspective while experiencing more joy, more meaning, more vitality and aliveness than you ever thought possible.
