Chinese Medical Dietary Therapy (Shi Liao) & Living Raw Foods: is Raw Cold?





 I got into Chinese Medicine when i was seriously allergic to a long list of foods as well as hypersensitive to most foods on this planet - including rice. I had many different symptoms and every Chinese Medicine doctor would take my pulse and gasp "Spleen Qi Deficiency".  I have tried and tested many different approaches to dealing with Spleen Qi deficiency. Acupuncture +Chinese Herbs & Shi Liao Dietary therapy is amazing & for some years it really improved my starting position. After studying a Chinese Medicine degree and some years of practice, I heard about Raw Foods & then instinctively began combining Shi Liao's knowledge of food energetics with Living foods. The results really put the icing on the cake for healing & optimum nutrition for me - pun intended! I now see those results with my clients & hear similar stories from many others out there. Its an exciting time in nutritional medicine. 


The word for spleen in chinese med is Pi - which actually translates to refer to either Pancreas or Spleen. Spleen Qi deficiency can refer to pancreatic hypofunction which frequently means low digestive enzymes. One of the main problems with Spleen Qi deficiency is poor transformation & transportation of the nutritive substances in food. This means, you have poor breakdown & absorption of nutrients from whatever you are eating. The body requires enzymes to break food down into its molecular nutritive components. The pancreas & liver create enzymes, and foods in their natural state contain enzymes. You can deplete your body, especially your pancreas of enzymes. Over time, enzyme depletion leads to poor digestion, low energy and food stagnation. Food sensitivities and some allergies are extremely responsive to enzyme replenishment. Heating foods above 47ºC begins to destroy the inherent enzymes. There are many ways to combine raw living foods and prepare them which can make these foods thermally warm. This can include adding fresh ginger, spinach or spices, or occasionally using a dehydrator to warm foods. If you have a look at many Raw Food recipes, you will soon discover the artistry and advanced alchemy of food combining & preparation techniques make the Living Foods nutritional approach a wisdom far beyond eating uncooked things from the cold fridge. 


Living foods have their enzymes intact which makes them easier to digest. Living vegetables also contain solar photonic energy from the sun, in the process of photosynthesis. This "living light" energy is very abundant for human health & awareness.  Raw food is a composite of knowledge about living foods + alchemy of food combining. I feel that the Chinese advice about not eating raw cold foods is referring to literally eating cold, raw items in an otherwise mixed diet, which includes cooked items that inhibit the effects of a living foods diet. Eating cold, raw items in a mixed cooked diet seems to have a cold effect that is different to eating raw living foods in a primarily live food diet. I believe this is because of the combined relationship between the Liver, Gall Bladder, Pancreas & Spleen. The TCM pattern known as Wood Invading Earth is relevant to understanding how eating cold, raw food on a mixed cooked diet has a spleen invading effect. However, the benefits on the Liver & wood element once someone adopts a complete living foods diet with enough raw leafy greens leads to the Spleen + Pancreatic Qi increasing so much its amazing to experience the pure vitality and clear awareness. The Wood is no longer invading the Earth element and the nutritive & enzyme replenishing benefits of live food takes effect. A live food diet also resolves damp in many cases, because the greatest causes of damp are cooked fats & oils. A raw fat or oil is a different molecule to its cooked counterpart. Cooked fats are very hard work for the Liver, and as the Liver is also impacted by stress & negative emotions, its easily one of the most overworked organs in our modern society. 
You need to eat at least 70-80% living foods to experience this magnificent Qi boost with appropriate thermal combinations for your yin-yang constitution plus your climate. Eg including ginger is warming to the thermal quality of the dish. Chinese medical advice about cold foods is appropriate for a very cold climate if you do not know how to combine living foods for complete nutrition and thermal value. 


My personal nutritional approach is a combination of chinese medicine + living nutrition. It includes understanding organic local seasonal foods, appropriate time of year & day for eating particular foods, the thermal & energetic nature of foods + preference for living wholefoods & optimum nutrition.
A great way to experience the living food difference is to start including a Raw Green Smoothie in your diet everyday.  Increasing the amount of leafy greens you eat + not cooking your greens tends to have a very noticeable effect in an otherwise mixed diet. I find that other benefits come with eating 70-80% living foods each day, yet everyone can experience the pure power of raw leafy greens & living light by simply increasing your daily intake of this food group. I also noticed that at first I ate 100% raw vegan for 3months, because once I began to increase my live food intake, each time I ate something with no enzymes (even organic veg produce) my new abundant energy collapsed and I'd need a nap. After a few months of enzyme replenishment, I was able to eat nearly anything for the first time in years without the usual symptoms and fatigue. 
Green smoothies are the key to the introduction of living foods.

I love the book 'The Raw Food Solution' by Mizpah Matus. It's an excellent book if you would like to learn more about living foods.

End-Times of the Great Cycle



The Great Cycle, which constitutes a part of the Mayan Calendar, goes for 5125yrs. Each time we go through a Great Cycle, it is called a Sun. Regardless of which specific end date you feel is most accurate, we are at the end of the 4th Sun and the dawning of the 5th Sun, signalling an evolutionary leap in awareness.

As with many crossover periods of long term cycles, the associated 'events' of the End-Times will occur over a period of years. Mayan Elder, Don Alejandro Oxlaj Perez, head of the Mayan Council of Elders, has said these events take a generation to manifest. The end date is but the central vertex of an approximately 40yr shift. Energy changes first occur on the finest most subtle levels, and take time, years, to become their full expression in Earthly physical manifestation. This means the energy that shifted to a particular completion yesterday may become apparent in the mainstream global culture tomorrow. Clearly, and beautifully, the world's human heart has really started to show signs of awakening and gaining momentum. October 2011's 'Occupy' movement shows the global human heart is walking and talking. "We are the 99%" demonstrates the energy that has already awakened, is really starting to manifest in physical form.

I would caution against expecting a 'thing' to occur on a particular day. This marks the end of a 5125yrs cycle, and the beginning of the next with 'events' of the changeover period occurring for years. Instead of applying intellectual energy to figuring out if the true end date is in 2011 or 2012, open your heart to perceive we are in the middle of a 40yrs window of endings and beginnings. What you don't know today, for sure, you might know in another time, but stalking that moment of true knowing via debate will not bring you to your awakening, or the knowing that humility & retrospect can access.

When people expect this prophecy to deliver a 'thing' on a set day and it doesn't happen, they don't see the forest for the trees of all the change that is occuring, and the beautiful pattern tool is misunderstood. It is only during the last 20-30 yrs that this expectation has been layed onto the Mayan Calendar, by other cultures & Hollywood. I love it that this process is actually part of the prophecy too. It is prophecised that people will pull apart pure ideas and turn them into their opposites - it is called enantiodromia - and by doing this, the mind reaches a death, whereby all that mental overlay onto pure energy is realised as untruth. From this death, the mind evolves and consciousness becomes more aware of the true nature of energy and time / timelessness... the era of realising this cannot be delivered on a 'day' or it abides by time. 

 Non-linear time jokes are working out for me, ironically, right on schedule with the 2011 pattern. A few weeks ago, what was one timezone became two. Im now living on the border of 2 different timezones. In the morning I leave home at the same time I wish to start at clinic, though it takes 45mins to get there. In the car I listen to the end half of a radio show until I have to retune to the same station halfway to my destination.. when I retune the show goes back in time and I get to hear the first half of it. Vice versa, I leap forwards in time when im going home. Unless I tell my phone to lock into a certain moment, my kitchen is the most futuristic part of my studio, it's a whole hour ahead of the bathroom. Some find it annoying, but the more arbitrary time becomes, the more I enjoy it. The truth is, that non-linear experiences have prospered in my awareness my whole life, and this well-timed joke of the community clock is not really what non-linear perception is. Of course, the immaculate tapestry of infinity tells me this joke, on time with the end of time. LOL the majestic creations of infinitely reflective consciousness.



Non-linear perception is when you are able to track your body consciousness which responds to things with physical signals before they occur. Listening to your body consciousness is a choice of heart, and deep honesty with self. It's available to you anytime and is the direct route to overcoming the mental domination of your inner dialogue, which interferes with your true perceptive abilities. The experience is personal and may consist of energy blows, feelings, seeings, and sudden knowings.
This information comes to you from the moment of your death. This is your life review, present in every moment, advising your body consciousness via energy blows & very rapid conduits to 'knowing" anchors at different points along timelines.  At the moment of death,  self is oneness, you contain infinity, all time-space is one moment, and all you need to realise, is that you can realise this at anytime during life.

Acupuncture for Fertility

In my work combining Shamanic Healing with Chinese Medicine, there are many various conditions that I help people with. Here's a new article specifically for people who want to optimise their fertility. In these times, there are so many environmental toxins, pollution and food chemicals in processed foods, plus hormonal additives in animal products that interfere with your natural fertility and Jing Qi. It is becoming well known that fertility rates have been dropping. Your fertility is not just for making babies however, it is also a vital essence of life force, known as Jing Qi. Think of Jing Qi as an essence as important as blood, for your optimum wellbeing, vitality and youthfulness.

Read full article here Acupuncture for Fertility & IVF support 

While Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine may be at least 2000yrs old, it has more recently been gaining popularity and developing a good reputation for increasing fertility and improving success rates with IVF treatments. Acupuncture has also helped couples conceive naturally in cases where infertility has been suggested, yet unexplained. There are many factors that may contribute to optimising your fertility, so how does Acupuncture work and why may it contribute to your chances of becoming pregnant?

Chinese medical gynaecology is quite advanced with Acupuncture and Herbal medicines for every reproductive condition, fertility challenge and hormonal imbalance. If you are being treated with Acupuncture for fertility management your overall health and reproductive system will improve. We can also treat men for fertility support and reproductive health. Acupuncture and herbal medicine can improve sperm count, motility and morphology. In my own clinic, I advise for both partners to be enhancing their fertility and overall health prior to conception, because this is how you pass on the best of what you’ve got to your children. It is possible to take only herbs or to not take herbs and just receive Acupuncture, however the combination of both gives you the best of Chinese Medicine.

Go to my website Acupuncture Natural Medicine to read more about Shamanic Healing, Chinese Medicine, or to read the rest of this article.

Inaccessible to drama



On drama...
Know when it arises but do not let your attention go to it.
You have allowed interference /drama to sustain in you by letting it divert your attention onto it, thereby fuelling it. This is how all dramas in your life are able to sustain, if & when they do. It is an interesting space you have to learn to hold now - read this carefully:
By being aware of the drama, you sustain the drama and your practice is to learn to know it when it arises (because your body consciousness will alert you through all connectivity) - yet not allow your attention to go to it.
In the instant that you sense it, you must ignore it and be absolutely inaccessible. All thoughts about who is playing which role in this drama will sustain it. Remain empty, do not rush to take position of being wronged, or any other position. Take no position. Be love, be everything.
In this way there is nothing to feed and you are neither the food nor the feeder.

Levity, Light & Blossoming

 Kakadu Lotus image by Dan Schreiber

When the flower responds to the light and begins to open it's petals, it only makes effort involving its own internal energy at the beginning. Once the petals have opened to the light a certain amount, gravity takes over and the petals then fall restingly open.
When i first learnt this, it was about Lotus. My heart relaxed into this information, like a pressure lifted off. Even though i wasn't fatigued at the time, the pressure was an illusion about effort & fatigue, that was hiding somewhere in my body. It was interferring with Levity & Bouyancy. 
The result is lightness & giggles.
