strength | rust

“My greatest strength is my vulnerability” my best friend used to say. She wielded her vulnerability like some kind of girly light saber & scared less-than-extraordinary mortals away. Never a dull moment. This leaving period is creating peaks & troughs of fragility & strength. As I countdown, with humorous awareness I’m enjoying the habits/routines which I’ve created for myself to experience pleasure & joy in my surroundings. Now, I leave not only bricks and mortar but those kooky habits, knowing that they restrict me - that there is more out there. So much more. So I’m having days of immense focus & other days where I’m unable to speak - when a movie triple bill & lots of crying is the only answer [I'll see whatever is playing NOW - no I don't care if it's with Keira, this is an emergency]. Have I created Suki-land to survive London, or work, or is this me being me?

Not knowing what comes next this time around means really taking a look at my attitudes towards money & work: my inherent independence v my desire to collaborate: trusting in other people & their integrity v letting them off the hook (does this mean selling myself short? This probably needs a blog of it’s own..) even if they’re asses (without judgement): trusting in abundance v ‘money doesn’t grow on trees’. I’m picking, scratching, flaking off the rust - wire wooling down to shiny metal. Watching, watching..

Bandwagon: and yes, because everyone else is doing it, we raided the attic & botched together some before and after photos. Naturally, Vanity insisted that the truly horrid ones were deleted at the time, so this is the best/worst I could find..

  

 

Antonia

I’m very happy! My client & friend Antonia Taylor is taking the hot seat at Brackenbury the moment I leave. She has a natural aptitude for poo & a charming way about her - you are in safe hands. She’s also receiving the caring magic of Fiona, so the link continues..

I’m working with a client who has been taking Diatomaceous Earth for parasites. I haven’t found a  UK ‘human’ grade source anywhere yet - if anyone has had any experience with this, please let me know. It worked magic on her, so I’m interested to try it. I’m going to miss seeing such incredible transformations in people up close and personal.

I am reading The Disappearance of The Universe by Gary Renard. When it arrived (thank you Shea) I admit I groaned and thought - another book to add to the pile of half-read life-changing never-get-finished masterpieces. Maybe I never will finish this - but within 20 pages I wanted to take a week off to soak it up & absorb it. It ties together Buddhism, Deepak, Jesus & much much more - making sense of all everything. 

The yummy Space of Love gathering is coming up soon; Twinkel’s Metamorphosis Events are bringing David Wolfe to the UK this Autumn; and on 08.08.08 at 8.08am Waz will open Manna Livefood Juice Bar Cafe at Coombe Road, Brighton: Sussex is the place to bee… ❖

Every time I have put my key in my front door since I moved into this flat, I’ve been grateful for this space. I’m still surprised that I’ve been ‘grownup’ enough to stay this long & manage to pay the rent. But now I’m leaving & I’ll have no key for a while. The callous on my back from lying in the bath & the callous on my ankle from sitting on my bench will vanish. The tide is turning - as I start to sell & clear & save, I stop buying, collecting & accumulating. Interesting how it’s either one or the other - I can’t do somewhere in between. A happy free & light backpacker am I - who the moment I settle begins to nest. Then I begin to feel burdened by things & long to be empty again. This is my 4th leaving - the biggest yet & yet the easiest because I’m happy. And bouncing off from a good place is different from running away or sadly sneaking out. I keep finding myself taking time to breathe/meditate - needing space, time & quiet to process the change & to let go. Reaffirming that this is the right move to make & that there is a place for me somewhere, a reason, a purpose - connecting with divine guidance & trusting. Or that’s the idea..

Shout out to Franky G who should be just about done with running the Vermont 100 round about now. I was sending you speedy feet of air Banana Boy..

❤ to Nessa who is now with us in the non-physical..

 

skin | doctors

Skin & Colon always go hand in hand - of course every organ is linked & only by treating the Whole can we heal - but especially in the cases of psoriasis, eczema & acne, no topical cream will help if you don’t clean your colon + cease consumption of yeast, sugar, wheat & dairy, then take some kick ass probiotics. Herring’s Law of Cure states “A person’s disease disappears from the top to the bottom, from the inside to the out, from the greater organs to the lesser organs and in the reverse order to which it originated“. i.e. if you were born with a weak colon & were vaccinated as a child - it’s not unusual to find that the additional stress in your body may manifest as asthma, tonsillitis, skin complaints or worse.

Increasingly I’m working with people with very severe cases of psoriasis - a head to toe ‘wallpaper‘ of inflamed stress: some have suffered pain, discomfort & embarrassment their whole lives; most have tried all the steroids, summers in the Dead Sea (short lived results) & other medications. Usually no one has ever mentioned diet to them. How you survive 9 months of pregnancy when your belly is covered with weeping scabs I have no idea? It doesn’t need to be that way. Please tell medical doctors when you have success with non-prescription methods - even if they don’t seem interested, it may just sow a seed..

 

NYC in the news again! More of Gil’s protégés - Mike & Donna of Gravity East are having the best guests ever on Vitality Radio - The Monarch talks colonics & Amy Rachelle - well, her interview made me feel kinda shabby - Amazing work she is doing at I Am Transformation..

 

dyscalculia protaxtinating

Sitting here struggling with digits [brain freeze] & procrastinating my taxes I’m soaking up & LOVING Bunny Berry - laughing out loud & relishing her hilarious breath-of-freshair kookiness. Winks to my favourite cheerleader, Audry for the nod xox

Update: It’s the following morning. I’m watching Bunny Berry’s videos - in order. There must be some Virgo in me somewhere? I will NOT skip to the end… Hey, I don’t expect anyone else to do this - number crunching aversion = extreme diversionary tactics. So here are a few which are essential viewing: Day Twenty: Day Twenty Two: Day Thirty Two

 

Revere..

Check out Tom DeVito of Release talking colonics with Mary Rambin. Tom & I were Gil’s 1st two apprentices back in the day.. I’m so lucky to be joining Kim, Stewart & Gabrielle at Love Your Liver again this year: 5 days with no phone/email - unlimited hot springs, Arizona light & Eden Love. 

I am now a Reverend. Seemed like a good idea at the time…

Tickled Pink

I’ve watched every single video by John Halcyon Styn in the last week. Quite why he has SO captivated me I’m not sure, but tickle me pink he does & now that I’m saturated, my stalking is officially over.. Shelbel had us round for cake & pink & more yesterday. It was beautiful ❤ Gela blogged about this splendid raw-global list from John McCabe - nice work! Franky G is living in the woods & he is using The Shit Box - something I surely should have known about.. x

          

 

Down. or Down

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to upload this video - so go to Uncle John’s site & watch How Do You Get Down. He makes me laugh: Life Student

 

Suki et Al et PDF

I had a lovely surprise email from Oscar at Suki-Tea, who came across me thanks to a random Google Alert. My Tea connoisseurship (addiction/obsession) has made me a new friend & there is some Tea Love in the AirMail for me. Added to which, they sell a TeaPot with my name on it!!; Sukie makes lovely books, tea towels and cushions; Suki Pure makes fab Lip Butter which I’m still loving..

Sarah Scott is the new Chavutti girl in town - also trained by Helen, she is practicing in Finsbury Park; Gina Laverde @ Live Consciously - on Autism - a must read; anygirl who writes *Strong Opinion Warning* gets to join the ranks of Shea, Lil Gir | Big Voice & other such feisty bloggers - Sarah Parker is on RSS!; there’s a gorgeous gathering on the beach of BrightOn on Saturday; Jont got Oranged, and he’s Unlitting again this Friday; I’ve discovered the joys of PDFs - so my Client Form is now down-loadable & my Healthy Eating form too, which I’m told has already been copied many times & handed out to friends [as well as quickly lost or used as dog poop scoop]… Smooches ✘

Vicarious: I’m taking a break from London for a while - August 18th & 19th are my last 2 days working with colonics this summer, so catch me while you can. I’m looking for someone amazing to entrust with your beautiful colons - more about that when it’s settled. You’ll be able to share my USA journey to Raw Spirit Festival, Eden Hot Springs & beyond in various ways - more coming very soon. So I’m packing, throwing, clearing & releasing -  amazing how much crap we hold onto (ha), how intoxicating it is to be free of it - deliriously drunk with the idea of Freedom I am. I do love quitting & leaving - scary excited freaky exhausted/exhilarated. There’s a fair bit of packing/moving going around London this week! It’s not the 1st time I’ve cleared out - who knows where this will lead me..

Health Food Junkies is being repeated on More4 on Monday 7th July @ 8.30pm. 1 year after filming I wonder how it’s aged; Liquid Salted Caramels by Artisan du Chocolat are the best non-raw chocolate creation Ever. [A very cheeky discovery - parent's birthday season = usually naughty. Pud & I have also ordered Dedicakeshun AND Quantum - I'll be needing to dust off that yoga mat]; Miss Magic has a new blog - A Good Look; I’m playing around with Etherium Gold, Pink & Red a fair bit this week; The divine Raw Divas are collecting simple recipes from Divas from around the world - they asked me to be involved (at last I found myself in the kitchen with a measuring spoon pinning down quantities!) - check them out; I’m plunging into an Immersion Day with Dr Voice soon - very much looking forward to playing with a new part of my body; the increasingly radiant & creative Claire has been doing something kinda similar with Tomatis Listening Therapy - her results speak loud and clear; does anyone find that yerba maté tea gets cold really quickly - that green tea stays hotter longer? Or is it me?; Cephalopoda heaven - Deadworry @ Etsy; after a plumbing-related shout out to her GI2MR friends I had a reading from Althea. I’m sure not how her plumbing is faring, but her reading was beautiful. She/they said:

“I see a cage around you. This is oxymoronic to me because your energy screams “I’M FREE!” But when a woman is properly cocooned in a relationship where she feels free to be herself, she really flies. And that is what I see happening. The cage comes down, and Suki flies out and your already creative self becomes 200 times more creative”

Bring on the creativity! Interesting - our ideas v our oxumōros. The very word oxymoronic will have me giggling all day.. ✘

8 sPin Galling

My lucky much loved Liver/Gallbladder had another yummy flush on the Summer Solstice down in the green rain-soaked fields & sun-dappled woods of Hampshire, 1 full Moon after breaking my 84 day juice feast (no moaning, but) - still a tough rebalancing act. Both Matt & Philip will be writing more about this soon. Physically the flushing is getting easier & easier: I slept deeply for at least an hour, aware of the music playing and my liver chugging like a train, whilst I dreamt that I wanted to go for a thigh stretching walk - I’d had enough of lying around all summer - it’s easy to forget how much work your body is doing if you’re not feeling queasy. It was georgous to have my newly raw sister George, join me on her 2nd flush (who is in serious trouble for getting me hooked on Studio 60). I remain unconvinced about Epsom salts. Yes, they are cheap & turn your insides to liquid, but both of us found ourselves with colon discomfort the day afterwards - blocked up & bloated - if I crave excess food I always know something’s up. And we had no better results than when using colosan. Thank you Jaya Love for your support ∞

While physically easier - emotionally I went into a little spin. Warning: Avoid downloading the results of your spin onto anyone until the flush is over with! I have a beautiful friend overseas who was on the same planet as I this weekend - she spun me out of my over-thinking head right into my heart. How much do we love this cyber world? How strange & delicious that we can affect & be affected so deeply from afar ❤

I’m guessing I’ve had approximately 349 periods in this lifetime. This month was my 2nd pain and medication free period since I was 11 years old (the only pain-free time was 8 yrs ago)! Whether due to liver flushing, raw foods, juice feasting or expanding my consciousness in my abdomen (light, fire, creativity & a vortex kinda thing) - at last something worked THANK YOU!!! ✘

ps. new Tshirts coming & taking orders soon

pps. During my over-zealous attempts to consolidate my iDisk & hard drives during my full moon 7th liver flush I lost ALL my photographs from the last 2 years. all of them. What’s that about then? What is gone is gone..
