Raw Recovery

These words came to me out of nowhere. Simply just to say that raw foods can help us recover our bodies. As I used to weigh 247lbs after the birth of my second son, and then lost about 100lbs after my Angels guided me to become a raw foodist, I have learned a lot about food since 2007. Raw foods are not the only way to lose weight, but they are a great way to feel better. Wellness coaches can take various approaches with their clients. One of my strengths, since I've been fat before....and I can say fat because I was fat...haha...is that I have learned to focus on love and feeling good, not necessarily eating nothing and restricting a diet to achieve a goal weight. I never had a goal weight and I still don't. I judge everything I do by how I feel. Part of the gift of being able to offer intuitive readings is that I can guide others with answers for what they need to have more energy, not necessarily to lose weight, though clearly we all know that losing weight is a way to feel more energized. Ultimately, going raw led to so much increased energy that I had to start running. Even today, as I chug my chocolate spinach smoothie, I notice I experience more energy at times then I can manage. Running and working out is one of the only ways to keep this balanced. It's now quite bizarre to know that I need to run two hours a day to keep my energy balanced. I was never a runner. I began putting on weight at age 14, and by age 28 was having chest pains and gall bladder pains. My Angels clearly stepped in when it was most needed. The reasons behind the weight gain would amount to an autobiography, so in the interest of saving you time as the reader, let me say that I would like to share with you that part of my life purpose is to explain to others how I healed myself on various levels including losing 100+lbs. The weight loss was an outer reflection of the inner purification that took place and this process continues.

If you are tired, overweight, depressed, unhappy with life, raw foods can perhaps be a beginning point to your transformation. I recommend following your guidance to see how your Angels best want you to proceed. 100% raw food is a quick way to make a complete shift, but it is not for everyone. That being said, it is much simpler than in sounds. It's important to note though how attached to foods and smells we are though. Can you imagine being a Raw Vegan for the first time and stepping into Whole Foods the week before Thanksgiving. There were and still are certain times where being raw is challenging. That said, as I am typing this right now, I notice that I am craving Kale Chips, a relatively simple and extremely healthy crunchy salty raw snack food. One of my favorites is a bowl of guacamole with kale chips. Mind you, I didn't lose weight eating these two foods, in fact, I maintained weight eating them, but for beginners starting with not so much fat is smart.

Food is a huge part of our lives. For some, it's too big of a part. I share this only to say that I understand the nature of food issues and it's odd even saying this as I am having visions of children starving in various parts of the world while most of us over-indulge and complain of "food issues." Life can be quite comical, can't it?

Being Well

Wellness is a topic which we are all fairly interested in and there are many ways to achieve it. I have been exploring getting well since I was 22 when I began to study yoga. From there, I learned meditation, reiki, ayurveda, angel therapy, home birthing, pranic healing, raw vegan food preparation, marathon running, and so much more in between. The past 10 years have been filled with self-healing. After having two kids and losing one hundred pounds, moving from NY to CA and getting divorced, life looks nothing like it did 10 years ago. Wellness for me has been a complete personal overhaul. I was unwell much of my life. From being abused to self-abuse, as I journeyed to many teachers and "healers," I learned to become more well. Wellness is not an end, it's a path. The more well we become, the more we do to keep it. It's like when you plateau as an athlete. The more you purify your body, the more you keep purifying your body. You go from eliminating cheese to drinking green juice. There's a progression and a process.

There have been many miracles on my journey, special people, my children...divine interventions and grace seem to always step in when I need it. Archangel Ariel always said that my vibration will affect my manifesting or creative abilities. So for example, when I am dull, heavy and depressed, I don't manifest much. When I lighten up with some green juice, running and yoga, I attract so much more into my life. In between those poles of depression and joy, are moments of intense emotions which are part of my personality as well as part of the cleansing process. Truthful emotional release is hard for many people. I'm lucky that this has been something I do with great ease, probably to a fault. That said, as I share this personal information, and I do so that more of us can get "real" with what is UNWELL in our lives, going into these emotions can be done more easily than you think. Most are afraid of it, it's an uncomfortable place. Thank God we have books and meditation classes to get us through it all.

As we journey towards wellness, at our own pace, I will share this tip: Do pace yourselves. This life is a marathon. Focus on feeling good, not being an addict, but feeling good doing what makes you well-er and well-er.

More wellness to come....

What is the DEER about anyway?

On my run/walk/meander this afternoon, I saw deer after deer and finally saw 6 deer together in one area. I come across them often on this trail, and aside from their obvious charm and beauty I am compelled to write about deer energy and medicine, from a different perspective than just observing that they're pretty animals.

Many of us dabble with animal medicine and we note that deer medicine is about sweetness and gentleness.

There was much behavior to observe today: Eating and grazing on greens, twitching ears and tails, walking and lying down, stopping and staring, nibbling and resting, etc. Deer must be one of the most peaceful animals if you stop to watch them. The only animal I could think of that would be as harmless is a mouse. But isn't it amazing to see a larger animal that is so peaceful? And then I think of dolphins too. The deer is serene, they give nothing but peaceful and calm energy, perhaps even timid when threatened, but mostly, they are just gentle creatures who do little but graze on greens and walk through the forest. What an example to follow?

The deer doesn't think or have too many concerns. Perhaps their habitat is lessening, and yet they may not of course "think" about this and the dangers of being so close to the freeway. The deer look unaffected and they are. They are unaffected by what is going on around them, they are able to walk, graze and rest with no disruption.

What if we all could do that? What if we could all co-exist with this much disarmingly peaceful behavior of quiet meandering and grazing? What if we stopped to stare at each other, without thinking, but just acknowledging the other's presence? What if we weren't too busy to move so slowly throughout the day? Simple, effortless, being, and nothing more. It's funny how much we can learn from animals, if we could take the time to walk outside more frequently.

Anyway, I wish us all a deer-like easy day of peace.

With love,

Light Talk; Straight Talk with Houman & Andria 1

Houman and Andria have both had a long term career with similar interests in Spiritual growth, travels, and hobbies. They have been sometimes classified under varying titles of the children of the new era, and varying spiritual phenomena with both them and their loved ones and associates surrounding them often. Quite often, phenomenas of "Light" surround them; thus, we have named this "Light Talk", and "Straight Talk", because both Houman and Andria like to cut to the chase and get past the hypes of the New Age "stuff" and the confusion of what Houman refers to as the "Las Vegas of Spiritualists," where people gamble much of their money and time, and instead forget about the true spiritual heroes around the world, who assist us all, all of the time, free of charge, and often in selfless manners. Such discussions will be amongst the subjects discussed here and more; like, why do people show so much interest in spiritual "junk food", "fast food", and not the real thing? Why don't people get with the program and quit buying all these dime and a dozen spiritual "best-sellers", which get old shortly after they are printed? Why are all the real avatars, heroes, and children of today still hiding? Who are they hiding from, etc. etc... Better yet, why is the rest of the world not recognizing those heroes that are very well known, with responses like, "How come I didn't hear of this sooner"? And there are also the affirmations of "Light" that will be stressed, and not only the negation or "clean up" that is required. We shall see! Here Houman has chosen the role of assisting and interviewing Andria in her role and purpose as a mother of two young boys, a practitioner of numerous spiritual healing arts, school teacher, doula, etc...

Houman: What is the focus or the most significant highlight of your work? Name three...

Andria: 1- Children; 2- Working with Angels and studying the experiential aspects of varying angelic phenomena, and 3- Natural Wellness, including nutrition and detoxification.

H: ... which is something many females seem concerned, and maybe sometimes obsessed with, I mean "nutrition". Okay so, which of these do you want to start with?

A: Angels.

H: Go on.

A: What would you like to know? Does the audience have a question?

H: Most mothers are not consciously aware of Angels around their kids. I know you are, and you often see and talk about this subject. Lets start there, because this will tie together all the three highlighted points that have been listed from the start of this dialogue.

A: Angels are a naturally friendly way to connect with Spirit. Angels are a non-threatening aspect of spirituality. People of all religions are comfortable with Angels as a concept; whereas, some of the heavier spiritual topics, or the use of the term "God", may scare people as a religious term. Angels are non-denominational lighter and a simpler idea to most people. Most people's third-eyes are not open; therefore, they are not able to see the Angels around their children. So one aspect of my work is to help adults heal and open their third-eyes. Often diet and exercise are related to the openness of the third-eye.

H: I know you went through drastic measures of changing your diet and weight, what were the most liberating or positive changes as a result? Lets start with the physical changes.

A: I lost a hundred pounds, my psychic abilities opened more fully, and became a more a awakened mother. And I was better able to help others. Also did more fun things and hobbies, like running the Napa Marathon in the rain... play more actively with my kids etc.

H: There is often visible sights and sightings of lights around you, both in photos captured on Camera, and while you work with others. Literally "lights", as in Orbs, and what I call Phantoms, and other such phenomena... I know that you often recognize gifted children and individuals very quickly and easily. I know you are also able to not only recognize, but more fully embrace their wholeness, which is very important. How did these psychological changes and abilities begin for you?

A: My entire life as early as I can remember, I have been able to scan an entire person instantly and have glimpses of their whole person. And it is not just seeing, but knowing and feeling, which is more important and in-depth. I used to think I was judging people, but gradually realized much of what I received was information about others without really wanting to necessarily. Lately, in the past few years, I am also able to see specific colors, images, or presences with people.
