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.

Raw Blueberry Pie

My kids love this pie...Sam, my four year old gobbles it up. I made it today in less than 10 minutes, stuck it in the freezer for about an hour, ready to eat, that was at 11am, it's 5pm and the pie is gone!! Healthy, great for healing diabetes, balancing blood sugar and getting lots of antioxidants and vitamin c, plus a little protein in the crust!

This is one of the easiest raw pies to make.

1/2 to one whole cup of raw cashews ( I use nut free crust recipes too, you can always grind dates and dried coconut to form a crust)
2T coconut oil
1-2T raw agave nectar

Grind cashews unsoaked in food processor until a powder-like substance is made. Add coconut oil and agave. Process together till combined, and press into pie pan, place in freezer for 5-10min.

2 bags of raw organic blueberries (frozen). Fresh works if available 4C total, but when using frozen, I rinse them in cold water and let them sit for a minute draining them and letting them defrost a bit.
1 banana
1-2T raw agave
Optional: cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut oil, pro-biotics, a handful of strawberries

Mix in food processor till smoothe, pour over pie crust. Place in freezer for an hour till firm, serve or let defrost a few minutes and then serve.

Or, place in the refrigerator for about 3 hours to set. The banana helps it firm up. If you use too much of other fruits, it may not firm up as well, but feel free to experiment.

Raw desserts are so nutritious, they're perfectly acceptable to eat for any meal of the day, or to eat a lot of. For my boys who are quite finicky about whole raw foods, sometimes these blended pies are the best way to get them to eat it, and clearly, Sam gets whatever his body needs in terms of protein, fats, and nutrients from this pie. Now if I can only get him to eat some fresh leafy greens....that's a whole other issue. :-)

With love,
Andria

Spicy green curry soup

Wowsers, so I needed something warm tonight...when it gets cold and damp (acupuncturists can't stand raw foodists LOL). So here's a soup to warm you up and if you have a Vita-Mix, let it run for a minute or two, your soup will be warm, and still raw.

Meat of 1 thai coconut
1 cup carrots chopped
handful of parsley
1 jalepeno
1 clove garlic
dash of olive oil
dash of raw agave nectar
dash of salt
dash or a few dashes of nama shoyu
as much curry spice as you wish

For non raw foodies, I think this soup would be great if it was cooked too. But for raw folks, this is a good one, very spicy and heating for this cool weather and for all the purification that needs to continue.

With love,
Andria

Oh my raw hummus!

Ok, I'm sure I will improve on this raw hummus, but either I'm really hungry tonight or this is way good.

Reminder: I don't measure... :-)

1C chickpeas soak in water for 24 hrs. Rinse 2x/day. Let sit covered in glass container for 2 days, rinse every 12 hours.

****Note: This is a raw recipe, but I heard you have you soak the chickpeas in hot water, boil a pot of water, and turn it off, add chickpeas for one minute, remove and rinse with cold water, then mix with the rest of the ingredients. If you don't do this, the hummus tastes bad. Now, this is obviously then not a 100% raw recipe...if any raw foodies know a better version, do share.

3 cloves garlic ( I love garlic )
juice 2-3 lemons
4T Olive Oil
(seasoning...I used curry this time, but not a lot) cumin or paprika works
4T fresh parsley
water...enough to get it to blend until smoothe

Add all to a Vita Mix...(food processor works), I had to stir with a spoon a lot, stop, stir, mix...etc.

Slice some celery and carrot sticks or get some raw crackers and eat away.

Fresh From the Kitchen - Raw Recipes

This is going to be an ongoing thread where I post recipes I just made in my kitchen that taste good to me. Please be aware I don't measure, I recommend tasting as you go along.

These are raw food only recipes.

I was just inspired to make a chocolate pudding, and I just use what I have.

In a Vita-Mix (yes, a good blender works best, I could have hand creamed this, but the consistency would not be as smoothe)

1-2T raw cacao powder
1 avocado
4 minneola-tangelo segements and a few squeezes extra of juice
pinch of salt
1T raw honey
1T raw agave nectar

I would add a little extra honey next time, or I could add it now and just stir it in, maybe it could be more chocolately too, I love rich chocolate.

Food love and hugs,

Sri Ramana Maharshi

From Ramana's Ashram in Arunachala, India: A message

Gods Grace is Important.A Guru need not to be in a Human Form. First A Man realizes that he is Very Smalland Identifies that God is there to Control this Universe with His Super Power. Then he Prays to God and do Service in the Name of God. When he reaches Eligibility Stage, God will come in the form of Guru to Guide Him. Know that God is within You. The Purpose of Guru's Coming is to guide You to Immerse You into Identifying God within You. With Guru's Grace only Self-realization is Possible - It is the Direct Method.Lectures, Preachings , Meditation - are Indirect Methods.In reality Guru's Grace is within You, If with any Method You can Immerse your Mind in Atma, Grace will flow out like fountain.God, Grace and Atma All are One.Unnecessary discussions, Arguments are like trying to Shave our Shadow In Mirror.- Sri Ramana Maharshi.
