Healing Your Body With Kombucha

2010-05-24T19:23:00.000-07:00

About 4 years ago at the beginning stage of my cocoon experience a Natural Doctor gave me my first bottle of Kombucha. He said it would help heal my sick blood. Afterwards I began to purchase it at the health food store. It took a minute to get adjusted to the pungent favor, but now I love the taste, Ginger is my favorite favor. I like how it makes me feel. Kombucha gives you a natural buzz and the sparkling fizz is very refreshing.

The Kombucha Culture, sometimes mistakenly referred to as a mushroom, is a living, symbiotic, probiotic colony of yeast and bacteria (the friendly type. This superfood beverage contains dozens of health promoting elements. The numerous improvements in overall health may include: increased energy, sharpened eyesight, tightened & toned skin, eczema & psoriasis relief, reduced menstrual cramps, better sleep, easier digestion, controlled candida overgrowth, normalized blood pressure, easier post work-out recovery, reduced acid reflux & joint pain, a feeling of calm, increased sex drive, helps to prevent bladder infections, healthier hair, detoxifying the body and shrinking boils.

Aside from it’s many health benefits, Kombucha is an inexpensive way to help to re-colonize Bifid bacterium in the colon where they produce both acetic and lactic acids. This helps normalize intestinal flora and restricts or prohibits the growth of putrefactive bacteria and potential pathogens such as Candida Albicans. The balance of intestinal flora is affected by many factors: age, sex, diet, stress, exogenous microorganisms, surgeries, immune disorders, antibiotic therapy, and upper GI disorders. Though you can purchase ready to drink Kombucha Tea by the bottle at the health food store in several refreshing flavors, a cost effective alternative is to make it yourself. Simply combine the Kombucha culture, with a mixture of black tea, and sugar. The ingredients must be allowed to "ferment", usually for 10 days. If you’d like to join the millions of people who use Kombucha daily, as a refreshing beverage and a useful health care supplement purchase a starter kit at http://kombubha.org. The 2 cultures included in your kit will reproduce on and on for you.
Please leave me your comments, I love hearing from you.

Transformed By The Renewing of The Heart

2010-04-26T05:58:00.000-07:00

Hello family, happy Monday. This post is close to my heart. Not only because it is a teaching on heart issues, but because I originally wrote it for myself. I was going through extreme warfare in my marriage. God lead me to the following scriptures which I used as a two headed sword to win the war and save my beautiful marriage.
You can use the same scriptures to win any battle that deals with conflict, anger or the extreme frustration someone has caused you to feel. Remember we do not fight against flesh and blood, but rather demon spirits that are working through others. We do not want to vibrate with conflict and discord by retaliating with negative words, feelings and action... no no. The power is in the spirit not the flesh. And the power is LOVE.
Meditate on these scriptures day and night. They will uproot bitterness and unforgiveness. God sees our heart, ("The heart of man is the candle (light) of God") which is why we must come to Him with a forgiving heart, and until we do, we will not see a breakthrough. Please understand that there will be no change until you change your heart. Changing your words will help change your heart and vice-a-versa because "Out of the abundance the heart the mouth speaketh."

I Corinthians 13:1-10 "Though I speak with the tongues of men and angels, but have not love I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understanding all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I can remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And thought I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and give my body to be burned it profits me nothing. Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up. Does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, Is Not Provoked, Thinks No Evil. Does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; Love bears all things believes all things, hopes all things endures all things. LOVE NEVER FAILS."

II Corinthians 4:13-14 "And since we have the same spirit of faith according to what is written, I believed and therefore I spoke,” we believe and therefore we speak, Knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus."

II Corinthians 4:17-18 "For our light affections, which is but just for a moment, is working for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of Glory, while we do not look at things that are seen, but at the things which are no seen. For the things which are seen are temporary, but the things that were not seen are eternal."

Psalms 55:17-18 "Evening and morning and at noon I will pray, and cry aloud, and my God will shall hear my voice. He has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, for there were many against me."

Psalms 56:4 "In God I have put my trust; I will not fear. What can man,(Satan’s devices) do to me?"

Romans 15:5-6 /13 "Now may the God of patience and comfort grant you to be like minded toward one another, according to Christ Jesus. That you may with one mind and one mouth glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 13 Now may the God of hope will you with all the joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit."

I Corinthians 7:3/5 "Let the husband render to his wife the affection due to her, and likewise also the wife to her husband. 5 Do not deprive one another except with consent for time, that you may give yourselves to fasting and praying; and come together again so that Satan does not tempt you for lack of self-control."

Romans 12:10-14/ 17-21 "Be kindly affectionate to one another, in honor giving preference to one another; Not lagging in diligence, fervent in spirit serving the Lord. Rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer; Distributing to the needs of the saints, given to hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 17 Repay no one evil for evil. As much as depends on you , live peaceably with all men. Beloved, DO NOT AVENGE YOURSELVES, for it is written “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay”. says the Lord. Therefore if your enemy hungers, feed him; if he thirsts, give him a drink; for so doing you will heap coals on his head.” DO NOT become over come by evil but over come evil with good."

Finally my sisters and brothers remember that hurting people hurt people. Let God heal your hurt so that you may show love and compassion to those who have hurt you. And soon you will find that you don't hurt as easily and that others will be more loving, at least to you. With faith you can literally LOVE your way out of any relationship problem. In the mean time remember Psalms 55:22... "Cast your burdens on the Lord, and He Shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved." And I Corinthians 10:13/24 "No temptation or test has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able , but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it. 24 Let no one seek his own but each other’s well-being."

With Much Love,
Carmen

Super Healthy Sugar Alternatives (STEVIA)

2010-03-23T14:22:00.000-07:00

Have you discovered that sugar is poison yet? If not it's time to wise up. I won't take the time to explain all the reasons why it is right now, because I have so much to say about Stevia Rebaudiana, the “sweet leaf” from Paraguay.

Stevia is the healthiest alternative to sugar and the perfect artificial sweetener replacement. For hundreds of years the Native American Indians of Paraguay have been sweetening their mate-tea with stevia, and use the leaves of this plant (similar to the peppermint) as a healing herb for diabetes, high blood pressure, and skin problems. They named stevia “the sweet bliss,” because it also harmonizes the emotions, and is great for the mood. The stevia leave is already 10 to 20 times as sweet as sugar, however in powder form it is 300 times sweeter than sugar. I find it best to use 1 part stevia to 1 part agave in drinks until you have acquired the somewhat bitter taste. Stevia powders can also be used with agave to replace sugar in recipes. As amazing as it is, stevia has zero calories, zero carbohydrates, zero glycemic index and zero side affects. Making it the perfect alternative to sugar and sweeteners for everyone including people who are watching their weight.

HEALTH BENNIES: Stevia has many health advantages and even healing effects! It is still used today in South America, not only in teas and recipes, but also prescribed and administered as a tonic, to improve digestion, harmonize blood pressure, overcome fatigue and tiredness, loose weight, get rid of fungus, and normalize the blood sugar levels of diabetics. Stevia also represents a healthy and side effect free sweetener for diabetics, and is known in Brazil as a healing food for this disease. Clinical studies have shown that stevia is able to improve the glucose tolerance and lower blood sugar levels. Diabetics already notice more energy and enthusiasm with half a teaspoon of stevia per day. Stevia is also recommended in candida cases, because it does not feed the fungus like other sweeteners do, and has instead an anti-bacterial and anti-fungal effect, which helps control the growth of the fungus. Stevia helps teeth problems, and is traditionally used in South America against bleeding gum, cavities, and inflamed gums. Modern scientists have acknowledged the anti-bacterial properties of stevia, which are probably related to its high vitamin C and chlorophyll content, and its ability to slow down the growth of undesired bacteria in the mouth. Someone suffering from cavities or other teeth problems could snack on stevia leaves, chewing them between the meals.
Because it is quite easy to propagate we can grow stevia plants on windowsills, balconies, in gardens, and always have a few leaves to chew on when a sugar craving overcomes us.

SKIN, HAIR & BEAUTY: Stevia is also used to keep the skin and hair young and beautiful. It is traditionally used in South America to heal wounds, treat eczema, acne, dandruff, and other skin conditions. Apparently, the enzymes and chlorophyll are responsible for this healing effect on the skin. There are many ways we can use stevia is also a beauty herb. It is said to be effective against hair problems such as dandruff, falling hair, gray hair, and dull hair. Add some green stevia powder to the shampoo during the last washing and let it soak in a little. Another hair treatment is two tablespoons of olive oil mixed with two tablespoons of green stevia powder. Let it sit in your moist hair for one hour, cover your head with a towel, and thereafter wash thoroughly with a mild shampoo.
Due to the control of artificial sweeteners companies, stevia products have been banned from most European countries (isn't the scary?). In Canada and America, stevia powder and extracts can just recently be found in some supermarkets. They are usually sold as “nutritional supplements.” Your local health food store will be your best bet. Of couse you can always shop online.
1. Whole, dried leaves. I have not been able to find them at the health food store, but I have seen some online businesses that sell them. The alternative would be to grow stevia plants yourself.
2. Green powder. A powder made out of the dried leaves of stevia. Not too refined and can be used in recipes, nut milks, salad dressings, etc. It has a strong sweet taste and a licorice after taste. Great.
3. White powder. A very refined product, though the most popular form of stevia because it looks and works so much like sugar. It contains only the compound steviosid which makes stevia sweet. It does have a bit of an after-taste that you will some get use to. Stevia power can be used in herbal teas, raw lemonades, or any hot drinks. I use "NOW" French Vanilla Stevia Extract Packets for baking (with agave), and in my green smoothies.
4. Liquid stevia extract. A few drops are enough to sweeten a cup of tea. Can be carried along. I use "NOW" French Vanilla Stevia Extract.

Carmen

It's Good To Be Back!!

2010-03-07T07:03:00.000-08:00

Please forgive me for being away for so long. I myself don't like it when social-networking friends whom I've connected with is no longer connecting. You know you miss "visiting" with them. You miss being inspired by them. You miss their journey. You find yourself asking...Where are they? Are they alright? Will they ever return?

The thing is, there are times when we just need to "cancel all appointments" if-you-will and get with God for some clear direction. There are also times when life can pull you away from some of the things that really feed your soul if you're not careful. For me it was a combination of both. I got with God and His direction put me on a fast track and I haven't stop running. However; it's all about being balance, which I must admit I have a challenge with. I'm asking God to strengthen me in that area. Do you have any advise?

The Lord is preparing so many amazing things for my business, my ministry and my life. I don't really don't know where to begin. So I'll just keep posting until I catch you up. I also have some great recipes coming at ya, so stay tuned.

Please leave me a comment below to say hi. I promise I won't be gone so long again.

Miss you, love you.

Daily Prayer Of Alignment

2009-10-13T09:09:00.000-07:00

Being in a state of continuous vibrational alignment with God is essential for living a blessed life. This is a very basic concept; yet if we do not conceive it in our hearts, we will continue to live each day thinking, talking and feeling anyway but Godly. If we wish to live out the promises of God in our lives we must think, talk and feel as though the promises are already ours. I wrote this prayer for my book "Biblical Laws Of Attraction - 90 Day Dream Quest", it helps to keep me in alignment with God (Love) and my dreams. Remember we only can manifest that which we are in vibrational alignment with.

DAILY PRAYER OF ALIGNMENT
By Carmen Abercrombie

Father God I love you and I trust you. I trust you during good times and challenging times. I trust you no matter how adverse and discouraging things may appear, they are only shadows. I know that I cannot have both the blessing and the curse, therefore I choose to live moment by moment in vibrational alignment with you and your precious promises. I choose to think like you think for I have the mind of Christ. I choose to walk in Divine Love, for you are Love. You created me to be more than a conqueror. Like a soldier I have no choice but to stand firm by raising the vibration of my thoughts, emotions, words, tonality and actions until I am in complete alignment with the dreams and desires I’m believing for. Father your word says in Isaiah 43:18-19 to ‘Remember not the former things, neither to consider the things of old. Behold, for you are doing a new thing: now it has sprung forth; shall I not know it? You will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert for me.’ Therefore I turn downstream with the anointed one and His anointing in me (“Christ in me my hope of Glory”) in complete surrender, with consummate faith that His perfection is being made manifest in the function of my mind and body and in all of my affairs.
In Jesus Name - Amen

With Love, Carmen

Angel Power

2009-10-11T14:15:00.000-07:00

We know that though the promises of God have already been given to us, they are not automatically received. Even when we pray for them they do not usually manifest on this plane immediately. We must believe that because Jesus paid for every good and perfect gift, we have a blood-bought right to them. One sure way to increase the speed of the manifestation of these “gifts” is to unleash angelic reinforcements.

Angels are high frequency agents of God, created to protect us, comfort us and do our bidding. The reason why they 'hearken to the voice or word of God' is because God's word matches their vibrational frequency. The best way to get the attention of angels is to live a Godly or high vibrational life.

Even though we do not see the angels, it is good to remember that they are with us. They are near us, and they go before us making ways out of no way. They are always on the ready to see that God’s plans come to pass in our lives. Exodus 23:20 “Behold, I send an angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. Beware of him, and obey his voice, provoke him not, for he will not pardon your transgressions: for my name is in him.”
As supernatural children of God we can ask angels for help. In fact they are hovering about ready and willing to lend support. Psalms 34:7 “The angel of the Lord encampeth about them that fear him, and delivererth them.” Psalms 103:20 - 21 “Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. Bless be the Lord, all of his hosts (angels); ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure”

Pray this prayer to release angel power, as a declaration of your resolve.

Ministering angels created to minister to those of the household of faith, I bid you to go forth and set things up for me in perfect way. Touch the hearts of those who will work on my behalf. Set up favorable opportunities for me today. I am a child of the most high God, a descendant of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I am an heir according to the promises of God. The word says that the Lord takes pleasure in my prosperity, therefore I command you to hearken to the voice of the word of the Lord and bring to me that which belongs to me by divine right, in perfect way. I thank you angels for you love and support.
Now Proclaim: I have It now! I claim it now! My name is on it! Jesus paid for it, and I give thanks for it in Jesus' name!

Remember family, that you are never alone; you have unseen reinforcements and that you are powerfully protected. Feel it! Believe it!
Have a beautiful week.
Love, Carmen

Aunt Dot's Detox Tonic

2009-09-25T13:46:00.000-07:00

Praise God I don't normally catch colds or flu's so I never considered anything like that when I began feeling out of sorts recently. I'd been out more this month than I had for quite some time. I attended a glorious wedding, stayed in a hotel out of town for a weekend, and visited family and friends. I've come a long way from the days of being sick and home bound. I know now that by His stripes I will forever be healed. I am a walking miracle. Anyway my husband reminded me that I'd been eating outside of my boundaries lately. I guess between that and the weather change I caught a little bug. Once I finally put two and two together I knew it was time for a Detox Tea Flush. So I began preparing my Aunt Dot's Detox Tonic. I'm happy to say I'm back to feeling good again.
This detox tonic is like the "lemonade diet" tea on steroids. It's great in the fall and winter, because it rids the body of mucus naturally. It also curbs the appetite, is very nourishing to the cells, and it tastes fabulicious! Enjoy 2 to 3 times per day to flush-out any bug or in place of meals during a weight loss detox. Simple and natural - life is good!

AUNT DOT'S DETOX TONIC
[Add the following to a large cup of pure hot water]
½ Fresh Squeezed Organic Lemon
Dash of Cayenne Pepper
½ Teaspoon Grated Ginger (optional)
1 to 2 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar (Organic Unpasteurized)
Agave Nectar or Grade B Organic Maple Syrup (to taste)

To your health! Carmen

Attracting Hundred Dollar Bills

2009-09-22T14:19:00.000-07:00

Today is the premiere of my new Manifestation Meditation Video for believers "Attracting Hundred Dollar Bills". It's all about bringing more Benjamins into your life. Pastor Todd who preached at the Benny Hinn service we attended last week said "There's something about hundred dollar bills". I agree. I've learned several years ago that there are many more hundred dollar bills in circulation than there are dollar bills. Most would find that hard to believe, which may be why so many of us try to hold on so tightly to them.

It's time that we as believers begin to vibrate with the abundance that is there waiting for us in the spirit realm. When people ask me what exactly are the Biblical Laws of Attraction, I say it's simply vibrating with the giver (God/Jesus) and the gift (your desires). You cannot think, talk & feel lack and attract wealth.

When Dr.Leroy Thompson brought the "Money Cometh" teaching to the body of Christ it really opened my eyes to the importance of being a money master for the Kingdom of God's business. Abundance is our birth right. Jesus said "I have come so that you may have life and have it more abundantly (to the full and overflowing)". I pray that this video will help you to align with all that belongs to you by divine right. This will be the first of a complete series of Manifestation Meditation Videos, so stay tuned.

With much love, Carmen

Sea Vegetables – Sea vegetables, better known as seaweeds, are powerful gifts from nature. Some of the most popular include nori, hijiki, arame, kelp or kombu, dulse, and wakame. Abundant in minerals such as iodine, iron, trace elements and Vitamins B1, B2, B12, K. Traditional Asian Medicine has long valued the use of sea vegetables to treat a variety of illnesses. Each are a vegetable source of protein and are beneficial for a variety of functions including skeletal health, regular heart beat, blood pressure, nerve health, thyroid, and metabolism. Sea vegetables contain alginic acid, a powerful detoxifier that removes heavy metals and radioactive elements from the body.

Spirulina – An algae that grows in warm climates. Spirulina is a complete protein with anti-cancer and anti-viral properties. Fights against allergic reactions and is a natural histamine blocker. 62% of it contents are amino acids. Has as much iron as beef and is rich in minerals vitamin E.

Wheatgrass Juice – This superfood contains the entire range of vitamins, minerals, enzymes and nutrients that your body requires. Whereas the more popular form of wheat consumed by millions is found in processed, lifeless, enzyme-less breads, bagels, donuts, pizza, cakes and cookies. Though we are habitually drawn to these foods they are totally void of health-giving properties and play a major role in the sickness of this country. Although doctors, dietitians, and scientists have known of the miraculous benefits of wheatgrass and chlorophyll for sometime, they for some reason have chosen to keep it to themselves. Drinking wheatgrass juice will strengthen the immune system to fight deadly microbes and cures radiation sickness. It works wonders for curing acne, eczema and psoriasis, and can even removes scars after it has been ingested for seven to eight months. Helps prevent tooth decay and can relieve toothaches when held in the mouth for 5 minutes. Wheatgrass enemas are great for healing and detoxifying the colon walls while healing and cleanse the internal organs. After an enema, wait 20 minutes, then implant 4 ounces of wheatgrass juice and retain for 20 minutes. Like all other sprouts and seeds, wheat berries were created by God as a way to release the life force and innate healing power hidden within us. It only takes minutes to digest wheatgrass juice and uses up very little body energy. When we release their energy into our body it regenerates into the strong, beautiful and healthy temples God originally created. It takes only 10 to 14 days to grow grass.

Isn't this stuff awesome? This is my offering of some of many lifesaving, healing, and rejuvenating super nutritious food available to us here and now. Be proactive, take advantage of this knowledge and join the ranks of the superbeings of this world.

Don't forget to leave a comment, or any question you may have for me here. To participant in my upcoming Weekly Give-Aways JOIN MY BLOG below right.

Live well,

Green Food Powder - Chlorophyll is what makes plants green, it is the basis of all plant life. The chlorophyll in plants is almost identical to the hemoglobin molecule in our blood. Chlorophyll is anti-bacterial and arrest growth and development of unfriendly bacteria. Green foods are good for rebuilding our blood. In fact, it may sound crazy but we can actually receive a blood transfusion from green plant based foods (now don't try this at home kids). Green foods are rich in calcium, iron, oxygen, magnesium and a variety of amino acids. Purchase a Green Food Powder that is organic. I will be adding mine to green smoothies everyday (as soon as my Montel Williams super juicing machine thing finally comes). www.AlisaCohen.com has a 100% organic superfood powder that include Spirulina, Chlorella, Barley Grass Juice, Wheat Grass Juice, Icelandic Kelp & Nova Scotia Dulse, Probiotics, Enzymes and much more.

Quinoa – Found in Peru, quinoa was called the mother of all grains by the Incas. A complete protein. I eat it as a hot cereal, and as a rice and couscous replacement. Quinoa was one of three staple foods including corn and potatoes of the Inca civilization. Contains more calcium than milk and has 8 essential fatty acids. This high protein complex helps carbs breakdown slowly helping to keep blood sugar levels steady.

Hemp Protein Powder - A gluten free vegan protein highly digestible form for protein. The human body needs a constant supply to repair and build living tissue. It is a must for the production of hormones, blood hemoglobin, antibodies and new muscle tissue. In order to maintain existing cells one must replace lost protein. To gain new tissue you must consume more protein than what was lost. Adding 2 servings of protein powder to your diet daily improves digestive function, benefits the immune system, athletic performance, blood pressure, reduces liver damage and balances weight.

Blue/Green Algae – This sea vegetable that is higher in protein than any other food. It is 10 times higher than any animal product. Add to your green smoothies as well.

Flaxseeds – I love flaxseeds. They are very high in soluble fiber and healthy fats. Flaxseeds contain 25,00 mil of omega 3 fatty acids and 650 mil of omega 6 fatty acids. Flaxseeds are excellent for lowering cholesterol levels, as well as reducing high blood pressure and inflammation. Helps lower the risk of heart disease. The high amounts of vitamin E helps to keep the body lubricated. Whole flaxseed has a coating of fiber on the outside that is indigestible therefore soaking the seeds or grinding dry seeds in a coffee grinder or high-speed blender is required. Flaxseeds are low in calories and can be used as a nutritious, low fat replacement in baking. 3 Teaspoons of ground flaxseed will replace 1 tablespoon of butter or any fat in a recipe. 2 tablespoons of ground flax combined with 3 tablespoons of water will replace 1 egg. I like to just throw them into my raw and baked cookie dough for extra crunch and nutrition.

Goji Berry Juice* - This superfood is said to be quite possibly the most nutritionally dense food on earth. It has 10 times the antioxidants of blueberries. Drinking the juice daily is said to… help normalize blood pressure, support kidney & liver function, boost energy & stamina, alleviate anxiety & stress, prevent cancer, build healthy blood, muscles & bones, fight inflammation, improve memory & vision and strengthen the heart. Use the berries in homemade trail mixes and smoothies, but most importantly drink 2 to 4 ounces of juice daily. Though you will most likely notice a positive effect within days, it takes about six months of use it the juice to rebuild the body’s 10 trillion cells.Goji Gold Organic at Puritian.com is priced well and most importantly is organic. *Dried goji berries sold in health food stores are an awesome vitamin packed superfood that can be added to anything including homemade trail mixes.

Acai Berry Juice - Stops inflammation naturally. Acai is extremely high in essential fatty acids, vitamin E, C and antioxdiants. It’s almost a complete protein. A natural energy booster. Helps to control cholesterol.

Buckwheat - While many people think of buckwheat as a cereal grain, it is actually a fruit seed related to rhubarb and sorrel. Buckwheat is a suitable substitute for people who are sensitive to wheat or other grains that contain protein glutens. Its whole raw kernels are called groats. When roasted the grouts become what’s known as Kasha. Buckwheat contains high levels of antioxidants and almost 86 milligrams of magnesium in a one-cup serving. Magnesium relaxes blood vessels, improving blood flow and nutrient delivery while lowering blood pressure. In addition, because buckwheat is a good source of magnesium, it is also important to note that women who ate the most foods high in magnesium had a 24 percent lower risk of diabetes compared to women who ate the least. Buckwheat only contains healthy fats and lots of fiber making it great for lowering cholesterol supporting a healthy cardiovascular system and a healthy colon. Buckwheat groats has also been found to significantly lowered blood glucose and insulin responses. Eating a serving of whole grains, such as buckwheat, at least 6 times each week is an especially good idea for postmenopausal women with high cholesterol, high blood pressure or other signs of cardiovascular disease. Buckwheat can replace barley in soups, added to cake, cookie & pancakes recipes, can be served as an alternative to rice or made into porridge (a hot cereal). Buckwheat can be soaked and sprouted for living bread and is also ground into flour, available in either light or dark forms, with the darker variety being more nutritious. Buckwheat pasta is a delicious, gluten-free alternative to wheat pasta.

Cacao – (Raw Chocolate) Known as natures’ bliss. Yes this chocolate is really good for you. Because it’s has not been over processed and loaded with sugar and other toxic ingredients, cacao has over 1,200 active chemicals that make you feel good. Use the unsweetened power and bars in baking, healthy cocoas and smoothies.

As you may know I have been gone for awhile. Sometimes you just have to put blinders on and focus on that one thing that must be done. For me that one thing has been creating my new Wellness and Lifestyle Coaching Program. I've spent months doing much reseach, while following God's instructions for my ministry. I'm very excited to share with you this powerful post on True Superfoods, it is one of many to follow that will cover some of my amazing findings.

What you are about to read is information that will change your life forever. The government is not going to tell you the truth about superfoods, because if enough people began eating them the western medical arena would lose billions of dollars.

The human body engine thrives on fuel that supports its inherent ability to regenerate. You must eat an above average amount of organically grown, nutritionally dense food to build and repair your mind and body. The fastest way to get to health, and wellness is by eating a diet chockfull of superfoods. True superfoods are nature’s high-octane mind and body fuel. Many superfoods are ancient foods found in some of the most remote regions around the world. They have been treasured by the natives for their nutritional density and their life sustaining properties. True superfoods feed, nourish and heal the living body organism on a cellular level unlike any other foods or drugs, because of their high vibration. They carry information that God placed in them that alter our body chemistry, making us super-beings.

Americans have over taxed their body systems by eating far more food than they should. However, even with all of that eating, the reality is we as a nation are staving for nutrition. The problem is too much quantity and not enough quality. Raw organic superfoods have an abundance of all the vitamins, minerals, proteins, probiotic bacteria and enzymes our bodies need to heal, rebuild and soar.

True superfoods may appear to cost more initially but because they are so nutrient dense they allow you to eat mush less. In addition they are God’s natural alternative to costly vitamin and mineral supplements. A diet rich in superfoods is our best health insurance. We must flood our bodies with raw, organic superfoods to become the super-beings God created us to be. A super-being has a much easier time operating in the supernatural realm. They hear, see, touch and taste on a more intensified level. They remember more, do more, enjoy more and live more. Super-beings are healthy, sexy and strong. They glow with the light of divine love. Super-beings are happy, loving, giving and fearless. They use their God giving super powers to do what they were “called” to do and they do it for the good of all.

Please leave a comment or any question you may have for me. Oh yes, I'm going to begin weekly Give-Aways on this Blog and on Twitter so be sure to 'Follow'.

My Resurrection Day Miracle For You

2009-04-11T13:20:00.000-07:00

I'm skipping my Aromatic Bliss post today in honor of Resurrection Day tomorrow. I chose to soak in the presence of the Lord this weekend and it's feeling real good.
This morning I was invited to The Rhema Prayer Ministries (Sisters of The Heart - United In Prayer www.rhemapm.org) by my sister in Christ Juliette Quoquoi. The power of God is strong where these ladies gather. The first time I attended their Saturday prayer was last year. My friend Juliette insisted that I go for prayer. It was a miracle that I even made it. I was in extreme physical and emotional agony. I was home-bound at the time and had been unable to have clothes touch my skin. I'm so glad that I pressed on that day. Those ladies prayed for me until I got my breakthrough. It was a spiritual breakthrough at the time, but it was what I needed to make the shift from sick to well. I will be forever grateful to them.

Now my Resurrection Day miracle for you. Have you ever experienced a phenomenon? I have. The above image appeared through our dining room window in the Summer of 2006. We were in the midst of prayer and worship on the 1st floor of the house we lived in, when a chance glance at the window revealed this miracle. I cried out to Anthony (my husband) "Look Jesus is in the window. He didn't see him at first, so I told him to get his camera. When we looked at the photo in the camera we both saw him. He looked as though he had a white covering over his head. Seconds after we took the picture he was gone. (The image has not been retouched in any way.)
Have a glorious Resurrection Sunday. Luv Carmen

Aromatic Bliss Pt. 4 (MOOD BATHING)

2009-04-10T12:48:00.000-07:00

One of the things I enjoy most as an owner of a holistic day spa is the expression of bliss on the faces of my clients after an aromatherapy spa treatment. What's of more importance to me however is that they experience similar “bliss moments” at home. To help clients maintain the feeling of wellness everyday we suggest they start with our Mood Mist. These miracle mists are available in most of the Balancing Blends I wrote about in Part 2. Mood Mists offer the quickest way to ahhh moments any time or place. Being such a serious advocate of hydrotherapy I next encourage everyone to experience Aromatherapy in the bath. There is NOTHING like it!!! I've created a number of complete bath treatments called "Mood Baths” that take bathing to the realm of true rejuvenation and restoration.
Plunging in warm, aromatic waters offer beneath-the-surface solutions for emotional and physical issues one may be facing. Each bath awakens the senses and introduce antispasmodic, anti-inflammatory, cellular-stimulating, antiseptic or pain-relieving properties to the water — allowing for a more complete treatment. Such baths unravel the mind and allows it to gently stretch beyond natural limitations. Lighting a scented candle and sipping on a cup of aromatic tea to enhance the experience is recommended. I also recommend using a bath net sponge or exfoliating bath gloves instead of a wash cloth. Not only will they remove dead skin cells, they make for a more bubbly bath especially when using a good quality bath gel (hint, hint). Most of the bath components are available in bath & body shops and apothecaries across the country, for those who enjoy a good hunt. For the sake of convenience we have everything available online at www.AScentimentalJourney.com. Call me, I would love to help you build a basic Mood Bath Collection to suit your specific needs.

Can't wait to share my beguiling bath recipes. So you too can sequester yourself in pure, pleasing bliss and aromatic delights — A necessary indulgence indeed.
Have a blessed Good Friday. Luv Carmen

Aromatic Bliss Pt 3

2009-04-06T11:15:00.000-07:00

Hello lovely friends. What a rewarding weekend. I was the guest on a one hour local Christian TV program Saturday. They named the interview Carmen Abercrombie's Scentimental Journey. It was the first time I was able to tell my life's story on camera, and it felt real good. It's something when I think of how only a few months ago I was too physically challenged to ever consider being on film. I'll tell you more about it later. But now I would like to continue on the subject of Aromatherapy.

NOT JUST ANY OIL WILL DO: There is a great difference between fragrance or perfume oils and essential oils. All fragrances transmit through our olfactory bulb to our limbic system (the part of our brain that controls memory and emotional response). However only 100% pure Aromatherapy grade essential oils have the God-given ability to trigger the body's natural healing process by stimulating the flow of blood and lymph fluid. Essential oils harnesses the life force of certain plants, woods and resins which trigger restoration and harmony of our physical body and mind, will and emotions (our body - soul systems). Breathe in the essential oils distilled from the marjoram plant and you may experience a bit of euphoria. Feel the cobwebs wash away as stimulating peppermint and rosemary oils clear and refresh your mind. This is what I call “True Aromatherapy”. Aromatherapy beautifies as essential oils are quickly absorbed and can penetrate the skin easily. As an esthetician I love creating beautiful customized treatments for soul-soothing, de-toxifying facials.

HOW DOES IT WORK: You can feel the therapeutic effects of essential oils by simply inhaling the vapors which are composed of tiny living plant molecules. Their aroma molecules are translated into a signal by the receptor cells with in the nasal cavity. This signal is sent to the olfactory bulb and then on to the limbic part of the brain. It is believed that the essential oil aroma activates the “pharmacy” within our brains which are our neurochemicals such as serotonin and endorphins. The neurochemicals have there own special language which our brain uses to communicate with our mind-body systems. Pain relief and other physical effects are also experienced when neurochemicals are released. Don't forget to visit me at www.AScentimentalJourney.com for all of your aromatic needs. I can't wait to get into my delicious "Bliss Baths" recipes tomorrow, so stay tuned.
Have an amazing week. Blissful Blessings, Carmen

Aromatic Bliss Pt. 2

2009-04-03T07:57:00.000-07:00

A WELLNESS SECRET OF THE RICH & FAMOUS: Many of the worlds rich and famous make serious investments in Aromatherapy treatments and custom blended oils to settle their nerves, tantalize their senses and beautify their bodies. Because of the work demands and lifestyles that are often out of control, stars are spending big bucks on rejuvenating essential oils and their luxurious treatments. I’ll never forget reading in the paper that the late Princess Diana listed her weekly $500 Aromatherapy expense as part of her divorce settlement.

WHY SUCH AN ALLEGIANCE? I believe it's because Aromatherapy helps to bring balance and restoration to the mind-body system. Aromatherapy is both holistic and practical in that it can protect the body’s life saving immune system, as well as help with everyday household tasks. Natural fragrant essences can stabilize emotions and elevate the spiritual vibration in even the most hostile environment.

AN AFFORDABLE NECESSARY INDULGENCE: The real secret is that Aromatherapy is an affordable, necessary indulgence. Not everyone has the means to spend hundreds of dollars each month on Aromatherapy treatments, nor do they have to. The wonderful thing about Aromatherapy is how affordable it is to practice on one’s own. Essential oils average range is from $6.00 to $35 for 1/6 of an ounce, though there are a few precious oils such as rose of altar that can go as high as $100. When I started A Scentimental Journey the Lord anointed me to create several outrageous blends that remain best sellers for us. Our Balancing Blends include "Calm Zone", "Sinus Relief", Creative Energy", "PMS", "Menopausal Blend", "Sensual". "Home Sweet Home", "Sweet Dreams", "Spiritual Blend", "Healing Skin Treatment", "Recovery" and "Muscle Rescue". Each beautiful blend is available in Undiluted and Ready To Use form, as well as a complete bath & body collection. Imagine taking an evening bath with the fragrance bubbles of sweet oranges, lavender and clary sage? That is what's in our "Sweet Dreams" blend. But there are hundreds of easy recipes and preparations anyone can use to create amazing, soul soothing formulas for personal, home and office use. For a list of essential oils and their benefits stroll down to the end of my blog and click. You'll find my Aromatherapy shop online. Stay tuned...
HAPPY FRIDAY, Love Carmen

My grandparents live on a farm in St George South Carolina. My grand-mommy Emma Jane was an herbalist, and a faith healer. She had a lovely garden where she grew the most beautiful flowers and herbs. I'm so grateful to have been given her gift with herbs and her faith for healing. I've have studied and practiced Aromatherapy for 16 years now and I love it. It gives me great pleasure to teach workshops and classes. Many of our best selling products are from our Balancing Blends Aromatherapy Collection. So I thought it would be great to usher in spring with a few posts on the subject. This will be my first.

God created us with the biological makeup to benefit from plants in many marvelous ways, and Aromatherapy is one of them. Since recorded history essential plant essences have been used spiritually, medicinally, for burial use, beauty, as well as romance. In today’s world of stress, strain, heartache and body pain the practice of the ancient art of Aromatherapy is a true blessing more than ever. It is time that we look to nature once again to find our way back to feeling really, really. good and even looking better. Stay tuned...

Be sure to check out the Aromatherapy department at http://www.AScentimentalJourney.com (or stroll all the way down the page and click) it's filled with the benefits and uses of many important essential oils.
Be blessed, Carmen

Beauty Is In The Heart of The Homemaker

2009-04-01T16:54:00.000-07:00

Do you like the vignette I've created for my dining room server? The menu came from a tea room I loved. I ragged the walls to compliment dusty rose and peachy pink. I have always loved decorating. I guess it came from my art background.

We were taught to be moved by what we see quicker than what we hear, feel or even believe. Therefore what we see in and around our homes should be encouraging, nurturing and inspiring, or of major importance. In fact, a good way to rid your house of clutter is to look at each object in question and ask yourself — “Is this encouraging, nurturing, inspiring or of major importance? ” I've learned that to create a home that brings you joy you must first find out what excites you visually. I did’t discover my decorating style until my first few months of marriage. I decided I needed to learn more about homemaking so I began to purchase decorating magazines. I bought Victorian Home, House & Garden, Country Living and Colonial Home just to name a few. Why so many? Because I did’t know enough of what I liked to develop a style. If you don’t want to invest in lots of expensive magazines, order loads of catalogs, they’re free. Cut out pictures of decorating ideas, colors, patterns and objects that excites you. Use the clippings to create a decorating resource binder. I can’t tell you how helpful a book like this can be. I have several in several categories. When asked for decorating advice the first thing I always suggest is that the person finds out what they really love andsurround themselves with those things. With that kind of honesty, your personal style will come together. I call that the “mosaic” style of decorating - the artistic placement of unmatched but lovingly chosen pieces that create rooms of personal beauty. Some of the most charming homes I've been in were mosaics. I began to gravitate to the coziness of country and then realized my passion was for the opulence of Victoriana. But not before purchasing two major Oriental pieces. I found a way to make them work by adding a few other black lacquer pieces to tie it all together. The funny thing is I still have those pieces (my large lacquer wall unit and Chinese horn chair). Once you know what you love, you can begin to surround yourself with things that resonate with your soul. This is why to me, a beautiful home is in the heart of the homemaker.
HAPPY APRIL

Manifest The Good Life

2009-03-23T11:40:00.000-07:00

God has a very basic law for living in peace, joy, financial abundance and divine health. That law is to abide in Him. In all that we do we must abide in Him and “do” (live) His word everyday. God and His word are one. To truly believe in God we must believe in His word. We must plant the seed of God’s word which is found in the holy bible into our hearts. The seed of God’s word is so full of creative, life giving power it will produce a harvest of restoration and divine manifestation in every area of our lives. Think about that - If God is the creator would not his word have the same power to create? The bible is a complete, total life source book. It is abundant in health & beauty tips, relationship how-to’s and is the foundational guide for obtaining wealth. The fact is, God has already given us all of these things. His word is where we learn how to receive them.
Have a magnifecint Monday. Luv Carmen

March Bliss List

2009-03-17T17:28:00.000-07:00

You Are Cordially Invited To Attend To Nothing But Your Peace Of Mind - I Give You Permission To Leave Everything Else Behind - These Moments Are Yours To Experience The Sublime - And Tend To Everything Else Another Time

1. Practice the art of Day Dreaming. Hard you say? No time you say? We do it all day. The difference is we practice "day nightmares". Thoughts of dread come so easy to us that they've become part of our natural thought process. But the word tells us to think on good things. So simply start by taking a lovely thought and practice holding on to it for 3 to 5 minutes, three times a day. Oh, by-the-way don't be surprise when miracles and happy surprises begin to show up.
2. Be absolutely determined to feel good every day. A good tip is to keep a smile on your face all the time, Well at least most of the time. Harpo Marks wrote the song "Smile" that Nate King Cole made famous. Find it on the net and listen to the words, it'll make you SMILE LOL!
3. Buy yourself a gift from a shop you love and have it gift wrapped in luscious paper & ribbon. Promise it to yourself after achieving a certain goal. Keep it in sight for inspiration – Now that’s self-encouragement.
4. Wake up at 4:30 in the morning once a week. Light a few candles, prepare your favorite hot beverage, and have a nice long talk with God (Plan to get to bed early the night before).
5. Plan your bliss. Start a home-spa bubble bath collection. You know the good stuff (subliminal: www.AScentimentalJourney.com), aromatherapy salts, bubbly bath gel, a sweet sugar scrub, soothing bath oils, and yummy soaps. Look for a super fluffy bathrobe and slippers. You’re going to need a decadent, thirsty towel and candles too. You’ll be on the ready for some REAL self-pampering when life beats up on you – because every champion needs a little R&R.
6. Spend a few hours at an awesome health food store and explore all the delicious, healthy food options that are out there. You'll be pleasantly surprise.
7. Spend the weekend Spring-cleaning and reap the rewards for weeks to come.
8. Subscribe to a new magazine. Something that will inspire you to cook healthy, sew, paint, or even travel. A good place to start is at www.AScentimentalJourney.com. On our home page you’ll find our Magazine Stand link. I promise you’ll feel like a kid in a candy store.
9. Create a Correspondence Box, drawer or chess. Fill it with all occasion cards, pretty stationary, fancy stamps, yummy stickers and fun pens. Email is cool, but there's still something really special about receiving a card, or personal note in the mail.
10. Join www.90daydreamquest.com and become a part of the Biblical Laws of Attraction Mastermind Group. Set 3 to 4 goals you would like to manifest within the next 90 days and we’ll support you.

A Note To Rebecca (Just take the first step.)

2009-03-12T08:31:00.000-07:00

Hello friends. I've been gone awhile I know. I needed to direct my focus on creating my new website and fabulicious programs for divine health & wellness. I can't wait to share everything with you.

My lovely new friend Rebecca sent me a comment about my 4 Day Raw Organic Cleanse. I wanted to address it because I believe many of you feel the same way. You want to change your eating and cleanse your body, and you know in your spirit that you should BUT...
Trust me I do understand. Years back I began experiencing an intestinal condition similar to that of my dad, who had passed away from stomach cancer. Around that time I had also developed at blood disorder from living in black mole-infested environments. I knew that these problems along with reoccurring eczema had to be cut off at the root. I also knew that cleansing my blood through a serious detox and diet change was my only hope. Years came and went, with one reason after the next not to give up sugar, dairy, unhealthy meat and all refined foods long enough for my body to heal. If only I knew back then that all I had to do was detox for a week or so and follow it with a 50% raw organic / 50% gluten and sugar free cooked-food lifestyle. The problem was, I had no idea what gluten free and healthy sugar free food options where. I didn't know that I could still have my afternoon tea with cookies and cake. I didn't know that I didn't have to live on rabbit food for the rest of my life.

All I'm saying is that you have so many amazing, delicious food options that can slim you down, give you energy and heal your body. Just take that first step in the right direction and know that I will be there for you.

Love, Carmen
P.S. The picture above is a delicious appetizer I through together with a veggie/barley/lentils "meat" I made, on brown rice tortillas with organic salad and my homemade sweet mustard dressing. (I'm chasing the yum!)

4 Day Raw Organic Cleanse Wrap Up

2009-03-06T18:12:00.000-08:00

I had planned on updating you with what I was eating and experiencing each day of my 4 day Raw Organic Cleanse. As it turned out I felt it was more important to focus on how-to content. Many of you needed more time to prepare. Not to worry. The important thing is you are raising your vibration simply by making cleansing your intent. Now it's time to make your shopping list for the health food store and plan all of your meals. Believe me it's easier than you think. Please be sure to go back to my posts starting from this past Monday, March 2nd for tips, recipes and inspiration.
Okay so let me show you just some of the things I've prepared and have eaten during the last 4 days.

This is my health tonic. It's like the "lemonade diet" tea on steroids. It's great in the winter because it rids the body of mucus naturally. And it tastes fabulicious!

" />
Fresh fruit is all you really need in the morning. This actually filled me up.

I topped this fresh organic salad with my Chunky Monkey Guacamole and homemade dressing.

Now doesn't this look sweet and yummy? Tell me, what more do you really need for lunch or even dinner?

This chocolate pudding is outrageous. Can you guess what it's made with? I bet not. Its recipe is 1 ripe banana, 1 tablespoon of cacao (raw chocolate), agave, pure vanilla and an avocado, whipped in my food processor. You read right. It's raw, organic and delicious!

39. You’ll learn so much more about healthy food options.
40. You’ll lose old food craving.
41. Your senses will become more acute.
42. You’ll be less drawn to alcohol.
43. You won’t want to smoke any more.
44. You’ll age much more graciously.
45. You can eat all that you want.
46. You’ll have fun trying new raw recipes.
47. You’ll enjoy meeting others who are raw.
48. You’ll help save the environment.
49. You’ll live happier.
50. You’ll live longer.

I created this list to excite you about all of the amazing bennies of eating raw organics. However I am practical enough to know that most of you wouldn't give up cooked food if your doctor told you to. That's not what this is all about. My goal here is to get you to the point where you would eat at least 50% raw organic along with 50% healthy organic, cooked food. Here's the thing, eat 25% raw and get 25% the benefits, eat 50% raw and get 50% of the benefits, eat 100% raw and get 100% of the benefits. So it's simply up to you to decide just how healthy you really want to be.
Now that's truly food for thought.
Written in love, Carmen

HOMEMADE NUT BUTTERS

2009-03-03T16:18:00.000-08:00

My precious niece reminded me of the nut butter recipe I said I would post. She lives in Tennessee and I miss her. I'm so proud of how totally committed she is to her organic cleanse. She emailed me saying she was going to Whole Foods to shop. I'm extremely grateful to the Lord that I may have some part of her making a demand on her life's destiny. A demand to proper and be in health, even as her soul prospers.
Now it's time to get a little nutty.

ALMOND AND CASHEW BUTTERS
Almond and cashew nut butters are absolutely delish, and oh so good for you. What a perfect alternative to the name brand sort. This recipe is vegan, gluten free and sugar free, and trust me your kids will love it too. Raw organic nut butter is high in protein and essential fats (a good thing for skin, nervous system and your brain) and enzymes because it’s raw. Regular peanut butter is not because the roasting process denatures it. Here we go.

2 Cups of Almonds or Cashews (soaked for 6 to 8 hours and dried)
¼ Teaspoon Sea Salt
1 Tablespoon Agave Nectar (Optional)
Oil (any healthy oil of your choice as need)

Grind dry nuts to a powder in Vita-Mixer or coffee grinder. If a few chucks remain butter will be chunky. Don’t bend too long or Vita-Mix will heat will denature the nuts. To avoid this you can pre-freeze nuts in Vita-Mix container before blending. Once in powder form pour into food processor. While mixing add salt and agave. Add oil 1 tablespoon of oil in at a time. Stop when butter looks at bit runny. Natural butter thickens when refrigerated. Place in jar and keep in fridge.

STAND FIRM, GOD IS YOUR ROCK!

2009-03-03T14:32:00.000-08:00

Hello lovely friends. How was your day? Are you enjoying the feeling of eating only clean, fresh, life-giving food? Some of you maybe saying "Carmen the spirit is willing but the flesh is getting weak!" Believe me I totally understand. However take a moment to feel your body. Okay now really listen to your body. Ask it, does it like all of the raw, organic food you've been giving it. Can you hear what it's saying? "It's saying YAH THINK? - I haven't felt this light in a long time. - Don't listen to your head, listen to MEEE - If you keep this up I may be able to get myself straight." (LOL) So keep going. If you started with me on Monday you've only 2days to go. If you like, give me a call on my business line and I'll call you back within 24 hours. That's (718) 273-9772 I really want to help you do this.
Pray Psalm 6:25 throughout this evening. "God is my rock and my salvation; He is my success and my defense I will not be moved."
Much love, Carmen

PRAY FOR SUPPORT

2009-03-02T10:59:00.000-08:00

I'm a firm believer in guaranteeing one's success through the power of pray, affirmations, meditation and visualization. It's important that the Lord is in all that we do. I pray for your strength during your 4 Day Raw Organic Cleanse. I pray that you allow God to renew your mind about eating. You can use Romans 12:1-2 as a prayer, then as an affirmation to keep you strong throughout the day. Here's how..

A prayer using Romans 12:1-2:
— Father help me to present my body as a living sacrifice, holy
and acceptable to unto You which is my reasonable service.
Give me the grace not to be conformed to all the temptations
of the world. Give me the strength Holy Spirit to transform my
eating, therefore transferring my body by renewing my mind.
God I desire to do your will and be acceptable in your sight. In
Jesus’ name. Amen.

An affirmation using Romans 12:1-2
— I live by presenting my body as a living sacrifice to You Father, holy unto You which is my reasonable service. I am no longer conformed to the unhealthy temptations of the world. I have been strengthen by the Holy Spirit and is now transformed in my mind, body and emotions. I am healthy. I look and feel great. My life is proving the good and acceptable perfect will of God.
Love you, Carmen

SPROUTING 101

2009-03-01T19:10:00.000-08:00

Hi friends. As promised here’s the skinny on sprouting. I began my love for sprouting back when I went shopping at my first health food store. I was in high school and living with my two older sisters. I just had a natural unction to be healthy back then. Sadly, I did’t continue my love affair with healthy living once I began college. My poor food choices along with environmental conditions took their toll on me eventually. In any event, the purpose for soaking (most nuts just require soaking) and sprouting is to activate the enzymes to bring out the amazing life giving, nutrients of raw seeds, nuts, grains and legumes. Soaking and sprouting also increases their digestibility. Another good thing about sprouting is that it is economical. One teaspoon of alfalfa seeds can yield 2 pounds of sprouts. Some say that sprouts are the perfect food because they are alkaline energy food. In addition they are so rich in vitamins and minerals. What’s more is their proteins, carbs and fats are broken down into a usable form.

Soak seeds, nuts, grains and legumes by placing them on a large enough bowl that will allow you to cover them completely with purified water. Soak overnight or for at lease 8 hours. The next morning, or after 8 hours pour them into a colander for rinsing. Rinse completely. Nuts and seeds only require this process to made them ready to eat or use in recipes. I prefer to spread them out on a large flat pan or cookie sheet that has been covered with paper towel. They will dry free from mole this way. If using them right away in a recipe it does’t matter it they are wet. As for grains and legumes after 1st rinsing you will have to leave them in the colander covered with paper toweling, away from bright sun another 8 hours. Repeat the rinsing process for at lease 2 days, 2 to 3 times per day until they actually sprout. Drain and place paper towel underneath them and store in the fridge. Sprouts will keep about 4 to 5 days. It's gonna be FUN!!
Blissful Blessings, Carmen

DO YOU SEE WHAT'S GOING ON?

2009-03-01T11:31:00.000-08:00

Happy Sunday. I promised that I would give you the basics on sprouting and making nut creams and I will; but I felt the need to get you thinking. So let’s talk.
Do you remember when you could watch television without all of the over-the-counter mediation commercials? Do you remember when all of the scary prescription commercials started to bombard your living room? Do you know how commonplace nerve, anxiety, diabetes, and other prescription drugs are in American households? OK, now look around your city or town. Did you notice how many super drugstores have popped up within the last 3 years? They seem to be everywhere. What do you think is happening? Do you see a connection? First the fast food and sugary snack commercials, then the over the counter drug commercials, suddenly more illness and serious diseases, followed by the scary pharmaceutical commercials, now all of the drugstores. When you think about it, it’s the same strategy dealers have used to infest communities with street drugs.
If we don’t wise up, we are going to be in serious trouble. God told us to treat our body as a temple. A temple is a holy place, an honored and respected place. When we disobey the laws of wellness we become prey to the enemy’s devices. Remember John 10:10? Jesus told us …” The enemy comes to kill, steal and destroy, but I have come that you have life and have it more abundantly.”
You can turn your health and your family’s health around by introducing living organic food into your home. Start by doing a health food shop (I’ll post a “starter” shopping list) then follow the Raw Organic Body Cleanse for 4 days (see prior posts). After that begin to eat a 50/50 diet. That’s 50% cooked and 50% raw vegan. It’s that simple. Now is the time to become proactive don’t continue to set yourself up as a victim of the pharmaceutical drug dealers. Once you’re on them you’ll never know how deep the rabbit hole will take you. If you’re already on them know that your body was created to self-heal. And remember, “Life Begets Life” so eat live food to live.

JOIN ME ON A 4 DAY RAW, ORGANIC CLEANSE

2009-02-25T08:51:00.000-08:00

Since my health has turned around I have been eating more cooked food than raw, organic vegan meals. All organic, wheat, gluten and sugar free, but cooked none the less. About 10 months ago my blood specialist and dear friend Alsuna, who helped me save my life suggested that I start eating cooked food again. I was so committed to healing my blood that when I first went to see her, I was under 90 pounds. Needless to say though a little hesitant I was thrilled that I could have a hot meal. Before then my diet consisted of raw fruit and veggies in their natural state. I also prepared tasty raw dishes by dehydrating spouted seeds, beans and veggies in my oven set no higher than 100 degrees. I have since gained most of my natural weight back. I was about 120 before I became ill in January 2007. I'm about 110 now. The problem is most of my new weight is around my waist. Everything else is looking pretty good. I'm so grateful that I'm getting my bootie back. When I was raw my stomach was the most flat it has never been in my adult life. So now the trick will be to get rid of the bloat, the gas and the fat around my waist, while cleansing my entire body temple. I also want to nourish my soul and feed my spirit. It's funny how not feeding your body can feed your spirit. So I'm going on a Four Day Raw Organic Cleanse. I said 7 days at first but Anthony (my husband) suggested that I start with 4 days. He says I'm always so radical, so I'm taking his advice.
Why don't you join me? This is going to be very simple - nothing crazy. If you're familar with the "lemonade diet", you may use the "tea" as your between meal support, or try my "detox tonic" (recipe forth-coming). Meals will be ORGANIC (more about that later) fruits and veggies, big salads and green smoothies (more on that later). Email me with any questions. Lets start Monday of next week. We're gonna be fabulicious.
Love You, Carmen

How Much Bliss Do You Experience Each Day?

2009-02-09T11:50:00.000-08:00

What a glorious day. I am so excited about being an active part of the Blogging community. I would like to begin my first post by posing this question - How much bliss do you experience each day? Ponder that for a moment.

Not very long ago I lived my life, over worked and over stressed most of the time. Even though I created wellness products, gave spa treatments and even facilitated wellness workshops, I was on "the edge" most of the time. Thinking back, the only times I experienced bliss were... giving clients facials in my soul soothing treatment room, relaxing in my husband's arms (just being around him is blissful, well most of the time), working out at the park and being at my church. Of course there were many other things that brought me bliss, I just rarely got to do them. I guess I have a bit of a type A personality, which seems to be common place with many business owners and "get-er-done" folk.

I can truly say, I now understand how, too much "get-er-done" without enough "get-her-fun" can "get-her-dead" LOL! You see, it all caught up with me 2 years ago when I ended up so ill, this women of optimism and faith had doubts about her own recovery. It took lots of spiritual and physical work to turn things around. However, if I hadn't learn the art of feeling good, I mean feeling good even when things aren't good, I would not be healed today.

I am greatful for all that I've learned the past two years as I was claiming my health. I say claim rather than reclaim because I had never really claimed my health, even though it was bought and paid for over 2000 years ago. And it's the same thing with bliss. It belongs to us. All we have to do is claim it!
