Audio Blog with Natalie and Macha: Supporting Our Elders’ Health Renaissance

Helping our 65+ friends navigate the cleansing principles for a more life-generating trajectory has been a focal point of my chats with Macha lately. We feel it’s way overdue that we officially open the floor to discuss this important and multifaceted stage of life. In this audio, Macha and I offer guidance on both the big picture and the finer details of applying the cleansing principles to this stage of life. I hope it is just the beginning of this conversation. Please let us know if there are any specific questions you have for yourself or a loved one (you can put these in the comments field) and we will do our best to answer them in a future blog or audio.

What should we be feeding our 13 month old?

Q: I was hoping you might be able to guide me on what I should be giving Elle, who is now 13-months-old. I understand what is ideal, but since my husband and I are not eating “ideally” then I think we are going to need to compromise with some of Elle’s diet. She has always been the kind of baby who thinks she is an adult so she wants to have every single thing that we eat. I have been able to keep a lot of non-ideal foods from her. Elle’s typical routine is she likes lots of water (w/stevia) through the day (she loves sweet things), most of her meals are still baby shakes ’cause she loves them so much (usually comprised of spinach, bananas, and avocado), a little fresh veggie juice, snacks on banana, and then dinner is usually eaten with us and concluded with some more shake. The heaviest things she has are raw puddings/shakes that have nuts and fruit in them (and sometime a little agave), white potatoes, and butter on cooked veggies. To make this easy for you, I’m going to write down typical foods we have in our house in a list form and I was wondering if you do have time, maybe you could run through them and put yes or no next to them and help me decide what is okay to compromise with, and maybe some alternatives? All of these things are usually just accompanied by a lot of veggies (like sometimes I will chop up a corn tortilla or a piece of sprouted wheat bread and add it to a veggie-mixture to stuff squash with, or I will add one egg to millet pancake batter or to vegetable fritters, or boxed almond milk to my smoothies). Organic butter Hormone-free cream cheese Hormone-free heavy cream Organic eggs Pastuerized sheep’s feta and pecorino romano (and other sheep cheeses) Jarred salsa Boxed almond milk Coconut butter Vinegars Millet puffs Millet flour/whole millet Quinoa Oats Brown/wild rice Buckwheat Sprouted wheat bread Corn tortillas Z bars Lara bars Beans Corn White potatoes Thank you for your help! I appreciate everything you do for us!

A: The diet as described is great! See our bold responses below for a few upgrades you can consider:

  • Organic butter
  • Hormone-free cream cheese
  • Hormone-free heavy cream
  • Organic eggs – Just make sure these are really high-quality, free-range, organic eggs. If you can find a local source that you trust, that is the best way to ensure you are getting the best eggs!
  • Pastuerized sheep’s feta and pecorino romano (and other sheep cheeses) If you can find raw goat/sheep cheese, this would be a good upgrade. The pasteurized cheese isn’t horrible, it just lacks the enzymes that assist in digestion. These enzymes are killed in the pasteurization process so again, it’s not critical, but would be a good upgrade if you can find the raw version of goat/sheep cheese you like. We sell Natalia’s favorite brand, Alta Dena, raw cheddar style goat cheese through out online store if you can’t find anything local!
  • Jarred salsa – You could consider making your own fresh salsa!
  • Boxed almond milk – Boxed almond milk is fine as long as it is a high quality brand like “Pacific.” However, if you are feeling ambitious, you could make your own nut milk. This way, you can feel confident about all of the ingredients! Check out our “Homemade Nut Milk” recipe in the Recipe Section.
  • Coconut butter – Just make sure it’s organic!
  • Millet puffs
  • Millet flour/whole millet
  • Quinoa
  • Oats
  • Brown/wild rice
  • Buckwheat
  • Sprouted wheat bread
  • Corn tortillas – These are fine but you can also try the sprouted grain tortillas.
  • Z bars
  • Lara bars
  • Beans
  • Corn
  • White potatoes – White potatoes are good but an upgrade would be sweet potato – it is just a little higher up on the “alkalinity” scale than white potatoes although both are fine and biochemically superior to grains!

Sovereignty Among Chaos

Leave a comment

It’s as if there are two worlds vibrating in the same space right now – the world on the brink of war, directed by hypnotic media, government and commercial messages, doomed to incurable diseases and the world on the brink of bursting consciousness, of awakening to the remarkable destiny of the human being, surging with light!

The former is still in a reality we could call the “dark age,” one that leads to self-destruction. The latter is moving into a new reality, “the golden age.” This golden age could also be called a “golden state” because it exists when life (or an individual) is attuned with the pure Source energy — the heart of creation, the original energy (also referred to as “God” or the “Universe) from which life expresses.

Like radio stations, many different “realities” can occur simultaneously offering infinite wavelengths for one to tune into. We have always been able to elevate ourselves to our full human potential, but never before has there been such a strong impetus to do so. The implications of the dark state have reached a critical point that, like an alarm clock, have stirred the hearts of many to take action either personally or communally to find solutions.

In today’s world all free people have a very distinct and final choice to make – to either live in darkness, which basically implies becoming a slave to a sub-human paradigm or to follow a path of “bread crumbs” – of “truth vibrations” and ascend up and out of this common, dark consciousness in order to attune with a frequency that harmonizes with the vibration of Source.

In fact, I think the most important task for us all is to elevate our frequency to harmonize with Source. Doing so will ensure everything else in our lives is protected – a bit like calling “safe” in a game of tag.

There are so many forces vying to vampire our energy, our attention, all of our resources. Many will allow theirs to be leached and thereby lose all their power – these are the ones who will unwittingly subject themselves to big Pharma medicine, who’s minds will grow dim and dull from years of hypnotizing media, who will have non-functioning bladders and cancer-ridden prostates and spend their lives in depressing jobs to pay debts on things they never needed. These are the inevitable effects of submitting to the social norms of our day. The unwitting person is so easy to steal from and the media, government and commercial enterprises take full advantage of this vulnerability as they use everything in their arsenal to keep the masses in the unwitting state.

I don’t say this to be scary or dooming. It’s just that if you are attuned to the common station, this is how it is. Happily, this is not the only choice you have, that frequency is not the only radio station in town! You have always been able to attune to Source. That is your home frequency – what your being resonates with best, and you will know it to be so when you feel it. When you achieve that experience (which, like cell cleansing, is a visceral experience that you will undeniably feel on every level, not some ethereal concept) you will have another choice to make – to create a life in sync with the Source energy that will enable you to remain attuned to it or to attune to your previous frequency or something in between. The greatest beauty and the best choices will come from your most consistent attunement to Source energy. However, as you attune more consistently with this extraordinary sensation, you may go in and out of it for some time. That’s perfectly normal. As you hold these higher, harmonious frequencies longer and longer you will eventually achieve the supreme state of holding it, even as you move through the world with all it’s seeming ups and downs.

All the practices and principles we underscore at DetoxTheWorld are tools for elevating and harmonizing your frequency with Source. The raw green juices and dietetics that magnetize the old waste up and out of the cells, tissues and organs and the colon cleansing protocols help the physical body become less dense so it can vibrate higher and higher with more life force (Source energy) conducting through it. If you’ve experienced it, you know that electromagnetic energy surging through body is sheer bliss! Attuning with Source through meditation, dissolving your cultural programming through recapitulation exercises and increase awareness and then changing everything you are ready, willing and able to change to reflect this awakening work all serve to attune you in this way. Consciously attuning with Source energy is will make and keep us sovereign, enabling us to actualize and maintain our full potential as creative, loving, self-governing humans.

The practices of transitioning into a highly raw food diet, of drinking green juices, of meditating, of raising “life-force” families are far from ends unto themselves – or even from serving the physical body alone. They are all done for the greater interest of this noble attunement.

It’s also important to appreciate that if one wishes to be healthy, it is not enough to eat raw food, drink green juice and have a clean colon if one is otherwise attuned to the dark culture. That is why some people struggle with their lives even when they do these things to the letter. More and more, as the world dives deeper into chaos, those who wish to have full sovereignty (health, mind, spirit, relationships, creativity, etc.) must attune with Source. The downward pull has never been greater and without the frequency around and within you to prevent it, it’s inevitable that you will be pulled down with it.

The attuning of our being (with it’s multiple fields – physical, emotional, mental, etc.) is our greatest protection from the downward spiral that would make us slaves to commercial and political enterprise at the cost of our health, power, fertility and mental sovereignty.

When you undertake the practices that develop this harmony in place of the dissonance, you will own this sovereignty and appreciate that there is nothing more important you could own. And yes, you will also see that your body has been transformed, that your illnesses are no longer a part of you, nor are your old inclinations toward jealousy, greed, self-absorption. They will merely serve as memories of what a low, inharmonious vibration creates.

Rather than harboring fear and/or anger over the world’s descent into chaos, keep your eyes and heart on Truth and move toward it until you are fully immersed in it. There in you will find nothing but beauty, protection, inspiration, life and love. Enjoy the journey there – every green juice, every mediation that brings the bliss into your cells, every ring of truth through your body and every time you recognize the higher choice and make it!

All Love,
Natalia

DetoxTheWorld exists to provide you with the knowledge and inspiration you need to become harmonized with the Source energy and enjoy the fullest expression of your beautiful life!

Declare Your Interdependence!

Leave a comment

Now that we’ve celebrated Independence Day, I’d like to suggest a greater event to celebrate — our INTER-dependence. But not as a day — as a way of life. Humans go through several stages of relationship on their course of development. First comes dependence – which we experience as baby and child when we depend on our parents and our community to keep us safe as we grow and teach us “the ropes.” Then comes independence, when we can care for ourselves and even teach the younger generation. Then, there’s this backward dysfunctional stage called “co-dependency” that unenlightened civilizations detour into called “co-dependency.” Suckled on a worldview of self-focus or what I call “separation consciousness,” a civilization emerges that does not know how to truly love or contribute harmony. For them power through possessing is their primary lens through which they understand the world. They grow up self-focused, fearful and emotionally imbalanced. From this imbalanced emotional state they try to connect with others. But because of a misguided understanding of how relationship with others should work, they wind up offering the other something in an unspoken exchange for something in return. In this way, the relationship is not based on pure sharing but on condition: “I love you because….” or “As long as you (fill in the blank), I will love you.” (Or rather I will give you my time, attention and approval and my body).

Sadly, far from being a short detour, co-dependency is the typical state of relationship in our culture. This is true not only in romantic relationships but in friendships, family and business relationships. There is a great, empowering leap to be made across the chasm between co-dependence and interdependence. If this leap is made successfully, we find out true freedom. Whereas co-dependency is the downward, relationship-deteriorating spiral, interdependence is the way to life-generating relationships, the upward spinning spiral that elevates man on every level.

How do we make this leap successfully? First we must understand that the interdependent model is the model that all life thrives within. It is the model of the universe: unity among diversity. This means that each individuated being from the smallest microbe to the largest planet moves synergistically with one another. This means we embrace one another’s differences because the differences support the whole. It requires that we strive to be authentic and protect life so life can thrive. It promises that we are great in the truest sense when others are great in the truest sense; we are healthy when the least of us is healthy and if there is pain or suffering in some area of life, it will reach us in some way. It also means that where we have an unhealthy world-view or harmful attitude or take more than we need, we will suffer personally for that imbalance we have contributed. Simply put, all of life is interconnected. We can resist this truth and die from the consequences or we can embrace this truth and thrive!

How will we gain our true sovereignty as individuals and as a planetary community? When we celebrate interdependence and revere it every day of the year. This, my friends is the new frontier, the destiny we are divinely ordained to manifest, the call for today’s pioneers — pioneers who know that there is a greater gold rush to tap than the one in the mid-1800’s. The gold of the life-force gushing from the opening hearts of enlightened humans. Here’s to making that “Westward Ho” over the mountains of our misguided cultural programs and social conditioning and through the rivers of our emotional imbalances that have led us into co-dependence. Let’s shed those uncomfortable uniforms and have a new revolution for the kind of freedom that truly puts an end to the tyranny of our lives. Let’s declare our INTER-dependence!

The Root of All Suffering: Wall Street or Wetiko?

2 Comments

What if I were to tell you there is a virus we have all been exposed to that has caused a severe form of psychosis, one that has led to virtually every known disease and form of suffering in the world today?

The virus, called wetiko, was first identified by the indigenous peoples of the Americas and written about by Jack Forbes in Columbus and Other Cannibals. Wetiko is a spiritual sickness that results in the deliberate and systematic exploitation of others. It is considered a form of cannibalism because it compels humans to consume the lives of other humans in pursuit of self-gratification. Worst of all, it is hereditary: it gets passed on from generation to generation through DNA, family tradition, and cultural conditioning.

On May Day, Occupy Wall Street (also International Workers’ Day) initiated its spring campaign, renewing its commitment to end social and economic inequality, greed, and corruption. Occupy Wall Street calls itself the 99%—in essence the ones who are exploited by wetiko’s accumulated wealth. But as we embrace this spring awakening of social consciousness, it is worth asking ourselves who the real enemy is. Is it the 1%, per se? Or is it the wetiko mindset? And if it’s the wetiko mindset, aren’t the 99% just as likely to be infected with it? Don’t we all share the same social programming and self-destructive inclinations? Would the 99% be the 1% ruling elite if they could? Given a choice, who among us would take only what we need?

Don’t get me wrong: I believe the mission of OWS is a noble one. It’s the take-action outcry against destructive social inequalities that our wetiko culture has created, and thank goodness so many people are defending the worth of the human spirit against the gross amassing of wealth! But we will not achieve any semblance of equality until we have cured ourselves of wetiko and moved toward unity consciousness—the understanding that life can thrive only as a whole interconnected web. By the same token, we must defeat the entrenched wetiko dogma that deems equality impossible; that says in order for the world to go round, there must be haves and have-nots. This belief, also known as separation consciousness, is at the root of our modern psychosis.

The problem is that wetiko is a kind of autoimmune psychosis. It does not merely harm that which it exploits; it also causes irrational, self-destructive behavior in its host. Such behavior is manifest in the overconsumption of toxic substances that we think we want and need—including drugs, chemically processed foods, fossil fuels, and insidious media messages—which lead to all manner of physical, psychological, and environmental imbalances. Thus, wetiko wages a powerful assault on the mind, body, and spirit of all who come into contact with it.

In the wetiko world, we seek individual power through the accumulation of goods, namely commodities that the collective group deems valuable. We also seek power by conforming to contemporary fashions—which, of commercial necessity, are always shifting in order to generate new “must-have” looks and products. The lords of wetiko wield ideals of wealth and beauty to control and increase their power over the likewise infected masses. Through advertising, marketing, political lobbying, and other means of mind control, they lure the masses to consume products that promise instant gratification but only leave them feeling empty and craving more.

The good news: wetiko is curable. But the cure must begin with ourselves. No one else can do it for us. Whether we are the 99% or the 1%, we are all on the same unsustainable course. Instead of just pointing the finger at others, we must do our own soul-searching and work to loosen the grip of wetiko on our minds. In order to do this, we must recall everything we know about how nature operates and link forces with it. Only nature’s wisdom has the power to defeat wetiko, which will fight hard to stay alive and keep us hooked into the beliefs that direct our actions, our purchases, our choices—all the consumer habits that have put the 1% in power, toppled our economy, and left us physically and spiritually denatured.

The only social revolution worthy of the human spirit is one that vanquishes wetiko and restores us to a state of true vitality: of thriving, interconnected life and respect for all life. This spring, let’s vow to stop feeding the psychosis with our own complicity. Let’s fight the good fight by opening our minds and hearts to the world and letting our better natures in.
