October: Why Fast? The power of Music, Learn about Chakras & more..

A wise man once told me that I need to spend more time  with the sun. Eat the breath of life, feel the energy that strife.. with 'All Over' Goodness. Remain humble with this, is the root of humanity, strength and courage. The journey of life is unique as one has to pay trials and tribulations of  'Greatness'.

Plant the seed of destiny.. love.. peace.. and serenity.

Today, I am fasting. To reap the benefits of moment of clarity, a spiritual cleanliness, a mental cleanse from today's negativity. Remove the chains that hinder my life to move FWD. 

Pray Fasting

Fasting is the most powerful, spiritual discipline ritual carried out by people in many religions. Some purposes are for spiritual reasons and more.

Fasting is the volunteer act  of abstaining from all food and drink, or both, for a period of time. Make sure you drink plenty of water and take deep-breathing exercises. This would give the system a chance to purify itself from poisonous substances.

 I personally see spiritual & physical blessings and would suggest anyone to try it once knowing more research as to how to do so. Be sure to Always document your experience as to know more about your body, how it would react to many events.

Note: People with serious health issues should consult with their doctor before doing so.

The way how I see and use fasting during my weight loss journey, I would place certain bad food habits and paired them with the people who are no good for me or my life. Characterize  them with personality. Before, I would start the eliminating process I would say for example.

Fast food, all you did was constipate me with foolishness, tricking me into believing I can't resist your charm. With someone who would use and abuse my kindness for weakness, not to mention how you would use me for a perfect door mat to wipe off the dirt you've left in my life.

Which made giving up such bad habits way more easier. In order for you to be committed in the journey you have to want this for yourself. Once, you've made up your mind. It is Done!

Music

Listen to positive music, it could be soul music or whatever you prefer. Speak words of life and encouragement into your life. As long as it is positive music, which fixes the heart of the matter. The soul. 

The accuracy of positive vibrations molds a new response into your subconscious state to become hopeful in your own universe. Believing more in yourself to give more.. 

 I've found that listening to some spa therapy music assist in healing of the (7) chakras in our bodies, also balancing them to be in harmony. The way how God made our bodies are much more than meets the eye. Research what are chakras.

There are several medical problems that may arise with fasting, and for this reason, even though fasting may be beneficial, if it is carried on for longer than a day or two you need to keep on your guard for the following possible complications.

1. kidney stones

2. low blood pressure

3. Irregular heart beat

4. Gout

5. Headaches or light- headedness

6. Abdominal pain or nausea

7. Decreased urine output

8. Severe cramps

If any of these or other complications develop, the fast should be stopped immediately.

Wrinkles Naturally Eliminated - Naturally look young again!

A diet of acid-forming foods and combinations causes waste matter in the system, which in turn causes wrinkles and makes you look old. I have seen just a radical a change in a person as you see in the accompanying picture (Fig.1) 

The change occurred in a man with his skin wrinkled, yellow, and old-looking after he was put on a correct diet and given sweat baths and herbs to cleanse the bloodstream and intestinal tract. The change was so great that people who knew him said he looked 20 years younger. I have seen this change take a place many times. I, today, am a living example of such a change.

Story taken: Back to Eden page 650

Here is a recap of my before and after!

I am also living prove of change, and so could you!

Invest in Love Today!

Invest in love today, share what you know! Forgive the weak, it makes you stronger within. Speak you heart, not your mind, it makes life easier. To have a cleared conscious of no worries. Be careful, of who hands you eat from, for they may not cook with love. For energy can neither be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another. 

Learn about energies!

Use your natural senses, sight, sense of intuition etc..

Regardless, Never work alone, Always include God!

It is best to break the fast with something light such as fresh fruit.

October: Fruit Papaya & Benefits

The papaya, papaw, or pawpaw is the fruit of the plant Carica papaya, the sole species int the genus Carica of the plant family Caricaceae. It is a native to the topics of the Americas, perhaps from Southern Mexico and neighboring Central America.

Papaya fruit is an excellent source of dietary fiber, folate, vitamin A, C and E. It also contains small amount of calcium, iron, riboflavin, thiamine and niacine. It is also very rich in antioxidant nutrients flavonoids and carotenes, very high in vitamin C plus A, and low in calories and sodium.

Papaya plant. Note for the ripe papaya fruit. Young green fruits developing at the crown, a tea made of  boiled green papaya fruit helps reduce high blood pressure rapidly. 

Paw paw is rich is enzymes called papain and chymopapain which helps with the digestion, particularly it breaks down the proteins from the food we eat into amino acids. The latest research shows that amino acids are responsible for all what is happening in our organism, basically for what is happening in every chemical reaction as well as our mental and physical health.

As we age we produce less of the digestive enzymes in our stomach and pancreas, which leads to ineffective digestion of proteins. Due to this we end up with excess amount of undigested protein, which leads to overgrowth of the bad bacteria in our gastrointestinal system and not enough of amino acids to perform all important chemical reactions. We can say that good quality protein is absolutely essential for our healthy being. This is where the papaya enzymes can be beneficial.  

While I was visiting in Trinidad a few years ago, I remember my late god mother had a few paw paw trees out in the backyard. And she would encourage me to pick and part take in them. While, indulgent in this nice lovely musky sweet fruit, an episode of "America's next top model was showing at the given time in that particular series, the models stood before a table filled with different fruits for their natural facials which later entailed of the benefits each and everyone had. They had every fruit except " paw paw" so I decided they meant me since I've eaten down the fruit leaving the skin. I decided to take the challenge.

America's Next Top model 

So, I rubbed the inside of the fruit all over my face and neck, and left it on for about 15 minutes. When I rinsed if off it, surprisingly it left my skin, silky smooth, well moisturized also with a radiant pregnant glow.. leaving my God mother confused at the beautiful surprise  she then decided to try it out and was so over whelmed with the brilliant results. We both noticed now much the wrinkles in our skin had been massively been reduced. 

Vacation in Trinidad :)

Which made me more eager  to research the benefits of this marvelous fruit.

Papaya For A Glowing Skin

Papaya benefits the skin and it is an effective fruit facial. Papaya not only cleanses the skin but it is also known for glowing the skin as it contains papain which promotes skin renewal and cell turnover. Papain in papaya benefits skin by exfoliating it to reveal new cells and soften at the same time. Papain soap and moisturizers are sold in market due to its benefit on the skin. No wonder it has added apart of my natural skin care regimen!

Papaya benefits skin as it is rich in vitamin A, E and C and anti-oxidants which moisturize the skin and clears it from dirt and dark spots. Papaya can be used as facial scrub or face mask to cure acne, tan on the face aging skin etc. 

Papaya benefits on the skin are endless. So, use papaya on your face as a fruit mask and see the change in your complexion after a few weeks. As it is a natural skin care remedy, the result will not be immediate but it used properly, the results will be permanent.
