Our friend Sarah is now selling 100% certified organic beauty products and cosmetics. This truly is the world’s only range of products which have been certified to soil
association standards (Australian Soil Association) and contain 100% all
organic ingredients. MiEssence organics have no impurities or synthetics in their make-up and I have certainly noticed a huge difference using them.

Filed under: Juice Fasting
Juice fasting is an amazing way to give your mind and body a total clear out. Giving your body a rest from the environmental and ingested poisons we subject ourselves to daily – eating processed foods, drinking alcohol and stressing out about unnecessary things… it all gets stored in the body at the cellular level and can lead to health problems if not released. A juice fast will allow your body to redirect energy from digestion towards clearing out those toxins and you will leave feeling lighter, clearer and happier! Juice fasting is also great for sustained weight loss, improved energy levels, helping with arthritis, skin conditions, IBS and other digestive problems, and autoimmune dysfunction. It can also help with PMS, fertility and menopause.

I discovered this yummy, raw, and filling breakfast the other morning. It’s a great energy booster in the morning, loaded with protein and complex carbohydrates. It’s a perfect alternative to those processed breakfast cereals or too stodgy porridges (or, even worse, a coffee and a donut!)
Here’s the recipe:
Dice one organic apple and place in a bowl.
Then add any combination of the following ingredients:
1 tsp. maca powder (if you don’t like maca, you can try mesquite powder)
1 tsp. ground flax seeds
1 tsp. raw honey or dark agave nectar
1 tsp. raw tahini
1 tsp. raw hemp seeds
2 tsp. soaked seeds, i.e. sunflower, pumpkin or a mixture of both
1 tsp. soaked raisins
This is the basic recipe, but you could also try some cacao powder, hemp or flax oil, lucuma, the sky is the limit!
We are holding our next retreats in the mountains of Southern Spain… the first week is going to be a healthy eating week – come and learn how to make raw chocolate pie, lasagne, curries, Japanese and Thai foods – all vegan, and free from gluten, dairy and processed sugar… it is a great way to learn how to introduce more vegetables into your diet. These healthy and nutritious foods will be complemented by great yoga classes taught by Louise Ramsden (see our team for more info -www.jivahealing.com/team)

In case existing friends and clients out there are a little confused by the name change… Ananda Health and Yoga (www.anandahealthandyoga.com) has indeed now changed its name to Jiva Healing. This was mainly due to the fact that there were too many others out there with the same name, and Jiva kind of rolls off the tongue more easily.
Jiva is Sanskrit for the embodied self – it means living or alive, individual soul, vital breath… you get the gist… We hope that we can embody that in our retreats and activities as Jiva Healing. Please keep in touch with us via our new email jivahealing@gmail.com
