health,The Joy ,Of Sprouting2 Hello My Raw Food Friends!         health,The Joy Of ,Sprouting2 Seems like a long time since I have posted a blog.  I guess you could say I took a Holiday Sabbatical to entertain family and friends as well as keep up with the demands of my work as a psychotherapist.  This can be a tough time of year for many and I am so grateful for the positive outlook on life I get from fueling myself with lots of fresh green foods!  Of course the time spent exercising, meditating, practicing yoga, mindfulness and other self care activities help too.  It all works together.  I was thinking about my Raw Food Journey for 2010.  What an adventure it has been.  Rick and I kicked off 2010 in Maui with the Raw Spirit Festival folks.  I am coming on my fourth year of eating mostly live foods.  I learned a lot and discovered more about the needs of my body.  One of my greatest joys this yea...

health, Energy Buzz Bars or Balls4, health Energy Buzz Bars or Balls Fall is upon us and it seems to get cooler by the day.  If your goal is to eat raw foods during the cooler months, investing in a dehydrator is a great idea as you can make some heartier meals and snacks that are very satisfying.  It is the raw foodists’ oven!!! Here is my new favorite breakfast and/or snack bar.  If you do not have a dehydrator, you can follow the non-dehydrator directions and make energy buzz balls instead.  Remember, there are always options with your food prepping and every area of your life.  Have fun, play, experiment, and keep enjoying the journey. Much love, Katy Joy Energy Buzz Bars These bars are great for breakfast on the go, travelling, or an afternoon pick-me-up snack.  They are also good in t he cooler months, as they are hearty and satisfying. (Makes approximately 12 bars) Ingredients: ½ cup flax seed – grind in high speed blende...

health, How to Increase Your Energy Level5, health, How to Increase Your Energy Level5, One of the fun benefits of eating mostly living foods and engaging in a healthy lifestyle is INCREASED ENERGY. Until recently, I felt amazing energized on a daily basis.  I relied on this energy to carry me through my intense week of serving others in a mental health setting and loving myself and others in my life.    So when my energy levels began to fluctuate I was confused about what was going on.  I went through a period where I was finding myself a bit fatigued and run down.  How could this happen?  I was exercising, eating lots of live foods, staying hydrated, meditating, practicing yoga, etc. It was not pleasant dealing with this at the time, but  now I find myself very grateful for the gift I received from the fatigue.  It gave me an opportunity to do some personal investigation.  It was a time to go within and deeply tune in...

Taking, Time To Pause6, new Taking, Time To Pause6,new Taking Time To Pause6, One of the wonderful benefits of practicing Mindfulness is slowing down more during each day to fully experience the moment at hand.  This sounds simple but is not always easy to do for those of us with busy schedules.  Consciously pausing is an art that needs to be cultivated.  It is a time to intentionally stop and breathe deeply, thus preventing negative thoughts and feelings from building.  With one mindful breath we can release negativity, accept a difficult situation, detach from an outcome and create room for more love and joy to fill our being.  It takes us out of automatic pilot mode.  We become more aware of what we are thinking, feeling, seeing, smelling, and hearing.  When we are living in the present and each experience is enhanced.   So how can we get in the habit of pausing more during our day? Put a post it note on your computer, ca...

The impact of, our environment and lifestyle The impact of, our environment and lifestyle There have been studies done on how our lifestyle choices and the environment we surround ourselves with have direct impact on our health and wellbeing. As I research more and more in to this topic I am finding from different sources, whether it’s a research study, an article or a book; our health is greatly influenced by the environment we live in and the lifestyle choice we make on day to day basis. In fact, our environment and life style factors have a far greater impact on our health than heredity and genetics. Last year I read a great book by Dr Todd that introduced me to a phenomenon called Sympathetic Dominance. The more I read on it the more I realised how deeply our everyday decisions on what to eat, how to tolerate stress, how to approach a health problem and what steps to take to resolve it, whether we are in a healthy loving relationship and have healthy social interac...
