HIGH re you ready for a wild fantastic journey that’s 20,000 light years from what you know? We’ve taken Lúcuma to a whole new level this time and hope you will be as astonished as we are! There is jaw-droppingly beautiful art from our old friend Louis Dyer, brand new ascension and third eye activating technology called AquaVibe, delicious raw food restaurants in L.A, the most orgasmic cookie recipes from the geniuses at Nama foods and a consciousness expanding article from me explaining many cutting edge spiritual concepts in a simple to understand way.

Rainbow tribe Reflecting on all the talented contributors and the many pioneering conscious businesses encompassing the globe that are featured in Lúcuma, I really feel that things have changed. We not only desire to see positive changes and to live in harmony with the Earth, but we are also creating it. We are making it happen. We are surely the ‘Rainbow Tribe’ that was prophesied by our tribal ancestors.

Chakra Rainbow Creators We are not just called the Rainbow generation because we are from different backgrounds and places. I feel it’s because we have a deeper understanding of what life is and what it is to be human. We are all light beams playing with light and creating from light, consciously using our chakras (our colour) to create. We are reconnecting and recalling what our ancient ancestors knew and indeed what we ourselves knew. But! We are also recreating, rewriting and reinventing!

MAGICAL LIVING by Steven Nicolaides

Is this a dream, or is this waking reality? As our frequency rises & we continue to develop our spiritual abilities, the dream-time worlds blend with our waking lives, and we discover that both are as ‘real’ as each other ARE YOU READY for

‘GOLDEN DOLPHIN’ I actually experienced this in the days leading to December 21st 2012. One night whilst in bed I was visited by a flying golden dolphin! It was nuzzling at my forehead giving me an attunement to my brain. That night in my dreams I ‘travelled’ to outer reaches of the universe. I observed how an advanced alien race live in a ‘wave-like’ state of joy and euphoria exploring the universe in gigantic living crystal craft. 6

MAGICAL LIVING

So what are the main tools for making life more Magical? Chances are if youâ€™re reading this, you are already practicing some of them. Other tools may require a re-write of old scripts you may have been running which are self defeating. Even surprisingly simple or subtle changes can have a dramatic affect on your waking and dream worlds. Dreams become more vivid and pleasurable. Lucid Dreaming will become more effortless - allowing you to explore dream scenarios and even change them. Miraculous events will occur more frequently and synchronicity will be as obvious as angels standing in the street holding signs up for you, with your name written on them.

Lucid Life The goal is to not just to be lucid in a dream, it is to be lucid in all realities and dimensions. What you do in your waking day affects what happens in your dream-time and visa versa. The two states of existence are linked. This is why a trauma in life can give rise to nightmares, or watching a movie that deeply touches you will influence your dreams. Therefore techniques that one applies in the waking world WILL have an effect in your dream world...

Ping Pong Since the two states of waking reality and dream reality are connected, we can find bridge moments between the two. These ‘bridge’ moments feel like energetic portals - because they are! They are direct links to your sub conscious mind! They can be triggered off by synchronicity which in turn triggers a ‘De ja vu’ feeling. Often you may come across a situation that you only dreamt about the night before and yet you have found yourself in the same situation! This is becoming dream world lucid in waking life! Effectively you are holding on to a dream world frequency in the waking world. The opposite of this is becoming conscious (lucid) in a dream. In that situation you are holding onto a waking consciousness within a dreaming consciousness. Becoming aware of these moments makes life much more dream like, flexible & miraculous. You can literally turn around and see your name on a car license plate. You can be in a supermarket and somebody shouts out the thing you forgot to buy, you can be walking down the street and see the answer to a problem, you can have your theories confirmed to you straight way through synchronicity and you can feel like you have skipped into parallel realities with ease.

In the ping pong analogy this would be your subconscious mind hitting the ball back at you, - not to ignore, as we may have done in the past, but to actually return the ball! Understand the theme of this energetic portal, and expand on the theme or even set a new theme

What is this awareness good for? • Guidance for life themes • Making big changes to your life. • Understanding how your reality is created • Meeting people that enhance your life • Discovering new places & opportunities that normally were out of range • Becoming aware of parallel realities & using them to your advantage • Clearing problems which are preventing progress in your dream or waking life

Saving Grace Life as we know it is assembled frame by frame just like a movie, except that the frame rate is a lot higher than 24 frames per second! We know this because people can, speedup or slow-down their frame rate of perception. Ever noticed how the journey home is quicker than the first journey from your home to the destination? Taking this further some people have actually seen time stop! I personally have heard accounts of people experiencing the outside world as motionless whilst they have remained in motion. On one occasion I was laying on the floor and wanted to move to the couch. When I was half way there. I froze in time! I could not move any further. It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on me! I couldn’t even advance my thinking forward! It was only the fact that I was standing in an awkward position in-between sitting and standing that I was able to recognise what I was in the middle of doing and break out of it. This experience helped me become more aware of the frames of reality that most people are not. It took my synchronicity perception to another level and helped me understand the value of slowing down. If you are ever lucky enough to see glimpses of higher dimensional realms such as the angelic realms or even see divine entities such as Arch Angels or Christ, you will notice how they move at a more flowing, graceful rate than this world. Why? Because they exist at a much higher frame rate.

Become faster by getting slower So how can we increase our awareness of these bridge moments? Luckily there is a state of being which can help in every area of life from lucid dreaming to the way you relate to others and to what you create. It is a state of absolute, balance, lucidity, awareness and relaxation. It is the journey into your core - an absolute zero of being so that all that does not serve you will fall away and the mind returns to its pristine state, able to be conscious of those lost frames and live at a higher frame rate. I call it the CENTRE POINT but In the current spiritual scene it known as the ‘Zero point consciousness’ because it is a state of nothingness and peace, although different people and teachers attach their own meanings, this is my definition. I present four techniques to help you live in the zero point frequency, that I have used successfully and have taught to others. They are amazingly simple so that anyone can use them; surrender meditation, walking meditation, third eye alignment and alternate nostril breathing technique.

MAGICAL LIVING

Surrender Meditation The key to the Zero point consciousness One of the m o st p ow erf u l en erg et i c stat es w e can be i n i s a stat e o f su rren der to t h e di v i n e. Often this comes in peak states brought about by things like dancing, music, spiritual activities and pleasure. But it can also be invoked through meditation. The secret to the success of this meditation is that you are not really doing anything, which is the path that lets you journey to the sanctuary of your own core. S i t c o m f o r ta b ly

I sometimes do this sitting back against a tree, as this amplifies my frequency

Yo u r r o ot s

Close your eyes and become aware of your feet, legs and pelvis

N ow f e e l yo u r MID D LE

Feel grateful for your breathing no matter how weak it feels. Allow yourself to inhale and exhale gently.

N ow FEEL YOUR TO P

Become aware of your shoulders, neck and head.

S urrend er to YOUR HI G H ER S ELF & t h e d i vi n e e n e r g y abov e yo u The feeling you want is similar to when you are in a deep state of relaxation and surrender as if you were laying on a beach - content and at one with your surroundings.

TH E UN WI N D I N G

Enjoy this feeling of just ‘being’ for as long as possible. For the first 5-15 minutes there will be an ‘unwinding’ sensation in your energetic field as knots of energy are undone and things that no longer serve you vanish.

LUMI N OU S W H ITE LI G H T

At around 15 minutes you may start to feel a column of white light entering you from your crown chakra (above your head). This is a natural energy connection we all have that is now being increased.

COOL

As you journey closer into the zero point you will start to feel a cooling sensation all around you. Now you know you are really there. You may notice that your breathing rate is faster and deeper. Through your minds eye you will see yourself immersed in luminous white light. Now you should feel like you don’t want to leave... and you don’t have to. You can incorporate this attunement into your life.

MAGICAL LIVING

IN THE ZERO POINT YOU ARE NOTHING, BUT BECAUSE YOU ARE NOTHING YOU CAN BE EVERY THING

# 6

MAGICAL LIVING

WALKING MEDITATION The goal is to move as slowly and as gracefully as possible. To place each foot on the Earth with the lightest touch. Get slower and slower with each step you make until you are moving in slow motion effortlessly, without any jerky movements or losing your balance. Replace jerky interrupted movement with grace, flow and presence. Try and get as slow as possible. The slower the better. Do this outdoors in nature if you can. Bare foot is even better to feel the connection to your home, the mother Earth. As you move more slowly and flow more gracefully, you will find you are increasing your frame rate. You are becoming aware of more moments than you were before. From here you have found more time. From here you can observe yourself from a distance. From here the gap between you and the outside world is larger.

Answer the call of the third eye The third eye is one of the most important chakras for spiritual mastery. Biologically it’s centre is the pineal gland which is a tiny cone shaped gland in the centre of the brain, but it also integrates with the rest of the brain and in particular the hypothalamus, pituitary gland and ears. The hypothalamus, pituitary gland and pineal gland are all essential hormone regulators. They release hormones (chemicals which regulate bodily functions) and their healthy function is vital for overall health and wellbeing. The Hypothalamus helps control; body temperature, hunger, important aspects of parenting & attachment behaviors, fatigue, sleep and circadian cycles. The Pituitary gland helps control; growth, blood pressure, some aspects of pregnancy & childbirth, breast milk production, sex organ function, thyroid gland function, the conversion of food into energy (metabolism), water regulation in the body, temperature regulation and pain relief. The Pineal gland helps control sexual development and sleep-wake cycles through the hormone Melatonin and helps produce dimethyltryptamine (DMT) - (a psychedelic compound also found in plants and in high concentrations in plants used for shamanic rituals such as ayahuasca)

Rhythm of Life Hormones are the way our emotional primal spiritual selves are expressed in the physical world. They can be created and influenced by desires, feelings, and external stimulus. They also feedback onto themselves and are self regulating. The whole human hormonal system can be looked at cyclically. Cycles within cycles. It is therefore vitally important to get into your own natural healthy routine, your own rhythm of life suited to your own cycle. The more you follow the cycle, the more in harmony you will be with your body and the greater the communication with your third eye. It will teach you how to read it’s signals, and you will be able to hear it’s voice. Your own third eye can teach you far better than I for it has known your essence from the beginning. It can perceive all you ever were and all you ever will be. Doesn’t that sound like something you would want to know? One of the most important natural cycles is the Circadian rhythm also known as the ‘internal clock’. We need adequate levels of sunlight/daylight and darkness in order for the correct hormones to be synthesised and secreted at the right times. Yet in modern life we resist this. We start the day by being shocked awake to the sound of an alarm instead of the gentle light rays of sunrise, we stay indoors under artificial lights instead of natural light and we stare at flickering screens late into the night when our primal self desires the fading of daylight into twilight and darkness. The third eye itself contains a circle at its centre which flickers between white to black. It is at its most active at night when it wants to take us into the dream worlds hence the feelings of tiredness and sleepiness. So watching TV or using computers (which also flicker) late at night before bed are counterproductive if your desire is to have a good nights sleep or lucid dream. My personal recommendation is to avoid watching television or using computers at least 1 hour before bed.

â€˜CATS PURPLE RAINâ€™ This image is based to 2 visions I have seen. The first was seeing a vivid column of purple light entering a cats head, the second my own third eye chakra. The purple is the first colour that rains down the source energy of white and enters us through our crown chakra. A maroon redish colour enters us through our root chakra which is the first colour to come out of black.

Get to know your Third eye The third eyes nature is that it sees all, both the good and the bad. It’s pivotal role in your existence is why your third eye integrates with your over soul and ego, controlling your entire experience. Any freedom or control you think you have is a measure of how much liberty the third eye has given you.

Third eye Alignment Meditation Alignment of the third eye is essential for good conscious connection and a good dreaming experience whether it is Lucid or not. This is the technique I developed to connect with my third eye, so it is tried and tested! This meditation is best practiced in a dark room before sleeping. RELAX Sit in a comfortable position and close your eyes Relax for the first few minutes to release the pressures and worries of the day Focusing of the lens Still keeping your eyelids down, ask your third eye to show you where to focus with your physical eyes, Say, “My Third Eye, show me where to look”. You should see a response from the third eye in the form of something standing out in the darkness usually around the area near the middle of your forehead although it may get you to focus on the corners of your peripheral vision, so a spot can appear anywhere. It may be a small blob of brown or grey or even a bright colour. Whatever it is focus with your physical eyes on that mark. Soon after something else will catch your attention. Switch your gaze to that point and continue the process until you feel you are in alignment. Ear pressure balance & Ujjayi At this stage you will notice your breathing sounds have changed. The breath naturally wants to switch to ‘Ujjayi’ breathing as it is known in Yoga. The Ujjayi is invoked because the brain waves have changed from waking to meditative. The consciousness has also moved closer to the centre of the mind due to the meditation. The breathe becomes more throat based which creates a characteristic ‘rushing’ sound. Like the breeze rustling the leaves in a tree, or the sound of the ocean. You can now consciously breathe this way to enhance it and direct it to each ear. The body now wants to create balance in the air pressure of both ears. Ujjayi breathing is essential for deep meditative sates as it supports you in the journey of spiritual exploration.

THE THIRD EYE CHAKRA An elliptical shape like the one in the centre of this page is an indication the third eye is aligned. What you are seeing is its presence and it is ready to open up a bit more or communicate something with you. Pay attention to the colour. Sometimes it can appear green, purple or blue. These correspond to the colours of the other chakras and indications of what energy you may need to use. For example Green = Heart = love

THE TRIANGLE From this point your physical eyes will be used less. The information you are seeing is being perceived more by the third eye. Your three eyes together form an internal triangle with the third eye in the centre of the forehead. When all three eyes are used in unison psychic phenomena appear supper-imposed on physical reality. When the third eye sees alone, you are no longer in physical reality! (For advanced practitioners you may feel the physical eyes â€˜switch offâ€™ and the third eye open to a gigantic size encompassing the entire head) LET THE SHOW BEGIN The first few occasions I saw & felt visions, including other life forms in my minds eye during meditations, I jumped or even gasped because they were so fantastic. Scenes that make the movie Avatar look boring! They can at times be so astoundingly beautiful they can knock you out of the meditative state. The trick is to be able to hold the state - again the state of grace and the techniques outlined earlier will help with this. Some visions may appear inside your mind and others just outside your body with a depth to them, similar to viewing a 3D movie. CLOSE DOWN & PREPARE FOR SLEEP It is important to prepare for sleep with a calm mind and a clear energetic field. Do a quick clearing by letting go and going to ZERO point. Set your intention for a good nights sleep or Lucid dream if necessary, and above all follow any tiredness signals the third eye sends.

ALTERNATE NOSTRIL BREATHING This is a classic breathing technique used in Yoga. it helps unblock the energy around the nose and head and also balance out breathing between each nostril. I started using this as a child after seeing it in a yoga book as a cure for insomnia. The Balanced flow of energy around the head helps Support the psychic abilities.

Itâ€™s worth understanding that a blockage around the nose or head area may be due to a blockage elsewhere in the body 1. START: Gently hold your left nostril closed with your thumb.

AQUA VIBE A Revolutionary New Healing & Spiritual Exploration Tool for the 21st Century by Steven Nicolaides

AQUAVIBE

t Lúcuma Magazine we have a motto; “Surfing the waves of change”, so when I received an invitation from 20:20 Healing arts centre to “surf the AquaVibe revolution” I was very intrigued and excited to try this newly developed healing device. The AquaVibe itself looks like something straight out of a Sci-Fi movie. It has a glowing light running along the sides for no other reason other that to look cool! On the front there are lots of buttons and controls for the operator if they need to tailor make the experience for the client, although there are preset programmes all ready set up.

So how does it work?

AquaVibe is based on the principles of vibro acoustics. The client lies on the bed which is filled with water. Pure sinusoidal waves are sent through the liquid membranes which vibrate and resonate. To completely immerse the client in the experience, they wear headphones through which binaural beats are embedded in relaxing music. They also wear glasses which have LED lights on the inside that send light pulses. The whole experience is fully synchronised. This results in complete mind and body relaxation, increased muscle tone, greater sense of well being and a total energy boost for the cells in your body. But the AquaVibe does much more that this. From a spiritual perspective it works on a deep cellular level stimulating your entire being even the subtle energy bodies. It activates the third eye and can even generate ‘Ascension’ like experiences.

My Experience

I laid on the AquaVibe and Anne-Marie fitted the glasses and headphones on me, My AquaVibe experience began with a consultation with a qualified practitioner. it isn’t long then pressed the start button. The journey had begun! There was no messing around, In my case it was Anne-Marie Riccardi one before your immediately I felt the vibrations coming of the founders of the 20:20 Healing Arts Centre and developer of the AquaVibe. third eye up from below in time with the musical sound track. The flashing red LED light in Anne-Marie’s enthusiasm is infectious. She kicks in then the the glasses began pulsating. It is quite is truly passionate about what she does and it’s refreshing to see someone who can visions come bright so one does have to keep their ‘physical’ eyes closed. But it isn’t long understand spiritual concepts as well as the in thick and before your third eye kicks in then the scientific world. In fact Anne-Marie has a visions come in thick and fast.

But then there were flashes of a different techniques of healing. colour. The LED lights flash red so I knew what I was Since I had no injuries that required healing or a need seeing was in my mind! Later into the experience there for balancing/relaxation, Anne-Marie decided the best were flashes of geometric patterns and other programme for me to try on the AquaVibe would be ‘The kaleidoscopic scenes. What amazed me was how quickly Explorer’. This programme is more of a stimulation of the scenes would appear and then morph into the next spirit and body so one can ‘explore’ their subconscious vision.

AquaVibe however is like driving at 100 mph on a motorway. Just as soon as you see something it’s gone and then there is something new that grabs your attention. At 15 minutes into the experience I felt as if I was in a Lucid dream! I had taken my full waking consciousness into an altered state. The headphones on my ears suddenly morphed into the hands of a woman and the water beneath me felt like an ocean. The sound waves pulsating through my body felt like they were being generated by the singing of Dolphins and Whales! Absolutely fantastic! The experience itself lasted 20 minutes but it felt like only 5 minutes. When it was over I really didn’t have a clue where or when I was! I had never experienced anything like this before! It felt like a Lucid dream but wasn’t. I felt energised yet relaxed. In addition to this towards the end of the experience I started to feel a past life memory coming up (and it wasn’t a pleasant one) - activated from the vibrations to my cells. Past lives are always impacting on our current lives especially if an experience or situation of a similar vibration triggers them off. Most people don’t notice this but those on the spiritual development path tend to be more aware of this. As I filled in the feedback form I could barely piece a sentence together yet I was giggling (a common symptom of peak spiritual experiences) for no apparent reason.

Later in the day when I was at home, I felt the toning of my body that was expected. I could feel something was going on in my cells but not quite sure what. That night I experienced some more visions. I often see visions before bed time, but this time I knew it was due to the AquaVibe. Firstly my spirit guide showed me an image of someone looking through a microscope. This told me I was now having a closer look at what was going on at a cellular level and perhaps at an even higher magnification! I could see and feel the millions of microscopic life forms that live within the human body, from bacteria to yeasts, and was aware that they had a consciousness, or that they were at least able to perceive. I also saw a tiny creature that looked like a plant seed only it had eyes, which at first startled me but then I realised it was packaged information just like a seed. However the information it carried was in relation to me! There were a few other visions beyond my recollection which were then followed by a surge of energy (chi) entering my body from the base of my spine and being stored in my kidneys. In traditional Chinese medicine the kidneys are referred to as our energy store, much like a battery. It was great to actually see and feel this happen!

PSYCHEDELIA The AquaVibe induces amazing visions and astonishingly bright and vivid colours

AquaVibe

My 2nd Experience

A few weeks later I had an opportunity for another surf of the AquaVibe, and this time the visions were more vivid. I engaged more with what I was seeing and I was also able to enhance their clarity and hold on a particular vision. There experience was therefore much more revealing. For a fleeting moment I saw a spirit guide touch my energetic body. Again I saw the stimulation of the micro organisms of the body and could feel their presence. I received confirmation from my third eye that the AquaVibe does indeed stimulate and activate the third eye. It presented me with a magnificent vision of a pyramid with a floating capstone emanating light.

The Verdict

The AquaVibe does take some getting use to but once you do it is an incredibly powerful spiritual tool that one can use to explore various states of consciousness and dimensions. AquaVibe is such a unique experience and so new I cannot really compare it to anything else. It’s like mixing meditation, chanting, yoga, acupuncture, massage, reiki, lucid dreaming and a flotation tank all together! Currently there are only three in the world but there is already interest from Spa’s to use them as relaxation tools.

Try it yourself!

ENTRANCE OF THE 20:20 u HEALING ARTS CENTRE

Location

20:20 Healing Arts Centre is located in the Canary Wharf peninsula of East London. Despite this area being a major global financial hub it has a very clam and peaceful energy. Perhaps because the peninsula itself is surrounded by the flow of the river thames and there are many large water docks interspersed between the buildings. The 20:20 Healing Arts building also has a peaceful energy within it and some say the building acts as a faraday cage due to its exterior steal bars (keeping the healing energy inside the building). Whatever the reason, the location couldn’t be better for a healing. My advice for anyone receiving a healing at 20:20 Healing Arts Centre or indeed any kind of healing in general, is to postpone traveling home afterwards or an hour or two to give the mind, body and spirit time to integrate. The London Docklands is a good place for relaxing walks and there are plenty of coffee shops and food outlets to use. There are even two Crussh juice bars near Canary Wharf tube station (A takeaway outlet in the Tower Concourse and a larger one inside Jubilee Place mall)

The Egypt Connection

I always felt that Canary Wharf had an ancient temple energy about it. There are many grand well designed buildings around the site as well as water features made from granite stone. Even the pavements of Canary Wharf are made out of granite (a favourite building material of many ancient cultures including the Egyptians). The most well known building in Canary Wharf is One Canada Square, which has a pyramid on its roof and a blinking light at the very top that can be seen from all over London. In fact the whole of this area is full of pyramids and triangles. The Egypt connection doesn’t stop there. There is a building called ISIS house a few doors away to 20:20 Healing Arts (Isis is an important ancient Egyptian deity) and the Four Seasons Hotel has so many Egyptian features, it looks like it was transported from ancient Egypt! So what is the reason for all these connections, did the various independent architects and designers plan all of this? Of course not, but on a much higher spiritual level I’m sure there is a grand plan. The spirit of the same idea that creates the original culture also influences other times and places so that the same work and themes can continue n

CAFE GRATITUDE

My mecca, my raw home. A restaurant where the hipster spiritual chic staff smile and embrace each other with the kind of genuine love that I normally only see at spiritual gatherings. Where an incident that creates a broken glass is softened by the team with clapping and cheering. Where two waiters on taking orders from their tables meet by chance and dance their way back to the kitchen. More than just a restaurant this is a community, and mistakes and happiness for no reason are warmly welcomed here. There are sentiments of awakening and love adorning the walls, the water bottles and even the crockery. With a menu made of affirmations to name the delightful dishes each one begins with ‘I am…’ Thereby providing the diner the opportunity to ask for their meal through affirming something wonderful about themselves... For example: ‘I am cherished’, ‘I am courageous’ etc. On receiving your ordered dish from the waiter your meal is repeated back with ‘You are…’ and the self love journey is continued. I was prepared for a magical experience after watching the life changing film ‘May I be Frank’, made by the sons of the owners, but I couldn’t have anticipated how good it really was. It’s true, it’s real. Love really does run this place.

As I receive my ‘I am awakening’ aptly named raw key lime pie, my waiter tells me “You are awakening”. I think he is right. I feel like my whole being is opening up in this place. The key lime pie is beyond amazing. Light, creamy, tangy. An alchemy of avocado lime custard topped with coconut meringue in a pecan macadamia date crust. Simply devastatingly good. I’m in love. To continue this wonderful journey into my soul my plate asks me...’what are you grateful for?’ My answer is...in this moment everything! I could not be more delighted! My ‘I am luscious’ smoothie is the perfect companion. Almond milk, figs, dates, raw cacao and vanilla bean whipped together to create chocolatey deliciousness.

I’m converted. I want to give up my life as I know it and come and work here and be surrounded by this glorious food and this evolutionary lifestyle. I’m so grateful for this cafe. I’m so grateful to the founders, the staff and everyone who subscribes to this way of life. Just when I thought my experience couldn’t get any better the waitress comes up and asks me “would you like to know the question of the day?” I could barely contain myself... ‘What are you creating today?’ I am creating the possibility that I can eat here every day! Moments later one of the stars and producers of the ‘May I be Frank’ film sits next to me with one of his employees and starts talking about a feed the

homeless project and managing a team with love. I took my chance and asked the question…”when will Café Gratitude come to London?” Cary smiled and says he “would love that”. I took home a happy stomach, a happy vibe and a whole new perspective on what is possible from a place of love, service and raw food :) And the story didn’t end there! In my two days in LA I managed to eat breakfast, lunch & dinner at this marvel of a café which is so much more than just that, it is a community in the making and a community all

about creating. Moral of the story is…go as often as you can, and try as much of the menu as possible and be part of the community. The experience and the food will not only nourish your body, but also your soul. Be in the know: go early or expect to queue or be disappointed. This cafe has only been open 5 months, but their following is already super strong and I can totally see why!

EUPHORIA LOVES RAWVOLUTION 38

A funky name for a grungy, hip, unassuming raw cafe that fits nicely into the chilled vibe of Main Street. Nestled amongst quirky alternative stores and opposite the blossoming Santa Monica community garden, this is a relaxed and less health conscious but more local raw experience. With the titles of burgers, rolls, pizza, pasta and Mexican on the mains menu you could be mistaken to think you’ve walked into just any cafe. Unlike other raw cafes no philosophy lines the walls. In its place are pieces of edgy street art mixed with cheesy symbols of spirituality. Funky tunes, an urban vibe and a seat yourself policy make this place somehow homely and charming. The one staff member is warm, humble and attentive to the best of his ability. With the majority of the menu focussing on the hearty meals and creamy drinks that are typical of the American diet this isn’t the most health conscious raw cafe, however perhaps they are providing a service beyond what some of their peers have managed by enticing the wary meat eater to try one of their familiar sounding meals and be amazed by how tasty raw can be! I ordered the most typically American thing on the menu - chips and bacon burger. My chips are made of kale, my bacon is coconut jerky! Entirely wheat, dairy, gluten and soy free this burger is an

unexpected delight. It’s actually the best burger I’ve ever tasted! Raw or not. Yummy onion bread, lettuce, coconut jerky, kale chips, tomatoes and cashew mayo combine to create something really flavoursome and delightful! I am wowed by the deliciousness of this raw burger. My delight is profound as I was actually expecting something much less tantalising. To top off my taste bud bursting burger I selected a cinnamon roll on recommendation from my waiter. This guy knows his sweets! Buckwheat granola, walnuts and a heavy amount of cinnamon for the crust. The inside of this beauty is a cream made from coconut cream, vanilla and cashews with cinnamon and coconut nectar. My

neighbour to my right hints with his eyes that he is intrigued what a spongy looking cake is like when it’s not baked! We agree to share our desserts after I enquire about the taste of his fluorescent chocolate spirulina torte. It might be hard to make friends with salad, but you can sure make friends with sweets I’m grateful for peeling myself away from the upbeat energy of Cafe Gratitude to sample this fare. Although the crowds and the celebs are abundant at Cafe Gratitude for they are creating something truly special, the understated fabulousness of Rawvolution definitely deserves a stop on any raw foodies trip.

TIPS

ur bodies are constantly being exposed through land, air and water to a wide spectrum of toxins that our ancestors never had to deal with.

living in harmony with the natural laws that enable their bodies to detoxify on a daily basis.

MAGICAL - MYSTICAL -

WATER

“Be still like a mountain, flow like a river” - ancient proverb In eastern traditions, inadequate water intake is attributed to a lack of flowing chi/energy in the body. Distinguished Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto, author of best selling ‘Hidden Messages in Water’, has demonstrated through photography that water changes its structure according to; projected thoughts, words, music and environmental influences. Water intake is crucial for health in order to assimilate nutrients, for cellular oxygenation, and to help flush toxins from the body. Be sure to drink 8 glasses of pure water daily, and from time to time, imbue it with positive thoughts and affirmations in order to enhance its multiple life force benefits.

2. THINK GREEN

The colour green is found in abundance in nature all throughout the year. It is equated with peaceful and harmonising emotions among indigenous communities. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, green foods are known to enhance the health of the liver and assist in opening up its detoxification pathways. Vibrant green chlorophyll found in plants is almost identical in composition to human blood, and it is otherwise known as ‘liquid sunshine’. Therefore, water rich green leaves, green vegetables, wheat grass juice and fresh green vegetable juices, are an integral part of any detox/health programme.

3. SKIN BRUSHING

The skin is the body’s largest organ of elimination, and dry skin brushing is a great way to stimulate lymph flow, and to remove surface toxins on the skin. Use an all natural dry skin brush before showering. Starting from the feet, gently brush on the outside of the legs in large sweeping motions, move up towards the heart, raising both arms up and continuing to brush each arm on the outside down towards the body. Try to incorporate this invigorating way to start your day several times a week and soon you won’t want to live without it.

4. SWEAT IT OUT

Exercise is a very important part of a detoxification protocol. It enhances circulation, lymph flow, cellular oxygenation, along with releasing numerous toxins through the sweat glands. Try power walking in nature, or short intensive interval training circuits, to fast track fat reduction and thus eliminate stored toxicity. The feel good factor that comes with the release of endorphins, positively impacts ones mental and emotional health as well. Incorporate saunas into your detox programme, and seek out infra red saunas if possible, as they really target deeply embedded toxins in the cells of the body. # 6

10 DETOX TIPS

5. KEY SUPER-FOODS Add in rejuvenating chlorella to your juices and smoothies, or eat alone in-between meals. This ancient green algae repairs DNA and RNA within the cells along with removing heavy metals and carcinogenic compounds from the body. Mineral rich seaweed is an amazing superfood and is very beneficial during these times of ever increasing exposure to radiation. Different types have different health properties, all of which help to nourish the body and eliminate toxicity. Importantly, seaweed is able to both enhance and protect the health of the thyroid gland - and it helps to remove radiation and heavy metals from the body! Another incredible superfood with very potent medicinal properties are sprouts. These are literally a powerhouse of nutrients that have between 20 to 30 times the nutritional value than the full grown vegetable. There are a wide spectrum of seeds that can be germinated and enjoyed for health benefits. Some of the all stars for a detox programme include: Broccoli sprouts for anti-cancer properties, Mung beans for digestibility and a rich source of zinc, and try adding Sunflower seed sprouts to your green juices, for an added source of complete protein to stabilise blood sugar.

6. CLUTTER CLEAR

Clutter clear your home. Aim to reduce the amount of stuff that we all tend to sentimentally hoard like; old magazines, cards, books, kitchenware and old clothes. Pass on to others, or give to charity and feel the lightness of being that follows. Space clearing creates a sense of order and calm in our often all too busy lives.

LOVE YOUR LIVER

Liver health is essential when working on detoxification. It is the grand filter and essential detoxifier organ. The state of health of the liver will determine how efficiently itâ€™s able to release toxins out of the body. Signs of liver congestion include: headaches, skin disorders, nervous tension, anger, impatience and moodiness. In Traditional Chinese Medicine the flavour sour helps to target and open the liver detoxification pathways. Add in sour foods such as lemons, limes, raw sauerkraut and green apples, in order to help the liver to detoxify and maintain balance. Other key herbs and foods for liver detox include; dandelion (roots & leaves), milk thistle, onions & garlic, artichokes, olive oil and of course green vegetables!

10 DETOX TIPS

8. NATURES RHYTHMS Working with the seasons is one way to enhance our bodies ability to thoroughly detoxify. In Ayurveda and Chinese medicine, starting from Vernal Equinox, the expansive energies of early spring are the ideal time to work on elimination via the liver. It’s also beneficial to schedule in a detox during the warm summer months up until the Autumn Equinox. Tune into the lunar cycles. Ancient cultures and bio-dynamic farmers, have long been aware of the benefits of working with the different phases of the moon when it comes to health and crop cultivation. The ideal time to work on detoxification is after the full moon, during the waning moon period and up until the day of the new moon, for this is the time of the moons cycle that optimises healing and elimination. Try it and notice the difference!

9. ELIMINATION Colon health is key when it comes to detoxification. When the colon is sluggish, food waste is reabsorbed through the bowel wall and back into the blood stream, which then perpetuates further toxicity and internal ‘murky pond syndrome’. Increase the food transit time by including lots of fibrous vegetables. Add in colon cleansing support such as: Aloe Vera juice, Psyllium seed husks and Triaphala used in Ayurvedic medicine. For deeper cleansing, consult with an experienced colonic hydrotherapist to assist in thorough removal of toxic waste buildup.

10. RELEASE

WHAT NO LONGER SERVES YOU Detoxification means to let go, and release, what it is that no longer serves us on different levels including; food, drinks, addictive patterns, old stories, beliefs and toxic relationships. In doing so, we allow the space to welcome in the new, better appreciate living in the moment, and to live life full of exuberance, creativity and joy-filled moments!

OM NOMS GO OUT & BUY GO MACRO BARS! Finally a fabulous product from the USA, and with a gorgeous label design. We were starting to think there wouldn’t be any! Of course a cool label isn’t enough to make a product sell if the food inside isn’t good enough, but luckily in this case, it is! All the bars in the range are vegan and as the name suggests are influenced by the macrobiotic diet. There are eight flavour combinations in the range so plenty of variety. My favourites are Sunny uplift (cherries & berries) and you cant go wrong with protein pleasure (peanut butter & chocolate chip!) www.gomacro.com

BEOND AMAZING Beond - a range of yummy raw vegan bars have recently had a re-branding, and added two new flavours, Blueberry and Apple & Cinnamon. I quite like both of them as they seem different to what is out there at the moment. If you like blueberries you will really love the blueberry bar as you get the blueberry hit as soon as you bite into it. Beond have also released small bite size versions of the bars (15g), including the two existing flavours Raw Chocolate and Acai berry. www.pulsin.co.uk

PULSE RAISING BAR I really can’t get over how soft and creamy this bar is. I even had to check the label to make sure that it was indeed vegan. It has the same creamy texture as soft “melt in your mouth” fudge and it tastes like the best cookies you have ever eaten. This is going to be a best seller for sure. www.pulsin.co.uk

RAWLICIOUS SNACKEROONS This new raw snack from Rawlicious is already one of my favourites. The are essentially small raw vegan cookies, and they are scrumptious! They taste just as good as any cooked cookie and they even have the same texture. They are quite sweet and I like the ginger zinginess. Don’t expect the packet to last long though! www.rawlicious.eu # 6

INSTANT IMMUNITY We are big fans of the instant range from Finnish company Four Sigma Foods. They specialise in individual sachets of longevity super mushrooms. The great thing is they make these difficult to find (and use) mushrooms accessible by adding stevia to sweeten and some other herbs and spices to improve the flavour. All you have to do is add hot water and milk and you have a great tasting, immune system boosting drink! There are 6 super mushrooms in the INSTANT range; Chaga, Cordyceps, Reishi, Lions Mane, Shitake, and Maitake. Each has its own particular properties and I personally feel the effects soon after drinking them. They are not called super mushrooms for nothing! www.fsfstore.com
