I had about 25 responses to my The Power of Vulnerability post in last month's newsletter. It certainly struck a chord somewhere! Many people said how sharing my own tenderness had enabled them to open to their own (one reader said she was so moved that she'd spent hours crying tears of release and had felt a lot better as a result), others particularly resonated with Brene Brown's video (thank you, Alex, for sending in the link for that one) Read More...

To your radiant health! A first cappuccino with friend Alex at Cafe Mila in Godalming - my favourite coffee house of-the-moment. And boy, didn't it taste good! What was the first thing you introduced into your diet? I'd love to know. And don't leave it too long to let me know how you got on - and about any lasting effects you got from the 21-day detox programme! And, as I mentioned just yesterday, we're doing a gentler 'weekend detox' in June - to really set you up for summer! Join us! More on that soon Read More...

The road to heaven... ... is paved with good intentions! With three more days of the detox diet to go, today might be a good time to reflect on what the diet has done for us - and to set some intentions for positive changes we'd like to make in our lives as a result.

Five days to go So, there are only five more days of the detox diet programme to go! How do you feel? Are you managing to stick to the diet for the most part, or have you succumbed to more off-limits culinary delicacies than you would care to admit? In my eyes, it doesn't help to be too hard on yourself when you're following this dietary plan Read More...

Detox your relationships To create health, we need to enjoy healthy loving relationships. This is a core need at both the emotional and the spiritual level. The love we thrive on is the kind of love that does not judge us or require us to be one way or the other - what many people call unconditional love Read More...

Is something affecting your reception? With the mental clarity and increased energy that it brings, a detoxification diet is often a good time to assess your lifestyle - and make positive changes that will benefit you long-term. So today's question is - does your lifestyle suit you, or is there something, or several things, that are draining you of vital energy? This could be something as simple as sitting down in front of the television every night (is it really relaxing you as you think, or does it simply 'wind you up' so your nerves are all a-jangle and your sleep full of negative images?) Does your work make your heart sing, or do your colleagues sap you with their negative chatter, or the building you work in drain you? Set aside a time when you can spend some time alone Read More...
