Waves Of Healing

A swim in the ocean always leaves you feeling alive and cleansed – physically, emotionally and spiritually. The combination of sun, sea and sand is the most natural and easily accessible form of therapy available.

I am blessed enough to live by the ocean, & take advantage of it as often as I can! With the beginning of summer now upon us here in Australia I suggest a call to action for a much needed trip to the beach! Especially for those of you living in the city. Take some much needed time out after a busy year & indulge in the healing waves of our oceans.

A swim in the ocean always leaves you feeling alive and cleansed – physically, emotionally and spiritually. The combination of sun, sea and sand is the most natural and easily accessible form of therapy available.

Our oceans are magnesium-rich which helps relax your muscles, reduce stress & help with a good night’s sleep. It helps soothe rattled nerves & induces an increased sense of calmness. Just simply walking along the sand in itself is very grounding & great for balancing our root chakra by reconnecting our energy to the earth.

The sea mist that fills the air is packed full of negatively charged ions that help boost your immune system. Swimming in the ocean opens pores in the skin to allow the absorption of sea minerals and helps detoxify the body.  As an additional bonus you get the benefits of all the antibacterial healing properties of the ocean, which is great for acne prone skin!

My favourite part is that it helps dispel negative energy from the body! Between this, the beautiful sun acting as natural anti-depressant (be sure to slip slop slap!) & happy endorphins pumping through your veins from playing amongst the waves it’s a divine cocktail for pure happiness & absolute bliss.

Emotionally, physically & energetically clearing while leaving you completely refreshed & revived. Natures blissful waves of healing, most beautiful natural form of therapy available.

Embrace it & Enjoy!

1O FOODS THAT DETOX YOUR BODY NATURALLY

With the year coming to a close we may have let our health regimes slip a little so get a head start before the new year by giving your body a detox. Below are 10 foods that detox the body naturally. Enjoy!

  1. Fruits

Fruits are high in liquid-content, helping the body wash out toxins. They are also very easy to digest and are high in antioxidants, nutrients, fibre and important vitamins.

  1. Green Foods

Fill your refrigerator with barley, wheatgrass, kale, spinach, spirulina, alfalfa, chard, arugula or other organic leafy greens. These plants will help give a chlorophyll-boost to your digestive tract.

Chlorophyll rids the body of harmful environmental toxins from smog, heavy metals, herbicides, cleaning products and pesticides. They also aid the liver in detoxification.

  1. Lemons, Oranges, and Limes

Citrus fruit aids the body in flushing out toxins and jump starts the digestive tract with enzymatic processes. Lemon juice aids the liver in its cleansing processes. To increase detoxification, start each morning with a warm glass of lemon water.

Remember, vitamin C is one of the best detox vitamins around, as it transforms toxins into digestible material. Eat vitamin c foods often to help get more of these benefits.

  1. Garlic

This pungent little bulb is one of the best detoxing foods out there. It helps stimulate the liver into producing detoxification enzymes that help filter toxic residues from the digestive system. I recommend adding sliced or cooked garlic to a suitable dish, as this will help aid any detox diet.

  1. Broccoli Sprouts

Extremely high in antioxidants, the ability for broccoli sprouts to stimulate the detoxification enzymes in the digestive tract is unparalleled. The sprouts are actually more effective than the fully-grown vegetable.

  1. Green Tea

Packed full of antioxidants, green tea washes toxins from the system via its liquid content, but also contains a special type of antioxidant called catechins, which are known to increase liver function.

  1. Mung Beans

The mighty mung bean has been used by Ayurvedic doctors for thousands of years. It is incredibly easy to digest, and absorbs toxic residue on the sides of the intestinal walls.

  1. Raw Vegetables

Best for juicing or eaten raw: Onions, carrots, artichokes, asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, kale, brussel sprouts, cauliflower, garlic, beet, turmeric, and oregano. The combination of these foods will help your liver purge toxins during the cleansing process. These are high in naturally occurring sulphur and glutathione. Sulphur helps the liver detoxify harmful chemicals.

  1. Seeds and Nuts

Incorporate more of the easily digestible seeds and nuts into your diet. Flax seed, pumpkin seeds, almonds, walnuts, hemp seeds, sesame seeds, chia seeds, Siberian cedar nuts and sunflower seeds are all excellent options. While detoxing, avoid nut butters.

  1. Omega-3 Oils

Use hemp, avocado, olive oils or flax seed oil while detoxing. This will help lubricate the intestinal walls, allowing the toxins to be absorbed by the oil, and eliminated by the body.

Just by incorporating these foods into your daily eating regime you can easily start your detox & feel refreshed for the new year ahead today!
