UK Fruitfest - a new path on my healing journey

UK Fruitfest, Dunfield House, Herefordshire, July 2022

I believe in a holistic way of approaching good mental, physical and emotional health and was lucky enough to have been invited to massage at the UK Fruitfest last week.

This experience of eating raw vegan was incredible. I had no idea I was about to embark upon a new path on my own healing journey, diving deeper into clearing deeply rooted and deeply held beliefs, mindsets and paradigms.

I spent the week both supporting others with treatments as well as embracing the raw vegan diet and realising just how much food can be an emotional crutch and a form of distraction from and denial of feeling deeper entrenched feelings and so a way of disconnection from the true self.

Whilst I already eat pretty cleanly for energy and vitality, this opportunity for being modelled best practice in terms of what and how to eat as well as all the health benefits of raw vegan eating, was a true gift.

I met and made wonderful friends from all over the world, and I felt welcomed and truly at home. It was a true retreat embracing all aspects of healing and health and I look forward to this new chapter in my life’s book!

Distraction is everywhere! If we allow ourselves to engage like a kid in a candy shop, taking it all in with gusto, we can end up frazzled and fragmented, feeling less than safe and sound within

Paying attention and tending to our body can pay dividends and engender trust in ourselves

While our mind can struggle to change its mind, our body offers the dynamic truth of our reality if we care to tune in and dare to trust it

Paying attention and tending to our body can pay dividends, engendering trust and allowing us to show up in life in a dynamic and flowing way rather than fixated rules and regulations made up by the mind to keep us safe and based on old paradigms that may no longer serve us.

Direct embodied experience offers us the informed decision making tool that the brain can’t offer

It’s only through direct embodied experience that we can make an informed decision about who we are and then really get to know ourselves

It’s only through direct embodied experience where can make an informed decision about who we are and then really get to know ourselves. Relying upon the brain is only part of the picture and a skewed one at that full of external influences and second hand beliefs
