APRIL 2017 NEWSLETTER
Easter arrives this month and is a much welcome holiday for many. This year I will be taking Good Friday and Easter Saturday off but will be working the rest of the holiday period as usual.

This Newsletter includes a link to this month's blog about Spiritual Eating where you will find out more about the rainbow diet, high vibration foods, mindful eating and the practice of non-harmfulness and the many benefits of spiritual eating.
This month I will be running a Faery Blessing Workshop on Sat 22nd April (details below). Places are available so do please contact me if you would like to book.

HEALING - THE RAINBOW DIET
A Rainbow Diet includes foods of all the different colours of the 7 main energy centres or chakras. Certain colour foods energise the chakra of the same colour, for example red foods energise the root chakra, yellow foods energise the solar plexus. A Rainbow Diet helps to provide you with a full range of nutrients. Food colours we are attracted to temporarily reflect the immediate nutritional needs of the body. Foods of colours we dislike will provide the nutrition and colour energy we are lacking. If you have an aversion to a particular colour, it would be worth trying to introduce foods of that colour into your diet to help your body with its healing.
Over the next 7 months I will be focusing on the foods you can eat to energise each chakra. I will also provide a smoothie recipe (nicknamed the Chakra Shakes by my family!) whose colour relates to each chakra in turn so that you can have a go at making your own delicious health food to nourish each chakra. This month I will be starting with the Root Chakra.
Root Chakra - Red
Red foods are good for increasing vitality. They are generally rich in minerals and provide good sources of protein. Red deficiencies are indicated through low energy levels, anaemia, light-headedness and lack of stamina. Red coloured fruit and veg provide the anti-oxidant lycopene which has the ability to lower the risk of some cancers, protect against heart disease and urinary tract infections, help improve memory and protect the brain from disease.
Red fruit: Strawberries, cherries, raspberries, pomegranates, red apples, cranberries, red watermelon, goji berries, tomatoes.
Red veg: Red cabbage, beetroot, radish, red peppers, red onion, radicchio, chillies, rhubarb.
Other sources of red food energy: Red meat and red wine (in moderation!).
Red vitamins and minerals: Vit B12 (for absorption of iron and essential if you don't eat meat), iron, magnesium and zinc.
Cherry Berry Smoothie
This delicious smoothie includes cherries, strawberries and banana. Cherries have excellent detoxifying properties, they cleanse and rejuvenate the liver, cleanse the bladder and reproductive system, alleviate constipation, promote healthy haemoglobin and are a great source of iron and zinc. Strawberries are high in anti-oxidants, vitamins (B complex, A and E) and minerals. Bananas are high in potassium (for healthy muscles and good neurotransmitter function), anti-oxidants, vitamins and phytonutrients. They are also antiviral, aid digestion and are high in tryptophan (to reduce anxiety and aid relaxation).
1 cup strawberries, hulled and sliced
1 cup cherries, chopped, stones discarded
1 small-medium banana, sliced
1 cup water
Put all ingredients in a blender and blend for 1 minute. Drink 1 cup straight away and store remainder in the fridge for a max of 2 days. If it thickens up, give it a good shake!
