Esoteric Warrior Yoga at Paradise Wellness

At a young age I was exposed to the Old Ways, by his father, a Shaman, Healer and Warrior. At the age of 16 he rebelled and embarked upon an unconscious odyssey of the self, to find Self, within the belly of the beast.
Many, many moons later, after a staccato of incidents, circumstances, trials & tribulations, what he has come to call “my Trial of Fire”, his life ended as he knew it, he was Awakened, reborn.
This Spiritual Rebirth is marked by his father’s death, which took place on April 17, 2002. “On his deathbed he shared with me a word of wisdom that initiated the fire that ignited my Heart & illuminated my Soul. The rest is the present, for it is here that one resides, in the eternal moment, the rendezvous point with the Spirit.”
I have walked this Path in a Sacred manner ever since. Expanding my awareness, exploring the depths of my Being and fulfilling my Purpose within this plane of existence: to Teach, Help, Heal & Unify.

Sugar Cane Juice...aka Guarapo

1) Sugarcane juice is a great preventive and healing source for sore throat, cold and flu.

2) It has a low glycemic index which keeps the body healthy.

3) This is one sweet drink diabetics can enjoy without fear because it has no simple sugars.

4) Due to its alkaline nature, it helps fight cancer. Studies indicate that it has positive activity against prostate and breast cancer cells.

5) It hydrates the body quickly when exposed to prolong heat and physical activity.

6) They are excellent substitutes for aerated drinks and cola.

7) It refreshes and energizes the body instantly as it is rich in carbohydrates.

8 ) Sugarcane strengthens the stomach, kidneys, heart, eyes brain and sex organs.

9) Febrile disorders which cause fever happen when there is a great amount of protein loss. But liberal intake of sugarcane juice provides the body with necessary protein and other food elements.

10) It keeps the urinary flow clear and helps the kidneys to perform their functions smoothly.

Who knew all this sweetness was so good for you.

You have heard the old adage “You are what you eat”, well it’s true! When we don’t take care of our bodies and fail to give it proper nutrients, we suffer from digestive discomfort and immune system problems.

Carambola or Star Fruit

Green leafy vegetables like kale and cabbage are alkaline foods, they help maintain the weak alkaline state of the blood by neutralizing the excessive sugar from the diet as well as remove toxic substances from the blood.

Some fruits and fruit juices have an exceptional function; they can help to dissolve the stockpile of toxic waste before eliminating it through the excretory system. The best fruits with this unique feature are lemons, oranges, grapefruits grapes, sugar cane juices, plums, apples, and tomatoes. Though some of these have a sour taste, they are proven to maintain the alkaline in the blood.

Raw Food Retreats Are the Best Type of Holiday to Find Yourself
While taking a break can seem to nourish the soul, often this type of ‘personal space’ is eroded by others that we share our breaks and holidays with. A raw food retreat provides the space to change our diet to promote real communication with ourselves, and the removal of ourselves from the constraints of everyday life. These combine powerfully, with yoga and massage, to create a deep and meaningful time for personal growth and change.
It can be incredibly difficult to make room in everyday life to make the space and time to sit down, without distraction, and center ones-self on you and your life path. The daily duties of modern adult life quite often fill more than a day, every day, leaving no space or time just an ever increasing list of things to do just to catch up with the day to day necessities.

We would need to step outside of our routines and appointments. To leave behind the clamor for our input into other peoples routines and expectations. To arrange for the important people in our lives to take care of themselves, for a change. To try and arrange this miracle from within our everyday lives would take a very strong willed and focused person, exactly the attributes that we are looking for in the first place. Even if this feat were arranged, to be able to devote time to one’s self, actually within the family home and routine would inevitably allow interruptions and distractions to split our attention and water down your ‘you’ time.

Perhaps we have the idea that when we take our yearly holiday with family or friends that we can gain some quiet and a mental peace within which to explore our desires and dreams. It is a nice idea but when the monumental coordination of people and resources has taken place, we arrive at our destination only to find that the same routine and relationships have followed us, albeit to a new location.

It will take a completely different approach to create the space you need for this introspection and personal development. Stepping outside of normal life is quite often the only solution. A complete break from your everyday reality. To remove yourself to a place that allows for there to be no chores, for daily times to be scheduled for, if you choose, you to do nothing else except ponder your dreams, desires and self. To book a place on one of the many raw food retreats is one such way of making the break with everyday life. Once there to open yourself to new ideas, people and opportunities that are 100% about you and your journey. This gives you the opportunity to examine what it is that is really important to you and how you might go about attracting it into your life.

Raw food retreats are places of limitless human potential. The access to a raw food diet, that someone else has lovingly prepared for you. To watch its preparation before tucking into to its vibrant energy for breakfast, lunch or dinner reminds you that food is the source of our daily energy and ability to regenerate, heal and cope with the stresses and strains of life.

A predominantly or full raw food diet will move you into a raw food detox. This period is the time within which a profound change can happen. The sheer energy and enzymatic power of raw food can and does produce incredible healing and regeneration, both on the physical and emotional levels. This time of potential change is one which you can use to wander through your desires and dreams. The thoughts and inspirations that occur will form the basis of a plan of action to kick start changes in everyday life.

Presenting yourself with this gift of time, for you, and the space to enjoy it, is the most incredible gift you can give to yourself. The transcendence of normal everyday patterns and limits is a rarity that does not very often come without effort. The realization

papaya kills cancer cells

Lab tests on papaya extract shows that it can kill tumor cells from cervix, breast, liver, lung and pancreatic cancer. The tests, using extracts made from dried papaya leaves, showed that the anticancer effects were stronger when cells received larger doses of the tea.

The research, published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology, also demonstrated that papaya leaf extract helps regulate the immune system, potentially helping the body fight off cancers. And researcher Bharat B. Aggarwal, Ph.D., at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, says the study results are so convincing he now eats a serving of papaya every day.

Paradise Wellness

Luquillo, Puerto Rico

Learn how to create Peace in the Kitchen as Chef Skai guides you with this 14 day Intensive Culinary Vegan Chef Program. Fly down to luscious Puerto Rico and learn hands-on how to make healthy food with FLAVA!  Chef Skai is a self-taught and fascinating teacher. Chef Skai created and opened the Yabba Pot Café in Baltimore, MD over 9 years ago and saw the yearning need to educate people on how to make healthier choices for their families. Her focus is to dismiss the notion that preparing vegan meals requires the eater to change their concept of flavors.  Most non-vegetarians have said to her that if they could eat the way she prepared every day, they too would become a vegetarian.  That is what a good chef wants to hear. 

From a purely economic standpoint, there just happens to be more non-vegetarians in the world then otherwise.  Wouldn’t it be smart to cater to all…not just the 1% vegetarian population?  Chef Skai agrees that preparing food for a wider audience who understands the benefits of eating non-meat is good for business…and that would be one of the lessons she shares in her program. Educating participants in this course is yet another way to ensure the health of the world.  The more Vegan and Raw food Chefs are out there in the world, the better this world will be.  People, places, and the animals benefit from incorporating a vegan lifestyle into your environment.  The goal of this program is to create an intensive program where chefs can get the information they need to start creating right away. 

Many programs are very similar in quality but the reality is that many people do not have the time to take 6 weeks or even 3 months away from their regular routine.  Chef Skai offers an intensive course where the chefs-in-training will be working hands on in the kitchen immediately as they arrive and will finish with their program as they are getting ready to leave.  This hands-on education allows the participant to get it in.  The lecture will be during the preparation of the dishes.  Various techniques will be shared, ideas explored and international flavors realized.  Join us on this fantastic exploration of wholesome cuisine.  There will also some time to go to the beach, rainforest, and a lil bit of salsa dancing!!

Why go on a Wellness Retreat?

Many people ask me why they should use their only vacation time to go on a wellness retreat. I feel this is a really great question – one that deserves a serious reply. We lead very busy lives these days, and our attention is pulled in so many directions. It is so easy to walk through our lives like a roller coaster…constantly moving going around a track. This lack of awareness and the tendency to put the computer of our minds on auto-drive helps create life situations that are not pleasant, not beautiful.

For the most part our programming is set to sabotage us at every turn, to whisper things in our head that are not life supportive. Why is this? Well, our lifestyle has taught us to go with the flow where the flow is not necessarily to our health benefit.  Folks at work eating donuts and drinking coffee, lunch at the dollar menu…you know.  And dinner…is whatever is quick and painless. When we are surrounded by others that are programmed the exact same way, it is challenging to get out of these types of behavior and thinking patterns even though we want to.

That is where a wellness retreat enters into the picture! By allowing your dream of eating healthfully, breathing, enjoying time with like minds and to actually experience life in a totally different way out of your regular surroundings. It allows you to take a step back from the hectic day to day routine. You can imagine what you could accomplish if you are allowed to hit the reset button…and sometimes all it takes is one week to get away and get it together.  Getting out of your own setting is needed at times to create the space for one to heal from their addictions, their weight issues, their ailments, their…whatever is keeping you from attaining the healthiest you. It’s tough to connect to ones goals in your normal surroundings.

Subliminal messages: Eat me! lol!! Raw food retreats are awesome!

It’s the same reason why drug addicts have to “Go Away” for a period of time to cleanse and relearn how they are going to live better and control their previous poor lifestyle choices. When that individual returns home they are better equipped to continue on their road to wellness….since they have been boosted with the information they need to easily eat better, work out, and feel good about eating healthy.

But I can go on my own wellness journey?  I don’t need to be stuck to any group…Well, that is true.  Many have found that retreats attract such a special group of people and it’s great to connect with others who are on a similar journey as you.  Learning about their life experiences is also what makes a wellness retreat all the more enticing.  Sitting around the dining table with people from all over the world is in itself the most profound aspect of the wellness journey. I encourage you to join us on a journey if you can. We will challenge you to let go of the things you carry on your shoulders that make life so heavy. We will pull you into a dream of gratitude, love and respect and teach you many tools to use that have been so successful for us in our own processes of healing and wellness.
