Juice Up Your Life w/Daily Dance!!!

THis is not a joke. This is seriously JUICY LIVING!

MANDATORY DAILY DANCE PARTY has officially begun!

We're taking 15 minutes of every single day in 2012 and making a mandatory dance party in our lives.

How does this work?

Easy. Pick a time during the day that works best for you and set your intentions to dance for 15 minutes. (note: you do NOT have to know how to dance or feel comfortable dancing to do this)

At your designated time, put on music that you love (can be a record, tape, radio, tv, internet station, Pandora, whatever, I guess you could even just sing the whole time!)

DANCE! for 15 minutes just let it go. Dance like nobody is watching. Feel the music in your body. Move your body in ways that feel good! Let your smile grow giant as you start to feel a surge of energy like you have never felt.

It doesn't matter where you do this. It can be in your cubicle at work, the bathroom, your living room, on the street, listening to your iPod, driving, wherever!

You deserve this. Its for you.

JOIN US on Facebook where we post every day when we're dancing so you can do it at the same time as us! Or pick your own time and just dance!

we love you.

This is juicy living.

JUICE CLEANSE & YOGA INTENSIVE

Every Spring I try to offer some kind of guided group opportunity for cleansing. I started this annual practice because I myself wanted to do a cleanse but did not want to feel isolated from the rest of the world for the week or like I had nobody to reach out to if I had questions or feelings to express. I did my first group cleanse in April of 2005 and I have led 7 groups since then, each one taking me deeper into my own practice and understanding of my body, as well as enhancing my knowledge and understanding of how to effectively lead the groups.

On May 1st, I will be teaming up with the amazing teachers at GOOD YOGA in Greenpoint to offer an incredible opportunity for a Spring juice cleanse and yoga intensive.

We'll hold a group workshop and then host cleanse focused yoga classes daily, with an opportunity to purchase fresh juice daily from Green Pirate.

The goal of the workshop is to educate people about the process of cleansing, how

to safely and effectively let go of unwanted toxins yet stay nourished, and to provide structure and support for a successful Spring cleansing experience.

12 Toxins in health care products...

Sharing is Caring, right?

I am re-posting this article about beauty and health care products that I found on the Green Wala website because it was chock full of info that I didn't know. I was surprised to realize that each of these 12 chemicals or ingredients can be found somewhere in my own home, in one of my health care products, including my shampoo, toothpaste and makeup.

I had read that antibacterial soaps are not actually great for us because they kill off good bacteria too, but only recently have I started to look beyond food sources of toxins, to the other household products that I use to get a full picture of health.

This article offers some insight to the possible toxins in your health care and beauty products. I encourage us all to read the labels, understand what we are putting on our skin, and in our hair, and to choose natural products that don't contain carcinogens and other toxins. A few ideas to look into are using natural powdered minerals or metals such as mica for eye shadows, and essential oils or distilled flower essences instead of fragrance.

Enjoy!

ABOUT DEBORAH

For the past 5 years I have been cleansing regularly throughout the seasons and guiding groups and individuals in successful cleansing experiences. As a graduate of the renown Institute for Integrative Nutrition, I am trained to work with individuals from all walks of life in addressing their body's nutritional needs, but I received most of my real knowledge about the process by working with my own body and listening intently to the questions and concerns of my clients. I am highly experienced to offer a Guided Juice Cleanse plan that is unique to each individual that I work with.

As a certified Holistic Health Coach, I have been the nutritional guide for hundreds of busy New Yorkers seeking a healthier lifestyle. Many of my clients have reported that even several years later they are still applying the knowledge and education they received from my program to help them make the healthiest choices and live a more fulfilling and happier life.

Health & Sensuality

Greetings! I'm so excited to be hosting my first teleclass this evening with Cindy Neder-Highfield of Majestic Living. If you haven't already checked out the info on my "classes" page, please do so and join us tonight for the FREE teleclass.

Our topic is going to be health and sensuality. When we reached out to female friends and peers to find out what kind of information they were really craving, it was true across the board that women want to have a conversation about how sexuality and sensuality play a role in their health. In addition, they felt starved of a safe and authentic conversation about the health of their reproductive organs and how thier sensuality plays a role in their daily happiness.

As a holistic health practitioner and life coach, I have many conversations about this with my clients, but when I think back to times in my life where I have felt a safe platform for this conversation, I realized they were few and far between. I would like to change that, both for myself and for all women. Let's talk about sex? YES!, and the grounded and healthy way to treat yourself, your body, mind and soul in relation to this topic.

What are some foods that support the health of your reproductive organs?

What are some ways that you can let go of negative self image that is holding you back from feeling your best in your body where it's at right now??

Call in tonight and find out! Visit Majestic Living's website to register for tonight's event and get the call in number!

I hope to hear you all there!

Letting Go- Mind, Body & Soul

Lighten up! Balanced holistic health has everything to do with being in the present moment and knowing what your body is communicating to you right now.

So often we get caught up in the emotional energy of the past and we aren't available to support ourselves in getting our current needs met. We know what it is that we wish to gain or create in our lives; but do we know what we need to let go of in order to make room for all the new?

Here are some ideas for letting go of the old and clearing space for manifesting your heart's desires. Have fun with it, it's Spring after all! Cleaning is practically mandatory.






Mind
- tackle your clutter for a few hours a week
(old books, DVD's, paperwork, unused or too-tight clothes all go!)
- take 5 minutes each morning to breath and meditate
- create some space from heavy or negative relationships









Body
- clean out the fridge of old and funky foods
- check exp. dates on spices and dry goods and toss oldies
- walk/run 15 minutes a day to shed layers of winter padding
- cleanse your digestive system by adding fresh squeezed juices









Soul
- donate old things to a local charity or organization
- get rid of behavior patterns that cause guilt
(guilt holds you to the past and never allows you to be in the present)
- laugh for 15 minutes each day (letting go of everything!)

Make a list of all the things you can think of that you want to let go of and then get to it. I promise you will feel lighter and much more ready to invite abundance into your life! Then let me know how it goes....I'm working on it too!

SPRING CLEANSING

Spring is in the air!
As we approach the Vernal Equinox, we can feel our bodies’ subtle (or not-so- subtle) cries for balance. The time has come to shed winter layers and come out of the darkness into the light!

We feel an energy building inside us to connect with that sensation of potential energy surrounding us: the snow melting, the days getting longer and the first signs of new green peeking up at us from the earth.

Buds on trees are preparing to burst into new life and flowers are pushing themselves up through the soil. In no time we will be basking in the warmth of the sun again!

What does your body need at this exciting time of transition?

Are you anxious to get moving and feel your muscles toning and trimming again?

Have you noticed any particular cravings at this time of year?

Have you ever considered a Spring cleaning for your body that mirrors the one you will most likely do for your closet?

Spring is the perfect time to cleanse away toxins and impurities that have been taking up valuable real estate in your body throughout the winter months. There are wonderful health benefits to cleansing including: relieving stress on many of your vital organs, increased energy, clearing out toxins that can lead to discomfort and disease in the body, and more time to accomplish your goals.

A cleanse can range from a gentle pulling back from your normal diet to remove chemicals and processed foods, to a full-on fruit and vegetable juice (liquid only) diet.

As a part of your cleanse you may choose to include a trip to the bath house for sauna or massage, a colonic, or a specific yoga regimen. Cleanses can be done solo or in a group for support and can be altered to suit your personal schedule or dietary needs. A cleanse doesn't have to be something that you suffer through either! It can be fun and full of activities and education that set you on a path for maximum overall health leading into the warm weather seasons.

What are you letting go of at this time of year?

During any transition, it is a valuable process to check in with the needs of the physical self and find systems of support to help us maximize our energy and make the most of every day. If you are considering a Spring cleanse for the first time, make sure to do so with the support of a health professional or nutritionist who can guide you in making the strongest choices for your body.
