Certified Organic Explained – Therese & Miranda Kerr

This week is National Organic Week Australia (17-25 September), as part of Organic Awareness month. It started on my birthday which feels a little special to have a cause so close to my heart, fall on a day I won’t forget.

I’ve posted previously how I attended a seminar earlier this year run by Therese Kerr from The Divine Company which was part of the catalyst of me starting my writing. The insights she shared on that day were so confrontational and deep they brought me to tears and reaffirmed what I know to be true. That making healthier choices is in our power and such choices have the power to change our lives for the better.

In this week’s Wellbeing Magazine, both Therese and her well-known daughter, Miranda, have shared an incredibly informative article on what organics means to them and what it can mean for us, much of which was covered during the seminar I attended. I encourage you to read it.

Some key learnings within the article about organics:
🌱 the word “organic” means nothing
🌱 a company in Australia and in most countries around the world can claim something is “organic” if it contains one natural ingredient — yet it may contain literally hundreds, if not thousands, of chemicals.
🌱according to the Breast Cancer Fund of America, the word “fragrance” can contain up to 3000 chemicals that do not have to be disclosed on a label and many other chemicals, yet the product can still be classed as organic.
🌱certified natural in most cases allows for the use of fragrance and GMOs.

🍃“Certified organic”:

🌱is regulated by organic certification bodies
🌱contain only plant-based and derived ingredients
🌱have no artificial colours or flavours, no GMOs, and no pesticides, insecticides or organophosphates
🌱must have all ingredients listed on the product label

Hope you enjoy the read. Let me know what you think!

. . It's been exactly two weeks. Two weeks since .

It's been exactly two weeks. 

Two weeks since I had one of the most profound experiences in a healing session with my beautiful friend and reiki healer, Pramali @aatmahealing 

I'd never done reiki before. To be honest, I had no idea about it other than it had something to do with energy and chakras (a new interest of mine!). But I turned up, completely open to the experience and boy did it deliver.

Pramali prepared me by sharing that I may fall asleep (which is very common), I may cry, I may make noises, sigh, burp, have tummy rumblings as the energies move around and out of my body.  There would be tuning forks, sound bowls and crystals.

In my session, I felt completely calm and awake (no sleeping for me!), very in tune with my chakras and I spent a lot of the time crying and sighing in subconscious grief, joy and release, as each chakra that was worked on delivered a crystal clear message just for me. I felt safe and held at all times.

My memory hasn't been great this year, perhaps it's from some trauma from the last couple of years, sleep deprivation from catching up on all the things, and just exhaustion from the relentless pace of life this year. But, after this session, my memory was on point and I remembered in explicit detail every single message that was given to me which I have since documented and have been enjoying reflecting on. I'll continue to reflect, as my session continues to integrate over time.

This year I haven't posted very much. I've needed to take some time out to focus on family needs, much needed self healing and self care, rediscovering my spirituality, and deepening my intuition. 
My reiki session has me feeling that I want to write again, so maybe you might just see me sharing a little more when I feel called.

My experience with reiki was unique to me and yours may be quite different. I'd love to hear if you've ever done it and how you found it?

If you would like to experience it yourself, I highly recommend you reach out to Pramali @aatmahealing . She is a gift to be shared. ✨

1-2 Tablespoons @san_elk chicken stock powder
1-2 Teaspoons @nutraorganics Veggie Hero powder
2 Tablespoons homemade chicken bone broth 
Filtered boiling water
2 handfuls GF spaghetti snapped into short noodles 
Hand shredded cheese handful from a block of provolone or mozzarella. 

Add powders to a small pot and add water. Bring to the boil, add bone broth and when melted add short pasta. Boil until pasta is ready, further season if needed. Sprinkle shredded cheese and serve. 

Optional: You can add frozen corn together with the pasta for added veggie goodness. 

Love to hear if you try it!

Our very first sunflowers bloomed on new year's ev Our very first sunflowers bloomed on new year's eve. 🌻🌻🌻⁠
⁠
It felt very symbolic to me that such beauty would decide to open and birth their first florals on the last day of an incredibly tough year for so many. Or it could have just been coincidence. ⁠
⁠
But I choose to see the beauty and the message. ⁠
⁠
I see new life, birthing of new starts, hope, joy, positivity, a reset, a reboot. ⁠
⁠
But also a quiet appreciation of the simple beauty that is the sunflower. ⁠
⁠
It sits tall and strong, but quiet and happy in it's stillness. It sleepily rocks from side to side in the mildest of winds and calms you just by looking at it.⁠
⁠
Each year I choose a word (or words) and set an intention for the year ahead. I do my usual goal setting, review the year just passed, but the word I choose is for me the most important step. ⁠
⁠
Around this time of year, I let the universe know I am ready to receive my word(s) and am open to it. And without forcing it, I wait for my intuition to tell me. And I quietly but actively listen.⁠
⁠
I save my word in my calendar as a daily morning reminder to come back to my intention. It's my anchor point for when I get off track.⁠
⁠
The sunflower helped me choose my words for next year. ⁠
⁠
Simplify. Sleep. Truth.⁠
⁠
Happy New Year everyone. May it be lighter and brighter for all 🌻🌻🌻⁠
⁠
What's your word and intention for 2022? ⁠
⁠
Let's start a thread to encourage each other to leave the past year behind and start with a fresh, brand new outlook and intention starting today.
Hey beautiful friends 👋⁠ ⁠ Wishing everyone Hey beautiful friends 👋⁠

Wishing everyone a wonderful Christmas, happy holidays and (hopefully) a more chilled out new year!!⁠
