“You can sing only what you are. You can paint only what you are. You must be what your experiences, your environment, and your heredity have made you. For better or for worse, you must play your own little instrument in the orchestra of life.”

—  Dale Carnegie

Now I think Madonna put it best when she sung the song – EXPRESS YOURSELF !

How exciting can life be with so many different opportunities to express yourself. In todays twinkle* I want to share a way of expression that has me grinning from ear to ear…..

Last week I got sent the below video by my cousin, she told me her husband has done this incredible TED talk and having watched it I have to say she is right It is an INCREDIBLE TED Talk.

Yaron Engler shares in his talk how we can each and everyone of us already know how to express ourselves through music, whether we are ‘trained musicians’ or not and watch this video.

It has helped me to remember that the opportunity for each of us to express ourselves musically is only a few moments away….I hope this inspires you as much as it has inspired me

I have literally been singing ALL WEEK !! So thank you Yaron !

For more information or to contact Yaron click here.

In the meantime I would encourage you to spend some time singing, drumming, strumming or humming this week and see how you feel

Go on give your self a quick 5 mins burst now….I’d love to hear your thoughts on this video and also about any musical expression stories you have maybe how music has helped you express yourself. Comment below

Much love and Keep twinkling*

All souls day is today A time to pray for all the departed souls we have known…..I’d like to share with you why this day especially reminds me to twinkle* which is remembering to nurture my soul….its ALL SOULS DAY after all.

Lets think of other souls i’ve known who are now departed…..

AZREIL COHEN

Life is such a fascinating experience. Last night I was thinking about a  friend a great friend who although I only spent no more than 10 hours talking to him, impacted my life in one of the most profound ways so far. His name was Azriel Cohen. His heart was huge, his mind was expansive and his insight and care was nurturing of vibrancy and joy. He was inspiring. We intended to do some work together as there was a meeting of minds and hearts in what and how we wished to share our understanding of the body and instincts.

That I could experience so much from a man I knew so little of and from such a short interaction, reminds me again how precious life is, how every opportunity needs to be seized,  as within 1 week of meeting him, he very unexpectedly passed away.

And sure there were tears, grief and a deep sadness…….. but mostly I just felt so deeply grateful to have met him. So deeply grateful for the moments we shared & nourished our souls. Our interaction focused me, offering me many gifts that I know I will now have for life.

What amazed me further was as I then read an article about him and his life who he had been to others, the other lives he’d touched.

SEBASTIAO CARREIRA

Another man who I honour and am grateful for. Who taught me boundaries. Taught me to be wild and daring. Taught me to search for an answer. Inspired passion and questioned everything. There is no article for me to share with you about him other than the testimonial from me saying Thank you to this crazy, passionate being whose goal in life was celebration, celebration, celebration. Thank you Sebastiao for this great lesson.

We never know how our actions ripple out to others….just be true to who you are…that is the stuff of magic  

-Savannah Alalia

So todays twinkle* is a question to you..who do you know who has passed away and that you would like to honour ? what things did they do that nourished your soul? That brought you to life? What do you have in your life now to be grateful for? That you can treasure and smile about when things seem stuck or hopeless? What memory can bring you hope, when you feel alone? Comment below.

I’d love to hear from you. I’d love to hear whose inspired you and why. My experiences with Azriel Cohen and Sebatiao Carriera are my sharing to you today

Knowing these men reminds me to stay forever grateful for all the amazing people in my life. Thank you Thank you Thank you To you all -your words, our interactions, bring me so much laughter and joy and I feel like the luckiest person alive

Much love and keep twinkling*

Are you ready? Are you waiting ?

I often see that people are in either the rushing to get ready or the I’m waiting for…. stage.

I realise one of the things I have become a professional at is getting people ready, ready to detox, ready to decide something, ready to receive people into their homes, ready to start a project, ready to…..fill in the blank. Whilst this has been an amazing role to play….it has also made me a professional wait-er. I wait for clients, friends, family to be ready.

But what I have missed for so long is that I have not been ready myself and I have so many people waiting for me to get ready. First of all I am sorry. Second of all I am excited….this ah-ha moment for me means a shift in how I am working a general refocusing and clarifying on what it takes, mainly how long it takes to get things to create a place of readiness.

The quote when the student is ready the teacher will appear I feel can be used in life….when you are ready whatever you are desiring will occur… in todays twinkle* I’d like to ask you to stop…ask yourself these questions

What are you ready for?

What are you waiting for ?

What can you do to get ready better for what you are waiting for ?

Make a list and please share any thoughts or comments below. Maybe you have been waiting for years for something. Or you have been struggling to get ready all your life…. lets all help inspire each other as we each gain the reins on our lives and twinkle* bright…

Much love

Seeing as we are talking all things body at the moment I thought I would take the time to answer a question I was recently asked….

Its a question I get asked alot and I figured I would be good to share here as a twinkle*

Today’s twinkle* tip is all about cellulite !

I had a lovely lady, Francine write and ask

I been wondering about something…..

How does cellulite come about and how to stop it or prevent it from continuing?

More and more my skin seems to lose its firmness and I wonder if this is cos of a lack of exercise, toxins and a previously not great diet or simply genetic.

I plan to do some research on it now, but I know just how much stuff there is online and I often dont know what to believe or I start to believe too much in one thing that is actually a load of nonsense. 

Great question Francine and thank you for writing to me and asking it. Yes there are heaps of varying ideas and opinons around this….

I get asked about cellulite a lot !! And unsurprisingly really as we all like to feel and look great right ?! Ofcourse we do

I’m going to break it down into bite size chunks..after all thats part of how we got it in the first place

Cellulite has a message for you….cellulite is here to say there is an imbalance happening in your body.

How exactly does cellulite come about ?

I personally believe, and this belief is based on working on thousands of bodies over the years,  that cellulite comes about when your system gets over loaded and your organs are not coping with the toxic load coming in.

I’d like to share with you My Four Secret Steps to Sensational Skin

What is cellulite ?

Cellulite is, in my opinion, toxins which the body has been unable to process that get wrapped in fat and usually get deposited on the thights and bum, away from your vital organs…..if it begins to spread else where it is usually a sign of toxic over load. And yes unfortunately women are more prone to it then men.

I can hear lots of women running out the room screaming as the they read this….toxins ahhhh !!!

Let’s just tackle this one….stay with me ladies

How do you get rid of them !!! ?

Ok well actually it is pretty simple –  shift the toxins…Simple to say but it can take considerable and  consistant application and care  especially if you have a big build up. Your number one thing to say goodbye to is coffee….yup sorry starbucks will have you modelling a star-butt if you keep that up. Coffee send our systems in to shock and that ‘kick of energy’ that we feel is actually our adrenals kicking out a load of adrenaline because they believe our life is in danger….so coffee = stress = toxins they all go hand in hand. Say ciao ciao to your cappuncino and hello to a new you. If you want some tips on cutting out coffee let me know and I will do you a twinkle*

The number two thing for best the cellulite busting is to eat lots of unheated healthy fats, by health fats I mean plant based unprocessed fats, such as avocados, virgin cold pressed coconut oil, virgin cold pressed olive oil. It is important that you eat these fats raw rather than heated, although if you are going  to cook with fat I would only recommend coconut oil. Fats what? Yup you read it right – your body needs fats but  healthy fats to break down stagnant fat and to absorb nutrients.

The number three thing is getting the toxic build up out. If you are a regular reader you will be aware of the organ cleanses that have been available during September…they have been such a hit I am keeping them up until mid October, you can sign up in the top right hand corner of this page to get your copy. These cleanses are one way to assist you body to deal with the toxins, by cleansing your organs you will be helping them clean up your body.

If you can’t wait to cleanse or you want to be super thorougher I would also recommend an AMAZING DETOX PACK. This amazing pack with help you get the gunk out fast  I feel it  speeds the whole process up and supports the body in breaking down the fatty gunk whilst also nourishing your cells and assisting them to repair themselves. I have been very impressed with the results I have been seeing.

What now?

Well finally…..the number four thing..

I would apply daily morning and evening grapefruit or a citrus fruit natural oil from Young Living’s therapeutic grade oil selection. Followed by some organic virgin coconut oil, liberally applied and then do what is known as Gua Sha. Gua sha involves repeated pressured strokes over well oiled skin with a smooth edge. You could  use a ceramic  edge, a worn coin or an animal horn…. I like to use a piece of Rosewood.

The smooth edge is placed against the well oiled skin and then you  press down firmly, and then moved down the muscles—its often referred to as friction-stroking, it can be done along the meridian points or on any fatty tissue area.  Each stroke being about 4-6 inches long.

At first it can be a little painful and the skin will go a blotch read, this redness and any pain is the stagnant energy/toxins in your tissues. You will find if you continue to work with this soon it will get easier and easier and easier and there will be little and then no pain. Your skin will have an sheen and glow to it that will be like feeling and looking at the skin of your youth and your cellulite will be a thing of the past.  AMAZING !
