The Rawfoodfamily food diary 28/10/2009

We just booked our flights two days ago and are soooo happy, that we created our warm winter in Thailand!
The kids are packing their backpacks twice every day, and walk around saying bye-bye to us going to Thailand when leaving the living room going to the kitchen. LOL

Sorry, the last update was a while.
Our laptop was damaged and neede repair, and so we couldn`t update the way we wanted. Anyway. I had green juices every day, some days twice a day. Almost all juices were with wild edibles. Mostly with dandelion and nettles

Today I even started the day with a green juice and no smoothie.

We all enjoyed the empowering effect and started in the day with a lot of energy. There was some marine phytoplankton and coconut juice in the juice, so it was a true superfood juice!!

We had a hemp smoothie for lunch and just a piece of chocolate in the afternoon. Kids had some mandarines and an apple in between.There was a nice salad with avocado dressing for evening, and that was about it. I ended the evening in the swimming pool with a big workout and the sauna as nice topping!

Today we had another special day! The kids were soo excited and ran around the whole morning until we started off!
We woke up, made our green smoothie, with maca, and marine phytoplankton and drove off to Plymouth to buy us DURIAN.
Jippiehh! The kids get so excited when it comes down to durian. (aehhh,... so do we adults, to be honest)

After we came back we had a mish mash.
Squeezed avocado, crunched carrots, cucumber, and sliced tomatos, all mixed together.
Everybody had a plate.

After that, everybody had a piece of raw chocolate.
I made a hemp, banana, cacao, goji smoothie and we all enjoyed that. In the afternoon I made such a huge green juice!

It was almost a kilo of wild edibles mixed with spring greens, 2 bunches of celery, 6 carrotts, 3 apples and two oranges.

After this, it was time. The best time of the day, because we enjoyed the DURIAN. Complete silence and pure bliss. The children went to bed with bright smiles on their faces, and I took of for an intense swim training and sauna session.

I loved this day!

Stop complaining and start creating the life you want!

People are used to complain, and blame others for the situations, they do not like, for the lifes they live.

I used to do this myself. It is so convenient. But I stopped! I took over the control in my life and started creating the experineces and the feelings I want.

In this video, I will tell you how much power there is, if you just take the responsibility for your life back in your hands!

Watch the video. Watch my life secret. Only at

We had some great wild food family days! Our kids loooove chickweed!

Because our friend brought us this huuuge amount of wild green (chickweed).
Check this out!





We already juiced 1 third of the amount, so what you see here is not all of the wild edibles we had.

It used to be kilos of it, and we ate it all!
It felt so good, and the best part is: Chickweed is our most favourite wild edible, because it tastes so good.

Anyway: We started off with a green smoothie (after I had a 2 glasses of water with marine phytoplankton), todyay not with spinach, but chickweed as green component.

We added water, bananas, maca and marine phytoplankton.


After that we had some veggies.

us mish-mash. That is squeezed avocado mixed with sprouts, small carrott pieces, cucumber and tomatos.

The kids love it, and had a plate each.
That brought us through most of the day.
Afternoon was some mandarines and an apple with chickweed.

Evening was a chocolate cream.

Avocado, carob powder, some honey, water, maca.

Great stuff. Tastes like pudding!! That was it for the day. Kids went off to bed, and I had an hour in the sauna

We started in this beautiful Family-Sunday with a alltime best drink ever, before we enjoyed this day together with a greeeeaaat action, the kids just loved!

Superfood green smoothie.

Thats green (spinach,kale) water, 4 bananas, maca and marine phytoplankton.

We spend a nice day out in the dartmoor then. We visited a pony farm, we are often at. It is in the middle of dartmoor, very nature like!
We all had an apple and some avocado with carrot while being there.

When going home in the afternoon, we just saw that a close friend brought us around 4 kilos of chickweed (wild nature edibles growing here). So we made a wild pesto, consisting out of
sunflower seeds, oil, basil, chickweed, salt, water, garlic and lemon. All this came together with veggies.
That was that! I had some water for the evening.

We Looove Sundays

We had an exciting day today!! Filled with magical, tropical wonders!

We woke up and - of course- had our famous green smoothie alltogether.

I drank about 2 liters of water with marine phytoplankton during the whole morning.
Then we jumped in our car and drove to Plymouth to one of our favourite stores there: The asian shop.

We bought durian, and goji berries and drove back home in the beautiful sun of fall.

At home the kids enjoyed a JUMPOT. This is superfood.
Coconut mixed with a zip water, lucuma and a little bit of honey, crushed apple, maca and carob powder.

After that there was some veggies (Avocado, carrot, cucumber).

Then I made a big green juice with veggies, 1,5 kilo of green, and 3 apples. After that we were enjoying the bliss of the day.

The Rawfoodfamily food diary 16/10/2009

I still felt a little heavy when waking up this morning.
I have to really watch out better, when my body tells me to stop eating!

Too much pesto yesterday. It is good that my body becomes more and more sensitive to things like this! It was just one spoon enough. But sometimes this one spoon can make such a difference!

I had just 2 glasses of water, and lateron a glas of green smoothie. Just more water until late afternoon.
The kids enjoyed their smoothie, and after that a juicy honey melon. For lunch they had avocados and carrots.

Then there was the time for GRREEEEEN JUUUUIIICE again.

I juices 1 big bunch of celerey, 1 kilo of kale, 300 gr, of spring greens, 6 carrots, 3 apples, and 2 oranges.

Wow!
What a different person I felt after that!
It was like new fuel in my tank. I was healed after that, and felt totally fine and good again!


We shared the juice as a family.
After that the kids had a mushroom salad together with veggies. The kids had the salad for evening meal, and I was so happy with the juice, that i had nothing else! Just some dates and cashews in the evening.

Thats it for today friends! Love and sunlight!

Letting go to receive

----- This article written by Ka Sundance was also published in the pear magazine August issue 2009 ------



Do you know the feeling, when you wanted something so badly, that you whole world circulated around this desire?
Did you ever loose your keys and looked for them everywhere, and couldn’t find them? Haven’t we all experienced this?

And then after you searched all possible places several times, but still did not find them, you finally did let go of it. You did forget about your desire completely. And at exactly this point the magic happened.

In a totally unexpected moment, the thing you wanted so much, weather it was your car key, or any other thing: It was just there. Sometimes at a places you could have sworn that you looked before so many times!

But now it was just there!

What is this magic, so many of us have already experienced?

I call it: letting go to receive!
And about this magic that has happened to all of us, I want to write to you today!

When we are to tense concentrating on a wish, on a thing we want and focus all our attention on it, we get stuck. Stuck in a circulating energy, that makes us blind for the solutions, for the thing we want, that is already there, right before our eyes. We just see a narrow perspective of all that is there, too focused to see the possibilities.

Life and the universe itself is not moving in closed circles, or narrowed in some way. Life is abundance. It is moving and evolving constantly, giving us all we need, and want, when we just are able to see, to receive it. Giving and taking, receiving and letting go again.

Both things belong together. And when you have problems to let go of something, that automatically will make it more difficult for you to receive.
Because you are so concentrated on holding on to things, maintain them, clean them, reorganize and restructure them, that there is just no free space, or no free attention to receive the new things you have ordered, and the universe has already delivered to you.
And the universe is very precise. It never, ever makes a mistake.
To give you a practical example:
Once we lived in a house, and it was like magic. More and more things were finding its way in our cellar, and our free spaces at the roof.
Although we were trying to consciously let go, and organize our belongings, it still felt like we gained more and more stuff, like a magnet.

Then we decided that the point of time had come to do a world travel with our children, which was our dream since we became a family, and even before that.
We took the opportunity and cleared out all our stuff. Most things we gave away as presents to friends and people wanting it, and other stuff was going to the recycling centre.
We tried to give all the things away with loving kindness and thankfulness in our hearts, because it felt better this way.
That was a very intense process, and took a lot of energy; at least as much as getting all the gear together.


The Rawfoodfamily in NewZealand 2006


Not only physical letting go, organizing and packing all things in a box, driving them to friends, but even more the emotional side of it. Letting go of all the memories and energies that were connected with this specific item.

But maybe you also know the feeling, after you decided and took the action.
You feel good! You feel light! You are free!
New space, free attention and lots of fresh energy!

And this is what it is all about. Let go to receive!
We managed to reduce all our belongings down to 2 small boxes that stayed at our parents places and did a long world travel together with our 2 children at that time with only 1 backpack and a buggy for Jaro!
We felt so rich!
We were free to go whatever way we wanted, choose the direction we liked most and felt best about.
to go, or to stay, to start in a new life and create and live our dream.

Waiting for the next ride in Australia


And even this light and almost completely empty, the cleaning process was never stopping. It was, and still is, a constant habit.
We were checking and cleaning our single backpack during our travels all couple of weeks, and found stuff that was not of use anymore.
We just did let go of it.

This brings us to a very special sentences that comes up, when ever we clean up. And that is:
“Oh no, I could keep this. It could be useful at some point of time!”

This sentences is the killer of all the action of letting go!
Yet it can be difficult to overcome. It has to do with trust. Trust in yourself, life, and the universe. Trust in the fact that whenever you need something, it will be brought to you at the exact right point of time. Once we fully understand the deep meaning and existence of this law, we do not need to collect and save all sorts of things anymore.

In our experience it never happened, that we did regret any of our clearings, and cleanings.
Whenever we need anything it is just there. It always is. Always will be.
All is good.

If you want some assistance in your process of letting go, just contact me through on of my websites and I will be pleased to help you.

The kids were very exited this morning, becasue we had big plans! But first we had our famous greeeeeen smoothie for breakfast.

Katie had to work, so I took of with my kiddies gang and spend a beautiful day nearby in a big aquarium.
They absolutly loved it!!

Before we went there we were shopping and bought each 2 big medjool dates and a little handful of cashews.

After this event we returned back home, and I created once more a huuuuuge green juice.

A kilo of spring greens, 300 gr of kale, 1 big bunch of celery, 8 carrots, 3 apples and 2 oranges.

Right after we drank this, I made again a delicious cashew, basil pesto.
(cashews, basil, olive oil, lemon juice, salt, garlic and some soja sauce,... yummo!)

We had this of course with plenty of green, cucumber, carrots and tomatos.

The kids had a slice honey melon before bedtime.

I liked the pesto so much, that I eat too much of it. I felt heavy after that. Because there is mixed fats (oil plus cashews), I have really to watch out, to eat it just as a little extra, and have mostly veggies and green. I did not so today!

Thats why I did no training in the evening, but only relaxing sauna.

Ka Sundance food diary - starting today!

I started doing a raw food diary for all of you, so that you can see what i exactly eat every day. You can access this at http://www.rawoodcoach.net/blog.php!



Hello dear friends of the light.
People are asking what it is that I eat, especially, because I managed to gain muscle weight in the last couple of months, and so I thought to post what I am eating and drinking during my day.
From today on I will start to post here, what I am eating, to give you an idea what the raw food diet in real life looks like.

Bare in mind that I already do this for 4 years. My system has become quite efficent, and I need less food, than somebody would need, who is just starting with this diet.

My intention is not to tell you, that you should also eat that way. You should not! You should really listen to what your body tells you, and see my posts just as an interesting inspiration.
Ok. Here we go:

* I started the day - like most days- with a glas green smoothie (100gr spinach, water, 2 bananas, 2 teaspoons maca)


* At around 3 pm we had raw vegan pesto made out of sunflower seeds, olive oil, garlic, a bit salt, lemon and lots of fresh basil. This was together with tomato, salad, cucumber and carrots.


* In the evening after my kids went to bed with Kati, I went to the pool, and had an intense 1 hour swimming workout followed by a sauna session. Now I sit here with 2 glasses of green juice which is very empowering (1 bunch of celery, 4 carrots, 1 bunch black kale, 2 apples, teaspoon maca and some goji berries.
Thats it. I feel soooo good after workout, sauna and my green juice!!I try to keep you updated as much as possible on that!
