Hierarchy

You attract what you are – so its worth finding out exactly what you are – what you are “being” and what you vibrate.
We are complex beings – our bodies register and remember so many past experiences. Our bodies also house a set of beliefs and values that can often be unconscious. Often we are afraid to hear what we really think. It is worth going deeper, asking challenging questions – and waiting for life, the universe and ourself to offer us the answers.
Answers may come to us through the mouths of others, through experiences in nature, with animals, with other people, or simply through realisations that filter down and wait for you to listen.
Hierarchy is an incredible hotspot – a potent subject to look at. So much of our society is fundamentally based on the concept of structuring : placing and positioning people in relation to each other. These are some common titles that we take for granted :
More important
More official
More credible
More beatifull
Wealthier
More successful
Smarter
And so on – the list is endless.
Take a moment of quietness and honesty to ask yourself – what hierarchies do you invest in? Are you “below” people in some situations? Are you “above” people in other situations? Do you have a one hierarchy fits all situations ? or do you have a hierarchy for each occasion ?
I jest – but I am also serious.
Think about it.
We are taught to seek safety in assessing our position in relation to other people. The foundation of this concept is a value system that deems some more worthy than others in a specific context.
I can see the relevance in some situation – of course – people are different, and some more suited to some situations than others. We are all equal – but unique.
Why do we agree to the concept of hierarchy ? Do we feel safer when we at least know that we are above someone on the imagined ladder? Does that makes the idea that someone is above us a little easier to accept?
What if the idea of hierarchy actually disempowers us? Are we trading freedom and self affinity of the reassurance that there is someone below us on the ladder?
Are we giving our power away when we invest it in struggling for a position in an imagined structure ?
What if we could become comfortable with the faith that everything is in divine order in the present moment? What if we could become comfortable with total self acceptance and self affinity? Would we need to give our power away to the idea of ranking people?
Anything that takes your attention and energy outside yourself robs you of the present moment.
What contribution do you want to make to the way this world functions? Where we send our attention our energy follows – and your energy is powerful, creative and potent.
Are you co-creating a world that ranks people, deems some more successful, more worthy and more beautiful than others?
If you invest in any hierarchy – where do you position yourself – and are you sure that you want to be in that position?
Perhaps the structure of that hierarchy is really a cage, and the shape of your freedom is really infinite space.

Future menu Kale
Posted by Justin Field on 2015.04.15
Its a busy time here at casa sana as far as the garden goes . lots of seeds and plantells need special attention . One of my favourite things on the menu is Red kale a nutritional powerhouse filled with vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients. Not to mention, rich in chlorophyll which alkalizes the blood and contain fiber which keeps the GI healthy and happy. Cruciferous leafy greens (kale, mustard greens, collard greens, cabbage, broccoli) may be some of the best when it comes to dark leafy greens.
Maybe you will get to taste the fruits of my labour up here on the mountain top eco retreat Casa sana , where i provide a full menu based on your nutritional needs .
saludos !

Detox

Every day your body has to deal with toxins. These are environmental toxins and the ones we take in from alcohol, cigarettes, polluted air and water and chemicals in hair and skin products. That is why we have to clean our system once in a while.
Most of the toxins in your body are created by the food you eat, so it can be a very good idea to give all your organs a break by giving them a few days where you don’t eat a lot of food that makes your system have to work hard to digest.
There are many forms of detoxes, it can be from a day, up to weeks of not eating or just eating very little and very healthy to give your system a chance to flush the bad stuff out. There are many good ways to supplement the detox, such as massage, breath work, yoga, sauna and steaming. It is a very intense treatment and it is very challenging both mentally and physically, so it is advisable to do a detox with a professional guide.
Many people prefer doing the detox on a retreat because often it is easier to be on a strict diet if you are in a new environment away from your own fridge and all your bad habits. On a retreat you will also have all the support you need to overcome the challenges you meet and to get the treatments that help your system detox faster and ease the discomfort.
Detoxing your body has a lot of effects and it is possible that the first three days you feel very uncomfortable. You can feel hung-over because you are de...
