Inspiration

Inspiration
with harmony and melody
opens your heart
and sets you free.
Breathe for your soul
to help you feel whole
and all the while,
and all along,
live your life singing
your own sweet song.
Shine your light,
dance your moves
all will come
and flowers will bloom.
Waltz along
humming your song,
pray with your heart
your soul to keep
and rest well at night
dreaming your sleep.
Wake every day
with joy in your cells
so leave time for play
and nurturing true
to bring peace to your day
and inspiration to you.

Set Yourself Free From Chronic Pain


Stop all the dairy
and the cups of tea,
stop all the dairy
and you will see
the only step left to do
was release the milk
to benefit you……
We know you have
done your best
but you kept a2
for several months
and even this
must not be daily,
give it up,
you’ll be hale and hearty.
And watch the weight fall-away
as you have freedom everyday
the muscular-skeletal system knows
you will be better
when all dairy goes…..
So give it time
you have been chronic,
but in the spring
your body sings
it’s light and bright
and so drug-free
you’ll spread this word
faithfully……
 (Written on arising from sleep on April 26, 2013 Call this Part One)


When I awake at night
and my body’s on fire
my blood’s so hot
like a stack of tyres
flaming high,
into sky
and I know again
the wild horses are racing
and the metabolic allergy
is what I’m facing.

Some food chemical is now
on the loose again
and which one when?
for how long then?
with nostrils blistering,
sore throat is raging
and my joints so inflamed,
my eyes so dry
with burning pain
and I am watching it
all over again…..

But keep the faith.
I wonder if,
instead of disability
the pain will go
and set me free,
if I decide
to let much go
and believe my health
will return and show
that what I need
is ‘less not more’
open up
and just explore
the possibility,
that for all my years
I have been eating
nourishing foods
that defeated me
with auto-immunity.
The dairy foods
and the grains
are enraging these fires
these chronic pains……

And so, it is
last very night
another message came to me,
another way to set me free.

These proteins are not good for me
the gluten in grains,
the casein in milk,
are present in all my favourite foods,
so it has taken me many long, long, years
to finally eliminate everything
and wait with faith
as new freedom brings
all I ever wanted to be
relaxed, flexible
and truly set free…..

(Call this Part Two - The words in this verse woke me up in the middle of last night, with the full moon shining down to me for a very aha moment...April 28, 2013)

As an ‘almost vegetarian’ nutritionist, I have always loved milk, cheese, bio-dynamic very natural yoghurt and organic rye bread to compliment my healthy diet, and I have found that eliminating my favourite dairy food has taken me years…For me withdrawing from all gluten (wheat, rye, barley and oats) was easier in some ways.

But truly it is the best thing I ever did for myself.

Why did I ever think I just couldn’t let these foods go from my daily life??
