Hi there!
Welcome to August, the month where apparently, for this year specifically, August is the month of
new beginnings
.
(It definitely is for me, having just moved home and where so much else has changed and is changing...)
This week, in order to help you create some powerful and beautiful new beginnings for yourself, our theme is ENERGY.
One of the key reasons people choose to eat more raw food is to gain physical energy, and certainly it makes every bit of difference for me... However, have you thought about your diet and its impact on your emotional, mental and spiritual energy? That's what I'm discussing this week.
This is also the week where my podcast expands into sharing my weekly articles with you in audio format. So if you'd prefer to listen to the audio version of my article, you can do so
here
.
And if you're a raw food business owner or want to be, keep reading because my announcement this week is super-exciting and something so many of you have been waiting for!
Radiantly yours,

FEATURE ARTICLE
How Much Energy Can Your Body Hold?
Now and again, in the quieter moments, sudden flashes of insight come along when I least expect them, reminding me of one of the main reasons I choose raw (one of my BIG WHYS).
The insight I want to share with you today is about how much “energy” the body can hold - and how and why raw and living foods make it possible for us to feel energetically bigger and more able to experience life in a more profound and enriching way; to take more on (both the good and the not-so-good) because of the energy they impart to us and enable from within us.
To be clear though - by “energy” I don’t mean the “jump-up-and-down-all-day like a maniac” kind of energy, but the deeper, sustained, electric kind of energy that it takes to hold a thought, an idea, a philosophy or a concept and to hold its promise and its power, and to explore its depth and potential to the max no matter where it may lead – all without recoiling, being distracted, dismissing it or simply not being able to “go there” in the first place.
I read in a book once that it takes 12 times the energy to hold a spiritual thought than a normal everyday “what shall I have for dinner?” kind of thought. While I’m not sure how on earth this could possibly be measured, I’m sure that all of us can appreciate that different levels of thought require different amounts of energy, as we all know how poor our mental faculties can be when we are ill or run down – we simply don’t have the energy available to us to read a book, let alone ponder on the bigger issues of life.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Mango Salad
There’s nothing more refreshing than a lovely summer salad made with fresh green leaves and juicy fruits. This one works especially well, and you’re bound to have lots of lettuce and mangos in your kitchen during the warmer months, so this is a great way to combine the two.
SERVES 2-3
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large very ripe mango
- 1 head lettuce of your choice (Battavia, Cos or Lambs lettuce works well.)
- Handful fresh coriander (cilantro)
- OPTIONAL: 1 additional large mango plus 1⁄2 cup water and 2 tablespoons hemp oil to dress
Directions
- Finely shred the lettuce into thin strips using a sharp knife and place in a large bowl.
- Chop the mangoes into thin strips or cubes and add to the bowl.
- Finely chop the coriander (cilantro) and add to the bowl. Mix all ingredients well.
- Serve as is, or top with a dressing as per the optional recipe above. Make by blending all ingredients well, ensuring no lumps.
Additional Notes
You can make another great salad using orange segments alongside your traditional lettuce, avocado and tomato. Orange also tastes wonderful added to this particular salad.

KAREN'S WORLD
A great week this week as I met with Drs Rick & Karen Dina at the Wild Food Cafe in Islington, London, and then had a great catch-up with its co-owner, Joel Gazdar. If you haven't visited the
Wild Food Cafe
yet (there are two in London and they're very different to each other), then they come highly recommended!
In case you're wondering, I ate the courgetti spaghetti for my main course, and banoffee pie for dessert. Yum!
Back at the HQ we've been busy welcoming new members to "Go Raw with Karen" and also preparing for the BIG event of the year in October for raw food business owners.
And in the gym I've been working as hard as ever - if not harder in cfcaet. As a result, I have moved to a new level in my strength, flexibility and balance, which is great as sometimes plateaus can last a little too long for my liking!
Yesterday was a big
Bullet Journal
day for me (I spend 2-3 hours per month setting the coning month up in my BJo, and now I'm all set for a rocking August.
