When you take a dog to the hospital, they know it way before they get out of the car and step into the hospital. So are pigs - they know it way before they step into the slaughterhouse.

All animals are intuitive and intelligent. None should be treated any differently for our appetites.

And the all time argument ... Do have plants have feelings? Yes they do.

Should we not eat at all? Technically you don’t have to eat to live (there's a whole study on this and check out breathetarian!)However, we are very programmed to “eating.”

Evolution is a process - if you are not even mindful about how you eat now, let's not talk about being about to NOT eat ...! So while you are still adjusting yourself to not harming any life anymore, do the best you can.

Is this “the cycle of life”? No it’s not. It human who created the cycle of life. You don’t need to partake as you are are a multidimensional-ever-evolving-being/soul.

You’re NOT on survival mode. You are not here to survive. You don’t need to be. You are here to THRIVE, and the best news? You do NOT need to harm anyone to make this work!

You CAN do it - Leave a ❤️ if you want to!

Pizza 🍕 one comfort food that could be hard to give up if you just begin your vegan journey ... You may think that you won’t be able to have cheese ... or 🧀 that tastes like the “real thing”😬. (Ugh, don’t even like saying that!)

Well, the reason why it’s so hard to let go of cheese is because:

1) our minds have been programmed to believe that dairy products are good for us (NOT).

2) cheese has a chemical called “casein” that can trigger the brain’s opioid receptors and made it addictive in a way similar to drugs.

I used to LOVE cheese before I turned vegan, and I loved everything cheesy. However, my mind doesn’t really look at what I need to give up. Instead, I look at what possibilities are out there ....

There’re so many plant based vegan cheese brands out there today! This is what I wouldn’t be able to imagine just a few years ago.

Here in Bali, I went on my best vegan cheese search ... from smoked cheddar, Camembert cheese to blue cheese ... you name it, plants made it possible! 🌱 And oh ... they’re as good as what you were used to, if not better 😍 (guilt free!)

And guess what .... we are about to share some awesome VEGAN CHEESE MAKING COURSES from Bali’s most awesome vegan chef in our new health / vegan boutique online shop ...

NOW, WHO IS EXCITED? ✨🌱❤️😍

YES!!!!

Researchers at Lund University undertook a comprehensive study to discover the most important changes we as individuals can make to reduce our own climate impact. They found there were 4 things we should focus on:

🌱 Eating a plant-based diet.
✈️ Avoiding air travel.
🚗 Living car free.
👨‍👩‍👦 Having fewer children.

Recycling, while important, doesn't make near the impact we need globally.

What sort of environment are you allowing & creating for your body, your mind and your spirit to grow?

Our daily experiences and the condition we live in are a direct reflection & projection of what we constantly perpetuate - consciously OR unconsciously.

The more we elevate our awareness, the more we will realize how powerful we are ... that our individual vibration can affect our surroundings at an unimaginably effective, immediate level.

As within, so without; as above, so below. For a long time, humanity has been focusing on making a change in life by "physically" doing something.

So change your diet. Let go of foods that no longer serve your body. Ask your body what it needs and TUNE IN. Focus on FEELING healthy and vibrant.

Set your intention.

Whether you want to go cold turkey (or cold tofu ... 😂) and drop all processed food first, drop all meat and dairy products, or take it one step at a time .... The point is you know you are moving forward.

However, we are in the Age of Aquarius now, and it's time to learn the new way ... to bring things into existence from within.

As within, so without; as above, so below; as the Universe, so the soul.

Our thoughts create feelings, our feelings create our vibration, and our vibration create our energy, allowing us to access the channels that connect to infinite universes.

If you want to get out of the feeling of being trapped in life ... If you want to start raising your vibration ... Start practicing mindful breathing and meditation, even if it's 5 minutes at a time.

If you are unable to carve out that time at the moment or feel like you can't quiet your mind, start with being present with everything that you do.

Focus on walking, focus on laughing, focus on the conversation you are having with your loved ones (without scrolling on your phone!)

Tell us what you've been actively implementing in 2021 - physically, mentally, and spiritually. ❤️

We Love You!

We tried some delicious, creative vegan Chinese food the other day in Canggu, Bali ... 😍 decent, healthy tasting Chinese food is pretty hard to come by in Bali, not to mention for it to be VEGAN ...!

It’s quite interesting how during this unpredictable time, there are more new businesses opening up in Canggu - obviously we are happy to try new dishes and see them flourish!

Another bonus is they got lovely outdoor seating facing rice fields. The only downside is it’s a pretty small place, so it was booked up quite quickly ....!

🤤 We had: Onion Rings string beans Bao Burger / Beetroot crystal dumplings / Mushroom shumai (the biggest shumai I’ve seen 😂)

And looking forward to try their maps tofu dumplings next time ...! ❤️

Let’s talk a little bit about our relationship with food ...

Our assumption about food and particular diets are what set us up for failure if your agenda is to achieve a healthy eating habit that serves your body and your spirit.

We believe certain foods give us certain nutrients and vice versa. We force ourselves to cut out certain foods WITHOUT understanding the energetic reason behind it, and we leave ourselves in depletion both emotionally and physically.

We neglected the TRUE END GOAL about switching to a vegan diet .... it’s not about health, it’s not about the animals, it’s not about the earth ....

But it’s about LOVE, it’s about HARMONY, and it’s about PEACE.

It’s about CREATING the world you want to live in FROM WITHIN.

And it’s the utmost important to HOLD THOSE FEELINGS FIRST while you take other actions ....

THIS, is what “being in alignment” means.

THIS, is what effortless lifestyle transition looks like.

THIS, is how to NOT fall back to your old self and MAKE a permanent change.

YOU DECIDE YOUR VIBRATION FIRST, then you take actions accordingly.

And there’s another aspect .... about EMOTIONAL EATING.

We condemn emotional eating because we label it as bad. We guilt trip ourselves for eating a cake after dinner because we are “on a diet.”

But WHY are you on a diet? And the real question is, are you emotionally eating because you are in lack (unconsciousness) or you know a piece of cake will serve your emotional wellbeing?

HUGE DIFFERENCE ENERGETICALLY!

And because you want to feel good ... because you want to feel healthy, light, and energetic ...

So same thing, TAP INTO THOSE FEELINGS FIRST!

You know, it’s not the cake that’s making you unhealthy - it’s the GUILT that’s creating the energetic block within you.

It’s the “I eat too much” that’s creating the block.

That said, I’m not saying that you should go all out and eat cakes 3 meals a day! Again, if you are making feeling healthy, light and energetic as your PRIORITY, you become connected to your body, and you will automatically make choices that are aligned with those intentions.

Okay, so now, who wants a vegan orange goji chocolate cake from Alchemy 😂😂😂?!
