Is it Good or Is it Bad?

by Leisa on April 22, 2009

This week I’ve had a great opportunity to practice what I preach! In my DVD lecture “The Emotional Aspects of Healing”  I talk about value judgements and how we label situations as “good” or “bad” and then feel accordingly – even though we often don’t know where the bigger picture is leading us and the

Colonics on Mainstream TV!

by Leisa on April 20, 2009

I was flicking through the TV channels one night, and saw a show where they were helping people to “look 10 years younger in 10 days”. Totally mindless viewing of course – but I couldn’t believe what I saw on there! Along with the botox treatments, dermal fillers, eye-lifts, exercise, hair do’s and tons of

Comparing Ourselves To Others

by Leisa on April 18, 2009

Hhmm.  This is a difficult subject for me.  In the past I spent a lot of time comparing myself to others and felt bad because I just didn’t measure up.  Which led to doing a lot of personal growth work and over time I developed a much more healthy self-esteem and sense of self. Just

You’re Not Lazy – It’s Your Thyroid!

by Leisa on April 16, 2009

One of the saddest things I hear – and I hear it often – is the way people describe themselves to me in clinic when I ask about their lifestyle habits – sleep, exercise and ability to get things done. You wouldn’t believe how many times I hear – “Oh, to be honest, I’m really lazy.

Are You a “Righteous” Raw Foodie?

by Leisa on April 14, 2009

Every now and then I come across someone who uses the way they eat and live, to assert their superiority over others – and is never nice to witness. Recently I was reading a raw food blog where one of the people posting wrote some pretty harsh criticism of Victoria Boutenko (Green For Life) for being overweight and

The Magician’s Way Seminar

by Leisa on April 12, 2009

In March, My partner and I and I spent a weekend at a seminar training called “Master Your Destiny” with William Whitecloud, the author of the book “The Magician’s Way“. I really enjoyed the book and thought there were some quite profound teachings contained within it, and when I saw that a weekend training was

Raw For 900 Days!

by Leisa on April 10, 2009

While I was over in Perth last weekend, I caught up with some friends of mine, John Wood and his wife Ronnie.  They were generous enough to have me over for a flying visit for dinner, and they made me the most fantastic four course raw gourmet meal! John is a real inspiration.  Three years

Are You Comfortable in Your Own Skin?

by Leisa on April 8, 2009

Following on from my blog post a week ago “What Did We Do Before Mobiles?” I have another observation that comes up a lot when I “people watch” on my afternoon walks – and that is that most people don’t look comfortable in their own skin. If you just look around you will notice quite

L is for Lemons

by Leisa on April 6, 2009

I love lemons! The humble lemon is such a powerful healing tool in a our “food as medicine” tool-kit, and they make a wonderful addition to our diet. Lemons are thought to be acidic but due to their high mineral content they are actually alkalising upon digestion.  Lemons are a natural antiseptic inside and out and stimulate the digestive

What is Functional Pathology?

by Leisa on April 3, 2009

Today I am off on a whirlwind trip for ARL Pathology, lecturing at Practitioner Discussion Groups for Doctors and Naturopaths in Adelaide and Perth. ARL is the leader in the field of what is called “functional pathology”.   Not just looking for overt diseases, their large range of comprehensive tests search for biochemical imbalances that can
