Eat the Green Stuff (Green Juice Recipe)

As we heal ourselves, we can heal the world.

I believe that it all starts with you.  Once you treat your body as a temple, a sacred home, your thoughts and actions will shift.  You become more “you.”  This shift will ultimately change the world.  I totally believe it.

Eating our greens can be the first step towards your healing and ultimately healing the world around you. So what can kale do to stop wars, end hardships; get rid of the global financial crisis?

You will feel connected.

I talk about the connection between food and changes a lot…in my life, with my kids, even in my business.   As you begin to pump that kale, spinach, and other green goodness into your body, you transform. Your cells are changing, breathing in the oxygen from all those leafy greens, feeding your blood.

While this is happening, over time, you will notice that your behavior and thoughts start to soften.

Eat the green stuff.

You will feel a powerful gentleness.

As you pump the greens, the whole foods, REAL foods, the more REAL you feel.  You start to feel more compassion for others.  You start to understand others.  You begin to lead a gentler life.

Imagine if we all did this.  What a beautiful, caring world this would be.

In the mist of busy life, running errands, work, family, etc…you can lose that sense of being with your body.  As you pump the green goodness, take time to connect and find simple pleasures. Gentle surprises.  You start to change.  Your family, friends, coworkers see this change and often times mirror you.  Others around you take on your gentle demeanor; your kindness and unconditional love. This ripple effect can happen. I’ve seen it firsthand in my own life.

Drinking green juice and pumping the plants have been a big part of my shift in honoring my truth.  As the green goodness enters my cells, my blood, I’m connecting, vibrating, and feeling at peace.  This connectedness is so powerful, even with animals, nature, living things.  I like how we are all in rhythm with each other.  Like a heartbeat. A pulse.

If you want to help change the world, the first step is healing yourself. I suggest to start with the dark leafy green stuff.  It changes your cells and your being which is a gentle way to connect with your body, soul, and to others.  Eat those dark leafy greens and transform into a gentler, compassionate you.  It’s contagious. Best of all it can heal the world.
