 Why Vegan and  (mostly) Raw

All Beings on this planet  get their nutrition, their source of Life Energy,  directly or indirectly from the Sun
( when you follow the food chain, The animals eat the vegetables,
that, through Photosynthesis,  receive their energy directly from the Sun )


so by reducing the intermediaries in our nutrition , from animals to plants,
from dead (cooked and processed) to Life (Raw – plenty of Vitality (Life Energy)

Connecting the most directly with the Source of  infinite Energy
– the Sun
- the most  pure , and full of Vitality  , we can get our Life Energy,reflecting  in our Health and our Lives , elevating our Vibration, and Awakening our Full Potential
 


so it’s just the natural steps in our Evolution
eating foods plenty of Vitality, ( Life Raw Vegetables )
revitalizing us, replenishing ourselves in Life Energy








----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most people only use 5% to 10%  of their complete potential

- If you want to awaken your full  potential and capabilities, start by nurturing with  Living  Food  -  Plenty of  Life Energy  ( Vegan – Raw ) 




and that will open the doors to a world of infinite possibilities …
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------








And have you realized how good we feel after getting some sunshine?
So , yes , we can also get the energy directly from the Sun 

and what greatest example, from the Sun,  of what is unconditional Love
Shining unconditionally with whoever wants to receive this pure Loving Light

So Let’s go to Nature and get some Sunshine
and feeling in Oneness with this magnificent Source of Unconditional Loving Light
merging with Us, and Shining from within our hearts


Blessings in infinite Loving Light
 
 
 
 
 







- Harmony  with  Nature -


We propose using natural alternatives, to products like soaps, detergents, and commercial toothpastes, and other chemical based products .
- Bringing natural alternatives, or using the ones  we offer , such as Natural home-made products, based on: lemon, ashes, clay, sodium bicarbonate, soap-nuts, …



(eg natural toothpaste recipe – coconut oil, sodium bicarbonate, essential oils)
 



 
 
 
 
 
 
 


- Tuning-in  with the Natural cycles

 ( the Sun , the Moon ,  the Nature ,  the Universe   . . . )


Day & night cycles -

we generally focus on being tuned with the Sun and Natural Cycles, and

 this way, we just tend to feel more healthy and naturally energised,

and our body and Health reflect that Vitality …
 
 
 




 

     so we aim to be awake in the daylight, and sleeping in the night,

( just as most nature does ) ...


( usually, if we just avoid using artificial light after the sunset, we naturally feel sleepy, but when we turn a light on,  (and that include the illuminated screens,

like the computer or the telephone), we are telling to our body system :

"it's daytime again, so let's be awake"


so, when we are in tune with the Sun and natural cycles, we realise we tend to wake up naturally with the Sun, completely reinvigorated and full of energy and vitality...


( certainly, we can have some exceptions,  for example when we Celebrate a Full-Moon,

singing and dancing, around the fire,  celebrating Life ...


     

     

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
other cycles we like to be in tune:


Cycles of the Universe ( planetary and cosmic cycles

- such as Equinox and Solstice, and moon cycles


Body cycles - respecting our natural body cycles is also extremely important,

learning to listen to our body real needs ( and differentiate real needs from just habits )

 
 
 




 








 - Evolution, Habits and Freedom

Are we really free, when we depend on something external for our well-being?

Naturalmente, as a Healing Retreat Center, promotes healthy, sustainable living habits, in harmony with nature and nourishing to the Body, Mind and Soul.
 
 
So we promote a dependency-free environment,
and our proposal is that you don’t bring addictions / unhealthy habits to Naturalmente,
 
 
 
Therefore, For the purpose of Evolution of consciousness, one of our priorities is to bring awareness and healing to the causes of addictions, and overcome the pattern by revealing what’s the root cause underneath,
acknowledge that, and embrace the needs behind, and work on them together...

(and we might realize an emotion or basic needs being suppressed and covered by the substituting addiction).

Co-creating a safe space for those emotions / needs being acknowledged and expressed in a constructive way is an essential step for healing.
 
so in Naturalmente, we don’t use alcohol or recreational drugs.
we have a healing transition area, where smoking is allowed, (the proposal is do in a meditation mode,
completely aware, in silence and as a transition to heal its causes).

And as part of the healing process, we have the “gremlin” day, where it's possible to enjoy some of the “gremlin” cravings, without any guilt, and fully appreciating that moment,
(of course, always respecting others and the rules of the space).

And because it’s on a specific day, it’s not an habit or unconscious reaction anymore, but a conscious choice.
This is a start to bring awareness and will power to overcome the addictions,  
and heal their causes…

   - So, do you want to evolve, and feel more free? (free from depending on anything external for your well-being)?...







 
 . . .
 
 
 






Freedom and habits/dependencies
 

Are we really Free,
when we depend on something external from us (or someone) for our Well-Being ?
 

We certainly should enjoy every bit of Life a 100%
Being fully present, and enjoying it fully
 

but when we depend on something external from us for our well being,
believing that we can find Happiness,
on a temporary sensation of pleasure or joyful feelings,

but when the stimulus and the joyful feelings naturally decrease,
 we usually seek for more of that  which gave us pleasure,


------------


The problem is not the Pleasure itself
( There are some plants / natural substances, that, when used on the right way
can be medicinal, and useful on our Evolution


The problem is the habit, that takes any possible therapeutical effect,
and the dependency that easily comes when we want more of the same sensation )

 

Instead, we can find All that we really need for our well Being
without depending on anything external from us,
and realise that we always have All that we need for Feeling Happy and Plentiful












Pleasure and happiness

- Addiction to Stimulus and pleasure sensations



in the modern society we are bombarded with stimulants for the senses – colors,  sounds, pleasures, , in such a way, that the natural world starts to seem boring because it seems not to  stimulate us so much as this artificial world that we got addicted to…



and suddenly we get trapped in this world of pleasure and sensations, of temporary joyful sensations, that we confuse with happiness, thinking we found some joy, but as the stimulus ceases, suddenly that joy also finishes,

and then, as we want more of that sensation, so we want more of what gave us that sensation, (coffee, Sugar, masturbation, television or videogames, with intense colors and sounds) and so, we get trapped in this world of temporary pleasure and stimulus for our senses, and consequent sadness as the stimulants cease to exist, comparing to  real happiness , that lasts long, independently of the external stimulus



but if we get trapped in “wanting more sensations”, it can become an escape of the natural world



and then, with so much stress modern people live in, that we want substances to help us relax, (alcool, cigarettes, cannabis, etc), because we forgot to do it naturally





are we happy?

are we free?,

Or do we depend on something external for our “well being”
(for  stimulating us, give some temporary joy, or to relax)…



------------




so,  when we start depending on something external to stimulate, or to relax, in a cycle of stimulants to wake up, and relaxants to cool down and relax), when we can naturally do it, but we forgot how ? (or lost connection with Nature and our natural vibration)



so when we start depending on something external from us to get the same pleasure / joy / “happiness” , as we used to get naturally, but now it  gets more difficult, because our cellular senses got numb and addicted to the intensity of stimulus  (wanting more and more and never satisfied enough) and so not being able anymore to reach  the feeling of satisfaction we had naturally



so for that to heal, it needs some time without those stimulants (or relaxants) , in a natural environment, so we gain again our natural ability to perceive the subtle world and return to natural balance.



------------

so we can realise we don’t depend on anything for our well being, so we can really Be Free,

--------------

So, Living in a natural environment, without external stimulants/relaxants, where we can expand consciousness, meditating and Living in tune with Nature, and recover our natural vibration, recover our natural abilities to experience reality, and perceive subtle worlds, in Oneness with All



in such connection that we can feel what the other (who is a part of ourselves) is feeling, because we are One (separation is just an illusion)

we can share the vision o the Eagle, and see what she is seeing, feel one with the trees and nature, and feel all that Life Energy pulsing in us
connecting with the collective consciousness, with the whole,
and naturally feel this guidance for creating a world in harmony with All, and Living a Meaningful, Purposeful Connected Awakened Life



----------

So, we can find All that we really need for our well Being,
without depending on anything external from us,
and realise that we always have All that we need for Feeling Happy and Plentiful










So, our proposal in Naturalmente, is to be free,  from any addiction or dependency,
(Substance or habit ), and whenever we are aware of an habit, or repetitive pattern
challenging ourselves to release that dependency and realizing that only when we don't depend on
any substance, habit or addictive pattern, for our well-being,
only then we can really be Free ...


and we might realise that True Happiness is a state of Being,
that doesn’t depend on anything external,
only Diving deep within our Essence, we can find real Happiness

and certainly,  whenever we enjoy something,  Being fully Present, completely Aware ,
like being in meditation (mindfulness), where the goal is to be 100% aware and present
of whatever we are doing (or experiencing), fully enjoying every bit of Life 














- Habits / dependencies

- Do you have any habit /pattern /addiction, that might seem difficult to let go?

( e.g. tobacco, sugar, coffee, dairy, cooked and processed food (low vital energy),
chemical substances (including medical products),  alcohol
mobile phone, internet,  electricity and electronic devices , internet … )



-
Do you accept the possibility (and the challenge),
of releasing those habits,
and feel more Free
