I love Christmas. In my family it was always such a special time of sharing and being together, of giving and recieving and reflecting on everything that is important and that we hold dear.  It was always a magical time, containing uplifiting energy and excitement.

Overdosing on Raw Cacao Coconut Slice!

by Leisa on November 26, 2009

This was funny! Even though I eat what most would call a pretty perfect diet – I do have a sweet tooth and at times can be a little unconscious about the amount of yummy raw food that I eat.  The Raw Cacao Coconut Slice is the one example where my normal restraint goes out

Are You Healthy Enough to Live Life?

by Leisa on November 24, 2009

This was a question that came up on a beautiful day that my partner William and I spent on a yacht sailing Moreton Bay and enjoying some adventure activities. It was magnificent weather – the sun was shining, a warm breeze was blowing and there were even a few dolphins splashing about the bay.  It

Taking the Time for Real Rest

by Leisa on July 2, 2009

One of the points that Dr. Fred Bisci emphasised during his lectures in Australia, was the importance of rest when it comes to healing.  He talked about how during water fasting, one should lay down with closed eyes as much as possible, to conserve energy and retain that energy within for healing purposes.

Healing Without Medication

by Leisa on June 16, 2009

My partner William and I have a very different view on healing and what the body is capable of; as compared to most people.  Even those with an interest in, and some knowledge of natural healing, rarely trust the process of healing which isn’t always pleasant. As an example, just last week William had an abscess
