A couple of years ago I climbed Mount Kilimanjaro, and I discovered something truly amazing.

You see, the food was great, but for some reason every time I ate at camp I was left really poorly with sickness and diarrhea- which isn’t great at the best of times, let alone when you are camping in a 2 man tent with your 66 year old Dad, in freezing conditions, and hiking up to 10 hours a day at a high altitude!

I was afraid that if I ate less then I would have less energy, and not make it to the top.

Fortunately, I had prepared ahead with all my ‘energy tools’ that I had learned from being in my business and needing to manage my energy as a sensitive type or Earth angel.

What was so amazing was that within a few hours of stopping the food that was making me sick and switching to my secret super foods I was bouncing up that mountain!

I believe whatever summit you are striving towards in life- whether its to make your first million, change the World through philanthropy, find more balance and peace in your daily routine or all of the above then these supportive secrets can help!

These tools and tips can help support you if you are sensitive, travel a lot, or need to be on your ‘A’ Game for an event or meeting!

Rhodiola- This is my flying secret- it is a literal miracle worker- it completely stops you getting tired and stressed! I just take it on the flight and for a day or two after landing. Usually I buy a tincture and add it to water but you can take a pill as well- whatever you prefer. I once forgot it and felt dizzy and weird-but when I remember I don’t even notice and can roll right into whatever I am doing, whether working with clients, trekking to jungles or attending a swanky do!

I am one of those people who doesn’t care ‘how’ I just want the result – fast- but if you love the sciencey-how bit then check out this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhodiola_rosea

Maca- Essential if you are at a high altitude or having hormonal challenges, it supports your adrenals and makes you more energised. I don’t go crazy on this and eat it daily like some folks- but I had a liquid form of it on Kili and it was awesome- even my Dad was a fan and he is a super sceptic of all this ‘woo woo nonsense’- In fact he said without it on summit night he would not have made it Thanks Maca! I like it in hot chocolate with raw cacao and almond milk mmmmm- yum.

Protein bars – If you’re anything like me your blood sugar can drop super fast- keep some healthy protein bars for emergencies! I like these organic ones- you can get them at wholefoods by the box- or online if you are UK based.

This is where I get them from








Almonds- Just the most amazing snack foods- have some on you at all times! Alkalising, healthy, packed with nutrients and easy to get most places. Almonds are lifesavers!

Coconut water- I always try and grab a fresh coconut or some bottled coconut water when I land anywhere- it totally helps to replenish lost fluids and is more hydrating than water. It has electrolytes in so its uber beneficial- Again I don’t really know the science- just that it works!

Flower Essences- I always have rescue remedy with me, I usually take some on flights as security and all that stresses me out and I have been known to be the one running for the gate- yes even at 7 months pregnant… And my other must have flower essence for flights is YARROW- it helps with all the electro-magnetism apparently

Essential Oils – My friend Christina Morassi turned me onto these when I had my son, and they have been awesome. there is one called peace and calming which kids love- and I like Valor for when I am speaking on stages and have some nerves.

I hope these little tips help you! I really recommend trying some of these powerful ‘magic bullets’ – I f you need a place to start try getting Rhodiola for your next long haul flight and working with the Bach’s flower essences and see how you get on…

Be sure to comment BELOW and let me know your magic bullets for managing your energy and any other tips you have to share!

Are You an Earth Angel?

I read an article the other day online that felt like I was ‘meant’ to read it.

If you are reading this one I am guessing you are ‘meant to’ also as it relates to being here but being a certain kind of person- An Earth Angel.

Being an Earth angel doesn’t automatically mean your whole life is heavenly and that you never make mistakes.

In fact, you may find that you have never really felt like you fitted in, you may have an uncontrollable sugar addiction and weight problems, or you might have struggled with other addictions too (drink, drugs, meds, sex, drama). You may be someone who loves other people and animals and nature so much, and yet often feels strangely disjointed and isolated. Perhaps you have emotions and feelings that run very deep and you often feel misunderstood except by your animals, spirit guides and maybe one or two close friends or writers you haven’t even met!

If you are an earth angel you came to Earth with a purpose and you may have been feeling that strongly since you were very young, as you mature you find ways to help people and want to make a difference through service.

Advice for Earth Angels:

- Cleanse your chakras- As a sensitive and aware being of light, incarnated here to help people as best you can it is wise to take excellent care of your energy and bring into your field the thoughts, people, foods and stimulus that are loving, nourishing and are high-vibration. If you practice cleansing your chakras every day it will help you to stay centered, vibrant and prevent you ‘taking on’ other people’s problems/emotions/fears.

- Ask For Help – All too often an earth Angel gets so busy in helping others that they forget they are also worthy of love, care and assistance. Next time you begin to feel overwhelmed, or find yourself out of balance ask for divine assistance, or speak up and make requests from those around you- You may be pleasantly surprised how willing people are to serve you for a change! Be sure to allow yourself to receive, as giving and receiving create a wonderful flow of abundance and go hand in hand.

- Grounding- It’s important to be here now. You might prefer the higher vibrations of other planes and levels of reality; however, whilst you are here it’s good to adjust to life in the 3^rd dimension. Take time every morning to plant your feet ion the Earth, walk barefoot on the grass or do a visualization bringing your energy ‘down to Earth.’ Most Angels struggle with this one, but remember for you to be all you can be in the lifetime you really have to ‘get with the program’ of this planet and ground yourself into this physical reality so that you are able to function. Use your breath and some positive affirmations and do what needs to be done to make your stay here comfortable and life-affirming!

- Diet and Exercise – Without some care to your health and especially your vibration you will struggle. Take your intuition shopping and to every restaurant so you chose healthful, high vibration foods that serve and nourish you. If you do end up at a meal where you can tell the vibration is slightly ‘off’ (say you are staying with friends and you know the ingredients are not organic and they were cooked with resentment or anger rather than love) you can raise the vibration of your food yourself by blessing it. Bless your food, your body and your planet and the abundance it brings you as often as possible! When it comes to exercise moving in nature connects you to your spirit so take time to play, explore, swim in the lakes and ocean, walk up mountains or through forests. Move, dance, sing, run, skip just feel free and engage your body- your physical form is a great gift so look after it and it will look after you too!

- Connect with your guides- As a light being you need the comfort, reassurance, guidance and love that your spirit guides, higher self and soul family want to share with you. If you spend some time connecting with your guides, you’ll discover the sun of your own soul, be able to bathe in that and become much clearer about your purpose. Be careful not to put too much pressure on yourself, you don’t have to single-handedly save the World, and although you may indeed have an important purpose whilst you are here, its ok to have fun and take yourself lightly so be sure to enjoy and appreciate the journey.

Finally, thank you for finding this and reading it, I hope it helps you and I appreciate who you are and send you love! What one thing can you adopt right now to make your mission more fun, graceful and exciting? What one lifestyle change would make you feel more comfortable in your skin and better about yourself? Embrace your life and be good to yourself, until next time,
