Select Recipes from a week at the Ranch, Jim Montrose Ayurvedic Specialist December 2020
When you come to the Ranch for a weeklong retreat we offer healthy detoxifying food that is intended to help you lose some of the acid of the modern lifestyle and nourish. While most people once they get use to the reduced salt and oil find the food satisfying it is a departure from the over-spiced, salted and high fat content of most people’s standard diet and restaurant or prepared foods. For the many who learn to enjoy the lighter more nutritionally satisfying fare of the ranch here are some ideas for healthier foods and a little festival at the end. Most of these recipes will work for 2-4 people depending on their appetites and whatever else is available. At the ranch we always have Hippocrates soup, potatoes or rice and salad. Enjoy these recipes as my gift to you for the holidays. Join us in February and March for Happy Foods and Ayurvedic Balance and Food to learn more great approaches and recipes.

Awaken – Be the Dreamer: Harmonious Earth Intention Workshop 2021
This year has brought immense change and potential, I feel it is asking us to Awaken to Dream a New Reality. Some have adopted and thrived, while many have lived fearfully and contracted. All of us have had fundamental beliefs and habits we trusted shattered. It is a wake-up call and many have re-organized their lives and priorities to meet the new dimensions of life. For those who are still waiting for a return to the old way it has been a long and frustrating wait that apparently is still not just around the corner.
2021 is still an open book. Awaken to your dream to get out ahead of this and make your life thrive. Hicks-Abraham says the observer, one who lets the conditions dictate their vibration, will feel good when it’s good and bad when it’s bad. The visionary dreamer holds her vision of what she wants no matter the conditions around her. In holding your dream with passionate fervor the dreamer can thrive in good times and in bad times (as mavericks who created new products, industries, and countries do).
Join us on January 16th for a unique intention setting workshop and lunch among fellow travelers on this journey to conscious creation to develop your harmonious earth regardless of what is going on around you. Explore how you respond in the present moment gives meaning to your life and creates the evolution, harmony and consciousness you live in. Jim is preparing a special guided meditation to evoke conscious evolution and visionary dreaming in 2021.

Alignment – Your most important relationship by Jim Montrose, Ayurvedic Specialist, November 2020

In the past we have written many articles on alignment and we still find it is the most important vantage point that anyone can take to heal, to reach their health desires, and live a happier life filled with wonder, joy and bliss. We also find it is one of the most critical components of a retreat that requires constant practice to grasp and start to adopt as a new habit.

Read more about the most valuable thing you can do every day. Remember Zaida is seeing patients from December 7th on and we are having the annual goal setting seminar on January 2nd. Stay tuned for more details on our seminars and Happy Foods in January and February. Happy Holidays and Best Wishes!

How you will benefit – Leonard Orr the developer of modern rebirthing says that everyone has birth trauma and usually many other types of trauma. He goes on to say without the successful resolution of this trauma and removal from the physical body it inhibits one’s full execution of life.
