2012: The Year of Joy

Suki — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 00:58:27 +0000

Ubud welcomed this long anticipated year, with Michael Franti on a soggy football field in Nyuh Kuning. All proceeds went to Bumi Sehat – who are still celebrating Robin Lim wining the CNN ‘Hero of the Year’ award. I LOVE when the whole town comes out to play together. We had our 1st Alchemy booth/stall – selling 1000 raw chocolate truffles, cacao elixirs & cocobiotic champagne – we were well fueled throughout the night..

I usually choose to spend NYE in, alone. Content to order, clean, write, light candles, sit quietly – did I mention cleaning?.. and silently slide breathe into the fresh year, listening to the sounds of fireworks & celebrations. Then awake early on January 1st, clear, sober & excited – to walk in the park, while setting intentions. Not this year. Ooh, change is afoot Sukes!

Wishing you all the most incredible, love-blasted, joy-filled, ecstatic year – do you feel the shift? Welcome 2012, we have been waiting.. ❤

Excited

Suki — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 03:35:40 +0000

From yoni to belly! I’m excited. Very very excited. For the last week I’ve been drinking homemade Cocobiotic. It’s a potent candida-gobbling probiotic drink. I’ve taken numerous probiotics of the years, and with the exception of ThreeLac, have never felt or witnessed any benefits. And ThreeLac, for maximum results needed dietary restrictions. This is different.

Based on the original, sold by Donna Gates @ Body Ecology, our local brew was made by my friend Eric & gifted to Alchemy. With unlimited young coconuts in Bali, like loaves and fishes, it’s the gift that keeps on giving!

To start a new batch, pour 200ml of mature drink into a [preferably glass] bottle. Fill with coconut water. Loosely tighten cap or cork. It takes from 12-24 hours in this climate – you know it’s ready when it’s fizzy. And it can taste sulfurous too – this is a good thing. So buy a bottle from Body Ecology, or Alchemy as your starter, or find probiotics and make you own.

Initial side effects may be gas, bloating & loose stools. This means it’s working – this too shall pass. It’s worth it. Colonics help, but then you know that..

Ok, so why am I excited? Because people with candida, excema, psoriasis, gut disbiosis etc who aren’t able, for whatever reason to tackle their body ecology old styley, can drink this & feel & see immediate results: diminished cravings, reduced bloating [after the initial phase], skin clearing up, thrush disappearing – etc etc. Already my body feels better than it has in years – despite the horrid humidity, which suits me so poorly.

So Eric, being the scientist, had some Saccharomyces boulardii with him. But they weren’t proving potent. After a little research, he combined 1 capsule in fresh coconut water with 1 capsule of Lacto5 which we stock at Alchemy, and the rest is history.

Cocobiotic contains: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus delbreukii, Saccharomyces boulardii, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Lacto5 contains: Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bacillus subtillis, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Bifidobacterium longum, Streptococcus thermophilus

Which is all Greek to me! And check this – it’s the first time I’ve seen any company link bowel health with skin health. Bring it

Yoni

Suki — Fri, 16 Dec 2011 01:31:19 +0000

Yes, I am going to talk Va-J-J, so if that’s too much for you, stop reading now.

I have a new yoni. Without going for some kind of scary & painful reconstruction. My friends here in Bali sell My Secret Ceres – which I call ‘my geisha stick’. Just reading the testimonials on the website was enough to spark my interest. So, cut to 3 weeks later & without gross details, my yoni is rejuvenated & transformed. I have a new relationship with my body. When I dance, my inner self is different – it’s subtle, but tangible.

The stick is an ancient recipe made of minerals and helps to correct or restore the right pH, or bacteria – clearing up thrush & vaginitis etc. Not just that, I feel it works on energetic levels – clearing & cleaning. The geishas had it down ✖

My first offering for Bali’s Spa & Wellness Magazine is out now! Download the free magazine now…

Update! Since posting this, I got my hands on a hard copy of the magazine. Seems a little editing was done to my words [they surely needing some helping] – but buffalo wings? I don’t even know what they are! Next time they will remain truer to yours truly…

People have begun to notice us! The timing is perfect – with my long awaited work visa in hand [Yee Haaa], I’m very grateful for being mentioned in Ubud Life this issue: Volume 2. Number 9

“New to Ubud’s healing scene is the charming Alchemy Colonics Centre in Penestanan. Light, bright and airy, the downstairs section offers coffees and luscious raw desserts and a range of health products and fresh raw juices which can be delivered. Friendly staff and a light and airy ambience make it a desirable place to be. Upstairs, is the place for cleansing the body with colonics. With Suki in charge, her skillful hands are already helping people back to wellness – something she’s been doing, with love, for fourteen years. The treatments are reputed to cleanse the body, ridding it of toxins and gases.

In addition, they run detox programs of varying lengths which can be done at home, hotel or villa. If you listen to Suki, you will never want to smoke or eat meat again! But for some of us, that is an impossible dream. Even so, we can all benefit and walk away feeling lighter, cleaner and more at peace with the world..

The little sign downstairs “Sexy people tips” says it all! After all – clean is beautiful and sexy.”

I’m also mentioned in Rick Pursell’s Blog – Heart Mastery Series.

Colon or Semi-Colon? Posted on December 6, 2011 by Rick

“If you apply the principle – “What goes up, must come down” to our physical bodies, as – “What goes in, must come out”, then I can assure you, this is not necessarily the case, certainly not for me anyway!!

While I have to confess to the occasional lapses into some really yummy chocolate cake, Chardonnay and chips, overall, my diet is not too bad.

I do enjoy a leafy salad and rarely eat red meat, always trying to keep a balance, without become an extremist. Being brought up on a farm in England, with fresh goat’s milk, duck eggs, organic fruit and vegetables, certainly formed a good foundation for my eating habits.

Up until 40 years of age, too preoccupied to concern myself with food, my metabolism was lightning fast and my weight was stable. After passing that milestone age, it slowed down considerably; I took a liking to food and regularly nourished my sweet tooth, in line with my typical English mother’s routine of always dishing up “pudding” after every dinner.

I was introduced to colonics some 15 years ago in Hong Kong with some excellent results, so with the opportunity to use Suki’s services at Alchemy in Ubud, Bali, I saw it as a great opportunity to make some much-needed lifestyle changes.

A few days of drinking healthy, green vegetable juices, eating salads and my diet devoid of any cooked food, sugar, coffee, alcohol, etc., (in other words all the supposedly “good” stuff in life), I started to feel physically different in a very pleasant way.

After the first colonics treatment and my amazement at what passed, I discounted any idea that I was in good shape and boundlessly healthy. I had a compacted lump of sugary material that had taken on a life of its own (everything is energy) and demanded more and more sugar, never to be satiated.

With this gone, I felt immediate relief and re-energised, my bloated stomach diminished somewhat and my whole colon area softened. While I have never had surgery, I imagine the results I experienced could be likened to having a growth or tumor removed. The changes were palpable and noticeable to others, spurring me on to continue.

And continue I did, with more raw food, colonics, exercise and a lasting feeling of well-being. My wife, Lita underwent the same treatment and I could see first hand the transformation in her.

So to explain the title of this piece “Colon or Semi-colon”; I now choose a healthy, active colon, free of toxins, over a half-full colon, slowly but surely poisoning my body.

As part of our spiritual journey, which I believe is not to rid ourselves of these bodies, or desperately seek relief from our everyday life in a blissed out state on Cloud Nine, but to embrace life in its fullest sense in these bodies. In essence, we don’t ascend out of these bodies, but bring Source into and through our bodies and it is through this embodiment, we project out this Source energy (unconditional love) mixed with our character, abilities, and the gifts we have to offer the world.

Getting the body into better shape is essential, not only for our own well-being, but to be able to receive and give out to others, the higher vibrational frequencies that are emanating from Original Source.

Do yourself a favour, BE well, and choose a colon!!!”

Thank you Rick x

Four Seasons In One Day

Suki — Thu, 03 Nov 2011 00:24:04 +0000

My commute to work traversed the scorching breathless heat of Lovina, through arid cool hills, up past papaya, mango & cacao plantations, by stinky cabbages, giant jackfruits, orange trees & vast clove forests. Past volcano lakes, through intense cold “big raining” where traffic inched through roads turned to rivers, and then down, home to warm lush tropical Ubud – all to the sounds of Bon Jovi..

I’ve forgotten how to write. Whilst I try to rekindle that flame, at least I still see things. Sometimes the most precious things are the simplest. Like, um, shiny measuring spoons & cups on strong keyrings. Neither of which are to be found here. Grateful for trusted old goodies from home. And Instagram..

We are building community @ Alchemy. It’s tangible. And it feels really, really good. With this new moon in Scorpio – I’m setting intentions as I move into a new chapter in Bali, with our new PT company & work visas; daily green juices & freshly single – 1 year since arriving & life is feeling juicy, creative & loaded with potential. Took me awhile to get here. Strong visions come true. So much gratitude to everyone who has helped & supported us ✖
