Rocking the boat is what we are here to do! Isn’t it exciting and exhilarating when you stand up for what you truly believe in? Our time has come, and the old ways are not working anymore. And what’s more, the more we attract into our lives people who have made the same choices and appreciate us for who we honestly are. But the more of us who make these choices, the easier it becomes. It is a scary thing to do, to step into our truth and reclaim our birthright when we have been taught our whole lives to avoid truth at all costs, to keep up the façades and not rock the boat. Revealing our inner core is usually painful as we let the masks of self-deception slip away, we have to let go of people and life situations which have been holding us back and preventing us being fully who we are. This can be a hard adjustment to make in a world where the individual is fundamentally disempowered. The more we eat this way, the more we live in our power. These foods help us realign, connect with who we really are, and tune into our higher selves. We live in a culture that is intrinsically false fueled on junk food, media lies, false gods and political whores, we have forgotten how to be our true selves. It is not possible to eat these foods on a daily basis and not feel altered. They affect our consciousness and raise our energetic level to a degree that has profound implications in all areas of our lives. By eating such high-potency foods they change the very nature of our reality. I believe that such is the potency and vitality of the foods in this book that as people catch on to them, they are going to revolutionize the way we eat, shop and live. When I was a child, avocados and kiwis were considered exotic now they are standard fare in every shopping basket. Some of them we are accustomed to in different forms, like cacao others have been around for a few decades now, like spirulina some are widely known in their country of origin, but novel to Europe and the U.S., like goji berries and some others are utterly brand new to us, like purple corn extract. Never before have we had access to such a wide variety of plant foods. This book is about the new breed of superfoods that are unique to the West in the 21st century. But these are foods that most of us are familiar with, and if you are not then there are plenty of books out there that do cover them. I was tempted to include avocados and olives, buckwheat and oats, all foods I eat on a daily basis. There are many amazing foods I have omitted from this book, foods that are more commonly recognized as superfoods: vegetables like broccoli, kale and cucumbers, fruits like cranberries, blueberries and grapefruit, sprouts like lentils, sunflower or alfalfa. Many of them are sacred plants in their countries of origin. They have a magical energy that comes not only from the synergy of their nutritional composition but from the way they are grown, the lands they are from, their history. But more often with these foods it is their synergistic properties. Sometimes, it is a particular nutrient you have been lacking. These are the foods that I have been craving, that my body has been missing my whole life. Yes, they cry in unison, Yes, these are the foods that I have been waiting for. There are certain foods that when you eat them, your body is in heaven, your cells start singing, your mind becomes ecstatic. Photo by Suki Zoe What is Raw Magic? There are some foods that have the power to change your life. If you think you should have been on this list and I omitted you, you’re probably right I did so for the sake of brevity, not because I don’t love you. These are a few of the people I am blessed to know and be inspired by: Reuben, Ethan, Zachary, Chris, Dani, Hudro, Red & Dan, Amy, Solla, Ani, Tonya, Ysanne, Annie, Urduja, Boris, Anna, Julia, Caroline, Nicolas, Erica, Soren, George, Jónsi & Alex, Alfred, Benji, Gilles, Charlie, Amelia, BA, Jo.
