My new radio show on WALKING IN ENERGY

Join Renée McCready and guests on 'Walking in Kiflow' as we explore and expand awareness around the cellular body and how it connects, integrates, activates and recalibrates energy.  We will also look at spiritual nutrition and the energetics of plant-based foods; plus yoga, body consciousness, gaia, meditation, and breath, including how these all flow together in a co-creational process.

WALKING IN KIFLOW

My first show will be on Tuesday November 12th 9pm EST in the USA

Wednesday November 13th 1pm AEST in Australia 

KI FLOW Healing and Bodywork

August deal at the studio

Only 5 weeks till spring, and in Oriental Medicine we often suggest having a treatment of some description at the change of each season. 

If you haven't had a Healing session with me, or have but not for a while I'm offering an August deal.

 When you come receive a 90 minute healing treatment investment of $120, you will also receive one free Ki Flow Yoga class  (valued at $25) all to be redeemed within the month of august another good time to create a practice to support your body as we shift seasons. 

Here's a testimonial from one of my clients;

Every moment and dollar that I’ve spent with Renee has been worth more than words can describe. Investing in yourself often feels like a naughty extravagance, but I’ve learnt that it’s an imperative part of living a healthy life. A session with Renee has a magical, mystical healing effect that provides balance and inner calm. Last time I left a session with her, I skipped along picking daisies like a five year old. I can’t wait to go back and recommend her without hesitation or reservation.

BOOKINGS ESSENTIAL 

AWAKENING TO RAW ebook available soon!

My first ebook will be out end of June, early July, its called AWAKENING TO RAW, its really for someone who is looking to add more raw plant based foods to their lifestyle, and needs a starting point with easy to use recipes and information.

It wil be $25AUD. 

I’ve been experimenting, collecting and documenting raw recipes since 2009 when I first discovered the concepts, and consequently the benefits of raw live plant based eating. 

My background is based in Oriental Medicine, so my nutritional grounding extends from traditional theories of oriental dietary energetics. In my practice as a Shiatsu therapist, yoga teacher & healer, I once offered private consultations for clients using the chinese 5 element theories in combination with Oriental dietary energetics, so it would seem that the raw plant based diet concept would be the polar opposite to my training & background? 

As the Spleen is the predominant organ of digestion & adaption for our digestive health in Oriental dietary energetics, we need to it be healthy to assist in maximum nutritional assimilation & to support our physical strength.  There is evidence by Dr Gabriel Cousens who wrote the book “Conscious Eating” that raw green leafy vegetable, microalgaes & seaweeds will indeed support the spleen from an Oriental perspective and infact warm & dry up what we call “damp heat” in Oriental dietary energetics, as well as support the kidneys, that was proof to me that the two dietary concepts could coexists as I felt so deeply drawn to the raw plant based lifestyle.

It is not necessary about being 100% raw & vegan, but about introducing more raw into you and your families daily eating pattens. 

Creating a raw desert, instead of sugar, wheat & diary laden deserts, making half of the evening meal raw clean live plant based foods, substituting almond  or other nut milks instead of soy or diary, and introducing green smoothies as a daily nutritional boost. 

A few things to remember are; eat as organically, seasonally, locally and sustainably as possible. 

Activate your cellular intelligence within your body, feel more alert, alive and vital, be energized and connected with raw plant based living foods.

TERM 2 timetable KI FLOW healing studio

In Term 2 Commencing April 17th classes will resume as normal 

Tuesday 9.30am and 7pm and also Friday 9.30am.

Then in one months time as of Tuesday May15th -  there will be (as per timetable) one extra KI FLOW Yoga class on Wednesday's at 4 - 5.30pm and 2 new 1 hour KI FLOW Meditation classes will also commence, Tuesday's 5 - 6pm and Wednesday's midday till 1pm.

The KI FLOW Meditation classes will follow a similar process in the way we allow mediation to take place in the KI FLOW Yoga classes.  

The main aspect of KI FLOW Meditation is that of heart-based coherence. 

We will play with varied styles of breath work, unwinding and unravelling right down to the cellar level, dropping into the nervous system and opening up an otherwise closed circuit of communication between the body, mind, emotions and spirit. 

 (un)learning and allowing ones own self awareness to assist healing to take place on an individual and then consequently on a global level. 

Depending on the seasons we will bring in the Oriental 5 element theory as a starting point, as well as drawing from ancient  knowledge and the new awareness we are remembering of our  entire energy systems and plans of consciousness.

We will bring intent in, set goals in our time-lines, and let the intelligence of the breath and the body guide us. 

KI FLOW Yoga & KI FLOW Meditation classes run on an 'in advance' booking system rather then on a drop in basis.

 (as its a therapeutic style of yoga, so more like an appointment session) 

All KI FLOW Yoga classes are 90 minutes and a maximum of 8 students

(please see DROP DOWN Tab on the blog for pricing structure for Yoga)

All KI FLOW Mediation classes are 60 minutes long and a maximum of 10 students. 

INVESTMENT for KI FLOW Mediation classes will be $15

RAW Flow

I've been experimenting a lot lately with raw live (mostly) vegan food, eating a high RAW diet, that is  packed full of raw organic abundant nutrition.  

I've posted all my recipes (that include pix) in the RAW Flow tab I will continue to add to this as I explore, refine and also learn more and research more.

I have been storing a backlog of recipes on Evernote Food notebook - all the links to each individual recipe will take you to this format as you clink on each recipe. 

I also plan to make a list of the best blogs, websites and information in the growing RAW lifestyle realm so for now.......enjoy!
