Slim by nature

My New neigbourhood

So I was looking to manifest a new address. I wanted somewhere where I could relax, have good friends close by, cycle to cool places easily, and have it nice and warm. Well I ended up living in a place where not only is it too far to cycle, its even too far to drive. Yes my friends, I fly to do cool things.  I'll fly to NY to see my pal fern, I’m flying to San Fran for a beautiful rendezvous, I’m flying to Canada (BC) to see great friend, I’m flying to LA to meet a friend I have not meet yet and I just flew home to my parents to pick up a few things. That’s not cycling. Why do i do this, because i live in the south west USA. But not just any part of the south west, I live in Pheonix. AZ.

When I told my dad, he said "Oh thats where the sherif keeps prisoners in tents and feed them for less than the patrol dogs"  I m always supprised how my dad knows this stuff yet on this occasion i doubted him. Even though he is always right, this time i thought he cant be, no one can force a nother person to live in a tent in a desert.  Well take a look

Well even though he is right again, he still always focuses on the darker side. What other person in the UK knows about a sherif in Maricopa County who makes people sleep in tents in the desert?  He misses the most positive fact that the appartment I share is much nicer, honest! 

Ok, now steeping away from the light... i would say, Phoenix is basically like living in the countryside except it’s made of concrete. So it has none of the benifits of the country side and none of the benefits of the city. The nearest shop is 1 mile. That’s not a lot except when you realize most of that is car park.  Everything else is 10 miles away. I spend a lot of my time cruising in kamis car as if I’m going away on bank holiday weekend to brighton or cornwall, except were just going to buy some celery from whole foods! 

It's a great climate though, if your a reptile! If i ever wake up too cold to hunt for food i can  simply roll outside onto the 120 degrees F tarmac and wait till, oh! about 9am, where by its hot as most other places' mid-days.

Funny thing is right now it suits, I’m writing a lot, working on some music and organizing myself for the next chapter in this marvelous, ceaseless adventure.  Plus, I really am traveling around my new neighborhood (the USA ) like I did around London on the tube (underground) It can take an hour or so to get to most places thier too.

So it works out well. Plus Kami is the best room mate ever and that’s what really matters about where you live, the people. And as Kami is the only person I ever see in phoenix, despite it being the 4th largest city in the USA, the 'people' here are amazing!

It's been a long time...

Its been a long time since i posted. 6 months in fact. Wow! What a journey! Yes please. I thought my life moves fast but this is incredible. The last six months have seen such deep and profound transformations that i just dont no where to begin. I guess its going to be a slow unfolding rather than a definitive statement.

What i can say is:

1) I look the same, its so not about that.

2) I feel so different. Freed, completely, even when im not. That is the key right there, to be free when you're not. To be happy when you're not.

3) Im moving to the US for a while. I did not choose this, its just unfolding. Being presented with opportunities and saying "yes"

Anyway, seams a short message given how long its been, but thats it. All will be revealed in time.

Love this life!

RawBallerina's Blurbs

About me:

A being born the instant the universe exploded into infinate manifestations of extrodinary energy. You were there too, remember? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skywawrd, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."-Leonardo da Vinci ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Who am I?

You are me. You see?....A being of insatiable curiousity, the ONE who calls herself Andrea is ever growing, evolving, & quantumly transforming. She is made up of stars, dreamed into existance by the pure creativity of love, and is haveing the BEST TIME EVER BY FAR co-creating this universe with you. yes, you....I danced my way into this world and haven't stopped since. Who I am is how I dance; there is no separation. Pure expression of movement, playing with time and space, devouring music--through this body in every moment is a sacred artform that I am eternally greatful to have the opportunity to share.... Loveing all the genius intricities that we weave together on this cosmic tapestry of life energy....living in magic, giggling with faeries, hugging angels--these are my hobbies....I collect sunsets....continually discovering everything that has ever been unoticed, and loving it with every part of my being....being aware of awareness and its infinate manifestations....I believe in forgiving myself, though this love comes healing...On a journey of learning the art of patience, amongst other things....Feelinf beyond blessed as a beholder of all that is beautiful, and oh if you only knew how much you are loved (you do!)....continually in awe of life's infinate possiblities and how our light shines in SO MANY ways, I think I'm falling in love with the world!!!.....my purpose in this universe is to feel and dance every possible emotion and feeling state beyond emotion, thank you for making that possible....OM SHANTI...Enjoying the process of becoming more and more in tune with Gaia, the spirit of our Earth on every level. Inside and out, it is all one and the same....Living on loving, live, wild, oceangrown, juicey, succulent, superfoods--superhero style. One of the ways I relish the earth's endless abundance. Transfomation of the world begins with transformation of the self, how exciting!.....I believe in instantaneous shift....Thought manifests itself in the physical....Aho!...Saving the planet with all the other co-cacao-conspirators in a super-top-secret mission that is so top-secret that it exists everywhere simultaneously in pure sight....life is all a paradox....The Garden of Eden exists right here, right now, wherever you choose it to be--and so it is....letting go, relaxing and trusting this energy that surrounds us....Every soul I meet is a teacher, every situation is an opportunity, thank you, again, to all those I've met (you know) and I I have yet to meet....What a life we've created! Its the best ever, I mean, its even 1,342,433,683,343,137.6 percent more amazingly beyond my wildest dreams. Good thing we dream!...Treasuring ever moment as sacred beyond belief, this is living alive....surprise, surprise!

Love

Can you hear the sound of bliss?

 I Love the sound people make between the words they speak

 I love the sound of the earth moving

 I love the sound of the space between the stars

 And of eyelids closing as we fall asleep

   
 I love the sound of a new day

 Yawning into existence

 Fresh energy

 Moving

 In this great void of nothingness

   
 I love the sound of my mind when it's quiet

 Of finger tips lightly brushing against bare skin

 I love the sound of new beings connecting

 Being connected

 And the sound of Serendipity playing her harp

   
 I love the sound of fascination

 Of intrigue, excitement

 Of old pain falling away

 Imagine the sound your body makes

 As you slowly, very slowly... lower her into a natural hot spring

 Surrounded by flowers

 Upon a mountain top of your dreams

   
 Follow your instincts…

 And love the sound of wanting more

 Hear the air move

 And imagine the sound of the soft fine hair

 On the back of your neck

 Suddenly standing on end

 As you feel yourself gently kissed on the nape of your neck

 
 Hear the sound you make when being softly caressed

 Engulfed in new warmth

 Surrounded in fresh silk

   
 Listen.... there...in your stillness...

Can you hear the sound of bliss?

I read this today on the rawfoods board

"I open my heart to the rhythms of the earth, the thunder echoes out for the human's re-birth"

I love that!

Being hard on myself

I can be so hard on myself. Its like this silent but felt critical "voice" that creates this real heavy feeling.
basically  its all about decision making. I was all set to book my trip to India and Thailand and then i got a call to go somewhere else. Well I said yes as it was so exciting. And when i say yes i tell everybody. I get excited my energy cannot be contained. Then after the celebration the reality sets in. What do i really want? What do i really need? What path am I on? And the new idea did not meet my truth right now no matter how great it is. So I changed my mind. And now i feel like I'm a jerk and all these people i said yes to now hate me.

How ridiculous is that! Would I hate them? Of course not! I would respect their self-wisdom and miss them at my party. So what makes me so special? Thats right, they would do the same. So consciously know its all cool yet this energy hurts so much. And it comes from inside. It has nothing to do with the people. Its just some kind of conversation that i cant hear. But can feel the results of it. So i tell myself

Its OK! i am loved. Its OK, i am love. Its OK, I am lovable.

I may not have made the Right choice but i have to choose. And right now I'm choosing disciplined structure over joyous freedom. But its not a black or white thing. there will be a bit of both at both places. Except one is on the discipline side and the other on the freedom side. I made my choice.

i will miss the people i was going to see alot as they are amazing and i will enjoy the people i will see. Yet right now i have a path to walk that is into my body and i made a choice that most suits that.

So I am going to India  and hopefully make some music with Adam. the man who made Straight Lines with me. And virium, the yogi goddess of love. and then to Thailand  for endless coconuts and durian and a cheap place to spend the winter. But ill be back!

Too Busy To Write

To busy to write
To busy to right
To much going
To much inside fight

I'm soaring now
The pebbles fall in to place
I have so much going on inside
Who said that line?...What's his face!

...The world is mine
and yours too
And I have finally decided what to do

There is nothing new, no revelation
Just the same old incessant conversation
the dust settles the view is clear
I can see its time to leave here.

But for now check the post below!

Joy Light

Im so lucky. I meet the best people! So this is Joy Light!

The ego jumped in to take control,

Said "come on baby, lets rock & roll."

The I of the eye is the one that sees,

Sees that ego has nothing to do with me.

Step back and observe,

Its kind of absurd,

To think of the ego in a tiny bird.

How does that work within Predator & Prey?

As top of the food chain always gets its way.

Eat up the food and eat up the souls,

Where we stop nobody knows.

Is this like a game with one winner at the end?

And the rest of us losers left with wounds to mend?

The ego crawls back to its dark smoky cave,

Digging the hole to its very own grave.

The ego is dying and Im changing my fate,

I'll no longer be egos living mind bait!

Sara's Reading

This is the OSHO reading Canadian Sara did BEFORE I went to Eden:  Wow!She is amazing!

"I thought it would be helpfull to to write a little bit about the key
reading. I  havent felt pressed to do it untill now...so here it is

what is being repressed: guidance...the truth of your own deepest being is trying to show you where to go right now, this card showing up means that you can TRUST the guidance that you are receiving. If you go with it, this beam of light will show you where you need to go.

your female aspect: travelling...this card indicates a time of movement and change. There is no need to struggle or plan too much. just receive (yin). Life is a continuity always and always. There is no final destination. it is about the journey.

your male aspect: the dream...Dont be afraid of aloneness ( tough). nobody,
weather its your current mate or your dreamed up partner , has any
obligation to deliver your happiness on a platter-nor could they even if
they wanted too. Real loves comes not from having to solve our own neediness
by depending on another, but by developing our own inner richness and
beauty.

the meditation: sharing...you are abundant in all  that you have therefore
you can share of yourself because your supply is limitless..and in sharing
you will find that you become even more full. There is no need to go
anywhere or make any special effort. Everything around you seems to be
coming together" now. Enjoy it, ground yourself in it. You now have an
opportunity to share your love, your joy and your laughter.

your body: the creator...the king of fire tells us that anything we
undertake now , with the understanding that comes from maturity, will bring
enrichment to our own lives and the lives of others, Using whatever you
have, whatever you have learned from your life so far, it is time to express
yourself.

your heart: awareness...(this is your major card) the veil of illusion that
has been keeping you from perceiving reality as is really is, is burning
away. As it burns away, the face of a very delicate childlike buddha become
visable. The awarness that is growing in you now is not the result of any
conscious doing nor to do you need to struggle with making something happen.
Any sense that you had of groping in the dark is dissolving now, or will be
soon. Let yourself settle, and remember that deep inside, you are just a
wittness. This witness will help you become detached and a new awarness will
lift the veil from your eyes.
osho says:"  Mind can never be intelligent-only no-mind is intelligent. Only
no-mind is revolutionary-revolution in action."

your being: trust...TRUST LIFE..take the leap...you will be protected.

the understanding: playfullness...(this is so suiting for you) the moment
you start seeing life as non-serious, a playfullness, all the burden on your
heart disappears. life is a game and games are fun. The serious man has made
the world. He has made all the religion and created all the philosophies.
cultures and moralities. Zen has dropped out of the serious world. It has
created a world of its own which is very playfull, full of laughter ( like
you) , where even great masters behave like children."

Today's Meditation

Nothing is more transformative that total SELF-HONESTY!

In every moment and in every breath I am honest with myself and others around me.

The Sun Behind The Rain

 

Here is my second video. My first you can see here.



Enjoy!

If you are not careful people will put in in your mouth!

I go into the kitchen and one of the kitchen staff says 'hey joe close your eyes." So I do, playing a long. And then she says "hey open your mouth!" A freindly game i think. Maybe they have made a nie raw treat. We she proceeds to stick chocolate cake in my mouth. I mean come on. Its a raw healing center for people who are sick literlaly of chocolate cake and she is putting it in my mouth.

I said to here "is it cooked?" she said "No I think its raw i bought it from whole foods!" So I explained that its likely its cooked and as much as i appreciate her gesture I would rather pass. i hugged her and left it at that. She then read the lable and said "Im sorry its got egg and dairy in it!"

LESSON: Cooked food is so prevalent and determined to be in peoples bodies even in a livingfoods center some one will put cooked food in your mouth.   Thats a lesson from the universe to be.  A test. Are you really commited.

This is quite a difficult time for me. There are no mirrors here. Its getting cold and dark. I am feeling tired all the time from the blow air heating. Im not doing any exercise. Im cold. Im trying to do my writing but its tought to stay at it. Im watching a lot of movies.

Basically even though i am teaching people and that is the only reason i am still in michigan. I think i may go to Costa Rica. I thrive in party raw awake environments. I dont yet have the field to create that on my own in a cold dark lonley winter. i just dont have that power. Maybe if i had  alover or a really powerful friend here to support me I could do it. Someone who is as commited to this path as I am. But on my own it seams like too much to ask of myself.

So In costa rica there is a place called Pacha mama  its raw supporting ie 50% raw food is served. But more importantly there are people, dancing, music, yoga, meditation, sunshine and i think for the sacrifice of having the wheatgrass everyday, free accomadation and food. To have a lot of fun, meditations, body movement and mostly raw food it my be worth it. Im not really treansforming here. I mean it would be great if i wrote loads of books buy maybe I am not ready to write my books.
The first thing i teach people in becoming health with food is "live your dream" and living my dream right now is not sitting at a desk no matter what i am writing. My dreams is love, connection,, romance, fun, excitement, challenge, photography, making music and body movement. So maybey ill go...well see.

If i dont consider the cost and trust myself that i eat well at Pacha Mama, then its a done deal.

maybey the chocolate cake in the mouth was a sign!

Sleep=Move

Ok this may be obvious to those of you who are fit and present in your body. For me this is all new. I arrive in myh body and its not such a great place. It feels like im walking around with twice the gravity of other people. But the extra gravity is coming from my mind. Yet I have found away to clear it. Dont belive the signal. The signal is fake anyway. So i get a message saying "lie down" or "Sleep" yet if i wanted to go walk 5 miles to eat junk food or buy beer i would always have the energy to do that. Its a lie and it comes from that same addicted side. Its like a craving:  The craving is our own creation. Our bodies that we so often blame for cravings has NO ABILITY to crave. How can it crave a substance that is destroying it? Are we really so arrogant that we think the body is wrong and we are right?

All your body does is try to function as best it can given the circumstances: WE GIVE IT THE CIRCUMSTANCES

.

And the craving is your interpetaion of the circumstances which casued detoxification process. It works like this:

We have:

► Signal (Detoxification)

► Encoder (Unpleasentness)

► Messgage (Nerves)

► Decoder (Hunger)

► Reciever (eat)

 

And it is at the decoder stage where what we call “Hunger” occurs. Which is in fact our craving. If you change your interpretation of that signal the craving goes away. In a normal process of information exchange there is a sender attatched to an encoder, a message, and a decoder attached to a receiver. But in the case of cravings and false hunger your body is the sender and receiver, while your mind is the encoder and the decoder. And it is in this delicate make-up that the confusion occurs.

What does this mean? It means you body is not craving, it is just getting rid of toxins and in no uncertain terms, letting you know about it. We just blame the body. Quite simply cravings do not exisit in any real sense. They are not something that happens to you as in (I had a craving for CHIPS). Rather a craving is something that YOU do as in “I felt my body detoxifying which made me feel agitated so to stop that agitation I decided to crave some chips which I ate.” That’s a big difference

If instead this happened: “I felt my body detoxifying which made me feel agitated so to stop that agitation I decided to let my body continue to detoxify and in fact encouraged it by eating Sunfood and getting some extra rest, love, hug, silence…” There would be no craving because you never created one. This should have your smiling because it means an instant end to all your cravings for everything your have ever craved, forever.

i know this and live this but what i realised to do was: The same applies to movement. I start feeling tired because and EMOTION is on the move and it moves in our brains (head and stomach) and is felt in our muscels as well. And the INTERPRETATION is sleep. Lie down, eat whatever. Dosnt matter because thats not it. The real answer to give that particular signal is MOVE. Move your ass.  When that feeling comes over, it will go for food, no food, go for sex, no sex, go for sleep. Its all lies. learned behaviours, bells and whistles to react to controlling emotions to avaoid feeling. So the most health thing a person can do in that circumstance is to move deeper into the feeling one is trying to avoid. jump in.

So for me:
Craving= celebrate detox
Sleep=Move.

how about that for a distillation: Sleep=Move.

of course there is a need for sleep but thats a real need and dost come as a question or like suddenly wearing led. Its a pleasent tiredness and we all know the difference. What I refer to is collasping energy. Thats type of sleep equals move.

No Doubt!

I just had a realization. There is no doubt i will not/have not come back to source. There is no doubt that I am healing my body. There is no doubt that i am on a beautiful path. There is no doubt that I am tapping into massive energy resources and will pass through this middle ground into physical mastery. Its that simple. There is no doubt.

I am becoming aware that part of this restlessness is energy in me. I have a Kafa in (ayuvedic terms) external personal. yet someone at Eden Suggested that I am a Pitta by nature. This makes sense because when i was at humaniversity, i had more energy than anyone. There they pushed me through my kafa shell. Now I have seen the way and I will take myself there. This is massive for me. I must MOVE my body vigorously and that will create PEACE.

No doubt

So what did i get upto at Eden?

I could go and describe everything I ‘did’ but that’s not what happened here. It was fun all the way but things are always multidimensional and what happened to me was far more important that what I did. See, to be honest it was simply a case of finding family. That’s what my path there was. It wasn’t about testing myself or pushing my self or being the ‘best’ at something or having loads of sex or having more and more experience.

Nothing wrong with that but that was not my journey in this moment.  I have played those games before and now is not my time for that. This whole experience has been a universal energetic REWARD for the years I have put into to clearing defunct energy out of my system. It is not even a reward given by something to someone it is in fact a self-generated reward. I have gone so deep into myself and cleared so much debris that my energy is now attracting into it, love in its most bliss full human form: Other loving people. Man I have been surrounded by violent, uncaring souls ever since I can remember.

London

streets are not paved with gold. And my quest has been to find people who really want to love and express that with others completely freely. And this trip I found them, a lot of them as well. Fuck! When a think about it, a huge amount of them. Yeah!

I have never been surrounded by so many mirrors, reflectors of light. Beings that get this journey and are in a place of riding waves. And I, Joe “fuck off you cunts” Best is one of them even though he is no more. How about that! When I look at my picture when I was a teenager and then compare that to now.

I just think, man I came a distance to be at Eden. From Hate (Fear) to Love, from Separation to Connection and from Judgment to Intimacy. So I can’t really go into what I got up to, that’s in the pictures anyway. All I can say is I found my family. I FOUND MY FAMILY.

Disclaimer: That does not mean, “I found my family and now I must hold on to specific people”. No! Life is abundant and my family is everywhere because I am creating it as I move through this life. So in finding my family what I really mean is I have found me and this is what I look like in the eyes and hearts of others.

But that’s not to say I won’t com and stay with you all! Be ready….a Joe Best is coming to a couch near you soon.  ;o)

A story From Eden

So I'm welcoming guests to their spots and this girl
asks me if I am on eat.raw food.com. I say yes. We hug and then she says "I'm the girl you told to leave her job. thanks for that because I read it and I quit. " Well I thought she decided not to speak to me because when i emailed her I got no reply. It was one of those moments. I was reading her profile and she said "I'm doing a job I don't like." Well you know how I feel about that kind of thing so I just said it right there and then. leave. So I'm pleased she did it and I'm pleased she liked my outspokenness. I'm so pleased that eat.raw food.com exists. its a nice little family on there. Cheak it out  

Earth Angles

Earth Angels

Earth Angles may you fly

Wide, low, far and high

Open hearts and glowing souls

Revealing secrets to those that know

But have not yet remembered in this life

They see the bliss

Yet still choose strife

And we honor that

And then you appear

An irresistible truth

Such bright light emanating from you

The tight grip becomes loose

Your presence melts away

Old paradigms falling

You point the way

Hear you brothers and sisters calling

As they shine and find

True deep meaning, a shining light

Letting go of wrong or right

Or fight or consume or destroy or war

Or the insatiable need for more and more and more

Of nothing in particular

That’s the gift

That’s what you communicate

Because you chose to pass through this love gate

Vibrating at frequency 528

And have been nourished by

The Native American spirits, Apache, Cheyenne, Navaho

Burning Nick Good

Kerrie Dancing Butterfly

Steve Love

And the endlessly Shocking Inform-Avocado

Bruce and the Sun Kitchen Angles

Green super foods and glowing cacao halos

Ormus, the water, minerals and mud

Friends, family, hugs and love

Now its time to fly away
Children of the Sun

To the best ever day

And more and more and more fun

With love, awareness and connecting hearts

This is the end but also the start

And no matter where you tread

With awareness

Or when you feel judged

With unfairness

Or how the mirrors may not always shine so bright

Or how every day must turn to night

Remember you are held, hugged and totally free

Because you are an eternal member of

THE LIGHT FAMILY

This poem was read at the closing ceremony at Eden Hot Springs

My New Friends

I have been so blessed this life with so amazing friends. Here are my lastest lovely lifefull beings I have had a deep and profound connection with.

 

To the girl who said "just say yes"
To the guy who read Nelson and reminded me "you’re Joe Blest"
To the girl who got my energy spinning the love way round
To the guy who, musically, lyrically and inspirationally, we’re so down

To the guy who healed friendships past
To the girl, my neighbor, who laughed and laughed.
To the little moon that shone all day
To a certain berry that was born to play

To the warmest girl ever who ran the show
To the love king, connection strong, even if it started slow.
To the stable guy, who eats all the superfoods
To the juicer smuggler whose hugs shift moods

To the very first face, a special place in my heart
To the dancing queen, who supported my art
To the unlikely shaman teaching wisdom wide
To the break-dancer, actor, physically inspirational guy

To the guy who inspired my true musical name
To the girls whose energy takes my out of my brain
To the yogini whose presence is just so grounding
To Eden her self for providing the surroundings

To all my friends I love you so
Wherever I am, you have a home

I'm Back!

I got a last minute invite to Eden Hot Springs to assist at a retreat with Kerrie Dancing Butterfly and David Woolfe. It was amazing. Lots of photos and stories to follow.  x

Raw Guitar

Going raw is a bit like learning to play guitar. If you try and do it all in one go you just get bloody fingers. But a little bit each day and suddenly you're making music.

Imagine A World

Here is an article I wrote one inspired night. its long so only read it when you are really in the mood to go on a challenging journey. Its called IMAGINE A WORLD. Enjoy!

Imagine a world where, from an inconceivably complex interaction of molecules over an unimaginable length of time, an energy or force known as life emerged. The continuation of life, once started, relied upon living organisms consuming other living organisms in an extraordinary symphony called the food chain. And imagine that each organism has in it's environment (by definition of it's healthy existence) the exact and perfect food source which is required for it to play it’s part in the biological orchestra: promoting the organisms health and survival and in turn, that of other organisms which depend on it for food or reproduction.

Synergy Project

So I went to Synergy on Friday. It was great. Its excellent to see such a conscious vibe right in the heart of London. Some things were a bit old school like timothy leery talks and protest energy but it was still very alive an creative. The performances were great and the love they put into this event is just unbelievable. Its all done by volunteers and the space itself is Massive. It must take 24/7 to get it ready. And thats just the decor. I reckon to book all the acts and invite all the NGO's must take a full 6 months. Anyway, I want to perform there. Thats my goal. it will happen. My mate Darren came along and this guy is great. Whatever idea I chuck out he is ALWAYS up for a new thing. Big love to Darren, my future electric guitarist rock hip hop soul brother.
