ZEN TWO-CORE PRODUCTS DETAILS & INSTRUCTIONS:

ZEN Shape™   Take 2 capsules 30-60 minutes before your 2 main meals

• With African mango seed extract, green tea leaf extract, and raspberry keytones, ZEN Shape™ fights sugar cravings while controlling hunger. Featured in Forbes Magazine as one of the most effective weight loss supplements on the market, African mango seed extract has been turning heads internationally. In fact, to get the kind of nutrients ZEN Shape™ offers, you'd have to eat 90 pounds of fruit. Meticulously developed, ZEN Shape™ was made to prepare the body for fat loss. A vital part of the ZEN BODI™ System.

ZEN Fit™  Mix 1 stick pack with 8-10 ounces of water

• ZEN Fit™ is a rich source of amino acids, which aid with muscle recovery as well as with the digestion of proteins. They are also important for burning fat and helping to lift your mood. A specially formed compound found in ZEN Fit™ works with ZEN Pro™ and ZEN Shape™ to heighten the brain's sensitivity to leptin, so you know when you're satisfied sooner - which means you eat just as much as your body needs - no more, no less. A vital part of the ZEN BODI™ System. SIZE: 30 fruit punch flavor packets per box.

THIRD PRODUCT INSTRUCTION:

ZEN Pro™   Mix 1 packet in 8-10 ounces of cold water or almond/rice milk as a healthy snack at any time of day (or as part of a healthy breakfast or lunch). SIZE: 14 vanilla bliss flavor packets per box.

• Protein is the ultimate muscle fuel. That's why we've incorporated a potent blend of whey, rice, and pea proteins into ZEN Pro - to build the power you need to tone up. Our proprietary powder is made from the highest quality protein available, which is easily digestible and healthier than many soy-based formulas. A vital part of the ZEN BODI™ System.

my struggle with january, my fight. then finally some insight

 

Happy totally beeee-lated new year. Well we're now into February and it took me a long time to blog about this, January was such a brutal challenge. I'm not sure what happened but all i remember is receiving the news of losing a close family member on Jan 1st new years day and the rest was a total fog. 

on news years eve i was on an amazing roll but I went into a deep dark confusing hole the next day after the punch in the gut with the news of his death. then the next week, an aunt passed away. Life flashed before me and i was watching the world around me swirl in slow motion. honestly, Alot of unsettling news came my way in January.  almost every other day i received news that was life changing around me. i couldn't keep up with what was "normal" anymore.

the next week, a close friend who i lean on daily told me she was moving. then the next week after, i was hospitalized due to an unexpected medical emergency. Then days later, someone who brought constant annoying just ongoing conflict to my life, thank goodness relocated. phew! you would think i would be relieved. trust me, I was. but i was so caught up in the roller coaster of other recent life events that i couldn't really absorb or retain any news or "feel" any emotion towards anything. i was just numb really.  How much loss and change am i going to face in one month? But i had my inner strength to lean on. that's what kept me going. That passionate Karen Carrington that i love so so very much and needed deeply!!!!

then i reflected and remembered strong strong beautiful woman Madeleine who taught me how to relax and meditate and just truly live in the moment.. Something i totally suck at. I'm ALWAYS on the go on a heightened intense high and struggle to be in the peaceful moment. 

when i met Madeleine, she looked me right in the eye, quickly picked up on my inner pain and cared so much to ask me "what's wrong?" she made time for me, sat with me, nourished me, guided me, and believed in me. After our awesome convo, I remember her telling me "Karen, you're so balanced and well grounded. I was like really? What a compliment coming from her! (she's a fantastic mentor) She says I like to serve others and I'm balanced! she's right! i AM balanced. I'm just a bit shaken up right now. but i always land on my feet. ...always

oh! and On top of that, She gave me a beautiful gift. A precious book http://www.amazon.ca/Grail-Springs-Holistic-Detox-Spirit/dp/1552786854 that helped me regain control of my overall health and was truly the best step i ever made on my journey to inner wellness. You haaave to read it! its beautifully written. a holistic detox for the body, mind and spirit

yup! i'm the photographer of this stunning photo. The grounds at Grail Springs

OMG! and the best part, I walked her beautiful grounds at Grail Springs http://www.grailsprings.com/and connected with the horses! yes! moi!  did you know horses represent freedom and power?  horses stand for the balance of wisdom and power and freedom.  riding a horse make people feel they could free themselves from their fears. Horses are symbols of travel, movement, and desire.

this is my vision of 2015.movement for desire.

Thank you Madeleine for giving me the push to face 2015 and grab hold all of its potential and opportunities. Bring it on 2015!

me after meditation with a special group of ladies at Grail Springs. thanks so much for having me. I recommend it to anyone who wants to cleanse their mind and body, detox and recharge. simply reconnect with your soul.

Proverbs 21:31 ^"The horse is prepared for the day of battle, but deliverance and victory are of the Lord"

Dreading being alone on New years Eve? Day #9

Are you dreading being alone on New years Eve? You don't have any plans in the next few days? Hey why don't you turn your New Year's experience around by creating your own fun cool celebration?!?!?!?  

 

I have 3 exciting ideas below. And I have tried all of them in the past and will DEFINITELY always continue to do it again!!! 

 

even though i'm a big time social person, I totally loooove being alone!

i thought i would share . Hope this helps! 

this is NOT how i feel. why should YOU? being alone doesn't have to be sad.

1. Try something new! an interest or a hobby you always dreamt about!!! Find a meet-up group or an art, dance, spanish, gym or cooking class that will inspire you. Just anything. Register and join in 2015! i did! it was so hard but i did it.  My dance class!

 2. Go out to the movies alone. You don't have to plan or coordinate with others. pick that movie that you've been dying to see. Dress up! look nice. sit in the backof the theatre alone, slouch in the chair and enjoy the film! i looove this feeling, if you're scared to go alone, that's ok. this will push you out of your comfort zone and learn to enjoy your own company. if you don't like being with yourself, why would others enjoy being with you? think about it

3. travel alone! choose a place you have always wanted to visit. somewhere that will touch to your soul. Choose a cottage where you can ride horses, ski, hike, meditate. book the flight, rent a car. whatever. just trust me, when i leave the comfort of my condo and travel alone it pushes me to really get to know me. i do it ALLL the time.

Remember, you're never really alone. The Lord is always by your side.

John 10:30 says "I and the Father are one.” 

You can do it!
