Today I was able to eat mango mousse from the first five ripe mangoes of the season. It wasn't too sweet — just perfect. I served it slightly chilled, which made it taste even better. The local Paraguayan mangoes are sweeter than the ones from Brazil, although they have more fiber. But during the mousse-making process, all the fibers are removed, leaving only the smooth, soft part. Absolutely delicious!

The 2025–2026 mango season has officially begun in our kitchen! Today’s gift: a perfectly sweet, lightly chilled mousse made from the first five ripe Paraguayan mangoes. https://www.skool.com/nature-inspired-living-2560/first-mango-mousse-for-the-20252026-season These aren't the commercial varieties you find in stores. They are the wild, ancestral mangoes that grow from seed without human intervention—smaller, more fibrous, but bursting with a primal vitality ("Urkraft") you can truly taste, smell, and feel. The season here normally starts in December, but nature offered a beautiful early preview. These five mangoes were collected over two days, gathered fresh from the ground the moment they ripened and fell. It’s a practice of patient foraging—accepting nature’s gifts exactly when she provides them. This simple act of transforming wild fruit into a nourishing treat is more than just making food; it’s a daily ritual. It’s the entire process: foraging, cleaning, extracting the vibrant juice, and sometimes even combining it with healing plants from the garden. It makes me dream of our "C-A-I-P-C Nutritarian Cookbook" including not just the health benefits of ingredients like mango, moringa, and sage, but also these "hands-on rituals of connection"—the practical, joyful steps from tree to table. This is the heart of true nourishment: being an active part of the cycle. **What’s your favorite way to connect with the season’s harvest?** #WildMango #Foraging #Nutritarian #CAIPC #C-A-I-P-C #SeasonalEating #FromTreeToTable #Paraguay https://www.skool.com/nature-inspired-living-2560/c-a-i-p-c-the-nutritarian-gerson-cookbook-we-all-dream-of

I want to share what might be the most radical shift in approaching natural wellness: recognizing your body not as something to control, but as a wise collaborator in the healing process. Your body already knows how to digest, detoxify, rest, restore, and regenerate. It knows how to receive the gifts that plants offer and integrate them into its own healing wisdom. It carries intelligence that operates faster than thought, in the way it relaxes in certain environments, tenses around particular people, or craves specific foods during times of stress or healing. This doesn't mean being passive or ignoring symptoms. It means approaching your body's signals as information rather than inconvenience, as intelligence rather than malfunction. It means trusting that beneath the layers of stress and disconnection lives a profound knowing about what creates genuine vitality. But this collaboration requires developing the skill of listening beneath the mental chatter. Your internal compass is always pointing toward what truly serves your wellbeing. If you know how to read it. Body wisdom inquiry: Take a moment right now to check in with your body. What is it telling you it requires? Not what it should need according to any external authority, but what it's actually asking for in this moment. What do you notice? What would healthcare look like if we treated the body as a wise collaborator rather than a machine to be fixed?

If you’ve been around me for a while, you know I’m a huge fan of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) – a gentle way to tap on acupressure points while speaking kind, honest words to calm your nervous system and clear inner blocks. I use it daily, and I’d love to start a supportive thread where we can acknowledge our very real challenges and meet them with compassion, not criticism. #### The Invitation: Complete This Sentence The most classic EFT sentence begins: > “Even though ____________________________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” You can say it out loud, write it down, or even tap along if you know how. The power is in the honest admission paired with unconditional self-acceptance. #### 🌿 Here are a few real-life examples from my world: On sharing my wisdom: “Even though I have so much experience I want to share, but I feel unsure how to find my true tribe who will appreciate it… I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” On the digital struggle: “Even though I want to connect deeply with people online, but I also feel overwhelmed by screens and long to be more present in nature… I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” On the self-sufficiency journey: “Even though I dream of a self-sufficient life close to nature in Paraguay, but I sometimes feel overwhelmed by the practical steps and doubt my capability… I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” On building community: “Even though I desire authentic relationships here, but I sometimes feel shy or worry I won’t fit in… I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” #### Your Turn 🎙️ What’s coming up for you right now? What challenge, feeling, or situation feels present in your life? In the comments below, try it out. Fill in your blank. No challenge is too big or too small. > “Even though ____________________________, I deeply and completely love and accept myself.” Let’s create a wave of honesty and self-compassion. You might be surprised how saying these words can create a little more space, peace, and possibility.

What if wellness isn't something we achieve but something we remember? I've been reflecting on how our culture treats the body like a machine, health like a problem to be solved. But what happens when we shift the entire paradigm? When we recognize that beneath all the noise and overwhelm, we already carry profound intelligence about what creates genuine vitality? Think about those moments when your body instinctively knew what it requires: the way you naturally reach for certain foods when you're not feeling well, or how you feel drawn to step outside when you've been inside too long, or the peace that comes when you finally slow down enough to actually taste your tea. Question for our community: 🤔What's one way your body has shown wisdom that your mind hadn't yet recognized? I'm curious about those subtle signals we often dismiss as "just intuition" but that might actually be sophisticated intelligence at work. Let's explore this together: 🤔What does it mean to approach wellness as relationship rather than achievement?
