FAQ
-
What do you mean by All?We are all an aspect of One Being, as is everything in creation, in all levels/realms of reality, and all Universes, even those we are not aware of. I call this ‘whole’ All, and for me this includes all consciousnesses, all matter and all energy, all darkness and all light, all that is and all that is not.
-
What do you mean by the heart of All?I can only share my awareness, which is always evolving. For me, there is one Consciousness, connecting us all via the heart. This Consciousness is fully aware and conscious of everything, it is the source of All. It feels beyond my human comprehension, yet I also feel I know it totally. I call this highest love connection, the heart of All.
-
What is awareness?Awareness is how much we can make sense of our experience, of the information coming in through our senses. Our senses include higher senses like knowing and intuition.
-
What do you mean by heart conscious?To be heart conscious is to be conscious, or aware, of the consciousness, health and well being of the heart. For me, this includes all the mind, body and soul levels of the heart and all the heart centred connections that we make on the those levels.
-
How are you going to help me become heart conscious?All the products and services my Soul Friends and I share, are consciously created to help raise your vibe and/or experience heart conscious vibes. This can help you become more aware of the truth that we are all One, and have more experiences that make this a reality for you. Awareness of this oneness brings the willingness to open your heart and love all life. The start up social media we offer, Heart Space, aims to be a safe space, where members can support each other in taking care of their heart, mentally, physically and spiritually, and to become more aware of their natural heart connections. We hope we can share our love of all life. You can join here.
-
Why is it important to become heart conscious?We feel it's is important because, when we become heart conscious, we instinctively know what is best for us, and what to do about it. It becomes effortless to care for the consciousness, health and wellbeing of our minds, bodies and souls. Awareness of our heart connection with our tribes, humanity and our environment, also means we naturally look after each other and our planet, without any loss for ourselves. It is our vision to live in a world where everyone is heart conscious.
-
What is a soul?Our soul is our eternal presence that is unique, timeless, always conscious and completely aware of itself and its connection to everything. It is the experiencer of our experiences and our aspect of All that evolves, by using the awareness gained from our many lives here on earth (and other places and dimensions).
-
What is soul essence?This is the nature of our soul, our unique qualities and energy signatures that make up our personal aspect of All. It is the part of us that is expressed in all our lives, it is our true 'personality'.
-
What is soul expression?Our soul creates or manifests an expression of our soul essence, here in the physical realm, through our heart. This can be in the form of our work, creativity, enjoyment or any other means where we feel our heart is given freedom of expression. It's our true passions and desires made real, and is always love based in intention. It is how our soul becomes tangible here on Earth.
-
What is consciousness?In my understanding consciousness is a living breathing field of information that's aware of itself. We are all an aspect of this consciousness and can expand our awareness of all other aspects of consciousness.
-
Why expand consciousness?Altering or expanding our awareness of consciousness is a way to learn more about the Universe and ourselves, and experience connectedness and new levels/realms of reality.
-
How do I tell when my consciousness is expanded or altered?Your experiences of consciousness states will be unique to you and all of them are valid and important. Here are some examples of experiences which you may have; seeing colours or flashing lights, tingling in your body, sensations in your body around your chakra areas, visualisations, hearing music, sensing other realities, feeling a natural high, feeling light and expanded, feeling loving and open and knowing things you didn't know before. You can have very vivid experiences, however, the effects of expanding your consciousness are usually subtle to start with and will gradually increase with practice. You may also experience lasting changes, for example, more synchronicities begin to happen. These are moments in time when everything seems to work in perfect harmony, has meaning for you and brings benefit into your life.

Are your products tested on animals?I am really passionate about using everything cruelty free. All the products we sell are not tested on animals by us, and everything I use to make them is as cruelty free as I can currently get. I always ask the suppliers of our materials for their animal testing policy if it is not already stated. However, there may be some material that are, e.g., I use Epson ink for printing (because it is pigment based, i.e., it doesn't run if it gets wet) and they claim to only test on animals if required to by law, which means in some cases they have to. As far as I am aware it is the same for all printer ink manufacturers, with the exception of some screen printer ink. I will continue searching for completely cruelty free alternatives. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear from you, contact me here. I share our suppliers and any responses from them, here.

What does 'Activated' mean in your ingredients list?All the nuts and seeds we use in our Vibe Chocolate, cafe goodies and Soul Sweets are activated. The process known as 'Activation' is where nuts or seeds are soaked for a specific amount of time and then dried again. The soaking awakens the dormant nut or seed and starts its germination, decreasing its protective anti nutrients, making them easier to digest. We either buy already activated nuts and seeds from Raw Living or activate them ourselves using the following method: They are soaked in filtered water (the Epic water filter we use removes chlorine, fluoride and most other chemicals and nasties) with a small amount of organically approved sea salt. They are then rinsed and dried at low temperatures, some are kept raw and others are dried in an oven on low settings. Those that are Raw (uncooked & minimally processed at low temperatures to retain goodness) are indicated with a Ù in the ingredients list.

Pacari source their beans, native organic certified varieties of Theobroma Cacao (Arriba Nacional), from small farmers whose trees are within the Amazon rainforest (not monoculture plantations) and all are grown in Ecuador.
