We had a lot of fun over a 4-day class learning about wheatgrass juice, sprouts, rejuvelac, Energy Soup, making natural facials and learning about eating with consciousness, the digestion and the importance of enzymes in the live food. We practiced the Living Food by making delicious meals together, yumm!. See photos from the class in the flickr album to the right.
The Best Young Living Event Ever they say!
Ecuador was phenomenal for me. The first day we travelled from Quito 3400m high in the Anders mountains to Guayaquil capital city at the coast, we stopped at the natural eucalyptus forest and picked blue eucalyptus - and smelled it, it was the start of a great experience in Ecuador. In Guayaquil we enjoyed the teaching of Gary where he shared his knowledge and skill in the use and application of essential oils and the supplements. Gary demonstrated the Raindrop Technique® and the Neuro Auricular raindrop (very exciting method) and taught about essential oils and their applications. It was a one of a lifetime experience for me!
Days at a five-star hotel were filled with excitement and learning and meeting new people every day. As I was travelling alone I sat by different people all the time at the meals...the meals are a story by itself at the luxury ORO VERDE Hotel. ( I actually think I overate.. and got sick after departure from being overfed and living in an air conditioning rooms - ojj) But I met many interesting people and got very exciting oil story's. Fex. about a child that had a stroke in the womb, and the grandmother started using the Biblical oil on the child that didn't have any muscle tone. In a few weeks the muscle tone started to appear. The child is now 3 yo and is completely normal. The very last breakfast I sat with people I had never "seen" before, elderly lady whom was telling about the life of Gary when he was in the hospital and how he came to know oils... I listened with all my ears to this info, and among the things she said was that Gary had tried essential oils when studying Naturopathy but didn't think any of them. NO good. It was not until he came across a paper about French research on oils and their ability to increase oxygen that his interest was awaken. When this lady was about to leave I asked her... "did you know Gary when he was young"? .. she said; "Im his older sister " I was very happy to have come to talk to Nancy Personally.
Inside the hotel it was always cool, so I went outside when ever I could, there we had 29º ummm and fortunately we also got a change to take tours; at river walkways and to the native markets (I bought about 20 incredible alpaca wool scarves that I almost was ashamed to pay near to nothing for). The last day we spent going to the VITA NOVA clinic that is being build up by GARY and his team.. a clinic where you get a PERSONAL treatment plan and you can only get well.. from oils ( Intra Venous and internally, incidents up to 200drops a day!!) and food and treatments... and LOVE. We heard several astonishing story's from "patients" that had been there like Dr. David Stewart himself (age 67 or so) the author of Healing oils of the Bible and more. He came to the VitaNova just to freshen up...but on arrival he found out he needed serious support that he got and renovated his health in 2 weeks, and ended by doing the waterfall climbing in Banos! He looked really good and was with us on all classes in Ecuador. From the clinic we went to Young Living's Ecuador farm, we were amazed by acres of growing plants and herbs and first-hand the beauty and development of the farm first-hand. We felt from Gary's talk the excitement for new plants NEW OILS. Gary is an amazing man, soon he will have huts on the farm where we can come and stay and help at the farm. I'm already planing this in back of my mind, and take my family with me. It is truly an honor to work with Young Living and Gary and Mary and their team. I love it!

Divinity Touch Reflexology class with Farida
May 16-18 and 20-22.
It is truly a Divine Touch!
For more information please contact Lilja and Gitte at s. 892 6629 or school@healthmastericeland.com.
What is so amazing is that even on the first day both givers and receivers of Divinity Touch Reflexology have such profound experiences. This is the first time I have ever asked students to write their experiences on the first day. Impossible to describe the personal sharing after each session, however these words will give you some idea of the depth of the work and the speed of the learning and experiencing of the beauty of Divinity Touch. Farida
“Circle of positive energy, safe, curious. Beginning something very new, after 50 years on the planet it is quite exciting. It is surprising how lovely it is to look forward to a new, positive experience, one that brings you closer to knowing yourself. Increasing awareness to the body – yours and others is stunningly lovely and sweet and I felt relaxed, yet anticipated changes, and was not disappointed. Just lovely.”
“Surges of energy pulsing, vibrating, expanding and contracting. Blissful. Deep Relaxation. Singular mind and an orange color while giving the session.”
“A deep interconnection with both myself and the other person’s energy. An inner onion layer is revealed and brought to the surface to examine and learn from.”
“Realizations – Need to learn to trust that it wouldn’t be painful on my injured left foot. Need to learn to release and relax more. Need to learn to receive and not just give.”
“Peace Relax – an experience that I never felt before. I don’t know how to express it.”
“Yesterday’s session was divine and majestic. It is incredible to be able to relax completely. I am somewhat a high-strung ‘busy-body’ and even struggle during meditation. Yesterday while giving and receiving I felt total relaxation and as if for a little while I let go of my ‘ego’ or everyday thoughts. It was beautiful! I felt the energy in the room was so positive, relaxed and happy. It was nice to let go of my everyday life. I hope to keep practicing and receiving reflexology for my health, mind and body, and soul. I know as we go further on this week these amazing beautiful feelings will go deeper and I will learn a lot about my inner self. I also love sharing my energy, love and blessings while giving sessions.”

An introduction lecture each day before class with Reflexology maps, body systems, organs glands on the feet, reflexology tools and more. Each day begins with a movement process that helps students attune to the energy pathways. A most exquisite training offering evolutionary healing and professional training.
Price: $1050
Learning in fun and creative ways is part of what Heilsumeistaraskólinn is about. One of the ways we learn iridology is by coloring irises. Here are some examples from two students, whose iris colorings are pieces of art!

These following pictures are made by Rannveig from Akureyri, Heilsumeistaraskólinn's very first student.
Dear Farida,Lilja and Gitte, I must share with you a wonderful evening
12 of your favorite students had yesterday, they came 10 all the way
from Reykjavík with a lot of good stuff to eat, in few words:it was a
grand buffet. I made a wintersoup with lot of the root vegetables and
only spices that the living food talks about. Some brought
salat, Bergþóra made the spaghetti of kúrbít (zucchini) and sauce, Hafdís brougt
the delicious cracker and hummus and sauce, lot of raw desserts like
mango cake, strawberry cake, marinated fruit with cashew cream and balls of
something. Since we were only 12, we could sit around the table and eat
together, shared recipes, talked about self-healing and changing the
food or not, laughed at our mistakes, shared stories of our lives and
afterwards we cuddled all in my sofa (shame we did not think of taking
pictures). Sorry that not all were able to come, but they are in danger
to be outside of a wonderful group, but we talked about that danger and
we all agreed to try not to let that happen, we looked at angelcards
from Doreen Virtue and we all felt the great spirit in our self and
around us, it could be felt in a mysterious way, but not mystical since
we all are a kind of witches ha ha. We did not decide where we are going
to meet next but it will be a next time. Thank you Gitte for starting
such a gathering, we missed you all, lot of love for the school. Bára
The students met with Lilja and Gitte for the first class since September's Iridology Introduction and Naturopathic Immersion with Farida, this time for the first part of the Essential Oils Therapist module. It was a fragrant, harmonious and healing experience as most of the day was devoted to learning the Raindrop Technique in giving and receiving session. It was amazing to watch the students go into a quiet, deep, slow and respectful healing state-of-being for giving the Raindrop treatments. Farida developed this method for giving treatments to allow the client to enter deeply into a state parasympathetic relaxation that engages the clients own innate healing resources and allows profound integration of the treatment on a very deep level.
The rest of the day was about the essential oils for daily use.
We will meet next in March for advanced Raindrop technique (yumm!) and to learn more about the oils.
SEE PHOTOS on the yellow flickr album top right.
End of this month, Lilja and Farida will attend a wonderful week-long training course in Ecuador to learn more about the Young Living Oils that the school uses. They are sure to bring back new knowledge to benefit all of us in the school.

I just have to share some good news with you all. Once a year my bank offers a health test, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, body fat, hemoglobin etc. Well, I was asked to step on the scale...hmmm you are to heavy, she said (cant be, impossible, my doctor tells me I’m only 1 kg overweight). But all right, I know I’m too heavy, she didn’t have to tell me that. I get a grumpy :(
Next she wants to measure my blood pressure. “My, are you relaxed today”, she said (what does she mean by that, I’m always relaxed :) ). “Your blood pressure is terrific, 118/80.” That was good news, its usually 140/90, much too high and I’m on medication. So there I get a smile :)
Then she wants to measure my waistline. The standard size is 80 cm…well, mine is a little bit more - just a little bit - you really don’t wanna know how much - I got a grumpy :(
Body fat is next. She hands me this THING and asks me to hold it in my hands for a while. Well, as my overweight that1 kg, so is my body fat. I get a grumpy :(
Then she measures my cholesterol...5.37...it was 6.15 last year!!!! I get a smile :)
My hemoglobin was 158...average is 120...another smile :)
So you see my dear ones: that green stuff is really worth doing, it improves health. So now I just have to work on my 1 kg overweight for a while so I will get 6 smiles next year :)))))) Love to you all, Hafdís
5 students from the school enjoyed learning about Raw Food in a class with Gitte.

Since Saturday I have been doing green rice (aha! new dish). Yes, I didn't have cauliflower, so I used broccoli instead and it was great with the sauce (carrot ginger dressing), sweet and sour. My freezer have now 3 boxes of Sunflower Power Balls, yes of course I doubled the recipe you know I have big family (I will eat it myself, who are you kidding). I have also been doing my carrot juice. Oh yes! I had this juice maker well hidden after using it only 2 times. Every morning, I’m doing fruit soups similar to the green one, so I am rather Raw and thinking more about it. I am saving the carrot pulp so I can make the carrot cake or use it in the chocolate cake instead of the almond pulp. Now my window is filled with glasses of dates, raisins and nuts in water to do something tomorrow, I even bought the avocado, looking forward to experimenting more, Bára.
A new experience for me, making raw-food, I had a lot of fun doing it. Most courses tasted great, some better than others :) And a great company too! Hafdís
