The Benefits of Fennel and Rose Hips

There’s something so special to me about the ease of a July evening, preparing a delicious meal with a loved one as the summer sun sets and the air cools. The fragrance of night blooming jasmine blesses my senses through a window as I chop, toss, and season with some of my favorite cello pieces playing in the background. I might steal a dance with my co-chef in between recipe steps.

It’s truly blissful to be fully present in the moment and indulge all of the senses. I’ve been really enjoying exploring new flavors this summer and wanted to share two delicious, nourishing summer recipes with you! I also have a special announcement about a brand new course I’m offering to help you connect to your senses so you can feel more joy in each moment.

Who doesn’t love a crisp, fresh summer salad and a refreshing glass of iced tea to beat the heat? The two recipes I’m sharing with you are so colorful, tasty, and hydrating....

A touchstone for any wellness journey is having the knowledge to limit your exposure to toxic chemicals and harmful substances. Some dangers are easier to spot and avoid than others.

You may avoid highly-processed nutrient-deficient food in favor of fresh, organic, whole foods.

It is probably also a given that you choose pure filtered water instead of sugary beverages laced with additives. Perhaps you have already scrutinized your cupboards and changed your personal hygiene products to non-toxic, fragrance free items.

All of these changes are noteworthy and go a long way toward improving your health! However, there is a way you can go one step further in your journey to long lasting wellness.

That is why I’m going to share a little-known culprit that could be contributing to your toxic load.

If you are feeling unwell or experiencing mystery symptoms without a clear answer you may be dealing with mycotoxin overload. In this blog I will explain what mycotoxins are, why they are...

Water is the giver of life. The element of mystery. The provider of peace.

Take a moment to think back to times you have spent around natural bodies of water like the ocean, lakes, rivers, or even a small pond.

Did you feel a sense of peace there?

In a pinch, a relaxing shower or bath at home can have a similar effect. Even just drinking a big glass of water can do wonders for your disposition.

Even if you cannot identify why you feel that way, it is a magnificent and rejuvenating experience. One of the better known reasons for this can actually be explained by science. Water can help you self-regulate your emotions and neutralize your energy with negative ions. (1) It is indisputable that water is part of each of us down to the smallest of molecule.

In this blog, I want to go deeper and reveal the hidden wonders of water that will shift and widen your view on water  in a new way.

Are you ready to open your mind to new possibilities?

Today I invite you to explore and learn...

Hello and welcome to the Wholistic Living Podcast. I am Elena Bensonoff – Quantum Energy Practitioner, clinical pharmacist, and Health Expert. In this episode, I’ll be your guide on the journey to discover the Divine masculine within.

Did you know that everyone has both feminine and masculine energies? Sometimes these energies can be knocked out of balance by our environment, our experiences, or our ancestral patterns – weakening the access to our inner light and strength. Today, we will explore our divine masculine identities and learn how the masculine can support us on our journey to wholeness.

Yin and Yang

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the constructs of yin and yang are a perfect example of the symbiotic relationship between feminine and masculine and the need for balance. All people, regardless of gender, have yin and yang...

Hi there. Welcome to the podcast. My name is Elena Bensonoff – Quantum Energy Practitioner, clinical pharmacist, and Health Expert. Today, we will be discussing the topic of discovering the divine feminine within. I will help you identify this energy within yourself and teach you how to express the divine feminine in your own life.

What exactly do I mean by the divine feminine?

For the sake of understanding this concept, embrace the fact that “feminine” is expressed as an energy rather than a gender. The feminine essence is the darkness unknown from which everything comes. At the most basic level, we are all born from a womb of darkness into the light of the world. Then, we transition to the womb of the world where we develop and are “reborn” again and again – as we evolve spiritually, mentally, even cellularly.

Hello and welcome to today’s podcast. My name is Elena Bensonoff. In my work as a quantum energy practitioner, I pay close attention when I see trends with my clients. A resounding complaint that I keep hearing recently is that people are feeling worn out, sluggish, becoming ill often, and generally feeling lousy without a clear reason why. If this describes how you have been feeling too, what I am about to share may be a key to regaining your health.

Today, I am going to introduce you to your lymphatic system. We will learn why it is important, what happens when it becomes congested, and I will leave you with three ideas to help clear lymphatic congestion.

For many of us, our routines have changed quite dramatically in the past year or so. We have been home bound: working from home, playing from home, and cooking at home. Gym access has been limited. We...

Hello and welcome. My name is Elena Bensonoff and I will be your host and guide as we dive deep into today’s topic: Terrain Theory Tips To Improve Your Health. Recently, my partner Alejandro and I tested the vibrational frequency of two theories and our findings were eye opening.

We tested Germ Theory because it is the basis for our current public health system and the way of life that is promoted in our society. Then, we tested Terrain Theory because it aligns so closely with the way the Hazda Tribe in Africa lives their life. I highly recommend looking into the Hazda Tribe because they still sustain a hunter/gatherer lifestyle and they are virtually untouched by disease and live long, healthy lives.

Germ Theory was popularized by French chemist Louis Pasteaur in 1861. Basically, this theory focuses on avoiding or killing germs and viruses to prevent...

I want you to take a moment to imagine the serenity and coziness of being wrapped in a warm blanket. You are completely content and relaxed. You do not know hunger, pain, or stress. 

You are weightless. All you know is pure love and the soft, soothing rhythm of heartsong. 

This is what it was like in the womb! Your mother gave you your very first sacred home. Now you live within the womb of the world - held and nourished by Mother Earth. 

Think of the mother figures you have had special connections with throughout your life... Your mom, perhaps a godmother, a friend’s mom, or a mentor. You may be a mother yourself.

These are the women who help you through the many rebirths of life. They hold you when you are hurting. They give you unconditional love. They help you get back on your feet when things fall apart. And they are your biggest supporters, rooting for you as you pursue your dreams.

Mothering is a Divine act of service and none of us would be here without...
