Juice Feasting Days 12, 13

Edging into the 2 week mark!

Well I now come to the conclusion that cramming our required 2lb of green leafies and a head of celery into the Vita to make only a little more than 2QT juice makes a really really dense green drink. Adding in the watercress and broccoli truly top off the kermit explosion! Very similar to drinking 32 ounces of wheatgrass; powerful and packed with a punch! I chug as much as possible and wait until I get the gusto to do the same again. Comical I suppose. People tell me I'm getting too thin, so here I go for real with the greens. No playin' around. I'm here to build strength, not deteriorate! These tangy deep green leaves will give me what I need, placing a seed that feeds muscles to grow and my heart to flow. Go baby go. Meditating in each moment, I am elevating constantly, even as tears fall, even as I say I feel melancholy, even as I juice alone and allow my emotions the room we need to just allow, even as I feel delusional for in these feelings I know I am transforming. Blossoming like the blue emerging in eyes that have known, just remembering the truth of what is... at least the truth of what's within. 

This morn I woke to search for misplaced car keys, unfound. In looking I misplace time for making juice and drive with spare key to my 10am appointment at the Cayce/Reilly spa, which offers awesome and unique therapies. A truly phenomenal colonic therapist, Elaine implants the customary Glyco-Thymoline, a mouthwash turned healing agent from the Edgar Cacye readings, and baking soda. She tells me these alkalize, amongst other things. Of course I want to try that, I tell her! I love to introduce my body to new holistic therapies whenever possible. For most the session, I lie on my left side. She introduces small surges at a time, and when she eventually gives me my first long fill of water (water filtered by multiple strategies) my body takes in a lot, she tells me. What a relief, considering I've been on a liquid diet for almost 2 weeks. During the largest "fill," I feel hesitance in the flow as water reaches the area where my ascending and transverse colons converge. This area has been congested for a while. After some slight discomfort, long deep breaths, self-abdominal massage and one more flush of water, I now feel no restrictions or cramping in this area when I palpate it. 

Post colonic, I change rooms for an MLD treatment (Manual Lymph Drainage). During the session, Elaine uses very light strokes across the skin's surface to stimulate the subcutaneous lymphs just beneath the skin's surface. The procedure is very relaxing, yet I remain mostly very aware in a sense of enlightenment. The more I relax my muscles and mind, the more it all seems to flow. I feel sudden and subtle rushes through my body, and at the end of our beautiful session, when she strokes the neck, my mouth and eyes begin to water and I feel one final huge rush. It is a truly exceptional experience; I recommend it highly. Elaine says that MLD is great just after a colonic. 

Later in the afternoon i feel very emotional and drab, with an occasional yet brief cry maybe twice. Now I feel tired. Without EmRose here with me, juicing seems to present itself as a little more challenging. She is very supportive and encouraging in so many ways. It is truly a blessing to have here here juicing with me when she is available. What a wonderful woman she is! For now, seems I'm on my own... which has its own lessons. To review my juices of the day:

2QT SUPER GREEN n MEAN: kale, broccoli, collards, root's greens, watercress, celery, cucumber, lemon.

1QT orange juice

So okay, I have 3QT here; my goal still stands as 4 a day. Now it's time to give it a time. I am drinking 4QT juice by June 25! There it is.  

Supplements: probiotics, N-zymes, Vit C, VitaSynergy (women's), chlorella, MSM lemon water, hemp oil, raw honey, Castor oil pack, essential oils.

Now my mouth is super dry, even after a lot of water. The inside feels puckered, along cheeks and tongue. I'm observing my eyes to see of changes through my feast; I used my small camera for a turn-around point-n-shoot, so the image is more blurry than I'd truly like ordinarily. It's fine here for now. Ever since taking a few classes of Iridology in Patagonia, Arizona, I have been interested in observing the changes that occur in the eyes. Supposedly unless the eyes are true brown, then they may get to be blue. I love blue. 

Are spontaneous, spastic hiccups normal with juicing? Cause I have them.
