Juicing Day 53

Chug, chug, chuggin' along! Drinking the alkaline water, green juice, herbal tonics, lecithin water and teas. Peeing way too frequently. Wow how good it feels to be off school for the day. First semester comes to its closure. Today is spent inside, as lightening cracks and rain falls. Electricity goes out momentarily and i am left buzzing even more than before. Today is a day devoted to preparing the business card. Aim of studying for tomorrow's anatomy test foils. No worry; i know the stuff! Love the anatomy, just relaxing from months of studiousness. Too fun, too fun. Computer is my buddy today. I clear out the cobwebs of my email and clear the ol' inbox. Summer cleaning. My alkaline water is more alkaline than ever, thanks to the test tubes that relay how alkaline my water truly isn't. So i decrease the flow into the alkalizer and voila! The tester turns purple as Barney. Perfect; i can taste the difference. It's way more cleansing now. Today i sip the juice periodically, pouring from QT container into retro glass. Today is my last day of solo living and tomorrow moves in the new roomie, Manny. We went out last evening to meet and greet. A few sips of wine really took me to town! So much for that! Screwball dreams and all. Whoa no thanks! Not a fan of the alcohol really. I can even taste it in the kombucha now! Hmmm. I'll just say naw to that, thank ye. Do love the green juice. And now i am officially out of cucumber. As my O blood type does not tolerate them, i now may move into what? Oh yes straight celery with dense greens and herbs, roots and such. Those two are my main juicy veggies, the cuc and celery. Well, now what? What else is there? Carrots are too sweet in my urge to kill the candida and balance flora. All is lovely!

Day 52

Well, today i want give into the review of my teachers and dwindle off the feast. Then Mike tells me he is going to fast this last week with me, encouraging me that I shall feel best getting to the goal of Day 60. Yes, he is probably correct, however I mostly aim to listen to the intuitive design of my higher self. What is she saying, i ask myself, the Zen goddess. She is weakened and a tad weary, just wanting some solid protein for the most part. The oil is fine, and yet the body craves more! Spirit, oh Spirit. Where shall i be? Here, she answers. Just where you reside. And that is where? At the point of your current existence. Contentment in the sheer being. Just be true. Be honest. Be strong and lively and meditative. Listen. Oh dear listen. 

Chiropractic appointment today truly opens my side body, really releasing psoas, QL, erectors, abdomen and fascia around organs especially on right side body. I am renewed. She works me over and over, cracking, twisting, pressing, and releasing. It is true healing magic therapy.

Day 51

So everyone tells me to start eating now; "you have become entirely too thin. i did not notice this before you worked on me. It is wearing you down!" My teacher tells me this today after my practicum with her. Yikes.  i do weigh 120, that's 115 lbs or more lost since starting.  Guess it is time!  I reached my peak and now it is time to start eating solids again. It is scary, and just in the intake of simple miso I am brought back to a resemblance of physicality. Surely i no longer ride mostly in that spiritual realm.  I can easily juice again; no need be stressed though. I suppose that even though I desired to go 'til day 60 on juice, I am willing to let go and let god(dess). Will soak the prunes tomorrow. This has been an amazing journey, and I am thrilled to have experienced such an opportunity!  My emotions brought tears today, and i am sad in a way to come down from this space of high, yet thankful to ground again.  Three massages really wore me out this afternoon. 

I notice I am working with non-judgement, and today i am challenged with Emily concerning this topic. After our fabulous spiritual discussion last eve, i suppose that i simply flared-up today in opposition of that opening and placed that judgement. Ah well. Time sync and non-judgement = my journey today.  Lessons to be learned. lessons learning. Lesson learned.

Juices:

2 QT celery, cucumber, jerusalem artichoke, burdock, wheatgrass, parsley, ginger, prickly pear, collard, romaine

Holy Day 50!

YIN.

So imma just start with these pics and say that the day opened with our class at the Retirement home at the hospital, with massage chairs in the front room, a place full of inquisitives, one grumpy woman with disturbed peace (or so she kept telling us), sleepy-eyed exits, exuberant workers, one groaning, oh-ing and ah-ing panty-less woman wanting a man with broad shoulders and a thin waist next time we come (alright, grandma, order's up). And eventually, people begging to come back, and even sneaking in a few more minutes under our hands. What an adventure! The final woman of my afternoon came to me with spinal arthritis and 2 cases prior of cancer; ten minutes insufficient, i worked double and was reprimanded. Oops, bag it teach! The entire time at the Hospital i felt almost anti-terrestrial and totally in the ethereal.

During lunch with the ladies, some g-juice, miso soup (broth only) and green tea sippage included, I eye the fresh raw sushi grade tuna with delight. Hmmm? Ceviche is recommended for my raw-ness should i so desire to go there in the future... yikes! The broth immediately gives me energy and a much greater sense of grounded-ness... wudda ya know?! such little alternative liquid and I am back to life, back to reality. Death has been coming to mind, like in the Celestine Prophecy when the human figure reaches a state of disappearance... the oneness with spirit, death of the physical. Wonder if i was truly invisible during those brief moments. Post lunch comes Cayce holistic remedies class, during which we learn about liver and kidney cleanses, natural remedies for arthritis, back pain, sciatica, diabetes. Very interesting, though my energy flops, sending me for a delicious kombucha (no good for me with candida)? Then i go for my integrative chiropractic appointment-- like, WHOA! This is def. my practitioner, i think to myself. She goes diligently deep in the ribs, twisting body, cracking spine, loosening side body and sacrum, releasing carpals and hands in general, getting in the abdominal cavity with psoas fusion and even inviting me to feel my kidneys. An adventure in itself! I rise dizzy, rejuvenated and a bit discombobulated. Time to clear. Time to be clear! I am cleared. I am clear! In a strange space, I head to Heritage and grab a little tub of honey, fizzy water, Epsom salt, anti-candida armor and head home to get down with some South River Golden Millet MISO! This really settles me to study for my Anatomy Final. So, here i go to Castor pack n' get down with the body. Wahoo! What an incredible day. 

Juice:

1 1/5 QT celery, lemon, cucumber, wheatgrass, parsley, romaine, burdock, jerusalem artichoke, broccoli sprouts, ginger.

Supplements:

You gonna get it!

Treatment:

Chiro Expanded, Castor pack.

Day 49 it is!

I float with Spirit! 

Yoga begins the day at 

9:30, post lemon and MSM action. A bit tentative for my first class of what they call OceanFlow, i appear at the door, turn around as class is begun, and walk down the hall only to be followed by lovely Melanie who invites us inside. These Ocean waves today roll with a bit of wind and strength, Me riding among them. Flowing through the ocean of yoga, we pretzel and wrap ourselves within and around ourselves, balancing on upper arms in wicked-cool twists! Coming from the pretzel into chataranga remains a mystery of feat to be (oh yeah, near-face-plant, I welcome thee). I love this class, and we have been awaiting one another's readiness patiently! 

Next trip, Heritage, proves itself no less an adventure as I gear up with greens and head inside to hand to the people across the counter some greens of choice; we may purchase greens in-store and they juice them! It's great and very helpful on those days of delay. Wheat grass shot down, I head into the music, clothes, books, etc side of the store to observe and piddle. A woman catches my attention; she sits at a table in the corner of the store with some equipment and a big genuine smile. "Whatever you're doing, it is Working," she tells me emphatically, not even knowing who i am or what i'm doing. "Before you leave, I must show you how you look right now," she follows. After a line at her table comes to its briefest pause, I sit on a chair behind her little camera hooked into a computer and tell her about the juicing. She repeats, "Well, it is Working!" I smile joyously for the camera and place my hand on some silver circles of a pad; i feel it reading me-- whoa~ SO i suppose she likes what she sees, as her face illuminates while looking at the pic. In it, I am surrounded with white and fringed by faint yet brilliant royal purple. Continuing, she explains that I am currently 85% spirit, 10% mind and 5% body, a state she may reach through deep meditation. And here i am walking around all soaked with spirit. No wonder i feel so easily persuaded into meditation deeply. Magic. Sheer glorious intended magic of juice! Yin and yang are balanced; juice feasting is mostly yin in nature so my yang essence shows evidence. She is excited for what I am doing and expresses her joy to see me in two months after I begin eating raw and become grounded into a wonderfully new empowered Self. As I leave, she hugs me tightly and affirms my goddess-hood while giving gratitude for my willingness to sit for her. Terrific, splendid information, even more than mentioned here! 

With a quick expedience, i exit Heritage in haste, "late" for my 2:45 colonic appointment. We begin with an hr and 1/2 MLD therapy session which begins with me shivering in doubt that I may actually relax in my current state of 115 lb-thin with A/C blowing directly on my body from the window unit. Blanket uncovers limbs that lock-up! Soon, she turns the air off and i relax more fully into subtle yet strong pulsations in body, one I recognize from previous sessions: a twitch that seems to lengthen my left leg and shorten the right. Hm?! In and out of meditative trance I roam as mouth occasionally waters from lymph movement. 

Then comes the impressive colonic. My therapist is stunned that even after 48 days of juice I release so much solid matter. She is truly amazed! Some of it is gunky, goey sticky-icky.  Beet juice from last night runs red through the tube. Some flakes of deep dark brown leave my body also. "You've released almost double the water I put inside you," she tells me after explaining my true need of drinking water because if not I may be endangered. Yikes, ok then... water it is!

(now sipping) This evening I head to a local raw food potluck on request of a friend. After such a day, energy wanes. So i sip down an ElectriFire and go give 'em what i got. They ask all about the feast, and we also discuss yoga, fish eating, Raw Spirit Fest, personal spiritual practice and various other tid bits intertwined. I leave after about one hr and return to my wonderful abode for laundry, morrow's juice and tonic prep and an Epson salt and Detox oilbath: glorious flowious! Tibetan monk music sounds from speakers in bedroom as I type. Supposed to align chakras. I am excited about today and look forward to the school week, reminder emerging to remain here in this present moment... "be here now." And here I am!

Today I experience back pain along the right erectors between scapula and lumbar. In my auric photo, the field is fairly well-formed except the slightest dip at the upper right side. The lady did ask if I have pain on the right side. yes. P is lighter. Right shoulder a bit achey. Mental state clear. Sensitivity to outside energy (people, esp. groups, phone, plants, etc) heightened.

Day 48!

Yeha. 

<--B.P.

Great Sleep-In shesh n Awesome show today called Project Revolution hosted by Linkin Park left me surprisingly super excited and ready for more live music. We arrived around 4:30 just in time for the Street Drum Corps, a firey, incredibly ritualistic sounding tribal like furious toredo tornado of sound and drumming, even on trash cans. Oh was i moving, like back n forth in my seat... a bit overwhelmed on the juice yet joyous. We had a blast with the music, and after sitting for Ashes Divide, watching in wonder at the highly emotional rockers blasted off on stage. Following was the Bravery, then Chris Cornell (think Sound Garden singer, with a rippin' bod and majestic vocals), then of course Linkin Park. I was absolutely blown away by Linkin Park. Both them and Cornell rocked the house, announcing with glee that this is a perfect night with optimal weather and a truly energizing crowd. I freakin love the Linkin Park now; yes, surprisingly I am a fan! They sound great, feed and fuel wonderful energy and stand for glorious causes. yes, my energy waned on and off throughout the show and still i danced like a princess banchee of Mars. Excessive bee pollen is the answer indubitably.  Mike agrees, mouths full of the yellow gooey goodness.  Driven by the bee energy, we buzz and bounce, ducking and swinging our tails, stingers out! Fun times for sure! I love it. 

Juices: 

Juiced at the Heritage, about 2 or 3 QTS (YAY Heritage, you rock!)

1/2 QT grapefruit juice

Supplements:

MSM with water, A&S, Frequency, bee pollen, tinctures, B MAX, B-12, ElectriFire, enzymes, and other stuff i cannot recall.

FUN!

Juice Feasting Day What? 45, 46, 47...

I am pooped. Two nights no sleep. Four hrs last night finally. Almost passed out yday at school, well i got really so they tell me hypoglycemic. Sweaty, dizzy and such. Bed for now, talk later. Much to say, like Cranial and wow too tired. k ...

Juice:

little more than 1 QT celery, cucumber, parsley, bok choy, kale, carrot.

Day 44: ewww, ahhhh... double fours, i like.

So, yes this is day 44. What a yummy day of exploration. Anatomy test this morn flows in a fairly smooth fashion after my 4 am attempt at waking, followed by about 2 hours of alternating long-term snoozes and music. I'm out of the shower by about 6:30, ready to make my morning MSM concoction and settle-in for a short study fest. Gloriously, i tread through papers, flashcards and books; amazing, my mind is working well without much sleep. YES! 'Bout time. Though the think-think-think of test-taking plays tricks on me, i finish with an A... last one out of the classroom again (same as last test taken during juicing extravaganza). All's well. Directly after class, i call Dr. Pagano in New Hampshire for our telephone appointment to discuss the P; he's an expert (Healing Psoriasis: The Natural Alternative). He gifts me with plenty of new info upon which i may reflect, first suggesting i lower my fruit juice consumption to 1-2 glasses a day (a-hum, not 1-2 QTS!), then suggesting Oolong tea in a proposal that i probably have both the P and eczema! In addition, i am to drink saffron water through the day instead of as a tea 1-2 times a day (1 tsp American Yellow Saffron and 1 gal mt spring water; boil water and steep saffron 20 min, strain and place back in gal jug; drink 1-2 glasses a day). I'll prolly just use a glass jar and ionized water. Should be A-ok. He mentions a new book just released by himself entitled One Cause, Many Ailments which surely incorporates Cayce remedies, etc. The book mentions Leaky Gut Syndrome as a main factor for illness. As for diet, he tells me to go 80% alkaline and 20% acidic. Staying clear of a state of extreme alkalinity is even more important than being too acidic. The most beneficial, he says, is fish. Duh-du-DUHHHH! The darker and oilier, the better: blue fish, mackerel, tuna, yellow fish, herring, halibut, salmon. Damn, this is gonna be tricky. Sticking to the raw, i may go raw with sushi or sushimi as long as i get very fresh fish. Love my vegifarian ways, though open for new insight. A go, at least! In explaining P, he says skin is doing what bowels and kidneys should be doing. Nearing the end of our wonderful conversation, i bring candida into the picture. He releases a big A-ha, and we begin again. My scribbles: The Kybalion, transmutation, polarity, frame of mind, change spectrum. See self as having things i want, think only of what i do want, not reflecting on anything other than this. Keep mind fixed on goal and let creative forces do the rest. I do not have to figure it out. Set what i want; it's all there! These messages continue to appear to me. Time of action is now. For candida, his strongest suggestions are active cultures, Lactobacillus, olive oil and garlic. One doc Pagano knows puts a few clients on 20 tsp a day. "This is not necessary, though." Well, what a relief 'cause otherwise I'd be carrying around a bottle of olive oil with me everywhere, taking breaks from class to slip off and sip some oil. Yummy! Plain yogurt is another great option, however he says the live cultures are just as well. As for juicing, he says the strongest options are lettuce, parsley, garlic, onion, spinach, celery and possibly some carrot if it agrees. So, that's that. I'm ready. 

Juices:

1 QT OJ (oops, pre-made What? must be consumed).

24 OZ carrot, celery, garlic, cucumber, parsley

Supplements:

kelp, Radiance C, FlorAlive Revive All, Arise and Shine Bladder and Nerve tonic, ParaFreedom, Silver Hydro, HMD, Stone Breaker, Kidney Detox, Max Stress B, A&S herbs, CoQ10, enzymes, probio's, chlorella, B-12, MSM with lemon water, Oolong tea, saffron tea, flax & olive oils (1 TB each), Candex, GSE, lecithin, Wormwood/black walnut tincture (been on this for the past few days also).

Treatments and exercise:

• 15 minutes green ray (nothing pivotal, just a great sense of easy in nervous system and slight ease to right lumbar area- QL maybe)
  
• Moon Salutations yoga 1 1/2 hr class at OceanFront (i love)
• Chiropractic treatment (Dr. Nelson is amazing and truly guru in his field. Love his alternative methods that weave with regular spinal adjustments, sacral & coccyx, polarity stretches, abdomen energetic charge. he is not scared to freakin' Crack it, then go subtle... i love. BTW, Cayce suggests spinal adjustments in the treatment of psoriasis. Goes like this, as suggested by Pagano in his Healing P book: To be administered after 1st colonic & cont. 1 x week for 12 weeks. Treatments center around 6 and 7 dorsal, 3 cervical, 9th dorsal & 4th lumbar vert. May need more sessions for stubborn P. Carl Nelson in particular once worked with Meridian Institute, now dismantled sadly, to administer adjustments for P patients as they participated in a full Cayce protocol together for research.)
• Spontaneous Kegel pulsations (oh my! i read about bicycle riding being great for urinary incontinence, which I developed slightly with the P back in London 6 years back)
• skin brushing

Zen studies in Alan Watts' Spirit of ZEN assist my creativity greatly and expand me into a natural state of being. i will attempt to review the main points. Zen is a "process of unlearning" (a concept i reflected greatly in my explorations post-institutional University education), "abandonment of ideology" and "fixed forms of thought." He mentions the mind grasping its own life. "Zen is the essential experience underlying Buddhism... is closer to the unspeakable level of reality... non verbal, non symbolic, indefinable world of concrete as distant from abstract... Originally not one thing exists." I like this one, "A proper explanation of Zen should tease us out of thought, leave the mind like an open window instead of a panel of stained glass." The true Nature of reality! 

So post studying-meditation i fully free write, pen in meditation, within Zen flavor (my fave). Through writing in this manner, i allow my inner healer to emerge on paper (along with whatever else awaits in the folds of subconscious consciousness... to be heard--or not at all, who knows? no matter--by those with eyes, doors of perception). Suppose i'll share here:

This orange juice, pulpy and yummy as it is, causes scratches at occiput, bubbling stomach, solar plexus profusely begins to halt influx of toxins. O blood types fare not well to its fruit and secretions of luscious, tangy-sweet orange; its acidity putrefies insides and breaks down beneficial barriers of intestinal tract. Yoni yearns, Kegel clinches to soothe its searching. From Zen i am arisen, zen i shall live 'til zen at dust becomes me, to be true fruit of the Earth, cosmic Creator of our own consciousness, exalted by our own means, and thus tormented in the same-- if we choose (or not, choice is ours), or have chosen in past pulsations of pre-rhythmic body-being. Juice of the orange sits in meditation within jug upon woven Indonesian table-runner atop wooden antique dresser-drawers, reflecting light like that which rests inherent in each of us, awakening attuned invitation, a call to un-cocoon and bloom to a state of existence anew to every and all, fresh in each moment, every breath-- with purposeful, un-proposed attention, divinity arisen from the stars that speak through soul to the wholeness within that's nothing but nothing, like a flower that folds upon itself, sheds pedals like tears to regenerate as soil that nourishes mouths of all kingdoms-- like trees that sway to beats of breeze and breath of bats & bald eagles upon limbs, even biting bark as bugs, bounteous recyclers like tornadoes twisting reality that was, oh never to be again, but again in other form once again 'til never-more reborn. Torn like flesh in teeth: which way to go? Quit tugging. Jaw jerks, hurts, mandible masticating meat makes sickly and sick to think; secrete toxins too of mind, for what that's found beyond these bounds becomes One with non-conformed soul (we are) transformed to find mind a needle in birthday cake. Take another bite? Does Time bite back when hands tick backward? Lords of destiny, dare thy mock, for in stock an arsenal of affirmations; might Tick sway such revelations or transform in "twist of time?" Turn to face the folds of folly and fold all fears affront the shadow, showing face in mirror that awaits against reflection of orange pulp in plastic: Sip, or step through?---

Juice Fest Day 43!

Alrighty, this day has been pivotal! How do i begin? Must be brief, anatomy test tomorrow. Cayce Remedies class today feeds my intuition. Green Ray Therapy post-class soothes chronic pain in QL on right side; while sitting in front of it, back to the green light and feeling whirly, i wait for 10-ish minutes. There is a slight and subtle pop in this area, and no more pain. Wow. With instructor, a classmate and i discuss emotional relationship to the P. Issues of Loss of Power and "not being good enough" emerge. She relates to me: I must ask myself, why am i afraid to step into my own power? What is selfishness, really: something placed upon me from outside perceptions? What in my life is a parasite? Why am i scattered? i shall meditate upon these thoughts and ask what i can do to get info to heal this. i shall look into a striking suggestion of Past Life Regression. Ask where... She strongly suggests past lives. Yes, there may be a link to the Mother. However, this usually deals with the past lives, she tells me. So here i go to the previous lives. What happened to me as a Zen Master? she asks. I meditate and receive an image of a stab to the abdomen. Zen Warrior or Zen monk? Are these lives one in the same or separate? A feeling of nausea and deep emotions arise within while having this experience in meditation. i leave this, and come back to sitting by the ocean on a bench. it is done for now. Solar Plexus and abdomen, areas of power, self empowerment. Will watch for relevance in days to come and continue to meditate even though i shy away from it in hesitation. Fear? Today, she also mentions the fear factor in dealing with psoriasis. Yes, fear to step into my own power. Hmmmm. Connection? In reference to the candida, she says this is emotional and to look at anger mainly and feeling scattered. "Psoriasis is fear of being hurt; your skin protects you," she writes on my paper at the close of my list of items in our "Daily Diet" homework, for which we write our current eating regime. At the spot for "other comments," i mention the P and candida issues in my body. She responds in reference to our blood types; being type O, i need lots of protein. "When you eat raw and sprouts, you are getting protein - how is your energy," she writes. Yes, when eating raw i have energy, post detox. Still, thoughts of raw fish dance wearily in my head. Am i craving these items? i ask myself. After class, she muscle tests me for parasites and candida; i hold my right hand in a particular "mudra" and she pushes my left arm down to see if it falls. it is strong at first, prior to placing the mudra. A class mate also tests; she seems clearly sure she has issues with them and yet shows strength both times her arms are pushed downward, so her body is in balance with bacteria. As for me, even before her hand pushes mine down (not a hard push here, just light), even as she approaches, i feel weak and queezy; needless to say, i got some issues here, grrrl! More parasite and candida cleansing. Fruits are fine for me, she says. Just need to supplement GSE & CandiGone and meditate on issue at hand for alternative relevance. Then, voila! i shall be healed :).

Juice Feasting Day 42

Wow, what a day! M-M-M! I'll just call it emotional, with some tears and anger like from outrage of liver/gut. P is on the bazerk, ear lobes n' all! Pain in the cleansing of dusty baggage. And after a lighter-colored colonic my intestines are drained, as am i. An amazing 30 minute full Cayce massage soothes soul and body and mind and nerves... the whole gamut.

Juice Feasting, Day 40: wahoo! What up b-atches! :)

This is day 40, and what a phenomenal day! Whenever i tell people i am on day 40, we feel the significance. Jesus fasted for 40 days, and here i am going beyond the 40 (with juices instead of water no doubt). I feel a turn-around in my psyche and emotive state of being. This morn during Cranial class, I partner for our in-class practicum with a Reiki Master woman, and she truly elevates me to my subconscious inner/outer dimensions. What a trip. And she tells me that in my past life, 17th century, i am a Zen master with feet lifted from the ground while walking; supposedly i still carry these traits from Zen living in this life. i live in Zen time, she relates to me. i need to employ the discipline and create a spiritual life; this will bring me balance in this life. the monastic discipline is grand, and the fact that i carry cellular memory of it is amazing. So it shall be easy enough for me to incorporate discipline, maybe rising to do a morning spiritual discipline of asana and meditation at sunrise. "Rise and fall with the sun," she tells me. Just like i did after graduating university in yosemite valley hugged between 3500 ft granite cliffs, under stars and lady moon, bare with just sleeping bag and yoga mat on a large flat boulder. ah, memories. such an education way beyond institutionalized learning! moon cycles in line with actual moon cycles :). i get a rush when she tells me of this past life, as i studied Zen buddhism at university and read many books on buddhist principle aside from school. the monastic life has called, and i, naturally reluctant yet no longer. now i am inspired. so Zen it is. i like it. hara and hado are two words she mentions that resonate deeply with me. so following class i head to the library and check out 4 books. i am ready. ready. ready. here i am. 

Juices:

Juice Feasting Day 39.

Yay. EmRose is back at the VABeach, and we are both pooped! Chill day for me, waking to send Mike on his merry way to his new home in Maryland, prepping juice and jetting to yoga for a 10am "Yoga Essentials" class. The exact purpose and position in each pose is the focus here, and we work slowly through the asanas, stretching those hips even more than last class, with finesse. Emotion surely sweeps from my stretching limbs, and some tears even fall subtly as we wind down and move into savasana. Beautiful. Following class, I clean house a bit and relax on the computer, sipping juice and researching info for screening shirts organically. There is a company in NC that screens at a reasonable price on their own shirts made in NC, using water-based inks and organics. Amazing. Now i just need to finalize the design. The company is called TS designs. Now Em is here and we are enjoying our juicing journeys together, synchronistically yet uniquely our own! LOVE!

1 1/5 QT cucumber, celery, kale, lettuce, lemon.

Juice Feasting Day 38!

Today i feel energized and complete, coherent and stable. The adjustments from yesterday cause much cracking today, and I'm able to sit more erect. Yoga is the guru, and juices with breath electrify positively. This morn, late again to class, bummed for letting others down by existing in the abstraction of time... its true reality in greatest essence. Oh well. It is what it is, then also what i make of it... what i make it?! Mike says my birth name is powerful, stoic... Blair Pendleton!  With exclamation. Ah, i dig Gaya... and the former. Anyhoo it's citrus all the way today, just grapefruit and orange. Cleansing, for sure. So class today, Cranial Sacral, really gets me off. I love what some may call energy work, though really we are effecting the entire body through the cranial sacral fluid which effects the fascia and nerves... our networking. Its subtlety awakens the subconscious to represent, and in deep listening the body is truly heard and thus allows room for change and growth. "Ah, someone is finally listening." And then there is me on the other end, "Ah, yes, I feel, I understand..." though no need understand (the understanding being perceptual anyway). "I see, and here is your space, love. Here's your space to reintegrate to your truest potential." No intention, just listening. Following this amazing listening and receiving/opening during our Cranial Sacral V-Spread and still point, I engage spontaneously switching clinic upon the whim of Christen; its energy truly sweeps me into the inherent connections of all, and tapping into universal energy becomes more real than ever. Heart beating, limbs twitching, interacting, energies exchanging fluidly. We are awakened.

Juice Feasting Day 37!

I feel the length and shortness of this day, as i play through the night of last on an in-class project of a Vision board. After anatomy class i read on the internet about fruitarianism and Cayce diet to cure psoriasis; wow, there are so many options! i drank some OJ, travel to the chiropractor, then bathe and sleepily crawl into bed for a napperooni, sleeping 'til midnite. Following the chiro treatments, I feel stabilized in spine yet awkward in the new adjustments and now that i've slept with it some i wake feelinga tightness in my left shoulder area under the scapula. i've never had a treatment that cracks me so! i like it, as i already love to crack myself. Guess I'll call it a day, as i am still very sleepy. Hope to wake super early tomorrow and possibly catch some pages of Dr Pagano's book on Psoriasis especially now that I am following all the principles to the Cayce protocol for psoriasis (colonic, diet, massage, chiropractic, teas...). The orange juice went down smoother than i imagined it would; i pounded all 2 QTS in one go. That is all the juice I've had  thus far through the day's day.  All-in-all, i've experienced a decently lively day considering my no sleep last night.

Juice Feasting Day 35, WHAT?!

Yes, has been 35 days on sheer liquidation of the purest type! :). This morn tears fall with shutters and spins of doubt in ability to continue due to feeling lack of nutrients. I am thin. On the verge. Of loosing it. In many different ways. This is my edge; yeah, i'm ridin' it hard! 10 hours of sleep last evening assists this process, however my recent disinterest in the green juices disturbs.

The afternoon fares well, as energy rises after some juice and i regain needed vitality to persevere! With three juices, one being a yummy salsa juice (THANKS EM!) and needed sleep, i am renewed. now, at 10:30 pm i know it is time for me to settle into bed. Blessings and love!

Juice Feasting Day 34!

Photos taken Friday night prior to the Ani Difranco show in Richmond, Virginia, on her "Love is Everywhere" tour. A day of sheer exhaustion and head rushes mixed with dizziness accelerated while walking through Maymont in Richmond Saturday with Emily Rose and Hollins chum, Shamoniki, taking its toll while synchronistically lifting sun-conscious, Earthly soul. We strolled through gardens, filling us with fragrant flower essences, across round, flat stones in the moss-covered pond, around an en-porched Castle-esque mansion, by a waterfall and through a bamboo forrest. All the while, i breathed breaths of perseverance and fortitude as we trudged without haste up some hillsides i wanted to surge (or purge, rather in reality ;). Saturday, i now listen to the strange pseudo-linguistics of Sigur Ros and hang on the threads of his emotive, melodic melding of transference as scents of New Mexican cedar and Juniper float upon the hardwood floors and into awaiting nostrils. And a votive candle burns its luminance through Himalayan crystal, pink like pretty intestines. We are illuminated...

1 QT cucumber, celery, red chard, bok choy, lime.

Juice Feasting Day 33!

Tres y Tres. What a great combo of numbers! I am catching up with sleep after those 12 hours last night! I love it. Tonight I head to Richmond to see Ani Difranco and Kimya Dawson (watch Juno, music). Oh yes I am excited; love the live music! Upon waking, I feel alert yet in that extended sleep state... taking me a while to come into full expression of myself, so distorted by previous lack of sleep and deep cleansing. During Cranial class, which I absolutely adore, I feel peculiar. Not knowing how to react with my energetic switch, I breathe into my belly only to discover a shortness in my inhalation. My belly does not expand really.  After drinking water, it moves a bit. And after the in-class cranial session from goddess Christina, my belly moves more fluidly as I palpate her rhythms. The instructor tells me that my cranial rhythm does not move into full flexion or extension, that it is faint. Yes, so is my breath. Connection? My rhythm seems to arc and twitch. Yes, I will bring attention to my energetic rhythms; it is so simple for me to feel the cranial rhythm. And simply listening gives the areas of fluctuation room to self-correct as my own inner-physician begins to sense it is acknowledged and respond beautifully. Post-class I enter the spa beneath the class room and receive a Cayce-Reilly massage from a wonderful therapist, followed by a colonic that gives me much needed release in my central belly 3rd chakra area of much previous discomfort! Much dark matter, loose and compacted releases and she fills me with Glyco-Thymoline which Cayce says helps to restore the intestinal lining. As the P is linked to leaky gut, we feel this to be important. Oh wow. So much to say. Must head to the show! Love n bless...

Juices: 

2 QT crunchy sprouts, cucumber, celery, beet, cabbage, kale, lemon.

Juice Feasting, Day 32!!!

Yes, well lemme just say that exhaustion struck at about 6:30 pm, turning my intended nap into an all-night-a-thon of glorious snoozation. The day is now a blur of classes and semi-remembered information. Wow, I will surely need to review my notes for those classes! Sleep, greatly needed and appreciated, now feels spectacular. It's amazing how I can go without sleep and interact in the world with some clarity and diligence by having nights on end of less than 5 hours of sleep while juicing, yet sleep truly is a healer. And I know how much more fun this Juice Feast is with adequate sleep, 12 hours being the answer for the night! So, for those juices!  

Juices:

2 QT sugar snaps, clover and "crunchy" sprouts, celery, cucumber, spinach.  

2 oz wheatgrass juice

Supplements: 

MSM with water and peppermint, lemon oil, kelp, Stone Breaker, N-Zimes, Premier Research Max Stress B Nano-Plex; Arise and Shine herbs, green pow. 

Juice Feasting Day 31...

Okay, now i feel on target! Despite my sleepy-face and late-night lay-down frustration (not the best). 

No giving into the honey temptation today! The wheatgrass shot early-on truly lifted me up and out. I did not actually make a full juice until the afternoon, drinking it post-yoga. Huge combustion of green exploded all over couch and books this morning, sending me to school late. Funny now; not then. 

So many new thoughts entering my stream of consciousness; I will share when more alert. This morning's first Cranial Sacral class reassures me that i am on my Path... as if i really need that. Loving the energy medicine! I feel very comfortable exploring this field of practice and stretching its dimensions in all of its multi-dimensionality! A large, solar-plexus pin-point of uncomfortable cramping in my abdomen releases after a quick session of chakra balancing by a classmate. During the session i fall deeply into trance, in and out while on the table, waking renewed and breathing more fully. 

My body builds muscle quickly in its agile state as i practice yoga nearly every day, taking advantage of a beautiful studio with view of ocean (plus great teachers) and this month's unlimited yoga pass (best 80 bucks ever). 

In this moment, i feel tired. Time is 3:30am and i must awaken no later than 8am for Anatomy, followed by Business. So sleep still sits upon agenda. Yoga and less-sweets checked-off, now is time to move into Nature-time. Oh the linear expression of existence for which i must abide! Hohum, hohum! :). Really i aim and yearn to be in bed soon after sun-down and rise around sun-up. This is the natural rhythm, and i shall not send myself to sleep on a flat rock for the summer again to learn this lesson! Just so happens that this screen has an affinity for swallowing humans (me) into its splendid Light like my savior (anything but = more like it). i Must be tasty! 

Let the past be the past; move onward and upward! i am doing very well, the best day yet! And this is just the beginning...

Juices:

1 1/5 QT cucumber, celery, bean sprouts, kale, cilantro

2 oz wheatgrass

Juice Feasting Day 30: GHRRRH!

Yeah, I am now 1/3 of my way through this FEAST! It's incredible. The P, relentless, lingers upon skin like a house fly, buzzzin' me silly. Color changes from red to pink, legions bleeding less and doing so only when i shave over them with my razor. Not as thin as i thought! Guess it's candida related, so time to make the change! We'll track the process more intently from here on out. So for my final day of sweets i consumed a large QT or more of complete fruit yumminess filled with fuel of fruits. I will initially miss those power carbs and quickly find alternative methods of supplementation to energize my body for yoga, school and walks on the beach. Oh, in mentioning yoga, today's class of saluting Ms. moon was a creeper; i initially thought: ok, this lady is slow and this is boring (crazy thought, yeah. why i doubt my studio?!:). Then we slipped deeper and deeper into stretches, holding asanas for extended periods of time, really diggin' in! Loved it! So, besides the large pinkish-red juice (more like a thin goo) I also consumed 2 oz wheatgrass juice, which supposedly contains the same amount of nutrients as 5 lbs of greens... at least that's what i was told. 

Juice:

1 1/2 QT fruit juice: acai, pineapple, mango, raspberry, strawberry. 

2 oz wheatgrass juice!

Supplements: 

MSM water with lemon, hemp oil, chlorophyll, homeo detox, Celtic sea salt, kelp, honey, bee pollen, castor oil pack, skin brushing, shower w/ hot/cold treatment (yes, i do shower more than i mention in blogs... just don't usually mention it) :)

LOVE! 

Juice Feasting Day 29!!!!!

Yeah, making it to that 1/3 mark in the feast! Parents come and gone, it's back to the grind!... Well, sort of. I started the day late this morn with a 7:something wake-up for my 8am class, with a teach who's anal about timeliness. Go figure. 8am arrived quickly, and thanks to my handy-dandy new kitchen clock (thanks mom & dad), i gave myself just enough time on it to brew the green stew and bust down the steps and out the door. Wait, Oops, the washing machine dulled out its buzzzz! (Double oops, gotta change over the laundry now to the dryer. Be back). Ok, now we're rollin' again. So I squeezed, rinsed a bit and busted to the car, making it to class with most everyone else, just a couple minutes post door closing. All is well. Our final massage class went smoothly, beginning with a test that (oops) I totally forgot about until juicing this morn... urgh! Good thing the material was super easy and I scored in the upper 90's on our first test. So, bueno, bueno. Except she already told me I scored low on "participation"  for the whole class solely because of my incessant tardies (19 total, wahoo! joke) so my final grade ended up being lower that i wanted, still a B+. What can i say? I'm a serious student and I aim high, baby, always. So, I'll throw it off my shoulder and learn from it! Our second class of the day, we explored Cayce remedies, discussing those for the eyes, teeth, skin, feet, nails and hair. Wow, how fascinating! At school day's end, I grabbed that final green juice and headed for fresh air and sand for a pre-yoga stroll in bikini for that vitamin D connection. Next i ventured to Yoga Stretch, which sounded easy and it wasn't bad though it surely challenged me while stretching the bageebies out of my full body, posterior and anterior. What a day!

All in all I feel blessed today with adequate sleep and greens... oh yeah, and some fruit n' honey thrown in too, just for the fun of it. Honey energized me through the day, followed immediately by ardent mouth washing each time! Tomorrow is Day 30, the true last day of sweets for Ms. Gaya Blair!!! Cheers! And the juices for today?

Juice Feasting Day 28.

Wow, what a great day with the parents! We visited our VABeach aquarium AND Chrysler museum with Rembrandt etching plus some Ansel Adams to top it off. I absolutely positively enjoyed our afternoon together, despite dad's usual Sunday storminess which actually fit the weather today. Rain still falls; welcome hurricane season on the east coast! As for energy, I maintained through the day fairly well considering extreme lack of sleeps (4 hrs, oops-hee). I did indulge in some supplementary honey and 1QT grapefruit juice since the clock ticked on and another QT needed to happen, so i went to the grocery for fresh-ish non-pasteurized juice. Goods.  

Juice: 

21/4 QT cucumber, celery, lemon, romaine, cilantro, kale

1 QT grapefruit juice

Supplements:

MSM w lemon water, hemp oil, Detox homeopathics, Stress Max B, B-12, Arise and Shine herbs, sea and himalayan salts, honey, saffron tea, epson bath, body brushing, castor oil pack, body oils, love!

Juice Feasting Day 27!

How lovely gathering with the parents; they truly are lovely and inspiring people. The rain falls heavy this evening, and a splattering of firecrackers snap sporadically through the dim street- lit eve. I sit in front of a screen, bobbing and  jigging to a new CD of Hip Hop called The Push, by Raashan Ahmad who spits about birth, love, mother, son, peace and god within mixed beats that twist between synth drum rhythms and the thump thump th-thump of bass. Juice goes down with a bit of hesitance today, and as much as I tell myself fruit juice is not right for this body i reach for the other 1/2 QT grapefruit juice in the fridge. Slamming instead of sipping seems most optimal really, and as i follow with a mouth wash I actually feel fine about it. Energy follows, and the previous slight dizziness subsides. Dinner with the parents sends me some slight cravings, strangely for the fried fish food of some sort. Funny, yeah, yuck. Ah well. Energy comes with fruits, though excess acidifies mouth and upsets intestinal order. Acknowledging a blood-checked state of internal candida, it probably does me well to get off sweets altogether. Hope the skinny me comes 'round to a built bod of muscle. Just two days off yoga shows, though. It's beautiful how my body truly tells me what it needs. Go internal ears, and the urgin surges of discipline and passion for health!  So for those juices...

Juices:

1 QT cucumber, sugar snaps, romaine, spinach, lemon

1 QT cucumber, spinach, celery, lemon, romaine

1 QT jerusalem artichoke, tarragon, cilantro, onion, garlic, cucumber, romaine, spinach, tomato, lemon, celery

1/2 QT grapefruit juice
