Much has happened since my last post! The juice cleanse went well and I ended up going 30 days raw! So detoxifying. I never really understood the term "raw emotions" until I went through my juice fast. Not only did I cleanse physically, but also emotionally and spiritually! By the third day of my juice cleanse, I was in a state of gratitude and beautiful connection with the universe. All these memories were popping into my mind from past experiences that had hurt me or left me feeling uneasy. Instead of dismissing these thoughts like usual and pushing them back down to be buried in my psyche, I confronted them with love and acceptance. It helped cleanse out negativity that was creating blockages on my road to growth. After my juice fast, I permanently healed some of these areas by taking action by rekindling friendships with people that I thought were long gone. It was such an amazing experience to heal this way- I had no idea how much sadness it was causing me to keep all these thoughts and memories buried inside me.
The colonic went well. I ended up getting two because the second one reaches the smaller intestine. I recommended this to anyone who has fatigue, constipation, gas, or swelling of the lower stomach- actually I recommend everyone to try it. I lost three pounds after mine! I once read: You change the oil in your car every three months... why not clean out your body too? Our bodies are our vehicles to living life and we need to keep it clean!!
Since the juice fast, I have been preparing juice fasts and raw meals for clients and spreading raw knowledge and green living to all who enter my life. I convinced my boyfriend to do a one day juice fast without allowing him to drink caffeine. This helped my boyfriend realize his serious addiction to coffee. He has not gone a day without coffee for two years and he drinks the strong stuff, french pressed! Although painfully on the coach with a head ache and body aches for the entire day, it paid off because now he switched to tea in the mornings (something I never thought would happen.) However, I do not recommend this method for everyone, and I probably won't be so strict about the no caffeine policy when detoxing future clients who are seriously addicted to coffee. They should be allowed to have mild tea in moderation as my boyfriend's withdrawal effects resulted in serious sickness.
And now for the BIG news..... I have been accepted to work at the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center in Patagonia, Arizona in their Raw Food Cafe for 3 months starting in June!!!!!!! This is going to be a life changing experience for me as I have heard this is a place with such a high vibrational and healing energy. I will be working 40 hours a week in the raw cafe and I am allowed to spend my free time going to free yoga classes and mediation work shops. The Rejuvenation Center in surrounded by mountains and it will be monsoon season so I can enjoy watching the stormy rain clouds roll in over the mountains. I learned from my juice fast that it was difficult cleansing and still being apart of this society. As I drove around for my job, I breathed in pollution toxins from the exhaust from my car and factory fumes from helping my clients at their job sites. Plus, I dealt with unhappy, low vibrating people and I needed to do my best to be the light to everyone I came in contact with so I could maintain my sense of well being. That's why I believe the Tree of Life will be much much more than a raw foods learning experience; I will be in a community where everyone is expressing their spirituality and gratitude for life and the environment. The air will be clean and the energy will by high. I will finally be able to find a place to heal through and through!
And you know what I have realized? I have not been sick since last February! This was before I started eating raw foods. My boyfriend is ill right now and this will be the test to see how well my Raw Nutrient/Antioxidant packed diet is helping me! And this is from drinking plenty of juice, eating 60-100% raw and vegan (vegetarian at times.) You can do it too! All you have to do is eat a big bowl of fruit in the morning or a big glass of fresh pressed juice and salad for lunch. That's 75% percent raw in one day and then you can eat cooked food for dinner. Easy as that!
