Today I'm feeling brilliant. I think I've juiced everything in the place, am off to the markets soon to replenish my fridge, poor thing looks so empty today.

I'm getting used to juicing heaps, I now have a few s/s flasks that I carry with me when I'm out for the full day. 

Yesterday was my first day of my counselling course, counselling with awareness.  We do the regular stuff, but add in love, meditation and dance.  It's so much fun to turn up and instead of going straight for the theory, we dance around to clear and ground ourselves.   

Then after an amazing day being in that energy, I went to the raw cafe and did my first public drumming performance.  We are creating a community garden, and last night was the opening!  Not many people turned up, but whoever did had a blast.  I caught up with a lot of friends, had heaps of fun, and got told I look fabulous....a good night all round     And these people understand about juice feasting, even better.  I'd get my drum out now, but it's 5.30am and time to go to the market before all the other raw foodies get there and buy all the food.

What do the rest of us do to receive a copy?

There's a guy doing free earcandling too at Robina on Sat if anyone wants to try it out.  He's at Flannerys at Benowa tomorrow (Friday). 

That reminds me, I think I'm performing Sat night.  And out all day at class.  In a perfect world I'd prefer to juice when my life is not so busy, but don't think that's going to happen any time soon  lol

And you've got to juice a lot of stuff to get the amount they recommend.  At least you'll have a lot of compost ;0
I'll be thinking of you on Sunday

Well done Rudy for doing your research, I'm impressed.  How long did it take you to complete the testing? 

Awesome new pic by the way.  And while I'm here, I love reading your posts, you put so much thought into them. 

A green juicer for the green stuff ~ why does that conjure up an image of you dressed in green like a leprechaun leaping excitedly around your kitchen?  Oops, think these juices are responsible for my imagination running free, better go catch it before it gets me into trouble hehe.

........actually when I said today.........I meant today.........now....... Tuesday.

Day 1 and feeling fantastic. 

Yeah Jen I'm seeing John.  Didn't actually juice yesterday, went to the juicer and thought naw, not yet.  So today is my first juice feasting day, and am drinking watermelon cucumber juice as I type.  Not too bad, but juiced the rind for the first time, made it a little bitter (added a squeeze of lemon, much better).  Pineapple and celery juice for brekky was divine, I'm having more of that tomorrow. Yummmm.  Am powering through the day, so much clarity and energy, I won't stop until 10pm tonight, then it's off home to bed.

Went to the gym for the first time in about 15 years, and had a personal trainer push encourage me, it makes a big difference to have that support through a workout.  And when I went to see Steve yesterday he had me do an SRI treatment with Julie.  Breathwork is so amazingly simple, and yet so effective, my posture and attitude changed dramatically during that visit.  When I left I felt so free I actually wanted to run.   I'm getting used to having a body that feels like a well oiled machine, no aches & pains or tension anywhere.  So this is what freedom feels like. Whoopee.

My trainer gave me a lecture about having lots of protein in the diet ~ I just nodded and smiled sweetly (well, he was cute) and will tell him in a few weeks about the juicing.  I already told him about the raw food.  I figure if he can see the results I'll be betting he will take more notice of the information. 

Nic, I want to shimmy like that too.  Do you recon if we practice every day we can be like that too? lol

Haven't had my teeth done yet, have to wait 2 months to get in, but have made all my appointments for late April at Mermaid Beach.  And I know this guy's good.

Still belly dancing, it feels good to me, but I'm glad there are no mirrors there, don't want to watch myself cause I'm probably pretty comical too.   For me it's more about the femiminity and opening myself up to that more.  And the female solidarity, lol.

Shimmy on sister ~ I mean sisters 

Hi Nic,

thanks for your encouragement.  Still on my water fast so far, can't think about food yet as more emotional stuff came up yesterday evening.  Sheesh, I bought all this wonderful organic food from the markets yesterday and no desire to eat it.   
 
Maybe I'm creating this emotional/physical stuff so I don't start my juice feast, and therefore have the fantastic results...............mmmm probably scared of the changes that will come.   

Okay, okay, lets change the song then:"I am strong, I have a Champion, I am juicing" 

*Runs away to create a watermelon cucumber juice*

Thanks Jen,
I spoke to my daughter this afternoon, she was upset but okay, and no way did she blame me. 

I didn't do any juice feasting today, after realising it is suggested we drink 1 litre of juice each time.  I didn't feel hungry, and fasted on water all day instead.  This serves me better when there is emotional turmoil going on.  Maybe tomorrow. 

And I'm sure I'll have fantastic results too, thanks.

Becky, if you have access to Australian Bush Flower Essences the following are helpful:

Slender Rice Flower - this helps to release the embedded emotion in the scar tissue, as well as healing the physical wound.  You can use it internally or on the scar itselt, or both.  It also helps with the energy flow along the meridian that was cut. 

Macrocarpa is useful for the after effects of the anesthetic, as well as time of great stress, combined with Fringed Violet to help protect the aura, Angelsword to help release any energy that may have entered while the aura was open (this happens with shock, trauma or general anesthetic) and Sundew is good for returning to the present after a traumatic incident (as the person can disassociate themselves from this), and recovering from anesthetic.

Of course, Emergency Essence is good at any time.

Blessings to you and your boy

Thanks for posting this info, I'm starting my juice feast today.  I signed up for 30 days on the website, and then thought why wait/weight? 

Good luck for those of you starting Saturday, awesome dudes   

After only a few hours sleep I'm up and about again, and getting ready to go to the market.  My tummy still feels sore, but will go and come back again so quickly it'll be okay. 

I'm not sure how long I will juice for ~ my body is pretty good at giving me messages so I'm sure it will tell me LOL.  My last NES scan told me I need B3 this month, so lots of green juices should take care of that.  My juicing will be intuitive, not so planned as it has been in the past.  I'm excited about this, I love juicing and my body relaxes on it and thrives, juicing takes all the stress out of meal planning.  I'm interested to see how my back treatments will go this week, and how much more I can release. 

I was going to Burleigh tonight for the drumming, but may go early instead as there is a meeting about the future of the drumming and fire circle, then it'll be off to bed for this little black duck, quack quack.   

It was very hot here today, and I guess it was too much for them, they just went to sleep and never woke up.  Lots of water for them, huge cage, lots of fresh air and a good breeze, in the shade, plenty of food - they had everything and yet I still feel it was somehow my fault.  Probably the single mother thing, trying to keep everything together.

I still want  a man who will put his arms around me and hold me tight, and tell me everything is going to be alright.  I want that strength and comfort right now, and realilse that it must come from me first, that if I crave something I need to find it in myself, and only then can accept if from someone else.  So I'm feeling a little better now, crying has abated for the moment and I have found that strength and comfort within me. 

The universe has set it up so perfectly for me to learn this lesson.  I really feel like this was meant to be, the energy in the house has changed so much this week, and their little souls felt the need to go.  My ex is an animal communicator. and would often tell me the spiritual meaning for an animal's passing.  So I understand this one, and thank my little friends for their assistance in my journey, and my children's journey too. 

I was chatting to a friend in the UK, and remembered that this is the Chinese year of the earth rat, and got upset when I realised that my rats would soon go back to the earth.  We chatted for a while and he asked me if my rats were indeed Chinese, and if they wore little pointy hats lol.  So I'll think of them with little hats on, such a cute thought.   

I'm releasing physically and emotionally atm, and am thinking of starting my juice feast tomorrow instead of March 1st.  So I'm off to the organic markets early in the morning.  I'm feeling spirit around me now, am not tired but will go and meditate/relax/sleep and receive what is coming through.  My body is ready to go to the next level of health and spirituality, and I must be able to give it the nutrition it needs.

And thank you Jen for your hugs, much appreciated.  Thinking of you too, and thanks for tempting me with your food pictures when I have decided to juice fast - hope it tasted as good as it looked.  Now I know the benchmark for your potlucks  .  Will have to pull my socks up in that area before the next one.  Am I on your VIP list now? 

I feel much calmer (karma) now, found some almond milk in the freezer, so had a warm cacao drink with extra agave, so grounding.  My version of hot sweet tea, yum.

Hey Steve
there is a cafe behind Threeworlds at Mermaid Beach called the Pizza Patch - They do vegan pizzas but are concentrating more on raw food, it's awesome.  It's where I eat when I do my drumming and fire twirling.
If you're here again before March 6 maybe we could catch up, I'll send you a pm.
