Can you tell I'm loving the new juicer?
Just finished a good 90 min yoga session, after another morning of Sadhanas, whipped up a beautiful post yoga juice - the last of my canteloupe, half the coconut meat from a young coconut I used yesterday and one organic banana peel. Put a pinch of cinnamon in along with it all into the juicer to mix in with the flavors and strained it all again into a nice thin juice when it came out. Just beautiful. Poured a half jug of water through the machine afterwards to give it a clean and am now drinking that flavored water - its really lovely, the water seems to bring out flavors the juice doesn't and vice versa, they are both just great.
So one week today of phase 2, which means I've been on this journey 28 days now.
Certainly seeing a new me in more ways than one at this stage, I look really young again, feel good, gently energized, pain free, most importantly my spirits have been soaring higher and higher as this fast and all the spiritual practices take hold.
Feeling purified, not just physically but in my being. Remembering who I really am, shedding the toxic emotions that weigh down the soul, preventing us from our real ability to create our own fulfillment.
Its been progressive for me, I feel a lot of culmination now from many retreats with great wisdom masters, the practices I've been doing and growing in, and my own growth, as my years climb and so my experience, disillusionment with those people and aspects of the world that don't share my view or sense of potentiality and coming to terms with that disillusionment finally by letting go, through acceptance and in finding more inner peace than I ever have before just living in my own truth.
I've grown to need less and care less about the opinions of others. I've become less and less interested in argument, bickering and able to just start to shrug my shoulders when people act crazy and disappoint.
I know I've got growth ahead of me yet, there is more to developing compassion than just becoming less clingy, more detached - its a step though, and one I'm quietly happy to see developing in me. This fast and all the practice has helped me tremendously to cut through some of those old ropes hooking me into emotional tangles and to become more self reliant.
It's a wonderful practice, I wish everyone could experience going inward like this to connect with the simple beauty of who they are and peel away all the layers of conditioning and socialization that obscure that.
I've been reading some great books, doing a bit of study, dharma books, Rumi, Wilhelm Riech and studying the Chinese 5 Element System.
I've felt my zest for and interest in life rekindle during this fast which speaks volumes because I've been very gutted over the past five years losing the love of my life - I have been quite lost and feeling my sense of purpose coming back to me is nectar after such a long cold journey in the dark. I'm feeling renewed, a sense of true spring, the world calls to me again and I wish to give myself to it.
Fasting is a feast for the soul!
