Today As we enter a New Moon in Pisces I have decided to use the energy of change and anew to embark on a week long Juice Feast.. As most of you know I have been slowly but steady moving in the direction of changing lifestyle habits and thoughts that have not only kept me sick but stuck in the same patterns over and over again. This has been a long journey with many glimpses into what is possible and I have slipped back enough times to now know what it is I do want versus what I have been use to. About six years ago I decided to test my inner discipline as well as work on building my immune system by removing all allergens from my diet and working towards a more plant type based diet. During those early months I could see a drastic change in my over all being so much that I started to do things I had never done before. One of those was to join a CoEd soft ball league. After only one practice I ripped my calf muscle and was not only benched for the season but my eating habits got set on a shelf as well. You see I was the only one in my household at the time that was not only preparing the meals but eating a more stricter diet and when it was left to my now ex husband it was back to fast food and easy fixes. I must say I can never blame him for the road I took after I was off of bed rest but the old habits had slipped back in and they have made themselves at home ever since. It truly is hard to make food changes in a world that sees food in many ways. Some see it as luxury, comfort, self punishment, nutrition, ect. I over the years have come to understand my body is made up of many facets. One being that my body is more then a meat suit in which my brain is housed but yet a beautiful temple in which my soul is able through my mind to express itself. I also have looked at my physical attribute and found that my body is like a moving computer with complex circuitry that if it is not maintained can get viruses and if I do not every once in a while clean out my files it will start working slower and some programs will stop working all together. I have seen this many times in my own life as well as the lives of others around me. Those who feel that there is No connection when it comes to health and well being and food are truly fools. It is only western medicine that addresses the symptoms with medication and never bothers to expanded its treatment to include food or even mindset. I have seen many miracles in my own life regarding what a powerful connection between Mind, Body and Spirit there truly is. That is why today I am stepping into the next spiral of expansion and experimentation. You see I look a Planet Earth as a living library and my experiences are really experiments in spiritual and mental growth. So today I embark on the exciting experiment of a detoxing juice feast or as I would say cleanse the body. To also clean out those viruses and files that are overloading my system along with challenging my mind in the area of discipline. I will drink nothing but juices over the next week and experiment with various recipes but sticking to certain vegetables and fruits that I know work best when detoxing the body. I will later today be posting some of the basic recipes in case you too want to experiment along with me and use this New Moon energy to reboot your system and challenge your mind in a new direction.. What can it hurt.. its almost spring and a little spring cleaning is in order and instead of starting with those closet how about starting with the most important asset of your life, YOU!!!!!
