I am
still fasting….today is day 23 of my plan for doing 30 days this time around.
It feels so good to be back to fasting – I’ve done so many shorter fasts of 2
or 4 days over this past year or so, however, my body feels like it is working
at creating greater change whenever I undertake these longer fasts.
Besides
all of the mental, spiritual and emotional benefits, there is no end to the
physical benefits a body experiences as you fast your way to better well-being.
The sheer physical changes that a person goes through each day as we detox are
astounding.
Not
only is my body detoxing, it is also rapidly changing out old cells, building
up bacterial colonies, letting go of debris and revamping vitamin, mineral and
nutrient stores. I can feel my stomach and intestines regenerating.
Because
this is a juice fast, I am taking in ‘food’, but it is liquid and full of
flavour. I think a true juice fast is a bit like an IV infusion….your stomach
and intestines are completely empty and cleaned out. You take in liquid juice
which absorbs directly into your system through that empty, unclogged stomach….
All
of those vitamins and nutrients are being directed into the healing, detoxing
and cleansing work that needs to be done each day of the fast. What an awesome
thing to experience! I am making my own concoction of a combined fresh juice with fermented juices....truly life changing.
Yesterday
I realized I was craving meat. Of course I thought this was very strange as I
have done many fasts and never, ever craved meat before. I always crave apples,
grapes, onions, garlic or some other fruit and vegetables, besides, I eat very little meat and never crave it. Then I realized I
was getting all of those things into me with the juice, so my mind was craving
other types of foods and perhaps protein will be first on my agenda when I am done with my fast….
I am
also far more aware of my skin this time around, which is exactly what I
wanted….our skin contains the roots of our Energy Field, an often overlooked
but extremely vital and important part of our overall health. When we nourish
all of these elements of our beings we can truly enter a state of optimum
health.
Looking
forward to enjoying these last few days on my fast to see what this next detox cycle brings and
then on to much more,
April
