My bathroom sink was filling up and not draining properly. Guess what? It was filled with "old waste" ands needed to be cleansed! One morning, I had alot of energy and plumbed my sink myself, clearing out the cabinet below, unhooking the drain, cleansing the sink of its "gunk," and rehooking the drain. It felt so fabulous to know I had the capacity to do this on my own, without a plumber or brawny man :) I also appreciated the black waste as I cleaned it with bare hands from my sink; it was all the stuff that had served me well and now needed to be let go, revealing a sparkling clean drain. The metaphor was not lost on me! I am responsible for my own cleansing; I am capable of my own cleansing; I know what has to be released and what gets revealed under the layers of mud. My purpose is to stay in my own process and not another's business, so to speak. It is my responsibility to cleanse my "stuff" and get to my higher self. It is from there I can relate to others.
On the topic of elimination, my last salt water flush took two hours before I released. It required patience, as I knew I couldn't start juicing until the flush worked, so that meant waiting till noon to drink. I felt pretty cleaned out, and then the last two days, I started releasing on my own without any flushes. It feels like the last of the old garbage making its way out.
On the subject of going back to juicing, my experience of drinking my canteloupe-cilantro juice deserves a description. I am not exaggerating when I say that this juice was the sweetest taste I ever experienced. It was passionate and sublime, and I literally felt all of amy chakra energy centers open, including my sexual chakra. It reminds me of when I lecture on food, and share how a child who grows up on fast food often cannot taste the sweetness of a string bean or a piece of broccoli. Maybe it's because I was drinking Master Cleanser for 10 days; I'm not sure. All I know is that I never tasted something so delicious in my life, and I've eaten all kinds of foods of every nationality. I will hold onto that flavor and somatic (body) response for a long time, going back to it when I need inspiration, a tangible reminder of the sweetness of life or when I want to eat more quickly than my body should be.
Just a mention of my last few days of Master Cleanser. Days 7 and 8, my body only desired 3 quarts, rather than the gallon I had been consuming every day. Then Day 9, my body felt weak and I "downed" 2 quarts just in the morning. What I see from this is another reminder to observe the changes during the cleanse and honor your body with what it needs in that moment. It may shift from day-to-day.
I would also recommend waiting till completion of the cleanse to have any new "processes" done connected to your physical being. In other words, I had originally planned to have my hair done a couple of weeks ago, and my body clearly told me that it was in the process of cleansing and to wait until I was done with my cleanse to go to my stylist. We want to let go of the old before we bring in the new. Also, I waited on a dental consult as well. If you do go, I recommend waiting on any x-rays or procedures until your cleanse is finished.
I am sitting in wonder of the last month. Could it be that in only 3 days I will be eating solid food? If I didn't have some new things in my life happening, I would stay on this cleanse for longer. It does feel a bit weird to think of chewing! That being said, when we commit to a process and length of time, it is important to honor our orginal commitment; mine being to Juice Feast for 1 month; 30 days. That is a powerful methodology for any and all aspects of our lives; stay with the time you allot to something. In other words, if you are working on a project and have designated two hours in your day to focus on it, when that two hours is up, stop working an move onto something else. It's a wonderful methodology to accomplish your goals and homor your commitments.
Wednesday evening, Nubia is having the 5 Girls over, minus Irina, who is in Paris celebrating her life with dear friends. We'll be breaking bread with a raw potluck, though I will start my re-initiation to solid food with soaked prunes and prune water on Wednesday morning.
I appreciate everyone who inspired me on my journey and all the moments that have led up to this last month. I have been empowered by our fabulous Facebook Juice Feast community! Whenever I had a low moment, I would go on FB and see a hundred and fifteen names holding the energy for each of us to juice a little more in our lives; letting go of the old and bringing in the new. Thank you for keeping me on my path.
With Love and Gratitude,
