Raw food reflections

images-4.jpg So I've been on this pure raw diet for a full week, after having been on a detox veggie diet for a week. Tonight is the 3rd 21 Day Detox Lecture and officially the beginning of an all raw, liquid week.

I notice things are shifting with the all raw diet I have been on with two liquid meals and one solid per day.

On occassions when I would normally hold something upsetting in or defuse it within myself and let it go, I have had loud angry outbursts with my husband. It has caught us both by surprise... more so me listening to a stream of words coming out of my own mouth almost as if I were watching a film. The words and feelings were true, but taken to an extreme beyond needed... and I felt physically impossible to stop it.

Also, my energy levels have plunged. Normally I can go to the gym and do an intense 45 minute cardio session followed by lots of weights and stretching. Today I went in and felt like stopping after 30 minutes of 4.3 mph walking on the treadmill and one set of lifting. Practice times in the studio have been challenging to maintain my focus. I am telling myself this is all part of the process, as I have heard and experienced before.

None the less, I am committed to maintaining a serious change in my life after the detox. I took the plunge and bought a vitamixer and a food dehydrator so that I can make some more dynamic raw foods after the detox is over. I've always wanted to make dried vegetable chips and raw breads, am am exited to explore this whole world of raw cheffing. I don't think a 100% raw lifestyle is right for me at this moment, especially in this San Francisco climate, but I definately want to bring in at least 60-70% raw from now on.

When I drink the energy soup, I can feel how much life energy it has in it... I can smell it and instantly feel it as it goes into my body. It is practically glowing with green energy! I love all these raw foods! At the same time, I look forward to bringing some range fed, organic beed into my diet at least once a week when this is over... it is so grounding.

Creator, I want to ask for continued awareness of how to nourish myself on all levels. There is a divine download being delivered to me right now with all the information I need about how to support my own healing and renewal. I am so grateful for all the wonderful resources about healthy living which continue to pour into my life. I am excited to continue learning about how life energy infuses the food I consume. I know that an amazing stream of raw food recipies and raw food allies are heading toward me at light speed! I download from Source how to bring radiant life energy into every aspect of my life. Thank you for the space and quiet time to process and internalize these remarkable realizations. Thank you for surrounding me with friends and family who support this journey of transformation!

Christabel,

I just had raw cauliflower soup. I was on a raw food diet for a week about a year ago, and I remember thinking that I wanted to make raw food a big part of my life. I wished that all grocery stores sold raw almond butter, and that all restaurants served raw pizza, etc. But after the week of raw diet, I kind of forgot about it. THANK YOU for reminding me! I am re-inspired to make raw food a big part of my life.

A breakfast suggestion: I ate a mushed up banana with blueberries and walnuts on top for breakfast every day when I was on the raw diet. It was delicious!
