Okay so here I am preparing for this juice feast. It's New Year's Eve and I'm headed to a party later. Today I went to the farmer's market and bought fresh produce to begin. I have carrots, beets, apple, celery, butternut squash, garlic, burdock root, lemons, parsley...I also have plenty supplements and herb teas on hand like Vitamineral Green, Vit C, Oxymag, Psyllium, Flax oil, essiac, enzymes etc.
My goals in this juice fast are five-fold:
1. Improve my health first and foremost (and looking younger would be a happy side benefit).
2. Do some overdue emotional detoxing. I am holding on to some emotions right now that are not healthy and have contributed to my health issues.
3. Awaken higher mind functions so as to assist me in my studies, and help me make some important decisions about my future.
4. Overcome my tendency to binge eat. People don't realize I do i because I am not overweight and have a fast metabolism. But in times of stress I sometimes just eat until I'm sick in the stomach. It leaves me feeling very out of control.
5. Become more spiritually attuned.
God willing this juice fast will last 30-60 days. Throughout this time I plan to do yoga and light exercise, sauna treatments, salt baths, enemas, and meditation and and important one is getting to bed at a reasonable time.
I will be drinking fresh juices, broths, water, coconut water, warm herb teas, and some green drinks in powdered and fresh form. I'll also do some flax oil.
The last time I attempted a 60 day juice fast, I barely lasted 2 weeks. Or was it 3? I can't remember. But this time I'm giving it my all and pushing through. I hope to blog as much as I can to document this and hopefully inspire you.
Thanks for reading.
