Reeling Through My Mind


For 32 days, I have been quietly observing the film of my life story unraveling before my eyes. Memories appear at the strangest of moments; in the queue at the supermarket, sitting on a bus, in the throes of lovemaking (very frequently!), whilst reading a book -the most random of moments embedded in my past are, for a moment in relived in their entirety, and with gusto. These are never bad memories, they often bring me closer to my family or a moment of pleasure that I project into future plans. I think about going back to that beach in Barcelona, sending some love to my brother in London to correct an argument we had as kids, hugging my mum for that meal she once prepared. But it is so strange to experience the vigor of an experience that dates over a decade with the vigor of sensation that I can actually taste certain foods in my mouth, smell salty sea water on the balcony of our childhood holiday flat, relive the melancholy of teenage years, as if tapping into the hidden pockets of my recollection. I am not suggesting that Juice Feasting has given me the superpowers of an upgraded hard drive but that memories are indeed never forgotten but entwined into every moment that we live and emerge in the cleansing process to re-establish a balance in our goals, dreams and general disposition in life. I am learning huge appreciation for many things, and feeling connected to the Universe, to know that everything is here for a reason, and to learn from every moment. And conversely in reminiscing; painful hardships no longer invoke suffering. I look over them with such fondness of moments that have both formed me and become a part of who I am today. I really am enjoying this precious journey of introspection, veritably feeling truth and understanding it for the first time. Only if one really feels deep love and compassion, can you show people with true certainty that it is possible to find balance and realignement in the Universe. I am grateful to actually be living these lessons rather than reading them because things seems to resonating with much greater clarity.
On a more material note, I am experiencing and a little pain in my lower back (possible the kidneys?). Hoping that I have some good detoxing going on. Spots are almost gone and my skin is glowing (with joy), and I am feeling physically radiant and sexy.

Today I Had:

1l Fennel, Lettuce, Pear Juice
1l Vegetable Broth
1l Pineapple Juice
1l Parsley, Romaine, Celery and Apple Juice
250ml Carrot Juice

I have not been getting the full quart of juices into my daily intake these past couple of days since I have not been as physically active as usual and have not felt any desire to force myself. Will be back on track tomorrow!
