Day 7 – 13 Jan 2012

Woke up with great excitement this morning! I did another yogic intestinal cleanse, by drinking some saline water and doing some simple stretches to move my internal organs. It is recommended to keep your intestines clean particularly when you are on a raw food diet so you body can absorb all the nutrition better. So it was an early good start

Being too identified with an excitement of something, sometimes proves to be not a great thing. Life keep teaching you lessons you refuse to learn. I was suddenly hit by a wave of frustration, yes, there was a trigger, and thankfully so, because it helped to rise that frustration and let it off. I know its not something from the outside, like my trigger, it’s my own stuff that was arising. With that awareness, even though the mind was noisy in retaliation, I was hit by silence. I could not say a word. The experience of frustration came about like a big sadness that I can’t describe. Tears came down, frustratingly too, nothing like a rainfall, and it left me rather powerless. I gave myself permission to experience that fully! Growing pains I call it! Very necessary at times, just to keep you in check and in balance. It’s time for a journey process! For me to learn and hopefully let it go!

I had some slices of watermelon for breakfast. Another usual smoothy for snack! Went out for lunch but did not feel hungry so I just drank lots of water. That smoothy kept me full! Came back felt a bit hungry and I had an apple and more watermelon! Snacked on some almonds, dates and cashew nuts. As I write this, I can hear my house help juicing some green apple and celery for me. That’s what I’ll have for dinner.

Last few years, I found weekends really hard not to eat the usual food! This year, I know its going to effortless. I love this diet, this being-ness. Its like being in Love with Life, with all the growing pains and pleasures! Wish you all a lovely weekend!

Love and Light
