Wild Juice Feasting!

I am so inspired and motivated. I shall keep this entry short as it is past midnight on day One of my Thirty-Four Day Juice Feast. Yes, I get to wake up every morning, drink one quart of pure spring water with MSM and 1/2 of a lemon, and then scrape and liver toxifying white coating off of my tongue with a tongue scraper before engaging in other morning hygeine practices.

I also get to feast on Vegetable juices for Thirty-Four days! A part of me wishes already I could go longer yet I will enjoy Six days of superfood smoothies as I lessen the juices for the last 6 days, making a 40 Day Life Changing, New Habit Creating, Feast!

For three years I have been watching my energy slump, my health lacking luster and radiance, my yoga and studies becoming chores instead of joys, and feeling bloated, puffy, and bombarded by bodily aches and pains.

I have been eating a raw food diet for 9 years yet most times when I get to a place of lethargy I reach for stimulants and, sadly, sometimes a little cooked food. There have been successful Juice Fasts in the past, yet never a Juice Feast!

If all of the times I listened to the wisdom of pain and puffiness, I would have Juice Fasted or Feasted many more days over the last decade.

Yet, 'tis never too late. On April 5th, 2009, my 5'8" frame weighed in at 134 pounds. I have been proudly bragging to friends about how I can eat 8 to 12 ounces of Nuts and Seeds daily and still stay at a reasonable weight. Yet this feast is not about weight. I am so ready to wake up feeling fresh and lively and to get the bounce back in my movements that I lost by seeking comfort and numbing out with heavy "RAW" foods.

My step-son took a "before" picture of me today. I was standing, relaxed, not trying to look bad, on the deck. I looked absolutely aweful! Yet I can say with all my heart that this is not "bad". It is "The Best Picture Ever" and the pains are also not "sad" but are "The Best Teachers Ever"!

I hit rock bottom. I sunk to the depths of a deep and muddy lake. I now get to swim to the surface and share the glory of Juice Feasting with anyone who happens upon this genius program the way I did!!!

With the promise of lightness and joy, Yogi Suzi
