Just completing day six and feeling better.  Hunger pangs are almost nonexistant and i had tons of energy yesterday and today.  Yesterday i danced all morning and rode my bike around town with my kids- then jumped on the trampeline with them for about 45 minutes.  I was actually suprised by how much energy i had.  The weather has been gorgeous and sunny the past couple of days, and i realized today, sitting in the sun in my hot tub, how important the sun is. I have missed it so much this year!  It has been gray and cold mostly every day for so long that i forgot what it felt like to be outside and feel comfortably warm. 

I found a juicing combination i am feeling really good about whcih is spinache kale dandylion orange juice.  I also started taking green powcer.  I did not have any eliminations today which concerns me but have been drinking tons of water and takeing psyllium ad triphala.  I will try to go out tomorrow and buy the herbal laxative and the skin brush and the enema kit.  I am not looking forward to the enemas. 

Emotionally I have been feeling really clear and centered.  I have this sense of a fog lifting a little.  Not a dense fog- but enough of one to notice.  I forgot how much i love the feeling of cleansing.  I really feel good.  The only thing i dont like is the feeling of muscle tissue turning to fat.  I am loosing some weight but not a lot.  I dont own a scale so i am going by how my clothes fit and how i feel in them.

i had two experiences this weekend with feeling incredible.  one was at Kirtan (east indian call and response singing) where i felt my whole body buzzing for about an hour after- and really felt incredible all throughout it- and then with the five rhythms dance on sunday morning, i felt so joyful and endlessly energized that at one point i would actually say i felt ecstatic.  No wonder they often call it ecstatic dance!

My main goals on this cleanse are to really notice how i feel- to notice any shifts that may occur in my overall sense of well being.  So far i really feel calm and more alert and clear. I would like to figure out a way to juice more efficiently so that it doesnt take so long.  I would like to make juicing a regular routine in my life.  I would like to feel at peace in my body and in my whole self.  to feel grounded and whole and inspired.  I would like to live in allignment with my highest self.  Living without solid food gives me a sense of purpose and discipline and grounds me in what is truly inportant.  I realize i often use food to reward myself- through this kind of indulgence, i can pretend that this moment doesnt matter when in truth every moment matters.  Juicing makes me feel constatnly aware of this truth- and every time i notice a craving for something, i get to choose to let it pass, and stay present with myself instead.

This is very rewarding.
