Guest guest Posted June 19, 2006 Report Share Posted June 19, 2006 Thanks so much, Anne Yet another perfect example that if we are in tune with our bodies, we DO know what's best for us! Thanks so much for the validation. I KNEW my body was beginning to need other things... but some of us are still stuck on believing everything we're told, and need to be told another way is ok before we move on! I am working real hard on allowing my intuition some rights... LOL! But in the mean time, this group is a true blessing for my UNlearnings! ) I appreciate your guidance!!! Love and Blessings, ~Raaven I left your whole post, because I thought it was pretty cool info... and thank you for the name compliment... it is actually my Art signature And it IS from the poem!

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2006 Report Share Posted June 22, 2006 Hi Raaven: Sure your body was telling you to add something else to the cleanse. As I mentioned; the foods you eat after your fast are just as important as the fast itself if not more so. You want to set up a plan of eating for yourself for the next year. I recommended Salads wSeeds/Nuts such as others have mentioned. When exactly do you plan to break your fast? With what? Fruit? You want to see you body as your friend and co-worker and by that I mean; you do not want to overly punish your body either...in terms of fasting and not having enough calories; nutrients; electrolytes. Have you considered adding any other Liquids after Day 14? anne. herbal remedies , " E J Lanier " <raavenart wrote: > > Thanks so much, Anne Yet another perfect example that if we are in > tune with our bodies, we DO know what's best for us!
