de-toxing

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I have been 100% raw for about 2 weeks - I think the migraine was a detox

thing - my tongue was coated and I have been coughing a little too.

 

I feel ok today though - I think the trouble with eating little bits of

cooked foods is that it stops any de-toxing and so it is self defeating

really as I do want to detox and get all the toxins out of my body - I have

certainly put plenty in there with medication - I suppressed every symptom I

ever felt wanting an immediate " fix " - years of drinking and smoking 9not

for a long time now but still it happened) - my saving grace is that I have

never been one for face and body creams and sun lotions and all that - I

sort of knew that " beauty comes from within the body - never can be " put on "

- I have received lots of compliments in the last week on how I am looking

which is very nice. (I do still use a little make-up - I am no saint here!)

 

I told someone close yesterday about being raw and got a lot of support talk

- I was quite surprised as I expected opposition - we talked and we both

said that what we eat is such a personal and individual thing - individual

choice and as long as we are not hurting anyone, including ourselves, which

can be a big one, then all is well.

 

No one can argue with my way of eating at the moment as health is shining

out of me - it is there to see in my eyes and skin and hair. When I tell

someone I do not use shampoos and conditioners they are amazed - I only use

water now - maybe an avocado blended every now and again to " condition " my

hair if the sun has dried it. I am as brown as a berry - taking advantage of

the sunshine we are having at the present.

 

So happy about my life style - this is one of the best things I have done in

my life - I sat in the garden eating my grapes yesterday in absolute heaven

- knowing that it is one of the " right " foods and that all the liquid and

fibre I was getting from them can only do my body good - my mind is good

too and my spirit - I am taking care of all my needs today - physical,

spiritual and emotional - treating the whole person is so important so I can

be balanced as I am meant to be - that is important to me too - I read

spiritual material and I practice a spiritual way of life, I am practicing

my yoga again and gardening for my exercise. I look at myself everyday to

see how I am acting towards others and towards myself so I feel very

grounded " .

Love to all

Lynne

Thanks Lynne for a great post! It's not just about food but about all that

you have written. Sounds like you are covering all areas, body, mind and

spirit. Thanks for the sharing.

Love,
