Re: Juicing Day 13
Ok I admit it - I finally become so intrigued with the whole raw issue that I have just ordered a raw 'uncook' book. When you first went raw I had the whole 'that's something I could never even dream of' going through my head. I've kept reading though and I can't seem to get it out of my mind.
Oddly this juice article really caught my attention. I realised that one of my fears about going raw (aside from the feeling anti-social issue) is actually being afraid of having that amount of energy. Having suffered anxiety all my life (sometimes to the point where it became debilitating) I realised I associate having energy with having anxiety. When anxious I usually feel there is an enormous amount of energy inside me just twisting and turning in on itself.
Reading your article today made me really think about this and to quietly laugh at myself and my fear. How can I be afraid of a state I have never experienced - how can I possibly judge what that will feel like based on previous or past feeling!
So thankyou for that 'aha' moment. I'm not going raw overnight. I am doing a lot of reading and research and trying out new recipes to find foods I enjoy. I adore salad so that won't be a problem but I need and want to experiment.
Your juice journey is equally fascinating reading - especially how your intuition is increasing as well. I was also amazed at the 'before and after' pictures link you posted on Facebook as well.
I'm off to dig out my juicer and find the blades for my blender :-)
