Have you ever cried with the deepest love for a cucumber? A granny smith apple? Some kale?
These vegetables moved me to tears this morning. This is what I juiced for breakfast, except for the lemons which I had not yet picked in my backyard. Today is my last full day of juicing before I begin to eat. I have to begin my transition back to food tomorrow because it takes 6 days after this long, and I'm going to Esalen next Sunday and I will need to be ready to eat food by then. I will not have my juicer there, but they do have a juice bar so I will be looking forward to some fresh juices there. Hopefully some with greens! They make beautiful food, plus have a huge salad bar and grow organic produce right there on-site, so the food will be terrific and there will be lots of raw food. What a perfect place to begin my eating now in my new life and to welcome my 50th birthday, on June 5th while experiencing the Venus Transit.
I wish I had taken a before picture of myself. My whole body. The change is amazing. This morning as I was cleaning and cutting the vegetables for my juice I just started to cry. I felt overwhelmed with gratitude for these vegetables, which will never look the same to me ever again--they gave me my life back. Literally. They have sustained me and transformed me in alignment with my intention to be radiantly healthy. Nothing else I tried before accomplished this and I have been passionately, consciously evolving my nutrition for a long while. The answer, was a preponderance of living foods and the deep healing and rejuvination of raw, live, mostly green, juice.
I am so grateful I cannot express even how I feel. I realized while feeling this intense emotion that even as a kid I had digestive problems. I remember going into the bathroom in my grade school and having horrible pain and cramping in my abdomen some of the time. I also got the mercury fillings, which eventually developed into toxicity within my body as an adult, as a kid/teenager, which means I had very toxic metal in my body since I was quite young. When I was born and placed into foster care before adoption, I did not get touched much before I got adopted. I also had glasses very young which tells me I was stressed out very much as a baby.
All of this and I would have said before I had been relatively healthy, until I got the mercury toxicity. But in hindsight, with the level of energy, clarity and unbelievable radiance I am embodying now, I would revise that prior assessment.
This re-boot is really the phoenix rising, for me. I have been able to bring my well-being into alignment with the original intention I had for living a high-vibration life as an act of love for everything that is. My sense of relief, deep emotions of gratitude and awe and an entire sense of unfamiliar newness are pervasive for me right now.
I know now that living foods are an Ascension Key--to reinstate the body to wholeness and give us a vessel constructed of high-vibration energies. Since the food we eat creates our cellular structure which combine to create our living organism/vehicle, the food we eat is an imperative if we want a high vibration vessel.
Every time I put lower vibration, congesting or already decaying food into my body, my body has to use energy it could use for creativity or expression, to heal and reinstate wholeness because I'm constantly adding to my body's burden when I don't eat living, high vibration food. I dilute my life energy when I use my digestive system--the biggest energy consumer in my body--to deal with less than high-quality fuel.
To optimize my life, I see now by my own first hand experience, that raw living plant foods is the optimum nutrition to reach my spiritual potential. Each of us has to discover our own perfect balance to evolve spiritually and I've now found mine.
We all have so much potential and yet so much lies unrealized because perhaps we don't know how to live it. Much of the old paradigm ways obviously don't lift your energy. Yet even if we have a sense of what will bring us more fully to life, we often mull it over for months or years and do nothing. It's so hard to go against the grain of our society, our childhood experiences, our emotional associations with patterns and habits and also to take the path others are not travelling, the unusual, different one, that's emerging on the leading edge and not yet popular.
To live this way requires self-trust and courage. Willingness to change and let go, and allegiance to learning and well-being, not familiarity.
I want to live a life where I embrace what I know and live from my own leading edge, embracing and embodying the wisdom and intuition of my inner current and those things I resonate with and sense will open up my life more fully. As I encounter and mend my own patterns of limitation and learn how to love myself into a greater expression of my own potential, I share my path of reclaiming my birth blueprint and enabling my physical body to support me in this. I am deeply grateful to Archangel Michael for his validation and guidance about this in his recent messages about living foods, which came right when I was committing deeply to my juice feast--these messages gave my intuitive move toward this spiritual nutrition grounding. And then wings.
Tomorrow, on Day 28, I will start eating solid food again. I am not the same person and as my cells over time completely remake my body with living foods, I will enable the best version of me that I am capable of physically to take form.
I am deeply, deeply grateful to the Omni-verse for it's life-force energy, to the Sun, for it's generous sustenance and to this beautiful planet and all who grow organic, health-giving, health-healing and health-empowering foods so that I may obtain them without becoming a gardener myself. (I do hope to grow more and more of my own foods in the future.) And to all those who share their learnings--writing and teaching--to shine their light so that I might be drawn to it's source and find my own way.
I am deeply blessed.
What a wonderful gift you've given yourself Meredith! I'm planning on getting a juicer next week and beginning a healthier/cleaner/more alive way of eating too and I'm wondering if you just "juiced" or did you add protein powder to your juices?

Hi Meredith :)
Thank you for sharing this as I am on Day 9 of my juice feast. Archangel Micheal's message came at the perfect time as well. I have been planning to try this but I don't think I would have taken the plung without his words. I really needed to hear yours as well though because I have had a harder time these past 2 days. I wasn't planning on fasting this long. I felt like quitting yesterday and today but something :) keeps nugging me to persevere. So I think I will give it one more day tomorrow, one day at a time.
I do want to tell you one thing that I was blessed with today. My most difficult food craving thus far has been pecans and nuts in general because I always have a bowl of these around and eat on them throughout my day. Well as I was working in the garden today I pulled up a funny looking weed that turned out to be a pecan tree. My cats don't allow squirrels into the yard and I don't have any other trees so it's magical to me how it got there. I quickly put it in a pot and watered and loved it. I am so excited to plant it!
Lovin' you :)
Kitty

Could you give us the recipe for the Green Drink that you make with the juicer. I just bought one and am ready to do some juicing. Phyllis
