Juice Feasting Day 7 - Releasing Armour

Friday 13^th March Juice feasting Day 7

I have completed 7 days of my 92 day juice feast and I am feeling fantastic! My energy levels have increased and I have greater clarity than I had prior to starting this amazing journey. I currently don’t have any detox symptoms which feels great and I have started exercising more consistently.

I still have trouble drinking the full quantity of recommended juice and have been drawn to drinking vast quantities of orange, grapefruit and lemon juice. I have increased my intake of green juices and this has immediately minimised any feelings of hunger. My body is beginning to change shape which is great as old barriers melt away and the fit body that I experienced for so many years is beginning to make an appearance. Of course I still have a lot further to go and I welcome this opportunity to nourish myself on every level. It is a real blessing to be participating in this juice feast for numerous reasons – not least of which is the opportunity once again to take control of my health from the inside out, something I promote in all the work I do with my clients. I believe we have the ability to continually improve our health as well as the opportunity to reassess who we really are and what we want from life. The thing is many people don’t stop long enough to ‘allow’ the space for initiating anything new, they find reasons not to love themselves enough...

I have lost 12lbs of ‘armour’ which I was ready to do and had prepared for. Just as people prepare for a holiday, prepare the garden for spring, I believe when you are making a new lifestyle change or choice it is important to prepare. Preparing for the juice feast was not just a case of making a shopping list of all the fruit and vegetables I required. For several weeks I reflected on why I wanted to participate in this 92 day challenge and what the benefits would be of doing so. I also identified what, if any, barriers might get in the way to me succeeding, what support I would need, what I hoped to achieve, what life would look, feel, taste, smell and sound like at the conclusion of this experience. I also considered what life would be like if I didn’t participate in this experience.

My armour has served me well during the past few years when life has challenged me on every level – something I asked for in view of the fact that I want to progress and become the best me I possibly can. I know that despite my armour I have personally advanced physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, including my ability to truly love myself at the deepest level. Why the need for armour then? Well, having reflected, meditated, discussed and reviewed my findings I recognise that my armour has served as a great personal learning experience which has equally contributed to my current professional role. Having created the armour and finally allowing it to melt I am in a position to relate to so many other people, some who are still holding on. Drawing on my personal and professional experience, I am in a position to offer my support in a multitude of ways in my role as The Conscious Living Practitioner™.

Life is a continuous, flowing, moving journey – there is nothing stagnant about it unless we get stuck. After all, we are each responsible for our lifestyle choices and our actions. I love the experience of breaking through old barriers and stagnant patterns and emerging out the other side. This process creates a sense of achievement underpinned with gratitude that I have made further progress and allowed myself to fully embrace the true essence of this journey, my life!

I wonder where you are on your journey and if you can relate to anything I have said. Please feel free to share your thoughts.

Love, light and blessings
