A little over 3 weeks till departure and I am busy trying to get all the material ready to turn in for the next CD project so that when I return from India there will be boxes of CD/DVDs waiting for me.
Today is day #4 back on the juice, if we excuse that little mishap with the BLT, and I am at the threshold of what I call "lift off." It happens between 3 and 7 days of a juice fast when your appetite gets tired of throwing its tantrums and you start feeling more alive.
One of the things I love about this phase is the childlike nature that returns to me. Last time I fasted for 3 weeks I found that I was no longer content to climb into bed. No, I needed to do a summersault into bed! 2 months into another juice fast I recall being assigned a long reading project in a room all by myself, with a chair that spun. That was fun.
I thought today might be lift off day but instead I am dealing with a mild headache and other strange aches in my upper spine that come and go every time I fast. Arnold Erhet taught that a fast is a great diagnostic tool that reveals current and future problems in the body by causing flare ups during the first 3 days. He said that after the diagnostics, the fast, if maintained for a long enough period would also allow the body's natural healing process to occur in those same areas.
Maybe lift off will happen tomorrow.
I can see you flipping a somersault and spinning with childlike delight in your chair! You are a breath of fresh air, my friend! Blessings to you!
