Notes from Day 5 of Cleansing- NO FOOD

What a morning already -**absolutely magical- but first;
  • Drank 2x coffee in early morning, then again afternoon. 
  • Found need for more water, salt too (which I dissolve on my tongue before drinking water). 
  • No bowel movements, just normal bladder release.
  • No desire for food
  • Was out with a dear friend, and for any energy I may have been lacking, she poured into me and we cycled it between us- what love, what beautiful love. There's little story, (but another magical one), which is at the bottom of this post :) AND- You'll be hearing more about her in another blog post as she's one of the most beautiful women I know. 
  • Was nice being out in the sun and in public, as admittedly, I've become such a hermit of late.
  • Evening, more tired. Was ready for bed by 9:30pm, and was horizontal by around 10pm or so, though it took me some time to drift off.
  • I feel I'm getting closer to being solely on water, but ready to release the lovely taste and smell of coffee just yet ;) Slowly but surely.

**Absolutely Magical continued

I awoke incredibly tired, and prolonged in bed for a little while. It was around 7am by the time I got up, but before I did, I know I needed to tap (do EFT).

I'd had a very telling dream, in regards to my period. It's not uncommon for me to dream about my period in the days before I get it, but this dream was two-fold. 

I'd dreamt that I was sitting on a toilet and I could overhear two women behind me, one telling the other, "tell her!", but it was already too late. I'd already seen the blood on my panties and panicked. 

I had no idea why I'd bled, and frantically tried to wash it away, by reaching into the toilet bowl for water, to cleanse. I felt a sense of wonderment in my dream, an unknowing.   

When I did wake up, the dream was the first thing on my mind. I knew that I had to tap, because the first thing place my mind went to was the day I actually did get my period. 
Purposeful heart of menstrual blood on
on the back of my favourite pictures of Yurai. I'll be
sharing a separate post about the magic and
energy behind menstrual blood. 

I didn't actually have a clue as to what it was, and after finding the blood stain on my panties, I removed them and tried as hard as I could to remove the stain, scrubbing them vigorously in the bathtub, like I'd committed a crime. I didn't say a word to anyone, and proceeded to wrap my new panties with a load of toilet paper, which I repeated every time I went to the bathroom. 

There wasn't even any question for me as to why my mother nor older sister didn't say anything to me. It wasn't until last year that I felt anything about the event, and it was anger that struck. The feeling came and went, but this morning, not that I felt angry on a conscious level, but I knew I had to  do some tapping to release what my dream showed me. 

Low and behold, I got up - exhausted - did my water meditation, still exhausted, started writing yesterdays' blog, but couldn't stand up for very long. 

I sat on the couch and when I got up to greet Yurai to the new day, I had such a head rush, that I needed to sit down immediately. 

A cup of coffee might help, I thought, and Yurai made us some, but that wasn't it. In my exhaustion, I'd forgotten to tap, so without another moment to waste, I started.

The wording went something like:
(Karate Chop point) Even though I had this peculiar dream last night about menstruation, I truly and completely love and accept myself. (3 times). 

Tapping through the rest of the points was a more of a monologue in my mind, without structure, something along the lines of: 
This dream that I had last night about finding blood in my panties, with two women speaking behind me (of me), brought up feelings of anger. Right now, I feel terribly exhausted, like I have a layers and layers of something on top of me....
Not very long after I began tapping, I got emotional, a very good sign that I was releasing something my subconscious was harbouring from the tender age of 12.

I kid you not, in the very least, the tiredness was gone, and immediately I got up to write this very post.

It's only 9:30am, and I have the rest of the day to play. :) but that wasn't it. In my exhaustion, I'd forgotten to tap, so without another moment to waste, I started.

The wording went something like:
(Karate Chop point) Even though I had this dream last night about menstruation, which really threw me for a loop, I truly and completely love and accept myself. (3 times).

"Magic," came not only once via EFT/Tapping, but at least twice :) In our catch up, my friend was telling me of frustration with her dog. I suggested we do some Tapping/EFT to firstly, deal with her emotions towards the dog, and then to tap on behalf of the dog. 
We did it in a matter of minutes and I'd said to her that it might be some days before she experiences changes, and to continue tapping, as we'd done together.

Within minutes of me leaving, she rang me to say it works, (Tapping), really works. 
She was sweeping the floor, and what usually happens is the dog goes berserk, wanting to bite at the broom, but this time she just sat and observed :)))).



Should you wish to tap into yourself, I show you how to do it here:

Notes on first 4 days of cleansing - NO FOOD

Commenced Cleanse on Saturday, 11 April

Day 1: easy as pie, literally, nothing out of the ordinary and quite happy not to eat. Drank mostly water, with 2 cups of light coffee. (Details below).

Day 2:  same as above, except, as there was a bottle of fresh grape juice,  I had a glass in the evening, (made from scratch by Yurai's parents - literally fresh grapes which were crushed and frozen immediately after picking).  

Day 3: Loved the juice from previous night and with it's diuretic properties (full of all kinds of goodness, including fiber :)), I decided to go through the whole bottle. Needless to say, the toilet was indeed my best friend!
By late afternoon, I was very tired, and tucked into bed, for what turned out to be a 40 minute(ish) nap, which felt like half a night of sleep. I felt very very cold when I went to bed, and had a bizarre feeling, that I was a wave, (a wave of water moving in slow motion). I didn't pay too much attention to it.
Awoke alright and made sure to drink water and suck on some salt, followed by rosehip tea, (also made by Yurai's parents).

Oddly when I went to bed for the night, I had the same feeling of being a wave. Nothing to say about that other than it was a very cool and good feeling. :)

Day 4: A.m.a.z.i.n.g.
I was so full of creativity yesterday. Back to mostly water and coffee, and powered through the day. Got out into the sun, which was gorgeous and filled me further. Got "lost" in taking pictures :)
I find myself tiring faster, especially when I'm on my feet (I'm standing whilst working online from my computer) - which only gives more reason to take breaks more often! :) 

---------
Events leading up to the cleanse:
I'd been contemplating it for a week already, not feeling the need to eat, so by the time Saturday rolled around, I was ready, and I started, with great ease, feeling that it was the perfect timing. 
This was much the same way as I'd commenced the last cleanse, and feeling really balanced, I had great resolve within me, that I would get through an emotional woes, with tapping, no matter how strong they are. 

During the last cleanse, I experienced some very neat things.
By week two, I'd adjusted to solely drinking water, having got into a rhythm of sipping through a glass approximately every hour.

Everything was fine until one day, my belly started to bloat. A couple of years ago that would have been really strange, seeing to it as I wasn't eating food, but knowing what I now know, I asked myself- what in my life am I not digesting? 
Being bloated, further confirmed in me that it isn't food that necessarily causes bloating, (unless we have an internal subconscious program which expects us to), rather, that it was a sign to dig into my life to see where there was discord. (I've learned much through Louise Hay in the last couple years, and he ideas and experiences make very much sense to me. A good starting point for me was her book "Heal Your Body," which is my bible).

Through tapping (EFT), and releasing the issue, so too did I release the bloating. :) 

This is one of the reasons why I cleanse now, as I mentioned before, to further go inward, and not use food as a crutch to hide from something in my life. 

I'm well aware that this may come across as a whole bunch of esoteric talk. It's my truth, and I encourage you to make your own. 

Much continued love and peace.

Game on- water again. DAY 4 - NO FOOD

Ok, I wasn't going to share this till later, (kind of insurance that I followed through and didn't look like a fool if I didn't make it to 21 days of water, (yes, again).

BUT, I just walked into the kitchen and realised that I feel really really good, and am full of creativity, and why not share every single day of this water cleanse with you?

No reason not to. So here we go, game on ;)

Truth be told, it is, as per the title of this post, Day 4 already.

The reason I'm doing this, again?

It was so enriching last time, in so many ways.
Since the original cleanse, I often do days with only water (or coffee), but I had a strong pull to go for the long haul again, and actually, this time I may go on to either 30 or 40 days. Let's see.

Why? Well, it was that same pattern, again, my food behaviour, which spurred this, and because of the intense healing effects of good old plain water.  (It was Dr, Emoto, of Japan, with some pretty amazing research, who first got me thinking about it, a few years back. His rice study, blew was really impressive-see short video here).
--
I learn so much about myself when I only consume water, and namely due to the fact that I,  (not all the time, but enough), use food as a crutch, as a bandaid. As it's the only crutch that I have, by removing it, I invite myself to go deeper inside me to deal with whatever issue I'm facing, rather then masking it with food.

Allow me to offer you an example.
A few weeks back, I'd decided I would cleanse over the time I was having my period. Actually, I'd wanted to start 40days of water then, as my period lined up with the full moon, lunar eclipse, & spring equinox = perfect 'magical,' timing, but I didn't last more than four days.

What caused me to sink into my emotions and break the cleanse, opting for a very comforting meal of cookies and milk, was an experience that shook me so greatly that I couldn't even use tapping (Emotional Freedom Technique/EFT), to clear it.

I'd seen something which triggered a slew of emotions within me, and I couldn't shake it AT ALL. The situation took me back to being a young girl, feeling abandoned, and neglected. Surely the cookies and milk helped ALOT,  (that's what bandaids are for), though when I felt better from them, I tapped through (EFT), the situation that my mind had shown me, and released it.

I've been an emotional eater for a long long time, and removing food shows me that I depend on it to solve a problem, but now, I have the ability to go straight to the root, and nip it. That is the blessing of tapping- and water further clears the pathways within me, doing the things I ask of it.

Going forward.
For sometime now, I've been mediating over water, energizing it.
I sit in the kitchen, in the direct sun, with my hands around a glass of water.
To get into an alpha state, I use Ho'oponono (repeating: I'm sorry, please forgive me, thank you, I love you).
In my mind I picture myself connected to Father Sun, with a crystal bright light. As the light moves through me to my feet, it gets darker, picking up all the negative conditioning, programming, and toxins in general, which my cells hold onto.
From there, I imagine Mother Earth taking over. She pulls outs what's been collected in the light, absorbs it, cleans and recycles it, and from her grow beautiful flowers, reaching back up to Father sun.

Once there, in a sort of trance, my inner child comes out. She's the cutest thing, with angel wings.
From the top of my head, she moves along, over my whole body, massaging it, and aiding in the cleansing.

After she's done, I see myself drinking the energized water.  It cleanses every single cell of my body, and fills them with love.
I imagine all this, with the light from Father Sun, absorption of the stuff that no longer serves me by Mother Earth, and it works wonders for me.

After this, I tend to my plants - black beans, which I've grown from scratch - which offers me much solace, and the day goes on.

As I've decided to share this with you, every day, I'll be writing about the water cleanse. Today is day four, and as I said before, I feel marvellous.

More from me tomorrow, time to catch some sun :)

Much peace and love,
xxMunjeet

PS: Last night I cooked a meal for my husband, without tasting, of course, and needless to say, it was orgasmic (his words!).
Let it be known that I love food. I love how it lights up all my senses. I love the art of food. I love cooking. I love playing with it and in fact, give considerable time to Pinterest, looking up new things all the time.
In saying al this, food is not the issue, nor my issue, but I do this to get to the root of what exactly my issue is. This, I might add, is my way, my truth, and not for everyone.
