Just past the 2 week mark & going well

Date:   1/18/2016 1:02:59 AM ( 8 y ago)

Late afternoon on my 15th day of the fast - going well, today's been really peaceful and pleasant - brought my vibes up this morning waking with a bit of Buddhist practice and a quick series of enemas - just did a couple clearing water with gerenium essential oil added than a coffee enema - it was a great way to start today, followed that with a nice bath and since then did a few errands, went out to the post office, watered and weeded the garden a little with all the bath water - talked to my mom, did some business speaking to tenants and organizing rental accom stuff for people - had a tea, some water, a couple italian sodas, a coffee and I've got a pickle, tomato, celery juice waiting to go when I return from the little walk I'm about to take in the beauty of the setting sun.

I had a couple of days of feeling a little emotionally down or drained, nothing major and it seemed to lift and be gone today - I was struggling a little those days also dreaming of breaking the fast and having a soup or something but again - I'm past that now. I'm glad I pushed through it, it would have been easy to give in to those feelings but they didn't last and I've continued on and come out of that. Part of it might have been just the big trip back here and part of it might have been just hitting that 2 week mark.

I feel like I've completed sort of stage one of this fast - lost my first 10 or so lbs, detoxed down a level or two - my tongue was pink again this morning but has been alternating between pink and going white again. Getting to 21 days seems like phase 2 now - then we'll see after that. The fast has been very easy for the most part - I'm a little lighter on energy at the moment, haven't felt some of the symptoms that I can get - in previous fasts my sense of smell was so heightened that I could be really bothered by bad smells - people's breath etc - I noticed a little of this at the start of this fast but not so much as usual - this sensation or side effect hasn't been so prevalent at all this fast. I haven't got any big boosts of energy but my energy's been good, constant with only a few days my feeling a bit tired in a heavy way, and lately as I deepen into the fast I find myself sleeping a little more and/or taking little 15 minute cat naps once or twice a day. I still stay up pretty late and the chulen pills & practice also seem to provide a few hours of steady energy afterwards.

Happy with how its all going at this point - I think its important now to focus my energies and activities and to bring this fast into a place of awareness - it is easy to just go on and on day to day and become unfocused. I should use this time - all the extra time - to work on some special projects - I've got to travel to the city again later this week, so my time's been a bit broken up with the trips and work on - after this trip however I think I'll be in one place for a couple weeks and I want to use that time to retreat more seriously and deepen into the spiritual journey of this fast.

More soon :)

Best of Luck to all you other fasters & yogi's out there!
