@Shawna Totally! Get the song. That’d be fun. And ya know, we can be relaxed AND be dancing. I’ve come to see that relaxing is not just something that happens with eyes closed and completely still bodies. Though, that of course feels really nice. But even when we’re working we can be relaxed. When we’re exercising, dancing, driving, talking with others. I see relaxing as like Allowing. It’s really being with what’s going on right now. Not being in the past or future – mentally. Just being with what I’m doing.

Sometimes I name things around me to help me come to the present and be with it. Plant. Jeans. Blanket. Floor. Carpet. Just grounds me to what is really here and I can relax into that. Takes my mind from wherever it may have been and brings it to me. Right now. A relaxed mind is just here.

I am tense and wound up all the time. I definitely need to take Frankie’s advice and start relaxing. Although I may have to download the song and dance around first then relax.

I can’t tell you how grateful I am for you telling me this. Honestly, I got tears in my eyes yesterday when I was making juice, because I was so happy to do it again. I had no idea that I needed more fruit… I’d asked on forums and stuff, but nobody had a response for me. How did you learn that? Just experience? (I know you’re right because my intuition tells me so, too. )

I’m going to go with low alkaline fruits and work my way up: http://www.trans4mind.com/nutrition/pH.html

…and then still stick lots of veggies in there.

Yesterday I went to drink a juice I made and unconsciously got ready to be disgusted, but was so surprised when what came into my mouth was GOOD. It felt awesome.

This morning I made spinach + pineapple. That worked out to be really good, too.

Aaaand I’ll have more lemon water too.

Thank you again, very very much!!

Rachel yes – the first time I ever had a super veggie juice from Whole Foods (Because my friends who were into them told me I should have one) I nearly vomited. I felt so sick to my stomach.

Why? Because of all the food I had eaten over my life – I was very acidic. The alkalinity of the juice was so intense. It makes us feel awful.

Start drinking some lemon water every day. Lemons are notoriously acidic, but when they get in the body, they are alkalizing.

And yes, do more fruits and just slowly add in the greens. Fruit juice of your loving with just a handful of spinach to start. Romaine is also a really easy green to get down in my opinion. I am super loving it lately. Let your body get used to the greens slowly and your body will love it.

You’re going to love juicing again! Yay!

I’m so excited for you. xoxo

I had NO IDEA that it was my body being too acidic!! None at all! Thank you for telling me that!! I read your post and got so excited and started juicing up some foods in my fridge. If I know it won’t be so painful, I would love, love, LOVE to juice again!

And thank you for the couch offer! That is very awesome of you.

It’s crazy how good it works. Seriously. I went to the beach the other day and everyone was eating chips and party food around me and I was just fantasizing of eating Subway, chips, nachos, pickles, doritoes. And it totally worked. I fake nibbled on them and laughed about it and said yum yum yum. And it was done. I was totally happy and satisfied. Let me know how it goes if you try it.

@Rachel Hey girl! Yes, go for juicing for the rest of the day and take in some carrot apple types of things. Too much greens can definitely make us sick. If that happens it’s because our system is very acidic and it’s reacting to the intense alkalinity of the greens we’re putting into it.

So ease into the greens for sure. I have a mix every day of fruits/veggies and just veggies. I’m going to post my favorite recipes in my next post so you can try some of them maybe. They are easy and enjoyable. Mmm.

I will love whenever you’re able to come out. We have a couch here so if you need a couple nights you could totally do that here with me and my roomie Shawn. She’s great.
