Hi once more to all those interested in my ongoing detox and rejuvenation fast. At the beginning of day 2 I awoke feeling quite tired and it took me a lot longer than usual to get out of bed. In fact most of the morning I felt weak which is unusual for me - I've done fasts quite frequently before and not suffered much from tiredness. I put it down to the parasite measures I was taking (see day 1) which feels quite tough on the body but I still feel inclined to persist with these throughout the fast. Today first on the list was a glass of strained linseed water (linseeds soaked overnight in boiling water and then strained in the morning). After which it seemed right to conduct my usual morning Openhand soulmotion moving meditation. soulmotion incorporates synchronising what we call 'surrendering movements' with breath. Attention is moved through various parts of the body using the breath to direct energy (consciousness) to that part. With keen focussed awareness, we invite the body to let go of tension and effort as it unfolds to its maximum extent. In truth, it is actually the mind that is letting go of tension and effort not the body. Contrary to traditional beliefs, the mind is not something that is merely located in the head somewhere behind the eyes. Mind exists in every cell of the body and it is mind conditioning that holds such things as stiffness, injury, pain, stress etc. etc. If we can erase the programming in the cells, the body is able to spontaneously heal itself - something we frequently witness in Openhand courses (find out more...Openhand Advanced Course Program). For me the meditation works hand in hand with the fast because it also helps release toxins from the body. After the meditation, I began a program of apple juice mixed with bentonite clay and psyllium husks followed by a glass of hot water containing one cap full of cider vinegar sweetened with honey. This would be taken five times at various intervals with nettle tea in between as and when I felt the need. As I write this it's early evening and the day has gone well. I've recovered now from my tiredness and I'm no longer hungry although it was a little challenging watching my wife eat steamed vegetables and quinoa! I was encouraged to explore an old Zen technique of sniffing deeply the aroma and seeking to experience the benefits of the food without consuming it. Sounds a little esoteric I know but it does in fact work (providing you first let go of the conditioning that says you need to eat food to enjoy it!). I haven't seen any sign of mucoid plaque yet, but I'm reliably informed that this could take a few days so onwards and upwards - or perhaps more appropriately outwards! Best wishes Open PS - Thanks so much for all your wonderful support :wink:
