Carl Gustav Jung, Swiss psychiatrist, Psychologist and Founder of the Analytic Psychology, 1875-1961
Hello all,
Many of you are starting your juice fast today, which is great! Hopefully, you've enjoyed at least 2 juices by now.
As per usual, I started my day with a colonic, and then followed it with a 16oz. mixed vegetable juice. I bought it, since I live 1 block away from a juice place, but for the rest of the week, I'll be making my own juices using my mentor, Gil Jacob's, recipe of Italian Kale and green apple. Its quite potent and wouldn't recommend it to those who are new into juicing.
So the good and bad of the juice fast. It loosens and unearths a lot of toxins, old and new alike, and gets it ready to be moved out. The body begins to be in a state of detox. Now if the body doesn't move it out as quickly as it should- its starts to rear its ugliness in other ways: pimples, skin rashes, headaches, and mood swings to name a few. That's when a colonic is necessary. Its the only way to really move out all those toxins that are ready to be shipped off and never return-until the next batch arrives. Its endless!!! Poop, that is. Poop and the body's ability to produce it. Sigh.....
So as the first day continues, I'm drawn to an excerpt that answers my question as to why I am doing this fast. Its a passage from Marc David and his book, "Nourishing Wisdom".
"Bodies are not simply biological facts, static anatomical entities that obey scientific laws alone. Bodies are imagined. ..... The way we imagine the body is a foundation for how it responds physiologically. Likewise, the way we imagine the body will determine our relationship to food, the types of food we eat, and the kind of body we will help create."
I highly recommend this book to everyone to read. It is the best book that I've read that helps answers all the buzzing questions in our mind about how we eat, and our physiologically relationship to food.
Ok, everyone. Happy Juicing and we'll chat later this evening.
Jenn
