South of France, 60 day Juice Feast, Joyous New Year.......

           Antibes along the ramparts..............

Just got back home last night after eight days away - We drove down from London to the South of France, to spend Christmas with friends at Grasse.....

They have a beautiful house perched on the top of a hill with a superb view. It was fun, we had a great time together, visiting small Provencial towns in the mountains around, walking through old Antibes and driving through Cannes and along the Riviera......

St Paul en Vence

I had always been to this part of France in the summer when it was too hot and crowded, so this time around it was wonderful, serene, lit up for the festival with a fairy tale atmosphere.....

Magical.....

       Green Juice on the road .......

I managed to have 2 quarts of Green Juice everyday, thanks to carrying the Vitamix, nut milk bag and loads of produce in the car.......and had some salads or soup and sometimes a little lightly cooked food on the side too......

My friends were very supportive of my healing journey and asked a lot of questions - we had plenty of discussions about raw prana filled food, alkaline and acidic terrains, colonics, disease and healing.......

Then halfway through the holidays, I began detoxing my respiratory system for the first time since I began Green juices - lost my voice, pharyngitis, fever, bad coughing, chest pains - detox had to happen on this level too, specially as I had begun doing pranayama a couple of weeks ago, during my Juice feast and had also put out an intention to cleanse my lungs of years of smoking and breathing badly.......

I'm at home now, in bed, writing, drinking herbal teas or warm soups, breathing, coughing, hurting and yet, feeling grateful and good about detoxing my lungs :-)

Tomorrow is another day........and I will begin another Juice Feast - a much longer one this time, I know......as I need to shift and take my healing process to the next level now.......

I hope to do at least 60 days..........I have to go to India end of February, beginning of March, so the length of the Juice Feast will depend on my date of departure.......

I'm so excited, its going to be awesome........

Hope all of you have had a fantabulous Christmas........and here's wishing you a beautiful New Year 2008 - a new beginning, a new world........with Loads of Light, Love and Laughter......
