Well, after five days of eating some solids and 2 quarts of green juices too every day - a new decision is made today......something totally unexpected.......and yet, on this journey of healing, so many unpredictable and amazing things have happened, nothing should surprise me anymore......
I am leaving for Paris the day after, on Sunday, for five days - and then a few days later, on the 1st of March, I leave for India.....and will not be using my return ticket and coming back here.
We are moving to Pune, a lovely town close to Mumbai.....
So, for almost 6 weeks, I will be staying as a guest, in Paris as well as in India (Mumbai, Pune, Auroville) with different people, family and friends, before I find a place for us and set up a home in my country......
Food is quite a sensitive issue for most people, a refusal to eat what they eat (which is mainly cooked food) while living with them, can offend, provoke and even hurt.....and also push one into a place where one might feel the need to defend, justify, explain oneself and one's choices etc etc......
Really tiring and quite unnecessary on both sides......
I can eat some lightly cooked food but I do need high raw....so it could end up being such a bother for my hosts, cause them anxiety and make them worry if they are being good hosts and feeding me the things I need to eat etc etc.....
My healing journey is not over yet.....certainly, I have healed to a large extent, I feel really good inside and out.....and yet, this is a new space for me, I sense that it is still a fragile subtle balance, one that needs a lot of respect and care.....
I have no desire to put myself or my friends and family through any difficult situations related to my nourishment and my healing.......
Thus, taking distance and standing at this point looking towards the near future - the best thing I can do for myself and my hosts - is to simply go on liquids again......
and so, I will begin liquid feasting from tomorrow.....a kind of modified juice feast.......
It will be much easier to say that I am healing and following a different protocol - so I don't eat but only drink - juices, shakes, elixirs and soups, all green.....all made in my Vita-mix that I will be carrying with me everywhere I go......
Then its only a question of getting my greens and veggies every other day - find a vegetable market, organic as much as possible, and buy my produce......carry some nuts, hemp, green powders, flax oil, etc - or find some wherever I am.......
Make it simple, make it juicy, make it flowing, make it alkaline, make it nutrient dense and prana-rich......
And take responsibility, take care of myself and do what needs to be done.....
I have been thinking and feeling a little apprehensive about the weeks ahead and now I feel at peace........
Once I have my own place, our new home, then its going to be such fun - to experiment with converting local and traditional Indian food into raw - and to continue being the change I want to see around.......
For now, green liquids it is, and they will do me just fine.....
Another journey begins, another chapter is being written, how exciting :-)

Amazing! Your choice makes a lot of sense. I think you would come to this anyway soon enough in the aftermath of your first cooked meal--after such an intense cleanse, I can imagine it wouldn't go down so well. This way you can control your intake and not undo what you have already invested so much in. Bravo on this decision.
In the meantime I will wait patiently for the details on your raw Indian inspirations...May is not so far away afterall...I may have to get a head start and start my own experimentation. : )
much love,

Hallo dear Neeta!
How the path doth twist and turn, as deftly as Ganapati's trunk, seeking his sweets. Back into the waters for you! I love it. I think it is a very clever and simultaneously respectful solution to the tricky question of food choices and hospitality. You are one smart lady!
Thanks so much for your beautiful words post-Valentine's....
Love to you, more each day.
Carrie
Neeta,
Your posts are a real blessing, it gives me such joy that you are still connected to this juicy journey we share. Juicing does sound like a very wise decision to this little dilemma. I will be happy to send you a list of juice bars in Paris if ever you need a fix while you are out. I can not wait to hear how this adventure unfolds for you - it is so inspiring to see you following your instincts in pursuing your journey. I am toying with breaking my feast in India right now, so I shall keep you informed. And for raw Indian food, I am sure there's a lot of people who would relish such recipes. So grateful for you sweet, gentle and insightful words. Love and Light, Poppy x
Wow! This is so exciting! I wish you all the best and do hope you keep blogging! I'd love to see these tasty raw indian recipes you're going to come up with (after I'm done juice feasting of course... I don't want to start craving yummy raw curries... oops! too late!) hehe! :)
Bonsoir de Paris,
Oh la la la la, how I love this city, it is really beautiful - la belle ville, j'adore :-)
A soup tonight and feeling very good.....
I have a wifi in the house here, so no problems keeping in touch with everyone and posting....I'll try and post some pics too!
Poppy, would love to have a list of juice bars here, and if you want to meet for a juice in one of them, let me know :-)
B and Carrie, thinking of you both, love love and love.....
Ben, salut, je sais que tu aimes Paris, alors je t'envoie des belles pensees d'ici, et du beau soliel......
