To India today.......

12:40 am Saturday

Right now, right here - I feel bubbles of joy and sparkles of bright light filling me up. I can almost feel the caress of hot sunshine on my body. There is a wide wide grin on my face that feels kind of stuck there. I feel silly and very happy. 

One night to sleep and then I'm off to India........

And even though I had thought I wouldn't, I am coming back here in three weeks.....will be in London for a few days, a couple of days in Paris and then back to India again with a one way ticket......

These last few days have really shown me the futility of being attached in any way to my plans, desires, goals, decisions......

The Uni-verse is teaching me, gently yet firmly - to hold everything lightly, not tightly......to let it all flow through, no clinging, no grasping.......

Ah, the feeling of being free even from the very concept of freedom........this is a taste of tender melting bliss :-)

Yesterday, I had my usual quart and a half of green juice for breakfast. And then, for the first time since breaking my juice feast, I went on purpose and ate a cooked Indian vegan meal, in the Indian area around London. 

It was a lunch buffet with a large variety of cooked vegetables, dals, three kinds of rice, fried breads and fritters, etc.......

I wanted to drown myself in the Indian tastes and see how that felt before I went to India......

I couldn't finish a quarter of my plate, a few bites and it was more than enough! 

Empty and very old world......

For the rest of the day, it was only green juices and alkaline water with green powder......

Useful experience, at the right time - much needed before I land in my country and find myself surrounded with emotional and nostalgic triggers.......

I used to be so addicted to sugar and anything sweet - now after months of colonics and green juices, sweets have completely lost their hold on me - in fact, dehydrated or sweet foods now feel too dense and heavy to me - a once in a blue moon stuff to eat......

But right now, I have both crackers and cookies in my dehydrator, they are in for the night.....and I'm feeling quite pleased about taking them with me to India, occasional traveling food and also to share them with my family there.....

So it is crackers made with freshly ground flax seeds, almond meal, a sprinkling of pumpkin seeds, finely chopped shallots, cayenne pepper, himalayan pink salt and french provencial herbs......

And the cookies are done with pecan and almond ground in the food processor, then mixed with half a banana, coconut flakes, cinnamon, dried ginger powder, a pinch of salt, a big pinch of green stevia, some maca and some green powder too........

I just used whatever I had at home - following no recipe or measurements, just throwing things together - no idea what the result will be, but the smells wafting in from the kitchen are quite divine :-)

It is past one in the morning and I had better get some sleep.......

I am deeply grateful to all of you, this circle of new friends, these connections so precious......this sharing of love and opening of hearts, dancing our own unique steps to similar songs, helping, encouraging, being present and truly giving......

Thank you so much.....

Global juice feast begins today, so all my best wishes to David and Katrina, and to everyone who begins juicing now, Happy Feasting......

Will post whenever and from wherever I can in India........

Much Much love to you all,

Joyous Juicing and Merry Munching :-)
