A group focused on Juice Fasting. A place to support each other by swapping tips, sharing experiences, posting pictures, telling stories, and just plain expressing yourself! And anything else to help make juice fasting possible and fun!

Thanks for the tip on
drinking plenty of water...
reading an inspirational book...
making music...
flushing..., seasofzen.
Happy to see the group!
thanks for sharing.
Are you keeping a journal of your fast? I think I'll try to jot down: when I'm hungry, what I want to eat, how long it takes for that feeling to subside... I think it'll show me when I'm eating for reasons other than nourishing my body.

- Favorite Quote:
- If we do not rise to the challenge of our unique capacity to shape our lives, to seek the kinds of growth that we find individually fulfilling, then we can have no security; we will live in a world of sham in which our selves are determined by the will of others, in which we will be constantly buffeted and increasingly isolated by the changes round us. ~Nena O'Neil

80/10/10 in Santa Cruz
I moved to Santa Cruz, CA instead of Paradise! I missed the ocean and my nearest and dearest too much. I'm hoping to connect with other raw foodies in the area some time after I've settled down. And hopefully when things stabilize, I will be going back to school. But for now, it's focusing on getting situated.
I'm currently working my way to an 80/10/10 diet in order to treat Crohn's Disease. I've tried other ways of eating raw and just have not been successful, so I thought I would give this o… Continue

Looking for a New Beginning
It turns out that I will need to be finding a new place to settle for a while. Circumstances have taken a turn for the overwhelming, and I keep getting messages telling me it's time to be on my own for a bit. Essentially, I've been without a room of my own for nearly 2 years, and I am an introvert. I have bigger space needs than most anyone I know, and I find that the need is so enormous, that other needs start taking a backseat to it, the longer I go without it. And the longer I go, the more di… Continue

Raw Asian Food Porn
I had a bit of an Asian inspiration the last few days, and the raw dishes were so sexy, I just had to share.
Vegetable Nori Rolls with Almond Pates
Almond pates reminicent of tuna and salmon are accompanied by broccoli sprouts, red and golden bell peppers, carrot slices, cucumber ribbons, avocado, and cilantro, rolled in sheets of nori. It's been about a year since I made these… Continue

Cancer, closer
My Aunt has been diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma: cancer of the blood which is in her bones, several tumors along her spine and neck, and a stage 4 cancer tumor on her lung. The doctors have given her one year to a year and a half to live, two years maximum.
I went to the hosptial on Friday to see her. I haven't seen her for several years, since right before my own several-year-long healing crisis, (which I am still addressing, but am largely on the other side of). I went with my mother, to hol… Continue

Green Smoothies
I've just started drinking Green Smoothies again, while also reading Green For Life by Victoria Boutenko. The book is a great read, and I have to say that I feel this has been the missing link in my cuisine for the last year. When I first went raw, I drank a quart of these a day, and was doing great. But I did not have the book, so I did not realize the importance of rotating one's greens, as is mentioned several times throughout. I started having a very hard time and eventually, just as Victori… Continue

Asmuandra said… - YOU are a gift of Light ~ wow... It is a supreme honor, sweet angel. I'm working on some raw recipes this week. We are going to a conference in LA on Thursday - Quantum Leap 2012- and will be back on Monday. So, I'd love to meet up soon and upload your energy through loving osmosis. :-)

Sun Light said… - Leisure. I visited Rio during carnival, Brasilia, John of God, Chapada dos Veadeiros, Amazon, Belem, Jericoacoara, Sao Louis, Fortaleza, Natal, Pippa, Salvador and many other places over 3-4 months. I saved Bahia for last and I shouldn't have because I got a contract job in NYC and had to leave quickly. I never did Bahia. What part of Brazil are you or your family from? I've been thinking about taking some forro classes.

- I've had acai drinks and bowls hundreds of times in Brazil and NYC but I've never worked with the powder. I think I'll have to buy some. This looks good.

- I just made up a recipe. I'm not sure I'll make it again. Too addictive. Goji Bliss balls are a favorite too
1 c cacao powder, 130 grams cacao butter (or just add until creamy chocolate is formed), ½ c almonds, dried figs or dried cherries, 1 T coconut butter(optional), 4 T agave, 1 T mesquite powder, ½ t lucuma(optional), ¼ c almond or macadamia butter(optional), 1 t cinnamon, 1 T vanilla extract, 1/8 t salt Mix nuts, figs and cherries to desired consistency in food processor, set aside. Mix remaining ingredients in food processor,
Add nuts, cherries and figs and blend briefly. Freeze in same container for a few hours. Process again briefly and form balls. The nut butter makes it more like milk chocolate.

It is also wonderful to know that you are a raw chef plus a singer and song writer. INCREDIBLE. I would love to listen to your music. What kind are you into making? Can we hear them somewhere online?

- Hello angel ~ Okay, I just heard from the goddess I'm moving with and we're now looking for a place in the area that is a halfway point from Silicon Valley to the coast. I believe she mentioned Oakland Hills. We are open, as we are looking for the PERFECT spot for growing fruits, vegetables, and having some animals. We are creating our magical and divine FAIRYLAND.
I dance in joy, as I anticipate connecting with you on the physical plane. I'll be arriving on Thursday sometime, and I know the weekend is full of establishing foundation for expansion. Are there any fun and stimulating events you plan on attending in the next week or two? Let me know. maybe I will join you. :-)
Keep shining BRIGHT, gorgeous Light ~ *Besos*

Congrats, bro.
A friend of mine has had issues with her parents since childhood, she tried everything including numerous counseling sessions, hypnosis etc etc. She then did a two day intensive program called ‘the breakthrough experience’ and now she’s a changed ...
I think most people want to do this because they need attention, not because it really turns them on... maybe different for the people watching? personally don't want any more secreted bodily fluids to avoid in the city.. isn't there enough piss e...
yes she is :)
wow THANK YOU!!!!
Full disclosure - I work as a therapist.
Yes, it helps.
But you should know that the value of it can't be described by the speed of the healing process or whether you're looking or seeming perfect. Therapy is about coming to terms and coming back...
I always used to get sick on foods from restaurants, but the same meal I prepared at home wouldn't make me sick.... restaurants tend to drown foods in butter and oils, you've probably been eating less of those since going on those diet.
No problem at all. We're all here to support each other in our journeys. :D
with a manual camera I used a slow shutter speed (1/5) and kept my head moving side to side. i used Photoshop to get the contrast and color look.
thanks -- it makes me really enjoy being sick!
respect,yb.
Finally reconciled with my mother two years before she split the scene at the age of 95. Load off my mind.
She was tough, tough, tough, tough.
Jewish mother nagging shit, non-fucking-stop. Always fresh to her, always Hell to me.
Ha-Ha-Ha! Yah, womyn!! Glad ya said somethin
Ohh nice! Yea, they're addicting as hell. If it wasn't for the price I would look like the Berlin Wall by now.
Wow that's got to be tough. I think I would set myself on fire if I had to live with or near either one of my parents. I'm going to try to keep distance from them & keep a diary. Thank you for the support RGG
It hasn't faded any yet, but I've only heard of problems with some of the phosphorus inks and ours don't have any in. But who knows, the approved UV inks have only been out a few years and they're more expensive so not a lot of people take the opt...
Wow, I'd pay to see that
