Day 18 of Juice Feasting - where does the time go?

mmm, it's after 11pm and I've just finished my third emergency healing session of the day.  It's a bit unusual to say the least.  And a bit late.  They come in waves, just like people at the checkout counter.  Have you ever noticed that people in the supermarket rush to the checkout all at the same time?  The trick is to time your exit in between the waves, instead of reacting to the communal thought pattern.

One lesson learned today:  not enough greens in my juices makes me want to quit the juice feast.  My body feels unsettled, and I get resentful.  I compensated by licking kelp powder... and salt.  That's probably not on the program ;o)

So I made another big batch of kale/cabbage/red cabbage "body ecology" fermented veggies.  I'm getting quite fast at making those:  chop chop chop, stick in the food processor with the blade, reduce to very small chunks, dump in large bowl, repeat procedure.  (shred instead if you are not planning to juice them) Grab a jar of already fermented veggies, blend with water, and dump in bowl.  Roll up sleeves, and mix with hands.  (that's the fun part)  Grab gallon glass container, dump fistfuls of the mixture in the container, until about 3/4 full.  Thump down with fist.  Add water if necessary so that water is just above veggies.  Rinse outside of container and hands.  Clean inside rim and container down to the veggies level, with clean finger.  Take a few reserved cabbage leaves and rolls them up, laying them down on top of the fermented veggies, in order to provide an air seal.  I also put some plastic film on top, to keep fruit flies out.  Stick container in large bowl, in case the fermentation bubbles up over the top of the container.  Leave out to ferment for a few days - depending on the weather.  The warmer it is, the faster it ferments.  When ready, transfer to small jars and stick in fridge.  

I juice about 1/2 a quart/liter jar of fermented veggies a day.  It is sour and delicious, and filled with good probiotics who crowd out candida.  I've also made coconut water kefir, and will let you know how it turns out tomorrow.

My attitude towards the fermented veggies reflect my attitude towards the cleanse.  The first few cleanses I ever did, I was so regimented about the timing of everything that it was quite stressful.  I had a sheet of paper, provided by the Arise and Shine cleanse, on which I recorded the time I took all the supplements, juices, cleansing products etc...  I'd be all worried if I took the pills 1/2 hour late.  

Now... well, let's just say that I am waaaayyy more relaxed about the whole thing.  I do what I need to do, juice when I can, sometimes in between sessions if I didn't have time to do everything in the morning, and I do not stress out if I forgot one part of the process on any given day.  

And on that note, it's past 11:30pm and I'm just about to forget the most important part of the cleanse:  rest!

Good night!
