Day 50 of Juice Feasting - Getting back on the horse

Woke up this morning to mist rising off frost covered fields ... beautiful!  And to Source gently wispering in my mind, that mastering our challenges is like learning to ride a horse:  you get thrown, you get back on, you get thrown, you get back on ... as soon as possible ... until you learn to master your horse called Life, until you anticipate your horse's every move, your challenges, and until your horse and you form a symbiotic relationship, and the challenges disappear.  

When I was learning to ride horses, many years ago, I once got thrown 10 times in the course of one hour... and got back on.  I'm mastering "getting back on" as quickly as possible, I'm still planning to get back on, no matter what the challenge is!  

I'm actually working to eliminate challenges all together, so that life flows with ease and grace... (and food related emotions are no longer an issue!) ;o)

I went to a sacred fire ceremony early this morning.  It was a wonderful ceremony, with sharing and drumming, and the inauguration of four new drums.  As I was listening to people sharing from their lives, I was struck with the fact that even with the challenge I feel I am deeply struggling with right now, which is my "food addiction" I have still maintained a detached attitude towards it.  I see it, I sometimes get swept by it, but get back up, connect to Source, transform it, and have faith that sooner or later I will stand up in my power no matter what.  I noticed that my heart is more open, more loving, more compassionate towards those who are identifying with and being engulfed by their own challenges.

I stayed until the beginning of the brunch, as it was time for me to head back home (perfect timing) for a phone session with a wonderful lady in France, who has had many sessions with me, and who all of a sudden, wanted to start transforming... her relationship with food!  I love how the universe works to support me in my path.  As I was helping her, I found a couple of things for me to transform as well.

I just had a wonderful transformative session with my friend Paula. The shift that happens in those sessions boggles my mind when it happens to me.  I take it for granted when it happens in my clients, but when it is an issue that I am deeply struggling with, such as food addiction, I feel soooo grateful that yet another layer of "mind stuff" is lifted off me.  As the layers peel off, I know that I will get to the other side of this, that soon enough, I will get to the stage when I am no longer engulfed in the compulsion to eat, and will be able to detach from it, not engage in it, and then the final stage will come up to be mastered, the stage when food will no longer be an addiction for me.

And now, since it is a beautiful sunny day, I'm off to a horseback ride on my favorite four legged friend.

All my love!

Update: It's 1:30 am, I learned a few hours ago that one of the person I loved the most has been shot ... and I'm unexpectedly hitching a ride down to New Jersey and New York City, where I used to live, in a few hours.  My heart is sunken in, my throat is tight, tears are threatening, I feel sick to my stomach, but I'm still riding my "horse".

Sharing my love with all of you.
