whole, connected and free

I am feeling very spiritually alive. Perhaps it is because of all the carrot and beet juice I've been drinking. Either way I feel whole, connected and free.

I'm learning so much it feels like my headspace is stretched open with all these new pathways of information; in my minds eye it looks like webs of all things that make sense and fit together. All through my life I was a bit educationally withdrawn and learning things in school didn't always come easy because I was often so uninterested and hated being forced to learn things that did not apply to me. In absolute contrast I am now absorbing so fluidly the concepts and information that I am eager to understand and so strongly interested in and passionate about. Everything makes sense.

Though so much in life never makes sense... there are many uncomfortably baffling things on my mind these days but now is not the time to discuss.

Yesterday in class we meditated and observed our energy fields and I am very excited to learn different techniques pertaining to energy work. Oh, the Universe! How I love the powerful force that it is!

Fall, Energy & Magical Lettuce

I LOVE FALL!


It is the ULTIMATE season of flow and peace and it is delicate and calm and elegant. I went to the farmers market the other day and I got a big head of un-poisoned romaine lettuce and I ate that thing. I ate it. It had a lady bug in a leaf and some other fuzzy green bugs that I let outside and although I felt moderately disgusted and apprehensive while I ate it, I deeply appreciated the life it embodied. Then I did some very liberating yoga. Seriously my body must have been a bound ball of elastic because when I stretched in all ways it was like releasing a dove into the sky. That is how beautiful it felt. Oh and then I danced like I was in a theatrical performance. And then I went for a walk under the sun in the chilly air and at work I was a ball of energy. I felt like I was on drugs.

I give credit to the lettuce. And the sunshine and the cool air and the season of fall because I love it so. The trees and colours still have much more to offer before all is white dust.

I am currently fascinated by intestines. That is what I am presently learning about.

Stretch

I feel so connected.

I have been doing lots of yoga and meditating these days and I am feeling so deeply connected to myself. Connected to the deep layers within me, the thorough awareness, radiating Oneness and vibrant aliveness that is found at the core of our Being. I can feel my creative juices loosening and my mind clearing. The feelings that stretching brings, when you raise your arms up and bend to the side; when you swan-dive downwards and feel the stretch and expansion along your back; when you can feel the equalization of muscle relaxation and emotional release. I sometimes find myself feeling emotional when I am centering myself into the state of pure inner awareness as I breathe deeply and stretch my body.

I know for absolute certainty that all the fresh, lively, energetic raw foods from the Earth that I have been eating have been electrifying my soul and lifting my consciousness up and beyond. I have been reaping the benefits of a state of ultra mental clarity and peace and love and wonder and contentment and basically, if you take all the beautiful things in the world like trees and air and daisies and a waterfall and you squash them together into a molded form of love and then turn it into an effervescent spirit of exuberance and then breathe it in deeply, that's how I feel.

MAN I feel GOOD! You know what I'm feeling right now?
LIFE FORCE!

High Vibes~

Hello hello hello hello hello hello hello!

Last night I posted a post, but for some reason it did not post. Except now it magically re-appeared...

Anyways... I feel GREAT today! I am having a marvelous, splendid, amazing day. Want to know why? Of course you do.

Firstly, as I had posted in this mysteriously non-existent/magically reappearing post from last night in which I just deleted (it's probably cursed because it is Friday the 13th), I have decided that I want to start getting up really early in the mornings. I read some tips on becoming an early riser and basically you should go to bed only when your body is tired, but wake up at the same time every single day. Even on the weekends. I decided I want to start getting up around 5-5:30am for a few reasons. I've really, really tenderly beautifully magnificently wanted to start getting back into my yoga practice. It has been a while I must say. The mornings yield a spectacular opportunity for peace and solitude, as it is such a quiescent time of day. Most everybody is asleep and all that is animated are the birds, rising sun, dew on the grass and crisp, sweet air. Mmmm. So I want to start getting up early to just Be. To just breathe and observe life as it unfolds in the morning, before the busyness begins. I want to go for walks while it is quiet outside and the sun is just beginning to shine on the Earth.

So today I actually did wake up, sit up and stretch at 5:00am. But then it was really dark outside and I didn't know what to do so I, not without mental conflict, fell back asleep until 6:40am. I was a bit disappointed but still happy because that is a lot earlier than usual! I'll work on it though. So that's one of the reasons why I'm in a good mood today.

Another reason why I feel excellent is because I have been eating ALL RAW for like two days! Oh yeah! That's what I'm talkin' bout! The photo I posted is my breakfast :) Sliced yellow mango, sliced banana, a handful of raisins, a drizzle of flaxseed oil, a sprinkle of organic shredded coconut, a spoonful of hemp seeds and a dash of cinnamon. It was extraordinary.

I'm also just feeling extremely connected to myself. In more ways than one. I lied down on my floor and drew and doodled a bit last night... I've really been feeling the lack of art in my life these days so that really lifted me up a bit. Plus this lovely yoga I've been doing more of and I just feel so contemplative and philosophical these days about the Universe and outer space and life and love and beauty and wonderfulness, especially since my brother and I took his ginormous telescope out the other night and viewed the big bright beautiful moon and little wee far away Saturn. Sometimes I envision myself, let's say, floating on a lost rock up in the mysterious, cold, pitch-black nothingness up there in space; gazing down at the Earth amongst the moon and stars. The thought comforts me somehow, in an eerie sort of way. We are little wee organisms floating and spinning in Nowhere Land! Free your mind and soul and spirit and just live! Break those invisible chains that govern us!

My insides feel so jubilant and effervescent are iridescent because I'm off for like an entire week and it's so warm out today and I feel so great and awesome and AHHH!

Love, Awe & Rain

~Looking up to the trees, sky and squirrels

Today is a marvelously beautiful day! I'm bursting with wonder and gratitude. I love rainy, cloudy, overcast, cool days. They fill my heart right up with awe. I can really feel my insides swollen with love for this dear planet. I went outside today and sat amongst the trees and mud, breathing in the life that radiates from the evergreens.

I simply feel like I am overflowing a bit with pure awe, wonder, admiration and just appreciation for being alive and living and breathing. Lately I've found myself noticing myself in this body I inhabit. Just noticing how I am a living organism. Observing myself from another viewpoint in my mind as I move around, this can be referred to as Inner Body Awareness, or as I sometimes call it and feel it as "seeing through glass". What shall I call this feeling? Glass-Seeing perhaps. I was also thinking the other day, as I was driving half-blinded by the sun, how every single living thing on the Earth requires the sun to survive. And I was thinking about how humans require it just as much, yet people overlook that. They identify it as just the title of the sun. Perhaps associating it with warmth and beaches and tanning. But it is Life Force! We are living organisms just as any other organism! We are One with it all! We are all the same!


Sending love, light, peace and vibrations to everyone in the world!

Life Force

I am drinking some green juice that I just freshly juiced with my juicer, and I want to talk about the Life Force.

All [raw] fruits and vegetables and herbs and sprouts are alive. They have life contained within them. When you consume them, you are invariably drinking in that life. Also known as the Life Force. When you drink in that life, you can feel it. You can feel the nutrients run through your blood.

They detoxify you and replenish you at a cellular level. They regenerate and rejuvenate, alkalize and purify. When most people eat they don't ever think twice about what occurs at a cellular level. Our cells know how we feel, what we think, what we consume. When we eat pure, nourishing foods that are intended to energize, awaken and provide true, natural health to us, our cells and everything contained inside of us benefit. You know this because you can feel it.

When your body is purified with whole, natural, particularly uncooked, unmodified or changed in any way foods, you are uplifted and enlightened and happy and connected with the Whole itself. You don't feel disconnected or dislodged from Source, that being yourself and the Universe. You're not weighed down with chemical, toxin-pumped modified foods that are depleted of all Life Force. You are One.

This post is becoming a wee bit more intense and spiritual than I intended, but how can I not get into the topics of the Universe and being connected when discussing foods are are essentially from the Universe itself? It's all interconnected in all ways. Who, what and where we are is all One, to say the least.

If you are lacking the feelings inside you that radiate Oneness, then I assure you if you just simply eat primarily, not necessarily entirely, but a lot of fruits, vegetables, herbs, sprouts, some nuts and seeds, you will begin to feel that connection with yourself and the Earth. It makes complete and utter sense.

Anyways. I just wanted to discuss the Life Force whilst drinking my Life Force-filled green juice.

Sending all who read this love, peace, joy and positive vibrations :)
