60 Day Juice Fast and Coffee Enema Day 12

Mary here…Very interesting day for me. Again, for the second time since beginning this juice fast I could not sleep last night. Maybe it was the grapefruit juice? I laid in bed, not sleeping, until about 4am! But what was interesting was that I was not nervous. I calmly, could not sleep! I was relaxed but awake. Christine suggested that we drink the fruitier drinks earlier in the day, and end our days with the green drinks, this way we are taking in the natural sugars from the fruits earlier….Sounds like a plan to me.

I had an appointment today with my chiropractor, Dr. Stan Henderson. Dr. Stan is a third-generation chiropractor and licensed Pettibon System practitioner. The Pettibon System, www.pettibonsystem.com,  is a comprehensive rehabilitation program for the spine’s hard and soft tissues. It uses x-rays for diagnosis, assessing progress, and proof of treatment effectiveness. It tests each patient’s ability to respond to care, and trains patients in home-care for faster correction. This is not about ‘snap, crackle and pop’, as the traditional chiropractic systems have been working. This is a way to restore your spine to its normal state, the one you came into this world with! And Dr. Stan is a wonderful doctor and friend. I have been feeling much more solid and powerful since integrating this system into my life. It’s also another way to become involved in my healing, since part of Pettibon involves home exercises for the spine. Whenever I have back issues, resulting from sitting at the computer too long, I do my exercises, and the discomfort or pain immediately subsides.

I’m off to bed now..after I upload Christine’s video blog of the day..I so hope I can get a good solid night’s rest!

Christine here…Well it’s 12:15AM and I’m still up so I decided to write a little something. I was having the strangest realization today that, while I want to eat, I don’t really need to eat because I’m getting super nutrition from the juices and I’m drinking lots of water, yet I still want to eat. It’s like a reflex…I have an emotion, I put something in my mouth. I’m feeling kind of lost not being able to just eat something yummy and feel that satisfied feeling in my stomach and the emotional comfort of having a full belly. Instead, I’ve been very calm and peaceful and my stomach feels light and I feel light. I’m beginning to see how it’s possible to move through my emotions instead of “stuffing” them. To explore what I’m feeling and move my thoughts to something positive and uplifting. It’s actually quite easy. Yesterday I felt some sadness when I woke up, not sure why, and there was no bowl of oatmeal with walnuts and maple syrup to soothe the feeling. There was just me, and guess what? I felt the feeling and stayed calm, directed my thoughts and the feeling dissipated. It’s the Law of Attraction in action. Amazing! No wonder all the spiritual gurus and enlightened masters fast. There’s a very subtle energy building…becoming familiar with just being, and I’m here to tell you it’s quite nice. Now it’s time for sleep…good night!
