The Green Yogi

Clarity - Day 8 Green Juice Feast

Today I really noticed a change in clarity.  My mind especially felt very clear, focused, and my recall was just there.  I taught a yoga class tonight, and previous sayings for better pose understanding that I remember my teachers saying that I particularly liked just came out of me.  I hadn't recalled them before.  New explanations about the poses or how the pose affected the body just came out of me as well.  I didn't have to think about it, they just came.  My eyes are starting to clear (become a clearer shade of green) again as they did last summer when I did a Spiritual Fast at the Tree of Life with Gabriel Cousens.

I am also becoming more aware and present.  I could also feel that tonight especially during teaching my yoga class, I was very aware of the separate parts of my body as well as the core of my being in a more profound way.  While saying the guided awareness to my students, it was more meditative to me than ever before.  I believe this is also why new ways of presenting the poses just came out of me without thinking.  Awareness brings clarity.  Clarity brings awareness.

My energy felt very high and light in my core today.  I feel just wonderful, and I love this green juice feast.

Today's organic juices:

2 Q:  2 cucumbers, 1 head of celery, 1 bunch of spinich, 1 package of pea sprouts.  I was going for the sweet taste of peas, and I achieved it. Tastes like spring. 

Tip:  try sprouts in your juices.  If you love the taste of sprouts, buy a container and put the entire container into your juice.  Enzymes galore!  Better yet, grow your own sprouts and juice them as well!

2 Q:  1 cucumber, 1 head of celery, 1 head of bokchoy, 1 large handful of green beans,1 bunch collards.  I loved the green bean juice that I made the other day.  I was trying a different take on it.  I think a red pepper added to this juice would have made it just a bit more tasty.  The bok choy overpowered the green beans just a bit.  I added a bit of cayenne and granulated kelp. 

Hope for A New World

Presently, I teach high school math in a boarding school.  One of my students came by tonight for extra help, and I had just finished my latest green juice creation and was cleaning up the juicer while drinking my juice.  So, I asked her to wait while I cleaned up the juicer.  She was extremely interested in the bright green juice, and wanted to try it!  I was pleasantly surprised.  I gave her a small glass, wondering...  She loved the juice, said it tasted like celery, and pictured sipping it with a straw outside on the patio.  I told her about juice feasting, and she sincerely said, "That's so interesting!"  I know her interest is piqued, and she said she'll be looking for fresh juices over the summer.

Green Juice Feasting Day 6:

Today's organic low-glycemic juices:

20 minute green:  1 Q:  1 celery, 1 cucumber, 1 container of prewashed romaine, 1/2 bunch of parsley.  I really made this in 20 minutes from start to finish including cleanup. 

Tip:  Have prewashed organic salad greens on hand for a speedy juice when you're pressed for time!

Fennel ginger:  Almost 2 Q:  1 bunch celery, 1 cucumber, 1 large head of romaine, 1 bulb of fennel, 1" slice of ginger, 1 bunch of kale.  This is the juice that the student loved.  It is my best creation to date.  No fruit, tastes fantastic!

Green Juice Feasting Day 4

This week I decided to start a juice feast.  A green juice feast.  Today, on day 4, I was full of energy and was on the go non-stop from 5 am onward. 

I make my juices with a Green Star juicer, but a Vitamix or any other juicer will work just fine.  See www.juicefeasting.com for a complete description of how to juice feast in general.  I am specifically feasting on green juices only.  More to come about the why's and how's of green juice feasting soon...

Today's organic green juices:

1 Q:  1 cucumber, 1 head of celery, 1 head of dinosaur kale, 1/2 lemon.  (tasty, but strong green flavor)  Fast juice to make... 

1 1/2 Q: 1 cucumber, 1 head of celery,  large handful of green beans, 1/2 bunch of cilantro, 1 bunch kale.   Delicious if you love green beans!

1 Q: 1 bunch celery, 1 cucumber and 1/2 bunch kale.  Light and refreshing!
