Tumblr replies/messages aren’t long enough! This goes out to sufigeek who requests an insight into weight loss and focus [although focus may have to wait, this post is already too long!]. I’ve lived a very active life, although I have had periods where I let myself go a little overeating and drinking too much. It is hard for me to understand what it’s like for people that...

The Solar System set to music: via Brainpickings →

bhaktiandbreakdance: Daniel Starr-Tambor’s Mandala — a remarkably dimensional musical composition created by assigning each planet in the Solar System a particular note along the natural harmonic series, starting with Mercury’s B and going all the way up by two octaves and a ninth to Pluto’s C#. The composition is a palindrome, which means it can be played the same way in either direction,...

Perfect Yoga Body? Not a Chance. →

storyofacollegeyogi: Alanna Kaivalya responds to the Equinox vid, as well as some assumptions our society has about what a yogi “should” be. Fave quotes: Yoga challenges us to see what’s right about our bodies rather than what is wrong. It asks us to be happy with what is rather than what needs to be changed. Yoga instills acceptance… in our large thighs, cellulite, wrinkles and tight...

mrfrustrationman replied to your photo: Where does all this junk come from? My mom told me how she tried one of these baths before. To me they are a total mystery (as to how/why they work, a bit skeptical ...

Juice Fast Day 4

… was probably my toughest day. At every mention of solid my eyes glazed over and I feel into a reverie of sorts. At one stage I even wondered if drinking Chia gel was cheating because the seeds were still crunchy. My colleagues tempted me with chocolate, but I wouldn’t be swayed. By the time I got home my stomach was not growling, more like gripping, at my insides. And then the smell...

Juice Fast Day 3

The metallic taste in my mouth has started to fade, the first three days I alternated between salt water gargling and tongue brushing to rid myself of the film. I imagine that my body is starting to deal with the toxins built up over the years as if it is coming in to contact with them for the first time. I’ve noticed my skin is a lot softer and more translucent, by belt is a lot tighter. I...

Juice Fast Day 2

After a shocking headache yesterday, punctuated by episodes of low blood sugar my body is starting to equilibrate and tax more of my fat stores (probably some muscle mass also). I’ve found that juices can be quite filling, the banana smoothie is probably the closest thing that comes to something solid. The greens are really what I’m after, kale, silverbeet, celery and cucumber with a...

Juice Fast Ahead

This week I’m taking on a 7 day Green Buzz juice fast from Adina Niemerow’s Super Cleanse. I’ve been staying away from the computer and getting plenty of rest to prepare for what should be a pretty interesting week. I’ll probably be exploring some of the insights I gain from the experience here. This morning’s juice was the Green Gandhi. Kale, cucumber, lettuce,...
