Day 11 Juice Feast: Awareness and Love in the Food

[Janet Doane]

As I washed the produce I asked for it’s wisdom. I held the chopped veggies in my hands before juicing, saying, asking, "please share with me your wisdom, teach me what you know."

Celery/apple/lemon:  I saw a brightness and happiness, and much light. I heard, "We are joy. We are love. Fear not."

Chard/lettuce: I saw deep into the earth and felt this too. Then I heard, "We go deep into the bones. We are filled with minerals to make you strong."

With my hands over food, it felt sacred. My heart whispered, "Thank you. I bless thee." And on drinking the juice: "There is goodness in what you do."

To feel the intelligence, purpose, and love in the veggies, greens, and fruits, how easily they give themselves to me, has been one of the greatest gifts of the fast. Also the abundance, of being able to make so much juice, day after day. It affects me on a deep, spiritual level.

Has anyone else had the experience of perceiving the wisdom in the food?

Hi Alessandra.... I love what you wrote here because I too talk to nature... it is one of life's great pleasures, the communing. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and I'm happy to know you'll be talking to your food too!

[Alessandra]

lovely post.....I should talk to my food more...I do talk to trees, the sky, the moon, rocks, plants, etc.....I will now start loving and appreciating my food and telling it so!  thank you!

Hi Maureen... yes, I agree, it is our gentler, more intrinsic nature that tunes us in with the energies in living food. Intuition for me plays a big role too. The more attention I can give to the food itself as I prepare it, and then move into inner listening/sensing/feeling, the more I can experience coming from the food. It's subtle, and very beautiful.

Hi Heather... I think you are so insightful, about how we are affected more than we may ever know - so glad you popped in to let me know. Yes, healing day by day. This is what I'm feeling from the juice feast. Love and light to you too!

Hello everyone -lovely energy here. It's also a lovely thought to express appreciation and gratitude in a more conscious way as you prepare and consume food. I will keep this with me in my journey too. It's getting in touch with our gentler more intrinsic nature that makes raw food, juicing etc so rewarding. Cheers

Hi Janet - how wonderful about our name... thank you so much for sharing this with me.

And, that you resonated with what I wrote - I'm so glad you took the time to share with me your awareness with food preparation. It's all so amazing to me, and this is exactly what my experience has been.

I often say "thank you watermelon", or "thank you greens", (or whatever it is I'm eating), and I feel the energy go up a level.

As I write, I'm drinking green juice: romaine, celery, with some apple, and lemon - very tasty. Day 12 on the fast!

oooh - just saw that we are both named Janet! Hi sister! Did you know that Janet means "God's Gracious Gift" ? and so it is!

what a gorgeous contribution to our consciousness of the bountiful gifts that flow from our vital living foods.

I often talk to my plants and vocally praise my food, I believe that when we do this more of the essences comes forth and it is happy to join with our energy and to be consumed - transmuted and made available to us for our highest good - YES!
