Fasting, Prayer, and Work Day 3

-
Had a great Day 3!!!! I really needed to be mindful to get my juices in because I was focusing mainly on infused waters today and feeling kinda lazy too. Upon rising I had 12 ounces of purified water. After my morning prayers I made 16 ounces of warm water with 1/8 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp ginger powder, 1/4 tsp of ground papaya seeds, and the juice of 1 lemon. The seeds from papaya fruit have anthelmintic and antiamoebic properties. This means they kill intestinal worms and other parasitic organisms in your digestive system. Consuming raw fruits and vegetables of course can be a source for parasites and an easy way for them to get into our digestive system.


Dried and Ground Papaya Seeds

Then I prepped a 50 ounce pitcher of cucumber, lemon, and basil infused water. I'll drink this tomorrow but today I added some of it to my green juice. 

Feeling totally amazing on Day 3 of my juice/water fast! Today some amazing things began to happen in my body. I'm definitely getting some deep interior cleansing done--if you know what I mean.
In case you don't know what I mean (teehee) it happened after my coffee enema today. Now I'm sure you get the point. I'm still doing dry skin brushing each day also to help unclog pores so more toxins can be released through my skin. 
This afternoon prior to noon Mass the boys and I reflected on the daily readings and video reflection. On the way to Mass I had a 12 ounce glass of chlorophyll water.

Before taking the boys to their tennis lesson I made a 32 ounce green juice with cucumber, ginger, lemon, sunflower greens and a splash of the infused water up above.

I took a 20 ounce jar of Apple Cinnamon infused water. The same recipe as yesterdays.
As I prepared the dinner for the family I sipped on 32 ounces of grapefruit beet juice.



My personal prayer time today involved reading from The Imitation of Christ. And last night I got too sleepy reading so today I finished John's gospel Chapters 17-19.


My body movement today was walking the neighborhood with hubby and our three youngest. After our walk I juiced these beautiful veggies. They yielded  24 ounces of goodness. 

+JMJ+ Today I am grateful for all of these delicious juices that I can feel nourishing my body.

Another Salad Dressing Post

-
Today I would like to share some really great raw salad dressings. Wait, aren't all salad dressings considered raw? No they are not. Remember, you have to be very careful about the ingredients you use. Raw salad dressings are as unprocessed as possible. Using ingredients that are as close as possible to their natural state. That is why I choose first cold pressed olive oils, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar and coconut vinegar, fresh herbs, vegetables and fruits. You get the picture. But keep in mind sometimes I will use a small amount of ingredients that may not be truly raw. For example, real maple syrup is heated to reduce the amount of water content and to make the syrup into what it is when we purchase it in jars. And I am pretty sure balsamic vinegar is not raw. I still love the taste sometimes in dressings so I don't mind using a tiny amount. I am not an extreme raw foodist . If I choose to eat something that is not raw I am fine with that. Keep it simple or ...

~ JMJ ~ I am happy to start posting on my new blog. I should introduce myself first. I am a wife and a mother of five children. I home school all of my children for religious and academic reasons. I choose to eat a raw living food diet. I love raw food and how this living food makes me feel. I have been eating raw living foods since November, 2009. My goal is to consume foods as close as possible to the way they appear in nature, the way God created them to be. Here I will share my experiences with the raw food lifestyle and great recipes I make/create each day. I will share raw food recipes, my sprouting adventures, square foot gardening and container gardening, favorite raw food book titles, raw food products, kitchen appliances, and tools that have helped me with food preparation. From time-to-time I just might share some homeschooling thoughts, experiences, ideas, and tips. I will also take time to reflect back on my days and find all the ways I can experience g...

Stung by a Scorpion

Each year we make it a point to travel up to our favorite spot in the mountains. Some times we even get up there twice in one year. We decided to plan a our trip during the week that we normally attend the Homeschooling Conference. This year I just didn't feel the need to go to the conference and preferred a relaxing week in the mountains instead. This is the new cabin we chose. It is in the same area that we always go but we wanted to try staying at a different cabin for some variety. The cabin was lovely and we loved the property. Our views were stunning.  Almost every night we enjoyed a blazing camp fire and even some glutenfree, vegan smores. We even could go on hikes right down the hill of the property we were renting. The kids had a blast exploring all that nature has to offer. We did many other fun things with the children to enjoy our time together. We took some of them horseback riding and the rest of us enjoyed following along in a c...
