Uplifted

[Riiiya]

i was not sure if this is worth starting a new thread but i wanted to share this so much!

... i'm at work...9:30 am..overslept today :) and...

I am feeling SO UPLIFTED. I Could basically FLOAT in the air, i'm so clear-minded, energetic and feeling absolutely AMAZING!!! This morning my breakfast consisted of young coconut milk (sipped it in the car :D), 3 homemade raw cashew cookies (MMM) and several figs and a tablespoon of chia seeds....... NO WONDER I FEEL LIKE THIS IS THE BEST MORNING EVER!!!

i've been feeling sluggish and bloated for a bit, but i did not give up..i felt like things will get better, i just have to stick to it..... then i started consuming some chia seeds and things got amazingly better

THE POWER OF RAW FOODS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!! YEAAA

I've been feeling the same way for the last few days. I've attributed it to being in the sunshine, working on my garden! I just can't stop smiling!

[Riiiya]

yes the sunshine definitely makes a difference i think :D

Well, first i found them at Maijer (they appear there from time to time) for about $2... then i discovered a small asian store in a town nearby called sari-sari..my boyfriend wanted to get some seaweed and i saw young coconuts there for $1.30 and i keep bying mine there all the time. There is a city about an hour away that has sooo many asian stores too -they all carry young coconuts (usually somewhere in an obscure place in the fridge) it's amazing, but that's too long of a drive for me :/

So i'd say- check googlemaps or something like that to see if you have any asian stores around you :)

How do you tell the difference between young and mature coconuts? I heard the mature ones aren't healthy raw... Saw them at the market today and I want to buy but unsure if I should.

Thanks!

Young ones just look like this:

i don't know about mature ones being "not good" but young ones seem so much more...."living" to me and their water is completely amazing!

I thought I'd add a post script. I was euphorically happy Monday through Thursday then Friday was just a mostly calm, happy day. By the late afternoon though, I felt really sad and achey inside. Like all kinds of old feelings needed to pass through. So I tried to let it flow and felt better after. Today I'm calm and not sad, just really really tired.
Someone told me a while ago that when you go through a detox "pocket" you'll look back and realize that you've been feeling better than you ever have in the past while. It's like your body won't go to a new level of cleansing until you are strong enough.
Anyway, just thought I'd share so that if you have a down day in the next while, you won't be alarmed. Enjoy the process!:)
