Journey of Wholeness

I know my blog title says "Journey Into The Raw," but it should say journey to wholeness because going raw is connected with many parts of the evolving human being. I first had to make the decision to go raw and I had to change my mindset before I even began to eat raw and I started walking barefoot for wholeness before I even made the choice to go raw. It's been a process....

Since changing my mindset and my diet, I've been able to listen to my body and actually understand it's messages more clearly than ever and even though it's only been two days I can see that a wholesome living diet is only part of the journey of wholeness. None the less it's an extremely important part of wholeness and I love food, so blogging about my raw journey should be a pleasure.

I guess one of the reasons why I do anything public and evolutionary is to show others that it is possible. We all experience the same battles at one point or another (and collectively) but triumph is inevitable with love.

I am going to start by posting a couple of my journal entries from the this month. As a documentation of my process into raw foods and wholeness. I will be posting once a week from here on out.

Love. Thank you for bringing me to higher states of being. I'm begining to love myself on a whole new level. When I am able to look at my body as a temple I begin to love it a lot more because of the realization that it contains God. Words that have been said by many, in many ways, but it's true that to actually understand the concept that our bodies are temples that hold Spirit, one must experience the realization for themselves at their own time.

Self control. Discipline. Or GOLD?
Gratitude, Obideience, loyalty, devotion. Everything in life is easier to me when it's GOLD. Will attracting and eating raw foods be about discipline or GOLD to me? It's so much easier when I know that I am doing it for Source. I love my creator just as much as my creator loves me. Unconditionally, and unending. There fore I must love myself in that way as well.

I want to go raw. In my highest desire 100% raw but it seems psychotic in the society we live in today. Inside, I feel it's the right thing to do for myself. It just makes sense to eat living foods and a part of me even feels that it's useless to eat anything else.

Ok but I've been wanting to go raw for a few YEARS already. It has all made sense to me for a long time but I always fell back to the "addiction" of cooked foods. My weaknesses? Pizza, Nachos with real melted cheese... But everything really, eggs, cereal, bread. I can tell when I'm addicted to these foods when there is really no raw intake at all and when I'm hungry I almost always choose something cooked.

So for starters I'm going to use Spirulina Pacifica as a help to make sure I'm nourished while 1. Cleansing from cooked food and preservative cravings, and 2. Submersing myself more into a wholesome raw food diet. I can honestly say that doing this (taking spirulina)  will be giving me way more nutrition than I'm getting now eating 3 random cooked meals a day.

My first and hopefully only strategy is change my mentality 100% now to "I eat only living and nutritious food." And also "my diet is 100% wholesome." I feel if I have these mind sets, every time it is time to eat, I will choose nutritious wholesome food. It's a lot better than choosing to focus on anything upstream.

I do feel that it will be a weining or gradual process but I hope to always do my best. I will turn to my journal for introspection as I go through my transition. I hope my cleansing is easy on all levels. I think on some level I'm still afraid of my highest creative potential and it scares me to go raw and unlock that new level of energy, vitality and wholeness into my experience.

As far as my raw calibration goes.. yesterday was my first whole day of 90% raw. I had a few wheat crackers that weren't raw and some nuts that were roasted, but I feel confident in saying it has been a major improvement, and it was nutritious, and I'm very happy that I made it through a day of a wholesome diet.  I think I should stop focusing on the word "raw" right now and focus more on the word "wholesome" for awhile to take some of the pressure off about having strict raw diet rules. The reason why I want to go "raw" is to incorporate wholeness into my experience, so that is what I will focus on more until I effortlessly transition deeper and deeper into the raw food lifestyle.

It is my 3rd day eating living foods. I feel I've become very relaxed and trusting. I've learned to focus more on the now, yeah my mind has been full and racing so I feel like I'm constantly bringing myself back to the now, but the more that I do it, the more relaxed I feel. I feel there's always a 'to do' list running in my head, even if the list is a lot of fun things I'm still learning to live in the now so I can fully enjoy everything I do. All of my experiences. My energy levels and vitality are sky rocketing, and my inner voice, my truth seems to be coming through to me more clearly since I changed my diet, and its my only third day.
