This morning I woke up feeling exhausted. I also had a really oily face. I did not feel well at all. I chalk this up to some major cleansing going on internally. The glow of Days 7 and 8 are but memories. Ah well. Part of the process.
It's Day 9 and I'm so happy I'm almost done!
My stomach has been especially gurgly today. Some things are going on down there for sure. To try to get some relief from all my symptoms, I dry brushed my skin (to get my lymph moving) and took a really nice hot shower.
To keep myself distracted, I went to my local farmer's market where I bought white peaches and nectarines for my post fast easing out. I broke my fast with nectarines the last time and everything turned out well. I am not craving fruits at all, though. There was a dude selling piroshki and I thought, THAT is what I want to eat. I immediately googled vegetarian piroshki recipes and found a potato one that I think I'm going to try.
An interesting thing I'm finding out about this cleanse is that old emotions are coming out just as much as old toxins are. It's refreshing and surprising to be thinking about things that have happened years ago and still feel the same emotions that I felt then. Both good and bad. Catharsis. That said, I found two new white hairs today. Impermanence.
I've also really solidified a desire to go on a long solitary meditation retreat. I almost feel like I need to go. Definitely a life goal.
Day 9 is a detox day for sure. I feel better than when I did this morning but I'm feeling a little tired. It's 2:16 pm right now. I hope tommorrow is more bliss filled! But I accept today and am not at all dissatisfied.
