A lot of people have been asking how much should I eat, when should I begin, how long should I fast and many other questions surrounding healing and in specific knowing what to do. The core issue here is the lack of trust we have in our own healing ability and in knowing what is right for ourselves. Through our education system and conditioning in general we have grown into the habit of not trusting our own intuition. Our thoughts are our guide to knowing what is right for our own personal journey. Yet we lack distinct trust in those thoughts. For some reason we think we are wrong about knowing what to do in our own lives. Sure it is great to hear opinions and seek expert advise in fields to enhance our understanding, but no one and I mean no one can understand you better than you. Pealing off layers of conditions is hard work at times and we need to be ready to be able to cope with the changes that occur when we do so. It is my rule number one, I know what is best for me given my circumstances at the time.
So when embarking upon a fast whether it be eating watermelon for 7 days or juicing or green smoothies, you will learn to understand that your body knows what it is doing and you will continue to grow the strength of understanding to listen to your own intuitive guidance.
Matthew’s journey of watermelon fasting was a huge insight. He ate when he felt hungry and on some days he was just drinking water alone. There is no prescription here. Each individual has there own uniqueness. Put aside the fear and leap into self healing knowing that you trust in your own process of understanding. There were times with Matthew that I wanted to take him to hospital, he was so sick. Days where I wondered if he was going to make it through. But he helped me to realise that hospital for him was not an option. All they would want to do would be tell him he was crazy, drive fear into his spirit and completely take away his strength and control of his own life. Don’t get me wrong, there are some great medical Dr’s out there, who help people in accidents and the like, but there is a huge myth being created surrounding disease that they believe to be a mystery, when clearly it is not.
I myself have been told many a time by unhealthy, overweight, sick looking people that eating raw food is crazy. I find it ironic that I look and feel far better than them and yet they feel through their own arrogance that it is ok to tell me I am stupid, crazy or a freak. So when someone else is projecting their fears and thoughts onto you, have the courage to listen to your own guidance and respond how you choose.
