So it was back to the shakes for me…No prob. Felt energetic and non-bloated in the morning…
I do think that I”m not drinking enough water…
Today I went to the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in San Diego for their Open House. First thing I did was get an acupuncture treatment. Because a lot of people were getting treatments and it was an introduction, pretty much everyone was getting a relaxation treatment. Well…at least that’s what I got. I also got a lot of good info from the guy acupuncturing me. He answered my weird questions. And no, the needles didn’t hurt at all. At all. I got 6 of them I believe. I dunno. For all I know they could still be in me. Ha. Maybe he put me down for the relaxation treatment because I was kinda freaked out. Not scared freaked out. But hyper in a really weird way that makes me look like I’m on drugs. But that’s actually just me being hyper and tense at the same time. Anyway, it worked. I relaxed and went on to a qigong seminar, which was FUN.
After that, we went to a taiji seminar, and although it was significantly less intense than the qigong, (The presenter went through the super loooooong history of the style of taiji she was teaching.) I started having strange symptoms. The little movements that I had to do for the taiji–my legs were in pain. My head was kind of fuzzy. I felt like my head was encased in that IcyHot stuff. The skin on my face was cold and clammy. I was on the verge of running out of the room to somehow find a way not to feel weird anymore. She ended the seminar just in time…and I was able to sit and recover for a bit.
After that we went and ate some pot stickers and Chinese New Year candy. My first solid food after the cleanse. That kind of got me back to normal.
I was talking with Judy…about life and all that stuff that I usually like to talk about…and somehow we ended up screaming in the car at the top of our lungs, “THIS IS OUR LIFE!!!! WE ARE ALIVE!!!!” then laughing hysterically as she sped down Morena Blvd…
After that we went to meet Judy’s friend, Brigitte at People’s. We ended up eating at Rancheros (? not sure of the name) where most of the Mexican food can be made vegan.
Brigitte is a healer. She does a lot of energy work. The lady I was talking on the phone with yesterday, Sheila told me that I needed energy work. So it was just strange that I was meeting Brigitte today. It was a day of interesting conversations and we ended up agreeing to meet regularly to motivate each other and talk about the things that we are all interested in and have in common…I’m going to meet them again on Tuesday for yoga. I’ve always wanted to do yoga!!! And we’re gonna go to qigong for sure on Saturdays at the World Beat Center.
I don’t know if it was the Cleanse day before, the acupuncture, the taiji…or what…I was nauseous and out of my head on and off all day, like I was on the verge of a migraine. Brigitte did a treatment on me and it worked. I didn’t faint, which is what I felt like doing.
I think around my cleanse days, I really need to be more delicate with myself…and maybe not wear contacts. I’ll probably just sleep now.
