Yahoooo! day 3 and feeling good. I am sleeping a lot more than normal... which actually feels great. Luckily I have the time to do that right now. this is my 2nd Master-Cleanse and I remember being amazed then too at the relief of not eating... and the physiological trip that puts my head in. I keep asking myself, can it really be OK not to eat? Wow, how do I feel normal, etc... AND I dream of food. I find myself eating in my dreams and then telling myself, wait you are supposed to be fasting! hilarious :) At least I am indulging in crazy foods that I wouldn't normally eat either...JUNK FOOD dreams...so funny!
Anyhow, my questions are:
exercise... I normally am very active but after starting with a headache on day one, I didn't do any exercise day 1 and then was affraid of a reaccuring headache so I laid off day 2 as well... now I am wondering what level of exercise is beneficial... I don't want to experiment and find out the hard way that I did too much. I usually do a long yoga practice, go for a surf and a hike or run most days... without any of these things I think I might go stir crazy. I imagine I can't go wrong with yoga... what about working up a sweat with a run or hike?
2nd question:
psyllium husk... I have gotten rid of any solids at this point and was wondering what the pros and cons of using psyllium husk powder would be. I was thinking to use it 1 hour after my lax tea to collect and sweep things away...
I will only be able to do a 8 day this go around because I am leaving for vacation and won't be able to prepare my mixture etc... abroad. So with a shorter time I was wondering if that might help things along or would it actually slow things down.
I live pretty clean. I exercise regularly. Eat a vegan vegetarian diet... but am left to chips and guacamole at most parties as well as many sugary juices... I try and eat before I go but sometimes to be social I nash with the group...which is what I am trying to cleanse...plus I get headaches... and I have noticed that the shine I usually carry around has dissapeared.... just wanting to clean house :)
thanks for any input and for being there with me during this cleanse.
It sure id helpful to have this to relate with during the MC... everyone around just thinks I am strange.
love and light

This is a reply to # 239,667If you want to really convince yourself of the benefits of fasting you should read some fasting books by Hilton Hotema or Arnold Ehret, plus some breatharian works (which are kind of out there but totally fascinating) like Mony Vital. It's really a good idea to read a lot before a fast, because then you can think about the things the body is doing and how it's healing while you fast. It's more fun that way, rather than trying to convince yourself it's okay. It's better to KNOW it's GOOD. Also, things like breathing excersizes, energy balancing excersizes and sungazing (if you can get into that) really help with energy, and understanding where our energy actually comes from. (Rather than food)
I have no problem exersizing while fasting (though i've only done short fasts). I usually jog, and lift weights, but I try not to overexert myself in the weight room for fear of getting dizzy.
You will hear plenty of comments regarding psyllium husk with the MC!

This is a reply to # 239,667Well, if you're strange, at least you're in good company! LOL
I have done lots of fasting, including very long, and exercise every day barring crises. The headache wasn't caused by exercise, but it is best to lie low during a crisis. When you are back up again, resume your normal level of activity! If it is too much, cut back a bit!
Again, I take a tablespoon of BLACKSTRAP molasses, either dissolved in hot water or with lemonade, before working out and find that gives me the extra support I need to do my full workout even on a long fast.
Save the psyllium for your post-cleanse diet! The whole idea of fasting is to remove the constant burden of digestion from the body to allow it to cleanse, detox and heal. Psyllium has to be processed... it is an unnecessary do-dad. Take your Master-Cleanse straight!
When you do break, remember to eat LIGHT, eat CLEAN and eat SLOWLY! You get in those party situations and anything can happen!
Have a great cleanse!
Best,
Somer

This is a reply to # 239,667I am a marathon runner, and avid exerciser, and I use the cleansing/fasting process to SLOW DOWN, and not exercise as much. I actually watch TV/Movies, read, and nap while fasting. I never slow down, except when fasting, so I use this time to rest. Don't feel like you have to if you don't feel up to it. Sometimes, enjoying a good program, book, or nap is way more imortant.

MoreThis is a reply to # 239,667thank you all very much.
I am excited to try a bit more exercise tomorrow... my shortened work out today was just fine... I'll try a little molasses and go for it :)
Thanks again.
I also really appreciated the "permission" to rest as well... hard sometimes to let yourself stop!
Love and Light
