So I approach one quarter of the way through my detox. I awoke early in confusion but that was partly because I dreamt the kids I was teaching turned into adults half way through the session. I naturally became concerned I'd pitched my activities a bit low. The adults were frowning and muttering. My new friend also excitedly asked me via text if I wanted to attend some microbial workshop where you get to take some critters away with you at the end in a jar. I am still not sure what I would do with them but nonetheless see the irony in evicting one lot of miniature life forms and then importing another home.......All a bit much at 7am......
Still somewhat achey and tireder than I should be first thing but the headaches have lessened today. I paced myself, took two twenty minute walks and managed not to fall asleep at 3.30pm by eating some nuts as advised by Anna.
My tea jar is travelling happily around. I'm getting better at throwing tinctures in my mouth.
I did have a moment this morning at about 11.30am whilst reading about the garden at Findhorn, Scotland. The woman I am house sitting for is up there so I thought I would read up a bit about it. People in the book describe growing in harmony with nature spirits, devas and about the inner workings of the spirits of the plants. I started crying. Either it struck a chord or I am just about to blub at every trash magazine headline I see for the next three weeks. I''ll get back to you on that.....
Gluten / Sugar / Dairy free lunch of the day
Cabbage, red onion, brocolli, tomato, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and tamari cooked together in coconut oil in a wok. A tin of mackerel in olive oil on the top. Surprisingly tasty.
Note re: cookings oils. According to certain sources the only oils which are stable enough to withstand high temperatures of cooking are coconut oil, butter and ghee.
So olive oil, vegetable oil and sunflower oil contrary to belief are not great for you if you cook with them. I understand that coconut oil is not local and maybe not sustainable as a long term choice but we use these substances daily. If you want to know why these oils are bad you'll have to get researching. The scientists and dieticians amongst you come forth! The joy of the Tinterweb. I'm just here to plant ideas.......
