Toward emotional well-being (WAS: A couple of questions...I'm new to raw foods!)

[Guest guest]

Hi Tanya,

 

I've been holding this post from you in my queue, I just wish to share a few

words of encouragement.

 

First, everyone is not having clarity and living pain-free ... not everyone,

and not overnight. Sometimes it becomes all too easy for those who have been

at this for awhile to say " oh, it's just this " , and forget their own, often

challenging and even arduous journey. You are definitely not alone in your

experience!!!

 

As you have surely noticed by now, I participate in another group called

PathOfHealth, sponsored by the Path of Health Community. When we created

these, we considered what name to choose. We discussion hose Path of Health

because we wished to acknowledge the broad nature of health (not just

arising from diet), and we wished to capture the idea that health is a

journey, a component of life's journey.

 

All change occurs over time. Some changes appear 'instantly " , others over

longer periods. Why? One might consider various explanations, I'll must

mention two.

 

1. We created poor health over a period of many years. Our system may

require time to cleanse, restore, and replenish itself in the aftermath of

all that self-abuse.

 

2. We may have certain subconscious beliefs--programming, if you will--that

conflict with our new, consciously chosen journey into health. And whenever

our subconscious programming conflicts with our consciously chosen values,

beliefs, goals, etc., our subconscious almost always wins. It's just faster

and more powerful than our conscious awareness. Another way of saying this

is that will power often fails.

 

If you wish to learn a bit more about #2, I offer (yes) another of our free

Path of Health Community teleconferences, entitled " Do I Have Two Minds, Or

What? !! " . available for download at:

I wanted to ask how long it took for you to get over the anxiety part, in

general. Or if it was one thing at a time.

 

I have reached a point where the anxiety is better, however part of my

problem is that even though I've cut down drastically on my meds and was OFF

the meds, I went back on them because I'm not healed enough. I know people

will have a variety of opinions on this, but this was important. You'd have

to be in my body to know what a crisis event is.

 

I went off the meds for 2 months, went through a bad withdrawal and thought

it would be ok. I really went slowly downhill. What I did was too much at

once. I went off the meds slowly tapering before I went raw, then I went

raw... and the list goes on. I'm on a really low dose of a couple of

medications and that's ok right now.

 

There are just times I wonder why I am raw. Going back to cooked isn't an

option. I think I'm in a slump. None of my raw-ness seems to be like anyone

else's experience. From what I read, everyone is feeling great and have

clarity and are pain-free.

I haven't been on in a few days and this is great! It gets easier and then I

have a few days of feeling really awful. Today is better. Thank you for the

link, I'll get to that in a bit.

 

It's true that programming is powerful. Funny though, once in a while I'll

taste something cooked and it tastes NOTHING like I think it's going to and I

spit it out. I'm glad I reached that point. I think it was pizza that I tasted

and it was just wrong, for lack of a better word.

 

Thank you,

 

Tanya
