It was late November, with a grey sky and low clouds hanging just above our head. My colleague’s partner had a juicing company, and I used to get a couple of juices a week from her. And without knowing much about it, I looked into juicing detox, got in touch with the partner, and registered for a 3-day raw-vegan juicing. My colleague hadn’t tried it herself yet. So Garry (the partner), comes home on a Sunday morning to deliver the juices and we started to chatting about this transformation from an un-healthy builder to a raw vegan juicer who regained years and healed from his illness. I was touched by his story and inspired by his transformation. So, he shared with me a couple of videos of people who had healed by themselves, with the power of their mind. And I got fascinated by all of this and researching the topic more and more (in my limited spare time). The 3-day turned into 5 then into 7, next thing I knew I had committed for a 30-day plant-based juicing journey. And Garry encouraged me, I’m so grateful to him, to journal my experience.
My juicing experience
I was initially sceptical about it, thinking I would be starving. And I struggled at times to finish my juices, so full I felt. And I started observing an increase in my energy levels. Between the 7 initial days and the 30, I had a business trip abroad and had to eat what was available. And I could really feel a change in my energy levels going back down with a normal diet. So I was eager to get back to my enhanced self; vibrating at a higher frequency.

Setting intentions
Guided by the wise words of Garry, I set intentions for this 30-day juicing period. Here’s the extract from my journal:
‘I want it to be a focus on self-discovery, healing, nurturing, for the body and the mind [I didn’t talk much about soul back then!] I would like to get a lasting effect out of this juicing, beyond the 30-days. I want to vibrate with the energy of the Earth’.
I didn’t know what that last bit meant, but I knew I would find out.
The gong bath
A key defining moment in this journey was a gong bath session (laying down and taking in the vibrations of a gong and other instruments being played). Gong baths, Tibetan bowls and Crystal bowls all have the same effect on us, they calm the mind and rebalance with their vibrations all the cells in our body. After the sound healing session, we shared our feelings and picked up a card, a message for us. Mine said ‘Unconditional Love, balance’. A couple of days later, this message made sense to me.
What I realised
I realised that for a while I had been so focused on showing my masculine energy, which had led me to a successful career, being one of ‘them’ and fitting in a heavily men-dominated corporate bank. To the detriment of my feminine energy. I had used this masculine side to protect me, my vulnerable self, having to live and make it in a big city, on my own. I knew I had to embrace my feminine energy, receive more and accept being looked after. And I had already started seeing how the juicing had helped me be more balanced, from the inside.
With Much Love,
Heidi
