~I like the taste of the distilled water I prepare at home. Drink at least 1 litre regularly, try to stick to the classical 2 litres.
~My mum's friend gave her a couple of kilos of dried plums that they'd got somewhere for cheap, and she ate a lot of them at a go. She doesn't think about SO2 etc, and here's the result: she's quite sick, with all the symptoms of intoxication. You'll never get this if you have apples or other really raw fruit.
~As I said I don't feel ready for fruitarianism, so after 3 weeks without the leafy greens I'm enjoying them again. And not only the greens, sprouts too. Bought young sunflower shoots - and liked them a lot! Thick and crunchy.
~Synchronicity:
I've been thinking of ways to wash my hair naturally for a while. Today received a newsletter I'm subscribed to, and there was an interview with a 50y.o. woman who's been living a relatively natural lifestyle for the last 10 years. She gave some tips on several issues, including washing one's hair. Then I read LiveJournal, and one of my virtual friends asked advice on washing his hair.
So, I tried washing my hair with bicarbonate of soda (2 spoonfuls per 500 ml of lukewarm or hot or very hot water) and rinsing it with lemon juice (half a lemon, squeeze, strain, 500 ml of lukewarm water), and I like the result!

Distilled water in Moscow


My beloved Moscow is definitely NOT a place to live, it's a place to make money or visit as a tourist. I realized it several years ago and tried living in several other places, quieter, smaller and less crowded, with better air, better water.
When I came back from Thailand I couldn't make myself drink the tap water. So during the entire fortnight I drank perhaps 4 litres of bottled water. Now that I have a distiller and I liked the water from it, I hope to drink more.
I want to share with you a couple of pics I took yesterday when the distilling process was coming to an end. Just compare the colours & transparency of the water in the flask and the jar...

March 2010

~After coming back from Thailand I decided to try and continue being fruitarian for some time. My food list is so short right now!

grapes (usually dark)
oranges
tangerines
apples
tomatoes
cucumbers

I know it's all not seasonal in my area and I'm really looking forward to June-July-August-September, when there are cherries, good tomatoes and cucumbers, and peaches, mmm.
I don't think I'm ready to stop eating the greens completely and after just 1 month without them I feel like having some lettuce and dill.

~Since childhood my lungs have been the weakest part of my body, so whatever dis-ease is around, my lungs are affected. From the books by Batmanghelidj I learnt about dehydration and I believed Dr B. So I'm aware of the reason - my water consumption is again very low because all of a sudden I just didn't like the taste. I really hope I'll get used to distilled water.

~I came across a great source of knowledge and inspiration on youtube. Starting from here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhDlXhDjjsE It's amazing (well, actually not - everything we need comes at the right time) how my thinking and my view of the world is in line with hers on so many topics. From her I learnt about quantum touch. This is something I'm going to learn!

~I downloaded a film which they say is a good continuation of The Secret. Looking forward to watching it.

~ During the last couple of weeks I walked several times for some 4 hours. At last I walked for more than 1 hour. Good.

~I usually remember to be grateful for everything in my life, I'm working on forgiving, started with myself. Oh, that's so powerful! They say it's a way to clean the emotional body. And I feel changes.
My way to thank the world for the money is basically a mix of Bob Proctor and Jasmuheen's wording. "I am so happy and grateful now that money comes to me readily and easily in increasing quantities, through multiple sources, on a continuous basis, in dollars, euros, pounds, rubles, bahts, francs, yen, pesos etc. Thank you, thank you, thank you".



Distiller!

A flat-bottomed flask on the stove top. My kitchen looks like a lab =) It's my experiment. Didn't want to spend too much money on it. Although I believe water is the primary source of energy for the body and it's worth investing even a small fortune, I can't afford 1500 euros to buy an automatic glass distiller. And I didn't want to buy a plastic one. Well, I may give it a second thought now as it takes a lot of time (and cold water) to get just 1 litre. ~2h
