Hello blog, long time no see

Another stage of renovation of our flat is over, so after a couple of months of sleeping over at my friends' I'm back in my flat. We had our floor changed to cork in both rooms, and now, before we put back the furniture, I'd like to take advantage of the opportunity (quiero aprovechar de la oportunidad) and show you almost all the things related to the raw food diet, more ecological living in a city, spiritual growth and using the power of thought I use in my daily life (apart from fresh fruit and vegetables - not in the photos).

Different aspects of my life

My stationery:

Recycled paper notebooks, from Latvia and Thailand.

If you come across or decide to give me as a present pens that use NON-petrol ink, I'll really apreciate it!

My everyday jewellery: I prefer gem stones and silver.

The bracelet and little Buddha are bijou exceptions, but they were bought in a sacred cave temple in Thailand and I love them.

This chakra bracelet is the last gem stone thing I bought,

and it was in Tilburg, in one of the very nice shops they have there.

A friend of mine is interested in

silver and the litte rose in the photo is by him =) A wonderful present.

Food for thought: Some of the many books I've read on topics ranging from enzymes, vegan raw diet, amazing properties of water to energy flows in the body and universe, the power of thought, feeling good, feelings, intentions and positive affirmations.

Lately I've been listening to or watching lectures on the Internet.

What I really appreciate are the teachings of Abraham - Hicks and Bashar (it's contemporary channeling), EFT tapping technique with David Childerley.

Some of the many pictures and photos of places I want to go to or live in and things I want to have or use.

As for food for the body,I've been eating a lot of melons, peaches,

nectarines and grapes the last 3 months (90% of my food intake). I have an ozone cleaner for fruit and vegetables, especially good for grapes and other berries, dill, parsley. I try to buy food at local markets, and I use public transport. So this handcart (тележка) is very helpful. I'm going to try to sprout barley (ячмень), peas, popper and val beans (dolijos). I also have flax seeds, white and black sesame.

In August I went to Spain where I came across a wonderful bio shop where I bought an excellent sprouter, very good for sprouting buckwheat.


In the photos you can see what can be stored at home for a long time: seeds for future sprouting, nuts, pumpkins, algae. I do eat algae sometimes. I'm going to buy a 25 kg sack of buckwheat at antibludoman.ru. I'll do it as soon as they collect the harvest. Really looking forward to it! It's not only about taste, it's also about independence from the unpredictable government-market-weather conditions-etc.

Drinking: I do drink fresh juice. I know it's not very good and natural, but it's the only drink I can have when with friends in a café, apart from water. The summer (=dacha) season is over and I guess I'll use the destiller again. Now there are several bottles of water from the spring near Mozhaisk. This water tastes so good, it feels so pure. But my Dad won't go to Mozhaisk till next May. I haven't used stones (shungite etc) for some 4-5 months. But I think I will. And I bought a wonderful device a couple of months ago to structure water. It's copper and silver together, so there's a weak electricity flow in the water in a glass. Sometimes I have a bit of sea salt, coarse grey salt from Guérande or pink salt from the Himalayas. I have it separately, of course.

Sleeping: I'm sleeping on the floor, on a natural Thai latex matress (actually, I bought 4 thin pillows, and my Mum sewed them together).

Hygiene:There are a number of things not widely available and affordable in Moscow. Stuff to clean the WC or wash clothes not that harmful to our planet is an example. I bought it in the EU. It is avaiable at Carrefour in Belgium or in bio shops in the Netherlands.
When water and household soda (sodium carbonate, Na2CO3) aren't enough for my personal hygiene, I use special herb mixes in powder. I buy them in ayurvedic shops in Moscow.

When I see paper handkerchiefs packed not 10 separately but 100 together I buy them. I don't like so many plastic bags in my life but the vendors at the market or shop assistants think it's a high level of service to put even 2 peaches in a separate bag, uff.

Walking: I believe barefoot is best, and I really admire one guy from Minsk, Belarus, I know from the LiveJournal who walks barefoot

everywhere he can and carries with him a pair of shoes to put on where it's prohibited to be barefoot (the underground etc.)

My choice is using special shoes whenever I can. I bought them in Groningen, the Netherlands, 3 years ago, I think this is the most expensive pair of shoes I have. But they're really worth it.

MBT physiological footwear. Now this brand is in Russia too. The last time I was in Maastricht a couple of weeks ago I saw an old man riding his bike in similar shoes =)

Breathing: the air quality in Moscow is awful. When I am at the crossroads waiting for the green light, I automatically hold my breath.

Music: Mozart and classic, romantic, barocco music, Russian gusli (psaltery); rock and pop songs I loved many years ago. I know these are literally destructive for the body cells, so I measure out in doses (дозирую). No piano lessons since the beginning of summer.

Pyramid power:

Clothes: This summer I decided to buy clothes as natural as possible, preferably of bio cotton and/or linen. It isn't that easy! Many of the things I liked contain polyester, elastan etc. Nevertherless I managed to find 100% cotton, cotton+linen things. Not an easy task is to find you know what - socks! Producers add 5% elastan or similar almost everywhere.

Bathing house: Sometimes I have access to a Russian bathing house. This summer I went there 3-4 times and I loved the experience.

Animals: good news - I've got a friend with a dog and two friends with a cat and I go to their places regularly. Three weeks ago I walked the dog, the first time in my life! And I really love her. I find it easy to love pets now, but it's something really new for me. This dog came into my life several months ago. Before I loved only cats. During my trip to Thailand in March I felt the strength and the power of a phyton. And now I love dogs!

When I was in Belgium in September, I was invited, unexpectedly, to a countryhouse, and was very much surprised to find 3 dogs and 7 cats there! When it was dogs' time to walk they all ran about, and the largest one appeared to be the most social. He was taller than me when he stood up on his paws and he was very strong. But I wasn't afraid, not a second. He even jumped at me, hit me and I fell over on the grass and got a clour (шишка) on my forehead. But all I felt was love and joy and gratitude.

Quantum Touch: I had a short session of QT in Brussels. It was on my spine. Several years ago I got some nerve jamming in the upper back while stretching, and since then I've sometimes felt uncomfortable. Arlette worked on my back, but it's impossible to tell whether it has helped or not, as this uncomfortable feeling happens maybe 3-4 times a year.

In early November I'm in Brussels again, now to learn to run energy myself.

MMS: I'm very curious about MMS (Miracle Mineral Solution)! Ordered it from the UK to Tilburg but it hadn't arrived when came there. So I'll get it in November.

Fasting: I feel the need for abstaining from food quite often, my body wants less food and more water, but my head (my mind, my psyche etc) via my eyes and nose just won't let me! So, once a month, maybe 20-30 hours, and that's it.

Several weeks ago I woke up with just one word "лапидарно" (RU), I wasn't able to remember what it means, so I looked it up in the dictionary. I had never used this word and had had only a vague idea about the meaning. Today I woke up with the word "escaparate" (ES). I didn't manage to remember the meaning but when I looked it up I saw I had known it. My subconscious mind gives me little presents like these words :)

July

Busy again. From early morning till quite late at night with several free hours at noon. Sleep about 5 hours a night, not enough for me. Move a lot, by mainly short distances in polluted areas (15 minutes on foot to the closest underground station). Spend a lot of time in metro and in concrete buildings, surrounded by crowds of people or working with people (not with a PC).
The cherry period will come to an end soon so I'm eating as much as I can afford every day. The prices are reasonable at the market, but I don't have time to go there often and have to buy fruit next to metro stations.
Bingo, I drink at least two mugs of water every morning.

Food

2 kg tangerines from Morocco (waxed, yes), several oranges from Brazil, bananas 3 pieces, some strawberries, dates 2 pieces, 400 g almonds from Italy in the evening, some other nuts for breakfast.
Woke up at 5:30 and couldn't sleep more, but during the day slept several hours.

Temperature and food today

36.5C in the afternoon, 36.7C at night.
Today with more precise numbers:
Before 22:00
Water, 0.5 l freshly squeezed orange juice
After 22:00
4 kakis, 3 oranges, 1 tangerine, 1 galia melon, salad (red cabbage, leek, green onion, red onion, проростки, Chinese cabbage, yellow paprika, cauliflower, tomato, cucumber, carrot)
Very strange. It didn't seem to be a lot. The pauses between the meals were short, but I felt well.
My rhythm is not appropriate now, go to bed very late.

My weight is the same, it is stable since I was 14 years old, about 45 kg, with maximum last winter (52 kg) and minimum when I ate the halva and got sick (43 kg).
I read that many raw foodists lose weight. It's not my case :) I guess mine is already optimal.

Sleeping

I sleep on a big matrass directly on the floor, head to the north. There are a couple of thin pillows on the matrass, I sometimes use them. But I can relax better if I sleep on the back without a pillow. I heard a saying "the higher the pillow, the poorer the health", чем выше подушка, тем больше болезней.

Time and sleeping

There are many proverbs, sayings and wise men quotes in different languages that reflect the importance of living in accordance with biological rhythms. An example in English can be Franklin's "early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise". A quien madruga Dios le ayuda. The early bird catches the worm. Кто рано встаёт, тому Бог подаёт/к тому счастье придёт.
Today on the RU TV channel Vesti 24 an interesting film on time was shown. There is a modern branch of science called biochronology which studies the rhythms of individual cells and organs. Actually they believe they know much more than it was described in the ancient manuscripts of Tibet and India. But those who have knowledge from Tibet or India know that it is absolutely necessary to respect the cycles of the Sun and the Moon in their food choice and sleeping habits. Only since recently our modern scientists say it is good to go to bed at 22 and wake up with the sunrise.
It is important to sleep at night because only then (when one sleeps and when it is dark) the melatonin is produced in our body. In the end it influences the ageing, if one doesn't respect the circadian rhythms, or recovery, if one does respect them.
Thus, on the way to health one should sleep from 22 to 5-6. I am far from this rhythm but will be doing my best to make it my way of life. But they say it will come easily and naturally after just a year on raw food. People I read in the web on raw food forums wake up at 5 with a lot of energy and wish to live a full life.
