Complete… ARUN Conscious Touch “Body/ Love Green Smoothie Cleanse and Detox” with Anasha (Sept. 18-24, 2010)

Are you READY?!?  “ARUN Body/ Love Green Smoothie Detox and Cleanse” starting soon!  with Anasha

On OSHO’s Enlightenment Day, we start again…  March 21st-  March 27th, 2011… when you have time, look at this record of last year’s sharing about strategy of Green Smoothie and many great recipes…

Hello Beloved Friends,

We will see each other soon, but starting Saturday September 18th, for one week we will have the opportunity to experience ‘1st hand’ what it means to help the body detox and heal itself through a mild approach.  I consider this fundamental for the health of the body-mind organism.

Giving your body a break of what it is accustomed to receive on a daily basis is enlightening… Self-experiencing is the key to authentic knowing- it’s not borrowed knowledge, but related to you.  It is also a good way to dive into the vertical reality of your Being.

Why Green Smoothies?

Our bodies are too “acidic”- even sweet fruits can lead to acidity in the body if not properly combined.  So the “green leaves” are what will alkanalyse the body.  Notice that most of the diseases humanity suffers from are due to too much acidity (such as cancer, arthritis, depression, headaches, etc).  Too much acidic food in the diet also contributes to the inflamations, calcifications, contractions, stiffness, water retention, skin diseases, and tissue and cell degeneration that billions of people are suffering from!

The Green Smoothie is abundant in ‘liquid chlorophyl’, which means you are consuming pure, life energy… and chlorophyl is also a potent blood builder .  So if you are suffering from anemia, remember to drink green juices or green smoothies to get the “iron” your body needs… as supplements are often not absorbed by the body.

How to Combine Fruits?

Melons should always be eaten alone… you can mix them together, but not with other fruits, as it creates flatulence and putrefication inside.  Watermelon is fantastic to help the kidneys detox, and you can use the white rind also as many nutrients gather in the rind.

Acid Fruits and Sub-acid Fruits combine well:

“Acid Fruits“- which are Grapefruits, oranges, tangerines, pineapple, pomegranates, strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, cranberry, and kumquats combine well with “sub-acid” fruits-  which are apples, blueberries, cherimoyas (with seeds), cherries, fresh figs, grapes (with seeds), kiwi, mangoes, nectarines, papaya, peaches, pears, and plums.

Sweet Fruits:

Bananas, persimmons, prunes, fresh dates, durian, mulberries, and any dried fruits (dried fruits should always be soaked in water to revitalize them… soak them for 6 hours and discard the water that would be “too sweet” and rinse them again before consuming.

Note: ‘Acid fruits’ are not so good with ‘sweet fruits’, but they are ok with ‘sub-acid fruits’.  ‘Sub-acid’ fruits are good with ‘sweet’ fruits.  I personally eat ‘acid fruits’ alone, and melons also.  (If you have an impaired digestion, I would suggest you to respect these guidelines).

Also, make sure that you use ripe fruits, as un-ripe fruits would ferment and cause acidity in your body.  Also, don’t use ‘over-ripe’ fruits, as this would also have the same affects.  Bananas in Germany are often sold while still green… ideally, bananas should have some brown spots on them.  If they are still green, it will cause gas in the intestines and will not mix well with other fruits, creating putrefaction.

Remember… the simpler your Smoothies, the better.  Trust in your combinations, dare to take chances, have fun, experiment!

How to Conduct the Cleanse:

Have 3 or more Green Smoothies a day… and have fruits in between if you are hungry… or 1 cucumber… or chew on some salad leaves.

You can prepare your Green Smoothies in advance, and put them in the fridge.

If you have a “cheap blender” blend in steps, and cut the greens small, as this is more of a challenge for your blender, and it will make it easier for your machine.  Blend the soft fruits first with water, then add the harder fruits… blend, then add the greens and blend.

If you ever feel the need to have ‘less fruits’, 1 meal could be like a “soup”.

For example:

• 1/2 bundle parsley
• 1 cucumber
• 1/2 bundle dill          NO SALT!!
• 1/2 lemon                   NO OIL!!
• 2 cups water
• 1/2 avocado

And you can interchange, be creative, buy what you body/ belly craves!

2 Other soup ideas:

• 1 small piece of ginger
• 2 tomatoes
• 2 stick celery NO SALT!!
• 1 cup spinach
• 1/2 cup Basil NO OIL!!
• 1/2 Avocado
• 1-2 cups water

or:

• 1 Red Bell Pepper
• 1 Tomato NO  SALT!!
• 3 cups Baby Spinach, or young tender leaves
• 1 bundle coriander NO  OIL!!
• 1/2 Lemon
• 2 cups water

Do not eat if not hungry!  And “eat” your Green Smoothies, do not gulp them down… impregnate them with your saliva for better digestion and assimilation… and ENJOY!

In love,
Anasha
