Fruit Cleansing And Art

Hello all,
It has been quite a while.  I have reconnected with the healing abilities of fruit once again.  I am not a 100% fruitarian but I do know what it felt like to be that way for at least 2 months.  I crave that simple living once again.  I have been eating a lot of fruit since I moved to a new location where I have access to good deals on fresh fruits nuts , seeds, and greens.  I thought that a market like this would be more prevalent in the kinda country area me and my family lived within before we moved little over a week ago to this urban more polluted area.

I decided to start looking at artists that I admire the talent of to study drawing and painting fruit.  The more I learn about how beneficial each fruit that I put and my body is the better I will know how my body works in this world.  I will share with you today some art from other artists that I love.  The artists who saw the beauty and simplicity of drawing or painting fruit.  After painting and drawing fruit for many years I would assume one would truly see the beauty and complexity of each fruit that is carefully observed. Here you see some of my favorite artists who studied fruit as their main subject many a times.  Paul Cezanne, Frida Kahlo and Georgia O'Keefe have been definite inspiration when feeling  like I want to express my love of fruit in an artistic way.
     

Fruitarian Destiny

So I have truly embrassed the fruitarian lifestyle. Fruits are the only food that digest well and I am happy for the healing properties they supply to my body. I will be posting more on my journey but I must say that so far I know for me that fruit is teaching me to slow down and really enjoy what I am ingesting. I noticed that when I eat a piece of fruit I can truly feel what wonders it is doing to my body.

I have lost 10lbs. within a month of cleansing and transitioning. It was not a goal of mine but a the effects of fruit and also my training on my bike, yoga, light weights and dancing around the house to my favorite tunes.

Stay tuned for more of my journey and soon some fruit art.

Fruitarian Dream

I thought that I could dive right into the Fruitarian pool full force and not looking back but realized my weakness for cooked food so I will just work on incorporating more fruit and only eating cooked vegan. But check out the lovely fruit this year from my garden. More grapes coming,lots of cucumbers,lots of tomatoes and melons on the way.

Grapes,Grapes,and more Grapes

Our grape harvest was so plentiful this year thanks to my husband's brilliant idea to build a pyramid for the grapevines to grow on. The juice is very delightful! We are also making some of the grapes into raisins by drying them in the sun.

Here are a few photos of our grape harvest. I hope that you enjoy them!

Bloated and Tired

I was doing very well with just consuming fruit until I decided to indulge in foods that I know do a disservice to the functioning of my body. Cooked food for me is addictive and raw food is not. Fruit is especially non-addictive to me. I have been stressing out about so many things about my life and when I stress out I eat cooked comforting foods. When I participate in this behaviour everything around me becomes dull and and tired. I am making a commitment to myself to only consume fruits or drink water and fresh fruit juice for the next 10 days starting tommorrow. I say starting tommorrow because I have already participating in comfort food hell. For the rest of the day I am consuming only lemon or lime water and hope to ease my bloating.

I am quite encouraged by the books that I have been reading by Arnold Ehret, Mucusless Diet, and Rational Fasting and intend on buying more inspiring fasting and fruitarian literature to help me through this very important journey of my life.

I truly want to feel more alive and not just coasting through my days. I am really ready to treat my body as my temple and to find more constructive ways to deal with all of the stresses of daily life.

My art is coming along well. I am still creating constantly. Here are just a few pieces I have completed.

Warm Regards,

Trina

Arnold Ehret

I have read Arnold Ehret's Mucusless Diet and now I am reading Rational Fasting. The information he provides in his books makes me wonder why I did not decide long ago to embark upon the the fruitarian path. I am coming life in my mind,body and soul through a simple act such as taking the time to really enjoy the most beautiful foods on earth. I have not been completely fruitarian. I do add garlic,greens,and yerba mate tea. I may soon be ready to get rid of the garlic because I notice how foul it makes me smell and that I tend to overdo it without being conscious of it. I really am taking to heart the teachings of Arnold Ehret and know that this information would not have presented it self to me if it was not time for me to expand my mind and try something that could be very helpful for my body,mind, and soul. I have been wanting to do more yoga lately and I feel that my body is truly getting stronger and stronger. I am wanting to try fasting as soon as tomorrow. I am going to take it one step at a time. Today I spent time out in my backyard planting lots of watermelon and canteloupe. I am so hoping for it all to grow well. I just want to be able to eat as much organic produce as possible

Today I decided to only partake of bananas because I noticed that mixing fruits complicates my system. I have also added yoga to my daily routine. I am excited about the watermelon and cantaloupe seeds me and my son have planted. We already have sprouts coming up. Yay!!!

I have been working on so much art. Some may find it scary but I am getting over my fear of judgement. Here is a painting and a doll that I have been working on. One is suppose to be a mermaid two-sided and the other painting are demons in a catacomb.

I hope that you enjoy it!

Love to you and yours,

Trina
