			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve been holding off on this for a year. My housemate happens to be an organic gardener and a nutrition expert. Last year he showed me a book with a zillion smoothie recipes. According to the book you can use various berry, fruit, and vegetable smoothies to improve a wide variety of health conditions.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve done various fasts including a ten day water fast and a 28 day Master Cleanser fast. These all produced some great benefits.<br />
<span id="more-591"></span><br />
On the ten day water fast I had one day of amazing mental clarity and creativity. The result of this was a pretty slick piece of computer software that I presented to the world.</p>
<p>Near the end of the 28 day Master Cleanser program I had a wonderful spiritual experience. Some people call this a satori. It&#8217;s a temporary semi-enlightenment state. The sense of peace and simplicity was wonderful. At the moment I lack the words to describe it.</p>
<p>However, these extreme fasts have their down sides. I spent most of the ten days of the water fast in bed. I felt quite debilitated.</p>
<p>Near the end of the 28 day Master Cleanse I started getting toothaches. Actually that&#8217;s the reason that the cleanse came to an end.</p>
<p>During each fast I dropped a bunch of weight. After each fast I gained back more weight that I lost. Hmmm. There was something missing.</p>
<p>What was missing was the complete foods. When we fast, such as in a juice fast, we discard the most nutritious part of the food. That&#8217;s the pulp. With most fruits the most nutritious part is the area just inside the outer skin and the seeds. </p>
<p>Avocado pits are extremely nutritious. Watermelon seeds are great. The white area just inside the watermelon pulp is quite nutritious.</p>
<p>You might notice that I&#8217;m not going into detail about what sort of goodies are included in each seed or pulp. That&#8217;s because I&#8217;m not a nutrition expert by any means. You probably know more that I do.</p>
<p>However, all of us have some sense about what kinds of stuff improve our health and what kinds of things don&#8217;t.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s one important thing I do know.</p>
<p>When it comes to food preparation I&#8217;m lazy. If it&#8217;s not quick and easy I won&#8217;t do it. I&#8217;ll go get some fast food &#8220;just this one time.&#8221; That one time extends itself into hundreds of times per year. My waistline also extends.</p>
<p>A Confession</p>
<p>Well here it is. My life is about raising consciousness. But I can&#8217;t tell you how many times I&#8217;ve put myself into a food coma.</p>
<p>So in my case it is necessary to make things simple. If it&#8217;s not quick and easy, then I won&#8217;t do it.</p>
<p>With my super blender I throw in avocado pits. I throw in the whole apple including the stem and seeds.</p>
<p>And I top it off with one tray&#8217;s worth of ice. Most blenders have a heck of a time with ice. My blender can grind rake handles. Of course nobody is going to consume a rake handle smoothie. But it demonstrates what can be done.</p>
<p>My smoothies have a great consistency.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re lazy like me, or if you want to get the best leverage from your time and effort, you might want to get a Blendtec blender.</p>
<p>I do have a commercial interest in this recommendation. So this is one way to give back if you like what you&#8217;ve seen and heard on this blog.</p>
<p>If you order through my link then, I&#8217;ll give you a choice of one of the following:</p>
<p>A free copy of my eBook &#8211; <em>Rocket Fuel for the Soul &#8211; Blissercise Self-Help Manual</em>.</p>
<p>&#8211; OR &#8211;</p>
<p>MP3 versions of my observer meditations. You can load these onto your computer or MP3 player.</p>
<p>&#8211; OR &#8211;</p>
<p>Seven days of email support on any spiritual or personal issues that you might have.</p>
<p>You can claim your bonus by emailing me your order number after you order.</p>
<p>FYI, I ordered the Blendtec on Tuesday and received it at my door three days later.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve used it every day since I got it. It&#8217;s a major part of my daily routine.</p>
<p>Note that this is expensive by most people&#8217;s standards &#8211; $399. To me it&#8217;s worth it&#8217;s weight in gold. I&#8217;ve felt more energy and mental clarity after I started using it.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.blendtec.com/products.aspx?category=1&#038;affiliateid=265808">Here&#8217;s the link to place the order. Click here.</a></p>
<p>May the bliss be with you.</p>
<p>Your friend,<br />
