In the energy world, healing happens at different rates. Some people change quickly. For example, after just a few Polarity Therapy sessions, one client started sleeping through the night after years of insomnia. Another felt so good she no longer needed her antidepressant.
For others, change takes longer. My husband fit in this latter category. After years of Polarity Therapy, the changes were minimal. He'd come in, lie down and go to sleep. No gurgles, no sighs, no swallowing - all telltale signs that the body is calming down, allowing healing to take place. He would twitch a little here and there, but it wasn't enough. A personal trainer once described him as "strong like an ox." And that's what he felt like - an ox - solid and unmoving. This may be good in the farming or weightlifting worlds, but it's not good in my world. Physically and energetically, he was stuck. When things are stuck and not moving, they're stagnant. Think of a puddle just sitting there on a hot day. No wind. No movement. It breeds all kinds of yucky stuff.
But, now, the puddle is splashing! My husband came in for a polarity session the other day and I couldn't believe the change. Everything was moving and flowing and gurgling and twitching. He was still strong, but he wasn't stuck. He felt like a completely different person! I couldn't believe it. I still can't. All from raw food? It's truly unbelievable.

Saved By the Zucchini
We got back from our Thanksgiving trip late Saturday night and I hadn't made raw food in days. The raw chili we brought with us and a few salads here and there were all my husband needed given the Thanksgiving meal Thursday and the dinner in New York's Chinatown Friday. But by mid-afternoon Sunday I realized he was going to need something to eat.
I was completely unprepared. We hadn't been to the store in days. We had no meals planned. It was sort of like the first time I was pregnant. I read all the books about the baby (well, yes, it turned out to be two babies) growing inside me. But never read about what to do after they were born, like, you know, how to nurse them and all that. Granted, that was a bigger problem, but, still...
So, I looked in the fridge and found a lone zucchini in the bottom drawer. Then I remembered ... zucchini spaghetti! In the raw world, zucchini is the new pasta. Slice it long and thin and you have lasagna. Pull a spiraler through it and you have spaghetti. I didn't have a spiraler, but I did have a cheese grater and - voila - zucchini angel hair! Then I remembered the delicious raw lasagna we'd made a few weeks earlier. I didn't have time for lasagna, but I did have time for the sauce (made from tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes) and what would have been the "meat" layer (made from walnuts and sun-dried tomatoes). Put them together and you have instant "meat" sauce.
Slight confession: I used canned tomatoes, which are cooked before they're canned, in the sauce because we didn't have fresh. Oh well. Everything else was raw. AND it lasted for three days!
PS. Zucchini is now hanging out with lentils in the "foods-my-husband-used-to-dislike" club.
