Re: New Member...
Neon,
I'm so glad to hear from someone in "the old country." I was born in Hungary and have a fascination for that whole area. Is there an active mb group where you live? - I know there is in Hungary.
Also are you familair with Mina (Milenka) Dobic - she's from Yugoslavia and has a wonderful healing story which she wrote up - "My Beautiful Life." But I'm sorry, I don't know if she ever goes back - I believe she's now in the San Diego (California) area.
I'm far from an expert on the body scrub - tho I have also read for body to be red - I don't believe that's the crucial point. I think just the massaging and moving energy around it what matters. I also heard that it isn't really a SCRUB, but should be more gentle, that's why I also wrote rub.
I was told the entire rub should take like 5 - 10 minutes - Sarrett1, yes Jessica Porter does talk about the body (s)rub, p. 176-7, she says body should be pink, also says 5 - 10 minutes. and gives more details. What I don't quite get, is the water I use doesn't stay that hot - I don't even know if that matters or not.
Sarrett1, you sound like you do have a good start - you do recognize what can be let go from your diet. That's great. If you do decide to spend the money it's a tough choice - David Briscoe is high on my list of amazing people - you can see some of his wisdom here on a chat that he lead - also if you can get some Macrobiotic Today magazines, I'm sure he's had quite a few articles there. otoh, I don't think anything substitutes for learning in person with someone, both from your point of view and also from the counselor's being able to read you. Tough choice. Just want you to know though that it's not the end of the road - learning goes on as long as you're serious about mb - not always with (formal) teachers but just because you become more conscious of everything and look at things in a new way. Also if you're not ready to spend $300 dollars, there may be other options - but personally jumping in for a 30-day deep end sounds wonderful. Sounds like it would have a strong effect.
