Comments on: The Perfect Day Plan http://mysticmedusa.com/2009/11/17/the-perfect-day-plan/ Astrology and Horoscopes from Mystic Medusa Mon, 22 Mar 2010 08:20:25 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Jukebox Jook http://mysticmedusa.com/2009/11/17/the-perfect-day-plan/comment-page-1/#comment-41187 Jukebox Jook Sun, 22 Nov 2009 23:24:19 +0000 http://mysticmedusa.com/?p=9588#comment-41187 I love living the chi cycle and it has helped me tremendously. I've received many blessings from reading Jost's books and I appreciate his unique perspective and experience. However, I don't think rising early has specific relevance in an astrological sense. To say that rising early is like experiencing a new moon every day is misleading. A NEW MOON occurs when the Sun and Moon are in the same astrological sign, and this occurs once every four weeks, and not every morning. The period of the New Moon is an extremely Yin time ( a time of retreat, reflection, and restoration) and this differs dramatically from the Yang/ transformational energy of the Large Intestine time (5-7 am) that occurs during sunrise. The Rising Sign is a reference point on the eastern horizon and not a planet or sign. While it's true that each astrological sign does pass over the eastern horizon every two hours of the day, its purpose is to determine the starting point (risng sign) for an individual's BIRTH chart- its a demarcation point that grounds the signs in specific houses and determines the individual's ego (self-identity) and physical appearance. The sign rising with the sun is different every month, so there are 12 different signs that could be on the eastern horizon at any given sunrise. Only one of them is related to the Large Intestine/Colon (Scorpio). While being awake at 5am is great for many cosmic reasons, I don't see how we could be attuned in an astrological sense by being awake at an early hour. Perhaps I've misunderstood the original point.

I find most food prepared in restaurants has too much fat, salt etc etc. I eat only really lean red meat, fish and chicken as protein. Speaking of protein, it's your mainstay if you're hypoglycaemic (or for all of us really). It's essential to have some good quality protein at each meal as well as good oils and carbs (best from fruit and veg) in order to keep blood sugar stable. Fibre is also really useful for this (even a teaspoon of psyllium in a glass of water if you need to eat something which will release a fair bit of sugar (such as grains - full of sugar). Agree with you about no one diet being right for everyone but there are some general rules that can apply for most. Depends so much on your digestive ability and activity level. Ah, food - my favourite topic... hey, SR, agree with you about lamb – I find it intolerable these days; it’s really rich (I guess lots of saturated fat).

To be honest it would probably naturally takes top spot on my fave toast list anyway. Will be seeking out your book this weekend. I've been making my own emotional discoveries as I've introduced more regular weights into my life...and would agree wholeheartedly about processing and releasing memory through this. Happy Birthday Jost, for where ever you fall on the Scorp calendar. I’d be happy to adhere to a sourdough rye toast breakfast regime.
