Day 6 at the Kushi Institute

Yesterday I attended a class about Transition and discharge for level one and the teacher talked about that if you start experiencing constipation because of the new foods that one should go to the Kushi store and buy Barley Greens.  After the class I went running to the store because since I have been here that has been my complaint.  It has made me feel bloated, irritable, and out of sorts.  I didn't know if it would work because my Chinese herbs hadn't helped or my probiotic but I was willing to try anything.  I have to say it worked in less than 24 hours and I feel a lot better.  There are others who have been here for almost 5 days and are experiencing the same thing I did and I am passing around the Barley Greens to them too.
On a lighter note I was attending a shiatsu massage class today and I was fortunate enough to be chosen to be the model that the teacher uses while the others are practicing.  The technique was a massage on the backside of the body using mostly your feet and then hands on the back.  It felt incredible and I can't wait to go home and try it on my family.
The other exciting thing that happened today was that I got to use my new knife.  I have to admit that I was a little scared after the gentleman I purchased it from told me that it was very sharp and then the Chef in the kitchen told me to to be very careful not to cut myself because it was very sharp that I tredged along very cautiously during the preparation of the meal.  I finally felt that I was feeling a little more confident with my new knife and at that moment the Chef said that the prep was done.  I will have to wait  till tomorrow to feel like one of those guys that cooks for you at the Japanese Kobe Steakhouse.
