The translators story
I was raised on white bread n butter, milk-rice, and luckily veggies and I loved cheese-patisserie in the Hungarian capital. At the age of 14, in Styria then, I became a vegetarian along with two
classmates for ethical reasons during a class trip to Vienna. I fed myself a lot of lentils, tofu and beans for they said I needed a lot of protein. My aunt and her husband also went the
vegetarian path and at the age of 20 I started to work in a family associated organic bakery and food shop in Munich and of I was a lover of fresh bread and carrot juice. I wasn't satisfied so
much during my study and often felt underfed and adopted a rather unhealthy lifestyle, until a breakdown that brought me to a retreat, where I was being convinced to eat meat. I ended up refusing
food and drinks altogether (as a possible response to what I perceived as wrong) and after a period of illness I went back to a healthy vegetarian and more and more vegan lifestyle. In 2006 tried
four months being completely vegan in Berlin and felt extremely healed up and happy with that.
It was not until 2013, though there were vegan and even rawfoodist periods in my life before that that I decided completely to become a vegan, which path immediately, almost instantly, awakened
in me the thirst for raw food.
There was something special in this change and it completely transformed my life. After three weeks in India in 2014 where I had eaten loads of naturally preserved lovely prepared wonders of
vegan cooked/ baked food, upon returning to Europe I felt ready for letting it go altogether. I absolutely fell in love with Raw Health And Happiness, I always had a special excitement for
no-nonsense writings and the blog just read like one holy script to me - sticking to the suggestions made there my life has undergone major changes - I needed less sleep (I even tried polyphasic
sleep for a while), I developed a profound interest and love for Kundalini Yoga and Samadhi, and spent the winter after some weeks on raw till four on entirely 80-10-10 raw food, five months with
not even a tiny bit of anything cooked in the mountains and reached one of my big dreams of working in the glacier for two weeks, which was absolutely awesome on raw food (this beauty!).
Inner peace meets abundant nature
It was literally Heaven on Earth which unfortunately had to be tested on hard reality of city life, where I started experimenting with additional juice fasting, which led to the consumption of
occasionally cooked meals.
Writing this I absolutely go with the path described in this blog and in Dr. Douglas Grahams book (reading Frederic Patenaud's secrets was easy first but I wanted more) and while I don't use
devices often and might be more moving, "on the road", than the author of the blog, it's contents along with community support had so far fully have the capacity to set me free and on my own path
of freedom and wellbeing and healthy choices for my life.
I wish everyone the best and may you all find liberation in your own spark of inspiration.
