28 Days Past & Still Cleansing
Yesterday, I completed the 28 day cleanse...with honor roll! It was incredible and I am so proud of myself!!
The final week was absent of food yet filled with vegetable juice, mineral broth and lots of psyllium and bentonite shakes. I had enough energy that week to deliver 2 NGY Teacher Trainings, teach 7 kids Yoga classes, 1 NGY Birthday Party, recieve 2 colonics, a coffee enema, daily beach walks with Chants and lots of lovin with my lover. Amazing, I think!
What I loved most about the cleanse is how the toxins and what wasn't naturally part of me poured out of every part of my body, mind and spirit. Early on in the cleanse, David said he smelled THC in my underarms. Through out the weeks, my teeth felt sore and had a coating on them. Daily, my thighs were achy as that muscle correlates with the large intestine. At times, I was emotionally sensitive and irritable...because perhaps letting go of my "sh*t" was challenging for me.
Most impressive is what came out of my intestines, I'm talking major mucoid plaque - pretty much the reason for doing an intestinal cleanse. Ill admit that while I didn't take any photos (David did of his), I did relate to many of the pics I found online. Enjoy at your own risk!
BTW - even though I have completed the 28 days cleanse...this week I remain on an alkaline diet and am still releasing the lovely mucoid plaque!

Entering week 3 of the Arise & Shine 28 Day Cleanse, I am just starting to feel layers shed. I am not just talking about releasing mucous from bi-weekly colonics which are crazy intense, but also the many emotions that I am feeling. I embrace it all, am free from attachment and surrender to all that is.
During the past 3 months I have experienced huge changes in my life including one that I am extremely proud of. I mindfully weaned myself off an anti-depressant, that I was on & off for the past 10 years. I am committed to feeling all that comes up, vs. numbing myself with medication. I know I have the tools to channel fears and negative emotions, which include daily meditation, yoga, connecting with nature, journaling, open and conscious communication and surrounding myself with high vibration people and environments. I am so grateful to be in this space and embrace all that I arises. I share this with you now, because I am feeling and I am psyched! This is what happens during an intensive cleanse.
What also happens is...David & I go to Glen Ivy Hot Springs. Amongst the steams, saunas and swims in the mineral baths...we got down & dirty in Club Mud with red clay which is a yummy purifying agent from ancient times. A total sensory experience, it draws from the pores, absorbs impurities, and releases waste and dead skin cells while tightening and revitalizing the skin. Definitely a highlight for me, I loved globing on the mud and playing like child. Who me? YES ME!
