(Self) Love in the Fast(ing) Lane
Considering a fast or cleanse to rev up your energy levels, release stored junk in your trunk, disarm your inner warrior of its angry liver complex? Consider this as well. The potency of a good cleanse is well-worth the investment, time and self love you put into it. That’s right, I said self love!
It’s the best of times and the worst of times, cleansing and fasting. It’s the best because you become extra discerning of what substances you take into your inner temple, your body, and it can be the worst of times, albeit momentarily, because the power of a true cleanse not only moves residue out of your intestines, it removes obstacles out of your life! And that means people, habits and thoughts that aren’t serving you.
Fasting can be as simple as taking a day each week to enjoy only freshly prepared live juices. I recommend ones that are low in sugar and high on flavor, like spinach, green apple, celery, cucumber and lemon. Or give your body a rest from digesting by slurping up live young coconut water. Cleansing your insides is a process to systematically remove and release toxic build up out of your liver, gallbladder, intestines and other organs. Best to go well-prepared with excellent support and supplies that include fasting essentials to renew, rebuild and regenerate. The energy, clarity, and vitality you’ll gain make this experiment a grand one.
And be aware of how wonderful you are before you start your routine. Work with a kind, dedicated expert and professional like Keith Morey from Super Good Stuff. Keith gives expert know how to people right over the phone. And take the time to prepare an environment for yourself that welcomes you to release, relax, and renew yourself. Talk about your desires with people who share your living space and with those in your intimate circles so that you are supported and then, prepare to flush the outdated blueprints of self and relationship down the composting toilet!

This is a great post Gayla, I like that you allude to fasting’s emotional aspects as well. It’s not just physical, but you really do work through and remove a lot of stuck emotions too.

Great timing. I have been looking into programs in the Bay Area after a friend told me she felt amazing after a ten day cleanse (including colonic hydrotherapy). Came accross Transitions in Sonoma, and the Clear Center for Health in Mill Valley. Let you know how it works!

I just completed my 8th weekly 36-hour fast and I can’t imagine not fasting. It’s better than ANY cleanse I have ever done. Not only do I have a new relationship with food and water, but I am refreshed in spirit. Fasting really allows you to focus on yourself, your environment and become very conscious of every aspect with your life. In eight weeks, I have made serious life changes and I embrace them as I become closer and closer to my true self. This is what I have gained from fasting; good luck to you all!

It’s like you were reading my mind. Part of me has been wanting to do something but not feeling entirely committed. It’s nice to connect to all the reasons that I’m drawn to a cleanse. Thanks.
