Why do I believe in a cleanse? First, it
is a way for your body to recharge, rejuvenate, and renew. The word cleanse
stems from the word clean. Therefore a cleanse will clear your pipes,
and “clean” your cleansing organs along
with laying down a foundation of new healthy flora for your gut (just as a
gardener lays down nutrient rich soil). Once you embrace a state of food
consciousness which encompasses a mostly whole food/plant based eating plan, a
cleanse prepares your body to fully absorb and receive Mother Nature’s bounty more
than if you did not make the choice to journey on a cleanse.
Second, a cleanse is much more than a
nutritional body cleaning, it is also a spiritual experience. I recommend
either a 4 or 7 day cleanse of ingesting only whole/raw plant foods and plants
in freshly blended juices, smoothies, soups, salads, or raw state. A conscious
cleanse may bring up emotional and soul
level layers that require your attention to go to your center, use meditation, and
utilize energy healing tools. Feel your feelings fully….you may want to journal
what comes up for you and the food combinations that excited this
transformation. Explore and love what is awakening in you, as your cleanse may
feel difficult to complete because your mind may play games with you by trying
to interfere with the process and make you feel uncomfortable. As with most
spiritual experiences, your cleanse will connect you deeply with your body,
mind, and soul which offers you improved energy, mental clarity, and anchoring
to your God-self. Cleansing has the potential to awaken your body to heal on
many levels. Almost every religion has some type of fasting or cleansing ritual
– Lent, Ramadan, Yom Kippur, and the Buddhists and Hindus as these spiritual
teachings recognize purification within starts with food energy.
A body cleanse is an ancient practice of
the Egyptians and the Greeks. They would target specific organs that can
putrefy and produce toxins and then utilize a cleanse with plants to purify the
body and detoxify cellular accumulations that would otherwise harm the body.
Our bodies naturally cleanse every day. It is a normal process that goes on
within the cleansing organs of the skin, colon, liver, lymphatic system, and
lungs. These systems and organs perform functions on our behalf every second of
the day just as our heart beats without any thought given to that physical
miracle beating in our chests. However, modern life and the tribal mind of
socially conditioned eating interferes with our natural cleanse, hindering what
our bodies truly deserve. Pollutants, chemicals, and other synthetic substances
have burdened our natural cleansing system with more than it can handle. Therefore,
the body has made an adjustment of storing these toxins in body fat, which is
stored in a manner outside the regular elimination system, so we do not get
poisoned. As you can imagine, these adjustments our bodies make because of our unconscious
choices are not good for our health in the long run.
You are what you eat….and what you have
eaten and not eliminated! Animal foods and animal products such as beef, pork,
chicken, turkey, fish, shellfish, milk, dairy products, and eggs all create
acidic blood. Other foods that affect your cleansing organ systems are: sugar
and sugar substitutes, baked goods, processed and fast foods, soft drinks and
sports drinks, alcohol, coffee, prescription drugs and recreational drugs,
cigarettes and other forms of tobacco. A conscious cleanse relieves the body of
the stagnation that is created with foods that metabolize acidicly and elevates
the soul with clean pure energy from Mother Natures bounty.
