Happy Spring Equinox!!!

 

 

Bright Lights, Spring Cleansing

 

This is the time of re-emergence. The sun's rays change direction onto Earth, bringing us more light, warmth, and energy.


Just like plants, bears coming out of hibernation, and butterflies, we push out from our protective winter shells. We respond and re-awaken.

 

This can feel like a mountain to overcome, transforming back to a  more loose, free and faster pace of Springtime.

 

It can be difficult to let go, change, grow and loosen back up. 

 

Sometimes we need a little brushing off of the "dust" that settled in during

the stillness.

How can we nudge this re-awaking process?

 

~

One way to clear away some of the cobwebs, some of the "extra" that we may have accumulated to help us get through the cold  is to engage in a "Cleanse" for the body and Spirit!

~

 

An ideal Cleanse is like "weeding your garden", making room for all of the new beauties you would like to plant. It is getting rid of anything that isn't serving you anymore, and fortifying what you DO want to thrive and flourish in your garden... in you Life.

 

Why Cleanse?

 

Annual Cleansing helps detox and purify the body of built-up residues and chemicals that  affects the Liver, and compacted fecal matter in the intestines.

 

Everyone has heard by now of the negative impacts of toxic build-ups in the body! 

 

 Cleansing can also help get rid of emotional imbalances and energetic stagnation that can make us feel emotionally "heavy", sad, depressed, lethargic, or even out of touch with the present moment and reality.

 

When we lighten up, there are many benefits:

 

 

organs and cells function more efficiently

more complete elimination

more mental clarity

better sexual functioning

better sleep  

deeper breathing

more flexibility/ less aches/ pains

fit into clothes better

more longevity and better quality of time on Earth

Dr. Sankey's 7-Day Malic Acid Cleanse

 

(Please ask me if you would like more history of this cleanse, and why Malic Acid is used).

 

 This Cleanse targets the Liver and Gallbladder,  detoxing and moving what no longer is serving us.

 

This Cleanse also softens gallstones and gets rid of old bile, encouraging more movement in the digestive system. 

 

This 7-Day Cleanse is quite easy! 

 

Cleanse Directions:

 

For the first 6 days:

 

Take 1 Malic Acid pill (500mg each) 3X/day (with or without food)

 

On eve of 6th day:

 

At 6 PM:

 

take 1 TBSP epsom salts dissolved in 1/2 cup warm H2O

 

At 8:00 PM: 

 

repeat

 

At 10:00 PM:

 

take 1/2 cup (organic) grapefruit juice with 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil

(1st cold pressed, organic)

 

On morning of 7th day:

 

(before eating) 

 

Take another 1 TBSP of epsom salts in 1/2 cup warm H2O 

 

2 hours later:

 

repeat 

 

You will be increasing eliminations during the morning.

 

Stay close to a bathroom for a few hours.

 

(You may see "sand"-like

BM's which is evidence that old bile and residues in the Gallbladder have moved out). 

 

Give yourself time and gentleness for this process.

WHAT TO EAT DURING THIS CLEANSE?

 

Fewer PROTEINS during Cleansing is best

 

(Proteins slow down digestion, and thus slow down the detox process, potentially making you feel worse during the Cleanse).

 

Focus on lightly-steamed veggies, brown rice, and broth-based soups to aid in elimination.

 

 Animal products are OK if your body needs this, but try to reduce as much as possible.

 

I eat eggs and vegetables for breakfast, and salmon for dinner occasionally during tis Cleanse. Cod is another good fish to have during this time.

 

Increase GREEN foods (spirulina, chlorella, dark leafy greens.)

 

Raw salads and veggies are good IF your digestive system likes raw foods and can completely digest them.

 

Avoid foods that come out of packaging/ processed

 

Reduce or eliminate sugar, alcohol, and  wheat products (noodles, breads, wheat crackers, etc).
