Part 1: 7 Tools for Cleaning Out Your Life
Today we are going to talk about the actual dietary/bodily things
you can do when you need that extra cleansing.
Heidi and I are in the process of giving everything a massive
cleanse. Over at my site right now, I've been getting really deep
into this intense process that I'm coining Extreme Cleaning. If you
want to get past the uselessness of New Years Resolutions, Spring
Cleaning, and all that rhetoric that only lasts one week out of the
year, it's time to get into this process Now, which is the only time
that exists and get yourself to that squeaky clean point you've
always wanted to be at.
Does Your Diet Suck? Is Your Body Full of Soot?
Alright, so last time we talked about some awesome tools for
cleaning out your life and we discussed how your physical
surroundings are tied into your internal emotional and internal body
energies.
Don't just think of this as some sort of New Age claptrap, get out
of all those labels and just go with it. Do the ultimate in science
claptrap: do an experiment and see the results.
I guarantee you that if you clean your inner body, you will either
be inspired to clean your outer environment and/or you'll see
incredible changes just happen around you and in your life. You'll
see it in those around you, too. Be wary though, doing this can stir
up some of your negative emotions and equally negative circumstances
can reel their ugly head and you'll have to deal with them. We
recommend reading Raw Emotions, by Angela Stokes to get the skinny
on some of these more than useful emotional tools.
Now that we've got that all cleared up, here are some excellent
tools for furthering your next level of internal (bodily) cleansing:
Juice Feasting - An incredible tool for internal cleansing without
needing to fast on water flat on your back in a bed for weeks while
an expert watches over you. Juice Feast, cleanse, and get on with
your life. Check it out over at JuiceFeasting.com.
Raw Food - Yes, even eating all or mostly raw can be very cleansing.
Some consider raw food a cleansing diet, in and of itself. Do you
need to cut down on nuts? Increase your superfoods? Start eating
more organic? The possibilities are endless. Look at your diet and
see where you can improve. You may experience a cleansing reaction
immediately.
Enemas/Colon Cleansing - While the word is still out on these
practices, many find them very physically and emotionally cleansing.
With all the chemicals and toxins we are constantly exposed to, a
little "lower house cleaning" may be in order for you. Matt Monarch
over at The Raw Food World has some cool colon cleansing tools you
could get if you are interested. Matt is an expert on colon
cleansing, and his blog usually has some interesting question and
answer sessions about colonics, so check it out if you're
interested.
Trying something entirely new - Sometimes just trying something new
will get the flow back into your life. Maybe you eat a lot of fruit
and have never tried superfoods. Maybe you use a lot of agave nectar
and it's time to try a low-glycemic diet. Maybe you've cleaned up
your candida and haven't had sweet fruit in years, add a tiny amount
of fruit into your diet. Again, the possibilities here are literally
endless. You may just need to change something up to get to that
next level.
Packaged Cleanses - There are tons of 'em: Parasite cleanses, EJUVA,
7 Day Cleanses, pick one out and give it a shot.
Greens - It seems like we can always use more greens in our diets.
You hear it everywhere; green smoothies, green juices, more greens
greens greens greens. Haven't done much juicing? Start juicing
greens. Don't like green smoothies? Give them a second try. Hate
making salads? I could go on...
Let go of that one thing... - You know which one. It's that burrito
you can't stop eating, despite your nearly ideal diet. It's that can
of soda you have at work when you're stressed. Clean the bottom of
your diet out to raise your top. Find out what your worst food is
and let it go. You can still eat the other stuff that you know isn't
good for you, just get rid of the worst one. You will feel so much
better about yourself and your body will thank you.
There are endless ways to cleanse, clean, and rejuvenate.
In fact, there are lots of people out there that always seem to be
on some sort of "cleanse". It's healthy to have a good view on this
cleansing thing. You can end up depleting yourself of minerals and
energy if you cleanse too much. Be soft and gentle. Your body can
only do so much at once.
