Life After the 10 day detox….

This is just a brief post to note some of the positive aspects of having done a short and sweet 10-dayer….

As I have already noted, this was not the ultimate cleanse experience.  Having done a longer and more difficult detox a year ago, I feel as though this was icing on the cake.  However, this version has merit.  One, it was easy to do.  The protein smoothies were good and satisfying and since I could have all the veggies I could eat (green variety) with an avocado,  a yam and a cup of quinoa a day, I had no problem finding things to eat and again, was satisfied and didn’t feel restricted, the bane of existence for any dieter/detoxer.  Two, I am sure that for people who regularly eat in a less than healthy manner (too much, too sweet/fried/too fast etc), that even this short 10 day period would provide them with positive results.  The Ka Formula website has cardiologists, other medical doctors and patients all presenting the benefits from lowered cholesterol and/or blood pressure, weight loss, improved digestion and/or sleep, and all around feeling better.  My results were ok: I felt lighter,  which is good, but one of the most surprising aspects for me was that the detox in creating a lightness also I feel helped open up my pineal gland/ 3rd eye.

I did this detox intentionally so it would end before the fall equinox (9/22/10) which is when I had planned a little personal retreat to Mt. Shasta.  I must say, that I experienced a certain ease in everything and that my meditations were more peaceful and my intuition seemed to guide me better!

Mt Shasta was a great experience, by the way, and I whole heartedly recommend this oasis as a great point of destination for an individual, couple or group.  I will write more about that trip soon, but I would love to hear about any of your detox experiences, positive and negative.   Each springtime I always do a presentation on detoxing and I like to offer tips to my patients and to the people who come to hear these talks.  A big factor is how to make it EASY and effective, and with these goals in mind, I think that my 10er receives good marks in both areas.  But everything is relative, so I would like to know YOUR experience.  What worked, what didn’t, and what do YOU want  as far as result?  Please I would love to hear about it!

Hope you are able to enjoy this beautiful weather!

Love and Light,
