Detox your mind and you body:)

Have you ever wanted one whole week to yourself to cleanse your mind, your spirit and your body?

I would say and hope that most of you would answer YES to that question.

The human body amazes me, the amount of crap it has to deal with everyday just to keep us "ticking along" is incredible. I am reminded of this every time I go to Thailand to do a cleanse/detox.

I want to share my experience on doing a cleanse because I believe we should all do it at least once in our life time. So many people walk around in denial or oblivious to the fact that their insides are struggling to keep up with the constant work it has to do to try and keep you alive.

Did you know that eating unhealthy food, smoking, drinking, pollution, not washing your veggies to name a few, are all key factors in thickening our blood and making it congested. Toxins from our blood then move into our Lymph fluid because it is less concentrated. This means that you have toxins flowing freely around your body to your lymph nodes, this is how people get sick and a MAJOR cause of cancers.

When you abstain from food the blood starts to thin after 8 hours. Once the blood gets thinner than the lymph fluid, it naturally draws the toxins into the blood stream and the body can begin the process of self healing and elimination.

Many people just don't get it!!!! Why do we work so hard to look great on the outside, why do we pay for cosmetic surgery to look and feel better on the outside and we will willingly neglect the most important part, our internal organs!!!!!

Will your hot bod keep you alive... NO.. It is that simple...

Even the healthiest of people need to be aware that there could be a lot more going on on the inside than you think..

Do you have trouble sleeping?

Do you get tired a lot?

Do you suffer from mild head aches?

Are you always hungry?

You may not want to hear this but you could be harbouring parasites if you answered yes to any of those questions. It is SO common for us to be carrying parasites we don't even know that they are there.. Parasites will take all of your nutrients from the food you are eating. Again if you eat clean this can still occur as they you can get them from the soils that your veggies grow in. You can get them from your pets, from the gym and from drinking water- No one is safe from these buggers!!!

A cleanse/detox process will set you back on the right track and help you overcome any issues you have or may not even know you have.

That is the serious side of a cleanse, I just really want to get the message out to you of the importance and the reason behind needing to do a cleanse. The first step is to really understand that you only have one body and you need to give it an overhaul every once in a while, it is just like taking your car to the mechanic:)

On a detox you can go through all sorts of emotions, they not only cleanse your body but they can also cleanse your mind. If you have emotional baggage ( most of us do ) then this is a place you can escape to and try to conquer what ever it is that is holding you back. These wellness centres offer so much support and many healing services that I can guarantee afterwards, you will walk out of there so much lighter. Every time I do a cleanse I learn something new about myself and always break down barriers that are only holding me back in life.

I suggest that if you decide to do a cleanse that you do it alone. Don't come with your best friend or your partner, it is definitely something you need to do alone. You want to make sure that the only person you need to worry about is you. It is very easy and safe to travel to Thailand and the retreats offer you all the support and help you need. All you need to do is get on the plane, they pick you up at the other end and from that moment you are in their care.

A typical day at a health and wellness center includes Yoga, tai chi, meditation, wellness and health talks, walks, 2 x colema's, a massage of your choice and a thai steam. All of this is included in your programme. They have a gym if you want to work out and they offer fitness classes with a trainer also. I don't use the gym at all while I am there, I am all about resting, this is my time to stop moving and let my body recover.

They also offer all sorts of natural treatments such as spiritual readers, reiki, osteo's, beauty treatments, you name it, they do it! (These are all extras that do cost you)

In your down time you are free to do what you like whether it is go to the beach, go out and have a look around the island (you can hire scooters) or you are free to just laze by the pool and relax. The resorts are so peaceful and really do take you out of your normal head space. The staff are very chilled out and you are free to do as you please.

They give you all your supplements that you have to take everyday along with a schedule so you know what to take and when.

Daily on a full fast they give you:

4 x Physilliym husk shakes

2 x coconut juices

Herbal tea's

Vegetable Broth

All the vitamins and minerals your body needs to get through the day

Plus you have to drink water like no body's business (you feel like you are weeing every 5 mins..lol)

I know it sounds crazy that you can survive on only that, but trust me, you can and you don't even feel hungry. It is all about your mind set. I think we all think about food too much and our whole lives revolve around food and what will I eat next. If you take food out of your head space it gives you some serious time to think about you and life, it is hard to fathom and really is tough at times, but it is so worth it!!

I am not good at stopping life and standing still, I live life on in every sense of the word, but I cant emphasize the importance of allowing yourself time to rest. Rest your mind and rest your body. I can guarantee that when you leave the retreat you will feel like a new person, a new and improved version of yourself.

I hope I have inspired you to take a flying leap do something out of the ordinary.. Take yourself away from the madness and DO IT!! Create the change today that will not only keep you ticking along longer, but it will change your life forever!!!
