A New Year Detox
There have been years that I partied my butt off and years when I quietly meditated. One of the most powerful ways for me to bring in the New Year, has been with a detox. For me, the best detox has included:
- A 5 day fast (that lasted 4.5 days)
- A 2 hour massage (that opened me up to about 10 minutes of sobbing)
- A facial (that has made me look 10 years younger! Or so my extra kind and slightly brainwashed children keep telling me!)
The result?
Overall it was a humbling time because the releasing of toxins into my system made me feel physically and emotionally fragile.
Some details.
Not a pound was lost during the fast but I regained an almost hyper awareness of my body. Similar to when I was a dancer. Very interesting and unexpected.
At times, my ego got the best of me. I was short tempered and even rude. An awesome thing occurred though, I found myself in a place of submission and then… total quiet. I realized that at times in my desire to keep my ego in check, I didn’t really listen to what it was trying to say. I didn’t hear it screaming to preserve it’s basic desire for security, love or self esteem. So, while I decided not to become an egocentric beast, I did become determined to look for the highest forms of communication and thinking. Even the ones that seem covered in the soot of my darkest mind…
Finally, I will say that I felt spiritually invigorated and was excited to continue my quest for knowledge and peace. And as always, thrilled to share my findings with clients and friends.

Hi Angel thank you for sharing my Tai chi Teacher would often fast he could hear his spiritual guiders quite clear when he did as when we are living in the modern world we close ourselves off from listening of what they want to teach us.PEACE
So true Samiam! Many spiritual practices around the world include fasting for closer proximity to the divine.
