Cleansing the body is a tradition that is thousands of years old and spans many cultures and continents. It is a foundational element of a healthy mind and body. Cleansing through fasting and spa treatments has long been the best way to activate the body's own healing ability.
The ancient Egyptians wrote about cleansing herbs like aloe, senna and wormwood. In Europe there are healing hot springs that have been used for over a thousand years, drawing people to come and recover from what ails them. In the North America, the Native Americans have many traditions that cleanse the mind and body including the sweat lodge. In the Old Testament, the Israelites used fasting as a way to cleanse themselves from sin and draw nearer to God. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a fasting diet is used to compound the effectiveness healing protocols. This is a time old tradition that has been lost in our fast paced culture that is built on instant gratification. A cleansing regimen takes time, preparation and involves denying yourself of certain things you may love. It sometimes makes you uncomfortable, but any temporary discomfort gives way to incomparable breakthrough. I invite you to step into the ancient wisdom of cleansing your body. After my first cleanse I was so excited to share what I had experienced with everyone I knew. I felt like I was gifted a new body, mindset and energy. It is now something I do at least twice a year, and look forward to this sacred time with great anticipation. I know that once you experience the renewal that comes with restricting diet, papering yourself with easy DIY spa treatments, and focusing on God and His will for your life, you too will feel that excitement! Now you have a choice to make. Embark with me on a journey of going deeper, getting healthier, and giving your wonderful body a reboot. Or, continue life as is, possibly just getting by, and push the idea back for another time. But I challenge you to go for it; if is something you have thought of doing, or resonates with you, I bet it will be the best thing you do for yourself all year!
