Let Go of the Pain

Let Go of the Pain

14 Day Cleanse and Detox successfully completed…  phew.  My energy is incredible, my body has not felt this light in years, AND I am very grateful to not be on the “cleanse schedule.”  It was another awesome experience and I am already planning the next.  Why?  Because I had the most incredible experience ever.  As many of you know, I broke my foot in January of 2011 and two days later was in a motorbike crash where my leg was trapped under the bike.  I was incredibly lucky as my injuries were miniscule compared to what could have been.  Since the original accidents, I re-injured twice pushing my body beyond its limits due to impatience.  It has been a long road of recovery filled with many, many opportunities for growth and introspection.  I share this because for nearly two years now, I have not been able to run or move freely without pain.  Even more debilitating than the pain has been the FEAR of future pain if I move and distrust in self and knowing my limits.  I have gone running a few times for short intervals that were filled with fear and hesitation.  Each time my body felt incredibly heavy and foreign.  Ten days into the cleanse, I experienced a small miracle.  My body spontaneously and naturally broke out into a jog in response to needing to cross a street quickly.  There was no thought involved, it was like a small child running between houses while trick-or-treating.  I had no idea what was happening until about ten seconds in when suddenly I realized I was running free of any fear and free of all pain.  Even better, my body felt strong and light like it did twenty years ago.  It had finally let go of the pain and trapped trauma.  I ran for ten minutes in this new skin as tears of happiness streamed out my eyes and into the wind.  Exhilaration.  While I cannot say this was all the work of the cleanse, what I can say is that I KNOW it definitely made a contribution.  The fact of the matter is, the toxic emotions and thoughts associated with the injuries were trapped in my body.  Old energy was lingering and finally ready to release.  The lightness created in my body, staying disciplined with the schedule and my nutrition choices, and committing to taking responsible for my health built and continues to build incredible courage and confidence.  This then gets channeled into all areas of my life as I continue to re-claim my personal power.  This is why I continue to stay dedicated to the process.  The payout is worth it.  But this is my path and not right for everyone.   

Don’t just take my word for it.  Marla Martenson, a Los Angeles based Author and Matchmaker that joined me in the process shares her experience in a recent article:  “I recently did a two week detox to clean out environmental toxins from my body. It was amazing to clear out the caffeine and alcohol too. I am sleeping better, am much calmer,  and even my relationship with my husband is better because I am not a nervous wreck and don’t react like I used to when he says something irritating.”  You can read more here.  

I share this because many continually ask me what they can expect while on a cleanse, and so I want to share honestly my experience.  It is not all rose colored glasses.  As I mentioned, it takes discipline and courage to face emotions and thought patterns that come forward.  But like I said, it is all worth it in the end.  Next week I will write about a wonderful insight that came forward, but this is all for now.

With full inspiration and excitement, I announce my first Los Angeles based retreat:  the Weekend Wellness Workshop Nov. 17th and 18th.  While I have been teaching these in other countries on the other side of the globe, finally we are launching this series here in LA.  It is going to be a weekend filled with life-changing tools, information and practices to take home and apply immediately in your daily life for optimal physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being.  Meditation.  The Subconscious Mind.  Nutrition.  Yoga.  All set in the Malibu canyons.  The purpose of the retreat is to send you out the door self-sufficient so you do not have to look outside yourself for solutions to overcome stress, find courage and confidence, create inner peace, personal happiness, and optimize physical vitality.  Please check out our site for more information and email if you have any questions.

As always, sending BIG LOVE out to each and everyone of you!  Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help you along on this awesome journey!
