Christmas in Tokyo is some what of a copied holiday and none of the traditional rules that the Christian world might run by really apply, at least not in our house. This year I am giving my body, spirit and soul a banquet like no other. Yesterday was the first day of my pre cleanse period of an 8 day Colon Cleanse formulated by
Blessed Herbs, followed by a full 21 day internal cleanse. So I am looking forward to a festive feast of organic apple juice, pure water, ginger root, aloe vera leaf, fennel seed among a wildly wonderful collection of goodness.
The 8 day colon cleanse requires me to fast. I was mildly anxious the night before last worrying about whether or not I would be hungry, want to break my fast in an unhealthy way or be unable to stomach the toxin absorber five times a day. But I have been pleasantly surprised so far at how tasty and filling the Blessed Herbs have been.
Friends have asked me why I would deprive myself. The thing is I see it as the exact opposite. This is not deprivation. Deprivation to me is what I have been doing in my past, depriving myself of pure and clean insides and thoughts. Living in Tokyo is one big roller coaster ride and while I maintain a vegetarian diet I have still been ingesting toxins through other animal products in foods that I lazily eat, the sugars that I crave and the polluted environment in general. I choose to live in this fulfilling city so I must make an extra effort to leave it's toxins on the outside.
This cleanse marks a time for me to make a stand! We often drift along in life, drifting can be wonderful but it catches up with you when you hit the big seas. I am so ready to sail the monster waves but I have my fearful, drifty past holding me back from paddling out! So it is time to let go of my past. Who wants to wade in the wee pool when they could be on top of the waves with the best of them. Hand in hand we are waxing up and headed for the life giving tsunami, nothing less will do!
I am no longer a product of my past, I refuse to be a victim of my genes, I break all negative cycles that have ever flowed through my life, family and body.
I have carried
You Can Heal Your Life by
Louise Hay around in my back pocket like some sort of bible for years but truthfully never used it, really used it in the way it was intended. Today I feel compelled to open it and it's magic all makes so much sense to me now, like the feeling you get when a new language clicks, a hoop trick is mastered, you first learn to drive a manual car without skipping down the road like a kangaroo.
I am willing to release the pattern in my consciousness that has created this condition.
I am alive with the joys of living. I deserve the very best in life. I love and accept myself just the way I am. I am happy. I am free. I am loving. I am loved.
As I release the past the new, fresh and vital enter. I allow life to flow through me.
Thank You
I love you

p.s I had booked a place at The Spa Samui to do this detox but other exciting opportunities arose. I am sad not to be on the beach but I am happy to be doing the cleanse in my own way, under my own terms and with my own toilet ;p
