I'd been feeling the need to get off the caffeine merry-go-round and balance my energy somehow so that I could be more effective in my non-profit work, as well as my career and personal life. When I found out Adina was leading a cleanse at Cafe Gratitude, I signed right up even though it meant an hour and a half drive, each way, for five days. During the cleanse I experienced a sense of release on every level physically, emotionally and spiritually. I lost weight, which was great, but that wasn't the best part. By the fifth day, my values and purpose came into sharp relief. I was clear about my purpose to help heal the planet. My communications with other people became much more direct and loving as I began to feel more connected to everyone around me. I'd never seen the connection between diet and the state of my relationships (as well as the state of the world) with so much clarity. And I realized that what I brought into my body and the lifestyle I chose were the keys to maintaining the level of clarity and peace I had found. It was an extremely intense, but enjoyable, learning experience that will influence the rest of my life. Rachel. L The Urban Revitalizer Cleanse gave me a lot more appreciation for the complexity of the human body. We might be able to operate on the outside edges of balance for a long time and get by okay. But I've slowly realized that this body is the only place my soul gets to live on this earth. It makes an incredible difference when I simply give my body the basics it needs on a consistent basis, and not stress it with junk. I like ice cream and the occasional piece of cake just like every one else and the homemade chips from my local French cafe are a real treat but it's all about moderation and keeping things in balance. It's so much easier to live in balance than I ever imagined. When I paid attention to putting high-quality, highly nutritious foods into my system, I got a clear and energized. From there, I could see that the same thing goes for the other things you bring into your life toxic thoughts, beliefs or people bring you down, while positive ones nurture, enrich and nourish you. I will definitely do this again I think of it as my personal spring cleaning! |
