We all have stuff in there whether its toxins from food, pollution, or cleaning products, etc. it is trying to let go. Also keep in mind it could be toxins from emotional trauma and baggage. To help let it all go try this simple meditation. Remember to be gentle with yourself and appreciate what you are doing and who you are!
In the past when I have done juice cleanses, I have found a new awareness about myself, something that I can do to strengthen myself. I have also achieved a stronger sense of my spirituality. I have found more awareness of my purpose here on earth and a greater connection with God. I encourage you to take a few minutes everyday to meditate on your greater awareness. What are you looking for in life? What is your passion? Are you doing the same thing every day and expecting a different result?
For today's meditation, we turn east to Tao Te Ching,
The Book of the Way, where we learn...
I have just three things to teach: Simplicity,
patience, compassion. These three are your
greatest treasures. Simple in actions and in
thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies, you
accord with the way things are. Compassionate
toward yourself, you reconcile all beings in
the world.
Great peace will be yours once you bring simplicity, patience, and compassion into your life by meditating on them.
How do you do that?
It's easy. Sit back quietly, slow down, breathe deeply, hold, relax, let go.
Repeat three times.
Then... breathe simplicity into your life. Hold. Relax and breathe out the things that are complicating your life and making you unhappy.
Use the same technique with patience and compassion or whatever it is that you are searching for.

Skin Brushing!
When you do Skin Brushing, you help your Lymph System to clean itself of the toxins that collect in the Lymph Glands. You use a simple technique to improve the surface circulation on the skin and keep the pores of the skin open, encouraging your body's discharge of metabolic wastes, and resulting in an improved ability to combat bacteria, plus helping your skin to look and feel healthier and more resilient!
Benefits:
~tightens skin.
~helps digestion.
~removes cellulite.
~stimulates circulation.
~increases cell renewal.
~cleans lymphatic system.
~removes dead skin layers.
~strengthens immune system.
~stimulates the glands, thus helping all of the
body's systems to perform at peak efficiency!
How to do skin brushing:
~Buy a natural, not synthetic, bristle brush, so it will not irritate the surface of your skin.
~Buy a brush with a long handle so that you can get to the areas of your body that are difficult to reach.
~Skin brush before showering or bathing at least once per day, and twice if possible.
~Do not wet your skin because skin stretches when wet.
~Do light strokes over and around your breasts, but do not brush the nipples.
~Brush each part of your body several times vigorously, completely brushing your whole body.
~Brush the soles of your feet first, because the nerve endings there affect your whole body, next brush your ankles, calves, and thighs, then brush across your stomach and your buttocks and lastly brush your hands to your arms.
~Always skin brush towards the heart.
~Do circular counter-clockwise strokes on your abdomen.
~Take a warm bath or shower, which should always be followed by a cool rinse at the end to invigorate blood circulation. If you don't have time for a bath or shower, do a hot towel scrub by running a washcloth under very hot water and scrubbing your entire body. This feels AMAZING! I do it in the morning.
*Wash your brush every few weeks in water and allow it dry.
Try making a delicious salsa and put it on a bed of arugula!
Try to stay warm, drink lots of herbal tea, I love red raspberry leaf, it has tons of vitamins in it! Stinging nettle is great also, it gives you energy!
Here's a quick light and nutritious smoothie for a quick snack:
2 really ripe pears
1 bunch parsley
Blend together. YUM.
