Greetings
Friend,
I am so glad
that you decided to take this journey with me this month. These past few days I
have noticed a big difference already. I am sleeping better, have more energy
when I wake up in the morning. I feel more energized throughout the day and
during my workouts. My overall mood is better and I have lost a couple of
pounds already. How cool is that?
Some things you might experience
You might
experience some headaches the first few day. It depends on how toxic your body
was before you started the fast.
Yesterday I
experienced a headache after I got home from my workout. I remembered what
Queen Afua wrote in Sacred Woman about
experiencing detox headaches when one first start a fast. The key is not to
panic. Know that this too shall pass, just drink plenty of water and get some
rest. It will pass, leaving you feeling energized and clear.
If you are
feeling tired or achy the first few days again that is normal. Your body will
go through a detox period and it may be intense depending on how toxic your
body is. Again drink more water, eat more live foods to include raw almonds and
other nuts more often. Make sure you are eating enough. That can be one of my
challenges. However I can stay focused if I eat something every couple of
hours. An apple, orange, banana with natural almond butter for example.
Some remedies during the detox phase
Take baths-
yes in the bathtub for 15-20 minutes… Sometimes the shower is not enough
especially for women. Add sea or Epsom salt with your favorite essential oils. Some
women add whole cow’s milk to the bath water for extremely smooth and silky skin.
I will not be doing this during my fast only because what goes through the skin
is absorbed by the body. But that of course is completely up to you. This is
your fast so make sure that it fits your needs.
Exercise…Dance…Walk…Run…Move….
did I say DANCE!!!?
Make sure
you are drinking enough spring water. I cannot stress that enough.
Meditate…Take
some quiet time for yourself and focus on your breath. Start at 5 minutes then
make it longer until you reach 25-30 minutes.
Make sure to
drink at least one large glass of water in the morning before doing anything
else. This practice has many benefits.
