The radical truth is that most of us live in pretty toxin-filled environments which easily and consistently find their way into our bodies through the air we breathe, the water we drink and the foods we eat — as well as into our minds through the media we consume, the social conditioning, societal “norms and expectations” to which we are subject and unconsciously programmed.

Many grocery store items and fast foods are filled with chemical additives that our bodies do not recognize or even know how to digest. Processed foods offer very little in the way of nutrition but can overload our system with chemically flavoured “dead” food which leave us hungry for more, bloated and generally feeling unwell as our bodies struggle to find balance.

Add to this pollution, toxic household cleaners, air "fresheners", toxic beauty & body products, a variety of drugs and medications, alcohol, commercial cigarettes or vapes, as well as the constant onslaught of harmful electromagnetic frequencies from wifi and electronics and our bodies cannot help but lose vitality, endurance, strength and health. 

Although our bodies are naturally designed to be self-cleaning, self-healing and know how to excrete these toxins, the sheer volume of toxins that the average person is exposed to daily (estimates of over 2000 - 5000 different chemicals per day) overwhelms the system and prevents healing and regeneration from naturally and regularly taking place. 

When the body is under stress (survival mode) and overwhelmed by toxic overload, it stores toxic waste products in our fat cells and cell membranes to protect itself and our vital organs. These toxins, however, must eventually circulate in the bloodstream, and if these toxins are not flushed from our systems, they can damage the protective intestinal lining and disrupt our ability to digest foods - causing bloat, discomfort and quite literally “corroding” our bodies from the inside out.

If this continues we become less able to uptake vital nutrients and minerals from the foods, vitamins and supplements we ingest. It becomes a vicious cycle during which our energy levels and mood declines causing us to further crave unhealthy foods and repeat unhealthy thought patterns. Eventually, this vicious cycle leads to a decline in our health and a pletora of dis-ease.

Similarly, when the nervous system is under chronic stress, the body cannot relax and we get caught in vicious cycles of unhealthy thought patterns causing our mental health to decline. We may blame ourselves for how we feel instead of clearly seeing the opportunities for relief and healing. Much research has been done to show direct correlation between the food we consume and brain health, anxiety, depression and mental health; similarly, much research exists to show the correlation between our thoughts and our health and attitude. A detox such as this one is a wonderful opportunity to learn how one may choose their thoughts anew, making healthier, conscious choices in thought that will positively affect the mind as well as body.

For these reasons it has become essential to detox, and explains why elimination is so important during a cleanse. As we reduce the amount of toxins in our bodies, our natural ability to heal reactivates and we may reintroduce healthy foods and start to rebuild our microbiome, intestinal flora, immune system and endocrine system and experience the miracle of our health returning from the inside out!

I have suffered from toxic overload more than once myself to the point where my adrenals were completely failing and I could not get out of bed in the morning, or even the afternoon! I went from being a daily runner, hiker and yogi, to completely wiped out. It felt like I was suffocating under the physical and mental weight of myself – it was then that I knew I had to go beyond another diet and discovered that the deeper you go, the higher you fly!

Do you recognize yourself in any of the symptoms above?

I've had clients check off ALL the boxes, but the truth is we only need to identify with a few of them to come to an important realization about our health and vitality...

To heal from these symptoms of toxic overload and effectively reset the body it becomes apparent that we must support our bodies and gently re-open and then keep all the body’s channels of elimination open and functioning well. In Traditional Chinese Medicine this is referred to as clearing the meridian pathways of toxic buildup and blockages so that our Qi (vital energy) can efficiently flow as intended again.

This clearing process requires the support of certain medicinal herbs, foods and a healthier lifestyle choices, which includes an expanded sense of self-awareness to shift our thoughts and programmed belief systems.

Therefore, the Divine Soul Detox guide offers more than just recipes and includes different cleansing rituals, selective natural treatments for supporting the detox process, yogic wisdom, as well as gentle guidance on detoxing the mind and harmful thought patterns, for example, with breathwork.

In order to fully restore our body’s natural healing systems and regain balance, we must go beyond diet and also focus on mind, soul and the subtle energy systems at the core of our being ~ the context for all the rest of the content. The amount of time and energy you put into spiritual practices, self-care rituals and holistic healing methods will dramatically increase your overall state of well-being and help you release toxins, de-stress, heal and lose excess weight.

However, proper self-care is not something most of us have ever been taught how to do or integrate into our daily lives. We are a society suffering from a lack of self-love, attempting to compensate for an internal, spiritual crisis of meaning with material gain, but it does not and cannot work. Eventually, we all crash from this approach.

Along with several healing and detox practices, such as saunas, massage, acupuncture, cold showers, dry brushing and more, we may choose to connect on an even deeper, energetic and soulful level and truly begin to heal at the root of our being.

The Divine Soul Detox incorporates several ancient yogic and spiritual techniques for connecting to Spirit and Soul.

Mind and body are intimately and intrinsically interconnected and interdependent. The ego likes to take credit for our thoughts and experiences in life, but with practice, we may learn to release identification with the ego's attachments and stories, become the witness to our journey and consciously choose to write a new story for our life.

Spiritual practices teach us how to be more self-aware and expand our consciousness and we may discover that a shift made on an energetic level has significantly more power to change the physical than anything implemented in the physical.

"The impact on a person's present life and the destiny of their soul is profoundly altered by the change of calibratable consciousness energy; it is therefore more powerful than any temporal physical condition." ~ Dr. David R. Hawkins

The program will also heal, cleanse and help rebuild your Soul so that you may feel more connected and alive in all dimensions of your being.

Physically you will quickly feel lighter, clearer and brighter as your body detoxifies, alkalizes, mineralizes and heals, you will learn what foods give you the energy and strength to live life more fully. You will create room for your Soul to enter and more fully embody your entire being.

You will also dramatically raise your vibration, meaning, that your body, mind, spirit and soul will be operating at a new frequency. Everything you eat will be alive and full of vital energy that will start to fuel you once again at a cellular level, enlivening your body and soul, which naturally raises and expands your consciousness.

You will have realizations and develop new perspectives and likely start experiencing many positive shifts in your life.

The integrity of this guide is founded in guiding you back home to your Soul and therefore is designed to roll-over into a healthier way of life that you will only want to continue to expand and deepen. Therefore, it never really “ends”…

However, when we first start on this healing path, the mind is riddled with unhealthy attachments, habits and patterns which it does not want to let go of yet; therefore, it is wise to set yourself a goal for how long you wish to commit to the intense detox stage, knowing that you can always extend it as you go. For best results it is recommended to set the intention to detox for at least one month, but could be three, six or twelve if you choose. Eventually, as balance returns, it will become your way of life.

The attachments and cravings will diminish and eventually let go as you awaken within. The Divine Soul Detox will guide you in learning what not to eat and drink and therefore, what to consume that will allow your body to gently and effectively detoxify, revive, reset and rejuvenate itself from the inside out. Included are numerous recipes, including how to make a variety of nourishing and delicious smoothies, fresh-pressed juices, salads, soups and snacks. You will not go hungry! This program does not count calories or ask you to restrict portion sizes - instead, it will guide you in learning how to effectively communicate with your body so that you can support it doing what it already knows how to do, which is to heal, listen to the conscious mind and be a happy, healthy home, and temple, for your Soul's journey. PLUS it also includes a section on Spirit Plant medicines, including edible and medicinal mushrooms, informing you on how fantastic fungi can truly transform and heal us from within.
