21 DAY CLEAN, PURGE, BALANCE
21 day clean, purge, balance
17 April 2020 Day 22 (Bonus 1) – Wellness, longevity and remission.
Welcome to Day 22 (Bonus 1) – Are you owning and implementing the steps for longevity and well-being?
As a bonus we will look at longevity and healing. In researching the studies on centenarian cultures around the world and longevity research I have isolated several key factors that we have introduced you to over the last 21 days. The reason I have chosen the long term centenarian studies and longevity research is that they have studied groups that have demonstrated the results of diet on health, productivity, and wellness for over 100 years of application. Long term results are absent with the latest fad diets like paleo, keto, and others that are based on a theory that is unique and different but may or may not be valid for long term results. I have also included Kelly Turners results in studying individuals who have successfully turned around chronic diseases.
“Genetic or dietary interventions can not only delay diseases but actually eliminate a major portion of chronic diseases in mice, monkeys, and even humans to extend longevity.” Dr. Valter Longo, noted longevity researcher. Longo indicates that the mostly plant based diet he recommends does not only lead to optimal weight and health but also provides strong protection against the major ailments of old age, including cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases.
The basics of longevity and healing from various researchers is:
The nine common steps that people who had radical remissions of chronic illness did are (note only two of them are physical changes, the rest are mental, emotional and spiritual):
1. Radically changing their diet. *
2. Taking control of (for) your health.
3. Following your intuition
4. Using Herbs and Supplements. *
5. Releasing suppressed emotions.
6. Increasing positive emotions.
7. Embracing social support.
8. Deepening your spiritual connection.
9. Having a strong reason for living.
Nine lessons on the lifestyle of people living in blue zones:
• Moderate, regular physical activity.
• Life purpose.
• Stress reduction.
• Moderate caloric intake.
• Plant-based diet.
• Moderate alcohol intake, especially wine (low alcohol content).
• Engagement in spirituality or religion.
• Engagement in family life.

The summary of the Longo “Longevity Diet” is as follows:
• Eat mostly plant-based foods, with occasional low-mercury fish or other seafood (2-3 times a week) and lots of nuts and olive oil
• Generally eat modest amounts of protein, whether it’s plant-based or animal-based
• Very limited or no dairy; goat’s milk and cheese are okay
• Minimize saturated fats and sugar
• Eat foods from your ancestral homelands as long as they are otherwise healthy
• Eat 2-3 meals a day, ideally two solid meals and one snack, in a 10-12 hour window, and don’t eat 3-4 hours before bedtime
• Take multivitamins every three days
• A few times a year, if you are under age 65-70 and otherwise healthy, do a five-day water fast or a “fasting-mimicking diet,” which includes food but mimics the benefits of actual fasting.
A few additions:
• Belief is important more than 1/3 of all medical cures are due to placebo effect.
• Perception is a key for epigenetic actions that re-write genes and give you healing ability.
• Self-care and stress reduction through meditation are very important and go beyond to spirituality.
• Supplements should be used to supplement imbalance, but not continued beyond their use, herbs and medicines were not meant for continuous usage.
Next time we will look at where we stand in relationship to this with a short questionnaire I have developed.
Take Away (Bonus 1): Consider the daily actions of centenarians who enjoy well-being, joy and happiness.
Enjoy your Cleaning, Purging, Balancing and Rest,

21 Day Balance 7

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

21 day clean, purge, balance
16 April 2020 Day 21 (Balance 7) – A Balanced Day
Welcome to Day 21 (Balance 7) – Bringing balance forward in your life each day.
We have explored a number of topics and practices in the last 21 days. A virus asks us to do four things when it visits us, that we have been negligent of, they are: to clean, to purge, to balance, and to rest. It is a good thing that it reminds us. It reminds us, to mind our wellness on a daily basis – to take care of our foundation of well-being on a continuous basis. Today as you prepare to move forward with your journey of life, consider how and where you can consciously support these four pillars of wellness in your life.
We have offered a daily eating and care plan that we go over with all our patients; this is a good beginning. With a morning ritual of detoxification, alignment, meditation, breath work, light breakfast, big lunch, light dinner, exercise, and evening routine to slow down prepare for sleep, meditation, breathing, alignment. To this core we can add elements of our 21 day routine to expand and own what we have experienced and wish to continue. Review the list of our 21 day takeaways and consider adding them to your daily, weekly, annual routines.
Clean 1) – Start the day with lemon and warm water and eat light high water content foods until noon.
2) – Joy start your body and lymphatic’s with a self message each morning.
3): Luxuriously sleep (in bed by 10am and wake at sunrise) to maximize health and vigor.
4): Hypercharge health with tongue, nostril and ear cleaning – clear brain and senses.
5): Energize and inspire yourself for longevity with movement and breathe each day.
6): Begin with gratitude and ask for what you truly desire to benefit yourself and others.
7): Be more in your life (80%) & only from alignment add the action (20%) & see what you can create.

Purge 1): Clear the clutter for more effectiveness, let go of the resistance.
2): Fasting allow the body to naturally detoxify and then rebuild to increase longevity.
3): Release unwanted habits; embrace your real self in your heart center for contentment & fulfillment.
4): Impeccable words of truth set a force of love to please and increase the flow of what we focus on.
5): Become aware of your natural tendencies and start to replace them with love based responses, using tapping and NET to program the subconscious mind.
6): Go inside to find the real expert who resides within where the Supreme Self resides.
7): Reclaim your passion and energy by releasing incompletes and resistance.

Balance 1): In the stillness inside me is a calming peace that is always accessible.
2): Eat real living food (as nature gives) in all colors, and the six tastes for abundant balanced life force.
3): Adopting the characteristic of child-like play as an adult keeps your mind and body flexible, young and spontaneous. It renews mind/body and reverses the aging process.
4): Change your perceptions; change your life for renewal and regeneration.
5): Live life fully, unfolding your great purpose for being with confidence and happiness.
6): Take the journey of consciousness, dive deep into the stillness of not doing -relax in your true being.
7): Your daily actions become your habits which become your beliefs, choose what supports well-being.

Rest: What do you do to ensure your rest? Daily, weekly, yearly – time off, sleep, vacation, re-creation.
Stay in balance remembering: In positive emotion I allow my complete alignment and communication with Source Energy I reclaim the balance in my physical and mental body, living in the fullness of my well-being. I maintain my balance and well-being easily with consistent good feeling thoughts. I am aware of my emotional state and whenever I dip towards fear based emotions there is nothing more important than restoring my high flying positive emotional state as quickly as I can.
Take Away (Balance 7): Your daily actions become your habits which become your beliefs, choose what supports well-being.
Practice this for 21 days to see the effects first hand. Continue the practices from previous days for the entire program to fully experience the benefits.
Enjoy your Balance and rest,

Balance, the Art of Living

21 Day Balance 6

/0 Comments/in , , , , , /by

21 day clean, purge, balance
15 April 2020 Day 20 (Balance 6) – Awareness
Welcome to Day 20 (Balance 6) – the three levels of consciousness, going beyond the everyday “reality.”
Awareness goes beyond the social “reality” we accept as the “real” world which we have made through agreement. In reality we have dominion over our life and what we aspire to achieve through our awareness and employment of our innate curiosity, intelligence, purpose, motivation, resilience, self worth, self esteem, and diligence which produce desire and activation of our infinite potential. When we see beyond man-made limitations our enlightened consciousness offers absolute freedom.
There are three levels of consciously, yet many never proceed past the first level. They are 1) the ego personality, the everyday reality – how we want the world to see us; 2) the unconscious self, where we stuff the negatives we don’t want others to see. Yet the unconscious self also contains creativity and sensitivity that is a source of intuition and distills the essence of life experiences to inner fulfillment even in the face of terror and pain of the past; and 3) the “true self”, which is close to the source, our pure consciousness, the eternal wholeness and infinite potential of co-creation. The state of “I am” of observing still silence and the pure consciousness of no activity before activity.
First step is to stop conscious thinking and chill, not doing just observing, so your true self emerges. This is achieved in meditation when we abstain from conscious mental activity by focusing on our breath or a mantra (like So Hum) and observing the stillness that comes through first in small glimpses and with practice expands. It is often referred to as the open spaces between thoughts that contain nothing yet out of them (the void) occurs the next thought.
An important part of this awareness we are developing is to be in life but not swayed by it. The state of equanimity where you observe without craving what you like and do not push away things you do not want. You simply observe from a relaxed being of wholeness, as integrated body and mind, no thought, and no striving. A hard place to be in the beginning that gradually opens the way for a deep sense of being in your existence and consciousness, which are actually one, as the ego identity falls away and the true self emerges from the silence. Let go of achieving, just take the time to touch the stillness and all will come.
Take Away (Balance 6): Begin your journey of consciousness, diving deeply into the stillness of not doing to relax in your true being.
Practice this for 21 days to see the effects first hand. Continue the practices from previous days for the entire program to fully experience the benefits.
Enjoy your Balance,
