21 Day Purge 2
21 day clean, purge, balance
4 April 2020 Day 9 (Purge 2) – Letting Go: Purge to rebuild the body
Welcome to Day 9(Purge 2), – Letting Go – Purge your digestive tract; restart the body and rejuvenate.
Intermittent fasting is like restarting the digestive system and encourages autophagy which is also known as self-eating (where the body starts to eat damaged, old and broken cells and proteins to become more self-protective and efficient). It mimics the evolutionary fast and famine cycles of our forebears that provides many health benefits and is an aid to longevity. Autophagy is a cellular process for recycling cells and clean-up. During a fast the cells turn on processes to utilize fat metabolism, reduce stress resistance and damage repair that are turned off when abundant food predominates. Inflammation is lowered as well and human growth hormone (secretin) levels rise which preserves lean muscle mass, reduces fat tissue accumulation and appears to play a role in longevity, wound healing, and cardiovascular health. Intermittent fasting is like a renovation of the body it can help reverse the aging process by purging the old cellular junk and replacing it with renewed (re-grown) cells and tissues.
To start your fast, eat your largest meal at lunch and then eat a light dinner and finish it before 7 pm tonight. Do not eat anything after 7pm until 12 noon or 1 pm tomorrow this activates the process. Feel free to drink water and maybe a little lemon and water during the fast. Nutrient deprivation is the key activator of autophagy.
To end your fast start break the fast with a light meal it should be a balanced plant based meal including salads, vegetables and a little light protein like grains and legumes. Avoid refined white sugars and processed/packaged foods. Stay with real foods; those foods that are closest to the way they come off the tree, plant or ground. You have started to clean up your food consider reducing meat, dairy and other concentrated animal products to reap greater benefit.
Please note that the human body developed with cycles of feast and feminine that provides a unique natural plan for rejuvenation and renewal if we just get out of the way. Many people find a weekly or monthly intermittent fast helps the body perform a natural detoxification and actives the body system for purging and rebuilding. Just as constant dieting can damage our health, we should not do constant fasting and probably should not constantly eat all we want (we seem to be meant to fast on a regular but not constant basis). Note the Wellness center eating plan that you have been given if you are a patient follows a 12 hour intermittent fast to encourage longevity.
Try 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.
Take Away (Purge 2): Fasting allow the body to naturally detoxify and then rebuild to increase longevity.
rge 1): Clear the clutter for more effectiveness, let go of the resistance.
Enjoy your Purge,

21 day Cleansing, purging, and balancing continue as website is back on-line.
Increase Self-Care and create a sustainable habit and try these four Ancient practices for health and immunity.
5 April, 2020
Hello Dear Friends,
Our website was down at the end of last week so our 21 day program didn’t go out. It has resumed and they are coming out now a few days late. Continue with your practices and enjoy.
Some Ancient Wisdom for handling the times and creating a strong immune system:
Ayurveda has four fasting practices that help everyone, they are:
Food: Fasting from food, eat only when the fire (gut) calls for it, not when the tongue or mind desires or thinks you should eat. Eat only when the breath is strong through the right nostril (close left for a minute or two breathing through right to change the breath to right nostril).
Breathing: Fast in your breath as well by slowing it down and emphsizing the pauses. Deliberately slow the inhalation of breath and create a longer slow out-breath with pauses.
Words: Thoughtfully and consciously speak only words that are true and pleasing to self and others.
Mind and consciousness: Sitting still listening to breath, being in nature, or silently repeating the names of the Divine calms the mind and reduces restlessness.
Wishing you great Health, Wellness and Joy in this 21 day. May you grow, expand, and be in love and joy,
Dr. Zaida Rivene and Jim Montrose

Rebirthing
What it is – A modern day innovation on centuries old Pranayama breathing techniques designed to purify and resolve emotional blocks and traumas that interfere with a persons natural ease and health.
How you will benefit – Leonard Orr the developer of modern rebirthing says that everyone has birth trauma and usually many other types of trauma. He goes on to say without the successful resolution of this trauma and removal from the physical body it inhibits one’s full execution of life. Rebirthing is a very effective way to cleanse the body and remove the traumas from the physical body and mental patterns. It is a simple breathing technique that everyone can learn, usually within ten sessions, and continue on their own.
Ridding yourself of the nine traumas – Leonard Orr, developer of Rebirthing, has identified nine traumas that people commonly have and are effectively resolved using the Rebirthing breath technique:
Birth trauma, Personal Lie, Repression of Feminine, Past Lives (tribal trauma), Parental Disapproval,
Death (unconscious) Urge, School trauma, Religious trauma

Meditation
Meditation – Meditation is Yoga for the mind and has many forms that can be tailored to an individual’s needs and provide great health benefits. Meditation helps everyone gain more balance, perspective and calm from a psychological point of view. Physiologically medical doctors studying this eons old system have identified a relaxation response that meditators produce that not only reduces the markers of modern day stress and mental agitation but improves the immune system, helps circulation, maintains brain functioning, helps irritable bowel syndrome, reduces high blood pressure and insomnia. In short this ancient science is a potent elixir to maintain health and enjoyment.
