Time to begin!

I've had a busy week as I'm sure most of you have as well. It can be difficult to fit detoxing in with all of your other activities. But even if you're only able to do a little bit at a time just keep working on it and you will see some changes and learn things about yourself and your body. I finally meal planned for the week today and have purchased the supplements I need. Now just a few things to get tomorrow food-wise. I actually am looking forward to the structure, getting a break from some of my constant desires, like sugar. Sugar just causes more want for sugar and you'll find if you stop it you may get a little more hungry at first and then less hungry after a couple days with the chance of losing a little bit of weight (which I'd like to do)!  So be positive and let's get going!  Please post comments or questions or send me an email. Would love to hear your progress and stories!

Lao Tzu Amazing Light and Sound Master

"Would you like to save the world from the degradation and destruction it seems destined for?  Then step away from shallow mass movements and quietly go to work on your own self-awareness.  If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself.  If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself.  Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation."

Body Detox Program - The Lightweight Version

Detoxification is a must for anyone over 30 who wants to avoid imbalance and disease as they age, yet can be beneficial for those as early as in their teens and 20s as well.  We accumulate many toxins, chemicals, and heavy metals in our bodies through the food we eat, what we drink, and our interaction with the environment.  The body needs to be relieved of these toxins to function properly.  It is also important to create a more alkaline environment in the body to balance gut flora and help the body heal. The liver, which filters much of these toxins, naturally enters into detoxification on its own in the spring so this is the perfect time to cleanse.  I also feel a second cleanse in the fall is useful.

 There are many ways to detoxify the body, from the lazy way of taking gobs of cleansing supplements without any diet change (which truly doesn’t do much), to the extreme of fasting for weeks on end, drinking endless green shakes, and doing colonics, which for many is not feasible, possible, nor tolerable, and can be unsafe.  In my 25 years of practice and knowledge of natural health, detoxification doesn’t have to be that hard.  Each time you do it, it is a bit of an experiment as our body changes over time, but gets a little easier with experience.  The process needs to be something you can do once or twice a year while working and living your busy life, or you won’t do it at all.  I suggest 1-2 weeks once or twice a year.  Your results will be based on how often you do it and how much you put into it; you will get better at it over time.  Don’t give up, just give this a try……..

Depending on how addicted you are to refined foods and how toxic you are, you may experience hypoglycemia, withdrawal symptoms, cravings, tiredness, or weakness due to dumping of toxins.  It is a must that you are eliminating easily on a daily basis; if not please include a product or supplement for safe daily elimination.  Also drink lots of pure water!  Email me at evolvingwellness@yahoo.com or Message me with questions.  Good luck and trust the process!

Yay 2016!!! Posts coming......

It's now 2016 and I guess I had to get a bad cold to force me to sit down and take the time to write in my blog again. Not that I haven't wanted to but finding the time is a struggle. Maybe I can get in the habit of writing and giving my natural health knowledge as well as my experiences studying my spiritual path and the insights I gain from it to those who are interested.  I want so badly to share my knowledge, experiences, and understandings in the hope that they will be helpful!  Today I'm attempting to turn this common 7-day cold into 4 days by taking some Chinese herbs, oil of oregano (a great anti-bacterial that I do ok on but can be hard on the stomach) and a tincture formula called ChemBuster that is helpful for a variety of concerns.  We shall see what the outcome is. Anyway, more posts to come!

All my best to a healthy, happy day!!  ❤️
