How to Break a Fast! Increasing Mindfulness & Maximizing Your Benefits
September 12, 2012Fasting of all sorts is an amazing way to take control of your health but also presents a great opportunity to improve your relationship to food. The biggest mistake that people make when breaking fast is eating a big, hard to digest meal. To your digestive system, It’s a lot like being awakened from a deep soothing slumber with a bucket of ice being thrown at you
How to Design Your Own Fast
May 30, 2012One of the coolest things I’ve ever learned about fasting I read in Gabriel Cousen’s book Spiritual Nutrition. He mentions that when you fast, your body turns on a “youthing gene,” and that it has been scientifically proven that our genes revert to an earlier expression of themselves when in fasting mode. In other words you begin to get younger, rather than older!

15 Reasons Why You Should Consider a Detox
March 6, 2013The word detox is thrown around so often nowadays in health and celeb-watching lingo, I’m sure most of us are used to hearing about the latest fad.

Surviving a Healing Crisis During Detox
June 18, 2012In all modes of detoxification, the cleanser will experience what is called a healing crisis. A healing crisis can be described as a variety of symptoms from migraines, irritable moods, intense cravings, strong emotional outbursts, reliving unpleasant memories, skin breakouts, frequent trips to the bathroom, etc. For many, this part of cleansing is a roadblock, because they may not be emotionally ready to deal with the many feelings that arise during this part of the cleansing process. This however, is a very important part of the process of purification and a great opportunity to bravely face many of the challenges that are buried deep within.
Dear Raw Girl: Fighting Lupus?
January 10, 2011Hello Raw Girl!

By the grace of God I came across Jill Harrington’s Lupus Recovery Diet and became vegan. My symptoms improved and I thought I was *cured*…so I then began eating whatever I wanted. Turns out, I have this thing…wondering from your opinion…do you think my symptoms will improve again? Or is it too late?
Back to One: The End of the Year Cleanse
December 28, 2010Sometimes it really feels good to reset and revamp. It’s not like setting the clock back, but more so starting from where you are and undergoing a process of renewal. I’ve been feeling like in many areas of my life this process of going “back to one” is happening, and thus, it felt like an awesome time to take on a cleanse. As the end of the year approaches (can you believe how fast it went by) cleansing allows us to rejuvenate our bodies, while letting our minds and spirits reflect on the time that haspassed and our next steps.
Diary of My 7 Day Spring Cleaning
May 17, 2010Fasting, as I have mentioned in previous posts, is a sure way to increase longevity, rid the body of stored toxins, and awaken a deeper spiritual connection. If none of those reasons appeal to you, then perhaps you would just like to have a natural glow—after and sometimes even during every fast—my skin always gets just a little bit more radiant and people often comment on it. Below is the regimen I followed on my own Spring Cleaning.
