Strange Cleanse - Moving Up and Out

This has been such a strange cleanse - things are going right along just like any of the other ones we have done however, everything is different. Not one thing in our lives at this moment is the same as it was a year ago.

This one is far deeper - leaving me without words to describe some of what I am feeling, sensing and processing. It's as if this one takes me back to a time before words or speech. All I can do is go with the flow and marvel at how things are unfolding.

The changes we are going through are precisely because of these intensive detoxes. And to be honest, I can't wait to see what each day will bring. It sort of feels a bit like a whirl wind right now - things are shifting and moving - both physically and spiritually.

Today is day 19 of my detox. I hope to do a few more days this month but am really looking forward to some solid foods as I have been cooking up a storm! I love to cook during any cleanse and feel creative, inventive and in touch with my inner kitchen goddess.

Food is something that is never far from my mind actually - whether I am eating it or not on the day. I love to prepare and come up with new ways to combine everyday ingredients. So, that's what is really moving and shaking for us here.

Our creative spirits. This side of ourselves has been flourishing during these past few weeks - sort of waking up from the long dark winter and now finding it's own legs. 

As far a symtoms go I have all the usual ones - but loads of energy. The interesting thing is my leg (pulled muscle) gets better one day and then flares up again on another day. It is really curious how my body is choosing to heal at this time.

I know there is something very deep in there and I am delighted it is finally moving up and out. Perhaps, that about sums me up right now too - I feel as if some parts of me are only now moving up and out - watch out world!! LOL

Shift Happens...Day 17 of my Cleanse

Lots to think about these days for me, I am carrying on with my cleanse and feeling pretty good. My leg is mostly better (funny how that goes!) and I have been upping my Yoga again. I have learned over the years to keep going no matter what, just modify the routine as you need to but, to not stop....

And that sort of sums up life, doesn't it? No matter what comes our way, do not stop, do not give up, do not give in, do not turn around and for God's sake - do not go back. Just keep thinking, keep doing, keep moving and keep going.

This really is the only way through the obstacles, issues, energy and other stuff that comes up along the way. This is not the time of year to be resting actually - we are in a preparation phase of shifting energy right now and it's about time.

For those who have been actively involved in seeking change, creating something better, moving forwards and shifting your energy onto higher ground - this is the moment we have been waiting for! It's all coming together right now - the energy is right, the time is right and we are finally in the right place for this to happen.

So, what is required of us right now? Perhaps it's to be patient a little longer....maybe it's to give ourselves that little push in new and different directions. Then again, there are always little loose ends that need to be tidied up, connections to be made and more ways to stick our necks out there.

Today is a day for action - small and big ones. If there is only one thing that can keep you going at any time - it should be this; 

Where there's a will, there's a way and those who are willing, will be shown the way...

Ahhh, summer!

Gears We Don't Even Use!

I saw a quote today and it has kept me thinking about my life, the things I want to achieve and all I am doing about getting there. And of course, the fact that perhaps there is far more I could be doing - to push myself a little. Or to push myself a lot.

The quote went something like this; 'life is like a 10 speed bicycle , most of us have gears we never use'.

This struck home for me today. I don't think many of us even come close to doing half of what we are capable of, we are not using our talents, we are fearful of our inner light and we allow the limiting beliefs of others to hold us back in every way. 

Perhaps we have gears we don't even know about - and strength, power, motivation, inner reserves of untapped energy just waiting for us to open up into these higher levels. 

Of course I am finding out more about this as I continually push my body forward to do more, exercise harder, longer, faster. As muscles and body build up, so too does mind, spirit and emotional strength and capacity. 

Yet, there is so much more to us, we are endless balls of potential energy with ideas, profound dreams, hopes and amazing magical powers. For the most part we are sleeping, we have forgotten, wandering aimlessly through our days in a brain fog caused by food and drink that has become our drug. 

And our downfall. 

You know, it really is all within - we have the resources, we are standing on this earth as incredibly powerful beings in our own right. We can't afford to back down any longer, or allow ourselves to be held back so easily. 

Today is a great day to find a way to push yourself forward, even a little bit. Opening up those inner doors which have been closed up for so long sometimes takes a little shove in the right direction.

If you think you can't do this, you have forgotten who you are

Have a wonderful, thoughtful, action filled day!
