so i heard there is a new crop of kleansers in cleveland - and that you might be perusing thee old blog. welcome & congrats.
my almost a year later cleanse ruminations:
- do it. lean on the other people doing it too.
- don't waste time thinking you're nuts & just (see above)
- keep a journal or a blog (to share w/ & support the other kleansers) b/c you'll learn a lot about your self & your body during this time... like when you re-read your posts almost a year later & observe how LOUD your mind was ;)
finally: i've recently been reading about the Ayurvedic cleanse called panchakarma. the most notable thing about panchakarma is that it is meant to deeply relax the body. stress is viewed as the most harmful experience for our body to phyically undergo & the thought is that the cells can release deep aspects of built-up toxins, relatively quickly, in a relaxed state. what this means when you're kleansing: chill out! withdraw when you feel it. allow yourself respite - as much as possible - from your daily routine & acknowledge & have patience with the aspects of the routine you can't deviate from... dont be stressed that you can't relax. ;)
here if you need me,
c.

Thought I'd pass on the name of this book that was recommended to me by an Ayurvedic practitioner in training to help with an at home panchakarma: It's Dr. Lad's Ayurveda for Self-Healing. Supposed to be one of the best handbooks for Ayurveda and has a model of his panchakarma which works well for a lot of people... Still better to see a practitioner for a personally tailored guidance but this sounds like good stuff too!
