Detox your mind, not just your body.



So many people are interested in a cleanse, or a detox.  I often get asked what cleanse should people go on or how to go about starting one... There are so many different ways to approach this, which I'll cover in the next post.  I believe that cleansing the mind is just as important if not more essential to your health.  Everything starts with the mind, there is a reason you are where you are... It's your thoughts and actions that brought you here.  From here, your thoughts and actions will bring you either where you really belong (finding true purpose and live it) or where you'll go because of certain habits and beliefs.

I believe that everyone is exceptionaly special and possesses a wonderful gift inside.  To find what that gift is, only you can discover it by being still.  Listening to your inner guide, and following your heart.  Letting go of the ego and all negative chatter.

To start, all it takes is five minutes a day.  Just sit in a quiet and comfortable place, relax and take long deep breaths.  You will  have thoughts that will come up, but sit in a way where you can be an observer of these thoughts.   After some time you will see the same thoughts come up, check in with your  body for how they make you feel.  Realize that you have the power to be happy and "clean some thoughts out." We all throw things out of our home if we don't find any use for it or it just gets in the way, right? We have to do the same thing with certain thoughts, and add ones that we like and can make us feel complete.

When you meditate, hold a vision and feeling inside and surrender to it and let it go.  Trust that the universe will work on it for you and bring it back to your life in a way that is beautiful and effortless.

Practicing this in the beginning doesn't mean it will be easy for some of us, but in the long run its definitely worth it.  Not everyone can expect to undo 20,30,40 years of what they did wrong to suddenly do whats right.  Be easy with yourself.  Know that it takes time.  Reward yourself with little things that make you happy and know that are good for you.

After some time, you will find way to meditate that works for you.  There are many styles to try out, and just like trying out clothes at a store you don't have to "buy" it.  The best part is that it's free, and you are in charge.  A wonderful creator.  Once you own this power,  life will get much easier and fun.  There will always be things that happen outside of your control, but one thing you can control is yourself.  Be good, live good and experience good.

Namaste,
Michaela
