NUTRITION POST CLEANSE
Post Cleanse Care
The days following this powerful initiation are as important to sustain the levels of energy, presence and clarity that you have achieved.
Take 2-3 days to slowly resume back to eating normally.
Stay away from fats for the first two days following the cleanse if possible.
This is so that your liver doesn’t get overwhelmed after weeks of cleansing and fasting.
Continue drinking celery juice, other juices, raw fruits and veg, and cooked veg (like steamed potatoes etc).
On the third day you may resume eating fats (oils, meat, fish, nuts, seeds, avocado, etc) but in a moderate amount at first.
Remember that for optimal health and vitality your body only needs about 10-15% of fats every day. Ideally you want to start eating fats from midday on (12pm), as your liver is cleansing in the morning which is paramount for good health and reversing ageing.
It might be an opportunity to take take time after you complete your 24 hour fast to journal a little and perhaps look at what practices you would like to take forward with you. How might you extend this process, deepen your well being. What framework might you put in place to embed these new healthy practices.
It has been suggested that a 40 day process begins to dissolve old habits and break cycles. 3 months removes old habits and a 6 month period allows you to initiate and embed a new physical & emotional state of well-bing, with new habits and awareness.
Notes on Gratitude
I humbly sit at the feet of my wisdom teachers; these sharings come through their endeavours and from their lineages. In particular I am in awe & gratitude to Martín Prechtel & the Tutuzil Mayan community. I honour their rich and deeply powerful embodied teachings, ceremonies and initiations. I do not seek to mimic or misappropriate the wealth and depth of their wisdom tradition but rather gently honour the golden threads of their sacred teachings. Perhaps through this process we might touch the blossom of their wisdom tree and bring some small expression of their spiritual love and power into our lives where we are. In this way we have the opportunity to, one day soon, become members of a rainbow nation of lovers surrendered to the divine flow of these transformational times.
