...on cleansing

When my wife Dushinka and I did the Body Mind Gifts Cleanse we were living in Western Australia, so we worked with Vanessa through Skype sessions. Neither of us had ever done a 40-day cleanse before, much less a fast, and so we were a bit apprehensive at first. Our daughter had recently been born, and my wife and I were adjusting to the new rhythms of having an infant while working.

Would I be able to "keep up", and stick to the commitment for 40 days?  Would I have the energy to do all of the things I had to for my newborn and my family, and keep up with work?
Incredibly, the answer was yes!  I think part of the success was that Vanessa encouraged us to do the Cleanse together. Having this "fellowship" element to an individual cleanse was vital for it being such a rewarding experience for both of us.
 
But equally important, in my experience, was having Yoga & mediation component we did each day of the cleanse. This 30-40 min practice became a kind of clearing-house of the emotions, an arena to work out the exuberance or the frustrations of the day, but also to ride out the the roller-coaster of the different phases of cleansing. Until we started doing the Yoga along with the cleanse, I was not aware of how valuable and essential this component would be.
 
The cleanse itself was not as hard as I feared.  Not by a long shot.  Regular contact with Vanessa was very helpful, as well as the extraordinary amount of delicious recipes she provided us, as alternatives to the diet we were accustomed to. 
 
In the years since first doing the cleanse, the protein-rich vegetable-based recipes have become a staple in our house, and we have delightfully incorporated them into our weekly menus in our new home, in Norway. Our food intake includes some meat now, but has become mostly vegetarian; meat is no longer the feature of all our meals. We still feel the effects of the boost in energy and vitality that the Body Mind Gifts Cleanse gave us, and we feel great. We recommend Vanessa and the Body Mind Gifts Cleanse to anyone.
