The body is a cleansing machine - it always wants to return itself back to great health. We just need to facilitate its ability to fix itself and give it the right environment to do so – the right water, air, nutrients, rest, mind, love, patience, and occasionally a break from processing food.

The mental & emotional effects of a water fast are the most benefit. It’s a great opportunity for ‘purging’ stored emotions that have been burried. The philosophy of water fasting calls upon us to know ourselves, to master ourselves, to identify our dependencies, and free ourselves from them.

is the oldest medicine in clearing symptoms such as:
• headaches
• skin breakouts
• tiredness and lethargy
• poor sleep
• irregular bowel function
• mental fogginess
• slow healing capacity
• inflammation
• stiffness and muscle tension,
• anger and frustration

Water fasting will help you boost your immune system, increase human growth hormone, spur cell regeneration, lose weight, normalize insulin levels, and extend longevity.

You're giving your body a break from processing food, fat stores are fed upon and cells get a chance to go into repair mode — old and damaged ones are destroyed and new cells are generated. Following a water fast diet you improve the ability of your body to cleanse itself and activate its own powers of self-healing. The physical benefits of fasting symbolically mirror its spiritual ones; in the same way that fasting balances the body’s hormones and renews its cells, it recalibrates the soul’s priorities and repairs places in one’s character that have become damaged and diseased. In fasting, you both purify the body, and clarify the soul.

It is important to ease into a fast to prevent shock to the body and allow for a smooth and easy transition. The more you can help your body in the pre-fast, easier your detox journey will be. If your body is used to eating lots of heavy or processed food, then fasting may be a bigger transition and will be a shock to the body to go from one extreme to the other.

water fasting is a journey

If this is your first fast, perhaps start out really small with an 8-hour fast on a weekend when you don't have much to do. Drink plenty of water and take green juices and skip eating breakfast and lunch and then have a light dinner – to give you an idea of what a detox would be like. Every body responds differently to fasting, and it can be difficult to predict what will happen on your detox journey. Your physical and emotional state, the conditions around you are all factors can change the outcome of your fast.

With our program we will help you transition into an alkaline diet where you will nourish your system with simple liquids like light juices and herbal teas and we will guide you on exactly what to eat for the first few days after your water and juice fast, which will usually include fruit, soups and light raw vegan meals.

It is important to eat slowly and absolutely avoid alcohol, refined sugar, bread, refined flour, meat and other foods that are heavy, chemically loaded or hard work to digest straight after your fast.
A detox that is right for your body can be a powerful and transformational healing journey - physical, trauma-related, emotional, ancestral or spiritual.
