I just left my appointment with the amazing Laura Lee Evans to have a saline scrub for my face. It’s kind of a natural way for me to experience advanced anti-aging techniques. I try to go every 6 months and have the dead cells blasted away and my pores deeply cleaned. Laura Lee is a wonderful person and we always have a good talk. Of course she wanted to know about my book and was curious about my Cleansing program. Like many people I meet she was interested in jump-starting her immune system and digestion, but is skeptical of cleansing because she worries that she will not be allowed to eat, having to rely on shakes and supplements.
She asked an interesting question, ”what brand is the product?” By this she meant what is the “brand” of the mechanism by which you cleanse.
It was interesting because I had no idea what she was asking. I mean, the brand of the product is spirit, is nature, is you. You simply use yourself to cleanse. The Elemental Cleanse is a methodology that teaches you as a human how to use your digestive system for maximum digestion and therefore maximum immunity. That’s why disease is reversed and weight is lost on the cleanse.
This is how it works in a nutshell….
Week 1: Get your life on track. We take a look at your schedule and figure out how to incorporate a little “me” time. “Me” time looks like meditation, yoga, walking, relaxation, reading, and connecting intimately with yourself. It looks like being honest with yourself about the choices you are making for your life that are contributing to your unhappiness, stress, and disease. During Week 1 you may still eat meat and begin a gentle process to come off of alcohol , caffeine, sugar, and processed foods.
Week 2: This week is one of my favorites because we start to dig in to what an awesome person you are and how you as an awesome person deserve an awesome life. You will discover your great qualities and start to chip away at your qualities that are getting you in trouble. You will actually take the time to make a plan for your life that includes your hopes and dreams. During Week 2 you may still eat meat. Most people are off of caffeine by the end of the week and are diving into grocery shopping, cooking, and making good choices.
Week 3: This is the week we discover your hidden choice-maker. Let’s face it, you KNOW what to eat and drink. You know to move your body. You know you deserve great things. Why then, do you make bad choices? During Week 3 we are vegetarians. By the end of the week you are done with your habits or are going to battle with the mind to stop making detrimental choices. Week 3 sees a lot of weight begin to move and many people take a pause to stay in Week 3 if they have goals for weight loss in excess of the typical 6 – 12 pounds normally lost during the Cleanse.
Week 4: This is the week when you connect to your life’s purpose. During Week 4 you experience an Ayurvedic Fast that is appropriate for all people. You eat food the entire week. Don’t worry. You will not be hungry. This is the week that you are empowered to learn how to eat for your unique body type or how to eat to continue to shift a physical situation. You’ve worked hard to clean yourself out and you want to maintain your new digestive powers post-cleanse.
I’m a results oriented person. I’m also a recovering perfectionist. I’ve taught this program to over 600 people now and helped people through everything from IBS to cancer. In an effort to get more people using natural processes to heal and find happiness I have made the Elemental Cleanse super-accessible. If you are in Cincinnati, you have access to me through the studios and I make sure you come in by loading you up with yoga. Here are your choices in order of price and effectiveness:
Cleanse with me in person. It’s $407 and includes your kit valued at $55, the book valued at $12.95, an unlimited yoga pass valued at $120, and access to the ecourse valued at $169. I personally review our intake form and modify the Cleanse if necessary for you. A private consultation with me is normally $257. You have the support of me and the group for the full 28 days. We’ll be Cleansing in person in January…I think.
Cleanse with me online. It’s $169 and includes your kit valued at $55 and if you are in Cincinnati, an unlimited yoga pass valued at $120. USE the studio and come to my classes. Just tell me what week you are in and I will change my talk track and the experience of the yoga class to reinforce what you are learning. I’m always happy to chat before or after class is you send me an email head’s up. Scheduling a private consultation with me during your Cleanse is an excellent pairing. It lets me get to know you and work with you intimately and offers exceptional results. I turn into your cheerleader for the month.
Buy the book. It’s just $12.95 or you can download on kindle. The kit is $55 if you want to purchase it. This is for people who are independent minded and can hold themselves to task. I highly suggest you find a friend to do the cleanse with or create a book club from it. EOM does have holistic coaches who will help your group through the book club experience. It’s lots of fun and again, you feel supported.
