The “Brand” is Spirit

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 […]

Battling The Vitamix, Day 68, 120-day Cleanse

I did it.  I finally after years and years of watching demonstrations at Costco purchased the Vitamix.  I’ll be honest.  It was an impulse purchase that I can totally justify.  You see, my digestion has been weird since I returned from India in February.  In India, they had us on a very very aggressive Kundalini […]

Scathing Review

The other day I went to Amazon.com to find the link to give to a person requesting to purchase my book, “The Elemental Cleanse.”  I haven’t been there for awhile and was pleased to see nine reviews.  Eight of them, I’m proud to say, are exceptional.  One, however, left my mouth open… “Does not help […]

Total Regroup, Day 38, 120-day Cleanse

I’m back from Telluride and of course every lovely retreat and getaway for me usually ends in coming home to chaos.  I never seem to plan a  day of regrouping after a trip and of course the universe always likes to throw small business owners a few wrenches. Telluride was an exceptional experience.  It also […]

Back from Telluride, Day 36, 120-day Cleanse

I am leaving the mountains of Telluride and have said goodbye to our fifteen guests, locked up the mountain dream palace, and am headed back to Elemental OM.  All twenty of us agreed that this trip was beyond exceptional.  I can’t remember having a better time, a better experience, and being with better people in […]

120-day Cleanse, Day 30, Oh Miele

It’s 6 am in Telluride, Colorado and I have awoken in the most gorgeous house in the most beautiful place I have ever been in.  I’ve arrived to the Telluride Yoga Festival early with my family to settle things in and prepare for my presentations before the rest of our group of 20 arrives. A […]

120-day Cleanse, Day 23, Frustration

Yogi Bhajan describes frustration as having the energy to do something, but not knowing what to do or having a huge outlet, but no energy.  I suffer from frustration a lot.  One day I’m full of great ideas and energy, but most ideas are so long term that I don’t get to see them immediately […]

120-Day Cleanse, Day 22, I don’t know

Today turned into one of those days and I don’t know why.  Food is fine.   People were extremely helpful and kind.  I learned some stuff today that was really interesting including how AMAZING Patti Kessler is as a healer.  She did a demonstration and wowsie!  I could actually see the energy coming out of her […]

120-Day Cleanse, Day 21, Dates

On this 120-day Cleanse I’ve been craving a few things that I do not normally eat.  The first one is dried apricots.  If you read my blog “explosion” you will see that there is a limit to dried apricot consumption.  Odd  that I still crave them after that day.  The other odd item for me […]

120-Day Cleanse, Day 20, Divine Guidance

Let’s just say I have my stuff I’m working on too.  One of my biggest obstacles  is  that I’m moody.  This doesn’t bother me a bit, but it tends to make the folks around me crazy.  I blame it on my Pisces nature for the most part.  I’m highly aware of my moodiness and its […]

120-day Cleanse, Day 18, Stabilize Your Bedtime

Last night I had a book signing at the Sharonville Public Library.  It was a nice group of interested people.  Most had heard about Ayurveda, meditation, and of course Yoga.  I gave them an introduction to Ayurveda.  We talked about its origins, the lifestyle, eating, sleeping, and eliminating (pooping).  When I teach or speak, I […]

120-Day Cleanse, Day 16, Irritation

Well I hit a nerve today….irritation.  oh boy.  That is the practice for this week in the 21-stages and will be my spiritual cleansing focus this week.  First, let me just say the Kundalini Kriya that I did today, Balancing the Chakras, is harder than crud.  I thought I’d be nice and cut the times […]

120-Day Cleanse, Day 15, Bird Poop

I’ll start this blog with reminding you that the theme for this week is boredom.  The goal was to get quiet, withdraw, and become bored.  Oddly, I haven’t been bored at all.  I haven’t been searching for things to do, but it just hasn’t been a boring week. Today, however, was certainly just another day.  […]

120-day Cleanse, Day 14, Zombie Attack

So today my kids came home from vacation with their dad.  This should add an amazing layer to this Cleanse experience.  The last two weeks I’ve been on my own and haven’t had to worry about schlepping kids and feeding meat-eaters.  (DO plan when to start a Cleanse well….time on your own is perfect at […]

120-Day Cleanse, Day, Day 13…do you balance?

Today is teacher training weekend at Elemental OM School.  Everyone is here to learn how to be a yoga teacher and a holistic coach. It’s a great “Cleanse” moment because all the teachers in training are post-cleanse and have experienced the Vata and Pitta Lifestyles.  I’m having them break into pairs to take the balance […]

120-day Cleanse, Day 12

It’s 11:39….one hour and thirty nine minutes past my bedtime. Just got home from summer solstice with 6 amazing woman.  We danced and sang under the full moon and sent healing to the world. I had a sip of ginger beer and a square of dark chocolate stuffed with caramel. It was all worth it. […]
