Love from Brother Echo

Day 1 of Juice Cleanse







ALOHA Everyone

Day 1 of Juice Cleanse

I'm up at and at em this morning.  I started my morning off with prayer and meditation at 5:15am.
I got my Carrot, Apple and Ginger juice in before the storm gets here and we lose power.
It really could not be a more appropriate day to start my cleanse than on a rainy day like today.
Washing away the old and in with the new! Wheewww! Thats what I am talking about.
I forgot to mention that I took my Sea Salt capsules with warm water this morning before having my juice as I am supposed to.  I fought off nausea a good 10-15 minutes.  Still waiting on the end result from that. :)

I prayed for a lot of clarity and focus throughout this 7 day juice cleanse.  I am doing the cleanse for several different reasons some of those I will reveal through this blog and some I will keep to myself.
I also know that I need courage and strength to make it through this fast and fight off hunger pains.  I will continue to pray for that.  
I am going to post some videos from YouTube.  I love love Brother Echo.  He is my inspiration to do the cleanse and gravitate back towards a healthier purer lifestyle.
Enjoy the videos and I will be back blogging later today.

PEACE LOVE AND UNITY

Juice Feast : Prep for Day 1

Juice Feast


Prep for Day 1


ALOHA everyone!  I am doing a JUICE FEAST and decided to blog about my experience.
I have been doing research the past few days on Juicing.  I found this guy on YOUTUBE named Echo Roberson aka Brother Echo.  I have been fascinated by his videos.  I love his personality.  I have connected with him as if I know him on a personal level just through watching his videos.  The website is Rawsangha.com  
I have decided to juice and incoroporate the ever so popular MasterCleanse into my plan.  I plan on juicing for 7 days with no food.  On the 7th day I will introduce foods back into my diet. As for today I have started a light prep for the plan starting full swing tommorrow.  


So far I have had.... 2 pieces of Food for Life toast with all fruit jelly, 12 almonds, 5 strawberries, 12 oz mastercleanse lemonade, 12 oz juice ( apple, celery, carrot, lemon, kale) it was yummy!  I plan on drinking 12 more ounces of mastercleanse lemonade, for my afterworkout meal  I will have 6 oz chicken breast, raw spinach, almond butter and 4 strawberries.  I may do another juice before bed.  I have also taken 2 capsules with sea salt.


It is a cloudy, humid, cold  day today so I am feeling pretty tired.  I think I am going to take a 45 min nap before I go to the gym this evening.


Please allow me to elaborate the reasons for the cleanse.  I do believe my body needs a detox as well as my mind for clarity.  Time to take a break from all the preworkout and protein drinks.  This old body is saying give me a break.  Let's get back to raw basics and a squeaky clean inside!  I do plan on doing more meditating and praying during the cleanse.
I feel disconnected from the earth, universe and all the people I am close to.  I know I have emotional baggage I need to unpack and let go of.  It is time to deal with what I have feared or pushed aside the past 18 months!  Lets do this!  I am ready.

I will blog often and especially when emotions come up that need to be addresed throughout the juice feast.  











PEACE, LOVE AND UNITY
