The easiest way to heal your gut, feel better and boost your energy is Celery Juice! At the bare minimum it will give you that boost you are looking for. 

If you don’t already have a juicer – get one! It’s worth it. Buy organic celery and make ½ cup juice per day. Enjoy ¼ cup in the morning and ¼ cup before bed. 

True Story – I was experiencing IBS symptoms and my doctor told me that there isn’t a cure. It went on for about 3 weeks. It was awful. I refused to believe that there wasn’t a cure and decided to go back to the basics – the natural way. I juiced celery and drank it morning and night for 1 week and my symptoms went away! I feel completely better and back to myself.  ~Rosita 

While the story above is true, it may not be your story and how you feel everyday is unique to you and your health. However, we have found that the benefits of celery juice are so big that it will help most everyone. Of course if you try it and it doesn’t make you feel good, you may need to go for an alternative. Remember though, with cleansing and cleaning your belly, sometimes it can be a little uncomfortable at the start. 

Note that while you can opt to do a celery juice detox where you limit your diet for a short period of time to celery juice. However, in the story above, celery juice was enjoyed in the morning and before bed, with healthy delicious meals in between! 

5 Benefits of Celery Juicing

1. Low in Sugar 
2. Reduces Inflammation 
3. Improve digestion 
4. Increase Circulation 
5. Helps to flush toxins

Selflessness

Mindfulness Tip:

Our bodies clean out automatically with our digestion (and with the help of celery juice). We clean our homes everyday. Cleaning is a natural and normal part of how we can enjoy life. 

The cleaning process is not just for the physical world. It is for your spiritual world as well. 

Soul cleansing is something that we can do a little everyday or we can do a lot all at once depending on where you are in your life. 

Here, we are going to focus on cleansing a little everyday, starting with today. 

To cleanse your soul, you begin by thinking about what you are holding onto that doesn’t serve you anymore. You then find the lesson that you are supposed to learn within that problem. Next, you let go of everything that doesn’t serve, while holding on to the lesson. You can use your breath to send the things you are letting go of into a stone or the earth – something outside of you. With each experience of letting go of heaviness while holding on to wisdom, you can feel lighter and wiser. Think of this as turning your wounds into wisdom. Join me in the meditation and I’ll guide you through it. Q
