Nature always shows us the way. Everything around us is bursting with new energy. Radishes, snow peas, young beetroots, strawberries are in season. How can we use this time to prepare to a new cycle?

Fasting is defined as a partial or total abstention from all foods, or a select abstention from some foods. Fasting has been the subject of numerous scientific investigations and has been shown to help improve metabolism, and support the natural healing process of the body. It also offers us to slow down, be aware of our thoughts, emotions and connect deeper with our soul.
You might have heard about intermittent fasting? You skip breakfast and have your last meal at night, around six or seven o’clock, and you don’t eat again until noon the next day. This has shown to have a massive impact on increasing metabolism and increasing our ability to digest our food.
A great thing to do is a juice cleanse (check our Women Detox Retreat end of October) or you might choose a deeper detox if you have already fasted before. It is good to ask the advice of your doctor and/or being supported by a professional.
A colonic has also lots of beneficial effects. It encourages a whole body detox, better digestion, prevents constipation, helps have more energy…Check also Tyler Tolman 4 Day Colon Cleanse Protocol
