THE GUIDE TO JUICE FEASTING & INTERNAL CLEANSING

What Is Fasting? - Fasting is a process by which the body is enabled to eliminate all the poisons, accumulated waste, mucus, dead, diseased and damaged cells (hereafter referred to as "toxins") in the digestive tract. We use fasting, cleansing diets, and esoteric exercises to accomplish our goals. Fasting has a history that goes back to Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Mohammed (PBUH). The term Fasting includes the restriction or elimination of any food. There is no single definition or one-size-fits-all approach to fasting. By presenting the guidelines for fasting and detoxification we hope that you can make the appropriate judgment as to what works best for you. Why Should I Fast? There are minute amounts of poisons in everything you eat, drink or breathe. These poisons are called toxins, and they should normally be eliminated from the body. However, our diets and lack of exercise lead to poor elimination and several things may happen: a. These toxins may be reabsorbed into the blood stream from the colon and recirculated. b. These toxins may be bound to fat and stored in the liver or elsewhere. c. These toxins may accumulate in the weakest part of the body leading to cancer or malfunction of an organ system. This scenario could take as long as forty years or more to play out, or it could take as little as ten years.

Is Juice Feasting a form of Preventive Medicine?

Yes, when you restrict food intake you heal the liver, kidneys and spleen. The purpose of our program is to rid the body of toxins and prevent further build up of these poisons. How Can I Tell If I'm Toxic? - Look in the mirror, and ask yourself these questions: Is my lower lip significant larger than my upper lip? Are there dark circles under my eyes? Are my eyes puffy or swollen? Are the whites of my eyes red or cloudy? Is the area around my cheekbones puffy? Are there deep horizontal lines in my forehead? Are there deep vertical lines between my eyebrows? Now turn sideways and look in a full length mirror Is there area below my naval puffy and swollen? Can I pinch more than an inch above my waistline ? Are my thighs or upper arms flabby? Is my skin dry, flaky or scaly? Do I have pimples or rashes? Listen to your breathing. Look at your watch and count how many breaths you take in one minute(BPM). If it is over 15, it is too many. The American average is 21 BPM. Does your perspiration have an odor that bothers you? Do you have bad breath even after brushing and mouthwash? Do you have leg pain or weak knees or lower back pain? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then you are toxic. Do not wait until you "get sick". You are already sick, but you can start the healing process by cleansing out your own toxins.

Why Use a Detox Kit for my 3 Day Fast Instead of a Water Fast?
We advocate a series of cleansing diets before actually fasting with water only. This detoxification program is designed to help clean out mucus, toxins, and other waste material from the intestinal tract as well as the major organs. These organs are able to function much more effectively when toxins and other waste are removed, thus helping the body to restore new energy. This three day DETOXIFICATION is centuries old, It was used in India, China, and Africa routinely for any number of disease conditions as a method of helping the body to help itself in restoring HOMEOSTASIS (NORMALCY). Several physiological changes occur with this cleanse that are very beneficial: a. The digestive tract will have a chance to cleanse itself of accumulated waste and putrefactive bacteria. b. Liver, kidney, and blood purification take place which is impossible under ordinary eating patterns and habits. c. A mental clarity is achieved that is not possible under the constant bombardment of chemicals and food additives.

d. Dependency upon habit forming substances, such as refined sugar, caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, drugs, etc., disappear as the blood stream is purified. When the residues of these addictive substances are flushed out of the body, the craving for both unnatural stimulants and depressants disappears. Even more remarkable, the usual withdrawal symptoms from these habits are not present during or after the Detox. e. Bad eating habits are also broken, so that as you come off the liquid cleanse, it is easy to begin with new and better habits of eating plus improving the quality of food we eat. f. When used for weight reduction or weight control, the stomach has a chance to reduce to normal size, thus making it much easier to control the quantity of food eaten. Because of the major benefits that this liquid cleanse has to offer, it is recommended that you follow this three day detoxifying program at least four times a year when the season changes. It is very beneficial to your health whether you are underweight, overweight, or at your already desired weight. This 3 DAY DETOX KIT IS NOT A "CURE ALL" but is a definite aid to improving your health through better follow up nutrition, as well as a good starting point for many abnormal body conditions such as skin problems, allergies, arthritis, etc.

What Does The 3 DAY DETOX KIT Consist Of?

1. Drinking the Master Cleanser.- This is a mixture of distilled water, fresh squeezed lemon juice, AFRAKAN cayenne pepper, and LIGHT AMBER maple syrup. We use distilled water because it is pure, with no chlorine, bacteria, or unwanted minerals to interfere with the cleansing process. With even spring water minerals may bind to the toxins making it difficult to detoxify. Lemon juice triggers the release of stored energy (fat). Lemons are also considered the best cleansing and loosening agents of mucus and uric acid. AFRIKAN Cayenne or BIRD PEPPER capsicum acts as a scrubbing agent of the mucus membrane of the digestive tracts. Don't worry, it may burn your throat when you drink it, but it won't harm your delicate stomach or intestines. 2. Vegetable Protein. - The body will burn fat and protein equally while on the cleanse and we don't want your body to burn muscle fiber for protein. BLUE GREEN ALGAE is an algae that contains every Amino Acid, the highest known source of chlorophyll (300%) more than alfalfa, every vitamin except D and E, and the ability to extract toxic minerals from the body. BLUE GREEN ALGAE also contains trace minerals, low sodium and high potassium, zinc, and iron. BLUE GREEN ALGAE also keeps your energy level high to enable you to maintain your active pace while on the DETOX.

3. Fiber. - Agar-agar is a Japanese name for a sea vegetable from the West Indies called icing glass. In Japan it is traditionally used to make a dessert called Kanten. It is also used to make aspics, jellies, and candy. Agar-agar is loaded with minerals and vitamins like A, B1, B6, B12, Biotin, C, D, and K. The high fiber (almost 90%) aids intestinal actions, and bonds with radioactive and toxic waste to carry them out of the body. 4. Stool Softener. - This natural herb mixture Dr. Love designed while trying to find a remedy for bleeding hemorrhoids. The mixture of ginger, aloe, rhubarb, senna, astragalus, and blue vervain is both for internal tissue repair and breaking down fecal matter coating the walls of the intestine to allow the other intestinal cleansers to push it out. 5. Enemas or Colonics - We recommend cleansing the colon either through enemas or colon hydrotherapy. If you have been a heavy meat eater all your life, then this is essential. If you've had some dietary changes along the way, it is not as important. Enemas allow the many poisons collected in your colon during the cleansing to be eliminated rather than be reabsorbed into the blood stream. In most persons, peristalsis (the waves in the intestines that move the feces along) is not functioning, so it becomes essential to have these poisons removed daily ONLY while cleansing. Colonics are NOT advised for persons with a history of bowel problems or bleeding hemorrhoids, Colitis or spastic colon, Crone's disease, Diverticulitis, Diverticulosis, pain in the rectum or anus, or blood in the stool. However many hospitals give Barium Enemas (which is really a Colonic) as a test for these very conditions.

The important question is how many Colonics does one need. You may need as few as three over a 7 Day Fast, or as many as 10 over a 21 Day Fast. It depends on the individual's past eating history, whether he or she eats meat three times a day, or once a day. or whether they eat fried pork chop sandwiches with lots of mayo and mustard. It would be wiser to start with warm water enemas, and then work your way to Colonics, if need be. For the first enemas (if you've never has one before, or if it was more than a year ago) only fill the bag 3/4 full. You should have an enema every morning while you are on the 3 Day Detox and every other morning while you are the 7 Day Fast. The second or third enemas should have a full bag. You will eventually work your way up to 3 and 4 Bag enemas, which is the origin of the High Colonic. As more and more people were giving themselves 8-10 bag enemas, it became clear that it would be easier to put a five-gallon tank on a stand to give a high colonic. Dr. Woods was the first person to popularize Colonic Therapy teaching courses about Colon Hydrotherapy. Sometimes we put herbs or Wheatgrass juice in the water or sometimes Hydrogen Peroxide depending on the condition we want to heal in the lower bowel.

HOW LONG DO I FAST?

Remember our motto: one size does not fit all. For most people a short fast is the beginning. People who should not fast are those who are chronically weak, heavily medicated, or emotionally distressed. Ideally a 7 - 10 day fast is best; however, if you've never fasted before, or do not have an emotional support system (i.e.. family or friends acquainted with Fasting) a 3 Day Detox is adequate. Your 7 Day fast should be supervised the first time. The reason for this is simple. Things will be going on in your body that you will be unfamiliar with. A Fasting guide or coach will be able to tell you what to do and how to avoid problems. It would be virtually impossible to cover all the possibilities here, but we will attempt to tell you about the most common ones.

FASTING SIDE EFFECTS

You may feel irritable. We suggest that your last two days on the 3 Day Detox be on your two days off. You may have headaches that come and go. You may have periods where you feel very weak followed by a burst of energy. Please resist the impulse to expend physical energy that is not characteristic of your daily habits. In other words, if you exercise regularly such as jogging, weight lifting, or dance class,- then it is okay to continue. However, if this is not what you normally do, wait until after the Detox to start. Any discomfort you may feel is due to the release of toxic material being dumped into the blood stream simultaneously from all parts of the body. You will feel the release of emotional and mental stress as well. Please remember that you are not your body. Your body is on loan; it is the Temple of the Lord and you are the caretaker. This is a good time to get to know your body.

HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS
Your skin is an organ of elimination. The opening and closing of the pore of the skin is controlled by the longs which is another organ of elimination. The following suggestions will also help you eliminate toxins making you feel more comfortable while Detoxifying. 1. Dry skin brushing is excellent for circulation by bringing blood to the surface of the skin. Try it with a loofah, by going down the outside of your arms and legs and up the inside. 2. Try a bath every evening while cleansing (as opposed to a shower). Air dry and sleep nude rather than towel dry. See Section on Internal Cleansing 3. Try a breathing exercise. See section on Internal Cleansing 4. You may also want to learn Qi Gong (14 Exercises that activate the Acupuncture Meridians), Tuina (Chinese Acupressure) or Shiatsu (Japanese acupressure), or Self Massage (Do-In or Tao Yin), or Reflexology (Zone Therapy), in order to alleviate any hidden conditions you or your loved ones may have. 5. Try going for walk for 20-30 minutes daily. A brisk walk while swinging your arms. Do arm circles by holding your arms out to the side and do eight wide circles followed by eight small circles. It massages the heart and opens up the intercostal spaces between the ribs so that you can breath easier.

11

6. Learn how to give yourself an enema. Lay on the floor on your bedroom with a towel under you. Have the enema bag already full of very warm water and check the flow of water. Place the clip on the hose which will allow you to stop the flow of water at any time. It is called crimping the hose. Lay on your left side. Pull your right knee forward. Grease the tip of the nozzle hose with Vaseline or other lubricant. Hook a hanger through the hole at the top of the enema bag. and place on the door knob or a convenient hook. (It helps to have a friend also). This will free your hands. Now push out like you are going to move your bowels, and then gently slide the tip of the hose into your anus approximately 1-2 inches. Then uncrimp the hose to allow the water to flow. When it becomes uncomfortable, crimp the hose to stop the flow of water and allow the water to find its way into your bowel. Then uncrimp the hose again to start the process. Repeat this until all the water is inside your bowel. Then roll over onto you back and massage your stomach. You can use the handle of a hairbrush if you feel you are not strong enough to massage deeply. Retain the water for at least 10 minutes. Then calmly get up walk to the bathroom and evacuate your bowels. You may have two or three bowel movements before you are ready to get dressed again.

14

If you've never fasted before, your PRE-FAST should be at least one or two days, but it all depends on your metabolism and your mind. Persons with fast metabolisms and quick minds can start right away. Others who are not sure of themselves need more preparation. The preparation period could be as long as five days or as short as one day. You will eat fruits in season only. If you normally eat more than 40 % of your diet as meat , including chicken and fish, then you should have two colonics or enemas during this preparation period. Just fruits and water (no juice) will prepare you physiologically and mentally for the reduced intake of the Detox. Remember, you are still eating, just restricting the amount. MATERIALS NEEDED for 3 DAY DETOX (To order Packaged Detox Kits see form back page) 1. 4 ounces fresh squeezed lemon juice (lemons come in different sizes - Buy 2 dozen) 2. 1/2 Gallon (64 oz.) distilled water per day. ( We don't want minerals) 3. Pure Light Amber Maple Syrup to taste and for Hypoglycemia 4. 1/2 teaspoon of Afrikan Bird Pepper as blood cleanser and mucous eliminator 5. 1 Tablespoon Agar-agar flakes per day as Intestinal cleanser 6. Dr. Love's Natural Herb Formula as Stool Softener 7. Blue Green Algae as Essential Nutrients

15

FIRST DAY
1. Mix distilled water, lemon juice, maple syrup and AFRAKAN cayenne pepper as desired. Drink one glass every two hours. 2. Before drinking MASTER CLEANSER take 2 TABLETS of Blue Green Algae with 8 ounces of distilled water 3 With first glass of MASTER CLEANSER, add 1 tablespoon AgarAgar- flakes and stir. Let sit at least 15 minutes before drinking. 4. During the middle of your day, take another 2 tablets Blue Green Algae with 8 ounces of water. 5. Before you go to bed take Natural Herb Formula stool softener 3-5 capsules approximately 10 hours before morning enema. 6. Take enema SECOND , THIRD, AND FOURTH morning. Or if you prefer, have a colonic at the end of your fast. DO NOT USE FLEET ENEMA. Purchase Hot Water Bottle Enema at drug store. 7. You may drink any additional water or herb tea that you desire, however, you must drink at least 6 glasses of the Master Cleanser. 8. Be diligent and vigilant. NO SOLID FOOD DAY #2 and DAY #3 Same as above.

16

BREAKING THE FAST

This is very important, because if you break your fast incorrectly you may undo all the good you have just done. Your stomach has shrunk and you must eat very small amounts of easily digestible food to allow your stomach to adjust properly. After years of overuse you gave it a vacation and I'm sure your stomach was enjoying it. WHEN YOU REINTRODUCE SOLID FOOD FOLLOW THIS GUIDE VERY CAREFULLY. A. Eat no more than 1/2 pound of fruits in season. Later you may have some miso vegetable soup. This is all you may have the first day except for fruit and water. B . If you wish to institute a rapid weight loss program at this time, you may substitute the BAHAMIAN DIET , or CORRECTION CONNECTION. C. Persons whose diet is 40% meat or more should eat raw or lightly steamed vegetables. Kale is recommended, mustard, turnip and collard greens, spinach (best raw), broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. Chew very carefully and thoroughly at least 50 times. If your diet is 30% meat or less, you can start with 1/2 pound of black grapes. Later, you can have steamed vegetable miso soup. DO NOT overeat.

17

DAY AFTER BREAKING THE FAST

The second day you should have a glass of carrot-celery- beet juice and a few hours later a small fruit. Later in the day, a small salad. This second day is very important; don't blow it by eating unconsciously. THIRD DAY Vegetable juice in the morning, and at mid morning a small citrus juice. Around lunch time, a salad without lettuce or tomato, (preferably cabbage, celery, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms). Later in the afternoon a small fruit in season. Dinner will be steamed vegetable miso soup. FOURTH DAY You may have fruits for breakfast, and a big salad for lunch. Dinner will include 1/2 cup cooked brown rice and miso soup with vegetables. FIFTH DAY The fifth day is also very important, because if you are going to change your diet, this is the day to do it. If you don't change your eating habits now, whatever benefits you've gained will be lost.

18

7 DAY FASTING PROGRAM

The 7 Day Fasting Kit is an ideal aid to those who are prepared to fast seven days. It is actually easier to do than the 3 Day Detox Kit. (To order Packaged Detox Kits see form back page) WHY SHOULD I FAST SEVEN DAYS ? All of the reasons for fasting were already described in detail in the 3 Day Detox section. However there is a particular reason for fasting seven days in preference to three days. Actually healing takes place the longer you fast. As the liver directs the burning of stored energy for fuel, there is available extra energy that is not being used for metabolism. It is used for tissue repair and self healing and maintenance. Ideally one should fast whenever you feel discomfort or the start of an illness. Usually this is instinctual. However our culture tries to falsify our natural inclinations. Seven days is an ideal time to fast and self heal whenever the seasons change. WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE 7 DAY AND 3 DAY KITS? The first difference is the stool softener. Made from a Chinese formula where the main ingredient is Peach Kernels, it is smaller and milder, because you must take it for seven days straight. The second difference is that the cayenne pepper is in a capsule mixed with Garlic. You don't have to drink it. Some people get used to the taste of cayenne pepper and actually enjoy it. The third and final difference is the addition of Bee Pollen. It is used for stamina, but also has nutrients of every description.

19

WHAT DOES THE 7 DAY FASTING KIT CONSIST OF ?

Blue Green Algae, Chinese Herb Formula Stool Softener, Agar-agar flakes, Cayenne/Garlic Capsules, and Bee Pollen. If you have a juicer then you should have vegetable juice for breakfast and dinner, and fruit juice for lunch. If you don't, you'll need 8 oz. fresh squeezed fruit juice twice daily and get 8 oz. fresh squeezed vegetable juice for lunch at a health food store nearby. FIRST DAY 1. Drink fresh squeezed fruit juice in the morning with agar-agar flakes, blue green algae and bee pollen for breakfast 2. Drink fresh squeezed vegetable juice at luncheon with cayenne/garlic capsules and blue green algae. 3. Drink fresh squeezed fruit juice with bee pollen and blue green algae in the evening. 4. Take 7 stool softeners at bedtime each night 5. Self Administer enemas every other morning or take a Colonic before and after the seven days. 6. Any additional lemon/water or tea is DAY #2-7 1. SAME AS ABOVE encouraged.

20

BREAKING THE FAST Everyone is different, however breaking the fast is usually the reverse of doing it. A. Start off with fruit only for TWO DAYS. Maximum amount is 1 1/2 pounds per day. Then gradually reintroduce other foods back into the system, one each day. Don't try to rush it by eating too many different foods too fast. You will regret it. B. If you wish to institute a rapid weight loss program at this time, you may substitute the BAHAMIAN DIET , UNIVITE, DIAMITE, or CORRECTION CONNECTION. C. Persons whose diet is 40% meat or more should eat raw or lightly steamed vegetables. Kale is recommended, mustard, turnip and collard greens, spinach (best raw), broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. Chew very carefully and thoroughly at least 50 times. If your diet is 30% meat or less, you can start with 1/2 pound of black grapes. Later, you can have steamed vegetable miso soup. DO NOT overeat. THIRD DAY AFTER BREAKING THE FAST This day you should have a glass of carrot-celery-beet juice and a few hours later a small salad. Later in the day, a large salad (no dressing). This second day is very important; don't blow it by eating unconsciously.

21

FOURTH DAY Start with Vegetable juice in the morning, and at mid morning a half pound of fruit. Around lunch time, a salad without lettuce or tomato, (preferably cabbage, celery, carrots, broccoli, mushrooms) or dressing. Later in the afternoon another half pound of fruit in season. Dinner will be miso soup with steamed vegetables. FIFTH DAY You may have FRUIT SALAD for breakfast, and a big VEGETABLE salad for lunch. Dinner will include one cup of cooked brown rice with vegetable miso soup. SIXTH DAY You may have cereal with your fruit for breakfast, Lunch will be a veggie burger in whole wheat pita. Dinner will be 4 oz. beans and 8 oz. rice. SEVENTH DAY The seventh day is also very important, because if you are going to change your diet, this is the day to do it. If you don't change your eating habits now, whatever benefits you've gained will be lost. You may have cereal with fruit, Rice and Beans for lunch, and dinner will be steamed greens, homemade soup, brown rice and tofu.

Whether you have emotional, physical or spiritual imbalance,
28

one of these programs will help get on the right path.

Changing your thinking Acknowledge stress

Find out where the stress is in your life. Study your reactions to it. Make a list of changes to implement. Identify it, label it, and watch it shrink. Change your situation- switch jobs, switch schools, switch apartments, switch lovers. If you can't change the situation, change yourself. Find a way to embrace the situation. Love those who torment you. Love those who confront you. They are your teachers. That which you fear, controls you. If you have to sweep floors, love sweeping floors. Let go of Fear and other negative thought patterns.

Self Acceptance - Learn to love your self.

Be your own parent and treat yourself as if you were the child. Think positively. Learn Self Hypnosis. Learn Neurolinguistic programming
LOVE IS THE ANSWER. HUGS ARE ESSENTIAL. LOVE IS THE KEY TO YOUR POTENTIAL

Positive Thinking with Affirmations - Are a way of talking directly to your subconscious (Spirit Guides?) to help you get what you need in your life, once you are clear about the problem. Write down what you want and then affirm it by writing; Each Day in Every Way I am Better and Better or This now manifests for me. or I have everything I now need or I now have total intention to create this here and now

29

or Golden Light - Divine Light - Divine Love are Flowing Through me and Radiating From me to Everything around me. or The universe is Unfolding Perfectly I don't have to Hold on I can Relax and Let Go I can Go with the Flow or I am a Lovable and Loving Person or Divine Love is Guiding me and I am always Taken care of or The universe always provides me with what I need

#2. FASTING
Fasting is the key to changing your downward spiral. Every healing system that I've studied recommends fasting. Some people have convinced themselves that if they don't eat for three days, they will die. You can go 7 days without water and 30 days without food with no serious damage to the body. A 3 day Detox is easy once you've determined to make the change in your life and you believe that you will derive some benefit from it. It is difficult to make a lifestyle change if you are under heavy stress. There are spiritual benefits as well as physical benefits from fasting. Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, and Buddha all fasted 40 days for spiritual enlightenment. You can fast three days and receive emanations from heaven while reducing the negative pull from earthly vibrations.

30

#3. EXERCISE & MASSAGE

Exercise & Massage Clears Meridian System Everyone knows that we need exercise, but no one knows how much. Balance is the key. If you are a sedentary person, have a sedentary job, or have a lot of mental activity, you need to balance with strenuous exercise. Similarly, if your job is digging ditches or chopping wood, you need small amounts of fun exercise like roller skating. You need to commit yourself to a minimum of 3 hours per week of exercise, 1 hour/3 times a week; 45 minutes/4 times a week; or 1/2 hour/6 days a week. Only you can decide what is best of you. You want to go dancing or skating 3 hours on Saturday night in a smoke free environment. Or you may go hiking or biking for 3 hours on a weekend. That is a start. Some people prefer daily amounts like a 30 minute run/6 days per week. Please remember that in running, it is time, not distance, that is important. There are three types of exercise: 1. Aerobics - skating, skiing, running, swimming, dancing, biking, trampoline and jump rope. 2. Flexibility - stretching, calisthenics, yoga, Tai Chi, and Qi Gong. 3. Strength Training - free weights, nautilus and climbing. There are many sports that are combinations of the above, such as golf, tennis, bowling, and archery. Some sports only exercise one or two major muscle groups. So one must have variety in sports as well as food. For example, running won't exercise abdominals and biking won't exercise hamstrings. The all-around best exercise is dancing, free form. A few classes in fundamentals though, would be very beneficial. Exercise reduces body fat, firms muscles, improves circulation and digestion, releases emotional stress, and increase alertness and energy.

We don't believe in strenuous activity unless you have at least 3 months steady build up of stamina. Moderate exercise over the years is more beneficial than spurts of strenuous activity. Everyone knows that we need exercise, but no one knows how much. Balance is the key.

Strength Training - free weights, circuit training, nautilus and climbing. Weight lifting does three very important things. Immediately it takes the glandular secretions out of the body, like anger, fear, depression, and despair. Short range of 3-6 weeks it aligns the body and strengthens the muscles and bones, which are interrelated with the activities of the spleen. Medium range 3-6 months it builds confidence and improves your attitude towards the world. Long range 1-3 years it increases the body's ability to withstand stress because stress attacks the muscles first.

32

There are many sports that are combinations of the above, such as golf, tennis, bowling, and archery. Some sports only exercise one or two major muscle groups. So one must have variety in sports as well as food. For example, running won't exercise abdominal and biking won't exercise hamstrings. MERIDIAN QI GONG is all-around the best exercise because it combines breathing, meditation and strength training. Maximum 18 hours/week IDEAL - 90 MINUTES SIX DAYS/WEEK MASSAGE A series of massages will go a long way in relieving some of the surface stress. There are many types of body work that come under the heading of masso-therapy. Rolfing is deep tissue massage. Hellerwork is deep tissue also but with a little lighter pressure. Trager is connective tissue massage. Shiatsu is Japanese acupressure. Tuina is Chinese medical massage. If massage is unaffordable or inconvenient then a hot tub or sauna and steam is advisable. MASSAGE is the THIRD most important thing you need done Twice a week when you are ill, but once a week will prevent disease. IDEAL - ONCE A WEEK

4. MEDITATION AND VISUALIZATION

Everyone knows that meditation is useful, but not everyone knows how to use it. Meditation in our culture is particularly useful for calming the noise pollution, air pollution, rude and ungracious persons, crowded buses and subways, ungrateful bosses and co-workers, family invasion of privacy, unpaid bills and like. We need to meditate for clarity of thought and purpose, as well as to prioritize our intentions. Any project or commitment should be meditated on daily. Many of us meditate without even realizing that we are meditating when we stare out of a window or into space. We need to cultivate this habit more. 1. QI GONG Walking Meditation - Stand balanced as your arms extend upwards to the right, step out with your right foot. As you bring your arms down, shift all your weight to the right leg. As you extend your arms upward to the left, step out with left foot. Repeat motion, walking in a circular pattern for five minutes, breathing as your arm goes up, and out as arms go down. In the beginning this requires concentration, but if you practice everyday it will get easier and easier, until you get in a space where you are not your body. 2. Chanting Meditation - 30 minutes - Can be done in sitting position. Back and spine must be fully erect. Breath from diaphragm, and your sound must emanate from there. What are we chanting? You must have a mantra. If you investigate you will find there are many hundreds of mantras. Depending on your religious upbringing there may already be a mantra for you. They are usually 3 or 4 measures, i.e., Je-sus-Christ; Al-lah-Hu; Ha-re-Krish-na; Namyo-Ho-ren-Geikyo; Om-ManiPadme-Hum. These are all mantras. However, there are many that are longer. AMEN-RA SUTEN NTR, ATON RA
34

NEBEN ANKH. HERU PU MAAT KHERU, HERU MAAT HERU Which mantra is for you? 3. QI GONG Standing Meditation - 5 minutes. Feet shoulder width wide apart, knees bent like sitting down, only tension in the body is in the front of thigh and back of calf. Arms held loosely in front of you like holding a barrel, hand relaxed. If you are familiar with horse stance in martial arts this is not a strict version but should be close to it. 4. Sitting Meditation - 30 minutes. If you can't cross your legs yoga style, don't worry about it. Sit on the edge of a chair with knees below hips, or on a cushion so that knees are on floor. Fold hands in lap so that thumbs almost touch. Elevate head so that eyes are looking 30 above horizon. Unfocused eyes, breath slowly and deeply, counting to 7, while exhaling only. Keep spine straight. 5. Lying Meditation - 30 minutes. Lie flat on floor, spread eagle. Breath in one count of five heartbeats. Breath our on count of 10 heartbeats. When praying, have the intention of receiving what you ask for. Explain to the Creator why you need what your are asking for. Be very clear about it. Then visualize yourself receiving it. While you are praying, close your eyes and hold your hands so that the fingertips touch and your thumbs are directly over your heart. Send out rays of light to the Creator and focus on what you are praying for.

Guided Visualization- Image in the Immune System

A relaxation tape or breathing meditation followed by the guided imagery of a special place and visualization of your immune system defeating the illness. It is important for the individual to create

his own special place and his or her, own image of what and how the immune system is doing to enhance itself.

35

In building our immune system, we can visualize the color blue like a Robins egg. Then envelop yourself within this transparent electric blue egg membrane shielding yourself from whatever negative energy, illness, and so on. Do this visualization every day as your meditation, morning and evening. Another visualization is the Golden Pyramid. Sit cross-legged and imagine a golden light coming from the top of your head down in four directions forming a square on the ground around you. Then connect that golden light from the top of your head up to the sun and from your spine down into the center of the earth. As you complete all the connections state to yourself, " Ground and protect, ground and protect". Either of these visualizations is preceded by a meditation or breathing exercise. This will protect and enhance your immune system.

5. CHANGE OF REST AND SLEEPING PATTERNS

Ideally, bedtime is 1-3 hours after sunset. Rising time is 1-2 hours after sunrise. One should see the sun rise and set every day. Best time for meditation is at those times. Best time for exercise is after meditation. Additional rest outside of sleeping is needed for people who have hard physical work. If you shower or bathe before bed you will sleep better. Cleanliness is next to Godliness means that water washes away negative vibrations. Scrubbing your self very hard stimulates acupuncture meridians. Use a shower massager if possible. Night work throws the body out of balance. After 6 months the
36

brain begins to malfunction. Because on your days off you revert back to normal schedule. What does this mean for those of us who work 9-5 and have part-time jobs and extra curricular activities? What about those of us who have families? "I can't go to bed at 9 p.m., I have too many things to do". Think about those who work 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. They have to get up before 5 a.m. and be in bed no later than 9:30 p.m. If they can do it, so can you, and you'll be much better off. Ideally, if you work 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. you should sleep 9 p.m. - 5 a.m. If you work 11 a.m. - 7 p.m. you should sleep 11 p.m. - 7 a.m. If you work midnight's to 8 a.m. you would sleep noon - 8 p.m.

6. CHANGE OF EATING PATTERNS

Breakfast is the most important meal because it fuels your brain. Protein should be eaten at the first meal for the same reason. Eat breakfast like a King, Lunch like a Prince and dinner like a Pauper. Prepare breakfast and lunch the night before. Fruit salad, cooked or dried cereal with rice or almond milk. Toasted 7 Grain bread with almond or cashew butter and dried fruit jam. Take lunch with you. Leftover rice & beans with stir fry veggies are delicious. Dont eat after 6 pm. Eat a larger lunch, late and skip dinner, or eat a fruit or small salad. If you dont have time for lunch, eat two snacks, like soup in a cup or raw veggies or seeds and nuts.

37

DAILY ROUTINE Starts when the sun goes down UPON RETURNING HOME FROM DAYS WORK 1. Immediately remove clothing and shower, allowing the water to hit your neck and spine. Meditate flat on floor with no music or diversion. 2. Eat before sundown. 3. After sun down walk at least 30 minutes. 4. Communicate with family and friends. 5. Prepare clothes and necessary items for the coming day. 6. Make tomorrows lunch and breakfast and prepare for bed. PREPARE FOR BEDTIME 1. Hot Bath or shower, allowing the water to hit your neck and spine. 2. Air dry, without a towel in a comfortable posture. 3. Meditate to soft music. 4. Review the events of your day. 5. As you lie down for sleep, start your deep breathing exercise. 6. Program your mind for the next day with pleasant thoughts and accomplishments. PREPARE TO GREET THE SUN 1. Get up 2 hours before leaving for work and drink half glass of warm lemon water to prepare digestive tract for food. 2. Perform yoga exercise "The Lock" stretch the digestive tract. 3. Perform morning ablutions. 4. Perform yoga exercise "the Sun Greeting" or any breathing and stretching exercise that is comfortable. 5. Start any exercise that you are currently doing, i.e. jogging, running, power walking, weight lifting, etc.

GUIDE TO INTERNAL CLEANSING

39

BATHING RITUTALS & SHOWERS

BATHING in ancient Egypt was a religious matter. Cleanliness is next to Godliness. One could not enter the temple unless one had properly cleansed ones feet and body. Even the priests had to ritually bathe before entering the holy of holies. The royal women had a refined use of the bathing technique. Every day they would take a succession of baths; first cold, then tepid and then hot. The hot bath, which was scented with fragrant oils, was followed by an aromatic massage, probably with cedarwood oil or cypress. Although the Egyptian system of bathing was partly adopted by the Greek Asclapians, the general public never gave it the elaborate development of the Romans, which followed them. What we call call a birdbath or fountain is just a basin which is what the Greeks basically bathed in public. The Asclapians were followers of the God of Healing, a dedicated group of healers in the Egyptians tradition of Imhotep. They later became the Therapeutae. The Romans must have been the greatest bathers of all time. The Thermae or public bath formed one of the most important feaures of Roman social life. At one time there were almost a thousand public baths in Rome. In Turkey, Thermapoli is the site of a Roman bath built over a natural hot spring. The Roman Ruins are still lying in the hot pool where a modern hotel is now built. The procedure was to undress and enter a room called the unctuarium, which had shelves of terra cotta jars containing perfume and fragrant ointments. After a preliminary oiling he proceeded to the frigidarium or cold bath for a quick stimulating rub down. Next came the tepidarium or tepid bath and the caldarium , the hot bath, which was heated by a furnace underneath called the hypocaustum , the predecesor of our modern steam bath. While in the hot tub he scrubbed himself all over with a bronze comb called a strigil, at the same time pouring scented oil over his body from an ampulla (a small bottle). After the hot bath came a massage with aromatic oils. Roman woman usually were
40

attended to at home in the style of the Egyptians. Slaves called cosmetae were overseen by the ornatrix, the mistress of the toilet. They were bathed in hot scented water. After bathing, the hair was styled, dyed, and treated with fragrant oils. The face was massaged, the cheeks painted with fucus, a kind of rouge and the eyes shaded. Finally the neck and shoulders were massage with scented oils and the rest of the body lightly washed in rose water. Most Egyptian women were naked from the waist up in public. The public Turkish bath or sweating houses became popular during the fifteenth century in Constantinople. They were direct descendants of the caldarium of the Roman Empire. The northern Europeans, particularly the British and French did not believe in bathing more than once a year. They were afraid that a cold would catch them and they would die. Even now many Germans only take a bath once a week. That once a week philosophy was American as well until indoor toilets and baths became popular after WWI. Everyone needs to cleanse their toxins periodically. A hot bath once a week is a mental and physical lift. Try a regular bath with Batherapy mineral salts. An Aromatic bath is a lift to the spirit as well as the nose. Most people prefer a stimulating bath in the morning and a relaxing bath in the evening. But the best way to judge which essence oil to use is whatever you feel like at the time. Your intuition will guide you to what is good for you. HOT TUB - good for tired, sore, aching muscles. Allow water jets to hit the bottom of your feet and low back. If you can't make up your mind which bath to try or can't find the ingredients try the General purpose is bath listed below. Lemon or Lime Bath- Juice of three lemons or four limes in full tub of hot water. Add eucalyptus oil. If you can't fine the oil, Boil eucalyptus leaves from florist with garlic, and add to bath. Soak for

41

15 minutes. Massage with Wintergreen oil. Good for aches pains, arthritis, colds, and viruses. Try this every Monday. Essential Oil Bath Emotional, Spiritual and Energetic harmonizer. Use oil of rosewood, geranium, lavender, rosemary, juniper, bay leaf, cinnamon, lemongrass, marjoram, pine or sandalwood dosage as per aroma therapy. Try this every Wednesday. Use 6-10 drops. Do not expect an immediate effect. The result will be felt later. General Purpose Bath - Just about everyone on the planet can benefit from a series of baths to remove radiation and heavy metal deposits as well as to cleanse the lymphatics. 1 Cup of Clorox brand bleach (no substitutes) in full tub of hot water, soak 20 minutes. Shower with soap afterwards. Follow this with a baking soda bath. 34 pounds of baking soda soak 20 minutes. Repeat once a week for six weeks every Saturday. Epsom Salt Bath- Old standby for Self detoxification. Add 2-4 pounds in full tub for 15 minutes. Do this once a month following 3 Day Detox. Sea Salt & Baking Soda Bath- For those who find Epsom Salt too draining, add 2 pounds of each in full tub of hot water for 25 minutes. Red or Green Clay bath- Clears the energy field, good for skin conditions. Add one cup of clay to full tub of hot water for 30 minutes. Apple Cider Vinegar Bath - Good for bacterial infections and certain skin conditions. Helps to acidify the body, thus having an anti-bacterial effect.

Therapeutic Bath Salts This is used to revitalize your magical/spiritual energies during the gloomy winter months. In a bowl combine 3 cups) Epsom salt 2 cups) baking soda and 1 cup) Sea salt . Add several dried Hibiscus flowers. Use 1/2 cup each time in 1/4 tub of water. You should get 12 baths out of the mixture. To each bath add 30 drops Sandalwood Oil, 20 drops Rosemary oil and 10 drops Frankincense oil. Summer Bath- Combine 3 cups dry powdered milk plus 2.5 cups finely ground oatmeal. Add 4 oz. lavender flowers and 4 oz. elder flowers. Use 1/2 cup each time in 1/4 tub warm water water. Ginger Tea Bath for Winter This a wonderfully fragrant bath.

Let set for 15 minutes and add to warm bath water. Aphrodisiac Bath- you can add a few drops of vanilla essence to your bath. Showers In our fast paced society sometimes we only have time for showers. Some of us don't even have bathtubs. A shower was basically a good idea. It reminded one of waterfalls. Of course a waterfall put negative ions in the air, which accelerated the healing process. Unfortunately a shower will use 25-40 gallons of water depending on how long you stand in it. A bath will only consume 10-15 gallons. Military Shower - Alternate hot and cold water. Wet one minute. Turn off . Lather up. Rinse off DeChlor Shower - Alternate hot and cold water 3 minutes each for 12 minutes.

43

Relaxation Shower- Use Shower Massager on your neck, shoulders and low back. Steam Shower - Put towel under door and close windows. Run Hot water for 5 minutes then get in for 15 minutes. Scrub with loofah.

SWEATING
STONE LODGE or SWEAT LODGE - This Native Amerikan Ceremony is religious in nature. The purpose is to ask the Spirits of the Stone to release you from all poisonous thought, actions etc. and to allow your Holy Spirit to guide you. If you are invited the leaders heat rocks for several hours and then place them in a small pit. Saplings are placed in a circle around the pit and a tarp is thrown over it. You place corn and tobacco which are religious objects onto an altar before entering the lodge. The leader of the sweat says prayers and then periodically drips water with sage in it onto the hot rocks which create clouds of steam. The prayers continue as the peace pipe with organic tobacco is passed around. Everyone is required to say prayers when they receive the pipe. This continues for several hours until the leader decides it is time to exit. Then the group enters a nearby stream or pool to cool off which completes the cleansing and closes the pores of the skin. SAUNA - Dry sauna is recommended for those holding fluid (edema) STEAM ROOM - Recommended for everyone

44

Breathing The Mind Body Link

There are many breathing exercises for various spiritual, esoteric and health reasons. Start with the Breath of Fire. It requires you to breath in and out as fast as you can, which will strengthen your diaphragm and lungs. Try it laying on your back for one minute every day. Increase it slowly to three minutes and then to five minutes daily. A good breathing exercise to start at this time is to breathe four breaths per minute for 1-5 minutes daily. The concept is to make your exhalations twice as long as your inhalations, so breathe in for five seconds and breathe our for ten seconds. If that is too hard then use your heartbeat as a measurement instead of a second, or cut down to inhaling on four counts and exhaling or eight counts and so on. Start for one minute, twice a day every day until it becomes easy, then increase to two minutes and so on until you reach 5 minutes. Do not do this exercise more than 5 minutes. Without spiritual counseling, you could place yourself in danger. The energy that is created is very powerful and you must learn how to channel it.

EXERCISE & MEDITATION

(See Meridian Qi Gong Blue Dragon Longevity Exercises) A non-strenuous exercise program would be good to start at this time, such as Yoga, Qi Gong or Tai Chi Chuan. There are many form of meditation. Standing, sitting, walking, chanting, singing, dancing, eyes open, eyes closed, etc.

45

YOGIC CLEANSING
ROOT LOCK - It is a simplified combination of Deer, Crane, and Turtle forms of Nei Kung Exercises, with Kapalabhati and Uddiyana bandha Yogic exercises. The purpose is to internally massage the entire digestive tract from esophagus to anus. We break the exercise into three parts to make it easier to learn. Anal sphincter - Practice opening and closing the anus. Push out like you are going to defecate and then pull it back. Practice this 10-20 times once a day. Once you have mastered that bend over and put your hands and your full weight on your knees while doing the next part. Abdominal Contraction- Empty the lungs, strong and forcefully, breathing out and hold your breath while sucking your stomach in and out quickly 10 times. Breath several times and then repeat. Do this three times in succession once a day until you have mastered it. Neck and Spine stretch - With hands on thighs and trunk bent slightly forward stretch spine like a turtle pushing his head as far out his shell as he can. Once you have mastered all three parts you can do them simultaneously. You will feel the esophagus contract along with the intestines and the rectum. By exercising the rectum and anal muscles one is stimulating all the endocrine glands. The energy goes from the sexual glands up to the adrenals up to the pancreas, thymus, thyroid, pituitary and finally pineal gland. These seven glands are called the seven houses in Taoist Chinese Medicine. Since two thirds of the endocrine system is included in the immune system, anything that stimulates the endocrine glands builds immunity.

46

NETI - INTERNAL CLEANSING OF THE UPPER GATE - Nasal douche with a Neti pot, available at most esoteric bookstores. To a glass of lukewarm water add a teaspoon of sea salt. Pour a small portion of this water through one nostril, closing the other with your thumb. Raise the head and allow the water the flow down to the throat and out of the mouth. Do not try to inhale the water as it brings an unpleasant sensation. Just allow it to flow to the mouth naturally, by keeping the head raised, then spit it out. At this point, a small quantity of water will remain in the nasal passage, which must be blown out immediately by a forced expiration. This process should be repeated three times with each nostril once a week. By practicing this we can prevent infections, which get their start in the mucus membranes of the nasal passages. By internal cleansing of the upper gate (nose) we have our first line of defense in building our S.H.I.E.L.D. against the common cold and other opportunistic infections. BASTI - INTERNAL CLEANSING OF LOWER GATE - Once you have mastered the ROOT LOCK you will be able to create a vacuum and draw water into the rectum. To practice, sit on the toilet with your feet on a box between 8-12 inches high. Deep Breath in and exhale forcefully while holding it. Then contract your abdomen, while sucking anus in. You will feel air rushing into your rectum. Then expel the air while defecating. When you are finished with the defecation. Sit in a tub of water and practice again. This time you will feel water instead of air going into the rectum. With the practice of Basti once week there is no need for laxative, enemas or even colonics. There is no danger of overfilling with water or destroying intestinal flora and fauna. More importantly it is completely natural.
