For the wonderful adventurous souls that joined us, this is day 4 of the 28 Day Delicious Detox, and Im starting to feel much more Sparkly after the last few days. Im finally out of the tough crappy feeling phase that happens for my first few days when I cleanse.  Its wonderful though, since I know that is my body's way of releasing all the toxins I let build up since the holidays (yes, starting at Halloween for me and my sweet tooth!).  I cant wait til Saturday to find out how my other cleansers are doing and their biggest ahas during this process!

fun flirty fabulous-that’s you baby

but triple F might be stuck in the muck that's called life.  Down in the douldrums under all the laundry to be done and the bathrooms to be cleaned

leave it all behind, baby, and take some time for you.  Climb to the top of the laundry pile and jump off, free as a bird, and close to the floor, so no pain on landing

that is, if you want to land

or should we soar like the birds, transmute into our dragonfly souls, wandering, enticing, mesmerizing…

it is you-

As we wind down to the end of 2011, I invite you to reflect on some of the magic moments of your year, your achievements and the good things in your life.  Take a moment out of your busy schedule to sit down with a piece of paper or your journal, a warm cup of tea, and some deep refreshing breaths and answer the following:

Did you know that meditation and sex offer the same effects on the brain? And as it turns out, those effects are pretty good!

A fascinating article in Scientific American titled The Neurobiology of Bliss--Sacred and Profane reported on a study that suggests that the brain reacts the same way to meditation as it does to sex. Both dissolve our sense of self-awareness, separating ourselves from our ego.
