The entire package is for sale at HoopGirl and $10 off this month only. This includes a bottle of the green powder, 3 DVDs of the workshops and multiple booklets to support your experience with recipies, cleansing information and much, much more! This is the cleanse I have used both annually and bi-annually to restore my own body to optimum health. I can't say enough positive things about how much growth and healing I have experienced while using it. Combining it with daily hooping has just been a fantastic breakthrough for me. Just a few things I personally experienced while on it: clear skin, whole body nourishment and cleansing, weight loss, renewed energy and enthusiasm, excitement about applying the techniques to my normal diet, emotional and spiritual breakthroughs and much, much more. I can't think of a better way to bring in the new year!!! I hope you will join me! Here are more details on the program... The 21 Day Detox is a safe and guided 3 week detoxification program designed to cleanse, rejuvenate and lose weight. For some, the results can be life changing. This program teaches people the basic fundamentals for prevention and self-healing, through nutrition and a restful cleanse. The 21 Day Detox is a technique that does not require expensive supplements, drastic diet changes or unusual machines. The success stories have caught the attention of the media with CBS "48 Hours," CNN Headline News, KCAL-9, Lifetime Television and The LA Times. The DVDs with workshops include: Food preparation Group support Nutritional medicine Enzyme theory Therapeutic fasting Colon care Energy medicine Acid/Alkaline testing Healthy shopping The 21 Day Detox participants are put on a three-week program: Week 1 focuses on plant-based food, eliminating many of the toxins people receive in their diet. Week 2 moves you into a live-food diet with uncooked foods and two blended meals, which decreases stress on the digestive system. Week 3 is the liquid part of the program where the digestive organs get a rest and healing begins on a cellular level. The workshop DVDs offer 4 different levels of cleansing, from gentle for those with serious health conditions to advanced, for others who are already on a healthy path. The 21 Day Detox workshop is spaced by one week and held on four consecutive weekends. Each workshop class lasts three hours with a refreshment break. The workshops cover a wide range of topics such as food preparation, an acid/alkaline test, health food store tour, personal health coaching, nutritional medicine, enzyme theory, therapeutic fasting and the basic healing tools for becoming your own doctor. The workshop provides a motivational advantage for those that find it difficult to navigate the rigors of a cleanse. A question/answer session is heldbefore each workshop and helpful hints for avoiding health pit falls are offered. The course closes with a potluck feast for friends and family of the participants. Stage I - The Plant-Based Diet In the first week of the cleanse you will be encouraged to consume a plant-based diet. A move away from animal products will decrease the harmful exposure to toxins by as much as 50%. A menu, emphasizing organic whole foods, shopping guide and recipes are provided. In the workshop setting, health information on the benefits of plant based nutrition for detoxification are discussed. Class participation is encouraged. After the first workshop participants are offered a field trip to a local health food store where we discuss how to be a healthy shopper. Stage II - The Live-Food Diet In the second week of the cleanse you will be encouraged to consume a raw (uncooked) plant-based diet. A move away from cooked and processed foods will decrease stress on the major digestive organs and the supplements prepare the body for deep healing. An organic live-food menu, shopping guide and recipes are provided. The workshop DVD topics include food preparation, acid/alkaline and and the use of a live food diet for detoxifcationa and rejuvenation. Stage III - The Liquid Diet In the third week of the cleanse you will be encouraged to consume a liquid diet. A move away from a whole live-food diet to blended food will give the digestive organs a complete rest and will supply regenerative nutrients to insure healing at the cellular level. In the workshop DVDs, the benefits of a liquid diet for rapid healing are discussed. The workshop also covers the practical application of reflexology, yoga, meditation and light therapy with scientific evidence to substantiate the chakra system as a healing tool. The final workshop DVD covers helpful hints on maintaining optimum health and a potluck feast. Family and friends are encouraged to attend the final day. This is a thorough cleanse experience. In most cases more than one detox is needed. The 21 Day Detox is a technique or healing tool participants learn to apply for any condition. The overall experience is designed to teach the basics of becoming your own doctor. It has changed my life!!!! You can buy the kit here. Enjoy! I am so thrilled to support your health and wellbeing. xoxo Christabel]]> http://www.hoopgirl.com/blog/2010/03/do_the_21_day_detox_with_chris.html http://www.hoopgirl.com/blog/2010/03/do_the_21_day_detox_with_chris.html Inspiration christabel zamor hoop cleanse hoopdance hoopgirl hooping hooping diet Wed, 31 Mar 2010 16:18:58 -0800 In celebration of Bay Area National Dance Week, join us for 8 days of free hooping in San Francisco!
