Just when I thought it couldn’t get much more intense…… It got much more intense.
Today Kayla and I were asked if we would like to participate in the 3 day Kundalini Yoga Raw Cleanse this weekend. That’s a pretty full on combination of things to throw at me before 9.30 in the morning.
Whilst we have been eating a really healthy, whole foods plant based diet, we haven’t been doing the full on raw cleanse, so I was pretty excited to be given the opportunity. People that come here to participate pay around £400 for the weekend, and we get to do it for free! I think it’s because there is one lady coming and they don’t want her to feel awkward doing it all by herself in the low season. So basically I am rent-a-crowd.
So I cried ‘Hell yeah! Sign me up!’, not fully grasping the kind of commitment I was making.. We were then given a detailed run-down of what each day would entail;
4:30 TAKE A COLD SHOWER
5-7:30AM AQUARIAN SADHANA
7:30AM LIVER FLUSH (Whole citrus, organic extra virgin olive oil, chilli, ginger and garlic)
9:00AM ABSORBER/SHAKE (Bentonite clay and psyllium)
10:00AM GREEN JUICE
10:30AM LOCAL WALK OR REST TIME
12:30PM RAW LUNCH PREP
1:00PM RAW OR VEGETARIAN LUNCH
2:00PM FREE TIME
4:00PM ABSORBER/SHAKE
4:30 – 6PM KRIYA AND MEDITATION
7:00PM DINNER: JUICE/RAW OR COOKED VEGETARIAN/VEGAN OPTIONS
8:00PM CHANTING/MUSIC, FILM OR RELAXATION
Golly! So much fun packed into one day! An Aquarian Sadhana is a combination of meditation, Kriyas and chanting. A Kriya is a set of yoga exercises, kind of like those super hard dizzy ones I described in my previous post. The cold shower is apparently optional, I feel like I will just be rolling out of bed and up to the yoga sanctuary at 5 to 5.
And on top of that, we have been asked if we would like to do enemas to assist with the detoxification process…
Ew. Giggle.
Starting Friday, I’m gonna be one HANGRY female.
Another fun sexy day in the life! I changed my blog tag-line from “in search of the good life” to “in search of tales worth telling”, because I feel like so far this probably isn’t the GOOD life, but it’s definitely worth telling people about. So that they can send me care packages. Yusssss thanks mum for the 70% Lindt chocolate I got in the mail today. Kisses.
Wish me luck!
