Spring Cleaning

"It's time to clean out the sludge in my body, my life and my house, not to mention the excess that I have accumulated everywhere around me. I don't want to live in fear of sickness, or anything else!! Fear is a negative motivator and I want to live in the positive, vibrate at a higher level. To do so, I have to free myself of those excesses. It's time to live simply within my means, so that I am not a slave or serf to any man, bank, government, health care system or even a slave to my poorly trained taste buds."  ~ Chris, a member of Raw Food Rehab

Spring Cleaning isn't just about washing down walls & cobwebs, and cleaning windows.  It's the perfect time to seriously consider decluttering inside and outside, your body and your environment.

After a long Canadian winter (and a colder-than-norm winter south of us) of being mostly shut inside, gravitating towards heavier and warmer foods, you might be feeling a wee bit sluggish in body and soul.  It's a great time to consider doing an herbal cleanse, some type of detox like a juice feast, or a particular cleanse from Penni Shelton's "Raw Food Cleanse". 

If you are interested in the raw foods or living foods lifestyle, you can check out the community at Raw Food Rehab, a great place for encouragement, recipes, information about exercise/enemas & colonics/weightloss, etc.

Another aspect of Spring Cleaning you might consider, is moving the synthetic fabrics out of your house while decluttering, and slowly replacing them with linen/flax and wool, or at the very least organic & unbleached organics.  The linen and wool are healing fabrics, adding health to your body and environment through their exceptionally high vibrations.  You can check out my other posts here and here.

Get a Spring in your step, a sparkle in your eyes, and a clear path through your house by decluttering.  Simplify life.  You'll feel clean inside and out. 

New Linen Skirt for the Simple Life

When in Halifax with Danaka we made a stop in at the Value Village, and I was thrilled to find this 100% linen wrap skirt in with the bathing suits/wraps, and picked it up for $4.  100% linen is usually very expensive, and we are gearing towards incorporating more and more linen into our wardrobes and bedding.  But here I was, blessed with a second-hand simple skirt in great condition and cheap!!  

If you want to know why we are changing to linen you can read about it over at our trimarx website. I also shared about linen here.

This skirt was a couple sizes too small, but since it was a wrap I just moved the button a bit, and voila!  

Then fantastic news this morning......I had to move the button back towards where it started, because I've lost some more weight.  Hip Hip Horray!  

************************

Just to share a secret with you......I've lost about 17 pounds now since Samuel was born.  I say 'about' because at the time of his birth we didn't own a scale.  But now we do. So it's a close proximation.

Anyways, I'm pretty excited.  I'll continue the rest of my life with The Daylight Diet (I really do need to order Paul's book) as Everette and I really believe in the philosophy behind it, and both of us are easily losing weight.  What could be better?!!

Hope more pounds come off before the wedding in June.

I find pleasures in the simple things in a simple life.

Question for You:  Is there a particular fabric that makes you feel better?  Do you have favorite clothes to wear around the house, or quickly change in to the moment you get home from work?

Vibrational Lifestyle

I am fascinated with the little bit I understand about frequencies/vibrations in our food, our thoughts, our world.  So I was thrilled when I heard this video Paul Nison did with Rico Cortes.  He even spoke about the issue of not mixing linen and wool together, which has been something I 've been pondering recently as that was a directive in the Torah.

Enjoy listening, and Be Blessed.


Here is an article about vibrations of linen and its healing properties.  You can learn more from Rico at Wisdom in Torah.
And both Zipporah Reshel Designs and Rawganique sell linen along with cotton and hemp products.

Question for You:  Do you ever wear linen/flax?
