Dear Friends,Thank you so much for joining me on this Chakra Detox Diet and Healing Journey of Mind, Body and Spirit. I am so happy you are here to join this healing journey with me. LIFE is a MAGICAL. Well…it should be- so why isn’t it? What if more was possible!? How do we open to more magic in our life, for me, the chakra detox is always magical and I always end up at the end of the journey manifesting amazing opportunities, feeling better, and looking better too.
I spent years studying acting, directing, comedy and Improv in NYC and likewise, years following a divine path, theology, spirituality and healing. I have studied many different healing modalities, psychology and been blessed to have many mentors and received great wisdom in life path coaching. I am Usui Shiki Ryoho Second Degree Certified Reiki Natural Healing from Sprouting Love, LLC. I started doing the chakra detox diet in 2006 as a way to teach myself more about the chakras. For the longest time I saw my artist self as separate from my healing self. I never thought the two connected until I almost passed away – choking on a salmon bone. Salmon, coincidentally, in the Celtic and Druid traditions, is a symbol of attaining (or striving to attain) wisdom. Most people think near death experiences have to be a gunshot or a drowning…something big and messy. But, no sometimes they are quiet and silent and lonely. No matter how they happen…messy or not, they are real. Near death experiences are intended to be a wake up call.I see now how everything is connected and how life is a journey and every breath is a blessing.Trust me, having been in experience where breathing is not an option – you see how every breath is a blessing! We often forget what a blessing it is to simply breath in each and every moment. In our hardest, most stressful moments the gift we have been given is that of breath . To breathe through that moment of stress and anger, and release fear and worry is a gift.
Community and connection is more important than ever in these post Covid-19 times. Let’s come together online, in person or in spirit. I create mini-workshops/events that are led in the comfort of your home tailored to you. your friends and the season you are in to better help you manifest healing, change and spiritual empowerment!
Please know that I am NOT a doctor, so please use your intuition and seek medical advice when necessary. As with everything with this healing journey: IF YOU CAN’T THEN DON’T! This is not about perfection, but intention. Do the best you are able to. Keep what works for you and throw the rest away. This whole program is about YOU CONNECTING TO YOUR DIVINE SELF- SO YOU ALWAYS KNOW BEST!!
Here are some tips that will help you enhance your experience and tips & tricks I have learned along the way:
*Set your intention with all you do…”I am healing my relationship with food. I am mind- body- soul. I am focused on healing inside and out. I am well. I am healthy. I am happy. I am balanced. I am now living with perfectly balanced chakras.I attract health, wealth, love, joy and success in all ways!”
*Go grocery shopping. Buy the food you are attracted to. Think RAINBOW. Avoid all processed or pre made foods if possible. I will post foods to inspire you but trust your intuition. Look for the color. As we go up the chakra column we will naturally detox. *Food: be aware of EVERYTHING you eat that day. In your journal, make food entries, to track what you are eating and how you feel eating these foods. TRY to eat as much as you can of that color (or foods of that chakra) Do not worry if you can’t stick to it 100%, just be aware of what you eat and its relationship to your chakra. Keep track of everything you eat! (yes, EVERYTHING!) Some chakras will be easier than others, Keep note of that, this is where we begin to see and feel our relationship to food and our bodies. Also note what you crave…these are your body’s clues!!! How does your physical body FEEL? What did you eat? Write down what you eat, where you slipped up if you did. How did it make you feel to eat the food? How do you feel now before going to bed, did you learn anything today about that chakra and your relationship to it?
*Remember the magic ingredient to healing your chakras with food- say a blessing of gratitude before you eat! Our ancestors were onto something here and we seem to have forgotten how important the attitude of gratitude is for all things in life. Noticing the mind body connection and growing from it, with it, through it by saying Thank you to your food before you eat it will help you connect to the healing from within that food and imbue your soul with it.
*KEEP A JOURNAL I suggest first thing in the morning, write at least 3 pages in an automatic flow, do not edit just write what comes up and let it flow out. You can write about your dreams from the night before(they could be WILD). Use it to keep a food log and write about what you eat- keeping track of what you are eating is a great way to see how foods are connecting to your mind, body and spirit connection. Write about what you wore that day, how you feel, and what you are grateful for! You can also share some of these observations in the facebook group as well!I
*Begin each day by THINKING RED or BLUE whatever color it is you are working on! Take a minute to SAY OUT LOUD 10X into the mirror, your daily affirmation connected to that chakra.
*Wear the chakra color: underwear, socks, shirts, shoes, nail polish, scarfs, eye shadow, wear your color and show the world as much as you can! Do you have any jewelry that works for that chakra? Wear it!! Notice how you feel in each color, and how people respond to you in that color.
* I recommend a practice of daily gratitude- Gratitude is truly the key to opening up all the magic in your life. End every day with 3 moments of your day that you are grateful for. Say Thank you X3 and set intentions that the next day will be even more magical. Write them in your journal, say them at night before bed like a prayer and/or share in the facebook group.
*Try to take time every day to be still of mind and quiet with no interruptions. (Start out with one minute, then two, then three, etc.) Breath. Listen to your thoughts, don’t argue with them. Just Listen. Go for walks and be out in nature as much as you can.
*For each new chakra- Set your intention and prepare your space. I highly suggest a sacred space where you can focus your attention. Have FUN with it! Try to — as much as possible–imburse yourself in the color and energy of each chakra for the week. Candles of the color can also work and are beautiful to focus on at night in meditation or while you write in your journal!
*DRINK A LOT OF WATER. AT LEAST 8 GLASSES of 8oz a DAY! Don’t slack this is crucial!!! I tend to drink my calories every day, so try to replace everything with water or tea. I tend to really love hot drinks, so hot water and a drop of lemon or peppermint essential oil for me always does the trick to satisfy that craving. I have included DoTerra “Slim & Sassy” which is a detox E.O. which helps you satisfy cravings. I love it. If you can drink out of a color cup (to match the chakra) or charge your water with that energy- hold the cup in your hand and say the affirmation connected to it into the water like a blessing, then drink it with that intention, so it is. If you really like visuals take the glass of water and lay it on top of colored paper and or plain paper with chakra symbol OR you can use essential oils, one drop of an internal supplement oil that is connected to that chakra, in a glass of water is lovely, and I do this often But, please talk to me first because most oils should not be taken internally – As a DoTerra rep I can guide you to which to use that are safe.
*I will give you a yoga pose every Tuesday during the series – hat are chakra openers. Stay in these poses 07 minutes each to connect more deeply in that chakra’s power center. By the end of the workshop you can put them together and will have a yoga flow that will carry you through the journey and always be there to help you keep your chakra’s wheel turning and in balance.
*When you take a shower or bath imagine the water to be infused with the color light you are working on: let the water wash over you, cleansing and purifying you and filling you in that energy (if you can use natural mineral/sea salt to bath in–this is a natural energetic purifier)! You can also treat yourself to lovely soaps of that color to remind you and connect you to that chakra as you lather up! I have chakra reiki infused bath salts available for $5 each of $22 for all seven. If you would like to purchase them please email me at pjny03@gmail.com or private message me on my facebook business page www.facebook.com/luvnl888. I accept payment via cash, check or paypal.me/paigelussierjohnson
* stones/crystals carry the crystal with you, like a BFF, your crystal should be with you as much as possible to help you shift your energy. (I am a huge fan of crystals in the bra). At night you can put the crystal under your pillow. You can coordinate or simply look for jewelry of the color!
*Notice your color when out in the world, other people’s shirts, cars, signs, etc. Do you see it everywhere or nowhere? Make note of your relationship with this color.
*Remember to Sit still and allow yourself to “be” as well. Love yourself, be gentle and supportive of yourself. Imagine yourself living your best life NOW, having a balanced mind/body/soul connection. Allow your future to then be BETTER than you can imagine! Trust that the universe is working to make it happen.
