Hello and Welcome!

Thank You!

Thank you for participating in this ChakWave Cleanse Course. And thank you for taking the time to take care of yourself. You have the power. In your hands. Right now. To change your life. And the lives of those around you. 

Seeking to integrate body, mind, and spirit? I know I did. And so after about a decade of testing and honing this holistic system, I decided to write it down. I also wrote this to remind myself of methods for finding my center and getting back on track when I lose my way. 

My intention in sharing this cleansing experience is to be of service in supporting all of us in living our fullest lives. I hope to encourage and empower you via recipes, meditations, activities, quotes, tools and tales relating to fresh juices, energy systems, health and wellness. 

Let me preface this cleanse book by saying I love to eat! I enjoy food, drink, fun, and revelry. And it’s also important to balance out all our joyous indulgences now and then. I’ve experienced profound healing when I’ve committed to the ChakWave cleanse, presented here as a seven day journey of physical and spiritual wellness. By creating structured space and time to cleanse, you access the potential to heal on a deep level, to lay fertile ground for a fresh start, and to sow the seeds of endless possibilities...plus maybe even an epiphany or two! 

In day-to-day life, body, mind and spirit are constantly bombarded by the influences of contemporary society. We can all be affected by the world’s pain, disease, destruction, and despair as well as the happiness, pleasure, love, and hope. Taking time to cleanse helps us peel back the layers that can dim the self and prevent our inner glow from shining through. 

Cleansing is a gift for yourself as well as for your family, community, and the world. Your personal commitment to raise your own consciousness can spread to those around you and bring everyone closer to a planet with more peace, truth, and forgiveness. We are like sponges that soak up both nutrients and pollutants from the air we breathe, liquids we drink, foods we eat, and environments in which we live. 

The goal of this cleanse is to ingest only fresh, organic, life-enhancing elements including raw juices, herbal teas, and plenty of water while concurrently releasing physical and emotional toxins through elimination, bathing, yoga, and breathing exercises. That said, you are welcome to adjust any or all facets of the cleanse to better fit your personal desires. For those looking for a shorter cleanse or wanting to incorporate food into the week of cleansing, I have provided suggestions for modifications. Even if you don’t choose to make any of the juices, you may still read the information, check out the journal prompts, and take a moment to reflect. 

After hearing about the chakra system for years in yoga classes, I had an intensely moving experience in the midst of a three hour Kundalini class where I felt powerful energy swirling inside of me. It was this sudden moment within the nexus that led me on a decade-long journey seeking deeper understanding of the flow of energy. On a quest to learn how to feed and fortify these colorful energy centers, I ventured into the world of doctors, herbalists, healers, scientists, shamans, chefs, and yogis. These adventures culminated in the creation of ChakWave juices. 

Juice is one of the purest forms of nourishment. I am in awe of the botanical realm and in service to the power of plants. After countless spills and thrills in kitchens plus many a bloody-beet-juice-splattered-ceiling, I landed upon what you see here, the seven ChakWave blends of vegetables, fruits, herbs, and spices inspired by each of the colorful chakras. 

Within the framework of a seven day cleanse, I began sharing my homemade juices with friends, family, and other health seekers in Venice, California. Soon I was delivering the juices all over Los Angeles. Participants experienced radical change: unfulfilling jobs were left behind, relationships evolved, and minds and bodies were awakened. I also found my own passion for helping to ignite the spark in people to embrace their most honest state of being through consciousness, creativity, nutrition, meditation, herbalism, yoga, mindfulness, and energy work. 

Growing up on a ranch in rural Texas, I enjoyed an early relationship with nature. Swimming in creeks and jumping on hay bales were my norm. Grounded by my earthy childhood, the discovery of yoga and chakras has been, and continues to be, a series of revelatory lessons for me. Gaining the strength to move beyond limiting beliefs, I’ve blown open my own heart to a place where I am constantly amazed by the vast potential of people and the planet. 

It isn’t always a smooth ride, but the practical chakra system helps me to live life with more presence and grace. Organizing and taking part in the ChakWave cleanse time and again has changed my life for the better. If you find this pathway inspiring, I’m hopeful it can assist you in your personal evolution as
well, and perhaps we can make one more positive connection in the communal web connecting us all. I am grateful for the opportunity to share these ideas and to grow alongside you.
