Juice Fasting or Master Cleanser Fasts are Amazing


I have found this niche of an opportunity to help others. I have been a massage therapist and shiatsu therapist for many years. I have been reading and following many teachers in regards to preserving this precious human body. The reason I want to stay healthy is out of sheer respect. Respect for myself, for my family, for my colleagues and for my clients.

Two months ago, I listened to a very well known biochemist from Miami, who has his own radio show and many books and articles about "health". He knows it all. He can tell you exactly how many of this or that supplement to take for this or that disease. It was very difficult to listen to this overweight (70 lbs atleast) man who could have had a heart attack at any moment.

There are so many people trying to sell this or that about nutrition. I sell my confidence in the amazing human body. I guide, coach and love you into making the necessary changes to live a balanced and fruitful life in this incredible human body.

If you don't want to be chemicalized, burned, cut upon and more, then you had better wake up. You can't ignore what your body is telling you. Please listen to the pain. It's the way your body is trying to tell you something.

I serve as a coach to people who want to finally clean out their bodies. I can coach you over the phone, email, in your home, on a retreat, or in a hotel by the ocean. You decide. How much is it worth to begin the process of healing yourself?

A Piece of Paradise for Juice Feasting

Central Coast California really hit the spot last month. From April 27-May 2nd, nine participants decended on The Sycamore Mineral Springs Resort and Spa in San Luis Obispo for a 5 day juice fast with Jill Schneider, Director of Circle of Life Holistic Programs and her assistants, Joey Borelli and Holly Langley. When we weren't drinking our organic brews, we hiked, biked or just languised in the hot springs. Beautiful location, lovely rooms with hot tubs, plenty of educational materials and gatherings, organic fun all the way around.

Setting really helps when you are juice feasting. Because, you are feasting your eyes, noses, ears and your bodies on beauty to the max. The mountains and the ocean collide with a world class spa. Massages, wraps, facials and more while you are doing the feasting on fresh organic juices.

Next program in Sycamore Mineral Springs will be from August 24-28th. Check it out at www.circle-of-life.net/sycamoresprings.html

Underlying Cause of all Dis-ease: Exhaustion - Dehydration - Malnutrition

The choices of how to take the best care of ourselves is overwhelming. From the wide assortment of supplements, certain kinds of water, air filtration systems, certain cleaning supplies to the special mattress, and the alarm clock that wakes you up with natural sounds....there are too many choices that can certainly confuse even the best of us.

True healing comes when we address three things: exhaustion, dehydration and malnutrition. The fastest way to help yourself heal is to put these issues first. If it means that you literally do not get out of bed for two days, drink juice, tea, broth and water; do an enema or two, take hot lavender essential oil and Epson salts baths, read and sleep.....you will change your state of health immensely. Try it. You can also turn off your phone, the TV and your computer. There is no cost involved. It's costly to get "sick".

Let's do a "sleep-in". There is not one person out there who wouldn't benefit from this simple procedure. It's basically just listening to what your body is asking for. Oh, but I have too much to do....does that sound familiar? Actually, what happens is that at some point your body will make you do this, by giving you the flu or a bad cold. Then you will miss work and feel crappy as well, and then, fall behind in your work. So, let's try to upgrade our health in order to prevent infectious disease. Now is a perfect time. If you can't do it this weekend, then let's plan it for next.
Here is the best program I recommend for those of you who want a self-guided home fasting program. Print out that page and go shopping. Even if you can't do the recommended ten days, which is possible once you begin it at home, just to get a feeling for what is involved. Get the book and all of the supplies and go for it. (Lemons or limes, agave syrup or maple, Smooth Move tea, sea salt, peppermint tea) and good water. Stay warm.

If you need some coaching. E-mail me to set up some phone consultations during your fast.

Create a Juice Fasting Vacation

Most of you probably want a Margarita Vacation, lots of dancing, getting dressed to the nines and partying your tush off. But, there are others, who work very hard and just know that vacation time needs to be a real time-out. I wholeheartly recommend a juice fasting vacation.

How about focusing on sleeping, eating and drinking organic fresh food, getting massages, walking along the beach, lying in the sun or in a shaded lounge chair by the sea.

I can create the healthy vacation of your dreams. Learn more about my healthy vacations at www.circle-of-life.net


I recommend and create this opportunity to recharge your battery. The body and mind can only take so much stress before it begins to get really sick. Then you won't even be able to take your well deserved vacation. Don't wait until that happens. Take the time now to learn about healing and health modalities that can help you more than you realize. Sleep, relaxation, nutrition, hydration, exercise, excellent food for the highest level of nourishment along with cleansing your colon and your entire body from toxic debris.

If you live and work in a city, you are really poisoning yourself. If you live on a golf course, you are breathing in all of the pesticides and chemicals used to make the grass very green and perfect.

We are all toxic, from our toes to the top of our heads. Take the time to educate yourself about this incredible body, which needs to be properly taken care of, if you want to function at your highest capacity. It's your time. Don't ignore the obvious.

Nothing Tastes Better Than Healthy Feels

You have just had a fabulous couple of weeks of celebrating and more. Believe me, I'm not a rigid health food nut. I had a few drinks and some chocolate myself. One of the amazing things about detoxing, however, is that I know how to do get rid of the crap, after I've had my fun. I don't like the feeling of being sugared out or numb from alcohol either. Basically, I just get back on the bandwagon and start again to consider my body and my ability to function at a higher and higher level of awareness. This is the week to do just that. Do your shopping with greater attention to the details. Consider buying less fillers and more organic fresh fruits and vegetables. The cost will balance out, believe it or not. Make sure you choose some fresh salad materials, some vegetables to steam such as brocolli, collards, swiss chard; and remember those lovely items to bake such as sweet potatoes and acorn or butternut squash. Soups are lovely as well, include some beans and veggies with some whole grains such as brown rice or barley. Consider fresh herbs to add to your salads and soups with high quality olive oil and fresh lemon or lime.

Large Bowl of Salad and small plate of other items; such as fish, chicken or meat. Personally, I am mostly vegetarian with some wild salmon a couple of times per week. I find that program works best for me. Find what works best for you. We all are different and have different needs. I recommend unprocessed, unadulterated foods, as fresh picked as possible. Start there and enjoy each bite.

Lose Weight and Feel Great with Juice Fasting

By Jill Ayn Schneider, Director of Circle of Life Holistic Programs

Improved Digestion

With the fiber removed in the juice extraction process, vital juices retain the digestive enzymes that would have gone to digesting and breaking down the tough plant fiber. These enzymes get to work on breaking down old food debris in your digestive tract.

The nutrients in the juices regenerate the glands and organs associated with digestion so digestive excretions are more vital, muscular action is stronger and your ability to absorb nutrients is more efficient.

Improving digestion is an integral part of the positive affect and improvement in the lives and health of those that consume vital juices. Improving digestion improves body health. Less undigested food in your digestive tract means more energy and a lighter state of being.

Juicing Offers Vital Nutrition

Raw vegetable juicing offers your body a myriad of essential vitamins and minerals in their most natural and potent state. Nutrients, trace elements and live enzymes are available through vital juicing that you can’t get in any other form other than fresh plant food. Vital juices require little digestion.

Juicing Transforms Your Existing Poor Diet to Extremely Healthy and Vital

Very few of us are eating the diet we need to in order to achieve optimal health. With the introduction of raw fruit and vegetable juicing to your daily diet, even an admittedly poor diet becomes extremely healthy and life-giving. Improving your state of health is possible without making drastic changes to your diet.

Juicing Reforms Eating Habits

Because of improved health due to replenished reserves of vitality and nutrition, you will find that through juicing, your eating choices improve naturally. As your health improves through juicing, you will gradually choose to eat in a way that keeps you feeling vital and physical well.

Juicing Reduces Food Cravings

The two main reasons why we crave unhealthy foods are malnutrition and undigested food matter in the digestive tract.

By drinking vital juices, you are feeding your body the nutrients and plant vitality that it craves. Nourishing your organs and cells with vital nutrition lessen the constant body yearning for food without adding more food to your digestive system.

When your cells and organs become malnourished from eating devitalized and non nutritional foods, your body constantly sends signals to your digestive system, causing an overproduction of digestive juices. If your digestive system is congested with old hard-to-digest food debris, the digestive juices become attuned to not what your body needs but what is sitting in your digestive system.

Digestive action creates a taste and inclination to eat, not what your body needs, but what’s sitting in your digestive system. Lingering food is more than likely the residue of refined and processed foods -- white flour, white sugar and hydrogenated fats (natural vital food does not linger in your digestive tract). Hence, you crave white flour, white sugar and hydrogenated fats because this is what your digestive juices are focused on digesting.



Earthly Bodies need Earthly Elements

The health of our bodies is dependent upon ingestion of the same elements that make up human cells. Human cells die and new ones are born every moment within the human body. Our cells and organs are made up of primary elements found in the produce of the earth, primarily, oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, sodium, iron, sulphur, phosphorous, potassium, magnesium, calcium and other named and unnamed elements. Ingesting enough raw material to rebuild and rejuvenate existing cells and give birth to new cells is the primary function of the human body and should be the primary focus when feeding our bodies.

Body Purification

Life can be denoted by the amount of electrical energy present in matter. Dead cells, waste, toxins and chemicals in your body have all been but neutralized by the body’s defenses. Having little magnetism or electrical charge (that is no life and no intelligence) these lifeless entities called free radicals, are attracted to live atomic energy. If there is little atomic energy in the bloodstream to carry them away and out of the body, free radicals accumulate in the body attaching themselves to live healthy cells. Free radicals attaching themselves to live cells are what cause degenerative disease, ineffective organ function and premature aging.

Juicing Enhances Body Intelligence

Our brain and nervous system is a network of organized electrical and magnetic energy. Eating foods with live energy means an increase in electrical and magnetic energy within the body, increasing and enhancing the receptivity of the brain and nervous system. Improved receptivity improves the body’s ability to communicate its needs to the brain and other parts of the body. This communication between mind and body is called body intelligence.

Getting in touch with our body intelligence is a big part of the MIRACLE of raw vegetable juicing. Your health not only improves because of the influx of potent unrefined nutrients and trace elements and an influx of vital life energy – but because of an awakened body intelligence that will positively influence your appetite and eating choices.

Juicing Improves Your State of Health

Ingesting vital raw plant foods improves health more than any other supplement, powder, drug, therapy or health program. Consuming vital plant food in the form of vital juices improves your state of health without abstinence or self-denial. It requires only a decision to consume vital juices. Or not! Your road to good health is entirely up to you. Adding vital juices to your diet will make dramatic differences to your health. How quickly you lose weight and feel healthier is relative to how much vital juice and/or vital food (ideally both) you add to your diet.

Losing Weight

A healthy body does not easily gain weight. A healthy body will urge you to exercise and eat lighter because storing food is a drain on the organs and metabolism.
