Jessie_C, Age 27, 7DW Level 1 - Colon Cleansing, Home Colonics, Fasting, Juicing cleanse. Testimonial - better focus on health

[Jessie_C]

The most important thing to me at the end of my 7 Day Wonder Freedom Level 1 formal cleanse is my renewed focus on my health.

There are many things that have already happened and many things that are in the works:

- The 7DW Freedom cleanse really helped me make better decisions about the food that I am putting into my body.

I've cut way back on the processed food I'm eating - after going through the cleanse, I really think twice about whether I want to put a Twinkie in me. I am also eating a better variety and larger quantity of fruits and vegetables. I've cut back on my meat and dairy, as well. I haven't eliminated them, but my consumption is way down and the quality is better.

- I am getting massages every other week, which helps immensely with my stress level and muscle tension.

- I find myself being more conscious of my breathing.
I am more often aware of the times when I am breathing shallowly and can start turning those into deep breaths. I'm amazed how much tension I can let go of that way.

- One habit that I wanted to change was the number of chemicals that I use in my skin care.
Thanks to the motivation provided by the 7DW cleanse, I have found a very high quality line of skin care that uses only natural, organic ingredients - things you could eat, like honey, olive oil, and goat's milk.

- I've discovered the wonders of juicing.
I had never owned or even considered buying a juicer, but now I love fresh juiced apples, lemons, carrots, you name it. There is something very satisfying about drinking juice that you have just made yourself.

- I am looking at expanding my activities.
I have been doing yoga fairly consistently, but now I am looking into how to work more walking into my schedule. I am also thinking about going back to dance classes, which I have taken and loved in the past, but let slip away as an adult.

I think that, to sum it all up, the 7DW cleanse was really a good kick in the pants for me.

I had let a lot of other things get in the way of paying attention to my health, and the resulting illnesses, antibiotics, rashes, etc. were giving me an indication that I needed to make some changes. At that point, I stumbled across information about fasting and cleansing, and after a little trepidation, it seemed like all of the signs were saying "right place, right time."

Before finding HPS-Online.com, all I knew about fasting was that you didn't eat.
Without the guidance from HPS, I would not have know anything about:

- juicing
- colenemas
- herbal supplements
- where to buy anything
- how to break the fast without making myself ill

And I'm sure that I could think of more.

And of course, there is the support from the online group of wonderful fellow Freedom cleansers.

It was so great to make a post and almost immediately receive the "way to go!" and "that's totally normal" messages. It has also been helpful to get advice, both directly to me and what I've seen given to other people, about how to make little tweaks in the process, information about different activities, new recipes, etc. It's a whole new world.

Cheers,
Jessie
