How do toxins leave the body? Through any hole, in any fluid, by any means necessary - use your imagination.

I haven't had a menstrual cycle in six months. Before that it was five months and before that, four. In fact, the very first cycle I had after becoming raw went from five days of light flow to three days of spotting. Immediately. This is a common phenomenon amongst raw women, who still ovulate and conceive, contrary to gynecologists’ misdirected monitions. What society perceives as a "normal" menstrual cycle, with painful cramps, reckless emotions, insatiable cravings and heavy bleeding, is really just another method by which a “normal” body detoxifies. No more NutraSweet, no more PMS.

On that tip, I have found Bikram Yoga to be the complimentary exercise for a cleansing athlete. It is a static hold yoga class consisting of the same twenty-six postures each and every class, anywhere in the nation, focusing on balance strength mainly in the lower body. But here is what makes a ninety minute Bikram Yoga class so notoriously unique: is done in a room exactly one hundred and ten degrees Fahrenheit. The difficulty level is not so challenging so to frighten off we already light-headed cleansers, but is just enough, coupled with the intense heat, to trip us right out. All I need now is the Pink Floyd's Meddle album and a strand of blinking Christmas lights - I’ll really be a visionary yogi. Instead I'm just another spacey actress, abstaining from food in La La Land.

Sweat is an excellent fluid for toxin removal. As well as blood, tears, mucus, and the obvious urine. What’s important is to remember that the symptoms are not the dis-ease. The symptoms are the escape. Encourage your body eliminate toxins, feel no more dis-ease.

Day Four, Chaos Cleanse: I had difficulty rising from bed after eight hours due to physical lethargy and the breeze in the bedroom feeling noticeably different than the day before: more intimate, more important, more fundamental.

It was difficult for me to put up with Los Angeles traffic today - no anger, no frustration - just the inability to be around things that don't reflect what I'm feeling. And this is the moment in the cleanse I call refinement: when you begin to notice how you sabotage yourself with poisonous situations on a daily basis and suddenly gain the clarity to remove yourself from them, like it’s been obvious all along. Self imposed cages melting away. Free Space remaining. The real you revealing.

I drank 2.5 liters of water, 2 glasses apple cider vinegar tea, 2 glasses hydrated barely greens, the water of one young coconut and am now drinking a cup of anise tea at the same little cafe in Silverlake I wrote at last nite. Seems my inner yogi found a cute young coffee boy disciple.

It’s good to be a guru.
