Welcome to this five-day Fall Energy Reset.
This is something that I do at the transition of just about every fall and spring season.
When I start to notice the vibrant changes outside in nature,
I know that I am an integral part of that same transition and that same change.
So I honor this sacred process by going through the five elements of nature.
And so that's what we get to do together.
First day we are going to start with water element by doing a very simple water cleanse.
Now all of these practices are super simple.
Take what you want.
Disregard what you don't.
Now what I mean by a water cleanse is you're not going to change anything that you eat.
Just keep eating normally.
But we're going to be sipping hot to warm water about every 20 minutes.
So have something to boil water with.
I have an electric tea kettle.
Use whatever you would like.
And because I'm not at home all the time throughout the day.
I grab my thermos.
And I fill up my thermos.
It's a pretty big size one,
Like maybe 32 ounces or more depending on how long it's going to be.
And I set my timer on my phone as a mental reminder to be sipping hot water or warm water is warm as you can tolerate it throughout the whole day.
And this is day one of the practice.
And you can do this throughout the whole five days.
You're probably asking,
Why hot water?
Well,
First of all,
Water is a very healing element.
It's very compassionate.
And obviously,
We are mostly water.
So we are connecting and reminding ourselves that we need deep hydration.
Most of us go around,
Especially in the fall season when it gets cooler and drier,
We are on some level a little dehydrated.
So it's an encouragement for us to really deeply hydrate.
If we have any toxins that are on the interior lining of our intestines,
It can kind of get like hardened and gunked up.
And so the hot or warm water will help to loosen and soften those toxins so we can release those.
So obviously you are probably going to be peeing a little bit more than normal and that's totally okay.
Also,
You might realize that because we are affecting our digestive tract with the water,
We are also affecting our emotions as well because of that gut-brain connection.
And this is really important.
So initially,
If you do feel a little watery in your brain,
Maybe even grief comes up a little bit,
Maybe you feel agitated,
Just know that it's just part of the cleansing process.
And just to kind of feel and honor whatever emotions come up for you with the healing and cleansing aspects of pure water.
So that is your reset for today.
Really connect with the water element,
Sipping hot to warm water about every 20 minutes.
Set a timer.
And I will see you tomorrow for day two of our reset.
