21 Day Cleanse Shopping & Eating Ideas

Pick up some humus and flax crackers, walnuts, steel cut oats, sweet potato, veggies, soy milk, peppers, mixed grain hot cereals, rice cakes, apple butter, rice bread,  yams, grains like brown rice, quinia, almonds, cashews, soy nuts, seeds like sunflower, pumpkin, sesame, almond butter tahini , beans, black beans, lentils, chickpeas, lima beans, black eyed peas, tofu, pasta sauce, mushrooms, herbal teas, sweeteners like agave nectar, garlic, sea salt, flours to cook or bake with, bean, pea, soy, potato, buckwheat, rice, popcorn, corn chips, salsa, guacamole, there is lots to eat you just have to get use to thinking differently about what a meal should consist of.  A salad with humus, guacamole, and rice crackers or corn chips is a meal!!  Today I'm going to toast some rice bread top it with avocado and tomato it's delicious and if you have a salad with it it's a meal.   Keep your diet simple and don't worry so much about plating your food to resemble a typical meal.  Think 5 or 6 small meals through the day, with some snacks, you won't be hungry.  Get some organic peanut butter spread that on a rice cake and top it with apple butter it's really good and will fill you up.

Friday Morning Communion with the Angel of Air



She who spreads the perfume of sweet-smelling fields, of spring grass after rain, of the opening buds of the rose. We worship the Holy Breath which is placed higher than all the other things created. For, lo, the eternal and sovereign luminous space, where rule the unnumbered stars, is the air we breathe in and the air we breathe out. In the moment betwixt the breathing in and the breathing out is hidden all the mysteries of the Infinite Garden.

Angel of Air, Holy messenger of the Earthly Mother, enter deep within me, as the swallow plummets from the sky, that I may know the secrets of the wind and the music of the stars.


Angel of Air, enter with my breath and give the Air of Life to my body

Know, oh Sons of Light, that the Angel of Air is the messenger of the Heavenly Father, and no one comes before the face of God that the Afridayngel of Air let's not pass. For we do not think of the Angel of Air when we breathe, for we breathe without thought, as the sons of darkness live their lives without thought. But when the power of life enters into your words and into your breathing, then for every time you invoke the Angel of Air, so do you also invoke the unknown angels of the Heavenly Father; and you will go closer and closer to the heavenly kingdoms.

Thursday Morning Communion with the Angel of Water


She who makes the rain to fall on the plain, who fills the dry well to overflowing, Yea, we do worship thee, water of life from the heavenly sea where the waters run and flow forward from the never-failing springs. In my blood flow a thousand pure springs, and vapours, and clouds, and all the waters that spread over all the Seven Kingdoms. All the waters the Creator have made are Holy. The voice of the Lord is upon the waters. Angel of Water, Holy Messenger of the Earthly Mother, enter the blood that flows through me, Wash my body in the rain that falls from heaven, and give me the Water of Life.

Angel of Water, enter my blood and give the Water of Life to my body

And you will feel like the rushing current of the river, as the power of the Angel of Water enters your blood, and like the rivulets of a stream, sends the power of the Earthly Mother through your blood to all the parts of your body. And it shall be for healing, for the power of the Angel of Water is very great, and when you speak to her, she will send her power wherever you command, for when the Angels of God dwell within the Son of Man, are all things possible.

Tuesday Morning Communion with the Angel of Joy

Angel of Joy

She who descends upon earth to give beauty to all men. For the Lord is not worshipped with sadness, or with cries of despair. Leave off your moans and lamentations, and sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord and all the earth. Let the heavens rejoice and let the earth be glad, let the fields be joyful and let the floods clap their hands; let the hills be joyful together before the Lord. For you shall go out with joy and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing.


Angel of Joy, Holy messenger of the Earthly Mother, I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

Monday Morning Communion with the Angel of Life

The Angel of Life

She who gives strength and vigour to man. For, lo, if the wax is not pure, how then can the candle give a steady flame? Go, then, toward the high-growing trees, and before one of them which is beautiful, high-growing and mighty, Say these words: 'Hail be unto thee! O good, living tree, made by the Creator!' Then the River of Life shall flow between you and your Brother, the Tree. Then health of the body, swiftness of foot, quick hearing of the ears, and strength of the arms and eyesight of the eagle will be yours. Such is the Communion with the Angel of Life, Holy messenger of the Earthly Mother.
