Spring Forward!

I love the feeling and colors of Spring! I especially love it when you can look outside and see the new blooming colors that awaken your soul and inspire you to automatically do your own internal cleansing. Spring is the time to cleanse the body, the mind, and the soul of "clutter."
We see the Earth and Nature as the perfect example of this. In the Winter, the old dies away and the Spring brings us new life!
Remember to open the shutters or the curtains, because you can't see and feel the cleansing sun without opening to it! The bright sun cleanses us on a deep level and inspires that internal growth that we call for.

Spring has an affinity to the Liver and Gallbladder for their incredible cleansing properties!
Some great foods for the Liver and Gallbladder, and for cleansing are:

Dandelion Greens (add some to your salads)
Burdock Root (Add to soups or take as an herbal tincture to help cleanse the Liver)
Asparagus (also assists to cleanse the nephrons in the Kidneys)
Sprouts
Any Greens
Greens powder
Milk Thistle (a powerful herb for regenerating the Liver! It is used in some countries to help
save the liver from the poison of a snake bite!)
Mushrooms
Garlic
Leeks
Green Onions
Turmeric (highly protective to the liver and also a great spice for Cancer)
Green Apples
Apple Cider Vinegar
Lemons
Limes


May this Spring bring forth all the beauty that you see in others and in yourself! Bring forth your true potential, and cleanse away all that no longer serves you. Remember that WE and THE EARTH are but one FLESH. It's impossible not to feel the inner peace that arises from living in harmony with her. If we forget, she will always be there to remind us!
