Let things come to you

What I Learned from the Master Cleanse:

"It seems to me we should start all over again from the beginning: start eating things as they are in limited amounts to allow the body to digest and assimilate just the amount it can handle with no excesses."

The organs of the body have open channels in the early morning hours between 5AM and 7AM. This is the best time to drink salt water (for the salt water flush) and a common time in most spiritual practices to perform a morning ritual.

Daily Facial Exercises:

Also, help prevent wrinkles around the mouth with daily facial exercises. Pull exaggerated “O” and “E” (as if you were saying “Eeeee…”) shapes with your mouth for 30 seconds. Purse lips right, center, and left and hold each movement for 30 seconds. Repeat. Stick your tongue out as far as you can while keeping your eyes wide.

Tension in the face and jaw can make us look older and “mean.” These exercises relax and restore facial integrity.

I think these exercises are especially important for those of us sitting in front of a computer screen in an office all day!

Word of the day:

coruscate \KOR-uh-skayt\, verb:

1. To give off or reflect bright beams or flashes of light; to sparkle.
2. To exhibit brilliant, sparkling technique or style.
