SPRING DETOX

It’s here! Spring has sprung and we're all finally coming out of hibernation!

 Even I felt like I was in hibernation this winter. During the colder months, we tend to move less, and eat more!  While winter can provide home movie and nice hunker down nights with your family, lack of movement can cause stagnation within the body and that can lead to toxic buildup. 

Living a yoga lifestyle teaches you so much more on a deeper level, internal healing and how to keep the physical bodies energy system vital. 

Winter time is part of natures cycle and can be a great time to restore the body, and use more warming healing foods. However if you have spent winter on the couch and eating stodgy foods and drinking alcohol, you may be feeling like it's time to get Spring Fit. 

If your systems are clogged, you may feel tiredness, fatigued, achy muscles,congested in the chest and respiratory system, and you may have a thick coating on your tongue in the morning. The coating on the toungue is a great sign your body needs a detox. 

Spring is a perfect time to do a holistic yoga and  nutrition detox. 

According to ancient Ayurvedic practice, Spring is the best time of year to detox. 

 As the weather warms, and you become more active it helps you to shed the excess 'kapha dosha', or protective fluid, is a crucial part of the transformation. A perfect time to clear out those heavier winter foods and toxins that accumulated over the past few months. We can all relate to that. 

Most people find themselves doing this detoxing process naturally without too much planning or thinking. But if you need some help to get moving it is a good idea to reach out to a trainer online programs to guide you. 

The detox allows us to feel lighter and more vibrant as we hit the outdoors again. For a successful detox, follow these steps or check out Nicky Arthur 3 Week detox Program 

1. Increase water intake 2-3 liters or day 

Start the day with a glass of filtered warm water with lemon. 

To help clean out the liver, prepare your system for digestion, and hydrate your body. Continue drinking lots of water throughout the day. 

2. Eat earlier in the day, and less at night 

Include liver-supporting foods such as beets,  greens, grapefruit, avocado, carrots, artichokes, etc. You can also add spices such as turmeric, cumin, cayenne and coriander as they assist with digestion and detoxing. In the 3 week detox program you will find plenty of recipes to help guide you. 

3. As a guiding principal eat whole foods. Avoid gluten, dairy, sugar and other processed foods.

Processed foods are hard to digest and will take the attention of your immune system and other systems needed for detoxing. Eliminate coffee and alcohol, is a must for detoxification. 

4.  Eat a light and early dinner.

This is the time of the day people get their nutrition regime out of balance. Dinner should be early, no later than 7pm and the smallest meal of the day. 

It can be a beautiful fresh  raw salad with thin strips of fish, grass fed chicken or lean beef. Or steamed veggies or a small soup or greens juice. 

5. Increase heart rate and body temperature 

We loved wearing the warm Lululemon winter fashion but blessings to the end of winter. Finally the padded and fur  jacket season is behind us. Get your shorts and Tops on and get outside more walking, light jogging and yogafit outdoors. 

This time of the year it's a good idea to take Epsom salt baths, sauna or a Bikram Yoga Class once or twice a week. Sweating  is a great way to rid the body of toxins. 

6. Meditate and  Breathe deeply. 

Practice  deep breathing exercisesto detox the mind and lungs. 

Try Nicky's 6-3-6 breathing exercise Breathe in for six seconds, holding for three seconds and exhaling for six . Repeat five  times in the morning and five times at night. 

7. Get to bed and sleep early. 

During a detox, it’s very important to get sound  rest and massage. That means putting your phone on flight mode, shutting down for proper sound sleep. 

This is when our body rests and repairs itself over night. It's crucial to provide it with sufficient down time. The sooner you learn this the better. 

8. Create your own detox 

There is so many different styles and length of times for a detox.

You can choose your length for a detox, from a 3 day 7 day to 3 weeks. 

 so determine what will work for you. I recommend if you are new to begin with a 3 day cleanse. 

A detox is purely the way I live my everyday life and nutrition which is focusing on eating unprocessed foods, eating wholesome foods with a good balance of fruits, veges, gluten free grains, nuts and seeds with some well sourced protein.

KARRATHA 3 DAY YOGA CHALLENGE

Why is YOGA becoming more and more popular?

Well if you are anything like me, you felt a difference from the very first day you tried it. 

I still remember my very first yoga class, and from that day on I knew I wanted to become a Yoga Teacher. 

Even though, and at that time I owned two amazing successful Businesses in the Hair And Beauty Industry. 

Number one obstacle was how in earth was I ever going to stand up in front of a lot of people and speak confidently?

And number two was how on earth can I do this as a career and make  that change? Number three was how on earth will I ever get into the splits or get my leg over my head! 

Looking back I can now give thanks, gratitude and value to this amazing practice called YOGA. 

Not only does it give you confidence, improves your own self esteem, self worth to follow your dreams and true passions and defines the truth of your own identity,  it has far more health and brain benefits to it than any other exercise in the universe. 

You know how much I love yoga and put it at the top of my exercise regime list, however when you learn the health benefits that go with YOGA you too will start practicing more and more and finding ways in your own life to work out how you can get along to a yoga class 3-7 times a week or start developing your own little yoga sequence. Making it part of your being, your life. The problem we have in today's world is we are too consumed by the 'doing' Yoga takes you into your mat, into your body and stills your mind so you practice 'being' have you ever asked why we are called human beings! It's all part of the key to real happiness peace and enlightenment 'learning to be and being' 

Yoga helps you reach your goals. 

On my next WA KARRATHA trip you will receive a handout of a simple easy short yoga practice, that you can easily follow and start to incorporate into your exercise regime. Do-it yourself Yoga. 

It's a starting point and it's how I developed my own daily home practice. Whether that is at the gym, park, beach or at home.

 You will also receive a 3 Day Detox Plan to help guide you through the 3 days, teaching you how simply living a 'non processed' diet really is, and tasty too. 

Thank you for supporting the KARRATHA event. Each year I visit I get to know you more and more and I feel so humbled and grateful to share this unique and amazing journey with YOU!

Vintage inspired with a contemporary boho twist, the core of the range is created from crepe, soft rayons, cottons and lace, with special detailing like hand-printed fabrics, hand-stitched embroideries and applique.

Shoes are optional. Sparkling eyes, a little moonlight grooving and Stevie Nicks are highly recommended.

MAKE THE SHIFT

DECODE your Brain.

Make The shift-  

"You are the Author of your own Life."

Mindest Tool kit  with Nicky Arthur

THE SHIFT 

Introductory – 

‘We are all on a Journey of unleashing our full potential. Are your ready to change, are you willing to 

change?

What Yoga has taught me on my journey is, how powerful the mind is  I was aware of how powerful 

positive thinking was years ago, and seemed to be born with that ‘I can do it attitude’ Maybe it is a 

second child trait. Psychology studies show the second child often wants to keep up with the eldest, 

and doesn’t seem to have as much fear as the eldest. I find this true when I look at my own 

daughters, and after sharing many stories. It reminds me of a recent story of my two daughters when 

they were asked to fly on a domestic flight to visit their Daddy, all on their own. My youngest 

daughter, millijana jumped for Joy and couldn’t wait, she embraced this opportunity fearless and 

excitement, yet my eldest beautiful centered daughter Lucia, felt anxious, fearful and not convinced 

she wanted to do this. Over the years I have studied different communication styles, including my 

own of course, and learnt her personality type quickly  and easily.  Some of these things were, not liking 

to be forced to do something without much notice and details. It is interesting the reverse psychology when you back off, 

and let go of force then the energy shifts, this is also part of the Yogic philosophy. Deepak Chopra 

speaks of this one often, let go of force and attachment. In this scenario, I supported her emotional 

needs by letting her know she did not have to make a decision right away and to have a think about. I 

was able to let her know of the positives over time and she then came to a conclusion is would be a 

great confidence builder for her. At the age of 9yrs I felt it was important she felt safe and secure with 

out force or fear. Working through our different communication styles takes courage, time and an 

open mind. One of the most rewarding breakthroughs I have had on my journey is to open my mind 

to see another side to someone else’s views with compassion, and even though I thought I was not rigid or one way 

thinking, it has helped me to learn how fixated the fragmented mind can be or become.  

This book will take you on a wonderful journey in exploring yourself to another level and help 

untangle the threads so you can feel free, live happy, healthy and most of all a real joyous life with 

love, peace abundance and carry your home your peaceful place where ever you go in life.  

 

My story. 

 

I was in a story… 

One day the old story had to end and it was time to start the NEW one, to recall upon the peace 

happiness unlimited love abundance back into my life. I was always a big believer in ‘You are the 

Author of your own life’ and I have been fortunate enough to live a most of it happy, achieving my 

goals, and choosing to do what I love to do and spend a majority of my time doing it. That is special. 

But somewhere along the line, toxic mind virus started to prop back in. Once I started to practice 

meditation, and sitting in silence this allowed me to see, feel, and notice things were not going the 

way I anticipated. There were some limitations I had stated to place in my life. It was time to get back 

into the drivers seat and gain some real momentum again. One of the greatest things I started to 

really learn was CORE VALUES. Something that had been missed early on in my life, something I was 

not taught at school or valued enough to be aware of what was my core values, what was aligned to 

my core or authentic self and what was my soul purpose. A question frequently asked my many. 

If you are reading this book, or picked it up, I am thrilled and excited for you, because you are ready 

to transform your life and just like I did get some clarity around these questions .Who am I? Why am I 

here?  What is my true passion in life and what is aligned authentic and true to my own core values and passions. 

 

 

There comes a time in your life where you just have to look deep inside at the ‘Old Story’ you may 

have been playing over and over again in your mind, and recreate yourself to a whole NEW STORY, a new chapter of your book, your life, 

whole new life, making the SHIFT to an unlimited supply of love happiness joy success and 

abundance, after all you are The Author of your Life. You get to write the scripts.  

We are all made up of energy, and becoming caught up in old negative self-beliefs patterns can 

hamper our happiness, success and even our health. This energy is so important to understand what 

thoughts you are creating or playing in your mind over and over is what energy you get back in return.  

 

You will explore how to turn your life around, find courage and conquer fear in this book.  

 

We all know going through a challenging time of your life can weigh you down, tire you out causing 

fatigue or even weight gain. Are you ready to make THE SHIFT and live life on your terms? Are you 

ready to let go what does not serve you and create yourself to become your best.  

Opening the door to explore the self takes courage, but the greatest hunger in life is not the 

materialistic things, like money, food success, the deepest hunger is opening the door to explore the 

self. It can be confronting to create change.  By providing some practical easy to follow tools in this book, I know the journey for you will be 

an enjoyable one because the number one benefit for starters is releasing anxiety, stress, boredom 

and fatigue. Its time to get excited again about your life, and feel a real deep sense of gratitude 

happiness and a self love that will keep you filled up. 

Starting with yourself is the key and this story will help inspire you to make the shift in your life you 

have been searching for. Each chapter has a story and at the end of each story gives you the tools 

techniques and step by step a guide to help you re align your life.  

 

Have you ever felt like life just isn’t going to plan, or you are living life on some on everyone else’s 

terms but your own? Ever asked the big question ‘Am I truly happy fulfilled and living a productive 

energizing life full of freedom and choices. 

 

The choices we make everyday are shaping our lives our bodies our happiness. In this book you will 

learn how to make better choices, but also reflect finally on why we muck up and how to learn from it 

and change old belief systems, you may have been living with for along time and not even realize. You 

will learn how to reprogram old beliefs that have been installed in your from a young age and re 

create new beliefs to help align your life to your authentic self so you can enjoy, peace, happiness, 

joy, abundance and unlimited supply of love, with yourself and others. 

 

This empowering story of how I personally made ‘The Shift’ will inspire you to make some changes 

today in your life helping you make the shift to increase happiness health abundance and freedom. 

 

Life throws us challenges obstacles but it is how we respond to those challenges. We also make 

choices and as a friend once told me ‘ Nic there comes consequences of every choice or action we 

take’  

Problem is how many times to we act of reacting and not taking the time to sit, pause and respond to 

the challenge. 

 

 

 

Obstacles and challenges can also occur through old self-limiting beliefs, in the book, you will discover 

a new way, techniques and exercises to help you BECOME THE BEST YOU AN and live your ideal life. 

 

Remember knowledge is POWER.  The more hungry you become to learn and become more 

knowledgeable the better you become, the more powerful you become in gaining control over your 

life.  Silence is also POWER. Learning to quieter your mind and become silent and still on a daily basis will help you DECODE your fragmented mind and transform into light. 

 

 

Here the story begins from one choice one day in my life that helped me MAKE THE SHIFT…now it's your turn.
