Stand in your power
Wellness Warriors,
On Monday May 11th, hundreds of you will be participating in our online Adventure Cleanse Tune-up (ACT). First and foremost, I am so PROUD of you. You are brave, responsible, brilliant unicorns full of healing potential. Yeehaw!
Many of you have already started to upgrade your cabinets, fridge, pantry and the secret vodka stash in the laundry room. GREAT! Toss what no longer serves you. This is your weekend to move from the darkness into the light. Farewell artificial colors and flavors, preservatives, trans fatty acids (if New York City restaurants banned this stuff, so can you), saturated animal fat, unpronounceable chemicals, whey, casein, gluten, fructose, corn syrup, and hydrogenated non-foods. These are poisons not meant for your regal being.
Remember you are a god/dess. Poo on a plate won’t do! If you don’t believe in your beauty then shut your (former) pie hole and let me do the talking. YOU ARE STUNNING! This world will suffer if you’re not at your best, brightest and most fulfilled. I will suffer if you don’t shine. When you build a daily practice of honoring yourself, thoughts rearrange. The negative hot air loses power as the truth posies push through. Got it sparkle puss?
As a result of your efforts you’re gonna twinkle from the inside out. No one can package that in a fancy French bottle! Remember, it’s not about weight, disease reversal, fixing the blues (or your marriage). Start small. Love yourself at the cellular level.
This tune-up works because it focuses on rebuilding your terrain by increasing your alkalinity. That’s all you need to remember. By consuming more alkaline foods and less acidic foods you’ll feel better, look better, and have tons more energy. If you need a little pH refresher course, please read my recent post.
Only you can ignite the glow! Commit and try to be as consistent possible. But if you flub a day it’s OK. Don’t beat yourself up or succumb to a mega-binge. “Hey, I blew it anyway so why not get high on my favorite drug – food”. That’s dirty self-sabotage speak. This “tune-up” is NOT under the supervision of your ego. ACT and be guided by your higher self. He/she loves you dearly and believes that all your dreams are within reach.
So if you stumble just be kind and remember your divinity. Pay close attention to why and what hit your trigger. Pull out your Food & Lifestyle Journal and scribble the issues OUT of your tissues. Take a walk, bark into a pillow, call a buddy, soak in the tub, rent a funny movie, do what you need to do to break the habit and then slide back into your bikini (even if it’s currently too tight) and dive in again.
Some folks may try and discourage you from changing. They prefer you fat, sick, mad and exhausted. “Oh, that’s dangerous, I wouldn’t do that if I were you! Where will you get your protein? You’ll wither and die” Huh? Since when is a plant-based diet full of salads, veggies, steamed greens, juice, nuts, seeds, beans, sprouts, gluten-free grains and breads, yummy almond butter, pates, soups, smoothies, baked root vegetables, exercise, journaling, telling someone you love them, rolling in the grass while giggling – dangerous? Stand in your power and break from the human herd. Folks like that don’t want to you to look at yourself nude (emotionally & physically) because it puts pressure on them to do the same. Screw that, skinny dip!
I love each and every one of you. Good luck and remember to join the forum. I’ll be posting daily in the Life Lounge section under Adventure Cleanse Tune-up. For a detailed discussion on the different cleanse levels, check the forum.
Peace and power,
Kris

Lovely Post, by a Lovely Lady! Thanks Kris! I’m so excited to be part of something so important. I am chanting my new mantra every second “Heal Me, Heal Me!” :)
FYI – for all who are listening to those who are trying to discourage us, I printed Kris’s blogs on ACT, gave it to my internist and SHE’S going to cleanse right along with us. If that’s not a green light, I don’t know what is! Peace, Michelle
OH MY GOD,
I love you and I have tears in my eyes!! You are my salvation, thank you thank you thank you.
LOVE IT! “Magic is the sudden opening of the mind to the wonder of existence. It is a sense that there is much more to life[or us!]than we usually recognize; that we do not have to be confined by the limited views that our family, our society, or our own habitual thoughts impose on us; that life contains many dimensions, depths, textures, and meanings extending far beyond our familiar beliefs and concepts.” — John Welwood. Now, let’s rock this thing!
You made me cry with this post… “Start small. Love yourself at a cellular level.” That really spoke to me! I’ve basically been eating this way since Monday and feel so much better already. Can’t wait to start for real on the 11th!
I could hug you right now!
Isn’t it amazing how good it feels when someone showers you with love and support? Pass it on… xo Kris
I was on the couch until 3pm today with a migraine, feeling depressed about the state of my health and my life, but this post has really got me thinking about the big picture, and how moving with ‘the herd’ is primarily what has gotten me into this mess in the first place. I am ready to FULLY commit to breaking from the herd, as you wrote! Thank you, Kris, for verbalising it, and thank you for showing us all that a better life, better health and higher purpose is indeed possible!

I HAVE A HUGE CRUSH ON LIFE!

I am really loving the shared spiritual cyberspace energy of all of this. Just shopping for some of the food (and feeling like I know what to get) to getting my iPOD tunes aligned brings possibility and smiles. Thank you for sharing and giving. Your cup truly spilleths over with an abundance of generosity.

Dear Kris,
I’ve never met you and probably never will but I have a real love for you. You make me want to embrace my ME and GO FOR IT!!! I want to honor you, your illness and your determination – all that has been born out of your suffering and hard, honorable work that has made you YOU!!! Remarkable, beautiful, wonderful you!! Thank you for believing in yourself and in us. We are all the sum total of those around us too – those that challenge us and love us and support us – sooo — PLEASE thank those folks who supported/support YOU because their love for you is flowing through you like strong, rushing river and washing through out lives for our betterment! Peace, love and I CANT WAIT!!!! Isabelle
You are amazing, like always…
Thanks for spreading your love and light. xoxo
Kris your gift for writing and saying what you feel is simply AMAZING!! I’m lovin my greenies and praying my college boys won’t give me too much grief this time around. (They do think is “cool” that Mom puts HEMP seeds in her food though! I’ve always been a granola girl and I loved Anthony’s hemp butter smoothie on his blog)
Happiness and hemp today =)
XOXOXO

I am looking for alternatives for avocados in my veggie diet. Anyone have any ideas, I get terrible stomach aches when I eat avocados.
Thanks for the encouragement! You sure know what to say to get us revved and ready to just say “no” to toxic crap! More of this when we are in the trenches, please:-) Finishing my shopping this weekend in prep for the big ACT!
As you would say: peace, love and veggies!

I love love love your post and you. Thanks for the encouragement – wahoo! And you are right on, I went to lunch with friends today and got some minestrone soup and they kept trying to push fries and soda and….NO WAY JOSE, onward and upward to the light! :)

=^..^=What a gorgeous post! Love yourself enough to start where you are. You’re not alone … And don’t let anything stop you from believing. Yep Yep Yep!
Looking forward to the days ahead. xx love, zUzU
I am about to work a 14 hour day and you made me laugh so hard at your words – love you sparkle puss!!
Hello, wow, I can’t believe I haven’t seen this site or Kris before. My yoga teacher forwarded this site to us. Where can I find out the details of the the ACT plan? It might be late notice, but I’d like to try and do this!
Brava honey bean.. I am right there with you. We are in healing overload.. I am taking duncan all his meals and not allowing the healing nazis to feed him or get him distracted with sugar……..ughh.. I am loving this new process. I dont know what level I am in but I am juice fasting until noon, raw at noon, and lightly steamed or raw at night. Duncan the same.. it seems more empowering when you take one day at a time. No matter what… you do you on thing.. I love the stand in your own power title. What a profound thought. Love you happy puppy mothers day. Callie
Callie! so good to hear that you and Dunc are doing good! Add some chia seeds to that diet too, see if you feel more energy!
deb xoxoxo
Yikes, this starts tomorrow and I need a food plan, anyone?
I need a food plan too, I know what I need to buy, but I would like some daily examples of what I should be eating for each meal/snack, I am feeling a little scared and lost.
Dear Kris,
Great entry this one. Food is just like other addiction, and u are very right about the after eating guilt, the lapse and relapse.
Thanks to u, I am 75% raw, and I m feeling great. I think my cancer cells are hating me crazy.
I know I am a late started, but am printing everything out and going to do this!!! Thank you for making me smile today and feeling encouraged
Luv ‘ya back
KS :)
