Panchakarma Detox
the science of rejuvenation
Pancha is Sanskrit for five
Karma is Sanskrit for action
with these five actions we will allow the body to release that which does not serve
Panchakarma is a cleanse unlike any other I have ever come across. It not harsh, it is quite the opposite experience of of modern busy life as it consists of slowing down, getting subtle and opening up so that which does not serve us can be released out of the body, mind and spirit.
This luxurious detox consists of preparing and consuming delicious sattvic foods, receiving the nourishing warmth of ancient herb and oil body therapies, daily baths and steaming and the gentle slowing down of body, mind and spirit.
This cleanse experience is very sacred. The healing will take place on an emotional, spiritual and physical level. This systemic healing occurs as your body and mind relax and stillness pervades your body. In this state of stillness, deep issues become clear and a memory of your true nature resurfaces. During this beautiful time, please set your own Sankalpa, or personal intention for this healing work. Remember, this is a time of letting go of everything that is not serving you. This allows for you to create the Sukha, good space, to bring in all you desire.
I invite you to come and enjoy this sacred time of peace and healing. You deserve it!
“The miracle of the human body is that it has a natural healing intelligence which is capable of constantly rejuvenating itself. However, when doshic imbalance and weakened digestive capacity allow toxic impurities to form, this natural capacity of the body gets blocked.
To remedy this situation, Ayurveda offers us the gift Panchakarma, the “science of rejuvenation”. In this process, the body is purified of the degenerating influence of these foreign substances, thus freeing it to naturally exercise its inherent rejuvenative abilities. ”
Spring is a marvelous time to go within to nurture, develop and plan your dreams and goals. Just as it is natural to plant seeds for our summer garden in spring, nature is also holding space for us to plant our own seeds now to be harvested in the fall. Anything done steeped in the energy of earth and water (kapha), is sure to take root and become a stable, nurturing endeavor.
It is in spring that the cold, damp and stagnant energy in the body is warming up, channels are opening and being gunk is released from its winter hibernating spots in the body and mind. It is nature’s perfect season for cleansing… in fact, we already know this because we have the term SPRING CLEANING for our homes, cars, businesses… why not treat our bodies to this same natural phenomenon.
Logistics and Details
The whole cleanse and rejuvenation experience can last 10-21 days depending on how much time you have to commit to your journey. Choose between 3 or 5 days in person with me in Longmont, CO at my home studio* OR there is an option for a DIY home panchakarma package as well.
*If you do not live in the Front Range area and still want to participate, let me know and I can arrange lodging for you at a nearby Airbnb.
The cleanse consists of three phases: pre cleanse, active cleanse and post cleanse.
Pre Cleanse: we are releasing items from our diet like caffeine, alcohol, sugar, and other packaged or convenience foods to make room for the healing meals we will consume. We begin a simple clean and nourishing diet at home along with internal oleation to loosen fat soluble toxins from the body. This part of the cleanse can last 3-7 days based on your preferences and health goals.
Active Cleanse: this is the part of the cleanse where we continue to eat clean, simples meals and if you purchase an IN PERSON package, you would come to my home studio everyday for 3 or 5 days in a row for 2.5 hours each visit to receive warm oil body therapies, steaming and you will bring home your Ayurvedic lunch and dinner for the day, provided by Bliss Alchemy.
Post Cleanse: from the comfort of your home you will gently ease out of the cleansing diet by incorporating more “normal” foods back into your diet. Recipes are included in your cleanse kit and we recommend continuing with these as long as possible.
With all of the packages you will receive these items before your cleanse begins:
Detox Tea
Cleanse Ghee
Nasya (nose) oil
Detox Bath Herbs
Herb infused body oil
Detox Spices
Personalized Herb Blend
Ayurvedic Gentle Cleanse Guidebook and Cookbook
Spaces are available to cleanse Fall and Spring of each year. Contact me to schedule.
