Detox Day 7: You've made it!
Congratulations, you've made it through the 7-Day Detox! You've given yourself a tremendous gift this week by allowing your body to rest deeply and by aiding its natural detoxification process. We hope you've also picked up some self-care practices you'll continue to use.
Today is an important day in the program. It's the day that you take all you've learned and consider how you want to use it going forward. Maintain silence as much as you can today, even if it means spending time alone. In this quiet space, contemplate what you've gotten out of the program. Have you learned things about yourself that you didn't know? Have you discovered that previously held beliefs or habits that you thought you might miss aren't really that important to you? Is there some freedom here that you didn't feel before?
Today you'll do a Restorative sequence designed by Scott Blossom. Spend at least 3 to 5 minutes and up to 10 minutes in each pose. (You'll want to block out at least an hour or more for this practice.) Move slowly and deliberately throughout, allowing your body to fully drink in the benefits of the poses.
You may be ready to end the program tomorrow morning, or you may want to continue. You can safely do this for another two weeks to a month. Your body will tell you when it's time to stop.
When you do end the program, do so slowly. Instead of immediately going back to your previous habits and diet, first ask yourself what you really need.
This program was about getting quiet and slowing down, fortifying your system, letting go of habits that no longer serve you, and tuning in more deeply to your body's wisdom. Now, take this insight into your everyday life.
