1.1 How to use this course

The lay of the land

In any journey it’s always handy to have an idea of the path ahead and some kind of map. Your Sparkle Well Complete Cleanse Program provides field markers to help you chart your course.

This course is YOURS, to adopt as you need it, and will unfold uniquely for your life.

How long does this Cleanse take?

You can progress through Sparkle Well Complete Cleanse as quickly or as slowly as you like.

We recommend between 4 - 8 weeks as a good time frame to really incorporate the practices and reap the benefits.

The road of Sparkle Well may be paved with many things, including bursts of awe, moments of contented love and enthusiastic empowerment to overcome all challenges. There may be frustrated tears, falling off the path, and as with all change, you may need to let some things go.

You are invited to share your journey. We can witness this for you, help out where we can, plus your journey will help pave the way for the next people who come along.

Sparkle Complete Cleanse Program Overview

Phase 1: Preparing to Rejuvenate

Phase one encourages you to gain insight into your individual 'toxic body burden'. You’ll clarify why you’re doing this course - what you want to achieve, who you are becoming, what values you hold and live with, and how you make life more wonderful. You’ll understand about how your cells and blood revitalise. Plus, you’ll begin your quest towards optimal hydration.

Phase 2: Creating the Conditions

Phase two involves you rejuvenating your kitchen activities. You’ll increase the amount of living and mineral rich foods in your diet, thus enhancing enzymatic capacity and begin to buffer internal acidity. You’ll improve your digestive process and freshen your focus on what nourishes you.

Phase 3: Reducing toxins and supporting detoxification

In phase three you will look at what you’re addicted to, and what no longer serves you. You will decide what you want to keep and what you want to let go of, and develop strategies to release these things from your life. You simply switch to more nourishing foods and true personal care products. You’ll come to understand your key organs of detoxification, and provide them with additional support.

Phase 4: Open and Release

In phase four your focus is on opening your channels of elimination. You will undertake a period of 'fasting' suited to your life at this moment, and be supported through any detox problems that may pop up. You’ll look at your exercise regimen and adjust it to enhance your lifestyle and level of vitality. Also you’ll be practicing relaxation and doing less for a while; taking some time out to cleanse and refresh your mental and emotional patterns. This is the most intense phase of your cleansing process, so good to plan some time out for this. Two to five days is recommended, however you can adapt to your life conditions.

Phase 5: Your New Normal

Phase five is about you implementing your ‘new normal’: Setting yourself up to thrive and be vital in the world. Because you realise the future is now, you select things and create your life to reinforce this best version of yourself. You’ll understand how to minimise the harm caused by everyday ‘normal’ living. You’ll naturally start to see and act in ways that contribute to a more vital world.

What to do now?

#detoxtaskmaster: Schedule it in

There’s rarely a perfect time for a detox. There's often a raft of great excuses.

Inevitably there will be a birthday party, special occasion or unavoidable social-something that will plunge you into the world of alcohol, sugar, processed foods, late nights and ‘temptations’. Or there will be that urgent work deadline that requires an additional 10 hours of your week, or a child who needs your help. Or someone demands your energy. Or something else.

In reality, NOW is the best time to vitalise and cleanse, regardless of your calendar!

Pull out your diary for the next month, and notice the social events. Identify a few consecutive days when you can undertake some kind of fast and live in a more restful and quite way. This can be a 24-hour to 5 day period anytime after (at least) 10 days of preparing and 'Creating the conditions' for safe cleansing.

Prepare for parties, weddings, anything..

What if there are lots of parties going on, and it's just too hard to detox?

Well, if it simply isn’t possible to take any time out, you can incorporate more subtle cleansing practices into your busy schedule. If there are obligatory events, you can adopt some of the contingency strategies and still live in the world in a healthy way.
