Over the last decade I have learned that there are numerous pathways to the “spiritual” realm. The pathway that I personally took was through d!et and detox (colon cleansing). Not only does this particular pathway ”magically” heal the human body, but it also has the potential to help awaken a person. This is why many “enlightened” masters recommend a raw food d!et and cleansing the colon with water.

Before I jumped into this lifestyle, the “spiritual” realm was nonexistent to me. When I leaped into choosing a 100% Raw Food D!et and cleansing my colon on a periodic basis (3 – 5 times a month), I had no g0al to be awakened to the spiritual realm. It just happened automatically and I felt so blessed and took it from there.

After enjoying a 100% Raw Food D!et for a year straight and cleansing my colon on a periodic basis, I did Bernard Jensen’s intense 7-day psyllium and bentonite cleanse, where you take his psyllium and bentonite drink five times a day and you do an extremely thorough colon cleanse with water two times a day to keep the psyllium and bentonite moving through you. It was the day that I finished this cleanse that my ‘third eye’ opened completed. Over the last fourteen years, my third eye continues to vibrate stronger and stronger, as the days go by.

When this vibration started to occur, my desire then appeared to learn about the spiritual realm and not the other way around. It was at this point when I got heavily into focus, meditation, and prayer. I have seen and experienced things that might be unfathomable to the minds of most men. My understanding of the spirit realm continues to grow daily. Please understand that I am not claiming to be a “guru” of any sort here, or claiming to be “spiritually enlightened”. I am just stating that my understanding of the spiritual realm now, compared to before making these lifestyle changes is exponentially more expanded.

The reason I wanted to write to you about this today is to share with you about this possible pathway to the spiritual. It is my mission to help “awaken” as many people as possible and I feel that this is one of the most powerful ways to get there, amongst many others.

Many of you may feel really inspired to attempt a 100% Raw Food D!et now, in order to experience this kind of spiritual opening. However, I feel that the emphasis has to come not so much on the Raw Food D!et and actually rather on cleansing the colon with water, often. The reason why this pathway helps with spiritual attunement has nothing to do with nourishing the body, in my opinion, rather it’s all about getting the toxic crap out of your body. It is the cleanliness of the body that can open a person up to the “spiritual” world, not nutrients. So a 100% Raw Food D!et can easily help the body to get cleaner and my guess is that very small amounts of whole foods may work too.

The combination together of a cleaner d!et along with colon cleansing with water can be extremely powerful. The clean d!et eliminates the addition of toxins into your body and it also enables your body to detox the decades of junk that we have built up in our bodies on a cellular level.

Again, I feel that the main emphasis is best placed on cleansing the colon with water. If you just do a 100% Raw Food D!et alone, it can resul*t in you feeling more “toxic” as you deal with the withdrawals from all of the non-raw foods you’ve been eating for decades on end. Almost inevitably it seems, a person who does a raw food d!et without colon cleansing comes to the conclusion that this type of d!et is “no good” for the human body. However, when colon cleansing is practiced often, in combination with a 100% Raw Food D!et, the whole situation becomes much easier. It is the withdrawals from the toxic foods that bring cravings and emotional issues. Cleansing the colon often with water removes this junk from your system consistently and makes it feel much easier to eat a 100% Raw Food D!et.

To s@ve our customer service department from receiving hundreds of emails, I will now tell you all about the 7-day Bernard Jensen Cleanse that I mentioned above.

On our website, you can order the same Bernard Jensen Cleanse that I did with the accompanying book that tells you how to do it all. The book is many pages long, but all you need are the few pages in the middle that explain the 7-day cleanse part. The actual cleanse is 30 days, but if you are smart and eat a clean d!et like I did with periodic colon cleansing to prepare yourself for many months beforehand, the intense 7-day portion where you do the psyllium and bentonite five times a day will be sufficient.

At the link below, the top five items are all that you need to be concerned with. The top item is the Bernard Jensen book. The next two items are the actual cleanse that you can get. One is with and the other is without beet tablets. Either one will work. The cleanse has everything you need for the seven days, but if you are interested in extra psyllium and bentonite we sell the bottles separately there too.

All of these items can be purchased at the link below:

If the colon cleansing two times a day is not done during this cleanse, the effects won’t have nearly as big of an impact. Additionally, you run the risk of not getting all of the contents out of your intestines. I also feel it is ideal to practice periodic colon cleansing with water and a healthy d!et for many months before attempting this. This “extreme” cleanse will take your cellular cleanliness to a new level and toxic foods that you currently eat will become even more damaging to your cleaner body. I feel it is best to be adapted to a healthy d!et before taking your cleanliness to the next level like this. Additionally, the detoxification might just be too much for you to jump into this kind of cleanse overnight if you don’t do some preparation beforehand.

There are two reasons I endlessly promote colon cleansing with water. The first reason is that it heals the phys!cal human body more effectively than anything else available to man today. It’s so interesting, because certain issues that people have just go away when cleansing the colon. For example, I convinced a friend of mine to do enemas for 14 days straight and his old back pa!n !njury went right away after just a few days. There have been many reports of injuries like this clearing up as they are the resul*t of gas and toxicity, which tr@vel to the places of least resistance in the body. People’s joints feel better, persistent headaches go away and people miraculously see diseases reversed when doing colon cleansing in combination with a healthy d!et.

The second reason I promote colon cleansing immensely is because, as I said, I believe that it is a doorway to the “spiritual realm”. Please understand that by no means do I feel that this is the only pathway to awakening to the spiritual realm. I have friends who used awareness, prayer, meditation, yoga, body work and much more to get to the same place. It’s interesting because these friends of mine automatically found colon cleansing and a healthy d!et afterwards. Similarly, I found meditation, bodywork, yoga, etc, after I improved my d!et and practiced colon cleansing. Again, I wasn’t trying to find my way to a more spiritual way of life, I simply ate a 100% Raw Food D!et and practiced periodic colon cleansing, and the spiritual realm just introduced itself to me.

“Which blender is the best for green smoothies?” – is one of the most typical questions I receive. One may prepare green smoothies in any kind of blender. I constantly travel around the globe and in many countries high-speed blenders are not available for most people. In one of my newsletters I talked about the young man in Indonesia who prepared a green smoothie inside a coconut using a hand blender.

However, the average inexpensive blender will blend only until the blades are sharp. In about a month of daily use, its blades will become so dull that they won’t even blend a ripe banana. If you are using a regular blender, always cut your ingredients into small pieces. Start with the greens and water, then add fruits. That will give your drink a smoother consistency and will enable your blender to last longer.

For those who can afford a better blender, I recommend that you go for it and consider it your true health insurance. In the United States and Canada, one may buy a Vitamix Blender for around $369- $550, depending on the model. The smoothies made in the Vitamix have the consistency of silk and provide better nutrition by breaking down the cell walls. The Blendtec is another comparable high-speed blender for approximately the same price, although I personally prefer the Vitamix.

Unfortunately, in other parts of the world, the cost of the Vitamix more than doubles because of parts, customs, and shipping. For our Joy for Life retreat in Sweden last year I purchased a Vitamix Blender for over a thousand Euros because we needed to prepare 40 gallons of best-quality green smoothie per day. I couldn’t bring my blender from the U.S. because of the difference in electrical voltage.

Australians are fortunate to have a locally manufactured blender called Power Mill. (http://www.powermillblender.com) I bought two of them and used them at our retreats in Australia and Thailand. The quality of the green smoothie was comparable to the one made in Vitamix, and it cost around $600 Australian dollars. The only downside was that if the blender was placed on a wet surface it would occasionally give off an electric shock. So Valya refused to blend with it and was chopping while Sergei and I did all the blending, wearing rubber gloves. But the smoothies were superb.

In Germany and Sweden, I tried blenders that were more powerful than the average blender, but not as strong as the Vitamix.

During the last few years I have been travelling a lot, and of course I cannot bring the Vitamix with me everywhere because of its weight and voltage. After trial and error, I began travelling with a small, one-cup blender called Tribest. It has a regular small motor but the container is small enough that it does the job. The blades eventually become dull and I have to replace it after three months of daily use. This year I will be buying my third Tribest for my trip to Russia. I also have my own Tribest with 110 volts for travel by air in the United State, Canada and Mexico. I just placed a red label marking the voltage on each so I don’t burn them accidentally. If you are interested you may read more about this blender at http://www.tribestlife.com/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=3

People wonder why I prefer the Vitamix to other blenders. Sometimes they ask if I have a special deal or a contract with the Vitamix corporation. I, Victoria Boutenko, hereby declare that I have no special agreements with Vitamix and I am not even a Vitamix dealer. I do not sell Vitamix blenders. Like many people, I have an affiliate link with them, which gives the buyers free shipping and brings me a small percentage when people click on the link from my website to make their purchase. Here is that link: https://secure.vitamix.com/redirect.aspx?COUPON=06-003207

I respect the Vitamix corporation, not only for manufacturing a high-quality product, but also for their interest in people’s health. Last year when Valya and I were planning our trip to Africa, I wrote a letter to Vitamix, asking them to donate six Vitamix blenders to the orphanages in Kenya, and the Vitamix people thanked me for the opportunity to participate. The Kenyans were delighted to receive the blenders.

Which model of Vitamix is best? I always recommend getting a reconditioned unit if it is available. I have bought reconditioned blenders for some of my family members and they work just as well as if they were brand new. I bought my first Vitamix blender in 1994 in Denver, Colorado. I used it heavily both for my family and classes for 12 years, then in 2006 I reconditioned it and presented it to my niece and she is now making green smoothies with it for her little baby.
