A CLEANSING RETREAT IN HAWAII …

All about Angel Farms – 10 day full intestinal cleanse- body, mind & spirit!

The Rolls Royce of cleanses…a full cleansing & de-tox program based on ancient medical wisdom & modern medical knowledge –using the best of high tech equipment in a location designed just for this purpose…

The client – that’s me – comes to it just as I am…

Full of anticipation, excitement & full of shit!

Laurel & I landed on the Big Island of Hawaii October 22nd. We had a great drive around to the Hilo side, and found our little vacation home in the dark.

It sounded like we are near the ocean, and boy – by the sounds of the frogs, we are near the jungle too!

The next morning – we arrived at Angel Farms – set in an old Hawaiian style plantation home…a beautiful Big Island day –very warm & moist as the sky rained intermittently and huge fluffy clouds moved through the sky when it was not actually raining. Avocado trees grow right next to the lanai, and big yellow guavas are dropping fruit all along the road & drive. Paradise!

I first met Cindy Sellers about 9 years ago when I did the cleanse in California, and was so happy to see that she has not lost any sparkle – in fact – has gained in wisdom & love Laurel loved Cindy immediately – she is so filled with confidence, information, and most of all – love!

We began an orientation & discovered our responsibilities include drinking a full gallon of water each day (We are 80% water, the brain is 96% water!…and the kidneys need help flushing out old stuff & toxins so the fresh water can take its place. In the morning, it is suggested that we drink a cup of pure water first thing – it feeds the brain. Soft foods, nothing that requires chewing are going to be our diet for the next 10 days – rice, soup, fruit, – and no coffee, tea, meat, dairy, soy, peanuts & processed foods that disturb the intestines or causes more work for them. We are rerouting energy from digestion to regeneration. The idea is to give the intestines a “rest”! And – yes, I want a full rest too…in all ways – mind, body & spirit.

The miracle of the colon is that it regenerates in 72 hours. During the Cleanse, each day we take in 20 gallons of energized water. It flows gently through, cleansing out the inner lining, old pockets of leftover food matter, parasites & other stuff we would just as soon not have in there. The colon has not nerve endings so we can have large impactions or ballooning & not feel it even as it takes space from organs in the area. As the impactions & pockets are cleaned out, the area needs 72 hours to heal and become elastic & normal, so the soft foods we eat allow everything to rest & no pieces of unchewed food will catch in the area. (If you have to chew it – don’t eat it)

Chew your food really well – every meal, every day…that is Cindy’s mantra. I am reminded of a childhood song – I think it is an old Camp Torenta song –

“Chew, chew, chew your food – gently through the meal, the more you chew, the less you eat, the better you will feel!”

Here is Cindy’s official description of the program…

Angel Farms offers a 10-day Cleanse of the Body, Mind and Spirit. You will journey deep into yourself to Cleanse and remember your truth. You will discover the Powerful, Creative Being that you are, raising your vibration to a Clarity of Purpose and Peace in your Body, Mind, and Spirit. Our program helps people out of pain when they are ready to release it. Haven’t you hurt enough?  With 20 years experience and over 4000 Graduated Angels from all over the world, we can help you find peace and happiness again.

Angel Farms Ministry is “A place where Angels come home to remember who they are.” Our graduated “Angels” have journeyed deep into themselves to Cleanse and remember what their purpose and truth is. They discover the Powerful, Creative Beings that they are, raising their vibration to a Clarity of Purpose and Peace in their Body, Mind, and Spirit. Our program helps people out of pain when they are ready to release it.

Our entire family takes part in this program. Larry, my Beloved husband of 28 years, is a certified Reiki Master, Ortho-bionomist, Angel Touch Therapist, and a Crystal and Sound Healer and is the Chef who prepares incredible soft foods and adds the Divine Alchemy of Love in all his preparations.

The first program that I wish to describe is the 10-day cleanse, in which 12 people participate. It is a journey, a shift, a re-birth into transformation. It is a natural, age-old process, incorporating pure water and various herbs. We use natural gravity flow and FDA registered units, to gently flush and eliminate toxins that have been held in the body for many years. By removing the toxic material, the body is then able to absorb nutrition, and heal itself miraculously. The clients have an excellent opportunity to see what has been released from their bodies. Not through some goofy glass tube either! How are you supposed to see what that really is?  During the process we use Hot Stone Therapy, Aromatherapy, Ozone Therapy, and Nutritional Counseling. On approximately the 7th day the “Angels” do a liver cleanse in which they access their stored anger and release it. Thousands of stones are released from the body the next day and the new blood flow is awesome. We have witnessed many miracles on the 8th day. The program also has an Orientation Meeting before each Cleanse to inform “Angels” of the day-to-day mechanics of The Cleanse. The Cleanse is followed by a Graduation Ceremony in which we film the miracles and they celebrate their new, awesome, selves.  We have thousands of miracles filmed.

Transitional therapy works hand in hand with the 10-day Cleanse. Cindy will take you back to before you were 8 years old, using relaxation techniques. This helps clear emotional issues that challenge your life now. This process is one of self-realization and empowerment, helping “Angels” knows that their choices and challenges are not to be judged, but honored.

Part of the program includes specific nutritional soft foods each day.

We follow “food signatures”

such as: pecans and walnuts look like a brain; therefore, they feed and nourish the brain. We include these ingredients on the fifth, sixth, and seventh day, which is when we are cleansing the transverse colon that feeds the brain. Other examples include: carrot/eyes, onions and garlic/lungs, celery/bones, etc. The nutritional program speeds up the rejuvenation process because this food is easily absorbed.  We witness people get younger every day.  Wrinkles disappear, eyes get clearer and whites get whiter. Even hair changes from gray to full color in 10 days!

*NOTES:

“OWN YOUR JOURNEY” (Belief in hereditary disease? Powerless to change? Then it is not true)

“HONOR THE BODY IN ITS INFINITE WISDOM & INTELLIGENCE”

Relaxation does not mean resignation.

WATER/CONSCIOUSNESS/DIET

“Water is a master healer & teacher –a small spring with a little faith can move a mounain.”

*FLORA-

Never eat yogurt during an antibiotic as it reduces effect of the medication

*CAFFEINE WISDOM:

COFFEE – CAFFEINE & TANNIC ACID (used to tan leather )

~ on an empty stomach, hardens the lining so it cannot break down proteins, also kills bowel flora

~Always eat protein before using coffee or tea & use a bowel flora at night to regenerate the flora.

~Quit caffeine by putting a few instant coffee granules under your tongue – stops headache

*Rt Hip is where the god food comes into the colon, so parasites hang out there & get fed (last day of cleanse)  Most hip replacements are the right hip….why?  Because of this problem?

CLEANSE RULES:

NO TEENY SEEDS OR FRUIT PEELS, NO BIG PIECES AT ALL

*DRINK ONE GALLON OF WATER A DAY!!!

-NOT Distilled water – which is only to be used for treating specific joint mineral reduction (2-3 weeks max) – never as a lifestyle, body will leach minerals to bring it into line with electrolyte needs

-The brain senses plain water as water, adding lemon or tea =”food”

Implant of herbs & food is done at end of the 20 gallons of purified water colonic (leave in ½ hour or longer)

~~~

Stress response: unpredictability, lack of control, lack of outlet for feelings or frustration

The lymphatic system moves over 45 pints of water a day. It centers on the navel. We are reviving that system also. We are invited to use the trampolines for 5 min a day – to move our lymph even better.

~~~

Each area of the colon gives nutrient into the blood stream of a specific body area & its organs, thus each day of the Cleanse, a different area of the body is going to be affected by the cleansing of that colon area mucosa lining. The doctrine of food signatures further suggests the foods that are best for “refeeding” that area once it is cleared.

MY Daily Journal NOTES….

DAY 1 - Thursday -Left Kidney – Judgment of others, criticism – Food Signatures:

Kidney Beans, Potatoes, Kiwi, Bananas, Celery

I was awakened by the sounds of the night jungle change – frog song fading away – giving away to the dawn song of birds & the sounds of the surf. The endless rolling surf crashes on the rocks beyond our lanai in translucent turquoise waves, and I am unbelievably going to be living here in this coastal house for a while!

We arrive at the center as a warm & sultry day begins – a low silver sky hangs over the dewy green trees. The place is warmly welcoming – lavender & green painted walls overlook the outdoor dining room & kitchen. How nice to live this way! I spend too much time indoors at home…

Drinking a gallon of water today is very hard, I am a bloating balloon, full & bulky, realizing I can’t afford to drink tea or juice since I want to save room for all this water!

Laurel is unsure of her feelings – the water is too much, the ramping during treatment seems difficult, so I reassure her that it will get easier to do, probably even tomorrow!

The blended kidney bean soup after my Cleanse is so nice & savory, nourishing, flavorful. We would have appreciated rice also.

The day passes with a great tour of the rocky & picturesque south coast – driving to the lava flow, (pictures of lava flowing on the road!) tasting honey of local lava blossoms – tastes like it has butter added!

~

DAY 2 – Friday – Spleen & Pancreas, Left Lung, Left Breast – issues: Joy, Love & Immune system communication, , Mother Issues

Spleen = Love; spleen relates to pineal, which controls white blood cells

– increased WBC = Attack on body itself (autoimmune; Neg=Worry)

Pancreas = Joy (shaped like a smile)

- Diabetes = lack of joy = sweet tastes desired for replacement

Food Signatures: potatoes, carrots, egg, squash, onion, garlic, ginger (Soup: veggie Thai Coconut)

~Doing the Angel Farms Cleanse in Hawaii offers a great choice of foods that we cant imagine having in Calif. Papayas are a particular favorite of mine & I look forward to having one every day. Laurel is missing her boys a lot today! They are missing her too; Adrien doesn’t want her to go & end the skype video they connect with. Colt is realizing how important she is to the ease of work & flow of family life in their household. We all need more appreciation for each other.

DAY 3 – Saturday –Heart – Issues of Grief & Sadness– Food Signature: Tomatoes

I woke up at 6am feeling great! Drank warm water wih lemon & honey, ate some papaya, discovered that taking the bentonite & psyllium solution in pineapple juice is the way to go. lie in the dreamy state of relaxation between slight cramping points as water passes gently in, and “blooping” of – who knows what – passes out! A few parasites are now gone, and some really old stuff! I feel lighter & stronger after the treatment – ready for action, the joint & body stiffness that has been plaguing me for quite awhile is going away! Lunch is a creamy tomato soup – one of the best tomato soups I have ever had… that is saying something – since I don’t like it usually…

Some thoughts – allow love to surround you, imbalance comes from a “lack” & leads to disease. The heart is not a “pump”.

THE HILO FARMER’S MARKET

Coconuts, Coconuts, Coconuts, Coconuts!! Everything that milk can do – so can coconut, and maybe better…our visit to the Hilo market today resulted as many & numerous yummy treats as we can justify as “cleansing” & also allowed on our soft food diet. Such delectable things as coconut tapioca pudding…and…

I Must mention the incredible local treat called “Hapea” – it is a stiff coconut pudding – very rich & addictive, laurel & I started buying it in “bulk” – several at once, and a comment – “I hope you are getting your own” was heard even as a pile of 3 containers was carried possessively around the market…

We also discovered wonderful sticky rice, steamed in banana leaf with no sugar – that was soft, sweet & felt good to eat. Better yet – Young coconuts taken right from the tree & carved by a good looking local dude…the young man used a machete for opening shells & was great to watch, and the yield was thirst quenching & tasty! I bought a few extra for later, since Saturday market in Hilo will not come around for a week

DAY 4 – Sunday – Lungs – Food Signatures: Onions, garlic, leeks, breadfruit(ulu)

It is raining, raining today – tonight we watch the food channel, and for the rest of our time here- we watch a food show every night – amazing visuals of imaginative & sculptural cake designs, large red frosted cupcakes, beautifully plated and unusual dishes being judged & discussed on “Iron Chef”, as well as the image of a man stuffing the hottest imaginable red pepper seasoned chicken into his mouth – a perfectly wonderful & fulfilling virtual experience for girls who aren’t eating very much right now. Interesting that the idea of local foods or organic foods or sustainable diet choices has not yet hit the food channel…

DAY 5 – Monday – Brain (The Senses) – Food Signatures: Walnuts, Cabbage, Cauliflower

Cindy says I am clear enough for a Liver cleanse, so I ate no fat at all since 10 pm last night. Today I stop eating at 2 pm. The details of this liver cleanse is from ancient text & modern knowledge – a wonderful synthesis of common sense medicine. I fall asleep at 10pm, with the feeling that my liver has filled & expanded almost like a sponge…and the sensation is very strange, but not uncomfortable…

DAY 6 – Tuesday – Stomach – Fear Center – Food Signatures: Yams, Squash

My liver cleanse release – I pass a few stones before we leave the house, but not many are in the tank after my session either – so it is best that I try again this week. This day is the day for Laurel’s Liver Cleanse Lesson – it’s all about the liver – 535 functions of the liver, why the cleanse technique works, the importance of it to our health & longevity, and how to best manage the schedule of food choices & timing of certain salts & oils that are used for this special cleanse routine.

One thing I did notice today, and will note again & again this week – is a strong taste of metal in my mouth for brief periods of time during the cleanse sessions. I have finally attributed it to the literal passing of metal molecules through the brain related area of my colon at that moment.

Laurel & I treat ourselves to pedicures as we each also get an intuitive & experienced massage from Elisha, in Hilo. She is intuitive & works special magic on my bad knee & the right hip congestion. I actually feel some heavy mass move out from the lower right colon as she massages the area upwards.

DAY 7 – Wednesday – Liver – Anger center – Food Signatures: Potatoes, Jicama

We chug our water & eat a double lunch before 2pm, when all intake ceases.

In the afternoon, I make a presentation on localization & sustainability for the Big Island, and promote discussion among the various groups working on aspects of this issue. There is a lively interchange, and the future of food here is very sustainable, as long as people are willing to eat taro 7 fish, fruits & wild pig. Just like before the modern influx of off-islanders…

DAY 8 – Lungs are being cleansed today…a chance to discover your life purpose.

Food Signatures: onions, leeks, garlic, breadfruit & broccoli.

It is also Liver releasing day for both of us. Both of our tanks are covered with floating little “stones” so we have passed this session!

A SPIRITUAL CLEANSING

After my Cleanse session I visit the small warm pool at Pohiki bay. How wonderful that no one else is there – it looks very clear & clean, the feeling of a sacred healing place, surrounded by jungle plants, coconut palms, surf sounds to the south, peace all around. Minutes pass as I float with my body suspended – buoyant on the surface of the warm salty water – a perfect way to rebirth my new body that is being cleared & cleaned outside & inside. Prayers & blessings pour from within – my soul is renewed, I have not felt this connected to nature & spirit for a while. I speak & sing my praises for this world, praying for health, wisdom, purpose, my many blessings of life!

Evening brings us back home to a small bowl of warm Homemade applesauce – so comforting after my food limitations, reminds me of my childhood, and happy days in Michigan.

Day 9 –Friday– Genitals & Kidneys – Food Signatures: Papaya, pears, eggs, kiwi, bananas

After the cleansing treatment, a very intuitive & relaxing healing session with Larry & a lovely soup for lunch, Laurel & I drive out to Papaya Farms Road – to find the raw food store at Pangaia Farm, ask around about raw local cacao growers, and buy some ripe papayas. It is an inspiring way to live – mostly outdoors, following natural rhythms of the day, rather than by a clock – lists of scheduled jobs or routine.

The drive is very beautiful, through lava flows, papaya fields, and tall bamboo, a jungle of “house plants” curves over the narrow road.

I am having food urges, can’t seem to get satisfied, keep opening the fridge & eating tapioca one spoonful at a time. New spoon in the sink, a few minutes later, I do the same thing again – fresh spoon, one bite, slowly taste & swallow.! Why? Not being sure, I distract myself with a book. My food addictions are real – and yet – a mystery sometimes. I want to be relieved of them. What if I ate for nutrition instead of out of boredom or nerves? Nerves? Gosh, I feel as rested & relaxed as I have ever been in my life, and yet – I eat again. Eating for pleasure, now – that is worth eating for…

Later -

The Full Moon shines into my room, the singing frogs play to my window. At midnight – I am drawn outside into the warm night for ceremony on the lanai. I sing to the Moon Mother, light of the night. She who reminds us of our own waxing & waning cycles. I am filled with love for everything.

DAY 10 – Saturday – Kidney – Judgment & Criticism & Hip – Fear of Major change

Food Signatures: Artichokes, kidney beans

I felt very light today as my feet hit the floor at 6am, very fully rested, and a breakfast of ½ papaya was quite enough to please me.

Another thing to note – drinking the gallon of water is now easy & natural, and in fact – by noon today I am ½ way there! The colonic was surprising; I released a 2 ft worm! He has been hiding in a pocket in my right hip area – which is still not quite pain free, even after letting go of that guy, his house, his friends, and a number of other older parasites. Not to mention the weirdly shaped dark and hardened matter that also came out the day after my massage with Elisha.

Cindy wants me back tomorrow to see if we can clear the area. I feel like I still have a tight area there…wanting it to be gone, will send energy there tonight & do some massage.

Laurel is also going for an extra day, so tomorrow am we lie on the boards instead of swimming with dolphins – it is ok, so worth the time, as it is why we came!

Graduation ceremony at 1pm is filled with love & instruction – wisdom from the masters, reminders of our future work with masterful chewing, good food choices, 2x/month tune-ups with liver cleanses for another 6 months from now. Time to be serious about keeping clear – in body & mind. Kaliko & his friend Azhtsu play music for us – guitar & flute – lovely Hawaiian style tunes with original lyric in Hawaiian, about modern life, love of Hilo, the island, and uplifted human condition. Very nice! Time passes with elasticity as we each relax into a sense of Being. Maybe everyone on Hawaii feels this way – relaxed & available to whatever the time offers, but for me – it is a wonderful sense of relief that I am not worried & thinking about the time – my desire to do this or that next thing rather than being fully present. The miracle is – that we are exactly on time to get a swim in the ocean, warm pool, & arrive back to Pahoa with plenty of time to see the owner of Puna Styles store. Dinner is going to be Thai food, and although most of the curried veggies are undercooked for our custom palate, the eggplant & potatoes are soft & just right!

AN EMOTIONAL CLEANSING

Midnight of Samhain, my ancestor calling is the deepest ritual I have ever experienced with my beloved dead. No altars to them, no photos, no ceremonial trappings of any kind – as I lie in my cozy nest between jungle & surf sounds – full moon shining in the window – I silently review my biological historical family, thanking each of them & asking forgiveness for my own part in any errors of lack – wanting only love & joyful relationship…esp. this is big with dad & Maxine, with both of whom I had a very real, long term & emotional relationship.  Now – tears are the way to cleanse the soul. My recent ancestors – First the Bogners, the Kalbfleisch clan, and then the Waters & Jones…so much to give thanks for! So many gifts – some of them real solid gifts of material things – Aunt Oral’s set of irreplaceable Franciscan Apple dishes, Grandpa Jone’s hand crafted solid Michigan Oak dining room table that so many happy family meals were eaten upon…and even better – the knowledge passed to me by so many loving mentors. Happy memories with distant yet sharp images… Riding shotgun with Uncle Larry in his convertible car, Elvis playing on the radio – arriving at the Cadillac drive-in for a special treat – a mug of root beer (this must have been about 1955 – was I really about 5-6 years old??) He seemed to know everyone, & a lot of beautiful young women were admiring him & looking at me too…so cool!  More memories than I can begin to recount, life is filled with joyous moments, never forgotten.

There is more – deep & revealing to me in my open state. At midnight, my personal full moon ritual on the lanai takes it all home – into my being – as the Goddess above & the Goddess within become one…

DAY 11 – An extra day for the Hip area, we both need it!!! I am finally clearing that pocket on the right side…which for the last year has been feeling like a heavy area of inflammation – sometimes even hurting like an appendicitis or ileal-secal valve malfunction after eating… almost every time when I have enjoyed heavy desserts.

Cindy talks about the probability that cleansing treatments like this can save you from a hip replacement. The right hip is the most common side for an operation – could it be from congested colons that could be cleaned out rather than having a huge operation?

We are now done, ready to go home and be attentive to the rules of our continuing process. For another 3 days soft food will help the healing of this last difficult area, and a liver cleanse in 2 weeks will seal the deal. Daily parasite cleanse will keep the bad guys away. Wow, we are awesome! I feel such love for my beautiful & glowing daughter – she is happier than I have seen her in ages, full of life, standing tall & proud, we are both this way, I guess I might be looking in a mirror…

WITH ALOHA,

Annie Waters

PS This post is as much about sustainable living as any that discuss solar installations or permaculture.  Health that can be maintained by the use of pure water flow is so very local & available to anyone!
