The final days
Well the final days of my cleanse are here... I leave tomorrow. I am so happy about that but sad in a way. I'm happy because I've been away FAR too long and miss my friends and family, but sad because this journey has been powerful and I've been able to escape into a world where no one knew me and my issues, no one wanted to give advise about anything but a healthy lifestyle and no one gossiped... There was no expectation except for the expectation i had for myself.
I hit the mat almost daily and I've laughed and cried during many yoga poses. I've discovered I have an internal focus like nothing before and I know my strengths and discovered my weaknesses are also my strengths I just have to look at it in a different perspective.
My book is close to being done, but I have another book looming and is ready to be prepared...
I've meditated and channelled incredible messages that will be shared with the world eventually which were enlightening and mind blowing. And I know my pathway, which is clearer than ever before.
I formed some strong friendships with complete strangers from all over the world who had an impact in my life. I'm so blessed to call them friends. We giggled until I almost pee'd my pants, we discussed things that only you should discuss with your colon doctor (tmi), and dreamt about food constantly. We supported each other when we needed it, we walked in silence with each other when we needed the space but felt safe knowing someone was there, we meditated together and fell out of our yoga poses together. These are memories that will stay ingrained in my mind forever.
Like I said its been a powerful journey of self discovery and I have discovered I'm juicy to Mosquitos!! 46 bites and counting!
We've had no power on the island for the last few days it comes on twice a day for 2 hours and then goes off. It's hit and miss about when it's going to come on, so technology has died... No Internet and its amazing how you rely on it. The night has been spent reading by candlelight, and just being present. I can't text in case my battery dies, I haven't been on Facebook and I'm only writing my blog because I can email it in via the 3G signal.
Having these last few days in the darkness has helped me see the light. You look at yourself in a way that you never saw yourself before.
So it's my last day! And I get to eat tonight... Juice for breakfast and lunch and then real food! One of my friends has waited to break her detox with me... She's been here 31 days and looks AMAZING. So we are eating together tonight, and I was supposed to leave at 8am tomorrow but I got a later flight so I could have lunch at one of the worlds top raw food restaurants. Plus it shortens my stay in Singapore airport from 12 hours to 6!
But I'm grateful to my friends and family back home who encouraged and embraced my journey with me. You took a backseat when I asked them too, who stepped forward when I needed them especially over liver flushes when I was being a baby! My parents have been with Charlie and I couldn't have done it with out them. Charlie has been amazing asking me how I've been and has been sending me photos through so I can see what I'm missing. I'm grateful to my staff in the office who have had to hold the fort, deal with the drama and keep everything running smoothly like clockwork!
And finally thank you to New Leaf Detox and the staff, who have kept our spirits up, laughed with us, held our hands, rubbed our back, bought us our coffee (don't ask!) made our delicious juices and soups, taught us the Thai culture and language, gave us our space, bought us our candles in the dark, talked us through our cleanse, gave us inspirational talks and even did our laundry!
So today is the day... Food! I know exactly what I'm going to have and I can't wait!
So like I said its been a journey that I have embraced and last time I was here Thailand had the same impact on me... And I'm walking away feeling the same as I did last time... At peace! Pieces of the jigsaw have slotted together and I know 2013 is going to be amazing!
So when you feel lost, or just need to find your journey, taking time out for you is important. Learn to meditate. Push through your mind running a million miles an hour, just relax and surrender and let go of any out come. If it doesn't come easy then it's not meant to be, allow your perspective to change, allow yourself to have peace of mind. It's only us that stops it. Let go of blame because you're equally as responsible. Just allow yourself to be. Have no expectations except for those that you have on yourself. And remember you are not responsible for someone else's feelings, only yours. As long as you are authentic and truthful then you are being you! Wow what a journey and it's not over yet!
One night in Sydney on Saturday then it's home!
Hugs and love

Amber Davis - Journey Of Love
The walls in our path
seemed impossible then
waiting for change
not knowing where to begin
In search of a clue
to keep us on track
but the end of every road
We'd always find our way back
But no matter what
We'd always stayed together
No matter whahahat
We'd always love eachother
No matter what
We knew from the beginning
This love was never ending
it all was just our story of us
Chorus
For better or worse
through thick and through thin
This our journey of love
2x
looking back I see
just how far we've come
Choosing to believe
Only made us strong
On this journey towards our dreams
I'll gladly stand
by your side til the very end
But no matter what
We'd always stayed together
No matter whahahat
We'd always love eachother
No matter what
We knew from the beginning
This love was never ending
and this was just our story of us
Repeat chorus
Bridge
Through all the obstacles
That stand before us
I'll be there for you
You don't ever have to be alone
Cause I'll be everything you need
Repeat chorus

A Huge hug and Congrats Lisa!!!! I know how hard this is to do and I have a feeling I know how amazing you are feeling right now!!!! Stand tall and be proud of your accomplishments that were hard earned. The key now is to hold onto this gift of peace and somehow learn to integrate this into your daily life. I bet you will feel strange at first... it will seem like everyone is talking fast and life is moving so quickly around you at first. You may even feel overwhelmed at first as you step back into what we think is normal every day life when in reality the sense that you are feeling now is what was meant for us... Total Peace and Bliss!!! It is unfortunate how this world turned so cruel and lacks love and peace, but the good thing is when you find that inner peace, no one can take it from you unless you let them. So remember this sense of peace and be sure to have moments of it every single day of your life no matter what is happening externally... There is nothing wrong with loving others and being compassionate, but remember to detach yourself from their outcome and drama. Some people live for drama as that is all they have in their pathetic lives... sad to say but true. I also stay clear of those who sap my energy... I call them the vampire energy suckers... You will notice there are some people that will literally drain you of your energy just being in their presence... stay clear of them!!! They are not from light and have a purpose in draining others. Surround yourself with only those who will cheer you on and not push you down. I told a really dear friend of mine recently that I am truly content with just a small inner circle of friends that I know have my back and I can be myself. They know the good in me and they also know what I call the need improvement part of me... (a lifetime under construction) LOL. Yes, I know many people, but there are only a few that will be part of my inner world. There is a reason for this and in eternity all truth will be revealed for all of us.
Sending love and hugs always,
DS
P.S. Please hear these words as they were given to me in the form of guidance to you!
Hi LIsa, What an amazing journey you have taken yourself on these past few weeks.
Enjoy your first meal.
How your life has changed since you first started
doing readings with a big audience then teaching others.
Thank You for sharing your Blogs with us. Safe trip back to
your Mum/Dad and Charlie. Merry Christmas and much love, Therese.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences! How great to have support in family and friends, good luck on your journey! I imagine the "first meal" felt great:) I can't wait to see you in Norway March 15th!! I am so happy I discovered by chance that you were coming to Os :) All the best wishes for christmas and the days to come!
So glad to see you back to regular blogging, Lisa
I missed the flow of your wisdom.
Very inspired to hear how much you are looking forward to 2013.
And, of course, huge congrats at your achievement!
Love and Light
Lana

Lisa,
I find it amazing that the more I read about you and your journey of self-discovery, the more incredible I realize you are. No one wants to feel pain or discomfort of any kind, but pain seems to be the only thing that truly motivates us to make change. "Ruin is a gift, it's the road to transformation" is my favorite saying. I love the movie Eat.Pray, Love. Who wouldn't love to roam the world, visiting exotic places, and eating fabulous food, and all in the name of finding one's self..lol
I think you have truly looked inside yourself and wanted to understand, wanted to break old patterns, wanted to be authentic, and wanted to feel love without the hurting.I commend you for facing your fears and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. I wish you contiued success in all that you choose to do. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season. Best wishes for an abundant year of peace, love, and joy minus the garlic soup..:-) xox Mary
YOU ARE INSPIRING LISA!
My hubby informed me that you will be coming to CT and I quickly found my spot in your audience on Feb. 10th .
So excited to see you! I will try my best to get my hubby to join me but he is stubborn....says i should leave the seat next to me vacant for possible 'visitors.'....funny guy,huh? :) just may be on my own that evening...thats ok, I am still looking forward to it! Until then, G.S.
Hi Lisa,
I was just answering your questionnaire, I guess I still need to find my way a bit around here, ... I am still in between mindsets, ... BUT, I received your cristal today, I logged on to your site and was reading your blog whilst holding it in the palm of my left hand, and it was as if it moved and made my hand contract, a little ray of hope that caressed my soul, ... hope to start and grow throughout 2013 differently
Hi lisa, Just watched a programme unbelievable. I am sorry that i missed you while you were in NZ. I am hoping to catch to come to your next one when you come back to NZ.
