LIFE MASTERY
Dear Friend,

Welcome to Life Mastery! Whether you’ve already achieved and maintained the highest levels of energy, or
you’ve hit a plateau or a valley in your personal health, you know there is always another level – an ultimate
state of energy, physical well-being, personal satisfaction, intense emotion, overwhelming joy and spiritual
fulfillment that you have yet to attain.

This program is the result of over 40 years of my own personal experience with health, combined with the
best of what is available today. Over the next few days, you will learn from world-class specialized experts,
doctors and scholars in the field of health, and have access to the most recent validated studies and research.

At the same time, the real transformation in this program will come from you.

Life Mastery is not a seminar, but an experience. It is essential that during this program you commit fully to
the process, to restore your body’s natural vitality and balance as you participate in a health retreat and detox
program designed by my top nutritionists.

To achieve the outcomes of this program, we will all live by the 3 Mandates to Lasting Health and Vitality:

1. Stop the poisoning


2. Cleanse and detoxify
3. Revitalize and regenerate

The MUST this week is to break our patterns and cleanse our systems to rid ourselves of the waste and toxicity
that has built up in our bodies. We will also rid ourselves of toxic thoughts and habits and learn how to create
empowering habits that become automatic patterns for a more vital and energized life.

When you apply these daily practices, it will create lasting change in your physical health and vitality,
your emotions, your relationships, and your life. And you will recapture the energy, mental clarity and
physical vitality that you probably have not experienced in some time.

Remember: Nothing tastes as good as absolute health and energy feels! Let’s begin by making a commitment
to hold ourselves to highest standard possible and take advantage of the enormous resources available
here for us.

Congratulations on making the commitment to take action and create the extraordinary health you deserve.
As always, live strong and live with passion!

Warmest regards,

Tony Robbins

LIFE MASTERY
THE PHILOSOPHY
Our physical health is primarily determined by our decisions, but our decisions are shaped
by our beliefs and philosophy of health. If we want to maximize our energy, our vitality, and
our health, we must start by examining our current beliefs.

How to produce what you really want:

ORGANIZING
ACTION RESULT
PRINCIPLES

Ultimately, the factors that influence your health and vitality most are your decisions.
Your decisions are shaped by your philosophy toward health (e.g., your organizing principles,
beliefs, rules). The challenge is that the organizing principles and beliefs that the most people
in our society hold to be true consistently produce ill health, low energy, and disease. Thus,
following these principles is a recipe for disaster.

Remember

There are two reasons to learn anything:

1. To avoid pain and/or


2. To gain pleasure
If you have a false organizing principle, it will cause you to take actions that consistently
produce a result other than the one you desire.

LIFE MASTERY
HEALTHY CELLS
The Key to a Healthy Body
The quality of your health is based on the quality of your cells! There are over 75 trillion cells in
your body (American Microbiome Institute, 2016). Cytology, the study of cells, reveals that the
seemingly infinite number of tiny powerhouses is what keeps us energized and alive. Cells are
the miniature factories that process the nourishment we need.
With proper amounts of oxygen, each cell not only performs its own specialized function, but also
produces adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to fuel the body. It only makes sense that maximizing
your overall health requires that your body receive the optimum nutrients for ensuring health on a
cellular level.
The quality of your life is the quality of the life of your cells. In order to both survive and prosper,
cells must have oxygen, water, nutrients (potassium, magnesium, calcium, and zinc among others),
and the ability to eliminate waste. Two-time Nobel Prize winner Dr. Alexis Carrel demonstrated
that cells could actually live indefinitely. He achieved startling results from an experiment in which
he was able to keep chicken cells alive in petri dishes, proving his theory that if they’re given their
basic needs and are not poisoned by their own environment, “cells will live forever.”

How Toxins Move Through the Body


Cells are also dramatically affected by the quality of your blood. Blood is the primary medium
that delivers oxygen and nutrients through the body and the vehicle through which toxins spread
throughout the body.
Alkalinity/acidity is measured on a scale of 1-14, with 1 being pure acid, 7 neutral, and 14 pure
alkaline. Your blood must maintain a slightly alkaline pH of 7.365 in order to keep cells healthy.
When there is a disturbance to this balance, red blood cells begin to clump and can no longer
travel through the capillaries and feed cells throughout the body. The accumulation of toxins
becomes the primary cause of illness.
Your body is designed to eliminate toxins from the bloodstream. That’s why Dr. Isaac Jennings,
noted as one of the first doctors to promote the concept of natural hygiene, said that the cause
of individual disease may be isolated to a given circumstance (i.e., bacteria), but the source of the
problem begins in those activities that drain our body of life force. He teaches that correct diet,
exercise, fresh air, cleansing bodily toxins, and the use of homeopathic or natural healing
agents will keep a person healthy well beyond the normal human life span.

When you live a lifestyle that is constantly demanding more energy than you
replenish over months, weeks, years, or even decades, you run the risk of having
your body become overloaded with toxins because . . .
One of the first responses the body makes to lowered nerve energy and decreased functional
efficiency is the elimination of toxins from the system.

4 Avenues for Eliminating Toxins

11 21

31 41

What causes poisons to build up in the bloodstream?


1. Taking in more than you can eliminate. This can occur as a result of being in a state of
diminished nerve energy from making constant demands on your body without allowing it
to fully recover.

2. Biochemical additives and/or waste and animal products—substances your body cannot use.

3. An overly acidic diet & lifestyle that allows the microorganisms (e.g., yeasts, molds, funguses)
within your bloodstream to proliferate—all of which produce their own waste (mycotoxins)—
adding to the toxicity of your system.

1 STOP THE POISONING
Eliminate the sources that cause disease

1. All disease starts on your plate.


Remember, it is your daily decisions that determine your physical destiny. Make the decision today
to stop the poisoning and begin to create an environment free from toxicity, where your mind and
body are functioning at peak efficiency.
There are a number of harmful substances readily available in today’s society. We expose
ourselves daily to myriad of hidden toxins. Some poisons are obvious, while others may surprise
you. The first step in creating a vibrant and healthy lifestyle is to stop the poisoning to eliminate
or reduce our exposure to these harmful agents. These are some of the most common agents
that harm our system:

• Formaldehyde
• Mercury
• Lead
• Asbestos
• Hazardous/toxic air pollutants
• Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)
• Pesticide chemicals, glyphosate
• Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs)

2. The Real Drug Problem
Today’s children and teens are constantly exposed to “Don’t Do Drugs” messages, yet our own days
are spent consuming painkillers, heartburn medicines, arthritis pills, and anti-depressants.
The common perception is that these drugs are harmless, but the reality is this: a 1999 study in the
Journal of the American Medical Association found that 100,000 people die each year, and 2.1
million are seriously injured from reactions to prescription drugs and over-the-counter medicines.
The 100,000 deaths make adverse drug reactions the sixth-leading cause of death in the United
States, behind heart disease, cancer, lung disease, strokes, and accidents.
A June 1999 study in the New England Journal of Medicine looked specifically at non-steroidal
anti-inflamatories (NSAIDS), the very common drugs sold as Advil, Nuprin, Motrin, and aspirin. An
estimated 103,000 Americans are hospitalized each year for “serious gastrointestinal complications”
from taking NSAID drugs.

3. Mercury
Many people choose to eat fish because of its apparent health benefits: omega-3 fatty acids and its low
saturated fat content. However, nearly all fish and shellfish now contain some traces of mercury, which
can affect brain and nervous system development. In America, one in six children born every year have
been exposed to mercury levels so high that they are potentially at risk for learning disabilities, motor
skill impairment, and short-term memory loss.
What can you do? The EPA recommends eating no more than two meals a week that include fish and
highly recommend avoiding shark, swordfish, king mackerel, or tilefish. Many groups are urging the
government to add tuna to that list as well. Below, you’ll find a list of fish that tend to have higher levels
of mercury than others.
Avoid these high-risk fish: Marlin, orange roughy, tilefish, swordfish, shark, mackerel (Spanish, king
and gulf), tuna (big eye, Ahi, canned, yellowfin, white albacore), sea bass, bluefish, and grouper.

4. Why Coffee Can Weaken or Destroy Your Body’s Forces
• It stimulates the central nervous system, heart, and respiratory system.
• Coffee drinking increases the secretion of acid in the stomach. It can cause stomach upset and
ulcers.
• Coffee drinking can inhibit absorption of some nutrients, particularly iron, and can cause such
nutrients as calcium, magnesium, and sodium to be flushed from the body.
• Possible links between caffeine and disease: bladder cancer in men, breast cancer in women,
and birth defects (when taken by pregnant women).
• Caffeine causes a large amount of sugar to be released into the bloodstream. The pancreas
reacts by releasing an excessive amount of insulin. The blood-sugar level then falls below the
normal level, producing some unpleasant symptoms.
• Caffeine can cause chromosomes in the cell nucleus to break apart. Sometimes the genes are
rearranged by the toxin.
• Coffee is pure acid. A healthy body maintains a blood pH at around 7.3. Coffee is 5.1 on the pH
scale. This much acid massively disturbs the central balance of your cells.

5. Refined Sugar
• Refined sugar comes from sugar cane or sugar beets and is then refined through a chemical
and filtration process, during which all of the natural vitamins and minerals are stripped out.
This sugar is added to food for a sweeter taste and is often disguised under multiple names
on nutrition labels, such as sucrose, glucose, and high-fructose corn syrup.
• Not only do refined sugars have no nutritional value, research shows that the overconsumption
of sugar can be linked to diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer, and liver disease. According
to Dean Ornish, M.D., added sugar is hidden in 74% of packaged foods.
• Naturally occurring sugars, such as those found in fruit, in limited quantities, are a part of a
healthy, balanced diet.

6. Commercial Beverages
Environmental toxins from commercial beverages are especially toxic due to traces of solvents left
over from the manufacturing process. There are solvents found in decaffeinated beverages, herbal
tea blends, carbonated drinks, beverages with NutraSweet, flavored coffee, diet and health mixes, and
fruit juices, even when the label states “not concentrate” or “100% pure.” Examples of these solvents
include acetone, hexanes, methyl chloride, pentane and isopropyl alcohol.

7. The Dangers of Dry Cleaning


Dry cleaning your clothes may be hazardous to your health. Since the 1950s, most dry cleaners have
relied on a chemical solvent called perchloroethylene, or “perc” to clean your clothes. This highly toxic
chemical has been shown to have harmful effects on the nervous system and all major organs.
Dry Cleaning Alternatives:
• Wet cleaning: Check in your area to find a dry cleaner that uses water-based cleaning instead
of perc-based cleaning, or encourage your local cleaner to start using this method.
• Hand wash: Many fabrics that say “dry clean only” do not require it. Manufacturers often put this on
the label to prevent liability. In many cases, you can safely hand wash “dry clean only” items.
• Allow your clothes to ventilate: If you must continue to dry clean your clothes, cut down on any
after-effects by hanging them outside or in a ventilated area for a while before wearing them.

2 CLEANSE & DETOXIFY
The 7 Principles of Detoxification

1. Cleanse and rebuild your liver and your colon . . . through a diet of fresh squeezed
alkalizing juices, live foods, liquid fasting when appropriate, the use of colonics, enemas,
and consistently monitoring your diet.
2. Super-hydrate . . . with four to five liters (4-1/2 quarts, 135 ounces, or 17 cups—
approximately 3 tall bottles) of alkalizing juices or structured water containing a
high content of chlorophyll. Drink half your body weight in ounces daily (i.e., if you
weigh 150 pounds, you should drink 75 ounces of water daily).
3. Develop a healthful nutrition plan . . . built upon natural health principles, basic
food combining, and consumption of fresh, live, whole, organic foods.
4. Regularly lymphasize . . . with a light ten-minute bounce on a small trampoline
(rebounder), lymphatic massage, dry-heat sauna, or dry skin brushing.
5. Perform low-impact exercise . . . to maintain balanced and efficient bodily systems
that will aid in the flushing of toxins.
6. Build a strong immune system . . . by developing a diet that gives you the required enzymes
(live foods, fresh fruit, vegetables, and their juices). This will help to break down ingested food
appropriately for health, strength, and vitality.
7. Ensure your body has the ability to rebuild itself . . . with a natural rest cycle that allows
your elimination channels to work optimally.

EXERCISE: HOW DOES YOUR BODY RESPOND?


Cause and source are not the same

________________ is the cure.


The source of my pain is rarely the cause.

How does your body respond when you put poison into your bloodstream?
What are the symptoms you experience from being poisoned?

Remember

How did you poison your bloodstream in the first place?


You ate food that was inundated with harmful microorganisms (e.g., E. coli—an extreme example
you probably heard about on television); you ate food that was already in the process of decay
(animal flesh); you didn’t combine your foods properly so they putrefied and fermented within your
system; you overate; you diminished your digestive capacity by eating while you were stressed;
you did not practice full, diaphragmic breathing—you created an anaerobic condition in your
system. All of these factors likely caused you to create an acidic environment—one in which
you literally rot from the inside out.

LIFE MASTERY
CLEANSE & DETOXIFY
Most of us never give a second thought to our health until there is a specific challenge. Or even if we do—we
eat healthfully, we exercise, and we support our structure—rarely do most of us take the time to really think
about and more importantly, take action on cleansing and detoxifying our system. Even if we take great care
of ourselves, over the years, our bodies build up a tremendous amount of toxicity—through the environment,
our eating habits, and through the emotions and stress we feel. Over time, we create a condition in our body
called autointoxication—where the body literally poisons itself from the inside out by maintaining an acidic
environment and by building up a cesspool of decaying matter in our eliminative organs.

The solution to ensure lasting vibrant health and energy is to take the time periodically to cleanse and
detoxify your body. Once you stop the poisoning, it’s not enough unless you also cleanse the poisons that
you have already ingested.

Remember

There are three ways to cleanse and detoxify your body:


1. Open the channels of elimination by cleansing the colon (i.e., colonics).

2. Stimulate the flow of lymph to build the immune system through:


a. deep diaphragmic breathing (3 sets/10 times per day)
b. rebounding
c. lymphatic drainage/massage
d. dry brushing
3. Complete a dietary cleanse to support the digestive track, blood, intestines,
kidneys, liver, and lungs (ideally once or twice per year).

Common Symptoms of Toxicity Overload in the Body

• Constipation • Headaches
• Depression • Acne
• Fatigue • Skin conditions (eczema, psoriasis, etc.)
• Frequent colds • Sinus congestion
• Halitosis (bad breath) • Joint stiffness/aches and pains
• Indigestion • Menstrual problems
• Obesity • Allergies
• All the ‘itises’—colitis, diverticulitis, bronchitis, pancreatitis, sinusitis, etc.

About the Colon
• The average person carries around 10 to 15 pounds of fecal matter in their system.
• When the colon becomes constipated, generally it is packed or lined with accumulated feces that become
hardened and lodged in the pockets of the wall. This build-up may take many months or years and can
result in 5 to 15 pounds of added weight, causing the colon to become distended, abnormally shaped,
and ineffective.
• Many overweight patients have eliminated as much as 10 to 25 pounds by having their intestinal tract
cleansed.
• The colon is the largest perpetrator of disease of any organ in the body and is said to be the initiator of
80% of all critical illnesses.

Death Begins in the Colon


The colon is a sewage system, but by neglect and abuse it becomes
a cesspool. When it is clean and normal, we are well and happy. Let
it stagnate and it will distill the poisons of decay, fermentation, and
putrefaction into the blood, poisoning the brain and nervous system so
that we become mentally depressed and irritable; the heart so that we
are weak and listless; the lungs so that our breath is foul; the digestive
organs so we are distressed and bloated; and the blood so the skin is
sallow and unhealthy. In short, every organ of the body is poisoned,
and we age prematurely; look and feel old; the joints are stiff and
painful; neuritis, dull eyes, and a sluggish brain overtake us; and the
pleasure of living is gone.
— Bernard Jensen, 1974

4 Ways to Clean the Colon

1. Colon Hydrotherapy (i.e., a colonic)


2. Colon Hydrotherapy with Libbe Bed
3. Colema Board (i.e., a home colonic unit)
4. Enema and Implant

LIFE MASTERY
COLON HYDROTHERAPY
A colonic is critically important during a cleansing and detoxification program because it keeps the
body from reabsorbing toxins back into itself. As you are cleansing and perhaps taking herbs and
supplements to support the detoxification process, your body can be overloaded with releasing toxins.
If these increased toxins are not quickly and effectively removed from the body via the bowel with
colonics, the same toxins will be reabsorbed into the bloodstream and carried throughout the whole
body. This reabsorption can cause such discomforts as malaise, nausea, headaches, joint and muscle
aches, and foul-smelling breath. Detoxification and cleansing can cause some healing discomforts—we
will discuss those later when we talk about the healing crisis—but colonics will keep them to a minimum.

5 Benefits of Colon Hydrotherapy


1. Cleanse the Colon
Toxic material is broken down and removed so that it can no longer poison your body or inhibit
assimilation and elimination. Even debris built up over time can be removed in the process of a
series of colonics. Once impacted material is removed, your colon can begin to function as it was
meant to. A colonic is a whole body rejuvenation treatment.

2. Exercise the Colon Muscles


The buildup of toxic debris weakens the colon muscles and impairs their functioning. The gentle filling
and emptying of the colon improves the peristaltic activity (muscular contraction) by which the colon
naturally moves material. This will help speed up the transit time of fecal material once the colon
muscles have been toned, strengthened, and rejuvenated.

3. Reshape the Colon


When problem conditions exist in the colon, they tend to alter its shape and structure, which
in turn cause more health problems. The gentle action of water, coupled with the massage
techniques and experience of the colon therapist, help eliminate bulging pockets of waste and
eventually narrowed, spastic constrictions, finally enabling the colon to resume its natural state.
Other manipulative and massage techniques can help reshape the colon structure over time.

4. Hydrate the Body


Our bodies are made up of 70% water and with the use of pure water in the colonic, our bodies
are able to absorb much-needed clean and pure water to hydrate the cells of the body so that
they can function at a higher rate as well as dilute the toxins already present within the body.

5. Prevent Reabsorption of Toxins During a Cleanse


When you are completing a cleanse, your body is releasing all kinds of toxins—this is your body’s
chance to clean itself out. Unless you remove the toxins through colonics, many of these same
toxins will be reabsorbed in your system. This reabsorption will not only cause you to feel ill, but
also decrease the effectiveness of the cleanse.

COLON FACTS
• Most people have anywhere from 10 to 15 lbs of fecal matter still in their systems.

• What goes in must come out—if you eat three meals a day, you should eliminate three meals a
day.

• Most of us have parasites in our systems. The challenge is that the most common symptom is no
symptom. The challenge with parasites is that they do additional damage by not only feeding off
your waste, but also creating their own. Doing a week-iclong cleanse will help you make huge
progress. If you still think you have a parasite challenge after your cleanse, you can then consider
doing a parasite cleanse specifically.

• Drinking plenty of water is one of the best things you can do to support your colon health.


Autointoxication

Self-poisoning; creating a toxic environment through improper


nutrition (i.e., not enough live foods) and an acidic lifestyle.
This is aggravated by a lack of cleansing.

THE 10 COMMANDMENTS
FOR A HEALTHIER COLON
1. Drink 8 to 12 glasses per day of the best water, herbal tea, and/or fresh juices
you can get. Be sure to drink half your body weight in ounces daily.

2. Eat a high-fiber diet.

3. Eliminate extrinsic poisons such as sugar, coffee, alcohol, tobacco, chocolate,


and preservatives. All of these foods leach vital nutrients from your body.

4. Eat more raw vegetables and fewer processed foods.

5. Avoid dairy products.

6. Don’t overeat. Chew your food slowly and thoroughly.

7. Eliminate or reduce the intake of antibiotics and medicines.


They disrupt the balance of required bacteria in the colon.

8. Create a stress-reduced environment.

9. Exercise. Be mobile. Get moving!

10. When nature calls, answer. Don’t wait or put it off. Your system needs a break in
order to concentrate on extracting toxins and wastes from its cells and tissues.

Remember

Don’t wait until you are in extreme pain or suffering from rashes, sores, or internal
pain to restore the functioning ability of your liver, stomach, and colon through
cleansing and detoxification. Experience the vitality, energy, and glow of life; extend
the length of your life; keep a youthful look and slow the aging process by cleansing
your colon. Create a life of health!

Organ Health
In order to understand what needs to be cleansed and rebuilt to restore you to optimal health, let’s look at the
major organs involved in maintaining physical health and balance. We’ll discuss how each of them functions
and show you the health risks associated when each of these organs gets out of balance.

Colon Health
This next section will enlighten you as to the importance of having a healthy and fully-functioning colon so you
can get the most out of the foods you eat, have more energy, and glow with health. The following material will
explain how the colon functions and reveal various practices, healthy eating habits, and therapies to help you
realize a fuller and more vitalized life.

How & What It Does

The process of digestion begins with the mixing of food with saliva, which A Healthy Colon
starts the breakdown and processing of nutrients in the food. When this matter
reaches the stomach, it interacts with gastric juices to create a product called
“chyme.” This material then enters the small intestine.

The wave of motion known as peristalsis moves the matter through the three
sections of the small intestine and eventually into the large intestine, also
known as the colon.

The colon secretes a mucus substance to produce lubrication for the passage of the matter, which is known
as feces. The colon is normally filled with billions of microorganisms called bacteria. The bacteria synthesize
valuable nutrients by digesting portions of the fecal matter. Through this digestion, it produces vitamins such as
K and portions of the B-complex group.

A properly functioning digestive system allows for proper distillation of all essential nutrients from the
food that has been ingested. Ideally, we should look the perfect picture of health: shiny; glowing facial
skin; white eyes around the pupils; unblemished and hydrated skin; shiny hair; pleasant breath;
pleasant body odor; no illnesses; and boundless energy.

LIFE MASTERY
The Real Picture

What we have instead of the ideal picture are eating habits, behavioral patterns, and environmental
pollutants that have created the following scenario: fecal matter encrusted to the walls of the
colon which has accumulated over a lifetime and which doesn’t
allow for proper digestive functioning. The results can be: skin
blemishes, rashes, dry skin, menstrual problems, halitosis, flatulence,
headaches, depression, moodiness, constipation, sluggish elimination,
straining, diarrhea, hemorrhoids, diverticulitis, prolapsed colon,
collapsed colon, intestinal parasites, premature aging, and colon
cancer.

Basically, because the colon has been unable to do its job, toxins
(poisons) are released into the body. In turn, the body tries to
eliminate in the best way it knows how. Toxins in the blood stream
cause cell destruction; accumulation of toxins in body tissues
creates slowed reaction time and response; increasing toxicity
in the bloodstream causes a lack of oxygen to the cells, which
brings about a lack of energy; as we lack energy, the body spirals
downward, unable to eliminate the toxins effectively.

STATISTICS

Doctors have found amazing evidence to support the importance of colon health:
• Over 180 million Americans suffer from bowel problems.

• Colon cancer kills approximately 53,000 Americans every year.

• P
rofessor Arnold Ehret stated that, “The average person carries around as much as ten pounds of
un-eliminated feces in their bowels.”

• People have been known to hold onto things they’ve eaten for over 30 years in their colon.

• Colon expert Robert Gray concludes, “Nearly every man, woman, and child living in modern society today is
constipated, even though the bowels may move regularly every day.”

• A mere change of diet or an occasional laxative will not undo decades of neglect and abuse.

• The Royal Society of Medicine reports, “It may be said that almost every chronic disease known is
directly or indirectly due to the influence of bacterial poisons absorbed from the intestine.”

• Dr. Bernard Jensen, D.C., stated, “Most all health problems begin in the bowel.”

Liver Health
The liver produces 13,000 chemicals and over 50,000 enzymes, which under a healthy regimen of diet,
exercise, and a low-stress/low-polluted environment, provides optimal balance within all of the body’s systems.

The bodily hierarchy of importance puts the liver at the top, even over the brain, for survival. Your body will
let your brain suffer oxygen deprivation before your liver.

It is estimated that the human body can function on just 20% of the total capacity of the liver. It is also
estimated that few people function on more than 35% of liver capacity, particularly after age 38, and people
with a 35% liver capacity feel, react, think, see, and perform many times better than those who have only a
20% capacity. Imagine how you would feel if your liver were to operate at 70%!

The liver is not only vulnerable to poisons introduced into the system, but it is also responsive to our emotions.
If we are in a constant state of anger or are highly stressed, our liver is producing chemicals to either support
the mood or combat it, producing an overload of chemicals that can cause adverse effects on the body, its
systems, and organs.

DETOXING THE LIVER
Nutrition & Herbs
Herbs are a wonderful and natural method for supporting detoxification and rejuvenation of the liver.
They fall into several categories depending on whether they are considered for food or as a supplement.

• Vegetables are described as “pot herbs” in that we cook them. They have low toxicity and are considered
herbs, but they are eaten more for sustenance than therapeutic use unless taken in large quantities.

• Tonic herbs are more therapeutic, as well as mild, sustaining, gentle, and toning. They can be used over
a long period of time, are not very toxic, and many are used to provide supplemental nutrients.

• Therapeutic herbs have more pronounced toxicities that can cause side effects if used in too large a dose
or over too long a period of time. They are generally used for the purpose of healing, with their primary
action being to stimulate or sedate an activity of a tissue or body system.

• Drastic herbs (poison ivy, poison hemlock, quinine, ipecac, deadly nightshade) are considered poisonous
and cause drastic side effects. They possess tremendous healing properties when largely diluted, though if
undiluted, they can cause death.

Lymph Health
Dr. F.P. Millard believes that the majority of disturbances and organic involvements, from colds to fevers, have
a bearing upon the lymphatic system, as it is quite impossible to consider any organic disturbances that do not
include a lymphatic change.

Few people are in such good health that they have normal lymphatic channels and lymphatic fluid. Every
abrasion of the skin, every abscessed tooth, every diseased tonsil, sluggish organ, and congested area means
a more or less overburdened lymphatic system.

The Cell’s Fluid System


Arterial System
Brings oxygen and nutrients to the cell through arterioles and filtrates to connective tissue.

Venous System
Reabsorbs fluid (by re-absorption) from the interstitial tissue and carries CO² and metabolic products back
to the heart for oxygenation. It also distributes hormones and various active substances within the body.

Lymphatic System
Maintains the balance (homeostasis) between the arterial in-flow (filtration) and the venous out-flow
(re-absorption) within interstitial tissue, by removing fluid and debris (i.e., dust, fats, proteins, etc.) not
reabsorbed by the venous system.

Contributors to Lymph Obstruction

• Allergies
• Bad eating habits
• Physical, emotional, and spiritual stress
• Little or no exercise
• Shallow breathing
• Anger, loss of temper, resentment, greed, holding grudges
• Shock such as death in the family, loss of job, loss of promotion, divorce, illness, financial setbacks
• Fears, such as testing, relationships, failure, etc.
• Environmental pollution/toxicity to include inhalation of chemical particulant such as ammonia, Clorox,
bug and plant sprays, insect sprays (Nile virus mosquito), automobile or diesel exhaust, secondhand
smoke, paints, rugs, polyvinyl chloride (mobile homes), etc.
• Skin contamination due to fertilizers, work environment, plant bug sprays, particulate inhalation

1. Water Is Life
Water makes up more than half the weight of the human body. All the cell and organ functions depend on
water for functioning. It serves as a lubricant and forms the fluids that surround the joints. It also regulates
body temperature, as the cooling and heating is distributed through perspiration.

How Do You Get Dehydrated? Did You Know?


Through activities of daily living, the average day’s loss of fluid is 4 liters.

How Much Water Do You Need To Drink?
• Each day you should drink half of your body weight in ounces. In other words, if you weigh 200 pounds,
you should be drinking 100 ounces of water a day.
• Ideally, you should never go more than 15 or 20 minutes without sipping water.
• You should start drinking water in the morning, before you even get out of bed. This is when you are most toxic
and dehydrated.

All Water is Not Created Equal


Clean water is a scarce commodity. Most faucet water in America is badly polluted. The Environmental
Protection Agency figures show that about 85% of faucet water in America is now contaminated, and a test
of the water supply of 954 cities by Office of Technology Assessment shows that 30% of them are “seriously
contaminated.” While the tap water will not kill you, or even make you obviously sick, there is no way your
body can function properly on poisons.*

What about bottled mineral water; is that good for you?


Most bottled water is simply tap water put through minimal conditioning filters to make it taste better. Even
bottled water is unsafe unless it is the right kind of water.

Is all water the same?


It’s important for the body to stay slightly alkaline. (See the next page for more information.) Drinking water with
the right pH will help your body eliminate acidic wastes. Alkaline water also has powerful antioxidant properties
which support the body’s natural healing processes.
You can either buy ionized alkaline water in bottles or buy an alkalizer for your tap water system.

LIFE MASTERY
2. Alkalinity
Maintaining Balanced Body Chemistry
Maintaining a proper ratio between acid and alkaline foods in your diet is of vital importance to maintaining
health. In fact, too much acidity in the body’s tissues is the cause of cell mutation, which leads to disease.
One of the highest priorities of your body is to make sure that the blood alkalinity remains at a level
supporting cellular life. To do that, your blood needs to be maintained at an ideal pH of 7.365. When the
body becomes more acidic, the body needs alkaline salts (sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium). This is so
important that the body maintains alkali reserves of these to have available at all times. But if you have a
diet that is extremely acidic (or a stressful lifestyle) you may be depleting those reserves to the point where
you have none for the body and its tissues.

All foods are “burned” (digested) in the body, leaving an ash as the result. This food ash can be neutral, acid, or
alkaline, depending largely on the mineral composition of the food. Acid ash (acidosis) results when there
is a depletion of the alkali reserves in your blood and tissue, which a healthy body keeps in order to meet
emergency demands if too many acid-producing foods are consumed.

In a normal, healthy diet, a ratio of four parts alkaline to one part acid is needed in order to maintain your
blood at an ideal pH of 7.365. When your diet and lifestyle maintain this kind of balance, microorganisms
such as pleomorphic virus, bacteria, yeast, and fungus will de-evolve back to their original, healthful state.
However, when your body becomes extremely acidic because alkaline reserves have been depleted (or
when your diet becomes extremely acidic), your health can be seriously compromised and cells begin to
mutate. Your body can function normally and sustain health only in the presence of adequate alkaline
reserves and the proper acid-alkaline ratio in all of the body’s tissues and blood.

3. The Power of Live & Green Foods
The Energetic Power of Wheatgrass
Wheatgrass juice is a green juice pressed from young wheat plants that is one of the richest sources of
chlorophyll, natural vitamins, minerals, enzymes and life energy available. The most important property of
wheatgrass is that it is made of about 70% chlorophyll. The chlorophyll molecule is almost identical to a human
red blood cell (also known as hemoglobin) with only one significant difference: hemoglobin has iron as its central
nucleus whereas chlorophyll has magnesium as its nucleus.

What else makes wheatgrass so valuable?


In addition to chlorophyll, wheatgrass provides the following nutrients to the body:
• Vitamins: Wheatgrass contains a high amount of vitamins A, B, C, and E.
• Minerals: Of the more than 102 minerals available in the soil, 92 of them are absorbed by wheatgrass.
• Amino Acids: Wheatgrass contains 17 amino acids, including all 9 of the essential amino acids (which comprise
proteins in the body). These are the 9 amino acids that the body cannot manufacture by itself—it must
synthesize these from the foods we eat.
• Enzymes: Wheatgrass contains a lot of enzymes and also stimulates the body to produce its own natural
enzymes.
• Wheatgrass stimulates peristalsis (the effective motion of the digestive system) and supports thyroid
functioning.

Where to find it:


Any major health food store or juice bar will have fresh wheatgrass juice. Or you can purchase a juicer and
juice it yourself. You can even grow your own wheatgrass (if you decide to do this, visit a health food store for a
booklet on how to do this properly).

4. The Power of Effective Supplementation
It’s important to know exactly what and why you are putting things into your body. Supplements are
designed to support you in creating and maintaining a lifestyle of vibrant health, vital life, and abundant
energy that may not be available through today’s food choices alone. However, it is important that you be
aware that while most supplements are safe and effective when taken in the correct dosages, it can be dangerous
to overstep those dosages. More is not always better when it comes to supplementing your diet, and
common sense is the key. The following are some basics to help you to learn and understand your path
toward a more vibrant and vital lifestyle.

DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS
Because today’s typical diet generally fails to provide sufficient amounts of nutrient intake, dietary
supplements can be a beneficial way to achieve both short and long-term health goals.

VITAMINS
Vitamins are a group of organic compounds that are required by the human body. Ideally, these vitamins would
be available in the diet and food sources that occur naturally; however, with all of the processing and cooking
that kills our foods today, there is a scarce amount of such vitamins available to us through our diet.

MINERALS
Minerals are elements originating from the earth and cannot be made. Most of the minerals in our diets come
indirectly from animal sources or directly from plants. We may also get some of our minerals from the water
that we drink, but this can vary from place to place. Minerals play a number of vital roles within the human
body. Maintenance of the structural integrity of our bones and teeth, enzyme activity, and a variety of other
essential biological processes require minerals. In order to acquire the necessary levels of minerals, supple-
mentation has become necessary.

5. The Power of Lymphasizing


The lymph system is the detoxification system of the body by which fluid can flow from the interstitial
spaces (the spaces around the cells) into the blood. The lymph system is responsible for carrying away
large particle matter (dead cells and other toxic materials) and blood proteins away from the tissue spaces,
neither of which can be removed by absorption directly into the blood capillary. This return of proteins to
the blood from interstitial spaces (by the lymphatic system) is an essential function. If this were shut down
we would die within 24 hours.

Dr. Alexis Carrel: Nobel Recipient, 1912

Dr. Alexis Carrel, the father of modern organ transplants, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1912 for his
research on the cultivation of living cells. Carrel’s classic experiment proved that cells in a chicken’s heart
stayed alive if the lymph was continuously renewed.
Dr. Carrel was also able to keep embryonic cells alive for over 10 years, whereas the normal life expectancy
is only 4-5 years. This was possible thanks to the lymphatic milleau which was changed every two days. In
effect, Dr. Carrel’s experiment demonstrated that changing the lymphatic milleau every two days doubled the
life of the cells!

6. The Power of Healthy Fats & Oils
Most fats can be classified into one of two categories: fats that heal (healthy fats) and fats that kill (danger-
ous fats). Essential fatty acids are considered essential nutrients for the body. The human body cannot make
omega-3 or omega-6 fatty acids, so these must come from food or supplementation. Most people already get
enough omega-6 fatty acids from their diets, and the body produces omega-9 fatty acids. For this reason, most
people only need to supplement omega-3s.

12 Reasons Why Essential Fatty Acids


Are Important to Healthy Living

1. Essential fatty acids are necessary for many vital functions in all cells,
tissues, and organs. They increase oxidation and metabolic rate. Energy
levels go up and create higher stamina and decreased recovery time.
2. Skin care: Besides creating smooth, velvety skin, essential fatty acids help
improve acne, psoriasis, and eczema.
3. Digestion: Essential fatty acids help remove to prevent leaky intestines that
can lead to allergies, inflammation, and autoimmune problems.
4. In the cardiovascular system, fatty acids are required to transport
cholesterol, lower triglycerides, make platelets less sticky, and lower
blood pressure.
5. Fatty acids elevate mood, lift depression, and improve our stability to deal
with stress. High stress levels promote high blood pressure, water retention,
inflammation, and blood clot formation.
6. Fatty acids stabilize the heartbeat, preventing heartbeat abnormalities
(arrhythmia) that can lead to cardiac arrest.
7. Overweight people and animals benefit from fatty acids because their
kidneys expel excess water.
8. In the immune system, essential fatty acids protect DNA from damage.
Although it is not a cure for cancer, there are benefits for people and
animals with cancer, using essential fatty acids. Call it nutritional support
for cardiovascular and immune systems.
9. Sufferers of osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis report decreased
inflammation.
10. Essential fatty acids are involved in transporting minerals through the body.
11. The brain does not function without essential fatty acids.
12. Recent studies indicate that an unborn child draws from its mother’s
body substantial amounts of the essential fats required to build
its brain.

EMOTIONAL MASTERY IS THE ULTIMATE POWER
When you master your emotions, you can shift the quality of your life in a moment

Emotional mastery is the ability to consistently change from any undesired state to a desired state
instantaneously.

3 Levels of Emotional Mastery

1. The knowledge and experience of being able to change your state instantaneously from
undesired to desired (or needed).
2. The ability to consistently change your state from undesired to desired (or needed), even in a
particularly challenging context/situation.
3. The ability to create a desired state and live in it consistently across contexts/situations, whether
they are challenging or not.

Why Many People Experience Pain Consistently


Q: Why in the world, when we have unlimited choices, would a person experience pain
on a consistent basis?
A: Most people are unconscious of the way they receive and evaluate information.

What are the three decisions that your brain is constantly making?
1. What to focus on.
2. What things mean.
3. What to do.

Whatever people do, they do it for a reason!

LIFE MASTERY
THE MOOD METER
Measuring the Quality of Your Emotions
What we do is not based on our abilities, our talents, or skills, but rather it is based on how we feel. Most of us
live in reaction to our environments. Our emotions are like the ocean—a brewing storm one day, as calm as the
doldrums the next. The mood meter is a powerful tool designed to help you take complete and immediate control
of the most important and powerful part of your life: the emotions you feel consistently. Can you think of
anything more important than the way you feel?

When asked to describe what they truly want in their worlds people typically respond with a myriad of answers:
more money, better relationships, a powerful legacies. Invariably, when people stated the “what” that they
wanted, it was attached to a feeling that would accompany it: “If I made more money, I would feel like I had
more freedom, and security;” “If I were in a better relationship, I would feel more loved.” In reality, these people
were not as interested in having the money or the relationship as they were in having the feelings of power,
freedom, security, and love that accompanied them. In turn, those feelings made the people feel better about
themselves—they were looking for a change in the way they felt, the emotional content of their lives.

If you are looking for an emotional change in your life, it’s important to take a look at the emotions you are cur-
rently feeling on a consistent basis. Remember, emotions are not “done to us.” We create a triad of physiology,
language patterns and focus and beliefs that form the makeup of the emotions we feel. In order to change how
we feel in any given moment, we must break the triad of the old emotion by creating a new emotion or emo-
tional triad.

The first and most important step in taking charge of your emotions is to measure them often. The more
you measure your progress, the more accountable you are for your actions. By consistently measuring what
you are feeling, you will set new standards for yourself on a regular basis. You will also tap into the power of
choice: Consistent measurement will raise your awareness of the emotions you are indulging in and allow you
to find new and better emotional choices for your future.

Instructions for the Mood Meter


Step 1: Commit to measuring your moods several times throughout the day (e.g., morning,
afternoon, and evening).

Step 2: Looking at the descriptions of the different emotional states on the left side of the mood
meter (see the next page), choose the word that best describes your current state—how you
are feeling at this very moment. Ask yourself, “Where is my center of gravity right now?”

Record the date and time at the top of the page and make a mark in that box which
corresponds to how you’re feeling. If you want, you may also write a brief description
or a couple of key words that describe how you’re feeling at the bottom of the column.

Step 3: Ask yourself, “What do I need to do within myself or my environment right now in order to
feel better?” Once you change your state, make a mark in the box that corresponds to how
you’re feeling in the “after” column. Be sure to capture a brief description of what you did
to change your state.

EMOTIONS & YOUR HEALTH
The Placebo Response
How important are our emotions to our overall health? Let’s take a look at the placebo effect. Following are
two studies (also reported in The New York Times, January 9, 2000—“The Placebo Prescription”) that talk
about the power of our mental states to heal ourselves and restore our bodies to health and vitality.

The Power of Placebo: Two Influential Studies

Study 1: 1960 by Leonard Cobb, M.D. (cardiologist, Seattle, WA)


Angina procedure (internal mammary ligation): Doctors make small incisions in the chest and tie
knots in two arteries to try to increase blood flow to the heart.
Procedure results: Of all of the patients, 90% report that the angina procedure helped.
Placebo procedure: Doctors make small incisions in the chest, as in the angina procedure, but do
nothing else (i.e., they do not tie knots in the two arteries).
Placebo results: Results show the same improvement—90% of patients reported that the
procedure helped. Because the placebo proved to be just as powerful as the internal mammary
ligation, the actual process was soon abandoned.

Study 2: 1994 by J. Bruce Moseley, M.D. (surgeon, Houston, TX)


Placebo Study: Dr. Moseley had 10 patients scheduled for an operation to relieve arthritis in their
knees. The patients were all approximately middle-aged, former military men. All 10 men were
scheduled to be wheeled into the operating room, draped, examined, anesthetized, and sent to
the recovery room. The next day, they would all be sent home from the hospital equipped with
crutches and painkillers. In this double-blind study, the following situations occurred:
• Two men underwent standard arthroscopic surgery (scraping and rinsing of the knee joint);
• Three men underwent surgery with the rinsing alone (no scraping);
• Five men received incisions but no surgical procedure at all (i.e., placebo surgery).

Study results: Six months after surgery, the patients still did not know which procedure they
had undergone (i.e., a placebo or the actual surgery); however, 100% of them reported marked
improvement in their levels of pain.

The bigger the intervention, the more expectation the patients had that the
procedures would work, and thus, the placebos were more effective.

MENU OF WAYS TO FEEL GOOD
Once you have measured what you are feeling on a consistent basis, you need to think about how to
change those feelings for the better. But remember, you can’t stop one action or feeling without replacing it
with another. If you tell yourself that you are going to give up pizza completely, you will have little chance of
succeeding unless you create and condition an empowering alternative to your pizza craving! For example,
instead of ordering Pizza Hut® deep-dish pepperoni with extra cheese pizza, your empowering alternative
could be vegetarian pizza with soy cheese. You still get to eat your pizza; it’s just a healthier version of the
food you crave. Plus, as your taste buds begin to change through the conditioning of this new alternative, you
will begin to crave your healthy alternative more and more.

Your menu of ways to feel good is designed to offer you a plethora of options for feeling great. Usually,
when people don’t feel well—physically or emotionally—they don’t have a laundry list of “feel good” items
from which to choose. So, once they’ve exhausted the few options they do have, they become consistently
glum. None of us desire this kind of life! We all deserve to have a magnitude of options that we can choose
from on a daily basis that make us feel good, love ourselves more, and allow us to meet all of our needs.
So how do you create this amazing menu? Read on.

Instructions

1. Brainstorm a list of activities that make you feel good—activities that when you engage in them
will change your state and cause you to feel positive emotions. Also, create a menu of ways to
love yourself more.

2. Be certain to consider the following criteria when creating your list:


• Is it convenient for you?
• Is it easily accessible?
• Does it cost money?
• Do I need to do it with other people?

3. Make sure that you create a variety of options that fit these different categories so that you are
able to follow through on whatever option you choose no matter where you are, what time it is,
or what else is going on in your life!

4. Try combining your menu with your mood meter! After you complete your mood meter, ask
yourself, “How do I want to feel right now?” Then, pull out your “feel good” menu, pick an
activity, engage in it wholeheartedly, and then complete your mood meter again. Were you
effective at changing your state?

QUALITY QUANTIFIER
The Urge Buster: How to Instantly Break Your Pattern & Take Back Control
The Quality Quantifier, or the QQ, is a simple tool you can use to immediately increase your enjoyment in any
situation. It can also be used to change your behavior immediately by shifting the level of pain or pleasure
you associate to any task. Most people never decide in advance the precise level of quality (pleasure, enjoyment,
excitement) they are committed to experiencing in a task; nor do they decide what negative feelings they will
associate to a behavior to avoid indulging in it. Instead, they settle for whatever “shows up.” Leaving the quality
of your life’s experiences to chance is a recipe for disappointment, frustration, boredom, unhappiness, and
behaviors that do not support you.

The Quality Quantifier guides you step-by-step through a simple process to increase your desire (i.e., your drive
or urge) for an activity that supports you, or decrease your desire for an activity that does not support you. In
short, it’s an “urge-management” tool. For example, with effective employment of the QQ, in only a few seconds
you can increase your desire to exercise and decrease your desire to eat chocolate cake.

When applied properly, the QQ is a surefire strategy for getting what you really want by immediately tapping into
more of your innate abilities and resources. It’s a simple, four-step process in which you ask yourself a brief
series of questions, and it’s built upon the following understandings:

4 EASY STEPS
1. You must assess your current level of desire. By assigning a numeric value to your experience, you set a
benchmark for creating the experience you desire.
2. The second step of the QQ is consciously describing what feelings/sensations you want to experience
while participating in a particular activity—or to associate to a behavior you’re trying to eliminate. Decide
in advance what level of positive emotions/sensations you are committed to experiencing. Doesn’t it make
sense that when you tell your brain precisely what you want from something, you have a better chance of
coming up with a way to achieve it?
3. Decide and quantify (give a numeric rating to) the quality of experience you are now committed to
having. The quantification is on a scale from -10 to +10 (from completely and utterly repelled by this
activity to irresistibly compelled to do it now). Ask yourself, “On a scale from -10 to +10, what is the
quality of experience I am committed to having?”
4. Develop a simple plan. With one question, you can quickly develop a strategy for experiencing the level
of quality you desire. Ask yourself, “What conditions must I create within myself and/or the environment to
experience this level of quality? What could I focus on/appreciate while I am participating in this task to
bring me to the level I desire? What could I do differently to cause me to enjoy this task at least at a level +8?”

With this simple action, you will think of readily available resources that will allow you to enjoy yourself
much more. Rather than starting the activity reluctantly, expecting pain—and, of course, getting it—you
are asking questions to redirect your focus. With the addition of each of these changes in perception or
procedure, you’ll find that the quality of your experience is immediately enhanced.

LIFE MASTERY
HOW TO USE THE QUALITY QUANTIFIER
Example 1: Pizza—Decreasing Desire
How do you use the QQ to reduce your desire for something? Here are the four steps to utilizing the QQ:

Step 1: Quantify
When I think of engaging in this activity (e.g., food, meeting, conversation, task), what is the current level
of quality (feelings/sensations) I associate to it (-10 to +10)? What am I currently experiencing?
For pizza, let’s say you’re at +10—you can’t live without it, as one seminar participant couldn’t . . .

Step 2: Describe
What are the sensations/feelings I want? What do I want to experience?
What do I want to feel when I think of this task?
Our pizza-loving participant (let’s call him Zeke) had already lost 44 pounds in the last four months,
and he figured that unless he dropped his addiction to pizza, he wouldn’t be able to reach his goals.
He no longer wanted to be a slave to this food. He wanted to feel no desire; he wanted to feel
indifference, and he knew it was probably in his best interest even to feel disgust.

Step 3: Decide
What is the level of experience (quality of sensations) I’m committed to having?
Do I want to associate -10 to eating chocolate, or just -5? Do I want to associate my level of pleasure at a 7,
an 8 or a 10 for this exercise I’m about to engage in?
Zeke wanted his enthusiasm for pizza to plummet to -10.

Step 4: Strategize
What has to happen in order for me to feel that way about it? What conditions must I create inside myself
and/or the environment to experience that level of quality?
Zeke was assisted in moving down the QQ scale in small increments. First, to get from +10 down to
+5, he imagined the pizza with roaches crawling on it. Then, to get down to +2, he imagined sand
and gravel all over the pizza. Visualizing 25% of the pizza covered with blood was his strategy for
getting it down to -3. To get down to -6, he imagined the pizza covered with 2 inches of green olives
(for him this was worse than blood!). Two inches of sauerkraut would have moved it down to -8, and
a combination of roaches, olives, and sauerkraut (“The Works”) brought it all the way down to -10.

By the time we were done, he didn’t want to have anything to do with pizza, nor could he even

future, he could always take control of his urges by using the QQ to get back down to -10—
or to any level he desired!

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN!
The 2 Most Important Principles in Using the Quality Quantifier

1. Remember that there are many ways to create a +10 experience.


2. Define the rules so you have control—not the environment or someone else.

Remember

The 4 Easy Steps


1. Quantify: When I think of engaging in this activity (e.g., food, meeting, conversation, task),
what is the current level of quality (feelings/sensations) I associate to it (-10 to +10)? What am I cur-
rently experiencing?
2. Describe: What are the sensations/feelings I want? What do I want to experience? What do I want to
feel when I think of this?
3. Decide: What is the level of experience (quality of sensations) I’m committed to having? Do I want to
associate -10 to eating chocolate, or just -5? Do I want to associate my level of pleasure at a +7, +8,
or a +10 for this exercise I’m about to engage in?
4. Strategize: What has to happen for me to feel that way about it? What conditions must I create inside
myself and/or the environment to experience that level of quality?

Quality Questions:
When you ask a new question, your brain comes up with new answers.
What would I have to believe?  What’s fun about this?
What would I have to start noticing or focusing on?  What am I grateful for?
How can I learn even more while enjoying the process?

EXERCISE: QQ—DECREASE YOUR DESIRE


Think of a situation where you could apply the Quality Quantifier to decrease your desire. For example, it might
be a trigger food that you want to stop eating. Or maybe you want to watch less TV or waste less time surfing
the Internet.

Once you’ve decided on a situation or behavior you want to decrease your desire for, capture it below:

| | | | | | | | | | 0
| | | | | | | | | | |
-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Step 1: Quantify
On a scale from -10 to +10, when you think about engaging in this activity (i.e., eating a specific
food, spending too much time watching TV), what is the current level of desire you associate
to it?

Step 2: Describe
What do you want to experience? What do you want to feel when you think of this?

Step 3: Decide
What’s the level of experience you’re committed to having?

Step 4: Strategize
What has to happen for you to feel this way about engaging in this activity? Capture some of
the triggers you’ll use immediately to change your level of desire for this situation, activity, or
behavior.

LIFE MASTERY

EXERCISE: QQ—DECREASE YOUR DESIRE


Think of a situation where you could apply the Quality Quantifier to increase your desire. For example, you
might have put off discussing an upset with someone for too long, and now it’s really time to take care of it.
Or maybe you want to love to walk. If you walk two miles a day, five days a week, you cut your chances of
heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Plus, it feels good! What else would you have to think about to increase
your desire to walk? Maybe you create an upbeat playlist of music, schedule walks with a friend or walk with
your dog.

Once you’ve decided on a situation or behavior you want to increase your desire for, capture it below:

| | | | | | | | | | 0
| | | | | | | | | | |
-10 -9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Step 1: Quantify
On a scale from -10 to +10, when you think about engaging in this activity (i.e., having a
conversation, exercising), what is the current level of desire you associate to it?

Step 2: Describe
What do you want to experience? What do you want to feel when you think of this?

Step 3: Decide
What’s the level of experience you’re committed to having?

Step 4: Strategize
What has to happen for you to feel this way about engaging in this activity? Capture some of
the triggers you’ll use immediately to change your level of desire for this situation, activity, or

LIFE MASTERY
TRANSFORMING YOUR BELIEFS
About Health & Vitality

Definition

Belief: A feeling of certainty about what something means.


So often we are seduced into believing that events control our lives and that our environment has
shaped who we are today. No greater lie was ever told. It’s not the events of our lives that shape us,
but rather our beliefs about what those events mean. The meaning we attach to the events of our lives,
or our beliefs about the areas of our lives such as our health is what shapes who we are today and who
we’ll become tomorrow. In fact, our beliefs control everything we think, feel, and do.
Beliefs are what make the difference between a lifetime of vitality, health, energy, passion, joy, and love
and one of misery, health challenges, and devastation. They are what separate a Lance Armstrong from
a Jim Belushi or a Kurt Cobain.
Since our beliefs have the power to create or to destroy, it’s imperative that we consciously decide
what it is we believe in all the areas of our lives vs. allowing the beliefs that have been conditioned in
us since we were little to shape and direct our lives.
How often have all of us had beliefs in our past that we knew intellectually didn’t make sense, but
emotionally we still allowed them to control us in a negative way? Likewise, if we look at all the great
successes in our lives, undoubtedly we have beliefs that have empowered us to turn these dreams into
reality.

The 3 Types of Beliefs


1. An opinion: A belief based on references that we don’t have a lot of basis for intellectually, emotionally,
or physically in our bodies—usually stemming from information others have given us. Opinions can be shifted
pretty easily because we are not as vested in the references that form these beliefs.

2. A belief: More powerful than an opinion is a belief. A belief occurs when we have several references not
only from others, but from our own personal experiences. Beliefs are harder to shift than opinions because
they have a larger reference base and often we are more emotionally associated to them.

3. A conviction: A conviction is a belief system we are so certain about that it would be very difficult to
change it. Usually, convictions stem from very a strong personal reference base—we (or someone we know
intimately) has had a painful experience that caused us to form a conviction.

To take our lives to the next level, we must be willing to let go of our convictions
and to look at what truly makes the most sense to support us today.

In this section, we’ll take a look at what some of our beliefs about health have been (both empowering and
disempowering) and what they need to be now to achieve our ultimate levels of health, energy, and vitality.

CLOSING THE GAP
Turning Your Dreams into Reality

Now that you understand where you are and where you need to be in order to have the ultimate
relationship you deserve, it’s a matter of closing that gap and turning your dreams and desires
into reality.
Closing the gap requires creating the drive necessary to break through any obstacle that
will prevent you from achieving that vision. It means being totally honest with yourself and
understanding the person you need to become to attract an ideal mate and fulfill their needs.
You’ll have to let go of the beliefs and rules that are standing in your way.
You’ll have to take risks. You’ll have to love unconditionally. You’ll have to put your fears aside.
You’ll have to break your old patterns and make way for new ones that will lead you to the joy,
lasting happiness, fulfillment, and deep love of your ultimate relationship.
Most of all, you must refuse to settle. Once you associate to that vision of your ultimate
relationship and assume your new identity, you’ll know the joy associated with it—and the pain of
where you are now. Use that pain to help you make tough decisions and to help you take action in
spite of your fear. Close that gap, step into your new identity, and your ultimate relationship.
Use the following pages to evaluate your current situation, capture where you want to be, and

1. Never leave the site of a goal without taking some kind of action toward its attainment.
2. Don’t let a day go by without taking action toward your goal: Even the most minute action can move you
toward where you want to be. Every skill you apply, every thought you focus on, every in-CAN-tation you
do will allow you to make progress every single day.

MEASURE: The more often you measure your progress, the more likely it is you’ll produce your desired result.
This process is the only way you’ll know how much headway you’re making. You may even want to utilize an
outside source to measure for you.

CELEBRATE: Celebrate even the smallest progress. Nurture yourself at key moments of fulfillment. Don’t wait
until you’ve lost ten pounds to reward yourself; instead, celebrate the first time you pass up a chocolate chip
cookie. When you’ve achieved your dream, you can create the ultimate celebration for yourself.

DESIGN YOUR ULTIMATE MATE
Creating Relationships that Last

Long walks hand-in-hand on the beach at sunset; a comforter for two in front of a fireplace on a cold winter
day; gazing into each other’s eyes underneath a star-filled sky; the warmth, excitement, and joy that comes
from truly sharing an intimate connection. Is there anyone who doesn’t want all of these things? Imagine
what your life could be like if you had that perfect person with which to share it—the man or woman of
your dreams with whom you could build a loving, lasting relationship.

Most people consider the finding and attracting of an ideal mate a fairy tale—something that just doesn’t
happen outside of the movies! But finding the ideal mate is not an impractical dream. If you follow the
steps in this section, you will find and attract your ultimate mate. The majority of the people that Tony
has coached privately and at his seminars who have found their ideal mate thought they too would never
find that special someone. They had myriad excuses—maybe some are similar to your own—I’m too old, too
fat, too shy, I have kids or I have too many other failed relationships. Whatever reason is keeping you from
finding the right match for you, this section will help flush it out...and hopefully wipe it out!

This section will get you to stop waiting for a relationship and show you how to start making it happen.
There’s just one thing you have to understand before you begin: People who are successful at anything in
life, be it business, relationships, finances, education, etc., have one common thread—they know exactly
what they want. As simplistic as this key point may sound, it is the first step in creating anything of true
value in your life. If you don’t know what you want, you may never find it. Or, sadder yet, you may already
have it and not even realize it.

So, the process on the following pages will begin with that crucial first step—finding out what you do want!
The results of this process will transform the way you think about being in a relationship and guide you
to consciously create a union that will expand your horizons, enrich your being, and inspire you to soar to
heights you never thought possible.

If you are already in a relationship that you want to make better, this process will help you discover ways
to make that happen. You and your partner will have the opportunity to rediscover each other, renew the
reverence in your relationship, and meet one another’s needs at a much deeper level.

3. Take a friend.
4. Commit to going out at least once per week with a single friend (ideally
the same sex as you) for dinner, dancing, a concert or show, etc.
5. Network.
6. Tell your friends and associates what you’re looking for in an ideal mate
and ask them to keep their eyes open. Have them set up a meeting with
someone they know.
7. Don’t turn down dates
8. Remember, first impressions can be wrong. Even if your current date
isn’t Mr. or Mrs. Right, he/she may be friends with someone who is!
9. Advertise.
10. More people than you can imagine have met their ideal mate on an
online dating site. Don’t be afraid to check one out to see who is on
there.
11. Learn to flirt.
12. Ask friends who seem to be talented in this “fine art” to help you.
Or, look for a local or online course on the subject or read a book.

LIFE MASTERY
IF YOU ARE IN A RELATIONSHIP
Step 1: Describe the Qualities You Desire
The first step in taking your current relationship to the next level is to be clear about what you want. In a
committed relationship, it is important to focus on what you want and how your current partner is fulfilling those
needs and desires. Keeping the passion and intimacy strong in a relationship can be achieved by making sure
that you stay associated to what is already great about your current partner. By focusing on what you already
appreciate, you will create a space for the relationship to be outstanding and constantly grow.

Let’s start with this exercise as a way to clarify what is already great about your current partner.

EXERCISE
1. What’s great about your current partner? What do you truly appreciate about him/her?

LIFE MASTERY
IDEAL MATE INTEGRATION
There is one more step you need to take to make sure you find and attract your
ultimate mate! Specifically, you must consistently check in and monitor your progress.
Take the following steps to ensure you follow through.
Every morning, review your lists: Your ideal mate, your ideal you, and all of the
places you can go to meet this person and/or enrich your current relationship.

Hint

Once you have defined who you need to become, write this list (and your ultimate mate list) in
your journal. Keep both lists in a place you see daily. Then, be sure to review your lists every
morning. And in the evening, before you go to bed, ask yourself, “How have I moved closer to
finding, attracting, or keeping my ideal mate today? Who am I becoming to attract or keep
this person?”

Every week, perhaps when you are doing your planning, resolve to schedule at least
one activity that will put you in the right environment to meet this person or spice up
your current relationship.
Right now, before you leave this course, commit to one action you can take
immediately to create momentum toward your goal (e.g., call a friend to schedule a
fun activity, write an ad for the personals, call a friend or an associate and ask them
who they know, order a book on-line to help you better understand the opposite sex,
etc.).

Congratulations! You’ve done the work and now you’re ready for a rewarding, fun, exciting, committed
relationship that supports your growth. Think of the time you have taken completing these exercises as
an invitation that you are sending out to the universe and to the one you are destined to love. It has been
said that to love is to receive a glimpse of heaven. Keep this in mind in all of your relationships. Approach
them as your best self. Embody the qualities that will attract and keep your ideal mate and you will,
without a doubt, do just that!

LIFE MASTERY
YOUR LIFE PLAN FOR HEALTH & VITALITY
Creating a Daily Practice for Ongoing Mastery
Life Mastery is about the creation of a daily practice—decisions that you resolve not only to make but that you
commit to take action on each day. Our goal at Mastery University is to expose you to a plethora of resources
and tools and a variety of speakers with many different view points. In the end, however, it is up to you to
decide not only what you will believe and what principles you will live by, but most importantly, what you will
actually do.

The truth is that very few people will follow through on 100% of what they learn at any event, no matter how powerful.
What will determine your level of action, and therefore the impact on your quality of life are three things:

1. A compelling vision and purpose that will drive you to follow through
2. The decisions you make: What you resolve to stand for, believe, take action on
3. A scheduled plan for implementation

One of the most important ingredients of your plan is to maximize the resources available to you. To do this, there
are two key ingredients: flexibility and control. In order to achieve the maximum results in any area of your life,
these two emotional states/ways of living must be in balance. The concept was created by Ichak Adizes, Ph.D.,
author of Managing Corporate Lifecycles for use in a business context. The principle, however, applies equally
effectively to all the areas of your personal life.
So as you develop your life plan, we encourage you to do this from a place of maximization.

Prime: The Zone of Maximization*


Flexibility
100%

Time
When we are born, we usually have maximum flexibility but almost no control. Through time, however, our flex-
ibility tends to decrease, but our level of control increases. There are two places where these two elements inter-
sect: The second time they intersect is at death (when you have no control and no flexibility). The first time they
intersect, however, is at what is called ‘prime.’ Prime is the zone (it’s not one point, but rather a region) where
you are maximizing both elements: You have enough control so that you are held to a standard and are
maximizing your progress and results. At the same time, you have enough flexibility so that you are not too
rigid—because too much rigidity is not sustainable for most people.

LIFE MASTERY
What are the absolute ‘musts’ for you in each area of your life, and what are you going to live by
consistently? At the same time, what are some things that you learned this week that you know are simply
not a priority or practical for you to follow through on? For example, it’s nice to think that you will drink 2 oz
of wheatgrass three times a day, but is this really sustainable for you? Or are you committed to drink 2 oz of
wheatgrass once per day? The outcome is to set a standard that’s high enough that you will fulfill your vision
and goals but one that is also very achievable for you.

On the following pages is an example of the beginning of a life plan that Tony and Sage Robbins created
in the area of their health. Then, you will find some blank forms for you to create your own life plan for your
health, since this area has been such a strong focus this week. As you do this, keep yourself in check. Are
you setting a high enough standard for yourself? At the same time, are you allowing enough flexibility to
ensure that you really follow through?

As you create your Life Plan, remember everyone is different. Mastery is about taking 100% responsibility
for your health: planning ahead, preparing your own food, scheduling time for exercise and self-care, and
managing the overall business of your body.

One Final Hint

Utilize your 7th Power: If you are in a relationship with someone who will be affected
by your life plan (i.e., a spouse who is a heavy meat-eater or who loves sweets),
be sure to include them in the process.

What’s talked about is a dream, What’s envisioned is exciting,


What’s planned becomes possible, What’s scheduled is real.

LIFE MASTERY
GOAL SETTING
Making the Invisible Visible—Your Treasure Map for Fulfillment
For centuries, people have pursued the belief that whatever it is we think about with positive intent, we
can create. In the 19th century, James Allen wrote As a Man Thinketh based on the premise that what
we think about we become, in every context of our lives. In 1966, Napoleon Hill wrote the groundbreaking
book, Think and Grow Rich, about the power of defining precisely what it is you want, determining what
you will give back in return, establishing a specific timeline by which you will achieve your goal, creating
a plan for achieving it, and continually reinforcing in your conscious and subconscious mind the idea that
you will achieve it.

There is no question that when you resolve to attain something (whether it is something you want to
do, have, be, create, or give), there is incredible momentum and power created that moves you toward
manifesting whatever it is you want in your life. In fact, there are thousands of documented cases of
people achieving their exact goals in the exact timeline to which they commit.

The Power of a Clear Outcome

Yale University took a poll of each student graduating from the Class of 1953 and asked them who
had done full goal setting (what they were going to do) and had written it down by graduation.
Only 3% of the class answered that they had done goal setting. Twenty years later, the 3% that had
written down their goals before graduating from Yale had earned 50% of the entire income of all
of the rest of the class combined.

There are no guarantees in life, yet, when the power of this process is so clearly understood, pursued, and
documented, why wouldn’t you utilize it to maximize your power? The process on the following pages is
designed to help you establish what it is you want in each main area of your life.

Once you have identified what you want, remember that one of the most powerful ways to ensure that
you achieve those goals is to keep them in front of you: Whatever you think about continuously tends to
become real. Your Reticular Activating System or RAS has four sections, two of which mediate sensations
that give pleasure and enable learning and memory. Simply put, your RAS is part of your unconscious mind
that is constantly working to pick up signals from you—what you see or focus on—in order to keep track of
your likes and dislikes. If you can incorporate your goals into your RAS through consistent focus, then your
unconscious mind will take over finding items that relate to or will help you accomplish your goals.

How can you incorporate your goals into your unconscious mind? Make them more exciting—something
you want to see in front of you every day! Once you complete the exercises on the following pages, bring
your goals to life by creating your own personal treasure map. Cut out pictures, words, and phrases that
relate to or reflect your goals and glue them on a sheet of paper. You can create a treasure map for your
entire life or a separate one for each main area of your life. Then, when you are done, you may want to
laminate your treasure map(s) so that they will be durable and able to travel with you wherever you go.

LIFE MASTERY

EXERCISE: THE POWER OF CERTAINTY


Take a few moments and write down some items that were once merely desires, dreams, or goals
1 you have already attained. Be sure to include big and little items—ones that you may now take for
granted—your job, your relationship, your home, an instrument, a computer, etc. Asterisk 2–3 items
that at one time truly seemed impossible to achieve.

2 Now, take one of your asterisked items and write down the steps you took to turn it from a dream into
reality. You may not have achieved it consciously, but something stimulated enough of a desire for
you to reach that goal. Was there a condition in your life—poor health, job loss, etc.—that forced you
to create an outcome you had to meet? Was there a purpose or a reason that made you focus on that
goal continuously? After writing as much as you can remember, review what you’ve written to see if
you can identify the specific steps you took.

LIFE MASTERY
CLEANSING
What is a cleanse?
The evolution of modern society has resulted in an overload of chemicals, toxins, air pollutants, and radiation. In
addition, by eating certain foods, we expose ourselves to processed and de-mineralized materials, herbicides,
pesticides, food colorings, and preservatives.

All of these toxins put stress on our bodies. When the body is clean and strong, it has no trouble eliminating
the waste. However, when it becomes overloaded with more toxins than it can properly eliminate, the liver will
eventually become sluggish and allow the waste to build up. In this state, one cannot properly absorb vitamins,
nutrients, and health supplements. Furthermore, the contamination and malnutrition that result make the
body more susceptible to disease. In fact, a continuous overload of toxins into the body could trigger serious
ailments, and if a system becomes so contaminated that it cannot get rid of the excess toxins, chronic illness or
even death could result.

What is a cleanse?
Cleansing is the detoxification of the digestive tract, blood, intestines, kidneys, liver, and lungs.

Should you be cleansing?

SIGNS

• You have been working very hard or have been under a lot of stress.
• You eat sugar or white flour and/or drink a lot of caffeine or alcohol.
• Your eyes are not clear and/or they are yellowish or red.
• You took a pH test and tested acidic.
• You feel a cold or flu coming on.
• You feel congested from too much food or the wrong kinds of food.
• You feel lethargic, like you need a good spring cleaning.
• You need to eliminate drug residues or normalize after an illness or a hospital stay.
• You need a jump start for a healing program.
• You need a specific detox program for a serious health problem.
• You want to streamline your body processes for more energy.
• You need to remove toxins that are causing a health problem.
• You want to prevent disease and/or rest and rejuvenate the whole body.
• You want to assist with weight loss and/or want to clear up your skin.
• You want to slow aging and improve body flexibility.
• You want to improve fertility.
• You want greater mental clarity.
• You need better quality of sleep.
• You desire freedom from negative thoughts and feelings.
• You need to improve your circulation.

LIFE MASTERY
CLEANSING
What is a cleanse?
How does the body eliminate waste and what happens when toxins build up?
Toxins first build up in the bowel as a result of stress or consuming too many acidic foods, such as sugar, white
flour, caffeine, and alcohol. When the bowel becomes out of balance, it attempts to protect itself by secreting
a glycoprotein substance that lines the entire intestinal wall. This is known as mucoid plaque (see picture below).
This substance is what makes it harder for the body to absorb vitamins and nutrients, which could result in
chronic malnutrition.

When the bowel becomes toxic, it contaminates the blood, which, in turn,
spreads the toxins to the heart, lungs, brain, muscles, etc. as it is delivering
nutrients throughout the body. In the end, the liver is left to deal with the
toxic blood, and after years of relentless toxicity, it will become sluggish
until it will no longer function. At this point, the toxins will begin to collect in
other parts of the body. Disease will manifest wherever they settle. Overall,
cleansing allows you to remove accumulated mucoid plaque in order to
rebuild your bowel and your liver and protect yourself from disease.

How often should I cleanse?


Everyone is different and generally once or twice a year can have great benefits.

How long should I cleanse?


Cleanses last anywhere from 24 hours to 10 days. A 24-hour cleanse can be a good way to deter oncoming
cold and/or flu symptoms. A general cleanse usually lasts 3-7 days. It removes excess amounts of mucous,
old fecal matter, trapped cellular and non-food wastes, and inorganic mineral deposits. It also purifies your liver,
kidneys, and blood; enhances mental clarity; increases energy; relieves the body of dependency on habit-
forming substances; and reduces your stomach to its normal size, contributing to weight loss. Finally, a deep
cleanse lasts for up to 10 days and can help to fight a chronic illness or disease.

LIFE MASTERY
CLEANSING: TO AMPLIFY A FULL BODY
CLEANSING EXPERIENCE
1. Prepare
Three to five days before the cleanse, decide what kind of cleanse you need. Decide how much time
you can realistically devote to a focused cleansing program. Set aside the day(s) ahead of time so
that you can prepare both your mind and body for the experience. In order to maximize the effect
of the cleanse, you should attempt to alkalize your body as much as possible before beginning,
especially if you have a low pH level to start with.

2. Take a detoxification bath


The skin is the largest cleansing organ. It eliminates more waste than the colon and kidneys combined.
Every two days during your cleanse, soak with 1-2 cups of Epsom salt, mineral salts, or sea salts for
15-20 minutes. Epsom salt draws lactic acid out of the muscle and the sulfur components aid in
detoxifying by drawing the acid and toxins out.

3. Steam/infared sauna
30-40 minutes in a sauna stimulates therapeutic sweating and allows the skin to act as a third kidney.

4. Dry brushing
The lymphatic system carries nutrients to and from the cells and helps eliminate acids from the cell.
Essentially, it is a garbage dump for toxins, acids, and dead cells. Dry brushing accentuates this
process and is especially effective after a bath or sauna session. Brush your skin using small
circular strokes starting from your body at the extremities and working your way towards the heart.
You can find a dry bristle brush at any health food store.

5. Acupuncture or acupressure
This will help to relieve headaches and other discomfort that may occur while cleansing.

6. Breathe properly
Proper diaphragmic breathing will accelerate removal of your physical and emotional waste by reducing
anxiety and aiding in the removal of carbon dioxide waste from your respiratory system. Try the Wim
Hof method which involves brief periods of hyperventilation followed by brief periods of breath holding,
or breath retention. Slowly fill your lungs with air and exhale fully, making each breath deeper than the
last. Do this 30 times. Then, after the last exhale, refrain from inhaling. With this method, you might be
able to go anywhere from 1-3 minutes without feeling the need to inhale. In addition, practicing yoga is
a good way to develop good breathing habits.

Spine twists stimulate and cleanse the colon, liver, gall bladder, spleen, and pancreas, and back bends
are great liver detoxifiers. Doing your Egoscue menu will support you in your cleanse.

LIFE MASTERY
CLEANSING: 7 STEPS TO COMPLETE
YOUR CLEANSE
Once you have completed your cleanse, your liver, bowel, and body systems can begin working properly.
More importantly, you will want to continue to create a lifestyle of vibrant health and energy. In order to
maximize the benefits of the cleanse, it’s important that you continue to regenerate and revitalize your
system in order to rebuild healthy tissue and restore energy. Remember, as important as the cleanse itself
is how you come off it and instituting the daily practices that support your overall health.
1. Breathe
Remember to stop three times a day and practice your Wim Hof breathing: Slowly fill your lungs with
air and exhale fully, making each breath deeper than the last. Do this 30 times. Then, after the last
exhale, refrain from inhaling. With this method, you might be able to go anywhere from 1-3 minutes
without feeling the need to inhale.

2. Continue to super-hydrate your body


This is something you want to do not only for the next few days, but forever! This is the most important
habit you can develop to keep your body alkaline vs. acidic. Each day you should drink half your body
weight in ounces (i.e., if you weigh 150 lbs, you should drink 75 ounces of water per day).

3. Eat lightly and as always, make sure that at least 70% of your diet consists of high-water
content, live, alkalizing foods
Because the body tends to resist sudden changes, ease off the cleanse slowly with high water-
content vegetables. Ideally, eat raw foods for the same number of days on the cleanse (or 1/2 the
days on the cleanse at a minimum). Then, continue to eat a lot of vegetable soups, fresh vegetables,
salads and other alkaline foods (organic is best). This is particularly important for the first week or so.
Don’t go off and suddenly eat a big piece of meat in the first couple of days or you may put yourself
into a deep healing crisis. Also, wheatgrass juice is a great supplement to add to your daily routine.

4. Take care of your emotional state


Rather than jumping back into a stressful life and trying to make up for the time that you’ve given
yourself this week, make sure that you continue to devote at least an hour a day to your emotional and
physical well being. The best time to do your “Hour of Power” is in the morning. Go for a brisk walk
or run and use this time to listen to audio tapes or music that stimulates you, do your incantations, etc.

5. Re-introduce exercise to reignite your metabolism


During the cleanse, you likely were not as active as you are in your daily life. And, because your body
shifted modes—from metabolizing the foods you normally eat to focusing on cleansing your blood, lymph
and organs—it’s important that as soon as you reintroduce foods that you also begin to exercise (walk,
run, bike, swim—whatever you enjoy) so that your metabolism returns to its optimum level.

6. Consistently saturate yourself with information that empowers you


Eating a successful, healthy, live-food, organic, plant-based diet depends on your ability to continually
educate yourself on the subject. Saturate yourself in the information until it becomes habit for you.

7. Continue to take your vitamins and supplements so that you get all of the nutrients you need

COLON CLEANSING
FAQ
What will it feel like?
A Colon Hydrotherapy session is generally a comfortable, relaxing experience and leaves you feeling
refreshed, with improved mental clarity and more energy. Generally, a treatment is just like having a
bowel movement but more effective and generally easier. Occasionally during the session, you may
experience ‘diarrhea feeling’ contractions of cramping or gas in your abdomen or you may feel a
slight pressure in the rectum like just before having a bowel movement. As you push the water and
waste out, this feeling passes.
Your therapist can teach you how to self-massage your abdominal area which may help reduce any
uncomfortable symptoms. They will also coach you on how to take the water in to your colon and
gently release the water to make the session as comfortable as possible.
Will the procedure hurt?
No, the Colon Hydrotherapy session should NOT be painful or hurt. The experience differs by client
and is influenced by the diet and health of the client. One consistent report from clients is that after
the initial session the subsequent sessions are more comfortable, pleasant, easy and even quite
enjoyable.
Will an enema or taking a laxative accomplish the same result?
No, an enema will only cleanse the very lower rectal and sigmoid part of the colon. Repetitive use of
all laxatives may lead to irritation, weakening of the colon and can also become habit forming.
Will one Colon Hydrotherapy session empty my colon?
Your colon is approximately as long as you are tall, so there is a large area to cleanse. You can’t
cleanse the entire colon during one session, therefore people normally do a series of Colon
Hydrotherapy sessions to thoroughly hydrate, cleanse and create an improved environment within
the colon. Your therapist will help you design a personal colon cleanse that compliments your health
goals.
Is Colon Hydrotherapy healthy and what impact will it have on digestive challenges?
Colon Hydrotherapy is not a cure-all. It is known to be a valuable procedure to assist the body with
a wide variety of symptoms to restoring vibrant health and preventing disease. Colon Hydrotherapy
may help the following symptoms such as low immunity, colon related conditions such as IBS and
constipation, healing of skin conditions such as acne and sores, relief from headaches, fatigue and
swelling by improved lymphatic system function. Colon Hydrotherapy aids in assisting the colon to
eliminate more efficiently, relieving any toxic burden on other organs and channels of elimination such
as the liver and lymphatic system. The colon then functions more efficiently in eliminating waste and
absorbing nutrients.
Do I have to prepare before my Colon Hydrotherapy session?
No, you can have a Colon Hydrotherapy session without any preparation. Try not to eat any heavy
foods 2 hours before your treatment as this may allow for an easier and more comfortable treatment.
Eat light meals such as steamed vegetables, soup, smoothie, veggie juice and salad options. A few

FAQ
days prior to your treatment you may also like to minimize caffeine, alcohol, sugar, meat, bread, soft
drinks, heavy and processed foods. This will assist the body with beginning to detox prior to your
session. Keep hydrated by drinking 1-2 liters/34-36 ounces of water before your treatment. Herbal
teas count for your fluid intake.
How will I feel after the session?
After the Colon Hydrotherapy session, you normally feel light in your abdomen, with improved mental
clarity and energy.
Will the Colon Hydrotherapy session wash out all the beneficial bacteria?
No, this is a myth. Approximately 70% of a bowel movement is bacteria so it is a natural cycle of
releasing. If the colon is toxic and not functioning optimally it is likely that it is home to more non-
beneficial bacteria than beneficial bacteria. By cleansing the colon, old stuck fecal matter, mucous,
toxins, gas, parasites, nonbeneficial bacteria are washed out of the body. Some beneficial bacteria
are also likely to be released from the body with all the waste. Once all the old toxic material and
congestion is cleared this creates an improved environment for the beneficial bacteria to flourish.
We provide a probiotic supplement after the treatment and encourage clients to continue consuming
probiotics, prebiotics and cultured foods to support the re-inoculation of beneficial bacteria. Many
people are killing off their beneficial bacteria from their lifestyle of unhealthy food choices, medication,
antibiotics, stress and alcohol for example, and don’t consider that lifestyle has an impact on their
beneficial bacteria balance.
Can I have a Colon Hydrotherapy session during my menstrual cycle?
Yes. This is actually a great time for a session as your body is already naturally detoxing through your
monthly cycle. At this time, you may be feeling tired, bloated, cramping or irritable, therefore it has
been reported many times that a Colon Hydrotherapy session during this time may help reduce these
symptoms.
Will Colon Hydrotherapy make my bowel lazy?
No. Colon Hydrotherapy may improve the colon muscle tone and peristalsis movement through
exercise because you are gently pushing the water and waste out during the session. Many people
that are challenged with slow transit time and irregular bowel movements have stated that over time
colon hydrotherapy has improved their natural bowel movements.
Do I need a Colon Hydrotherapy treatment if I have a bowel movement naturally each day or have
a clean diet?
Yes. Everybody can benefit from Colon Hydrotherapy. Even if your bowel movements are well-formed,
once per day with ease, your body can accumulate toxins, chemicals and heavy metals from the
environments we live in or just from the biological process of living. During a session you release a
lot more matter than a normal bowel movement which may also stimulate other detoxification organs
such as your liver and lymphatic system to detox more effectively.

COLON CLEANSING
FAQ
Will I need to rush to the toilet for the rest of the day?
No. Occasionally after a treatment you may need to use the toilet if there was any residual water or
waste to be released.
How do you know when I am totally clean?
You will never be totally clean as your body is constantly processing. The focus is about creating
an improved functionality and environment within your colon. This will have a secondary effect of
supporting and enhancing your bodies overall function.
How many sessions will I need?
This will be designed by your therapist as everyone is different. The amount of sessions would be
determined by the health of the colon initially and the client’s overall health goals. If you have never
had a Colon Hydrotherapy session before then usually it is recommended to start with a series of 3 to
6 sessions.
During a cleanse it is general beneficial to do a treatment every day or every other day as this will
keep your bowel active to support and enhance your cleanse. After your initial series of Colon
Hydrotherapy sessions, clients may choose to have a monthly maintenance session or if you prefer
to wait 3 to 4 months, then a series of sessions close together would be recommended. Your Colon
Hydrotherapist can advise you further on what is recommended for you.

Contrary to your fears...


Colon hydrotherapy, or colonics, aren’t as bad as you might conjure up in your mind.
Here’s a list of what you will (or better yet, won’t) experience...
No smell.
No muss, no fuss.
Good, clean relaxation.

LIFE MASTERY
“LIBBE” DEVICE
There are a couple of different ways to perform a colonic—a “LIBBE” bed and a colema board. We’ll
start with the libbe and get to the colema board on the next page.
Description
“LIBBE” stands for Lower Intestine Bottom Bowel Evacuation.
Equipment
The “LIBBE” bed consists of a one-piece fiberglass “base” or table with a cushioned area and a
headrest for you to lie on and a large drain at the opposite end. The water used in this process passes
through a carbon filter to remove rust, sediment, and chlorine before being purified by an ultraviolet-ozone
water purification unit. Plus, and this might be the best part of all, the “LIBBE” uses an odor exhaust
system to ensure an oder-free environment.
Environment
You’ll probably find the “LIBBE” used most often in an office setting by professionally certified
colonhydrotherapists.
Process
You will begin your session by undressing from, obviously, the waist down. Don’t worry—you’ll get
some coverage when the process begins. You then lay down on the bed and insert the disposable
rectal tube about 2 inches into your rectum. The gravity fed water, which is temperature controlled,
flows into your system at a speed that you control. The rectal tube may shift to one side as softened
feces begins to flow out of your rectum. You can watch “the flow show” through a clear tube to the
side of the “LIBBE” bed to see all of the nasty things you’re ridding your body of. The therapist will
monitor your progress and help if needed, but the majority of the tools that accompany the “LIBBE”
can be client manipulated, which goes a long way in ensuring your privacy.
A normal “LIBBE” session lasts about 45 minutes to an hour and should be as relaxing as it is
cleansing.

LIFE MASTERY
COLEMA BOARD
You have learned not only about colon hydrotherapy and how it works, but also one of the procedures for
getting the job done—the “LIBBE”. Now let’s move on to the second procedure, the colema board.

Description
The colema board is, just as it states, a board that enables you to do at-home enemas or colon hydrotherapies.

Equipment
The colema board requires assembly and comes to you with the following parts: disposable rectal tubing, a
syringe, instructions, and, depending on the distributor or the model, an instructional video and comfort pad.
Some other items you’ll need to have on hand include a 5-gallon bucket, a comfort pad of your own or a lot of
towels, a lubricant, a chair to support the end of the board that is not on the toilet, a pillow on which to lay your
head, and a purified water solution.

Environment
Though you don’t have a certified colon hydrotherapist at your disposal with the colema board, you do have
the luxury of performing this function in the privacy of your own home and without making an appointment.

Process
You will begin your session by setting up your system in your bathroom.
Step 1: Assemble your colema board and place one end on the toilet and the “head end” on your chair
Arrange your comfort pad or towels and your pillow on the colema board.
Step 2: Fill your 5-gallon bucket with purified, room temperature water. Purified water ensures that little to
no chlorine or microscopic organisms will be absorbed into the body. To your water you can add
one (and only one) of the following ingredients: coffee, lemon juice, epsom salts, garlic, or bentonite.
Each ingredient offers its own benefit from stimulating the liver (coffee) to killing unfavorable bacteria
in the colon (bentonite).
Step 3: Place an old—never to be used again—colander in the toilet. This strainer will catch the putrid fecal
matter that your colon has been offering safe harbor to all these years.
Step 4: Place the bucket of your purified water solution 2 feet above your body. Be aware that lowering or
raising the height of the bucket will determine the speed at which the water flows into your body. In
order to get suction in the plastic tubing connecting you to the bucket, you should fill the hose with
water and then let some of it out. Clamp one end of the hose to the bucket.
Step 5: Lubricate the rectal tip and insert it into your rectum. (At this point, you will, of course, be undressed!
No need to worry about coverage with this process, you’re in the privacy of your own home!)
Step 6: If after allowing the water to begin flowing, you feel “pressure,” like you might be holding too much
water, let go. The water will pour directly into the toilet. The more experienced you become with
home colonics, the better you will know how much water you can accommodate.
Step 7: Massage your colon throughout the process.
Step 8: Begin this cleansing process only if you can do it continuously over the course of a month.
Don’t start and stop, start and stop.
Step 9: Clean and sanitize all of your equipment immediately after each use!

ENEMA & IMPLANT INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: While different equipment might have slight variations, the instructions below will help you
complete your enemas and implants effectively.
1. Assemble Materials
• Attach the plastic tube to the bottom of the enema bucket.
• Secure the colon tube to the end of the plastic tube.
• Hang the enema bucket from a towel rack using a metal clip.
• Clip off the plastic tube.
• Set up a mat, some lubricant, a syringe and a nipple (optional).

2. Prepare Your Implants (e.g., wheatgrass juice)


• Either juice or secure about 2 ounces of wheatgrass juice (or prepare your other implant ingredients such as
acidophilus, etc.) and place in a glass.
• If using wheatgrass juice, strain your wheatgrass juice to take away the foam.

3. Fill the Bucket with Water


• Pour warm water into the enema bucket.
• Option: If not using a pure source of water, add a teaspoon of wheatgrass juice to purify the water.

4. Air Out the Tube


• Hold the end of the colon tube next to your bucket above water level.
• Unclip the plastic tube and lower the end of the colon tube.
• When you reach water level, you should notice some water coming out of the tube.
• To ensure everything is working properly, raise the colon tube above water level to ensure the water flow stops. Then,
lower the tube to ensure that the water flow starts again. Water coming out of the end of the colon tube means that the
tube contains no air.
• Reclip the plastic tube.

5. Take the Enema


• Choose a comfortable position (side, back, or on knees).
• Lubricate the end of the colon tube for insertion into the rectum. (Note: Only insert the colon tube a few inches into the
rectum.)
• Unclip the tube once it is inserted into the rectum to allow the water to flow from the bucket into your colon. (Note: It’s
okay if you cannot take the whole bucket of water at one time. If this is the case, take as much as you can and repeat
this step until you have taken the whole bucket of water.)
• Clip off the tube and massage your colon (from left to right) to push the water toward the end of the colon.
• Expel the water.

6. Take the Implant


(Note: If you choose to do a second implant, wait an hour before repeating the process.)
• Take the syringe and press the air out by pushing the bulb.
• Draw some wheatgrass juice (or whatever you are using for the implant) out of your glass.
• Hold the end of the colon tube over the tip of the syringe.
• Empty a few drops of juice out of the syringe by squeezing it.
• Insert the remaining end of the colon tube into the rectum. (Hold the colon tube and syringe together tightly!)
• Allow the wheatgrass juice go through the colon tube.

7. Holding/Releasing the Implant


• Put feet against the wall and raise the pelvis.
• Massage colon in a circular motion (up, right, down, left).
• Hold butt cheeks together. After a few minutes (between 10 to 20), release the implant.
• While walking, massage colon in the opposite direction.
• Thoroughly clean all of your equipment.
