The Sol Journal

There is often the belief that the purpose of juice cleansing is to lose weight. While it’s true that most people do shed some weight during a cleanse, that’s not where the true value lies.

Where the journey of weight loss is often seen as deprivation and punishment, at Sol Cleanse we see the juice cleanse journey as an act of self-love and deep self-nourishment – an opportunity to give your beautiful body the chance to rest, repair and regenerate whilst being loaded up with organic nutrition. So, what makes the difference?

It’s simple... it’s all in the intention.

The outcome of any act is a result of the intention – especially in regards to how we feel. If we set a goal from a place of self-loathing – that we’re not good enough and we need “more” or to be “better” – when we achieve that goal it gives us a lot less satisfaction and the happiness is a lot shorter lasting than if we set a goal from a more loving place – already feeling grateful for where we are at and wanting to improve from there, or based on how we want to feel.

Likewise with developing healthier habits and being happier in your body, you could set the goal to lose weight, but the intention could come from several different places. It could come from an energy of self-loathing around not feeling good enough and wanting to fit an image you would like for yourself; or it could be from the energy of self-love, where your motivation is to show kindness to your body to give it this opportunity to feel lighter, brighter and more energetic by cleansing, or to develop healthier habits so you have more energy.

With every juice cleanse from Sol Cleanse we gift people with an intention setting card where we encourage people to set the intention for their cleanse. This sets the energy for your cleanse experience (along with drinking “intentional” elixirs all named after and carrying the energy of beautiful qualities that we wish for you to have in your life like love, peace, strength, courage, radiant, balance, wisdom, joy). Writing out your intention at the beginning of your cleanse helps you stay focused in the more challenging times and it also creates the space for the magic to happen, so you get the most out of your cleanse and come out of it feeling as loving towards yourself as possible.

We see the real benefit in juice cleansing lie in the way you feel after you cleanse, the healthy habits you create and the positive attitude you have towards yourself – which then lead to better choices and feeling even better! Time and time again we hear people tell us how much more energy they have after their cleanse, how they are more naturally inclined to eat healthy food and exercise, how their mindset around cravings have changed, how their relationship to food has changed, and how empowered they feel.

Hearing these stories is so fulfilling to us, as these are the intentions that we imbue our juices with and hold for everyone that embarks on a Sol Cleanse juice cleanse – it is our intention that all our cleansers feel lighter, brighter, more connected to themselves, energised, inspired, and more loving towards themselves.
