Mind, Body and Spirit Detoxification

Society today is congested with many types of toxins or more accurately, poisons. Poisons are accumulated by exposure to chemicals, atomic energy, petrochemical residues, metals, viruses, parasites, worms, infectious bacteria, mold and fungus. These harmful elements exist in air we breathe, the food we eat, the liquids we drink, as well as drugs and alcoholic. Because of the invasive nature of these contaminating toxins, our systems cannot possibly filter it all, the result being illness, fatigue and a loss of overall well being.

MIND Detoxification

Natural detoxification is a way of Cleansing our bodies and maintaining health and longevity. But Cleansing the physical may not be enough unless the source of the poison is first treated. In most cultures there is a distinct understanding about the connection between the organs and the emotions. This belief suggests that the body confesses the emotional poisons (issues) in a physical manifestation of illness. When the following emotions are transmuted into internal issues, or are suppressed, they trigger an illness or disease in the connected organ.

Anger is expressed through the Liver.
Fear is expressed through the Kidneys.
Worry is expressed through the Spleen.
Sadness is expressed through the Lungs.
Lack of Peace is expressed through the Heart.

It is important to avail of resources and supports (this site can definitely be one for you) that can advance your emotional intelligence and assist you in eliminating any internal beliefs or traumas that may ultimately be poisoning you.

BODY Cleansing

As the liver becomes congested, it has difficulty removing toxins which then build up in the body. This congestion can lead to issues with digestion, food sensitivities, fatigue, low-grade depression, as well as many other discomforts. Similar to the liver, the gallbladder can become choked and results in poorly digested food, diminished nourishment, deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, and other health issues. As food moves through our systems through the large and small intestines, food particles and other toxins, parasites and Candida build up inside the intestines. This also causes trouble with the ability to digest food and absorb nutrients from food. Many worms, parasites, viruses, infectious bacteria will live in the intestines and other organs. These organs eventually become narrower, malfunction, and create a variety of serious health issues.

The following detoxification recipes will eliminate the top layer of the toxins of the intestines, but it would take a month to six weeks of colon cleansing to scrape off the cumulated debris and reduce the damage at the cellular level.

SPIRIT Detoxification

In combination with a mind and body detoxification, it is important to consider that in addition to the digestive system, elimination system, and nervous system, also exists within and around us, an energy system. As much as our physical system requires Cleansing, our energy systems can become congested negative influences. Since, the body, mind and spirit are inter-connected, the chemicals, metals and atomic toxins that exist in our physical bodies clutter up the energy systems so that energy cannot move through and around you at the optimum rate.
