How a Physical Detox Helps Spiritual Development

When detoxing, its easy to see why you might need to do it for physical health. Toxins inhibit the bodies many functions and places a load on filtering organs and systems used to remove those toxins. They can impact hormonal balance, affect organ function, and severely inhibit the immune system which further stresses the system with disease. Physical distress in the form of toxicity and disease can also have an emotional effect too. Toxicity can quickly become a downward spiral.

There is a direct link between your mind and body. When you think stressful thoughts, your body become stressed. Your breath becomes shallow and short and you experience things like higher blood pressure and tightness in your chest. On the other hand, if you realized you were in a stressed state and began to breath deep slow breaths (filling your lungs and belly), you could effectively calm yourself by purely physical means. On effects the other and vise-versa.

In many spiritual traditions they talk about what is commonly refereed to the subtle bodies. In the Law of One channelings, Ra mentions that there are in fact 7 bodies, each linked with each one of the 7 chakra's and each having a different function and relationship within what they call the Mind/Body/Spirit (basically your current incarnation) complex. An imbalance in either the mind, body or soul will affect the others.

As an example lets take the Heart. The Heart is the organ linked to the 3rd chakra which is also called the Green Ray in the LoO (Law of One). An imbalance in any of the three areas, Mind, Body or Spirit, will cause imbalance in the other related areas. So for instance, if some one is thinking unloving thoughts, their hearts will suffer. Many heart patients have issues with unresolved anger or rage. Since we are in 3rd density, we do not have a lot of direct access to the spiritual, so it is sometimes easier to work from the physical or mental side where we have more control.

Detoxing allows us to keep the body in balance, thus helping to balance the other systems as well. As you begin to physically detox, your emotional problems may come up to help with the spiritual detoxing as well so keep this in mind. When all these systems are in perfect balance you have a human being who are commonly refereed to as Ascended Masters, Jesus and Buddah are some of them. The more in balance you are, the higher the vibration you can maintain.

Detoxing the Body Part 3

External Cleanse 

When doing an external cleanse it best to combine it with the internal cleanse as well. This will facilitate the eliminations of toxins in the body just that much faster. There are a few things to note however when doing any sort of cleanse.

Any cleanse may create a set of symptoms in the body known as a Healing Crisis. This is simply the body reacting to the toxins being released and will pass after a few days. They can include nausea, dizziness, loss of coordination, and general weakness. Consuming fermented foods such as Kumbucha and Kimchi will help moderate these effects..

 

Sweat it out!

Sweating has been a tried and true method of external detox and there are several ways this can be done.

Saunas are great ways to sweat. You'll want to observe all safety precautions when using a sauna such as monitoring the elapsed time and drinking plenty of water before, during and after the sauna. The goal here is just to get a good sweat session going for 30 to 45 minuets.

Exercise is another great way to work up a sweat. Just use some moderate work out to get yourself sweating pretty good for 30 to 45 minuets. If you already have a decent workout schedule that meets this then there is no reason for you to include another session just to sweat, your already doing it.

Sweating will also help moderate or eliminate a Healing Crisis. Toxins released from cells are floating in the bloodstream and the body cannot remove them fast enough. Sweating will give the toxins another path out of the body.

Bentonite Clay Baths

Bentonite clay offers one of the best chelating solutions out there. Using 1 to 2 cups of Calcium Bentonite Clay mixed in with your bath water once or twice a week will help pull toxins out of the skin and pores. Keep the water warm but not hot and try to keep these baths under 10 mins or so at the begining but you can go longer when your system gets used to it.

The DIY Detox Bath

This was taken from Natural News
Add one cup of natural unprocessed sea salt to a bowl. You can use your favorite brand or choose several for a good mix of minerals. Add to that one cup of Epsom salts and two cups of aluminum-free baking soda to that.

After that you can add two or three tablespoons of glycerin and a few drops of your favorite essential oil.

After its all well mixed, seal it in an air tight container and label it. When taking a bath, mix a 1/4 cup of the mixture in with your bath water. As with the bentonite clay, take about 10 minuets your first few times and extend that when your body gets used to the effects

Detox The Body for Better Health and Spiritual Connection Pt 2

Detox for Better Health and Spiritual Connection Part 2

Internal detox

An internal detox regiment will consist of a few things. First  you'll want to clear your gut and restore good flora. Second you'll want to support your liver in it's function and assist it in eliminating toxins as well. Doing these two things will help the body to begin healing and begin the path to vibrant health.

Colon Cleanse

Colon cleansing, the unfortunate taboo of the detox world. There are several things your bowel is actualy used for.

• Digesting Food
• Housing beneficial bacteria
• Extracting Water
• Elimination

You eat the food, you digest it with enzymes and acids, then beneficial bacteria get into the job, and then finally the water is extracted and whats left gets passed out of the body. The wrong types of food can cause adhesions or mucus to build up along the intestinal wall. This blocks nutrients as well as gives a place for food to petrify and could potentially become another source of toxins for the body.

There are several colon cleanses available either commercially or even DIY guides available on-line. They usually involve some sort of fiber agent to help move things along, as well as laxatives or even things to kill off nasty parasites and non-beneficial bacteria and fungus.

One of the best colon cleanses I have found is Bentonite Clay. This natural clay is absorbent and adsorbent, meaning not only does it suck bad stuff in, it also sticks to bad stuff. I typically drink about 2 tablespoons of this a day mixed in with about 8-12 oz of water. Calcium Bentonite Clay is the best choice for this and there are guides to choosing the best one for internal cleansing on the net. I noticed that after drinking this for a few weeks, my bowel habits became extremely regular, half an hour after eating anything I had to go. It just means that things are running quite smoothly.

Liver Cleanse

You can help the liver do its job several ways, and supporting it will help the body rid itself of toxins even faster. Eating certain Cruciferious vegetables like Cauliflower, brussel sprouts, broccoli and cabbage can help the liver detox. Supporting it with a good antioxidant like Vitamin C and herbal supplements like Milk Thistle, further assist the liver in its role.

The ultimate liver cleanse however is the one known as the Coffee Enema. This creates a condition where the liver function is greatly increased for a while. There is a lot of good information on liver cleanses in the following videos and websites

 Just be sure to check on how this is done so that you understand the basics of it This is a enema, which means it goes into your backside and it is not a High colonic, it is only meant to be used in the very end of the colon. Too high and it just becomes a nice cup of coffee going the wrong way, which won't have the cleansing effect.

Check back as I get to the External Cleanse in the next post!

Detox The Body For Better Health and Spiritual Connection

Detox Part 1

So, in a previous post I mentioned how I had used a DIY Detox Bath I found on Natural News to help detox my body. I wanted to go over the basics of what Detoxing is and how to use it too help detox your body from the outside and inside.

Environmental toxins

Your skin is the largest organ on your body. It covers 100% of you and is basically your shield between you and the rest of the world. That being said it is also permeable and does allow for toxins to be transported into your body as well. These can include chemicals in health and beauty products, chemicals in municipal water sources (basically your tap water) and a myriad of other things that come in contact with your skin.

This combined with things like drugs, GMO's, food additives, air pollution etc, they have a cumulitive effect on your body. Primarily, your main source of filtering these toxins out of the body and passing them along is the liver. This wonderful organ does such a great job that unless we really abuse it, it tends to hold up rather well under this onslaught and keeps us upright for the most part. But again, these toxins are accumulitive, basically over time they can begin to overwhelm the body and the liver begins to fall behind. Once toxiciity becomes rampant, sickness begins to creep in.

Now let me make this absolutely clear, if you are experiencing anything other than PERFECT ABUNDANT HEALTH, your more than likely suffering from some sort of toxic overload. Time to detox.

Paths to Detox

Now, there are several ways to detox, but for this first post I'm just going to cover the basic modalities of how to detox the body.

Internal
The liver is a great organ, when it's doing it's job normally and there aren't an overabundance of toxins coming in, it can usually deal with the load and help cleanse the system. There are things you can do however to help it along. A good internal cleanse will help support the liver in it's function.

The other large organ that needs a decent detox or cleanse is the gastric system, comprised of your stomach, small and large intestine. Deposits of sticky leftover food can adhere to the intestinal wall, otherwise known as adhesion. These block nutrition from being properly absorbed as well as store toxins in the body and even give bad bacteria and fungus a place to grow, such as Candida. Cleaning this out will help with intestinal issues, and overall health.

External 
As we said, the skin is the largest organ in the body. It has the largest surface area of almost any organ and it is totally accessible. The method of detoxing using the skin is probably the most powerful as it will allow you to detox the entire body quickly and easily. Using this while supporting the internal methods of detox will ensure your detox is the most effective it can be.

Check back later as I explore each of the areas to detox and the methods used to do it.

Learning To Be At Peace With Everything

So far this week...

I started the week off pretty strong, went to work as usual and everything seemed to be going fine. The night previous I had an issue with my left ear getting water stuck in it. This was after I used a Detox Bath that I read about it here on Natural News. To make a long story short, I had caused myself an ear infecting trying to clear an obstruction and spent the next 3 days recovering on antibiotics and pain killers.

I don't like taking drugs if I can help it. So know I know that I'll have to rebuild the flora in my gut and take time to detox my liver. It's important to understand what impact different environmental toxins have on your body and do the best you can to care for it.

The infection put me down with pain and swelling for three days in total. My jaw was misaligned due to swelling near my ear so I couldn't chew properly. This was unpleasant and I attempted to keep positive as much as possible but the best that I could do was simply remind myself that 'this too shall pass'. Everything, even suffering, is temporary.

When I returned to work on Friday I found out I had just been released from my contract for hire (I won't say fired, it has too many negative connotations). This was due to an outstanding issue that kept coming up at work that I wasn't able to resolve. Truthfully I wasn't really  happy there, too many things created struggle and discordant emotions. I'm moving on the best I can.

How to get peace in stressful situations.

So now what? I'm without a job, health insurance, etc. Living in California does not bode well for the financial future and I have so many things to do and worry about that already I can feel a sense of panic starting in my subtle vibrations.

To get peaceful there are several things you can do.

Change your focus
Its easy to focus on whats not working, what isn't happening and what might happen. Change your focus to better feeling thoughts and emotions. Play around with your thoughts and find which ones lighten and elivate you, these are the ones you'll want to focus on.

For example, I have a sense of I don't know what to do. That is a scary and negative thought, however a thought similar to it is that I  know I will figure it out. While I may not know what is going to happen, I know that I am a capable and intelligent person. I also just happen to have the most amazing support.

Meditate
Meditation is a way of connecting with your higher self, God, the Universal mind, what every  you call your Higher Power. Mediation clears the mind and allows for subtle energies to begin flowing through your body, they contain information that helps reorganize your energy to be more harmonious. Making mediation a part of your daily routine is important in maintaining a peaceful outlook.

Prayer
Prayer helps as well, relying on your other sources for support is important. Its important to know how to pray properly as well. You can look up Affirmative, or Scientific prayer on line to get a better sense of how this can be done. I'll get into this a bit more later, but the basics of it is not to pray from a sense of Want , but from a sense of Have.

Avoid Negativity
Its easy to get overwhelmed with the media, the state that the world appears to be in and everything else out there. I'm an avid video watcher and most of it is user submitted videos. These can often be about violence and deeply negative situations. If you find yourself unable to avoid negativity, then try to balance it out with something positive. Ultimately your goal is to stay in as high a vibration as possible. Read or watch inspiring videos and articles whenever you can.

These are just a few ways you can get peace in stressful situations. Good luck.

Practical Spirituality, What it's about.

So this is my first post here on Practical Spirituality.

Just some basic info about what this blog is for.

1. Keep people informed
While there are many topics to be informed about, I will be focusing on a few primary things. For one thing, I'm aware that we live in a world were not everything is as it seems. Governments and Media are selling us a line that is definitely not in our highest and greatest good. On the other hand, it is easy to get overwhelmed by conspiracy and doom & gloom type media outlets as well. So I will be attempting to keep you informed of the world's going ons  while also attempting to inspire you as well in the interest of balance.

2. Bring you useful tools and practices.
 There are so many useful tools out there and any of them can be of use. The trick is finding the one's that resonate with you so that you can use them to get to the next level. The trick to knowing why something will work for one person and not work for another is something like this. As an example I remember a movie (Dracula 2000) where a person pulls out a crucifix in front of a vampire, the vampire smirks and coolly replies "Sorry sport, I'm an Atheist". Belief is probably 90% of what determines what will work for you, but more on that later.

I'll be bringing you many techniques so you can try them out for yourself. I have access to all kinds of online programs and webinars that talk about different techniques and methods related to spirituality, healing and personal development. I'm constantly looking for new things to help myself and others.

3. Bring you other things you may be interested in.
As I stated above, there are many things I get  interested in that you may be interested in as well. I'll post interesting articles and links in my  blog from time to time that I think are relevant or helpful. I may also post reviews of books I've read, events I've attended or anything else I determine is relevant to the intent of this blog. Stay tuned!
