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.
