Detox, Colonics, What is Integral Dynamic......

My body is extremely acidic and the terrain is well compromised. 44 years of toxins. Sugar addiction, smoking and diet coke for years, as well as plenty of strong painkillers.
Its going to take time to let go and get rid of all this......and there is no rush. I feel so connected to my body now and listen to what its telling me, I simply follow and it flows. Doing what needs to be done, gently and at the same time firmly, no struggle, no strenuous effort.....with trust, acceptance, gratitude, lightness and love......

Lately, I've been getting most of my nourishment from green juices everyday. 24 oz of cucumber and celery as a base, one tomato, sometimes a red bell pepper or a carrot, one of the three herbs, parsley, coriander or basil, and spinach or kale - twice daily. Lots of green powdered alkaline oxygen rich water. Maybe a superfood green smoothie every other day. My body is asking, loud and clear, for nutrient dense liquids right now......
And these green liquids are stirring up the toxins big time......
For the last few days, on and off, I've had severe headaches, intense pains in the joints and muscles, vaginal yeast, sore tongue, the sciatica has flared up again. I haven't been able to do my usual rebounding or surya namaskars either.
And this too shall pass.....
I'm not taking any painkillers or medicines at all - I'm taking supplements like MSM, magnesium, enzymes, zinc, B12, triphala. I'm sure they help because it might have been worse otherwise!!
Today is a better day, orienting towards off more than on for all this. I've only got a mild headache and fever......and here I am in the middle of the night writing this post and feeling really good......
In fact, even with the detox pains etc, I've never felt as good as I do now......isn't that amazing?

I can't stop smiling, its all so good :-)

Around the same time that I began to eat raw foods, I met Julia Barnes, who is a naturopath and colon hydrotherapist working at the Galen clinic here in Richmond, where I live. She is an absolute angel and has been my guide and helper on this journey. She has a very wise and intelligent approach towards healing and holds the space at every session with respect, understanding and generosity.....a blessing!
Colonics - ah, what to say!
They have been a huge huge huge help and continue to be so.....I began with one session per week but this week I'm having two, had one on Tuesday and will do another on Saturday, because I need to eliminate the acids that are roaming in my blood stream and causing these detox symptoms.
I went through the first phase of cleansing very well, I think its because of the colonics that my detox symptoms were not as strong the first time round.....because I let go of lots of yeast, bits of mucus plaque and even yellow something from the liver.....but there's more, definitely more.....
And now with the green juices, I've entered a second deeper phase of cleansing.....and I can sense that this is a very important time for my healing.....

The life of a cell is based on what it gets as nourishment and then how easily it can get rid of waste matter. Receiving and then eliminating which basically means letting go of what is not needed.......but its not only about nourishment and letting go on the physical level, its not only about food or drink.
For example :
On the emotional level, its about what kind of feelings we focus on, what kind of emotions and moods we cultivate and nourish ourselves with.....and then how easy is it for us to let go of feelings and states which are destrutive more than constructive?
On the mental level, its about what kind of inner dialogue we run in our heads, what do we say to ourselves all day long, what kind of thoughts are floating around and do they nourish us?..... And how attached are we to our concepts, ideas and beliefs instead of letting go of those that don't empower us anymore?
And so on......

To live means to be Dynamic - static is death. And dynamic means constant change, movement, progress......it means energy - energy in action....
To be Integral means to include all levels, all aspects.....it also means essential or fundamental, how apt......it is all about wholeness - wholeness in action.

Two of my favourite words together........Integral dynamic - whole energy in action.......

So, this blog is all about sharing on all levels. I'm going to write about nutrition and living foods regularly, that is a big part of my healing and will continue to be so.......but you can also expect posts on healing and development, learning and change on other levels. From emotional intelligence to witnessing, from a state of being in the flow to being your best.....anything is possible.......and I'm so looking forward to sharing it all with you.....

Almost 3 am now, time to sleep, the fever is playing up and my body is telling me to stop, do some jinshin jyutsu and sleep.......
