Detoxification is an act of courage, love, kindness, and respect for
oneself. The rewards are extraordinary, but so are the challenges.
Understanding from the beginning exactly what is detoxification will
allow you to concentrate, and this concentration will give you the
necessary strength.
Can you identify with any of this?
Constipation, exhaustion, cholesterol, headaches, stomachaches, joint
pain, heartburn, inflammation, gas, nervousness, insomnia, fear, and lack
of mental clarity tell us that our body have too much toxin, that the
normal channels for cleansing are blocked by a buildup of toxin over a
long period of time.
Consuming foods that contain hormones, antibiotics, preservatives, and
processed foods with high levels of sugar, salt, and seasoning, don´t
merely irritate our organs, but also affect our digestion and diminish our
body´s ability to assimilate nutrients.
Detoxification is the grand cleaning of our internal organs, the liver,
kidneys, intestines, colon, and other vital organs. The blood flow, lymph
system, circulatory system, and the cleansing of sick, dead, oxidized cells
are removed as they have remained in our system for too long.
DETOX OF MIND, BODY AND SPIRIT
Detoxification works from the inside out. Eliminating these built up toxins
also allows us to eliminate unhealthy eating habits, old ways of thinking
and relating, freeing us from negative and self destructive thoughts, and
setting aside our stress, anger, hatred, resentment, and old pains.
“Out with the old, in with the new” is the battle cry of detoxification.
“Love, respect, and detoxify yourself and you will reap great rewards.”
Energy, vitality, and a healthy mind, body and spirit … your body will
thank you.
