Ever since the month of August started last week, I have been more aware of a slight change in season, the air feels different and all around us the energy of the land has shifted into a new mode. There also should be a lot taking place within our bodies reflecting these outer movements.
One of the best aspects of the fall and darker seasons that I like is the fact that once your tissues and physical reserves have been built up from the summer abundance of food and sunshine, real healing can take place. Of course each one of us will experience spiritual, emotional and energetic recovery at different times in response to any kind of healthy stimulation such as right diet and exercise.
However, there are places of inflammation buried deep within each one of us that most often never see the light of day, because we do not take the time to cleanse and detox. Or, because for the most part we feel 'fine' as opposed to unwell - we assume that there is no significant amount of inflammation present.
If you have issues with weight gain or loss, if you have had antibiotics in your life, surgery or dental work, if you have taken any form of medication for any length of time or if your iron, hormones, blood pressure, cholesterol or any other bodily function is even slightly off - you have inflammation in your body tissues.
Inflammation is like a bog fire, it burns low and deep, it may stay like this for a very long time, but you never know when or where it will flare up and it is deadly. From my experience these types of low level inflammation are fueled by poor diet, high levels of chronic stress and the presence of yeast and fungus causing the tissues to become acidic. Which ones came first is another matter altogether and there is some argument that we are born with this.
Today, if you want to make some significant changes to your life, start with your body, work on some likely places of inflammation and try to understand why this has persisted. Then take a step towards flushing this out and healing your life.
A Master Cleanse or a detox is always a good place to begin.
