Conscious Living - Getting My Inspiration Back

Day two of my water fast and moving right along here…salt water flush this morning –  but everyone is grumpy today. Usually it takes the first two or three days to adjust into detox mode, and I think that is what we are all doing.

Shifting into detox mode is always the toughest part of any cleanse, it’s as if our bodies need to gear down in some way. That is one aspect of it, then there is our mind, the biggest part of anything we do involves the mind.

Once our mind is on board with something (could be anything from a detox to an essay) then that’s the most difficult part, done. Right now I am feeling so much of a 'pull' back into some dark place inside of my mind and I know exactly what it is.

It feels like old medication – one connection I never made until I was older was how much any form of chemical substance affects our minds. I don’t know about you, but no one ever mentioned this to me when I was a child being given antibiotics.

Did they even know or want to know? Perhaps not…..

However, it is certainly very real and worrisome. Mostly because it is not as acknowledged as it should be - by those pushing these drugs in the first place. These chemical medicines, which are taken all over the world every second of every day by people of all ages – affect our minds in a negative way.

For me I have seen myself and others lose interest in interacting or socializing. I have also known people to lose interest in things they previously loved as well as to start thinking negative or dark thoughts about their daily lives.

All of this can happen (and more) after an encounter with antibiotics. The words I would use to describe how a person might react to having the best bacteria in their guts (and on their skin) die off would be – to feel uninspired.

These days we are working away here on growing back a healthy population of gut bacteria (doubtful we ever had one to begin with) as well as our inspiration, while we detox more and more of any toxic residue left in our bodies from these early years and use of medication.

I can certainly say that in my own personal experience – the after effects of taking medications have been life-long. Until I physically cleansed, detoxed and cleared body tissues, then started methodically re-building my digestive tract – life had not come back.

This is a process and is very much part of walking the spiritual path we are on. You cannot ‘wake up’ and ‘live’ in higher levels of consciousness with parts of you dead or dying. And this means all of you – gut, tissues, organs,  cells, DNA, bacteria and anything in between.

Life and consciousness doesn’t work that way.

Rooting Out Negative Energy

I feel as if I am on the other side of something huge – a part of my attention and focus was being pulled in an unhelpful direction. Over the last few hours I was able to root out the negative energy and now feel back to myself in every way.

It’s funny you know – how easily something can get in (or perhaps it was there all along and it came up to the surface to be released). Even when we feel we are well defended, perhaps we are not.

Whenever there is an open door, unwanted entities can walk straight in. Whenever there is an energy leak or a hole of some kind – we can draw towards us energies or anything else that doesn’t belong.

And what is even more interesting is how – an energy might belong somewhere else and decide to move into a space or place it should not be in. Any open area, vacant lot or emptiness can and will be filled – by something.

If a vacuum is created in some way inside of your body – the natural inclination of the Universe is to fill it. However, the earth is teaming right now with so much and so many (too many open doors) your own body hardly gets a chance to heal naturally or fill in the energy with it’s own self.

So, how did we get so open? For the most part this is very simple – any situation that creates fear (poor diet, medication, antibiotics, poison water, lack of exercise, broken spirit) will cause our energy fields to leak energy.

Any form of toxin (even toxic emotions) can gain a foothold in our bodies, if that doesn’t belong to us, or should not be there, it will cause a slow down in the energy field (an energy block) It also invites other toxins to join it and these toxins gather together to create an acidic environment.

This might then lead to various types of disease states or dysfunction. So why is all of this taking place?

Our bodies are not healing as long as we expect medication to do the work for us. All medication will do is push down the symptoms of a larger problem, which will then re-surface as something else, somewhere else. Unless you start at the beginning, heal your gut (naturally) re-build your immune system and then allow food, clean water and exercise to be your medicine….

Well, the cycle just keeps on going.

August Master Cleanse - Day 1

Even though lots has taken place and I can look back and see that each of these cleanses have taken time, effort and energy - I still can't believe that I am finally starting my August Master Cleanse and in the final leg of the little journey that I committed to in May.

Today, being day one is not usually a difficult day, the hardest days for fasting for me are usually day two and sometimes day three. After that it is often smooth sailing for the ten days, once the initial adjustment period is over and my body slips into 'detox mode'.

For those of you who have been following along, you probably know by now, how curious I am to see what comes up for me this time around. Well things are already happening and I am only on day one! LOL

As if right on cue, a subject that I rarely (if ever) see mentioned anywhere, unless I go looking for it (and I haven't in quite some time) has been brought to my attention. Probably not many of you have heard about this, but there is a drug that was given to pregnant women, back in the 60's and 70's called DES. 

Well, to make a long story short many of these women went on to have daughters exposed to this chemical (a synthetic estrogen), who grew up to find themselves with several 'problems' and health concerns as a direct result.

We have been referred to as DES daughters. 

I have long wondered if by doing these cleanses and detoxes I would eventually get to a place where I was directly detoxing out this chemical from my body. Having done so many Master Cleanses over the years, I know from past experience that toxins are dislodged from very early in life. 

In my own case, this would have been mainly antibiotics and medication given to me prior to age one. However, I have experienced detox of valium exposure (in utero) during my 40 days MC and I would be pleased if such a thing could happen with DES.

So, here we go! Who knows where this cleanse will take me this time around and has this been one of the 'blocks' that has been holding me down for so long? 

I will keep you posted,
