Energetic Clearing - Fasting with a Purpose

I am now on day 3 of my little detox and I am starting to get settled into it – what is nice about this time around is that we already have been through a water fast and know full well what to expect or do we...

Not that any two of these are alike! For as many fasts, detoxes and cleanses as I have done over the years, there is no common theme or pattern or even much of a similarity between them.

For the most part, the first 2 or 3 days are an adjustment period (shifting into what I refer to as detox mode) then, after that – anything goes. You will experience detox symptoms (everyone is different) and stuff (issues, emotions, energies) will come up to the surface.

What you do about all of this is totally up to you. However the entire point of doing a cleanse is to access long hidden/buried/forgotten/lost pieces of our selves. We are making room for them to come back by clearing out what doesn’t belong.

My fasting days often bring loads of dreams – and each night is quite an adventure. These dreams are a vital and important part of the process because we are working through things during the day, but into other dimensions of ourselves at night…..

Doing the same kind of work during the nighttime hours, but on the shadow dimensions. It’s like a continual process of unhooking from whatever it is that has held us back in life. Clearing on a physical level enables us to reach up into other aspects of our beings such as spiritual and energetic.

For anyone walking a spiritual path, this is important, necessary and vital work. You cannot become a conscious person while living in a toxic wasteland. The denser physical tissues must be cleaned up – only then, when you are safe, will your destiny be revealed.

Reflection of Your Shadow Self

Nothing better than a long weekend to get your feet on the ground once again and to bring life back into perspective. I really enjoy these long dark nights in with the family - on the one hand, it is cosy and comforting. While, I do miss the long days and the light....

Somewhere between worlds is where we find ourselves at the moment - at this time of year our gut lining is it's thinnest, making detoxing easier. But also meaning that toxins can move back and forth when the digestive system is not in a healthy state.

Of course the most exciting thing about right now is the change. If you cannot sense all of these energy shifts taking place on the earth at the moment - try to take some time to slow down and get into this new groove. Things are really starting to move as far as higher consciousness is concerned.

And where does that leave all of us? Well, if you have been actively taking part in creating your life, working on eating better, exercising and focusing on what you want here - you are on the right path. Regardless of what anyone out there says to the contrary - awakening is a physical process and you can't do that without your body's involvement. 

Now is not the time to succumb to sugar, sweets and the pure rubbish on offer - each of these are strategically placed to pull you back down to the lower dimensions. Walking the spiritual path is all about overcoming these obstacles and addictions. You cannot bring them with you. 

This weekend and during these coming dark days before the light returns is also a great time to reflect on all you are hoping for, dreaming about and attempting to bring about in this world. Now is a good time to refine your goals while you continue to work at making them happen.

Deeply into the shadow time of the year as we are now, reflects our own shadow self - and out of this darkness will come great ideas, plans and profound energy into the light. This is the time to actively pursue your dreams - wherever they may be.
