Detoxing is Releasing

Society has taught us that lines and discoloration are part of aging, and to a degree they are. They are the hard-wire remnants of our histories. The affect of repeated thoughts, feelings and physical misdeeds is carried along the nervous system. It feeds each cell and eventually leave its affect with soft tissue. This weakens the integrity of tissue. The result is toxicity in joints, waste stored in cells, swelling and inflammation. When working with human tissue, nothing is ever permanent (except maybe a tattoo). Just as we can change our mind, these past remnants can be softened, lessened or sometimes erased.

On the physical level releasing the past comes from cleansing and detoxifying internal organs. One of the best ways to cleanse is with a fast. My favorite fast is my Detox Vegetable Soup. You’ll find the recipe on my website www.wisdompathway.com .This soup heals, strengthens and revitalizes. Excess weight is a result of a sluggish system and low vitality causing weakness in organ function. It only stands to reason that offering your body the cleanest and highest nutrition will allow the organs and tissues to release the old and return to homeostasis…perfect balance. A body in perfect balance finds its perfect form.

The ancient Greek followed a rule of thought that white fruits or vegetables clean the lymphatic system. You will  see that many of  vegetables included in my recipe are white, such as; turnips, onions cabbage and garlic. Cabbage alone outdoes broccoli in its level of calcium. Also listed very high on cabbage’s nutritional profile are the B vitamins: Niacin (B3), Riboflavin (B2)  and Thiamine (B1

These three B’s act to aid digestion, stabilize emotions, and relieve irritability and depression while aiding the entire nervous system. They are even more effective when combined with calcium and phosphorus. They help prevent constipation, edema and aid the urinary system. 

Curry is used as a common antiseptic in India and  turmeric is one of the  Ayurvedic  medicines. Curry’s anti-inflammatory properties have been shown in studies to promote neurological health. Incorporating curry leaves into your daily diet can also help with your weight loss plan. These leaves are known to flush out fat and toxins, thereby reducing fat deposits that are stored in the body, as well as reducing bad cholesterol levels.

In recent studies Turmeric has proven to slow the spread of breast and skin cancer into other areas of the body. It also  relieves Cystic Fibrosis  and Psoriasis. Practitioners of Ayurvedic and traditional Chinese herbal medicine use turmeric to treat digestive disorders. It contains compounds that have been shown to ease pain. In helping to relieve these aliments it has to be cleansing, detoxing and releasing.

There Are No Mistakes

So many people’s health problems stem from feelings of regret, depression or discouragement due to actions or decisions from the past. However, I am here to tell you there are no bad decisions and there are no mistakes. There are only the consequences of our decisions. 

This understanding came to me through studying a Universal Principle: the Law of Polarity. The Principle of Polarity states that everything is dual. There are two sets of opposites for everything found on the physical, mental or spiritual plane. Polarity is the difference in direction or dimension of the extreme opposites of one thing. There is no light without darkness, no good without bad, cold without warm. Each is the same just in varying degrees; there are no absolutes. What is truth for one is half-truth for another.

Opposites are the two extremes of the same thing. Using temperature as an example, when would you believe that hot becomes cold? You might say 32 degrees would be the division because water freezes at that point, however ice also begins to melt at that temperature. I remember the winter months that I lived on the Gulf Coast of Florida. Locals wore coats and rarely visited the beach. Yet, snowbirds from Canada wore tee shirts and even swam in the Gulf during the same months. All were in the same location at the same time, but their realities were different.

If opposites are truly the same, then Love and Hate are just extremes of the same emotion.  Where does love begin and hate stop? When does hot become cold? How far east do you travel before reaching west? The answer is not a marked point on a scale as much as how we feel or think about a condition at that particular time and the amount of energy ( attention and judgment) we give to the thought. 

How does all of this affect your life? Since all things contain the principle of polarity, any thing can be changed. It is done with the power of your mind, because the mind controls emotions. The first step is in choosing to do so.   You may not be able to change the thing you have done or that has been done to you. However, it is in changing your belief about the outcome that the negative effect is negated. Sometimes we make a decision and the outcome is not all we hoped. This is because the person who asks for a thing is never the same person who receives it. There is a process of becoming that must take place…otherwise you would already have the thing you asked for.  As being the captain of your own ship, decide where you want to go, set your course and keep your eye on the designation. All the things that happen in between are part of the journey. If negative thinking begins the thoughts create a downward spiral that feeds the negativity with repetition.  If the attitude stays positive, regardless of what passes, the outcome will be greater for it.  

A similar situation happened to one of the women in my group when I was a sales trainer. She wanted to win a company car. She worked a full time job and sold our product part-time. A new car would be a wonderful reward. She made the commitment and worked out a plan, but as she began putting the plan to action her well organized life seemed to begin falling apart. First, she was laid off from her job, and secondly her husband’s company sent him to Japan for two months to open an international location.   She felt all of this was a sign that she had made a bad choice.  We talked about changing perspective, making a paradigm shift and seeing all these events as a boost from the Universe. She no longer had a job; instead, she had a business. She no longer had a paycheck so there would be no coasting on minimum sales.  During the two months of her husband absence, she had the freedom to work the hours she chose. All the earlier negative events crumbled to became the stepping-stones to her success.  Yet nothing really changed except the way she chose to view it.  

Our physical world is only the tip of the ice-berg.  Our minds, beliefs and emotions affect all that is unseen. And the Universe will return whatever behavior is given out from a source  to its source through another  principle called the Law  of Cause and Effect . This one was my Christmas gift to you...I’ll explain that one next time.
