Eliminating Toxic Emotions
By Kaleah
Toxic emotions reside in our tissues and as we begin a program of cleansing, fasting or detoxification in any way we are also detoxing the emotional body.
It may sound a little far fetched, nevertheless, it is true. Try it for yourself and see why.
As you begin cleansing you will notice it to be a very emotional experience. You may experience having crying spells, anxiety, restlessness and even periods of extreme peace as the journey progresses.
As your body goes to work to purge the toxins you will naturally begin purging on all levels. You may even find yourself wanting to clean house, clean out your closets and clean up your life in many ways.
Scientists have found that emotional stress is a big factor in aging and disease. This is why it is important to get the issues out of your tissues. The more you work to detoxify long standing resentments and issues of emotional pain, the healthier you will become.
A good cleanse can make you look and feel ten years younger. Releasing years of built up painful emotions is one factor. Of course getting the toxic sludge out of your body is another.
When beginning a cleanse you may want to have a journal nearby and write about what is coming up for you. Write how you a
re feeling each step of the way. Write down when you are hungry and feel you just can’t take it anymore. Get in touch with what is going on emotionally for you. Without the foods you have been addicted to, you may find yourself going through withdrawal from these foods. This is bound to bring up many feelings.
Cleansing is also a good time to get out and walk, breathe in the fresh air, smell the scents of nature, look at the beauty all around you. Allow yourself the experience of letting go! Be sure to take several long deep breaths throughout your day and exhale completely. This will help keep you relaxed and purge those toxic emotions.
