Cleansing with the Masters
What did spiritual leaders such as Jesus, Moses, Gandhi, and Krishna have in common? They all preached the wonders of internal cleansing for purity of the mind, body and spirit. What did these wise men know about the value of internal cleansing? They knew that if we eliminated our toxins, our inner wisdom would invite a healing on all levels.
What is a toxin? A toxin is a substance that creates irritation or causes harmful effects in our bodies. Toxins usually enter through four access points. They can be absorbed through the skin, inhaled through the respiratory tract, ingested through the mouth into our gastrointestinal tract and created within us via unresolved thoughts, emotions and stress. This leaves us with symptoms from fatigue, arthritis, poor skin, bad breath, digestive ailments, chronic infections, overweight, mental and emotional imbalances, to more serious health conditions.
The walls of our colon can become coated with layers of hardened waste and rubbery mucus from years of improper eating of refined, fiberless, sugary foods. Many of us have overeaten to suppress or comfort ourselves during times of frustration, loneliness, anger, and so forth. Medications have altered our gut's vital bacteria balance, causing irritated stomach and intestinal wall linings. Environmental toxins have burdened our bodies with hazardous waste material. Negative emotions and stress have tightened our gut into knots and spasms, as well as left behind degenerative chemical waste from the release of the stress-fighting hormones. This literally creates a toxic waste site within us!
Our body's wisdom does its best to protect us from these toxins by surrounding them with mucus, water, and fat. Toxins will remain in our body tissue and organs until they are removed. A complete internal cleansing program can move these toxins out of the body. It can release toxins that are stored in the fatty tissue of our body and be eliminated. Buried emotions may “come out of the closet” to be felt and released. Mentally we can cleanse non-health giving thoughts. Spiritually, blocks may be moved to open us up to a deeper connection- with our loved ones, with ourselves, and with our God.
Your lack of knowledge does not change the negative impact of toxins on your body, however with new information, you can be informed and encouraged to change the future of your health status.
