The interesting about teaching healing practitioners is that as you help others, you get to improve yourself. Coming from a dance background, and raised connected to nature, I have developed over the years a relationship to my body and movement that has been an on-going experimentation towards optimum health. Some people are brought to healing because of a diagnosis that makes a lifestyle change inevitable. Perhaps I have a great health because of my genes, or it may be because I have always been interested in improving myself that way. Regardless of why, I find myself fortunate to be teaching. I feel that I have to walk the talk, so it’s a really great incentive to stay motivated and make progress.
Working with my health and body is an empowering experience and it has made me more confident in different aspects of my life, knowing that I can be pro-active about my health and that I can improve my figure when I want to.
Coming up soon are two ThetaHealing classes that help with your knowledge of the body: Rhythm towards a Perfect Body, and Intuitive Anatomy. It provides information and practical exercises, including how to detox the different body systems, which can also increase your spiritual power.
In the meantime, I thought I’d share some soft and natural remedies, that you can implement into your everyday lifestyle. A simple gesture to nurture your health in addition to the belief work so you can cleanse from the inside out.
Green Clay
Growing up in the countryside, one of the natural self-care rituals my mother introduced me to is drinking a glass of French Green Clay in the morning. Also known as bentonite clay, its absorption properties facilitate the detoxification of the body and rejuvenates the skin. Before going to bed, you prepare two table spoons of clay and cover with fresh water. When you wake up, you stir the powder from the bottom of the glass with a wooden spoon (you always want to avoid handling clay with plastic or metal because of its absorbing properties). Make sure to eat light, without lipids in the few hours following ingestion. Tip: in an emergency situation, green clay my be helpful to purifying the water if there is an excess of heavy metals, toxins or radiation if you happen to be in a lightly polluted area.
Organic Noni
Noni is a powerful plant. I get the Organic Hawaiian Noni. When I tried it I found it to be so soft – yet so deep. It brought back old things that were being detoxified through my skin. The first couple of days I thought the taste was appalling, but then I got used to it so now I love it. Because of how deep it works, you can do a week or two of a shot of the dark green beverage in the morning. Making sure to eat a balanced diet with plenty of raw ingredients to keep the digestion light and rich in fibers. I wouldn’t necessarily I find that taking this plant as a supplement helpful to the belief work as it brings up issues that are ready to clear. I love the second plane of existence!
Diatomaceous Earth
This powder high in silica is made from fossil algae, and has recently become popular as a dietary supplement. I tried Food Grade Diatomaceous Earth for several months and am happy with the results. Take it on an empty stomach, one teaspoon in a glass of water. It helps cleanse the digestive tract, and removes the heavy metals from water. It is important to not inhale the silica as it will irritate your lungs and to make sure you are getting high quality edible diatomaceous earth as it can also be used against parasites for gardening. Somehow it’s easier to get in the US than Green Clay so it may become my go to remedy!
Apple Cider Vinegar
I knew I was writing this article a few months back, and I never really tried apple cider vinegar except to rinse my hair after the shampoo… so I gave it a try. I take a table spoon of Organic Apple Cider Vinegar in a warm glass of water. The warmth in the morning feels nice on the body and I wait 20 minutes before having another beverage. Some people say use it with lemon juice, but I feel funny about cooking the vitamins and enzymes from the lemon in my water. Or maybe it’s just an excuse because I find it hard to keep a fresh lemon in the fridge. For now I like it, it feels like having tea, and I will keep the healing properties of lemon for when I do my yearly master cleanse 🙂
