RISING WOMEN EXPERT
ADVICE...
What kind of results
besides increased energy can you hope to experience by cleansing?
With spring here - and so long awaited in more ways than one in respect to
us all mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually - the importance of
cleansing is more than just physical. It actually involves the whole body
and includes the “cleaning” out of the mind of unwanted thoughts, the
“cleansing and healing” of emotions, the “cleansing and releasing” of the
will, and the “cleansing and removal” of unwanted chemicals and poisons not
released properly over the winter months.
During the winter, we are generally colder and do not sweat as much. We also
eat heavier foods which, don’t necessarily cleanse but instead “build up” to
keep us warm. This results in toxins clogging our whole being, and over the
years can lead to diseases.
Live foods like sprouts, raw fruits and vegetables, such as leafy green
salads, carrots, celery, radishes, cabbage and apples will give you a good
base to start to a cleanse. Sprouts are true “live” foods because you can
actually plant them as is and they will grow. They also impart their “life”
to our bodies. Sprouts like Alfalfa are building, Red Clover is a blood
cleanser, Broccoli is a good protector and cleanser of the intestines,
Radish cleans out chemicals from the blood, Lentils clean out the arteries,
and Bean sprouts balance the blood sugars while you are doing your cleanse.
You can eat the sprouts in a salad or a shake, though raw is better because
you are not processing them. Combine a sprout cleanse with vegetable
juicing, a fiber shake and enemas or colonics to make the most out of your
cleanse.
People are often surprised at what can be accomplished with a cleanse.
Organs like the kidney and liver have meridians that go right past the knee
joint and because those organs are often clogged, they are the first to get
“unclogged” with a cleanse, thus the knee joint feels lighter, looser and
has less pain. The lung and large intestine meridian travels past the
shoulder so when they are cleansed often shoulder problems disappear as
well. Once the colon rids the body of toxins during the cleanse, runners
often notice an increased ability to breathe deeply. The colon, no longer
pressing up on the diaphragm, will allow you to take a much bigger breath
in.
From joint pain to calmer nerves to increased libido, you can accomplish
great things by cleansing this spring!
