Detoxing and decluttering
I currently subscribe to a number of spiritual blogs and instagram accounts and it amazes me that there is a common theme for this time of the year - detoxing and decluttering.
I've already written a little bit of decluttering in a previous post and thought it would be good to have a quick discussion on detoxing, which is another way of "decluttering" your body.
Earlier this month, I was guided to consider detoxing my body. Initially it was in the form of reading some detox books by Doreen Virtue, and then with her and Robert Reeves' release of the Nutrition for Intuition book, the "signs" were a lot stronger. I asked AA Michael if I was supposed to dl and read this new book and he said yes so I did and here's what happened.
Every day I try to chat to either the Archangels (Michael or Raphael) or my spirit guides (i.e. Hecate). This particular day I decided to chat to Hecate and asked her for any general message she had for me and she drew a carrot. I was meant to eat more carrots. At the same time I was doing this (automatic writing with my left hand), I was reading the Nutrition for Intuition ebook on my laptop. All of a sudden, my left hand stopped writing and my right hand started moving - in fact, I could see that my mouse was moving over the pages in the ebook until it rested on a particular page. I asked for confirmation from Hecate that I was supposed to click on that page by moving my left hand and she did so I clicked. The page fell smack bang in the middle of a chapter on smoothies.
Now to put this whole thing in context - I make green smoothies every week day in the morning as part of my breakfast. I've kind of been having the same ol thing for the last year or so and I use one of those Nutri Ninja/Bullet blah blah blender things to do it. The page that I clicked on fell on the "blender" page. Note that before that there was discussion on cold press equipment, stick blenders, juicers, etc, but the page fell exactly on the machine that I use. Reading through that and the rest of the chapter, there were a number of smoothie recipes that apparently assist with clearing certain chakras in the body. Apart from the obvious root -> crown chakras, there was also a hand chakra one too. After asking Hecate exactly what order I was supposed to try these smoothies, it ended up being the hand chakra, sacral chakra, then back to root, solar plexus, heart, throat and crown. On reflecting on this later, I realised that the recommendation of the order I should try the smoothie directly correlated to the ingredients that I had handy at this point in time (i.e. fruits in season). Funny that!
Now the reason for this type of detox is really to raise your vibrations so you can have better communication with your spirit guides, angels, God, etc. What you don't realise is that certain things you eat actually inhibit the communication (e.g. caffeine, alcohol, the pesticides in the fruit and veges you buy, etc). I hadn't drunk alcohol for a bit and the day after I did after a night out I have really severe gastro. Similarly yesterday when I ate a really nice French dinner with a glass of wine, almost instantly after the meal (which was creamy), I felt really heavy and tired. For the other days during this week I have been intentionally going for vegetarian meals twice a day (brekkie + lunch) and a meat dish for dinner. I notice now that my body doesn't react as well to pork as it used to which is surprising.
Whether I turn full on vegetarian will be another issue but for now I think I'll continue on the 2 vege + 1 meat dish and see how I go. I certainly have been having a lot more vivid dreams lately so it must be doing something right!
