We are our choices. Every choice made defines the life. Life has revealed a truth to me, that there are no BIG days of decision. No forks in the road ahead. The only forks I’ve ever seen have been in my life’s rear view mirror. The little decisions made each day determined in advance how I would respond when life’s larger decisions were pending. Often I have not even recognized how important the questions were until I was reaping the results of my choices.
The little choices we make each day become habits and habits become a life. What, when and how we eat. Looking for opportunities to bless others instead of only noticing what is right in front of our nose. Learn to set yourself up to succeed by knowing yourself well. Nothing in life is of little importance.
Detoxing the Body
Setting up a good detoxing program is key to any successful healing or cleansing. Too often a person will set themselves up to fail at cleansing by not doing their homework. A basic understanding of how the body works will provide the ground work as you clear the waste from your system.
When beginning any healing or detoxing program the benefits will only come if the waste can be removed and healing nutrition brought in. The largest elimination organ is our colon. If this avenue of elimination is not open and producing well all the good you are doing is for naught. The waste will be reabsorbed as it sets in a sluggish backed up bowel waiting to be eliminated from the body.
The healing and detoxing of the body need not be a negative experience. Many people are hesitant to begin a good detox because they cannot afford to be sick or don’t want to feel bad. Detoxing can produce flu like symptoms when the waste that should be eliminated is reabsorbed. Feeling bad is not necessary, when the immune system is supported with proper nutrition and enough Echinacea the waste is neutralized and eliminated, not reabsorbed.
It’s all good. With proper nutritional and emotional support the healing of the body, mind and heart can be an uplifting fulfilling time. Healing is not so much about the diseased condition as it is about unblocking life on every level, while flooding the body, mind, and soul with healing, restorative nutrients. Take the opportunity to get real with yourself. You are a physical, Emotional and Spiritual child of God, as the physical body begins to heal there will be a corresponding clearing of old issues from your emotional and Spiritual life.
Everyone will have their share of pain in this life. The hard times are not here to destroy us, but to enable us to grow. As we choose to meet life’s challenges, we develop real worth and depth of character. When we choose to turn about and squarely face our own personal demons, we inevitably discover how powerful a single choice can be. The power of choice is the gift Jesus died to give each of us. The journey of 1,000 miles begins with one step. The power to overcome on every level and rise above every weakness begins with one choice. When you choose to embrace life’s trials, you are choosing to attend classes designed specifically for you. Now, instead of being a victim, you are choosing to expand and grow psychologically, emotionally, and spiritually.
We are a week away from the biggest family day of the year. Life is messy; there is no escaping the joy, tears and drama ahead. It’s the same every year, you know the routine. You spend the first five minutes catching up and the next three days remembering why you only do this once a year. Those of us blessed with family we actually enjoy spending time with can still appreciate the uninvited drama that manages to show up each year.
Meet the Family: Decide this year to steer clear of the old emotional junk. Every family has them. The subjects better left alone. So, leave them alone. Allow each person to be new to you. Someone you are just meeting and getting to know. Try it; you will be amazed to discover how little you actually know about those who mean the most to you. We are all constantly growing and changing yet we seldom take the time to get reacquainted.
Today I want to share a little hope. This is the golden thread we all live on. Without hope in something beyond ourselves and this life there is truly no purpose or reason to go on. If our short span of years in this life is all there is, if this is as good as it gets, why take the ride at all.
Member Q&A: Maybe you have already covered this topic, but I was wondering what you might recommend for our youngsters who are just off to university. Bearing in mind their diets normally deteriorate extremely (over here most tend to self-cater) and their alcohol consumption goes through the roof… maybe this might be a topic for a newsletter at some point. Thinking it through I guess the Superfood should be a mainstay but I wonder if there is something else that isn’t too much trouble for them that would also support?
Wow, can I really be %# already. This just can’t be true. My heart still beats inside the body of a young girl. The years have flown in a flash. So much still I’d love to do, so much yet to know about living, loving and being me. I’m just beginning to know who I am and what I really want from this life.
Over the years many members have expressed a reluctance to do the liver flushing part of the cleansing programs. The common excuses have been:
