The Journey....Learning to Listen to Your Body

This post was inspired by a SIMPLE question I was asked about DETOXING...

The question was, "I would like to ask about detoxing and whether it really is beneficial etc?"

My reply, which unfolded as I passionately hit keys, was as follows. I hope you get from this something that awakens and stirs TRUTH and INSIGHT....the KNOWINGS of your SOUL :) Enjoy! xo


""Detoxing" as a formal thing I am not into..I am more into LISTENING to the bodies needs and meeting it in every moment. We are DYNAMIC beings, constantly changing, evolving and growing...so to IMPOSE a regime on the body, I feel is unnatural, and not likely to be "in-sync" with it's current and constantly changing needs...

For me, being in HEALTH is about listening to that quiet, internal whisper that says..."Hey...your giving me too much of _____. I really don't want any more of _____. Please, I need ________. Can you concentrate on _______."

Does that make sense? An example for me of late has been my body saying...."I feel heavy and un-energetic. I used to feel so much more VIBRANT when you fed me more RAW veg...lately its all cooked and I feel BLAH! Please, can you go back to giving me more RAW VEG and this time, please more adequately meet my needs...Please give me more concentrated sources of GREENS...plant sources that provide PROTEIN and ESSENTIAL fats..."

Haha. This is quite humerous, hey? But this is HONESTLY the "conversation" I had with my body!

These days I am so IN TUNE with my body (only took 18 years!!!), that I can trust implicitly what it tells me in any moment, and I strengthen that trust by following through, without question with ACTION :)

As I mentioned to someone earlier, for me lifestyle transition has to be effortless, totally inspired and totally yummy!

My current journey has been ALL of that and totally driven by complete LOVE, APPRECIATION & ACCEPTANCE of my body and soul. Not, as I had always done in that past, been driven by FEAR, HATE and LOATHING of my body and (unconsciously) the most deepest depths of who I was as a person...

In the past, I IMPOSED and FORCED things upon my body which worked really well for me when I was totally in a MALE-dominated and driven way of being. I had completely rejected my femininity and was so out-of-sync with my soul.

As I grew and awakened spiritually, I went through a period of chaos...My feminine being was awakening, yet I resisted it with all my might...When I finally got to a place of complete ACCEPTANCE and also let go of trying so hard to UNDERSTAND and FIX....that is when my life started to GRACEFULLY unfold and transform...

Ahhhh...it has been so beautiful since....only in moments of RESISTANCE does it become hard, unpleasant or scary...The deeper I go into awareness, acceptance and inner-refletion and connection, the more I am divinely guided to a blissful way of being...truly gorgeous!

ANYWAY, that is the SUPER LONG answer to an otherwise SIMPLE question and of course I have so much more to say!

I hope it makes sense for you and if you would like to bring your session forward so we can explore what the next steps for you are...the steps that your body is calling and longing for..then LETS DO IT! :) Very happy to adjust the schedule!

Let me know beautiful! :)

LIVE and LOVE the journey! :)

Mwah! oxoxoxoxo"


So there you have it!

It will either resonate with you and awaken a new level of awareness, or simply seem like mumbo-jumbo :)

No matter, either option is perfect for you and where you are at on your Journey :)
