We recommend this inner body cleanse prior to spiritual
consultations, meditation groups and retreats.
Before starting a new healing program, before taking
a new vitamin or herb, before fasting or change in diet, you need
to rid your body of built-up toxins and schlock. Getting rid of
the old stuff, will make way for the new program to take effect.
How else will you know that a healing program is working if you
are just putting new things on top of the old?
This cleansing program cleans the digestive system
and draws impurities out of organs inside the body. This program
may be used with common colds, high blood pressure (it's important
to have the natural salt in this situation), digestive ailments,
fever and other ailments.
Prior to Cleanse
If you have problems with constipation, please clean your bowls
with a safe herbal laxative for one or two days before this cleanse.
During the Cleanse
Avoid alcohol, spicy foods, fried foods and anything rich or heavy
during this week of cleansing. You will take your digestive tract
back to its childhood state. Feel what would be best to feed a small
child and you will know what to eat.
Recipe
2 Quarts (2 Liters) Water - boil to tea drinking
temperature
1 Level Tablespoon Natural Salt - from sea or ground
Juice from a Lime/Lemon - if required to offset the taste
16oz (1/2 Liter) Serving Cup
An Alarm Clock - set to sunrise for 7 days
Extra Toilet Paper :)
Salt from a natural source is better for cleaning
the body than iodized salt. Sea salt is fine, evaporated salt is
fine, and ground-based salt is fine.
YES!!! You will drink 2 Quarts
(2 Liters) in one sitting.
The Daily Program
The organs of the body have open channels
in the early morning hours between 5AM and 7AM. This is the best
time to drink salt water and a common time in most spiritual practices
to perform a morning ritual.
Face the four directions: North, South, East and
West. East is for Water, West for Earth, South for Fire, and North
for Air. Ask for blessings, purity, strength and anything you might
need. Drink to the four directions until finished.
When you drink in each direction, feel how the associated
element effects your life. Example: Water - "Thank you water.
Biological life comes from water, thank you. Humans come from water,
thank you. I came from the water of my mother's womb, thank you.
I relax in the surf at the beach, thank you. I drink this yummy
salt water to heal my body, thank you..."
If you find yourself with a full stomach, even after
the first glass, the following exercises will help. The idea is
to get the water out of your stomach and into your intestines.
- Exercise 1 - Raise your arms over your head (still
standing) and sway them left to right.
- Exercise 2 - Spread your feet shoulder width
apart and spin your body at the waist from left to right. Let
your arms swing with your body. Feel the stretch in your lower
back and abdomen.
- Exercise 3 - Bend your knees and squat. Reach
with your left hand and touch the tip of your index finger to
the outside of your right foot. Now try to do both together with
your head facing somewhat forward. You should find your left elbow
touch the outside of your right knee when you're in the full squat
position. This exercise is of course a little (sic) difficult.
If too difficult try something else.
- Exercise 4 - Rub your stomach with the palm of
right your hand clockwise 21 times and counter clockwise 13 times.
- Exercise 5 - Doing the Hatha Yoga Cobra Position
is also good as are other exercises that get the intestines stimulated.
What to Expect
As with any cleansing program, reactions vary from
people to people. You may take more than one hour to drink this
much saltwater. After a little practice, most people can drink the
water in 30 to 45 minutes. Some people throw up the first glass;
keep trying and you'll be glad you did.
You should expect to make trips to the toilet throughout
the morning. Some people finish cleaning their bowels in a couple
of hours. It may take a little longer during the first few days.
One thing that is very common, is to have LOTS of
additional energy and a great appetite. This too may take a couple
of days.
Plan to take it easy on the first few days, especially
if you have never done any kind of cleansing before. You may be
amazed at it's effects of your energy, mood and emotions. Physical
cleaning is often connected to a deeper more psychological and spiritual
cleaning.
You will be taking your digestive track back to
its childhood state and this can be serious work. Eat light during
the cleanse and do not drink alcohol. When you stop cleansing, watch
what you eat and bring your body back to your normal diet slowly.
After the first 7 days, you may choose to continue.
During the second week, drink every second day, the third week,
drink every third day, the forth week, drink every fourth... until
you drink salt water one time in one week for the rest of your life.
Or... whenever you feel you need a cleansing.
People over 25 years of age can drink salt water once per week as
a laxative and to keep the immune system up to par.
People with special circumstances or in doubt whether
this is for them, should contact us
before starting out on this program.
Please contact us with
your comments, questions and results if you would like to share
them with others.
After cleansing you Inner Body,
