However, sometimes a detox isn't the answer. Oftentimes, there are simple solutions that require a more gentle letting go--such as releasing old paradigms and emotional patterns.
Lack of sleep
For those who are tired and have trouble falling asleep, I recommend leaving computers, cellphones and televisions out of the bedroom. When you get into bed at night and you are ready for sleep, do nothing except relax and settle your body down; the stimulation to the pituitary and pineal gland from the screen lights is not one that is conducive to a state of relaxation. For those who fall asleep with the television on, while that may help you to fall asleep, you won’t get the deepest level of sleep that you could get. Try changing to light music without words or nature sounds . Burning two sticks of Nag Champa incense by the bedside about ten minutes prior to getting into bed helps bring deep sleep on for many, even where pharmaceuticals fail.
So
many people are overworked today, and for some, there is no relief in
sight. When stress can't be moved in some way, it must be managed. What I
find that helps manage this level of stress is to teach the person
something called Full Wave Breathing, taught by Tom Goode. It’s a style of breathwork that
utilizes full movement of the diaphragm, which results in oxygenating
the system and massaging internal organs. This helps with bowel
movements, in addition to other benefits. Most people lose ten pounds or
so when breathing in this fashion, consistently, every day. Regular full
wave breath sessions alleviate two common causes of dysfunction in the
body, lack of oxygen and the subsequent buildup of toxicity caused by
it, which can then be further compounded by chronic dehydration.
Dehydration and toxicity
Dehydration and toxicity
Dehydration,
simply put, means that no toxicity is leaving your body no matter how
hard you try because there is no exit pathway, or way for the toxins to
leave the body. When one pulls toxins out of any internal organ and
those toxins have no way to effectively exit the body, they don’t: they
swim around the system and dump back into whatever weakness they can
find, or these toxins can cross the blood brain barrier and give a
person quite
a headache. This is eliminated easily by hydrating a person very well
when dehydration is an issue, as it is in varying degrees for most of
us.
