Many spiritual seekers are fascinated by the development of psychic abilities like remote viewing, telepathy and astral projection. While seeming incredible to some skeptics, the unlocking of these abilities is a natural consequence of pursuing a spiritual discipline aimed at direct communion with God or the ultimate reality. This is the path of the mystic.

In the process of studying and applying the universal laws which govern the universe, a student of mysticism will begin to unveil his or her inner senses. That is, the counterparts of his or her objective senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell will awaken, which are often referred to as psychic abilities.

There are two aspects to prepare you to unlock these abilities:

1) Awareness that they are real; and
2) Clearing your energy centers, especially the pineal and pituitary glands.

STEP 1: AWARENESS

Remote Viewing

Remote viewing is the name given to the ability to see objects that are distantly located in time or space using your “inner vision.” In the late ’70s, researchers at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) conducted tests under a Defense Department grant.

Using psychics, they were able to develop a set of rigorous protocols. Amazingly, what they discovered was that almost anyone could learn to remote view. At this point the program left the lab and operated under various names, such as Grill Flame and Stargate, to spy on the Soviets, among other things.

While seemingly new, this practice is an aspect of the more general concept of clairvoyance, which mystics have practiced for ages. The remote viewing program was officially “halted” in the ’90s. Many of the participants who worked in these programs, as well as other government programs that develop psychic abilities or ESP, have spoken to me of their experiences.

Telepathy

Telepathy is the ability to send and receive thoughts using only your inner senses. It is another skill mystics have practiced for ages. The object of mysticism is not primarily to develop such skills, but rather to experience direct communion with God or the ultimate reality. However, while working toward this goal your inner senses will begin to emerge.

Everyone has latent psychic abilities. Over 70% of Americans report having had some sort of psychic experience. You likely have had your own. The first step to developing these abilities is to understand that they are real.

Astral Projection or Out-of-Body Experience

Astral projection or astral travel is the mystic ability to project your psychic body separately from your physical body to enable it to travel through time and space. An out-of-body experience is another name, but astral projection and astral travel implies the conscious, intentional ability and not merely a chance event that may occur while sleeping.

The Illuminati

Throughout the ages, there have been stories of secret societies that help members to develop mystical skills. Dan Brown, author of the NY Times bestseller, The DaVinci Code, refers to one secret society, the Illuminati, as “one of the most powerful unseen forces in global politics.”

Illuminati literally means “Illuminated Ones.” In theory, members of this group would be advanced souls trying to uplift humanity. Sadly, when most people refer to the Illuminati, they are referring to a number of secret groups that have no interest in humanity’s welfare.

The good news is that there are a number of “Illuminated Ones” that act behind the scenes to thwart the evil plans of the bad apples. These are the true mystics, seeking the welfare of all. As more people “wake up” to what is happening, the faster these wicked plans will be overturned.

Why is this knowledge kept secret?

It is easy to grasp why spy agencies would not want to share their knowledge with the public. For other reasons, neither do the mystics. By tradition, only those deemed worthy received access to these secrets. In addition, those who violated their oaths of secrecy and revealed this hidden knowledge were severely punished.

In today’s world, many of these “mysteries” are publicly available. The problem is that you may not have the time or inclination to study and benefit from them. Even when you do make the effort, the information is often disjointed and difficult to sort out. Discernment is needed.

STEP 2: CLEARING YOUR ENERGY CENTERS (PSYCHIC CENTERS)

Your two most important psychic centers are located in the center of your brain: your pituitary and pineal glands. These glands correspond to the sixth and seventh chakras of eastern thought and account for 75% of your psychic abilities.

Intuition is your higher self communicating with you via these two energy centers. (Gut-feel is the stimulation of the nerve ganglia in the pit of your stomach and, while often valuable, is better defined as instinct.)

Your glands can be activated safely by sacred vowel sounds. The sound “Aum” or “Om” is one such sacred sound. Chanting it stimulates the pineal gland. Another way to activate these glands is by energy. Since their function is to step down the higher frequency vibrations of the higher planes, clearly, the energy required to stimulate these glands must also be of a higher vibration.

When you clear out these centers, you will more easily perceive the more subtle vibrations of your higher self and these higher worlds. Furthermore, by flushing the discordant thoughts, feelings and emotions from your mental and emotional bodies, you will be less likely to be distracted by negative, stagnant energies and more easily commune with your True Self, i.e. God.

Best wishes for a mystically inspired life,
Ed

Moonlight falls softly on the Wateree River, illuminating the quiet, leafy riverbanks and the slow, steady, winding current below the water’s surface.

The herons and hawks are resting, and this tranquil, humanless haven belies the fact that sleeping communities of homo sapiens abound on either side of this bridge linking two worlds.

Just a few centuries before, this community was the site of the first inland European settlement. Pivotal Revolutionary battles have been fought here, and Native American Indian mounds are silent sentinels to the ancient ways. Hunt and steeplechase trails follow the Green Man’s footsteps through the hallowed woodlands of Kershaw County.

The stars shifted in the Heavens in the early part of this year and brought their changing energy to my world. Trusting in Spirit and shaking off the dust from my former world, I gratefully accepted these unknown gifts. A new job and new home manifested within a month’s time, and the wheels of motion continued to usher in their benevolent changes. Even Mercury retrograde could not stop this progression.

In my new world, dreams become reality and thoughts manifest quickly. One minute I am seeing a new opportunity in my mind’s eye, and the next hour or day a person magically appears and the Divine Key is dropped at my doorstep.

The equine community is interwoven within this world, and flows easily among the poets, tinkers and traders. Horses have been a part of my life since childhood when I took my first ride on a marsh tacky in the tidelands of St. Helena Sound.

Like the river’s course, my life has changed and flowed over and around the hurdles that have come with the opportunities. I’ve come to look at illnesses and obstacles or delays from a new state of awareness. Asking myself, how did I get here and from whence came my thoughts? And asking my angels for help, and acknowledging and accepting their responses.

Gazing upon my new home for the first time, I paused and smiled as I read the inscription on the lintel above the front door: “These small and perishable bodies we now have were given us as ponies to schoolboys.” Once inside these doors, I fell to my knees in prayer and gratitude, for it was as if my dreams and prayers I had held for several years had been answered many times over.

Each day the spirit of this place blesses me as she reveals her treasures to me. Another inscription tucked away in part of the garden, a woodland creature sharing her joy with me, the fairy lights welcoming me home and appearing in my windows at night.

And like the spirit of this place, my new community continues to reveal itself to me as well. A casting call of characters fit for a best-selling novel. A master cabinetmaker who believes in the power of dreams. A landscaper with native American roots and spirituality. A civic leader who dreams of the Broadway footlights. The effervescent American Legion veterans who invited me to my first Change of Command ceremony at the local Army base. A miller who hosts a philosophy group discussing early American literature.

The landscape inspires me with its “Earth portraits” as I like to call them. Straddling the natural geological fall line of the East coast, the sun’s and moon’s comings and goings mark their time on the ridge that calls this part of the world home.

Just as my new home, born of a kindred artistic soul, encircles me within its sheltering stillness of pine and oak woods, replete with dancing deer and cooing doves, my angels are ever present and protective, offering solace and renewal. The garden blends softly into the forest’s edge and harbors the sun’s rising and setting over the wisteria and the blueberry bushes.

My first view of the nearby lake was on a Full Moon’s eve, and I watched as the large lunar Goddess slowly rose above the treetops and mirrored herself in the cool, shimmering water below.

Writers are often solitary creatures, and I find my creative, quiet moments sandwiched between the whirlwind of meeting new people and planning for our next event at the office, slowly increasing my involvement in my new community.

Each day is an opportunity to participate in the eternal dance of life and leave our own unique footprint. And so, I find myself taking life by the reins and following the trail of my heart. Just a short drive from my former life, and a world full of hope and dreams away.

“Who has not found the Heaven below
will fail of it above -
For angels rent the House next our’s
Wherever we remove.”
Emily Dickinson

*********************************************************************

I was born in Columbia, South Carolina, the Deep South, and have always enjoyed creating art. As a child, art came naturally to me through drawing, painting, writing poems and stories, needlework and dance. And living in a state blessed with an abundance of natural beauty instilled in me a love of nature and animals.

After graduating from college and spending almost twenty years working in the corporate arena, I needed a change. Somehow during that time I felt I had lost touch with that creative side of myself. So I sat down and wrote a list of things I enjoyed and what I’d really like to do. I’d always loved history, antiques and art, so I applied to Sotheby’s in London and was accepted.

Moving to London on my own and studying at Sotheby’s for a year, and then remaining another year to obtain a master’s degree in decorative/fine art and historic architecture from the University of Buckingham, helped me to remember my artistic roots. Living and traveling abroad reconnected me to that creative passion, which had long since become an ember.

I’ve always had a fascination with vintage cameras and films, so moving into photographic art and combining this medium with writing seems a natural progression of my career from the business world to the art world, in essence a full circle for me.

It is my profound belief that there are many mystical places on our wonderful planet that possess the power to heal, to reconnect to us our right balance physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Sometimes the seemingly ordinary, seen in detail or in a different light, can open us to the possibilities that surround us. We need only to open our hearts and minds, and our eyes will find them.

In my childhood, walking through the marshes of my home state and visiting the Blue Ridge Mountains at the ends of summers brought this serenity to me. My sincere hope is that these personal stories and artwork will help you find your own inner peace, and perhaps bring a remembrance of who you are.

15 Daily Actions For Making You Feel Happier

In his book “The Happiness Prescription”, renowned Spiritual Guru Deepak Chopra says that happiness is the goal of every other goal”

And how true that is!

You see, happiness is something that we all want. Whatever we do, we do so because we feel we will feel better in the having of it.

Happiness is a state of mind that comes from within, regardless of the circumstances we are in. And only when we are happy, can we spread happiness to those around us. Being Happy is our real nature.  And anything other than that means we are not what we should be.

When we feel joy, ecstasy and happiness, we are in vibrational harmony with the Universe, and we open the gates to unlimited abundance.

Every day of our lives should be nothing short of revelry – revelry of a different kind. Not the ones we often see at drunken parties, but something that goes deeper. Much deeper.  We are talking about merry-making that comes from within. Merry-making that is felt, more than seen.

So why not make it our life’s goal to revel every day, and live in complete bliss and ecstasy? Why not get High on Happiness?

We have come up with 15 simple daily actions that you can perform today and immediately start feel good.

These actions might seem insignificant in themselves, but let not their simplicity fool you! Doing them will have a profound positive impact in your life. Just do them… and see how you feel!

1. 1. Today, get some flowers for your husband and thank him for being a part of your life.
   (If you are a male, then send flowers to your wife)

- For being part of your life.
- For the special bond that you share.
- For all the wonderful times you have shared over the years .
- For the times he has been there to help you.
- For the joyful moments you have shared.
- For being an understanding friend.

1. 2. Today, call up 2 of your elderly relatives and spend some time chatting with them.

There are not many people who take out time to talk to their elderly relatives. If you call them up, they will appreciate it a lot, considering the fact that not many in your family will have the inclination to call them.

There are many life lessons that you can learn from the elderly. Take your time with them and talk to them in order to gain a better perspective on life.  You will be surprised to know so many things about them that you did not earlier know.

This would even give them a chance to talk to you about so many things that they wanted someone to share with.

Have dinner with them. Ask your family about their day and what they did. Play with your children, and share some precious moments together.

Taking this simple step will help you communicate with each other more openly. And will also help bring your family closer.

You can try doing this when you return from work, because this will instantly take the stress off your mind and trigger the release endorphins to make you feel better. Your family member will feel good too, thanks to this sudden display of affection from your part!

8. Today, sleep one hour earlier than usual and give your body some extra rest!

Sleep is an important factor in a healthy individual’s life. Studies show that those who sleep seven hours a day face fewer incidents of chronic stress and psychosomatic problems in their lives at a later stage.

Sleep refreshes your body, giving your mental and physical faculties the time to recuperate from the constant movement of everyday life. It also burns a small number of calories.

Today, you can be kind to your body and give it some extra time to recuperate. Sleep one hour earlier than usual tonight and wake up at the same time you usually wake up every morning. You will notice that your day will begin on a positive note and you will be filled with more energy to begin a new day.

9. Today, buy a few candies and distribute them to at least 5 people. If someone asks you why you are distributing them, say because you are Happy!

True joy comes from giving, no matter how insignificant the gift is. If you feel like doing something unusually nice today, you can go about in your neighborhood or in your workplace and distribute candy to a few people.

If they ask you the reason for it, simply tell them that you are happy today!

Do this with different people and note their reactions. They might look puzzled and amused in the beginning but your act will elicit a smile and a warm ‘Thank You’ from them.

Within each of us lives something Light, Bright, and Timeless that wants to grant us our true wish. And what is this wish? In a word, it is to have a life that is free, uncluttered by self-compromising acts, and full of love. But the secret heart of this wish, upon which all of our other hopes depend, is to live without fear.

What does it take to live fearlessly? To realize such a Truth requires the highest order of honest self-discovery, followed by earnest actions based in higher awareness. So, let’s take the first step.

How many of us feel frustrated with life, with ourselves, with others, on almost a daily basis? Most of us will admit the truth of this — how, in any given moment, depending upon how things are going, we feel ourselves blocked, incapable, unable, not strong or wise enough in some way to win from life what we wish.

But, what we must discover, if we are to recover our right to live fearlessly, is that the real root of this frustration is not to be found in what the world seems to deny or withhold from us. The real root of our frustration in life is that we know, intuitively, that we are not meant to live with the constant sense of limitation that we do. To understand this important idea we must get right down to fundamentals.

Most of us know that whenever we fall into despair, lose our temper, or relive some past painful regret, we have lost possession of ourselves; we know that negative states limit our freedom because, in their dark “presence,” even our natural power of making proper choices is put to the test. And if our choices in such moments are (at least) in part produced by these self-limiting states, then how can what limits us help to free us of anything? It’s obvious: they cannot. They are the source of our problem, not its solution! What are we to do?

We need true self-knowledge, beginning with a whole new understanding of what it really means to live without limits. What is limitless in life — that which is without end within us — is our God-given potential to transcend limitation. Let’s take a simple example:

Those of us who have ever done some work on strengthening the physical conditioning of our body know that at one point or another it will tell us, “Enough! No more!” We know, by the pain or discomfort we feel, that it is saying it has reached a certain limit beyond which it does not want to go. But, in the same moment, experience knows how the body always complains when it doesn’t want to go further than it’s used to going. So, knowing this pain is just part of what must be paid in order grow stronger, we ignore the “warning” and push on to achieve the higher result we seek. Why do we make this choice? Because we understand, ahead of time, that this limit we have reached is only a temporary one; it is not the end of what it is possible for us to do.

Now, can we see this discovery must hold true regardless of whatever “body” it is in which we encounter such limitation — be it physical, psychological, or spiritual? When we reach the point where parts of us start to feel some kind of pain, some discomfort, it’s not that there isn’t more we could do; no, what limits us here is what we are afraid to go through at that moment.

What makes this kind of fear so powerful? The answer may be hard to believe: Fear’s power over us is nothing more than the way it causes us to forget the truth of ourselves, which is that we are created to eternally transcend the limits of our present nature, to transform who and what we have been in the very moment it ceases to serve the Good of us. But, because we have forgotten this, because we are asleep to its power in us, we are compelled to search for — find, and then believe in — “powers” outside of ourselves that always end up betraying us in our hour of need.

Actualizing our spiritual right to live without fear is not a question of achieving something. It begins with choosing to end a relationship with that which has never been true. So, it isn’t a questions of “What do I do?” but “What must I bring an end to?” Hence, the Christ’s saying: “Whoever shall lose his life shall gain it.”

Here now, for your study and consideration, are three common false beliefs whose unquestioned socially accepted convention serves to both frustrate and limit our natural right to be fearless. Also included are three new actions to take to start living fearlessly.

First of the fear-producing false beliefs: We must prepare — in advance — for everything that might happen to us. The world says it is wise to worry, to stress ourselves over every eventuality, regardless of personal cost to our health, family, or friends. Recall here Christ’s admonition: “Take no thought for the morrow.” The truth is, the more we prepare to be fearless, the more afraid we become!

Here’s the new action to find the fearless life: We must learn what it means to meet every moment awake to what it wants to give to us, instead of living from a fearful imagination that is forever telling us what we stand to lose should we step into the unknown moment before us.

Second of the fear-producing false beliefs: Before we can make those real changes in our lives, the ones that will bring us the freedom we seek, we must first secure the approval of others for our actions. Most of us don’t realize how dependent we are on the approval of others, and how we weigh our life choices on scales that not only belong to others, but that are broken as well.

Here’s the new liberating action: We must learn to detect and reject those unconscious parts of us that would have us believe the freedom for which we long can be found through any kind of popular consensus.

Third of the fear-producing false beliefs: Before we can make — and then act upon — those new decisions needed to give new (and upward) direction to our lives, we must have our own approval. If we observe our thoughts closely, each time we consider striking a long-overdue blow for our freedom, we will see they only give us their consent after having compared our proposed action to what may become of us if we take it.

But here’s the truth and its new fearless action: Who we have been has no interest in helping us shake loose of its inherent limitations. To see the truth of this is to walk away from fear born of negative imagination, and all forms of psychological fear are nothing other than the dark spawn of negative imagination.

Here is one last encouraging, fear-busting fact. The Source of our True Self is Love-in-action; and since Love transforms whatever it touches, any limitation can be transcended given our willingness to test this truth: Our True Self is created to neither serve, nor believe in anything other than the Living Light that is fearlessness itself. Prove this truth to yourself, and you will know its powers.

Hello and welcome back to the Tools for Detoxification series.  In part 1 we explored the concept that when a person says, “I am ready for change”, the body says “Yippeee.. I CAN FINALLY HEAL!” (translation:  I can finally let go of all of the junk I’ve been holding onto.)  Since the human body is an incredible healing machine, when given the support it needs, will heal itself, since all healing comes from within.  Letting go of what we are not (toxins, accumulated waste, toxic emotional thoughts, destructive behaviors, etc) is a process called cleansing or detoxification.

Part 1 focused on the Skin, Respiratory Tract and Lymphatic System.  This issue, Part 2 will focus on the GI Tract, Liver and Kidneys.  Part 3 will bring in detoxification via the Emotional Body.

As a recap:  Toxins accumulate from a variety of reasons including but not limited to: stress, the use of antibiotics; the misuse of alcohol; improper diet including a high intake of refined wheat, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, too much of, or a lack of protein; and a lack of stomach acid.  On a physical level, the body will eliminate toxins via the skin, the respiratory tract, and the lymphatic system (all in part 1); as well as the GI or gastrointestinal tract which includes the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small and large intestine (bowel line) and rectum; via the liver and via the kidneys.

The use of an enema, colema, or colonic will assist in bowel or colon care and cleansing.  An enema uses approximately 1-2 quarts of fluid, is held within the colon prior to evacuation, and lasts about 30 minutes.  A colema uses five gallons of fluid, evacuation is at will, and lasts about 30 mins.  A colonic lasts sixty to seventy minutes, uses between 30-50 gallons of fluid with evacuation expressed at will.  ALL of these processes are very gentle, nurturing and cleansing.  Here are a few combinations and their benefits.

Enema/Colema Solution Additives:

* Organic Coffee~ is one of the best additives to assist the detoxification of the LIVER.  As an additive, coffee is best in the morning but can be used in the afternoon.  Be Aware of the caffeine affect on the body.  Make one cup of very strong Organic Coffee.  Example would be to put the amount of coffee used to brew a pot, only use 10 ounces of water.  To prepare your enema, mix one cup of very strong coffee with 1-2 quarts of warm water.

* Clay Water in the form of liquid Bentonite Clay assists the bowel in releasing compacted particles.  This makes a more effective cleanser because it attracts a number of undesirable chemicals and removes them from the body.  Use a Clay water enema/colema only at night.  To prepare use 1/4 to ½ cup of Clay water with 1-2 quarts of warm water for the enema or with 5 gallons of water for a colema.

* Garlic ~ is an excellent additive if you think you might have worms or other intestinal parasites.  Even if you do not have intestinal parasites or are unsure, it is a great bowel cleanser.  Nothing lives in the presence of garlic. DO NOT MIX GARLIC with CLAY Water.  To prepare the garlic additive, place four clean and unpeeled garlic cloves in a blender with one cup of water.  Liquefy the garlic.  Strain and add the garlic water to the enema/colema water.

* Flaxseed Tea ~ is also known as linseed is high in linolenic acid and the most important of the essential fatty acids.  When placed in water, brought to a boil and allowed to steep, flaxseed releases a water-soluble mucilaginous gel with excellent lubricative properties that are very soothing to the digestive tract.  To make Flaxseed Tea, bring 2 quarts of water with 4 TBS of whole Flaxseeds to a boil.  Turn off the stove, cover and allow it to cool.  Add one cup of strained tea in the enema/colema water.  This Tea is excellent to drink, strained or unstrained, throughout the day.

* Liquid Chlorophyll ~ is a wonderful additive for the bowel, is soothing and reduces swelling, inflammation, and pain.  It cleanses, disinfects, and deodorizes too.  Research lists liquid chlorophyll as the greatest natural cleanser and detoxifier.  To use add one teaspoon of liquid chlorophyll for every two quarts of water.  Combining liquid chlorophyll with flaxseed tea is especially effective.

The liver has over 1 1/2 quarts of blood flowing through it per minute and is the body’s primary filter and detoxification site for the blood.  The body can survive without a colon or stomach but not without a liver.  The liver uses over 12 percent of our total energy supply and has special cells which filter and destroy foreign bacteria, fungus, viruses, mycoplasmas and cancerous cells.  If the bowel is unsuccessful at eliminating harmful substances, they are re-absorbed into the blood.  The toxins are then sent to the liver, putting a huge burden on the liver.  The liver has many other jobs to perform such as:

*Fat, protein and carbohydrate metabolism

*Hormone and foreign chemical metabolism

*Carbohydrate, vitamin and mineral storage

* Assimilation and storage of fat soluble vitamins

* Bile formation and

* Synthesizing blood proteins

As you can see, adding extra work to the liver is not a good idea.  Toxins in our body can accumulate in the subcutaneous fat layer under our skin and in the liver.  Since the liver is our body’s major waste disposal system it is important to enhance liver function.  When I am working with someone, our first line of defense is to incorporate the Liver-Dump.  Our second line of defense is to cleanse the liver with an enema, colemea or colonic.  Below I include a 3 day Liver-Dump.  If you are committed to a longer cleansing process (10-15 days) you can explore the Tissue Regeneration cleanse by Dr Bernard Jensen; Thisilyn Herbal Digestive Sweep by Natures Way; numerous options are available form Garden of Life; or you can contact me and we can co-create a nurturing cleanse designed for YOU.  The point is to cleanse the liver.

This particular Liver-Dump can be done for three consecutive days and is to be done on an empty stomach.  I have my clients take 10 days off before repeating this process.  The ingredients include:  2 TBS Olive Oil + 2 TBS Pure Lemon Juice (not from concentrate) + a pinch of Cayenne Pepper.  Directions: First thing in the morning, on an empty stomach, mix ingredients together in a small portion (about ¼ cup) of warm water and drink.  You can then go take a shower or prepare your breakfast.  Your liver will usually dump on the third day.  If you would like to dump the Gallbladder at the same time, add in one clove of crushed garlic.

I have many people ask for my Fat-Flush drink recipe.  This mix will also allow you to flush your kidneys.  I suggest drinking 2-3 of these containers daily with the remainder of their fluid intake coming from pure water.  You can drink this hot or cold.

Basic FAT-Flush recipe:
32 oz of Water
2 TBS of Bragg’s Apple Cider Vinegar (Bragg’s has the Mother within)
2 TBS Pure Lemon Juice
1 dropper full of Green Tea Extract
liquid Stevia to taste (I alternate between Orange Valencia and Lemon Drop depending on the flavor I desire to create)

I personally make my Fat-Flush drink by the gallon.  If you desire to do likewise the combination is ¼ cup Bragg’s ACV + ¼ cup Pure Lemon Juice + 1 squeegee GTE + liquid Stevia to taste.  Each ingredient within the Fat-Flush drink has a purpose.

* BRAGGS ACV:  provides energy, cleans the liver, helps detoxify the body and boosts the immune system.  Fat is simply toxins so this is flushing out the fat.

* Pure LEMON Juice: dumps the liver and built up toxins

*  GTE ~ Green Tea extract: provides energy, is an antioxidant, boosts your immune system and cranks up your metabolism allowing your body to burn fat (yeah baby)

*  Stevia: sweetens the fat-flush mix and is the number 1 herb to balance Insulin.  Stevia will not elevate your blood sugar levels.

Any time you combine Olive Oil with Lemon Juice you will assist the liver in releasing toxins.  Be creative with those ingredients as you make salad dressings or toppings.

By now you have a greater understanding of what I meant when I said I could talk or write about detoxification for a while.  Hopefully all of this information will have value for you.  My suggestion is to print all of this information out so you can refer back to it.  With these notes you have a better understanding that by detoxifying the body, we can optimize the well being of our healthy cells.  We optimize the well-being of our immune system and provide an avenue for alignment, balance, and harmony with who we truly are.  In Part 3 we will explore some wonderful tools on how to detoxify the Emotional Body.  So I encourage you to come back.

As always, if I can be of service to you on your nutritional path, I am a phone call or an email away.

PEACE during your cleansing process + GOOD WILL and harmony within your cells and being + JOY to you as you step into all that you are.  Much Love awaits you.
