A difficult concept to grasp when undergoing a cleansing regimen is the detoxification symptoms that occur along the way. These unpleasant side effects are merely a necessary part of the healing process that we must endure so that we can experience the true benefits of a clean, healthy body.

The turbulence that our bodies experience during detoxification can be scary-- even horrifying at times. And if the detox occurs too rapidly, the symptons can be extreme and severe. So severe sometimes that death would be a welcome relief. This is what's called the healing crisis. As the body eliminates the accumulated toxins and waste materials that have been stored for so long, it is natural that this will cause a reaction. Basically, we temporarily relive past conditions and illnesses as they are released. The good news is, once eliminated and released, we are free of future problems and diseases that arise from a toxicated body.

Detoxification can be induced through dietary changes such as going vegan or raw; water or juice fasting; and herbal cleanses. The more toxins that have been accumulated, the sicker and more miserable you will be during a detox cleanse.

A healing crisis is usually identified by:

intense joint or muscle pain
severe headaches
fevers and chills
skin eruptions (acne, pimples, rashes)
insomnia
cramps
fatigue
mood swings
emotional-rollercoaster-type behavior

The fact that must be faced is that there will be some degree of discomfort as the body rids itself of the poisons and toxins that it has been burdened with for so long.

The symptoms are only indicators that everything is working properly and the discomfort is temporary. If severe symptoms occur for more than 3 days or so, you can get some relief by slowing the detox:

Drink lots of clean, pure water, get some sunshine and fresh air, slow down and get plenty of rest, reduce dosages of herbs if taking teas/capsules

Remember, sometimes things have to get worse before they can get better. It's a difficult time but don't give up. You'll feel so much better when it's over.

You will have faced the challenge and won a major battle. When you are strong for your body, your body will be strong for you!

Words cannot describe how this victory will impact you on many levels - physically, spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically.

So if you can hold on through the turbulent times and rough patches you'll soon be greeted with radiant health and new possibilities.

When you begin to understand laws of abundance, you begin to understand that you are not constrained by the conditions of the economy or the amount of your present income. Your ability to increase your wealth, live in abundance, and have financial freedom is all based on your understanding of the universal laws that govern the flow of energy controlling your ability to turn potential into reality.

Yet there is more to creating abundance than simply placing an order and then sitting back to wait for it's delivery. You have to be giving something of value, adding to the flow, in order to make this work. When this is the case people are more than willing to pay for your contribution.

One of the easiest things you can do to reduce energy consumption in your home is to insulate walls, lofts, attics, and between-floor spaces. Do not assume that these areas were already insulated when you purchased your home, particularly if your home is over twenty years old. Have these areas inspected for proper insulation coverage, as well as to identify the type of insulation used. Some older types of insulation used materials that have since been deemed harmful to home environments, to your health, and to the world at large.

Let's say it's 7.25pm and you're going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job.

You're really tired, upset and frustrated.

Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home.

Unfortunately you don't know if you'll be able to make it that far.

You have been trained in CPR, but the guy who taught the course did not tell you how to perform it on yourself.
