Veg juicing & Emotional Detox

Cathie Jones asked about using non-organic veg for juicing. It is of course always better to use organic to avoid taking extra toxins on board. But given the choice of juicing with non-organic veg and not juicing at all, I'll go for the non-organic juice every time.

However as soon as the nettles are up, then they will be the main green ingredient in my juice. The sting goes when you juice them, and this is the ultimate FRESH, WILD, RAW, NUTRIENT RICH vegetable available to us all!

EMOTIONAL DETOX
Cathie also mentioned missing hot chocolate. She say's "it's that comforting warmth in the solar plexus, again emotional...not sure what to replace these things with. I know the best idea is to feel whatever it is and not comfort it with food".

We must be gentle with ourselves. I think of it like this. Our body is like a pool of water. When we detox the water clears and we can see all that resides at the bottom of the pool, all our emotional issues are brought into focus, and this can be uncomfortable, and sometimes too much.

The first thing to do is to quietly observe what is happening within us and most importantly to do so without judgement of any sort. The troubled sides of each of us are generally based in the emotions like fear, guilt, shame and grief and must be handled gently and with love. 

Finding a way of healing these deep issues is important. The non-judgmental observation of them can sometimes be enough, but more often than not a therapy to help us shift the energy is required. As you may know meridian tapping techniques are a personal favourite. 

Whatever you do remember to be gentle with these delicate parts of yourself. Mostly they are parts us stuck in the energy of some sort of trauma from earlier in our lives. So it is like denying that young child the hot chocolate that normally calms and placates her. Don't leave her out in the cold, be kind and loving like a mother to the child within. 

I have had some difficult emotional stuff coming up myself this past 10 days. I had a massage in the middle of last week, and body work, like detoxing pushes issues to the fore. I felt very uncomfortable for a few days, then with tapping cleared a big issue that I hadn't been able to properly access before. It was a huge relief and I was filled with an overwhelming feeling of gratitude at having the opportunity to heal something so deep and life determining. It takes some practice to be able to hold yourself in the discomfort zone and do the work without someone else's help. So don't go it alone if you are not ready!

Above all remember - never judge yourself just observe what is happening within you. If we practice self-observation in this way we slowly be surely gain more self awareness and a greater level of consciousness arises within us.
