Staying Healthy with the Seasons – Spring Cleansing

By Emilia Flor

Spring is the ideal time to cleanse. A cleanse is a process of removing toxins from the body by eliminating certain foods and environmental toxins for an extended length of time. This practice allows a deep, physiological rest of the digestive organs, and the energy saved goes into self-healing and self-repairing. By eliminating obstructions, by cleansing and purifying the intestines, the blood, and the cells, we can overcome many of our physical ills or handicaps, as well as receive a boost in energy.

Did you ever wonder how you would feel if you took a short vacation from the foods and bad habits that might be draining your energy? There was a time when I tended to walk around in a sluggish, semi-productive allergic state – and I didn’t even realize how low my energy was. Soon into my first cleanse, I began experiencing a more energized way of being.

Cleansing can be a terrific source of vitality and a great healing tool. A good cleanse can remove congestion and toxins. For those of you who are in mid-life and find yourself slowing down more than you want, a cleanse can actually remove some of the signs of aging and provide other health benefits, including weight loss, improved blood sugar control, and decreased inflammation. I have many positive personal and client anecdotes.

Globally, we face a vulnerability of human health that has never been so severe. This situation stems from our failure to rest our immune systems. We are locked into consumer behavior, with a constant intake of food, energy drinks, and everything else we can think of to pursue a sense of health. We can forget to pause and to take that moment to breathe.

Some think this concept of reducing the load on the digestive system to improve functioning in other parts of the body is a new science. Actually, it is a science that was embedded in ancient human behavior. Nearly every religion on the planet has spoken to the importance of intermittent fasting or eliminating specific foods throughout the year at different times in recognition of celebrations or spiritual events, or in recognition of the importance of mindfulness and meditation or prayer.

As detoxing or cleansing or fasting starts to shift our consciousness, we realize we are actually tapping into an old consciousness, an old awareness that goes back many thousands of years of human experience. It is good to acknowledge that eliminating to repair has existed since the beginning of mankind.

I encourage you to embark on your own version of this journey. I believe there’s a training process that’s necessary here. The training process begins with the psychological experience of building enough knowledge and awareness so that we feel confident going into this experience of letting go. The exciting thing about cleansing is it’s accessible to everybody. We all have the capacity to benefit. It provides an opportunity to give rest and to set a new foundation towards reprogramming the body as a nutrient delivery system.

Overall, I have to say that the fasting, cleansing, detoxification process is one of the most effective and easy-to-use healing tools I have found. It is an important component for the prevention of degenerative diseases, and a key to transformational and evolutionary medicine and healing.
