Hi all - recently upped the ante with my raw food intake, and have been experiencing lots of detox symptoms - primarily emotional! Am interested in hearing others' experience with these kind of symptoms, how long they lasted, how you coped!, any general information from your own time would be awesome! thanks!
Hi Whitney...I am going through the exact same thing.....infact I was driving home thinking about the same questions. I have been going all raw for about two weeks now...and before that I was cleansing......I hav been all raw before for two years....and at the end of the two years I began emotionally detoxing and just could not cope, or understand what was happening to me.
Now I get it....so better out the in right? My symptoms have been spaciness, internal heat, dark cloud like feelings, and lots of tears....but I know I am moving huge amounts of energy, and transforming. I have become less social and more sensiitve, and selective.... but I am sure all of this will pass....I hope sooner then later........The things I am doing that seem to be helping are.....drinking warm water throuhout the day to help th emotions pass through, going to Bikram yoga atleaste 5 times a week. Taking sea salt baths to cleane the energy field and draw out negetive psychic energy...taking an adrenal support for the nervous system.....and breathing whenever I feel overwhelmed.I hope others have more to share, but this is what I have come up with. And don't forget that the earth is also emotionally detoxing right now, and you could be experiencing what I call collective detox. Have you been experincing kundalini movement I really have lateley
Yes, we are all in this together
Thank you for sharing,
Blessings,
Nina
I help people through these transitions professionally. That said, the only suggestions I can offer here are:
1. What's worked for you in the past to deal with emotional issues?
2. Go hang out at Border's for an afternoon. There's plenty of great shelf-help available ;-)
okay -- one other idea (it all really depends on the details) but a general suggestion would also be a good colonic. We store emotions in all cells of our body and getting the old sh*t out, literally, can be emotionally releasing as well.
"spaciness, internal heat, dark cloud like feelings, and lots of tears.... I have become less social and more sensiitve, and selective"
All this sounds very familiar, this is my 5th raw day. I'm also de-toxing from tea and coffee and sugar and additives and everything that goes along with the SAD, so I don't know how long it will take; I expected some physical symptoms, but the emotional aspect has really surprised me. But the change in the weather from walm & balmy autumn to cold & wet together with the lack of sun here (in the UK) is co-incidental and sure doesn't help.
Hi family.
I've been eating 100% raw for the past 40 days. Before that, I was about 70% raw for a few years, and I struggled with bulimia (purging the cooked food that I ate).
No purging, no cooked food for 40 days. My cheeks are slightly puffy ...
im confused. matt monarch swears by regular colonic hydrotherapy. its his no.1 raw tip, didn't think it could be dangerous but now it kind of makes sense. enemas seem much more natural in comparison.
I've heard great, great things about Living Light Culinary Arts Institute in Fort Bragg, CA. I know that isn't really in the Los Angeles area, but it's still in CA and I believe they provide students the option to stay in their 'Living Light Inn'....
The way I see it is that generally people who label themselves are confident of the path they have chosen while,also generally, people don't don't label aren't quite as sure if what they're following is the right way to go.
