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.
Lol, I'd forgotten about that - Is it still running?
Also Ab Fab, Kingdom, DOC MARTIN! Father Ted! And then there's the chat shows XD Friday Night Lights, Jonathan Ross, TOP GEAR! And then... Nevermind the Buzzcocks. Such a great show. Oh yea, an...
yeah, the wire is a real slow-burner....quite the opposite of 24 that i also really loved
i have been without a tv for almost 3 years so i'm just getting into all of this
might check out rome but not until i get through some more of the above
I am suprised more people on this site aren't interested. But also I didn't know how to imbed that video- i copied the embed code but it wouldn't work.
LOVE IT, Greengoddess! You tell those demons! I am actually enjoying getting to know them. They are not that bad if you just give em' a little attention and acknowledgment. They seem to be getting ready to leave.....at ANY moment now. I am startin...
I'm new to this lifestyle, and I'm enjoying the benefits of it thus far, both mental and physical...the spiritual will follow i'm sure. Anyway, I've been in a relationship for 4 years now and now that i'm ready for a massive change for the positiv...
The Wire is a good one.
Am I the only one who got into Rome? I really enjoyed that series.
Six Feet Under was great too. HBO puts out some really good television I think.
thanks lemoned
yep i understood what you said about the left and right foot.
coordination is also something that i have to achieve in order to ride my horse well
i guess i am gonna continue with this jumping rope
thanks danny, i wanna try different moves while jumping rope
i meant yoga practices has less breath rate and less hart beat rate, but while jumping over the rope the heart beat increases and even the breath rate - i don't know
hahaha we are not ...
because fasting is absence of intake and eating fruit is....eating fruit
eating fruit (or anything else) would not allow the body to go into the fasting state
Yeah, cuz Bear ain't worried about trying to survive. He's surrounded by a full film crew and sleeps at the Ramada or the Hilton at night. It's easy to make jokes when you're not worried about dying.
Not saying his show ain't entertaining, but do...
