Comments for A Notebook On Living Druidry http://druidry.radicalpolytics.org Sacred relationship, higher attunement, self-transformation Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:06:16 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 Comment on toxifying my detox process by darkdaughta http://druidry.radicalpolytics.org/2009/11/10/toxifying-my-detox-process/comment-page-1/#comment-773 darkdaughta Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:06:16 +0000 http://druidry.radicalpolytics.org/?p=92#comment-773 JWL, What Lisa Marie wrote here is so wonderful: "But if, in the middle of this process, you say, fuck it, and reach for an inhaler, you’re reiterating the need to panic, you’re validating the fears the little one within you has about not trusting (the world, itself, big people around him, etc.). I say no more mixed messages! Trust is what’s missing here. Fear and love cannot exist within the same healing space. Let yourself love. Forever in your corner… Me" She is able to fearlessly express her observations as someone who is so close to you while lovingly letting you know that she is beside you in this struggle. I was completely ignited by her mentioning your little one. We all have them. They are us. They never left us. Sometimes, ofttimes they have much more say and control than we realize. I appreciate the way both you and Lisa talk about this detoxification process, this healing process, this body reclamation process that is also very much an emotional internal rewiring process as well. I appreciate this holistic approach to dealing with your asthma and also with your weight loss. I think I tend to concentrate on the emotional but live in a household where pieces around food are not consistent implemented. Utilizing natural remedies are something I'd like to once more incorporate more of. All in time. Thank you so much for sharing some of what's happening for you, JWL. It's real. It's human. It's encouraging. It's raw...pardon the pun. I couldn't resist. :) Hugs. JWL, What Lisa Marie wrote here is so wonderful:

I do remember Mom and Dad trying to teach me not to take the inhaler too much.

Just want to make sure I'm getting your point. Could you change that? Also, I'm really interested in what you're saying in these last 4 paragraphs. What you're dealing with here are years of programming: Mom and Dad drilled into your head to NOT exercise AND to reach for your inhaler. So, your poor lungs are underutilized. When they're underutilized AND addicted to drugs, they're not going to strengthen. So, when you turn the tables, introduce better, lung-strengthening foods (I also call these medicinals), AND start using homeopathics (medicines that work WITH symptoms... unlike allopathic meds that work AGAINST the symptoms), your lungs are like, DUDE! What the HELL?!? What I would advocate is NOT to screw around with the messages you're sending your body. On one hand, you're saying, "Hey, lungs/heart chakra, you're safe. I'm taking care of you. This is a new method that can feel a little scary, but I've done a lot of research and would like to work WITH you. If we can break this addiction, just think how much more AIR we can take in, just think how much more LOVE we can let in!"

You bring Druidry into it in an insightful and eloquent manner. This year-and-a-day is beginning to pickup momentum for me as well. I think next year, we should wait until the fall equinox to begin this dedication. We would be making our vows with a full store house and with a sense of having caught our breath after the craziness of summer. Also it seems we always pick up momentum as Samhain approaches. Anyway, thanks so much for blogging about your healing process. I am sharing this link with others so hopefully you will have a lot of readers. Be well and many blessings, Snowhawke /|\ Jim,

But what I don't miss is how I feel when I eat only cooked foods. I'm at the point where there is an obvious difference in the life-energy I feel when I eat. When I eat raw food, I feel more like I'm nourishing my body, not only with more chemical nutrients (enzymes, vitamins, etc) but also with chi (life energy etc). I've done energy work for years, but never bothered paying attention to the chi that is in our food, water, air. It's definitely there, and when I consume food/water/air that is higher in chi, it pays off. There’s no doubt that I miss the experience of eating some of my old cooked food favorites.

Not having that would be a departure for me. But at the same time, I do like the taste of raw fruits especially avocados, strawberries, mushrooms, zucchini. How do you decide what foods to combine, JWL?

They feel like poison to me now." JWL, I think that the conditioning we receive around food is of massive importance. I am still unpacking all of the miseducation I received over the years especially around quantity and food as recreation rather than as nutritious, healing fuel for my body. Thanks for writing about your journey and also for sharing the blog url. I'm up. Can't sleep. Think I'll read some more. “I no longer crave these old, addictive foods.
