I am in the middle of the Standard Process Purification Diet. I wanted to detoxify my body from a summer of fun and get ready for winter. In the past I have had difficulty doing cleanses. I have found myself to get quite emotional while doing a cleanse. There are a lot of attachments we have to eating, to getting what we want and getting it now (instant gratification) that it's easy to understand.
This is my 5th cleanse since I began working with Dr. John and I can tell you that it is getting easier! I have had very few cravings this time around. In the past, I have gotten a really bad headache when I start the cleanse that in the past lasted 3-4 days. This time, I had a mild headache that only lasted 1 day! Besides being a little bit tired, I have felt great! I am beginning to "get it" ... to realize how exactly I should be eating on a daily basis, the difference between excess and balance.
I have also experienced emotional cleansing as well. During my last NET (Neuro-Emotional Technique) session, I was able to connect to and process some really intense and deep emotional traumas and I have felt much lighter ever since. I have experienced a lot of anger for past hurts and present slights, but do not feel burdened by those emotions any longer. The liver is the organ that is most affected by anger, so it is appropriate that I do not feel so angry anymore. This cleanse has been so interesting and such an amazing step in my healing journey!
