Do you need a detox?

• Are you often tired ?
• Do you get headaches frequently ?
• Do you have hard time losing weight ?
• Are you bloated or retaining water ?
• Mental cloudiness ?
• Is you skin getting bad ?

If you answered “Yes” to more than three questions above there is a good chance your system experience a toxic overload.

Detoxing once or twice a year is often recommended as a solution.

Every day our bodies are exposed to toxins from the water we drink, the air we breathe and especially from the processed foods we eat. If our bodies get overwhelmed with toxins, our liver suffers and we start seeing the effect on our health: our skin is affected, we get tired, we retain water, get headaches, digestion problems, bad breath and find it especially hard to loose weight.

Researches have now discovered the biological cause of those stubborn pounds: toxic particles bind water in the body’s soft tissue and inhibit your metabolism from burning fat efficiently.

It definitely makes sense that we get tired and bloated from too many toxins from our foods and from our environment, but gaining weight and retaining water are not as obvious. Well, it is now scientifically proven that detoxifying our bodies helps to lose weight too.

Less weight, a brighter cleaner skin, means a more beautiful and healthier person.

Conclusion: to loose weight it may be necessary to cleanse your body first: Effective detox diet

Maybe like you, at some point in my life I had to look into alternative medicine remedies in order to get back to a healthy state.
I was tired first thing in the morning, I had stomach problems like bloating and frequent indigestion, joint pain. You know, the whole thing.

This is when I came across this quote from Mark Twain:

"A little starvation can really do more for the average sick man than can the best medicines and the best doctors. I do not mean a restricted diet; I mean total abstinence from food for one or two days. I speak from experience; starvation has been my cold and fever doctor for 15 years, and has accomplished a cure in all instances."

Jung personality types... with a twist

Carl Gustav Jung (1875 - 1961)

Jung's personality type theory divides the psyche into three parts. The first is the ego, which Jung identifies with the conscious mind. Closely related is the personal unconscious, which includes anything which is not presently conscious, but can be. The personal unconscious is like most people's understanding of the unconscious in that it includes both memories that are easily brought to mind and those that have been suppressed for some reason. But it does not include the instincts that Freud would have it include.

But then Jung adds the part of the psyche that makes his theory stand out from all others: the collective unconscious. You could call it your "psychic inheritance." It is the reservoir of our experiences as a species, a kind of knowledge we are all born with. And yet we can never be directly conscious of it. It influences all of our experiences and behaviours, most especially the emotional ones, but we only know about it indirectly, by looking at those influences.

by Paramhansa Yogananda, from East-West Magazine, Sept-Oct 1926

This article holds even more truth in nowadays America. So here you are ...

If Jesus were preaching today to an American audience, his message would not be, "Sell all ye have and give to the poor; Take no heed for the morrow, what ye shall eat, what ye shall put on." These and other beautiful sayings of Jesus could not be strictly applied in the West today.

These teachings were applicable to the East two thousand years ago, where climatic and social factors made it possible to live much more simply than is generally possible today. Then, a little labor would suffice to gain the necessities of life. Warm climate simplified the problem of clothing and housing. 

The Gayatri Mantra is one of the oldest known mantra. It originates from the Rig-Veda, a sacred text of India dating back almost 5,000 years.
The mantra produces a pure and rhythmical vibration which saturates the consciousness with peace and calm that enhances creativity and intuition.

A wonderful interpretation of the mantra is performed by Deva Premal and Miten.
