Living Rawesome

Colonics (Not for a weak stomach)

Now I am on the journey of cleansing my body. I know that eating organic, living, vegan food is a way to clean out my body, but I also know that doing that alone is not enough. I decided that I was ready for my first Colonic. I made an appointment with a Colonic Specialist. She is retired and does it out of her house. At first I was leary of colonics but the more I read about it, the more I knew that I needed a series. I had my good friend call and set up an appointment. I went down on a Friday after work. I was scared but when she opened the door she had a bright smile and I felt so close to her presence that I connected with her right away. She lead me into the room in her house that was set up for colonics. There was a curtain leading to the bed. A bathroom was in this little room also. The room somewhat resembled a closet, but I became comfortable. So she asked me questions about my history and my journey to health. I explained why I was there and that I wanted to be as clean as possible. She understood what I meant. I have never had regular bowel movements since my first pregnancy. She of course asked me how many bowel movements I had a day, I told her if I’m lucky I have 1. Some days I miss a bowel movement. So she did say, “oh then honey you need to do colonics!” The first one was a great experience I know it sounds weird that something as intrusive as a colonic would be great but it was. She talked to me the whole time about raw vegan living and I told her what I do for a living. She became excited about the pies and yummy raw stuff I make. I let her know my whole history about turning to a vegan lifestyle.
Of course I questioned if I should be doing these at all. It became such a spiritual experience for me. After I was done I decided to read a magazine while I waited for her to finish with my friend. Yes I did talk him into getting one. His experience was not as fulfilling as mine. But he did it. Ya gotta give him that:)
I sat down and decided that I would look at her magazines that lay on her table. I was excited to see that she had a yoga journal magazine sitting on her desk. I was wondering why she only had one and why she would keep such an old one. It was December 2008. I began to wonder if she had it out just because of the people that may come to her house and their taste of magazines may include yoga journals. So there I was knocking the magazine and wondering if this lady was legit. So I started reading it and like all the other yoga journals it was great information. I was just fingering through the pages and looking at her back yard which backs up to a forest. Her pool was sparkling that day and I felt so at peace with myself. I asked my Creator, “Am I really doing the right thing for my body?” Welp it didn’t take long for me to get my answer. I turned a few more pages and there I saw my clue. Trevor Hall, my favorite music artist, of all time was in the magazine:) He is a newer artist and I have never even heard him on the radio and there he was in the magazine. I thought, “Wow God you do deliver!” I read the whole article, when I was done she came out and of course I was beaming! She asked what was making me smile and I explained it all to her. She smiled and said, “I’m so happy for you, you can have the magazine.” So of course I hugged her and told her thank you and I would see her again. I continued with 3 more colonics. My series is now over, but I will be going back.

After receiving the series, I feel so much more focused now. I am dedicating this year and many years to come to cleaning out my body, physically and emotionally. After getting the series of colonics. I really have been trying to be very gentle on my body and love it more than ever. I want to cherish the being that I am. I really do feel so different. It is hard to describe. The best way to describe it is, I want to live each and every day with thankfulness and gratitude to my Creator and the person he has made and me and who He intends me to be:) I am focusing on the present and not thinking about the past and what damage I have done to my temple. I know that from now on I will do the best that I can for ME. I am more focused on prayer and meditation. I am doing yoga more and loving it again! Each and every day I am trying to find the balance that I need. I cannot find balance with out God Above!
