Re: Update, my reaction to others responses to me
vernal...I've been reading your posts, and all posts here as I love this place. I've started a post a few times and couldn't find the right words. hope I get it this time.
I think what you are doing, and others that are doing these programs...is truely remarkable. it is not easy to do, the physical parts of it are some of the challenge, and the emotional healing is another. it is one thing to know we're going to be challenged by our demons, it is something else to experience it. my estimation is few people will go to these places, at their core. be proud of yourself.
I don't have suggestions on it or how to emerge through it better, in fact, often I fail myself at reaching where I need. I try to remember to just be as forgiving to myself as I can...do as much as I can. to me, it seems you're doing A LOT. and your writing is honest and heartfelt, I thought you were female. lol. I mean that as a compliment.
cleansing will bring out very difficult emotions,the things we hide from. actually, when I've juice fasted, the emotions and facing my day with how I was feeling emotionally was far more difficult than the hunger. the two together and I've only made it 14 days. you're doing good.
there was a time a couple years ago I was using oregano oil in frequent dose, it was killing off something (I do not know what to this day, I think microbial parasite). I felt aweful physically, dizzy, weak, sick, chaotic even, my mind was racing. but the emotions, as strong as the physical part... I cried like a baby for hours, all sorts of demons emerging from my past.
it's life changing doing these things, and it takes time as well.
and oh, if you want to talk about money mistakes and misguided energy and time, I can almost guarantee I've out done you there!
take care...the healthier you get the better the emotional aspects will be.
