Emotional processing and emotional release bodywork are often overlooked, but did you know they are equally as important as focusing on diet, exercise, and cleansing in order to foster health and vitality? Here are some simple at-home emotional release concepts and de-stressing techniques to consider and explore.

You Are What You Accumulate: Physically & Emotionally

Your body exists in a state reflecting the accumulation of your choices and experiences. The emotional body is subject to the same principles and natural laws as the physical body. Eating a poor quality diet causes toxic residue to accumulate in your cells and tissues over time. As the body becomes overburdened by residue, symptoms or degenerative disease will develop as a result of the constant stress.

The same cause and effect relationship applies to your emotional body. Experiences trigger emotional responses, and if emotions are suppressed or denied they will accumulate and prevent you from having full access to who you are and how you feel. Eventually, the suppressed backlog of emotions will cause imbalances in the body in the form of trauma or illness.

It is important to create a support system for yourself through bodywork for emotional release and effective de-stressing techniques.

Favorite Bodywork & De-Stressing Techniques

• Meditation
There are many different methods and techniques of meditation for stress release. The core of a meditation practice is the ability to stay present. Use it as a way to practice staying present in your body and feeling your emotions. Not only can it help de-stress your mind and body, meditation is also great for your immune system health.

• Make Sound And Be Active
We are electro-magnetic beings. All of our cells are suspended in liquid, vibrating in motion at the same frequency as the earth. As animals, we increase our vibration through sound and physical movement. Increasing circulation and lymphatic drainage is an excellent emotional release bodywork de-stressing technique.

• Release Judgments
Judging ourselves creates emotional pain. Allow yourself to accept how you feel. No emotions are “wrong.” Accepting how you feel creates the opportunity for compassion and understanding towards yourself and others, providing much needed emotional release.

• Support Your Body With Colonic Cleansing
A body filled with poisons will be prone to feelings of constant stress, overwhelmedness, fatigue, and depression. Removing old, accumulated waste through consistent colonic cleansing unburdens your organs and circulatory system. A fundamental de-stressing technique, colonic cleansing provides helpful support for your body to be able to handle emotional release bodywork. Find out how you can benefit from colonic cleansing in NYC at LYT!

Raw Food Results – Juice Fasting Correctly For Weight Loss

Juicing for weight loss yields rapid results in the short-term, but it may surprise you to know juice fasting combined with colonics will help you achieve your long-term weight loss and health goals. In addition to keeping the excess weight off, juicing will help you transition to a healthier, nutrient-rich diet and eliminate bad food cravings.

               * Drink approximately 1 gallon of liquid per day during a fast: Composed of a 50/50 ratio of  vegetable juice and water. See the diagram below for the benefits of drinking a substantial amount of water!

Colonics Are Necessary When Juicing For Weight Loss

WHAT IS COLONIC IRRIGATION:

Most people believe the body can “do it all” on its own. If this were true, how do we explain shampooing our hair, swabbing our ears, brushing our teeth, and washing our bodies? You can see where we’re going here. What is colonic irrigation, you ask?  In a colonic treatment, the colon is alleviated of impacted matter that has not left the body on its own free will and is potentially destined to be the cause of a wide range of infirmity.

We want you to understand that any negative health symptoms you experience are typically a direct result of impacted matter, and even the now loosened up matter, still residing in your body! (Stay tuned to future posts about the spiritual connection to the manifestation of illness.)

THE POWER OF COLONICS

Now, tell us, aren’t you curious?

Figuring out how to stop sugar cravings may seem like an impossible task but with guidance and knowledge you can reach your goals. The reason a raw food detox diet helps is simple. (And by the way, you don’t have to live 100% raw to get the benefits.) A raw food detox diet allows your body to heal from eating patterns and addictions as well as soothes your nervous system.

Imagine that you are an athlete and your game has been compromised. You would seek the assistance of a coach to help change the pattern or weakness thus improving your game. In this case, your frazzled nervous system throws your game off. A raw food detox diet is the coach that helps you become very aware of your habits, supports a change in them, and develops a better game plan for you. 

How to Stop Sugar Cravings And Heal Your Nervous System 

Your adrenal glands are located on top of your kidneys and secrete the hormones epinephrine and adrenaline. These hormones function heavily in the metabolism of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates that are contained in most sweets. When we consume an abundance of foods containing refined sugar, the adrenals have to work overtime to best metabolize these unfavorable food combinations. This excessive work on the adrenal glands’ part is exhausting, leaving us too depleted to handle even the minimal stresses of life. This is when the rage and exhaustion take over and the nervous system behaves like a nervous Nelly. You may feel additional levels of:

* Panic

* Anxiety

* Weakness/Inability To Find And Maintain Your Stamina

* Pain

* Exhaustion

Conquering sugar cravings means rehabilitating your body. You have to cease the input of the poisons it demands. This is where a LYT therapist can be of support. Our food combining chart will get you started!

Sugar Cravings: Other Causes? 

Everyone’s body is different. The following underlying issues may contribute to your cravings: 

1. Candida - This is a yeast that grows within the intestinal environment due to an imbalance in your flora, fermentation from poor eating choices, and irregular bowel movements. Remember, mold, fungus, and yeast can not thrive in a clean and balanced environment.

2. Sugar Addiction in the Brain – Sugar activates the same receptors that are activated by morphine and heroin. Get it!! 

3. Emotional Stress Leads To Craving Sugar Eating sugar can give us temporary “pleasure” to hide any emotional pain.

Raw Food Detox + LYT Colonics NYC = A Rehabilitated Body! 

So you’ve read this and you are considering cleaning up your act but you feel overwhelmed with this information and the food combining chart. No worries, one step at a time. Raw foods will begin the cleansing process by loosening waste and the residue from your old eating habits. Guess what? If you are not releasing these loosened demons they will run amuck throughout your bloodstream creating all kinds of detox symptoms like, fatigue, acne, rashes, etc. This is where colon hydrotherapy, can assist in your detox of sugar cravings. Further support and results will come with the integration of the raw food detox diet. As you cleanse your body of poisonous waste, you will crave foods from a nutrient perspective, not an addictive perspective. People find themselves naturally craving juices and salads instead of jellybeans and Snickers! Voila! You’ve rehabilitated yourself!! 

Enjoy your new cravings for nutrient dense foods!

Many people are now eating raw food to lose weight with great results. Why are they so successful? Well, when asked if it’s better to eat a couple of raw carrots or a baked potato, most people would get out their calorie counters and want to talk numbers. But comparing the calories and fat grams of food items is not the best way to make your weight loss decisions. The secret behind a raw food detox diet’s effectiveness will help explain what makes a few raw carrots a better choice than a baked potato and the reason why is not found on a nutritional label.

Raw Food To Lose Weight: Say No to Sludge

We all understand that raw fruits and vegetables, and raw juices are healthy because they provide us with abundant nutrients, but that is not the only reason they are good for us. Equally important is the fact that they move quickly and cleanly through the body leaving very little residue. Items like animal protein, processed foods, dairy, white flour, and processed sugar are sticky and difficult to eliminate from the digestive tract. Yes, all those cheese omelettes, pastas, and turkey sandwiches, are leaving leave a trail of sludge in your system, and it’s the months to years of sludge buildup that’s the main cause of weight gain (for more on how “Waste = Weight” see our blog entry on cellular detox).

Raw Food Detox Diet: a Non-Calorie Count System

When beginning to eat raw food to lose weight, we recommend you don’t go 100% raw. Here’s an easy sample daily menu:

1) Upon rising  -  A big glass of water (12-16 oz) with lemon. It’s a great way to alkalinize the body.

2) Breakfast  -  Raw vegetable juice. Nothing is more nutritious or better at loosening up old waste in the digestive tract. If after an hour you’re still hungry, a few pieces of your favorite fruit or a slice of toasted sprouted-grain bread (or toasted Manna Bread) with avocado OR coconut butter are a good choices.

3) Lunch  -  A big salad with romaine lettuce, avocado and lots of your favorite veggies.

4) Dinner  -  Start with a raw, green salad, then have whatever you want.  Just try to keep with the laws of food combining.

Roasted yams & asparagus make a hearty entree! (Remember to eat your salad first!)

Remove the Sludge, Lose the Pounds

One last, but vital thing to remember when on a raw food detox diet is the importance of including regular colonic treatments in your regimen. The raw foods and juices will do their part in loosening up that old accumulation, but you want to make sure you’re washing that waste and weight away with colon hydrotherapy.

Feeding your body a diet very high in fresh, delicious raw fruits and vegetables will not only fill your cells with abundant nutrients, but it will detox the debris that is hiding in those cells and causing your weight gain. Whether you’re looking to totally transform you body or just shed a few pounds, choose a raw food detox diet plan. It’s the healthy way to lose weight.
