Detoxifying your life

When people hear the word detox they think immediately about green juice and drinking cayenne, lemon water for 3 days. There are actually several ways in which a person can remove toxic elements from their lives. I would classify these areas as: nutritional, environmental and energetic. Today I want to talk about energetic detoxification.

Our energy is impacted almost continuously by what we see and hear. So doesn't it make sense that we should look at and listen to thinks that are positive if we want to make our evergy more positive?

So for example, our news is designed to create fear in our society. When I watch it, it really dulls down my vibration. I am not uninformed, I just consume my news from less toxic places than tv at night. The music we listen to and the books we read matter. I try to keep music on the positive side (although there is a certain amount of metal that I like) and I tend to read books that have good messages; usually a spiritual vein. Books on teenage angst tend to give me angst.

The most important contributor to our energy is the people with whom we spend time. Does your crowd tend to complain a lot or are they generally optimistic, cheerful people? Really negative people will start to dull down your vibration. I don't advocate espunging them all from your life, but you might want to balance your time better and spread the negative people out and intersperse the positive ones.

This process like all others takes time and won't happen all at once. The first step really is to observe. Notice how the things you see and hear in your life impact the way you feel. Then do more of the things that feel good and less of the things that feel bad.
