So today, I'd like to speak to you about the importance of meditation and breathwork during detox. Now, so many of my clients come to me and they say, what has meditation and breathwork got to do with detoxing? I don't understand. Well, the answer is it has everything to do with your detox journey. If your nervous system isn't working properly, your body can't function. Your digestive system won't work. Your skin cannot eliminate properly. Your kidneys won't be filtering. So this is why it is absolutely critical that you have tools in place to support your nervous system to be calm, to manage your stress. So if you're listening to this right now and being like, oh, that doesn't make sense, or you're feeling triggered, or you're like, how has that got anything to do with it? I really, really recommend that you consider this. For years, I was like, just give me like some herbs. I'm sure like herbs will fix it. There must just be something I can take, or I'll just eat all of the right foods. And for so long, I avoided adding a meditation practice and a breathwork practice. I didn't think that it would have anything to do with it, and I wondered why it took me so long to get to where I am now. And even now, I have to do a lot to manage my stress. I'm a busy person, and for example, over the last couple of weeks, I've had— Many things that have happened to me that have been very difficult. So I've really been having to bring out my toolkit to find ways to manage my stress and to support myself during this time. Because I notice the days that I feel stressed, my digestion doesn't work properly. I notice I don't sleep as much, which then leads to me having less energy, and it all just ties together, and it is the master. If your nervous system doesn't work, nothing else works. Will. So I cannot recommend enough adding in a meditation practice or something that calms your mind. For example, it might be going for a walk on the beach. It might be spending time with friends. It might be making something in the kitchen, but doing things that bring you joy, that calm you down and bring you bliss. Because if you're constantly in that, constantly in that state of flight or fight, Your body will not function. So if you have been feeling like you've been trying everything and nothing else has worked, but you haven't added this in yet, I cannot recommend it enough. And the deep breathing helps in so many ways. So your lungs is one of the 5 detoxification, or eliminative organs, should I say, where you're releasing through the breath, releasing toxins through the breath. So when you consciously do deep belly breaths— most of us only breathe just shallowly— when you breathe into the belly, you're allowing more to come up. It also supports your digestion. If you're feeling constipated or can't go to the bathroom, try deep breathing. I lay on my back and hold my hands on my belly and I breathe in and fully expand it and then let it out. And sometimes within just a few minutes, I'll actually need to stop and go to the bathroom. So I cannot recommend adding meditation and breathwork into your detoxification journey. It is going to support you in so many ways, and this could be the missing link in feeling better than you can ever have imagined. Please let me know how you go. Please let me know if this has helped you, or if by adding this into your protocol helps you, 'cause I'd love to hear success stories. I love feedback. So yeah, please let me know. Sending you so much love, beautiful, and have a lovely day. Bye.
