Hello and good day to everyone,
Well, here I am ready to take the next big step as it were... I'm very excited to be going into my level 3 cleanse as it seemed like a very far off event last summer when I was preparing for my first cleanse. But, one step at a time, one foot in front of the other and here I am.
I've made a lot of good progress so far: physically, I've removed some major blockage from my gut (which was the original reason for cleansing in the first place) as well as heaps of other stuff that I am more than glad to be rid of. I've also learned a great deal about how my body works, whats good for it, what's not, the ins and outs of how it functions and more importantly how emotion and energy come into play and effect the body just as much if not more so than the physical. Although I have made great progress, there is still more to go... I think one of the major things I have to work on is establishing a strong foundation of healthy flora as I don't seem to do well when not taking flora supps and this has been an issue for me when coming off of a cleanse. So, for this cleanse I hope to do a real good job of cleaning things out and pay careful attention to properly establishing some new colonies.
My first cleanse was last September and I was able to do my level 2 cleanse 6 months later at the end of this past March. Now, my third cleans will be 5 months after level 2 at the end of this month.
After my level 2 cleanse I experienced probably the most clarity, efficiency, and 'acceleration' that I can remeber experiencing in all my life... things changed... rapidly... meditation became deeper and deeper... and I could feel that subtle sixth sense more clearly than ever before... this of course has diminished significantly now, a couple months later. For my next cleanse I hope to be able to maintain that clarity and purity for an even longer time and build on it with each subsequent one. I'm also working towards a more vegitarian/raw diet. As difficult as this is, it becomes easier as the body becomes cleaner. I think that whats more importatnt than actually eating a raw food diet is how I think about myself when I don't eat as well as I could; I sometimes get very down on myself for not doing good enough with regard to what I eat but I'm working on just accepting where I am at at any given time and just being aware that I am moving in the right direction and things are always improving. Someone once told me not to be so hard on myself and this is something I am trying to be very mindful of... so nowadays, when I give in to those cravings I remember that guilt does nothing positive for me - enjoy the experience; move on; try to do better next time. No regrets.
As to why I decided to continue on with the advanced cleansing... after what you learn in the first 2 levels its pretty much a no brainer... just the next logical step. Sometimes I have my doubts about HPS... then I think about the alternatives: surgery, antibiotics, chemo, drugs... and I think to myself... "well that's definitely not the right direction... this one seems much more logical"... and it really does just make so much more sense.
Anyway, that is it for my L3 intro... I'm prepared, I have commiment, I have resolve... and I look forward to a great cleanse.
Thanks to all who have been here with me.
peace,
Colin
