I did colonics and survived!

So here I am, two days after receiving back-to-back colonics on Thursday and Friday nights, and well... I survived!!

The experience was definitely interesting.  I'm pleased to report that there was absolutely no pain whatsoever.  I was diligent about preparing well for the procedures and my body was ready for it.  I did experience some discomfort due largely in part to my monthly female cycle, so if you are considering a series of colonics and are female I highly recommend you schedule around your cycle.  The experience was completely tolerable even with my situation and I'm so glad I went for it.

My stomach is now much flatter, I lost 4 lbs in two days (true, I'm not focusing on numbers but that number tells me I had a significant amount of poo stuck in my body that I wasn't eliminating on my own) and I am so glad it's gone - the weight and the poo!!

I promise not to talk a lot about poo on my blog, but this is definitely a significant part of my journey to wholeness.  Now my body is prepared to more readily absorb the nutrients from the amazing healthy food I'm putting in it.  I'm convinced my body will thank me for cleaning it out and getting  fresh start.

Prepping for colon hydrotherapy

I first heard about a colon hydro therapist in Redding while on a mission trip to Tijuana about a year and a half ago. The girl I met was a ministry school student who was on her own health journey. She said something that felt like a bold statement, that though she had been on this journey for quite some time, if she could change anything she would have started with colonics. Colon hydrotherapy was the single most important and impactful thing she'd done for herself.

My response was something like, "wow, that's amazing. What's the therapist's name? Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to visit her as well." And I my head I'm thinking, "oh man, I just don't think I could ever do that."

So here I am now, running full speed, head first into my own health journey and I'm ready to say, "yes, I'm going to do this for myself!"

So I have an appointment tomorrow evening at North State Hydrotherapy with Kris Mann. I have to say, that in the few interactions I've had with Kris, I already feel safe, welcomed, affirmed and fully supported. I have no doubt this will be an amazing experience with incredible benefits.

Now part of my prep is two days of eating light, avoiding a few key foods and drinking lots of water, aloe Vera juice and plenty of fresh veg juice! This one is carrot, celery, kale and ginger. Yum :)
