What is Deep-Tissue Cleansing?

What is Deep-Tissue Cleansing??

After one of my friends posted asking me to share what “deep-tissue cleansing” is, I realized that outside my circle of students and readers, the term might actually need some explanation. Since it is something I’ve been inexorably connected with for the better part of two decades and because all of my health and inspirational quotes are emanations of a life of deep-tissue cleansing, I just kind of assumed that my buddies know what it is. But as that is clearly not the case, let me enthusiastically share the magical core concept of my life’s work with you. “Deep tissue cleansing” or “deep-cell cleansing” as I also often refer to it means: the removal of all the rubbish that has been stored in the cells, tissues and organs of the body accumulating and breeding pathogens and noxious gases.

People often mistake my work for an interest in health foods. That’s not the case. Food is the subject I’m least interested in — its just that you can’t tissue cleanse without the right food strategy. In fact, my own mother even thinks I’m interested in the topic of food and consistently sends me articles about food research (as so many people do). Food couldn’t interest me less. Research studies about food couldn’t interest me less. Deep cell and tissue cleansing is something altogether different to diet talk! Deep tissue cleansing is the event that regenerates the body, redeems it to it’s powerful design, makes all research inapplicable to you, makes the sun your friend and eradicates the external needs and addictions. It makes you sort of a different kind of person physiologically (and also, spiritually, emotionally and mentally – not to say superior at all, just wired differently because the internal rubbish is gone so your biochemistry is in fact, different).

All of my books and the Natalia Rose Institute (detoxtheworld.com) revolve around the concept of deep-cell and tissue cleansing. In them I teach how to efficaciously bring about this event in your body, how all aspects of your being respond to this physical event, how to then cleanse your emotional and mental aspects with the same logic.

The mechanics of deep tissue cleansing are simple, enlightening (literally and figuratively) and entirely innovative! Herewith, in short: Anything that is not an organically grown, water-containing plant substance is not designed for your body and therefore cannot be fully metabolised and eliminated by they body (this is how we know it is not designed for it, if you were wondering). Such things are acidic to varying degrees and therefore positively ionically charged. Positively ionically charged substances will magnetically adhere to your healthy internal tissue which is negatively ionically-charged (suffocating it). The substances then stick and cook into your cells/tissues (at 87.6 degrees fahrenheit). The lack of water in the substance ingested means that it also causes the cells and tissues that it is congesting to dry up (using the stores of water in the body that cannot be replaced by drinking water so long as the waste remains in the tissue) making that tissue lose it’s kinetic energy (basically rendering it energetically dormant — which is why most people suffer from a kind of large scale fatigue). This accumulation is massive over years of eating non-water containing foods day in and day out but will begin to be experienced early in life on the modern diet. To add hectic insult to injury, the accumulation doesn’t just sit there innocuously – it rots. It decomposes and in the rot develops all manner of pathogens. These pathogens make babies and the families of pathogens eat — so they also release excrement. Ick, I know! And most people don’t know this is the reason for aging and degeneration. They just think it’s par for the course of life. Nothing could be further from the truth!

The ‘good news of tissue cleansing’ is that we can remove all the accumulation and the pathogens by hydrating and magnetizing the waste up and out of the cells and tissues bringing back the space and kinetic energy in the body. This should lend a great deal of light now to all my posts for those of you who were not aware that tissue cleansing (not food and diet per se) is what my work is all about. This is why green juice, colonics and making green-centric foods delicious is spotlighted — as a means for deep cell & tissue cleansing.

If you’re interested to know more, I’ve written NINE books on the subject and there are enough writings, audios, videos, courses and cleanses through the Natalia Rose Institute to keep you informed, inspired and motivated for life. So that’s “deep-tissue cleansing” in brief. It’s amazing and it changes the whole equation for all of us!!!

 

Functional Expression

Suppression of your authentic functional expression is defiance of life. Period. You suppress = you are nailing up your own coffin — whether you are suppressing symptoms of illness, suppressing your heart-song, or pushing down your feelings.

Let me explain…

I define “functional expression” as those feelings and articulations of the spirit, mind, body & heart that continue to speak once the dysfunctional emotions and attitudes that come from self indulgence. have (at least for the most part) been addressed and released. These are the ones that are valid and life generating and therefore lend you your most important insights/directions.

Be ever so careful not to confuse functional expressions with dysfunctional expressions. The former are life-generating whereas the latter are the product of undisciplined, self-indulgent, destructive emotions and habits (I.e., self-pity, rage, unwarranted fear, vampirical impulses, etc. to name a few) and are therefore by definition life-deteriorating (chaos supporting, entropic).

Discerning between functional and dysfunctional expressions requires a certain level of maturity, attention and intention — such a one genuinely desires to tap his/her authentic expression by recognizing and dissolving deeply engrained dysfunctional emotions and attitudes that have long been a part of their way of life. It’s not a small undertaking, nor for the faint of heart but the reward is power over chaotic lower inclinations and the ability to be guided by a higher order of expression.

What is the alternative after all? Defying life?!?! It certainly gives one a sense of why death seems to win out over life.

If only we would defy death instead by putting our authentic expression first! Suppression of functional expression is the highway to death. Don’t suppress – just don’t. It’s not worth it for the illusion of things being what they are not. What is the opposite of suppression? Freedom. Defy life and be death’s captive. Embrace life by connecting with your authentic feelings and expressions and have your cup of life runneth over!

Why Women Shouldn’t Use Vibrators

Why women shouldn’t use vibrators (and why their partners have an equally vested interest in that).

Yes, there is actually a cleansing lesson in this, I promise!

If you’ve studied with me, you would have learned right from the start that the toxicity quotient of a substance is determined by the degree to which that substance stimulates your body and energy field. Stimulants are always toxic (think about everything that has a stimulating effect — sugar, caffeine, alcohol, drugs, flashing images, etc.). All toxins (all stimulants) also have a de-sensitizing effect. They decrease your natural sensitivity to the world around you — they decrease instinct, they decrease the ‘signal’ of the little antennas of your cells (and of your intuition or ‘sixth sense’).

You would have also learned that stimulation is synonymous with a term I call ‘false-fire’ (false fire gives a bolt of stimulative energy but it is not true energy and as such is highly addictive and requires an increased amount of that bolt to provide the same result the next time (just like street drugs and sugar do). False fire stimulates, providing the experience that is confused with energy, but it is not real energy — it is artificial, acidic, addictive, de-sensitising and temporary.

Real fire by contrast is a totally different force from an entirely different source! Real fire (real energy) comes from the network of life through which life force energy is conducted. Real energy – true primal fire (or Qi or Prana as it is also known) is the force from The Source. That’s right, it’s is from the great centripetal spin of cosmic Qi!

Anytime we introduce stimulation we create need; need creates external attachment. Add to that the fact that all stimulating substances are addictive and acidic and you can see what a danger stimulative substances (and gadgets) are. Vibrators are quite an obvious stimulator (so are our smart phones, seeing as we’re on the subject).

As with stimulative substances like unnatural foods and drinks, what really makes vibrators damaging is that their use reduces the sensation of the (by comparison) understated, nuanced human touch and ‘er pulsations. Such stimulation ruins the sexual palate for real eros-energy because it has been triggered or re-wired for false fire.

This is not healthy or desirable for either partner. The woman stops feeling the unique nuances of her partner’s body, energy and touch and the man misses out on the gratification of her natural responsiveness to all that he’s bringing her way. The intercept of real fire, the conductivity which makes lovemaking great, is lost.

It’s like someone who has over-stimulated their palate with sugary, salty, starchy foods. They don’t appreciate the flavor of an organic carrot out of the garden or the nuance of a plain baked sweet potato or fresh tomato. Meanwhile, someone who has never had artificial food will find the pleasure of those vegetables unsurpassed and even ecstatic.

The analogies are endless as we are a frighteningly over-stimulated society. When we re-sensitize ourselves we can start to experience the ecstatic life we were born to live, rather than some artificial imitation of life.

I’m presently writing a book on love and relationships…so perhaps I’ll share more along these lines if there’s interest.

Hall of Mirrors

Herewith, a most concise evaluation of the ‘hall of mirrors’ we are born into.

To discover ‘the trick,’ to become fully aware of the grand illusions is to reclaim your independence from it. Life rule #1: know the difference between the real and the unreal. When we succeed at this we can be ‘in the world and not of it.’ We don’t have to run away from the world — the challenge in fact is to stay ‘in the world’ (in the ‘fun house’ hall of mirrors) without it affecting your purity or moving you out of your anchored clarity. From there you can powerfully impact it’s rehabilitation (like the noble physical path of those who undertake the rehabilitation of their internal terrain — which likewise can only be done when the physical ‘hall of mirrors’ is understood).

In both cases, we just have to root the clarity so we can succeed in living from the noble mind. We must be very careful, of course that we maintain our grip on ‘reality’ by remaining in a state of constant consciousness, as that ensnaring set of illusions is a master trickster. But when that’s solid (possibly through repeated slip-ups and overcomings), you bring the greatest gifts of service to mankind and you also get to experience all the heart-expanding joys of your birth-right: absolute freedom on every level!

Political Philosophy As Illustrated by Human Terrain

Political Philosophy As Illustrated by Human Terrain

With the decibels of political white noise growing intolerably amplified, I wonder how often the citizens of this beautiful planet stop to think about what makes a government legitimate. What does functional government even look like and how can we crystallize a fail-proof vision of government that could genuinely serve our highest expression as individuals and as a collective?

As with all things, we can find our answers in nature and in this case, more precisely, in the human terrain. N.B. When I say human terrain, I am referring to the multi-tiered and interconnected terrains of our whole makeup – the terrain of the flesh, the terrain of the mind, the terrain of the emotions and the terrain of the spirit.

Nowhere do the facets of politics factor in more than they do in the human being. Ergo, it’s no surprise that in our governing ‘bodies’ we find a holographic model.

It all comes down to assigning correct authority and ensuring that that this ‘correct authority’ remains in perfect integrity (and I mean mirroring the tightly knit quality of healthy tissues, built on subatomics that are also in perfect integrity/centripetal spin). Correct authority is the impeccable executor of justice, liberty, legal code, and property rights because this sole authority truly knows what these inalienable rights mean to the expression being governed. First and foremost, we have to know that this is what we are looking for in an authority and know what precisely those terms must represent (because firstly, we develop this authority within ourselves — knowing that any external authority is only optional, arguably superfluous, and at any given time, expendable. Otherwise, we will choose a lesser authority and dangerously put our trajectory (and our group’s trajectory) in the wrong hands.

Healthy terrain, internal systems, thoughts, emotions and human spirit depend on ideal justice, liberty and property rights as much as does any free citizen.

Our human terrains cannot operate functionally and remain in a sytropic, life-generating state without the freedom to be themselves and follow their primal inclinations/desires. As you know, when repression and suppression smother that primal expression, illness results. We need leadership that lives by the codes of primal justice, primal liberty, primal property rights. I’m not suggesting that can be arranged overnight but the more we can appreciate how the holographic model works, the more we can activate the correct authority within ourselves and start self-governing!

Here’s where the body as ‘political philosophy teacher’ becomes really interesting…the body has it’s own checks and balances system. If you start to take away the body’s rights to be free to do what it is designed to do, symptoms/pain ensue. Now, this would seem obvious but the point is that no undermining of freedom escapes justice – thus, there can be no stealing, no sloth, no murder without immediate collection of compensation (per the Natural Law of Compensation). In short, the price is paid; the sentence is delivered and swiftly carried out. The same is true for the emotions, mind and spirit (have you ever seen a repressed emotion, idea or spirit throw off it’s chains and hold a tribunal for war crimes against it (a.k.a. repression)? I have – I’ve seen it in myself to boot!

Let the white noise that gives no worthy guidance, that is incapable of selecting a ‘correct authority’ be until it’s decay cycle is complete. In the meantime, you and I have our work cut out for us as we bring to power the inner government, whose Constitution is based on nothing less than the quintessentially legitimate integrity of Natural and Universal Law. That’s how I vote anyway.

How Should We Pour Life-Juice into Decaying Tissues?

How should we pour life-juice into decaying tissues? Very carefully! And, what wine and green juice have in common…

Whether you have a religious affiliation or not, it bears appreciating that the ancient theological texts (from all spiritual traditions) are filled with clues to the crucial Natural & Universal Laws that govern your life. As I hope you are realizing, being knowledgeable and in-sync with these laws determines whether you thrive or not.

When an individual whom I know has a biblical background complains to me about an uncomfortable reaction upon drinking green juice, I’ll immediately direct them to the biblical admonition in Luke 5:37-38 that reads: “And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins, spilling the wine and ruining the skins…new wine must be poured into new wineskins.” The connection is this: your digestive tract is like the old wineskins. It is rancid and filled with the residue of antiquated fermentation and unfavorable microbes. The green juice is the ‘new wine,’ the life-generating microbes. The unfavorable microbes (a.k.a. pathogens) will recoil and flare up when met with these ‘new wine’ microbial ‘beings’ (for they are like little beings) in the same way that we see the ‘devilish energy’ flare up and sizzle when met with the holy water in the movie, The Exorcist. Now, please also note that the complaint is a-cause of the individual having chosen to ingest a far too concentrated alkaline formulation for their unique cleansing transition level. It is not a fault of the green juice (the ‘new wine’) per se but of this density of alkalinity meeting with this quality of tissues and quantity of matter and gas pressure (the ‘old wineskins’).

This is why it’s critical to start with the more diluted formulations like cucumber and romaine lettuce (with lemon/ginger/stevia optional), rather than go full tilt juicing kale, dandelion, chard and parsley (the darker the greens the more medicinal; the more medicinal, the more life-force potency (centripetally spinning activated electrons), which must be tempered if there are blockages and a high degree of pathogens in the body/wineskins)!

As the old microbes depart (through natural bowel elimination, colonics, enemas and deep sweating), a greater percentage of darker greens can be introduced with excellent results. Remember we cannot break Natural & Universal Law, we can only break ourselves against them. Putting new wine in old wineskins (both literally per the biblical narrative and figuratively in this green juice scenario) are prime examples of breaking oneself against ‘the law.’

There are countless parables that serve to reinforce the laws and their applications in light of our cleansing endeavours. In my dream world, I’ll get to more of them in short order. They offer up new understanding to the parables themselves and shed much light on why the cleansing experiences present as they do.

Centripetal Vortex

Do you want to know something exquisitely optimistic? The centripetal vortex structure (that life-generating force-field that is intrinsic to all life — visible and invisible) sweeps all that we would call, “death” back up into it’s regenerating field where that broken, de-spiraled energy (death) is transfigured by the unspeakably vast, powerful centripetal spin of Source and made new and alive again.

Everything that exists is part of the ONE life, held in it’s unfathomably vast embrace. All those centrifugal expressions, once they putter out having leaked all their life-force, having become over-run by decay-cycle pathogenic mobs of any and all sizes, get swept right back into the benevolent vacuum of life-generating spin, (without judgment, without needing a ticket to ride). That is what heaven is.

In fact, anytime this sweeping up of death into the unspeakably vast, all-embracing force-field of unerring spin occurs, whether on a macro or microcosmic level, heaven can be found. If you find your life there, you will reside in a special kind of heaven always and be a heaven for anyone and anything that passes through you. And if you don’t find your life there, and you fall to centrifugal ruin, rest assured, you will be swept up and made new because you cannot escape the love that is holding you within, whether you feel it or not.

Becoming Your Own Surgeon

  • When you cleanse your cells and tissues, you become your own surgeon. The removal of the interloping blockages triggers a great re-knitting of the tissues to occur — something science only dreams of as it attempts to mimic such life-generating phenomena. At the very least, science has to go to great lengths to achieve something with entropic tissue that Life achieves with healthy tissue as naturally as breathing. (At worst, science has to apply immoral tactics to do so). So why not just remediate the tissue so Life can work it’s natural magic? (Ah, because that would entail discipline and lifestyle change).

    Life is by definition regenerative. Only death/entropy requires questionable, convoluted, complicated apparatus. Again, for what? To mimic what Life does effortlessly on its own under the right conditions! Radiance, strength, purity, clarity, creativity, effortlessness. These are the fruits of the your inner surgeons discipline & focus. It can take many days and hours in the operating theater. But there is great work being done — divine suturing, transcendent transplants, ineffable transfusions & cosmetic miracles.

    Tip: It’s time, once and for all, to get over what the ‘beast’ in you wants to consume. Get over your lower impulses. They will just take you lower and lower. Find a way to love your greens. They are your “soap.”

    Get over this idea that you are entitled to be satisfied all the time and, instead try on the power of a bit of sacrifice. It’s healthy and wholesome to rise above knee-jerk desires. Don’t trust all those cravings that you are otherwise encouraged by the carnal, lost-world, to indulge in. They are illusions of satisfaction. Real pleasure and satisfaction will come to you as undeniably as the morning light.

    Small but deliberate steps. Everyday, a little more. You can be a great surgeon and regenerate your body. But there are no short cuts in the operating theater…no cutting at all in fact, just the release of the impediments to conductivity and then, natural reconnection. Remember that what it actually means to “deny oneself” is to discard the truth of what you are. That is a far cry from the common understanding of the term which is to fail to give yourself the indulgences you desire. In effect when you indulge your lower impulses per the latter directive, you in fact, actually discard the truth of what you are.

    You can become the light/the primal fire/the eternal flame or you can get burned by it. The eternal flame will go on either way, incinerating all that is not itself. True to itself, the eternal fire of light will always unapologetically and uncompromisingly flame on.

Don’t be an Airhead

This is one of the most important bits of health information you will ever come across (though I can’t promise it won’t make you giggle).

Don’t Be An Air Head
It was one of those great learning moments — circa 2002 with my beloved mentor, Gil Jacobs. He had me, forgive the pun, LMAO while we were otherwise engaged in what he spunkily coined ‘the colonic action’ (an entirely wholesome pursuit, despite what it might conjure up for some of you with your minds in the gutter!).

Gil was pointing out to me how dramatically the shape & size of a handful of the the most famous male actors’ skulls morphed (ballooned actually), between their early 20’s (when their skulls were still relatively small and round like a child’s) and their late 30’s-40s, at which point their skulls seemed to swell close to twice the original size, (meanwhile also losing their original, strong head shape and facial features).

Naturally, these observations were strictly academic, not at all mean-spirited (and I certainly won’t name names here). It was all in the honorable name of cleansing-teacher illustrating to cleansing-student how the mass quantities of noxious gases, produced by waste accumulation in the gut, permeate the porous material of the skeleton and rise into the equally porous bone of the skull.

Most people don’t think of the bones and skull (and teeth for that matter) as highly-porous recipients of retained waste matter and the byproducts that develop from that retained waste, but they absolutely are.

The copious quantities of gas produced in the gut expand into the bones, causing the bone-matter to expand. As an added insult, the infiltrated bone matter becomes steadily weakened as the acidic gas eats away at it. The acidic noxious gasses displace the tightly, evenly-knitted ‘fabric’ of the healthy bone leading to weak bones (osteoporosis). This by the way is what happens to the body’s tissues at-large as retained waste is constantly permeating the extremely porous tissues of the body (making the tissues weak and slack). This is a major source of the rapid cosmetic deterioration that most people think is simply inevitable (it’s not merely inevitable at all).

It was by way of Gil’s powerful illustration of the ‘befores’ and ‘afters’ of these well-known modern day male actors which he identified as classic examples of this cause-effect scenario that enabled me to firmly and forever grasp one of the most essential understandings at the heart of tissue cleansing: warm gas rises in the body just as it does outside the body. The gas from the gut, in an attempt to find an exit by moving upward, becomes trapped in the skull, making for a real and literal ‘air-head’ situation. The retained waste matter is only half of it. It’s the retained waste AND the byproducts (noxious gases, bacteria, fungus, parasites, etc.) that cause the trouble and must be shown the way out.

But gas is invisible and harmeless…isn’t it?
While it may be invisible, noxious gas takes up an enormous amount of space. When it permeates human tissue it creates a lot of expansion (undermining the vacuum/empty space condition you want to have in the body). This becomes unquestionably evident in the wake of successful tissue cleansing. Here’s how you can tell: when tons of this carbonic gas is released, one of the the most common responses come from women who formerly believed they were designed to have wide hips and/or shoulders. “I always just thought I was big boned,” they proclaim, “But I’m not really!” The big bones and the expanded girth was largely due to ‘invisible’ (and virtually weightless, might I add) gas pressure. Not so invisible after all, ‘eh?

A successful deep-tissue-cleanser can drop many sizes just due just to releasing a great deal of the trapped gas in the skeletal/muscular system alone! Furthermore, you can shrink significantly (horizontally, not vertically, lol) and yet not always see a huge difference in your weight on the scale. Now you know why.

More importantly, the integrity that is restored to the bone when the noxious gas exits results in a kind of bone renaissance! This integrity is restored throughout as well..skin tightens up like a teenager’s and becomes enviably toned. Your internal organs will let you know that their faculties are re-invigorated as well!

I can assure you, the dedicated tissue cleanser doesn’t lose a single moment fretting over the possibility of osteoporosis, organ weakness or droopy skin setting in with age. They know it is only by way of the entropic harbingers that the fortitude of their cells and tissues can be diminished (and they know how to keep those entropic interlopers at bay). As I always say, “It’s not the number of times we go around the sun that ages us but rather what we accumulate as we go around the sun.”

Try the skull expansion observation exercise yourself: just look at the difference between anyone you know (yes, you are also fair game ;)) and compare the head shape of their youth to its current shape. Why has the skull shape morphed so dramatically (again, including the jaw, cheek bones and forehead which also disintegrate within from the noxious gas eating away at it)? It’s simply the hot, noxious gas from the intestine rising and expanding into the porous material that is causing this. Now that you know, you’re empowered to prevent it (should you desire to).

So you see, noxious gases are not just a cosmetic inconvenience – carbon, nitrogen, methane and volatile sulfur permeate the brain tissue matter and we all know what happens when integrity is lost in the brain matter – the heartbreaking symptoms of senility, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease result. Granted, gas pressure is only one contributing factor to these illnesses; however, it is a significant one. Other major contributing factors are heavy metal accumulation in the body absorbing in the brain matter, radiation exposure and, naturally the ramifications of a lifetime of stress and disconnection with the network of life (but N.B. these factors also cause noxious gas to proliferate because the noxious gas is a byproduct of the entropy cycle that is caused by those factors listed above). Typically, these cofactors all operate in concert given the modern way of life. Where you find one, you’ll typically find them all.

Gil had a term for the pre-gassed-up-skull (the a.k.a. the ‘before’). He called it, ‘kid head.’ Kid head is that tight, cute round head that kids have before they saturate their tissues in waste that ferments and putrefies releasing copious quantities of noxious carbon, methane and nitrogen into the bones/skull. The same could be said of ‘kid skin’ and ‘kid frame’ – its not a lack of maturity or retarding of natural growth I’m suggesting — not remotely, please don’t misunderstand me. Rather, It’s an absence of the accumulation and byproducts of accumulation from misguided consumption perpetuated over years and decades. Look at the Bushmen, the Hunza’s, the native American Indians and so many other original peoples and you will find ‘kid head,’ ‘kid skin,’ and ‘kid frames’ in the elders of untold age.

Why? Because, so long as they were not eating too many animal products (which will cause a great deal of fermentation in an intestine as long as the human one), these ‘original people’ did not eat sugars and starches and hybridized fruits that turn the otherwise calm, tight, high-integrity human body into a chaos of putrefactive disorder. Wild foods have a far lesser inclination to have this effect, particularly when consumed as part of lifestyle rooted in the network of living energy.

When you see an example of pristine, healthy youth (this becoming rarer every day), you are looking at a being that has not yet corrupted his or her body with so much retained waste matter. Remember that corrupt is synonymous with rot and the noxious gasses are part of the rotting process.

To redisover your youth, you need only remove that accumulation and it’s associated gas pressure (or at the very least, you need only begin the process and watch yourself morph pleasantly in that direction both inside and out as you go deeper, dredging up that which is better off out).

People have been conditioned to focus on weight loss and to apply the ‘latest, greatest’ cosmetic tools to create the illusion of restored youth; meanwhile, it can be so much more honest and simple than that. It simply comes down to removing the retained waste and the gas pressure developing from it. The gas makes you far larger than you are (oh, this by the way goes for guys who are consuming all the “gym food” substances designed to help them bulk up and ‘get big,’ namely, the soy protein isolate and whey protein based foods and shakes.). No one will argue that it makes them larger, but gas pressure is a big part of that increased size, which also, by the way, makes them feel more aggressive and less at ease which can be a great big detour for a man who is otherwise seeking a strong sense of balance, happiness and inspired, creative direction in life.

The hot, non-aerated environment is the condition of our body. We cannot change that (nor would we want to as it works very nicely so long as sugars, starches, fleshes, oils, chemicals, radiation and heavy metals don’t vie for that self same space that is not designed for such things.

You would not want your food to sit in a hot, wet, unventilated room all day long in a zip lock bag, would you? If you were to undertake an experiment as such, would not be surprised to come back several days later to open that zip lock bag and recoil from the the stench therein and multiple forms of bacteria and parasites growing out of the food? The stench is the noxious gasses and the pathogens themselves growing in the putrefactive waste are releasing yet another generation of noxious gases to boot.

Why is it that we think this somehow doesn’t occur in exactly the same way inside the even warmer, unventilated, more moist internal conditions of the miraculous human body. There is nothing wrong with the way our bodies are designed but much misguided with regard to what we think should be copacetic with those conditions (but simply are not). And yet, it remains taboo to talk too much about it, as if it is somehow better to pretend that the putrafaction isn’t really actually occurring. It’s happening alright and, I’m sorry to say, it’s going to your head (it’s a law of gas and heat). Don’t believe me? Just take a look around.

I’ve always loved the Biblical admonition, “Be ye wise as serpents and harmless as doves.” I would say likewise, “Be ye mature as the great elders and noxious-gas-free as the rejoicing, agile child.” This is possible and you have the power to turn the dial up on your ability to access this state at anytime.

The Impact Other People’s Opinions Have on Us

There’s a personal story I was considering telling on the anniversary of the event last week. Having opted not to share it at the time, it became evident that it could be helpful when several friends and students consulted me dealing with the same theme: they were all tied-up in knots over their otherwise hugely successful self-healing process simply because other people were projecting their limited ideas about dietetics and healing onto them, causing them to question the choices they were making.

It’s hard to imagine how other people’s opinions can have an impact on us at all when our life-generating results are so self-evident. Why would we ever accept another person’s opinionated critique of our choices over our own experience? But, it happens a lot. Until we are dead-set in our truth, there is a tendency to give a lot of power away to those we perceive to have a certain kind of authority.

Authority figures in our lives are not always the ones we’re conscious of like our parents, teachers, doctors and law enforcement officials. Without realizing it, we often grant a kind of pseudo-authority to certain friends and associates in our lives. Whenever we are swayed to change tracks because of what someone else thinks of what we are doing, we have granted them authority over us.

Now, you can learn to follow your truth the hard way by remaining open to so called authority figures’ opinions (only to revert back to the pain that drove you to your heart’s path, time and again). Or, you can grip your steering wheel with two steady hands and realize that these so-called authority figures don’t know Jack about Jack.

Thirty-six years ago last week on July 23rd, 1979, I was run over by a yellow school bus after day camp – by both sets of tires. The bus ran me over with the front wheels and then continued to run me over again with the back wheels (guess the driver thought I was a speed bump?). I was just two months shy of my 4th birthday. To lend some context: I spotted my mother in her fire-engine red El Dorado Caddy with the top down pulling into the camp parking lot to fetch me after a long day away from her and I was excited to run into her arms. I had the good sense to look both ways and by my 3.10 year-old estimation I could make it across, not seeing any on-coming cars, just a lot of yellow busses lined up picking up campers. So I made a run for it.

She emerged from the car to witness me being smacked down by the on-coming yellow bus and had to watch, screaming in horror until the crushing concluded. The bus did not stop. The driver was totally unaware of what had happened.

I remember the scene as if it were yesterday. I even remember how the hot summer asphalt felt underneath my fragile body. But I was fully conscious and present as the crowd gathered around me. Funny enough, despite the pain which I described to my mother as feeling like I was being ‘cut open with a knife,’ I was more concerned about my mother’s distress and repeated consolingly to her over and over again, “Mommy, I’m going to be alright.” I didn’t want her to be upset. Next thing, we were speeding along in the ambulance.

Flash forward to the ICU and my parents meetings with the team of doctors who were working on me. The verdict: this team of six doctors prepared my parents for the worst. I was going to die. They added that if, by some remarkable miracle I lived, I would be crippled for life. And to add further insult to injury, my shattered pelvis meant that my eggs were destroyed and I would never ever be able to conceive children.

I’ll save you the next six weeks of blood and gore in the ICU where I became a fixture. That ICU became my home – I still remember chatting with the other kids there and the syrupy pancakes. It was touch and go every day until the final day when after a series of attempts to stop the internal bleeding (that resulted in a massive allergic reaction) my parents were told to say their last goodbyes to me. What they found in that hospital bed instead (and I am not exaggerating here at all – this is 100% a true story) was a completely healed little girl ready to leave the hospital. My parents took me with my atrophied little body straight to our favourite spot in Laguna beach certain that a week playing on the sand would be the best way to strengthen my body (wise move). And it did. Despite all the authorities’ insistence to the contrary, I did not die. I was not crippled and I went on to have three healthy children. Now, to her credit, my mother never mentioned there was any concern about my eggs so that never seeded in my subconscious. I have two scars and a funky bone that sticks out on my right side (and fairly torturous labors, which I attribute to the funky way my shattered pelvis mended) that’s only visible when I wear a bikini but they’re my battle scars and I love them.

Those doctors meant well and they played a significant role in saving my life. I am so grateful to them for that. However, they didn’t have the authority over the outcome of my process just as those “authoritative” opinions that you may be putting stock in do not have either enough information nor a vast enough perspective to have any authority over your process.

I knew I was going to be alright. I told my mother this from the beginning. In fact, whilst everyone was praying (she had the whole city praying practically) and worrying, I just kind of looked on and enjoyed my hospital stay (I liked the other kids and the pancakes were yummy!). My spirits were always high those six weeks. I knew I wasn’t going to die — the thought never crossed my mind.

If your spirits are high and you’re feeling hugely attracted to your self-healing path – like a love affair (that’s what it can and should feel like actually) then you must not let anyone else dissuade you.

If you are on this path, I will remind you (with all due humility) that you know more about the way healing, cleansing and dietetics apply to the body than anyone else you may consult with. Unless this work is studied sufficiently, important contextual cruxes are lost and it won’t make sense to others why you might be dry fasting for several hours or drinking only green juice until dinner or forgoing major food groups like grains, fleshes and cow dairy.

Out of the realm of deep tissue cleansing study, it can sound like disordered extremism (I’ll grant them that). But, and I say it lovingly…they don’t know Jack about Jack.

So, do your thing, rid your gunk from your tissues, get your conductivity kickin’ and live life at a level of vitality and inspiration that blows all previous limitations out of the water. You be the authority of just how high you can fly (or, as it was in my case, whether you live or die). Healing knows no limits and none but the great All That Is truly knows where its all going. So go do what makes your heart sing and stop listening to other people.

Entropy and Dietetics: Making BIG Connections

Entropy and Dietetics: Making BIG Connections!
Now that we’ve established that centripetal force/spin is syntropic (a.k.a. life-generating) and centrifugal force/spin is entropic (a.k.a. life-deteriorating), we can go to the next step and apply this knowledge to our dietetics! You all are always asking me about the dietetic details so here you go! Here’s what we’re going to do in this instalment:

Step #1: Define and identify high-entropy foods/substances vs. low-entropy foods substances (see detailed explanation below).

Step #2: Reflect on dietetic intake (and historic intake — because that residue is still within you until you’ve done a significant amount of tissue cleansing) and therefore it is still your state of ‘internal affairs.’ (In other words, it’s your responsibility to look at it squarely in the eye and rectify it).

Step #3: Understand one of the most important facts of entropy and why it causes such a rapid de-spiraling process. Get ready for it…it is unpleasant and you may cringe as you read the word, I warn you but it is true: the entropic event is ROT. You do not need to have rotting substances in your body but until you can look at it for what it is and remediate it, that’s the issue. Decay, disease, illness, symptoms are all just indications of rot/degrees of rot (caused, as you now know, by blockages and “cut threads.”).

Step #4: Remove the rot by adopting a low-entropy diet, saturating the rot in greens and removing the accumulation from the tissue.

Okay, Step #1: I define and identify high-entropy foods and substances as: “Those foods/substances which incline our physicality and fields most readily toward entropic unraveling/rot.” Now, I realize that food technologists typically define high-entropy foods as the very opposite of my definition because their interest is in shelf-life, not tissue life. So, for them a low-entropy food is one that will not rot on the shelf for a long time. I appreciate their perspective, but as usual, the “worldly, profit-driven” perspective is inverted.

Setting the record straight: Substances that are designed for longest shelf life ARE ACTUALLY THE MOST INCLINED TO CAUSE ROT INSIDE OUR BODIES, THEREFORE THESE ARE THE MOST HIGH-ENTROPY SUBSTANCES IN THE LARGER SCHEME OF THINGS. Foods and substances which do not rot readily at room temperature, on shelves but DO, cause the body to rot more readily than other substances are in fact, “high-entropy foods.” To state it differently, they might not rot outside the body but boy do they ever get the body rotting once they get in!

So, since these packaged, processed foods are the most inclined to cause the most rapid deterioration in the body, I define them as high-entropy substances.

The highest entropy substances, even higher than packaged processed foods are chemicals, heavy metals and radiation. This puts pharmaceutical drugs at the tippity top of the high-entropy hierarchy, right up there with lead, mercury and radioactive fallout. There’s not much more of a sinister and rot-inducing substance than pharmaceutical drugs.

Next down on the hierarchy we have the highest-entropy foods: these are the processed foods (notice: processed foods have an extremely low-water content which means they instantly stick like glue in the tissue. Without the kinetic energy to help move them through the body, this is the kind of stuff that pretty much stays with you forever. I know you might like it — but do you like it that much? This category virtually instantly suffocates healthy cells and tissues upon arrival and accelerates the decomposition cycle, starting wherever they land/nest after ingestion. In and among this category we have concentrated ‘machine’ oils like canola and safflower oil. This group is also home to all processed soy foods as well as all foods that have been treated with hormones, antibiotics or other shelf-life chemicals: namely mainstream animal products. The dead tissue (animal flesh) is also known as necrotic tissue and necrotic tissue by definition is decomposing tissue. This is what you are eating when you are eating animal fleshes. I say this without judgment. It doesn’t do any one any good to judge this, just to look at what it actually is. Animal products may still play a role in a smart transitional cleansing diet but let’s be conscious about what animal flesh is – it is a decomposing material. This is why it is dyed and has such a short [natural] shelf-life. Be ware of any substance that requires chemical agents to extend its appeal or longevity. That’s a sure sign of a high-entropy food.

The next major constituency of the high-entropy food club are sugary foods. Sugars are high entropy because sugar effects the tissues like acid and immediately begins eating away at living tissue (rather use a bit of natural stevia). With sugars, it’s that simple – it eats healthy tissue and feeds pathogens (yeast/fungus, bacteria, viruses and parasites) and as it does so (creating new pathogens). When you think sugars, think: “FAF”: F=Fungus, A=Addiction, F=Fermentation. FAF=Rot

Now, consider what happens when sugary foods meet processed foods…you have a double whammy of high-entropy substance. It’s an exponential offense – a kind of Jurassic Park of high entropy foods! And then, consider packaged foods that contain animal flesh like Pork Rinds and beef jerky.

Next we have the processed cow dairy products because they have no redeeming life force and they are extremely gluey, followed by the refined starch category. The more refined the starches, the higher-entropy. This is because the more processed, the more sticky the starch. The stickier the starch, the more it will stick in the tissue and also invite mucoid plaque to develop (which all these high-entropy substances do by the way). Mucoid plaque is another way of suffocating life force and cells/preventing conductivity and reducing oxygen in the blood and tissues. So, consider all starches from rice to bread to pop-corn and their entropic effect. These are not natural human foods for human tissue. These are just things we’ve adopted and come to take a certain pleasure in. You can just as easily leave them behind in favor of water-containing low-entropy plant foods that will not rot you out of your otherwise beautiful physical home.

The low-entropy category is as follows: top of the hierarchy (the most low-entropy foods, meaning the least inclined to contribute to rot in the body and most inclidned to help remediate it) are wild herbs. Wild herbs (all green herbals: parsley, cilantro, dandelion, basil, mint, rocket/arugula, etc.) should be the mainstay of the modern diet because they snuff out rot and imbue the body with synthesized sunlight (chlorophyll, the body’s truest food-source nourishment). Wild herbs followed by wild greens followed by organic greens are the best tools in the modern dietetic tool box.

Next we have all low-starch organically grown vegetables (think everything from tomatoes to Brussels sprouts, parsnip, broccoli, beets, carrots, etc. Many of you are aware and concerned that almost all of our modern vegetables (with the exception of wild greens) are hybridized so we cannot hope to avoid all hybridized vegetables. That debate comes up a lot…to which I say, enjoy them as part of a GREEN-CENTRIC diet with a tissue cleansing lifestyle and you will not have any problem (but you will have lots of pleasure to fuel your long term commitment, which is what really matters!). Organic lemons are also top of the low-entropy heap. We love d’em organic lemons!

Fruits are a very tricky category and generally best to avoid at large (with some wriggle room). Here’s what you need to know: inorganically grown, hybridized fruits that are picked before they are ripe are a disaster and super-high-entropy! All our fruits today are way too sugary so they will eat away at the tissue and feed pathogens. However, organic fruits also have a great deal of sun-power and a whole lot of kinetic energy because of the sun energy and their high water content so, it’s not the same as eating other sugary foods. I would go very easy on them though if you’re determined to enjoy them and always only on an empty stomach (never with or following other food categories as in for dessert). Eventually, hopefully wild fruits will come back as our world realizes what domestication of plant life does to undermine the intelligence quotient in our food supply. Domestication of plants, animals and humans are all very high-entropy events.

But, at the core (allow the pun) today’s fruits (even the organic variety) are not “original fruit” and should not be treated as the perfect human food that “original fruit” (a.k.a. wild fruit that was available hundreds of years ago) was.

I hope this helps you further connect the dots and gets you ever closer to the ecstatic, inspired, syntropic, super-high frequency life-experience!

Express Your Authentic Nature

There is only one thing that life asks absolutely of you — to express your authentic nature, fully — not to embody some cockamamie ideology you’ve been told to put on like a uniform.

Consider today shedding anything that rings of doing what you’re “supposed” to do because that’s what’s expected of you. By whom? Who said so? Who dictates to you what you should or should not be or do if you are following a path of honor? And, I can assure you that if you are following a path of honor and truth, your authentic expression will always trump the alternative by a million miles!

Anything that infringes upon your ability to be yourself is a nail in your coffin, decay in your being, certain death. Calcification comes from that crunched up place. That place of doing what you’re told and toeing the line.

Only by removing the death imprint and all the repression and suppression from ourselves will we know what the true human life experience should feel like, look like and how far it should extend (in perfect bliss).

So where are you permitting suppression/repression? Where are you stifled? How is your conductivity today? How centripetal are you? Is it an entropic day or a syntropic day? It’s all in your power to re-direct anti-energetic spin to life-generating spin, to heal, to embody the life force!

Overcoming is not easy but the alternative is no place to be. Those who triumph do so because they never let go of the beautiful vision of true life even while they are surrounded by imitations of life.

Perfect vital vision. Application of concentrated focus. Consistent implementation of all that supports that vision. That’s it. You’ve got this!

Bionic Muscles

Bionic Muscles!

Balance is the quest to bring together forces that both oppose and complement one another. In our world of form, we live in and among countless opposing factors – the yin/yang forces you’re familiar with: light/dark, contracting/expanding, levity/gravity, inward/outward, male/female, and so on.

When these forces are not balanced (complemented by their polarity-partner, where they can triumph in balanced unity), stagnation and the decay cycle sets in. Over polarization of one of the forces undermines life.

So we must be vigilant not to over polarize toward one force, forsaking its counterbalancing mate. This much you know. Moving along…

When the counter balancing mates are used consciously, something amazing happens: we can actually grow dynamically and exponentially when we stretch one force along with it’s complementary force equally! For example, if you take a long stride with your right leg and then an equally long stride with your left leg and what happens? Well, you get farther, your limbs realize a greater potential than when you were taking smaller steps and, from there, you can continue to challenge yourself and reach greater potential! Again, you know this…

But now, I want to invite you to look at how this applies to muscle development in the fitness category.

Good exercise physiologists and trainers will guide their clients to “opposing muscle development” which creates a supportive netowork for the musculature, preventing injury and many other problems. Opposing muscle development is what is what is done when one strengthens the abdominals along with the lower back, the hamstrings with the quadriceps, the biceps with the triceps, you get the idea.

But there is an aspect to muscular development that is still missing and because it is missing, fitness enthusiasts are actually fast tracking their own decay by the very way they are aiming to strengthen themselves and attempt to increase their longevity.

The missing element is applying the complementary, counter-polarity-partner of absolute malleability with muscular increase/development. Muscles must only be increased with absolute malleability, which requires an absence of obstruction in the muscle tissue. When you combine development/increase with absolute malleability (which at the outset may sound like an totally incompatible concept) you will have a truly enviable muscular system both cosmetically and mechanically. I like to call it a bionic muscular system (even though “bionic” connotes something artificial, I still like the ring of it and the image of a dynamically powerful muscle it conjures up for me).

A life-generating musculature has nothing in common with the traditional, modern muscle building approach which breeds stagnation with every lift and crunch and is rather a menace to the conductivity and flow in your body which give you your youth juice.

Granted, most body builders and gym-goers are consuming highly toxic shakes, bars and meals designed to encourage muscle development so they are already doomed as these ingredients will destroy healthy tissue and are the harbingers of rapid aging. But for you, who are not mismatching strength training with toxicity, you could be getting so much more bionic power circulating in your body!

As you develop your clean-celled musculature, make a point of keeping your muscles very, very supple. You don’t want armor, you want strength and true strength is primal fire flowing through your physical form – the primal fire (Qi, life force, force from the Source, as you like) is the big boss.

Your muscles should be developed as part of your body’s endeavor to express each of it’s systems as the primal fire would have it done. In this light, your lungs are a servant of the primal fire; your kidney’s are a servant of the primal fire, as are your bones and muscles. When we invert that truth we have big problems! Put the primal fire’s requirements first (which are, namely to conduct, move, express, expand, experience) and you’ll know how to support your body’s systems on behalf of the primal fire that depends on them. You’ll be living life in your body right side up in stead of upside down.

So, by all means, increase the fortitude of your muscles. But do it by consciously complimenting development with malleability. Note bene: flow is the cousin of malleability; flexibility serves these cousins — flexibility is a tool to increase flow and malleability, not the other way around.

There are several excellent, easy, free practices you can do daily to make sure you are optimising your malleability as you train. Daily massage is an obvious first stop (self massage more than suffices and can be done whenever it suits you). Intuitive dance and intuitive yoga for even a few minutes is a great way to ensure fluidity!

But, this is one area where visualisation is highly effective! Take some time once or twice a day to visualize all the condensation of energy, all the stagnation, emotional residue and mental tension leaving your muscle tissue.

If we want to become living embodiments of the primal fire (which we do, believe me), we have to live the primal fire lifestyle and think like primal fire thinks. We can’t let anti-primal fire stuff set in – not in our organs, not in our connective tissue, our joints, our hearts, our minds or our muscles. Best of all, you can expect your muscles to be stronger. So, lift your weights, sculpt your yoga muscles, run, cycle, climb, row, whatever suits you best but remember for all the development you do, you need to clear, clear, clear stagnation from that muscle tissue.

If you’ve read the Socrates book series by Dan Millman (one of my all time favorite set of books — I cannot recommend it highly enough), you may remember that the main character, Socrates explains that our bodies should be so malleable that we should be able to be massaged right to the bone! That’s a good image to keep in mind — to strive for. With muscles, increase and malleability = strength. Those are the complementary forces for bionic muscles.

I love my bionic muscles. They make me feel almost other-worldy, like I’ve got a secret in them, like they can do things that I’m not even fully aware of yet. Ah the ever unfolding mysteries of the inspired, syntropic, ecstatic life!

Que Sera Sera/ Keep Calm & Carry On

Two expressions I’ve always personally found deeply disturbing: “Que sera sera.” And, “Keep calm & carry on.” After a vibrant family discussion about why these two adages annoy me (turns out I stand apart as the only one profoundly bothered by them), I thought I’d openly express just what it is about both of them that ‘gets my goat cheese.’

1. Que sera, sara: My mom tells the story: I was about 7 or 8 years old and she was singing, the “Que sera sera” song when I interrupted and asked her, “Mom, what’s ‘que sera’ mean? She went on to translate, “Honey, it means, ‘whatever will be will be’” and then carried on singing the rest of it…”the future’s not ours to see, que sera sera…”

As she tells it (and I recall) I became pretty upset by the end of the song, went to my room and closed the door. A little while later I emerged again, looked my mom squarely in the eye and said, “Mom, I don’t like that ‘que sera sera” stuff. I’m going to make my own future…none of this ‘what will be will be nonsense!”

To this day, with the exception of it’s reasonably appealing melody and my mother’s signature, beautiful voice singing it, I cannot find anything redeeming in that song (and secretly I roll my eyes whenever it somehow crosses my audio waves). We are not living in a “Que Sera, Sera” universe. We are self-determined creators. And thank goodness for that!”

2. “Keep calm & carry on.” I understand that message served a purpose to prepare the British civilians’ morale for WWII blitzing. But today it is everywhere as a design trend: on bags, sweaters, t-shirts, jackets and posters.. Can we look at this adage afresh and the influence it has on our psyches in the modern day?

To be told to “keep calm” implies that you are not calm. If you are not calm, there’s probably a very good reason (even if that reason is that you need to address your inner demons). To ignore the undercurrent rising in you and rather “keep calm” is an affront to your spirit — it’s a directive to suppress your true feelings. For who’s benefit? Not for yours!

Do we really want to suppress our feelings and moreover do we really want to be focused on a time when we had no choice but to prepare for a blitzing of our homes? This kind of messaging subliminally reminds us of the oppression of war (all mixed up in the decadence of fashion which is hard for a balanced mind to process without instinctually rejecting it because it rings with insanity). And then there’s the deeper message that reaches our subconscious mind reminding us that when the governing command says so, we must walk in lock-step. It’s a dark, oppressive wolf of a message dressed up as design mutton.

I’m not saying the bags, t-shirts and signage are deliberately designed to keep us subconsciously in a state of oppression (though I’m not saying that’s not the case either). I am simply saying that before we adopt a slogan in our subconscious mind and in our collective via a seemingly innocuous outlet like design trends, we should think about the message a bit more.

Tongue Scraper

If you think you’re sexy…but you don’t use a tongue scraper, I hate to break it to you, but it maybe that you’re not as sexy as you think. The mouth is a major eliminative orifice. Researchers in the Netherlands discovered that a 10 second French kiss can spread 80 million bacteria between mouths.

But hang on and let’s go a level deeper because those germs are just the effect of pathogens developing among the waste that’s being excreted from deep in the body into the mouth (we always want to get to original cause, not get stuck on the symptom). What you need to know (and you’ll never hear this in a toothpaste commercial) is that intestinal waste moves through the tissues (even through the tiny channels that link the gums and intestines to other organs in the body) and it makes its way into the mouth (that’s why some people’s mouths actually smell like poo). Gross, sorry!

Never forget that your organism is a dynamic interconnected network that is nothing if not porous and pouring substances from system to system constantly.

I wouldn’t focus on the germs, that’s the superficial end effect – the tail wagging the dog. I would rather consider the way the body excretes its waste — through all its eliminative organs. Not so sexy to contemplate at first glance, but very sexy when you understand how it works and get a handle on real hygiene and what that means to you (and the one you play kissy-face with).

The stronger the fortitude of your organs, the more efficient the eliminative process is. So, when you are in the throes of deep tissue cleansing and beyond, you will want to be even more on top of your scrub-a-dub-dub routine. And always, always, always clean your mouth after exercise. For goodness sake, your body is sweating and expunging which means eliminative orifices are activated ever the more!

Tongue scraping is done before and/or after brushing — it should be done several times a day. In fact, brushing should be done 4-5 times a day, not 2-3 (always with a soft tooth brush) and taking care not to ram the gums as excessive brushing done improperly can recess the gums. And, of course always use fluoride free, natural toothpaste. Let’s not destroy brain cells when we brush.

Many years ago, I read somewhere that a clean kitchen sink was the mark of a clean house. From that day forward, I have kept an immaculate kitchen sink (and strive for order at home throughout as our spaces greatly influence our life experience). But here’s what I’m getting at…your mouth is like your kitchen sink. It should always be clean and there’s really nothing like a proper metal tongue scraper to ensure that’s the case.

Don’t be overzealous with your new tongue scraper in the early days as you can scratch your palate which isn’t nice (heals quickly tho). But over time, you’ll find just the right pressure and rhythm for the unique make-up of your mouth. I haven’t been to the dentist in over 7 years. I never get so much as a sensitivity in my mouth simply because the insides of my body are clean and I am fastidious (but never harsh) with my brushing and tongue scraping routine. They should be used in tandem multiple times daily. I know dentists and dental hygienists might get annoyed with me for saying so but this combo far exceeds the benefits of brushing and flossing by comparison.

Enjoy the sensation! Kiss kiss.
