Cleansing of all types of toxins:
Digestive, Emotional, Spiritual, Relational, & Environmental
The best and most efficient pharmacy is within your own system. ~Robert C. Peale
A big trend in holistic health is "detox" from detox diets and detox teas to colon cleanses and enemas, everyone wants to get rid of the toxins in our bodies from everything from junk food to second-hand smoke to chemicals in our personal care products. From a physical perspective, a toxin is anything that inhibits our body from performing at peak ability. We ingest toxins in the foods we eat. We inhale toxins from auto fumes, smoke, and chemicals released in the air. We absorb toxins through our skin from lotions, deodorants, cosmetics, and cleaning products. At the same time, we expel toxins from our body through our excretory system, through our breath, and through our sweat. Toxins are everywhere, and it is very easy to get overwhelmed trying to avoid them all and cleanse them out of our systems.
From an energetic perspective, a toxin is anything that blocks us from our Truth. At our core, the depth of our being, we are love. Thus, a toxin is anything that causes us to forget or behave in a manner that is not in alignment with the love at the core of our being. A toxin, like stress, is anything that is not love. Thus, we are also subject to toxins in our world from the words we hear, the thoughts we think, the energy of the people and environments around us.
Detox rituals are any cleansing or purification process that help us to release the toxins, both physical and energetic. To be optimally beneficial, a detox ritual will hold both physical and spiritual elements. Mankind has been performing detox rituals for thousands of years, from sweat lodges to sun dances to grief rituals. In more recent years, modernity has focused more of the detox ritual on the physical in the form of detox teas, detox diets, enemas, colon cleanses, and saunas. Quite often, we emerge from these practices feeling cleansed, but also drained, because the energetic and spiritual element to the ritual is lacking.
In this Detox Ritual Yoga TeriLeigh will guide you through a physical asana practice inspired by the teaching of Seane Corn. The series is designed to rinse, cleanse, and process the physical toxins in our bodies. Through compression, decompression, and twists, every organ, tendon, muscle, ligament, and tissue in the body is worked towards optimal purification. The practice is ideally held in a heated room to promote sweat. During the practice, TeriLeigh's hands-on assists, energetic healing practice, and spiritual guidance offer a full and complete experience in which students will feel cleansed, purified, rejuvenated, and connected with the truth of their essence, LOVE.
