Emotional Detox!

[Carlene]

So many things are happening to me since going raw. My eyesight, my body, my energy and enthusiasm have all been affected. Detox is talked about so much here that I have been bracing myself for it, but I never expected my first detox to be an emotional one: (Copied from my journal today).

First let me preface this with the fact that when I was young my father and I were at odds with each other. It was a major stumbling block in my life, but at 30 (18 years ago) we had it out and resolved or rather figured out what went wrong between us, and moved on. When he died 9 years ago I was the one at his side, the one he called for to ease his passing. With that said I find the dreams I had last night very...well...something.

Last night I had three dreams, each related, but seperate. In each dream, people were telling me that my father dispised me. That from an early age (images of myself at 4 and 5) my father saw me as a monster and wanted nothing to do with me. But it was wrong. I keep telling them that showing me these things and telling me these things was wrong because my father and I had resolved all of our issues. Then in all three dreams, it hit me. I'm detoxing. I even told each one of them: "This is just part of the cleanse from my raw diet, nothing more."

How odd is that? Emotional detox, not something I was expecting.

How odd is that? Emotional Detox - it is odd isn't it, but wonderful that it is happening. I have found that many times, our healing is predicated on what we believe and how we affirm those things.

Carlene, what a blessing you received to be able to see the last piece in your thoughts and to be able to truly banish them into the sea of forgetfulness. Thanks for sharing this.

Wow... that's really cool that you remembered you were detoxing!

What is wonderful to me, is that you were "present" enough to tell those that were attempting to speak negatively into your life, the real truth of the situation. Sometimes we are not even able to do that in our dreams, and we walk away more distraught than before.....
Wow!

I know exactly what you are talking about and have experienced something very simular to this and I have also had wakeful emotional detox as well. Many times in fact. I was raw for 6 months and then about 60% raw for about 4 months and now raw for 20 days. I have been extremely emotional lately not cycle related either. It is helpful to know that it is detox , as this helps to get through the feelings. But they can be very intense. Take care and celebrate your detox you are one step closer to true health.
