    Default A new experience with detoxing

    Lately i've been getting sharp pains in my shoulders and at times it seems that my thoughts outrun my words, sometimes when i talk i hear myself so plain that it's like someone is talking and then when i start to focus on what i'm saying my words get jumbled up. I sound so funny sometimes that i have to stop and speak slowly or my words run together.
    I gotten weak from running back and forth to the bathroom so much, thank God for bananas it helped.
    And my whole body from top to bottom gets hot and stays that way for about a minute and goes away, this is so odd to me.
    Am i alone in these new symptoms or has anyone else had similiar experiences?

    Smile body stuff

    I have had many of these symptoms. SLowing speach down is a part of my practice. I believe the raw diet helps to process many other things that the body wants to say. The bathroom thing? Yeah, I still run to the bathroom. Sometimes in there for a bit every morning. Thankfully those mornings I don't have to be somewhere quick. I've only been raw for three months. I'm assuming there is just more to expell. The shoulder thing? Again, once we eat raw, the body has more energy to process. Emotional and physical. Could just be an energy center. Maybe a past hurt. Emotional or physical. Just be with it. Send it light. Send breath there. If it gets worse, have it checked out. Pain comes and go. It was impossible to "feel" all the pain of our life. Our body stored some of it. Now, it may be ready to feel it. Sometimes you don't have to do anything. Just sit with it. Be well.

    Oh, and the heat thing too? Just energy moving around. That's a good thing.

    Talking Thanks Raw Mom

    :) You know i'm recieving every thing you said with joy.
    It's sound right, the pain is quick and then goes away, it's kind of like different parts of my body is reawakening and where i think it's a bad thing it may just be a good thing that's happening in my body.
    Thanks again, i have a new outlook on what's happening now. I'll embrace it and have more love for my body .
