The stillness of an inactive liver…

I am discovering that doing a liver flush is not conducive to writing a blog … very odd…

Well not that odd as at various points yesterday I felt weak and wobbly and sometimes sick – really thought I might throw up about three times – so yes, not very conducive to blog posting…

And I was laying in bed this morning thinking, “This feels SO peaceful, SO yummy! And that,  even though I can smell my sheets – that’s how much they need washing! – I feel such a sense of calm and stillness”…

And as I lay there pondering, musing – but very still,  pondering and musing – I became more and more aware of the quality of the calm and stillness – and I realised it was to do with my body…

And it occurred to me that because of how liver flushes work – I had not eaten anything from 2pm yesterday – and because of how the digestions works – everything I had eaten was carbohydrate (prescribed by the liver flush protocol) and so would have reached my small intestine by an absolute maximum of one hour (probably more like 30 minutes), and then would have taken another four hours to get to my colon (6pm) – I had my colonic around 7pm and so there was nothing much anywhere in my entire digestive system at that point…

Then I did the flush at 10pm – downing that fabulous concoction of 50% oil and 50% freshly squeezed grapefruit juice – worked hard not to throw up! And spent the night with it progressing down my gastrointestinal tract with some alacrity – and then my colon started ejecting it about 5.30am…

So by the time I was snuggled in my not so fragrant sheets around 9am this morning – musing – I had nothing in my stomach or small intestine – nothing being digested – just a bit of gurgling in my colon as it got ready to chuck out some of the water I’d drunk maybe with a little residual oil plus bile…

And as this dawned on me… and I scanned my body… I realised that this was the stillness, this was the calm… how often do I consume food in such a way that my liver, my small intestine, is not still working on breaking something down, absorbing something?  … there was nothing in my system that needed anything done to it – and everything was calm…

And it seemed to mean that my mind was calm and still too…

So is this my new recipe for “having the best time” ? – hell no! – I will be using wet wipes instead of loo paper for a while… 🙂

As a one off, an interesting experience in having “the best time” fine…  as a regular strategy? – I’d be permanently walking bow-legged – not good for my hump!
