Sat Nam all,

What we eat is not the only thing that can create a "strain on the digestive

tract" or any number of toxic situations in our bodies. As a matter of fact our

minds, alone, will do quite a number on us, even if we ate nothing

but fruit and water. It's been mentioned on this list, that an angry mind can

create enough toxins everyday to kill a small animal. This toxicity

is usually low in pH (more acid, yang in nature) and will accumulate in our

liver, which then lessens the strength of bile (alkaline and Yin) in

the gall bladder. When our bile is weak we are incapable of digesting any food

with fat or oil (the Fun foods). Along with this liver situation

being out of balance arise complications that totally screw with the pancreas

and it's ability to convert all of what we eat into glucose, roughly

stated. Yes, this liver needs to be taken care of. I am of the belief that a

person who has unresolved anger (misplaced bitterness) will not be

able to produce bile of a strong enough bitterness to handle those richer foods,

and it follows that if we can't digest the fat soluble that we

might not be able digest the richer aspects of what GOD throws at us on a daily

basis. Hot lemon at night before we sleep and in the morning are

great ways to gently flush the bile duct and facilitate clearing of the liver.

If one does this and they experience and lightness about them than

they can be quite sure that their liver is taxed. Make sure, however, to brush

your teeth immediately after so as to preserve tooth enamel.

We need to balance the powerful activities and secretions of the Kidney (deals

with the water soluble), Liver (the fat soluble) and pancreas which

is giving us the sweet. It is possible to be too sweet, so we need the bitter

and vice versa. The kidney/adrenals let us know when something is

wrong. We can listen or we can tune it out and shrink away from "knowing" and

therefore the capacity to balance is lessened. To more fully

appreciate this please check out http://www.sahej.com/organ_emotion.html It is

written by Kenneth Cohen, author of "The Way of Qigong: The Art and

Science of Chinese Energy Healing".

 

"Lao Zi suggests a distinction between healthy and unhealthy emotion in his

classic Dao De Jing; "The highest virtue is not virtuous, and is thus

virtu-ous "; that is, true virtue is not self-consciously or compulsively

virtuous. Compulsive do-gooders are really afraid of or denying their

own aggression and hostility. They try always to do what is "best," preferring

to be placating, submissive, or self-sacrificing rather than

expressing or fighting for what they genuinely feel, lest they "make waves."

"The sage is not a do-gooder," says Lao Zi. The sage is true to his

or her nature, neither compulsively following nor rebelling against rules of

conduct. The sage is capable of expressing emo-tions, including

anger, as necessary and appropriate to the situation. He or she practices

self-acceptance and is thus more accepting and understanding of others.

The first step in self-acceptance is giving oneself permission to feel what one

is feeling; then inner resistance and friction is lessened and

much of one's anger is already gone."

 

Sat Nam,

Dharam
