It’s Time To Take Our Power Back – Video
I’m Afraid To Die
It’s so interesting, young kids sometimes are spiritually drawn to me when I do readings.
At a recent fair a 10 year old boy came to me. His mother paid for his reading. I asked him, “So, how can I help you?” He confided in me, “I’m afraid to die.” At first, I was taken aback by what he said. I asked, “What do you mean?” “You know, I just don’t want to die”, he replied. Upon checking in with spirit I got the sense that he had died young in his prior life. In fact, he was about the same age as now. Thus his current age was the trigger for his unresolved death causing his fear.
I explained to him what I sensed and told him that he wasn’t going to die, at least not any time soon, upon which he replied again, “I don’t want to die.”
I saw that my explanation just wasn’t enough to help him with his fear. As such I asked him, “How would you like me to help you heal it right now?” He replied, “Yes.”
I took both his hands into mine, closed my eyes and engaged in a process of healing with him in spirit. I saw the time of his death in his prior life. A car ran into him as he was riding his bicycle. As I called in the proper healing energy, I suddenly felt his quivering stop. I now felt his calmness. I opened my eyes and asked him, “Are you feeling better?” “Yes”, he replied. I once again closed my eyes and completed the healing process. Then I opened my eyes and asked him, “So, how is your fear of dying? Still afraid?” He replied, “No. I never was afraid.” I was once again taken aback. “Well, what about your issue of not wanting to die?”, I asked. He replied, “I don’t have an issue. Never was an issue.” I suddenly realized, his unresolved death was healed. Not only was he not afraid anymore, he couldn’t even remember that he once was. I smiled and wished him well.
What Most Supports Life In This Moment?
The Boat
This is my new painting called “The Boat”. It is inspired by my own personal spiritual journey, as learned through the workings with my mentor Erika Niemann.
As we move into living life from the inside, rather than from the outside looking in, controlling every aspect of it becomes nearly impossible, as it is much like swimming in a river. Overwhelming and impossible to control. Life is rich, colorful and multifaceted with a lots of currents that can pull us into different directions. However, if we learn to work with life, trust and allow life to support and carry us, we may find an unprecedented peace, impossible to experience by living life from the outside looking in, fending for ourselves.
The best way to be in a symbiotic relationship with life and allow life to support us is by asking ourselves: “What most supports life in this moment?” The question puts us into the boat. The key to being supported by life is being in the boat.
Healing The Heart
Most all of us have experienced heart break or loss. Sometimes the pain can take us to our knees. I experienced my share of it. I remember the first time my Twin Flame left me, I felt like someone had stuck a dagger into my chest followed by ten trucks running over me. I was literally physically ill and hurting from the deep pain in my heart.
What most of us don’t realize is that beneath every heart-break are buried many others that we haven’t full digested, some may have even originated in other lifetimes. Like cumulative interest, all the unresolved heart breaks and losses will add intensity to our current and most recent loss. Thus it can make our current loss unbearable. The good news is that the heart can be healed.
Ignoring your pain may eventually lead to actual physical heart problems. Spirit has a way of getting your attention. Don’t let it get that far.
Here is a recent client’s testimonial about healing her heart:
During my first healing session with Dagmar, I could barely speak without crying. In fact, I had been sobbing uncontrollably in front of friends and neighbors and therapeutic counselors with no signs of recovery. My grief at being estranged from my only child and grandchild was overwhelming and I couldn’t imagine moving forward in my life. After my first healing session with Dagmar I knew there was hope for the future and I felt a peace that had eluded me for countless months. Six months later, after just four more sessions with Dagmar, the healing of my heart is nothing short of miraculous. Dagmar has literally led me on a path that saved my life. She has helped me heal both old and new spiritual and psychological wounds. After months of living with worry and panic and finding restful sleep almost impossible, I am now finding joy, purpose, peace and hope in my everyday life. Dagmar has a gift of healing that she shares with ease, generosity and humility. Without being religious, she is a ‘Godsend’ and I will be forever grateful that our paths have crossed.

Dealing with Anger?
Anger is such a powerful emotion! It is so powerful, it can be down right scary. Scary, when directed at us. Scary, when we are feeling it. It can overwhelm us. It can make us feel out of control. It can also provide a momentary false sense of power. However, acting from anger hardly ever gives us the results we really desire.
In our society, we desperately try to control it with anger management.
But, we can do one better!
Behind every anger there is a story, a story that wants to be heard. Anger actually comes from a wounded place and a deep sense of powerlessness.
Perhaps you have anger issues. Or perhaps you are reading this because a loved one is directing their anger at you, which only means that deep down you carry your own anger. However, you may have buried it so deep you don’t even know it’s there. Your loved one is mirroring it to you.
And yes, while your loved one may have their own anger issues, remember that you can’t change someone else. You can only change yourself! You have been guided to read this for a reason.
If you are ready do deal with the anger in your life, I am ready to help you uncover the story behind it and heal the wound underneath, wherever it may take us.
Watch anger dissipate and peace set in, as you find resolution within, and connect with your true power.

FEAR – Real or Imaginary?
As we progress in our ascension process, we hear about the importance of moving out of our fear and into a place of love. For those of you who have not heard of ascension, it is the spiritual shift we are undergoing and have been for some time. We are moving out of the third dimension, which is primarily fear based, and into the fifth dimension which is about unification and love. As part of this spiritual shift, we are attempting to re-connect with our spiritual selves and the source of our inner power and love.
Let’s explore fear, and how we can most effectively leave it behind and connect with that part of ourselves that is the source of our inner power and love. Wouldn’t it be nice, not having to live in fear anymore?
You might have heard the slogan FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real. It suggests that FEAR is imaginary. But is it?
When confronted by a bear, we might agree that our fear is real. There is nothing imaginary about facing a real life threat! But what about fear of speaking in public? In the absents of any threat to our life, is our fear real or imaginary? As such, we may conclude that fear is only real if we are faced with a real life threat. But is it?
What about the fear of flying? Just because we have a fear of flying doesn’t mean the airplane will crash. Does then flying an airplane pose a real threat to our life? Now we get into probabilities. How probable is it that our airplane will crash? We could reason that if the plane crashes, our fear was real, and if it didn’t crash, our fear was imaginary.
Some of us may believe that fear is our biggest ally because it protects us from danger. But does it? Let’s take a look. If the airplane crashed and therefore the threat to our life was real, then why were some of us not afraid to fly? Does fear then serve to protect only some of us and not others? And if the airplane did not crash and there was no reality to our fear, why then did some of us experience fear of flying? What was our fear protecting us from?
Ok, you may say, in that case our fear was imaginary. But, what does it mean, fear is imaginary? Why would anyone want to imagine being afraid? Ok, you might say, perhaps it is not the fear we imagine, perhaps it is the threat we imagine, based on our fear. Good point. But, what causes us to imagine a threat that’s not real? What causes us to be afraid in the first place?
Looking at the above examples, we can clearly see that in some cases we can experience fear in spite of any real threat, whereas in other cases we may be facing a real threat and not experience any fear at all. So, if the threat itself is not causing us to be afraid, then what is? And is our fear real or imaginary?
I venture to say that fear is real. After all, it is an emotion, and emotions are real. If we feel them, we feel them. We really feel fear, even if we can’t justify it. I mean, how do we imagine feeling fear, right? Perhaps the better question is why do we feel fear?
Based on my years of experience I have come to learn that fear is very closely related to our past pain. I mean, how do we know to be afraid of something unless we have experienced pain there before? Take a child, for example, who may be completely fearless around a stove, until it burns its hand. Afterward, the same child will experience fear around touching the stove. Isn’t this what happens to us when we have our heart broken, when we are rejected, when we are judged and persecuted, or when we experience physical pain, like perhaps falling off a bike?
I know, you want me to explain the fear of flying. After all, if you had crashed with an airplane, you wouldn’t be alive to experience any fear of flying. So, why do some of us experience it? Well, I venture to say that you probably have crashed with an airplane, but it happened in another lifetime. This brings up the question of past lifetimes, which may very well be a question in your mind, but is not a question in mine. Over the course of many years of healing work I have witnessed many fears experienced by my clients in present time that originated from pain they have experienced in other lifetimes.
As such, feeling fear has nothing to do with the reality of a threat in present time. Our fear is based on our past. The only basis fear has in our present is that the circumstances may look similar to that of our past. In fact, our fear can very much distort our perception of our present, because while it may look similar it may not be the same at all. And we tend to project our past onto our present. I venture to say that our fear is real, because it is based on real pain. However, the present time danger may not be real at all.
Fear is a big part of our very primitive survival mechanism. It is based on the probability that we may experience pain under similar circumstances as we have in our past. All pain, by the way, is considered anti survival, no matter if physical, mental or emotional. This is just how primitive our survival mechanism is. It doesn’t differentiate between a potentially life threatening situation and one where the perceived threat is mental or emotional. Is it any wonder that according to statistics our fear of public speaking can be greater than that of dying? And just how well is fear aiding in our survival? Let’s take a look.
Perhaps you have heard or even experienced how fear can paralyze us, or cause us to hesitate in crucial moments, or cause us to place unjustified judgements on people or situations. Imagine a police officer hesitating using his or her gun when being shot at. Imagine feeling paralyzed standing in the doorway while facing a bear, when what is called for is to act quickly, step back and close the door. Imagine someone panicking under water as they are being dunged over and over, and because they are panicked they keep trying to come up for air in the same place. On the other hand, if they were not panic stricken they might swim out a foot or two and would be able to come up for air. Imagine being falsely accused because of someone’s fear. How many of us have been accused of witch craft and persecuted in our past lifetimes because of our psychic or healing abilities, because someone was afraid of our powers? And how well did the accuser fair when killing the very person that could help him heal? Imagine one partner falsely accusing the other of cheating out of fear of being betrayed, destroying the relationship in the process.
What about all those times when we experience fear in the wake of no threat? How is fear serving us then? How about when it is part of our soul’s purpose to speak in public, and because of our fear we rather forgo living an inspired life? How about when we meet our soul mate, and because of our fear of a possible heart break, we bypass the love of our life? How about when we’re guided to the person who can help us most on our spiritual path, and then we second guess ourselves, preventing ourselves from getting the help we need? How about when we forgo investing in ourselves out of fear of not having enough, and ultimately prevent ourselves from having all the abundance we deserve? How about when our fear prohibits us from leaving our house, driving our car, or flying an airplane? We may be surviving, but are we thriving? Are we living the life we are meant to live?
Perhaps then the more important question is, should we allow our fear to guide our actions? A shaman once taught me that we should never allow our emotions to guide us. Our emotions are far too temporary and volatile to be a dependable guide. The purpose of our emotions is to express. Our actions and decisions should be guided by our spirit, our higher self, which knows the bigger picture, is the source of our inner power and love, and always has our highest good in mind.
So, how do we get past the fear factor?
First and foremost, it helps to recognize when we are coming from a place of fear. If we are experiencing fear, anxiety, panic, stress, anger or any other upsetting emotions, surely we are subconsciously connected to our unresolved past, and our perception of our present time may be skewed. At the same time, we can’t be connected to our inner power and love. However, if we are emotionally neutral about a situation, we can safely assume that we have a clear connection to our higher self. Spirit shows up as a sense of knowing. It doesn’t come attached with emotions.
Recognizing which place we are coming from, we can make better choices. We can choose not to act from a place of fear, where we don’t see clearly. In the case of fear urging us to act, we can choose not to act. We can choose to postpone making any major decisions. In the case of fear preventing us from taking action, we can choose to feel the fear and do it anyway. I’m not saying that this is easy. This may not be easy at all, depending on the intensity of your fear, which is directly related to the intensity of your past pain. This is, by the way, where spiritual blocks come from. They can be very powerful. You may or may not be able to overcome your fear by shear will power.
But we can overcome our fear by smart power. Here is the secret to overcoming fear. We have to heal our past pain, the source of our fear. In the absents of pain there is no fear. Given the same situation that had us tied up in knots before, we can now confront it completely unfazed and remain connected to our inner power and love. And unlike fear, our spirit will always steer us correctly.
You don’t have to keep living with fear! Spiritual healing is the answer. Spiritual healing is about transformation, transformation of our unresolved past pain into wisdom. Healing our pain also helps us rise vibrationally into the higher dimensions. Pain is generally heavy on the soul. Thus when transformed into wisdom we feel lighter. This is why now, during ascension, is such a crucial time for us to heal. We are now more than ever before supported to do just that.

Healing Into Abundance
Abundance is what we naturally already have. It’s all around us.
So, why do some of us feel like we can’t quite access it, like we don’t have enough?
Ultimately it has everything to do with how we feel on the inside. Our reality is a mere reflection of our inner self.
We cannot change our feeling of not having enough by earning more money.
A classic example is a recent client testimonial:
“I always held two jobs, even though one job provided me with more than enough money to live very comfortably. In spite of things, I never felt I had enough, no matter how much money I made. Since completing numerous healing sessions with Dagmar, I feel a sense of calm I never felt before, and I finally feel that I can hold onto my money. I now give money away and it comes right back to me. …without any effort on my part. What a great feeling not having to worry anymore! I can now relax and enjoy life.”
…but we can change the feeling of not having enough by reconciling deep within ourselves our unresolved experiences.
Gastrointestinal Problems?
Hello America…. It’s become an epidemic! Gastrointestinal problems! Who doesn’t have them these days? The medical industry has even added a new specialty, “Gastrointestinal Specialists”. I actually had to laugh in disbelief one day when I saw a sign that said just that on the outside of a building. Who’s heard of such a thing even 20 years ago?
Recently I came across a video on Facebook about “4 things not to eat that destroy your digestive tract”. I felt compelled to watch it. I was curious because I have developed my own theories about gastrointestinal issues. After all, I’m in America and I’m not immune to Americanisms. What I mean by Americanisms are the -isms that we as a society, in America, create for ourselves as a result of our lifestyle. I live in America and thus I am part of the American lifestyle, no matter how much I try to alter my individual lifestyle. Therefore, I too have dealt with GI problems. Along the way, I have learned a few things, particularly what works for my gut and what doesn’t. I continue to learn as I continue to observe and listen to my body.
I get really frustrated by the fact that everything is being continuously blamed on food. There is nothing inherently wrong with basic food in itself, except for what’s being put in it that doesn’t belong there. I will explain in a minute. What causes massive confusion, I believe, are the different fads that change daily, like for example yesterday bananas were really bad for you and today they’re the cure-all for everything. I’m just kidding about the bananas, by the way. However, yesterday red meat wasn’t all that good for you because of cholesterol and today, as it turns out, we need cholesterol. Yesterday chicken noodle soup was an old wife’s tale and today “bone broth” is the best thing since sliced bread, especially for healing your gut. Yesterday butter was really bad for you, again too much fat and too much cholesterol, and margarine became the new health food. Today we know that margarine is really bad for you because of the kinds of fats in it and butter is actually quite good for you. Anyway, you get the picture. I can go on and on. It can drive anyone mad. What to believe, right?
First of all, I don’t believe in fads. The biggest reasons is because fads change all the time. Let’s take it back to basics and take out the confusion. Consider that food is actually good for you when it’s closest to its nature, preferably organic and without any additives. The key is the nutrition food provides. Donuts, for example, don’t grow on trees, thus I would not consider them very close nature, nor do I consider then very nutritious. However, food like vegetables or fruits grown organically or meat that is fed naturally or raised organically or fish caught in the wild is, in fact, good for you. Chicken McNuggets, for example, which are processed and spongy, I would not consider very close to nature. I’m not certain what’s in them because chicken doesn’t have a spongy texture to it generally. Nor would I consider close to nature Wonder Bread or Twinkies, which stay spongy forever and never grow any mold. In Europe, at least when I was there, bread turned hard in three days. And if you didn’t eat something in a week it started growing mold. This, by the way, is natural.
Perhaps you might see why I was curious about the video “4 things not to eat…”, expecting some new fad. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The video was put together by a doctor who was promoting a new set of pro-biotics, which are very essential for our gut, but I believe not the end-all. I’ll explain more later. However, the information presented in the video was very much in alignment with my personal understandings. Here are the 4 things the video specified not to eat because they would destroy your digestive tract.
1. Azodicarbonamide Apparently, this is a chemical additive used in all sorts of breads, particularly in the fast food industry and other supermarket breads. Apparently it makes the bread more spongy. Well, now we know where Wonder Bread gets its spongyness. It is also used in bleaching flour. Well, apparently this chemical is so bad for you that certain countries have banned it completely. Oh, not the United States, however. We like our Gastrointestinal Problems! I’m sure the Pepto-Bismol and Tums industries are booming right now. Not to mention, we don’t want to put the new professions like “GI Specialists” out of business, ….yet. Hey, but don’t take my word for it. Do your own research.
In any case, I learned something new. I actually didn’t know about Azodicarbonamide. Not that it matters too much, because I generally avoid all chemicals. I don’t think that any chemical additive is actually good for you. And by the way, I buy unbleached and preferably also unbromated flour.
Interestingly enough, in light of this newly acquired knowledge about Azodicarbonamide I wouldn’t be surprised that this chemical is contributing significantly to our other epidemic, namely “gluten intolerance”. I always thought that it is not the bread we’ve been eating for eons that we are suddenly intolerant to, but rather what’s being put in it that doesn’t belong there. It’s as simple as this, Azodicarbonamide doesn’t belong in anybody’s diet. I don’t care how spongy, shiny or elastic it makes the dough.
2. Diet Sodas – particularly artificial sweeteners. These are chemicals. And like other chemicals they are not good for you. They have been actually proven to help you gain weight. In the video the doctor explained that artificial sweeteners are like rocket fuel for gut yeast and an overgrowth of gut yeast only adds to your overall problems. Not only that, I know people who are actually addicted to this stuff. Well, it is after all a chemical.
3. Coffee – Again, the real concern voiced in the video was actually the artificial sweeteners and the loads of sugar used in the pre-sweetened specialty coffees. Again, all rocket fuel for gut yeast.
4. Alcohol – It kills healthy bacteria.
And BINGO! In my opinion, that is the real problem, right here! The killing of healthy bacteria! Alcohol isn’t the only culprit that kills healthy bacteria. In fact, I believe Alcohol is the smaller of offenders when comparing our consumption of it to that of, you guessed it, chemicals, unless you are an alcoholic and drink alcohol by the buckets.
By chemicals I mean, for example, antibiotics. They are specifically designed to kill bacteria. Recently I had undergone a couple of procedures and was given some new antibiotics. I never suffered from so many skin rashes and yeast infections in my life. By killing the good bacteria we strip our bodies of our natural defenses against just about anything. Killing off all our good bacteria is like incapacitating the entire United States Armed Forces. How comfortable would you feel leaving yourself that vulnerable on your home front, virtually at the mercy of any intruder? Why then are you willing to do just that when it comes to your body? Isn’t your body where you live, your home?
I am not saying, don’t ever take antibiotics, because sometimes we need to take drastic measures. It is not the one single use of antibiotics that causes epidemics like GI problems. I believe it is the constant overuse and quantum of chemicals in all areas of our lives that causes a problem of this magnitude. It’s like we went to war against bacteria, failing to recognize the significant role bacteria plays and thus having caused a huge imbalance and continue to do so.
Let’s look at some other chemicals. For example, preservatives in our food. Just think, preservatives are designed to preserve food, meaning they prevent food from naturally breaking down. Incidentally, what breaks down food? Bacteria. Isn’t that interesting? So, preservatives (chemicals) once again kill bacteria to keep food from spoiling. Well, guess what those preservatives are doing in your gut when you eat them in your food? They are preventing your gut from breaking down the food properly. Would you say that this is an issue for your digestion? Ultimately, what is digestion? Isn’t that what your gut is supposed to do? Break down food?
Your gut is very comparable to the residential septic system. In the Colorado Mountains you are not hooked up to the city sewer. Houses in the mountains have their own individual septic systems. It is my understanding that the septic system works on the basis of bacteria breaking down the waste. The first thing you’re told is not to pour any chemicals down your septic system. Why? Because it kills the bacteria and thus causes the septic system to fail. Well, your gut works much the same way. How careful are you not to pour any chemicals into your private septic system, your gut?
Chemicals aren’t just preservatives in our food, they are pesticides, over the counter drugs, prescription drug, anti-psychotic drugs like antidepressants, anesthesia from surgery, antibiotics, recreational drugs, cleaning products like anti-bacterial soap, air-fresheners and fabric fresheners, skin care and hair care products. You don’t think the chemicals you put on your skin soak into your body? Think again. And what’s in the water you drink or the air you breath? I can go on and on. I think you get the picture.
So, what did I actually get from the video as to the four foods not to eat? Chemicals, chemicals, chemicals and chemicals! Yes, the video also addressed sugar, but I believe you can have some sugar, just don’t eat it by the buckets. Perhaps consider eating raw unrefined sugar instead of the kind that is bleached or processed with chemicals. Perhaps you might want to consider buying regular coffee and sweeten it yourself with a teaspoon of sugar instead of buying the pre-sweetened specialty coffee that has an equivalent of one or two cups of sugar in it or artificial sweeteners. If you have an overgrowth of yeast problem in your gut, you may have to take some drastic measures and leave out sugar for the time being. I would recommend talking to your nutritionist to restore the balance in your gut.
So what are some of the solutions here? These are some of what I have concluded and learned that has worked for me. But, by all means do your own research and listen to your own gut!
1. Significantly reduce the amount of chemicals you consume or come in contact with.
It’s not easy, but it can be done. Following are a few tips, hopefully giving you some ideas.
Do you really need 10 different cleaning products for your household? I use regular dish soap for everything. Do you really need bleach to kill all the bacteria in your home? I know commercials sell you on this, but remember there are benefits to bacteria. You would NOT want to pour bleach down your septic system. Understand that your immune system is made up of good bacteria. Exposure to bad bacteria (in measure) helps your body strengthen its immune system by producing more good bacteria. Thus if you kill all bacteria, you are compromising your immune system, which by the way lives in your gut.
Read the labels on all food products. And by labels I strictly mean the ingredients list on the back, not the advertisement on the front of the label. If it has preservatives in it or ingredients you can’t pronounce, don’t buy it and don’t eat it. Try to buy organic produce, without pesticides.
Do you need to be on all those medications? Consult with your doctor. Perhaps you can get off some of your meds. A while ago I remember a push for the consumption of baby-aspirin on a daily basis as a preventative measure. Now they are finding that it is not really that healthy for you. I mean, let’s face it, it is a drug (chemical). And while your body may be deficient in Vitamin A, it will never be deficient in baby-aspirin. I, for example, have not taken any aspirin or over the counter or prescription drugs for years. I now treat any headaches, anxieties, depression, pain or whatever else with spiritual healing, a completely natural and healthy way of getting to the source of the problem. Also know that garlic, for example, is a natural blood thinner, if that is why you take baby-aspirin.
2. Yes, get on some good Pro-Biotics.
Replenishing the bacteria in your gut is absolutely essential. I would especially recommend it after you have undergone surgery and have been pumped full of anesthesia and/or antibiotics. I would not consider yogurt a good source of pro-biotics. There’s not nearly enough of those little critters in yogurt and depending on what else is added into the yogurt, like sugar or preservatives it may counter act what ever small amount of critters there are. I would consider some more potent pro-biotics. Again, do your own research. There is loads of information on the internet.
3. Detoxify your body.
While your body has its natural methods of detoxification, chemicals don’t all leave your body. They actually accumulate over time. Thus helping your body detoxify becomes a very important step. As long as the chemicals are in your body they keep killing off your good bacteria and counter acting any pro-biotics you take while wreaking havoc.
I have undergone some drastic detoxification methods with which I, for example, eliminated horrible allergies I suffered from some years ago. It seemed I was so toxic at one point that my immune system became extremely over-reactive. During this process, amongst other things, I learned just how long chemicals can stay in your body. I ran out, for example, nicotine after having been quit smoking for 5 years. It turns out that the residue of chemicals stores in your body’s fat cells and can remain there for quite some time. Your body seems to actually produce fat in order to extract chemicals from your blood stream to protect your main system. The problem is when you burn fat and release these chemicals back into your blood stream, you can experience the same reaction as if you had just taken that drug. In my case I re-experienced the urge to smoke as I ran out the nicotine, while the nicotine was being released from my fat cells back into my blood stream momentarily, as it was on its way out of my body. By the way, at that time I had quit smoking for some time and was not normally experiencing any more urges to smoke.
About a year ago I had undergone a couple of procedures under full anesthesia, which was one of those necessary evils I had to do. Just from the antibiotics I experienced skin rashes and yeast infections I never in my life had before. It took me months to restore that particular balance in my body, yes, by eating a lot of pro-biotics. The anesthesia is an entirely different story. First of all, it’s extremely toxic to your body and heavy on your system. Three months after my last procedure I could hardly stay awake after meals and I’m not even going to mention my GI problems. I tried another detox method, namely Colon Hydrotherapy, which absolutely worked wonders for me. Colon Hydrotherapy is a method of cleansing the colon with water. There are centers that specialize in this procedure and have the proper equipment. Just to give you some idea, at that time I did three Colon Hydrotherapy Sessions in a row, one per week, over the course of three weeks. It eliminated my tiredness by at least 80% and improved my gut functionality considerable. Almost a year later I did it again. Even though not as much as initially, I still felt sluggish and particularly tired right after meals and my GI issues flared up again. I still can’t believe the difference it has made for me. If you are having problems you might try this. Nothing like cleaning out your colon.
4. Reduce stress.
This brings me to the 4th point. Stress. I’ve noticed throughout my healing practice that stress tends to travel quite a bit through our gut. Our body tends to experience stress, particularly when we are on a subconscious level connecting with some past unresolved experience which usually involves some form of pain, emotional or physical. Our natural survival instinct tends to use stress as a warning signal to get us to leave a particular situation in which we have experienced pain before. “Before” can mean in your past in this life or in a previous life. Pain is considered anti-survival by our survival instinct. The idea is that the more pain we experience the more likely we are to die.
Our natural tendency to connecting with our past pain is to experience resistance. It’s this stress and resistance that can cause us problems in our GI tract. I’ve observed that bloating, for example, is a classic reaction to resistance in our body. Also the inability to digest food. We can also suffer either from constipation or diarrhea. If you look at the physical as a mirror to the spiritual, you might see that your digestive problems might reflect that you have a difficult time in processing your unresolved past pain, which is a form of digestion that happens in your soul. We have to digest our experiences or pain to transform them into wisdom for the soul. If we are backed up with unresolved pain, we may experience it, for example, in the form of constipation.
This subject is so vast, I can’t possibly express everything I have learned and know in this one article. However, I am hoping to have given you perhaps a different perspective and some ideas and concepts that you can utilize to your benefit and make some sense of things for yourself. Don’t take my word for anything, however! Do your own research and do what makes sense for you! Most of all learn to listen to your body and your inner guide, your spirit! No one knows better than you what works for you and what you need. However, you may have to reconnect with yourself first and learn to listen to yourself. If you are disconnected from yourself, listening to yourself won’t work. If you need help, get the help you need!
Namaste!
