Colonic Irrigation and Letting Go

Welcome to the Mind-Body- Spiritual perspective of Colonic Hydrotherapy, a.k.a. Colonic Irrigation, a.k.a. Colonics!  Here is my journey with Colonics.  Here I tell you a bit about how I arrived at such a journey and about the journey itself.  
     I had had a colonic once before, about 8 years prior while on a Raw Food cleanse.  It was a relatively simple colonic treatment that left me feeling less bloated, brightened my complexion and gave my cheeks a natural fresh flush of colour.  So having a colonic this time around wasn't entirely new territory for me.  What was new for me, however, is where I was in my Life.  I had very recently returned from an intensive Spiritual Psychotherapy training in California, and I felt that my whole body-mind and even Spirit had to up-level in order to integrate the teachings.  I had an intuitive feeling that this colonic irrigation was going to be a major piece that would assist me in letting go of any part of my past, any old programming, and out-dated belief systems that kept me anchored in a place or way of being that no longer felt resonant.  This colonic would thus allow me to further Align with my true Self, my true Life, the one that was emerging for me if only I could find it within me to allow it.  
    It was Easter weekend and I pulled up to the Renaissance Clinic.  How appropriate.  The same weekend Jesus would Die and be Resurrected, was the same weekend that I would go through my own kind of death and rebirth.  I would Let Go of a remarkable amount inner baggage I knew I had on an emotional level that was being held on a physical level in my gut.   Aside from the fact that my skin was not great and that I felt physically heavy, I also was carrying an essence of depression on some level, felt stuck in general and suffered mental lethargy with bouts of negativity.  I felt like I was in a repetitive trance where it was very hard for me to move forward in my Life; I was stuck.  
    As I sat in my car outside of the Renaissance Clinic I decided to check in with myself and acknowledge that I was about to be letting go of a lot here.  I was about to be releasing what no longer served me and this was largely energetic, emotional and mental in Nature.  I asked myself if I was ready to do that, to Let Go.  Part of me remained silent as though it was not ready and part of me gave a ‘yes okay let’s do this.’  I knew that my mind-body would have to be in sync with this experience in order for me to let go enough for this treatment to work the way it needed to work- for me to let go and step into the upgrade.         
    Speaking of letting go, I had seen post after post after post on Instagram saying ‘Let Go.’  I saw so many posts back to back, over and over,  I literally thought to myself ‘did I miss the memo on international Let Go day/week/month?’  I then realized that I was synchronistically being shown again and again to Let Go.  It really wasn't until I was in the car, minutes before the colonic that I consciously realized what was happening.  I was about to let go.  I was about to let go of years and years of physically and emotionally impacted and stagnating material.  During that ninety minute session, the amount of waste and toxins that was released in that session Amazed me.  Six massive cylinders of water flushed in and out of my colon, taking the stuck waste and stuck emotions with it.  
    During the session I felt a wave of sadness rush over me, the kind of sadness that you might feel in a pigeon pose in a yoga class, where emotions just come up and out.  Tears rolled down my face as the flood of emotion flushed through and out of my system.  I could not hold my words in as I felt they were paramount to my healing so I said to the beautiful, kind and calm practitioner “May I talk?”  She encouraged me to say whatever was on my Heart/Mind.  I told her “I did these studies in California that had to do with Shamanism and I feel that this colonic irrigation is me getting rid of the stuff that is old and holding me back so that these new teachings and energy can land and anchor in me and up-level me.  I have to get rid of the old stuff so this new upgrade can integrate.”  She then began to tell me about some of her own experiences with Shamanism as she massaged my belly to keep moving the waste out of me.  She says that by implementing her Shamanic tools she has many spot-on intuitive hits about her clients.  Imagine that: combining energy medicine with a very physical health treatment.  Brilliant.  
    After our session she had me hang out for a little while.  I felt like she wanted me to just rest for a minute as she figured out her spotty internet connection to process my payment.  I would normally be slightly impatient but I just relaxed and she gave me some fresh pressed juice and I read a book on plant medicine and how the plants speak to us and I opened the book to the section on the Lotus.  I smiled as I was reminded myself of the old spiritual adage: “no mud, no lotus” which so vividly portrayed my situation of no mud (poop/waste), no lotus (healing/spaciousness).  
    I was exhausted after my session and took two naps that afternoon before going to sleep for a solid nine hours.  My dreams were crystal clear and vivid.  There was no fogginess - like what did I dream? I knew exactly what I dreamed and experienced the dream with crystal clarity with incredible recall upon waking.   I started to feel a real sense of renewal.  I’ve witnessed my limiting beliefs dissolve since that colonic.  Areas in my life where I couldn't seem to move forward, I now see a way forward.  I’ve watched memories from childhood come back as well- just this morning I remembered how much I was into weaving as a child.  I remembered it in this super visceral and vivid way.  I am now able to access parts of myself that were not available to me for a very long time.  Another thing that happened is that I am able now to see myself even more Clearly.  I am able to see my own Power.  Everyone has this Power and Beauty in them.  It is our Divine right and gift.  It can be hard to see when the old stuff, beliefs, patterns are stuck and in the way.  This ancient technique of colonic hydrotherapy has a revolutionizing effect on my Mind-Body-Spirit system.
    And guess what?  I am not done letting go!  My hydrotherapist said I still have one more session to do since there was still some material stuck in the upper colon.  I intuitively know that this is the part of me that made itself known that it wasn't ready to move when I did the check in in the car.  I can feel this other emotional piece, this old luggage and baggage has started to move through my system now that the other stuff is gone.  It is not comfortable.  The liver, which can hold and store anger, had released it’s toxicity and with it pent up emotions (mainly anger and frustration) that I had been holding in and back for months ripped out of my system one morning.  It was an incredible moment that I could not have anticipated.  My Kali energy ripped right through me like a Lightening Bolt.  So careful, colonics do release a lot.  Be tender and gentle and protect your energy and nourish yourself gently pre and post colonic.  
    All in all, the colonic for me means letting go and Rebirth.  If you are ready for a shift, or want something to support your transformation, consider getting a colonic.  Don’t forget to check in with yourself first and set an intention and let go and Allow.  Make sure you get an Amazing practitioner.  Make sure you get the Whole Sacred Experience.  Bless you on your Journey.  Bless you.
