The Role Of Neptune For Detoxifying Your Body & The Healing Power Of Far Infrared Sauna

The temple of your soul- your body needs attention!

Last week additionally to the New Moon, we had four other planets in Pisces infusing the week with Neptunian spirit and an invitation for a deepening inner orientation and focus. I have discussed the general qualities of Pisces and the spiritual dimension of the 12th sign in the evolution of the zodiac. This week we still have the Sun, Venus, Jupiter and Uranus in Pisces as well as Neptune conjoining Mercury. You could say the stars are in perfect alignment for us now to tend to the healing dimension of Pisces as well as the spiritual dimension.

Neptune rules Pisces and, with Jupiter, the 12th House (the Personal Connection with the Divine & the Invisible Realms). In the body Neptune rules the feet, pineal gland, thalamus, psychological neuroses, and unresolved illnesses.

Neptune

Neptune is the Roman god of the sea (Greek Poseidon), reflected in the deep blue color of the planet. This is not a very literal or concrete planet. It is associated with many nonmaterial, sometimes nebulous and transcendent principles: religion and spirituality, fantasy, imagination, creativity in art and music, idealism, compassion, love, higher states of consciousness and connectedness to the divine, mysticism, and psychic phenomena. And it is also representing poison, drugs, toxins, gases, addictions, and degenerative, the life force diminishing influences.

Individuals under the influence of Neptune may be drawn to careers and activities that afford withdrawal into the self, such as monks or nuns. Neptune at its best supports our strivings toward inspiration, service and insight, but its negative influence is associated with addiction, weakness, illusions, and deception.

Highlights of the week:
•    Mercury Neptune conjunction in Aquarius
•    Sun joins Jupiter at 9 degrees Pisces
•    Moon is in flexible Gemini, moves into emotional Cancer and then into   analytical Virgo

Your Body is Your Temple: And it is High Time for Some House Cleaning

Last week after a month of delay in the postal system I finally got the book Detoxify or Die by Sherry Rogers, M.D. I had ordered, probably because it was just the right time for me. I read it twice in 5 days. Having accumulated many symptoms over the years starting with debilitating migraines and headaches on a regular base, arthritis in my hands, severe allergies, skin problems, Candida and other things I have tried on and off different approaches to detox and clean out my body. I have experimented with all kinds of healthy diets and cleansings which have not provided me with a break through experience of getting much better. I even did colonics for 10 days ending with a profound liver cleanse, okay I won’t get into that right now… (If you like to read a real fun description of a liver cleanse Arjuna Ardagh did a great article on his liver cleanse)

Let’s just say I am still motivated to find easy ways to get better and improve my health. Reading the book Detoxify or Die has been very inspiring and got me into action. I often have been very frustrated in the past with reading health books because just realizing the extent of our environmental pollution and toxic exposure through air, water, food made me feel very helpless and angry. And the offered solutions seemed to be very expensive, hard to do and often made me go through major activations of my symptoms. I often ended up in that place of overwhelm and frustration; I knew I should detox more in depth but felt unable to follow through with the offered solutions. Have you ever been there?

When I read this book many bits and pieces of information I already had were falling into place for me.

The Far Infrared Sauna Offers Hope

This is not just another book about how bad our toxicity level is because of our life style and toxic exposure we cannot avoid, it actually gives a pretty simple way to detox and clean out the temple for our divine soul. The message is to use the new technology of the Far Infrared Sauna and sweat it all out. (You want to read the book because you need to replenish your minerals and nurse the process along with supplement.) It is a long term approach for deep detox without overloading the detox organs like liver, kidneys, lymphatic system and blood and reactivating drug symptoms or stimulating healing crisis. It elevates your mood (raising your endorphins) and makes you feel very relaxed and so clean… I love it!

What Makes the Infrared Sauna Different?

Infrared Sauna contains the lowest end of spectrum of wavelength with the longest and most healing rays. This sauna works on a significantly lower temperature then normal sauna, between 100-150 F compared to dry or Finnish Sauna at 160-200 F. It induces 2-3 times the sweat volume then the regular sauna. It slips in through the backdoor and pulls chemicals out of subcutaneous fat layers under the skin. It lowers lactic acid, kills bacteria and parasites, penetrates tissues, reduces swelling, improves lymphatic flow, attracts calcium to cell membranes, detoxifies by vibrating ionic bonds and reduces the size of water clusters by creating a resonance dance between water and chemical molecules; it facilitates water in moving stored toxins out of the cell and into the sweat.

In research done at the Mayo clinic it has improved the cardiac status of people who were at the end of their therapeutic ropes. People who have not been able to even tolerate a hot bath were able to slowly detox with this sauna. As you know I am not a doctor but I thought this information is worth to be shared and looked into.

I am on the sauna program for 4 weeks now, since I heard from a friend about the book. I am doing it 3 times a week and my arthritis feels much better. Otherwise I cannot say much beside it really feels good and right to do it. I will give you report later on and would love to hear about your experiences as well.

I just thought how very fitting this is to all the Pisces activities this month.

Mercury Conjunction Neptune in Aquarius on Saturday 27

In Aquarius we have the availability of new technology, with Neptune we have the theme of unresolved drugs, illnesses and toxicity and with Mercury we put our mind in gear and in line with our deepest intuition and inner guidance reflected in the outside world. I think it is a no brainer to see the connection between toxicity and the inability of an overloaded body to function for optimum wellness.  The real question is: what can you do about it?  The answer is: BE SMART!

You cannot leave your health in the hands and responsibility of doctors and the medical system which leans towards putting more drugs into your system, with more overload and many side effects. I don’t even want to get into the financial interest of the pharmaceutical industry, their greed and power plays. But it is obvious that you have to be wise, educate yourself and take action steps accordingly.

Wellness and health is a journey in progress, you have to constantly adjust your thinking, your emotions, learn new ways and fine tune appropriate steps of action for yourself. Meditation, relaxation, wholesome food and the right exercise program for you have to be custom tailored for you and your needs. And you are the only person who can really do that!

Sun Joins Jupiter at 9 degrees Pisces

When we have the Sun Jupiter conjunction on Sunday 28 we will feel the enthusiasm and positive outlook we will need to step up to the plate. Jupiter is well known for his overview and way to put things into a higher perspective. He represents the principle of expansion and growth and you can use this for your health. Get started! Take a first step, read the book, make yourself smart and think about your own personal wellness program you want to implement this month. If you have real health issues you want to talk to a doctor or health practitioner and get additional support from an expert with this.

Make Your Health Your Priority!

The Moon’s positions this week work very well for this. Gemini loves to read and get informed. Cancer likes to eat well and turns more inwards then usual. And Virgos are health oriented and pay close attention to the details of it.

I suggest you take some time for yourself with your journal and do some thinking and decide on some new goals. Ask yourself some questions like:

•    Are you happy with your state of health?
•    Do you feel fresh and energized when you wake up in the morning?
•    Do you have any symptoms of pain?
•    Is your thinking clear and your memory sharp?
•    Do you exercise?
•    How is your digestion?
•    Does your body smell? Do you need to use deodorant?
•    How much processed food is in your diet? Sodas, Cokes…
•    Do you eat fresh unprocessed food like salads and fruits on a regular base?
•    Do you drink 2 quarts of water a day?
•    Do you do a yearly cleanse to pamper your body and help him to recharge?
•    And many more…

Don’t get frustrated! Use the answers to these questions to motivate yourself and decide right now what you want to do. Decide on 3 action steps you will do this week. The state of your health is something you have the power to improve and change in your life. I personally love the sauna detox process because it makes me feel good. I found a spa close by with a Far Infrared Sauna and I spend quality time with my girlfriends hanging out together sweating.

Or as Abraham-Hicks puts it: “There is no state of physical decline or damage that you could not recover from--none--not any, if you knew it... If you wanted it and knew that you could. And that's those miracles that they talk about every day. They're not miracles at all, they are the natural order of things. But because they are rare, people think they are miraculous. They're not. That's the way it is supposed to be. You're supposed to thrive.”
