The Tao Of Detox

A practical guide to preventing and treating the toxic assault on our bodies • Shows how the practices of periodic detox and “rational retox” can counteract the toxic nature of our modern lifestyles, diets, and environment • Provides ancient Chinese methods and remedies that help the body repair itself • Includes detoxification techniques, formulas, and exercises that work within 10 days Despite the wonders of modern medicine, the state of human health throughout the world is eroding at an alarming rate. The long-term accumulation of toxins and acid waste in our bodies--both from the chemically contaminated air we breathe and water we drink as well as the toxins we ingest in the form of low quality food, preservatives, and additives--damages our organs, corrodes our joints and arteries, enervates our nervous system, and inhibits our immune system. Chronic pain and fatigue, hypertension and heart failure, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, indigestion, insomnia, and even acne, are all caused by the long-term accumulation of toxins in our bodies. In The Tao of Detox Daniel Reid combines traditional Eastern practices and the latest of modern Western thinking to offer detoxification methods that can repair in as little as seven to ten days much of the long-term damage done. He provides breathing exercises, massage techniques, and soft exercises such as yoga and tai chi that help the body to heal itself. He also explains the importance of “rational retoxification,” which allows the careful reintroduction of less healthy substances, and offers ways to counteract those toxins we can’t--or don’t want to--avoid, including alcohol and tobacco. Reid explains that, just as we care for our cars with regular tune-ups, by practicing periodic detox as well as “rational retox,” we can enjoy long and healthy lives and still be able to “eat, drink, and be merry.”

It is time we recognised the direct correlation between the external pollution of the environment and the internal pollution of the body. The toxins in the air, in the water and in our food inevitably make their way into the human body, but until we take drastic measures to clean up our planet, we have to detoxify the human system from the inside. Combining the best of ancient eastern and the latest of modern western thinking, THE TAO OF DETOX offers a solution to restoring and preserving your good health through detox. If you want to fight chronic disease, live longer, lose weight or just feel the benefits of good health with glowing skin and masses of energy, Daniel Reid's rational and scientific advice will tell you how. Highly practical, THE TAO OF DETOX shows the way to enjoy immediate wellbeing and the promise of a longer, ailment-free life - and all without sacrificing the enjoyment of life's pleasures.

How to cleanse the nine openings of the body for detoxification and self-healing • Explains how to purify the body’s internal environment through mono diets, fasts, and colonic cleanses to prevent degenerative disease and premature aging • Presents a 14-day total-body cleansing guide • Includes chi self-massage and healing sound practices as well as natural recipes for herbal tonics and cleansing flushes Long known by Taoist masters, the body has an innate ability to heal itself, an ability that is hampered by toxins in the food we ingest and energy blockages that arise from illnesses and obstacles in our lives. These blockages transform the body’s energy rivers into a polluted and stagnant swamp--the root of degenerative disease as well as premature aging. Revealing the detoxification and rejuvenation practices of the Taoist sages, Master Mantak Chia and William U. Wei show how to reactivate your body’s self-healing abilities by gradually and safely expelling accumulated toxins through fasting, mono diets, and cleansing the nine openings of the body. Using the practices of chi self-massage and healing sounds along with natural recipes for herbal tonics and cleansing flushes for each of the openings and their related organs, the authors explain how to balance and purify the body’s internal environment through acid and alkaline foods, urine therapy, colonic cleanses, dry skin brushing, ear candling, and energized water. Concluding with a 14-day total-body cleansing program, Cosmic Detox offers tools to keep the energy rivers clean and flowing, preparing the body for higher level Taoist practices as well as enabling healing of our emotional and spiritual bodies.

Vivimos en una sociedad que no sabe traducir en bienestar f&ísico y psicol&ógico su riqueza material. El progreso tecnol&ógico de Occidente no ha sido acompa&ñado por un paralelo inter&és en la protecci&ón de nuestro cuerpo y la prevenci&ón de las enfermedades. A lo largo de los 5.000 a&ños de la historia de China, la prevenci&ón ha sido la clave para la salud humana, considerada responsabilidad principal de la persona. La gran aportaci&ón de la medicina china ha sido descubrir el papel que tienen para el bienestar factores como una incorrecta alimentaci&ón, los pensamientos negativos y la contaminaci&ón medioambiental. Las sustancias t&óxicas presentes en el agua, los aditivos qu&ímicos de los alimentos, el humo de los cigarrillos y las emanaciones de los veh&ículos son algunas de las numerosas amenazas diarias a nuestro bienestar. &¿Qu&é podemos hacer para defendernos de estos ataques? En El Tao de la depuraci&ón encontrar&ás la respuesta: una propuesta eficaz y natural para combatir la agresi&ón de las toxinas, purificar el organismo, fortalecer los mecanismos de defensa natural de nuestro cuerpo y gozar de buena salud. Existe una alarmante correlaci&ón entre la contaminaci&ón atmosf&érica, la mala alimentaci&ón y nuestro bienestar. Las toxinas presentes en el aire, en el agua potable y en los alimentos ponen a prueba d&ía tras d&ía la salud de nuestro organismo. En tanto que no se apliquen medidas eficaces para limpiar el planeta, tenemos que empezar por purificarnos nosotros mismos. Combinando la antigua sabidur&ía oriental y los &últimos avances m&édicos occidentales, El Tao de la depuraci&ón te ofrece la soluci&ón definitiva para gozar de buena salud y preservarla durante muchos a&ños.

“Gabrielle is the real thing. I respect her work immensely.” —Dr. Wayne Dyer “A new role model.” —The New York Times “I came to one of Bernstein’s monthly lectures and got my first look at the woman I’d one day unabashedly refer to as ‘my guru.’” —Elle From #1 New York Times bestselling author Gabrielle Bernstein comes a clear, proactive, step-by-step process to release the beliefs that hold you back from living a better life.

I can testify to these results because I’ve lived them. I’ve never felt more freedom and joy than I have when writing and practicing these steps. My commitment to healing my own relationship to judgment has changed my life in profound ways. My awareness of my judgment has helped me become a more mindful and conscious person. My willingness to heal these perceptions has set me free. I have been able to let go of resentments and jealousies, I can face pain with curiosity and love, and I forgive others and myself much more easily. Best of all, I have a healthy relationship to judgment so that I can witness when it shows up and I can use these steps to quickly return to love. The Judgment Detox is an interactive six-step process that calls on spiritual principles from the text A Course in Miracles, Kundalini yoga, the Emotional Freedom Technique (aka Tapping), meditation, prayer and metaphysical teachings. I’ve demystified these principles to make them easy to commit to and apply in your daily life. Each lesson builds upon the next to support true healing. When you commit to following the process and become willing to let go, judgment, pain and suffering will begin to dissolve. And the miracles will keep coming. Once you begin to feel better you start to release your resistance to love. The more you practice these steps, the more love enters into your consciousness and into your energetic vibration. When you’re in harmony with love, you receive more of what you want. Your energy attracts its likeness. So when you shift your energy from defensive judgment to free-flowing love your life gets awesome. You’ll attract exactly what you need, your relationships will heal, your health will improve and you’ll feel safer and more secure. One loving thought at a time creates a miracle. Follow these steps to clear all blocks, spread more love and live a miraculous life.
