Well I’m wired… can’t sleep. This happens frequently on a cleanse, due to an increased metabolism from a lot of cleansing going on! So since my body is cleaning house… I should be trying to rest but am really excited to share something with you…
Ponder on this!
I found this March 25, 2009 article by Anna Forkan & Kristen Overlock on the “The Movement to Reverse Diabetes” website. I bolded the words that jumped off the page to me as I read…
While working as a colonic therapist, I had an insight/inspiration I’d like to share. The first half of the colon (ascending + transverse to the navel) is where the body’s water is recycled. Water holds MEMORY. We hide our deepest, darkest, most painful, shameful secrets in our colons. Prior to colonic therapy, all our recirculated water not only brings toxins to the entire body, but the shames and pains we’re hiding where the sun don’t shine. Once the colon is clean, the memories surface, and the recycled water is no longer contaminated. This contamination is not just physical. It’s mental, emotional, and spiritual, too. Cleansing takes place on all levels of our existence, not just the physical (although the physical level is where most of us are most in trouble). I wish everyone who reads this health and peace!
Hiding our pain where the sun don’t shine!
According to this article … “We hide our deepest, darkest, most painful, shameful secrets in our colons”?!!
Pain and poo ….hmmmm … sort of do have a lot in common!
Ok… let’s ponder a bit more…
I checked the Wikipedia dictionary … “the colon is the last part of the digestive system and extracts water and salt from the solid wastes before they are emiminated from the body…The ascending colon lies on the right side of the body and plays an important function in retrieving solutes and water from the material entering from the ileum. The transverse colon lies in the anterior region of the section.”
Sooo…
If “Water holds MEMORY” is a true statement, and that we hide our deepest, darkest, most painful, shameful secrets in our colons…
The first place my mind went … 
Jesus being crucified… (John 19:34) being pierced in the side, perhaps it would have been the colon area (ascending + transverse to the navel)?
People’s NT Commentary said it was the outer sack of the heart.
What do you think?
One thing we know for sure… He took upon himself even our deepest darkest most painful and shameful secrets.
My thoughts…
We no longer have to have dirty water circulating throughout our bodies reminding us of our shame over and over. Jesus stopped the flow of the dirty water from circulating!
I’d like to research more on “water holding memory” and “hiding our pain where the sun don’t shine!”
Send me your thoughts in the comment section below and let’s ponder together!

Kelly: In pondering about where Jesus would have been stabbed. This is just thinking out loud: If the person were lower than Jesus – Jesus being up on the cross. The easiest route to get to the heart from that angle would have been through the soft abdominal tissues, not through the bone and cartilage of the rib cage (which would have required being more perpendicular or on the same ground as Jesus). So while the Commentary is likely correct that the aim was the heart – the easiest way to the heart would have been the gut.
I was watching a little bit of Narnia the other day with my kids. It was the scene where Aslan was being slain for a crime he didn’t commit. As I watched Lucy and her sister’s faces, I thought about what it would have been like for the women who watched the Crucifixion. I couldn’t have done it! I still have not seen that Gibson movie that shows the cricifixion, or Shindler’s list. No compassion! Just can’t handle it!
Trena, ohhh thanks for pondering with me! Good points and great observation!
your childrens faces… what a great insight and how God used their faces to speak to your heart! Love it!
I had to force myself to watch Jesus’ crucifixion… really hits home of why we do what we do and how grateful I am.
Hi Kelly,
This is interesting. There is a Japanese scientist who did experiments speaking to water and then photographing it in crystal form. Positive words brought beautiful formations and negative words brought chaotic responses. I don’t believe this man is a Christian but it is interesting.

Phil.4:8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable–if anything is excellent or praiseworthy–think about such things.
Hmmmm very very interesting… yes not to sure where he is coming from BUT… very interesting. I remember hearing Doug & Sarah and Josh F. all talking all talking about a similar thing they all learned at Bethel. Bottom line.. Jesus took on our pain!
This is so good Kelly. I have been in a class this weekend learning about Theophostics and hiding pain! Miss you!
