Emotions have a voice – am I listening?
I’m going into the second week of this “Body & Soul Cleanse” and noticing my body responding at a deeper level of healing.
Physically – slight headaches, muscle aches, dimming of vision, urine discolored w/slight odor, trouble sleeping but at the same time intense dreams - all the typical responses to a cleanse!
I can remember back to some of my very first cleansings… vomiting, massive headaches, shakes, fevers and so on. Keep in mind that each cleansing builds upon the last- it does get a bit easier!
Mentally- my mind STILL goes a hundred miles an hour. As thoughts come I just jot it down so my mind can be at rest and maintain a focus on what God is saying to me this hour!
Emotionally – Hmm…my emotions are shoutin for my attention! The question of the day; will I listen?
Normally I just shut off my emotions and stay busy with life – consequently God says “Kelly you are cutting off a very part of yourself that I created! Just as my body experiences a physical healing during a cleanse so do my emotions!
Will I heed to the healing?
Physical cleansing will set the stage for emotional healing to act out!
…. and oh boy have my emotions been center front stage!
Feelings of overwhelming sadness, rejection, anger, irritability are triggered at the drop of a hat and just the whiff of fried chicken or coming across an old family photo has stirred long forgotten memories that I had buried in the past.
I have two choices
1. Keep them buried .
2. Give my emotions permission to speak, take the time to listen, embrace who I was created to be and allow the Holy Spirit to come and cleanse; bringing a healing that gives life spirit, soul & body.

This is SO good Kelly! My “cleanses” and fastings in the past have usually focused on some breakthrough or for someone else’s deliverance. I sense now after 2 of the most agonizing and painful years I’ve ever known that God may be calling me to focus on an emotional cleanse myself. I love the way you are wording your cleanse with the “emotional detox”. I can’t believe my field of expertise is emotional eating but I’ve never even THOUGHT about coaching around doing cleanses for emotional detox! I have encouraged clients to fast for breakthrough in food addictions, but never for emotional detox. God brought you into my life for sure! And I can’t wait for our next project together…it’s going to be awesome!
God bless,
Ginny
