A Reiki Masters Guide to a "Spiritual Detox"

Detox is different for everyone. For some, the detox is rapid and comes with ease. For many, things may get worse before they get better. The detox may take you through multiple stages of physical, emotional and financial cleansings, in which you may experience times of confusion, loss, sickness, despair, etc., as that which does not serve you falls away.

If you are experiencing a "Spiritual Detox" please know that this detoxification of your existing life is precisely how you will arrive at a new life that is clear and awakened, poised for significant success and comprehensive abundance.

What is detox?

As you connect even stronger with your higher-self, sometimes your life can shift in amazing or challenging ways that you did not anticipate. Detox is essentially the sloughing off of old programs, old paradigms, old family structures, old beliefs, relationships that are not healthy for you, etc. that are not aligned with your higher-self. It is the purification of your being.

Debunking Detox Myths

Detox is a marker that you are on your path to a stronger connection with your higher-self and your awakening spirit. Detox is not something to fear, but rather something to embrace. What you are releasing are distortions, frequencies and family patterns that no longer serve you and you may be experiencing a paradigm shift. Detox may show up in your outer world as releasing people, places, things and beliefs that no longer serve you and your stronger connection with your higher-self.

Detox is the process of releasing the distortions that have kept you oppressed. Detox is to be celebrated as a marker on your path to living a life more aligned with Truth.

Detox is a natural process and is not necessarily associated with working with Akasha Healing.

It is associated with your spirit awakening and ascending to higher and higher levels. It is getting you ready for this by removing all of the garbage that you have accumulated through your lifetime, past lifetimes and from family lineage. The removal of lower-level frequencies are required as you ascend into higher frequencies. Like the resonance of a tuning fork, being in the higher-frequencies that Kathryn generates merely raises the bar and makes your ascension journey quicker and more efficient. Purification and having a more pure spirit, body and mind is the end result of Detox. The more pure you are, the longer and stronger you can connect with your higher-self.

What are some symptoms of detox?

These symptoms could be emotional, e.g. revisiting past patterns that are coming up now for healing; perhaps feeling grief if relationships start to change or fall away; or physical, e.g. a bout of ‘flu', a bad cold etc. Some people may experience financial detox in the form of loss of money or investments.

It is important to remember that these symptoms are temporary and that clarity and purification is on the other side of detox. The level of intensity you experience may vary from very mild and hardly noticeable to intense. It is dependent on the level of distortions that have accumulated over time and from your family as well as how much you hold onto old patterns. Akasha Healing Healers' are not Doctors and so any physical issues that you consider troublesome do need to be taken up with your doctor, if you consider it appropriate.

What percentage of people experience some form of detox?

At the start, approximately 50% of people experience detox symptoms - many move forward with no symptoms at all. Trust that whatever you are experiencing is correct for you.

At some point in the awakening and ascension process, we believe that eventually everyone experiences some form of detox once they hit a new level of awareness and awakening. Though, for some, this may not take place for years.

What can I do to ease the process if I am experiencing detox?

Give yourself some extra space for alone time. Enjoy extra time to rest, relax, play and nurture your body, mind and spirit. Eat nutritious foods and hydrate well with pure water. Avoid unhealthy or stressful situations and people. Spend more time in nature. Be acutely aware of your body, your spine, and bring your attention to the details of your physical form. Observe any patterns that may be leaving you from an objective standpoint without identifying with them.

Also, spend more time communicating with your spirit in awareness and allow whatever is leaving you to do so freely. Let go of trying to control things and allow your awakening spirit to handle all the details. Your spirit always chooses the most efficient and quickest way to get you from where you are to your goal of connecting even stronger with your higher-self.

Perception: how you perceive yourself and your experience will determine how easy or painful it is.

See and embrace detox as a natural part of the purification process and connecting even stronger and higher with your higher-self. This doesn’t mean that what you experience through your detox is not uncomfortable, challenging or even painful. But notice the details of how you experience and understand the process from a higher level. Everyone who has gone through some level of detox has told us they would do it all over again to get the level of clarity and purity they reached after going through it.
