This web sit has found me at the right time. I have been suffering from bulimia, and have both my off… and on… days :S I had actually been reading up on the digestive system,… seeing if perhaps there was somehting i was misssing that could make this battle easier. So i think i will try to treat myself to it. Gosh it’s nice to hear so many positive people who seem to be looking at this from a perspective so close to mine, inspiering

Hi Turtle, Congratulations for having this realization -- wow, you really hit home for me as you described your reaction. Yes, what we have done to our cores has taken away our center, our power. There are so many ways to get it back!

Emily recommends Qi Gong abdominal massage.
I've always wanted to try Maya abdominal massage, which you can have done by a practitioner or learn to do yourself. It's been done for ages by Mayan women to correct all kinds of abdominal issues.
Sheila likes yoga and Chi Nei Tsang (CNT), which I think sounds really interesting as well -- I plan to look into it.
Yoga and pilates are wonderful ways to strengthen and start feeling your core.
Meditation and yogic breathing are also very helpful -- I especially like Kapalabhati, which you can read about in this post.

Turtle, the fact that you are aware of this means whatever solutions you start to look at will do wonders. Awareness is always the first step to solutions! With love, Heather

It’s interesting that this core, this abdomen area, is the center of our energy – and is required for balance.
Wow, this one comment really hit me in my center!
Thank you so very much for this share about Sheila…it really touched me is so many ways and spoke to that heart and center place rather than my mind. I had not really thought of that abdomenal area as my center, but, of course, it is. I feel tears as I recall how much I have hurt my center and how much I have abused my center…one form of the abuse is hating that core and center. My core and center is swollen, hard, bloated, in pain…I can not remember the last time it was flat. I hold a lot of fear there. As having chronic constipation,
I know I am not only holding on to teces, but, other old pain, ideas, fears, beliefs….etc.

After having a chiropracator touch me at my core at least ten years ago and having such a
reaction, I knew there was something there, I have wanted to find a kind of body work that would help me to release in that area, but, never found a practioner. Is there some kind of work that does do relase work on that area. The reaction I had with the chiropractor was internal because I held myself back from opening my mouth. I know that if I had let myself go..
I would probably have sounded more like a wounded animal than a human beinig. I would like to know how I can work on that area of my body. Reading this article has touched me so deeply, I can not say I am in touch with it all.
Thank you once again Heather, this is all such a gift!!!!

Hi Sheila Shea,
My name is Yolande Jackson, I have been interested in colon therapy for some time now and I would like to know how I can take advantage of this wonderful cleasning process.
I’m a 27 year old black female, and was a vegetarian for five years from the age I was 19-about 25. I went so far as to become a vegan, and due to the cost I was not able to keep up the diet; and maintain a BMI that was not considered anorexic. I think you are beautiful and want you to know that you are a role model for me. I have done some searches but can not find a clinic in Tallahassee; travel to Arizona is not likely, because of the distance. I believe I read there was a clinic in Miami can you send me info. on this place.

Hi Maya,

If, at some point, you have easier access to the Internet and decide to start your own blog, I can assure you that I will be a great fan and avid reader! I very much enjoy reading all your comments on Heather’s blog.

Just wanted to say that I feel exactly the way Emily does about checking in with various uplifting blogs every day, and want to thank all of you who are sharing so openly and reaching out to each other through your blogs. Unfortunately I only have internet access at work and not at home, and don’t think it’s appropriate to be using my work computer or time to maintain a personal blog; otherwise I’d be joining the rest of you in posting about my own journey and sharing what nourishes me on my own blog. I look forward to continuing reading your inspiring stories!

With love,

Maya
