How to Cleanse Your Liver Without Using a Liver Cleanse – Liver Affirmations
Liver cleanses are the big rage in alternative health circles, but do they work and are they necessary? Certainly liver health is essential; but will a liver cleanse do the trick, or do you need to do something more? Even if you use a liver cleanse, there’s always the likelihood that whatever you cleanse will return until you learn how to keep your liver clean and healthy without using a liver cleanse. Here’s the easiest way to clean your liver and restore liver health; and it doesn’t cost a dime.
The liver is the seat of anger and primitive emotions, according to ancient wisdom, Chinese medicine, and even cutting-edge medical systems. Authors like Louise Hay (Heal Your Body), Candace Pert (Molecules of Emotion), and Bruce Lipton (Biology of Belief), point to our ability to produce healing chemistry in our bodies, or not-so-beneficial chemistry – which breaks us down and leaves us vulnerable to illness, parasites, etc. The amazing thing is that we create these various biochemical states not with chemicals and foreign substances – but with our thoughts.
Indeed, we create our problems and our cures within our own minds; we simply need to understand which thoughts lead to illness and which thoughts lead to wellness – and pay attention to where we put our attention. Keeping your focus on positive thoughts will help you stay stress-free and healthy; and changing a thought, that caused a stress-related problem, can reverse the condition it caused almost immediately. Thanks to modern science, and researchers like Candace Pert, Louise Hay, and Bruce Lipton, and others, we actually know exactly what kinds of thoughts cause what kinds of problems; so we can easily create thought-patterns that address and correct the effects of our harmful or problematic thoughts.
Anger is a natural emotion; but our thoughts about anger, our thoughts that cause anger, and our beliefs and attitudes about anger, are often anything but normal and natural. When we get stuck thinking certain “anger-thoughts” – even at an unconscious level – we get stuck in the physical effects of that specific kind of thinking. Reprogramming, or re-patterning, our thoughts will change the way our health expresses itself in that particular area of our life. When we’re talking about the liver and liver problems, then we’re talking about anger and anger-thoughts.
Anger thoughts trigger the stress response, the release of specific hormones, and the generation of energy and activity in the liver – all of which has a weakening effect on the liver and immune system. If you have any problems at all with your liver, you may be able to restore health by simply running new programs, or thoughts, that turn-off the stress response, release more beneficial chemistry, and calm and soothe the liver – as well as making it too healthy a place to sustain parasites and other liver problem. Fearful thoughts, thoughts of rage or anger, hateful or prejudiced thinking, and constant complaining or fault-finding are operating behind most liver-problems – even if the person with the problem is not aware, or conscious, of their thoughts and behaviors.
According to many alternative health practitioners and researchers, the fix for liver problems could be as simple as repeating certain affirmations, or “corrective thought-patterns,” to overwrite the problematic angry thoughts – essentially canceling them out and replacing the harmful effects of the angry thinking with the more healing and beneficial chemistry and effects of healthier thinking and thought-patterns. Louise Hay, in her book, “Heal Your Body,” recommends several affirmations for liver health, including.
- “Love, Peace, and Joy are what I know.”
- “I choose to live through the open space in my heart. I look for love and find it everywhere.”
- “My mind is cleansed and free. I leave the past and move into the new. All is well.”
- “I feel tolerance, compassion, and love for all people – myself included.”
- “There is joyous release of the past. Life is sweet and so am I.”
To make the most out of this “mental liver cleanse,” get yourself into a relaxed state before saying them – right before bed, and just after waking-up are naturally ideal times of the day for saying affirmations. Write these affirmations on a card; and keep them handy so you can say them and reflect on them as often as possible throughout the day. Repeat each affirmation three-times; and then go to sleep – or go on with the rest of your day, paying attention to anger, judgment, fault-finding, complaining, and all of the other thoughts and behaviors that have been shown to stress and weaken the liver. Drink plenty of water while you are doing any kind of cleanse – even a mental cleanse. And be patient with yourself as you go through this process. It could take days, or even two or three-weeks before you see definitive changes; but you will see changes as soon as you’ve replaced the anger with less-toxic thoughts.
