My latest experiences with grief

Mourning is never an easy experience, and yet it's a key stage in life, because we all have to go through it at some point in our life experience.

Here are my latest experiences with Grief - and what I've learned from them.

Saline purge protocol to detoxify the body of uric acid and reduce inflammation

A salt flush is a detoxification method that uses magnesium salts to promote the elimination of toxins accumulated in the body, in particular uric acid.

Uric acid

Uric acid is a natural by-product of purine degradationfound mainly in animal proteins (meat, eggs, dairy products...), alkaloids (caffeine, morphine, nicotine...) and refined sugars. This sparingly soluble acid solidifies in the form of acid crystals that tend to lodge in jointsparticularly in the extremities of the body, such as the toes, ankles and knees.

When there is an excessive accumulation in the body, it can cause joint problems such as gout, but also all types of other inflammatory pain as well as wear and tear, agitation, fever, emotional instability, aggressiveness, itching, etc... 

Uric acid can also be deposited in other areas of the body, such as the kidneys, forming kidney stones or from soft tissue depositssuch as ears or tendons.

Salt purging is a natural and effective way to reduce excessive uric acid accumulation in the body and restore our vitality and joie de vivre.

Benefits of salt purging

The Irène Grosjean who taught me the practice of purging (saline and oily) during a course I took with her in the summer of 2020. Since then, I've used it on numerous occasions and I'm now convinced of the benefits of purging. 

Here are just a few examples:

  1. Detox: One of the functions of our natural emunctories (liver, kidneys, intestines, lungs, skin) is to eliminate the toxins we accumulate. When these systems become too clogged, a saline cleanse helps them eliminate excess toxins. By eliminating these toxins, our body can regain its natural balance and function optimally.
  2. Pain relief: The magnesium salts used in salt purging help neutralize uric acid and reduce inflammatory-type conditions.
  3. Improved vitality: By eliminating toxins, salt flushing enables our bodies to better absorb essential nutrients, promoting better digestion, energy and vitality.
  4. Symptom reduction: Saline purging can help reduce symptoms such as anxiety, sleep disorders, muscle pain and skin problems.

The different options for salt purging

Irène Grosjean recommends several options for salt purging. I've ranked them from the most effective (radical) to the most "pleasant". Note that when urine burns, it's because it contains acid, which is being eliminated.

  1. Chlorumagen: Extremely effective option for neutralizing and eliminating pain.
    • Chlorumagen is a Magnesium hydroxide (Mg(OH)2) at 100%. Not to be confused with Magnesium Chloride.
    • We call this molecule ChloruMaGMagnesium hydroxide is generated when it comes into contact with the hydrochloric acid present in gastric juices.
    • Much of the acid to be eliminated will pass through the urine when Chlorumagen is chosen.
  2. Magnesia San Pellegrino: Deacidifying properties.
    • Magnesia San Pellegrino is a Magnesium hydroxide at 90%.
    • Although it's not generally available in pharmacies, you can order it from them (ask for the 90% version, not the 44% which is usually the default).
    • Make sure you also choose the simple, non-effervescent version.
    • Helps eliminate toxins with less passage through the stool.
  3. Magnesium sulfate (Epsom salt): less powerful than magnesium hydroxide, but still effective in eliminating toxins.
    • Magnesium sulfate, also known as Epsom salt, is a heptahydrate sulfate.
    • It can be purchased in 500g packs on specialist websites or in small 30g sachets from chemists.
    • A greater quantity of toxins is generally evacuated through stools rather than urine.
  4. Purgative lime: less potent than magnesium sulfate, but has the advantage of a pleasant taste.
    • Must be able to find a drugstore but I've never used one so I wouldn't know.

Seawater

Another way to purge saline is to ingest sea water to a certain extent. There's a certain protocol to follow. Irène Grosjean didn't teach me this technique, but I've practiced it successfully, so I can recommend it to anyone who feels the appeal. I'll be writing a detailed article on the subject soon. 

Nigari salt

The Nigari salt (Magnesium chloride) is not to be considered a salt purge in the strict sense of the term. Rather, it will cause lymphatic drainageThis is different from a purge, whose aim is to eliminate toxins and waste accumulated in the body. Both can, of course, be complementary. because (1) emptying detoxifies and (2) purging eliminates the toxins that have been detoxified.

For lymphatic drainage, make a preparation of 20g of Nigari salt to 1L of water and take a glass or ½ glass a day. 

Recommended protocol for salt purging

All salt purges require drink well to dilute acid crystals. Based on Irène Grosjean's teachings and my own experience, here's the basic protocol for salt purging:

  1. Food descent: I ideally recommend that you make a food downhill for at least 1 day without animal products or cereals (including bread and rice), and to eat at least 70% of raw fruit and vegetables that day, with no added salt (and ideally no fat either). If you eat a little cooked food, that's okay, but go for raw, as this will greatly enhance your body's ability to eliminate toxins the next day.
  2. Fasting: It is recommended to fast for 6 to 8 hours before taking the saline purge. This prepares the body to receive the saline solution. Choose to take the saline solution in the morning on an empty stomach, or at the end of the day, taking care to leave at least 6 to 8 hours after your midday meal.
  3. Choice of magnesium salts: Ideally, I recommend consult with a qualified naturopath or coach to identify the best option for you at this stage. When in doubt, or if you don't have the opportunity to consult, I generally recommend opting for Epsom Salt, as it has an effect without being too violent - especially if it's your first purge.
  4. Solution preparation: Follow the specific instructions for each magnesium salt to prepare the appropriate saline solution. In general, it is recommended to take 2 tablespoons salt (30g) in a large glass of preferably lukewarm water because the salts dilute more quickly and the intestine absorbs the solution more quickly.
  5. Hydration: After taking the saline purge, it is crucial to drain properly by drinking 1L to 1.5L of liquid over the next 2 to 3 hours such as herbal teas, vegetable broth or hydrosols. Vegetable broth is particularly beneficial, as each vegetable has medicinal properties that will help the body cleanse itself.
  6. Observing body signs: During the salt purging process, it is important to connect with your body and toobserve signs and sensations. Until you feel better or are really hungry (different fromdesire to eat, which is more of a psycho-emotional need than a physical one), we recommend not eating and continuing to let the body eliminate toxins. As long as you continue to evacuate, stay on a diet.
  7. Eating again: It's important not to swallow anything that needs to be digested before you've had several bowel movements. When you resume eating, take it slowly and gradually. It is essential to start with rehydration by drinking pure water, which will help eliminate remaining toxins and restore your body's water balance. You can also opt for a clear vegetable broth or a mild herbal tea. Next, gradually add fresh fruit and vegetablesand light, easy-to-digest foods such as soups, light salads and steamed vegetables. Opt for foods that provide essential nutrients while being gentle on the digestive system. In all cases, listen to your body's signals, adjust your diet if necessary and gradually increase the quantity and variety of foods you eat.

Precautions

A purge is not a trivial operation. This requires a certain level of vitality in the body to allow the various systems to rebalance following the operation. Before performing a purge, you need to a diet rich in plant-based productsa adequate hydration thanks to a living (non-dehydrated) diet, as well as a appropriate physical activity to allow energies to circulate in the body.

Some saline purges may be contraindicated. such as kidney failure, high blood pressure, cardiac arrhythmia or pregnancy.

In all cases, it is always advisable to consult a health professional before starting any detoxification program, so that we can tailor the method to your individual needs.

Happy purging and regeneration! 

Cubic salt manufacturing protocol

Preamble

Salt is used in many traditions to cleanse negative energies, prepare spaces and balance the body's energies. Cubic Salt is even more powerful than simple salt for these tasks...

For my part, I learned how to make Cubic salt a few years ago to clean up the energy in my apartment in Boulogne-Billancourt. I can hardly be objective about the effectiveness of this energy cleansing because, in alchemy, the experimenter plays a major role in experimentation.

In other words, the effectiveness of the cleaning depends on the cleaner, who is himself cleaned at the same time as the place he seeks to clean. ????

Have I made myself clear? ????

What you really need to understand is that this is a alchemical protocol - and not chemical: the result will systematically differ depending on the experimenter.

So expect to be potentially surprised by the different results you'll get from experiment to experiment...

A protocol drawn from the alchemical teachings of Patrick Burensteinas

Patrick Burensteinas explains Alchemy and the principle of the Philosopher's Stone.

Patrick Burensteinas is a modern-day alchemist. He is one of the few initiates to have achieved the Philosopher's Stone; but what makes him special is that, unlike most other initiates, he came out of anonymity in order to pass on his teachings to as many people as possible.

The teachings that I am relaying below were initially transmitted to me by Patrick Burensteinas in writing via his book From Matter to Lightand then again a few years later in person at his seminar on the Alchemical Oratory in which I had the great privilege of participating.

The Essence of Heaven

In alchemy, we speak of 3 main principles that are present in everything:

  1. The Salt principle, which corresponds to what is most fixed in a body
  2. The Sulfur principle, which corresponds to what moves/animates a body (the soul)
  3. The Mercury principle: the spirit

Cubic Salt is the salt of salt, in other words the most "fixing" of all.

Why make Cubic Salt?

Both the Cubic Salt manufacturing process and its installation in the four corners of a home are beneficial.

The manufacturing process itself Cubic salt can be considered a purification practice in its own right, as it requires special attention and intention throughout the process.

Next, the Cubic salt is a pure, powerful salt used in alchemical practices to purify and protect against negative energies.

It is also used in certain spiritual practices

Make your own Cubic salt also ensures quality and provenance.

Ingredients

Hardware

Instructions

  1. In the non-metallic container, dissolve the raw salt in boiling water until saturated:
    add handfuls of salt one after the other until the salt no longer melts.
  2. Once the solution is saturated, allow the mixture to cool.
  3. Use a coffee filter to strain the saltwater mixture into a glass dish, covering to the height of about 2 cm of saltwater filtrate.
  4. Place the dish and the salt water it contains in a basin.
  5. Place the wire on the surface of the water so that the ends of the wire rest on either side of the wall of the dish.
  6. Place the bowl+platter+water+wire assembly in a dark place where it cannot be moved or come into contact with direct sunlight or moonlight. E.g. under the sink or at the back of a cupboard.
  7. Over time, the salt will separate into three principles: fleur de sel (spirit), cauliflower salt (core) and cubic salt (body).
  8. Recover the fleur de sel (tips) on the wire above the water. You can collect it almost daily and use it to salt your food, for example. This is real fleur de sel.
  9. Recover the cauliflower salt (powder) as it moves up the sides of the dish and crawls into the bowl. You'll certainly be impressed the first time you see this phenomenon. But make sure you pick up this strolling salt regularly, otherwise it'll take over your whole house - and I'm not exaggerating. ???? You can then store it in a closed glass jar with a non-metallic lid and/or release it by burying it in the ground. This salt represents your restlessness.
  10. Recover the cubic salt and put it in another container.

Final notes

The process can take around 2-3 weeks and varies according to the location and the person who made the Salt. A lot of cauliflower salt means a lot of unrest in the place or at the operator's.

Cubic salt can purify energy and must be -in theory- used within 3 months, since beyond that it will have absorbed the surrounding energies anyway.

Cauliflower salt can be used as an energy barrier and to preserve cubic salt indefinitely. To do this, place the cubic salt in a container, which in turn is placed in another container containing cauliflower salt, which will act as a barrier and protect the cubic salt so that it can be preserved indefinitely.

Use cubic salt by placing it in the 4 corners of the area to be cleaned. If it's a large house, you'll need large quantities and at least one dish in each room. 

Once your cubic salt has served its purpose, it's time to return it to the earth - or the sea.
