Organic Sesame oil pulling- Are you open to this Ayurvedic magic tool for healing?

Organic Sesame oil
What is Oil Pulling and How is it such a Powerful tool for Detoxing

Oils are known as Lipophilic which means they attract other oils.The fatty layers of ones skin are dumping grounds for toxins.

These can be anything from pesticides from foods, parasites, heavy metals and many other toxic materials stored in the layers of fat.



Fat holds toxic material, that is why when one uses this remedy the fat from the sesame oil draws out and literally 'pulls' out the stuff you don't need from deep within your body, the more you do it the better and the results are immediate.

Obviously you really need to be using high quality Organic Sesame oil because if not the pesticides and other poison present in non organic oil will be reintroduced into your body with the pulling technique.

Sesame oil is high in antioxidant sesamol, sesamin and sesamolin. It also holds a high concentration of Vit E and Polyunsaturated fatty acids.It also stops the absorption of negative forms of cholesterol in the liver and is anti bacterial.

                                                 
       

What are the benefits?

It has been recognised that many diseases and imbalances have been healed with this technique. Oral health such as bleeding gums and loose teeth can be helped. Diseases such as hormonal imbalance, eczema, heart and kidney disease, arthritis, migraine, stomach ailments, bronchitis to name but a few of the health issues that have been eased and removed with this Ayurvedic tool for well being.


Traditionally Sesame has been used for oil pulling and now people are also trying coconut oil and even sunflower.It used to be done at sunrise first thing in the morning and before Yoga. However if you want to try this at home please follow these instructions and watch your health improve.

Lets get started??

When you wake up first thing with an empty stomach doing it before eating  any food will enhance  and accelerate the healing aspect of this practise. Take one tablespoon of Organic Sesame Oil in your mouth do not swallow. Allow the oil to move around the mouth suck through the teeth , let it swish around vigorously this mixes the oil with the saliva and activates the enzymes drawing toxins out of the blood... the oil will get thinner and whiter as the process continues. It is then spit from the mouth throw it out side some where you can cover it with soil for example as, at this point it will be full of toxins.Rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.


Nurture your lovely being.
I do this 3 times a day as i love the feeling and feel the benefits profoundly.To begin with try it first thing in the morning and keep going with it, notice as you do it what your body is doing in response to the process?, what sensations do you feel? is there pain ad release? can you maintain a positive state of mind as you remove what you don't need from your being?.. 

I notice many sensations and aches within and blockages shifting , it sometimes helps to circle the shoulders to keep things 'in motion' , have a go....see what happens for you this ancient technique is good medicine for the whole being!

Rawsome

A garden salad
Raw food and living in India will always be closely linked for me. The year 2003 on a sunny Yorkshire July day in the town of Leeds, UK, my existing diet for the previous decade had already consisted of steamed veg, fruits nuts seeds seaweeds, I had not had eggs cheese or other animal products since being a teenager and I did not feel good with bread products they made me groggy, lethargic and numb emotionally.

 So that sunny day in July walking back from a local festival called Unity Day on Hyde Park Leeds I saw the person id seen before at a Tai chi class id been attending for the past 3 years. Steve Wilkinson , the Raw Clown juggler and performing artiste was stood with his juggling equipment at a bus stop looking so animated something inside me urged me to go and say a Namaste!.. I asked if he still did Tai Chi and he had got into Yoga now, and then he started to tell me all about Raw. I became totally raw that day as the intuition was so strong to follow this path.


Synthesis
 I began to look deeply into this system and natural law, I came across a so called raw guru from America named David Wolfe and sent off for his brochure on info and products for the raw food lifestyle. A rather glossy brochure arrived with a hand written note…. I felt excited and I hadn’t even read it yet!. It was from a Tony Thorpe , living and working alongside Mr.Wolfe he told me he was also from Leeds and was coming with David who would talk with a UK raw food expert Shazzie . He was coming to a part of Leeds close to me so I was very intrigued and on attending the gathering realised it was a truly transformatitive life style choice with untold benefits and spiritual depths I knew were on the way! In that same month I had booked to learn Mhendi with a man named Ash Kumar in London it fell on the very same day Dr Gabriel Cousens was also doing a talk in the city .


Gabriel Cousens
I had heard about this raw foodist and his amazing retreat centre. The Tree of Life and how he had lived in India and his approach to Meditation, Ayurveda with raw He is also Jewish like David Wolfe and my mum. The talk was inspiring and Gabriel humble. Where David Wolfe was a light bulb of energy or a Sun Gabriel was a steady stream of deep water.

 Next 6 months after the decision to go completely raw came the 1st trip to Goa India. My dad treated me my sister and his partner to a 2 week stay Jan 2004, id never been to India and yet had always followed the meditations, Vedas and Yogic teachings so readily available now in the West. I did not know how I would handle the raw food part on this trip. I water Fasted on the 9 hour flight keeping hydrated as possible; the cabin air really sucks the water out! I did not suffer jet lag and took some vitamin C in pure organic powder form.

Returning
When the plane landed on the Goan runway my heart opened, I felt a sense of being ‘home’, and tears began to flow spontaneously. The one and a half hour taxi ride to the hotel I had tears streaming. The pure beauty of Goa was reaching into my being. No one in the taxi noticed the profuse waterfall but I had gotten used to the English way of denial of feelings being expressed or shown and I managed to push through the fear revelling in and surrendering to this flow of my whole experience. I was not going to stop my Raw emotional experience for any societal comfortableness show, and as it usually happens the tears soon turned into those waves of orgasmic heart bliss I started to feel more and more as I detoxed my emotional armour. My heart opened I was ‘coming’ home.


Goa is heaven on Earth
No surprise either that my stay in Goa was so easy to be Raw Fruits id never tasted that gave me a new sense of clarity and alertness, like Papaya and juicy Jack fruit were available in abundance for a low cost and many locally grown.Not to leave out baby coconut the miracle food at 20-30 rupees each , heaven on earth for detoxing cleansing and enjoying.As I sat by the ocean such a strong feeling engulfed me . I knew I wanted to live there and I felt the possibility. To cut a long story short I manifested living in Goa 7 years later. I am currently in North India, but have a strong desire to return south again this time more permanently.It has been a decade now for me living raw and the benefits I feel and have felt from the very start are immense.

Clean n Cosmic Seaweed Salad.
The usual loose weight get a flat stomach look younger concern so typical of current societal trends fashion and focus are for me empty and rather vacuous. The profound effects are of real value such as clarity of mind and body .An intimate commune with nature and her bounty. A healing process that constantly surprises and astounds me. Sensitivity that enables me to know and experience how thin the veils of spirit and matter really are… however the most interesting aspect of living on clean food for me is, all social conditioning and its many layered illusions slowly slowly begin to fall away.



Raw living in Mother
India 


 This for me has been the most creative part of my journey Realizing most of what we are taught and fed actually distracts and even turns us against our true real ‘raw’ nature. Feeling this reality for me has had to be unpacked slowly, like the natural ebbs, tides and flow of the cycles connected to the unveiling of Mother Nature and her true power. I have slowly come to notice that when I connect to the Earth I can heal any imbalance release stress and realign to center.So many secrets she has to share once we plug in and become earthed, she showers us with her deeply loving nurturing love. The Raw food vegan way of living is really growing now in India as many people are trying and experiencing this beneficial lifestyle that heals oneself and has no burden on the planet either. It is for me a truly magical tool to heal and to re connect with one’s deepest and highest existence. May the force be with you.
