So many believe emotions live in the heart. But the truth is—our feelings, especially the deepest ones—begin in the gut.

When our intestines are burdened or imbalanced, it doesn’t just weaken our immune system—it numbs our empathy. It clouds our ability to feel deeply and to truly connect with others.

An unhealthy gut, overrun with harmful bacteria, can lead to neurological issues and emotional disconnection.

But the good news is: healing is possible.

By gently detoxifying the gut and alkalizing the body, we create space for profound renewal—not just in adults, but in our children too.

Have you ever noticed how we feel grief or heartbreak in our belly first? That tightening, the ache—it doesn’t begin in the heart. It starts in the gut.

This sacred center is home to so many of our emotions and forms the foundation of our immune system.

When the gut is overwhelmed, it impacts our clarity of mind.

And when the mind is clouded, our consciousness—the heart’s wisdom—becomes disconnected.

According to ancient spiritual anatomy:

🌞 The heart is the Sun.

🌙 The gut is the Moon.

🔮 The pineal gland is Neptune.

🧠 The brain and nervous system—our five senses—are Mercury.

What touches the Moon (our gut) or the Sun (our heart) echoes through the entire universe within us.

So when we poison the gut, it disturbs our nervous system, our reasoning, our senses—our very experience of being alive.

We can’t detoxify a lifetime overnight.

But we can begin—gently, lovingly, patiently.

Each step brings us closer to balance, to healing, to freedom from medication.

In an alkaline body, no disease can truly take root.

This is the journey I walk with you—with compassion, energy healing, and deep respect for your body’s wisdom.

Let your healing begin with grace.

With love
