The term detoxification (or detox) means helping your body to cleanse itself from the residues of toxins in the air, water pollution, food additives, cigarette smoke and other environmental influences.  Your body naturally detoxifies each time you exhale carbon dioxide from the air you breathe and also through the natural processes of elimination.  You can take steps to support your body's ability to detoxify as a way to help prevent and heal illness and encourage vibrant health.  Eating a diet rich in fiber including whole grains, fruits, nuts, seeds and vegetables helps eliminate wastes.  Drinking water every day is also helpful.  Crystal therapy can also help support your natural detoxification process.  Here are the steps to follow if you would like to use a crystal for detoxification: (for this exercise you will need a single natural danburite crystal with a point or termination.  Danburite is a powerful healing stone and can be found in shades of pink, yellow or lilac.)  (1)  Sit comfortably and hold the danburite crystal in your right hand.  (2) Gently circle the crystal into the palm of your left hand, running the termination point of the crystal over the entire palm from the tips of each finger to the wrist.  It isn't necessary to push hard or to dig into your hand with the crystal.  Rather, simply move the danburite over your skin in a rhythmic motion.  (3) Switch hands and hold the crystal in your left hand while repeating the process by running the crystal over the entire right palm from the tips of the fingers to the wrist.  (4) When you have finished, wash your hands and drink at least 8 fl ounces of water.  Also be sure to cleanse your crystal (a quick way to do this to hold the stone under running water for a minute while holding the intention that all negative energies and influences are being cleansed from the stone then place the crystal in the sun to dry.)  In reflexology, the palms of the hands and soles of the feet are regarded as mirroring the whole body.  By stimulating your palms you are sending energy through the pathways of your body and clearing blockages as well as encouraging your body to release toxins.
