| I Bow to Her Majesty the Green by Amar Fuller |

 Many years ago, while driving in my car, I heard something on the radio I will never forget. It was on a talk show with a panel of obese women. Two ideas came across to me while listening. The first one was, you can completely stuff deep within you and seemingly forget extremely traumatic events. Secondly, you must love yourself just the way you are. I remember quite clearly my reaction. “No way! How could a person possibly love themselves when they are so fat?And if a woman suffered from severe sexual trauma, how could she forget about it?” It very well may have been over thirty years ago when I had those thoughts… and guess what? I could have been one of the women on that panel. I was overweight as a girl and sexually abused when I was fourteen years old. During that car ride while listening to that program, I had absolutely no recollection of my deeply distressing childhood experience. However, I was very blessed with the presence of two Native elders, Shaman, wise, medicine women who allowed me the opportunity of studying with them. What I received from Grandmother Lillian Pitawanakwat and Grandmother Leona Jacobs was a foundation of real love, compassion, and confidence with a new lease on life.

 Make Your Own Loving Affirmation!
1) Take a quiet moment to reflect on a negative thought you have about yourself that you want to let go of. For example, I don't take good care of myself or I make bad food choices.
2) Compose your affirmation, being sure to use words that are positive and affirming. For example, I take loving, good care of myself! or I make good food choices that support my well-being.
3) Make an affirmation sign, or many signs, and post them around your home in places you’ll see often.
4) Read your affirmation many times each day. Speak it aloud when you can, and practice saying it with conviction. This is a powerful practice when done with sincerity. It begins with shifting our negative self-talk. As our ideas about ourselves begin to change, we notice that our circumstances begin to reflect that inner change. Be curious and see what happens. It’s a loving Valentines Day gift to give yourself! |

 I am Emily Maiella, a naturopathic physician and medical director of the Windhorse Naturopathic Clinic in Brattleboro. With gentle and genuine curiosity, I help patients uncover the sources of illness. Everyday, I continue to be inspired by the philosophy of naturopathic medicine and the effectiveness of the treatments used to assist the body in returning to health.
Today, I would like to share a particular use of colon hydrotherapy, which I believe to be under appreciated. If you are reading Graced By Green, you may already know, or have experienced a colon hydrotherapy treatment. Colon hydrotherapy is an ancient form of cleansing the colon with water, with the intention of removing waste from the large intestine. By gently introducing purified water into the colon, fecal material is softened and loosened, resulting in evacuation through natural peristalsis. This process is repeated many times during a session. At the end of the session, some patients chose to receive a colonic “implant” with wheatgrass juice*, organic coffee, or probiotics, for reseeding.
Our bodies are exposed to toxins every day. These toxins can be as seemingly innocent as the byproducts of digestion or excess hormones created by our body. And of course, there are the ever present environmental exposures which we are continuously filtering.
