Pay Attention To Your Liver. Here's Why. Dear Friend,
When the garbage collectors go on strike, it's not a pretty sight. The rubbish piles up; there's a stink and the rats come out to party.
Waste removal (garbage collection) in the human body is overseen by the liver, the second largest organ in the body (after the skin) and is situated below the rib cage on your right side. Your liver is looked after by your swadisthana chakra.
Among the liver's important functions are:Production of bile, which helps carry away waste and break down fats in the small intestine during digestion Conversion of poisonous ammonia to urea (urea is an end product of protein metabolism and is excreted in the urine) Clearing the blood of drugs and other poisonous substances (source: Johns Hopkins Medicine) These all relate to what we consume. But we 'consume' more than food. We consume experiences - that book you read; that movie you went to see ; that conversation you had or listened. All of these experiences are 'digested' by your swadisthana chakra.
Your liver/swadisthan is the 'seat' of your attention. What we pay attention to from moment to moment determines mood, happiness and quality of life.
If the attention is allowed to become an unemptied garbage bin, then after a while there's an impact to both mental and physical health. The best way to look after your liver/swadisthan chakra is with a regular footspa described below.
Also below: being kind to your liver by what you eat and a meditation to feed your inner light.
