I have long had an obsession with clearing out my gut. I cannot agree more that a healthy gut is vital for a healthy mind. I had an aunt who suffered severe migraines regularly and was also chronically constipated. Coincidence ...?
I've experimented and re-experimented with diets, done juice fasts, had my share of colonic hydrotherapy - the "works" so to speak. I have come to the conclusion that regular active exercise plus avoidance of complex carbs works best for me.
Recently I have added daily half-hour mediation - partly because I have felt for quite a while I should make a regular practice of it and partly Grymt because you and other people I know IRL report such positive effects.
I am a huge fan now.
Meditation is: making me calmer and more confident, giving me clarity on my thoughts and purpose, causing vivid dreams, and giving me ideas and greater creativity in life.
Thank you for the inspiration to start doing this.
